The leading ip video and solution provider. Chinese
With the strong support of national policy , safe city , safe communities and other projects to further promote the country , national security concept has been basically formed. This is the rapid expansion of domestic security market has laid a solid foundation , home surveillance camera market demand and many more IP camera based, so can realize remote monitoring. In addition to outside with a certain mass basis , 3G networks emerge , but also the development of the home market for the security provided some technical support. However, due to market reasons , home security industry tepid , industry development of the four points of concern.
Tepid industry status quo
Our smart home market from 2012 national demands, Guangdong , Shenzhen, southern China mainly accounted for 61% of total demand , followed by Shanghai in east China , led by 16% , led by Beijing North China accounted for 10% to Chongqing in central China , led by 9% in other regions account for about 2% . Visible , the current smart home market is mainly concentrated in the coastal and economically more developed first-tier cities. I believe that the smart home will inevitably require a certain economic base to support its development , but in recent years China ´s rapid economic development, people ´s pursuit of quality home a substantial increase , at the same time , security awareness was further strengthened , the market potential greatly.
In addition , in recent years , and network appliance industry giants have the water tested smart home market, which shows that we are optimistic about the market outlook . However, from a practical point of view , China´s smart home market has been tepid , which does not meet a lot of companies to join the industry ´s expectations , then this "touch stones" of market exploration period is also exactly how long ? The author estimated five years since China´s civil security market will certainly lead to the outbreak of the smart home market hot, this is worth looking forward to , Apexis will continue its efforts to provide customers with better products and services.
Home security industry, the development of four points of concern
Concerns one : Who says home security is not HD ?
For a long period of time, the need for high-definition home security debates have become the focus of many people . Just for that security surveillance camera into the family of the era, it seems the demand for high-definition direct climb a lot to look at some dazzling. After all, for a few people who just started beginning to recognize the concept of civilian control , the monitoring system cost as well as high-definition monitor higher cost price really a lot of users on Chen Mu men can answer . Just repairing a video surveillance camera have become a new thing , it ´s high -definition consumer is clearly difficult to accept . Moreover, what is even more not to mention more practiced .
However, with the home HD has gradually opened up a field of its own , these traditional concepts are quietly undergoing a change .
Today, a dedicated home security camera has matured , and in function , combined with the characteristics of the family environment is no longer will monitor many devices as their only job . Ever since, alarm , detection has become home security devices guest. Of course, the non-uniqueness of the monitoring application does not mean the absence of monitoring requirements , contrary to monitor this demand -based alarm monitoring in a stronger position on the basis of demand . Therefore, the definition of work ability naturally become the basis for accurate warning .
In addition, with the growing home monitoring devices feature rich case detected from everyday communication , home monitoring have become an increasingly integral part of the carrier. Thus, the role of home monitoring is not limited to "see criminal behavior" needs, and is destined to become a high-definition inevitable .
Two concerns : the mobile Internet becomes the new demands
This year, the competition in the mobile phone industry can be said that our mobile communications technology to bring a new peak. Ever since, from the smart home to the burglar alarm , or is video surveillance , if not with the mobile terminal echoes , it seems that all seem to lag behind the trend .
In fact, anti-theft devices for the home , the mobile technology have become a very interesting spectacle. From the beginning we mentioned sim card vehicle location, and then some home phone alarm warning device . Too many features have been bound to a cell phone, which also reflects today´s combined home security from simple anti- theft initiative with the Royal gradually toward a trend . In the evolution of this trend , the mobile phone has become a very important part .
Of course , for the current alarm for mobile terminals , although popularity is not too low . But always in use have a variety of grind . All kinds of gimmicks charges, various destabilizing factors also a test of the user´s patience. In my opinion, the phone features of interlinked home security has become the mainstream trend . As for the behavior of these charges , although how much we produce today would be " awkward " feeling. But with home security functions to carry out in-depth and , I am afraid that such costs will come to an end sooner or later .
Concerns III: hidden elements into home
In addition to performance , the device also features the appearance of more and more applications are more valued by users . As families continue to come out special security equipment , we look for home security features are also made more demands , family environment, the degree of integration has become valued by many users .
In fact, the degree of integration comes home environment , I believe that mainly includes the following two points : the hidden nature of the device as well as the coordination of the surrounding environment .
With the professional upgrading , security equipment is also increasingly large shape . And how to treat their possession of a " deeper " is also related to the actual performance of the device to work . This is also an increasingly large equipment for families with limited environment, how to find a better shelter shape an important issue , only to solve the problems hidden in order to allow the device to play a greater level of effect .
In addition, the environment is a coordinated design. Today , we love nest after the renovation has been more inclined to all facilities in a coordinated family placement . For home security monitoring equipment such a need to " see clearly " have to " hide " device , it really is not a small knowledge. In my opinion , house surveillance camera equipment and control diverse morphology , structure and shape of the compact will become the next major attraction. Of course, with everyone as well as for the pursuit of personalized family pattern of diversification, future devices may also customized home applications will become the first heavy philosophy.
Concerns four : Stability similarly valued
In our previous evaluation process, sometimes there will be such a situation : When we repeated the evaluation device after the trial . Some devices because of the frequent use of some control failures and other instability. Although it can be used in many cases only case to describe, but it also reflects a certain extent, some household equipment in the process and the lack of quality.

