Laser technology has evolved rapidly since the idea was first tossed about by no other than Albert Einstein in 1917.
Naturally, Einstein was onto to something, and lasers (Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation) are now pretty much incorporated into almost every aspect of modern-day living, used in everything from DVD players to food thermometers.
Made up of light waves of a certain wavelength that travel in the one direction, laser technology is used in Laser Eye Surgery because of its pinpoint accuracy and instant results.
What types of lasers are used during Laser Eye surgery?
A Femtosecond Laser is used to create a smooth corneal flap that exposes the cornea so that Laser Eye Surgery can take place.
The application of the Excimer Laser to Laser Eye Surgery has revolutionized the procedure so that incredible accuracy can be achieved in vision correction.
So precise is the Excimer Laser, that it can remove microscopic amounts of tissue, as little as 0.25 microns (1/1000 of a millimeter).
The Excimer Laser uses a cool beam of ultraviolet light of a specific wavelength to safely ablate corneal cells without damaging adjacent tissue.
What happens if I move my eye during Laser Eye Surgery?
Modern-day lasers have been developed using an automated eye-tracking system, so that if there are any involuntary eye movements during Laser Eye Surgery, the laser can adjust accordingly.
To find out more about Laser Eye Surgery or if you have any other questions about the procedure, call to book your free consultation on 1890 301 302.

NCAA Investigates Penn State
Potential Changes to the BCS
Sandusky Lawsuit No. 1
Published by wpadmin at November 22, 2011
In an unprecedented move, the NCAA announced that is launching an investigation into whether Penn State acted within the confines of institutional control relating to the case and scandal involving Jerry Sandusky. Historically, the NCAA has exercised broad discretion in investigating matters relating to recruiting, amateurism, eligibility, financial aid, and a host of other topics. However, the NCAA has not delved into sexual abuse scandals, sexual harassment, or other non-athletic related matters. Apparently, that has changed, which creates a slippery slope. If the NCAA continues down this path, there are any number of matters the NCAA could investigate for unethical conduct (i.e., NCAA Bylaw 10.1) and lack of institutional control.
Although the matters at Penn State are serious and extremely unfortunate, there are governmental agencies that can look into criminal violations and a host of plaintiff's attorneys that will review the facts for potential civil damages. There does not seem to be a necessity or reason for the NCAA to look into this matter other than for purposes of positive public relations. Additionally, the spirit of the bylaws at issue do not appear to fail under the NCAA's purview for matters of this kind. Nonetheless, NCAA President Mark Emmert sent Penn State a letter requiring Penn State to provide information relating to the following questions:
1. "How has Penn State and/or its employees complied with the Articles of the Constitution and bylaws [(i.e., NCAA Articles 2.1, 2.4, 6.01.1, and 6.4; NCAA Bylaws 10.01.1, 10.1, 11.1.1, 11.1.2.1, and 19.01.2)] that are cited in this letter?"
2. "How has Penn State exercised institutional control over the issues identified in and related to the Grand Jury Report? Were there procedures in place that were or were not followed? What are the institution's expectations and policies to address the conduct that has been alleged in this matter upon discovery by any party?"
3. "Have each of the alleged persons to have been involved or have notice of the issues identified in and related to the Grand Jury Report behaved consistent with principles and requirements governing ethical conduct and honesty? If so, how? If not, how?"
4. "What policies and procedures does Penn State have in place to monitor, prevent and detect the issues identified in and related to the Grand Jury Report or to take disciplinary or correction action if such behaviors are found?"

Q: What are the rules to determine if a set is a basis for V? So I have here an example, we let $S = \{t^2 + 1, t - 1, 2t + 2\}$
How can I determine if $S$ is a basis for $V = P_2$?
Also, do I need to prove that $S$ is linearly independent? I'm almost there, just need someone to actually point me in the right direction. Please help.

A: Usually, we need to prove two statements:

*

*$S=\{s_1,s_2,s_3\}$ is linearly independent, so any element in $S$ is not a linear combination of anothers, i.e.,
$$as_1+bs_2+cs_3=0$$
for scalars $a,b,c$ not all zero; and

*$V$ es generated by $S$ (or $S$ spans $V$); briefly $V=\text{span}(S)$. To do that, we pick an arbitrary element $v$ in $V$, and show that
$$as_1+bs_2+cs_3=v$$
for scalars $a,b,c$ (possibly all zero).
In your case

