Lucky Dube - Changing World lyrics
Changing World by Lucky Dube
Old man sitting by the side of the road
He's not watching the birds today
He's not watching the sunset like he always does
He's looking at the future
He has seen the past
School boy passes by interrupts his thoughts
He said sir, can you spare me a dollar
I got to make in time for my grade 8 class
I am fresh out of cigarettes
And I can't be late
The old man said
The world is changing
Take your time, look around
Make the right decision
He has no crystal ball
But he sees the future
Doesn't like what he sees, but what can he do
Little girl passes by with a baby in her arms
He thinks it's her mother's
But no, it is her own
She's only twelve years old for crying out loud
With his trembling finger
He wipes away the tears
If this is the future, he doesn't wanna be part of it
The world is changing
Take a time, look around
Make the right decision
Old man sitting by the side of his bed.
When he goes to sleep tonight
He won't have no sweet dreams
He'll be haunted by ghosts from the future
Welcome to the future.

China says it plans to restrict exports of rare earth metals, and build a strategic reserve of the valuable minerals. But this decision by the world's largest producer of rare earth metals has sparked global concerns. Let's check out some global reactions.
The Daily Telegraph has reported that China's decision could cause a crisis for high-tech development. The UK newspaper says global energy competition has entered a new stage, claiming this is because nations are already experiencing difficulties in acquiring rare raw materials.
The US News and World Reports says the US relies on the Chinese exports for new energy uses. Export restrictions on the metal elements could cause fuel refineries to cut production, triggering a new nation-wide energy shortage.
Meanwhile, the Times worries that China's plans could lead to a global supply short-fall, adding that the monopoly of rare earth metals is unimaginable for Western nations.
But developed nations have hardly mentioned the benefits they have won from China's willingness to tolerate the Western world's environmental abuses. Many countries, like the US, have already built their own rare metal reserves. They use imports to protect their mineral reserves. The US is the world's second largest rare earth metals holder, accounting for nearly 12 percent of worldwide stocks. But it began halting production in 1999 for strategic and environmental concerns.
Australia and Canada are also tightening the mining of rare earth metals, and importing from China for mineral reserves.
South Korea and Japan nearly import all rare earth elements from China. The minerals are used in one third of Japan's industrial sector, and the country has on reserve two thirds of its annual imports for strategic proposes

China is planing to cut export of rear earth metal by half in 2011 according to Chines government sources.

Central Mexico's Popocatepetl Volcano registered a mild eruption on Sunday, sending a plume of smoke and steam two km high, authorities said.
The eruption registered at 9:04 a.m.local time (1404 GMT) was the fourth in 24 hours, according to the National Disaster Prevention Center (Cenapred) of Mexico.
"In the past 24 hours, the Popocatepetl Volcano monitoring system registered 88 low-intensity exhalations and four explosions, including two on Saturday at 12:52 p.m. (1752 GMT) and 8:50 p.m. (0150 GMT Sunday), one on Sunday at 6:22 a.m.(1122 GMT) and this latest one," said Cenapred.
The agency also detected "a light emission of gas and steam to the northeast" of the volcano, located some 70 km southeast of the capital Mexico City, home to more than 20 million people.
The Popocatepetl Volcano has been mildly active since Dec. 21, 1994, and a "yellow phase 2" caution alert has been in place ever since, meaning people must keep outside a 12-km radius around the crater.
After a powerful 7.1-magnitude quake struck central Mexico on Sept. 19, the volcano registered two eruptions of steam and gas in the following four days.
However, officials say they have not observed any significant uptick in volcanic activity in relation to the quake.

Manchester City's unrelenting march to the Premier League title appears to be a foregone conclusion after Wednesday's win at Newcastle.
Pep Guardiola's juggernaut are now a whopping 15 points clear of nearest rivals Manchester United, and it would take a spectacular implosion for them to throw away their unassailable lead even at this stage of the campaign.
It will come as no surprise, then, for fans to learn that City now hold the record for the best 'start' to a season - previously held by Bayern Munich - in Europe's biggest five leagues thanks to their mind-boggling run of 19 wins and one draw from 20 matches:
LOS DOS MEJORES ARRANQUES (tras 20 jornadas) EN TODA LA HISTORIA DE LAS CINCO GRANDES LIGAS EUROPEAS (ESP-ENG-GER-ITA-FRA):— MisterChip (Alexis) (@2010MisterChip) December 27, 2017
19PG-1PE-0PP: Manchester City 2017-18 (entrenador: PEP GUARDIOLA)
18PG-2PE-0PP: Bayern 2013-14 (entrenador: PEP GUARDIOLA)
Only Everton have managed to prevent City from chalking up a win in every one of their league clashes so far this term as the latter leaves their title rivals in the dirt with half the season to go.
Ironically it was Guardiola himself who led Bayern on their 18-match winning streak, and the Spaniard can now point to an even more remarkable record in the north west of England.
It pains us to say it but the Premier League is no longer competitive - trophy wise at least - when City can blow the opposition away so soon into the season.
England's top flight has always prided itself on being one of the more entertaining leagues due to its nature of having three or four contenders for the crown, but that mantle has passed to Serie A with the other four top divisions pretty much seeing their title fights wrapped up already.
City fans won't care one jot, but everyone else may want to think about stopping something similar next time around...