Kuala Lumpur to Bangkok
* Train possible (1 day, 1 night) but transfer required at either George Town (Malaysia) or Hat Yai (Bangkok). See Malaysian railways and the Thai railways timetables for details.
Malaysian Railway Schedules http://www.ktmb.com.my
Thailand Railway Schedules
KTM's intercity trains arrive at the new KL Sentral railway station, located (despite the name) a fair distance to the south of the city center. Take the Putra LRT or KL Monorail to the city center, or RM10 coupon taxi to most destinations in the city center. Most services are available at the station, including showers (RM5 for shower only, RM15 if you want a towel & toiletries too).
* Buses also available, even direct, although it's a long haul Kuala Lumpur has several bus terminals (Malay: stesen bas or hentian) which handle long distance express bus services; many destinations are served by more than one terminal.
The biggest (and invariably most crowded) terminal, located in the city centre near Chinatown. Beware of pickpockets, ticket touts and other undesirables, especially late at night.
Access: Plaza Rakyat station (Ampang and Sri Petaling Lines) is within walking distance; many local bus stops nearby.
To/from Hat Yai, in Thailand:
* Konsortium Bas Ekspres Semenanjung (KBES) (Counter 73. Tel: +60-3-20313036) has departures at 10:30 & 23:00 - RM45 one-way.
* Possible detours: Penang, Ipoh, Phuket, Ko Samui
Bangkok to Siem Reap
Time: Anything from 9 to 14 hours, depending on season
* Starts with a 4-5 hour bus ride from Bangkok to Aranyaprathet (ĹAranĺ), the town on the Thai side near the border. Both public buses and buses operated by private tour operators are availiable; tickets can be bought from nearly any travel agent in Bangkok, and on any of Bangkok's four bus terminals, make sure you get the right terminal for your bus. Public buses are the cheapest option, and are of reasonable standard.
* From Aranyaprathet, get a tuk-tuk the last 6 km to the border crossing. Be aware of the touts approaching you on the border; ignore them as they will expect a whapping tip at the other end for not really helping you much at all. Beware of scams; the border police sometimes tries to make an extra buck on various fees and fines they more or less make up on the spot. You do not need to pay a fine for not bringing your yellow fever certificate. You should only have to pay the visa fee with the price stamped in your passport, although in reality you'll probably have to pay at least 1000 baht.
* From Poipet on the Cambodian side, itĺs a further 3-6 hour bus or taxi to Siem Reap, in the dry season; in the rainy season the trip may sometimes take as much as 9-10 hours as the road gets flooded. You may get a bus or hire a taxi, it may be a good idea to share one if you come across fellow travellers. Approach drivers directly and agree on a price to Siem Reap. Bear in mind that Northern Cambodia is still one of the most heavily mined areas in the world; if you need to take a leak, you are well advised to choose safety before dignity and do what you need on the road itself.
* Particularly the Poipet to Siem Reap leg can be an exhausting journey, but it's also a fantastic experience, and you should be completely safe.
Things to do at Siem Reap
* Visit the Angkor Wat. Depending on your level of interest, you should spend between one and three days sightseeing the Angkor Wat. Be aware that due to the size of it all, it is not really possible to see all of it in one, or even two days.
* See the separate Siem Reap page for tips on restaurants and bars.You may notice how many of the restaurants have similar names, only differentiated by number 1, 2, 3 etc. This is due to the fact that when a particular named restaurant receives positive mention in any major guide book, surrounding restaurants will change their name to the same. Restaurant "No #1" of any particular name is not necessarily the one that received positive mention; food is generally good and cheap however, just be vigilant and ask to see the menu first.
* Get the speed boat across the Tonle Sap to Phnom Penh. Tonle Sap is one of the biggest freshwater lakes in the world. Beware of the slow boats trafficking the lake, as they are both slow and unsafe.
Siem Reap to Phnom Penh
Time: 4-9 hours
You have two options; road or boat. Which is more comfortable depends on the state of the road; when good, buses are excellent and fast, and boats deteriorate from lack of custom; when bad, boats become the preferred option. The road is steadily gaining the upper hand in terms of convenience, but taking the boat gives you the opportunity to travel across Southeast Asia's largest inland lake, the Tonle Sap, and see the people living around and (literally) on the lake.
* Boat: A daily catamaran service from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh may be in operation, depending on the season and the state of the road. Older diesel boats limp across the Tonle Sap the rest of the time. These boats' safety record is rather patchy, and in dry season they may not be able to pass beneath Kampong Chhnang at the foot of the lake (in which case you'll end up on another bus) -- but you won't see the Tonle Sap another way. Most hotels can sell you tickets and it will include minibus transfer from your hotel to the port of departure (90 mins). The price for anyone with a white face is a whopping US$25+.
* Bus/taxi: The road from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh has been recently resurfaced; in March 2007 modern a/c coaches did the trip in 4 hours with lunch included. As with any road in Cambodia, however, maintenance is patchy and the situation can deteriorate after only a few seasons. Check with your hotel or a travel agency in Siem Reap for up-to-date information.
Things to do at Phnom Penh
* The first thing you should do is to hire a moto driver! It looks crazy, but it really is the only way to get around. Be prepared to pay around US$5 for a moto driver for the entire day.
* Visit the Tuol Sleng museum, also known as S-21. Saloth Sar (better known as Pol Pot) used to be a teacher at this former high school. As Pot grasped power in 1975, he turned the school into an "interrogation centre". Several thousand people were interrogated and killed here. Only a very few left Tuol Sleng alive. Upon entrance to the Tuol Sleng museum, you will be approached by guides who will tour the grounds with you for a US$3-5 fee.
* The Choeung Ek museum gives another chilling account of the atrocities of the Khmer Rouge. Located just outside the city centre, you can still find human remains if you dig with your shoe just beneath the ground surface. Get your moto driver to take you there.
* Make sure to pay a visit to the Foreign Correspondent's Club, the legendary FCC, overlooking the river and central Phnom Penh. This place serves the best burgers in Phnom Penh, and they have regular happy-hour deals on Gin & Tonics. Burgers and drinks are priced accordingly, but still comparatively cheap (around US$3 for your GT) Perhaps one of the few places in Asia where full colonial gear (black boots/white uniform) still today wouldn't feel out of place.
Phnom Penh to Ho Chi Minh City
Time: 6-8 hours
* The best option is to buy a tour with a travel agency in Phnom Penh, as a public bus will only get you to the Vietnam border, which is a no man's land. Organized trips will bus you to the border where you cross on foot, before another bus picks you up on the other side for the 3-4 hour drive in to Ho Chi Minh City.
* Alternatively, tour operators in Phnom Penh organize boats down the Mekong to the border near Chau Doc. Again, you cross on foot and transfer to a Vietnamese boat waiting on the other side. Speedboats (US$15ľ20) operate direct from Phnom Penh whilst for the slower boats (US$6ľ8) a minibus takes you to landings downstream of the ferry across the Mekong on Highway 1. From Chau Doc regular buses make the connection to Ho Chi Minh City.
Things to do in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon)
* Use one of the many travel cafÚs to organize your excursions, found on the main backpacker street in District 1, the Ph?m Ngu LŃo. The quality of these trips are generally good, and the prices are low. The Sinh Cafe organize trips both to Mui Ne, the Mekong Delta and Cu Chin tunnels at reasonable prices, but there are a multitude of offers and options, and competition is fierce.
* You should spend some time to see the architectural highlights of central Ho Chi Minh City, many of which were built by the French. The Opera, the Central Post Office and the almost perfect miniature replica of the Notre Dame church is all worth a visit.
* Ho Chi Minh City has a vibrant nightlife. However, to combat a rising drug use problem, the authorities have imposed a midnight curfew for all clubs and bars. This is not to say that you can't party till early morning - you simply have to find out which clubs run an afterhour on the particular night. Apocalypse Now! is a usual suspect (yes, it's the name of a club). Don't worry, the police quietly condones afterhour parties as they know it is needed to attract tourists, and although drinking after hours is illegal, it is very widespread.
* The Vietnam War museum is a must-see, particularly if you're into browsing some captured old American military hardware. The museum has a large collection of captured tanks, helicopters, bombs and planes. Formerly known as the American War Atrocities Museum, the name was changed after normalization of US-Vietnamese relations in the 1990's.
* The Co Chin tunnels just outside town offers an exciting glimpse into the secret tactics of the Viet Cong during the war.
* A trip to the Mekong Delta is absolutely worthwhile, and a 3-day trip including hotel, guide, transportation and food is usually around US$15!
* The Mui Ne resort town is a good choice for some beach life if you don't want to travel too far from the city. There is a public bus to Mui Ne every day, or you can simply hire a driver.
* Reunification Hall, 106 Nguyen Du St. Formerly South Vietnam's Presidential Palace, this is a restored five-floor time warp to the Sixties left largely
Untouched from the day before Saigon fell to the North. On April 30, 1975, the war ended when tank 843, now parked outside, crashed through the gate. You can also visit the war rooms in the basement and view a propaganda film recounting how the South Vietnamese lackeys and American imperialists succumbed to Ho Chi Minh's indomitable revolutionary forces. Entry 15,000 dong; open daily 0730-1130, 1300-1600.
* War Remnants Museum, 28 Vo Van Tan St. Formerly known as the Exhibition House of American War Crimes, this is a disturbing exhibit of man's cruelty during the Vietnam War. In addition to halls full of gruesome photographs, exhibits include a real guillotine, a simulated "tiger cage" prison and jars of deformed fetuses blamed on Agent Orange. The museum, currently a rather confused assemblage of warehouses, will shortly be moved to new purpose-built premises under construction next door; however, the comic relief provided by a display on the evils of American rock music has sadly disappeared. Entry 10,000 dong; open daily 0730-1145, 1330-1730.
Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) to Hanoi
* Trains arrive at the main Hanoi train station (Ga Hang Co, 120 Le Duan, tel: 825 3949) daily from cities in the south including Hue and Nha Trang. The Reunification Express goes all the way to Ho Chi Minh City, although there is very little 'express' about it.
There are train services to the north-west (including Lao Cai, from which you reach Sapa - the onward route to Kunming in China is no longer open). To board trains bound for these destinations, you have to enter the railway station compound through the "backdoor" at Tran Quy Cap station. Just tell your driver which destination your train is heading to.
Be mindful of any "helpful" stranger who offers to carry your luggage Ś he probably has a sum more than the cost of the ticket in mind for the help. However, tickets for all destinations are sold in the main station, though there are two counter halls, north and south, serving the respective destinations.
Buy your tickets as early as possible, since especially sleeper-tickets can be sold out several days in advance. If you can't get a ticket anymore, try a travel-agent who still might have stocks. You may also try your luck in the station just before boarding time, agents still holding tickets will be eager to sell as the departure draws near.
* By bus. Most of the "open-tour" bus itineraries either begin or end in Hanoi, with Hue the next (or previous) stop (12-14 hours, US$8-9), and from there to Hoi An, Nha Trang, Dalat, Mui Ne, Ho Chi Minh City, and other cities in Vietnam, depending on the bus company.
Hanoi to Nanning
* Direct train service not available as line to Kunming is still disrupted by landslides. As an alternative, train buffs can travel to Dong Dang, cross the border and continue from Pingxiang.
* There is also direct bus to Nanning from Kim Lien Hotel in Hanoi.
Nanning or Guilin to Shanghai
* Direct train services are available from Nanning to Shanghai. Many would probably visit Guilin, which is a few hours from Nanning along the rail line towards Shanghai. Before Shanghai, the city Hangzhou is probably worth a visit.
Shanghai to Beijing
* Direct train services are available. Power sockets on Z series trains.

