Qin Jia Yuan Expands TV Advertising Business Through Acquisition of a Leading Ad Agency in China
Mar 13, 2011, 10:54 ET
HONG KONG, March 13, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Qin Jia Yuan Media Services Company Limited (Stock code: 2366, hereafter referred to as "QJY" or "the Group") has announced that it has entered into an agreement for the acquisition of a 55% controlling stake of Clear Light Group Limited (hereafter referred to as "Clear Light Group"), a leading TV advertising agency in China, through a wholly owned subsidiary. Upon completion of the acquisition, the Group will significantly expand its TV advertising business into different parts of China, especially Southern China, and further strengthen its unique cross-business media platform.
According to the agreement, the total consideration of HK$45,000,000 consists of a cash consideration of HK$22,500,000 and HK$9,000,000 payable by way of issue and allotment of 5,890,438 new shares ("Consideration Shares"), representing approximately 0.70% of the existing issued share capital and the enlarged issued share capital. The Consideration Share was issued at a price around HK$1.5279, representing a premium of approximately 10.0% above the average closing share price of QJY in the 10 trading days up to and including 10th March 2011. The balance of the consideration in the sum of HK$13,500,000 payable in cash, to be financed by internal resources is to be settled within 13 months from the date of completion.
Clear Light Group is a leading TV advertising agency in China, primarily engaged in the sales and brokering of advertising for provincial and local television stations in Southern China. With the acquisition of the Clear Light Group, it is expected that the net sales of QJY's TV advertising business unit will increase significantly. Combined with QJY's existing exclusive TV station underwriting arrangements in Central China, QJY now provides broad geographic coverage to its advertising clients for TV advertising.
TV advertising is still the dominant medium for advertising in China, capturing more than 70% share of the entire advertising market with a strong annual growth rate of 15%. Growing sentiment amongst consumers in emerging markets is also a key driver for sustainable growth in TV advertising revenue. It is forecasted by Deloitte Global Services Ltd. that TV advertising spending will grow by 16% in China in 2011.
The acquisition is one of several strategic steps undertaken by QJY to expand its cross-media platform. Together with QJY's strengths in TV drama production and out-of-home LED advertising, QJY brings to its media and advertising partners a broad and unique set of media assets. QJY's recent awards of marketing and advertising contracts with Henderson Land and 3D Gold are evidence of the potential and uniqueness of QJY's cross-media advertising capabilities.
Dr. LEUNG Anita Fung Yee Maria, Chief Executive Officer of the Group, said, "The acquisition opens the door for the Group's strategic expansion into the lucrative advertising market in southern China. The Group would benefit from the cross-selling opportunities between the clients of QJY and Clear Light Group and further enhanced its uniquely positioned cross-media business platform. Through our expert management team of media professionals with decades of experience in China, QJY strives to expand its client base, increase sales and develop into one of the strongest cross-media players in the country."

For 18 years, Fran Fearnley of ZimArt's Rice Lake Gallery has travelled across Zimbabwe to purchase stone sculptures from local artists. Inspired by outdoor studio displays of Zimbabwean sculpture, she opened her generous rural property in 2000 for its first annual outdoor exhibition of hand-carved Zimbabwean stone sculptures.
Stone sculpture from Zimbabwe is often called Shona sculpture, named after the largest tribe engaged in this indigenous art movement which relies on local stone which is ideal for carving. Each year raw stone is brought to the gallery to allow visitors and the artist-in-residence to create new sculptures with material that is native to Zimbabwe.
The gallery now represents over 50 Zimbabwean stone sculptors whose works are hand-picked by Fearnley. The items range from table top size to ones requiring mechanical help to install. The gallery's 18th exhibition runs from August 5th to September 3rd, and over 300 original hand-carved stone sculptures from Zimbabwe will be on display in a two-acre gallery.
Each year an artist from Zimbabwe travels to Canada for the summer season as the artist-in-residence, leading sculpting workshops and acting as a cultural ambassador. Artists are selected in part for their range of work but also for their ability to relate to gallery visitors as who are touring the gallery or following his direction in stone carving workshops. Rufaro Ngoma of Harare is this year's selection, and his works range from representational to semi-abstract forms designed to reflect his African culture. He calls Harare home, and thanks to Skype technology, communicates almost daily with his wife and three children, which helps him cope with the months away from home.
For a true African cultural experience, drop into the gallery on Saturday, August 5, between 3 and 6 pm for the gallery's Opening Party. Stroll the outdoor gallery taking in the sculptures, sample African food and enjoy live music provided by an African band. Admission is free. For more information on the gallery's month long exhibition, visit www.zimart.ca/rls.html. KG