What a fantastic weekend!! x10!
Words can't describe what it meant to be able to see all my best friends from college. These girls (plus Megan, who couldn't make it) were my lifeline, my cheerleaders, my teammates, my listening ears, my vacation buddies, my songmates, and my closest friends.
Several of the alumni organized this 10-year reunion and concert. We met up for a dinner Friday night where we giggled, told stories, met everyone's husbands and kids, watched the current NW group perform their ICCA set, took pictures, and hugged.
Aaaaaand I had to make a dress for the occasion :)
Saturday we threw together a show! We'd been practicing our tracks from our old recordings and brushing up on choreo from youtube videos at home. Its amazing how it all comes back!
This concert also celebrated the new release of our 4th CD! It is called "Unbound", and the songs are killer.
We had the Covey at 8am, and fit in vocal rehearsals, choreography, sound checks, and pizza, before the show that night.
Getting to perform for Travis & Holly, Braden & Lauren, and Janae made this performance even more magical! Most of them had never seen me perform in NW, and it was fun to feel like I was in college with them.
My two years in NW put me in the "1st Generation" group as well as the "2nd Generation", so I got to perform in twice the numbers. A moment I will never forget is being introduced at this concert as the group that won ICCA, and before even singing a note, hearing our friends, our families, and our dear show parents completely warming us with applause. What an incredible feeling! Going back to 2007 as if nothing had changed, but then thinking of all the things that have happened in those 7 years, was humbling and touching.
Here's a little "Don't You Worry", part of our winning ICCA set:
The closer (or 2nd encore, rather), was "How Great Thou Art".
Its a good thing Travis' video ends where it does because we all start to lose it, the pitch drops, we're all in tears, and I'm a wreck. These girls. That song.
Kristen describes it all best when she wrote, "Late Tuesday and Thursday nights, early Saturday mornings, scraping to get by, dodging HFAC night closing crew, eating too much, dancing in front of mirrors, discovering the etiology of my sore knees to be the frequency of prayers said with pinkies clasped on hard floors, wondering if anyone would care about female a cappella, choreographing when I should have been studying, "visualizing" a win, the vision board (a perfect score), Saturday night gigs, NW limo ride in NY, trying to arrange parts, negotiating show flow and a set list, awkward talkies, getting kissed by a 40 year old man at a gig, winning best choreography, corded microphones at ICCA, winning ICCA 2007, road trips and speeding tickets, chappy, 12 minutes on the Lincoln Center Stage, the Tuacahn, heels and hair up, Barbie hands, and retreats. It was all of that. And more. It was finding myself onstage with 8 other women ready to bear witness to the world what we knew to be true about womanhood, music, and the gospel of Jesus Christ. It was a journey to "win the world", and I won so much more." -- Kristin

To accompany the new edition of PGZ, we approached industry experts to select from submissions received a photography graduate they would like to interview for Photograd. Here we have Semi Magazine founder Pagy Wicks interviewing University of Gloucestershire graduate Ben Milne.
Pagy Wicks: Really loved Over the Water. How did you come about deciding to document the differences in economic wealth in Liverpool and Birkenhead? What fueled you to create the photobook?
Ben Milne: Thank you. Well technically I was fuelled by my university deadline, haha, but really I wanted to make a piece of work that had some familiarity and discoverability to it. I was born in Birkenhead then lived within ten miles of it growing up so it just felt right to learn more about an area that is close to home rather than try and tell a story about wealth in a community that hasn't really got a place in my soul.
PW: Ah right, so this was for university initially? I really like that last line, deciding to document a place that has a relationship with you the photographer. What is your relationship with Liverpool? Did your inside perspective reveal any new insights into the wealth divide, or even Birkenhead in general, you maybe hadn't noticed before?
BM: Yeah I made the work for my final major project. My relationship with Liverpool is quite simple, it's just a place that is fun to visit but in terms of the project it's got a very visible contrast within such a short space, that being the river Mersey. That contrast is down to a few things, job opportunities, scale, the city status itself but EU funding plays a huge role. Liverpool's waterfront (as viewed from Birkenhead) was hugely funded by the European Union, while Birkenhead gets some funding it just doesn't carry the same weight.
Having a little inside perspective was revealing in the sense that it seemed to allow people to talk more openly with me, not so much about their own current opinion on Birkenhead but more of the pathos they have towards the past. The lady pictured behind the bar is 72 years old and she recounted with a sense of joy about "the good old days" when the streets were full and the Mersey ferry was not just a tourist vessel but a business commute, for many. Things move on, that's a given, but it feels as if a replacement never came for Birkenhead. It's almost been forgotten.
PW: The image of the old woman behind the bar is almost poetic, it's one of the very memorable images from the book for me. What sort of questions do you hope arise from a reader about the distribution of wealth illustrated by the juxtaposition of Birkenhead and Liverpool? Particularly in relation to the UK leaving the EU?
BM: Thanks very much, I like that one too. She was cool.
I hope it raises questions about the importance of communities that experience loss and the need for them to be rebuilt in some sort of beneficial way. The model is literally there, 1000 metres away in Liverpool. Not to say that Liverpool doesn't have its own issues with community neglect but in terms of two waterfronts the importance of European funding is there in the Albert Dock, not only to see but to enjoy. The fact that Birkenhead voted to Leave is no surprise as it's not really benefited from the crop. It does however highlight a possible future for the UK without the EU. Investment will have to come from alternate means and the question is will those means come? And will they ever see an interest in Birkenhead the same way the EU saw an interest in Liverpool?
PW: Thanks so much Ben, really excited to see the work develop in the future. The UK feels very divided at the moment, hopefully our conversation, between two people from either side of the coin, will spark something.
BM: Thanks very much, that was fun. It's great what you're doing. I look forward to reading the other interviews, especially the leave side ones, they should be interesting...

My capstone has begun and graduation is imminent. We'll be doing three different picture stories for this class throughout the semester, and my teacher Rita Reed sent us out to the interwebz to find inspiration.
It may not have been the most original place, but I went to the archives of CPOY to find story ideas. I thought that looking at stories done by fellow students who are probably in a similar situation as me would be good, as those stories would most likely be very possible to do in the time I have to give to them.
While he was a Mizzou student, Benjamin Reed did a beautiful story called "A Solitary Mind" about a man named Donald who lives in a mental health facility, Oaktree Manor, in St. Joseph, Missouri. The story was shot very well and very kindly. I found his shots to be empathetic and shot with care.
I think this story is one that would be great to do, if shot in a kind manner, much like Reed's. I think access would be difficult, and I'd be interested to see how Reed was able to gain the wonderful access he had.
Michael Rubenstein of Ohio University also did a beautiful story about a young beauty queen with cancer. The story was titled "The Little Apple Queen." It reminded me somewhat of Thomas Lekfeldt's story of Vibe, another young girl with cancer who ultimately passed away.
Lekfeldt's story won the World Understanding Award in POYi for "A Star in the Sky." This subject is somewhat close to me, as a very close friend of my teenage sister passed away a couple years ago, and I remember how difficult that was on her.
Another story about a young girl that I found to be beautiful was "Lizzy's Story" by Casey Templeton of James Madison University. The subject, Lizzy, is 11 and in charge of taking care of her many brothers and sisters. She enjoys looking older than her age, which is why she is wearing high heels, and runs a nail salon out of the lobby of the hotel where her family lives.
I think what is beautiful about all of these stories is the manner in which they were shot. The photographers had great care for their subjects and the way they were perceived. The subjects were respected and the photographer seemed genuinely like they cared for their situations. Whatever story I do, I hope I treat my subjects with as much care in the photographers I produce.