*

*In order to prove that $S = \{t^2+1,t-1,2t+2\}$ is linearly independent, we need to show that the only solution for
$$a(t^2+1)+b(t-1)+c(2t+2)=0$$
is the trivial solution (i.e., $a=b=c=0$).
You can "translate" to linear system equations. Note that
$$xt^2+yt+z\sim(x,y,z)$$ and so
$$\begin{matrix}t^2&&+1&\sim&(1, \ \ \ 0,\ \ \ 1)\\ &t&-1&\sim&(0, \ \ \ 1,-1)\\ &2t&+2&\sim&(0, \ \ \ 2, \ \ \ 2)\end{matrix}$$
Thus, we need to solve
$$a(1,0,1)+b(0,1,-1)+c(0,2,2)=0$$
i.e.,
$$\begin{matrix}a&\cdot&\color{red}{1}&+&b&\cdot&\color{blue}{\ \ \ 0}&+&c&\cdot&\color{green}{0}&=&0\\ a&\cdot&\color{red}{0}&+&b&\cdot&\color{blue}{\ \ \ 1}&+&c&\cdot&\color{green}{2}&=&0\\ a&\cdot&\color{red}{1}&+&b&\cdot&\color{blue}{-1}&+&c&\cdot&\color{green}{2}&=&0\end{matrix}$$

*In the same fashion, we need to solve
$$a(1,0,1)+b(0,1,-1)+c(0,2,2)=(x,y,z)$$ for arbitrary $xt^2+yt+z$ in $P_2$,
i.e.,
$$\begin{matrix}a&\cdot&\color{red}{1}&+&b&\cdot&\color{blue}{\ \ \ 0}&+&c&\cdot&\color{green}{0}&=&x\\ a&\cdot&\color{red}{0}&+&b&\cdot&\color{blue}{\ \ \ 1}&+&c&\cdot&\color{green}{2}&=&y\\ a&\cdot&\color{red}{1}&+&b&\cdot&\color{blue}{-1}&+&c&\cdot&\color{green}{2}&=&z\end{matrix}$$
If we can solve $a,b,c$ regard to $x,y,z$, then we are done. $\Box$

A: I think I got the answer. Correct me if I am wrong:
A set of vector S in a vector space V is called a basis of V if S spans V and S is linearly independent.
We just need to answer the question: Does S spans V? and Is S Linearly Independent?

A: Hint:  The determinat of the matrix $\begin{pmatrix}  1&0&1 \\ -1 &1&0\\2&2&0 \end{pmatrix}$ is not zero.

A: Hint: To prove linear independence you can use the Wronskian.

In the Matter of Cha Jung Hee
Her passport said she was Cha Jung Hee. She knew she was not. So began a 40-year deception for a Korean adoptee who came to the US in 1966. Told to keep her true identity a secret from her new American family, this eight-year-old girl quickly forgot she was ever anyone else. But why had her identity been switched? And who was the real Cha Jung Hee? IN THE MATTER OF CHA JUNG HEE is the search to find the answers. It follows acclaimed filmmaker Deann Borshay Liem as she returns to her native Korea to find her "double," the mysterious girl whose place she took in America. Traversing the landscapes of memory, amnesia and identity, while also uncovering layers of deception in her adoption, this moving and provocative film probes the ethics of international adoptions and reveals the cost of living a lie. Part mystery, part personal odyssey, it raises fundamental questions about who we are…and who we could be but for the hands of fate.
IN THE MATTER OF CHA JUNG HEE is a co-production of Mu Films and the Independent Television Service (ITVS), in association with Center for Asian American Media (CAAM), Katahdin Productions, and American Documentary/P.O.V., with major funding provided by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB).
Comcast Audience Award, Best Documentary, San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival

Special Jury Award, Best Editing, Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival
Filmmaker's Statement
Cha Jung Hee and I were fellow orphans at the Sun Duck Orphanage in South Korea in the 1960s. She and I had nothing in common and I did not know her personally. And yet, at age eight, just before I was sent to the United States to be adopted by the Borshay family in California, my identity was switched with hers without anyone's knowledge. I was given Cha Jung Hee's name, birth date and family history and told to keep the switch a secret. Simultaneously, through a bureaucratic sleight of hand, my previous identity was completely erased. For years, Cha Jung Hee was, paradoxically, both a stranger and also my official identity – a persona unknown, but always present, defining my life. In my new film, IN THE MATTER OF CHA JUNG HEE, I search for Cha Jung Hee finally to put her erstwhile existence to rest by meeting her in real life and finding out how she has fared.
In the course of my journey, I meet many women named Cha Jung Hee and through their stories imagine what my life would have been like had I stayed in Korea. I also delve deeper into the bureaucratic switch that changed my life and, in the process, raise questions about the history and ethics of international adoptions from South Korea.
Synopsis / 시놉시스
"Haunting and personal..Liem crafts a compelling tale of misplaced identities."
"A fascinating window into the world of international and transracial adoption."
Hyphen Magazine
"... a masterful, moving and cathartic documentary, a near-perfect companion to, and completion of, the brave journey begun in FIRST PERSON PLURAL.

