Installing a home security camera system by homeowners and business owners has become pretty common. The installation process may though intimidate the best of us. The drilling of holes in the walls, running of wires and cables inside and outside of an apartment sound daunting.
But approaching the home security camera installation service for help isn't an appealing option either as the professional security camera installation cost is more than likely going to be enormous.
Therefore, to make your job easy, we have here the instructions that will walk you through the process of installation of wired and wireless home security cameras both inside and outside of the home.
This step-by-step security camera installation guide touches the following main points:
- Preparation for the installation process
- Material required
- The installation procedure walkthrough
Preparation For The Home Security Camera Installation
Before the installation of the surveillance cameras by yourself, you need to prepare several things ahead of time.Check an earlier related post here.
For instance, you should know exactly where the security cameras are going to be placed. And what types of security cameras you would be setting up.
This is necessary because the installation process varies for different surveillance cameras and systems. Here are a few important things to remember before installing the home security camera system:
- Review the surveillance laws in your state and country you reside in thoroughly.
- First, for a wireless home security camera, configure the WiFi settings before you even start the installation process.
- The camera's focus must be on front and backdoors. Even the windows.
- Ensure that the coverage of the camera is limited to your own property alone.
- Place cameras to ensure a maximum high-quality coverage of your property and prevent tampering or vandalizing of the same.
- Strategically plan the wiring placement to avoid it being destroyed, entangled or compromised.
- Ensure that the camera is placed at sufficient height and that it is properly sheltered from the elements.
- Ensure that the camera is pointed away from the light and that the camera view is free from obstruction.
Material Required For Home Security Camera Installation
Each camera may typically include:
- 60ft of cable
- The mounting kit including anchor, cables, etc.
- A power adapter and receiver
- A user manual
Besides that, the common everyday household tools such as drills(like the one on the right), screwdrivers will come handy during the installation of the security cameras.
How To Install Wired And Wireless Home Security Cameras by Yourself
A do-it-yourself home surveillance system installation for private use is not as complicated as one might think. Let's walk through the simple steps involved in installing both wired and WiFi home cameras:
Step 1: Mounting The Camera
For the first-timers, it is advised to carefully study the mounting hole template in order to make security camera installation much easier.
- Drill holes into the wall using the drill.
- Screw the camera in the places you have previously selected be it the wall, ceiling, or any other spot.
- Point the camera at a right angle.
- Ensure it is positioned in such a way that it has the best motion detection.
Step 2: Arranging Wires And Cables
This is the most gruesome part of the job as cables can be messy when they tangle but you can get a cable cord organizer to solve this problem. But having prepared for it in advance helps. As you have already planned the wire route, now just place the wire in its correct place.
- Drill holes at places where the wires will have to go through
- Lay down the wires neatly through the route
- Conceal the wires properly to prevent them from damage
- Each cable wire consists two wires with connectors. One of those wires is for the power supply and the other one is for the recorder.
- For the power supply, either create a single power source or plug each on different sockets.
- With DVR/NVR recorder connected, now connect the monitor.
You will now be able to see all of the images captured by the security cameras.
Step 3: Connecting Home Security Camera
Now it is time to connect the home security camera system and to check whether the power supply is working fine with the camera or not.
- Create specific sockets for the recorder and the monitor for ease and convenience.
- Plan in advance for a sudden power outage. So, ensure that the home security camera system is connected to a generator.
Step 4: Setting Up The Self-Installed Home Security Camera System
This is the last step in the home security camera do-it-yourself installation process. Since wireless security cameras can be accessed through the smartphones, desktops, laptops, and tablets, they come equipped with apps and software.
The number of surveillance features can easily be set up on the app/client, including live streaming, the motion detection, audio/video recording, zooming in/out, and much more to suit your requirements.
Also, the PoE and wireless security camera systems need setting up of motion detection sensitivity and zones to get precise and instant alerts on their free App along with the email notifications in case of any disturbances or unusual activities. So, make sure it is working fine.
