On Friday October 23 St Patrick's Academy's English Faculty hosted their annual Year 8 Coffee Morning and Book Fair.
The event is a great opportunity for parents to come along and meet staff, discuss their child's reading habits and to avail of the English teachers' literacy expertise when purchasing reading materials for their child. The event was organised by Mr Part, the school librarian, who every year plays an instrumental role in supporting the English Faculty with their literacy initiatives. All profits from the book fair good straight into the school library meaning the school can offer students a wider range of books.
The event was very well attended with parents commenting on the relaxed and informal atmosphere. This also provided a second opportunity for parents to meet with staff following the Year 8 Parents Information meeting on September 17.
Many commented on how well their children how settled and adapted to their new school. Events like this coffee morning are central to fostering meaningful relationships between the parents and school to maximise pupil success.
This year St Patrick's was also joined by staff and pupils from Laurelhill, this is part of both schools desire to develop meaningful Shared Education links.
Throughout the morning pupils regaled their parents with their personal accounts of their first eight weeks at the school and entertained the audience with their gruesome Grim Tales. The winners of the Year 8 Grim Tales writing competition were announced, with Gabrielle Quinn in third place, Mia Neill coming second and Ben Thompson in first place. Their tales were terrifyingly good… The book fair coincides nicely with the build up to the annual Book Review Competition which gets underway in mid-November. All Key Stage 3 students must independently review a work of fiction in detail, with exciting prizes to be won.
These are just some of the ongoing initiatives running throughout the year to help develop the pupils' literacy skills. Other events scheduled include a writing workshop with local artist and Ulster University lecturer, Bruce Ingman, will be working with our students in developing an illustrated picture book from now until Christmas. This project is designed to use various approaches to re-ignite a spark for reading among teenagers who may be beginning to lose interest in books. There will also be cinema visits to view and then review: "The Scorch Trials" the second novel in the hugely successful "Maze Runner" trilogy, "Pan" a prequel to "Peter Pan" and a screening of "Bill" based on Shakespeare's life.
Mrs McCann, Head of English, commented: "Developing the pupils' literacy skills is key to them accessing all aspects of the curriculum. Within the school we are constantly striving to raise their literacy levels in enjoyable, engaging and empowering ways. This event is the first of many scheduled for the year and we are delighted that it was such a pleasure for the pupils and their parents."

With drastically improved phosphorus retention and application rates at only 4 ounces per acre, Aqua-Yield introduces NanoPhos, now available for a worldwide release. Established research and development results indicate what farmers have been waiting for and wanting for years; NanoPhos maximizes crops' responses to phosphorus utilized in root, flower and general growth. It improves soil structure and organic matter, and is a critical ingredient in soil microbe populations' health.
"Aqua-Yield is taking a huge step with the release of NanoPhos," says Clark Bell, CEO and Aqua-Yield co-founder "Why? Because we simply have to become a more efficient nation in how we apply phosphates to our crops. Today's application methods for phosphorus make it the most wasted crop nutrient in use. We were absolutely committed to creating a better and more ecological way to apply this necessary nutrient. Our 2.5-gallon product containers easily care for 80 acres and therefore immediately take center stage as one of the most environmentally friendly phosphorus applications ever offered."
Laboratory, clinical and practical research clearly indicate that NanoPhos enhances energy maintenance in crops and helps them better respond to changes in the environment. NanoPhos also increases plant tillers and enhances seedling, spring and young tissue growth rates. The product also improves macro- and micronutrient uptake, improves crops' stress tolerance, yield and quality of crop, and root growth.
"NanoPhos leverages a unique nanotechnology that was designed specifically to penetrate plant leaf and root cells," says Aqua-Yield chief science officer Landon Bunderson. "Liquid fertilizers are widely used to provide highly available and immediate nutrition to crops. While this strategy does improve crop nutrient status, it is often inefficient and wasteful. NanoPhos delivers phosphorus faster and more efficiently through root and shoot tissue, giving growers the benefits of liquid nutrition without the common drawbacks."
"Aqua-Yield's years of research and development, coupled with our proven methods of instantaneous absorption of nutrients throughout the plant, allows for all traditional methods in applying NanoPhos; Foliar spray, pivot injection, drip irrigation, and even airplane," says Bell. "With NanoPhos, farmers will spend less, use less, drastically cut down on waste, and immediately improve overall quality and yields. NanoPhos is a win-win for the farmers and the environment, and Aqua-Yield is proud to offer this incredible product."
Aqua-Yield is a rapidly growing sustainable fertilizer technology company. Co-founded in 2014, Aqua-Yield has introduced what it calls the "smallest innovation in agricultural history." Aqua-Yield's technologies deliver materials directly to the plant's cells, leading to a much higher overall efficiency. Aqua-Yield's process introduces liquid nanotechnology to agriculture, leading to significant advantages for the grower.

Five seems to be the key number for the 2013 Jersey Shore Men's Conference. For five years, First Baptist Church of Red Bank has sponsored the conference. And this year, it is on Saturday, October 5, starting at 8:30 a.m. at the church, 84 Maple Avenue in Red Bank. Past conferences have offered top quality speakers exchanging thoughts with men about where they are in life and where they want to be.
This year, Dr. Scott Hoffman, former CEO of Ocean Grove and now in Ashville, NC working with the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, returns to discuss "Hope for Men." This is a multi-dimensional, age spanning, non-denominational gathering, and he will be supported by these five breakout leaders:
Pastor Lyddale Akins – Triumphant Life Church, Pastor Paul Brown – First Pentecostal Church, Pastor Joe Gratzel – First Baptist Church of Manasquan, Pastor Mike Miller – New Monmouth Baptist Church, and Pastor Jason Tucker – First Presbyterian Church of Red Bank (Tower Hill). Each will have thoughts fine-tuned into where we are in our lives.
If you have attended one or more of the past conferences, you already know this is another "don't miss" event. You can find a lot more about this year's conference on the webpage www.jerseyshoremensconf.com, including more background on Dr. Scott's intriguing message and the breakout leaders' challenging topics.

|West Nile Virus
Oct 9, 2000
I live in Washington DC where they have just detected the West Nile Virus. I'm not seeing anything about this issue on any of the HIV internet resources. I have about 700 T cells, but have been positive for over 10 years. Are there precautions I should be taking? Who really are the people at risk (do I not really have something to worry about with a relatively healthy immune system?)? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Response from Dr. Feinberg
West Nile virus seems to target older people. There are no data to suggest that people with HIV are more susceptible to West Nile. If you are concerned, you can use insect repellant on exposed areas you go out, esp. at dawn and dusk, and can wear long sleeves and long pants to minimize exposed areas.

My copy of Sankar's Chowringhee was bought in Calcutta airport a couple of years ago. I picked it up not because I knew anything about it but because I was looking for a Bengali novel in English and it was visibly available.
I read the book on the flight back…and I finished it later. It's a complex tale of various characters and emotions set in a hotel, told through the eyes of a hotel clerk. While I enjoyed the book and would say it's good, I would not attempt a review. It's a complex book, as I already said, and I had read it only once. A braver soul reviewed the book in Hindu in 2007 here.
I had read somewhere that this book is generally compared to Arthur Hailey's The Hotel. I haven't read The Hotel, so can't say any thing more on that. As an aside, while Hailey fans talk about Money Changers and Airport, I personally think his Detective is a very good piece of crime fiction.
Any way, chowringhee was written in 1962 and was translated in to English in 2007. It has been nominated for The Independent Foreign Fiction Prize for 2010 – the first time that an Indian work has accomplished the feat. "Results" are expected on May 13th. What struck me most was this line from the article in The Hindu :
Asked why the English translation came more than 40 years after it was first written, the author candidly remarked, "I suppose it was my middle class Bengali arrogance — why should I take my work to the world, the world should come to me."
I love straight talk, especially the self-deprecating kind. I also love it when one of the books I have read and appreciated gets recognized. For your information, I had read Slumdog Millionaire in its original avatar as 'Q&A'…I am a discerning reader, you know! By the way, Vikas Swarup's next book, The Six Suspects, plain sucks!