Given their extraordinary speed and maneuverability as well as their small size, flying hummingbirds are challenging to photograph. A high shutter speed is needed to get a good shot with minimal motion blur. But you also need ample light to keep your ISO low enough to avoid too much noise in your shot.
But what if you want to photograph hummingbirds in low light as was my situation? Even though Allen's Hummingbirds are in my yard year-round, I couldn't get good shots of them because my backyard has many shade trees. I needed a method to freeze the motion of these speedsters in low light without creating a shot with too much noise.
So I turned to off camera flashes. With multiple flashes, the flash stops the motion not the shutter speed. Moreover, by using multiple flashes, the ISO could be kept in the range from 100 – 400 hundred which would keep the noise down.
Therefore, an outdoor hummingbird studio set up with multiple flashes was a perfect solution for my backyard hummingbird photography. And ample shade turned out to be a bonus because shade is a necessity in reducing the natural light when using multiple flashes.
I'm writing this blog to share what I've learned about creating a backyard hummingbird studio because I'm now hooked on high speed multiple flash photography for hummingbirds. In this blog I'll describe the equipment I use and explain how to shoot and process these flying jewels with high speed flash photography. My methods are not the only ones; I'm writing this as a starting point for you to get inspiration.
A Backyard Hummingbird Studio
A backyard hummingbird studio has the following elements:
Hummingbirds in a Shady Setting
The more you learn about your subject, the easier it is to anticipate its behavior and capture expressive images. And hummingbirds are truly fascinating as they have unique characteristics.
No bird can more precisely control the change in their directional movement in mid-air as precisely as a hummingbird. These tiny flying gems are the only true hoverers who can remain in place as long as they wish. Unlike other birds who "wind hover" by flying into the wind at a speed equal to the wind, hummingbirds use their strength to hover. When hovering, they move their wings in a shallow figure-eight pattern (with the "eight" lying on its side). 30% of a hummingbird's weight consists of flight muscles – the most powerful muscles per unit mass of any vertebrate.
By means of their mobile shoulder joints and flight muscles, they generate lift on both the backward and forward strokes giving them the unique ability to fly backwards and even upside down!
They are the smallest flying vertebrate. Allen's Hummingbirds, who frequent my backyard, are just 9 cm or 3.75 inches weighing 2 grams or 0.1 ounces. As a point of reference, a penny weighs 2.5 grams.
Hummingbirds beat their wings incredibly fast – from 20 to 80 beats per second. They fly an average of 25-30 miles per hour and dive up to 60 miles per hour.
To support the rapid beating of their wings, hummingbirds must expend a lot of energy. They have the highest metabolism in the animal kingdom. To meet their energy demands, they feed every 10 – 15 minutes eating small soft bugs for protein, lapping up nectar from flowers, or drinking sugar water from feeders.
Hummingbirds are very smart: a hummingbird's brain is 4.2% of its body weight, the largest proportion in the bird kingdom. They can remember every flower they have been to and how long it will take a flower to refill.
This need for continual nourishment makes them very protective of their food sources. They will perch high near flowers or feeders and pursue other hummingbirds. Male hummingbirds, especially Allen Hummingbirds which live in my backyard, are very aggressive and will chase off competitors from the yard. Even though hummingbirds will fight using their bills as weapons and will bump chests mid-air, they are rarely injured during fights.
Despite their needing to feed a lot, hummingbirds spend most of their life perching. They like to perch on very small branches or wires up high so they can observe other hummingbirds entering their territory. Their feet are very small and weak, so they never walk – they must fly from place to place.
Hummingbirds bathe several times a day. You can get wonderful shots of them in garden fountains or playing in the sprinklers.
If you don't already have hummingbirds in your yard, you will need to attract them. They are drawn to the color red and tubular types of flowers. Grow flowers that appeal to hummingbirds such as Chinese Lantern, Aloe Vera, Columbine, Bottlebrush, Fuchsia, Honeysuckle, Pride of Madeira, or Sage. Put up several feeders and filled with sugar water. The recipe is easy – one part sugar to four parts water.
Once you have a yard with hummingbirds, you then need to find a spot in the shade for your studio. When you fire multiple flashes, shade is needed to overpower the surrounding light so the flash, not the shutter speed, controls the motion. If you have too much ambient light, your shot may have wing ghosting which is multiple images of the same wing.
The more shade you have, the easier it is to block natural light. With very little ambient light, quick and simultaneous flashes can freeze the motion of the wings of the hummingbird in flight.
Your proximity or movement is another consideration for the location of your outdoor studio. Some hummingbirds are more skittish than others. Allen's Hummingbirds, the ones that frequent my backyard, do not like movement, so I needed a place where I could easily hide. My kitchen turned out to be the perfect place.
I could use my kitchen as a blind and shoot through the kitchen window onto the shaded patio. When I darkened my kitchen as much as I could, turned off all the lights and covered the windows, the Allen's Hummingbirds had more difficulty seeing me or my camera through the window. My window is low, so I could shoot seated behind the kitchen table, which obscures most of my body. To hide the movement of my hands, I could throw a cloth over the barrel of my lens.
Not only do hummingbirds dislike movement, they also do not like the clicking sound of the camera. I think it's because it sounds similar to the sound of another hummingbird. Shutting all the windows and doors other than the window I'm shooting through helped to muffle the sound of my camera.
A Camera, Lens, and Tripod
Most any 35 mm digital SLR camera will work for high speed flash photography. Just make sure to use a camera that is compatible with your wireless triggers. The camera I use is a Canon 1D Mark IV.
I shoot hummingbirds in my backyard for long periods of time with a heavy lens, so I find hand holding too tiring for my outdoor studio. Therefore, I use a tripod. Most any reasonable tripod will be suffice as long as its strong enough to hold the camera and lens. Vibration of the tripod legs shouldn't be a problem because of the short flash durations. I use a Gitzo Carbon Fiber Tripod which is very stable and versatile for the heavy lens I use.
Tripod Head
Because hummingbirds move so fast, you need to be able to track them quickly. Gimbal tripod heads allow rapid and smooth adjustments of the lens in any direction. Any gimbal-style tripod head should be fine. I use a Wimberley II Gimbal Head.
Many hummingbirds, especially juveniles, are accepting and tolerate of people photographing them from a close range. But I find that most hummingbirds are not as trusting. I use two lenses for hummingbird photography: the 400 mm 5.6 lens for handheld shots and the 500 mm 4.0 for tripods. Both give enough distance from the hummingbird not to frighten it by your proximity. And both of these lenses are prime lenses, which are sharper than zoom lenses.
Extension Tubes
I usually couple a 36mm Kenko Extension Tube with my lenses. Extension tubes enable the lens to focus closer than its normal set minimum focusing distance. By adding an extension tube, I can fill a significant part of the frame with the world's tiniest birds while also capturing its fine feather details.
