It's your beloved one's birthday. You're contacting your friends, asking for ideas; you're racking up your brains. Or you could even be asking your significant other, rather subtly, what he or she wants. The perfect birthday gift.
Well, the tension is over!
Here you will find the best ideas, which will bring a wide grin to your loved one's face, and they will forever remember it.
Before picking out a dress, we keep in our mind the event, right? If we're going to a party we'll get party wear. If we want something to sleep in we'll look for comfy PJ's.
Everything you buy, it has a purpose behind it. You can't just go to the shop and get random stuff, since different things have different purposes.
In the same way, before shopping for a gift, you have to keep in mind the occasion. Is it anniversary? Birthday?
You need to find something suitable for the occasion. For anniversaries its quite usual to get flowers.
For his or her birthday you need to get the perfect gift.
A simple pencil can be given and it can be special. Relationships are made up of so many memories and special moments. These special moments are linked up with worldly things.
For example, you could've shared your first kiss at a bridge. That bridge signifies a special moment that the both of you shared together.
That sounds normal, seems like a pretty small thing for a birthday. But only the both of you know the importance behind this small act. Only the both of you know what the true meaning behind this key chain is.
This, small souvenir of your love, will touch her in the most affectionate way possible. It is a small secret between the both of you.
In this way, if you really want to win her heart, link up objects with the best of your memories.
Another thing that you could do is get stuff with text or numbers embedded into it.
You could get a key chain with your names written together, or a pendant with the date on which you got together could be written.
All these things add a little touch of specialty to your gift and make it all the more personal and romantic.
A photo frame with a loving quote or a birthday cake with your loved ones name on it should also do the trick!
But what if you can't think of anything? No worries.
There are other things that you could do, too.
Maybe you just got into a relationship recently, and you don't want to do something too fancy since you don't know each other all that well yet. Or maybe you just can't think of anything.
In this case, a simple birthday gift would do too.
For men, it's common to get a wallet, or a watch. You could do that, too. Get him a nice leather wallet. Or an expensive watch. Well it doesn't have to necessarily be expensive, but get something good. Don't get if from the thrift shop!
You could even get him a shaving kit, or tickets to his favorite game. All these things are really nice and thoughtful, and will definitely be appreciated by your loved one.
For girls, jewelry and make up is very common indeed. Get her a nice set of earrings, or a decent bracelet.
It will definitely be appreciated.
Another thing that could be done for both genders is a cake. Your loved one bakes a cake for you – doesn't that sound perfect?
There are ready made cake mixes that are really simple and easy to make. You could make it with your boyfriend or girlfriend, or you could surprise them by making it for them.
Accompanied with a surprise birthday party – things would be terrific.
You don't have to necessarily throw a big surprise bash. Just surprise them by appearing at the most unexpected time.
Whatever you do, if you put your heart into it, then it will definitely be appreciated. Whatever gift you give, it will make him or her happy, because they know that you care.
Giving a gift shows that you care, and that you remembered her or his birthday. It doesn't matter what you give, all that matters is that you made an effort and you tried.
So don't stress about it! And definitely don't cross your budget. Keep in mind how much you have to spend and how much you can afford to spend.
Whatever you do, I promise you it will be amazing.

We can't stop the hurt, but here's how we can help our kids cope with trying physical and emotional times.
Whether or not we like to admit it, our kids will get hurt through the course of their lives.
As toddlers, there will be boo-boos, shots, scrapes, falls, bumps, bruises, separation anxiety, allergies, food intolerance, and lovies getting lost.
Once in school, not only do you have the physical hurts, but the emotional hurts get a little bigger: friends ignoring them, embarrassment over not knowing the answer in class, getting picked last in gym, and of course, literal growing pains.
I haven't gotten to the teen years as a parent yet, but I can't imagine handling hurt gets any easier once you add dating, hormones and driving to the mix.
Then there are the hurts that come from the world around them: divorce, deaths in the family and ills of this earth, from natural disasters to child poverty.
Whew – it's tough to be a kid!
In the 12 years I've been a parent, we've been through our fair share of disasters, both of the child-sized variety and the earth-shaking variety. If there's anything I've learned, it's that my adult rationale is not very comforting to a hurting child.
As parents, we desperately try to protect our children from any hurt, yet we often grossly underestimate their capabilities. By not being honest with my kids when their grandpa was dying, I was actually creating more stress and tension in my daughter (who is already quick to internalize pain), instead of opening the door for her to feel free enough to come talk to me at any point about all she's experiencing and how it relates to her life.
Of course, it's important to be age-appropriate in what we reveal, but in an effort to protect our kids, we too often prevent them from discovering some of the most important qualities of life.
This may seem simple and obvious, but it's the most often overlooked, especially when we parents are also hurting.
As referenced in point No. 1, the worst thing we can do is hide from our kids when they're hurting. No, I take that back; the worst thing you can do is make them feel guilt and/or shame for the emotions they're experiencing. But right after that, the worst thing you can do is to not be accessible to your kids.
As parents, we think we need to have all the answers.
Simply remember what your parents used to tell you when you were little: God gave you two ears and one mouth so you would listen twice as much as you speak. Just listen, or better yet, just sit in the same room next to each other and be still…and ready to offer a hug if needed.
3. Be willing to ask for help.
As much as we may like to think that we can fulfill every need of our child, that's always not the case.
As our children grow, so do their needs, which means we probably can't meet every single one on our own.
Be willing to ask others for help, whether that means meeting a practical need like having a meal brought to your house or an emotional one, like finding a family friend for your child to talk to if they don't feel comfortable coming to you in the moment. My mentor said one of the greatest gifts she gave her daughter during her teen years was surrounding her with amazing older women that she could turn to during those difficult times.
Sometimes in an effort to be "SuperParent," we miss out on being what our kids really need, the parent they've always known and loved. In times of hurting, kids don't want different, they want what they already know. The more you can focus on reminding them of what they know is true, the more they will understand that tragedy is a part of life and they too can triumph over the pain.

It is a sunny day. Also today is Valentines day. Lisa decided to go shopping with her boyfriend. She is eager to change her boyfriends appearance. At the same times, she also wants to change the dress style of herself.


Splash back to 1999 when Mobiles Disco was created by two Finnish people named Sampo and Aapo who later made Habbo Hotel in 2000. Mobiles Disco was a pixel disco game that was only opened on one day when there was a band that wanted to play.
So if you are bored and you don't want to build a disco... why not use Mobiles Disco?
On topic: Love it, looks great.
Wow. That's amazing. Dude, you rock at making maps like Viano city and Peekarica. Keep it up!
Wow this is a great to bad it will be removed soon due to V21.
yes, we know it will be.
could be converted to bricks easy though.
Yes but maps that will be removed will never be the same converted to bricks.
Yes they will be. This map is so small, I could convert it to a single brick.
I love the lighting. Plain and simple but a nice place for building.
Well yeah what I meant is you cant build it out of normal bricks and it being the same.
Speaking of this, where is the Habbo build?
It will be immediately released when V21 is done.


