The Silent Pool Rosé has become something of a local cult favourite here in Surrey. Made from 59% Pinot Noir and 41% Pinot Meunier grown biodynamically at Albury, the 2017 has been released to rave reviews and sports a smart new look for the Surrey producer.
With its pale salmon-blush colours, the Silent Pool opens with a beautifully feminine nose of fresh raspberry, cherry and a twist of citrus.
It's instantly gratifying to taste, beginning with a zesty fusion of pink grapefruit, lemon zest and tangy redcurrant. The wine opens up with ripe strawberries, white peach and creamy textures on the mid-taste.
The relatively high proportion of Pinot Meunier is what makes this wine shine, lending a subtle, earthy nuance that elevates it above your standard pink summer sipper.

Judge rules against fire petition drive
Associated Newspapers · December 1, 2011
December 1, 2011 PLYMOUTH EAGLE.
Plymouth Township officials were not ordered by the Circuit Court to place a dedicated millage to support fire department services on the February ballot.
The Citizens Action Group of Plymouth Township had petitioned the court seeking the ballot question and an injunction to stop the layoffs and proposed cuts to fire services in the municipality. The arguments were heard by Wayne County Circuit Court Judge Michael Sapala, who denied the group's request saying that he did not have enough evidence to prove that the required 10 percent of landowners had signed petitions seeking the millage vote.
The group submitted more than 3,500 signatures to the board several weeks ago, but township officials questioned or disallowed many of them for various reasons including disputed ownership of
the property and, in one case, claiming a condominium owner did not actually own the land on which the residential unit was built.
"I need credible evidence concluding that we have 10 percent of owners. I don't have that," Sapala said in dismissing the citizens group case.
Marvin Stempien a retired circuit court judge, argued against township attorney Tim Cronin before Sapala. Following the judge's ruling, Stempien said that the group would get the evidence the judge required and be back in court as soon as possible.
The group has argued that the failure of the township officials to put the question on the ballot is a violation of MCL 41.801 and that the board members have unlawfully denied the public the right to vote on the issue. They also cited the personal animus on the part of some of the members of the township board toward the firefighters union. In their petition, the group stated that the township board members had failed in its clear legal duty under state law.
Those issues did not apparently sway Sapala, who ruled solely on the veracity and accuracy of the petitions. He was presented with a chart of the area, drawn by a township official, with color-coded property lines. In his ruling, the judge said he had no way of determining the accuracy of the petitions or the land masses in question. To force a mill- age question, 10 percent of affected landowners must sign a petition asking for a vote.
The dispute began about a year ago when the City of Plymouth notified the township that it would be withdrawing from the joint fire services agreement that had been in place. In a move characterized as "cost-cut- ting" the City of Plymouth fire services will be provided by Northville.
The city move left a $925,000 deficit in the fire budget. Township officials opted to attempt to offset the deficit with personnel and service reductions and other cost-cutting efforts. The township is currently in negations with the firefighters union regarding wages and working conditions. The union has offered concessions, officials said, and a plan to help reduce or eliminate the deficit which the township has to date rejected.
Earlier this year, the township unsuccessfully negotiated a takeover of all fire department services with both Livonia and Canton Township, which would have eliminated all local township fire department personnel, including firefighters, paramedics and other employees. Those talks eventually failed.
Earlier this year, township officials also refused an $880,000 two-year grant federal grant for public safety due to requirements officials were not willing to meet regarding firefighters' hours.
Stempien said the citizens' group has only 20 days to complete the requirements for putting the question on the Feb. 28 ballot, but would continue their efforts.