Hyundai's new Kona EV boasts 406-km range on single charge
SEOUL, Aug. 28 (Yonhap) — South Korea's biggest carmaker Hyundai Motor Co.'s new electric version of its Kona subcompact sport utility vehicle (SUV) boasted an impressive battery range and various safety features on the roads surrounding Seoul on Tuesday.
During the 90-minute, 100-kilometer course through the towns of Ilsan and Paju, the eco-friendly car showed off its 64-kWh battery pack to its full advantage, with a range of 406 kilometers (252 miles) on a single charge. The lower-trim model bearing a 39.2-kWh battery is rated to a range of 254 km per charge.
The long-range version takes around 9 hours and 35 minutes to recharge, while the base model requires 6 hours and 10 minutes to top off. It's battery can reach 80 percent of its capacity in less than an hour on a special fast charger, Hyundai said.
The car, which can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in about nine seconds, was very stable even when it hit speeds of 140 km per hour in heavy rain. The maximum speed of the higher trim model exceeds 160 km per hour.
The Kona EV also showed off a host of safety features, such as forward collision avoidance with pedestrian detection, blind spot warning and lane following assistance.
Noticeably, the new zero-emission car is equipped with an impressive semi-autonomous safety feature called "smart cruise control" with full stop-and-go capability.
Inside the car, a seven-inch infotainment touchscreen displays a host of information such as energy usage and is compatible with Apple CarPlay. The screen is also in linked with a head-up display placed before the windshield.
Hyundai said that despite the impressive array of features, the models comes at reasonable prices between 46.5 million won (US$43,500) and 48.5 million won, with the total going down to 29.5-31.5 million won in Seoul due to state subsidies.

How to Download Apps & Games on iPhone Using AppValley App
By Vincent Masikati	 Last updated Nov 25, 2021 6 minute read
Last updated on November 25th, 2021 at 11:10 am
AppValley is the solution to all the problems faced by Apple users. This application, AppValley, is a third-party app store, which allows its users to download paid apps or apps that are not available in their country. Since Apple has a very rigid control over all the apps installed or access to its users, you can't download apps using APKs as you would in android.
However, with help of AppValley, you can successfully bypass this restriction to get whatever application you want for free. In this guide, we will be looking into how you can get AppValley on your iOS device. Before we get into how to download AppValley, we will first look at all its features and details so we can get a clearer idea.
AppValley
AppValley is an alternate version of the App Store, but the only distinguishing feature is that it offers all the apps for free. You can access all the apps available on the App Store using AppValley for free. This is a very unique app as Apple constantly patches and shut down all these third-party stores with each new update, but so far AppValley has not been affected by these updates. Boasting a library of over 2 million applications, AppValley pretty much has every single app that you can imagine, and most of these are modded which means they offer premium features for free.
If you are an Apple user, AppValley is probably the best course of action for you to get all the apps that were blocked by a paywall.
Let's look at all the features and apps that are accessible through the use of AppValley
Modded Apps Are Available
With the help of AppValley, you can access modded applications that have been enhanced or improved to give to the best experience.
Safe To Install
All the applications that can be found on the AppValley store are safe to install and use. These applications have been tried and tested before being made available to download.
Getting App Valley on your iOS device is not at all difficult, you can have the AppValley store installed on your device in about 5-10 minutes. So pretty much low effort and high rewards for the users.
Something that matters a lot while using the application, is how responsive and easy it is to use it is. AppValley is pretty much similar to the App Store in terms of its UI and is easy to understand and use.
No need to Jailbreak the Device
One big issue with accessing paid apps for free on an iOS device is that you need to jailbreak the device. Jailbreaking, basically means that you override the restrictions imposed on the device by the manufacturer but this means that the warranty of the device becomes void. AppValley pretty much offers the same features as a rooted iOS device.
How To Install AppValley on iOS Device
Similar to enabling the "Install from Unknown Sources" option in Android, in iOS we need to make sure that your device trusts the AppValley application. Hence, we need to take some steps to ensure that the device trusts the app, follow the steps mentioned below to properly install the AppValley app.
Step 1: You need to first download the AppValley configuration profile onto your iOS device. Click here to start downloading the profile.
Step 2: Once the profile has been downloaded, you need to navigate to your device settings and open "Profile Downloaded"
Step 3: In the Profile Downloaded section you will find AppValley, click on it to start installing the App on your device.
Step 4: Once the app has been installed, try opening the application. If the app is working fine then carry on. but if the app is still not trusted by your iOS device.
Step 5: if on opening the app, it's still not trusted by your iOS device, then navigate back to the settings and head to profiles once more.