Have you ever been a cheerleader? Wanted to be a cheerleader? Well let me tell you a little secret… We are all cheerleaders. If you're a parent, a teacher, an SLP, a grandparent, a caregiver, YOU ARE A CHEERLEADER!
Our kids need encouragement. They need cheerleaders in their corner EVERY DAY! For the big accomplishments and the little accomplishments, they need that hip-hip-hooray!
So when I think of a cheerleader, I always think of pom-poms shaking and fun cheers that rhyme. Maybe it's my previous experience as a cheerleader, (nooooo… throwing back to the 70's)… but for many years, I have been using pom-poms during my therapy sessions and my kids LOVE them!!!! And because of this, I thought I would share a few pom-pom/cheerleading tips.
You can buy inexpensive pom-poms from Amazon, a local party store, Oriental Trading, etc. For $11, you can get a dozen (6 pairs). Trust me, they will be used a lot!
I like to use these during the beginning and end of a whole group therapy session. When starting a whole group circle activity, I usually use one of my poster activities, like the SCHOOL BUS POSTER, and I will sing HELLO SONGS – to the tune of Frère Jacques or Farmer in the Dell (John is here today, John is here today, Let's all shout "Hooray!" John is here today). During this time I will be shaking the pom-pom while encouraging everyone in the group to sing, "John is here today…" Sometimes I will let each student come up and hold the pom-pom, shake the pom-pom and sing, "John is here today." Most of the time, depending on abilities, I will have to do some hand-over-hand assistance (helping them hold and shake). I will also have to encourage the repeating of the song. For students who are not as verbal, I might be just working on the imitation of the shaking or maybe the last word of the rhyme (e.g. TODAY or HOORAY). I will sing the song, then NOT say that particular word and give a moment of wait-time to allow the student to respond (I hope that makes sense). Sometimes I will have multiple colors of pom-poms and ask students to make a choice or request a color… There are lots of ways to use a simple pom-pom to elicit/draw out language.
The second way I use the pom-pom during a whole group circle is at the very end of the lesson. I will say something positive to each student such as, "I like the way you were paying attention today" or "I loved the way you used your words today" or "You did such a good job following directions" (I'll be a little more specific in regards to what they were doing). Then I'll hold the pom-pom above their head and say, "hip-hip-hooray!" As I'm saying, "hip-hip-hooray, I will gently shake the pom-pom on top of their head or on the back of their neck. They LOVE this! I usually say, "HIP-HIP" and wait for them to follow with "HOORAY!" If you work with children on the spectrum, you will know that even this simple activity needs to be taught. It is not automatic that they will respond. Just know that the more you do these small types of activities (and use your more verbal students as models) the rest of the kids will eventually respond. Every student I have ever used pom-poms with (within one or two sessions) will respond positively; either with laughs and giggles or requesting that I do it again.
I hope this simple activity brings you and your students lots of language and lots of giggles! And remember, keep on cheering our little ones on!


