A boxing fanatic who threatened to torch the home of a Viagogo director if he was not paid $1million (£656,000) for lost Arsenal season tickets has been jailed for three years.
Ross Connor, (34), originally from Bretton in Peterborough, but who gave an address in Town Dam Lane, Donington, Spalding, waged an 'aggressive and sustained campaign' against the online ticket selling website after his passes were confiscated from Bayern Munich fans who celebrated their team's goal in The Emirates' home end during a Champions League clash.
He bombarded Viagogo staff with threatening emails, staged a sit-in at the central London offices and even asked on Twitter for someone to 'bang out this ginger t****r' Ed Parkinson, the company's director.
But when the company refused to budge, Connor sent a sympathy card to Mr Parkinson's family home, telling his wife to flee with their two children within two hours.
He also menaced that he had wasted so much money on legal fees that 'burning this house would have been the cheapest option', the Old Bailey heard.
Connor made headlines when he was stopped by Thai border guards who refused to believe he was the same person after dropping from 21st to 13st at a year-long kick boxing camp.
He denied blackmail, but was convicted by a jury of seven men and five women before Judge Richard Marks QC, the Common Sergeant of London, jailed him for three years.
The judge told Connor: 'Your actions... amounted to an aggressive and sustained campaign over a lengthy period of a number of months, which was calculated and did cause real intimidation, having regard to your insinuations and threats to the personal safety of members of staff of Viagogo as well as family members of Mr Parkinson, culminating in the sending of a sympathy card, which in my view was utterly indefensible.'
Connor, who has been pictured online with boxing champions Manny Pacquiao and Joe Calzaghe, sold tickets to concerts and sporting events on the secondary market using Viagogo's website.
But he fell out with the company after he was wrongly allowed to sell tickets to Arsenal's 2013 Champions League clash with Bayern Munich on the site.
The German fans who bought the tickets ended up in the home stand at the Emirates Stadium among Arsenal fans, and after celebrating Bayern's opening goal, they were ejected and the tickets confiscated.
Connor demanded Viagogo pay him £5,000 per lost ticket and the company did reimburse a total of £12,500.
The judge told him: 'Against this background, whether with sound justification or not, you bore Viagogo a very serious grudge and when they refused to comply with these ever-increasing demands to be reimbursed in ever larger amounts of money, which ended up at $1million, this developed into an obsession as far as you were concerned.
'You bombarded employees with texts, phone calls and emails, becoming more aggressive in tone with larger demands.'
Connor started by occupying the Viagogo offices in Holborn, central London, taking photos and refusing to leave until he was arrested by police.
He then started sending threatening emails to the company demanding £400,000 and warning: 'I'm just after what I'm owed' adding 'I will go to any lengths.'
Prosecutor Archie McKay said Connor was 'fixated' on pursuing his claim, saying in an email on April 14 last year that ignoring people would 'make them more made and push them to new extremes'.
Connor then broadcast images of Viagogo staff, calling them 'a few of the scum' and instructing viewers to attack Mr Parkinson by asking: 'Anyone want to bang out that ginger tosser from Viagogo?'
'That's an invitation to punch in the face Mr Parkinson because he is a director of Viagogo and his office address Connor put with it', said Mr McKay.
'It is the prosecution case that Mr Connor knew full well he was dealing with a business, he had previously benefited from their embarrassment by way of a pay off.
'This was his design - to be such a problem for the company that decision makers come to a similar business decision and he would be paid.
'Part of the design was to be relentless, his mindset had to be "you can't ignore me, I will not go away".
'All the actions are designed to cause as much embarrassment and cost to the company as he could.'
Mr McKay said Connor reported the company to the police, and sent an email to the American chief executive Eric Baker in October last year, demanding $1m (£656,000) in compensation to settle his claim.
Shortly afterwards, in November last year, he sent the sympathy card to Mr Parkinson's wife, saying: 'I write to you now as Ed thinks it's fine to play all these games to wind me up.
'Viagogo owe me a large sum of money and are ignoring all legal attempts.
'I've wasted so much money in legal fees, burning this house would have been the cheapest option.
'You have two hours from signing for this for Ed Parkinson to contact me.
'If you ignore this final request, you address will be made public online so I won't be the only one chasing you.
'I will advertise lots of cheap items to this address so you get door-knocked all day, never knowing when the real call comes.'
The card added: 'Innocent people don't need involved' and suggested she go 'back to Wales' with her children.'
Connor, originally from Bretton, Peterborough, told jurors he was just making a determined attempt to get compensation he was legally owed.
The defendant, whose bail address was given as Town Dam Lane, Donington, Spalding, Lincs, denied blackmail.

Technology is the new black
When I think of fashion, I think of the clothes on my back and how stylishly I've put them together. I don't think technology. Yet, fashion retailers are increasingly using technology to ensure that you (and I) look FABulous.
At first, fashion retailers were slow to grasp how technology could improve sales, and decrease returns and markdowns. That's changing big time as fashion retailers make tech one of the basics in their wardrobe.
Last week, I attended New York Fashion Tech Demo Day, which is a public/private partnership among the Partnership Fund for New York City, Springboard Enterprises, and 10 major fashion retailers. NY Fashion Tech Lab is an accelerator program that aims to dramatically increase the number of fashion industry jobs in New York City -- currently 175,000 or 6% of all jobs in the city. The U.S. apparel market is the largest in the world, about 28% of the global total, which equates to $331 billion, according to Statista. NYC is arguably the fashion capital of the United States.
Supporting tech startups in NYC's core industries
Because NYC has the highest concentration of large corporate technology users, we should be cultivating startups that meet their needs within the city's core industries, said Maria Gotsch, President and CEO of the Partnership Fund for New York City. It is in the best interests of established companies that they work with start-ups that create innovative technologies to meet their needs. And it's in the best interest of start-ups to find out what the big guys need.
For NY Fashion Tech Lab, eight start-up and growth fashion-tech companies were selected from 120 applicants. Those chosen by the 10 fashion-retailer members have the promise of solving a major pain-point for the retailer, said Amy Millman, president of Springboard. Five of the eight firms have women founders.
