, also known as , was a renowned Japanese poet and military commander who served as tandai ("constable") of Kyūshū under the Ashikaga bakufu from 1371 to 1395. His father, Imagawa Norikuni, had been a supporter of the first Ashikaga shōgun, Ashikaga Takauji, and for his services had been granted the position of constable of Suruga Province (modern-day Shizuoka Prefecture). This promotion increased the prestige of the Imagawa family (a warrior family dating from the Muromachi period, which was related by blood to the Ashikaga shoguns) considerably, and they remained an important family through to the Edo period.

Sadayo's early life
During his early years Sadayo was taught Buddhism, Confucianism and Chinese, archery, and the military arts such as strategy and horse-back riding by his father (governor of the Tōkaidō provinces Tōtōmi and Suruga), along with poetry, which was to become one of his greatest passions. In his twenties he studied under Tamemoto of the Kyogoku school of poetry, and Reizei Tamehide of the Reizei school. At some point, he was appointed to head the boards of retainers and coadjudicators. He had taken religious vows when the Ashikaga bakufu called upon him to travel to Kyūshū and assume the post of constable of the region in 1370 after the failure of the previous constable to quell the rebel uprisings in the region, largely consisting of partisans of the Souther Court supporting one of the rebellious Emperor Go-Daigo's sons, Prince Kanenaga. By 1374–1375, Sadayo had crushed the rebellion, securing for the Bakufu northern Kyūshū, and ensuring the eventual failure of the rebellion and the consequent success of the Bakufu Shogunate.

Kyūshū Tandai (1371–1395)
Sadayo's skill as a strategist was obvious, and he moved rapidly through northern Kyūshū with a great deal of success, bringing the region under his control by October 1372. This was an impressive achievement considering Prince Kanenaga had been fortifying his position in this region for more than a decade. Kanenaga was not defeated outright however, and went on the defensive, leading to a stalemate that lasted through to 1373, when Kanenaga's general, Kikuchi Takemitsu, died, leaving his military with no strong leader. Sadayo seized the opportunity and planned a final attack.

Sadayo met with three of the most powerful families on Kyūshū to gain their support in the attack, those families being the Shimazu, the Ōtomo and the Shōni. Things seemed to be going well until Sadayo suspected the head of the Shoni family of treachery and had him killed at a drinking party. This outraged the Shimazu clan, who had originally been the ones to convince the Shōni to throw their lot in with Sadayo, and they returned to their province of Satsuma to raise a force against Sadayo. This gave Prince Kanenaga time to regroup, and he forced Sadayo back North, prompting Sadayo to request assistance from the Bakufu.

Sadayo took matters into his own hands, but was aided by his son Yoshinori and his younger brother Tadaaki.  Sadayo continued to push the loyalists forces until their resistance ended with Prince Kanenaga's death in 1383.  The death of Shimazu clan chieftain Ujihasa in 1385 also helped ease tensions between Sadayo and the Shimazu for a time. In 1377, Korean diplomat Jeong Mong-ju arrived in Japan with complaints about the raids of wokou - Japanese pirates striking from bases on Kyūshū and other southern isles of Japan. Sadayo defeated many of the pirate bands and returned captured civilians and property to Korea.

In 1395 both the Ōuchi and Ōtomo families conspired against Sadayo, informing the Bakufu that he was plotting against the shōgun, in a move that was likely an attempt to restore the post of constable to the family that had held it prior to Sadayo, the Shibukawa family. Sadayo was relieved of his post and returned to the capital. Sadayo had, in addition, acted fairly independently in his negotiations with the Shimazu, the Ōtomo and the Shōni, and also in negotiations with Korea about the wokou; this recall was prompted by all three causes being used against him by his enemies in the Shogun's court.

Later years (1395–1420)
In 1400 Sadayo was once again questioned by the Bakufu, this time in relation to the Imagawa's province of Tōtōmi's failure to respond to a levy issued by the Bakufu—a negligence interpretable as treason and rebellion. This charge saw Sadayo stripped of his post as constable of Suruga and Tōtōmi provinces, and gave him reason to believe he might be assassinated. With this in mind he fled the capital for a time, though was later pardoned and returned to the capital, spending the rest of his days pursuing religious devotions and poetry until his death in 1420.

Sadayo's poetry
Sadayo began composing poetry from an early age: by the age 20, he had a poem included in an imperial anthology (the Fūga Wakashū or "Collection of Elegance"; Earl Miner gives the specific entry as XV: 1473).  His teacher was Reizei no Tamehide (d. 1372). His poems were displayed to more effect in his fairly popular and influential travel diary, Michiyukiburi ("Travellings"). It was this travel diary that in large part won Sadayo a place as a respected critic of poetry: he felt that poetry should be a direct expression of personal experience, a fact that can be seen from his own poems.

Even though Sadayo is better known for his criticism of the more conservative poetry styles, the Nijo school in particular, and his tutoring of Shōtetsu (1381–1459), who would become one of the finest waka poets of the fifteenth century, than he is for his own output, it nonetheless provides a glimpse into the mind of this medieval scholar and his travels.

Sadayo was active in the poetic disputes of that day, scoring a signal victory over the Nijō adherents close to the Ashikaga Shogunate at the time with 6 polemical treatises on poetry he wrote between 1403 and 1412, defending the Reizei's poetic doctrine and their cause (despite Ryōshun's renga poetry's debt to Nijō Yoshimoto's (1320–1388) examples and rules of composition). Ryōshun used a number of quotations to bolster his case, including notably a quote of Fujiwara no Teika's, which was that all of the "ten styles" (Teika had defined ten orthodox poetic styles, such as  yoen, a style concerned with "ethereal beauty", yūgen, the demon-quelling style, or the one the Nijo championed to the exclusion of the other 9, ushin) were licit for poetic use and experimentation, and not merely the Nijō's ushin. With the aid Ryōshun afforded him, Fujiwara no Tanemasa's politicking eventually succeeded in converting the Shogun, ending the matter- until the rival Asukai poetic clan revived the dispute, that is.

Waterline tiles provide the final finishing touch for your pool. Aesthetically, they allow you to match or contrast your pool colour and/or pool's surroundings. Waterline tiles avoid having a dry, washed out look between the coping and the water that you can get with render finishes.
On a practical level, tiles are easier to clean than cement based rendered surfaces such as pebblecrete used in concrete pools. Waterline tiles greatly increase the ease of cleaning the dirt that deposits on the walls of the pool at the waterline.
Fully tiling a pool is regarded as the premium interior finish for concrete in-ground swimming pools. Mosaic tiles are extremely durable as well as offering almost limitless design and colour choices. Small mosaic tiles look fantastic, are easy to maintain and most importantly are gentle on your feet due to their silky smoothness. There are two main types of mosaic pool tile that are commonly used; glass mosaics and glazed ceramic mosaics.
Pool coping is usually either external tiles or natural stone. Pool coping is the top area that goes around the outside edge of the pool. The porcelain external tiles need to be vitrified which means they look the same all the way through. This is so we can get the tiles bullnosed. Bullnosing is where you round the edge so no one harms them self-getting in and out of the pool. Some tilers are happy to mitre the pool edge on-site.

