Alodia mini Fans day production note 2
Xandra did a design on the event shirt that will be provided for the volunteer staff and organizers, I just joked on RG that I won't be wearing this shirt ahahhahah. I just said that in the field as an organizer I just want to be wearing the same shirt, and they might mistaken me as a volunteer staff, but then I heard that Xandra will create a shirt for organizers, but I told them its okay and I still won't wear the shirt for the event. The design is create and cute. I'm wondering, will it be available in white shirt? hahahaha. (oppss)
It is already the end of the 1st week period, and we are all set and waiting for the big clock to April 4, 2009. I'm still waiting for the floor layout and its hard to visualize what will be the look of the fans day venue.. I haven't created a floor layout in my Google Sketch up, but I will provide a draft sample maybe on Sunday and share it to my group.
The fans day event is very controversial in the past days, and I think more controversial in every other day, but I'm glad that it stopped for awhile and hope everyone can understand that this event is organized by the fan club members and not by Alodia. Its the fan's decision to make one, so don't make fun of it, or laugh at it, because this event is for them only.

8th Philippine Toy Con 2009 production note 4
few weeks ago, we just decided and finalized what will be our movie theme for this year's Toy Con 2009, and it looks like that Transformers : Revenge of the Fallen and GI Joe : Rise of Cobra will be our main movie theme for this year. We are also cropping out some new ideas and try to do a toy theme or a pop culture theme for the event. I'm being cool that night and just left in front of the table listening to our upcoming event partners, me and my colleagues are doing their part and I'm just waiting for the wrapped up of the meeting, so that I can talk now and show some concerns about the event, you see that I don't want to happen those bad things last year and I'm glad that my group already learned a big lesson, and there's already no need for me to talk and remind it to them, because we discussed some things that went wrong last year that needed to be avoided and make a solution for it.
On the other end of the discussions, we just closed our meeting and included Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince in our movie theme line up. I'm already getting crazy from it and sounds like a big bang event is coming this June 13-14, 2009.
Btw, check out the Harry Potter poster below. hmm. I'm still wondering what will be our TV theme for this year.hmm Sanlakas?? not sure about it, but I'll let our tv partner decide it.

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince - 6 character poster banners
Friday, March 27, 2009 Azrael Coladilla
Warner Bros. unveils the official banners for the highly anticipated "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," due to open across the Philippines on July 16, with a first-look feature here at AzraelColadilla.com.
The banners highlight six characters that major prominently in the sixth installment of the blockbuster series: Harry, Ron, Hermione, Dumbledore, Voldemort and Snape.
In "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," Voldemort is tightening his grip on both the Muggle and wizarding worlds and Hogwarts is no longer the safe haven it once was. Harry suspects that dangers may even lie within the castle, but Dumbledore is more intent upon preparing him for the final battle that he knows is fast approaching. Meanwhile, the students are under attack from a very different adversary as teenage hormones rage across the ramparts. Love is in the air, but tragedy lies ahead and Hogwarts may never be the same again.
Warner Bros. Pictures presents a Heyday Films production, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince." David Yates, who directed last year's summer blockbuster "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix," returns to direct "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince." David Heyman and David Barron are the producers, with Lionel Wigram serving as executive producer. Steve Kloves wrote the screenplay, based on the book by J.K. Rowling.

Monsters Vs. Aliens IMAX 3D movie review and the movie bloggers
I'm hanging out with my new friends, and yes.. they are monsters!
Thanks to SM Mall of Asia and SM Cinema for inviting us to the red carpet IMAX premiere of Monsters Vs. Aliens. I went there with my movie bloggers group to watch it and witness the battle of Earth monsters against the invading creatures from another galaxy. I'm happy to see the movie in full 3D in IMAX, the experience is better and more enjoyable. You're eyes will be tricked again by the 3D effects of the CGI animation and thanks to the IMAX 3D glasses for enhancing your viewing pleasure and get that IMAX 3D feeling.
the movie bloggers group in their monsterific photo pose
Here's my review about the movie.
I'm a big scifi and horror fan and because that this animated movie is for kids, I can relate on some of the characters and elements they used in some movies. It drove me nuts and I think few us viewers who just heared and laugh after hearing the theme song of the classic movie "Close Encouter of the third kind". I know most of the viewers are kids and they are not familiar with it, but this might help them also watch the classic films if they really want to know about Monsters.
Here are some elements of movies I just noticed about Monsters. ( read below)
1. Attack of the 50 foot tall woman
2. The Fly
3. Creatures from the Black Lagoon
4. The Blob
5. Independece Day
6. The Earth Stood Still
7. E.T.
8. Close Encounters of the Third Kind
9. Godzilla
10. Mothra
11. Mars Attacks
12. Invaders from Mars
13. Men in Black
15. War of the Worlds
if you combine these sci fi and monster movies and create your own parody, you will get a Monsters Vs. Aliens animated movie.
The Imax experience is really great, and I highly recommend it. Because you will watch the entire movie in full 3D. The animation will wow you with the 3D effects and I laughed almost in the entire movie because I really enjoy the story and the funny scenes of each of the characters. I like the character of BOB, the gelantinous mass with no brain creature, and most kids love him for this funny moves and dialogues. The textures of each animated character is well treated with each of their effects, the skin texture of Susan aka Ginormica looks so real already, but you'll see that only in the beginning of the movie, the hair of Insectosaurus flows very well.
When it comes to audio and sounds, the IMAX will blow you away, I just felt lots of audio waves in some of the exploding scenes, and It looks like that I am inside the movie, the shock wave of some explosions and thumping of the ground will make you fool yourself that you are in the movie. I heard one kid screaming and saying to her mom this "mommy! we are inside the movie! look!" the kid got amaze and I know he felt the IMAX 3D experience.
If you are planning to watch the movie in a regular screening, I suggest to get an extra budget and watch the IMAX 3D screening of Monsters Vs. Aliens. The P350 entrance fee ( is this the ticket price??) is a sure win for the 3D thing.