We have recently joined with a number of fellow bus companies and Nottingham City Council to sign a Statutory Quality Partnership Scheme (SQPS for short).
Nottingham's bus operators attend the launch of the SQPS
The scheme is great news for bus passengers in the city, as it will help to improve quality to all bus users in terms of vehicle comfort, ease of access, carbon emissions, driver training and more. It's something we very much believe in, given our passion for customer service or our continual willingness to invest in improved buses and develop our quality standards further and further.
And it is only a good thing if other bus operators and the council sign up to commit to this agreement, ensuring that this kind of quality spreads across the board in Nottingham.
Our Commercial Director, Alex Hornby was present at the launch of the scheme and commented...
"We're very pleased to join our colleagues from other bus companies, officers and members of Nottingham City Council, to celebrate the beginning of the UK's first SQPS of its kind," he said. "Whilst we and our predecessors have served Nottingham for over 100 years, trent barton remain committed to offering the highest of standards in terms of comfort, cleanliness and service to our customers now and in the future. We congratulate Nottingham City Council for creating this agreement and applaud our fellow operators for maintaining a high degree of quality to bus users across the city."
And whilst we're proud that we meet the relevant standards of the SQPS already, that doesn't mean we'll rest on our laurels. With many millions committed for more investment in the next few years, our customers in Nottingham and beyond will hopefully agree with our sentiments!
Nottingham City Council is one of the most proactive public transport authorities in the country. They have committed to an impressive level of investment in terms of modern, clean shelters, electronic information displays, raised kerbs to improve access on to buses for buggies and wheelchair users and more. Our very own centrelink free bus - which features trent barton's driver of the year Rhamzan Mohammed - is ran in partnership with the city council and forms part of their commitment. So, we're very pleased to work alongside them to drive standards further. They want to ensure their investment is protected and that all bus companies provide equally high standards too.
And that is a good thing for all public transport users across Nottingham and beyond.

When looking at a thread painting, you may at first think that you are looking at an actual painting! The aim of thread painting is to create shading effects. This can create a very realistic image. When stitching in this method, you mainly use short and long stitches and stitch in rows to create the softest shading.
We just ordered a few copies of the book A-Z of Thread Painting, edited by Sue Gardner. It is full of information and projects that demonstrate this fun type of needlework. One of the projects that I was particularly impressed by would also be good for someone looking to try out thread painting on a smaller scale. This is the Pear, by Susan O'Conner of Victoria. This project can be completed with stranded cotton on fabric. The only stitches you use are a split stitch, long and short stitch, and back stitch. This book is really great because it gives detailed lists of all the threads and materials you will need and gives step by step instructions, including pictures for each step! I think it would be a great way to get acquainted with thread painting.
Another project that would be great for beginners is this kit, called "The Red Poll." Mary Corbett, of Needle 'n Thread did this piece as an introduction to the style, and I think it came out splendidly! The kit is by designer Tanja Berlin, and as Mary mentioned in a blog about the project, the kit includes thread, fabric, needles, instructions and a color photo of the piece to use as a reference! This piece is really sweet, and it looks like it would be a lot of fun to stitch! Think about being able to accurately represent bird feathers!
In the most recent and final issue of Fiber Arts magazine, there was a great article written by Jamie Chalmers of MrXStitch. Fiber Arts magazine is all about Contemporary Textile Arts and Crafts. The article featured an artist named Cayce Zavaglia. I found her work really inspiring, not just because I love portraiture! This piece, called Carol is hand embroidered using Crewel wool and Acrylic on linen. It is 14 x 38! Check out the detail for an up close image of the stitches. Just amazing! Like the Scarlet Quince piece I featured in our cross-stitch blog, I find that this type of needlework, rather than being intimidating, is more exciting because it is a challenge. When you finish it, you have the satisfaction of knowing you finished something really detailed and also conquered the form! Cayce says in her artist statement "I still consider myself a painter and find it difficult not to refer to these embroidered portraits as 'paintings.' Although the medium employed is crewel embroidery wool, the technique borrows more from the worlds of drawing and painting...Using Wool instead of oils has allowed me to broaden the dialogue between portrait and process as well as propose a new definiteion for the word 'painting'." I think it is interesting when artists look at their art form and other art forms and find a way to combine them to create something new. It will be interesting to see what else Cayce stitches in the future! And, for those of you who have been overwhelmed with a project before, look at this rug, seen in the book Needlepainting A Garden of Stitches by Eszter Haraszty. Amazing! This book was published in 1974 and shows this woman's house and all of the floral inspired thread painted pieces she completed. This piece in particular was quite awe-inspiring, partially because of its size! When looking at it and thinking about all of the small stitches she did, it's definitely a feat worthy of admiration!

Grateful for support
To the Editor:
We want to send out a huge thank you to the Martin County commissioners for their support and approval of the turning and bypass lanes for the safety of everyone on County Road 26 entering the Flying Goose Campground.
During this process, Kevin Peyman and the Martin County Highway Department aided with the management of traffic flow throughout the construction period, keeping the highway open for business in spite of construction difficulties. We appreciate all the efforts in keeping our business open during this process.