Focus on the needs of fashion retailers
Most incubator and accelerator programs provide feedback from the investor perspective, said Larry Nipon, chief revenue officer of TRENDALYTICS, which provides insights on brand positioning, product mix, regional demand and seasonality by identifying consumer engagement patterns in social and search data ensuring that shoppers have the styles, sizes and colors they want and not what they don't want. This program provided feedback from the fashion retailer perspective, the people who ultimately will buy our product. The feedback was invaluable, he continued.
It was also about the camaraderie. Only another entrepreneur understands the pressures of entrepreneurship. It's about being part of a community of entrepreneurs within your industry that support each other, said Karen Moon, CEO and co-founder of TRENDALYTICS. You can call the participants when issues arise to problem-solve.
The program provided unprecedented access to purchase decision-makers from the leaders in the industry, said Amanda Curtis, CEO, Nineteenth Amendment, an e-marketplace and scalable production and management system for emerging brands. Fashionistas who crave individuality can discover, critique and buy exclusive designs. Lots of folks provide training about business planning and projecting financials, and office space. This was very different. Curtis will be moving her company to NYC because, when it comes to fashion, the City is the place to be.
Meeting with the large fashion retailers wasn't about selling to them, it was about listening, said Erica Kammann, President and Co-Founder of Suddenlee, which provides next day delivery at an affordable cost. "They told us exactly how to pitch them." Ultimately we built relationships that will be cultivated long after the program has ended, said Yaniv Nissim, CEO and Co-Founder of Stylit. Whether you are a fashionista or "shopping impaired," Stylit customizes head-to-toe outfit recommendations to your style preferences, budget, body type and size.
Industry approach produces better results
"We engage the leading companies in these sectors to work with the entrepreneurs, bringing business relationships to the table as well," said Kay Koplovitz, chairman, Springboard Enterprises. "It's the human capital they [retailer members, mentors and advisors] bring that makes the difference on the speed companies scale and their ability to raise capital." Springboard complements the fashion retailer's advice with a team from its network of advisors, coaches, and investors tailored to each participant's specific needs.
Alexis Maybank, Gilt Group, a pioneer in utilizing data in its business, and Richard Harris of Intent Media, a predictive analytics company, were teamed with Jade Huang, StyleSage, a real-time strategic analytics web platform that answers the questions: What designs will consumers love? How should they be prices? How much should be produced and stock in stores?
Even though this was a first-time program in the fashion-tech space, both the Partnership and Springboard have done this separately in other industries. Being part of such a prestigious program gave Huang, the youngest company in the program and the only one who hadn't yet raised money, the credibility she needed to raise money.
Women ensure that women-led companies get the funding they deserve
High-potential women-led companies are underfunded. Only 20% of angel-backed firms and 13% of venture-capital-backed firms are women-led. Women are changing that. Whether it is Pipeline Fellowship which trains wealthy women to be angel investors or Golden Seeds and Springboard (launching this year) that have venture capital funds targeting women-led companies.
Supporting women with quality ideas, who have the ability to execute and have been primed for success will strengthen a key segment of the City's economy to the benefit of us all, by creating jobs and innovative products and services.

Use of Gears-
- To reverse the direction of rotation
- To increase or decrease the speed of rotation
- To move rotational motion to a different axis
- To keep the rotation of two axis synchronized
Advantages of Teeth-
- They prevent slippage between the gears - therefore axles connected by gears are always synchronized exactly with one another.
- They make it possible to determine exact gear ratios - you just count the number of teeth in the two gears and divide. So if one gear has 60 teeth and another has 20, the gear ratio when these two gears are connected together is 3:1.
- They make it so that slight imperfections in the actual diameter and circumference of two gears don't matter. The gear ratio is controlled by the number of teeth even if the diameters are a bit off.

Innocence of Muslims
Innocence of Muslims[1][2] is an anti-Islamic short film that was written and produced by Nakoula Basseley Nakoula.[3][4] Two versions of the 14-minute video were uploaded to YouTube in July 2012, under the titles The Real Life of Muhammad and Muhammad Movie Trailer.[5] Videos dubbed in Arabic were uploaded during early September 2012.[6] Anti-Islamic content had been added in post-production by dubbing, without the actors' knowledge.[7]
What was perceived as denigration of the Islamic prophet Muhammad resulted in demonstrations and violent protests against the video to break out on September 11 in Egypt and spread to other Arab and Muslim nations and to some western countries. The protests led to hundreds of injuries and over 50 deaths.[8][9][10][11] Fatwas calling for the harm of the video's participants were issued and Pakistani government minister Bashir Ahmad Bilour offered a bounty for the killing of Nakoula, the producer.[12][13][14][15] The film has sparked debates about freedom of speech and Internet censorship.[16]
Plot and description
The video titled "The Real Life of Muhammad", uploaded on July 1, 2012, has a running time of 13:03 in 480p format. The video "Muhammad Movie Trailer" was uploaded on July 2, 2012, with a running time of 13:51 in 1080p format. They are similar in content.
The trailer starts with a scene portraying the reportedly increasing persecution of Copts and poor human rights in recent-day Egypt, with rise in church-burnings, growing religious intolerance and sectarian violence that has been seen against the 10% population of Egypt that are Copts, and complaints that authorities have failed to protect this population.[17][18] The New York Times stated: "The trailer opens with scenes of Egyptian security forces standing idle as Muslims pillage and burn the homes of Egyptian Christians. Then it cuts to cartoonish scenes depicting the Prophet Muhammad as a child of uncertain parentage, a buffoon, a womanizer, a homosexual, a child molester, and a greedy, bloodthirsty thug."[19]
Most references to Islam have been overdubbed, added after the filming over the original spoken lines.[20] The film's 80 cast and crew members have disavowed the film: "The entire cast and crew are extremely upset and feel taken advantage of by the producer. ... We are deeply saddened by the tragedies that have occurred."[21]
The script was written about life in Egypt 2,000 years ago and was titled Desert Warrior.[22] It was a story about a character called "Master George". Several actors were brought in to overdub lines. They were directed to say specific words, such as "Muhammad".[23] Hiding from the attack, a doctor and his family take shelter in their home where the doctor takes up a pen and begins writing on a whiteboard: "Man + X = BT". "BT" is overdubbed as "Islamic terrorist". The young woman asks what "X" is. He tells her that she needs to discover that for herself.