A staggering 43 million Indian women are affected by heart disease, with one in every three women dying of the condition as against one in 31 from breast cancer and experts say that it is post-menopausal women who are at a greater risk. Tapan Ghose, director and head of department of cardiac sciences at Paras Hospitals, said that in 2012, 56 percent of women identified heart disease as the leading cause of death compared with 30 percent in 1997. 'India is considered the cardiac as well as the diabetic country of the world. It has been estimated that 60 percent of the Indian population is suspected to be suffering from some cardio-vascular disease. Ninety percent of women have one or more risk factors for developing heart disease,' Ghose told IANS.

'While one in 31 Indian women die of breast cancer each year, one in three dies of heart disease,' he added. Agreeing with Ghose, N.N. Khanna, senior consultant, cardiology at Indraprastha Apollo hospital, said that post-menopausal women are at greater risk as compared to their male counterparts. 'Once they develop a cardiac disease, chances are they might face death due to it. We do not have real statistics in India; but death toll is higher in India since women are prone to diabetes,' Khanna told IANS. Women are more susceptible to cardiac ailments after menopause since their natural protection wears off, he added.

According to Deepak Khurana, director of cardio thoracic and vascular surgery at Rockland Hospital, Manesar, urbanization of society, stress level, smoking, consumption of alcohol and lack of physical work are some of the main reasons for the growing trend. Anil Bansal, chief cardiologist at Columbia Hospital, Gurgaon, said that diabetes, hypertension and obesity are equally responsible. 'With changed patterns in urban culture, the trend of smoking and excessive alcohol has increased among women, making them vulnerable to heart diseases. Cardiovascular diseases are also rising due to affluence with which there is increased dependence on junk food, leading to rising heart conditions,' Bansal told IANS. 'Along with high cholesterol, obesity, reduced physical activity combined with over-nutrition, increase in smoking and alcohol consumption and sedentary or moderate lifestyle,' he added.
Intake of oral contraceptives is another reason, said Khanna. Listing out the challenges faced by women suffering from heart diseases, Khanna said that symptoms of cardiac ailments can be very different in women as compared to men. 'Women usually have atypical symptoms such as breathlessness, palpitations, listlessness, fatigue, dizziness, nausea, vomiting… which are difficult to diagnose. 'Another challenge is denial amongst women and society when it comes to female health. Women tend to neglect their health and disregard the symptoms and hence, early detection of the disease is not possible,' he contended. He added that the biggest challenge for women suffering from heart diseases is to get the appropriate diagnosis at right time which he said can be attained by long-term heart monitoring with the help of implantable devices like Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD). 'The device automatically monitors heart rhythm and delivers therapy as needed to prevent sudden cardiac arrest,' he said. Sharing similar opinion, Bansal said that proper diagnosis is one of the many challenges as the heart disease is either misdiagnosed or the symptoms are perceived to be linking towards some other heart problem. (Read: 11 symptoms of menopause that you should be aware of)
'The reason behind this is that the symptoms are vague and the parameters of diagnosis of heart disease is majorly based on symptoms that are found in men which result in under diagnosis. Symptoms can be atypical from men, normal classic symptoms are less, more shortness of breath, and even modern standard screening test like exercise stress test are more likely to be falsely positive in women,' he said. So, what precautionary measures can women take? 'Women should ensure that they brisk walk for at least 20 minutes. They should also meditate and do yoga. It is also essential to control their level of stress along with quitting smoking and controlling their intake of alcohol,' advised Khurana.
What is menopause?
Menopause is a process during which a woman's reproductive and hormonal cycles slow down, her periods(menstruation) eventually stop, ovaries stop releasing eggs for fertilization and produce less estrogen and progesterone, and the possibility of pregnancy ends. A natural event, which takes place in most women in the 45-55 age group, of menopausal onsets and rates are influenced by a combination of factors, including heredity, smoking, diet and exercise. Menopause is defined as the day after the woman's final episode of menstrual flow finishes. This date is fixed retrospectively, once 12 months have gone by with no menstrual flow at all.
In a recent trend, Indian woman have shown an increase in the early onset of menopause. According to researchers early onset of menopause is associated with an increased risk of heart conditions and stroke. Pre-menopause are the years leading up to the last period, when the levels of reproductive hormones are already becoming lower and more erratic, and the effects of hormone withdrawal may be present. Often, women who undergo hysterectomies have their ovaries removed and that precipitates rapid menopause. According to research smokers show an earlier onset of menopause by two years as compared to non-smokers. (Read: Menopause: Dealing with its signs and symptoms)

Harlan Hubbard
Life in Payne Hollow
By Don Ward
Harlan Hubbard was known and remembered by many for his writings and art, but it is his philosophy on living off the land in what he called his "experiment in living" that fascinated yet another group of followers.
Initially, Hubbard studied the writings of Henry David Thoreau, who also experimented with self-sufficiency and living off the land. The difference is, Thoreau spent only a couple of years doing it, while the Hubbards devoted most of their life to it.
Even today, Harland and Anna Hubbard are referenced by those studying or writing about homesteading, organic farming or what Michigan author Gene Logsdon called "Contrary Farming."
While the Hubbards sought a life of seclusion on the wooded riverbank of Payne Hollow in Trimble County, Ky., ironically their lifestyle attracted hundreds of visitors during their 40-plus years there – people who came from all over the world, really, to meet them and learn from them. Indeed, the Hubbards lived off the land, with no electricity or running water, but they were surrounded by their art, their music and Mother Nature's beauty.
It is from this simple setting that they existed by drawing water, cutting wood for the fireplace and homemade furnace, raising a garden, tending goats and fishing the Ohio River. Harlan was described by many who knew him as an expert scavenger of scrap materials from which he built useful tools. He used to say that while he was working at these life-sustaining tasks, he was always thinking about what he would write or paint next.
In this day of technological gadgetry, electronics, TV and the Internet, it is hard to imagine ever living that way again.
Paul Hassfurder, the Hubbards' caretaker in their final years who inherited Payne Hollow from Harlan after his death in 1988, says that while we may not be able to live like the them, "the best way to pay tribute to the Hubbards is to incorporate something into your life that you have learned from them. Reading quietly in the evening, playing music, making something with your hands, planting a bigger garden..."
Hassfurder, an artist and musician, still spends a lot of time at Payne Hollow, where he does the chores he once did for the Hubbards. He also greets many visitors there each year and retells the stories about their life in Payne Hollow. He says he is not trying to be Harlan Hubbard, but after 17 years of ownership, Hassfurder says he still feels an obligation to his maintaining the place in the same fashion that Harlan would have done.