Multiple flashes with a Way to Trigger Them
I already owned a Canon Speedlite 580EX II Flash and I chose to add 430EX II Speedlites. They are compatible with my camera and the Phottix Odin Flash Trigger. They have fast recycle time and are dependable. I am now using six flashes in all.
Light stands
Most any light stand will do. I use the Westcott 8-Feet Lightweight Stands – one for each flash unit. You can use fewer if you attach more than one flash to a light stand.
Spring Clamps
I put spring clamps on some of the light stands and use the clamp's built-in ballhead to position the flash exactly where I want it. I use the Manfrotto Justin Spring Clamp with Flash Shoe. Its ballhead allows directional placement of a flash in a multitude of configurations. It's also strong enough to easily support large, heavy flashes like the 580EX II and it's great for mounting multiple flashes on a single light stand.
Wireless Triggers and Receivers
I use the Phottix Odin wireless TTL flash trigger system that operates via radio frequency. I mount a Phottix Odin Flash Transmitter Control Unit on my camera and mount each flash on a Phottix Odin Receiver. The Phottix Odin wireless triggers and receivers are simple to use and work at a great distance without requiring line of sight.
Batteries and Chargers
AA batteries are required for the transmitter, receiver, and flashes. I use rechargeable batteries. You need six batteries for each flash/receiver unit and two for the transmitter. I put in fresh batteries when I recharge my old ones. If you have several 12 bay chargers, you can charge all of the batteries at once.
Artificial Background, Flowers, and Feeder
Artificial Background
One of the best ways to eliminate distracting elements in the background is to create an artificial background. It's easy to do. Just photograph some flowers out of focus, add a Gaussian blur in Photoshop, and then make some prints.
Because the largest paper I could fit in the printer was 13 x 19 inches that was the size I printed. The size of this background is small, which in turn necessitates precise positioning in the set up. A background 18 x 24 inches or larger would have been better so I would have had more wiggle room with the placement behind the hummingbird.
I only had glossy paper when I made my prints. Matte paper would have been better than glossy because it's not as reflective. When I use one of these glossy prints, I have to reposition my flashes on the background because sometimes I get glare which creates hot spots. Both the small size as well as the glossy paper makes it take more time for me to set up my background.
I use a music stand to hold my artificial background, so I don't need to add a backing. But if you clamp your background to a light stand, you will need to make it rigid by taping or gluing them to foam board or a thin piece of plywood.
There are many other options for making a background:
You might want to add more depth to your background by adding flowering plants in front of the artificial background. Position the plants at a distance from the feeder so that it will create a pleasing bokeh.
Flowers and hummingbirds are a beautiful combination. Add flowers to your hummingbird shots to create more interest. Hummingbirds prefer tubular types of flowers. If you don't have any tubular flowers in your garden, I find Alstroemeria from the supermarket are inexpensive, readily available, and large enough to hide a tube feeder.
I like to use Flower Pot One Tube Hummingbird Feeder because I can hide the tube with flowers. I attach the tube to a Wimberley PP-200 Plamp II which is clamped to a small table. I use a second Plamp to hold the flowers. The Plamp makes it possible to adjust the position or angle of the feeder tube as well as the flower. Flowers can also be taped to the tube.
Set-up Procedure and Processing
Insert charged batteries into the camera, transmitter, receivers, and flashes.
With the camera off, attach the Odin transmitter to the hot shoe of your camera and lock with the locking mechanism. Turn on the transmitter and then turn on the camera. Set the transmitter to TTL, Manual, 1/32 power, Channel 1
Turn off the flashes and the Phottix Odin receivers. Attach each receiver to the top of the flash stands or to the Justin Spring Clamps/flash stand combinations. Attach each flash to the shoe on top of each of the Odin receivers and lock with the locking mechanisms. Set each Odin receiver to channel 1 and assign each receiver to group A.
Turn on each receiver and then turn on each flash. Using the back of the flashes, set each flash to manual mode with 1/32 power.
Your Phottix Odin has a button to test if all of your flashes are firing.
Take down all other feeders in your yard other than the one you will be photographing.
I use a small table for my feeder and flowers. Attach the clamp end of a Plamp to the table and have the other end hold the wire of the Flower Pot One Tube Hummingbird Feeder. Using a second Plamp, attach the clamp end to the table and insert a flower in the other end. You could also hide the test tube feeder with a flower taped to it. Arrange the test tube feeder and flower so that the flower hides the test tube.
I have not yet perfected a method for hiding the test tube feeder with flowers and sometimes have to clone out a portion of the feeder in Photoshop.
Put the artificial background 3 – 6 feet behind the feeder. If you are using a small background, you can use one flash. A larger background will need two flashes for even lighting. If you are using one flash, position the flash about two feet away from the artificial background aimed at the middle. Or, if you are using two flashes, position them on either side of the background and aim each so each covers 2/3 of the background.
I sometimes use a stuffed hummingbird to pre-focus and check the placement of the flashes. The hummingbird I use was purchased Touch of Nature on Amazon. I use a Pamp to hold the it in place.
Four or more flashes will give good lighting and stop motion. Place one overhead and behind the bird. Place two more in front on the level of the target area for the bird and camera at approximately 45 degrees from each side at about 18 inches from the hummingbird. Have one flash in front of and lower than the feeder. Aim it toward at the gorget.
To adjust the amount of light coming from the flashes, move the light stands closer or further away from the target.
Use autofocus and set your lens' limit-range switch to the near-range setting so you can acquire focus quickly. Use back button focus and front button trigger; single shot, AI SERVO (continual tracking), and single center focusing.
Shoot manually. My preferred aperture is f/22, however you can shoot as wide as f/16.
Remember that the flash stops motion not the shutter speed, so I set my shutter speed at 1/160. You want to freeze the wings and a faster flash speed, like a faster shutter speed, will freeze motion better. Wing blur means that ambient light is present, the flash is not set fast enough, or that it is not synchronized. I set the flash speed at 1/32 to freeze wing motion.
To avoid noise, shoot as low as you can preferably below 400.
I usually set my ISO at 200. I use the ISO as well as the f/stop for exposure control. If the shot is still too bright, I move the flash further away or closer, if the shot is too dark.
Shoot in Camera Raw and make adjustments in Lightroom or Photoshop. Remove all but one of the multiple highlights in the eye by using the spot removal tool in Lightroom or the clone stamp or patch tool in Photoshop. Also remove any part of the feeder that is showing by using similar techniques.
I hope you found this blog useful for your hummingbird high speed photography. Like me, you may become hooked especially when you see the fine definition you get in your photographs.
I greatly appreciate all of the people who take the time to comment. Thank you!
All the best ~ Patricia