At work? On vacation? No matter where you are, the Mini Plus keeps you up-to-date on what's happening at home with motion detection alerts. (Need to activate manually).
Mini Plus is rated 4.5 out of 5 by 182.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Rutabaga from Great inexpensive webcam. App quite unstable Webcam is packed with features and improves on the original Mini Camera. Motion detection with sensitivity adjustment, great night vision, solid overall picture quality. 2 way sound is improved with latest software update but still not great. The app is really the weak part. When starting, I usually get a crash "software exception" about 50% of the time. I need to close all programs on my cell phone and open the app again. Also sometimes the loading of a cameras view is slow or will crash (% loading climbs to 70-90% then reloads over and over). This is my main complaint about the unit and I wish Ezviz fixes this annoying issue about the app.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Nikki91 from Great Cameras! I tried other cameras prior to EZVIZ and was greatly disappointed. I didn't want to spend $200 a piece for my cameras (nest, etc.). I found my 1080p HD cameras with EZVIZ and bought two for half the cost of one of the more expensive brands. The cameras were easy to set-up and only took a few minutes. The video quality is great! The app was easy to set-up and add both of my cameras to. If there is internet in the house, and I have wifi or network service, I can log into my cameras at any time!
Rated 5 out of 5 by orrink from Amazing Little Camera I have two houses with one in Hawaii. I employed two Alarm Companies. Recently, I flew to Hawaii based on a false alarm. I have installed EZVIZ cameras in both properties and fired the alarm company in Hawaii. I can see what is going on in my house as notify the police faster than the alarm company can and did. The cameras are very high quality and I love getting notifications daily. The cameras plug into household current and would be useless if there is a power failure however. They are very sensitive and even react to auto lights coming on each day. I am very happy with this product and highly recommend them.
Rated 3 out of 5 by Redcrawl from Sound issues spoil a good product Great except the audio has a constant popping hiss sound when turned on. It masks all other sounds, making the audio function unusable. I tried moving it away from any interference and it didn't help. Also, EZVIZ is yet to develop a TRUE iPad app. The current app works on the iPad, but you can tell it's only really for the iPhone. One more sticking point is the cable cord and it's AC adapter. The usb cord plugs in to the adapter in such a way that the entire thing sticks out from the wall several inches. If they redesigned it so that the cord plugged in to the side or bottom of the adapter, it would make it easier to put furniture etc. up against the cord.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jason34 from Amazing Camera for the money! The Ezviz Mini Plus 1080p Wi-Fi camera is a great addition to your home or business. Whether you are using this for security, a baby monitor, or just to check in on your family while out of town on business. This camera has many great features that are listed below. 1. Items included. After receiving the mini HD camera, I noted the camera contains the following items: camera USB connector, separate power plug, instruction manual, quick start guide, and mounting hardware. 2. Setup and install. The setup and install was quite simple. Connect the USB connector to the camera, and download the the Ezviz camera app. Once the app is downloaded, it will ask you to create an account. The process was fast, and I then scanned the QR code on the back of the camera. Once the app has connected to the camera it will ask for you to connect to your wifi network. The entire connection process took about 5 minutes. You can also move the camera head up and down and it swivels on its base. Another nice feature is that the camera includes mounting hardware, and the base of the camera has a strong magnet. You can just set it on any metallic object and you are ready to go, with no assembly or mounting required. This is very useful if you are not handy with a drill or screw driver. 3. App and user interface. Overall the app interface is fairly simple. The menus are easy to understand and very straightforward. Once you launch the app the main camera screen appears. If you turn your phone horizontal, it will automatically change the camera to landscape view and you will see the camera full screen. The next menu at the bottom of the app is the messages menu. This is where all the message alerts and warnings are stored when the camera detected motion. The last menu button is the settings menu. Here you can change your account settings, the function settings, cloud play, and IFTTT settings. 4. Camera functionality. I have tried many security and WI-FI cameras around my home, but this one has amazing clarity in the day and night time. The motion tracking is exceptional, and can be set for different sensitivity levels. The two way voice communication is a great feature. I used it as a baby monitor in my girls room and the cameras pink color matched well with the room decor. This cameras wide angle lens is amazing. I set it on our fireplace mantle and its lens covered our entire downstairs with one camera! The camera also features cloud play functionality, which enables automatic recording and accessibility to those stored videos through the app anytime. Ezviz charges a small fee for for this feature, but this is a great option to have with the camera. Also another great feature, if you don't want to pay the subscription fee, the camera also accepts up to a 128GB micro SD memory card that records video directly to the card to be accessed later. This is a great feature if you just have over camera and don't want to pay the fee for the cloud play service. I really love that Ezviz gives you that option. I looked into getting other Wi-Fi cameras, but most of them require you to pay a monthly fee. 5. Smart integration. The camera also integrated with smart devices like Google Home and Amazon Echo. I am able to say"Alexa, turn off the camera," and it will put the camera in sleep mode. I can use the smart integration to make the camera sleep and wake up, which is nice, but it's very limited in that functionality. I wish there was a skill directly for the camera that enables additional functionality. Overall the Ezviz Mini Plus 1080p Wi-Fi Indoor Cloud Camera- Pink is an exceptional camera with great clarity, easy to use features, cloud accessibility, and smart home integration. It allows you to keep an eye on your home, or office connected to your Wi-Fi, or halfway around the world with just an internet connection. It offers two way communication that works great whether you want to use it as a baby monitor or just check in on your kids while your away on business. It is definitely the best camera I have used!
Rated 5 out of 5 by whoharris from Spectacular Picture I really like this little cam. I have an old Mini, which I really like, but the picture quality is night and day. When you zoom, you can actually make out details, which was tough with the old Mini. I have only had it hooked up for about a week and a half and time will tell. I have no issues with my Mini which I've had for over a year with no issues. The UI could make me happier with more options in settings. It's a bit of a hassle to find how to set sleep times, but since it's compatible with IFTTT, that can be taken care of. All in all, it's a great little cam and I would recommend it to anyone wanting a good indoor surveillance camera at a cost-conscious price.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Stormydae from Awesome Camera You can be with your friends or family from anywhere in the world with this camera. Setup and use was very easy as it is compact and can be placed about anywhere. It has 1080p resolution motion sensor and two way audio which is clear. You have to download the app to your phone and it is user friendly. It needs to be within a few feet of an outlet as it needs to be plugged in. Picture quality is good and as mentioned earlier the two way audio makes it easy to talk to the dog and keep him off of the sofa. It comes with a metal mounting plate that can be placed on a wall as the base of the camera is magnetic. Overall this camera is great and I am very pleased with it.
Hi, How to manage 1080p from this camera? All videos even when switched to HI-DEF are 720p... Video is not so clear like on my xiaomi YI 1080p camera. What i do wrong? I definitely buy Mini Plus and it from authorized resseler. Please Help.
My device keeps telling me "you have reached the maximum connections to the device" whenever i try to view it. My regular mini still works fine, but the plus keeps failing. Support said remove device & re-add, which didn't work.
I have been having the same issue for about 6 months now. When I try to view the video from an alert is when it happens to me. Viewing live video works fine. It used to work great. Not sure what changed. Support said it was my internet speed but it is NOT my internet speed. If it was, I wouldn't be able to view live video I don't think. Wish I knew how to resolve this. I've been considering other solutions.
I'd like to purchase a small security camera that DOES NOT require being set up with a mobile phone or app. I'd like to ONLY utilize an SD card to store the footage. Is this possible with this camera? I do NOT want to have to connect it to a phone.
Am I able to hear audio without turning on the 2way audio? I cant figure that out.
1) Unfortunately, I was expecting it to RECORD 24/7... Is it possible ? 2) Under Storage Option- I am getting only Memory Card option, I cant see Cloud option.
I just bought the mini plus for indoors. How do I save a live or saved motion detected video that I view, to my phone's storage, like I can with my Skybell security camera...even if I am out of the house?
Hi, I am in the UK and I like your product range. I am interested in, amongst other things, cameras that run on batteries and I note that the Mini Trooper is not available in the UK. Mini+ is shown without wires (on a fridge). Is that battery powered?
Camera not recording to SD card even though it's enabled. The SD card came with the camera. It worked before, I upgraded my internet so I had to reconnect my camera and now its not working. It doesn't beep when there's activity nor is it recording.
We're sorry things aren't going smoothly. Please ensure that you have initialized the SD card from the storage status menu. Once the SD card has been initialized, the device will start recording videos to the SD card. Notification sound mode can be enabled from within the alarm notification settings page of the camera, please ensure that you have that settings set to soft or intense to receive a beep notification from the camera when motion is detected. We have a team of experts ready to help get everything back on track. Give the EZVIZ Tech Team a call at 1.855.MYEZVIZ (693.9849) Mondays – Fridays 7am – 6pm Pacific Time or email us at service@ezvizlife.com. We love to help!


When choosing between slot die coating and comma head coating, it is important to weigh the benefits of each. In this video, Senior Processing Engineer Mike Rothaupt explains the benefits of slot die coating against comma head coating. Our slot die coater has the ability to go on and off coats on demand. Because it is a sealed system, we also are not going to deal with any solvent loss. Watch the video below to understand more about slot die coating.
[Transcript] "Hi, I'm Mike, a Senior Process Engineer here at Tapemark. So, while we have comma head coating being the most common method for coating with our transdermals, there is the option of slot die coating, and I'd just like to discuss some of the possible advantages here so that you can decide whether that may be beneficial to you. So the yield benefits with slot die really come after the set up. This can be a very consistent method of coating. You do typically lose a little more during setup, so if you're in a very large scale process or you're going more towards commercialization, this may be more beneficial. Another possibility is if you're running a process, which, for whatever reason needs to start and stop often, the slot die coater can go on and off coats almost on demand. Because it's a sealed system, you're not dealing with any solvent losses that can, you know, dry across the coding head, which happens during comma head coating. So for whatever reason you need to make shorter rolls or just go off for sampling or if you're even doing intermittent coating, this method will likely really have some advantages."