Fast food trip to Hermanos Deli Bar
Thursday, March 26, 2009 Azrael Coladilla
If you want to feel and experience the atmosphere of Vigan, then there's no need to go there and just a few drive away in Manila, you'll spot Hermanos Deli Bar having their own Vigan style themed restaurant bar in Home Depot Center, Julio Vargas st. Ortigas, Pasig City. Thanks to Spanx, Ivan, Anton for inviting us to this one of a kind tour inside Hermanos, and thanks to Manny, the owner of the bar for welcoming us and introduce to us this 1 month only deli bar that specialize in red wine and tapas.
It's a cool evening in the 1860's – Manila is in a calm but frenzied rush as the Christmas season beckons. Strictly exclusive restaurants are filled with pure Kastillas, as they feast on traditional Spanish food and wine. Amidst the flamenco music being played by guitaristas, chatter and laughter from frailes, oficiales and the who's who in Spanish-controlled Manila society fills the air.
With the Church bells ringing in the background and elderly ladies reciting prayers to herald in the festive time of the year, the illustrados, mestizos and educados, middle-society Filipinos, and even indios gather together in their own private places, not only to celebrate the onset of the season, but to discuss aspirations, doctrines and plans of gaining liberation and independence from Spain. It may be in one of these gatherings that a del Pilar, a Lopez-Jaena or even a Rizal was a passionate participant in the whispered discussions.
Their table fare consists of Spanish sausages, meats and cheeses. They combine these with native Filipino delicacies such as longganisa, dried beef and carabao cheese (kesong puti) to produce sumptuous meals to go with their wines and native brews. They shared, bonded and dreamt amidst a unique blend of small dishes that can be termed as "Kastinoy Tapas". Uniquely Filipino with a Spanish twist. Through these interactions, heroes are born, ideas are formulated and brotherhoods are established. Brotherhoods – brothers – HERMANOS!

Borquirones ala Ibarra
fresh wakang fish fillet in lemon balsimic olive oil, this is pure win! I love the taste and the feel of the food to be semi exotic. Many people don't like to eat raw fish, but this one will make your taste buds happy. I love this and its a 5 star rating for me.
Bola Bola Paella Dela Guerra
made of deep fried paella rice with chili sauce, its kinda weird to deep fried a rice and turn it into a bola bola, but I enjoyed chomping this, sounds like a maki rice with food in it.
Tapang Usa de Katipunan
the talk of the town, many food bloggers recommend this meal, and my first time to eat and taste a "deer" meat. All softy, chewable and the after taste of it is great!, best serve with rice and coke or beer.

Glaze your friends and be part of the Krispy Kreme Karnival party
just heard about this Chocolate Karnival and thanks to Spanky for emailing us a big teaser of this chocolate craze in Krispy Kreme, I immediately bought 1 dozen of all glaze with massive chocolate cover and brought it home. I like the taste of it, not that sweet but the chocolate really dominates in the doughnut. The doughnut became so soft and it melts quickly in your mouth. Seems like a mutation process that transformed the Krispy Kreme doughnut into a chocolate thing. They also have chocolate karnival version of all chocolate doughnuts and with fillings.
And then I just received this Glaze everyone campaign and thanks to Jen A. for sending hehehe, and if you visit their website http://www.chocolatekarnival.com/ You can tag and send a Glaze to your friends and later on, you will receive your Free Glaze doughnut and a special coffee. If you register, you will also have a chance to win a special invite for a Krispy Kreme Chocolate Karnival party happening on March 28, 2009. I guess I'm already part of this party since I receive an sms few weeks ago. Wow I'm now so excited. No doughnuts for me in the coming days. I will wait for March 28th for the big karnival party!
So what are you waiting for ? Let's glaze everyone in their inboxes hahahaa

Toy stores in Greenhills will move from Blue to Orange Lane
I sometimes joke around with friends and tell them that Greenhills is evil!
Because all good stuff is in there and if I enter the mall, I might leave the area with a plastic bag full of toys and action figures. For us, the venue is the heaven and birthplace of toy collectors and fanatics.
I just got some confirmed news that all toy stores in Shoppesville in Greenhills will be transferring from Blue lane to Orange lane. A friend told me that the Orange lane is located on the other side of Blue lane. The transfer of stores is to open up a major renovation for the Blue Lane. I know it will be a hard for the toy store owners to move and start over again. But that will be for a temporary stay at the Orange lane. I just heard that the new renovated Blue lane will be available for them again to rent it, but to pay much double price of the rental free. Many toy store owners was disappointed and some of them just gave word that they will close down and move to online selling, thats a wise decision and it will be benefit them more rather than pay for a double rental fee of store space.
I just suggested that, they can start over again and form a group of 3 toy stores and rent one venue for them, and they share all the rent, although the space is small for the 3 owners. I just hope that they revert back the P10,000 rental fee of the old Blue Lane in Shoppesville. Let us save the toy stores in Greenhills :)
A toy store owner already consulted me about online selling, I just told them that it is still effective and they should go back online and focus for awhile there while look for a new venue for toy stores like in Greenhills. Will we ever see a the new blue lane somewhere?