While October might be best associated with the color orange - hunting, pumpkins, leaves - it also has become a time to think pink.
Some of the region's restaurants have gone pink, donating a portion of proceeds to help the American Cancer Society beat breast cancer from October 6 through October 15. The Michigan State Police post on Iron Mountain's north side has a special vehicle out front with its shield logo in pink.
"Breast cancer awareness is an issue very near and dear to my heart", Michigan First Lady Sue Snyder said. Most breast cancers are found in women age 50 and up. Early detection means easier treatment.
Overall breast cancer death rates dropped 39 percent between 1989 and 2015, averting 322,600 breast cancer deaths during those 26 years.
A charity ambassador for Luton and Dunstable University Hospital is visiting Jules Fashion Accessories in Leighton Buzzard to promote breast cancer awareness next week.
More than 15,000 people will be at Washington Park to spread messages of hope and victory of cancer. A striking divergence in long-term breast cancer mortality trends between black and white women emerged in the early 1980s and continued to widen over the last several decades, but recent data suggest that the racial disparity may be stabilizing. Other risk factors include having a family history of breast cancer, a lack of physical activity and excess weight or obesity after menopause, among others. The test looks at 18 genetic variants on blood or saliva that are known to affect a woman's chances of getting breast cancer.
Women should begin discussing the topic of a yearly mammogram with their physician beginning at age 40.
- Avoid behaviors that can increase the risk: Quit smoking and control weight and alcohol consumption, as all have been linked to a higher incidence of breast cancer.