If you are installing a wired security camera, a PoE wired one would be a good choice. A PoE cable offers both video and power transmission which makes the DIY installation process much easier.
If the camera has DC power adapter then a power outlet should be near the camera source. This way it is simpler to plug in the power supply inside and only extend the low voltage wire to the camera location.
Home security camera installation in a DIY manner can be a fun and a learning experience. Installing a home security surveillance system this way is undoubtedly a big money saver for the budget conscious.
By collecting the material required as stated above or investing in a high-quality toolkit like this Bosch Volt Max Brushless the installation process can be easily accomplished by following the step-by-step guide as described above.
There is no need to hire professional installers anymore. There is no need to ask for installation instructions from the manufacturers. You can easily do it yourself even if you lack confidence or are a first timer.

I haven't been been very good at maintaining this website. That's in part because this website serves no real purpose. I'm not running an online business … this site isn't meant for selling any physical goods or intangible services. I'm not an artist for hire. This is not my portfolio or online resume.
It's just a point of contact. Because I refuse to use facebook or instagram (Facebook is evil. Please don't use anything that company is connected with.), I wanted a way for people to connect with me online. Here I thought people could see what I'm up to, the kinds of things I am interested in at the moment, and a convenient way for them to send me a message.
As I don't really know that many people "in the real", I've found that I really miss that "water cooler talk" about the latest TV shows. I thought I could have a similar experience with like-minded people online. That didn't really work out. So, I'm going to try to simplify some things here.
Watch this post if, for some reason, you care what those changes might be.
What is going to Change
No longer doing "Team Blogging"
Biscuits is working on his own site. Or he will be, eventually. Right now it's just a dummy placeholder site. It was a really fun idea to blog together, like a micro media outlet but between two of us we still never posted anything. Also, I keep breaking the site while I experiment with new plugins and themes.
Fewer posts about personal issues.
Nobody cares about my poor boo-hoo personal whatever it is. Wow… nobody cares about anybody's personal challenges. I mean I like to think that, if you had a go fund me page to pay for your cancer therapy, people would have the decency not to troll you. But nobody wants to hear my personal crap.
I'm no longer doing episode recaps.
I'm not a very good writer. The recaps were terrible. Besides, with the popularity of streaming services like Netflix, nobody is waiting in suspense from week to week. Sadly that space for anticipation and conjecture is mostly gone now.
I'm removing the existing episode recaps.
Like I said, they were of really poor quality and the coverage was spotty at best. I might have had commentary for one episode here and then not again till the following season. It's actually quite embarrassing so I'm going to torch them. The irony is that for purposes of SEO, I actually restored some missing recaps just so I could create a redirect.
Certainly I watched a ton of cool stuff that I didn't share with "teh interwebz" at large. None of you sods even bothered to ask if I was still alive so… I assume you also don't care much which TV series I watch.
Minor clean-up and revision of existing content
I really should clean up the posts I'm planning to keep. Better meta data, better grammar. You won't even notice.
until later,

We're just back from the Legalweek 2018 conference in New York, where legal technology was the talk of the town. This is usually our first major legal technology event of the year, and it was a great way to start 2018. We always come back to work fired up with new ideas and new connections. If you missed it, here are a few thoughts about what dominated the discussions this year and what these conversations mean to us at Litera Microsystems.
1. Artificial Intelligence (AI)
As it has been for a while, AI wasn't a major theme for Legalweek 2018—it remains the major theme in legal technology. From technology-assisted review (TAR) and predictive coding within e-discovery to the ethical implications of letting machines making decisions, AI is still a big buzzword.