What is Intermodal?
Intermodal is the long-haul movement of shipping containers and truck trailers by rail, combined with a (usually much shorter) truck movement at one or both ends. This shorter truck movement at each end is called drayage. Intermodal allows railroads, ocean carriers, trucking companies, and intermodal customers to take advantage of the best attributes of various transportation modes to yield an efficient and cost-effective overall freight movement. It is also often referred to as truck-rail-truck.
The Intermodal Network:
(Map credit to IANA, http://intermodal.org/resourcecenter/network.php)
As you can see, the North American intermodal network extends to nearly all parts of the United States, portions of Canada, and Mexico.
Knichel Logistics Intermodal Value Proposition:
Knichel Logistics is a true IMC (Intermodal Marketing Company). There are numerous benefits to working with an IMC, such as Knichel Logistics:
We possess rail contracts with all of the Class 1 Railroads in the U.S. and Canada, meaning that our customers have access to all of the North American intermodal network.
We have the ability to move shipments "ramp to ramp", where we control the trucking on both ends.
Our competitors that are not IMC's are subject to using door to door products, where the equipment owner/provider controls the container and the drayage.
Having the ability to deal directly with the origin and destination trucking companies that Knichel carefully selects, instead of working through a third party, allows us to provide more real-time status updates and to have better control over the "first and last mile" of the shipment, which are the most important parts of any shipment.
Knichel has extensive drayage relationships and a vast network of trusted carriers that we utilize daily.
We have contracts with the large national bi-modal providers.
(We are able to leverage the volume that we can offer in key "power lanes" for these providers where they will offer competitive pricing with equipment allocations instead of being subject to just spot/transactional pricing.)
With these sources combined, Knichel has access to over 160,000 53' intermodal containers within the North American intermodal network. In addition, Knichel has relationships with 7 of the top 10 steamship lines in the world to secure ISO capacity. We offer expedited, refrigerated containers, and boxcars in addition to traditional intermodal.
Intermodal Equipment Types:
53' COFC (Container on Flat Car): Standard intermodal equipment
Standard inside dims: 52' 6" L x 99" W x 110" H
Standard max weight: 43,000 lbs. (exceptions can be made depending on the route)
ISO Small Box Containers: 20'/40'/45'
Limited routings: Usually westbound to west coast ports only
These are domestic returns of international boxes back to the ports. Certain steamship lines allow us use of the container that is inland to return back to the west coast (rather than re-positioning it empty)
Not available at all origins
20' must move on the rail in pairs, so moving a single domestically has very limited availability
40'/45's can be a good option for dense product (weighs out before cubes out)
Standard inside 40' dims: 39' 6" L x 92" W x 94" H
53' Reefer
Not available in all lanes
Qualcomm monitoring while on rail
Restrictions on certain commodities
If you are interested in learning more about the different types of intermodal container options available, please follow this link.
For Small Box Services (40′ and 45′), please follow this link for more information.
Benefits of Intermodal:
Intermodal shipping is four times more fuel efficient than truckload.
One train can carry the load of 280 trucks which makes intermodal a far more environmentally friendly method of shipping.
Switching from truckload to intermodal greatly reduces highway congestion.
Transit time is reasonably comparable to truckload, unless you require a highly expedited service.
In lanes exceeding 1000 miles, intermodal pricing can be particularly price competitive with motor carrier pricing, often yielding a 10-25% cost savings.
Intermodal can be a significant source of capacity, particularly in peak season surges and when truck capacity tightens.
Intermodal is another viable option in your shipping arsenal. Having the choice of utilizing a competitive alternative to truckload is a wise way to optimize your freight shipping.
As truckload capacity continues to tighten and over the road rates rise, the value proposition of intermodal is strong and projected to remain so.
With the ELD (electronic logging device) mandate, truck miles per day are expected to fall by nearly 30%, which will require the rate per mile to increase in order to make up for that loss. Factor in increased congestion on the roads and a continuous decrease in the number of drivers, and we have a scenario that further bolsters intermodal as a solid alternative to truckload.

He Never Told His Love (variant)
PhotographerHenry Peach Robinson
MediumAlbumen
AtelierUnknown
Fields, Meadows, Framed photograph, Genre: Men, Genre: Women
Image Dimensions: 13.8 x 9.3 cm
This well-known photograph by English photographer Henry Peach Robinson is a cropped version of a photograph he titled He Never Told His Love. The original version includes two additional models on the right hand side of the photograph-one sitting and the other holding a basket looking towards the interaction of the older gentleman and model on far left. The original was taken by Robinson on a 1884 photographic trip to Gelligynan in North Wales and described by him in London's Photographic News in July of that year:
"With all these adjuncts to picture making, to which may be added a picturesque game-keeper who carried my camera, and three or four "models" dressed in the clothes of the country, the making of pictures was an easy matter."
…"It often happened that a subject occurred and was secured in a few minutes, with very little demand on the skill of the photographer. As an example, I will mention one subject, for which I can only take the credit of seeing it when it happened. One day I could not have the keeper who usually attended me, and I had to take an undergardener. This man was a pictorial treasure. He was old, and had scarcely been further from the estate than Mold in his life. He was essentially a happy-looking old man, and full of native wit. I had been looking for a view some way off, and returning, saw my old man sitting on a rail in the hedge, surrounded by the models, who were chaffing him in Welsh and English. They made a picturesque group, and I heard one of them say, "He never told his love." Here was subject and title together, and was at once secured." (1.)
This albumen photograph is mounted behind glass and glued into the recto of a floral-composition frame. The frame verso includes a simple bow-tie wire bracket used to steady the frame when displayed on a level surface.

I realize the title of this photograph sounds like the flip side of an old 45 rpm record, but the gossipy truth is that human nature was the same back in 1884 as it is today when this was taken by English photographer Henry Peach Robinson. Texting might be the reality and substitute for a scene like this now, at least by the younger generation, but like the old 45, isn't it nice to have this different kind of record of generational differences by camera before it disappears completely?

Yeah one thing I liked about sport and rec, we went to this one community called Fifteen Mile which is out of Palmerston, yeah we went there and run a footy clinic with the kids and the Principal told me that she would like to – she would like us to come back and do it again, so she organised that and then Rick Hall, which is the trainer, came over and yeah, went and picked us up and yeah, run the footy clinic.
So how did you feel about that experience?
Yeah, I felt – I felt happy like, more than happy because I was sort of like working and you know – wanted to get away from school because we had a lot of stuff to do. I mean didn't want to get away from school but you know to have time out or something like that. But it was great, you know like for my experience that I've learned how to run a footy clinic and the kids liked it.
After I left school, my first job was at sport and rec. I wanted to work as a sport and rec officer because of the experience I've had doing sport and rec at school. I wanted to show my skills of running a footy clinic on the community.

Williams guilty in 2010 murder of George County sheriff
MERIDIAN - A jury has found Brandy Nicole Williams guilty of capital murder in the 2010 death of George County Sheriff Garry Welford.
Friday's verdict in Lauderdale County was the result of a retrial for Williams. Her first conviction was overturned by a state appeals court.
Mississippi media outlets report that Williams was sentenced by Judge Richard McKenzie to life in prison without parole.
The 62-year-old Welford was putting spikes at an intersection near the Alabama line to stop a truck in which Williams and Christopher Baxter were fleeing police in July 2010. He was struck and killed by the truck.
Baxter also has been convicted and sentenced to life in prison for Welford's death.