Washington companies that do business with Barclays may be dismayed to learn that on Dec. 22, the U.S. Department of Justice announced that it had filed a lawsuit against the British bank. The DOJ has claimed that the bank deceived investors by giving loans that were based on home appraisals that had been inflated and that the investors did not have the ability to repay.
Barclays is just one of several European banks that was under investigation for contributing to the 2008 global financial crisis. Other European banks facing similar lawsuits include Credit Suisse and Deutsche Bank. Several major U.S. banks, including JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America, have already settled with U.S. authorities. In Barclay's case, it was estimated that $31 billion worth of mortgage loans were pooled, and approximately half of the deals ended up defaulting.
A statement released on behalf of the British bank stated that the itwould defend against the claims and seek a dismissal against the suit. Regardless, the company's U.S. share price was down 1.7 percent after the announcement.
Fraud charges can be issued against companies as well as individuals, and the penalties that are assessed if the prosecution is able to obtain a conviction can be financially ruinous. As a result, the management of such an organization may want to meet with a criminal defense attorney who has experience with this type of white collar crime as soon as possible. An essential element of this crime that is necessary for conviction is the specific intent to defraud, and it might be difficult for a prosecutor to prove that it existed in a particular case.

Proteas star quits Test cricket
PROTEAS cricketer JP Duminy has called time on his Test career.
"I certainly know that my playing career is far from over and my hope is that with the backing of Cricket South Africa, Cape Cobras, teammates, family, friends and supporters, I will be given the opportunity to continue to give my very best to the sport that I love dearly," said Duminy.
"But after long and careful deliberation, I have decided to retire from first-class and Test match cricket with immediate effect. I have thoroughly enjoyed the privilege and opportunity to represent my country in 46 Tests and the Cape Cobras in 108 first-class matches over the last 16 years."
Duminy, 33, has been a senior member of the Proteas' Test squad. He made his debut in 2008 against Australia.
His maiden series Down Under set the stage for two of his career highlights, with the left- hander scoring an unbeaten half-century at the Waca before notching up 166 in the second Test at the MCG.
Duminy will continue to play one-day and T20 cricket for the Cobras and Proteas.
He will also lead the Cape Town Knight Riders in the inaugural Global T20 League this season.
His last Test was the series opener against England at Lord's earlier this year.

ALAPPUZHA: Two people who went in to dig out a bore well in Manancherry here died of chocking. The details of the two are not available as of now.
Three people went into dig out the bore well among whom Jith alone was saved.
The accident took place in the well in the compound of Ponnadan Lime Industries owned by one Hamid of Ambalakkadavu. The narrowness of the well caused the accident.
As soon as the pipe for the bore well was lowered, water and pungent smelling smoke gushed out of it, and in no time the well became almost half-filled with mud in which the labourers got trapped.
The dead bodies of the two people were retrieved from the well by the fire force.

Fluoride treatments can help supplement Florence, SC's naturally low levels of fluoride in the drinking water. Depending on the city and county, you may or may not be getting enough fluoride in your water alone—and it's crucial for growing teeth. As a child, both the "milk teeth" and newly formed adult teeth have the ability of "soaking up" fluoride which leads to stronger, healthier teeth as an adult. However, it's up to your city how much fluoride (if any) is added to tap water. In Florence, the fluoride levels are shockingly low compared to some other areas of South Carolina.
In-office fluoride treatments are an excellent addition to at-home fluoride rinses or toothpastes with fluoride. When it comes to fluoride everyone can benefit, but children really need it the most.
Why Fluoride Treatments?
It's a natural mineral that can be found in a number of foods and of course water. Day after day, minerals get added and lost from teeth enamel. Acid (found in healthy foods like berries) and excess sugar creates bacteria plaque in the mouth, which attacks enamel. However, fluoride can re-deposit those layers. If there's too much enamel lost, that can cause tooth decay and eventually the need for root canals and even tooth replacement.
Fluoride is the best way to stop tooth decay, help teeth fight back against acid attacks and can even reverse the early stages of decay. It's especially critical for children younger than six, since fluoride can become a real part of those developing teeth. At Bright Start Dental, fluoride is applied as a varnish, gel or foam depending on the patient and their needs. Varnishes are painted on, gels are applied via painting or a mouth guard, and foams are applied with mouth guards.
Florence, South Carolina Fluoride Treatments in High Demand
Young patients who benefit the most from fluoride treatments are between six months old and 16 years old—that's a big window to optimize those fluoride treatments. It's when primary teeth move in, but don't think that just because your teen is over 16 he or she won't benefit. It's always important to fight tooth decay and preserve enamel.
Adding a fluoride treatment to your annual dental checkup is a smart move. In Florence, you won't get much fluoride from the water, but your dentist can help bridge that gap.

ENVE has recently redesigned their popular seat post to incorporate a two-bolt pattern, in lieu of their single bolt design. These new posts feature a patented two-bolt wedge system that are compatible with standard and oversized rails and allow you to adjust the saddle angle with ease.
I've been using one since NAHBS and can say this revision has drastically improved the clamp strength compared to the previous design. Before, especially during cyclocross races or trail riding, if I hadn't torqued and carbon greased the ENVE post clamp enough, I'd get slippage and so far, so good with this new design.
Head over to ENVE for more information.

UK launches 'green grid computing' competition
Participants invited to solve environmental issues
The government-funded Grid Computing Now network has kicked of a competition which invites participants to help solve environmental issues through grid computing.
Grid computing involves the sharing of computer power and data storage over the internet.
Well known examples include the [email protected] project which utilises the idle power of PCs and PlayStation 3s to help with cancer research.
The 'Grid Computing for a Greener Planet' competition is supported by Microsoft, Intellect, the British Computer Society, 451 Group, Memset, the National e-Science Centre, Oxford e-Research Centre, WWF and The Technology Strategy Board.
Entrants are challenged to find any way that grid computing can be applied to an environmental issue that stands to benefit from a huge amount of raw processing power to calculate huge data sets.
"All too often IT is portrayed as an environmental villain, but through this competition participants have the chance to showcase examples of the great work being done within the sector to combat the environmental challenges we all face, " said Dennis Pamlin, global policy advisor for the WWF.
The competition is open to UK residents and has two entry tracks, one professional and one non-professional. Entrants will be judged primarily on their project's feasibility, scope and creativity.
The first grid computing competition, launched in 2006, invited participants to solve any type of problem. Entries ranged from using grid for asteroid tracking intelligence to exploiting the internet to help combat terrorism.
The previous winner, Gopok Goteng, proposed the use of a grid's processing power to crunch real-time CCTV footage and biometric data to identify potential high-risk incidents.
"We were very pleased with the success of the first competition and scope of entries," said Ian Osborne, director of Grid Computing Now.
"We expect an even greater response to this competition which has a very clear focus: to harness the power of grid computing to help tackle environmental issues."
Prizes for this year's competition include:
- A one-year membership to the BCS
- An industry mentor to help the winner progress their idea
- A week-long internship at the National e-Science Centre at the University of Edinburgh
- A Sony Vaio or Microsoft Xbox 360
- A one-year limited subscription to The 451 Group's EcoEfficient and Grid services research
The entry deadline for the first stage of the competition is 1 September 2008 and entry forms and further details can be found on the Grid Computing Now website.