Outdoor Home Maintenance
In our previous blog we discussed how to prepare your roof and gutters for the spring season. Preparing the rest of your home is just as necessary and we would like to remind you of a few things to help you with the process.
In a humid area like south florida, algae and mildew frequently grow on siding. You can clean your vinyl, brick, stucco, or wood siding with mild soap and water. To do this you can use a brush and a garden hose with a spray nozzle. A pressure washer is not recommended in this do it yourself situation. Using a pressure washer can allow water to rush underneath the siding. This water then leads to walls and insulation which also causes mold growth. If you have this process professionally done, it could range anywhere from $300- $500.
In our hot state, you need your AC to work as efficiently as possible. It is important make sure that your AC compressor is free of any plant growth. Spring is a perfect time to get rid of all and anything surrounding this area.
Another important thing to do during this time is to check weather seals around windows and doors. Over time caulk can harden or crack so it is important to repair or replace them as needed. This will help keep the cost of your electric bill lower and can prevent water from leaking into your home as well.
While checking window areas you may also want to clean and repair screens. If you are trying to reduce your electric bill, this is a plus as well. By making sure these are functional, you can keep your windows open this season and use less air conditioning.
Always make sure that you keep up with your home maintenance and enjoy the wonderful season. Thank you for reading!

Attic Ventilation
With Spring approaching and then Summer soon after, our Florida sunshine will be once again hot and bright. We love the warm weather too! However, it can cause energy costs to be higher and cause your roof to take on extreme heat. Let us give you some information on how to keep your costs lower and protect your roof by ventilating your attic.
Most practices that keep your roof cool tend to focus on roofing materials themselves. Attic ventilation is just as important. When your roof is under the hot summer sun, it takes a lot more energy to maintain a cooler home which will cause you to pay more than you should for your electricity bill. By ventilating your attic, this will release most of the heat and put less strain on your A/C. Another great side to Attic Ventilation is that your roofing underlayment is not taking on the excessive heat. Such heat can eventually wear down your underlayment, leaving you with severe roof leaks.

The Pros and Cons of Metal Roofs
The roofs of our homes are vital for our living. They must be long lasting and durable. There are many options to choose from. However, the most sustainable option would be Metal.
Metal roofs can last 40 to 70 years outlasting any other type of roof! Below you will find some pros and cons of a Metal Roof:
- Durability
- Can sustain winds of up to 140 miles per hour.
- Will not corrode or crack
- Can be impact resistant (depending on which metal is chosen)
- No periodic maintenance
- Safety
- Will not ignite during wildfire or lightning strike
- Energy Efficient
- Reflect solar radiant heat, which can reduce cooling costs by 10% to 25%
- Environmentally Clean
- Metal roofs are 100% recyclable at the end of their life as a roof and contain 25% to 95% recycled content depending on the material used.
- Warranties
- Metal roofs include long lasting warranties of up to 50 years.
- Affordability
- Noise
- These roofs can be a bit noisy but this problem can be solved by adding extra insulation.
- Expansion and Contraction
- As it warms and cools, the metal expands and contracts causing a wavy effect on hot days.

Temporary repairs are just… temporary!
We depend heavily on our roofs to protect our homes and everything inside of it, including our families.
However, let's be honest for a minute. Roof repairs can be expensive and they often happen at the most inconvenient time. Let's pretend it is Thanksgiving Day and a huge rain storm just blew in from the Atlantic. You've got all your distant cousins coming over, but your roof just started leaking on the dining room table! WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?? You can't ignore it!
First of all, you should call your roofing contractor. Chances are, they will come out for a premium rate. If that solution isn't in your budget, then let us educate you on a simple and affordable TEMPORARY solution. Here is some information on what to do in this situation until a roofer can repair your roof properly:
For temporary leak blockage a plastic tarp can be used. No, they are not pretty, but tarps are very tough when secured properly. Use the holes along the edge to secure the tarp along your roof. Cover an area slightly larger than where you see the leak because most of the time the leak has traveled from another area than where it is actually protruding. Threading rope through the holes on the tarp and securing them to something solid should keep the tarp from moving. Sometimes bricks are used to hold down tarps. However, this should not be done since bricks and heavy objects can fall off of the roof easily and can be a danger to anyone standing below.
Sometimes we are faced with issues that cannot be fixed right away, which cause a need for temporary repairs. That, of course, is the key: temporary repairs are just temporary. Leaks should always be followed up with permanent repairs in which you remove the existing material all the way down to the underlayment of your roof. Your roofing contractor should replace all layers of your system to ensure that your roof is weather-proof and also to prevent further damage.

10 Things They Should Add to GTA6
GTA Spin-Off Ideas!
Which GTA Spin-Off Idea Appeals to You Best?
Mystery Unravelled, What GTA6 Could Have to Offer
GTA 6 is the next GTA game in line for production by Rockstar Games. GTA has come a long way since the dawn of of GTA 3, their first game released for the PS2. GTA is an open world game set in modern time America. GTA has seen numerous releases since GTA 3, including spin-offs like GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas, GTA Liberty City, and also more mainstream titles with the likes of GTA 4 and GTA 5.
One would hope that they would bring out more spin-offs for the franchise, perhaps going in a different worldly direction, such as setting the game in another part of the world away from America, like in London, England, where they could base the game around a London crime syndicate with the lead character starting out in the lower ranks for a crime organisation, and then work him up to become the leader for the organisation.
This, among many other ideas could be the spin-off that audiences would so desire to take the GTA franchise into a fresh direction.
Which spin-off would be most appealing to yourself?
No.1 - A Fully Travelled World
In GTA 6 it has already been announced in early discussions for the production of the game that the makers would like to create a world where you can travel to all perimeters of the U.S.A., making it their most expansive game in creation so far. However, these are only rumours as they are keeping the game in extreme secrecy for what it will obtain in terms of design, features and storyline plots.
No.2 - Accessible Buildings
For the most part of the GTA games running right up until GTA 5 we have only been able to access certain buildings, and they could make it a thing where there is access to a lot of buildings instead of a standard few plotted throughout the open world map environment.
A point to add to this would also be that they could put entire buildings up for sale, and once purchased can be completely accessible to characters on the map.
No.3 - Another Part to the World that Can Only be Accessed Through Plane Tarvel
To make the world even more expansive and enjoyable for playing they could offer up another part to the GTA world that can only be travelled to by plane. Such as the idea where the characters can travel to London on business, and from here they could provide a spin-off story for the characters in a DLC pack that creates an even bigger world to play.
No.4 - A Crime Organisation Structure
Similar to that of Saints Row (the games) GTA 6 could enable players to start up their own crime organisation, hiring hitmen, heavies and bodyguards to do dirty work for them over the course of the story and free play.
As a part of this, in GTA 6 players could also purchase entire buildings to front as places where they run their operations, from warehouses storing drugs and weapons, to penthouse suites where their heavies sleep.
No.5 - DLC Packs Dedicated to World Expansion
This could be done further down the line after the games initial release, as they could offer up other areas to the world (globally) where players can carry out separate story missions on other continents around the globe.
Potentially taking on the Chinese Triads, Russian mafia and London crime organisations.
No.6 - First-Person Gameplay Option
In GTA 6 to make the game even more immersive they could offer up a first-person gameplay style in addition to the third-person set-up, enabling players to see their weapons from a first-person stand point.
This would also be a fascinating set-up as players can then drive cars in first-person and see the GTA world from a whole new on look. Also brilliant for if players have a steering wheel controller as this would be fun for when driving cars in the story and free-play environment.
No.7 - Business Ownership Control
There could also be the option within the game to purchase legitimately run businesses in the cities, such as through the business ownership of salons, hairdressers, car dealerships, real estate empires, and many, many other businesses.
No.8 - Realistic Mode
In the game there could also be a realistic mode that you can turn on which means that players have to stick to the set speed limit on the roads, drive on the right side of the road, and also treat podestrians without violence otherwise the local police enforcement will be notified.
No.9 - Strongholds
Once again, taking a look at game competition with the likes of Saints Row, there could be strongholds all over the open world run by the Russian mafia and Chinese Triads that could be taken over through sheer force. Expanding the players scope of operation with their own crime syndicate.
No.10 - Citywide Control
In certain parts of the GTA world there could be citywide control from different crime organisations which means that there would be quick trouble if the player was to set foot on their territory and get noticed.
This could be a fun way of entering into a world takeover operation for the players own crime organisation. Starting out working for a crime organisation doing jobs for them, and then later on working their way up the crime organisation ladder to eventually own their own slice of the GTA world.
GTA 6 - Best Idea