Backing Hagedorn
To the Editor:
First District House candidate Jim Hagedorn was born and raised on a farm in the district in the Truman area. Jim has maintained a residence in our district for most of his life. He has a legitimate interest in representing the First Congressional District as one of us.
On the other hand, Democratic candidate for the First District seat, Dan Feehan, has never lived in the district. That is until recently this year.
Current holder of the seat, Tim Walz, announced in January that he would vacate the seat in order to run for Minnesota governor. Immediately, the Democratic National Committee tapped Dan Feehan and told him to move to Mankato and establish residency in the First District. The DNC then told Mr. Feehan that they would sponsor, support and fund his campaign in order to maintain the First District seat for the Democratic Party.
I have yet to see Mr. Feehan campaign in the First District, nor have I met him or shaken his hand. I have seen Jim Hagedorn in action at many meetings, parades and other events. I have seen Jim Hagedorn not only shake hundreds of hands, but more like thousands of hands. I have seen Jim stop and talk to many First District residents and discuss their personal issues.
Jim Hagedorn is running for a seat in Congress, primarily to serve the residents of the First District. Jim Hagedorn has worked in Washington, D.C., at the Treasury Department. I find Jim Hagedorn's experience in D.C. as a positive asset as he knows his way around that huge political landscape. Jim will be able to hit the ground running in January because of his experience.
Dan Feehan is an artificial transplant to the First District to exclusively serve the power of the Democratic Party.
There is no doubt in my mind that Jim Hagedorn will be the right fit to represent the First Congressional District for the next two years after the upcoming election. He has my vote.

Self-taught designer Anne Thomas began to gain recognition for her creative ceramic jewellery in 2005. Based in Lyon, Anne won first prize of The Week of Young Designers competiton, organized by Le Printemps. The adventure really began with the success of her corner in the department store.
In 2010 she enrolled at a contemporary jewellery school in Florence, Italy, which permitted her to introduce a new jewellery collection of art deco and geometry inspired trends, which consisted of hand-applied colourful velvet on fine gold plated brass. Entirely made in France, this new line of jewellery met with great success and was swiftly followed by a lacquer range.
In 2013, Anne Thomas followed her desire to experiment with a new accessory: feminine footwear, her other guilty pleasure. As lover of flats, it seemed natural for the designer to create a line of masculine feminine classics, inspired by the British style and revisited with a Parisian twist. The first collections met its French public, and even more other countries – USA and Asia – where the French design, the quality of the materials and fabrication are particularly sought after. Today the range has stretched out to pumps and boots with small and medium heels, combining classic and avant-garde.
The year 2017 marks a big change with the opening of two first shops in Paris and Lyon, where a large range of Anne Thomas' creations, as well as a selection of international designers are available.

Mayor Bloomberg and Columbia University President Bollinger Announce Agreement to Create New Data Science Institute.
City Will Assist Columbia's Plan to Create a World-Class Center for Data Sciences and Engineering, Including Investment in New Laboratory Space for Expansion of Number of Top Faculty and Doctoral Students
Partnership Is the Newest Step in the City's Applied Sciences NYC Initiative; Expected to Generate Nearly $4 Billion in Overall Economic Impact and More Than 4,500 Jobs over the Next Three Decades
Total Impact of Three Applied Sciences Projects is More Than $33 Billion, Over 48,000 Jobs, Nearly 1,000 Spin-Off Companies Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and Columbia University President Lee C. Bollinger today announced an agreement between the City of New York and Columbia University that will lead to the creation of a new Data Science Institute, to be located at Columbia's Morningside Heights and Washington Heights campuses in New York City, and the hiring of dozens of new faculty within the university's Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. The announcement is the next milestone in the City's groundbreaking Applied Sciences NYC initiative, which seeks to dramatically increase New York City's capacity for applied sciences and engineering while strengthening and transforming the City's economy for generations. As part of the agreement, the City will provide $15 million in critical financial assistance to Columbia -- which includes discounted energy transmission costs and partial debt forgiveness -- as well as valuable lease flexibility leading to the development of the Institute. The agreement includes the creation of 44,000 square feet of new applied science and engineering space on Columbia's campus by 2016 and the addition of 75 new faculty over the next decade and a half. The focus of the new institute will be on advances in the data sciences, attracting high-caliber faculty in specific fields of study, and expanding Columbia's research capabilities and funding, and building upon the school's recent successes in engineering. In addition, the institute will enhance the level of training available to the city's next wave of talented engineers and generate nearly $4 billion of economic growth across the five boroughs over the next three decades, bringing the total economic impact of the City's three Applied Sciences NYC projects to more than $33 billion over the same period. The Mayor and President Bollinger were joined at the announcement, which took place at Columbia's new Northwest Corner Building in Morningside Heights, by Deputy Mayor Robert K. Steel, New York City Economic Development Corporation President Seth W. Pinsky, Interim Dean of Columbia's School of Engineering and Applied Sciences Donald Goldfarb, Columbia Computer Science professor and inaugural Director of the Data Science Institute, Kathy McKeown, the Institute's Deputy Director, professor of Civil Engineering and Engineering Mechanics Patricia Culligan, as well as State Assembly Member Guillermo Linares, Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer, City Council Member Gale Brewer and City Council Member Robert Jackson.

One of the reasons for why I'm going ever so slightly apeshit with this topic at this very point in time, is that there's a whole lot of ruckus concerning dairy and plant-based alternatives in Sweden right now. It was initiated because a company that produces oat milk, yoghurt, cream, etc. started with two new slogans:
Personally, I find it to be a really witty and true statement (again: cow's milk is for calves!). The Swedish milk industry, however, did not find it to be so amusing. According to them, this is 'misleading marketing'. Haha! As if their strategies are accurate and not misleading? Here's how the industry is portrayed:
Here's how the industry actually looks:
This is highly practical: food in, food out, milk in the middle. More than half of all milk cows in Sweden get inflammations every year from all the milking (yeah, that pus goes into the product – good thing it's pasteurized before it hits the shelves). About 3/4 have hoof complications due to what they're fed and the way they have to live. Many cows get a certain kind of paralysis because the calcium that they need for proper muscle functioning is going into the milk, which is constantly produced since they're constantly having babies.
Anyway, due to the law suit of Oatly, there are now articles in most big newspapers that not only comment on the charges from Arla and Svensk Mjolk, but that also brings up anecdotes on milk consumption in the past, and facts/comparisons of the nutritional contents of different kinds of milk(drinks). I find it really interesting, so here's a recap of a recent article from a pretty serious newspaper.
The title, loosely translated, says that 'milk's position is threatened', a statement based on statistics which reveal that during the past year only, the sales of non-dairy milk drinks has increased by 25%. It really surprised me. In addition, in one of my previous posts on this topic, I speculated about the reasons for why certain populations may have developed the mutation that allows them to digest lactose, and thought it might be because milk consumption, in the past, was in fact (at least sort of) necessary/beneficial to survival. I was thinking along the lines of there being no supermarkets, living off the land — you catch my drift.
However, in the article (and this concerns Sweden), it says that during the first half of the 19th century, drinking milk wasn't considered to be economic: only little children and sick people drank it. Milk was for making cheese and butter for the cold winter months (and, those products are usually better tolerated by those who are lactose intolerant). It wasn't until the second half of the 19th century, when industries started to bloom, that the "milk revolution" really started to gather momentum. Milk was found to be a superior drink compared to the alternatives, which consisted of beer, other malts, and hard liquor. It made the army stronger, and it caused people to be more likely to meet current nutritional recommendations.
1 – Of course it's healthier than booze when we're talking about something you'd drink every day (probably several times a day).
2 – Of course the military will fight better sober, and of course (presuming that they're very active) they would benefit from a drink that contained energy and nutrients.
3 – Yeah. We're talking about the 1800's here. This is pure speculation but yes, I do believe that times were harder and that getting enough food may have been more of a problem than it is now. Thus, along the same lines of the military argument, a drink with energy and nutrients would be a good supplement. And, they didn't produce any other equivalent drinks at that time (I think).
Now, society has changed in a lot of different ways. One reason for why milk consumption decreased during the 1980s was because we started to have more and more access to foreign foods and cuisines where dairy products aren't staple goods. Now, from an environmental standpoint, one may question importing foods. Yet all the same, we can now grow foods in climates where it before wasn't possible, partly due to climate change, and partly due to technological advances such as greenhouses. We have evolved, and now have the tools needed to produce a drink that can be used where cow's milk was once the only alternative, but now with a nutritional profile developed for humans beyond infancy.
To address oat milk a little bit more, since that's what the commotion concerns: in Sweden, and certainly many countries around here such as the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France, Norway, Finland, Denmark bla bla bla: growing oats is a splendid idea. The climate is right, the output/input ratio is fabulous, and – again -, it is formulated for human consumption. Oatly's fact page about their products is in English — take a look. Also Oatly's response to the charges from the dairy corporations is available online, though in Swedish.
The article that prompted me to write this ended with a comparison of nutritional profiles – I think it can be deciphered, despite the language.