PLAYBOY Philippines - April 2009 ( 1st year anniversary issue)
Join PLAYBOY Philippines as it celebrates its first birthday with its biggest issue ever! Photographer KRISTINE SOGUILON lenses the magazine's most ambitious cover yet, leading into a nautical-themed pictorial, All Hands On Deck, featuring our previous Playmates guaranteed to shiver anyone's timbers. To document this historic shoot, we take readers Inside: Behind the Scenes of a PLAYBOY Pictorial for a special look into the work that became a labour of love for all involved. We also tag along for the Playmate Anniversary Getaway, where our girls take some well-deserved time to themselves. In the spirit of celebration, two of Deal or No Deal's 26K Girls, ANDREA SHIN and RUBY BASCO take center stage as our Anniversary Playmates of the Month. Also exclusively, for the first time in the Philippines, we are proud to present TETCHIE AGBAYANI's legendary pictorial, straight from the German edition's archives. Sitting down with us for 20 Questions is Senator GRINGO HONASAN, speaking on his experiences on both sides of the law. Rounding off the month is an excerpt from legendary screenwriter RICKY LEE's recently-released first novel "Para Kay B: Ester". Living up to PLAYBOY's status as the ultimate men's lifestyle magazine, we present for this month features on Andropause (the male version of menopause), and what to ask your tailor for when buying the perfect suit. It's our birthday, ladies and gents, and you won't believe what we've got coming up. ( Read more below)
LETTER FROM THE EDITOR PLAYBOY: YEAR ONE
A lot can happen in a year, and Heaven knows the last 12 months have been nothing, if not tumultuous, for the global economy. We in the magazine business certainly haven't been immune: Every day, we read or hear about publications folding or opting for the online route. We at PLAYBOY believe there's something to be said for the written word that you can hold in your hand (to say nothing of the inherent joy of physically opening a Centerfold).
I realize I would be remiss if I didn't admit to the birthing pains that we experienced (and continue to experience, to some extent) starting out, but I would be outright negligent if I didn't make mention of the outstanding work being put out by my core editorial team. Over the past few months, they have never ceased to impress me with their tireless energy, ability and outright enthusiasm that shows on every page of the magazine you now hold.
As we graduate from our freshman status and enter our sophomore year, I thank our readers, who have been with us since the beginning. For your loyalty, your letters, and most especially your criticisms, I thank you. For those of you picking us up for the first time, welcome to the family.
Believe me when I say, ladies and gentlemen, we're just getting started.
Adam Penn
PLAYBOY FACTS
In 1953, Hugh Hefner created PLAYBOY and, in the process, set the standard by which all subsequent men's magazines would be judged.
Irreverent, yet never immature; Sexy, yet never lewd, PLAYBOY would deliver on its promise of being the ultimate men's lifestyle magazine, featuring entertainment, politics, culture, humor and sex - all presented with a sophistication and intelligence uncommon to men's publications before or since.
PLAYBOY's groundbreaking combination of lifestyle and editorial content has featured contributions from some of the most important names of the journalistic, business and entertainment worlds, including Marshall McLuhan, Carl Bernstein, Bob Woodward, Alex Haley, Martin Luther King, Jr. (his last published work before his death), Shel Silverstein, Lenny Bruce, David Halberstam, Nat Hentoff, P.G. Wodehouse, Vladimir Nabokov, James Baldwin, Kenneth Tynan, Herbert Gold, T.C. Boyle, Ken Purdy, W. Somerset Maugham, Vladimir Nabokov and Gore Vidal, as well as local writers and Palanca Award winners, Butch Dalisay, Krip Yuson, Mike Marasigan and Susan S. Lara.
Literary icons who have had their works published in the pages of PLAYBOY, many exclusively, include Stephen King, Chuck Palahniuk, Ian Fleming, Roald Dahl, Ernest Hemingway, John Steinbeck, Jack Kerouac, Arthur C. Clarke, Ray Bradbury, Joyce Carol Oates, Tom Clancy, Margaret Atwood, Michael Crichton and John Updike.
PLAYBOY has featured some of the most beautiful women in the world, from its girl-next-door Playmates to celebrities like Marilyn Monroe, Cindy Crawford, Charlize Theron, Jessica Alba, Denise Richards, Mariah Carey, Madonna, Pamela Anderson, Ursula Andress, Kim Basinger, Shannen Doherty, Brooke Burke, Gena Lee Nolin, Charisma Carpenter, Drew Barrymore, Daryl Hannah, Naomi Campbell, Bo Derek, Katarina Witt, Stephanie Seymour, Farrah Fawcett and Sharon Stone.