Via the New York Observer, by John Pompeo:
For everyday New York men who strive to be reasonably well dressed, it can be a daunting experience shopping for clothes that won't make you look like an ass.
Simply traverse the labyrinthine corridors of Barneys, Bergdorf and Bloomingdale's, where the all-over-the-place mess hanging from the men's racks is enough to induce migraines: Are pink ties metro or macho this week? Should slim-fit jeans really be this tight? Why do these scruffy flannel lumberjack shirts cost $300? And what's with all the crazy stripes and extra pockets and ridiculous eagle prints? Things aren't any simpler inside the showrooms of up-and-coming men's wear designers, a casual survey of which might make a discerning fellow ponder whether he'd rather look like an urban vampire (Robert Geller), a coal miner (Gilded Age) or a confused sailor (Rogues Gallery).
All of which helps explain the current appeal of American "trad," short for traditional: an Ivy League–inflected style that's managed to retain an old-school sensibility without seeming dated or costumelike. Trad is, quite simply, a safe haven for sartorially selective gentlemen amid the ever-growing chaos of department stores and runways.
Think Oxford button-downs (and that's real button-downs, meaning collars that button down, not simply dress shirts, to which the term is often misapplied). Natural-shouldered blazers. Flat-front khaki trousers. Loafers. Bow ties, rep ties. Polo shirts in solid colors. Lots of madras plaid. Early Brooks Brothers. New England WASPs. F. Scott Fitzgerald."Trad is sort of the antithesis of what's happening in fast fashion right now," said Michael Williams, 30, who obsesses over classic American men's clothing on his blog, A Continuous Lean. "It's like the opposite of what all the men's wear designers are doing," Mr. Williams continued. "It's not fashion; it's clothes."
THE ORIGINS OF trad date back to the turn of the century, with the founding in 1902 of the New Haven–based men's clothier J. Press, considered the epitome of the style. The look became prominent on the Ivy League campuses of the 1950s and '60s, as documented in the Japanese book Take Ivy, a rare photo collection first published in 1965 that's enjoyed something of a revival in the past year. The term trad itself is said to have been coined by the Japanese, who have also been driving the current fascination with obscure U.S. clothing brands and Americana that's taken hold at various men's boutiques, department stores and on a handful of blogs akin to Mr. Williams'. (J. Press was acquired by a Japanese company, Onward Kashiyama, in 1986.)
Perhaps you've noticed Lacoste polos, Ray-Ban eyewear, bow ties and hand-sewn camp moccasins on the streets of Billyburg?
Those who embrace the look say subtlety is key.
"When done right, it should almost be invisible," said John Tinseth, 52, an insurance broker and longtime traddy who's been writing a blog called The Trad—anonymously, until now—for the past two years. He was on the phone from his West 57th Street apartment, dressed, he said, in L. L. Bean khakis and moccasins and a yellow university-stripe Oxford by Rugby.
"A guy should walk right by you and he'll have the whole thing down and you won't even notice," Mr. Tinseth said. "That's when it's done perfectly."
'Imagine your best-dressed uncle throwing open his closet for you to frolic around in.'—David Wilder of J. Press
In New York, ground zero for trad is the J. Press store on Madison Avenue and 47th Street, one of the company's four U.S. retail locations. (The others are in New Haven, Boston and Washington, D.C.)
There, you will find David Wilder, a polite 41-year-old sales associate and trad guru to scores of Manhattan males.
On a recent Friday afternoon, Mr. Wilder, who is tall and broad of build, with thin blond hair and Joycean spectacles, was toggling between register, rack and fitting room, stopping every so often to chat with familiar customers, who greeted him brightly by name.
He was trying to find a properly fitting $595 navy blue wool blazer for a young buck headed back to school at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland."I think this one's going to be a lot better," Mr. Wilder said, sliding a size 41-long onto the studious shopper's shoulders.
Mr. Wilder grew up in Greenwich, Conn., "surrounded by Madras jackets and what we would call 'go to hell' pants, which are heavily patterned," he said on his lunch break, over a quiche and a bottle of Canada Dry ginger ale at a sandwich shop across the street from the store. "The type of stuff you'd wear to the Belle Haven yacht club." He was wearing tasseled Alden loafers; English-made J. Press over-the-calf socks; American-made J. Press khakis with a one-and-three-quarter-inch cuff (the trad standard); a Lewin striped shirt purchased on Jermyn Street in London (a bit racy for a trad ensemble, he said); a flat-knit solid navy blue necktie; and a natural-shouldered navy blazer by David Cenci. (His J. Press jackets were at the cleaners that day.)
AT YALE, Mr. Wilder studied 18th-century American and European history, and spent several of his summers working part time at the J. Press store in New York. "It was like working in your eccentric uncle's genteel closet," he said fondly. "Imagine your best-dressed uncle throwing open his closet for you to frolic around in. Like an insiders' club for people who love the Ivy League look."
After that, Mr. Wilder helped run a high-end personal stationery business, Therese Saint Clair, that his parents founded when he was 9 years old, and that he eventually sold in 2001.
About five and a half years ago, after a stint working as a concierge at the Delamar Greenwich Harbor Hotel, Mr. Wilder sent his résumé to the New York J. Press store on a whim. He was hired shortly thereafter, he said, and has been shilling trad style five days a week ever since.What is the difference between trad and preppy, The Observer wondered?"Preppy is a little broader than trad," he said. "It's more eccentric, more colorful." (All those duck prints!)Trad's entire purpose is to defy and transcend the whims of fashion, but inevitably some elements will be seen on the runways this week—likely during Thom Browne's show on Sunday, Sept. 13, at his Hudson Street store (Mr. Browne got a massive plug when Vogue editor Anna Wintour recommended him to David Letterman on her Aug. 24 Late Show appearance).Since 2007, Mr. Browne—otherwise best known for encouraging men to expose their hairy ankles—has been designing a trad-oriented specialty collection for Brooks Brothers called Black Fleece.
This year's spring/summer line was heavy on the madras, seersucker and paisley, with a predominantly navy blue, white and gray color palette. (A photo that surfaced on The Sartorialist blog in April 2006 of a silver-haired gentleman wearing a slim, short-cut navy blue blazer, a light blue Oxford shirt and dark gray slacks with an ankle-length pant hem ran with the caption: "O.K., Trads, you're really closer to the Thom Browne aesthetic than you may want to admit.") Like Mr. Browne, Michael Bastian, who is showing at Exit Art on Sept. 14, is a breakout men's wear designer known to dabble in trad pieces."Pick up a Browne or Bastian shirt," said Mr. Tinseth, "and you can feel the heft of it and know it was made with care."But a true traddy might opt for the more economical and authentic route of getting his dress shirts custom-made, perhaps by a tailor like Alexander Kabbaz, shirt maker to Tom Wolfe, Mr. Tinseth said. Likewise, a traddy would buy a J. Press suit over one made by a trendy designer.
"This stuff lasts forever, which I don't think fashion people like because they need to sell new stuff," said Mr. Tinseth, citing a pair of cordovan shell Alden wingtips he bought in 1986 and still wears today.Mr. Wilder, of course, concurred."Traddies want something authentic," he said, taking a sip of ginger ale. "Not something that's a riff on something authentic."