If you are interested in learning more about Xeomin in McLean, Reston, or surrounding areas of Virginia, please call Dr. Gartside at 703-742-8004 to schedule your initial consultation.
Similar to BOTOX® Cosmetic, Xeomin is a highly purified neurotoxin that interrupts the chemical signals that cause muscle tension. By interrupting these signals, overlying skin is able to smooth above the muscles, producing a noticeably more youthful and even uplifted appearance.
As with BOTOX® Cosmetic, Xeomin is a temporary solution for frown lines in between the eyebrows. Over time, the nerve junctions will restore themselves, allowing muscle tension to once again cause wrinkles. To maintain results, injections will need to be repeated every four to six months.
Dr. Gartside is an experienced plastic surgeon offering both surgical and nonsurgical solutions. If you desire longer lasting results, she may suggest a brow lift or other facial rejuvenation techniques. This can be discussed in greater detail during your initial consultation.

Lock in a great price for Holiday Inn Express Singapore Orchard Road - rated 8.5 by recent guests.
I love the fitness centre and the location of the hotel.
I really loved the warm welcome i got from your hotel..everybody was very helpful to show us the way around Singapore..specially for my first trip to Singapore!
Very good bed. Staff were very nice. Breakfast was plentiful and not bad.
Breakfast quantity was excellent but in terms of quality, was very good some days and not that good other days. The bathroom was very modern but impractical...glass enclosed meant that all the noise coming from the bathroom is heard in the room and if somebody uses the bathroom lights in the middle of the night, the bedroom is also flooded with light disturbing whoever is sleeping.
The break fast was standard, nothing special. The location was awesome.
Other facilities at the property include a 24-hour fitness centre. Computers and a meeting room are available for guests at the business centre. Vending machines are located on the 4th floor.
This is our guests' favourite part of Singapore, according to independent reviews. This area is also great for shopping, with popular brands nearby: Cartier, H&M, Prada, Burberry, Louis Vuitton.

Sunrise Hospital, Kakkanad, Kochi. Focused on Laparoscopic and Endoscopic Surgeries, and empowered by our exceptional tertiary medical care, we are a multispecialty hospital conforming to international standards. Being the Apex Center for Minimally Invasive Surgery in Asia, we have also been honored as a Center of excellence in Hernia Surgeries and Laparoscopic Cancer Surgeries. Specialized in Accident and Trauma care, we are ably equipped to provide state-of-the-art treatment for all types of medical emergencies.
For us 'LIFE' is extremely precious. We also strongly believe in the general well-being of patients and provide complete care to the patients, addressing every related aspect, even including a cosmetic angle.
Aesthetically laid out, this hospital is maintained under very stringent conditions of asepsis that ensures a clean infection-free environment which is at the same time extremely warm, caring and relaxing, while conforming to international standards. Our patients come from all over the world. Our association with the international community has been rewarding. In a short span of three years this hospital has carved its niche in the medical arena as one of the most sought-after healthcare destinations in Kerala.
This easily accessible 250-bed hospital, strategically located on the expressway connecting the International Airport and the Seaport of Kochi is spread over 1.5 acres with a built-up area of 100,000 sq.ft., located on 10 floors, accommodating more than 40 medical departments and specialties.
Our dedicated medical team, comprising of eminent doctors and equally proficient medical, paramedical and administrative personnel, is constantly updated on the very latest medical developments to bring you world-class medical expertise and patient care.