The video continues with scenes set in the past. Some scenes depict the main character referred to in overdubbing as "Muhammad". In one scene, the "Muhammad" character's wife, "Khadija", suggests mixing parts of the Torah and the New Testament.[24] In another scene, the Muhammad is seen speaking to the donkey known as Ya'fur in Islamic tradition.[25]
A Vanity Fair article described the video as "Exceptionally amateurish, with disjointed dialogue, jumpy editing, and performances that would have looked melodramatic even in a silent movie, the clip is clearly designed to offend Muslims, portraying Mohammed as a bloodthirsty murderer and Lothario and pedophile with omnidirectional sexual appetites."[26]
Reuters said "it portrays Mohammad as a fool, a philanderer and a religious fake and in one clip posted on YouTube, he was shown in an apparent sexual act with a woman. For many Muslims it is blasphemous even to show a depiction of the Prophet."[27]
Filmmaker and promoters
The movie was written and produced by Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, using the pseudonym of "Sam Bacile".[3][4][28] Nakoula claimed that he was creating an epic, two-hour film but no such film has come to light.[29]
The project was promoted by Morris Sadek by email and on the blog of the National American Coptic Assembly.[30]
According to a consultant on the project, the videos are "trailers" from a full-length film that was shown only once, to an audience of fewer than ten people, at a rented theater in Hollywood, California. Posters advertising the film used the title Innocence of Bin Laden.[31] The film's original working title was Desert Warrior, and it told the story of "tribal battles prompted by the arrival of a comet on Earth".[32] On September 27, 2012, U.S. federal authorities stated Nakoula was arrested in Los Angeles for allegedly violating terms of his probation. Prosecutors stated that some of the violations included making false statements regarding his role in the film and his use of the alias "Sam Bacile".[33] On November 7, 2012, Nakoula pleaded guilty to four of the charges against him and was sentenced to one year in prison and four years of supervised release.[34][35]
In July 2011, Nakoula started casting actors for Desert Warrior, the working title at that time.[22] The independent film was directed by a person first identified in casting calls[36] as Alan Roberts, whose original cut and filmed dialog and script did not include references to Muhammad or Islam.[37][38] According to the casting.backstage.com announcement, it was to be "an HD 24P historical Arabian Desert adventure film" with "Sam Bassiel" as producer with shooting to start in August 2011. The lead was to be "George: male, 20–40, a strong leader, romantic, tyrant, a killer with no remorse, accent".
American non-profit Media for Christ obtained film permits to shoot the movie in August 2011, and Nakoula provided his home as a set and paid the actors, according to government officials and those involved in the production.[39] Joseph Nassralla Abdelmasih, president of Media for Christ, claimed that the company's name was used without his knowledge. He also stated that the film was edited afterwards without Media's involvement.[40] Steve Klein, an anti-Muslim activist, claimed to be the spokesman for the film.[41] Klein told journalist Jeffrey Goldberg that despite previous claims, "Bacile" is not a real person and is neither Israeli nor Jewish and that the name is a pseudonym.[42] Israeli authorities found no sign of his being an Israeli citizen,[43] and there was no indication of a "Sam Bacile" living in California or participating in Hollywood filmmaking.[44]
By September 13, 2012, "Sam Bacile" was identified as Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, a 55-year-old Coptic Christian from Egypt living near Los Angeles, California,[45] with known aliases.[46] In the 1990s, he served time in prison for manufacturing methamphetamine.[45][47] He pleaded no contest in 2010 to bank fraud charges, was sentenced to 21 months in prison,[45][47] and was released on probation in June 2011.[48] Nakoula claims to have written the script while in prison and raised between $50,000 and $60,000 from his wife's family in Egypt to finance the film.[3][49] The FBI contacted him due to the potential for threats, but said he was not under investigation.[50] On September 27, 2012, U.S. federal authorities arrested Nakoula in Los Angeles for suspicion of violating terms of his probation. Violations included making false statements regarding his role in the film and his use of the alias "Sam Bacile". On November 7, 2012, Nakoula pleaded guilty to four of the charges against him and was sentenced to one year in prison and four years of supervised release.[34][35]
Law professor Stephen L. Carter[51] and constitutional law expert Floyd Abrams[52] have each stated that the government cannot prosecute the film's producer for its content because of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which protects freedom of speech in the United States.