Virage Logic Announces Intent to Acquire ARC International
FREMONT, Calif. -- Aug 18, 2009 -- Virage Logic Corporation (NASDAQ:VIRL), the semiconductor industry's trusted IP partner, today announced its intent to acquire publicly held ARC International plc (LSE:ARK), a leading provider of consumer IP to OEM and semiconductor companies globally. The proposed acquisition would expand Virage Logic's ability to serve the global semiconductor market by complementing its existing portfolio of physical IP and standards-based advanced interface IP with ARC's widely accepted processor IP, a necessary component for complex System-on-Chip (SoC) integrated circuits.
The proposed all-cash transaction values ARC at 16.25 pence per share, or an equity value of approximately £25.2 million ($41.0 million) on a fully-diluted basis. The Directors of ARC have recommended unanimously that ARC's shareholders accept the offer. Virage Logic expects that the offer document will be mailed to ARC shareholders shortly. The offer period will extend for a minimum of 21 days from the date the offer document has been mailed, and the transaction is expected to close by the end of Virage Logic's first fiscal quarter of 2010, which ends on December 31, 2009. The offer is subject to certain limited closing conditions, including that at least 90% of the ARC shares have been tendered into the offer.
"The acquisition of ARC would represent another significant milestone in the execution of our vision of establishing Virage Logic as a broad-line supplier of highly differentiated semiconductor IP to our global IDM, foundry and fabless customers. Through both our organic and inorganic growth initiatives, we have significantly expanded our portfolio of standard products," said Dan McCranie, Virage Logic's executive chairman. "With approximately $24 million in revenue for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2009 and over 150 customers, ARC would contribute meaningful scale to our business. Furthermore, ARC would significantly expand our market opportunity to include microprocessor cores, the largest segment of the semiconductor IP market."
"In our engagements with well over 300 existing worldwide customers, we have seen the need to provide additional IP building blocks to enable successful and timely development of large SoC products," said Dr. Alex Shubat, president and CEO of Virage Logic. "Our highly differentiated product portfolio comprising memory compilers, logic libraries, non-volatile memory, test and repair solutions, and high speed interfaces have set the standard for superior quality and value added features for a variety of end applications. By bringing ARC's talented team into our company, we will be complementing our existing technological and operational nucleus to provide even more comprehensive product solutions for our customers."
"ARC has established a leading position in the provision of customizable Solution-to-Silicon IP to consumer and semiconductor companies globally. The company has been rationalized and strengthened under its new leadership, and with its market-leading technology and outstanding worldwide customer base, ARC is well positioned for a successful future," said Richard Barfield, Chairman of ARC. "As Virage Logic has recognized, the combination of the technology, expertise and customer bases of ARC and Virage Logic will create substantial opportunities for the Enlarged Group and its customers. In addition, the ARC Directors believe that the Offer delivers value and certainty to ARC Shareholders. Consequently, the ARC Directors are able to recommend the Offer unanimously to ARC Shareholders."
On a non-GAAP basis, which excludes the effects of FAS123R stock compensation expense, restructuring, and amortization of intangible assets and acquisition related charges, Virage Logic expects the proposed acquisition to be accretive between $0.10 and $0.14 earnings per share to fiscal year 2010.

Huntington Beach denies vying for new surf museum
Residents gather at the Dana Point Community Center for a town hall meeting regarding a proposed surf museum.
Is Huntington Beach after the Surfing Heritage Foundation's surf museum proposed for Dana Point? The latter's city manager, Doug Chotkevys, told residents he's heard such rumors.
"Recently, I became aware that the city of Huntington Beach is actively approaching the Surfing Heritage Museum to locate in their downtown area," Chotkevys told residents at a surf museum town hall meeting Wednesday.
"If the city of Huntington Beach came to me with land and a bucket of cash, I'd be crazy not to take it. I've been hearing rumors since we began this discussion that Huntington Beach covets this museum."
Huntington Beach officials denied any knowledge of such an effort.
"This is interesting news, and as far as the city is concerned, I have no knowledge of a proposal like this," Huntington Beach Community Relations Officer Laurie Payne stated in an e-mail.
Despite the rumor, a large portion of the more than 30 public comments at the meeting gave hearty support for locating a surf museum in Dana Point, but the majority seemed against the Sea Terrace Community Park location supported overwhelmingly by city staff.
Many residents surrounding Sea Terrace Park vehemently oppose putting the museum there, mostly because of traffic and congestion a cultural center and museum could bring to their neighborhood.
Click on the following link to hear audio the Register recorded during the public comment period.
A detailed visual presentation by Public Works Director Brad Fowler showed that the location would, for the most part, not affect any ocean views for the surrounding community.
"It's not the view, it's the location," Dick McCabe, a Dana Point resident, said after seeing many pictures showing how the museum would potentially affect ocean views. He called the plan – if approved – the worst park plan that any city could ever adopt. He called for open space to remain open.
"For you surfers who didn't want a freeway ruining your park in San Clemente, we don't want a building ruining our park in Dana Point. We will support your surf museum, and you need to support open space," McCabe said.
Though the current plan met with much opposition at the meeting, some people supported the planned location. San Clemente resident Tom Morey, creator of the iconic Boogie Board, said Dana Point residents should trust their elected leaders, who should do all they can to put the museum in Dana Point.
"Surfing is – of the things I've done in my life – the payoff," he said.
"We're living in a place that is surrounded by death and dying. Look at our economy, the mortgages, the corruption; we look at ourselves and our bodies. Life comes from the ocean, being out in the sun and in the sand. The fact that it would be possible for Dana Point to have this Surfing Heritage Foundation's unbelievable collection is far from just a hall of fame. This is a special place. Surfing is something they don't have everywhere."
Chotkevys directed the lengthy surfing-museum information session at the Dana Point Community Center. The presentation, nearly identical to one given to the council by city staff in January, addressed plans for the construction of a 30,000-square-foot museum and cultural center in Sea Terrace Park, near the public library along Pacific Coast Highway and Niguel Road.
While giving information about city policies on zoning in the Sea Terrace and adjacent library areas, Community Development Director Kyle Butterwick said whatever the city's final decision regarding location of the museum, it could not be challenged by the California Coastal Commission.
Alternate location ideas were offered by residents and noted by staff.
No decision has been made, as Dana Point's Surf Museum Task Force continues to gather public input to help it advise the City Council. The task force will gather information from the two town hall meetings this month and summarize them for a report.

