When a user selects digital zooming in a camera such as might be included
in a wireless telephone or PDA, a series of images are automatically
obtained and superimposed using super-resolution techniques to produce an
improved digital zoom image transparently to the user.
1-13. (canceled)
14. Apparatus, comprising: an imager; a display; and a processor superimposing at least two images derived from signals from the imager to render a modified digital zoom image from the at least two images; and the processor sending to computer storage or to the display the modified digital zoom image.
15. Apparatus of claim 14, wherein the images are superimposed using super-resolution.
16. Apparatus of claim 14, wherein the apparatus has no capability for optical zooming.
17. Apparatus of claim 14, wherein the imager is a charge coupled device (CCD).
18. Apparatus of claim 14, wherein the apparatus is embodied as a wireless telephone.
19. Apparatus of claim 14, wherein the apparatus is embodied as a personal digital assistant (PDA).
[0001] The present invention relates generally to improving the image quality during digital zoom in cameras without optical zoom capability.
[0002] Optical zooming in camera entails the translational moving of a lens to magnify the image. In less capable cameras such as those typically included in wireless telephones and personal digital assistants (PDAs), the lenses do not move. To provide for a zoom-like function, digital zooming is used in which, for example, a portion of the image is cropped and the remaining image simply enlarged to fill the image screen. As understood herein, while digital zooming simulates the magnification yielded by optical zooming, it reduces image quality compared to optical zooming.
[0003] A method includes receiving a user selection of digital zooming in a camera and in response automatically generating plural images. The images are digitally zoomed and then superimposed to produce an improved digital zoom image transparently to the user.
[0004] The superimposition may be undertaken using super-resolution. The camera can be incorporated into a wireless telephone or personal digital assistant (PDA) or other device that does not have optical zoom capability. If desired, prior to zooming the images a portion of each image can be removed to render respective cropped images, and the cropped images are digitally zoomed.
[0005] In another aspect, an apparatus includes an imager, a processor communicating with the imager to receive signals therefrom, and a computer readable medium accessible to the processor and bearing instructions. The instructions cause the processor, in response to a predetermined user command to generate at least two images automatically and digitally zoom each image to render a respective zoomed image. The instructions also cause the processor to superimpose the zoomed images on each other to render a modified zoomed image.
[0006] In still another aspect, an apparatus includes an imager, a display, and a processor configured to present on the display a modified digital zoom image including at least two superimposed images.
[0007] The details of the present invention, both as to its structure and operation, can best be understood in reference to the accompanying drawings, in which like reference numerals refer to like parts, and in which:
[0008] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a non-limiting device that can incorporate present principles, with some components shown schematically; and
[0009] FIG. 2 is a flow chart of non-limiting logic in accordance with present principles.
[0010] Referring initially to FIG. 1, an apparatus is shown, generally designated 10, that can include an imager 12 such as a charge coupled device (CCD) and a processor 14 receiving image signals from the imager 12. The processor 14 can access a computer readable storage medium 16 such as but not limited to removable or non-removable solid state memory, disk memory, etc. The logic of FIG. 2 may be embodied as computer instructions on the medium 16 that are executable by the processor 14 to present a digitally zoomed image on a display 18 in accordance with principles set forth below.
[0011] The apparatus 10 may be embodied as a wireless telephone or personal digital assistant (PDA) or other portable device with a portable housing 20 in which, in one embodiment, the display 18 may be hingedly coupled to a base 22. The base 22 can be bear an input device 24 such as a telephone keypad, and one or more controls 26, both of which generate input signals to the processor 14 when manipulated. Among the user commands that can be input is a "digital zoom" command. The apparatus 10 may not have optical zoom capability. A wireless telephony receiver 28 may also be incorporated in the apparatus 10.
[0012] Now referring to FIG. 2, at block 30 a predetermined command from the user such as a digital zoom command is received. The command may be generated by, e.g., manipulating the control 26. In response, at block 32 plural images from the imager 12 are captured automatically in quick succession, e.g., within a few seconds of receiving the command. This occurs automatically, transparently to the user.
[0013] In some embodiments a portion of each image is removed from the image to render a cropped image at block 34. The cropped images are digitally zoomed at block 36 by, e.g., expanding the remaining image pixels to fill the original image area. Then, the zoomed images are combined at block 38 by superimposing them on each other to render a modified zoomed image that has higher resolution than any of the images from which it is derived. In one implementation, the superimposition may be done using super-resolution principles such as those disclosed in, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,208,765 and 7,218,751, incorporated herein by reference. The modified zoomed image is presented on the display at block 40.
[0014] As understood herein, if super-resolution techniques are used that require relative motion between successive images, this requirement may be satisfied by the inevitable hand movement that occurs when a person holds a camera, which results in a sequence of images in a few seconds each of which is slightly different than the others. If motion calculation is required, motion estimation algorithms may be employed. For example, a simple algorithm might be to estimate motion using groups of pixels in each image that remain substantially unchanged in value except for their relative positions within the images, with motion vectors being derived directly from the motion of the groups of pixels from image to image. The super-imposition techniques may use Bayesiari or Kalman filtering techniques in rendering the final, modified zoomed image.
[0015] The super-resolution processing may be executed in near real-time by the processor 14 as described above, or the images captured at block 32 and cropped at block 34 may be stored in the medium 16 and later downloaded to a personal computer or the like for subsequent steps to be performed off-line to render a final modified high resolution image that can then be printed or displayed on a large display such as a PC screen or TV.
[0016] While the particular SUPER-RESOLUTION DIGITAL ZOOM is herein shown and described in detail, it is to be understood that the subject matter which is encompassed by the present invention is limited only by the claims.