FREEZE! Step away from the tie rack. Instead of buying dad a tie for Father's Day out of last minute desperation, check out these Father's Day gift ideas that will earn you the coveted status of "favorite child."
- If your dad likes to live on the edge and is always game for adventure be sure to check out Hot Shots Paintball at Windy Hill Park. In addition to six paintball fields, it also offers a 150,000 square foot "Fort Dead" which is an old west scenario field. Get a group together and schedule a private event.
- If dodging speeding paintballs is a little outside his comfort zone, try a slightly (slightly) tamer adventure with an introductory tree climb at Panola Mountain State Park. Panola is a great place for the outdoorsy dad with fishing, hiking, camping, kayaking, archery, and biking.
- If dad is a connoisseur of craft beer we suggest two gift certificates. Pick-up a Barley & Vine gift certificate where he can either learn the fine art of beer making, buy a home brewing kit or just fill a growler with one of the more than 25 craft beers on tap. The second certificate should be for an Atlanta Brews Cruise tour through some of Metro Atlanta's best craft breweries including Henry County's own JailHouse Brewing Company.
- Sometimes the best gift is just a day with dad doing something he loves. If history is his passion we have two great options. The Heritage Park Veterans Museum is open Monday – Saturday from 10AM – 3PM and includes more than 20,000 pieces of military history from World War I to present. Since the museum is free, consider making a donation on your way out. The second stop on the history tour is Nash Farm Battlefield. It was the site of the largest cavalry raid in Georgia and one of the last battles in the Battle of Atlanta. While the park is open seven days a week the museum is only open on Friday and Saturday from 9AM-5PM. It contains artifacts and a history of life on Nash Farm during the 1860s. This museum is also free but donations are appreciated.
- Mix a little history with a little adventure and you have a helicopter ride in either a Vietnam-era military Huey or Cobra helicopter. The Army Aviation Heritage Foundation, located at the Henry County Airport, holds one of the few FAA exemptions that allows these rides for a donation. They also have a "flying museum" that can be viewed free of charge.
- For the speed demon dad, a racing or driving experience at Atlanta Motor Speedway is sure to wow. Multiple racing and driving schools offer sessions at AMS that range from ride-alongs to actual driving experiences. Weekly Thursday Thunder and Friday Night Drags events are also great options for dad's who just love cars.
- If a tie is really what he wants (or needs) Tanger Outlet Center in Locust Grove has more than 70 brand name outlets including a Brooks Brothers Factory Store.
For more information about these and other great activities for dad's check out these things to do.