Happy Saturday! Yippee! It is the week-end! What do you have planned for your-selves? My son has a small little do at the Nautical Center at 11am. He has passed another level in his sailing courses and will be getting his certificate! Then we are going into Montreal to see the Narnia Exhibit. I can't wait. That series of books was my favorite when I was growing up and I have read the whole lot to my kids. In fact I am starting up again (round 2) with my last son. We loved the two movies that came out and I can't wait for the next one! After that we plan to go to a wonderful outdoor market and buy yummy fresh produce! They have so much there and the kids love to visit too!
Today I have my card for this week's Sketch Saturday to show you and I want to welcome the three new members to our team! All very talented ladies and a wonderful addition to our team! Please head over to see who they are AND droll over all the DT's creations!
I used one of the Magnolia images from their 2010 Summer kit and paired it up with some of their yummy paper. The anchor charms have been in my stash for awhile so I can't tell you where I got them. I was just happy that I had a pair of them! LOL! They are tied with some linen thread from SU! The sentiment is from a Paptertrey set: Out on a Limb.
I hope you can join in the Sketch Saturday challenge this week. As you can see, the sketch is fabulous and so is our wonderful regular sponsor this week:
Thanks again for stopping by! Have a great day!

Vocabulary for GRE – A Detailed Approach
What is the best way to study Vocabulary for GRE ?
If there is ONE question for which GRE test takers wish they knew the answer, it would be this.
In this blog, we will see the biggest mistake GRE test-takers commit while studying for the test. We will also show you some great ways (and resources) to study vocabulary for GRE.
Before we go any further, let's address the elephant in the room!
Is GRE Vocabulary all about mugging up words?
A huge misconception that students have about preparing for GRE Vocabulary is that it is all about mugging up words. After all, it took some creativity by someone at the UP ministry of tourism to approve this ad on twitter:
However, if you think the GRE Vocabulary is just about mugging up words and throwing them together to form a sentence, you could not be more wrong!
As part of a graduate program – a Master's or an MBA – you are required to not only read a lot of journals and books but also to write lengthy theses and project reports. You need to be clear, crisp, and concise in the words you choose. Hence, it is important that you understand words in proper context.
If you think the vocabulary for GRE is just about mugging up words and throwing them together to form a sentence, you could not be more wrong!
For example:
What is the difference between
"John is firm"
"John is obstinate"
The first sentence is a positive statement about John while the second sentence is negative. The meaning could be similar but there is a huge difference in the tone. This is the stuff that the GRE expects you to know, and differentiate while reading or writing English.
Expertise in Verbal Reasoning becomes very important when your next work gets published in a scientific journal – ready to be scrutinized by PhD holders who have spent more time reading books than you have spent binge-watching "Game of Thrones"!
We have written about GRE Verbal strategies for Indians, and the importance of context in GRE Verbal.
The meaning could be similar but there is a huge difference in the tone. This is the stuff that the GRE expects you to know, and differentiate while reading or writing English.
This brings us to the next elephant (or wait, is it a hippo?) in the room:
What is wrong with preparing from GRE word lists?
We have had students who sometimes come to us and say "I've learnt words until "P"!
There are two sections on the GRE that test you on words and their meanings, Sentence Equivalence (SE) and Text Completion (TC). Both these sections test you on the nuances in meaning; a word can have the same functional meaning but different connotations. Let's look at an example to better understand this statement:
This is the definition of Transcended according to Wordweb :
"Be greater in scope or size than some standard"
Does it make any sense to you? Not to me!
However, let us see how the same word in context:
"Dante embodied all the learning and thought of his age and transcended them: he went far ahead of all his predecessors, contemporaries, and successors."
Dante went over and beyond what his contemporaries were doing so he was greater than the "standard".
Does it make sense now?
So the point is: Context matters!
There are two sections on the GRE that test you on words and their meanings, Sentence Equivalence (SE) and Text Completion (TC). Both sections test you on the nuances in meaning.
And most students DON'T learn context; they only bother about the definition. On the day of the test, a student will recognize the words but will not be able to take a call because the student is unsure of the contextual use of the words.
Even if you know more than 3000 words, on the GRE, you WILL see a word you've never seen before. The key is not to become too dependent on REMEMBERING words but to know exactly WHY you are building vocabulary – to be able to take a call while answering the Vocab intensive questions. We'll see how to develop an approach by which we can do that even if you aren't sure of one or two.
Even if you know more than 3000 words, on the GRE, you WILL see a word you've never seen before.
Here are three reasons why studying for the GRE using word lists is a bad idea:
1.Words are presented in Alphabetical order: lack of any pattern
2.Superficial information about the word's meaning: half knowledge
3.Lack of Context: Connotation, Register and Degree of Effect
How to build your GRE vocabulary in a short span of time?
In an ideal world, you should be building your vocabulary through years of exposure to good quality reading such as The Economist, and The New York Times. Vocabulary building needs to be deep and meaningful. Spending a couple of weeks with a wordlist and cramming words is NOT going to help.
However, this is not an ideal world, and you are probably worried because you have not done so.
You realize it is too late. You just need a band-aid that will get you a good GRE verbal score.
In an ideal world, you should be building your vocabulary through years of exposure to good quality reading…
Here is the good news!
Though reading books and newspaper articles, watching movies, and engaging in conversations in everyday life will give you proper context to use words, and is the most effective method of learning, trying that method at this point has pitfalls, which are:
1. "It takes like forever!". We have just a few months (and in some cases just a few weeks) to prepare for the GRE, and surely, this is not the time to change your "behavior".
2. Do we really read and watch such enriching content? Let's be honest: the kind of words you see on the GRE may not be the ones you come across in everyday life. This is sort of an inside joke: Recondite, Esoteric and Arcane all mean – not found or seen in everyday context!
So how do we make it easier to learn new words?
For that, you have to "trick" your brain. Yes! Here are some ways in which you can build your vocabulary for the GRE, and make it fun while you are doing so. The idea is to make studying of words as interesting as possible.This is because your brain craves novelty.
Your brain doesn't bother saving boring things; they never make it past the "this is obviously not important" filter.
Let's be honest: the kind of words you see on the GRE may not be the ones you come across in everyday life. This is sort of an inside joke: Recondite, Esoteric and Arcane all mean – not found or seen in everyday context!
This brings us to the next important aspect of learning for the Vocabulary for GRE section,
How to make learning GRE Vocabulary fun?
Here are some great vocab building techniques:
1. Learn GRE words with pictures
The dictionary definition of the word "mnemonics" is "the study and development of systems for improving and assisting the memory".
The basic premise behind using mnemonics is that if you can get as many senses involved in the learning process, the easier it is for your brain to remember.
For learning Vocabulary for GRE, we would employ visual and phonetic mnemonics.
The basic premise behind using mnemonics is that – if you can get as many senses involved in the learning process, the easier it is for your brain to remember.
Here is how to learn GRE words using pictures and a video on how to use CV Flashcards which you can buy from Amazon.
2. Learn Vocabulary for GRE through Word Roots
The more we know about a particular word, its origin, and the various ways in which it's used, the better we will be able to remember it
You can know about the etymology of words on the GRE through this video:
You may also read this blog:
Building Vocabulary for GRE through Etymology
Do you know the fancy sounding "Mulligatawny soup" is nothing but mullagu (pepper) thanni (water) aka Rasam in India?
Learn about some more interesting words through the roots from where they originate. You may encounter these words on the GRE:

Learn GRE Words through Greek mythology
3. Learn Theme based GRE Words
What if I were to ask you to name 30 friends?
Even for the most gregarious people, this can be a hard task! Here's a trick:
Think of 10 friends from college.
Now, think of 10 school friends.
Now, think of 10 friends from your neighborhood.
It's a lot easier to group people with similar backgrounds. This is the same logic behind learning theme based words on the GRE.
However, there are a few things you need to be careful about while learning words in a group. There is a danger that you might end up thinking that ALL the words have the same meaning.
For example,
Audacious could mean either willing to take bold risks OR it could mean lack of respect. So, although it is replaceable by Brave in most cases, you need to be careful.
Here is a great blog on how to use "inclines" to know the subtle differences between such words:
Building Vocabulary for GRE through Inclines
Another problem GRE aspirants often face is confusing words that are similar sounding but mean totally different things. I hope you agree, in principal principle.
Here is a blog to clear the confusion:
Confusing Words and How to avoid them in Vocabulary for GRE
I hope you found this blog useful.
Please spread its value by sharing the blog on your social media channels, and letting your friends know about it.
Also, I would love to know if you have any questions about Vocabulary for GRE, so go ahead, and let me know in the Comments section.
That's all folks!

The Legacy is a Danish drama from DR Fiktion, but quite a different beast to stable-mates The Killing and Borgen. Series 1 was described by The Guardian as "utterly addictive" and I'm pleased to report that while the characters have grown and changed, this remains true.
Instead of dark political intrigue or dark and bloody murders in grey dockyards The Legacy offers up an enormous rambling farm-house in rural Denmark and an off-kilter family drama. This series spins out from the death of artist and domineering matriarch Veronika Gronnegaard and the after effects on her children. The Legacy in Danish is Arvingerne which literally translates as "heirs". As these kids squabble over Veronika's house, her reputation and her art we can see why Sky Arts picked it up rather than Sky Atlantic, the more traditional home for drama.
In series 1 we were rooting for Signe, Veronika's fourth child adopted and brought up by normal down-to-earth people. She's the surprise beneficiary of Veronika's deathbed will and we're willing her to get her share of the inheritance from her argumentative, entitled and just plain rude step-siblings. Lovely Signe learns her secret family history and is excited, but not about the money. She's lonely and wants to be their sister. But this simple story of trying to be a blended family quickly gets messed up. Money changes people. Signe started believing her own hype.
Clearly it's not healthy to be around people like older sister Gro – obsessed by her successful career as a curator to the point of forging her late mother's work, bitter brother Frederik – seething with anger at the world, obsessed with getting hold of the sprawling family home, and dealing with significant marital problems, and youngster Emil – a useless wastrel, up until recently in a Thai prison on drug charges, now a free man having an affair with Solveig who happens to be his brother's wife. If this doesn't make an ounce of sense on first reading don't worry about it. This is quite possibly tv's most dysfunctional family. Eastenders has nothing on these guys.
But stick with it. The Legacy is a high quality drama where you really feel you get to know each character – they're all flawed, all desperately human. We develop an intimate understanding because these characters feel quite real, to the point of dropping them into conversation with people who aren't even watching the show.
Series 3 opens three years after the events of Series 2. Frederick and Solveig are divorced. Baby Melody is with the family, not with her mother (I can't even go into her parentage, she's a sort of step-sister/niece… it's just too difficult). She's being admirably cared for by doting Emil. Signe is up to her wrists in farming, delivering baby piglets while her forgettable floppy-haired other half Aksel (is he the farming apprentice from Series 2?) worries about how they can't have children. Signe is a do-er so doesn't sit around feeling sorry for herself – she's out working out how to raise organic pork with her slightly batty mentor Karin who lectures her on the achievements of childless women.
Speaking of The Legacy's children, unsurprisingly, given what her family put her through, Solveig and Frederick's daughter Hannah is now an artist, carrying on her grandmother's reputation with her right-on collective of annoying teenage wunderkinds. She's supported by Gro, of course. Gro seems to enjoy being one step removed from the chaos that surrounds artists – she's never happier than managing her fabulous career off the back of the art made around her.
Hearteningly in the opening episodes these messed up people are finding a purpose and getting along. There's a rare glimpse of harmony and a chance for the characters to take a breath. So enter stage right Frederick, rocking up uninvited to his daughter's exhibition opening. He's bound to screw up all this good feeling as the family, who were busy climbing the ladders, trip over the snakes and go back to square one. Poor Emil the peacemaker, with Gro dishing out orders to him, Frederick trying desperately to prove he's not fucked up, and the rest of the characters despairing of them all.
Who manages to get chavs and a dog fight at an art exhibition? Of course, it's all part of Hannah's edgy act – a planned brawl, drama for the sake of art whereas The Legacy siblings usually provide it for free. The scene in the gallery is heavy with menace; dramatic lighting, a sense of panic and confusion, and Hannah saying goodbye to everyone, but blanking her poor Dad. Will she be ok up in Greenland with her sketchy civil disobedience team and slightly daft boyfriend Malik? No watercolours of haywains for these guys – they're very adventurous artists, not afraid to get frostbite or even arrested for their art. We see again the uncomfortable relationship between business and art, and the promises that Gro has to make to get financial backing. Gro is essential in providing support to these kids but is frozen out of their dangerous plans. She's only pretending to be in control for appearance's sake. Nothing good will come of this.
The Legacy balances out the dark moments with warm patches of light. We see Emil having much more success with the under-fours than the teenage art collective. He's a fantastic party planner stepping effortlessly into his hippie father's shoes and using the house and grounds in a way Thomas would have thoroughly approved of. Who has trolls, foxes, and elaborate treasure hunts at a birthday the tiny child probably won't even remember? That's better than jelly and ice cream, and pin the tail on the donkey. Emil is also popular with the hot young Mums – good for him. He deserves a bit of warmth and stability for a change.
It's tricky to know who to root for and who to dislike the most because these characters are so well drawn. There's excellent acting from the whole cast especially Trine Dyrholm aka the Dutch Helen Mirren as Gro, and Carsten Bjørnlund as Frederick, who is always wound so tense and just about to flip his lid. I also love his confused and long-suffering wife Solveig – Lene Maria Christensen seems to turn up in a lot of Danish tv I like, looking sweet and motherly with a steely strength deep inside.
It looks like series 3 will be our last visit to House Grønnegaard and our last opportunity to figure out the deep mystery at the heart of The Legacy. Does Frederick really listen to Rammstein? His family home had an enormous poster of the German industrial metal band displayed prominently in the dining room. If he loves metal how can he possibly be so angry all the time? Maybe he needs mindfulness and Smooth Radio instead of a moshpit to release the tensions.
The Legacy is just finishing on Sky Arts and episodes are available on their catch-up services if you want to try before you buy.
THE LEGACY SEASON 3 is released on DVD & BLU-RAY Box Set on Monday 8th May by Nordic Noir & Beyond.