Screening and Internet upload
The video production "Innocence of Bin Laden" was advertised in the Anaheim-based newspaper Arab World during May and June 2012. The advertisement cost $300 to run three times in the paper and was paid by an individual identified only as "Joseph". The advertisements were noted by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), whose Islamic affairs director stated, "When we saw the advertisement in the paper, we were interested in knowing if it was some kind of pro-jihadist movie." Brian Donnelly, a guide for a Los Angeles based tour of famous crime scenes who noticed the poster advertising at the Vine Theater, said, "I didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing. We didn't know what it was about because we can't read Arabic."[53] The earlier version of the film was screened once at the Vine Theater of June 23, 2012 to an audience of only ten people. The film had no subtitles and was presented in English. An employee of the theater stated, "The film we screened was titled The Innocence of Bin Laden", and added that it was a "small viewing".[54]
A second screening was planned for June 30, 2012. A local Hollywood blogger, John Walsh, attended a June 29 Los Angeles City Council meeting, where he raised his concerns about the title of a film to be screened that appeared to support the leader of al-Qaeda. He said "There is an alarming event occurring in Hollywood on Saturday. A group has rented the Vine Street theater to show a video entitled Innocence of Bin Laden. We have no idea what this group is." The blog site reported that the June 30 screening had been canceled.[55][56] A Current TV producer photographed the poster while it was being displayed at the theater as advertising to later discuss on the talk show The Young Turks.[57] The poster did not denigrate Muslims, but rather referred to "my Muslim brother". In a translation provided by the ADL, the poster stated it would reveal "the real terrorist who caused the killing of our children in Palestine, and our brothers in Iraq and Afghanistan",[58] a phrase that has been used by Palestinians to protest U.S. support of Israel.[59]
The film was supported and promoted by pastor Terry Jones, known for a Quran-burning controversy, which also led to riots around the world.[60] Jones said that he planned to show a 13-minute trailer at his church, the Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville, Florida, on September 11, 2012.[61] It was reported on September 14, 2012, that a planned screening by a Hindu organization in Toronto would be coupled with "snippets from other movies that are offensive to Christians and Hindus". Because of security concerns, no public venue was willing to show the film, although the group still planned on showing the film in the future to a private audience of about 200 people.[62][63] Siobhán Dowling of The Guardian reported that "a far-right Islamophobic group in Germany", the Pro Germany Citizens' Movement, had uploaded the trailer on their own website and wanted to show the entire film, but authorities were attempting to prevent it.[64]
Blocking of the YouTube video
The video clips were posted to YouTube on July 1 by user "sam bacile";[5] however, by September, the film had been dubbed into Arabic and was drawn to the attention of the Arabic-speaking world by blogger Morris Sadek. Sadek's own Egyptian citizenship had been revoked.[65][66] A two-minute excerpt dubbed in Arabic was broadcast on September 9 by Sheikh Khalad Abdalla[67][68] on Al-Nas, an Egyptian television station.[69]
YouTube voluntarily blocked the video in Egypt and Libya and blocked the video in Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, India, and Singapore due to local laws, while Turkey, Brazil, and Russia have initiated steps to get the video blocked.[70][71][72] Google, Inc., the owner of YouTube, also blocked the video in Libya and Egypt citing "the very difficult situation" in those countries.[73] In September 2012, the governments of Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Sudan, and Pakistan blocked YouTube for not removing the video, saying that the website would remain suspended until the film was removed.[74][75][76] Government authorities in Chechnya and Daghestan issued orders to internet providers to block YouTube and Iran announced that it was blocking Google and Gmail.[77][78][79] Google also agreed to block the anti-Islamic movie in Jordan.[76]
The White House asked YouTube to review whether to continue hosting the video at all under the company's policies. YouTube said the video fell within its guidelines as the video is against Islam, but not against Muslim people, and thus not considered "hate speech".[71] Ben Wizner of the American Civil Liberties Union said of this, "It does make us nervous when the government throws its weight behind any requests for censorship."[80]
Ninth Circuit court rulings on removal
On February 26, 2014, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ordered YouTube to remove the video from its website by a 2-1 majority. The ruling was in response to a complaint by actress Cindy Lee Garcia, who had objected to the use of her performance, which had been partially dubbed for its inclusion in Innocence of Muslims. Garcia had believed during production that she was appearing in a film called Desert Warrior, which was described as a "historical Arabian Desert adventure film", and was unaware that anti-Islamic material would be added at the post-production stage. Garcia had argued that she held a copyright interest in her performance.[81][82]
In May 2015, in an en banc opinion, the Ninth Circuit reversed the panel's decision, vacating the order for the preliminary injunction.[83][84][85] Ibrahim Hooper, the National Communications Director and spokesperson for the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), advised that people should not watch the film.[86]
Reactions and consequences
Protests were held in many nations, through Islamic countries in the Middle East,[87][88] Asia,[89][90] and Africa[89] as well as the United Kingdom,[89][91] France,[92] the Netherlands,[93] and Australia.[94][95]

Enter Taja Sevelle, Unique For The Time of 1987
IJustDiedAlive | Northern CA, USA | 06/25/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Taja Sevelle's debut album was very unique at the time of it's release back in 1987. Taja was not a teen idol or a pop queen but she did her share to bring some very good music to the scene. In a time of Madonna, Janet J., Tiffany, & Debbie, Taja stood very much apart from those performers. Some say she was just a puppet of Prince but that is just far from true. Taja was 25 years old at the time of her debut album.
Love Is Contagious- The lead off single garnered Taja some attention especially overseas. The music and vocal production were very original and fresh. Taja's voice could be described as a cross between Sade and Deniece Williams. 10/10
Wouldn't You Love To Love Me- The Prince penned song that escaped Madonna and landed at Taja's door. Very funky cool song that is very much of Prince's style. 10/10
Popular- A song about girls who look for attention in the wrong way. Very good production. Excellent chorus. 10/10
How Could You Do Me So Bad- Beautiful ballad that shows what Taja can do best. I think Mariah must have been influenced a little by the production of this song. 10/10
Take Me For A Ride- Sounds similar to the style of Madhouse music and we all know why. This is another Prince-ish sounding upbeat tune penned by Taja. 10/10
If I Could Get Your Attention- This song has a strong drum beat through it and it sounds so cool. This album just gets better and better as time goes by. This song could have been released today and stood against some of todays music. 10/10
Infatuation- This song is one of those Rock'N'Soul songs. Taja sounds great with r&b and pop-rock grooves. She can hang.10/10
Baby's Got A Lover- Simply Sweet. A lullaby about first love. One of Taja's best songs ever. 10/10
Mama 16- An Ode to the teenage mothers of America. Rock'N'Soul works very well here as well. 10/10
Fly For Your Painted Rainbow- An influential ballad meant to tell you not to waist your time while your here. Do what makes you happy and just keep on and keep on trying to fly for it. An Absolutely Beautiful Song. 10/10
Yeah I gave each song a 10 and they honestly all deserved it. Taja Sevelle's debut album does in deed have Prince's elements in it but it's not too over powering it's just right.
If you are able to find this cd I hope you enjoy it as much as I have. Be sure to check out Taja's other cd's entitled FOUNTAINS FREE, TOYS OF VANITY, and the cd ep GOOD TIMES.