Archived - Building Gesture Recognition Web Apps with Intel® RealSense™ SDK
Por JIMMY W., publicado em 19 de setembro de 2015
The Intel® RealSense™ SDK has been discontinued. No ongoing support or updates will be available.
In this article, we will show you how to build a web application that can detect various types of gestures using the Intel® RealSense™ SDK and front facing (F200) camera. Gesture recognition will give users of your application another innovative means for navigation and interface interaction. You will need basic knowledge of HTML, JavaScript*, and jQuery in order to complete this tutorial.
Hardware Requirements
- 4th generation (or later) Intel® CoreTM processor
- 150 MB free hard disk space
- Intel® RealSense™ camera (F200)
- Available USB3 port for the Intel RealSense camera (or dedicated connection for integrated camera)
Software Requirements
- Microsoft Windows* 8.1 (or later)
- A web browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer*, Mozilla Firefox*, or Google Chrome*
- The Intel RealSense Depth Camera Manager (DCM) for the F200, which includes the camera driver and service, and the Intel RealSense SDK. Go here to download components.
- The Intel RealSense SDK Web Runtime. Currently, the best way to get this is to run one of the SDK's JavaScript samples, which can be found in the SDK install directory. The default location is C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\RSSDK\framework\JavaScript. The sample will detect that the web runtime is not installed, and prompt you to install it.
Please make sure that you complete the following steps before proceeding further.
- Plug your F200 camera into a USB3 port on your computer system.
- Install the DCM.
- Install the SDK.
- Install the Web Runtime.
- After installing the components, navigate to the location where you installed the SDK (we'll use the default path):
C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\RSSDK\framework\common\JavaScript
You should see a file called realsense.js. Please copy that file into a separate folder. We will be using it in this tutorial. For more information on deploying JavaScript applications using the SDK, click here.
Code Overview
For this tutorial, we will be using the sample code outlined below. This simple web application displays the names of gestures as they are detected by the camera. Please copy the entire code below into a new HTML file and save this file into the same folder as the realsense.js file. Alternatively, you can download the complete web application by clicking on the code sample link at the top of the article. We will go over the code in detail in the next section.
The Intel RealSense SDK relies heavily on the Promise object. If you are not familiar with JavaScript promises, please refer to this documentation for a quick overview and an API reference.
Refer to the Intel RealSense SDK documentation to find more detail about SDK functions referenced in this code sample. The SDK is online, as well as in the doc directory of your local SDK install.
The screenshot below is what the app looks like when you run it and present different types of gestures to the camera.
Detecting the Intel® RealSense™ Camera on the System
Before we can use the camera for gesture detection, we need to see if our system is ready for capture. We use the
detectPlatform function for this purpose. The function takes two parameters: the first is an array of runtimes that the application will use and the second is an array of cameras that the application will work with. We pass in ['
hand'] as the first argument since we will be working with just the hand module and ['
front'] as the second argument since we will only be using the F200 camera.
The function returns an
info object with a
nextStep property. Depending on the value that we get, we can determine if the camera is ready for usage. If it is, we call the
Start function to begin gesture detection. Otherwise, we output an appropriate message based on the string we receive back from the platform.
If there were any errors during this process, we output them to the screen.
rs.SenseManager.detectPlatform(['hand'], ['front']).then(function (info) { if (info.nextStep == 'ready') { Start() } else if (info.nextStep == 'unsupported') { $('#info-area').append(' Platform is not supported for Intel(R) RealSense(TM) SDK: ') $('#info-area').append(' either you are missing the required camera, or your OS and browser are not supported ') } else if (info.nextStep == 'driver') { $('#info-area').append(' Please update your camera driver from your computer manufacturer ') } else if (info.nextStep == 'runtime') { $('#info-area').append(' Please download the latest web runtime to run this app, located here ') } }).catch(function (error) { $('#info-area').append('Error detected: ' + JSON.stringify(error)) })
Setting Up the Camera for Gesture Detection
rs.SenseManager.createInstance().then(function (instance) { sense = instance return rs.hand.HandModule.activate(sense) })
You need to follow a sequence of steps to set up the camera for gesture detection. First, create a new
SenseManager instance and enable the camera to detect hand movement. The
SenseManager is used to manage the camera pipeline.
To do this, we will call the
createInstance function. The callback returns the instance that we just created, which we store in the sense variable for future use. We then call the
activate function to enable the hand module, which we will need for gesture detection.
.then(function (instance) { hand_module = instance hand_module.onFrameProcessed = onHandData return sense.init() })
Next, we need to save the instance of the hand tracking module that was returned by the
activate function into the
hand_module variable. We then assign the
onFrameProcessed property to our own custom callback function called
onHandData whenever new frame data is available. Finally, we initialize the camera pipeline for processing by calling the
Init function
.then(function (result) { return hand_module.createActiveConfiguration() })
To configure the hand tracking module for gesture detection, you have to create an active configuration instance. This is done by calling the
createActiveConfiguration function.
.then(function (result) { hand_config = result hand_config.allAlerts = true hand_config.allGestures = true return hand_config.applyChanges() })
CreateActiveConfiguration function returns the instance of the configuration, which is stored in the
hand_config variable. We then set the
allAlerts property to true to enable all alert notifications. The alert notifications give us additional details such as the frame number, timestamp, and the hand identifier that triggered the alert. We also set the
allGestures property to true, which is needed for gesture detection. Finally, we call the
applyChanges function to apply all parameter changes to the hand tracking module. This makes the current configuration active.
.then(function (result) { return hand_config.release() })
We then call the
release function to release the configuration.
.then(function (result) { sense.captureManager.queryImageSize(rs.StreamType.STREAM_TYPE_DEPTH) return sense.streamFrames() }).catch(function (error) { console.log(error) })
Finally, the next sequence of functions sets up the camera to start streaming frames. When new frame data is available, the
onHandData function will be invoked. If any errors were detected, we catch them and log all errors to the console.
The onHandData function
function onHandData(sender, data) { for (g = 0; g < data.firedGestureData.length; g++) { $('#gesture-area').append(data.firedGestureData[g].name + '
') } }
onHandData callback is the main function where we check to see if a gesture has been detected. Remember this function is called whenever there is new hand data and that some of the data may or may not be gesture-related data. The function takes in two parameters, but we use only the data parameter. If gesture data is available, we iterate through the
firedGestureData array and get the gesture name from the name property. Finally, we output the gesture name into the
gesture-area div, which displays the gesture name on the web page.
Note that the camera remains on and continues to capture gesture data until you close the web page.
In this tutorial, we used the Intel RealSense SDK to create a simple web application that uses the F200 camera for gesture detection. We learned how to detect whether a camera is available on the system and how to set up the camera for gesture recognition. You could modify this example by checking for a specific gesture type (e.g.,
thumbsup or
thumbsdown) using if statements and then writing code to handle that specific use case.

Tailor-Made Holiday
Amid plains, lakes and marshes are scattered these old Russian towns. Known collectively as the Golden Ring of Russia, forming a rough circle which extends from Moscow towards the north-east.
The Golden Ring is the name given to a route which winds its way through a number of ancient cities lying north-west of Moscow and by virtue of its ancient monuments, Kremlins and the wealth of folk art, golden. Many of the buildings date from the 12th century and the journey between each city is alongside rivers and through green countryside, providing a glimpse of the simple rural life of Russia.
Although the traditional way to visit this region has been by one of the many boats which run between Moscow and St Petersburg (which we can arrange), inevitably one only sees a snapshot of the area is in conjunction with a large group of fellow passengers. As new small private hotels begin to open, it makes a private tour of this beautiful and historical area all the more appealing.
For a more detailed itinerary with great ideas on what to do and where to stay, please get in touch with our experts.
what is included
what is excluded
Fly London to Moscow
The ancient city of Moscow is the focal point of modern Russia and everything that it has come to represent. It is a city where history unfolds around every corner, whether in the shape of the magnificent golden domed cathedrals and churches, or the historic and instantly-recognisable Kremlin. With a rich history and an insatiable hunger to embrace global modernity, Moscow is a compelling city.
You will be staying at Golden Apple Hotel, Bed & Breakfast
City TourVisits will include Red Square, the Kremlin territory with cathedrals and Armoury museum, the famous GUM department store, now full of designer shops rather than Russian goods but with stunning architecture and St Basil's Cathedral. The Cathedral of Christ the Saviour on the banks of the Moskva River is also a must see with its gold domes and painted ceilings.
Tretyakov GalleryVisit the Tretyakov Gallery, restored in 1996, which houses the cream of Russian art and is famous for having what is considered to be one of the finest collections of Russian icons including the famous Virgin of Vladimir. Also next door is the New Tretyakov Gallery with a wonderful collection of Russian modern art.
Spend some time at leisure to explore independently
Travel from Moscow to Yaroslavl via Rostov
Travel to Yaroslavl via Rostov Velikiy. Rostov is one of the oldest and most beautiful towns of Russia and was first chronicled in about 862. (It was called Rostov the Great in 12th-17th centuries). In the 13th century the town was one of the main centres of the new Russian state formed in the north west part of ancient Russia and by the end of the 18th century Rostov had become one of the biggest and the richest towns of Russia. Visit the Finifti Museum and Kremlin.
Yaroslavl is a large, quiet town, more metropolitan than the other cities on the Golden Ring. Legend has it that Yaroslavl the Wise, a Kievian prince, was interested in a trading post here; the locals responded by setting a bear on him, which Yaroslavl killed and then founded a town on the spot, the symbol of the bear was then included on his coat of arms. The Monastery of the Transfiguration of the Saviour was founded in the 12th century, and was one of Russia's richest and most fortified monasteries.