Laboratory studies of the interaction of carbon monoxide with water ice
Collings, M P and Dever, J W and Fraser, H J and McCoustra, M R S (2003) Laboratory studies of the interaction of carbon monoxide with water ice. Astrophysics and Space Science, 285 (3-4). pp. 633-659. ISSN 0004-640XFull text not available in this repository.Request a copy from the Strathclyde author
The interaction of carbon monoxide (CO) with vapour-deposited water (H2O) ices has been studied using temperature programmed desorption (TPD) and Fourier transform reflection-absorption infrared spectroscopy (FT-RAIRS) over a range of astrophysically relevant temperatures. Such measurements have shown that CO desorption from amorphous H2O ices is a much more complex process than current astrochemical models suggest. Re-visiting previously reported laboratory experiments (Collings et al., 2003), a rate model has been constructed to explain, in a phenomenological manner, the desorption of CO over astronomically relevant timescales. The model presented here can be widely applied to a range of astronomical environments where depletion of CO from the gas phase is relevant. The model accounts for the two competing processes of CO desorption and migration, and also enables the entrapment of some of the CO in the ice matrix and its subsequent release as the water ice crystallises and then desorbs. The astronomical implications of this model are discussed.

One of the tasks tonight was printing out student work; it needs to be printed so I can grade it and hand it back. Nowadays most students won't print their own work… usually, I think, from the cost involved.
The big cost is ink. My usual printer for everyday use is a worn Epson Stylus C-120. It uses four colors but five cartridges -doubling up on black – and if I were to use Epson-brand ink, the cost for one set of cartridges would be about $60. Each cartridge holds 12 ml of ink – thus Epson ink costs $1,000 per liter, or a bit less than $4,000 to the gallon. And you thought gasoline was high-priced?
I don't use Epson inks. I print way too much to go that route.
For the first couple of years I used a CISS – Continuous Ink Supply System. This is a set of 5 cartridges with tubing which loops outside the printer to a set of tanks holding bulk ink. The cost of the CISS was $35 – for 100 ml of ink in each tank! Re-inking costs were about $30 per 500ml – far less than name-brand.
CISS systems expect to be used, a lot. Daily works best. Otherwise the inks slowly draw back down the supply lines into the tank. If the time between use is too great, the inks may clot up a bit at the feed end of the tanks… at which point it's easier to pull the system out and replace it rather than fix it. Been there, done that. These inks are dye-based and not particularly stable, but work just fine for daily print work (mostly text).
For now, I'm using generic dye-filled cartridges bought on Amazon – the vendor name changes with each purchase, but on average I'm paying $1.25 per cartridge… everything is working fine, except the 'status' messages from the Epson printer driver software.
Epson's printer drivers give a visual depiction of remaining ink; and a warning pop-up when the capacity is 'low.' What I'm finding out is that 'low' is… a marketing ploy as opposed to any sort of reality. Two days ago I got the pop-up, urging me to buy ink as I was 'low' on black. Earlier tonight when I started to print, the indicator was at the bottom, indicating imminent emptiness – or so it seemed. Two hundred and four pages later, the indicator is still at the bottom… and the black ink is still printing nice and strong.
Tsk tsk tsk.

International Conference on Sharia, Segregation and Secularism
Today, far-Right movements, including religious fundamentalisms, are seizing power and on the rise in both democratic and authoritarian states. Even in more secularised societies, religious organisations have gained power because they have been considered valuable allies – to provide services as the state shrinks, to oppose radical social justice movements, as part of counter-terror strategies and post conflict 'stabilisation,' and as part of the privatisation of law. From development banks to Western aid and human rights organisations, fundamentalists, particularly Islamists, have been promoted in the name of minority and religious rights. The growth of community based 'Sharia' and other parallel legal systems is part of this process of acquiescence and promotion by western states and international institutions as much as by fundamentalist regimes and movements.
When far-Right movements, including religious fundamentalists, take power or gain social acceptance, women are the first targets. They erase women from the public space, treat them as second-class citizens and consider them extensions of family and religious and national honour, not individuals with universal human rights.
On the 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, we recall that the peoples of the world came together in the hope of ending war, colonialism and fascism and ensuring human rights for all regardless of sex, race, citizenship or other status.
These struggles insisted on our common humanity and equality – not difference or superiority. Yet, we are concerned that many of the struggles that constituted universal rights have been erased from history and labelled 'western' by regressive identity politics. Those who see human rights and secular values as 'western' simply negate the history of local African, Middle Eastern and Asian struggles for secularism and do not recall that secular values were clearly understood to be the only framework which could build multi-ethnic, multi-religious, plural societ
Today, we acknowledge that we owe our rights to liberationand civil rights struggles across the globe, which created the foundation of modern human rights, including the right to women's equality, freedom of expression and freedom of conscience, i.e. freedom of and from religion. We confirm our opposition to the fascist far-Right as we oppose all religious fundamentalisms. One feeds into the other. They are complementary and indispensable to each other. One can never excuse the other. We affirm the centrality of the universality of rights and the principle of secularism – the complete separation of religion from the state - to ensure that religion cannot influence the state and public policy and impose itself on private lives.
'One Law for All' stands for the struggle for universalism, secularism and against religious oppression.
On the 10th anniversary of One Law for All, we call for:
International Conference on Sharia, Segregation and Secularism
The International Conference on Sharia, Segregation and Secularism unequivocally supports Asia Bibi's right to asylum and protection in a safe country.
We salute the political courage of the lawyer who defended Asia and the judges who ruled in favour of her acquittal in Pakistan. Their respect for human rights and justice for all, despite serious risks to their lives, is commendable.
Whilst Asia Bibi has been released on appeal in November 2018 after 8 years on death row, her life is in danger and she is living in hiding. Islamist groups have been calling for her death as well as the death of her lawyer Saif Ul Malook and the judges who acquitted her. According to news reports, she and her family are being hunted house to house.
Despite her urgent need for refuge, the UK Foreign Office has urged the Home Office not to grant Asia Bibi political asylum in the UK out of safety concerns. This decision amounts to a gross violation of the very idea of asylum as a human right. Worse still, it signals the complicity of the British government with fundamentalist violence.
The Conference urges the UK Government to grant Asia Bibi protection and asylum. Mob violence must not deter us from defending fundamental human rights.
The conference also urges the release of all those in prison on blasphemy and apostasy charges in Pakistan and internationally and calls for an end to these laws everywhere.
– not because of a "religious revival" but rather due to the rise of far-Right political movements and states using religion for political supremacy.
This rise is a direct consequence of neo-conservatism and neo-liberalism and the social policies of communalism and cultural relativism.
Universalism, secularism and citizenship rights have been abandoned and segregation of societies and "communities" based on ethnicity, religion and culture have become the norm.
The Islamic State (formerly ISIS), the Saudi regime, Hindutva (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh) in India, the Christian-Right in the US and Europe, Bodu Bala Sena in Sri Lanka, Haredim in Israel, AQMI and MUJAO in Mali, Boko Haram in Nigeria, the Taliban in Afghanistan and Pakistan to the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Islamic Salvation Front in Algeria are examples of this.
For many decades now, people in the Middle East, North Africa, South Asia and the Diaspora have been the first victims but also on the frontlines of resistance against the religious-Right (whether religious states, organisations and movements) and in defence of secularism and universal rights, often at great risk to their lives.