Marvelous Album From The Great Taja Sevelle
MizKyGirl | Waukegan, IL, USA | 01/10/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Taja Sevelle was an excellent singer, but she didn't get enough publicity with this album. Nonetheless, I love this album and Taja's a great singer. Here's my review.
1.) Love is Contagious: Taja's well-known hit song to date. A nice soothing ballad along with Taja's soulful singing voice.
2.) Wouldn't You Love To Love Me: A cool, upbeat song that's very catchy and fun to sing along to.
3.) Popular: Great funky song with great music, great chorus, and Taja's great voice.
4.) How Could You Do Me So Bad: A beautiful ballad that starts out slow with the lovely piano music and then switches to sort of an R&B slow jam. I luv this song!
5.) Take Me For A Ride: Another cool funky song to dance along to along with a catchy chorus.
6.) If I Could Get Your Attention: Cool, infectious funky song with a catchy melody and chorus.
7.) Infatuation: Great upbeat song with a mixture of pop, soul, and
rock 'n' roll.
8.) Baby's Got A Lover: Another sweet ballad that's soothing and relaxing to listen to.
9.) Mama 16: Funky, upbeat song which could be considered an anthem for young teenage mothers.
10.) Fly For Your Painted Rainbow: Beautiful ballad to end the album off on a good note.
I give this album 5 stars, but if I could, I'd give it 10 or 100 stars!"
This cd is excellent

"This cd is so good I only recently bought it on cd after having the cassette for nearly 20 years. Taja Sevelle's first album is still one of my favorites of all time thanks to Prince of course."

When we think of security of computing devices, on the same way it is also being felt about how secure your systems are? It is not the sheer adage of "better safe than sorry", more meanings are associated with all these. During these times, it is essential to have a strong sense of awakening within security parameters which can draw specific balance between good security systems as against deep penetrated security-mechanism.
Lots of people are hiding themselves somewhere in the world with the one ambition to steal your "user names" and "passwords". This is all about secure your computing environment, just like we build strong houses to secure and protect our near and dear ones. On the other hand, it gives away ample opportunity for humans to go for a ride to the virtual world, it was not a smooth sailing and it is not "roses all the way".
Simultaneously, it introduces the sub-world of Internet worms, which are moving here and there and trying to search the most haunted places namely computer users. It is not the same as everyday as all these Internet worms aims at computers that are going to destroy the basic functionality of computers. With the advent of computers in masses of data flows in sound as well as outbound from your computer and security of data is paramount as the cost of theft of data is humongous. Data theft can bring about personal as well as professional reputation of yours in the sand level and for this it is always good to save your data from the prying eyes of hackers in order to save your day.
Corporation is more worried about their loss of data as it can lead to huge loss of their skilled works. They are adopting different new and innovative methods for data security. Some are opting for enterprise level cloud computing in order to save data at some other places in the world. There are concerns about privacy leaks regarding data management and in order to save data from being going to the other person it is better to think of compelling and possibly build a stiffer set of security measures all around.
Nearly 90 percentages of personal computers are running hugely popular Microsoft OS and nearly 90 percentages of mobile operating are using android as their operating system. Hackers are attacking these two famous OS in order to gain popularity as well as getting gigantic streams of data that have been flowing from all over these. New vulnerabilities have been constantly being lurking around Microsoft as well Android OS and both are releasing updates in order to patch these vulnerabilities. It is a constant process even most of the OS which is the latest also has to bear the brunt of constant updates and these can annoy users. But it is also desirable to keep updates on in order to keep your computer from external aggression. It is always better to keep your computer updated all the time. Both companies are trying harder to keep your computer safe and secure.
It is always advantageous to turn off guest accounts in your computer user accounts. The guest account can be intrusive and it is better to stay away from it and also Internet worms can establish administrator account from the setting of the guest account. Though with the advent of the latest incarnation of Microsoft operating system, advent of "user account control" and "standard account" gives way to a perfect security as well as integrated account system control for user. In "standard account" use is able to use it just like a sandbagging environment where user is able to use the computer discretely without worrying of internet worms and this creates the simple process where the user is not worried about complete sense of security as system runs in a sort of virtual environment.
"shoulder surfing" is a phenomenon where the third person wanders here and there to see whether someone watching from the side to watch and memories yours passwords. There are some processes which can harm your computer for being attending to contact with outside servers, and it is best to disable those services so that your computer will not be vulnerable to any such external attack from computers. Of late security vulnerabilities have been found with operating systems other than Microsoft Windows. Even Linux which otherwise regarded as trustworthy is full of vulnerabilities. Macintosh computer also sees the surge of virus attacks of late and this has wider implications.
This goes on to prove that no OS is devoid of such internet attacks. What is now the road ahead for all these imminent virus attacks. Whichever, computer people are utilizing virus attack always prompts the way for the difficult path to surpass as it can block the speed of the computer to a greater level and also with it one can find life tough. The primary difficulty with these is the recovery of data. Data safety is major issues concerning the organization and they do not want to spend a huge sum of money to third party recovery companies which can recover the files but there is no guarantee of them to store those data and sell it to competitors. All these adds to the worries which Microsoft has released "File history" in its latest incarnation of Windows where it is giving opportunity for users to save all forms of data to external drive automatically and in this way with regular backups all yours data now been stored on your external hard drive with safety and care.
There is much software in the market which deals with complete encryption of data with a single click. In its latest version of Windows, it has introduced "Bit locker" encryption which can encrypt data with superior mechanisms. With the advent of excellent pass word managers and most of them are free and some are running in the cloud in order to secure all yours passwords and they will make yours life easier with automated passing of user names as well as passwords to different browsers and this makes the entire state of password management to a greater level. Most modern web browsers are compatible with secure websites. Most of modern web browsers are implementing this in the long way and many popular websites are introducing their websites in secure version in order to create a sense of security among existing customers. This is a great way to secure the transmission of data without any such disturbances as with it entire data transmission goes with perfect encryption mechanisms.