A 52-year-old woman presented at our department for progressive dysphagia for almost 1 year, with food vomiting. An esophagoscopy showed a polypoidal mass, 25 cm from the incisors, in the middle third of the esophagus. Biopsy confirmed the presence of a squamous cell carcinoma shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1: Panel A: A CT scan (axial plane) of the chest showing a right aortic arch (red arrow) and an esophageal cancer (white arrow).
Computed tomography showed an ulcerative tumor in the esophageal wall, measuring 50 mm × 23 mm × 73 mm, 8 cm from the cardia with intimate contact with the trachea, the keel and the left pulmonary artery (Panel A) shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2: Panel B: Computed tomography (coronal plane) revealing a right aortic arch (white arrow).
CT revealed also a right aortic arch, classified as an aortic anomaly of type III-A: A mirror image branching of the normal left aortic arch, according to Edward's classification (Panel B). Type IIIB is the most frequent, followed by Type IIIA. The classification of aortic anomalies by Edward's et al. is based on their theoretical concept of the development of the aortic arch. Right aortic arch is a rare condition, this congenital vascular anomaly is thought to occur in approximately ~0.1% (Range 0.05% to 0.2%) of the population, and it is reported to represent from 1% to 2% of congenital diseases of the heart and aorta. In patients with a right aortic arch, the aorta surrounds the esophagus and trachea, causing the compression and deviation of these structures, as well as deviation of the recurrent laryngeal nerve. This is why great care must be taken when the surgical option is decided. The main symptom of right aortic arch is dysphagia, due to compression of the esophagus by the vascular ring created by the arch. In our case, dysphagia was not noted prior to the development of the cancer. Esophageal cancer associated with right aortic arch is very rare, only few cases have been cited in the literature; the squamous carcinoma cell is the most common type. The surgical resection in this rare combination is very rare, but some cases have been reported in the literature. A right thoracotomy is the most common approach for the resection of the esophageal cancer, but in the presence of a right aortic arch, we prefer a left thoracotomy. The mean age was 62 years.
After multidisciplinary board meeting, she benefited from a jejunotomy tube. An exclusive chemoradiation was provided, but given the alteration of the general state, important weight loss (10 Kg in 3 months, her actual weight is 35 kg), and tumor progression, a palliative radiation was decided (30 Gy, 3Gy per fraction).

Q: ISTIO fails when host specified and HTTP redirect is enabled I am using ISTIO and hostnames to load balance and direct traffic. I have the following Virtual Service enabled:
kind: VirtualService
metadata:
  name: app-lab-app
  namespace: my-namespace
spec:
  gateways:
    - istio-system/ingressgateway
  hosts:
    - hostname1.lab
  http:
  - match:
    route:
    - destination:
        host: search-head-service
        port:
          number: 8000

When I try to reach this service via cURL, I receive the following error (32271 is the hostport which is mapped to port 80 on ingressgateway):
curl -Hhost:hostname1.lab http://10.20.1.108:32271/ -L
curl: (7) Failed to connect to hostname1.lab port 80: Connection refused

The issue is this..the endpoint does a redirect.  I can reach the first website, but once the redirect happens, it fails
I can make this work by removing the hostname in the spec and changing to '*' but this won't help me do the host-based load balancing.

A: While I'd still like to understand what was happening originally, an ISTIO guru had me apply the patch below. These steps create an ISTIO Gateway (not an ingress gateway) on all nodes with the appropriate label:
Step 1 - Label certain nodes:
kubectl label nodes <hostname> istio-ingressgateway=true
kubectl label nodes <hostname> istio-ingressgateway=true

Step 2 - Save patch to a file like patch.json:
   "spec": {
      "replicas": 2,
      "template": {
         "spec": {
            "nodeSelector": {"istio-ingressgateway" : "true"},
            "containers": [
               {"name" : "istio-proxy", "ports": [{"containerPort" : 80, "hostPort" : 80, "protocol": "TCP"}, {"containerPort":443, "hostPort": 443, "protocol" : "TCP"}]}
            ]
         }
      }
   }
}

Step 3 - Apply the patch:
kubectl -n istio-system patch deployment/istio-ingressgateway --patch "$(cat patch.json)"

Start indoors 10–12 weeks before last frost, plant out 1 week after frost. For fall harvest, transplant 3 weeks before first frost, without additional protection. In a hoophouse, you can plant 2-3 weeks later. Bolting is caused by 10 days below 55˚F, when hardening off for transplant, reduce water 7-10 days. Do not harden off celery by lowering temperatures.