Animax's LaMB animated movie - blog feature and review
To celebrate the premiere of LaMB in Animax tonight at 8pm (Manila Time), I'm publishing a short feature about the 1st animated movie project by Animax Asia and script written by a Filipino, Carmelo Juinio. It was a great timing that I received an invitation to watch the press screening of LaMB in Greenbelt MyCinema few weeks ago, and I was right that Carmelo will be there and will watch the animated movie for the first time. Carmelo wrote the story of LaMB and it was his winning entry in the Animax animation script writing contest, and in all entries in the world, they picked up and granted an animated movie using Carmelo's story about people being laminated and preserving its beauty.
Here's my video interview with Carmelo Juinio, he reveals to me that he is a freelancer or a professional bum, a college drop out in FEU and a freelance computer programmer, and in this video he shares to us his vision about laminating people, the big influence of music in making this story, the strength of writing it and funny times during the days of working on the script after 5 years storing it in his vault.
Also I just met Greg Ho, VP and General Manager of Animax, and it was great to meet him again, and he just shared that he did convince his boss to materialize this idea and he even volunteer to monitor everything during the production. And he just love the story of Carmelo, and with that story they created it more darker and fitted for the culture of SE Asians. He said that they are not sure if there will be a follow up of this project in producing animated movies, but Greg's final note was, If this is a success, then expect more Animax produced anime show in the future. And oh wait, Greg told me that this movie is made of FLASH based animation. And produced paper less, means all digital.
screen caps from the movie
After some intermission and watching the behind the scene, they just showed the LaMB animation starting from an accident occured in the lamination laboratory, they just cut it and then the intro video of the animated movie shows up. Featuring some clips and also fast introduction of each characters. Then I saw the characters moving and talking and because of that I'm very familiar with the quality and style for FLASH animation, I just can't help my eyes remove it and vision turn out to be very technical, visually. But I just removed that concept after seeing some 3D and CGI on the screen. So I said to myself, ahhhhhhhh. Me and Inquirer.net's Alex Villafania, my cinema seat mate, exchanges short review during the screening. Then I noticed that the 2D flash design is showing up, then over laps of 3D and CGI stuff covering and also being used in the background. The filtering of the movie is can be seen, but I'm not sure if it is visible in the small tv screen. I'm turning very technical already, and because it is made digitally, we just can't avoid sharing on what we see. They blended the flash animation with 3D and CGI and I think they used the 2D of Flash for the characters and the 3D and CG for the background and other components of the movie. To think of it that way, the makers of this animation is a genius!
Josie Ho, Vanness Wu, and Tanaka Chie
The dubbing for Vanness Wu and Josie Ho are matched for their character, I'm kinda feel weird everytime I hear Josie Ho talk, looks like that she's reading something, and maybe its the script. Vaness Wu's english language for the movie is perfect also, but I just can't stop noticing some delay in the lips and mouth movement of the character when speaking in the animation. But I hope they saw that too and re-edit it, but I'm not sure if theres a slight delay of audio duirng our screening. Vanness Wu (Dr. Jack Griswold) and Josie Ho ( Keiko Suzuki) provides the english and mandarin/cantonese language, while Tanaka Chie dubs the character Keiko Suzuki in Mandarin
The great thing for this movie is the main storyline and how the story goes, the story started from everything and it will never confuse a viewer, because the introduction of each character is done well, character development occurs in every scene, were you learn more of the character's personality and history, and also discover their main role in the LaMB storyline.
The use of branded entertainment can be seen mostly in the entire film. From music, props, wardrobe and even personalities. The greatest branded entertainment ( a form of advertisement placement in a film using existing products) are the music of Click Five and Simple Plan, the band Simple Plan is in the movie and they are fully in CGI as a band. The wardrobe of the character Eve of LaMB is designed by Vivienne Tam.
· LaMB to feature two exclusive dresses designed by Vivienne Tam in the animation TV feature
· LaMB protagonist Eve dons the Vivienne Tam designs in the animation which will be made into actual dresses for an exclusive showcase at LaMB launch events in March 2009 across Asia
· Ready-to-wear versions of the dresses are in the Fall/Winter 2008 Collection from Vivienne Tam, the fashion house responsible for gowns worn by Hollywood stars Halle Berry, Ashley Judd, Hayden Panettiere, Heather Graham and Ashanti
The only flaw of this movie is the non-sync of the mouth of the character while talking, and the fast pace of some scenes, I'm not just sure if it will be much better to watch it on TV, because I saw the movie in a big screen in Greenbelt MyCinema, sometimes syncing the audio and video to a projected big screen is sometimes be delayed. The animated movie is one awesome piece of animated movie that merges different kinds of media.
But my over all review will be, this animation feature has a ground breaking success in stitching different kinds of media and the big collaboration of people in the industry makes the job more easier. LaMB is the first and I know many will follow on its foot step. I'm supporting this because our Pinoy friend, Carmelo Juinio created the story and I know it will inspire a lot of young audience if they watch the movie.
here are some facts about the LaMB
· Simple Plan's 'I Can Wait Forever' as title track, along with The Click Five's 'Summertime' feature within LaMB