Razer Phone: big, loud, and super-smooth
The company that made its name manufacturing powerful gaming accessories and the acclaimed Razer Blade range of gaming laptops didn't disappoint when it came to presenting the Razer Phone, with mobile gamers firmly in mind.
The Razer Phone's only available configuration packs in 8 GB of RAM alongside 64 GB storage and the (now no longer top-of-the-range) Snapdragon 835 chipset. All this with seriously powerful speakers in the side bezels for an immersive sound. But the real star of the show is the 5.7-inch display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The GPU can be synced to this refresh rate for lag-free, silky smooth frame rates on even the most demanding games, and is especially helpful on action titles where a split-second reaction can make the different between victory and defeat.
Another benefit is Razer's Game Booster, where you can control various settings related to gaming, like adjusting the resolution, frame rate and processing power. If you're someone with a ton of games on your phone, some requiring more power than others, this is great for making sure your phone handles them efficiently. You can even toggle anti-aliasing and disable notifications while a game is running so that you're not disturbed.
iPhone X: when you want to be first in the game
In contrast to the previous entry, iPhones don't exactly scream 'gamer' in appearance or marketing, but there's a definite advantage to them for gamers. With iOS, Apple keeps a well-trimmed walled garden across the iPhone range which makes it easier for app developers to develop a game for iOS than for Android, which suffers from fragmented distribution and a staggering variety of hardware configurations.
The result? High-end games often debut on the App Store much sooner than on Google's Play Store. iPhone owners have been playing Fortnite on their phones for months while Android gamers are still waiting. Same goes for upcoming titles such as Life is Strange or Alto's Odyssey. While I still prefer the greater choice and control of Android, I've cast an envious eye over to iPhone owners more than once for this reason. Apple's careful curation of the App Store also guarantees good optimization and performance for your hardware.
Naturally, the obvious choice is the iPhone X, Apple's top model of the moment, but the iPhone 8 Plus is also a good choice for iOS gamers who prefer a more classic look.
Xiaomi Black Shark: a dedicated handheld gaming device
The Xiaomi Black Shark is a gaming-focused smartphone and not shy about it, with an aggressive angular look, black with bright highlights. But it's not all show. Inside the Black Shark, we find an array of hardware powerful enough to handle any modern game with ease: an octacore CPU, 8 GB RAM and the Adreno 630 GPU. Naturally, there's also a specialized cooling system.
Another striking feature is the dedicated Shark button. When you press it, your phone switches to maximum performance and and opens a gaming environment in landscape mode. From here you can manage your games and configure the snap-on gamepad.
Samsung Galaxy S9/S9+: Game Mode and Gear VR
The Galaxy S9 and its more powerful sibling, the S9+ may be the best Android smartphone on the market, and that still counts for gaming performance. Samsung's dedicated Game Mode, which is comprised of Game Launcher and Game Tools, shows the special care Samsung has taken to accommodate mobile gamers. The Game Launcher is home to all your games, while Game Tools changes the screen mode to accommodate games that don't support the unique 18.5:9 aspect ratio, among other things. All of this ensures that your experience is immersive, by disabling notifications and the invisible home button to allow for uninterrupted game play, for example.
The impressive hardware also allows for a smooth, engaging experience. The curved, 5.8-inch AMOLED Infinity Display of the Galaxy S9 (6.2 inches on the S9+) has a 18.5:9 aspect ratio with a 1,440 x 2,960 resolution for a great visual experience. All that screen real estate is held in a thin, ergonomic body and powered by a 3,000 mAh battery. The Galaxy S8 features the top of the line Snapdragon 845 processor with an Adreno 630 GPU and 4 GB of RAM (6GB in the S9+).
It should also be mentioned that fans of VR mobile games have an additional benefit when it comes to choosing Samsung: the Gear VR is the best smartphone-compatible VR headset out there, and with it you can enjoy fantastic immersive VR games such as Endspace.
OnePlus 6: the flagship killer with more than enough RAM
The OnePlus 6 is no slouch when it comes to gaming, thanks to its top specs including 6 to 8 GB of RAM. This gives it incredible gaming performance which is complemented by the Gaming Mode, which suppresses accidental presses of the keys and notifications, can route incoming calls to speaker, save battery and other useful tweaks to ensure you are not disturbed while playing. The 6.3-inch Full HD display is powered by a 3,300 mAh battery which can stand up to the most demanding games without overheating.
Moto Gamepad: a budget console in a snap for the Moto Z2 Play
The Moto Gamepad will attach to any smartphone in the Moto Z family, giving you two control sticks, a D-pad and four "tactile action buttons". It resembles the Nintendo Switch. Since the Mod attaches to the device directly, there won't be any lag from wireless connections and Motorola says it will last up to 8 hours thanks to its 1,035 mAh battery. So, if you're thinking of investing in a smartphone that will provide a good gaming experience, in addition to other possibilities offered by Mods, you may want to consider a Moto Z device like the Moto Z2 Force, or the Moto Z2 Play which is a great budget option.
Sony Remote Play: play your PS4 from your Xperia phone
If you own a PlayStation 4, you can play it using some Xperia devices thanks to Sony Remote Play. It allows you to use your home Wi-Fi connection to stream to your phone or tablet and play using a connected Dualshock 4 controller. To get the most from the experience, you'll want a Game Control Mount, which attaches your phone to the top of the controller. The newest of the compatible Xperia devices is the Xperia XZ2, which has a 5.7-inch display, a Snapdragon 845 chipset and 4 GB of RAM.
There are plenty of other great phones (and accessories) for gaming on the go, and even more powerful gaming devices are arriving on the horizon, such as the upcoming Asus ROG Phone. If you're not running the most graphically demanding games, however, even mid-range devices should be able to handle most of what's new on the Play Store.
Which games do you enjoy most on mobile? Are there any phones you'd recommend for gamers? Share your thoughts with everyone in the comments.
We are very happy for your visiting to this web page Best smartphones for gamers 2018. We hope the contents of this article can give more information to you.