John Watson[edit]
Well, I knew it. This is the end of my medical career. My father's going to be furious. I always knew that making friends with you would end up in disaster.
Older Watson[edit]
It was a cold, snowy day in early December. Lack of funds had forced my old school to close. I was being sent to a new one in the middle of term. I was accustomed to the open, relaxed expanse of the country, and now I was in the heart of London at the height of the Victorian Era. The streets were teeming with every activity imaginable. I was very taken by what I saw. As I stepped from my carriage, the sight of my new school filled me with fear and apprehension, yet, I was swept with a wave of curiosity. However, nothing could prepare me for the extraordinary adventure that lay ahead, or the extraordinary individual who would change my life.
A few days later, they buried Professor Waxflatter. I had never been to a funeral before, though unfortunately, I've been to many since. Holmes could not publicly attend the funeral. His expulsion from Brompton prevented such a thing. The death of his mentor and friend had taken its toll on Sherlock Holmes. In my entire life, I have only seen Holmes cry on two occasions. Today was the first.
As I watched Holmes settle into his seat, a sudden feeling came over me - that I would most certainly be seeing him again. So ended my first adventure with Mr. Sherlock Holmes. As I watched his carriage disappear into the distance, I realised that I had forgotten to thank him. He had taken a weak, frightened boy and made him into a courageous, strong man. My heart soared. I was filled with confidence. I was ready for whatever mystery or danger lay ahead. I was ready to take on the greatest and most exciting adventure of them all, and I knew it was bound to involve Sherlock Holmes.
Other[edit]
Professor Rathe: [after defeating Sherlock in a fencing match] My game, Holmes. Now, gentlemen, Mr. Holmes lost because of one important factor: his emotions took over. He ignored discipline. Never replace discipline with emotion. Well played, Holmes.
Rupert Waxflatter: Elementary, my dear Holmes... elementary.
Dialogue[edit]
Sherlock Holmes: You're the new boy.
John Watson: Yes, I transferred from another school. My name is...
Sherlock Holmes: Wait - let me. [observes him for a moment] Your name is James Watson. You're from the north of England, your father is a doctor, you spend a considerable amount of leisure time writing, and you have a particular fondness for custard tarts. Am I correct?
John Watson: My name isn't James, it's John.
Sherlock Holmes: James, John - what's the difference?
John Watson: A great deal!
Sherlock Holmes: Very well, so your name is John. How did I do on the others?
John Watson: You were correct. On every count. How is it done? Is it some sort of magic trick?
Sherlock Holmes: [chuckles] No magic, Watson. Pure and simple deduction. The name-tag on your mattress reads "J Watson". I selected the most common name that begins with "J" - "James". Or "John", that would have been my second choice.
John Watson: Of course.
Sherlock Holmes: Your particular style of shoes are not made in the city. I've only encountered them once before during a brief visit to the north of England. The middle finger of your left hand is indented with a callus, the trademark of a writer. And you were carrying The Hunter's Encyclopedia of Disease - a handbook not available to the general public, only to practising physicians. Since someone of your age obviously hasn't been to medical school, I concluded that it was given to you by an older person, someone very dear to you who is concerned for your health: your father, the doctor.
John Watson: And the custard tarts?
Sherlock Holmes: Simple. There's a distinct stain of yellow custard on your lapel. That particular colour of custard is used in the making of custard tarts, and, uh... well, your shape convinced me you've eaten many of them before.
John Watson: There's no need to be rude!
Older Watson: It was the beginning of my second week at Brompton. With each passing day, my fascination with Sherlock Holmes and his world continued to grow. On this occasion, the entire school was bursting with excitement. Dudley had challenged Holmes to a test of ingenuity, skill, and perception. Dudley had snatched the school's fencing trophy and hidden it in a secret place. He gave Holmes sixty minutes to find the trophy. Holmes accepted the challenge with confidence.
Sherlock Holmes: The game is afoot!
John Watson: I can't afford to jeopardise my medical career!
Sherlock Holmes: Weasel.
John Watson: I'm not a weasel. I am... practical.
Sherlock Holmes: Weasels are practical. And I imagined you courageous and stout of heart.
John Watson: I am courageous. And I'm stout of heart. It's just that... oh, all right. I'll do it.
Sherlock Holmes: Sherlock Holmes, jealous? My dear, that word does not enter my vocabulary.
Elizabeth Hardy: Neither does punctuality.
Sherlock Holmes: A great detective relies on perception, intelligence, and imagination.
Lestrade: [amused] Where'd you get that rubbish from?
Sherlock Holmes: It's framed on the wall behind you.
Lestrade: I despise your arrogance.
Sherlock Holmes: And I despise your laziness.
Sherlock Holmes: You're sitting in a room with an all-southern view. Suddenly, a bear walks by the window. What colour is the bear?
John Watson: Red! The bear is red!
Sherlock Holmes: Why on Earth would the bear be red?
John Watson: The southern sun is very hot. The bear would be terribly burnt!
Sherlock Holmes: [laughs] That is the most absurd answer I've ever heard.
Sherlock Holmes: Just have a quick look at these. [hands Lestrade two obituaries]
Lestrade: A suicide and a carriage accident.
Sherlock Holmes: I suspect foul play.
Lestrade: Why? The two instances are completely unrelated.
Sherlock Holmes: Wrong. Both men graduated from the same university in 1809.
Lestrade: Coincidence.
Sherlock Holmes: Neither of their deaths fit their personalities. According to his obituary, Bobster was a happy man, content with his life, his career, his family. Why would he commit suicide? He didn't even leave a note. And Reverend Nesbitt is described by friends as "warm, loving, peaceful". And yet the carriage driver insists that he was crazed, insane, in a state of panic when he ran out into the street.
Lestrade: Holmes, a mere fluctuation of character is hardly sufficient evidence to begin an investigation. And if you want my advice, you'll keep your nose out of the Times and into your schoolbooks.
Sherlock Holmes: I appreciate your time, Mr. Lestrade. I suggest you hold onto these. [Lestrade shakes his head as Holmes tips out the contents of a small container; the contents are some of the poison darts used against Rathe's enemies] If I were a detective sergeant trapped in this room all day up to my neck in boring paperwork, I would be doing everything in my power to seek out that one case, that one investigation that could promote me to inspector.
Lestrade: [irately] Good day, Holmes.
John Watson: Holmes, wait! I know why the bear is white!
Sherlock Holmes: And why is that, Watson?
John Watson: Well, the only room with an all-southern view would be at the North Pole. It's a polar bear!
Sherlock Holmes: Bravo, Watson. You have the makings of a great detective.
Sherlock Holmes: Someday we'll be reunited. In another world, a much better world.
Elizabeth Hardy: I'll be waiting. And you'll be late... as always.
John Watson: What have I got myself into?
Sherlock Holmes: The adventure of a lifetime, Watson.
About Young Sherlock Holmes[edit]
The thing that was most important to me was why Holmes became so cold and calculating, and why he was alone for the rest of his life ... That's why he is so emotional in the film; as a youngster, he was ruled by emotion, he fell in love with the love of his life, and as a result of what happens in this film, he becomes the person he was later.
Chris Columbus [1]