US Names Target of Somalia Raid
Map of Somalia
A U.S. official says the target of Saturday's special forces raid in Somalia was a Kenyan man working with the militant group al-Shabab.
A senior Obama administration official identifies the man as Abdulkadir Mohamed Abdulkadir, a Kenyan of Somali origin who also goes by the name Ikrima.
The official says Abdulkadir is a foreign fighter commander for al-Shabab.
A U.S. Navy SEAL team went ashore in Barawe, Somalia on Saturday in an effort to capture Abdulkadir.
Officials say the team killed several Shabab militants in a firefight but withdrew without capturing their target. None of the SEAL team members was harmed.
A U.S. official told The New York Times that Washington planned the Somalia operation in response to last month's assault by al-Shabab on a Kenyan shopping mall. More than 60 civilians were killed in the attack on the Westgate mall in Nairobi.
Al-Shabab has vowed to carry out other attacks in Kenya unless the country's government withdraws its forces from Somalia.
The senior Obama administration official says Abdulkadir was associated with two now-deceased al-Qaida operatives -- Harun Fazul and Saleh Nabhan. The two allegedly played roles in the 1998 bombing of the U.S. embassy in Nairobi and the 2002 attacks on a hotel and an airliner in Mombasa.
U.S. commandos killed Nabhan during a raid near Barawe in 2009.

Q: Access PHP function of a class How to access the PHP function of a class where the function is stored in variable?
For example:
$functionname = "say_hello";
$obj = new Class();
$obj -> $functionname();

A: Use a callback
Quick sample: array($obj, $functionname)
call_user_func(array($obj, $functionname), your parameters);

A complete explanation on the reference link above

A: if function name is stored in a variable check if it is exists and is callable like
   if ( method_exists( $product, $method ) ) {
print $product->$method(); // invoke the method
}

then check if it is callable
if ( is_callable( array( $product, $method) ) ) {
print $product->$method(); // invoke the method
}

A: private function __get($name) {
$method = 'get'.$name;
return $this->$method();
}

write the __get function which builds the method name and calls it

Mary Ann Rutkowski remembers the day she chose her future career – at the mall.
As a high-schooler, she was at a career day event when someone handed her a flier about the field of cytology. Intrigued, she read about microscopes and cancer detection, picturing herself behind a 'scope someday.
A native of the Utica region, she graduated from Upstate Medical Center and went on to complete a clinical semester at URMC to become a certified cytotechnologist.
It was the summer of 1978, and she was 20 years old when she was offered a job in the URMC Department of Pathology and Lab Medicine. She hasn't looked back since and on May 6, Rutkowski will retire from that same position after 38 years.
Here, she shares some reflections on her long and successful career.
Do you remember your teachers from your clinical semester at URMC?
Dr. Stanley F. Patten, Jr. wrote the textbooks. He laid the groundwork for how you not only diagnose cancer but the pre-cancerous conditions, which are so important. I have had so many wonderful mentors throughout my tenure here. Many were really pioneers in the field. Drs. Bonfiglio, Wilbur, Stoler are just a few that come to mind. Florence Patten also had a major influence on my formative years as a cytotech.
I still find it kind of frustrating when we get a case of cervical cancer which should be 100 percent preventable. It's usually in people who may not have insurance, or something prevents them from getting annual screenings.
How has microscope technology changed since you started?
We used to look at a lot of conventional slides where you smear the material onto the slide, and it was very difficult to see. It was thick, not well stained, and air dried, so there were a lot of technical problems. It was challenging in a fun kind of way to decipher what was going on in these conventional smears.
Probably in the early 1990s, liquid-based technology really revolutionized cervical cancer screening and took that element of poor quality out of the picture. It was definitely a much needed advancement. That's where we are today placing a pap sample in a solution and removing error the doctor may make in making the slides.
What has been your favorite part of the job overall?
The part I enjoy most is when we go out on our aspiration biopsy procedures because we get to see the patients and we're reminded that it's not just a piece of glass that we have on a microscope. We may see their family, friends – their support personnel – with them. Even though we can never get to know them personally because then you lose your objectivity, I've always enjoyed going out and playing an "active" role in obtaining diagnostic material. The first step for our patients towards treatment is getting the answer; that is the role we play.
Do you think some people choose this profession because it's not patient-facing?
Perhaps. That's what attracted me to it – it has some patient contact but not an extreme amount. I admire people who take care of people who are quite sick. It's a tough job. We are the people who are behind the scenes.
In addition to patients, what has it been like to work with partnering agencies?
We have had some wonderful clinicians who get referrals from all over this part of the state. I think we take it for granted because we've worked with them for so long, but these people come from Buffalo and the Southern Tier because they don't have access to people with the expertise to do endoscopies or the various invasive procedures. For me it's rewarding that we're on the same team. They're trying to stick a needle in a target and we're trying to interpret that material accurately to the best of our ability.
How do you plan to spend retirement?
Life's a gift and when you're around people who have a lot of health problems you're reminded that if you have your health, you should enjoy it and not complain. I hope to travel and I enjoy photography (an amateur shutterbug). My husband and I have a little cabin on 30 acres in the middle of nowhere on the top of a mountain in Naples that we've nicknamed "the bungalow." I suspect I will be there more often.
Rochester has been our home for 30 years … When you're here this long, this becomes your home and we have friends here. We live right in the Highland Park area and love city living, being close to things, and that park is so unique. That was my goal: to be retired before the Lilac Festival (laughs).
It's rare these days to hear about someone sticking with the same job for 38 years. What has kept you around so long?
I never really wanted to leave, (and) even now it's bittersweet. I feel like I have friends here, not just coworkers. We've always worked as a team and that's what has allowed us to survive, helping each other out. That's what I think has kept me here as long as I have. It can be stressful some days but we help each other out. The days go by fast and the weeks go by even faster. And the years! I blinked and here I am 38 years later. I truly have had the time of my life here at the U of R.
Do you have any advice for young people starting their careers?
Make sure you set your goals and do something you enjoy doing. You may not stay as long in one place, but no matter what, make sure you enjoy it and appreciate what you have instead of looking at the glass as half-empty.


I love photographing families. I love photographing maternity sessions. My heart sings when I capture intimate moments between a mother and her children. Senior portraits are few and far between for me but every once in a while a great one pops up, one that speaks directly to my work. Ashley's senior session at Missouri Botanical Gardens was just the one.
After photographing Ashley and getting to know her a bit better, I think I may have a girl crush. I wish, when I was her age, I was as aware of the importance of family. I wish I lived it out like she lives it out. Friday nights are spent cooking dinner and playing games at home with her mother and grandmother. Sunday mornings are reserved for church and family. When I read about her family's tight knit unit before the session I knew these were images I had to make. It was only natural to incorporate mom and grandma in Ashley's senior session. Mom and grandma relocated from the southwest to give Ashley a chance at a good, private school education here in St Louis. They uprooted to provide a better opportunity for their daughter. The bonds these three women have formed, the strength of the family is awe-inspiring.
Photographing these three women was a blessing. What a gift they gave me!

Spring Family Photo Session: 3 likes, 2 things I wish I would've done.
What a lovely session!!! You nailed this!
Thanks Marsha 🙂 She was lovely both inside and out. Plus, having mom and grandma along made it extra special.