And hold on cause there's good for those who love God
Life is not a snapshot
It might take a little time but you'll see the bigger picture.
Josh Wilson, Before the morning
A brief explanation to why I posted the lines in the lyrics of this song I love.Life is not a snapshot. There are moments in life when you feel, if anyone took a snapshot of what I'm going through right now, it would look really awful! Really.I can't really complain. What I "suffered" today was notWe're halfway through our dream vacation in Uruguay, a really amazing country not far from Argentina. We were invited by my mum and dad-in law, who rented a house for the summer. On the day we were leaving, my son had diarrhea. We got some meds to stop it (our trip was more than one day long, so we basically had no choice) and gave them
persecution, torture, famine, a terminal disease or any of the serious afflictions a Christian may face. My tribulation was more annoying than anything else. But it was a real test (and stretch) on my patience muscles.
And only God knows how to stretch those, to the point where we're just ABOUT TO suffer a mental breakdown including a serious fit of rage in public... God took me to the very limit of that... and then let go before I really made a fool of myself.
to him. Too effective: three days later, no poop.First night at a hotel on the way, uneventful. Second day, we arrive at our destination, son with very high fever. We call travel assistance, they give us an address. We had to wait quite a bit, but everything basically ran smoothly.Thing is, four days and Ibuprofen-three-times-a-day later, our son still had fever, had cold symptoms, and his eyes looked irritated. Another travel assistance call. Hospital crammed with people (11 children before mine) and only two pediatricians available. Two hours later, a doctor sees little Samuel. That part was really wonderful. A great professional. She ordered a couple of tests, we went to the nurse room
and then to the lab, and at the lab we were told we needed an authorization for the tests.Back to reception. Many people waiting. Receptionist calls travel assistance and gets the "Why-are-they-ordering-this- throat-test-if-the-patient-came-to-the-hospital-with-diarrhea?" response... Doctor had to be called and write a complete report on what she saw at her office. Then that report had to be faxed to travel assistance so they would fax the authorization (unbelievable, in times of scanners and email, some businesses in the Third World still use faxes. I thought they were totally obsolete!). The receptionist says, Please sit down and wait. Ok. Carina waits for at least forty minutes and then stands up and asks, What about my authorization? And gets the "Sorry-I-faxed-it-but-then-the-faxing-failed-so-I-had-to- fax-it-again-I'm-waiting-for-their-answer-now -so-you'll-need-to-wait-some-more" response.Imagine being told to wait after waiting four full hours. Spending four hours of your precious and SHORT vacation in a hospital waiting room, knowing full well your child has NOTHING serious and you could just as easily have waited it out having fun somewhere. If my inlaws hadn't insisted and my husband hadn't agreed (he's much more obsessive about Sami's health than me; I take a more relaxed and wait and see approach), there's no way we would have wasted an entire afternoon there.Believe me, it's an absolute miracle I didn't lash out at the unfortunate lady right then. And to me it's an almost sure proof that I've really been born again because, believe me, the OLD Carina would have screamed her guts out...And again, going back to the snapshot metaphor... This is the kind of thing I would have hated to experience before. I still hate it... But my reactions have changed. I've been changed. Self-control was not in my vocabulary before. It is now. And in spite of being internally upset and wanting to relieve my annoyance by screaming, I didn't. I didn't insult the receptionist (or anyone else for that matter). I didn't insult my husband. Ok, I confess I used a couple of expletives regarding the situation. But knowing my fleshly self, it could have been so much worse.And all along I remembered the "All things work together forgood to those who love God" verse, which greatly encouraged me. Because I thought, Hey this little annoyance is conforming me to the image of Christ, and thus increasing the weight of glory in me. How awesome is that? So should I complain about losing one day of vacation when
lots of Christians are losing their lives over their faith?
No way! But oh, it's annoying… Yep, but we need to see the
bigger picture. Or if we can't, trust that this awfully
nerve-wracking experience we're going through somehow
fits into the Plan.I need more patience, so God gives me those patience-stretching experiences. I hope I'll get some time to rest those
muscles a bit after today!

These days it seems as if everyone and their momma wants to start a business.
I personally think that's a great thing.
And quite frankly, nothing lights me up as much as hearing that another millennial has made the brave decision to launch a startup.
Starting a business is by far one of the most amazing, glorifying and eye-opening things that anyone can do.
However, the life of an entrepreneur isn't all glitz and glam.
Rather, it's often filled with confusion, late nights and buckets of coffee (or in my case tea).
I started my journey in business at the grand old age of 22, eager-eyed and buzzing with ideas. I pretty much leapt into it without much preparation or pre-thought. It's been a remarkable journey but there are some things I wish I'd known before I decided to lean into the world of enterprise.
I've made my fair share of mistakes and some rather crazy decisions but in doing so I learnt a few things. Here are 4 of the things I wish I'd known before starting a business.
#1. The best stories aren't linear.
I'll repeat that for good measure; the best stories aren't linear. Most of the best stories in life don't just describe the happiness that someone feels, instead they take us through the ups, downs, highs and lows that characters face. The best stories usually make us cry before making us laugh or smile and business stories are no different. Whilst it's great to assume that your business journey will be filled with rainbows and pots of gold, the truth is that you're likely to experience at least a few hurdles along the way. Dealing with those hurdles and the many tears that accompany them usually sucks but they also lead you to new found knowledge, wisdom and success.
In the same way that the best stories contain a mix of emotions, highs and lows, laughter and tears, the best business stories do the same.
In fact, it's in the lowest moments that you'll realise what you really want, not just from your business but from life, and you'll make some of the most beautiful decisions in the process.
#2. Comparison is the thief of joy.
When I first started my business career, I found myself bouncing between feeling happy and proud one minute, to feeling like a complete failure the next. Being the sort of person who's obsessed with self-analysis, I decided to take a step back and analyse why my emotions were so rocky. I realised that whenever I focused on my goals I was incredibly happy. However, the minute I'd hear about someone achieving more, I'd feel like a failure. In essence, I'd become so accustomed to comparing my achievements to that of others that I'd lost sight of my own goals and struggled with accepting and embracing my own successes. I soon learnt that the minute you compare yourself to others, you lose your light and your happiness dwindles. In business and in life, we're all different.
Some people achieve things in seconds, others take days or even years. Some people can become instant business rock stars whilst others are local heroes. Rather than comparing ourselves, we need to simply embrace and celebrate where we are on this journey. Why compare apples to oranges? Why not simply embrace our differences and learn to accept that we're all where we're meant to be?
#3. Visualisation rocks.
As a natural daydreamer and creative, I love picturing things. Picturing and visualising is one of the most powerful things that millennials can do. Why? Because visualisation enables you to literally carve out your dreams, picture yourself achieving certain goals and literally make dreams happen. Sadly, most people don't actively visualise and as a result very few people reach their goals.
By visualising what you want and then making plans to achieve these things, you maximise your ability to make both your business and life goals real. Looking back, I wish I'd understood the power of visualisation, but since it's never too late, I'm more than making up for it now.
#4. The 33%.
I was listening to a Ted Talk by Tai Lopez who said that we should spend 33% of our time with those less fortunate and therefore give back, 33% with our friends and peers who have similar goals to us and 33% of our time with those who are extremely successful. His speech was incredibly powerful and made me realise the fact that where we spend our time pretty much dictates how successful we'll become. Isn't that crazy? The simple everyday choices we make can literally dictate the trajectory of our lives.
As a millennial entrepreneur I therefore think it's vital to use time wisely and surround yourself with those in need, those with similar goals and those who've already achieved great things so that you can widen your perspective, learn new things and give back.