Data security is a primary concern for all including corporate and public. Data are money and there are many lascivious persons who want to have your data to sell to them to require companies in order to earn money. On the other hand, this creates intrusion in privacy and in the long run it can ruin the prospects of your business as well as financial transactions. For corporate data is their business and they do not want it to be with their rivals and for this more and more complicated secure mechanisms are here to stay and in order to have a greater transparency among corporate as well as individuals the need of the hours is to go for security and build a strong sense of "safe computing practices".

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P100
Small, sleek, and speedy, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P100 is a pleasure to shoot with, and it captures crisp, generally well-exposed images, with pleasing colors. This handy 5-megapixel camera has a Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar 7.9- to 23.7-mm (35-mm equivalent: 38 to 114 mm), f/2.8 to f/5.2, 3X optical zoom lens, which retracts into the camera's body when powered down. It's got a bright, 1.8-inch LCD (in addition to its optical viewfinder) that performs well in direct sunlight. The controls are nicely positioned for one-handed shooting, but because the P100's lens is positioned on the opposite side from the shutter button, the camera is better balanced for shooting two-handed. Still, as the curved end fits so perfectly into the left hand, we don't mind. The camera takes a lithium ion battery (we found battery life to be excellent) and Memory Stick and Memory Stick Pro media. The P100 is a worthy challenger to our top-rated Kodak LS743, but the Kodak is somewhat simpler to use and, though only four megapixels, is similar in resolution.
The P100 offers spot and multipattern metering, six scene modes, manual, aperture-priority and shutter-priority modes, and exposure value (EV) compensation in 1/3 EV steps in a range of +/-2 EV. Shutter speeds range from 1/1000 to 30 seconds. The P100 also has a real-time semitransparent histogram that cleverly overlays a small portion of the LCD without obscuring it. The menus are quickly scannable, but their organization and structure can be a bit confusing.
You can shoot JPEGs at five resolution settings, ranging from 640-by-480 to 2,592-by-1,944. The camera also shoots MPEG-VX video at up to 640-by-480 at 30 fps, until the media card is full. We're impressed with the quality of the video. And when you run out of memory, the camera has handy cutting abilities for marking and discarding unwanted pieces of clips in camera; this feature takes a few tries to get used to, but it's a nice extra. In burst mode, the P100 takes up to nine maximum-quality shots at 1.6 fps.

The 1.3-megapixel camera takes pictures in five resolutions (1,280x960; 640x480; 320x240; 176x144; and 160x120) and comes with a 3-, 5-, or 10-second self-timer; brightness and white-balance controls; landscape and portrait modes; three color effects; and three shutter sounds, plus a silent option. There's also a flash and a 2X digital zoom, though it's unusable at the highest resolution. And if you're ever lost in the dark, the flash provides a meager amount of light. The video camera records clips in one resolution (176x144) with sound and at 15 frames per second. The flash and the zoom are usable here too, and you can adjust the brightness and white balance. Clips are limited to a short 15 seconds. Once you're done with your work, you can save it to the 6315i's internal memory--it comes with 21.5MB of shared space--but you're better off using a Micro SD card. Despite being somewhat blurry, photo quality was average for a 1.3-megapixel camera. Colors were fine, but objects were a bit fuzzy.
As an EV-DO phone, the 6315i supports the full range of Verizon's 3G services including the V Cast video service and the V Cast music store. The music player's interface is standard for all phones from the carrier that support the music store. You also have the option to purchase a variety of Verizon applications including VZ Navigator and Backup Assistance and a host of alternative services such as Vindigo MovieGoer and Accuweather. And of course Verizon's Get it Now Internet service has even more programming choices. There are no included games, but you can always buy titles via the WAP 2 wireless Web browser; just remember that Verizon uses BREW instead of Java. You can personalize the 6315i with a variety of wallpapers, screensavers, and sounds, or you can buy more options if you want them.
We tested the dual-band (CDMA 800/1900; EV-DO) 6315i in San Francisco using Verizon Wireless service. Call quality was decent overall. We could hear callers plainly, and though they knew we were using a cell phone, they didn't report any problems. Volume was fine as well, but we did hear some static at the highest sound levels. It's not enough to be bothersome, but it was noticeable nonetheless. On the other hand, we didn't get any interference from other electronic devices. Speakerphone quality was good on our end, and though it was loud enough, it's best if you keep the speaker pointed toward you. Callers had more trouble hearing us, though, unless we were in a quiet setting. Calls with a Bluetooth headset were satisfactory as well.
Verizon's coverage remained strong throughout our test area, and we received strong EV-DO reception even in a subway station. The 3G network made Web browsing sufficiently zippy, and games downloaded in less than 30 seconds.
Multimedia performance didn't quite measure up on the 6315i. Music quality in particular was unimpressive. Not only did it sound too brassy, but the lack of stereo speakers doesn't help the situation. A stereo wired headset (not included) helped a bit, but still we weren't wowed. Keep in mind that you will need Verizon's Music Essentials pack ($29) to use the player fully, and that the 6315i does not have a stereo Bluetooth profile. Music download time was excruciatingly slow--it took 3 minutes, 15 seconds to download a 3.7MB song. Streaming videos were a bit better, but still quite pixilated and jerky. On the upside the 6315i paused to rebuffer just once in a few videos.
The Nokia 6315i has a promised talk time of 3.8 hours and a promised standby time of 10 days. Our tests showed a talk time of 4 hours and 3 minutes. We also managed to get an MP3 playback time of 11 hours and 37 minutes. According to FCC radiation tests, the 6315i has a digital SAR rating of 1.37 watts per kilogram.

Album Design:
Two Options:
1. I pick all the images and design the album and you have one time to change up to 5 images at no charge.
2. You pick your top favorite images and I design the album from there. Each additional image change with cost $25/image.
- 3 months after the wedding I need the 40 images that you want for your album design
- 1 month later I will have the first draft of your album design. I will upload it into a proofing gallery with a password.