When people head to work for the day, they expect their day to go just like any other usual day. They rarely ever think about what would happen if an accident were to occur and they were to become injured while at work. No matter what an individual does for a living, there is always the chance that an accident may happen at the workplace. Employees should feel comforted knowing that, if an accident were to happen, workers' compensation is available to them if they become injured at work.
If an employee is injured on the job, there is financial compensation available to them. Workers' compensation is insurance that helps employees who are either injured or receive an occupational disease while at work. The compensation allows employees to receive benefits that assist them while they cannot work. Almost every worker in Pennsylvania is covered under the Workers' Compensation Act. This includes seasonal and part-time workers. Those who are not covered by the Act may include volunteers, agricultural laborers, casual employees, and employees who are exempt from the Act due to personal religious reasons.
In Pennsylvania, workers' compensation covers medical bills if an employee sustains an injury or illness on the job. If they are unable to work as a result, they may receive compensation for any wages lost until they can come back to work. If an employee dies as a result of the incident, certain death benefits may be paid to any dependent survivors of the deceased.
It is important for an employee injured at work to report the accident to their employer or supervisor immediately. They must also file a claim if they wish to receive workers' compensation. The claim will then be evaluated, which may possibly include an investigation and interviews. This is done to determine if the claim is covered under workers' compensation law. It is important to know that when a decision is reached, both parties have the right to appeal the approval or denial.
When an employee is injured at work, they often wish to hold someone responsible. While it may be possible to hold their employer responsible, this can create an uncomfortable work environment. In place of this, employees are offered workers' compensation. When an employee receives the compensation, they can no longer pursue a lawsuit against their employer.
While an employee cannot take legal action against their employer for their injuries if they are receiving workers' compensation, they may be able to do so against a third party. If a third party is responsible for an injury, they may be held accountable while the employee still collects workers' compensation. This can be done through a personal injury lawsuit. It is important to know that if the employee wins the lawsuit and receives further compensation, they may have to pay back the workers' compensation they received.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a workplace accident and wishes to seek legal counsel, contact the Law Offices of Mattleman, Weinroth & Miller, P.C. today.

Portugal coach Paulo Bento refused to reserve special praise for Cristiano Ronaldo after his two goals against the Netherlands secured a 2-1 victory and a place in the last eight, instead preferring to emphasise his pride at the team display. Dutch counterpart Bert van Marwijk, meanwhile, blamed an uncertain defence for his side's disappointing UEFA EURO 2012, insisting that it could have been a different campaign altogether had they not have suffered an unfortunate 1-0 loss to Denmark in their opening game.

Paulo Bento, Portugal coach
I am proud of what we did as a team and satisfied that we have succeeded in reaching our aim . We did it brilliantly and thanks to great unity in these three games we have played. In terms of how we played as a team, I'm very proud.
We've already said we have a certain style of play, an identity and specific ideas. The players really did what we asked them to do. Today we can talk about brilliance. It was the best game – apart from the first 12 minutes – of our tournament so far. We've been loyal to our spirit and that's what we're proud of. We've always shown we have the capability of responding and that we don't let up.
We don't claim to be favourites [against the Czech Republic] and it won't be easy. We have to keep up our work and the quality that we have shown so far. Then maybe we can even reach the semi-finals. There are still a lot of things to develop but I'm proud, like the players should be. We reached the quarter-finals, we played well and we are through from a group including the World Cup runners-up and the team that came third.
Bert van Marwijk, Netherlands coach
I think we started quite well. After the back pass from Gregory [van der Wiel] there was a lot of uncertainty in the team. There were times where we had a lot of chances to turn the game in our favour. That opening defeat by Denmark was where the uncertainty started. We saw again that when we concede a goal that uncertainty stays there. If we'd scored a second we'd have been more sure of ourselves. Had we won that first game when we had so many chances we might have had a different team .
I said before the game that this was a special situation. If you play a final or the first game in a tournament then a draw is OK as you can go for extra time and penalties. But we knew we had to win by a two-goal difference so we had to take that risk. At the start it went well but afterwards it simply didn't. We're disappointed; it wasn't a good game at all and I'm responsible for that.
It's basically the same team [as reached the 2010 FIFA World Cup final] except for a few positions. We did try to make the team faster and younger and also to make it better in terms of strength in depth. I knew it wasn't going to be easy to do what we did two years ago. It has to do with scoring goals. An individual error got Portugal back into the game and the players who usually make the difference for us, for one reason or another, didn't really reach their level.

In 1903, Frank Farrell and Bill Devery purchased the franchise after it ceased operations and moved it to New York City, renaming the club the New York Highlanders. The Highlanders were officially renamed as the "Yankees" in 1913.
The team is owned by Yankee Global Enterprises, an LLC that is controlled by the family of the late George Steinbrenner, who purchased the team in 1973. Brian Cashman is the team's general manager, and Aaron Boone is their manager. The team's home games were played at Yankee Stadium from 1923 to 1973 and from 1976 to 2008. In 1974 and 1975, incur entire home schedule was played at Shea Stadium while Yankee Stadium was being rebuilt. In 2009, they moved into a new ballpark also called Yankee Stadium.
The New York Yankees are a professional baseball team based in the New York City borough of the Bronx. They compete in Major League Baseball (MLB) as a member club of the American League (AL) East division. They are one of two major league clubs based in New York City, the other being the National League's (NL) New York Mets. The Yankees began play in the 1901 season as the Baltimore Orioles (no relation to the modern Baltimore Orioles franchise). In 1903, Frank Farrell and Bill Devery purchased the franchise after it ceased operations and moved it to New York City, renaming it the New York Highlanders. The Highlanders were officially renamed as the "Yankees" in 1913.
The team is owned by Yankee Global Enterprises, an LLC controlled by the family of George Steinbrenner, who purchased the team in 1973. Former catcher Yogi Berra and longtime broadcaster Phil Rizzuto are some of the most notable Yankees personalities to have spent their careers with the organization.
The catcher is the most important position on the defensive side of the game. They are responsible for calling the game and handling the pitching staff. They also have to be able to hit and field their position well. The Yankees have had some great catchers over the years.
The catcher is the leader of the defense. He is responsible for controlling the game and making sure everyone is in the right position. He also calls all of the pitches.
The catcher's main job is to catch the pitches that the pitcher throws. He also tries to keep runners from stealing bases and tries to get them out if they try to steal.
The catcher also hits. He bats ninth in the lineup because he doesn't get to hit very often with all of the pitchers batting ahead of him.
The catcher is the field general of the pitching staff, and as such, he handles a great deal of responsibility. He must be able to think quickly and make split-second decisions. The catcher's gear includes a mask, chest protector, shin guards, and a special catcher's mitt.
The catcher's mask protects the catcher's face from foul balls and thrown bats. It has a metal grill that covers the face and latticed bars on the side for ventilation. The chest protector covers the chest and stomach area, and straps on over the shoulders. It is made of impact-resistant foam padding with a plastic outer shell. The shin guards cover the shins and lower legs, and are made of impact-resistant foam padding with a plastic outer shell. The catcher's mitt is larger than a regular baseball glove, with extra padding to protect the hand from wild pitches.
The Yankees have had many great catchers throughout their history. Some of the more famous ones include Yogi Berra, Elston Howard, and Thurman Munson. More recently, the Yankees have had Jorge Posada and Brian McCann. Let's take a look at the Yankees' catchers.
Gary Sanchez (born December 2, 1992) is a Dominican professional baseball catcher for the New York Yankees of Major League Baseball (MLB). He made his MLB debut in 2016.
Austin Romine is an American professional baseball catcher for the New York Yankees of Major League Baseball (MLB). He made his MLB debut in 2011. Prior to playing professionally, Romine played college baseball for the Arizona State Sun Devils.
Romine was born in California and grew up in Lake Forest, playing Little League Baseball before attending El Modena High School. As a high school junior, he was named to the USA Today All-USA High School Baseball Team. The Yankees selected Romine in the second round of the 2007 Major League Baseball Draft, and he signed with them rather than attend college.
Kyle Higashioka is the Yankees' catcher. He is a 28-year-old from California who made his MLB debut in 2017.