Album Stream: Hngmn – I Don't Wanna Go Home
We're pleased to bring you the premiere of H_ngm_n's new EP I Don't Wanna Go Home (listen below), which is scheduled to be officially released digitally tomorrow, November 30th, through all major digital distributors. The album will be physically released n 2019.
We talked briefly with Chris Childs of H_ngm_n below, so be sure to check that out while you're streaming the EP.
Hey, what's the back-story? Tell us about H_ngm_n, who you are, how you came to be and what you've been up to until now?
H_ngm_n is James & Chris, we're a two-piece band from Brighton who blend pop hooks with emo/punk music. We met at uni and started a band about 8 years ago, and when that band came to an end, we decided to jam some stuff just the two of us. Since then we've put out our debut release Lions, Tigers & Velociraptors, a vinyl split release with Larkhill and a double single with Scylla Records last year. We've toured the UK & Ireland & have recently been on tour in Europe with Chris' other band All Better. Having hit the studio this Summer, we're very excited to be releasing new music!
We're exclusively streaming your EP today! CONGRATULATIONS & HAPPY RELEASE DAY! Tell us about the record and any lyrical themes.
Thanks! It's the first new music from us since January last year so we're very excited to be releasing I Don't Wanna Go Home via the lovely lot at Real Ghost Records. We recorded the 4 tracks with Daly George at The Ranch in Southampton, and I guess I'd say the overall lyrical themes tough on the pressures of getting older and getting your life together, pessimism, depression & having an addictive personality. Whenever I talk about the lyrics, it sounds so miserable, promise it's not all doom and gloom though! I feel like it's definitely more of a mature sound, but doesn't steer too far from our upbeat energy from previous releases.
Musically, who are you influenced by and who are you stoked about in the UK scene right now?
I guess immediate influences to our music would be All Get Out, The Hotelier, The Dangerous Summer, Citizen, stuff of that vein. I promote shows in Brighton as my full time job so I get to see a lot of great bands all the time. Some of the bands smashing it in the UK right now, I'd have to say Don't Worry, I Feel Fine, Penthouse, itoldyouiwouldeatyou, Muncie Girls, Brightr, Ducking Punches, Murderhouse, to name a few. So many smashing it at the moment! I'll shamelessly throw my other band in there too, All Better ;) THEY'RE WELL GOOD.
What's next for you boys?
So we have a few really cool things to announce for the new year, obviously we're just stoked to get the EP released & as many people listening to it as possible! But let's just say we've got loads of sick shows lined up for 2019.
Connect with the band:

WSJ Doesn't Buy the Big NYT Insider Trading Story
John Carney
The Wall Street Journal today sounded a skeptical note on the New York Times' report about the investigation into possible insider-trading at Pequot Capital Management. According to the WSJ, you didn't need to be an insider to know about the GE-Heller Financial deal. You just needed to read the WSJ.
The New York Times stated that one of the transactions of interest to Mr. Aguirre was General Electric Co.'s purchase of Heller Financial Inc. for $5.3 billion, which was announced on July 30, 2001. Earlier that month, Mr. Mack had been named CEO of Credit Suisse First Boston, which advised Heller on the sale to GE. The news of a possible sale of Heller to GE was well known to investors. On March 22, 2001, The Wall Street Journal published a "Heard on the Street" column about a potential tie-up between Heller and GE.

So you're home and you wake up with a sore throat one morning, the soreness goes away after about 20 minutes," what was that?" You ask yourself, chances are it could be your in home air filter.
Air filters require replacement every 20-30 days, depending on home environmental factors such as pets and smoking. The dirtier an air filter is, the harder the air handler will need to work to produce the same amount of cold air for your home. Air conditioning units could even freeze as a result of air filter neglect, and cost you thousands if you burn out the compressor, which will freeze the coils due to poor circulation – sound familiar?
Checking your air filter is fairly simple and doesn't require a lot of tools, usually a single screwdriver will remove the brackets, allowing you access to the filter. Changing the filter is easy and in most cases can be done by an eight year old. A great way to keep track of the age of the air filter is to write the date installed right on the filter.

Biosecurity Tasmania advises that new, temporary import requirements have been imposed on the trade of Western Australian strawberry fruit as a vector of Green Snail (Cornu apertus (Born) (syn. Cantareus apertus (Born), Helix aperta (Born)).
As a result, strawberries from properties more than two kilometres from a Green Snail infestation in Western Australia can once again be imported into Tasmania in accordance with a series of import conditions, including that properties must be inspected free of the pest by an approved person on a monthly basis. Strawberry fruit from Western Australian properties within two kilometres of a Green Snail infestation will still not be accepted for the time being.
Biosecurity Tasmania continues to work with its Western Australian counterparts on this matter.
Green snail is classified as a high priority pest and there is a national protocol in place for reducing the risk of its movement outside the confirmed area of establishment for the pest.
Green snail is native to Southern Europe and North Africa but has been established in the Perth metropolitan area since the 1980s and also has been detected elsewhere in Australia. Mature green snails have an olive-green shell and white flesh. They are intermediate in size and rarely exceed 25mm in shell diameter. Information to help identify Green Snail is available at the Agriculture Victoria website.
We ask everyone to please remain vigilant for the presence of any Green Snails when purchasing strawberry punnets from Western Australia and immediately report any snail finds to Biosecurity Tasmania on (03) 6165 3777. Please do not release the snails into the waste stream or the environment.