- Note: I would pick a few getting ready shots, 5-7 of your favorites of the two of you, 2-3 bridesmaids, 2-3 groomsmen, 2-4 family, and the rest of wedding details and reception pictures. I will fill in the rest of the design with images that I think compliment what you picked to complete the look. I like to keep my designs very simple letting the pictures speak for themselves.
- If you are selecting your own images please go to your proofing gallery, this is where you will submit your images. All you need to do is select an image and click on album on the right hand side. This will place the image into you album section. You will notice on the tool bar up top the word " Album", here you can see all the images that you have selected. Once you are done selecting your images select the type of album that it is for and submit it.
- You then have 2 weeks to decide on any changes that you would like done to your album. If I picked all the images you can change up to 5 images at no cost, more and it will cost you $25/image. If you picked your 40 images you can change up to five images at $25/image. You have 2 weeks to make any final changes.
- Within 2 weeks I will make those changes and submit the album design to you one more time. Once you have approved your album design I will email you an Album approval form where you will need to fill out the final details for your album i.e cover material, and cover image.
- Once I have received the final info from you I will make the finishing touches to your album and send it off to my album company
- It takes about 6-8 weeks for the album to get shipped to me. At that time I will call you to set up a meeting for you to come pick it up.
- Phew we are done. Time to sit back and enjoy your album.

Counting objects/people forms the basis for a range of high-tech solutions, including retail analytics, queue management, building management and security applications. By using the counter heuristic you can count incoming and outgoing objects (e.g. people). By defining two lines, the counter heuristics can count the incoming (green line) and outgoing (red line) objects.
The quality of the Counter heuristic depends heavily on the accurancy of the chosen algorithm (Differential, Background subtraction, etc). Therefore we recommend to use the Background Subtraction algorithm as this is the most accurate one; the algorithm is used for segmentation and it will distinguish background and foreground.
After the algorithm did its magic, the segmented image is used by the Counter heuristic to calculate some features: the center of mass is calculated for each foreground segment, and is stored in memory together with the height and width of the segment. By using the coordinates of the center of mass a trajectory is calculated.
$$ \texttt{mu} _{ji}= \sum _{x,y} \left ( \texttt{array} (x,y) \cdot (x - \bar{x} )^j \cdot (y - \bar{y} )^i \right ) $$
$$ \bar{x} = \frac{\texttt{m}_{10}}{\texttt{m}_{00}} , ; \bar{y} = \frac{\texttt{m}_{01}}{\texttt{m}_{00}} $$
While the capture device is taking images, the counter heuristic will calculate the features (as mentioned before) for every subsequent frame. When calculated the heuristic will search for the best match: the closest, in terms of distance, center of mass is searched from the previous calculation. When the best match is found the center of mass (with its features) is added to the feature list of the best match; or if not found, a new feature list is created.
The idea of the feature list is that it contains the trajectory of an object which is moving from one point to another (a person walking by). A feature list exists for every moving object in the viewport of the camera and each feature list contains the sequence of center of masses (the x- and y-coordinates of the object).
After the center of masses are calculated, existing feature lists are expanded or new feature lists are created (the start of a new object). By using the feature lists, the direction of the moving objects can be calculated, as it contains the initial center of mass and the last found center of mass.
As we know the trajectory of an object (and thus its direction), the intersection is calculated with the incoming (green line) and outgoing (red line). If the trajectory intersects both incoming and outgoing lines, the direction of the trajectory is used to determine which line was interesected first (and this is an incoming or outgoing object).
The parameters of the Counter heuristic can be found in the config/heuristic.xml file, but you can also use the web to modify the parameters. Below you see a default configuration file.
<appearance type="number">5</appearance>
<maxDistance type="number">90</maxDistance>
<minArea type="number">1400</minArea>
<onlyTrueWhenCounted type="bool">true</onlyTrueWhenCounted>
<minimumChanges type="number">20</minimumChanges>
<noMotionDelayTime type="number">1000</noMotionDelayTime>
<markers type="twolines">100,100|100,200|200,100|200,200</markers>
The appearance parameters works as a time-out value. If a feature lists hasn't been updated for x (appearance) times in a row, it's removed. The idea is that when an object has moved outside the viewport of the camera, it can't be tracked anymore.
Max Distance
While calculating the center of masses, the best match is searched for each one. As the best match is calculated in function of the distance, a maximum distance is used to limit the matching process.
Min Area
The center of mass is calculated for each segment which has an area which is larger than the minimum area.
Only true when counted
By default the heuristic will only return true when one or more objects are marked as incoming or outgoing. However by unchecking this option you can make the heuristic return true when something changed (same behaviour as the sequence heuristic). The idea is that one wants to track the incoming and outgoing objects, but also want to have images for every change.
Minimum changes
The heuristic will only procede true if enough changes have been detected.
No motion delay time
When the heuristic is not valid, the heuristic will idle for some time.
The start- and en-coordinates of both the incoming and outgoing lines (delimited by the pipe symbol).
The whole point of the counter heuristic is counting objects. Therefore when one or more incoming or outgoing objects are detected the results are added to the JSON object which is passed along the four passway. The JSON object can be retrieved by using the Webhook IO device.

Naturally, the weather decided Saturday was the day to rain and rain and rain and rain. We didn't let that put us off, but it certainly made for a cold, wet day and I suspect prevented a lot of the arena type activities from going ahead. We did see a couple of guys in orc masks and a bit of posturing, but full on skirmishes in torrential rain are never a good idea. Not only would it be uncomfortable, it would be dangerous due to it being very slippery under foot.
Sarehole Mill is in Birminghan, so about 40 minutes away in the car. We found the place without too much trouble, parking in the expected field before walking back to the venue.
Once inside the first marquee, we briefly looked at 'The Mirk Wood' which M didn't like very much, even when we explained the spiders webs were Hallowe'en props. After that, we sheltered under umbrellas as we looked around.
We found a falconer sheltering under a couple of gazebos, accompanied by a young Harris Hawk. The hawk didn't like the rain and was flying within the confines of the gazebo. There were a few owls in his van, but there they stayed only coming out briefly toward the end of the day when the weather let up a little. Owls do not fly in rain.
|M with a Harris Hawk.