Q: Looking for a good documentation format I have a quite big hobby project and I'm trying not to get lost so I'm off course documenting, might it be "design docs" or "manuals" but I haven't yet found a good format, all my docs are spread out in .txt .doc .odt etc,  maybe you can help me out :-) ?
The really best would be a format with:

*

*One file only (not html for example)

*Easy to add images, big/small/bold/underlined/... texts.

*Simple to use (no need to 'compile', no need for a gas-powered-editor / simplicity to edit)

*A collapsible 'index' preferably on the left side

*Can be (easily) read on several computers (PC is a must but it would be nice if it works on Mac etc.)

*Free or not very expensive (at least a free and good reader)

I have already tried .odt, powerpoint and .pdf but they have obvious issues (odt: no index, ptt: expensive and PC only, pdf: has it all I think but no (good) free editor ).
What do you use when you are documenting and do you have an idea about a format that would suit me?
Thanks!
[edit] Actually I found out that Open Office text document using different titles and exported to pdf automatically makes bookmarks (for the titles, collapsible too) so that is what I searched for.
As the question got closed with only one answer (thanks! but it wasn't what I was looking for) I can't answer my question and I'll just let it be...

A: Have you tried Markdown? That's how I write all of my lengthy articles and such, as Markdown is extremely readable by itself (that's the whole point) and can be edited via any text editor. But with a template engine (I use Jinja2), you can spit out uniform groups of text documents quite well.

*

*Here's a sample article written in Markdown.

*And the resulting HTML file.

*And the global template file.

If you want to see some examples of the syntax, Wikipedia has a nice article on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markdown#Syntax_examples.

Samsung Future Lab – Moving towards the Future of Pictures
Implications: Spain, Public Studies, Research
New Formats for Researching and Communicating
The context
Samsung is a brand leader in the market and a reference point in the areas of technology and innovation. One example of its non-conformist philosophy is when it wanted to go one step further and discover where the future leads in the area of pictures within an evermore-technological context. The Samsung CMI team challenged us with mapping out and understanding how consumers imagine the future of pictures.
We view this future in an integrated way and approach it from various perspectives: behaviors, emotions, technology, etc.
In order to do so, we developed a project divided into 3 stages.
- The first stage consists of mental mapping sessions through which the most advanced targets were explored: professionals in the audiovisual industry, influencers and Generation Z. Opening up their minds to a more disruptive future.
- The second stage consists of a workshop that included the expert views of Samsung professionals, which included the incorporation of the brand's technological initiatives in its flagship model (Galaxy S9).
- And a third dimension which aims at making the gap between the current moment and the future more tangible. We did so by conducting an online survey among representative and Internet user populations.
"TCA goes beyond knowledge of customers and trends, helping us to activate learning and becoming part of the "action" with its work methodology and vision. This learning-action combination is its true differentiating value."
Mónica Sánchez, Marketing Manager at Samsung
The results brought to light the importance of pictures as a language code that's on the rise, and the way in which photography is turning on the spot and going from what's illustrative to what's physical interaction, opening up a world of possibilities to users and brands. This information allowed Samsung to develop a range of smartphones geared towards their communication initiatives.
For a project aimed at understanding the future of pictures, the output was adapted into something none other than a video-report.

A big THANK YOU to the 28 people who attended the Bonrich Academy training at Dr. Laura's on April 23rd. Everyone had a chance to meet and talk with others who are just getting used to learning what they can accomplish with this remarkable technology.
One of the main areas we covered was VNS (vagus nerve stimulation). The basic method or protocol we use for this was created by Thomas Woods, a Diplomate of Acupuncture. (He has not used needles for over 7 years because micro-current works better and lasts longer). The reduction in stress and inflammation in the body is backed by a significant amount of research and some of which is available on the Bonrich Academy website under the VNS "box".
Also covered was a simple version of "Little Wings", where we calm the neck and shoulders and reduce stress.
This training we also added N-Stim (Neuro-stimulation) protocol and if you were there you could look around the room and see everyone with the "Comb" attachment on their head, which reminded many of an old card game kids played called Indian Poker, where you held up one card on your forehead so everyone else could see what you have- except yourself.
However, N-stim is serious and does provide valuable benefits to the brain and how well it functions. In one case of note I have used it and with just 15 minutes of treatment witnessed restored cognitive function and clarity of thought return to a geriatric male- and it was sustained for over 3 months with no further treatment. Anyone who uses this will have their own stories.
Finally, among other things, we covered a very simple way to approach any problem you may encounter with regards to pain, whether for yourself or others, and we provided a two-step pathway to success.
Here's a recent story concerning the use of VNS and Little Wings to help a patient come out of an anxiety attack.
For those who have never experienced a panic attack or have never been on anti-depressants- wonderful and fortunate, but for those who have, well- not pleasant.
A new patient of a doctor who uses micro-current had been on anti-depressants for years (from other docs) and was weaning off them. However, in medicine, withdrawal is not exact and always tenuous and may even be dangerous, and in this case, it appeared the patient may have been reducing the dosage too rapidly and was experiencing high anxiety.
During the patient's first visit an anxiety attack occurred and the individual's pulse rate soared to 120 just sitting. The VNS protocol was used immediately and the pulse rate lowered to 98, then a quick Little Wings and it was 88 and the individual was calm again- crisis over! Thanks to the use of the VNS protocol and thanks to Tom Woods for coming up with it!
Let us know some of your experiences and please share your "stories." Those present on the 23rd heard lots of stories from each other, and while they may not be proof of anything, they do show that everyone in the room has benefited from their device and is glad they have one.