The Roots of Judaism and Christianity
Jews and Christians have the same roots but have developed very differently throughout time. The basis of these two religions shares some similarities, but also differences. They both stem from different places and over time have developed on their own to have their own identity.
The Jews are a people who trace their descent from the biblical Israelites and who are united by the religion called Judaism. They are not a race; Jewish identity is a mixture of ethnic, national, and religious elements. An individual may become part of the Jewish people by conversion to Judaism; but a born Jew who rejects Judaism or adopts another religion does not entirely lose his Jewish identity. In biblical times the Jews were divided into 12 tribes: Reuben, Simeon (Levi), Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, Benjamin, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Ephraim, and Manasseh.
The word Jew is derived from the kingdom of Judah, which included the tribes of Benjamin and Judah.
The name Israel referred to the people as a whole and to the northern kingdom of 10 tribes. Today it is used as a collective name for all Jewry and since 1948 for the Jewish state. (Citizens of the state of Israel are called Israelis; not all of them are Jews.) In the Bible, Hebrew is used by foreign peoples as a name for the Israelites; today it is applied only to the hebrew language.
The origin of the Jews is recounted in the Hebrew Bible. Despite legendary and miraculous elements in its early narratives, most scholars believe that the biblical account is based on historic realities. According to the Book of Genesis, God ordered the patriarch Abraham to leave his home in Mesopotamia and travel to a new land, which he promised to Abraham's descendants as a...

Its been a heck of a year for Californian rhythm and blues quartet Vintage Trouble …2015 saw the release of their critically acclaimed 3rd studio album '1 Hopeful Road', appearances ion Later With Jools, opening for ACDC and now headlining their own sold out show at the world famous Glasgow Barrowland…doesn't really any better than that!!!
' Vintage Trouble' took to a stripped back stage on which lay a large black and red carpet draped by vintage amps and received one of the loudest roars I've ever heard from a crowd most of whom still had the bands amazing performance at Hampden Park still in mind….singer Ty Taylor looked almost shocked but genuinely pleased by the Barras reception. Vintage Trouble eased the crowd into their set with 'Soul Serenity'…..amazing song and the spirit of Al Green lives on. The opening notes of 'Blues Hand Me Down' tore through the amp of Nalle Colt and the amazing gyrations of Ty Taylor set the hall on fire. These guys are seriously cool with a capital 'K', sharply dressed and truly amazing musicians.
Ty Taylor welcomes the noisy crowd and thanks them for their support, tells them the band love playing Scotland which is the perfect way to endear yourself to the Glasgow crowd… they love that kind of thing and he dedicates "before The Tear Drops ' to them.
The band conclude their what seems short set with the soulful 'Not Alright By Me' and of course the crowd know that's not the end and after a noisy encore VT return with upbeat "Strike Your Light', 'Run Like The Rive' and finishing with the 'unashamedly 'Wilson Pickett' influenced 'Pelvis Pusher'…
To really appreciate this band you have to experience them live as their blistering hot live performances don't quite come across on their records…
Brilliant gig…..10/10

LABS Suite is our flexible laboratory software for Industry 4.0
The new trend toward Industry 4.0 / Laboratory 4.0
Economic considerations and legal specifications means that laboratories are no longer able to escape the digital development toward Industry 4.0. This refers to the complete digitisation of work processes, their horizontal and vertical integration into the company, and the analysability of information arising within the value creation chain of a company.
LABS Suite – our Industry 4.0 software for the future
Our software platform LABS Suite provides all company levels, laboratory areas, and sites with information and functions tailored to their respective requirements, as Industry 4.0 software. We have been incorporating the experiences of our customers and our employees into our software development process for over 30 years, which has created a solid foundation for us to build on. The horizontal and vertical integration of business processes/information across various interfaces is the key focus here.
- LABS Suite laboratory software will free you from time-consuming, error-prone routine tasks by means of automatic planning, the creation of laboratory orders (formulas/tests), the manual/automatic detection of measurements and calculation of results, and even the evaluation and allocation of reports/certificates.
- As a result, laboratory staff can concentrate on their actual tasks and targets.
- The utilisation of existing resources is considerably improved, and processing times significantly reduced.
- Collaboration – both within labs and with partners – also becomes more efficient through automation and transparency. This helps prevent complaints and speeds up the development/improvement of products.