Q: marklogic - use distinct-values I try to get distinct values from documents. but it always return duplicate values.
for $uri in cts:uris((),
                     (),
                     cts:and-query(
                       cts:collection-query("/citation/company")
                 )
         )[1 to 1000]
return distinct-values( doc($uri)/PerformingOrganizations/Name)

result:
   EARTH RESEARCH LLC
   EARTH RESEARCH LLC
   EARTH RESEARCH LLC
   EARTH RESEARCH LLC
   EARTH RESEARCH LLC

Why distinct-values returns duplicate values? How can I get result eliminate duplicate values.  Thanks in advance.

A: You are calling distinct-values within the scope of an iterator, so it is called once for every $uri. First collect your sequence of values, then call distinct-values once for all of them.
let $values :=
  for $uri in cts:uris((), 'limit=1000',
    cts:and-query(cts:collection-query("/citation/company")))
  return doc($uri)/PerformingOrganizations/Name
return distinct-values($values)

Also, cts:uris is a lexicon function that will return every result in the index unless specifically limited by an options parameter. Limiting using a predicate will result in the lexicon call returning all of its results first, then the sequence will be limited to the first 1000. Using options to limit instead will result in the function only ever returning the first 1000 results. For indexes with many values, not using  these options can cause performance problems.

A: Hope this XQuery will helpful for you. Try this one.
let $uris := cts:uri-match(('*.xml'),(),cts:collection-query("/citation/company"))
let $name := for $uri in $uris
             return doc($uri)/PerformingOrganizations/Name/text()

return fn:distinct-values($name)