Hi I propose an ASP.NET MVC website for your purpose. I can build the site from scratch in just 10 days. thanks.


It's been a while since I've actually pulled together a release, but thanks to everyone's great feedback and encouraging messages, there are a bunch of new features and bug-fixes that need to get out of the SVN tree.
Hosts files – you can provide a list of hosts to connect to, and optionally remote commands to run, in a file or even piped through stdin. See hosts.


Google has yet to come up with a direct response to Apple's plan to ditch Google Maps and move forward with their own in-house Maps application using 3D vector technology. This may have caused considerable tension between the two juggernauts and we can now tell you that there is also a very serious risk of Apple's rumored iPhone 5 launching without a native YouTube application.
On Monday, Apple released the very latest version of their beta for iOS 6 and it was discovered that the YouTube app that was featured in previous beta versions of iOS 6 has been removed. Ever since the problems with Adobe Flash and iOS, Apple chose to develop the YouTube app themselves, of course with the permission of Google who now owns the video sharing website.
However, Apple has now issued a rare public statement, confirming to Reuters that their license with Google to provide a native YouTube application on iOS has in fact expired. They also included the vital information stating that users will still be able to access YouTube through the Safari browser, but more importantly – Google are said to be developing their own version of YouTube for iOS.
Many consumers do not like the current YouTube application that is available at the moment anyway, so perhaps some may see this as a blessing in disguise if Google is now building a new version. At the moment, the app doesn't allow users to search for videos using filters and you'll probably agree with us that this is a feature that is badly needed on the iPhone.
There is obviously no HD quality settings either, so hopefully once the Google-built YouTube app is out on iOS, the ability to change video quality as on desktop will come as standard. How long will Google need to develop their own YouTube though if they are unwilling to offer a new license to Apple to continue with the existing app?
With just one month to go until the next iPhone arrives (if rumors are correct), then Google may be unable to provide a YouTube app on iOS before the iPhone 5 launches. More worryingly for fans, they may not want to either as a further slap in the face to Apple.
What are your thoughts on this? Would you be upset if there is no YouTube app at launch for the next iPhone? Do you also see this as a blessing in disguise or not?
Being a Google fan, I'm actually upset that Google is developing another YouTube app for Apple. I would have been happy if Google banned rights to YouTube for Apple and let them find another video sharing app since Apple loves being so proprietary about everything.
I want an mini ipad bad and an iphone 5 bad if they get rid of youtube i would rethink that just from that step. I really like youtube.
They better not get rid of youtube >!!!
Not buying apples anymore Rip offffs what was with iPhone 4 s ?
The native app is horrible. Why would anyone miss it? The mobile site is much better and has all the features you need. If they make a separate app, they should just make it based on the mobile site.