Advent III
Bearing the fruits of mercy
I find today's Gospel reading most interesting and instructive.
3:7 John said to the crowds that came out to be baptized by him, "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
3:8 Bear fruits worthy of repentance. Do not begin to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our ancestor'; for I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
3:9 Even now the ax is lying at the root of the trees; every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire."
3:10 And the crowds asked him, "What then should we do?"
3:11 In reply he said to them, "Whoever has two coats must share with anyone who has none; and whoever has food must do likewise."
3:12 Even tax collectors came to be baptized, and they asked him, "Teacher, what should we do?"
3:13 He said to them, "Collect no more than the amount prescribed for you."
3:14 Soldiers also asked him, "And we, what should we do?" He said to them, "Do not extort money from anyone by threats or false accusation, and be satisfied with your wages."
3:15 As the people were filled with expectation, and all were questioning in their hearts concerning John, whether he might be the Messiah,
3:16 John answered all of them by saying, "I baptize you with water; but one who is more powerful than I is coming; I am not worthy to untie the thong of his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.
3:17 His winnowing fork is in his hand, to clear his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his granary; but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire."
3:18 So, with many other exhortations, he proclaimed the good news to the people.
• Luke 3:7-18
The part I find most intriguing is the final verse:
So, with many other exhortations, he proclaimed the good news to the people.
Everything Lutheran in me recoils at these words. In my tradition we make a strong distinction between "exhortations" and proclaiming "the good news."
We are taught that exhortations are Law, directed to me, divine commandments telling me how to live and what to do. The good news on the other hand is Gospel, a declaration of what God has done, is doing, and will do for me in Jesus Christ.
We are also taught that, in God's economy the two work together. Through hearing the Law (divine exhortations) I recognize my sinfulness and inability to fulfill God's commandments. Then, despairing of my own righteousness, I hear the Gospel, which assures me of Christ's righteousness that is mine through the living union with him that comes through faith. As Luther said in the Heidelberg Disputation: "The law says, 'do this,' and it is never done. Grace says, 'believe in this,' and everything is already done."
However, the text before us links John's exhortations with proclaiming the good news in a much different kind of way.
- John proclaimed the good news by exhorting the people.
- With exhortations he proclaimed the good news.
Now, perhaps John's words could be understood in different ways:
- Perhaps John was preaching two things: (1) he gave exhortations, and (2) along with those exhortations he proclaimed the good news.
- Perhaps, as Raymond Brown suggests in his commentary, the later meaning of the Greek word euangelizesthai (proclaiming the Christian message of salvation) is not indicated at this point, and the focus in simply on depicting John as an exhorter of the people.
- Perhaps this is simply a typical Lukan summary statement (which are common throughout Luke/Acts) and shouldn't be pressed too hard. John had a ministry of proclaiming good news, in the context of which he gave the kinds of exhortations we see in the preceding passage.
But these seem to me to miss the plain reading of the text. John proclaimed the good news by exhorting the people, as is portrayed in the preceding verses.
If that is the case, John not only preached the gospel by pointing people to Christ (3:16-17 — though notice that even here the emphasis is not primarily on Jesus bringing salvation but the fire of judgment on Israel), but also by telling them, "Bear fruits worthy of repentance" (3:8) and then detailing what that might look like in different cases.
What I find interesting is that, in the specific exhortations John gives, there is an emphasis on showing mercy to others.
- The one who has more than he needs must share with the one who has nothing.
- Those who collect taxes must not take more than they are due from others.
- Soldiers must be content and abstain from extorting, especially through threatening or mistreating others.
Then, observe, it was these very exhortations that moved the people to be "filled with expectation" and to wonder whether John "might be the Messiah" (3:15).
In other words, their expectation was not simply that a Messiah would come to save them from their enemies, but that the Messiah would come as a prophet, proclaiming God's mercy and the fruits it would bear in their lives. The good news of God's mercy toward us in Jesus is both salvific and transformative.
The "good news" they heard in these "exhortations" was that Messiah would both bring them mercy and make them merciful.
This is why, during Advent, we are not just looking for Jesus to come and deliver us from evil.
We are also looking for Jesus to make us people who will confront the evil in ourselves and in the world with mercy, grace, kindness, and love.

Return to topHow To Choose Your Projector for home cinema
There are a host of models available from manufacturers such as Benq, Epson and Hitachi. And. like most electrical devices, projectors have different specifications and to compare them buyers generally look at the resolution, brightness and aspect ratio.Brightness
The brightness of a projector is measured in lumens. Basically the higher the lumens the brighter the projector. Something to consider here is that a brighter projector can display more detailed images so are ideal for showing technical information whereas viewing TV or movies doesn't require such a bright projector.
It is also advisable to consider where the projector will be sited. As a very rough rule of thumb the larger the room the brighter the projector will need to be. And, as a projector performs best in a darkened space, a projector with a lower lumens rating can be used if you are able to control the level of lighting. For lighter rooms a higher lumens rating will be required.Resolution
The higher the resolution the better the quality, or detail, of the image projected. There is a range of resolutions from which to choose including SVGA (800x600), XGA (1024x768) and widescreen WXGA (1200x800) which are the most common resolutions available. Aspect Ratio
Put simply the aspect ratio of a projector is the width of the image in relation to its height. There are two common aspect ratios; 4:3 which is usually best for business or classroom use and 16:9 which is best for home cinemas. A third option is 16:10 which is designed for use with widescreen computers.Finding Your Projector
Whether giving a presentation at the office or enjoying movies and video games in the comfort of your own living room, Ebuyer.com have the ideal projector for you.
And you can search for your projector by using the filter feature on the left and searching by brand, aspect ratio, price and more.

Thumb injuries have gone viral on the Boston Red Sox. Who knew that thumb problems are catchy?
Dustin Pedroia could be out as much as a month according to some reports because of his injured thumb. He played for weeks with a problem that blew up with aggravation.
If we know Dustin, he will compound the problem and be out two months by trying to come back too early. Who can forget him taking ground balls on his knees after wrecking his ankle?
Some wags are insisting that the Sox thumbs are down and out this season. Just a few weeks ago Josh Beckett was a traveling carnival show, looking up every thumb specialist in America for an opinion.
Later Red Sox bullpen ace Andrew Bailey injured his thumb in a freak accident and has had surgery. He still is not back, and the bullpen has only recovered moderately while twiddling its proverbial thumbs.
We think these injuries may be coming from players mercilessly thumbing their noses at Bobby Valentine in the dugout.
The other option, far less savory, is that players have been sitting on thumbs on the bench. Ouch. Call in the proctologists.
The Red Sox swept out the medical staff over the off-season, but it looks like someone stuck a thumb in the box of chicken wings and pulled out a ligament.
We worry about the next time the Sox are on the road. We don't want the Red Sox to starting thumbing from town to town.
Not since medieval times have torturing fans with thumbscrews become all the rage.