Adopted from our top-of-the-line ? A900, the ? A330 features an advanced D-Range Optimizer that helps you take beautiful photos in difficult lighting conditions. The ?330 features a stylish, modern design with an intuitive button layout for easier operation.
Continuous Shooting lets you shoot at up to 2.5 fps (frames per second) while viewing your subject through the optical viewfinder so you never lose track of the action.
The Auto Pop-Up Flash automatically pops up and fires as needed when the camera is set to certain scene selection modes, helping first-time DSLR photographers shoot more effectively. Smart Teleconverter 2X Digital Zoom lets you zoom in electronically on your subject and reproduces pixels on a 1:1 basis so there's no degradation in picture quality. SteadyShot INSIDE in-camera image stabilization is built into each camera body, so every a-mount lens benefits from the ability to minimize blur due to camera shake. An integrated on-screen Help Guide and Graphic Display help take the complexity out of DSLR photography.
Eye-Start Autofocus System begins precision autofocus adjustments the moment you raise the camera to your eye, so the camera is ready to catch the perfect moment. Anti-Dust Technology helps keep the CCD imager clean, resulting in consistently better pictures, by utilizing a static-free anti-dust coating on the CCD filter, as well as an anti-dust vibration that automatically shakes the CCD to help dislodge dust each time the camera is shut off. A 10.2 megapixel APS-size CCD image sensor captures your images in stunning detail, giving you the freedom to make large prints and tight crops without sacrificing quality.
An HDMI terminal gives you the option of connecting your camera to a compatible HDTV and playing back your images in stunning high definition quality (HDMI cable required, sold separately). 9-Point Center Cross AF Sensor with improved focus control to help bring images into sharp definition more quickly, and predictive focus control automatically calculates the position of fast-moving subjects. Stamina Battery power allows you to take up to 510 shots2 on a fully charged NP-FH50 InfoLITHIUM battery when using the optical viewfinder mode, and you'll be able to see how much power remains in percentage increments, so you can keep shooting in confidence.
PhotoTV HD compatibility3 lets you automatically create high-resolution thumbnails optimized for viewing on a compatible Sony BRAVIA HDTV. Function Guide Display provides intuitive and easy to use on-screen menus that can be activated and operated with one hand using the Fn (Function) button and controller button to adjust Flash mode, Autofocus mode, White Balance, Metering mode, AF area and D-Range Optimizer.
Sony today unveiled their new A850 Digital SLR as part of an update to the company's Alpha camera lineup. The only discernible difference between the new A850 and the A900 is a reduction is viewfinder coverage from 100 percent to 98 percent, which is evidently enough for Sony to be able to shave a huge $700 from the price. The Alpha A850 includes a 3-inch LCD (921k pixels) with 270ppi photo-quality resolution, which combined with an Intelligent Preview Function that allows you to see the effects of manual adjustments before taking a shot, should enable a greater level of control and efficiency with your shooting. This fully-featured pro-DSLR includes a high-capacity lithium-ion battery that will get as many as 880 shots per charge, plus its precise 1 percent charge level monitoring will ensure you don't (unexpectedly) run out of juice.
The A850 is compatible with all official accessories made for the A900 and is compatible with all of Sony's A-Series lenses, including their premium full-frame Carl Zeiss optics. The new DSLR-?850 from Sony offers serious photo enthusiasts a step up to the creative possibilities of full-frame imaging at a compelling price.
Ruggedly built for unflinching pro-style handling and performance, the ?850 shares the same 24.6 megapixel sensor and virtually all features of the flagship DSLR-?900, introduced last year. At the heart of the ?850 is a full frame 24.6 effective megapixel Exmor™ CMOS sensor that captures flawless, detail-packed images with vibrant, lifelike colours and fine textures. The purity of high-resolution image data captured by the full-frame sensor is optimised by two-stage noise reduction in both analogue and digital domains. The camera's optical glass pentaprism viewfinder aids accurate shot composition, offering an extremely bright view with minimal distortion and an approximate 98% field coverage. Serious enthusiasts will also prize the camera's fast, high-accuracy autofocus system that provides excellent framing freedom while making it easier to achieve optimum focus with moving subjects. Shots can be viewed on the large, high contrast 3.0-inch Xtra Fine LCD that offers an exceptionally high resolution (921k dot) for critical evaluation – even outdoors or in bright ambient light. For greater creative control, an Intelligent Preview function indicates the effects of exposure, white balance, and D-Range Optimiser adjustments prior to shooting. Touching the Fn button switches the display to Quick Navi mode, allowing convenient one-handed adjustment of key shooting parameters. Like its full-frame sibling, the ?850 is ruggedly built for dependable performance in gruelling conditions with a high-tensile aluminium chassis and all-magnesium alloy body shell.
The supplied high-capacity InfoLITHIUM™ rechargeable Battery Pack (NP-FM500H) delivers power for up to 880 shots (approx.) per charge. The camera can be connected to your BRAVIA™ or any HD TV (requires optional HDMI cable) for a big-screen view of your shots. The ?850 is fully compatible with the range of official accessories by Sony for the flagship ?900. The choice of full-frame lenses to complement the ?850 is enhanced with the new 28-75mm F2.8 SAM.
Delivered with USB Adaptor, Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo HX 32GB is ideal for users who want to transfer data in high speed: approx.
The DSLR-?850 full-frame digital SLR camera is available from September 2009 and the 28-75mm lens will be available from November 2009. It shoots in 1080p, with full manual controls, and it's amazing what it can do in low light. Sony ? DSLR's responsiveness, versatility and image quality helps capture those moments that other cameras often miss. The ? A330 features a variable-angle LCD monitor that can be tilted up or down making it a snap to capture high-position and low-position photos. The mode dial on top of the ? A330 offers instant access to 6 Scene Selection modes, each with a user-friendly Help Guide and example photo. It also works together with an anti-static coating on the low-pass filter to help keep the image sensor clean. Choose from Standard mode, which optimizes exposure for the scene overall, or Advanced mode, which can be used to bring out rich shadow and highlight detail.
Make your subject the star with a portrait lens, use a macro lens to gain entry into another dimension, or get beautifully balanced, well-lit photos with an external flash.
In addition, the LCD display tilts up or down for low or high-angle shooting situations, such as capturing a child's first steps or shooting over a crowd. In addition, the lightweight body and revised grip make the camera more comfortable to hold and carry. In addition, the ? features an integrated hot shoe, which lets you expand your lighting options with a range of accessory flashes (sold separately). Just turn the Mode Dial to select from Portrait, Landscape, Macro, Sports, Sunset, and Night View modes.
The Help Guide offers clear, concise explanations of various modes and settings, while the Graphic Display helps you understand the relationship between aperture and shutter speed, as well as the effect each has on photographic results. Choose from 8 finishing styles, including Standard, Vivid, Potrait, Landscape, Night View, Sunset, B&W, and Adobe RGB, and fine tune them to your personal taste with the ability to adjust contrast, saturation, and sharpness settings. This newly developed lens employs a Smooth Autofocus Motor (SAM) to deliver smooth and silent autofocus operation, and offers a flexible focal range that allows you to capture everything from wide angle to midrange telephoto shots with ease.
In addition, BRAVIA Sync works with compatible Sony BRAVIA HDTVs to let you control camera playback using the television's remote (HDMI cable and BRAVIA Sync capable HDTV required, sold separately).
Normal DRO improves detail using standard gamma curves for fast shot-to-shot response time, while Advanced DRO adjusts dynamic range area-by-area for greater accuracy. Like its full-frame sibling, the ?850 fully exploits the creative possibilities of the ? family of lenses that includes premium full-frame optics from Carl Zeiss, plus five high-performance G Lens models. Noise reduction is first applied as the full-frame sensor converts light to electronic signals. The 9-point AF system is supplemented by 10 focus assist points to assist subject detection, improved out-of-focus detection to reduce focus hunting and a dedicated F2.8 sensor for enhanced AF accuracy with wide aperture lenses.
This Preview is invaluable when composing complex scenes that may typically combine multiple light sources with different colour temperatures.
A secondary backlit LCD panel on the top of the camera body gives useful confirmation of major settings, even when the main LCD is turned off. This in-body optical stabilisation system delivers up to 4 steps of anti-shake correction with all compatible lenses, opening up even greater creative possibilities when shooting handheld. Viewfinder, card slots, controls and other sensitive areas are protected from dust and moisture by rubber seals.
Battery levels can be monitored in precise 1% increments, cutting uncertainty about remaining shooting time. On-screen image quality is optimised for superbly lifelike reproduction on BRAVIA™ models supporting PhotoTV HD. This compact, easy-to-carry lens is ideal for photo enthusiasts looking to add a bright, general purpose zoom to their collection of full-frame optics. Featuring everything from gadgets and electronics to communications and internet developments, scientific and environmental breakthroughs to advancements in design, lifestyle, transportation and renewable energies.
Also, for the money, it edges out Nikon's D5000 on a few points, namely superior video handling and Live View. Also, given Sony produce some of the electrical witchcraft that's housed within both Nikon & Canon (processors and the like) I'm very surprised. The A330 makes shooting with a DSLR easy and fun with its compact and lightweight design, intuitive controls and Quick AF Live View. Plus, the high-speed BIONZ image processing engine delivers enhanced color reproduction, rich tonal graduation and remarkable clarity. Dual BIONZ™ image engines process large amounts of digital data, applying finely-tuned noise reduction during image processing to deliver pictures with extremely high level of sharpness and minimal noise level. In addition, an anti-dust system guards the full-frame sensor from the effects of dust entering the body during lens exchange. On-screen playback can be controlled via an optional wireless remote commander (RMT-DSLR1). This combination of high native sensor resolution and powerful noise control techniques ensures superlative image quality, even at high sensitivity settings up to a maximum ISO 6400 (with expanded ISO range). Ideal for day-to-day shooting tasks, its bright maximum aperture makes the 28-75mm F2.8 SAM particularly valuable for interior scenes and available-light portraits.

Discussion in 'privacy technology' started by Tassie_Devils, Jan 5, 2003.
Well it's back to MailWasher again. decided on new thread, other getting old and long.
OK. I have finally figured out a setting [never even thought of this but had a good rat around and found this] for you to stop it from marking "Bounce"
If you look at the original posts, we were looking everywhere for an answer in "Options".
Damn, another solution just when you thought it was a dead and buried issue.
[Normally you would see your email address and the SMTP account in field. I whited them out in case you were wondering why they were blank].
e-mail address and SMTP sedrver boxes are not there.
Tools/Accounts/[highlight an account]/Properties/Bouncing and Outgoing Mail TAB . Uncheck that box.
Sorry for the late response time; I just saw this post. If I'm not mistaken, I mentioned this at some point in the original thread; I had unchecked that box. And I still kept seeing the bounce option checked, on some, but not all, of Mail Washer's 'suggested recommendations'. Eventually, I figured out that the settings in the individual filters must be taking precedence over the general settings. And sure enough, after going into each and every single filter, I was finally able to remove the 'bounce' option from all of them. (See attached photo.) But thanks for trying to figure it out. Hopefully now the picture will be clearer for those who would like to use the program but not the bounce feature.