Explore the Golden Ring - Yaroslavl250km north-east of Moscow, Yaroslavl is a quiet old town that was founded in 1010. Legend has it that Yaroslavl the Wise, a Kievian prince, was interested in a establishing a trading post here but the locals responded by setting a bear on him. Yaroslavl killed the bear, founded a town on the spot and incorporated a bear into his coat of arms. In the 16th and 17th centuries the town developed as Volga's first port and became Russia's second biggest. Walk along the river embankments from the Church of Elijah the Prophet back to the Monastery of the Saviour. The highlight is the Monastery of the Transfiguration of the Saviour, founded in the 12th century and one of Russia's richest and best fortified monasteries.
Travel from Yaroslavl to Kostroma
Explore the Golden Ring - KostromaSightseeing tour in Kostroma will include a city tour, visiting Ipatyevsky Monastery, Epiphany Monastery, Trinity Cathedral, and the Museum of Wooden Architecture. The real gem of the town is the Ipatyevsky Monastery, founded in the 14th century by the Zernov Boyars, ancestors of the Godunovs. This large structure is enclosed by a white brick kremlin and topped by tent shaped domes. In 1613, Mikhail Romonov left the monastery to be crowned in the Moscow Kremlin.Kostroma is situated on the left bank of the river Volga and is known by some as the "cradle of the Romanov dynasty". In 1613 an All Russia Council met in Moscow to elect a new Tsar and headed to Ipatiyevsky Monastery in Kostroma, where the young Mikhail Romanov had come from his family estate to hide. After talks with his mother, who was against the idea of her son ruling the country, Mikhail finally consented to take the crown and thus became the first Tsar of the Romanov dynasty.
Travel from Kostroma to Suzdal
A journey of approximately 3.5hrs.
Suzdal is one of the most beautiful cities of the Golden Ring, possessing more than 50 examples of churches and secular architecture dating from the mid-12th to the mid-18th century, whose main features are the numerous domes of medieval churches and wooden houses of local people. A highlight is the Kremlin, which contains several houses, some churches and the beautiful Nativity of the Virgin Cathedral, with its blue, gold domes and sumptuous frescoes. The Saviour Monastery of St. Euthymius - Suzdal's biggest monastery was founded in 1352 and by order of Catherine II a prison was built inside holding prisoners who had committed crimes against the church. More recently the German Field marshal von Paulus was held here for some time after his capture in Stalingrad in 1943. The prison is a museum now.

Explore the Golden Ring - SuzdalSuzdal is a beautiful Russian town, about 35km North of Vladimir, and famous for its lovely old monasteries, churches and museum of wooden architecture.First mentioned in 1024, Suzdal was made capital of the Rostov - Suzdal principality by Yuri Dolgoruky in the first half of the 12th century. Later, under Muscovite rule, Suzdal became a wealthy monastic centre with big building projects funded by Tsars Vasily III and Ivan the Terrible in the 16th century. In the late 17th and 18th centuries, wealthy merchants paid for 30 beautiful little churches, which still adorn the town.The highlight of a visit here is the Kremlin which contains several streets of houses, some churches, the main Cathedral group on Kremlovskaya street and the Nativity of the Virgin Cathedral, with its blue/gold domes and sumptuous frescoes.Other highlights of the town are the Monastery of the Deposition and the Saviour Moanastery of St Euthymius - Suzdal's biggest Monastery, founded to protect the towns Northern entry in the 14th Century.Just outside the city is the Museum of Wooden Architeture and Peasant life - a wooden 'model village', which illustrates peasant life in this reigion with ancient churches - notably the 1756 Transfiguration Church, the simpler 1776 Ressurection Church from Patakino and the wooden church of St Nicholas, which represents one of the oldest types of old Russian architecture, and is built from logs on a square frame with a long sloping roof.
Assumption CathedralThe Assumption Cathedral is a white stone version of Kiev's Byzantine style churchs. The Cathedral was built in 1158, after Andrey Bogolyubov announced Vladimir's succession to Kiev as the Russian capital. It was then extended greatly on all five sides after a terrible fire in 1180s. It also was adorned with four outer domes at this time.Vladimir was founded by Vladimir Monomakh, Grand prince of Kiev, in 1108 as a fort in the Rostov-Suzdal principality. The city witnessed its heyday in the 12th century during the reign of Prince Andrey Bogolubsky, who strengthened its defences and welcomed architects, icon-painters and jewellers. The most significant building constructed during his reign is the Assumption cathedral whose oldest murals date from 1161. In 1408 new frescoes were painted by the greatest of old Russian painters -Andrei Rubliov.