Middle Eastern Music for Bellydancers:
Zills & Maqamat with Awalim in Athens
I've already blogged about these workshops, of course -- and I'll be pointing my Subaru in the direction of Athens Saturday morning to do lots of zill-playing with Ziah (which I love -- I was a percussionist in high school, and I actually remember playing finger cymbals to an exotic piece by Vaclav Nelhybel) and learning about the subtleties of Middle Eastern music with Majda. I've had kind of an Athens fetish since my art school days in the 80's, so I am excited about the road trip.
Mad Hatters' Hafla & Open Stage Night at Dune LoungeBrought to you by the venerable Kira, this is a new concept in haflas. For a $5 entry fee, you can perform -- not unlike an open mic night, but for belly dancers! You'll also get a video recording of your performance, I believe. There will be drumming and dancing all night, with a drum circle starting at 10:00. Oh, and I think you're expected to wear a hat! Click here for more info.
Jahara Phoenix at Collaborations AtlantaThis is another new performance event that may become an ongoing series. Jahara Phoenix will bring their finesse, creativity and sass to The Beam on Glenwood Avenue, as artists, poets, musicians, and dancers present collaborative performances. Sounds like some very cool stuff could happen! Tickets are $10 -- visit the Facebook event page for more info.
Every weekend night at Nicola's is a party, and a chance to see Aya perform is a real treat. If you know me, you know that Aya was my teacher for several years and I was a member of her troupe, Ayaat. She is a graceful performer and a truly warm, gracious restaurant dancer who connects with every member of the audience.
I have been very flattered a few times to hear people use the word "graceful" when complimenting me on a performance, and I believe I owe much of that to Aya and her uniquely flowing style of dance. If you haven't seen Aya perform recently, this Saturday is your chance!

So why get Married in Scotland?
The Scots aren't only free when it comes to their lack of undergarments when wearing a kilt.
Scotland is also extremely relaxed and lenient with regards to its marriage laws.
In comparison to the UK, in Scotland you can get married anywhere – even outdoors – at anytime, making it a unique and unbeatable place to hold your wedding day.
As well as its laws, Scotland also boasts unrivalled scenery, an abundance of old romantic wedding venues and a metropolis of exciting cities for those couples wanting to tie the knot in the hustle and bustle.
If you're thinking of basing your wedding in Scotland, here's our guide to getting married in the land of neeps and tatties.
From the luscious highlands and beautiful coastline in the very North to ancient Edinburgh and eloping-famous Gretna Green on the border, Scotland has every kind of wedding venue to choose from.
If you're looking for a charismatic Victorian mansion, Eastwood House in Giffnock dates back to the 19th century and offers a grand staircase at its centre and bespoke tartan carpet throughout.
Whilst the 18th century Best Western Buchanan Arms Hotel in Loch Lomond boasts a great combination of historic and contemporary decor. As well as, a conservatory and gardens to hold your ceremony and reception.
If you want to fulfil the fairytale wedding archetype, there's no better place to find your perfect princess castle than in Scotland. From Fernie Castle in Fernie to Drumtochty Castle in Auchenblae, each has its own unique charisma, history and decor to complete your magical day.
In complete contrast, if you'd rather a city centre wedding in a venue, which still retains Scotland's wonderful architecture in a central location, the Trades Hall of Glasgow is an opulent venue to hold your big day.
As well as its magnificent location and diverse wedding venues, Scotland also boasts a great selection of suppliers. From spectacular firework displays from Fireworx Scotland and Scotland's iconic bagpipes from John Mackintosh to the perfectly crafted bridal gowns and Mother of the Bride accessories from Elegance of Perth, Scotland has you covered for all things wedding.
Scotland is beautiful all year round. Of course, the likelihood of rain is higher during the winter months nevertheless, the region's festive cheer ignites its charm during this period. The summer months see Scotland doused in sunshine and floral colours – perfect for an outdoor/beach wedding.

Reading time: 6 min
The director of famous films - "The Fifth Element" and the recently released "Valerian and the City of Thousands of Planets" - is considered one of the most successful figures in the film industry. Analyzing the life and, in particular, the career of Luc Besson, we have identified several principles that anyone can use to move in the right direction and reach new heights.
Each film by Luc Besson - worked out to the details. For example, for the movie "Valerian and the city of thousands of planets" Besson developed 200 alien species and he wrote a description of each of them (this work takes 600 pages!).
This rule is applicable to different life situations: if you work for quality and think through every detail in your work, you will necessarily see a positive result. It is also important to remember the details that relate to others, be it the person's name or his birthday. Such a simple technique will help you to easily establish relationships with others.
Luke himself was planning to be an underwater biologist at a young age, but in connection with health problems, he had to give up this profession. But he did not lose his head and decided that his future would be directing. He ventured - and it turned out that this was really his vocation, which became both a hobby and a job.
If you feel that in your life it's time to change something - take a risk and, for example, look for a job abroad.
Luc Besson began writing the script of the "Fifth Element" at the age of 16 and continued to work on it for more than ten years. The film was released when Besson was 38. As a result, the "Fifth Element" became a cult film and demonstrated record collections.
Thus, know how to wait - do not ask for the result immediately, once you have done something. After all, he who knows how to wait, gets everything. But you need to wait without folding your arms, and working and approaching your goal.
Besson claims that many people did not believe in him and told him that he would never film it. But the world-famous director shot - and not one film, which became a cult.
We also often hear someone say to us: "You should not go there and try / It's useless / Why do you need this?", But only we know what we really need. If people do not believe in you, this is not a reason to stop - this is an excuse to keep going to your goal.
You must believe in yourself and set yourself a bar. You must be your main critic. And remember that the more difficult the goal, the more interesting it is to move towards them.
Luc Besson says that the main thing in what he does is enjoy the process and go to the result, which can be proud of. For example, if his film is not accepted, the main thing is to be happy with the result.
Apply this universal principle to your life - understand that in fact you love and do it. Look for a job that will bring you pleasure. Or find positive moments in the current work - things that bring you pleasure. It is he who does what he likes, reaches the top, because he puts his soul into his work and works with pleasure.
Good luck to you!