But in good news, the focus of AI is maturing. When AI was brand new, we were all excited (understandably, we think) about what it could do and how it represented the future of technology. Now, AI development is turning outward, emphasizing how it can help you, the end user. For example, AI allows us to build contract review software that can recognize the same legal concept—say, choice of law—no matter what specific words you use to express that concept. The time that this saves our customers in correctly recognizing what clauses are present and which are missing from a contract allows them to focus on the human elements of practicing law. As for e-discovery, courts no longer just tolerate AI; they now practically expect that major litigation will use AI technology for processing electronically stored information.
Legal technology companies are also helping customers by concentrating their AI efforts on cloud- and web-based user interfaces. Avoiding on-site hardware installation saves money and time by removing the need to buy expensive servers or to keep them—and their accompanying software—up to date and secure.
Finally, we were glad to see several discussions differentiating AI from automation. For all its appeal, AI isn't "better" than automation—each has its place, depending on what users need to accomplish with their technology. We were especially pleased to hear more emphasis on how legal professionals can better manage their documents and leverage automation to improve their documents. Bringing AI and automation together offers the best of both worlds, and it's what we're most excited about this year at Litera Microsystems.
2. Security and Leadership Were on Everyone's Mind
From data privacy to the European Union's imminent General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), speakers and participants everywhere were concerned about maintaining information security in an ever-more-complex world of varied data sources and silos. This year, the concern went beyond preparing for the standard cyberattack. From the very first keynote address, by former U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson, to a final panel discussion about "fake news," Legalweek set a tone that emphasized the need for broader leadership from the legal community.
We have long seen the value of keeping your documents secure and confidential, so we're glad this topic is getting the attention it deserves. We believe that legal professionals are among the best-equipped both to protect private information and to lead our communities; the dedication and measured thought that it takes to work in the law is a part of why we've always enjoyed building tools to support legal practices.
3. Costs Are Still a Driving Concern, But Metrics and Analytics Offer Solutions
Technological innovation has been a major driver of law firms' ability to control costs. But not all technology (or all innovation) saves time or money. We were interested to see several discussions of how legal professionals are using metrics and analytics to track their spending and to assess the benefits of potential tools. Visual analytics, in particular, are a key part in how data is being represented—enabling users to understand more quickly and completely where their data is and how it's being used.
If your metrics show that you're still spending too much of your valuable time wrangling documents, whether it's figuring out document formatting in the creation stage or keeping different versions straight in the collaboration phase, Litera Microsystems can help!
We are always grateful for the opportunity to attend conferences like Legalweek. We bring back more than just new contacts and fresh information: we return with a renewed curiosity and excitement about how we can improve and expand our products to better serve our customers in the year to come.

For a new pediatrician that is. Why is this so hard? I've worked for a number of pediatricians (eight to be exact - and three pediatric nurse practitioners) and I would love for any...okay, almost any of them to be located in this area.
I got a great recommendation on a pediatrician from a friend, unfortunately, he doesn't take insurance. Okay, I'll pay out of pocket and file it with my insurance. After all, it's a pediatrician, just how much can it cost? I'm sorry, what? $3,200 for a new patient visit? Cross that one off the list! So much for my theory of, "Maybe he doesn't take insurance because he doesn't want to deal with billing and collections." Clearly he's just trying to get rich.
On to the next one. I've gotten a great recommendation on this one from my Chiropractor. I call. And call. And call. Apparently my call cannot be answered (according to the automated message.) But there's not an option to leave a message either. And they seem to be an urgent care as well. And they do therapeutic massage. And medical weight loss. And a number of other things I've never heard of. Okay, maybe this isn't the best option either.
Two more offices that I've heard good things about. Two messages left. Zero calls back.

How about my own family practice doctor. Yes, it's an hour away, and I've been meaning to switch, but I really do like her. Guess what? She won't take my special needs baby. I'm hoping the receptionist meant to say, "You should really seek a pediatrician," and not "We won't take a special needs child." Well, I guess I'm looking for a new doctor now too.
Another office, another call. Their number has been disconnected. Nice.