Urban Invitational returns to New Orleans Feb. 20-22
The Urban Invitational is going back to the Crescent City.
New Orleans hosted Major League Baseball's annual tournament to bring exposure to historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) for the first time in 2014 and earned an encore. This year will be the eighth edition of the tourney, and it will take place from Feb. 20-22.
The Urban Invitational is going back to the Crescent City.
New Orleans hosted Major League Baseball's annual tournament to bring exposure to historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) for the first time in 2014 and earned an encore. This year will be the eighth edition of the tourney, and it will take place from Feb. 20-22.
Two venues -- the University of New Orleans (UNO) and the Urban Youth Academy at Pontchartrain Park -- will serve as hosts for this year's event. Last year's tourney also staged games at the academy and Zephyr Field in addition to Southern University and Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge.
Southern University will participate in the tournament for the eighth straight season, and it's the only school that can make that claim. This year's tourney will also include Southern's historical rival -- Grambling State University -- for the fourth time. Alcorn State University will take part for the first time, and the University of New Orleans will be back for the second time and first as host.
The tournament, played in a round-robin format, will feature two games each on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The two Saturday games -- Alcorn State vs. Grambling at 2 p.m. CT and UNO vs. Southern (time TBD) -- will both be played at UNO and telecast live on MLB Network and MLB.com.
Hall of Famer Frank Robinson, MLB's senior advisor and the honorary president of the American League, has been intimately involved in MLB's Urban Youth Initiative and will address youngsters at a free field clinic at the Urban Youth Academy on Saturday. Local children from the academy and nearby RBI leagues will receive instruction from the players and coaches involved in the tournament.
And true to the Urban Youth Academy mission, there will also be an educational component. The University of New Orleans will host a college fair on Saturday afternoon, featuring 10 local schools pitching their institution to students. High school and college students from New Orleans, Mississippi and Alabama are all invited to attend the fair free of charge, and they can gather information about college preparation, undergraduate programs and financial aid opportunities.
Sharon Robinson, daughter of famed sports and civil rights icon Jackie Robinson, will also be on hand at the Urban Invitational. Robinson, employed by MLB as an educational consultant, will speak to children about her father's legacy and about the many ways that academic discipline can change their lives.
Robinson will address students in fourth through ninth grade about the Breaking Barriers essay contest, which offers kids a chance to share their personal stories. Each student is tasked with writing how they use lessons gleaned from Jackie Robinson's life in their journey to growth and maturation.
"The Urban Invitational is an extraordinary event that not only highlights the quality of HBCU baseball, but also the character of these young men who participate," said Sharon Robinson as part of an official MLB press release. "As an alumna of an HBCU [Howard University], I am excited to join in the recognition of these wonderful academic institutions in all that they do to shape the leaders of tomorrow."
Saturday's games will also give a stage to inner-city kids who don't play baseball. The band from Landry-Walker High School will play the national anthem prior to the first game, and the band from St. Augustine High School will play it before the second game (tentatively scheduled for 6 p.m.).
MLB has four Urban Youth Academies, one each in Compton, Calif., Houston, New Orleans and Cincinnati. There is a new facility being built in Philadelphia and another one in development in south Florida, and eventually, MLB would like to see one in every big league city.
The academies in Compton and Houston have served as prior hosts of the Urban Invitational, which has experienced great growth over the years. Twenty players from the tourney have gone on to be selected in MLB's First-Year Player Draft, including four who played in last year's tournament. Emmanuel Marrero, an Alabama State alumnus, was taken highest of last year's draftees (seventh round by Philadelphia).
The New Orleans academy, which opened in 2012, is already serving more than 1,300 active members of the community. And it boasts one player -- Tyler Reid from nearby Edna Karr High School -- who could wind up being the academy's first player selected in the First-Year Player Draft.
Southern, traditionally one of the area's local college powers, will play Grambling State on Friday, UNO on Saturday and Alcorn State in Sunday's finale. Alcorn State and Grambling will play against each other on Saturday, and Grambling State will face off against UNO in Sunday's tournament finale.

The Chevrolet Volt is leading the pack of plug-in electric vehicles and has kicked butt on Nissan Leaf sales numbers but the goal for 2012 is to make 35,000 to 40,000 Volts. Through July, General Motors has sold 10,666 Volts in the U.S., which should get the automaker to 19,000 units sold this year. In Europe, through June, GM sold 2,861 Ampera plug-in hybrids, aka the European version of the Volt. The company recently started selling Chevy Volts in the rapidly growing China market where only 18 were sold through June, according to LMC Automotive.
Add up those numbers and we see that about 25,000 to 30,000 Volts/Amperas could be sold worldwide this year. Wait a minute, though, what happened to hitting that 40,000-unit target? And why do we even know that number?