Gibson Energy COVID-19 Update 4
As the situation with COVID-19 continues to evolve, Gibson Energy is committed to the health and well-being of our employees, our stakeholders and the communities in which we operate. Gibson has transitioned its Pandemic Response Team to the Re-Entry Team and continues to meet regularly to proactively plan and monitor developments in our operating areas. The Re-Entry Team continues to plan, educate and inform Gibson employees on how to safely and effectively navigate the re-entry process.
Our focus and priorities continue to be:
Health and Safety of our workforce
Continuity of business operations
Update and inform stakeholders of new policies and procedures
Support the community
Health and Safety of the Workforce
Our approach to returning to the office in each of our operating areas continues to be guided by federal, provincial and municipal guidelines. We continue to use public health authority's guidance to inform our decision to have employees back in the office. In areas of operations where COVID-19 numbers are high, only essential workers are at the workplace with the remainder of employees working from home. In areas of operations where COVID-19 case numbers are stable, Gibson workplaces operate with strictly controlled guidelines to ensure a safe transition back to the workplace. Gibson has implemented a phased re-entry approach for staff to ensure that physical distancing measures can be adhered to. Remote work continues to be utilized and many employees alternate between working from home and working from the workplace.
Gibson has implemented extensive health and safety protocols to keep employees safe as we re-enter the office. These protocols are based on guidance from health authorities and government agencies.
These measures include:
Limiting our office capacity
Prior to entering the workplace, all Gibson employees must complete a weekly Self- Assessment Health Questionnaire.
Employees are required to do temperature checks and monitor for symptoms daily. If a temperature above 38 Celsius is recorded, employees are required to stay home and follow steps in Self-Assessment Health Questionnaire
Masks are required upon entry of all buildings and in all common areas within the offices and workplaces
Strict adherence to physical distancing measures at all times
Limits on number of individuals allowed in elevators at one time.
Modified use of kitchen and no access to shared dishes or utensils.
All employees have been provided with a mask and personal hand sanitizer for their use
Increased cleaning of all high touch areas
Utilizing technology to facilitate meetings and townhalls
Limited visitor access
In our field locations, we are continuing operations and have implemented the following measures to ensure the health and safety of our employees:
Limiting the number of employees onsite
Prior to entering the workplace, all Gibson employees are required to complete a weekly Self- Assessment Health Questionnaire to reflect and monitor their health
Employees are required to do daily temperature checks. If a temperature above 38 °C is recorded, they are required to stay home and follow steps in Self-Assessment Health Questionnaire
Masks are required upon entry of all buildings and when working in close proximity
Strict adherence to physical distancing measurers
Gibson continues to withstand the economic downturn of the energy sector and remains well-positioned to navigate the challenges of COVID-19. Our robust portfolio and assets remain, and we continue to deliver best in class services to our valued customers and stakeholders.
Supporting the communities that we live and operate in has remained at the forefront of Gibson's response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Gibson Energy recently announced a $1 million donation and a five-year-partnership with Trellis as their Youth Mental Health Champion. We have also launched Youth Mental Health Partnerships in the areas that Gibson operates.
Gibson employees have continued to show solidarity and support to their communities by raising over $250,000, with Gibson's match, this year alone. Since the COVID-19 pandemic was declared, we have partnered with long-term care facilities to offer support to vulnerable residents through this time of isolation and have provided front-line workers with warm meals as they continue to care for patients.