I left Seattle after lunch on Wednesday afternoon. Around 500 miles later I pulled into a dimly lit parking lot between a Chevron and a Travelodge. Crawling into my sleeping bag with the alarm set for 6am, I drifted into a blissful stealth-camping-in-a-motel-parking-lot-sleep outside of Butte, Montana.
A few hours later I was back on the road, truckstop coffee in hand. I swung by the airport in Jackson, WY to pick up my climbing partner and we arrived at Grand Teton National Park around two in the afternoon.
After lucking out at the ranger station with camping permits for that same night, we hightailed it to the trailhead. I packed my gear, checked it twice and we set off on the long hike to the base of the tallest mountain in the range, Grand Teton.
Five hours in and 2,000ft from the base of our climb, we setup camp as the sun disappeared behind a ridge. I burned my mouth eating jet boiled rice and refilled my water supply from an ice cold stream. From my bivy sack nestled in a small cave, I quickly fell asleep and avoided most of the wind that night.
The 4am alarm came early. I brewed coffee and oatmeal and stashed my backpack between some boulders. We set off by headlamp to pick our way up switchbacks and through boulder fields. I realized I'd forgotten my gloves in the car around the same time the wind picked up.
We climbed the upper exum ridge over the next few hours with no one else in sight. We reached the 13,775ft summit around 3pm and enjoyed the breathtaking views for about 10 minutes, before embarking on the long decent to our stashed gear some 4,000ft below.
Two rappels, steep fields of talus, and whole lot of wind later we arrived at our bags. From there we decended the remaining switchbacks to a snowfield another 1,000ft below to camp for the night. With headlamp and elation I inhaled my mac and cheese and abruptly fell asleep.
The next morning I awoke to brilliant sunlight reflecting off the snow and my breath hung in the air. We hiked 5 miles back to the truck and drove to Jackson for dinner. The next morning I drove straight through to Seattle.

Chevrolet Corvette Stingray starring the Transformers
Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is better known for its role in 'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen', where it played Sideswipe. The car was introduced as a concept car in 2009. It is about to hit the market as well anytime soon. It comes with a lot of interesting features. While it maintains the classic Corvette back, the front part is seriously changed. The scissor style doors and the driving controls are some of the most attractive innovations. Practically, the driver has the possibility to set the right level of efficiency and power according to their necessities. This commercial is obviously related to the Transformers role too.

Background: Adolescent obesity is challenging to treat even if good multidisciplinary approaches are started early. Vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) is an effective intervention for long-term weight loss, but the underlying mechanisms that result in reduced calorie intake are controversial. Anecdotal evidence from the clinic and evidence in rodents after VSG suggest a decrease in the reward value of high-calorie dense foods. Objectives: To determine changes in appetitive behavior of candies (high in sugar and fat) after VSG in adolescents with obesity. Setting: University hospital. Methods: Sixteen adolescents with obesity (age 15.3 ±.5 yr) who had VSG and 10 control patients (age 13.8 ±.6 yr) who had not undergone surgery were studied. Both groups completed a progressive ratio task by clicking a computer mouse on a progressive ratio schedule to receive a candy high in sugar and fat. In the task, patients were required to expend an increasing amount of effort to obtain the reinforcer until they reach a breakpoint (measure of the reward value of the reinforcer). The task was performed before VSG and 12 and 52 weeks after VSG. Results: The VSG group's bodyweight decreased from the baseline 136.6 ± 5.1 to 110.9 ± 5.2 to 87.4 ± 3.7 kg after 12 and 52 weeks, respectively (P <.001). The median breakpoint for candies decreased after VSG from the baseline 320 (160–640) to 80 (50–320) to 160 (80–560) after 12 and 52 weeks, respectively (P =.01). Breakpoints for the control patients did not change (480 [160–640] versus 640 [280–640], P =.17). Conclusion: VSG resulted in a reduction in the reward value of a candy, as suggested by the reduced amount of effort adolescents were prepared to expend to obtain the high-sugar and high-fat candy. The effect was most pronounced 12 weeks after surgery but was largely maintained at 1 year. Long-term attenuation of appetitive behavior may be the key to weight loss and weight loss maintenance after VSG in adolescents. © 2018

Attractive Skin Starts With Great Skin Care
Many people do not take the time to learn about skin care or to make any attempt, in properly taking care of their skin. This leads to accelerated aging and skin that is not as healthy as it should be. The following tips will help you find ways to care for your skin, in order to avoid these problems.
When you are looking for skin care products that can help you firm your skin you should look for things that contain components like green tea, aloe-vera, Shea butter, emu oil or hyaluronic acid. Many plastic surgeons agree that these help firm your skin. Look for these or a combination of them to see the results.
Years ago, men didn't think about skin care. Nowadays, if you're a man, there are two things you should be doing to your skin: cleansing and moisturizing. Fortunately, there are products available at any drugstore tailored to men's needs. A number of facial cleansers have become available just for men - some of them are for hair/face/body for maximum convenience. And many after-shave lotions now come in a scented moisturizing form, so that a man can moisturize and smell good at the same time.
To keep your skin healthy, don't smoke. Smoking causes your skin to age and it can cause wrinkles on your face. When smoking it makes the blood vessels in the outer layers of skin more narrow. This decreases the blood flowing in your face and depletes the skin of oxygen and important nutrients, needed for healthy skin.
You should apply a moisturizer to the skin after washing and toning. Moisturizers are lotions that lessen wrinkles, soften skin, and reduce dryness. Different skin types require different http://selectsecond69buster.soup.io/post/607179050/Hugely-Popular-Skin-Care-Retail-Company-Method?sessid=2873a946a94a58548b0a3a75f5d96c61 moisturizers. A person with oily skin should use a gel based moisturizer. A person with drier skin should use a cream or lotion based moisturizer.
If one lives in a dry area or has skin that dries out during the drier times of the year such as winter in can be crucial for them to use a lotion. Using a lotion or moisturizer will keep ones skin from painful cracking as a result of being too dry.
If you have extremely sensitive skin and you live in a very hot, dry climate, avoid washing your face with plain water. Many people find that in very dry weather, water washes will actually dry your skin out further. Replace it with a gentle cleanser specifically designed for sensitive skin.
To properly care for your skin, it is essential that you double-cleanse your face. The first cleansing should remove your makeup and sunscreen. The second wash should include a product that has rejuvenating properties to maximize the benefits to your skin. This two-step process is particularly important if you wear a lot of makeup.
If you have excessively dry skin, you must apply your moisturizer many times throughout the day. It is especially important to apply moisturizer after washing your hands; many people find that it is easier to remember to moisturize when they have a separate bottle in their desk, nightstand, or vehicle. Reapplying moisturizer allows the skin to fully absorb and use the nutrients in the product.
If you are trying to get clean, healthy looking skin, then you should make sure that you pat dry your body after you take a shower or after you take a bath. If you lightly pat dry, your skin will take in some of the moisture that is left on your skin, giving it a healthy look.
If you suffer from dandruff, consider using apple cider vinegar as a natural skin care remedy. When used as an after-wash rinse, apple cider vinegar can help balance your scalp's pH levels. You can also add a few drops of tea tree oil to your favorite shampoo to really tackle your dandruff problem.
One handy trick for http://livewell.jillianmichaels.com/benefits-taking-collagen-supplements-5076.html facial skin care is to lay a fresh, clean towel over your pillow before going to bed every night. The oils from your skin rub off onto your pillow and then transfer back onto your face. Pillowcases get saturated with this oil very quickly. Using a clean towel to absorb the oil will improve your complexion.
If your skin is looking unhealthy then consider taking zinc supplements or eating more foods high in zinc such as oysters. The mineral zinc helps to maintain elastic fibers and collagen which give skin its firmness and prevent wrinkles. Zinc also contributes to the healing of cuts and bruises on the skin's surface.
You can usually find coupons online for keyword priority services such as Google adwords. It would be in your best interest to attempt to build a decently sized user base for your product before using these services. This way, you can find the keywords that best drive interest to your product first. Then you can use your coupon and be assured to further boost traffic to your site and less to higher sales.
If you are dealing with the aftermath of an allergic reaction or sensitive skin issue, refrain from making the problem worse by trying to conceal redness or irritation with other cosmetic products. This can exacerbate the problem. Also the unsightly appearance of irritated skin and can also cause significant discomfort and delayed recovery.
Good, consistent skin care is required in order to maintain your healthy looking complexion. Exfoliating your skin routinely will help you maintain fresh, youthful looking skin. No matter how much cream or moisturizer you put on your skin, you will not reap any benefits unless you remove the dead and dry skin cells first by exfoliating. In addition, regular exfoliation will help to minimize break outs and unclog pores.
To keep your skin looking clear and healthy, make sure to avoid eating simple sugars. Simple sugars are high glycemic index foods break down quickly during digestion. Examples of foods with simple sugars are white bread, potatoes, and soft drinks. Simple sugars cause a spike in insulin that can increase androgen levels, stimulate sebum production and clog pores
You can treat blackheads with a daily application of a mask made of lime juice and groundnut oil. Use a teaspoon each of the two liquids. Wash your face then apply the mask. Leave it on for five minutes then rinse your face thoroughly with warm water. Follow up with cold water and a natural toner of white vinegar or witch hazel.
As mentioned at the beginning of the article, good skin care has many beneficial effects. Whether you are motivated by the desire to look good or by the desire to avoid skin cancer, limiting the sun exposure is always wise. By taking this article's advice to heart, you will find that your skin will reflect it.