Illegal immigrants are kidnapping children and bringing them across the border, hoping to appear to be families so they can take advantage of lax enforcement policies, the Obama administration told a federal appeals court on Tuesday.
Leon Fresco, a deputy assistant attorney general who handles immigration cases, made the stunning claim as he defended the administration's policy of detaining illegal immigrant parents and children caught traveling together as they jump the border. After a federal judge last year ordered the families quickly released, Mr. Fresco said it's served as an enticement for kidnapping.
"When people now know that when I come as a family unit, I won't be apprehended and detained — we now have people being abducted so that they can be deemed as family units, so that they can avoid detention," Mr. Fresco told the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.
He did not back up that claim in court, and did not respond to a follow-up email seeking comment. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the agency that handles detention and deportation, declined to comment, citing the ongoing case, while Customs and Border Protection, which guards the border, did not respond to a request for comment.

(Plot SPOILERS ahead for SUPERHOT.)
SUPERHOT should be a lot more fun than it actually is. Here's a game with one of the most innovative twists on shooter mechanics I've seen in years yet I find it difficult to play the game for more than forty minutes. It's a rare case of a developer nailing the gameplay with a blindingly original core concept but then utterly failing to build anything close to an effective game around it. At the very least, SUPERHOT's failure is not due to a lack of trying, but rather due a mismanagement of content and tone which ultimately ends up undermining its mechanics with few benefits to show for it.
In case you haven't been watching the ubiquitous videos floating around, SUPERHOT's gameplay consists of your standard loose FPS mechanics a la Half Life except everyone dies in a single hit. Far more importantly, time only moves normally when the player moves and it moves at a tiny fraction of normal speeds when the player is standing still. The result is an intriguing combination of pseudo-turn based strategy and twitchy improvisation that's greatly encouraged by shooting mechanics which incentivize maneuverability (ie. guns have low ammo and can't be reloaded but enemies can be disarmed easily). I could describe what SUPERHOT's gameplay looks like in exhaustive detail, but it's better to just watch a YouTube video of someone playing it far better than I ever will.
While the gameplay's features are still a bit underdeveloped (the campaign is only 2 hours long, there aren't enough weapon types, only one enemy type, etc.) the core mechanics alone are enough to make SUPERHOT worth playing. They are innovative, complex, and most importantly, fun. The problem is that just about every other aspect of the game, including the story, music, and menus, create an oppressive atmosphere which directly contradicts the overwhelmingly fun mechanics.
As soon as the game is started, the player is confronted with clunky, ugly menu screens emulating a particularly dirty retro computer. This interface seemingly exists to carry the campaign's bizarre self-aware narrative concerning a sentient program which somehow hijacks people's brains after luring them into playing SUPERHOT (the game within the real game's narrative). I've heard a lot of negative evaluations of SUPERHOT's story but I honestly don't get the hate. It's a simple but well-made presentation of addiction and insanity which uses its retro aesthetics to purposefully make the player uncomfortable with ugly and restrictive level designs cut between the liberating shooter sections.
The problem isn't the narrative itself, it's how it meshes with the gameplay. The story is designed to be oppressive and grueling while the gameplay is fun and freewheeling. While that clash may serve to amplify the narrative (by creating an addictive paradigm for the player that mirrors the player-character's own addiction to SUPERHOT), that benefit isn't worth the cost of undermining the mechanics by constantly knocking the player out of an enjoyable rhythm to drag him through bleak visuals and disquieting plot points.
It especially doesn't help that the narrative's atmosphere isn't contained to the campaign, but rather permeates the entire game via the omnipresent retro computer menus and jarring, static-filled level transitions. The bleak atmosphere even seeps into the core gameplay with a barren lack of music and eerie sound effects which do little to amplify the elation of pulling off a series of complicated maneuvers and successfully completing a level.
The obvious point of comparison to SUPERHOT is Hotline Miami, which similarly features extremely fun and hyper-lethal shooting mechanics with rapid respawns. But HM's developers understood the nature of their mechanics far better than SUPERHOT's. Hence HM had a carefully crafted atmosphere designed to capture the dualistic nature of the gameplay: the insane mania of its violence, and the jarring silence at its conclusion. Therefore HM uses a bright neon color scheme, snappy transitions, a surreal story, and pumping techno music designed to convey the gameplay's situational energy.
In contrast, SUPERHOT's equally fun gameplay struggles to breathe under a black and white color scheme, cumbersome transitions, an oppressive story, and no music whatsoever. Which isn't to say that SUPERHOT should have copied HM's general aesthetic, I'm sure something interesting could have been made out of SUPERHOT's sharp contrasts rather than HM's swirling sensory overload. Maybe SUPERHOT's music could come in jarring bursts while the player and gameworld move, and then slow to a crawl as the player and gameworld do the same.
But instead SUPERHOT is left with an overwhelmingly bleak atmosphere which buries its gameplay under an aesthetic framework which is hard to stomach for long. Imagine HM's gameplay under the atmosphere of Dark Souls for a rough point of comparison. Rather than getting carried through retry after retry to the tune of unavoidably catchy music and hypnotic visuals a la HM, SUPERHOT leaves me empty and weary even when I succeed. This type of gameplay is supposed to provide short bursts of hyper-active fun, but SUPERHOT not only utterly fails to do so, but didn't even seem to try.
After playing the campaign I got the distinct sense that SUPERHOT's developers fell in love with the game's narrative a bit too much. I can't think of any other reason to position so much of the game as a complimentary boost to its story while seemingly undermining its gameplay. It's just bizarre. The gameplay is the primary selling point here. It's the reason SUPERHOT will be bought, played, and remembered. I love a good campaign as much or more so than most players, but I'm also aware that games have echelons of focus based on their strengths and weaknesses. HM 1 certainly had a good campaign, but it's ultimately the blitz gameplay that it's remembered for. In a way, I actually admire that SUPERHOT's developers went for an interesting and unorthodox story (though self-aware meta-narratives are becoming more and more common on the indie scene) but creating this narrative at the expense of its gameplay demonstrated a terrible lapse in judgement.
As much as I admire SUPERHOT's originality I have a hard time recommending the game overall, especially at a rather steep $25 price tag. Hopefully a sequel will be made eventually with a different aesthetic tone and give the SUPERHOT gameplay the set-up it deserves.