Silk Road History
Silk is known to be luxurious and expensive fabric material. It is said to be stronger than steel for it has fiber that which has the same diameter as to the fiber of steel. It was first developed in China and now has various variations. You can find silk that cam from cocoons of different silkworm that has different property that is beneficial. But you may wonder about the connection of silk to the famous Silk Road. So here is the history of the Silk Road for you to understand their connection.
The "Seidenstrae" which literally mean "Silk Road" was given by a German geographer Ferdinand von Richthofen. Silk Road is a trade route that originated from Chang'an (now Xian) in the east and ended at the Mediterranean in the west which began during Han Dynasty. It was stated in history that it gradually grew up in this dynasty. It became the most famous trade route and reached the most prosperous stage with the establishment of Tang dynasty. And during the Yuan dynasty, it experienced its last flourishing period.
Silk Road was extended from Southern Europe through Arabia, Somalia, Egypt, Persia, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Java, and Vietnam until it reaches China. It is named Silk Road because the major product that traders traveled on this road is silk. Aside from silk they also trade porcelain, furs, spices, gems and other exotic products of Asia. There are also cosmetics, silver, gold, amber, ivory, carpets, perfume and glass from Europe, Central Asia, Arabia and Africa. This ancient route does not only use for trading goods but it also exchange cultures, and technology from different places.
Now you learned that the Silk Road was named after silk because most of the product that is trade in this road is silk.

BrightSign Keeping it 'Real' with 4K Digital Signage Player at DSE 2014
Launched at ISE 2014 and on display at DSE 2014, BrightSign 4K boasts native 4K with H.265 codec and HDMI 2.0 standard.
February 13, 2014 Tom LeBlanc
BrightSign unveiled its 4K digital signage media player during Integrated Systems Europe 2014 and it's making its North American debut at Digital Signage Expo 2014. The company says the BrightSign 4K the "first to deliver a true end-to-end 4K solution that accepts H.265-encoded content and delivers 60 fps output via HDMI 2.0."
Those features, says director of marketing Ann Holland, set it apart from other 4K players that BrightSign expects to see elsewhere on the DSE 2014 show floor, February 12-13 in Las Vegas.
BrightSign "has looked into the specs," she says and knows of no other solid-state digital signage player on the market that meets true 4K Ultra HD standards.
Those standards, adds BrightSign CEO Jeff Hastings, are "the H.265 codec to keep file sizes down and HDMI 2.0 standard to get all of the bits to the display."
BrightSign 4K at DSE 2014
Hastings goes on to emphasize why BrightSign is touting its high standards for 4K versus perceived lower standards by its competitors:
"4K is the buzzword, so everyone wants to jump on that bandwagon. So they're trying to take older technology like H.264 with HDMI 1.4 and trying to throw it together to have a player at 30 frames per second and claiming 4K. And the big thing is, No. 1, we've invested a lot in this technology to bring it to market, but to make sure that 4K doesn't get a bad name.
"[It's] a little bit like when HD first came out and the marketers got a little bit ahead of the technology. If you think back to 2001, 2002, it was like 'HD, HD, HD.' Well, we later only found out that what they were selling us was really only 720p and not the 1080i that everybody later realized as the real HD.
"And I'm a little bit worried about that on the 4K side. If you take 4K and you're only doing it as up sampling or you're only doing 4K at 30 frames per second or you're reducing the bit rate down to something that H.264 can handle, most people will [say] that doesn't look any better than 1080p. And they're right. What we're trying to do is make sure people really understand that in 4K you really have to have all of these things come together to have real 4K. Otherwise, you're going to be disappointed.