The wood carving tent went down well, where M voted for a cat in this year's competition. We looked at the other pieces on display, with a whale proving to be M's favourite. She told its creator so at length, telling him he should make more pieces just like it. The woodcarver turned the whale around, suggesting it could also be an elephant, but M gave him a hard stare. He eventually conceded it was better as a whale.
|A wooden whale.
|Morris Dancers.
But not this man, who shouted a lot. As part of his patter he approached M with a bag of lollies, at which point she carefully stepped behind me! I declined the offered sweets politely so he moved on, finding lots of other takers for his lollies.
|The shouty man.
M talked to several of the traders about their wares. In one case and to our complete surprise, one stall holder suddenly gifted M with a nightlight. The lady in question was very taken with M who had charmed her with her observations, admiration and general friendliness. She asked M which was her favourite piece on the stall (an Alice In Wonderland nightlight), then gave it to her!
The event closed at 5pm and we headed for the car at about 4:30pm, all of us tired and cold. We did stop off at the shops and Hobbycraft on the way home, but ran out of time so decided to go back on Sunday. I had spotted that Hobbycraft had a sale on, with a lot of art supplies at half price!
Not a bad way to spend a rainy September day.

Even other goblins admire your talent for mindless destruction.
Prerequisite: Goblin, sneak attack class feature.
Benefit: You treat unattended objects as if they were vulnerable to your sneak attack, but you only deal half as much damage as you would against an actual creature.
For instance, if you rolled 12 extra damage from the sneak attack you would deal an extra 6 damage to the object. This only applies when attacking unattended objects.

A family holiday in a caravan brings back wonderful memories for many people across the UK. Long walks in fresh air before curling up together in the warmth. Chatting late into the night. Caravan holidays are the perfect way to bring everyone together, whatever their ages. They need not be as cramped as you think. They are able to stay relatively small in size because of the creative ways they use space and storage. Whether you have toddlers, teenagers, or something in between, everybody can have a great time. These are the memories that will last a lifetime.
- Shop for the Essentials Before You Go
There's nothing worse than arriving somewhere after a long drive and not being able to make yourself a tea or coffee. Have some essentials with you when you arrive so that you will feel instantly at home. A warm drink or a cool can will perk everyone up and settle them in. Bread, butter and cheese are also great staplers if anyone is peckish and grumpy! Shopping for essentials before you arrive may seem like extra luggage in the car, but it can be a lifesaver. If you're in an unfamiliar region, trying to find a supermarket after travelling can be a nightmare. The children won't feel like turning out again and neither will you, most likely. Save the big shop for another day when you can make the most of it. Shopping for meals, treats and goodies can be fun as long as you're well rested.
2) Make the Best Use of Space
Caravans may look small on the outside but they are usually surprisingly spacious on the inside. Each room and cabinet is carefully designed to make the best use of the space. But there are still some things you can do to help things go smoothly. Encourage everyone to clean up as they go, putting things away as soon as they've finished using them. This may be your policy at home anyway but it is even more important in a caravan! Caravan air awnings are also a good choice if you could really use some extra space. They still provide you with some shelter and warmth but mean you can be outside in the fresh air at the same time. They're a great way to add some additional space without breaking the bank or paying for a larger model.
3) Get Out More
If you've chosen a caravan holiday, chances are that you're hoping to experience the great outdoors! This is a great way to for the whole family to pull together as a team. All ages can get fresh air, exercise, and be easier to manage in a small space as a result. Be sure to research good walks in the area you're staying. There are usually routes for all different levels if you have little ones or elderly family members. Take a picnic with you to make a great day of it. Stretch your legs and have fun before returning to your cosy cubby-hole.

Christian Malcolm not among 33 athletes selected for Wales at Commonwealth Games in Glasgow
A 33-strong Wales team has been selected for the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games where Dai Greene will look to return to his winning ways and defend his 400m hurdles title.
The 2011 world champion hasn't competed since the IAAF World Championships in Moscow last August where he failed to make the final, having struggled with illness and injury. His season's best came when winning the British title in July with a 48.66 clocking.
He will be joined at the Games by fellow hurdler Rhys Williams, who claimed bronze behind Greene in Delhi in 2010 and ran a season's best of 50.00 to win the Welsh Championships last weekend.
The team, which combines a mix of more experienced athletes with those competing at their first major championship, has been set a target of four medals by Sport Wales.
Among those hoping to help the team meet that target is world and Paralympic discus champion Aled Davies who recently threw 48.69m in Italy to break a 12-year-old world F42 record. He is joined by the likes of fellow throws athletes Lee Doran, Brett Morse and Ryan Spencer-Jones.
Back on the track and Hannah Brier has had her spot on the 4x100m squad confirmed, the 16-year-old sprinter having recently broken Sallyanne Short's 30-year-old Welsh under-17 100m record with an 11.57 clocking. Also on the sprint relay squad are fellow Commonwealth Games debutantes Rachel Johncock, Mica Moore, Hannah Thomas and Lucy Evans, with Brier, Thomas, Moore and Johncock having set a Welsh record of 45.17 at the recent Loughborough International.
Brier is the youngest member of the Welsh team and will travel to Glasgow along with the likes of Chris Gowell in the 1500m, Dewi Griffiths in the 10,000m and Sally Peake in the pole vault.
There was disappointment, though, for Christian Malcolm. The sprinter had been hoping to compete in his fifth Commonwealth Games but struggling for form due to injury he failed to make the 200m final at the Welsh Championships and has been overlooked.
"I have been stunned by the response of the Welsh athletes to the impending Commonwealth Games in Glasgow – their performance levels over recent weeks have sky-rocketed," said national performance coach Scott Simpson.
"We have selected one of the largest-ever athletics contingents – something that truly reflects the strength and depth of the sport in Wales at this point in time. My congratulations go out to all those athletes, and their coaches, who have worked so hard over the last four years to achieve this selection."
The Commonwealth Games take place from July 23 – August 3, with athletics action getting under way on July 27.