Realme C3 Review; A Decent Entry-level Phone
By Mudassar Jehangir / Mobile Reviews
Realme C3 is the sequel to a popular entry-level phone C2 of 2019. This time, the successor lands in two different form factors, one carries a dual camera on the rear side, and the second one comes with the triple camera setup. Apart from the camera, there are several upgrades this time; a 5000 mAh battery, Android 10, and realme's own UI are the highlighting features.
We reviewed the triple camera variant that has everything else similar to the dual-lens version. Let's start our review to know more about this device.
Realme C3 specs
Display: 6.4 inches IPS LCD
OS: Android 10, Realme UI 1.0
Chipset: Mediatek Helio G70
RAM/ROM: 3GB/32GB
Camera (rear): 12MP + 2MP + 2MP
Camera (front): 5MP
The design language of Realme C3, like the predecessor, revolves around youth, and this is the reason this latest iteration carries the funky color scheme featuring Frozen Blue and Blazing Red.
C2 had the diamond cut pattern on the rear side, but this time, the polycarbonate body exhibits sun rays seemingly originating from the triple camera setup. And, a unique wavy pattern on the rear panel ensures the smudge-free surface without the hassle of hiding the phone's beauty under the silicon cover.
The front is a Gorilla Glass 3 protected screen of 6.5 inches mini drop LCD that offers an HD resolution, 720 x 1600 px precisely. The size is bigger and ideal for gamers and movie maniacs; however, the display struggles outdoors even at full brightness. We noticed the indoor experience adequate at well over 50% brightness level, but it is otherwise under the sun that makes it highly inconvenient to look at.
Realme C3's isn't the crispiest display on the market, but it is fairly decent to watch content at its HD screen. The display setting area modestly offers only the color temperature option; the screen vividness can not be altered, though.
The bezels are nearly perfect for an entry-level device. The chin is comparatively bigger than the sides and top.
There is a Dark mode, which is still a beta feature yet on C3, but it does the job since the OS skin is based on Android 10 on this phone.
Overall, it looks sturdy and feels very comfortable in hands, though with 195gms, it's a bit weighty.
Performance and battery
It is a Mediatek Helio G70 gaming chipset under the hood that is built for entry-level phones and surprisingly this one goes head to head with some of the mid-range contenders. The AnTuTu ranking (177581) shows it equals the Redmi Note 8 (177451) but is a little behind the Honor 9X (181341), Vivo S1 Pro (181778), and Huawei Y9s 2019 (178183). In fact, it is far better in scores than last year's Samsung Galaxy A20 and A30.
Our unit had 3GB RAM and 32GB internal storage. Depending upon the market, there are 2GB and 4GB RAM variants available as well, with 32GB and 64GB internal storage.
The G70 chipset is manufactured on the 12nm technology that Mediatek has also used in Helio G90 and G90T. The latter has already proven its gaming prowess in the Redmi Note 8 Pro in the mid-range category. On Realme C3, the CPU is further supported by Mali G52 GPU and Game Space.
During our gaming experience, we hardly noticed any major frame drop while playing PUBG at HD settings, which is highly unusual with the entry-level phones.
Considering the price of this phone, a noticeable lag at the time of switching apps in the middle of a gaming session is quite normal. We also noticed aggressive RAM management on the pattern of Infinix and Tecno phones, which keeps killing the idle apps for releasing resources for the on-screen activity.
Realme C3 comes with a number of tempting features, including face unlock and fingerprint scanning that function as expected. The device is splash-resistant, but don't take it as something closer to IP67 water-resistant rating. It may only survive a minor rain shower.
Realme C3 boasts a 5000 mAh battery that is large enough to take you through an entire day, no matter if you play games or use TikTok at frequent intervals. It charges in nearly 3 hours with the supplied 10W charger. An hour of continuous PUBG session on a 4G connection can eat away 16% of the battery power.
For lesser gaming and social media enthusiasts, the phone can easily survive for over two days.
Our four hours battery test drained 42% of the juice out of the battery. You can have a look at the details in the following graph.
This mammoth battery can also serve as your power bank with a reverse feature onboard. With OTG cable, you can charge any other mobile device or accessory, but you might need to wait a little longer to see the receiving device extracting some juice from 1.3A of the source. It's a slow transfer of energy that requires a little patience.
The device also allows you to keep using 4G data while you are on a GSM call.
C3 sports Real Sound technology that gets active by pairing earphones. Keeping in view the trend among youth, Realme has colored the equalizer accordingly that amplifies the loudness and enriches the sound experience through various preset or user-based settings. You can further use the karaoke toggle key for an amazing experience on this budget device.
Realme C3 features three lenses on the rear side, a 12MP main sensor, a 2MP portrait lens, and a 2MP macro lens able to shoot from 4cm away. On the front, there is a 5MP selfie camera hidden inside the mini notch. A flash is present on the backside; there is no LED flash on the front, though.
The default camera app in realme's latest OS inherits a couple of arrangements from the old ColorOS, especially the bottom bar that shows off different shooting modes. It ends on the extreme right at the 'More' button, which houses additional modes like 'Slow-mo', 'Ultra macro', 'Expert' etc.
Zoom buttons, HDR, Chroma Boost, and Filter, are placed where you would normally find them in ColorOS's camera app.
Day images
Despite being an entry-level phone, C3 is seemingly consistent with its camera performance. It captures true colors in the daylight unless the Chroma Boost is active. It preserves the details very nicely. The contrasts are good, although noise can vary depending upon the light condition; it remains under acceptable limits even under the low light.
Like earlier times, Chroma Boost is a toggle key meant to enhance the colors, contrast, and exposure, which it does very decently. Similarly, HDR is very functional for highlighting and balancing the dark and white areas.
It can go as high as the 4x zoom that is very acceptable under the daylight. At 2x, the results are not much grainy, but the impact is noticeable at 4x. However, it does not get messy at this level, though.
Night Images
C3 does not feature a night mode; however, the standard lens can take some reasonable pictures under good light. Lens flare is visible, but it isn't as bad as Samsung does with most of its Galaxy A-series phones.
Well-lit subjects are shot with a fair amount of detail, but the noise level isn't as friendly as it is during the day shots. Overall, the colors are captured naturally, and its internal AI algorithm does not seem to overdo the processing.
Zooming, either 2x or 4x does not work properly at night, even under good light. The images are blurry, most of the time, and lack details, which is something very expected from this entry-level device. However, the image quality at 1x is splendid.
Selfie, Portraits, and Macro
Selfies in the standard mode register a good amount of facial detail. The exposure is on the higher side, which also whitens the skin area, making it look fairer than usual. The HDR mode is helpful to an extent, but most of its impact is visible on the background of the subject.
The front camera doesn't quite judge the edges of the subject neatly. Most of the time, we found it merging a portion of the background with the subject.
The Realme 5 Pro didn't impress us with its 2MP macro lens, but this smaller device has all the ingredients to convince us that a macro sensor this small can also work. From 4 cm away, with stable hands, it can take some interesting shots under good light. Soon as the light goes down, so does the charm of the macro sensor.
The portrait mode with human and non-human subjects works the way it should. The edge mapping of the subjects is unlike the front camera. The 2MP lens does a reliable job when the light is suitable.
C3 can shoot 720 and 1080p videos from the rear as well as the front camera and interestingly you can also make slow-mo videos at 480 resolution which is icing on the cake. Being an entry-level phone, the quality of the videos isn't questionable.
Looking for a budget-friendly solution that works is always a tough job. The segment is filled with phones like Samsung Galaxy A10, Huawei Y6s, Infinix Hot 8, and many others but it is the freshly made gaming chipset of C3 and an acceptable camera performance that gives it an edge over the rest. There are many other positives attached to the C3 that might be enough to overshadow the poor display quality outdoors. But if you are the kind of user who spends most of the time in the field, under the sun, you may look for other options.
The overall camera result of Tecno Spark 5 Pro is much better than what we have seen in Realme C3 and the latter also excels in the phone's display quality. But if you are ready to splurge a little more money, you can find Infinix Note 7 to be a more satisfying device that comes with a good camera and overall performance. The only downside is that Realme C3 excels in battery consumption rate whereas Infinix Note 7 is quick in discharging its battery.

Q: Tfint (Interleved 2 of 5) not recognized on Panasonic FZ-F1 using UWP Sample I am using this example, along with a Panasonic FZ-F1, which is currently restricted to build 1511 (10586) because a newer version of Windows 10 Mobile Enterprise in not available yet.
The issue I've encountered is that it seems to be unable to identify TfInt (I2of5). It successfully scans other barcodes with no issue. The included app (which appears to be in Silverlight), Barcode Reader has a demo mode, which seems to work fine with I2of5. However, in order for it to work correctly, I had to set the barcode length (10 in this case). I don't see a way to set this using the UWP sample.
I set TfInt as an ActiveSymbology...
await claimedScanner.SetActiveSymbologiesAsync(
    new List<uint> { BarcodeSymbologies.TfInt }
);

But without being able to assign the length, it doesn't seem to recognize I2of5.
Suggestions as a work around are welcome.