While most investors aren't eager to see themselves eclipsed, for the Finnish government, it's actually a good thing. After years of having to back its own startups, Finland is finally starting to get significant outside funding for its early stage companies.
Last year, foreign VCs invested 216 million Euros in Finnish startups, up from 110 million Euros the prior year and just 21 million Euros in 2010.
The bottom line: For the first time, foreign investors poured more money into Finnish startups than did the government.

My college English professor used to begin each class with a writing exercise. He would ask us to choose one moment—a word, a sentence, any instance that spoke to us in some way—from the book we were reading and write about it. The purpose was twofold: to deepen our understanding of the text, and to be more articulate and focused in our writing.
I was reminded of this exercise while working on the last book review, and thought it would be fun to get back into it again. With that in mind I collected various prompts related to books and reading; simple questions that might capture some interesting "moments", help me develop my writing, and let you get to know me better. I'd like to share these with you in a series I'm calling Nota Bene.
The first post is in the works as I speak…er, type. Comment below with questions, feedback, and general wonderings!

About ten years ago now, DH decided to book us all tickets to go and see Cirque du Soleil who were touring (coincidentally at the Trafford Centre - what is it about that place that makes toddlers bat-sh*t?). Anyway, we booked for my in-laws, DS1 (4), DD1 (2), DH and I to go one Sunday afternoon.
We had high hopes of enjoying the wonderful atmosphere and brilliant performance. DD1 (then 2) did not. Frankly, in retrospect I can understand her feelings at the time - a circus with no animals (ethically this is good apparently but also boring when you are two) and full to the brim with serious middle-class types with no children (or at the very least, older children than ours) was no place for a toddler
To cut a long story short, she whined throughout most of the first half (pretty much from when the bribe jelly babies ran out), fidgeted, cried when the clowns came out (with her on that one) and made our little row of audience members a pretty unbearable place to be. Understandably some people began to roll their eyes at us. So my husband did what every reasonable parent would do and he took her outside, leaving the rest of us to carry on watching.
As he left one of the staff commented "oh, we were about to tell you to leave anyway, someone has complained". Ace.
Did my husband get cross? Did he email the circus exclaiming his disgust at being spoken to like that by a member of staff? Did he publicly lament being made to feel like a sh*t parent?
He took our DD and sat outside
I may have had a small cry at the indignity of it all, I was 20 weeks pregnant at the time and a bit emosh, but we did learn several things that day.
1. Cirque du Soleil isn't all that
2. It is also no place for children too small to appreciate it
3. We have never taken any of the kids to see any live performances since that day - there is a reason why DVDs were invented (I suspect internet shopping exists for similar reasons)
4. Sometimes you just have to grow a thick skin - ignore the haters
5. Parenting is all about compromise (as I say, DVDs, internet shopping, UK holiday destinations)
It wasn't the beginning of our learning curve, nor I suspect will it be the end.
Just one of those things sent to try us. You live and learn after all.

We have tested self tanners and name Decléor Aroma Sun 125 ml as best in test. This self tanner is easy to apply without feeling greasy. The end result is clear and gives a nice colour. With Decléor Aroma Sun you can easily and quickly get a fantastic tan. Best budget choide is Cocoa Brown One Hour Tan. This self tanner dries up quickly, has a good texture and is easy to apply. It is easy to spread it evenly, which gives a natural looking end result.
We carry out our tests ourselves and test all products as they are intended to be used in reality. In our test of self-tanners, the products were evaluated both after first application and after repeated use, in order to determine how the product performs and whether you can build up a darker shade. In the test, we used the parameters below to assess the products:
Colour: What colour does the self-tanner produce? Is it a brown tone, and does it look natural? How intense is the colour and can you build up a darker shade over time? Does the product add lustre?
Application: Is the product easy to apply? Is it easy to avoid stripes and white patches?
Stickiness: Is the product sticky on application? How quickly it is absorbed by the skin? Does it leave stains on clothes and sheets?
Scent: What scent does the product have? Can you smell the unique scent of self-tanner? How long does the scent last?
The assessment of the product is based on the overall experience, including the packaging. The score is then based on the assessment in relation to the product price to determine value for money.
Non-sticky cream that's straightforward to apply and gives great results
Formula: Cream Packaging: Plastic tube Colour level: Strong Application mitt required: No
Decléor Aroma Sun is straightforward to apply. Forget the application mitt and worrying about an uneven result, as this cream can simply be applied with the hands, just like a body lotion. The consistency is just soft enough, which makes it easy to apply uniformly, and it's not sticky either. Although the fact that the formula feels like a body lotion and that it dries quickly can be deceptive, because the results are pretty strong. If you put your clothes on too soon, or if you sweat after application, you can risk getting an uneven result. And even though the cream is very moisturising, you will still need to moisturise dry areas in advance so that they don't get too dark, something that it's very easy to forget.
Decléor Aroma Sun produces a nice brown shade. One application gives a light, sun-kissed shade, while two result in a clear suntan. The tone of the colour is quite cool, and not at all orange. This is obviously good, but depending on your skin type you may feel that it lacks something in terms of lustre. However, you can supplement this with normal body lotion when you've developed the right colour. The scent is summery but weak, both during application and after a little while. Given how fast the tube gets used up, the price of this product is rather high. But with Decléor Aroma Sun you do get a really good tan very simply and quickly, so of course it can be worth it!

Non-sticky and easy to apply with a natural result
Formula: Mousse Packaging: Spray bottle Colour level: Weak Application mitt required: Yes
Cocoa Brown has exploded on the market and become very popular recently. When you spray out the firm mousse it gives off a soft, sweet scent that smells like a handful of summer. The light brown colour makes it easy to apply in an even layer. The mousse is also slightly golden, which gives a pleasant lustre and immediately makes you feel more attractive. One of the best characteristics of Cocoa Brown, and an aspect that makes it stand out from other products, is that it's pretty much not sticky at all. It's absorbed by the skin very quickly without it being at all difficult to spread the mousse evenly over the skin.
Cocoa Brown can be rinsed off after one, two or three hours depending on how dark a colour you require. So you can't apply it in the evening before going to bed. Obviously this is a problem if you have an active lifestyle. On the other hand, it's a great way to control the result. Sadly a result that produced more colour would have been helpful, as it's a very weak shade. Although it is natural and attractive. The scent of the self-tanner comes through quite a lot, but because you do shower off the product that doesn't matter too much. Cocoa Brown has become popular for good reason. With an attractive result and a good price, this product deserves a top position.