From our drafting board to your home, read about the passion that puts Lifestyle Rezolutions above the rest.
"I may not always be with you, but when we're far apart, remember you will be with me, right inside my heart."
As kids, teens, adults, grandparents, and everywhere in between, family truly matters. Lifestyle Rezolutions creates solutions to help families connect back to the basics and lead simpler, stress-free lives together!
Family means everything. Giving love, support, smiles and more, we believe family is at the heart of healthy lifestyles.

Our programs encourage habits & behaviors that are time-tested and proven to boost well-being. Maintaining an organized home, a healthy body, personal goals, and so forth; these are the pillars of a proper lifestyle, not commercial diets or the next big trend, and you'll see that difference in our specially designed products.
The fruit of our effort is in seeing new happy & healthy lifestyles flourish, and with so many different programs to offer, we're overjoyed to help as many wonderful individuals and families as we do!
A 2010 Kaiser Foundation study showed that on average children will interact with entertainment technology for 7.5 hours daily. When you add sleep and school on top of that, there's not much time left in a day! What does this mean for their childhood development and quality family time together?
It's time to take back the home and remember family values! Our solutions motivate all ages to get up and be productive. Why do chores? Because they have to be done, and everyone will have fun doing them together! We want to help families create a positive environment where you can communicate without clashing, learn lifeskills and make lasting memories.

Much like an athlete, your brain requires mental exercise to stay in shape and perform like a winner! Not everything in our easy-thinking world counts as exercise either; a healthy brain needs a present challenge or activity, and a reason WHY helps too.
Developing tools to get your mind active requires Lifestyle Rezolutions' special attention to key memory & cognition factors, integrated into our programs through associated imagery, clear instruction, and interactive experiences using real world objects instead of screens lacking real-world attachment.
Which are you more likely to forget: a phone number, or your keys?
Yes, your cell phone will hold onto the phone number for you - but what happens if you lose your phone? What happens if it was an emergency number, or you get lost and need to be picked up?
Consider how your reliance on technology can be dangerous; start using your own memory for your own mental health & well-being!
What Do Our Brains Manage For Us?
Our brains are responsible for so much! It's obvious we need to take special care of them. But in a modern world of touch screens and flashing lights, it's difficult for our brains to tell what's going on all the time.
In related challenges that hit close to home with us, we have learned the importance of bringing a natural experience back into the home and wish to help families preserve precious memories through good health and proper know-how.
Want to know why we recommend these activities and find out more? Read our article on Memory Care Tips here.
* Consult a doctor before beginning any exercise program!
We design solutions that bring LIFE into focus. Families can interact with our real-world products to live more organized, healthy, and successful lives with less stress from technology.
Your brain can only hold so much information at once. Try to shove more in and much like pouring water into a full glass, room has to be made. You may think it's simple forgetfulness, a so-called 'senior moment,' or stress, but experts call this Information Overload (IO) - and it severely affects comprehension, brain function, and well-being for all ages.
Information Overload occurs far more frequently than most people realize. Social isolation, physical inactivity, poor eating habits and more can all stem from an individual suffering an overexposed, overloaded lifestyle - and they might not even know it. That's why it's important we spent time away from technology, to enjoy the outdoors, family, and your own independence. It's time we put down our devices and give each other and oruselves the respect we deserve! Strike up conversation, make eye contact, and spend time in real life, you'll be happy you did!
Lifestyle Rezolutions is proud to stand for happy, healthy living. We develop simple & effective programs that don't cause overload and ensure every step is easy, fun and fruitful.
Business and media control much more of our headspace than we realize. Our modern world is filled with things trying to appeal to our instincts: sugary pre-packaged food, sales adverts fill the streets, and a THOUSAND commercials play for gadgets, weight loss, cars, vacations, and much more.
Now that our kids have access everything in their pockets, and nobody to tell them better, shouldn't we know when to unplug? How much is too much?
Lifestyle Rezolutions programs are more than just kits. Containing key factors to lifestyle success, our team has assembled complete strategies to EMPOWER you to achieve!

Actually, the space of the layout has earned 4 stars. The condition was neat and we had a nice golf day.
Golfing has something for me but always something to do with peace. The ongoing noise of the neighboring highway is not at all.
The staff in the restaurant and office were very friendly and helpful.

author: COLOMBO TELEGRAPH
Speaker Appoints Separate Officers Under The RTI Act As Court Lists Mp's Assets Order Of RTI Commission For Hearing
Journalists are planning to file a Right to Information (RTI) request to the Sri Lanka Parliament asking for details of the Parliament's conformity to the country's Right to Information (RTI) Act after the Office of the Speaker issued a circular on 10th January 2022 announcing the appointment of an Information Officer (IO) and a Designated Officer (DO).
The appointments, made separately from the Speaker's Office, follows the Court of Appeal listing an appeal filed by Parliament against an Order of the Right to Information Commission (RTIC) for hearing. The Bench of the Court, due to hear the appeal this Tuesday (11th February), had transferred the case to the President of the Court of Appeal, relisting the appeal for later in the month.
The RTI Commission Order by Commissioners M Gammampila, Kishali Pinto-Jayawardena, Rohini Walgama and SG Punchihewa on 2nd February 2021 had reprimanded Parliament for failing to put proper administrative arrangements in place for citizens to get information. The Commission delivered the Order after journalist Chamara Sampath had appealed to the Commission to release the list of Members of Parliament who have filed Declarations of Assets and Liabilities from 2010-2018. This was after the Secretary General refused to issue the information saying that the information was with the Speaker's Office. However, the journalist had said that he was unable to get that information from the Speaker's Office, as the Speaker did not have a separate information officer.
Commenting on the Parliament's sending of the information requestor from one office to another to get information that should be readily available, the Commission had directed the office of the Secretary General of Parliament to release the information, saying that this was a 'list' of MPs who had filed their Assets Declarations that was administratively compiled and within the 'institutional' possession of Parliament. The Commission said that citizens must have unrestricted public access to that information as this related to the transparency of elected representatives.
The appointment of separate RTI officers by the Speaker comes 1 year after the Commission Order and 5 years after the RTI Act was implemented. However, journalists using the RTI Act have pointed to a problem with two DOs functioning in parallel under the RTI Act. Section 23 (1)(a) of the RTI Act says that a Public Authority may appoint several IOs but that only one DO can be named. Chief of Staff & Deputy Secretary-General of Parliament Mrs K. A. Rohanadeera has been functioning as the DO of Parliament and Assistant Secretary-General (Legislative Services) Mr. Tikiri K. Jayathilake has been the named IO of Parliament since the RTI Act was implemented in February 2017. Both officers are from the administrative branch of the Sri Lanka Parliament.
The officers separately appointed by the Speaker this week are Miss. G. Thatchanarany, Director (Administration) as DO and Mrs. E.D.S.M. Fernando, Deputy Director (Administration) as IO. The postings were publicly announced by the updating of the weblink relating to the Speaker's office (@https://www.parliament.lk/en/secretariat/right-to-information/rti-speaker-office) this week. Both officers are also from the Parliament's administrative branch.
Sri Lanka's Governments have historically refused to publicly release details of the declarations of assets and liabilities of politicians, declaring them to be private information. A 1970's law allows Sri Lankans to get copies of the documents but bars public release on pain of a hefty jail sentence. Sri Lanka is the only country in South Asia which has this law. India, Pakistan and Bangladesh routinely publish the details of assets declarations of their politicians including the Head of State. In 2019, former President of Sri Lanka Maithripala Sirisena also appealed to the Court of Appeal against a RTI Commission order directing to release details of the assets declaration of former Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe.
That appeal is also pending in the Court of Appeal.