A: Win10 Ver1703 for FZ-F1 has been available.
http://pc-dl.panasonic.co.jp/toughpad/windows/handheld_tablet.html#F1_sched
http://cpt.pc-dlp.panasonic.co.jp/toughpad/download/osv/FZ-F1_Upgrade1511to1703_r1.0.pdf

A: Panasonic ended up swapping out the hardware. The reason the barcode didn't work is that it requires that the symbology to be configured in an app on the device that is pre-installed. This app wasn't present on any of our devices because somehow we received test units.

Kupa, can you tell us about your childhood?
I grew up and lived in Zimbabwe until I was five. In Zimbabwe, everyone looked like me, we all sounded the same, spoke the same languages, everything was familiar and I took comfort in that. Coming to Australia was like landing on the moon. Here I was, plunged into a place where people sounded different, looked different and spoke different languages. It's fair to say Zimbabwe and Australia are on opposite ends of the cultural spectrum so I felt incredibly out of place.
I wanted to have straight blonde hair instead of a bushy Afro! I just wanted to fit in. I soon learnt that I couldn't fit in and nor should I.
Differences should be celebrated and not despised. After all, what's important is who we are on the inside. It's not a culture, religion or way of life that defines who we are, but rather our shared humanity. That's the greatest lesson my childhood taught me.
How were you treated here in Australia?
It differed. Most people embraced my family and me; we were welcomed with open arms. But here and there, I would be reminded of my differences and experience racism. One time when I was at primary school, my hair was braided in traditional African twists. There was nothing unique about this hair-style because I've had it a million times over. But one day a boy next to me pointed to my hair and said it looks like I've got worms on my head! The next day he said my skin colour makes me look like poo. I felt so hurt by these words. But even in the midst of hurt, it is important to stand against racism — by telling people that it is simply not ok.
I don't experience racism amongst my peers because they've had exposure and know that there's more that brings us together than separates us. The racism I experience now is mostly from complete strangers who pass judgments based solely on my appearance.
People should confront racism even when it does not concern them. Imagine if we, as a nation, could have a culture where we just do not tolerate racism.

I am especially passionate about protecting the rights of others in conflict zones. I have always held true to the belief that no child asked for a war, therefore their rights must be protected. I am a young ambassador for Save The Children, who work incredibly hard in this area.
Do you ever get overwhelmed by these big issues?
It's easy to lose hope, but you have to hold on to your ideals. I believe in the motto: you never give up until it's done. I let that guide me because if we throw in the towel, the ones that need help most will never receive it.
Young people should never be shy to raise their voices and be advocates for change: age is not a barrier to creating change and change can be localised to your community or reach the entire world. Last November I lobbied the government to adopt the Safe Schools Declaration, the one that prohibits the bombing of education facilities and those containing children, and I spoke at the Kids off Nauru Rally.
What are you plans after school?
I am planning on studying law with international relations, and to work as a human rights lawyer (yes, I want to be Amal Clooney!) and then a diplomat. Michelle Obama inspires me for her passion, determination and resilience.
I hang out with friends, play board games and I'm learning to make cheese!

Varsha, can you tell us about a personal hurdle?
Surprisingly, one of the hardest things I have to constantly overcome is introducing myself to people. As a stutterer, something as simple as my name requires the same emotional strength needed for public speaking.
What events have inspired you?
I find some of the most inspiring events to be academic talks by authors such as Rebecca Traister on her text Good and Mad which I recently attended. The discourse surrounding women's anger as a weapon to transform the way we perceive political discussion really opened my eyes to the nuances of the feminist movement, which make it far more complex than simply fixing the pay gap and ostensible equality.
Spaces and dialogues need to be created for third space cultures, and as a women of colour I am immensely passionate in opening conversations about balancing tradition with the normalcy of Australian society.
Who is someone that really inspires you?
The person I will be in 5…10… 20 years from now inspires me. The potential, the passion and the hope of my future self drives me to keep pushing for what's important.
What do you do if you are feeling overwhelmed or defeated?
I take a break. I am an individual with valid feelings, valid hurt, valid pain and cannot be advocating for everyone else all the time. Spending time on myself can feel a little selfish sometimes, but time to work on my mental health and my hobbies, and to connect with people, puts me in a better state of mind to share my hope and optimism again.
Varsha wears denim jacket by Cotton On; top by Cotton On; pants by Faithfull
What can I do to create change?
Be engaged! Be educated! Be VOCAL! Change comes from the feeling of discomfort — challenging those around you and expressing your passion loudly is an important first step in creating tangible change.
How to connect with other passionate individuals?
We exist in a world with information at our fingertips. Use the Internet to find opportunities, to participate in local projects and organisations you're interested in. Share ideas in Facebook groups with like-minded people. This can turn collective passion into real outcomes.
Plan International Youth Activist Series (YAS) is a leadership development opportunity for young people.
I write poetry and express myself through art in my spare time and as nerdy as it sounds, a creative outlet helps with processing real emotions and brings a lot of light to a world which can otherwise feel a little dark.