Easy to apply and gives natural results with lots of colour
Formula: Mousse Packaging: Pump bottle Colour level: Strong Application mitt required: Yes
This self-tanner delivers a wonderful golden and natural shade. St. Tropez has quickly become one of the most popular manufacturers in this area, and that's no surprise. The results are quite simply very good. For application, you use an applicator mitt which makes it easy to spread the mousse over your skin. The product is brownish, which makes it easier to get an even result as you can see where you've already applied it. This bronzing mousse gives a good result even after one use, which means that you have to be extra careful to apply it everywhere. If you miss a bit it's guaranteed to be visible the next day.
St. Tropez have succeeded pretty well in concealing the typical self-tanner scent. When the mousse is applied it takes a while for it to dry, which means it's best to apply it in the evening. The brownish colour means that white sheets risk being slightly stained, but you can get rid of the colour by washing them. At first glance, the product may seem expensive, but it's economical and so it lasts a long time. In combination with the simple application and fantastic end results, this means that St. Tropez Self Tan Classic Bronzing Mousse gets a good score.

Easy-to-use product that gives a natural, lustrous result and smells good
Formula: Cream Packaging: Soft tube Colour level: Gradual build-up Application mitt required: No
Dove's cream gradually creates a beautiful, natural suntanned shade. As the colour is built up gradually over several applications, you don't end up with stripes or dark patches. In combination with the light consistency, this makes the cream easy to use. Dove's self-tanner can be used to advantage on already naturally suntanned skin to reinforce your suntan and create more lustre. As the cream is quite sticky after application, you should wait until it's been completely absorbed before getting dressed if you want to avoid unsightly stains.
One positive characteristic is that Dove have pretty much succeeded in concealing the unique scent of self-tanners. Instead, DermaSpa Summer Revived has a pleasantly mild perfumey scent. The cream is available in two different shades, so that you can adapt the suntan better to your own skin tone. It produces a pale shade of brown, which means that you can even use the darker shade on lighter skin if you want a more intense result. The fact that Dove DermaSpa Summer Revived can so easily be adapted to the depth of effect you want is only one of this self-tanner's strong points. It's also extremely cheap in comparison with similar products, which makes it a very good-value-for-money option.

Immediate, really good results produce a great last-minute suntan
Formula: Spray Packaging: Spray bottle Colour level: Strong colour Application mitt required: Yes
You get an immediate suntanned and beautiful result with Marc Inbane Natural Tanning Spray. The product combines the effects of a coloured spray and the normal self-tanning process. So in addition to the immediate suntan effect, the product also continues to work, just like a normal self-tanner. This means you still have a good brown colour even when you've showered away the upper layer of colour. As the scent conceals the self-tanner scent well, this is truly a product that can be used at the last minute. If you realise an hour before the party that you need a bit more colour for the dress you've chosen, Marc Inbane Natural Tanning Spray is your saviour.
You spray the product on your body, and the idea is that you don't need an application mitt. However, if you want a uniform result, you really do need to use one. Also, despite its spray format, the product is a bit tricky to get in the right spot. Obviously the best thing to do is get someone else to help you spray your back or other inaccessible areas. Unfortunately the spray spreads out and you get a brown layer all over the bathroom. Even in places you were nowhere near. To avoid having to clean the entire bathroom, it's pretty well essential to apply the product in the shower or another enclosed space. This is a shame as it's otherwise a very good product, and the drying time is fantastic. This, together with the scent and the results it produces, means that Marc Inbane Natural Tanning Spray is perfect for a last minute suntan.

Economical concentrate that gives a good shade
Formula: Concentrate Packaging: Plastic bottle Colour level: Weak Application mitt required: No
Clarins Radiance Plus Golden Glow Booster is a sun-tanner unlike most others. The product consists of an oil that you mix with normal body lotion. Simply add four to six drops to a squirt of body lotion, depending on the result you want. To give you an idea, this will be enough for almost an entire leg. The small bottle of concentrate is easy to handle and it's no problem to get out only one drop at a time. However, it's hard to say how practical it is to have to mix the product with lotion. If you've got a really good cream, of course there's a point, but otherwise it's mainly just a pain. The concentrate also dilutes the cream somewhat, so that it becomes thinner than it was before.
Unfortunately, the unique scent of self-tanner also emerges when you apply the concentrate. How much you notice this obviously depends on the lotion you've mixed it with. The colour from the product is very good, quite warm in tone, and gives a sun-kissed look. However, it's rather weak and you need several applications before you have a good result. The product is easy to apply and get an even result from, because once mixed it's essentially just a normal skin cream. And it's also very economical and lasts a long time as a result. Unfortunately this isn't enough in comparison with its competitors. We would have rather seen Clarins Radiance Plus Golden Glow Booster as a product that could be used on its own.

In the summer, many of us want our skin to look sun-kissed. But increasing numbers of people are starting to choose alternatives other than being out in the sun, and it's now possible to have fresh-looking tanned skin all year round. It used to be the case that you could tell whether the colour had b een created using a self-tanner or was natural because the artificial shade was more orangey and often patchy. But these days there are lots of good options that produce a nice tanned colour where it's impossible to say whether or not it's a natural suntan. A major contributory factor to this is that researchers have discovered that the active substance DHA (dihydroxyacetone) takes on an orange tone in alkaline solutions, but a brown tone in acidic solutions.
Self-tanners are available in a number of different formats, such as gel, spray tan, cream and mousse. The format that gives the best results depends on what you're used to using. In general, mousse and spray dry more quickly, while cream is often greasy and takes longer to be absorbed by the skin. Mousse and spray can also be slightly easier to spread evenly over the skin.
DHA reacts with the amino acids in the skin's proteins, which creates the darker shade. To begin with, you can't see what shade will develop. It can take up to six hours before the reaction is finished and the darker shade has emerged. So it's a good idea to wait at least six hours before you have a shower to avoid rinsing the brown colour away. The fact that it can take so long for the product to be absorbed by the skin means that there is a risk you'll get stains on light-coloured clothes and sheets. However, these stains can often be removed by normal washing. Self-tanners only sink into the very outermost layer of the skin and therefore disappear naturally when the skin cells flake off after a few weeks. If you want to remove the colour more quickly, you can buy special removers, but it can still be difficult to quickly get back to your natural skin colour.
Many people feel that self-tanners have a very specific scent. This is a result of the reaction that takes place on the skin, so it's not possible to make a product that doesn't smell like this. What most manufacturers instead do is try to mask the scent with different combinations of perfumes that make it more difficult for our sense of smell to pick out the scent of the self-tanner. This has developed more in recent years, and today there are many effective products that smell really good.
Because the product only sinks into the very outermost layer of the skin, you can go out in the sun after applying self-tanner. A natural suntan affects the deeper layers of skin and so it lasts longer. But it can be a good idea to wait for at least eight hours before sunbathing, because the reaction taking place on the skin can make it rather sensitive. Nor is it a good idea to sweat too much immediately after you apply self-tanner, because you may end up with a blotchy result.
One of the challenges of using self-tanners is getting a uniform result that looks natural. To succeed with this, it's important to exfoliate the skin before use to remove dead skin cells. This reduces the risk of dark patches. Another tip is to moisturise dry areas such as cuticles, elbows, knees, hands and feet before applying self-tanner. Otherwise, these areas are likely to absorb more of the self-tanner and become darker than the skin around them. Apply a thicker body lotion and wait until it has been properly absorbed by the skin.
When you then apply the self-tanner, the process is much easier if you use an application mitt. This makes it easier to spread the cream out over your skin and gives you a bigger chance of getting a result without patches and stripes. Use a little less of the product on the areas which would naturally become less tanned, such as armpits or the inside of your arms. It's always very difficult to get an even application on your back. The easiest solution is to ask somebody to help. If that's not possible, an application mitt is at least useful for evening out the edges.
After application, it's important to wash your palms and between your fingers, as otherwise the accumulation of self-tanner in these areas will tend to make them darker and unnatural looking. Wait until the product has dried properly and then wear clothes that aren't too tight, to reduce the risk of your clothes messing up the result if the product hasn't quite dried completely yet.
To obtain a good result on your face, apart from exfoliation and moisturising, it's also important to use a product intended for your face or which can be used on both body and face. Products intended for your body are generally a little bit greasy and can cause skin problems.