Panasonic Lumix DMC LX1 introduction
Panasonic Lumix DMC LX1 introduction :
Panasonic is launching a new Lumix 16:9 wide LX series with the introduction of the Panasonic Lumix DMC LX1, 8.4 Megapixel 4x optical zoom (equivalent to 28mm to 112mm on a 35mm film camera) full manual compact camera. This creative compact incorporates a 8.4 Megapixel CCD and a high resolution 2.5-inch LCD in its undersized body. The aspect ratio is easily selectable between 16:9 wide, 3:2 and conventional 4:3 with a switch located on the lens barrel to shoot in the framing aspect that best suits the subjects' composition or image's purpose of use. The lens unit is comprised of 4x optical zoom Leica DC VARIO-ELMARIT Lens and renders superb picture quality.
Panasonic DMC LX1 - Mega O.I.S.
Like other Lumix cameras, what distinguishes the Panasonic DMC LX1 from the rest is MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer), a key feature Pana- sonic considers should be standard in all digital still cameras. Unintentional handshake, the major cause of digital camera mis-shooting, is controlled by MEGA O.I.S. to allow every user to take clear, beautiful images even indoors or at nighttime. The newly incorporated Extra Optical Zoom extends the zoom ratio by using the center part of the high resolution CCD to achieve 5x for 5.5-Megapixel 16:9 image recording with minimal deterioration.
Lumix DMC LX1 - 8.4 Megapixel CCD and Leica DC lens
The DMC-LX1 features the 8.4-Megapixel Industry's first (As a CCD of digital still camera, as of July 7, 2005) 16:9 aspect CCD and 4x optical zoom 28mm wide angle (In 16:9 aspect ratio) (equivalent to 28 mm to 112 mm on a 35 mm film camera) LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT lens. Incorporating three aspherical lenses provides high optical performance while preserving the compactness of the unit. The aspect ratio can be easily selected between 16:9 or 3:2 in addition to the conventional 4:3 with a switch on the lens barrel on a shot-by-shot-basis to best suit the composition of the image. Even after shooting, the 16:9 ratio can be converted to 3:2 or 4:3 with the camera according to your purpose of use. The extra optical zoom, made possible by using the center part of 8.4-megapixel high resolution CCD, further extends the zoom ratio to 5x for 5.5-Megapixel image recording in 16:9 aspect with minimal deterioration.
Panasonic Lumix LX1 - Manual controls and High speed
Extensive manual controls including manual focus and manual exposure can be smoothly operated with a joystick incorporated along with an omni directional cursor. Just pressing and holding the joystick shortcuts to a setting menu containing the frequently used white balance adjustment, ISO setting, image size setting and compression format. Taking advantage of these outstanding features, the Panasonic LX1 incorporates the high speed, high quality image processing LSI, the Venus Engine II. It boasts quick responsiveness that realizes the best-in-class level release time lag of 0.01 sec. For the AF, five AF modes are available; 9-point, 3-point high speed, 1-point high speed, 1-point normal speed and spot. The 1-point high speed AF boasts predominantly fast AF for stress-free focusing. In addition, the Panasonic Lumix DMC LX1 is the first digital still camera that can record moving images at 848x480 16:9 Wide VGA, as smooth as 30fps.
Panasonic LX1 - Optical Image Stabilizer
MEGA O.I.S.(Optical Image Stabilizer), that Panasonic thinks it indispensable for all digital cameras, especially for compact models that lacks stability, is subsumed under Lumix all line-up released in this year. Every slight hand-shake movement is detected accurately with the sampling frequency at 4,000 times per second and will be compensated to render clear, sharp images. MEGA O.I.S. is equipped with 2 selectable modes. In "Mode 1", the O.I.S. lens continuously compensates for vibration and in "Mode 2", the O.I.S. lens suppresses hand-shake only at the moment the shutter button is pressed. In this mode, the lens can move in all directions at the moment to maximize its effect, and higher-resolution image can be taken by capturing the image as close as to the center of the lens. In consequence, since MEGA O.I.S. enables a beautiful picture shot without blurring at slower shutter speeds of more than three steps compared to the conventional models without O.I.S., you can enjoy shooting clear and beautiful pictures easily even in the situations using slow shutter speeds, like indoor shots for portraits and nighttime scenery for illuminated object, as well as in shootings using zoom or macro mode. For the brain of the camera, high-speed high-quality image processing LSI Venus Engine II is incorporated to render clear images in detail, compensating for the color aberration at the edges subject to occur. It also compensates for vignetting and generates bright image in every detail. This engine boasts its high performance resulting in the industry leading level in class release time lag of 0.01 sec for achieving more stress-free operation.
Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX1 - Joystick-operated control
The Panasonic DMC LX1 offers manual focus and manual exposure, and both are adjustable with a joystick independent of an omni directional cursor. A switch on the side of the lens barrel lets you quickly change the focus mode between MF, AF or Macro AF. When you focus in the Manual Focus mode, not only the focus distance but also the DOF (depth of field) according to the zoom range and aperture is displayed. An MF assist function enlarges the center of the image to make focusing easier. Both features contribute to easy and comfortable manual focus. A joystick was incorporated to facilitate operational ease and thereby get the best technical advantage of the multitude of functions offered by the camera. You can quickly shortcut to frequently used variables containing white balance adjustment, ISO setting, image size setting and compression format just by pressing and holding down the joystick, even while monitoring a subject on the LCD. Shutter speed extends up to 60 sec at slowest in Manual Exposure mode and adjustable from 1/2000 to 60 sec for wider ranging shooting opportunities. Noise reduction is available for images taken at slow shutter speed. The AF/AE lock button supports free framing while keeping the focus locked or fixes the same exposure setting regardless of the color of a subject for taking multiple shots.
Panasonic LX 1 - 16:9 Wide VGA movie
In addition to the conventional 4:3 VGA moving image recording, the LX1 can record moving images even in the 848x480 16:9 Wide VGA format at 30 fps, making the most of the industry's first 16:9 CCD. Shooting is one thing but viewing is another, and you will be suitably impressed by the 16:9 moving image when it is displayed on a wide screen TV.
Lumix LX1 digital camera - Easier operation
Along with the joy stick and omni-directional cursor, a dial-operated mode shift also improves the camera's controllability. The mode dial allows quick, direct switching between various shooting modes, moving picture mode and playback mode. In addition to the conventional ProgramAE, the Panasonic LX1 is equipped with Auto mode, which caters for the entry level users. A total of 14 scene modes including Baby, Soft Skin, Food, Starry Sky and Candle helps you to take beautiful images easily in wide-ranging situations. Still it is easy to select the one out of them thanks to the Scene Mode Help Screen that shows the description of each mode and the knack for shooting of each scene and helps users to take beautiful image easily. The Panasonic Lumix DMC LX1 is like no other compact camera, enabling both high-end amateurs and entry-level users to explore the creativeness that surely enhances the joy of shooting.
Panasonic Lumix DMC LX1 camera - 2.5-inch LCD monitor
The 2.5-inch large LCD is excellent not only in size but also in the resolution, which is as high as 207 k pixels. The advantage is apparent when you check the focus during or after shooting, or when you display images even in tiny thumbnail size, across which you can move an omni-directional cursor to select. They can be played back in 9, 16 and 25 on multi-split screen in addition to the normal 1 frame playback thanks to the large high resolution LCD. This helps you to search for the image you want out of a number stored on the Secure Digital Memory Card, even if the images are in bulk. Furthermore, you can virtually checkmark your favorite images and keep them selected apart from the others to make a special slideshow with them only, or make concurrent deletion of the non-check marked ones if you do not need them anymore. Thanks to this feature, the LX1 can serve not just as a tool of shooting images but also as a digital album, to enjoy the seeing and showing of your favorite pictures. To offer a clear view even in sunny outdoor conditions, the Power LCD function increases brightness by 140% just by pressing an independent button.
Panasonic DMC LX1 - Smart control
The Panasonic DMC LX1 incorporates high performance image processing LSI the Venus Engine II in both speed and image quality. Thanks to the multi-task image processing, response has also been accelerated, resulting in the best-in-class level release time lag of 0.01 sec achieving more stress-free operation. For the burst shooting mode, it also boasts high consecutive shooting performance, providing shooting at 3 frames/second at 8.4 Megapixel full resolution. This function can be instantly activated with the independent button (The button also performs as "DELETE" in playback mode). Unlimited Consecutive Shooting function (The speed of the unlimited consecutive shooting varies depending on the SD Memory Card) allows limit-free consecutive shooting up to the capacity of the SD memory card.
Panasonic Lumix digital camera - Quick AF
An AF method can be selected according to the shooting situation: 9-point, 3-point high-speed, 1-point high-speed, 1-point normal-speed and Spot. The 1 point high-speed AF, initially incorporated in the high zoom line DMC-FZ5, dramatically reduces the AF time to realize stress-free operation. Although screen-freeze in high-speed AF is now minimized, if you take the picture of subject with fast movement, you can select 1 point normal-speed AF which does not have any screen-freeze while focusing.

Dammit. I love bread pudding with bourbon pecan sauce. Get it every time I'm in New Orleans. Serious craving now.
Yeah, it was Horizon. I didn't care for the epilogue either in one sense (it was a bit depressing) but on the other hand, since the whole series starts because Fawn is pregnant, unmarried and running away from home it is kind of symmetrical to see what happens to the woman Barr "persuaded".
I did like the epilogue; it did tie up some things nicely, but not everything and everyone. It's open-ended, I can imagine Bujold returning to this world sometime in the future to show us what they've been up to. (She has to write some more Vorkosigan stuff first, though. She's working on a new Miles title, can't wait!) Was it the Barr thing that you found depressing? I rather liked the fact that the woman worked things out on her own, and Barr had to just deal with it and grow up.