Score - Jennifer 0 Medical Offices 6
Last chance for the day....I actually get to talk to someone, who indicates that vaccine schedules are reviewed on a patient by patient basis. So, she suggested I come in to meet with the doctor and discuss our "situation" and see if I'm happy with them before changing. This sounds promising. Fingers crossed. I'm meeting with her tomorrow.
Am I expecting too much? Maybe I've been spoiled. I received truly AMAZING care from my midwives during my pregnancy. Why can't pediatricians provide the same level of care? I don't just want someone who will agree with me. I want someone who will listen to my concerns and not just expect me to do things because they said so, or because the American Academy of Pediatrics says so.

Boone County Auditor June Pitchford painted a bleak picture Tuesday, warning county commissioners to expect stagnant or even declining sales tax revenue in the years to come.
The nearly $80 million budget proposed for 2018 has five major funds — the general fund and special funds for law enforcement, roads and bridges, children's services and emergency operations — that heavily or solely depend on sales tax revenue.
The county's sales tax woes are nothing new. The sales tax growth rate started to decline in 2015 — it dropped from 4.6 percent in 2014 to 1.9 percent in 2015. In prior years, except during the Great Recession in 2007-2009, the county experienced a sales tax growth rate ranging from 3.2 percent to nearly 7 percent.
County officials have blamed online shopping that is exempt from sales taxes as their biggest budget concern.
A year ago, Pitchford estimated the 2017 growth rate would be 1 percent, but that has since been revised to 0 percent.
The trend of sluggish sales tax growth, which accounts for more than 70 percent of the county's total revenue, might mean the county can't afford to hire additional full-time employees or increase salaries in the future, Pitchford said. Despite budget woes, the county was able to add three new, full-time positions to its payroll in the 2018 budget.
County officials should also start talking within their departments about ways to sustain and cut costs, she said.
"I think we've been able to accomplish some really good things in the 2018 budget, but the future looks, yeah, suck it in because your belt's going to get pretty tight," Pitchford said.
The county expects to have about $11.5 million in general fund reserves at the end of 2018, which is about 35 percent of total general revenue. The county expects to end the year with $35 million in reserve from all funds combined.
Flatlining sales tax could also put pressure on the county to increase its service fees, reduce services to cut costs and increase property taxes, she said. Service fees, which are collected for the 13th Judicial Circuit, public administrator's office and real estate recording, are the county's second largest source of revenue, making up 8.4 percent of county revenue.
Property tax is the third largest source of revenue at 7.3 percent. The county expects to collect more than $5.2 million in property taxes next year. Property tax revenue has steadily increased in all but two years since 2008.
Pitchford said a 3 percent growth in real estate assessed valuation and a 2.5 percent growth in assessed valuation of personal property tax is expected for next year.
The county's total property tax rate is currently a little more than 28 cents per $100 assessed — 12 cents for the general fund, a little more than 11 cents for Boone County Family Resources and 5 cents for the road and bridge fund.
Pitchford said the county's property tax rate for its general fund is less than what state law permits. Under state law, the county could have a maximum property tax rate of a little more than 31 cents per $100 assessed for the general fund.
Northern District Commissioner Janet Thompson said in an interview that she's not interested in raising fees or property taxes. Increasing fees and property taxes can't make up for what the county is losing in sales tax revenue from online purchases exempt from sales taxes, she said.
Pitchford recommended to the county commission that the county place a use tax measure on the ballot again, but first must better educate voters about a use tax to win their support.
A county-wide use tax measure failed in the Nov. 7 special election, as did use tax measures in Columbia, Ashland and Harrisburg.
A use tax would be collected on purchases from out-of-state vendors. If a use tax would have been collected for the past three years, the county would have brought in an average of more than $1 million annually.
Thompson said the use tax measure will come up again, possibly next year, but a specific election date has not been pinpointed.
Public hearings on the proposed budget will be at 7 p.m. Nov. 28, 1:30 p.m. Nov. 30 and 9:30 a.m. Dec. 5.