Large retail banks continually struggle with high operating costs. One of the primary concerns for banking executives is banker effectiveness and profitability. With the advent of digital banking and expanded process automation, retail bankers need to optimize their time in revenue-generating activities rather than costly service activities.
One leading US retail bank partnered with ClickFox to identify the most expensive service activities for self-service migration. The focus on profitable activities is difficult for many reasons, these include but are not limited to: multiple employee customer assistance systems, various channels for customers to communicate with the bank, and ingrained customer behaviors.

You could try removing the kde packages & install packages instead - the FreeBSD-KDE people seem to suggest that's the prefered method for KDE. See http://rabarber.fruitsalad.org/index.html for the correct PACKAGESITE setting to use with portupgrade. Having said that, the latest ports have some more recent updates, so kdenetwork & one or two others will still need to be compliled from ports to get you fully up to date. I've found that method to work well for me & it saves a hell of a lot of compilation time!

Connor Morganti
April 4th, 2012
Southern belle turned Denver diva Connor Morganti has quickly made a name for herself in the Mile High City. Here, the philanthropist and financial guru shares a few of her favorites things, both above and below the Mason Dixon Line!
- My dogs, Dollar & Buck. Otherwise known as the boys, the money dogs, or the kids. They keep me laughing and definitely on my toes.
- Not so secret vice: SUGAR! I love sugar. No explanation needed.
- My peeps. Megan Quinn Mayfield, my friend and realtor, who also co-organizes Denver Divas with me. Shery "Bear" McDonald-Galbreath, Founder of SaddleUp! Foundation. I basically do whatever she tells me to. Jody Morgan, my fellow Southern Belle, who keeps me down to earth and co-organizes our group, Denver Grits.
- Can't live without. My iPad! I received it for Christmas and it goes with me everywhere. Brett just asked me, while I was reading on it, if I was ever going to pay attention to him again – maybe…
- Favorite restaurant: Brett and I rarely eat out, but when we do, we head to Strings Restaurant. I don't think I've had anything that wasn't delicious. Then we head over to D-Bar for dessert.
- My photographer: Trish Eberlein Photography. Not only is Trish excellent at what she does, but she knows how to use Photoshop very well.
- When I need to doll up: I have two favorites – Adrienne at XOXO Salon and the ladies at Fresh. Adrienne just took me back to my natural color. She always makes me look my best. And for basically everything else, I go to Fresh over in Littleton. Tina, Melissa and staff really take care of me. They do my blowouts and my manis/pedis.
- Blogging: I'm very new to blogging and it's a little scary. I share basic business situations and how to be proactive and reactive, based on a Southern Belle's point of view. You can find it at www.southernfriedbusiness.com.
- My workout: I'm currently training for the Thunder Challenge. It's a run (or jog or walk depending on your conditioning and intention) covering a distance of 10K or 6.2 miles with 20+ challenging obstacles spread out over the variable terrain course. This is the only race run by US Special Forces vets. They will be in Colorado in August.
- What I'm reading: Start with Why, by Simon Sinek. He delves into how great leaders inspire everyone to take action. Seven Secrets of Successful Women, by Donna & Lynn Brooks. I also just finished The Hunger Games trilogy. Totally Team Peeta!
- My husband, Brett. We've been married for almost 10 years and together for 16. He is also my business partner and best friend. And being an ex-Navy SEAL, I know he always has my back.
- My job. I'm blessed that I am able to help people every day, make their lives better.

the innovation recruitment game
After 20 years in the innovation recruitment game we've learned a lot about what makes a company skyrocket, and why some companies fall flat. And we took a page from our own playbook: to build teams that will be truly able to innovate and do something new, you have to throw out the old, traditional approach to hiring.