They are all in it – EVERYONE of them from 2010 – 2021. That is why they block it.
And to imagine these same rascals will frame a Constitution for us, the People, is a total fantasy. It should be through a Constitutional Council duly constituted of more civil society members. And then put to a referendum, bypassing the den of crooks who might twist them in the Committee Stage.
Fahim Knight / January 15, 2022
What is required is, to allow a larger Salary to all The MPs, like in Singapore, and allow them to own a reasonable asset and also allow a family member to run a business like in Kuwait, establish one common tender board with reputed members elected and make all tenders open publically, so no matter who submits the tender.
In 1984/85 there was a tender for Catering services, where a Private Company's tender was lower compared to a company owned by a very powerful individual from the ruling family, the Company objected and raised many reasons to disqualify the local private Company, ultimately the tender was awarded to the local Company. It was possible because the Tender board was independent, even though the state was ruled by Monarchy.
The government officials and Policemen need a higher salary, not a pension,1st they need to live today, and if they are well paid, they can make decent investments and reap a better income when they retire, rather than get a pension which may not cover expenses at that time.
How can we expect good services from underpaid officials,? It's common sense.

This Speaker has violated the constitution several times. He does not act as the Speaker of the Parliament, who should be independent, but as the Speaker for SLPP. He has no respect for the historic Parliament practices followed in Sri Lanka and in the UK. He has no control over the behavior of the MPs especially Pohottuwa MPs when they conduct parliamentary business. It's time this Constitution Violating Speaker is kicked out.


Going on a cruise is one of the easiest way to travel with a kid. There is no long flights where you may have to manage your restless child and no packing and unpacking as you change hotels every few days. With a cruise, it all comes down to what family-friendly activities you can do with your child during the holiday.
We checked out the Royal Caribbean Mariner of the Seas recently for a 4D3N cruise to Port Klang and I have to say that our short holiday with Royal Caribbean was packed with exciting family-friendly activities that delight not just our child but also the adults too!
After our Royal Caribbean Mariner of the Seas cruise ship sets sail at 4.30pm, we made our way to "chope" the best place along the Royal Promenade to catch the DreamWorks Move It, Move It Parade. The Royal Promenade is a long line of shops so park yourself in front of any of the shops and you should be able to catch a good view of the Parade. If you want to chope a seat, you should go earlier to reserve a space at Cafe Promenade, get some coffee/tea and snacks (complimentary) and wait. At the Dreamworks Move It, Move It, Parade, you get to see your favorite DreamWorks characters (mostly those in the Madagascar and Shrek movies) dance along the parade route.
After the Parade, take a stroll along the Royal Promenade and check out the various luxury bags and watches on display. You may want to save your shopping for the various scheduled sales periods during the cruise. During our next few days of cruising, there are always pop-out sales event e.g. there was a Swarovski and Sunglasses Sale at 5.30pm almost immediately after the Dreamworks Move It, Move It, Parade at 5pm on Day 1.
After a busy afternoon of boarding, assembly drill, DreamWorks Parade and shopping along Royal Promenade, it would be almost time for dinner. If you prefer sit down dinners with food served to you, do ensure that you make reservations for My Time Dining with the maitre d' after you have boarded the ship earlier that afternoon. There are 2 seating at the Dining Room at Deck 5 with the first starting at 5.30pm and the second seating starting at 8pm. If you missed either, you can always check out the buffet dining at Windjammer Cafe on Deck 11.
For us, we chose to have our dinner at the Dining Room where we were served by our very attentive waiter. While there is a kids menu available, he recommended for our son to eat from the adult menu instead as most of the food served in the kids menu are fried e.g. pizza, french fries, fried noodles. We ordered the chicken breast for our kid and the waiter even made an effort to cut it into small pieces so it will be easier for him to eat! That is indeed very impressive service!
Our son's favorite was the bowl of fresh cut fruits served before every meal. This is not in every adult menu. You will have to ask the waiter if they have such fresh cut fruits available.
If you choose to eat the Dining Room for dinner every evening, you will be served by the same waiters who will remember your dietary preferences and make recommendations and adjustments accordingly. Our son was so happy with our waiter as you can see in the picture below (taken on the last dinner during our cruise with Royal Caribbean Mariner of the Seas).
This consistency in service and yummy food served at the Dining Room at Royal Caribbean Mariner of the Seas helps to keep anxious children at ease especially with the change in dining environment (from home).
After dinner, it will be almost time to catch the key highlight of the Royal Caribbean Mariner of the Seas performances – Ice Under the Big Top. The "Ice under the Big Top" performance is not to be missed when you are cruising with Mariner of the Seas – the hour long show features death defying ice skating acts as well as comedic clown skating performances.
Doors open at 8.15pm and the showtime is at 8.45pm. However, you do have to queue early to get your preferred spot at Studio B ice skating rink. The 8.45pm showtime is catered for first seating Dining Room guests. If you are dining in the second seating (i.e. 8pm), you can catch the Ice Under the Big Top on Day 3 of the cruise at 1pm and 3pm.
And that pretty much concludes Day 1 of the cruise. As you can see, there are lots to do during just Day 1 of the cruise.
On Day 2, the Mariner of the Seas arrived at Port Klang, Malaysia at 8am. We signed up for a Shore Excursion with Royal Caribbean which took us to Port Klang's Egyptian-themed shopping mall Sunway Pyramid mall. For US$35.75 (adult) and US$25.75 (child), the tour bus took us to Sunway Pyramid mall and dropped us there for us to explore the mall for 7 hours before picking us up and bringing us back to the ship.
The Sunway Pyramid mall is huge with over 800 stores divided into 5 districts where you can find high fashion, shoes, jewelry and toys. There are lots of restaurants to choose from too. If you don't intend to shop, you can check out Sunway Lagoon just beside the mall which features a water park, thrilling rides, wildlife area – amusement park entrance fees and your meals are not included with the price.
If you intend to check out the cruise facilities instead of going to Port Klang, there is lots to do especially for the little ones.
There are 3 sessions daily: Morning Session (9am to 12noon); Afternoon Session (2pm to 5pm) and Evening Session (7pm to 10pm) and they engage the kids in age-appropriate activities e.g. coloring for the younger ones and ball games for the older ones.
To join the Aquanauts, your kid will need to be diaper-free and fully toilet-trained and 3 years as at the day of the cruise.
Our kid was not 3 years old yet – nonetheless, we checked out the Challenger's Arcade where there are lots of arcade games to play or pretend to play (since at this age, all they want to do is turn the steering wheel and not actually play the game :-)).
Our son spent a lot of time "driving"! This is his favorite part of the cruise!
There are lots of meet and greet opportunities during Day 2 with DreamWorks characters e.g. Princess Fiona from Shrek, Alex and Gloria from Madagascar. Check out your Cruise Compass for the scheduled meet and greet timings.
You don't have to bring your own floats. There are float jackets available for all ages – so pick one and enjoy swimming in one of the many swimming pools onboard Mariner of the Seas!
We started out day out at sea with a DreamWorks Family Breakfast. This is a paid activity and reservations are required. You will need to pay US$10 per person for this DreamWorks Family Breakfast experience where you get to enjoy breakfast and do meet and greet with DreamWorks characters.
Do note unlike the Chops Grille and Giovanni's Table where you top up for steak, fine Italian dining and lobsters, the food served during the DreamWorks Family Breakfast is the same as what you will eat at Windjammer Cafe or at one of the Dining Room.
What you are paying for is the exclusive meet and greet opportunities with the DreamWorks characters! And they will perform short dances and songs for you while you dine too!
If you are a trivia fan like me, then check out the scheduled Quiz and Trivia held at the Schooner Bar. While I am seriously answering the trivia questions, my team mate i.e my son is drawing his stuff and playing around the bar (not exactly a very helpful team mate!).
Don't miss the mini-golf too. There are lots of holes to play. No reservations required. Just drop by, grab a golf stick and golf balls and hit them around the golf course!
If you have a very younger baby, then this room just beside the Challenger Arcade will be perfect as it is filled with baby toys for your baby/toddler to play with. This is free and no reservations required.
We rounded off our cruise with Formal dining at the Dining Room!
And we return to our cabin to find a towel peacock which got destroyed in seconds by our boy 🙂 Every night as your stateroom attendants turn down your room, you can expect to find towel animals! There are workshops that teach you how to fold these towel animals too – look out for them in your Cruise Compass.
And that concludes our short cruise with Royal Caribbean Mariner of the Seas. There are so much to do during the cruise and we will definitely plan for another cruise holiday soon!