Seafoam and Gene Johnson were found locally with fibropapillomatosis.
With a cheering crowd surrounding them, Seafoam and Gene Johnson — two juvenile green sea turtles — swam off into the Atlantic Ocean after being rehabilitated at the University of Florida Whitney Laboratory for Marine Bioscience in Marineland.
Devon Rollingson, veterinary technician with the lab, said the release of the two turtles on Tuesday, Aug. 14, at the River to Sea Preserve area, makes a total of 21 releases with the lab. She said that Seafoam was brought in on Feb. 23 from Marineland Beach, and Gene Johnson was found on June 7 at the Intracoastal side of Summer Haven in St. Augustine, off of Gene Johnson Road.
The sea turtles were found with fibropapillomatosis (known as FP), a tumor disease that's affecting marine turtles globally. They had multiple surgeries before they were ready for release.
Rollingson said that the turtles are tagged, and should they ever be picked up in the ocean for another reason, the lab would be notified of their whereabouts.

Lawsuit seeks damages in July 4 house explosion
ST. JOSEPH (AP) — Two people injured in a Fourth of July explosion that destroyed a St. Joseph home have filed a civil lawsuit.
The St. Joseph News-Press reports that Devon Wall and Kaitlyn Pennington, of Platte City, are seeking damages in excess of $25,000. The owners of the former rental property and their tenant, Leslie Osborn, are named as defendants.
The lawsuit claims Osborn was manufacturing fireworks inside the residence at the time of the explosion. Osborn, Wall and Pennington each suffered injuries.
The owners filed a counterclaim, saying the suit should be dismissed. They allege Wall and Pennington actively participated or had direct knowledge of Osborn's activities.
No criminal charges were filed against Osborn, who doesn't have a listed phone number. A hearing is set for Wednesday in Buchanan County Circuit Court.

Ryan Edwards: Stepping Away From Teen Mom OG to Focus on Sobriety?by Tyler Johnson at .
If you've been keeping up on the life of Ryan Edwards in recent months, you know that the controversial Teen Mom OG has not had an easy time of it lately.
Granted, most of Ryan's problems are self-created, but nevertheless, many fans who remember Maci Bookout's ex from his leas troubled days have expressed concerns and sympathetic thoughts on social media.
In the past year, they've seen Ryan get arrested, lose consciousness while driving to his own wedding, go to rehab, relapse, and nearly lose custody of his son.
While there's much disagreement as to whether or not Ryan deserves a second chance, all seem to agree that if there's any possibility of redemption, it has to begin with Ryan stepping away from the reality TV spotlight in order to focus on recovery.
Will he do it? Well, that's a question only Ryan can answer ...

The Naval Brigade in Egypt and the Soudan
PO1 (Captain of the Main Top)
Henry Clark was born on 10 March 1883,
being the third son of James & Elizabeth of
West Avington, Devon. James was employed
as an agricultural labourer.
He entered the Royal Navy on 29 Mar 1870,
aged 17, on board HMS Valiant (Ironclad
Frigate of '63, employed in Coast Guard
service at Tarbert, River Shannon) as a Boy
2nd class. He was able to read & write, had no
Indenture & was literate. His attestation form
was signed by his mother Elizabeth.
Henry was to remain on Valiant, completing his
Boys training, until 28 July '73, being
promoted whilst on board to Boy 1st cl on 1
Apl '71, & Ordinary Seaman on 1 Apl '73. He
was recorded as TM(Trained Man) on 1 May '
73. This basically meant he was competent in
seamanship, boat work, sail & cordage
handling, & having received some elementary
gunnery training. He would have received a
pay raise as a TM.