Comfort Women. In search for understanding, by Shanna Todd
The Gender and Peace Studies course at the University for Peace focuses on how gender is intricately intertwined in every aspect of our lives. Throughout the course we have discussed the complex definition of "gender" and its relationship with family, science, war, human trafficking and prostitution, as well as religion. In entering this course, I had little understanding of the large role gender played in our lives. However, as I found myself seeking understanding on different global issues involving women, I realized that the only way for me to have a true understanding of how and why these acts of violence and oppression continue to happen in today's society was to seek out the underlying premise of these issues, which was gender. One is the "comfort women" .

One of India's top universities erupted in conflict and controversy over the weekend, with thousands staging a mass protest on Sunday after the president of its student union was arrested under a colonial-era sedition law.
Teachers, students and alumni of New Delhi's prestigious Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), along with civil-society activists, formed a human chain stretching about 2 km to protest the "arbitrary charges" under which student president Kanhaiya Kumar was arrested, the Indian Express newspaper reported.
The university's faculty and student bodies also called for an indefinite strike from Monday until Kumar is released.
The rapidly spiraling saga began last Tuesday, when a group of JNU students held an event to commemorate the second anniversary of the death of Afzal Guru — a terrorist convict hanged in 2013 for his alleged role in an attack on India's Parliament in 2001. Guru's execution has long been controversial and divisive, with many claiming he was unjustly implicated for being from the disputed region of Kashmir, which India and its contentious neighbor Pakistan both claim and have fought two wars over since 1947.
The proceedings drew the ire of the ABVP, a right-wing national student association affiliated with the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. ABVP representatives called for the event to be canceled and filed a police complaint after some attendees (whom JNU students allege were from outside the institution) were reported to have shouted slogans denouncing India.
Kumar's arrest on Friday, which came soon after Indian Home Minister Rajnath Singh condemned "antinational" activities on the JNU campus, has morphed into a heated political confrontation. Opposition parties, dozens of other universities, and many sections of the media have joined JNU's students and professors in condemning what they allege is a crackdown on dissent and stifling of free speech by the Modi government.
"JNU is inclusive, and anyone who doesn't like inclusion is branding JNU antinational," Ajay Patnaik, head of the JNU Teacher's Association, told the Express.
Kumar, for his part, has proclaimed his innocence.
"I dissociate myself from slogans that were shouted during the event," he reportedly said in court on Friday. "I have full faith in the constitution of the country and I always say that Kashmir is an integral part of India."
The events of the past week have reignited growing fears of right-wing extremism under Modi, an issue that gathered momentum last year amid several instances of perceived intolerance.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – To fund Obamacare, the Obama administration planned to end the American Dream of middle-class home ownership by stealing from Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac the profits needed to pay dividends to private investors and to recapitalize the two Government Sponsored Entities (GSEs) needed to withstand future economic downtowns.
The latest document released today – the third of three released this week – is a Treasury Department document intended for internal government use, titled "Housing Finance Principals," dated Jan. 24, 2010, with a subtitle "Discussion Document: Sensitive and Pre-Decisional" marked "Sensitive Material/Do Not Distribute."
Below: The Third Document