Apollo 11 guidance computer compared with a modern day mobile phone.
I thought it would be fun to compare a modern day electronic device with a past once pioneering electronic device. I have chosen to compare the latest mobile phone with the Apollo guidance computer that landed man on the moon.
I once came across a blog that suggested that most modern washing machines had more processing power than the Apollo space craft. Mobile phones are now becoming so advanced some almost make our home computers look inferior but are they really any more intelligent?
Despite the advances in computers and electronics and despite the vast difference in processing power the Apollo guidance computer could still land you on the moon however the HTC Desire could only get you home, and consider the Apollo guidance computer did that too, although it didn't Tweet, "Hi honey, I'm home" or need to be backed up by an array of virtual friends although I believe the whole world did watch it.
Having just compared all of the specifications of both devices I am now finding it hard to choose between the two. Should I opt for the HTC Desire that plugs me directly into every social networking application there is or go for the Apollo guidance computer? I am intrigued by which one would be most talked about if it was extracted from my pocket down my local although I am very sure which one would get the most bids on ebay.
That aside Apple has proved it's not always about power or features sometimes it's just cool to own something new.
I can't tell you where to get an Apollo 11 Guidance computer but you can get a HTC Desire from Three for free.
Well for those who want to see the results the comparison table is below.
Multi-touch with HTC Sense interface.
Proximity sensor, G-Sensor, Digital compass, FM Radio, GPS, A-GPS and Ambient light sensor. It can get you home.
Looks like it has already been done.
Sorry I know this was a popular subject that many of you had responded to however I lost the comments due to a server change.
I have followed the instructions on this webpage and now successfully imported my contacts including email addresses (that were omitted before), but now I've noticed that all my email addresses are listed as '.com' instead of '.com.au'. When I tried to edit and add .au on the end of the email addresses, I've run out of characters (& its only 4 characters before the @!)! Please help!
need to know the battery voltage for the htc to do a comparison on the power consumption. also $24billion cost? either include the cost of just this component or include the whole development cost of the HTC, not the retail price.
Oh my god! I've been tryng to figure how to import my contact for hour. Thank you so much. You Rock!
I am changing the SIM in my HTC desire to another provider. Is it possible to move my photos to new SIM if so how do I do it please?

Jefferson County has also been sued multiple times over CHC's services at its jail. According to Techmeyer, the amount the county has spent on these lawsuits should be addressed by CHC's in-house legal department.
Bradley Brockmann, executive director of the Center for Prisoner Health and Human Rights at Brown University Medical School, notes that private companies like CHC, which are paid a lump sum up front for their services, have a profit incentive to keep inmate medical services as basic and cheap as possible. For example, according to its contract with Jefferson County, Correctional Healthcare Companies is responsible for covering the first $50,000 of all costs incurred by transferring an inmate to an offsite facility. That means sending Ken to a hospital, as he requested repeatedly in the midst of his stroke, would cost the company up to $50,000. "Giving contracts to the lowest bidder to provide the cheapest services might save some money to the correctional institution, but in the long term it's destroying people's lives," says Brockmann. "More transparency is desperately needed, with some accountability beyond the institution's bottom line. Any light that can be shined into these areas can be helpful."
Ken is trying to fight for that accountability and transparency. "Maybe the reason you are living is the Lord wants to use you to open their eyes," Mike, the former EMT turned inmate, told Ken a few months after his stroke. "They need a wake-up call in there."
Ken hopes his lawsuit will be that wake-up call. But even if he wins, a victory won't give him his life back. It won't stop the nightmares that plague him at night, the ones illuminated by the horrible blue light from his time in the SHU.
"I am just trying to find a switch to turn off that light," he says.