His next draft was the HMS Royal Adelaide(Depot ship Devonport)
from 29 July '73 to 16 Apl '74. On 17 Apl he was drafted to his
first seagoing ship HMS Spiteful(1st class Sloop of '42). Spiteful
was originally at Portsmouth, having seen prior service on the west
coast of Africa engaged in anti slavery duties. In 1874 she was to
return to the same area where she was to see service up the River
Congo, again on anti slavery duties, into '75 & '76. On 1 Jul '76
she was employed blockading Whydah, the port of Dahomey, from
whence slave dhows were sailing.
Whilst on Spiteful Clark was promoted to AB(Able Seaman) on 26
May '75, received his first GCB (Good Conduct badge) on 1 Apl '
76, was promoted to LS(Leading Seaman) on 10 Sep '76. He left
Spiteful on 6 July '77 to enter HMS Cambridge (Gunnery ship
Devonport) on 7 July in order to qualify as Seaman Gunner. He
was to remain on Cambridge until 3 Nov '78 where he obtained his
SG1(Seaman Gunner 1st class) qualification on 17 Sep '78. He
then went to HMS Vernon (Torpedo ship, Portsmouth) to take
torpedo training until 21 Dec.
After a brief time at Cambridge until 18 Feb '79, he joins HMS
Dragon(Sloop of '78) on the 19th, being on the same day
promoted to PO2 & 2nd Captain of the Main Top.
Clark's duties would have him in charge of one of the watches on
Dragon maintaining & operating the sails, yards & rigging of the
main mast. His knowledge of seamanship at this time would have
had to be quite good & he would have been competent in all
aspects of sail & rope handling in all kinds of weather.
Dragon was slated for service on the East Indies station assigned
to suppress slavery in the Persian Gulf and east coast of Africa.
She departed Portsmouth in early March. Dragon was commanded
by Commander Edward Gray Hulton, who appointed Henry Clark
his Coxswain early in the commission.
Being appointed Captain's Coxswain was quite a desirable
aappointment for Clarke, it meant that the Captain Hulton was
satisfied with his performance in seamanship & boat work &
trusted him enough to appoint him as his Coxswain.
Clark was awarded his 2nd GCB on 1 Apl '82.
Dragon was to participate in the Egypt campaign of 1882, arriving
in the theatre the day after the July 11 bombardment. However,
Dragon landed members of her crew forming the Naval Brigade
ashore to secure the canal at Suez. Commander Hulton was
appointed: "in command of the field and machine guns of the Naval
Brigade during the occupation of the Suez from Aug 2nd" (Leans
NL). It was quite likely that Henry Clarke accompanied him in these
shore operations. The Naval Brigade occupied the town (of Suez),
the Egyptian troops fled, and the burning of the town, which had
been feared, was averted. Dragon's crew were awarded the 1882
Egypt medal, but no clasp (other than Tel-El-Kebir) was authorized
for the many subsequent 1882 operations ashore.
Whilst on Dragon Clarke was promoted to PO1 on 19 Sep '82, &
remained in his appointments as Captain of the Main Top & as Capt
Hulton's Coxswain.
HMS Dragon: A 6 gun Doterel class barque rigged screw loop,
built at Devonport Dockyard and launched on 30 May 1878.
She served in the East Indies, including the Anglo-Egyptian War of
1882, and the suppression of slavery. She was sold for breaking in
1892. She took part in the Egyptian War in 1882 under the
command of Edward Grey Hulton, landing a naval brigade at Suez.
She was sold for breaking on 24 September 1892.
He left Dragon on 31 Oct '82 & returned to
Royal Adelaide until 12 Nov when he was
drafted to HMS Cambridge to re-qualify as a
SG. He completed his requalification on 25 Jun '
83, & remained on as an Instructor until being
drafted to HMS Dryad(Sloop of '66) on 18 Dec '
HMS Dryad was assigned to the East Indies
station & the Red Sea to participate in the
1884 Soudan campaigns. Clark was again to
serve with Commander Edward Hulton who
had been appointed Captain of Dryad on 20
Nov '83. Capt Hulton again appointed Henry
Clark as his Coxswain.