Who would have EVER THOUGHT that you would hardly NEVER be able to tell what "a child's age is"…….. Scary and Sad all at the same time!
Patience with others is Love…….. Patience with self is Hope…… Patience with God is Faith
My son and I are indeed leaning on The Lord! I cannot guide him if I am not guided by The Father – Raising sons is a task that I cannot do alone. So far so good, thanks to JESUS! It is challenging at times but I manage!
We have forgotten what it means to wait upon God. Those that wait upon God hold to His standards. They know that they can not accomplish what God wants without God's extraordinary grace. Because of this, they seek His face. They confess their sins.
They call upon the Name of the Lord. Worldliness has a specific term right now called pragmatism. We need to repent from this and wait upon God! I no longer continue to live my life by having GOOD ideas but waiting on God allows me to PRODUCE GOD IDEAS!
I remember when church was simple and easy… now idk ppl have taken Grand beyond the sky
Distance for some loved ones is what is needed to maintain at least a satisfatory relationship……for some people it is good to stay in contact by way of technology…..you are not too close and not too far but there is a way that you can always stay in touch with one another..if need be
However, Loving a few people from a distance and give them the space and time that is needed so that they can get their minds right….their actions right…their motives right before you allow them back into your life… Again it is our individual choice / decision whom we let enter our lives….
Forget the slogan of reason…season and lifetime… sometimes there are people who do not even FIT at all and we still try to "find a space for them" or a nice cozy undeserving slot… why do it if we know FROM THE BEGINNING that they do not belong in your life….let alone NEAR US?
I am sure that we all have been there….. but the difference is that I STOPPED it.. now it is your turn!! Stop letting people enter who are not welcomed!
Thinking of my buddy Phil ( for single and married couples ) and all of his great wisdom right now….. much love my friend!
What are you trying to say? That people who are voting for President Obama do not work? Hmm…….
Mitt, you are acting and talking like Vice President Joe Biden now…… Saying ANYTHING and it is coming from out of your neck!!! UGGHH I am not a huge President Obama Supporter – HOWEVER – this is a very SLY comment Mitt! It is so nice for you to show your REAL COLORS!
Cannot wait until this 2012 Presidential Election is OVER….. Praying God will allow the right person in office – whomever that may be.
People wonder why I love Governor Chris Christie!! Who asks about elections during a storm? As you look at the video, you can clearly tell that Gov. Christie wanted to flip out!
Who cares what political party he is affiliated with because as the 2012 year closes…. to be honest, none of the political parties are what they used to be via morals, ethics and stances! Some have changed for the better and certainly also for the worse…
Nonetheless, in a perfect world…. I know if Gov. Christie would have placed his hat in the ring for the 2012 Presidential Election, that he would have surely won.
To ME……He is like President Bill Clinton ( whom I would politically stalk because he is sooooo intelligent! LOL ) but anyway, regardless if you love him or hate him via his political party BUT you respect the heck out of both of them because they GET THINGS DONE….
Since Bill Clinton has been in office things in this country has NOT been the same and ran even semi – smoothly….
Gov. Chris Christie 2016 ( i hope ) Sounds VERY nice doesn't it!

The resolution of childhood trauma is best viewed as an on-going process throughout one's life. Different issues related to the trauma are likely to be resolved at different stages in life, and, even once resolved, may be re-triggered at times of acute stress ; this is especially likely if the individual experiences in later life events which are similar in nature to the original trauma and trigger memories of it. For example, a person who was abandoned by his mother as a child may find the traumatic response is re-activated if his wife walks out on him.
Therefore, if a person completes a course in psychotherapy, and, at the end of it, feels his emotional difficulties have been resolved, but later experiences a relapse due to a particular stressful event later in life, he should not see his original therapy as a waste of time or himself as having somehow failed. Relapses at times of high anxiety are perfectly normal.
Because of this, by the end of a course of therapy intended to resolve the experience of childhood trauma, it is essential that the therapist has taught the client relevant coping strategies for such an eventuality.
The client should also be made aware that effects of severe trauma can never be absolutely guaranteed to be over and that there will always be some chance of recurrence. If a relapse is severe enough, it may, of course, be necessary for the individual to return to therapy.
One of the best signs of recovery from trauma is the ability to return to pursuing normal, everyday activities and the return of the capacity to experience some pleasure in life, especially in connection with relationships with others.
Another indication of recovery is when the individual becomes less obsessed with the past and starts to be capable of focusing more upon the present and the future.
Seven criteria for the resolution of trauma have been proposed by the psychologist Mary Harvey ; these are :
1) the physiological symptoms of the post traumatic stress have become manageable
2) the person is able to cope with the unpleasant memories connected to the experience of the trauma
3) the traumatic memories have ceased to be so intrusive
4) the memory of the traumatic event has resolved itself into a coherent narrative
5) the person has regained a sense of self-esteem
6) the person has been able to re-establish significant relationships with others
7) the person has reconstructed a coherent system of meaning and belief that makes sense of the traumatic experience and its subsequent damaging effects

Cockos Incorporated Forums. How to Use Compression to Solve 5 Common Mixing Mistakes. Compress to impress.
Compressors are great problem-solvers when you mix music. But if they're used wrong, compression can significantly color (and even mess up) your sound. So you need to know what you're doing to make it work for you (and actually solve your issue). In this article you'll learn 5 common mixing problems and how to solve them using compression. So get to know them and start experimenting with your own sound… You'll be a compression expert in no time. What is a compressor? First let's dig into the basics! Compressors are funny creatures. Dynamic range is the difference between the loudest and the quietest parts of a signal.
You might be thinking: but isn't reducing the dynamic range a bad thing? Well, compressors lower the volume of loud peaks–they even out the notes that stick out in the mix.