Click here for Part 2: The Second Document
To replace Fannie and Freddie, the Obama administration planned to turn over the financing of middle-class home mortgages over to Wall Street and big banks in a plan the Treasury Department knew would likely end the 30-year fixed mortgage and severely restrict the capital required to promote a robust middle-class home-buying market.
Not only were the profits confiscated by the Obama Treasury Dept. from Fannie and Freddie diverted to pay the Obamacare insurance subsidies that Congress had refused to provide taxpayer dollars to fund, but the department also planned that after the demise of Fannie and Freddie, the only government subsidy provided to home buyers would be Federal Housing Authority subsidies for low-income home buyers.
I feel sure that my friend @RandPaul will come along with the new and great health care program because he knows Obamacare is a disaster!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 8, 2017
In an "Overview" on page 2, the Treasury document makes clear that a policy decision on Fannie and Freddie's ultimate destiny was planned for release by the Obama administration during the week of Feb. 7, 2011, to be made public though an inter-agency rollout plan that involved congressional and press briefings.
The "Overview" notes that the decision meeting was scheduled to be held with President Obama on Jan. 28, 2011, in anticipation of the public announcement in early February that year.
The guts of the Treasury Dept. internal discussion document are laid out in page 3, "White Paper: Revised Executive Summary Structure," marked again "Sensitive/Pre-Decisional."
The bullet points on page 3 articulate the department objective to privatize the federal mortgage operations traditionally undertaken by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac with a methodology that would "Scale back the government's role in the housing finance system to reduce taxpayer risk and bring private capital into the market."
On page 3 (in what is referred to as "Slide 5"), the document makes clear the Treasury Dept.'s "housing reform" plan has no role envisioned for Fannie or Freddie, only for the Federal Housing Authority, FHA (traditionally a provider of low-income housing subsidies): the U.S. Department of Agriculture, USDA (a key provider of rural home loans); the Veterans Administration (VA); and Ginnie Mae, another government home financing agency that specializes in providing insurance for bonds issued by the FHA and VA in "affordable housing" programs target at low-income home buyers and veterans.
Page 4 further defines the Treasury Dept. "White Paper" with a focus on "Access/Affordability."
The point of the "Access/Affordability" discussion appears to be the need for government to require Wall Street and big banks to continue to stress the needs of low-income home buyers as they take over the mortgage securitization activities traditionally performed by Fannie and Freddie, with their traditional emphasis on credit-worthy middle-class home buyers.
That is specified in a bullet point "Duty to Serve" that reads as follows: "A requirement of secondary market participants to serve undeserved markets, ensuring that securitizers and guarantors of mortgages provide equal consideration and support to credit-worthy borrowers in all communities."
The conclusions of the Treasury Dept. discussion document are presented on page 5, entitled "White Paper: End State Options."
The first point, "Limited government role to FHA, VA, USDA, and Ginnie Mae" reads:
"One option for further reform would be to continue winding down the government's role in housing finance until it is phased out, except for the targeted support provided by FHA, VA, USDA, and Ginnie Mae. Under this approach, the allocation of capital to housing finance would generally be left to private markets, though still subject to strengthened regulation and access and affordability initiatives as described above. This would remove the additional taxpayer risk from supporting the housing finance system, and eliminate the moral housing and other market distortions that can arise from a broad-based government guarantee of assets."
The first point continues with more explicit language of the Treasury Department's intent, reading as follows:
"Such a path would not be without cost, however, as it [could/would likely] mean higher mortgage rates, less availability of the pre-payable 30-year fixed-rate mortgage, and less standardization of products throughout the housing-finance system."
For those familiar with the securitization process as implemented by Wall Street and big banks, by which mortgage loans are packaged into securities that can be sold to either interest rate investors and/or investors interested in principal re-payment, this document advocates that middle-class families should be pushed into rental units (much as in Europe), as home-ownership fades as part of the American Dream alongside the rise of Obamacare.
The remainder of Page 5 makes clear the Treasury Department plan would keep government mortgage re-insurance only for the low-income housing programs offered by the FHA, the VA, the USDA, and Ginnie Mae.
On Feb. 2, 2012, the Washington Post reported on the Treasury Department's plans for "reforming the U.S. housing market," suggesting the Obama administration took one year to make final decisions on the proposals put forth in the Treasury Dept's "Housing Finance Principals" discussion document dated Jan. 24, 2011.
"The Obama administration plans to push forward this spring with efforts to wind down government-backed housing giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and attract more private funding to mortgage markets, Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner said Thursday," the Washington Post stated.
"Geithner told reporters that administration officials have begun more intensively exploring legislative options for overhauling the nation's finance system with lawmakers on Capitol Hill, as well as with academics and outside advocacy groups," the Washington Post article continued. "Still, he said that concrete changes won't come soon."
The Washington Post noted that "in a white paper last February," the Obama administration had outlined options for "a long-term overhaul of the housing markets," with options that eliminated Fannie and Freddie while retaining the FHA "which focuses on loans to borrowers who can't afford sizeable down payments."
Throughout the second term, the Obama administration continued to rob Fannie and Freddie of all profits to divert them to pay Obamacare insurance subsidies, defying the will of Congress.
Fortunately, Obama's second term ended without the administration proposing any legislation to reform mortgage finance in the United State, even with all the planning undertaken by the Treasury Department in the years 2010-2012.
But Obamacare remains in place.

ROSWELL, Ga. — High school students hiding from the gunman in Parkland, Florida, were forced to whisper in calls to 911 for fear of tipping off their location. Others texted friends and family who then relayed information to emergency dispatchers over the phone.
A few months later, a woman in Michigan was able to send off short text messages to 911 dispatchers as her homicidal husband held their daughter hostage. She was able to convey enough information to help officers get to the scene and formulate a plan to stop the man without the family being harmed.
SOURCE: Post-Gazette
DATE: May 17, 2018
The two cases show how that in this era of active shooters, police shootings and global terrorism, a patchwork of technology around the country can make the experience of calling 911 vastly different depending on where you live. More cities have begun to accept text messages recently, but the system that Americans rely on during their most vulnerable moments still hinges largely on landline telephones, exposing a weak link that jeopardizes the ability of law enforcement to respond in an emergency.

Torre Diagonal Zero Zero / EMBA
Zoom image
View original size
The position of Diagonal ZeroZero Tower is exceptional: it is located at the origin of Diagonal, Barcelona's main avenue; it is very visible from the city and from the coast; and it lays on the border between the consolidated city and the large expanses of public space in the Forum area. Its immediate surroundings consist of isolated buildings in a diverse context of different scales and uses that generate at the same time a metropolitan center and a local neighborhood still in formation. It is a contextual tower that has a double reading, from near and afar, in response to the two scales that such tall buildings must address. Taking the urban directions that form the perimeter of the plot as generators of its form, it is a trapezoidal prism, sharp and stylized, a clean and serene form, whitish and light, which reveals dynamic volumes that respond to the different specificities of the interior program and relate to the various heights of nearby buildings. The exterior responds to the city and the view from afar, and the interior responds to the program and the close-up vision.

CMC Captain America bike as from the 'Easy Rider' film. The original bike has recently been sold for over a million dollars!! Well, here's one of the small run of bikes that were endorsed by Peter Fonda as replicas, built by the California Motorcycle Company, otherwise known as the CMC Captain America.
This bike was built to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the movie. 750 of these bikes were supposed to be made, but in the middle of the production run, CMC picked up the rights to the Indian motorcycle name and decided to adopt the name and try building Indians. Only approximately 110 of the Captain Americas were built before they moved on.
The model we have here is 74 from the production run.
Supplied with Stars and stripes jacket and matching helmet!