Commander Hulton was a qualified Gunnery
officer & may have been at Cambridge at the
same time as Clark, & might have requested
that Clark be drafted to Dryad specifically to
serve as his Coxswain.
Upon arrival in the theatre many of Dryad's
crew went ashore at Suakin. The Naval
contingent consisted of 150 Seamen and 400
Marine's. They came from a number of ships
lying off Suakin which joined others at Trinkitat
to offload the Expeditionary Force. Some of
Dryad's officers & ratings saw action at the
Battles of El Teb & Tamaai on 29 Feb & 13
March, however Clark was not present at
either of these actions. Presumably he was
employed in some capacity with Commander
Hulton at the Suakin base.
Both Commander Hulton & Henry Clark left
Dryad on 10 Nov '84 to return to UK, Clarke
returning to HMS Cambridge until 27 Feb '85
when he was drafted to HMS Defiance.
Commissioned on 26 November '84, Defiance
became the Devonport torpedo and mining
school ship. It is likely Clark was sent there as
an Instructor, however his time there was to
end tragically on 17 July, for on that date he
died in Plymouth Hospital of unknown causes,
ie: nothing to indicate on his record his cause
of death. He was 30 yrs , 4 months of age.
Henry Clark should have qualified for a Naval
Long Service medal as he had 12 yrs, 4
months adult service. His conduct during his
career had always been Exemplary or Very
Good. Why he did not receive the medal is
Henry Clark was shown on the 1881 census as
single, presumably he was unmarried at the
time of his death.

campaign of 1884-85. Sold for breaking up in 1885.

Beijing is a safe and secured place, and here you can enjoy a variety of places. Indeed, as a foreigner you'll be often given a special consideration and leniency. Of course, you need to adhere to the laws and respect culture and customs of this country, but in general you don't need to be afraid when visiting this city.
Here are some must see places in Beijing
Forbidden City- Beijing is an old capital city that is growing at a rapid pace. Forbidden city is an ideal way to explore Beijing by opening its mysterious face. It has over 9000 rooms and it is spread across 250 acres, and it was built between 1406 and 1420.
It was burned down and was revamped and renovated for times, so most of the architecture that you witness here dates back to the 18th century in the Qing Dynasty. Ensure that you wear comfortable shoes to stroll across. Here there is a place called Starbucks and in case you need some coffee to refresh yourself.
Tiananmen Square
What is the identity of Beijing? The answers are various. But this square is unarguably on top of the list. This place lies in the heart of Beijing city, it is known for massive parades and gathering. It prides of the largest square of one of a kind in the world. This was the place when in 1949 Chairman Mao announced the establishment of People Republic of China. This square is circled by Gate of Heaven Piece in the North, the Great Hills of the People on the west ,and on national museum of China in the east. There are several monuments to the People's Heroes and Chairman Mao Mausoleum on the south.
At sunrise and sunset you'll observe the raising and lowering ceremony of the Chinese National Flag. The young troops really perform well. Ensure to be there 30 minutes to get a standing point.
Great Wall
Climbing the Great Wall is the must for no matter how busy you are! In Beijing there are majorly eight sections of the Great Wall crossing the northern part of Beijing for 600 km. The eight sections are enlisted here: Badaling, Juyongguan, Huanghuacheng, Jiankou, Mutianyu, Gubeikou, Jinshanling, and Simatai.
Majority of the sections of the Great Wall in Beijing is well preserved and the relics dates back from the Ming Dynasty, in the time for a huge construction. Fore hiking, opt for strong footwear. For warm temperatures, prepare for hat and sunglasses.

It was a 6-story building. Still under-construction, no walls, only the floor and the ceiling. I was on the terrace, on my bike – Royal Enfield Thunderbird.
The ceiling was sloping down, there were no walls to the terrace and I found myself at the edge of this slope, squeezing the front disc brakes so hard that my knuckles were shaking with the effort.