Music production is more accessible than ever.
So access it! All you need is a laptop, an internet connection and your creativity to make fire tracks. How you say? Well, lots of web-savvy developers are making online music tools that improve all parts of your music production workflow—from composing, to sequencing and sampling. 7 Tips to Create Headroom and How It Will Save Your Mixes. Headroom is like air—your mix needs it to be able to breathe.
The most common problem we see at LANDR is a lack of headroom. Ask any mastering engineer and they'll say the same thing: if a track comes in too hot, there's no room left to master. There's even an acronym for it: GIGO. That stands for 'Garbage In, Garbage Out.' In other words, for your final mix to be good, you have to start with good habits for mixing music from the get-go. The two crucial qualities of a great mix are dynamics and headroom. Gain Staging: the bank account of your mix. Gain Staging: the bank account of your mix.

The Abbey Road Reverb Trick. 5 Tips To Avoid Ruining Your Mix With Muddy Sound. 9 Psychoacoustic Sound Design Tricks To Improve Your Music. When talking about improving the perceived quality of our productions and mixes, its easy to focus mainly on the technology we use, or the layout and acoustic treatment of our listening environment.
It's easy to forget that just as important as our software, equipment and studio is what happens to the signal after all of that, once the sound has made it into our internal hearing system – our ears and brains – and how that sound is actually experienced. So that's what this article is about: some tips and tricks for operating and manipulating your listeners built-in 'equipment'! "If real is what you can feel, smell, taste and see, then 'real' is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain…" This basically falls under the heading of psychoacoustics, and with knowledge of a few psychoacoustic principles, there are ways that you can essentially 'hack' the hearing system of your listeners to bring them a more powerful, clear and 'larger than life' exciting experience of your music. 1.
The ultimate guide to compression: our best tips and step-by-step guides. Compress to impress Whether you're beefing up a kick or mastering an entire track, it's all about dynamics processing, and compression is at its heart.
Compression will always be the subject of heated debate in regard to appropriate usage (don't mention the Loudness War...), but whether you like to use liberal amounts of it all over your mixes, prefer to apply it in small doses, or just want to learn more about the subject, we can help. The Ultimate EQ Cheat Sheet for Every Common Instrument. Image via Shutterstock You asked, and you shall receive, Sonicbids blog readers.
Per multiple requests, here's my guide to, "When the hell do I start turning these knobs, and where do they go? " But before we begin, I offer you the fine print: These references are general ideas for where to begin to look for sonic issues with particular sounds, instruments, and voices. I'm not going to tell you "always notch this 9 dB here and add 3 dB here with a wide boost and, voila, perfect sound! " because it's unfortunately just not that simple. Sometimes a guitar cab gets mic'd up differently night to night, plus every voice is unique, and every snare drum "speaks" differently (just ask a drummer).
A subtractive approach to EQ Not everyone's ethos on EQ is the same, and most people may never see eye to eye on EQ approach. Also, a quick note on the topic of high pass filters: use them. Here's a detailed, instrument-by-instrument guide to EQ. Drums Image by Danny Sheppard via Flickr / CC BY-NC-ND 2.0.

Customer Testimonials
Very happy with the service I received from Belvoir.
Having struggled to find a decent flat at a reasonable rent in my particular circumstances, having recently returned to the area and being between work contracts, I found Belvoir came up trumps. Very friendly and helpful staff and special thanks to David Whyte for advice and exceptional service in helping me secure my new home.
Well done everyone!
I am currently renting through belvoir estate agents, the whole process of getting our flat was quick and simple. The staff there were great and very friendly easy to talk to also. I was and am very happy with my choice to rent through belvoir and would highly recommend them to family and friends
I contacted David Whyte from Belvoir to help me let my Portsmouth property. I found him to be genuine, highly responsive and I will certainly use him again. Thank you Dave.
Dave Whyte listened took on board my brief criteria for a suitable Southsea one bed rental flat. He took quite a short time to find me a suggested flat that met all my "must have" detailed personal requirements. I have taken a one year lease on this flat and am entirely happy and grateful for his knowledge and efforts on my behalf. The in house office staff at Belvoir led by Helen have all been only to ready to help me both in project selection and paperwork and since in an aftercare service role.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Belvoir Southsea to others.
Thank you
Thank you so much Dave !!! That's the first thing I can say. He was so humble, helping and professional, made my hunt for flats so smooth. I am looking forward to refer you to my colleagues/friends for their searching in upcoming days :)
Thank you Belvoir!
What a lovely estate agents, couldn't fault it.. especially David he was amazing and so helpful! I had previously been to 3 other estate agents and they were not interested. David went out of his way to help us find a place.. what a legend! Thanks David!

What movie is this?
This is Burning, the korean borefest...
BURNING is right, good work Carlos!!
..... although I don't agree with the bore fest comment ;)
Take a look to The spy gone north, that´s the best korean film of the last years.
Oh cool thanks, I love a recommendation I've never heard of! Exciting :)
It played in Cannes also, so it´s not that obscure. It seems journalists were very busy gushing over that pretentious mess. The spy is like a combination of Zodiac and Múnich, with the highest stakes ever. A lot of fun.
"If not my favorite of that year - and it may be - it's at a minimum in the top 3 or so. And Jake should absolutely have been up for the Oscar that year, and maybe won (although I'd have been good with Keaton). While it has a look or style that relates to an older Los Angeles, the heart of it is as timely as can be, sadly."--- For its 5th anniversary I gave some love to Dan Gilroy's film Nightcrawler for besides being awesome also seeing our awful present in advance, and here reader Scott agrees.

Between 2004 and 2008, Indian Railways has not been able to perform to its potential. Normally, Railways' revenue grows by two percentage points higher than the growth of Indian economy. According to Railways' own statistics, its revenues growth rate was two percentage points lower than the growth rate of Indian GDP in each of these four years.
The main problem is a severe capacity constraint that does not allow the Railways to carry more freight even when there is demand. Freight traffic has grown by an average of over 9 percent in the last four years but in order to grow further the railways have to concentrate on infrastructure development.
The central government recently set up the National Transport Development Policy Committee to suggest measures to promote greater commercial orientation of transport services in the country. The committee is chaired by Dr. Rakesh Mohan, former deputy governor, Reserve Bank of India, who earlier headed the expert group on Railways that recommended corporatisation of the railway administration in 2002.

In the Argentina model, almost all passenger service was dropped by the private owners, virtually overnight. Today, Argentina is realizing that any progressive modern nation must provide comprehensive passenger rail for its citizens, and they are finding it expensive to start the services again. Laws to move goods, freight, and commerce by rail, as in France, Switzerland and other nations should be considered. Trucks (lorries) on Indian roads constitute one of the most dangerous driving situations on earth.on Aug 18, 2010

Stemming from Beaujolais region, the Labruyère Family has been committed for several generations to render the most accurate expression of terroirs they were in charge of.
Their respect for the latter comes from the extreme care they apply from vineyards to cellar. Vines are sustainably farmed using respectful practices such as gentle soil cultivation and by leaving grass between rows (cover crops) – to increase nutrients and provide organic matter.
Grapes are manually harvested, plot by plot, in order to preserve berries integrity and to ensure optimal ripeness level. Almost all winemaking processes take place in truncated oak vats only using indigenous yeasts.
Chateau Rouget is now recognized as a benchmark on the Right Bank thanks to the commitment of a Family which values hard work and refuses compromises in order to reach the highest quality standards of prestigious Bordeaux wines.
The constant concern for quality has presided over the birth, in 1992, of another wine, today called le Carillon de Rouget. Made from younger vines on dedicated plots, le Carillon de Rouget is ready for drinking earlier than Chateau Rouget. Its round and charming structure during its youth gives time to the Grand Vin to develop its complexity and fineness.