well - I can't believe January has gone.. why does time go so quickly..
a week today I will be 30..
i have mixed feelings about it - age is just a number - time does and cannot stand still, nor would I want it too.. I love getting older, I feel more confidant and without question I know myself so much better now. I don't have lists of what I want to achieve, I don't have regrets about what's been and gone - it's all been a journey.
But it's still 30.. but it does seem a little too old! sigh
I have no idea how I'm celebrating - Oli is planning, or not planning.. I'm not sure which! and as a control freak this is not a nice feeling! I know there should be a dinner - I don't know if anyones been invited and I have no idea where!
What I do know is that in 15 days I'll be heading to New York and one of my favourite girls - a birthday treat to each other. I am so excited! We've been once and fell in Love - this time I want to go and get to know it a little better.. Any tips would be amazing! From food, to galleries, walks, parks, bagels and Burger's!
Hope you're all good.. I'll be back

Question about Canon PowerShot SD850 IS Digital Camera
After taking more than 200 pictures I am now getting a ? with unidentified image showing. I'm using a 4GB elite pro sd card. I found this same problem on another dcresource website but without a solution. The picute appears to have taken fine but when recalled late I get the "?". I put the card in a reader and tried different programs to open the picture but without success. It does the same thing for both .jpg and .avi files. I tried using the Canon tech support site but could not find it among FAQ. I had a similar problem. In addition, when I looked at other pictures on my 4GB SDHC card, there were distortions such as a yellow shading over half the picture, or vertical shifts/lines in the image. I suspect the SDHC card is at fault since it is new and I had no trouble with the original 32 Meg card that came with the camera. Any others have any advice?
Posted by bhsclassof70 on
There are really only two possibilities. Either the card is at fault, as you believe, or the camera is not encoding images correctly.
Since the image encoding is coded into the camera when it's manufactured, and it's worked fine until now, there is really no reason to believe that's the problem. Unless you've done some kind of upgrade to the camera's internal software (which I seriously doubt), there is nothing that would cause it to improperly encode images.
So, yes, it's the SDHC card. Do you still have the 32 Meg card? Try using it and see if the problem continues. Also, how big is the SDHC card? The SD850 is only rated to use up to a 4 GB card. That doesn't necessarily mean that larger cards won't work, but they're not guaranteed to work. If your card is larger than 4 GB, you might want to try a 4 GB card and see if it works better.
Alternatively, you could have just gotten a bad card. That does happen from time to time. Either way, I would try to return the card to the store you bought it from. Either it doesn't work, or it doesn't work for you.

There's nothing inherently wrong with your notebook, and nothing you can readily repair; most notebooks' video cards and their drivers aren't equipped to display video through a projector and on your notebook at the same time. You could try updating your video drivers, but you will likely have to change your system's primary video source to the projector.
Different PCs may require slightly different steps, but opening Display Properties in Windows XP should generally be your starting point. Click Start and Control Panel and double-click Display. In the Display Properties dialog box, click the Settings tab. At this point, you should consult your notebook's users manual to configure your notebook to use the projector as your primary video source.

The Allen Women's Soccer team defeated Cowley 1-0 Saturday afternoon in an important conference match. It was a big physical battle from both teams throughout the entire game. The Red Devils controlled the majority of the possession during the game but both teams missed chances to score in the first 45. The best opportunity of the first half came from the Red Devils when Leigh-Anne Bartlett was played in behind the Cowley defense and went 1v1 with the goalkeeper. She slotted it just past the on rushing Cowley keeper, but hit the post, and the rebound just missed Brynn Suddeth on the followup and she slipped trying to reach it, keeping the game 0-0 going into halftime.
The second half continued with the physical battle between both teams, and once again both teams were unable to convert on goal scoring opportunities. That is until Brynn Suddeth received the ball at the edge of the 18, and drove in the box at two Cowley defenders. As she pushed the ball past them, they hit her from either side and brought her down in the box for a foul and a penalty kick to the Red Devils. Even after being the one taken down hard on the foul, Sophomore Captain Brynn Suddeth shook it off and stepped up to take the PK. With just under 18 minutes to go, Suddeth composed herself and smashed the penalty into the back of the net to give the Red Devils the 1-0 lead. That goal was all the Red Devils would need to see the game out for the last 18 minutes and take the win.
That is now Suddeth's 5 goal on the season, bringing her total to 5 goals and 5 assists so far. Freshman Morgan Cossairt played the full 90 minutes in goal for the Red Devils again, making 4 saves, and earning her second shutout of the season. The Red Devils are now 6-6 on the season, and 3-4 in conference. They are back in action on Wednesday as they travel to KCK for another big conference match with kickoff at 5:00pm.