I recently saw the movie, Into the Wild, and was inspired to think "outside the gym." So, Friday we took our dog hiking (into the wild – well, kind of wild). It was gorgeous, relaxing, exhilarating and best of all…fun. It's important to find physical activities you really enjoy because it's the easiest way to get more exercise into your life. Other ways I get more physical activity…hula-hooping (I'm lousy, but it's fun), dancing (lousy here, again, but I love it! I think I heard the words, "Girrrl, you ain't got NO coordination!" – haha, oh well), and playing golf and tennis (all of these qualify as great physical activities). Oh yeah, and when I go to the store, I park way out in BFE so I get more walking into my life.
Saturday, I went to the gym and lifted weights (chest/tri – heavy weight and low reps). I want to build more muscle to burn more fat all day long. Sometimes weight lifting is fun and sometimes it's just "okay," so I rely on great music to keep me motivated. Same story for the gym cardio. I do have days when I'm not thrilled to be on the treadmill, but when I have a great magazine (my favorite is VegNews!) or a super book to read, then I truly look forward to my time with the treadmill or stairstepper. It's about being smart and making it work for you.
Food for Friday and Saturday are the same (I don't mind eating the same delicious food a few days in a row).
Zen Mind – Experience all things with the enthusiasm of a child, as if you were seeing it for the first time. This is the Zen Mind. Always new, always aware, always that of a beginner.


We made some fun treats and this was a total cheat but the kids are not going to care one bit. I used a whoopie pie mix and green sprinkles instead of the ones they provided in the box. Then we dumped some skittles into the jar. As I was doing other things I said to my hubby I really had envisioned the skittles in a rainbow layer and the next thing I knew the skittles were dumped out onto the table and being sorted by color...thank you honey!!!
The Leprechauns left us breakfast..using a plate left over from last year we wrote the children a little note and provided Lucky Charms, shamrock straws, napkins, and int he fridge liquid gold(we found the cutest little individual apple juices that came in clear bottles).
I wanted to share a little hint when you by a package of plates or napkins for a holiday pull out only what you need for your family and save the rest..you can use the rest to put in their lunches or even save for next year and this does cut down the cost!!!
Even though my kiddos are older they still love to dig through a sensory bin. Plus I made flashcards for them individually to practice math skills. Then they would count out the answer into the bucket. As an example the card would say 2X6=______ gold coins or 3+1=_____green pompoms. We also have a bunch of coloring pages and craft projects lined up to do.
That is awesome! :) So cute!

If you want more Rumiko Takahashi goodness, take a look at Inuyasha. Being a little bit more serious, this series has a developing story and features the same excellent seiyuu work you know from Ranma 1/2.
VRDave says
Although the animation and the humor are a little more modern, the first thing I thought when I saw the first episode of Inuyasha was "RANMA!". So, if nothing else, it will remind you of Ranma at first, but InuYasha is a VERY good epic story.

more from rumiko takahashi, with the same compelling and akward romance, does however get a bit long (just find naraku already!)

Humans become animals and really funny stuff happens; and of course, there is some background romance. No, I'm actually talking about Fruits Basket, not Ranma--but the elements are all the same. If you liked one of these anime, definitely check out the other.
catzgirl says
Both series feature humorous love triangles with humans changing into animals and other things. In Ranma's case, with a splash of cold water, you have a boy that can change into a girl, a girl that changes into a cat, and another boy that changes into a cute black pig. There are many other characters that change as well, but you would have to watch the series to find out ;) Both Ranma and Fruits Basket have extensive love triangles and plenty of situational comedy. Ranma is a tad more mature with the gratuitous female nudity and also a good deal of martial art fighting storylines, while Fruit Baskets is more relationship driven. Neither have a lack of humor, that's for sure.
Freewind says
Fruits Basket and Ranma 1/2 are both anime with characters who change into animals. Also, Tohru Honda and Ranma have histories that allow them to intermingle with the world around them.
Tenma Tsukamoto is young, bright, and smitten with the school hottie Oji Karasuma. She's desperate for his attention, which is unfortunate considering he barely gives her the time of day! Throw Kenji Harima, the school delinquent with a crush on Tenma into the mix and you've got one twisted love triangle of unrequited proportions! Can love find the trio...
helixcs says
School Rumble and Ranma 1/2 both have money-back-guarantees to keep you intoxicated with humor and screaming with splits of laughter, even though Ranma 1/2 is more fictional.
Eidola says
If you liked Ranma 1/2 then you'll enjoy this one as well because they both revolve around the silly/light-hearted romance theme and they both make you laugh. Both are romantic comedies and have very endearing characters.
kio3459 says
got the same feeling when i started watching School Rumble.. Both animes have hilarious stories and characters... I like School Rumble more but if you like Ranma you should checkout School Rumble. A must watch if you're looking a comedy anime.