Each year, Wedding and Portrait Photographers International (WPPI) holds a conference and expo that brings together thousands and thousands of industry professionals to learn new techniques, share ideas, build a network of colleagues, and try out new products and services.
WPPI 2016 was a smashing success, to say the least. Aside from all the educational opportunities afforded to attendees, there was a vast selection of companies displaying their latest, greatest products and services on the expo floor. I was there and got to reconnect with old friends in the industry and had a chance to meet up-and-comers in the photography world as well.
I was amazed at the selection of products and services laid out on the expo floor, and that got me thinking - which companies are the best of the best for 2016? To answer that question, I set out to learn as much as I could about this year's companies and what they have to offer. I managed to hand-select ten companies that demonstrated over the course of the expo that they are at the forefront of innovation, have exemplary products for photographers, and offer solutions that make being a photographer more fun, more productive, and more profitable.
So, without further ado, here are the ten best companies of WPPI 2016!
Having a web presence as a photographer is of critical importance. But the problem with developing a website is that they either cost too much money, take too much time, or just aren't all that great to look at. One Day Labs felt the same way, so they developed a process by which they build a high-quality website that looks great, only takes one business day to build, and is inexpensive.
It sounds too good to be true, right? Well, it's not! One Day Labs sets itself apart from the competition by taking a collaborative approach to the web design process. They specialize in custom builds to fit your needs. You'll have a project manager that's with you every step of the way from idea inception to launch. There are a variety of CMSs from which to choose, so you can have your website built on the platform that works best for your needs. Perhaps best of all, the process is painless, creative, and fun. And did I mention it's inexpensive?
Spider Holster has an extensive product line that focuses on helping you shoot in a manner that is more intuitive, more productive, and more comfortable. That's a combination you can't beat!
Their flagship product, the Spider Pro Holster, allows you to carry your big DSLR safely and securely on your hip for fast, easy access. Spider Pro hasn't forgotten about photographers with smaller cameras either: Their Black Widow holster offers the same functionality as the Spider Pro, but is specifically designed for smaller DSLRs, point-and-shoot cameras, and small video cameras. Their latest innovation, the SpiderLight Hand Strap, is also a nod to smaller cameras, and gives mirrorless camera owners the ability to hand hold their camera in a comfortable, secure fashion that puts their hand in the perfect position to reach every button and dial.
I've talked in previous articles about what an innovative company Spider Holster is, so it makes sense that they hold a position in the ten best companies of WPPI 2016. In fact, I'm hard-pressed to think of a company that has had a bigger impact on the way in which wedding and portrait photographers go about the business of taking photos!
What do all wedding photographers want, but often can't find? A great second shooter! Gifyyy understands that problem, which is why they developed their cutting-edge animated GIF photobooth.
Gifyyy hit the nail on the head with this photobooth. It's easy to transport and set up on your own. In fact, you can carry it with one hand, set it up in about five minutes, and leave it to run itself while you tackle all your other responsibilities of the day. The interactive booth encourages visitors to "touch me," and when they do, Gifyyy takes a few frames, loops them into a GIF, and displays the result. Even better, the GIF is uploaded to the cloud where guests can have the GIF sent to their mobile phone for easy sharing on social media. Not only will Gifyyy give you an incredibly fun way to entertain guests, but it will also provide you with a creative way to promote your brand: customize Gifyyy's branding with your logo and link to your website so more people see what you have to offer. Innovation, fun, and increasing your bottom line is what Gifyyy is all about!
This list of most innovative companies at WPPI 2016 wouldn't be complete without Magisto, which is bringing artificial intelligence to the wedding and portrait photography industry.
Magisto is a video creation platform that allows you to select photos and videos, choose a theme, add a soundtrack, and write a title, and it will create a beautiful video all on its own. Magisto is able to do this by analyzing each photo and video you select to develop an understanding of what's happening in each frame. Magisto can then select the most important sequences, edit them together, and create a fun and seamless movie experience that's easy to share on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and other social media sites.
Magisto isn't just for fun, though - you can use Magisto for Business to create stunning videos to promote your photography. Create a video to explain who you are and what you do, showcase some of your work, make a movie from the photos you take on a shoot, or use it to announce a new product or service to build excitement about your brand. There are all kinds of applications for Magisto that will help you be more visible to potential customers!
Let's face it - losing your photos is a nightmare scenario that none of us want to experience, yet all too many of us have had to deal with it at some point. No matter how many backups we make, there's always a chance that a hard drive will crash or a memory card will become unreadable.
But with DriveSavers, the stress and worry about data loss is no longer. DriveSavers can retrieve data off of just about any device - your desktop computer, laptop, Solid State Drive, SD card, and even your camera or your phone. No matter what the situation - mechanical failure, fire or water damage, file deletions, data corruption, and more - DriveSavers will save you from disaster and act as your failsafe should something go awry. And the best part? DriveSavers understands that you don't get to pick and choose when you encounter a data loss issue. That's why they are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week to help you get your data back. Talk about awesome customer service! It's that kind of commitment to excellence that snagged DriveSavers a spot on our list.
Unless you've been living under a rock lately, chances are you've heard of DXO and their new ONE camera that transforms your iPhone into a powerful, professional-quality camera.
The DXO ONE has garnered all sorts of awards recently, and for good reason. It can be used as a standalone camera for quick and easy one-handed photo taking. You can pair it with your iPhone to turn the phone into a giant viewfinder for easy photo-taking. It's got all the modes you'd expect on a traditional DSLR - full auto, aperture priority, and full manual shooting so you have complete control over the camera's settings. Sharing is simple as well: connect to social media to share the informal shots you take in your daily life or the photos you take as part of your paid gigs.
What makes DXO such an innovator in the world of photography is that they have developed a product that makes taking photos more intuitive, simple, and easy. We all get tired of lugging around our big, bulky DSLRs - the DXO ONE solves that problem by packing a lot of punch into a tiny camera and harnessing the power of your iPhone to create a truly unique - and useful - product.
It was the year of the photo booth at WPPI 2016! EZ Photo Booths wanted to create a second shooter for wedding and event photographers that was easy to setup and maintain. The result is the T12 photo booth, which, at just 35 pounds, is easy to maneuver around, yet sturdy enough to stand on its own without you having to worry that patrons will accidentally knock it over.
If you're a wedding photographer, the EZ Photo Booth is the perfect accessory to have. You can set it up with a tablet, DSLR, and ring flash, and wedding-goers can take their own candid photos. It gives you a convenient way to get more images of the day, and get the candid images of guests that are often hard to capture when you've got a camera in their face. Not only is this a fun product for your clients to have at their event, but it's also a productive product for you that will add novelty and excitement to the event. Not only that, this is the kind of product that will get clients talking about you, your business, and your services, which will help you get referrals and improve your bottom line. That's a great return on investment!
Part of helping photographers stay profitable is helping them offer products that are exciting and on the cutting-edge of design. WhiteWall does just that, with a wide variety of photography products that make you stand out from the crowd. Prints under acrylic glass, HD metal prints, solid wood framed prints, and canvas prints are just a few of the items you can tantalize your clients with. WhiteWall's products are among the highest quality in the business, and come with a five-year guarantee too!
But WhiteWall isn't one of our top companies just because of their products. They also make our list because of their easy, streamlined ordering process. You just upload the photo to WhiteWall, select one of their awesome products, determine the custom size of print you want, and place your order. It's an incredibly simple process that gives you the power to provide top-notch products to your clients without having to spend a ton of time selecting or ordering what you want. So not only can you give your clients a high-quality product, you can do so in just a few minutes!
I think we're all in agreement that one of the best ways for clients to view photos is still in a good, old-fashioned photo album. There's just something about being able to hold an album in your hands, having that tactile experience while you gaze upon the photos, that's so much more satisfying than clicking a button to scroll through photos online.
Album Registry understands that the digital age is upon us, and utilizes modern technologies to help you crowdfund a photo album that will last your clients for generations. Essentially, Album Registry is a crowdfunding/registry platform that allows you to help your clients get exactly the photography extras they'd like and having their family and friends contribute an amount towards the final cost. Not only does this approach to interactive gift-giving get everyone involved and feel like they're contributing to something meaningful, but it also helps spread the cost around, saving your clients money in the process.
And like many of the companies listed here, Album Registry takes an approach that makes life as a photographer easier and simpler. Just give your clients some of your registry cards with a special link to your Album Registry site, for them to put in their invitations. Guests then go to the Album Registry link, contribute an amount towards the cost of the album/canvas/photobooth, and checkout. Once the registry reaches its target, the photographer is forwarded the funds along with a PDF of all those who have contributed and they design and manufacture as they normally would. What a great way to capture memories and get everyone involved and invested in the event!
Another entrant into the storage and backup field at WPPI 2016 that really impressed me is G-Technology. The company has created a line of external hard drives specifically designed for photographers that make storage safe and editing a breeze. G-Technology's products are small, lightweight, and portable, yet incredibly durable, expandable, and reliable. Use them in the studio, on location, or at points in between with bus-powered drives that don't need to be plugged into the wall. That gives you a level of portability that makes your life much easier.
But the best feature of G-Technology's products is their speed. Sometimes, time is of the essence, and you can't afford to sit around and wait while your files transfer to your drives. But with G-Technology, even RAW files transfer at breakneck speed - up to 12 times faster than FireWire 800.