Can you tell us a little about your background?
Before the war, I had a normal life — a complete life. I went to school, hung out with friends, and lived in a big house with my parents and two younger sisters. Then the fighting got really bad, and it became a stressful life. I can remember horrible stories of things that happened every day over the five years we lived through the war.
Every day you'd hear someone screaming or dying. There was danger outside: it's as simple as that. We never knew if we would make it back home safe. Every time we did something — go to school, go to work, visit a friend — I would be calling my Mum, "Mum, it's ok, I'm alive. I made it alive." Constantly checking in on each other, constantly worried and scared. But we had to try and have some kind of normal life. We had to still live, even though we didn't know if our school or friends would be there the next day.
Friends had been bombed and teachers crushed under collapsing buildings — all while I was trying to study for my last year of school. I was in my final year at university where I was teaching graphic design and Photoshop while studying economics and then we had to flee.
In 2017, we left Aleppo to escape the war and moved to Australia. I live in Sydney now. We lost the life we had there, along with many friends and family who were killed or relocated to other parts of the world. My best friend now lives in Sweden, and I don't know when I'll see her again.
People who have been forced to flee are just as human as everyone else, but have had really bad luck in their country. They have been forced to resettle somewhere; they are not 'going shopping' for a new country. If Aleppo was safe, of course I would still want to be there. That's where my home, school, friends and family were. It's where my father had his business were. We lost everything. We had it all; we had a good life and then we lost everything.
What was the hardest thing about arriving in Australia?
Being separated from my friends, family, cousins, my life — everything that I had known. We didn't know anything about how rules and systems worked here. We had to learn a totally new way of thinking and communicating. Dealing with Centrelink! Lots of rules that I still don't really understand.
Moving from another country, we didn't have any rental history the Australian system could understand, so even finding a place to live was hard. We moved from our big house in Aleppo that had a beautiful garden and our own bedrooms to a very small space in Sydney. My sisters and I all share a room. We miss having our own space, but it's all we can afford right now. It's hard going from a life working and making money that you can spend on enjoyment, to working and only just getting by.
The language barrier was really hard. When we first arrived in Sydney, I was shocked by how fast everyone spoke! I couldn't understand anything. I avoided opening conversations with people, but after a few months of learning and practising the language, I felt more comfortable.

If I'm feeling overwhelmed or defeated, I just remember that tomorrow is a new day. I really understand what it means to appreciate every moment you are living. If one day is bad, you have to believe the next day will be better.
What are you most passionate about, right now?
Australia is a good country to start a new life. Right now I am passionate about becoming an architect, and applying for internships and scholarships.
I'm also passionate about helping other refugees. Settlement Services International (SSI) helped me get a job in Australia for UNHCR, the national partner of the UN Refugee Agency. For the past two years I've been supporting the team to raise awareness and funds for refugees under UNHCR's care around the world. UNHCR helped my family, and it's a good feeling to help other refugee families.
What are you proud of?
Myself. I'm proud of what I'm doing here, and all that I've accomplished. Life is full of opportunity, and I feel like I can do anything I want. I've gone through the hard times, and survived. Every second that passes is important and a gift, and I'm trying to make the most of it. When I came here, I had no idea what I was supposed to do or how to build a new life. No one helped me make any decisions, I realised everything myself.
I spend time with my friends and the community I've built here — people I've met at university, or Scouts, or even some people I knew from Aleppo — I worked hard to make that happen. I always try to keep in touch over the phone or on Skype with my friends and family who are scattered around the world now. Basketball is a big love and I spend time exploring Sydney: bushwalks, sightseeing, road trips, and I love the beaches here. I'm actually pretty busy just with my studies but I enjoy it!

Congregations seeking to transform focus on being innovative and not just operational. Way too many congregations function only in an operational dimension. This is often a time when they are functioning at subsistence level conducting the basic operations of a congregation–worship, fellowship, care, and a few programs. But, they appear to be "paying the rent" rather than investing in an innovative venture.
Transforming congregations focus on the new things God might be calling them to do. They seek to innovate and not to simply do things the way they have typically done them when they were in an operational mode.

Q: MySQL Virtual Column Wrong Values i really loves mysql virtual generated columns but am having a small issue with it am trying to make a virtual column from a varchar column where i extract the number as the following.
DB::statement('ALTER TABLE reservations ADD number_vc  BIGINT AS (REVERSE(REVERSE(number) << 0)) ');

my issue is in this part REVERSE(REVERSE(number) << 0))
as if you tried now to run this part of sql in any sql editor as the following
SELECT REVERSE(REVERSE("A100") << 0)

it will generate the following

**What Am Trying To Achieve **
if the string was A100 after reverse i need 100 also the schema of the varchar not always one character it may be like this
A100 , AA100 , AB100
**Edit 2 :Am Afraid i did go production a week a go and here is the result **

A: With mySQL8+ you can do this :
SELECT REGEXP_REPLACE('A100', '\D', '');

It's basically replacing non digits characters with nothing using a regexp.