Russian President Vladimir Putin listens to Novosibirsk Region Governor Andrey Travnikov during their talks via videoconference at the Novo-Ogaryovo state residence, outside Moscow, Russia, Monday, Jan. 16, 2023. (AP)
Kremlin declines to say if President Vladimir Putin will seek re-election in 2024

The Kremlin declined on Monday to say whether President Vladimir Putin would seek re-election in 2024 when his current term ends, saying that no announcements had been made on the matter.
Speculation has been growing in Russian media about Putin's plans for 2024, when a new election is due under Russia's constitutional rules.
"The president has not made any statements on the matter," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said when asked whether Putin planned to run for a new term.
Rights organizations, independent observers and Western governments say Russian elections are not free or fair, with Putin having quashed, exiled or imprisoned all major domestic opponents over his more than two decades in power.
There have also been widespread allegations of ballot stuffing which have been dismissed by the Kremlin.

When deciding Michigan child custody arrangements, courts look seriously at any parental request to move children more than 100 "road traveled" miles away from the other parent. Change of Domicile petitions can be some of the toughest legal battles during or after divorce. Courts use the reasoning that unless there are negative parenting factors, the children are best off with regular and consistent contact with both parents. It's argued that driving more than 100 miles for visitation would cut off the other parent's ability to participate in the children's lives.
Statistics show that even inconsistent co-parenting is better for the kids than single-parenting. Obviously, this does not include exposing the kids to alcohol, drugs, or violence. Barring these damaging impacts though, the court's first priority is keeping both parents involved if they want to be. That's why the 100-Mile Rule is so strict. The 100-Mile Rule Law also applies to moves outside of the state or country because of the difficulty of enforcing Michigan's custody laws in other jurisdictions.
To what degree would the move have the capacity to improve the life of the children and relocating parent?
Has the non-moving parent utilized the allotted visitation time in the past?
Is the relocation an intentional effort by the custodial parent to frustrate the other parent's ability to see his or her children?
Are there modifications to parenting time orders that could offset the commuting inconvenience and preserve the parental relationship if the move were allowed?
Kathryn Wayne-Spindler & Associate's experienced Washtenaw County attorneys are talented at designing parenting plans – including crafting Change of Domicile Petitions – that satisfy the children's best interests, the court's requirements and both parents' needs. We help clients seeking to move outside of the 100-Mile limit for a better job or lifestyle as well as those clients fighting to keep their kids nearby. That's where our blend of compassionate consideration for all parties and aggressive experience in fighting for our clients' needs has proven successful.

Discussion in 'Photoshop' started by thevet, Feb 13, 2008.
Hi guys. I was just wondering if there is an easy way to tell if a supplied print ready pdf is in either CMYK or RGB. Is there an add on you can get or a pdf reader that will display this.
i think all pdf file is RGB, correct me if i'm wrong.
I have been looking for a way to do this in PHP as part of my form validation script. I understand from some things I have read that I'd have to pull objects out of the PDF and test them individually, but I haven't figured out how to access the objects.
you can certainly embed RGB objects in an otherwise CMYK document.
I'm NOT an expert on PDF file structure, but from what I understand it's a Document Type, like lets say.....HTML. It doesn't have a switch saying either CMYK or RGB, any images or files you insert into it can EACH have their own colour profiles and colour modes, and when you save a PDF, you can force a conversion if you want.
Remember, PDF is also larger than just CMYK or RGB, you can also do hexachrome, or any custom inks you wish, CMYK+spot colours. I don't know, short of actually running the file (as suggested before) you can determine what it contains.
I think an important question for us to help answer you is: Why does it matter whether a PDF is RGB or CMYK for what you're trying to do?
Sorry if I am hijacking a thread, but I think it was abandoned anyway.
We want to allow orders for print work to be accepted by an online shopping cart. The print house requires all artwork to be submitted in CMYK. Right now, I have set it to only allow JPG and PSD files to be uploaded because I can check their color modes as part of my server-side form validation. Some people might want to upload a PDF, and I'd like to allow it if I could check the color modes of the objects inside it.
how do you make sure the JPG's you get are CMYK? In fact, is there such a thing as a real CMYK JPG? isn't that totally contrary to the entire purpose of the specification to begin with?
I would accept the PDF's, and you might have to preflight them yourself, but then if there are errors, either fix it, or send it back to them. I'd just put a warning on it sayingsomething like: any files NOT CMYK when recieved will be converted by us and we're no liable for any colour matching isues that may result. Any files as CYMK will remain untouched and sent to print.
It's a tricky issue, but I think it's harder to try to prevent the issue with code than to just deal with it using human power.
Yes, there is such a thing as a real CMYK JPG. Adobe PS makes them, and I am sure there are loads of other programs that do too. Here's my "is_cmyk" function.
$extension=$value; //if there is more than one period, this will find the actual extension.
there is such thing as a CMYK jpeg, but there can't be according to the JPEG scpeficiations - it's a hack, and although a common hack, not a widely supported hack.
files like TIFF actually can be CMYK legitimately, and for print you want the best quality possible.....why you'd save an image in CMYK for print, but in low quality like JPEG is beyond me - it makes no sense!
If our artist makes the artwork, we submit it in PSD, but we accept 300dpi jpgs as well. At that resolution, there generally isn't any visable loss on the print work.
I'm no expert on the specifications of JPEG, but I know it works.
Back to my question though. Does anyone know how, in php, to get details about images imbedded in a pdf?
If you are preparing documents solely for the web, then for the same number of image samples RGB is negligibly faster with possibly smaller file size. If you are preparing documents for print, then CMYK is better since it preserves spot colors, and separating RGB may be unsatisfying or not possible. If you are preparing documents for both web and print CMYK is the better choice.
There are cases though where you can't always choose CMYK. Many PDF documents originally created using Microsoft or other PC applications will arrive in your shop as RGB. But there is no practical way to tell the unless you import into latest photoshop version and see the image for yourself or send it to printer.