With the development of the company in the electroplating segment, our appetite for more increased. As a result, we decided to expand our business activities to include production of chairs and metal furniture fittings – furniture legs.
To meet even the customers' largest requirements, only the best products must be made. A well-equipped machine park must be available in order to make the best products. Our company is characterised by both; to this, we add diligence which is handed down from generation to generation and in this way chairs and furniture fittings are created, which have been enjoying constant recognition for many years.

You send us a selected pattern of the metal element.
After it has been received, we set about developing an order proposal which is then send to you.
After the proposal has been approved, we are ready to implement it as precisely as possible.
You are therefore encouraged to take advantage of the offer of production of chairs and furniture legs.


Based on a simple symbiosis between trestle and top, the Trestle collection is constructed from two wooden frames locked in place via pivoting pin. A rigid top featuring a bend on edges, cradles the frame, holding it in place under tension.
The collection includes two sizes of (wooden) structures and three sizes of (metal) tops, to create three typologies of table: Side board (console), coffee table and a side table.
This system of proportions between the collection of tables allow for various frame and top combinations in terms of materials, colours, rodded grid, plates, and finish.

Eurovision 1978: And The UK's 12 Points Go to...Belgium!
Eurovision 1978: Jean Vallée sings for Belgium
"And our twelve points go to..."
With the victory of L'oiseau et l'enfant by Marie Myriam at the 1977 competition, the Eurovision Song Contest travelled to Paris in 1978 - specifically the Palais des congrès.
It was there where we learned that it would be Israel's year, winning the coveted crown for the first time since her début in 1973. In fact, it was the Middle Eastern nation which pocketed the most maximum scores on the night, with six countries awarding Izhar Cohen and the Alphabeta's A-Ba-Ni-Bi their twelve points.
However, that song was not everyone's favourite. Five nations much preferred the entry which had been performed tenth out of that year's field of twenty: L'amour, ça fait chanter la vie, Belgium's effort sung by crooner Jean Vallée.
The United Kingdom was among that quintet, which included Ireland, Greece, Monaco and France.
Jean Vallée in 1970
In fact, Vallée was no stranger to the Eurovision stage. In 1970, he had previously competed for Belgium with the song Viens, l'oublier (Come, Forget Him), but in a year which was dominated by both Ireland and the UK, his song was only able to accumulate five points and finish joint eighth.
1978 would be different, though. At the point when the UK awarded Belgium its maximum score, the Belgian song had already received two sets of twelve marks and only two points separated it from the consistently high scoring Israeli entry.
However, although Vallée would be awarded the top score two more times, it was following the British vote when A-Ba-Ni-Bi really began to motor. Israel was immediately gifted a collection of five consecutive twelve points and the writing was on the wall for L'amour, ça fait chanter la vie. By the time the voting was completed, Belgium had to be content with a very worthy second place - albeit 32 points behind the Israeli winner.
A-Ba-Ni-Bi seemed as if it should have been the natural recipient of the the UK's twelve points; a song crafted in the style of several of the then-recent British entries - very bouncy and very catchy. So, it was something of a surprise when Belgium bagged our top score.
Nevertheless, there's no doubting that the late-lamented Jean Vallée was a gifted performer and a superb singer, but his vocal style was very much a throwback to a bygone era - even for the late 1970s. L'amour, ça fait chanter la vie sounded as if it was straight out of the Jacques Brel songbook and Vallée's dramatic vocals and story-telling quality echoed his countryman at his best.
In retrospect, Israel's entry was perhaps the more logical winner as it reflected one of several popular music genres of the era: the disco craze. However, the Belgian song - while an excellent example of its type - appeared to be completely out of step with the times.
The UK's Top 3 in 1978
Belgium: Jean Vallée: L'amour, ça fait chanter la vie - 12 points
Monaco: Caline and Olivier Toussaint: Les jardins de Monaco - 10 points
France: Joël Prévost: Il y aura toujours des violons - 8 points