Most of the book discovery strategies we've discussed on the Author Marketing Institute can be done from the comfort of your own computer. This makes sense because you're marketing a digital product in a digital age. But since not all e-retail platforms operate using new digital practices, your success off of Amazon may require some travel and face-to-face interaction.
As we've previously mentioned, sales and popularity on Amazon is heavily tied into the website's algorithm. You'll be displayed on more searches if you sell more books at a higher price. You'll stick higher up in the sales rankings if your sales are spread out over a few days. While Amazon does some editorial choosing for its Deal of the Day promotions, most of the books it features are part of an automated process. The other ebook retailers use some automation, but there's also a lot more selection by members of each site's merchandizing staff.
First and foremost, merchandizers for iBooks, Nook Press, and Kobo are likely to choose books that are already selling well. Unless you're constantly ranking high on those platforms to begin with, you won't get chosen during that stage of the game. However, if you meet and connect with these merchandizers, your face-to-face efforts may be well rewarded with prominent placement.
Before Amazon dominated the ebook landscape, getting featured online or in a book store was the result of negotiations between a publisher and a book store or website. While Amazon usually doesn't take payments for features of that kind, several of the other retailers continue to negotiate with publishers for online placement of books. If the non-Amazon retailers could get paid for every space on their site, then that's likely what they'd do, but there are simply too many spaces available and too many readers hunting for their next fix. When the retailers figured this out, they began letting self-published authors jockey for space.
Non-Amazon retailers get plenty of emails requesting placement or marketing assistance, but you get a lot more impact from a face-to-face meeting. It's easy to dismiss an email address to the digital wastebasket, but when you see a person and hear their pitch, you can't help but want to assist. Even though reps at non-Amazon platforms don't always have a gleaming reputation, these are people who love books and want authors to succeed. When they see that you're an author who writes well, understands marketing, and wants to keep putting books into reader hands, you'll be well on your way to a featured promotion.
As authors have experienced decreased revenue from going exclusive on Amazon, they've sought out improved earnings from the other platforms. While some tactics that work on Amazon like the use of keywords carry over to Apple, Kobo, and Nook Press, getting featured is the only surefire way to sell more books through the other retailers. It's an absolute must for multi-platform success.
Meeting with merchandizers is probably the simplest of the book discovery strategies, but it will require travel, money, and time. The first step is finding out where the representatives of the various platforms will be taking meetings or setting up a booth. The major retailers like iBooks, Nook Press, and Kobo are a fixture at big-time conferences like Book Expo America and the London Book Fair. Since these events are so big and crowded, you may want to consider trying to strike up a conversation during a smaller conference.
To find where the reps will be, start by emailing each retailer to ask. Kobo will be the quickest to respond with the most human attention, but you may be able to get the info you need in this manner from iBooks and Nook Press as well. If you're unsuccessful, check out the list of speakers at writing conferences in your area. The events with a slight self-publishing focus are the likeliest candidates for merchandizing rep attendance.
Once you've found the closest conference that will feature representatives from the retailers, save up for your trip and take the necessary time off work. Depending on the size of the conference, you may need to schedule a meeting to get face time with the reps. In most cases, however, you can skip a presentation or two and go chat up the reps while most of the attendees are listening to the speakers.
You'll want to know your pitch and have a set of business cards handy to distribute. You should know approximately how many books you've sold, and you should be prepared to bring up your book on a mobile device (on that retailer's platform). The better your book looks and the better reviews you've obtained, the more likely it is that the rep will want to hear you out. Beyond the pitch part of the encounter, you should be ready to have a regular old conversation. Reps want to hear your story and know that you're a human being, as opposed to just an email address. That way, when you follow up with them, they'll remember exactly who you are.
After the conference, follow up with the rep as soon as you can. Make sure to provide any information the rep requested from you, such as your title, the link to your book, and any other marketing materials. Don't be a pest, but make sure to follow up just enough to get your book featured. After you've secured the feature, check back in with the rep every couple of months to see if you can get your book back in a prominent place.
There are ways to connect with reps without meeting them in person. Perhaps you know a friend who has a connection with a rep, and this person can act as an intermediary for the two of you. But if you don't have friends in high places, you're going to need to make the effort to introduce yourself.
Beyond connecting with reps, you never know who you'll meet at these conferences and other events. In addition to getting a foothold on the non-Amazon platforms, you may make other contacts who will lead to additional sales opportunities. The only way to make those connections, however, is for you to leave your living room and get your face out there.

Timbers stadium gets vote delay, September deadline
Posted on April 24, 2009 by Neil deMause
Those concerns over saving Memorial Coliseum have led to another delay in the Portland Timbers stadium vote: Portland mayor Sam Adams and team owner Merritt Paulson agreed yesterday to indefinitely delay the city council vote until a site has been worked out for a new minor-league baseball stadium that won't require razing the coliseum. The city tried to see if it could squeeze in a stadium just north of the coliseum ("It won't fit," said the mayor); it's now revisiting the idea of building it in Lents Park in residential Southeast Portland, something that was floated earlier and rejected in favor of a downtown location.
The delay is apparently an attempt to placate city commissioner Dan Saltzman — if you're wondering why members of the Portland city council are called "commissioners," yeah, me too — who is the swing vote required to approve the $88.8 million deal. Unlike some other swing votes, though, Saltzman isn't asking for cash, and isn't even dead opposed to knocking down the coliseum if it comes to that: "If I'm going to make a decision to demolish the coliseum, I'd like to do that knowing there's been some process to look at the options," he told The Oregonian.
Meanwhile, Paulson levied the most direct threat yet if the stadium deal doesn't get done, saying, "If we come to September and we don't have a deal in place, then we're not going to have Major League Soccer in Portland." We'll see if he's any more serious about that than some other sports team owners.
Paulson: Forget baseball, let's talk soccer
Paulson: All bets are off if stadium site is changed
Portland: We'll do MLS stadium with or without baseball

Civics lesson of the day: Portland uses the "commission form" of city government, where each city commissioner directly runs a department (or two or three) of the city's government. Which, basically, sets up a situation where you have 5 captains and one ship.
Naturally this leads to all kinds of horse-trading and squabbling when it comes to actually getting things done since one city commissioner can slow/block things down pretty effectively if they want to. It's worth paying attention to.
You've never heard of this because Portland is the last big city in the U.S. to use this form of government.

Architect (1953)
The internationally acclaimed French architect Dominique Perrault is a major figure of his generation. His architectural language calls for both rigour and simplicity, rejecting the idea of fracture which was especially fashionable in the 1980s and 1990s. The architect creates places rather than buildings. The sobriety of his style, the primary volumes he uses (squares, rectangles, circles), and the spareness applied to the treatment of smooth surfaces all contribute to the idea of the disappearance of architecture, a theme broached before him by Mies van der Rohe and Louis Kahn. Playing with contradictory and complementary notions—opaqueness/transparency, monumentality/human scale--, Dominique Perrault regards the landscape as a material in its own right, coming to terms with territory. He has accordingly declared: "One day artists declared the death of art; it is time that architects brought to the fore the disappearance, dissolution and deletion of architecture in favour of a way of looking at things which mixes and mingles city and nature, in order to develop a landscape without exclusion, made of everything and for everyone, a positive chaos".
With degrees in architecture, city-planning and history obtained between 1978 and 1980, Dominique Perrault (1953) opened his Paris agency in 1981. He drew attention to himself in no time by winning many architectural prizes: in 1983, his first work, the Someloir factory at Châteaudun, won the first prize for Architecture et Maître d'Ouvrage, and in 1990 the Hôtel Industriel Berlier (1984-88) won the Equerre d'Argent and the first AMO prize. In 1997 he was awarded the Mies van der Rohe prize for the National Library of France. Other noteworthy works followed, such as the extension to the Court of Justice of the European Communities in Luxembourg (1996-2008), the Ewha Seoul Women's University in Korea (2008), and the Olympic Tennis Centre in Madrid (2009). In 2009, an exhibition at the Centre Pompidou retracing his career helped to confirm his international standing.