There she blows and there she goes on Matey! The worst is over as Irene vented her rage on land and sea last week. The roar of the high waves impacted many including travelers by air or sea.Let's talk openly. Being informed or educated is the key to alleviate fears of all kinds, but in particular, when traveling the seas in bad weather. So, let's look into hurricanes, cyclones, typhoons, and cruise-liners in the wake of Hurricane Irene. Land lovers pretty much understand tornadoes. However, how does it differ from a hurricane?
Hurricanes are defined by the following characteristics:
• They are tropical, meaning that they are generated in tropical areas of the Atlantic Ocean near the Equator.
• They are cyclonic, meaning that their wind's swirl around a central eye. Wind direction is counterclockwise (west to east) in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise (east to west) in the Southern Hemisphere (more about this later).
• They are low-pressure systems. The eye of a hurricane is always a low-pressure area. The lowest barometric pressures ever recorded to have occurred inside hurricanes.
• The winds swirling around the center of the storm have a sustained speed of at least 74 mph.
Now, Let's talk about the Cruise Lines in the event of Hurricanes. Cruise Lines have a top priority, and that is the safety of its passengers and crew. The only time the Cruise Lines will cancel a cruise is if it is absolutely necessary. You have heard of storm chasers? Well, it is a bit like that on a cruise ships. They work "around" the storm not through it.
Normally, the cruise lines watch the weather report prior to sailing and only notify passengers approximately two days in advance of the departure date. Then, thanks to mass media, the computer keeps the ships updated on the weather.What happens when a storm is in raging pursuit? The cruise line usually reroutes your itinerary away from the path of the storm, for they leave a day earlier or later depending on the circumstances. Most people are not aware that hurricanes are very localized. They hit in one area while outside of that projected area, the sea is calm. Storms can be tracked for days, so there is not any time that the crew is unaware of a fast-changing pace of a storm.
Miami has a National Hurricane Center, who uses specialized equipment to anticipate what the storm is doing and monitor weather conditions. So, communication is the key to safety in this instance.
Hurricane season has it advantages for cruisers, and now that we have assured you of your safety – your best deals are during the fall months, late August through mid-December so economically, it is the best time to purchase a cruise. In all reality, statistically speaking, even though Irene just paid us a visit, the chances are slim for hurricanes to be an issue while taking your cruise. You have to remain positive that if the ship encounters any bad weather, they are warned enough in advance to handle the situation by either not putting you on shore, alternating the original itinerary, or possibly arriving at your destination a day or so early, or a day or so late.
How safe are the cruise ships during a storm? All Cruise lines have a strategy to avoid rather than confront a storm. Your job is to start monitoring the weather one week prior to your trip via the weather channel or by calling your travel agent at Cruise Planners/American Express and get their expert advice on making your arrangements. Remember, information is a valuable tool at all times, but especially when cruising the water contrary to swimming in it.

Keep Cool, Save Energy and Protect Your Home's Interior
It's your home, you should be comfortable
It's no fun sticking to your furniture in the summer humidity, and running your air conditioning all season long is expensive. Installing window film can help you maintain a pleasant indoor temperature about 10 degrees cooler than outside. Coated glass distributes heat evenly within the room to reduce hot and cold spots and even helps lock heat inside in the winter. Tinted windows still let in plenty of natural sunlight but can reduce up to 80% of sun glare. So you can watch TV and use your computer without straining, while relaxing in a refreshing indoor climate.
Living comfortably is the best way to save energy
Stay cool and run your air conditioner sparingly during those hot and muggy Ottawa summers. Window tinting can reduce your home's annual cooling costs by up to 50%.
Keep your home beautiful
Over time, the sun's rays can fade flooring, drapes, furniture and fabrics. With 99.9% UV protection, our films block damaging UV rays and keep your decor looking vibrant and healthy for a lifetime. Envrio Films' products are designed to complement the aesthetic look of any home and some coatings can be nearly invisible when applied. They are completely environmentally-friendly and won't damage your home's exterior or the environment.
Protect against damage to your skin and home
Window tinting is endorsed by the Skin Cancer Foundation in helping reduce the risk of skin cancer. For protection against injury and break-in, shatter-proof film can strengthen glass and keep broken window panes intact in the event of impact.