HOUSTON – On October 18, Associated Builders and Contractors of Greater Houston (ABC) held the Excellence in Construction Awards (EIC), which showcased forty-four projects built by ABC Greater Houston members that were rigorously judged on an array of criteria. This event, established in 2000, recognizes outstanding projects in the commercial and industrial construction industry.
Along with Mabile, emcee Jim McIngvale, better known as Mattress Mack, was on hand to help congratulate the winners. Mattress Mack shared his common belief of the importance of the merit shop philosophy and discussed his personal experiences with the audience.
ABC is a national construction industry trade association representing more than 21,000 members nationwide. Locally, the ABC Greater Houston chapter was founded in 1969, and today serves several hundred commercial and industrial contractors, suppliers, and construction associates in the Greater Houston area.
ABC members are renowned for their dedication to safety and excellence in the construction field, and the awards program demonstrated that commitment. The projects were evaluated by local owners, architects, and engineers on safety, execution of design, craftsmanship, attention to detail, installation, and other considerations.
ABC Greater Houston also awarded the coveted Best of Houston Award to Manhattan Construction Company for the United Airlines New Terminal C North at Houston Intercontinental Airport. The Best of Houston Award recognizes the highest scoring project that best represents the industry and city. This title holds the highest honor after having been evaluated diligently and Manhattan Construction Company will hold the award until the next winner is announced at the 2019 EIC Awards.


Qatar is reducing emphasis on direct investment.
Qatar's sovereign wealth fund is reducing its focus on investments in Europe and placing more of its money with external managers following an internal review, sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.
Qatar Investment Authority, estimated by industry tracker Sovereign Wealth Fund Institute to hold $256 billion of assets, is known as an aggressive investor in high-profile European assets such as the Shard skyscraper and Harrods department store in London, as well as Credit Suisse and Volkswagen .
But its review, which follows sharp falls in the prices of some of the European assets and a plunge in oil and gas prices that slashed Qatar's export revenues, led to an understanding that QIA is "overcommitted" in Europe and should put less emphasis on direct investment, the sources said.
Instead, the QIA is placing more money with external managers, who have been told that investments should be spread out globally but particularly in Asia and the United States.
The sources, who are familiar with QIA because of close business links to the fund, declined to be named because of commercial sensitivities. A public relations agency representing QIA said the fund had no comment.
The sources said one of the reasons for changing strategy was the poor performance of QIA's investments in German carmaker Volkswagen and London-listed commodities trading house Glencore.
Shares in Volkswagen, in which QIA is the third-largest shareholder with a 17 per cent stake worth around $13 billion at market prices, are down 52 per cent from their March 2015 peak after the company was caught cheating on diesel emissions tests.
QIA owns 9 per cent of Glencore, a stake worth about $3 billion at market prices, according to Thomson Reuters data. Glencore's shares are down 49 per cent from their 2015 peak because of concern over its ability to cope with low global metals prices.
In the wake of these debacles, "QIA's days of glitzy investments are numbered," said one of the sources.
The sources said, however, that there was no indication that QIA would reduce its existing stakes in big European firms such as Volkswagen and Glencore.
The secretive fund does not disclose many details of its asset allocations around the world. Last September, it opened an investment office in New York and said it planned to invest $35 billion in the United States over the next five years.
Two of the sources said QIA was keen to strengthen its involvement in "responsible investing", a style of asset management which emphasises protecting the environment, consumers and human rights.