A little wander through Liberty led me to this...
I was very well behaved and bought this one tiny thing. I was very well pampered by Holly, the counter lady. I had initially gone to try the Nars Sheer Glow foundation, but I rarely buy a foundation as soon as I have seen it, I find it so much better to let it sit on the skin, test out its longevity throughout the day.
She first exfoliated my face using Nars Hydrating Freshening Lotion which is a water based cleanser with essential oils carrying hydrating properties, ridding the skin of dryness and leaving it supple and refreshed.
She then applied Nars Nourishing Eye Cream as my under-eye can get a little dry, particularly as I am fasting. She used a tiny amount and described the under-eye area as a tissue, when dipped in water it soaks it up very quick, hence the need for only a small amount.
After that, she went on to apply Nars Sheer Glow foundation in shade 'Stromboli.' I am undecided as to whether I will buy it or not, so more on that later.
Then she went on to blushers. And boy, have I heard about these. But I was never overly tempted to buy them, the colours seemed far too shimmery, especially Orgasm and that kind of put me off.
I wanted to stay away from the usual dolly pinks that I go for and mentioned Sin. What can I say, it was love at first brush stroke.
|Nars blusher in 'Sin'
Sin is a beautiful 'berry tone with gold shimmer' and is far from the glittery sparkly image I had of Nars blush. It has a glowy sheen but is not overpowering and can be worn as a full cheek blush rather than just a highlight.
It is super silky and well pigmented which means it blends like a dream. £21 for 4.8g is not the cheapest of blushers but I guess it is one of those must - have items. Holly applied this just above my contour line, keeping away from the applies of my cheeks and dusting my contour line with 'Laguna' bronzer for definition.
Have you tried Nars Sheer Glow foundation, or any other Nars products?
'Treat your make up like jewellery for the face.Play with colours, shape, structure. It can transform you'

A sports fanatic, workaholic, former undercover police officer and multiple sclerosis advocate. Carol Cooke AM, is a Paralympian, world champion and one of the most inspirational figures in Australian sport. Carol was born in Canada and worked as a Police Officer for 14 years. She fell in love with an Australian, married and moved half way around the world and settled in Melbourne.
In 1998, after competing in Hobart at the Masters Swimming Nationals Carol awoke one morning with disturbing balance problems and double vision, another all too common symptom of MS was rearing its ugly head.
After an array of tests she was bluntly told "You have MS go home and get your affairs in order before you become incapacitated". Carol was told she would never walk again, let alone compete in sport. Carol was devastated. Having only been married for three years and with no immediate family around, her thoughts revolved around how she was going to cope with this unpredictable disease.
Fortunately, Carol found the determination and spirit to defy what the doctor had told her and she defied the odds. By 2001 she was using a wheelchair full time. Through regular exercise and Botox injections in her legs, Carol not only walks she rows and cycles, at a national level. Since being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, Carol has dedicated her working life to raising awareness and funds for MS. She developed and still leads the operation of the 24 hour Mega Swim event, dedicated to raising money for MS. Fourteen years later, the event has 17 swims running in Victoria, NSW and the ACT.
The Mega Swim raises money for the Go For Gold Scholarship program run by MS Limited and gives scholarships to people living with MS to follow a dream. The swims have raised over $6,000,000.00 which has also allowed MS Australia to initiate a Financial Assistance Scheme project for people with MS. Carol took up competitive rowing in December of 2006, made the Australian Rowing Team in 2008 and 2009 where she competed at the World Rowing Championships coming away with a 6th place.
She proved a natural on the water narrowly missing out on a position on the Beijing 2008 team and placed sixth at the 2009 World Rowing Championships. Carol switched sports to cycling with a plan to make the London 2012 Paralympic team. She went on to earn a Gold Medal in the mixed T1-T2 road Time Trial, even beating the men. In 2013 Carol became a dual World Champion in the Time Trial and Road Race. 2014 saw Carol undefeated winning the World Cup and World Championships again and finishing the season ranked #1 in the world.
Carol says that "nothing is impossible if we dare to face our fears and believe in ourselves and believes that the greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do." It is advice she shares through her work as an inspiring motivational speaker telling of her incredible life story.
Carol offers motivation and inspiration for corporate and community events alike. Her keynote motivational speaking topics include change management, goal setting, health and wellbeing, high performance with a disability, achieving impossible goals and 'sharing the journey'. She adds value through engagement and connection.
Although living with the never-ending symptoms of this unpredictable disease, Carol has the strength and courage to get up each day with a positive and motivated attitude. She has learnt to live for today and not worry about what may or may not happen in the future.
Carol is one of the most inspiring and motivating people I have met, an excellent public speaker who manages to grab the attention of all ages. Her dedication and endless work for MS sufferers is an inspiration to all.Bovis Lend Lease
She has overcome significant adversity with her battles with Multiple Sclerosis to become a role model and now a Paralympic Gold Medallist in cycling. Carol is an exceptional presenter who engages the audience with touching stories about her life's journey which make you laugh and cry. I have no hesitation in recommending Carol to any organisation that is seeking an inspirational and motivational speaker.St. Vincent's Hospital Foundation

GoPro Introduces Smaller, Lighter, Mightier Hero3+
GoPro have just launched a new and updated version of their top-end Hero3 camera, the Hero3+.
The 2013 Emmy Award winning camera is smaller, lighter and more powerful than its predecessor. It has 4x faster built-in Wi-Fi, a sharper lens and 30% battery life too.
In-fact, they've somehow managed to shave a full 20% off the weight while reducing the size and improving the other internals. The price for the Black model remains at an account-emptying £359.99 direct through GoPro themselves, though the older model remains at a similar price through resellers.
The Hero3+ supports 4K video at 15fps (frames per second) and 12mp photographs at 30fps – useful for those editable action shots. There's a new feature called SuperView which allows for an even wider perspective on your videos. GoPro say they've increased the image sharpness by 33% and reduced artifacting by a scale of two. Audio quality is also improved.
GoPro have put together the video below, shot completely on a GoPro Hero3+ camera.