The brakes were the only thing stopping the bike from going over the edge and taking me down with it.
I was at the edge of death, barely holding the bike, couldn't let go of the brakes nor move this 350 kg (700 pound) bike back up the slope, it was just too heavy and too close to the edge.
What a place to be in!
I was terrified, helpless, weakening. A few people were on the construction site at ground level, but I had to shout to get their attention.
The situation was so precarious that I could not even shout, the first time I tried, the vibrations in my voice and body threatened the delicate "balance of life" being played out on the terrace. There would be no one to help me!
This was it. My strength was failing.I was going to fall to my death.
But this was impossible. How can I die?
Then I woke up i.e I became conscious/self-aware in the dream. I became Lucid.
As soon I realized that it was a dream, I just let go of the brakes.
And then I was falling. Time slowed down, everything was in slow-motion. But I was no longer a pawn in my dream, taking complete control – I started flying.
Flying and More
The feeling was exhilarating, every human being would love to experience it (at least in their dreams). After flying around, I tested my new-found powers in the dream.
Next target – going through walls. It felt weird going through solid walls, concrete in your face, but it worked.
I was flying through walls and found myself in an office. There were 2 pretty secretaries at their desks, time to use my new-found powers on them.
To cut short a long story, things became too exciting and I woke up from the dream. WoW!
The most interesting part of my life happens after I sleep. My "overt-the-top" "out-of-this-world" imagination plays out much to my delight.
This is my dream world.
We all dream 3-4 times in a night. But most folks don't remember their dreams.
Some think that they don't dream at all (or very rarely). Some assume that remembering dreams (or dreaming) is sign that you did not have a good night's sleep.
I feel fortunate for recalling most of my dreams. I also remember a few dreams which happened 10 years ago.
But the best thing – Quite a few of my dreams are plain AWESOME!
Just remember that our dreams seem to be very real while we are in them, the emotions or the reality is real – fear, happiness, joy, surprise, anger. We experience these feelings to the fullest in our dreams.
Lucid Dream
All these dreams are nothing compared to having a Lucid dream. However vivid a dream appears to you, it is still a dream to you. It appears so real while you dream and then you wake up to reality.
Now imagine that you actually become conscious in your dream. You become aware that you are in a dream, while you are dreaming. This is becoming Lucid.
Once you become aware that you are dreaming, the dream can be controlled. Imagine doing, being anything you want in your dream world and experiencing it with all our senses heightened.
My First Lucid dream
My dream took me back in time by 20 years, to my home town, Vijayawada. I was right outside my house.
Somehow I became aware that it was a dream, maybe because the landscape was so different from the present day.
I remembered my facts about Lucid dream and I had to do a Reality Check.
So I willed myself to fly, and I was suddenly off the ground.
I landed 500 meters ahead. A short ride, but OMG I flew!
Then I woke up. Being in control felt so real and incredible. But if a dreamer gets over-excited they wake up, I guess that happened to me.

Puppies are guaranteed an optimal diet while they're exclusively fed on their mother's milk, but after about twenty days they already show an interest in certain solid foods and are able to swallow them. It's very important that the transition from breast milk to solid foods takes place gradually so that the pup's organism can segregate the necessary enzymes and that their digestive system modifies the bacterial flora to make them accustomed to swallowing solid food. To achieve this, there really should be an intermediate phase of bottle-fed semi-solid food, in which milk specially designed for puppies is mixed with prepared food appropriate to their size, breed, etc. There are two options for this:
- The food can either be left to soak in the milk until it softens; or
- It can be mashed up in a blender and added to the special milk for puppies.
This transition phase is very important to prevent the puppy from developing food allergies and/or digestive problems.
Once this phase is over, we should choose a high-quality feed specially formulated to feed puppies according to their ultimate size when they're adults.
Diet is very important throughout our furry friend's life, as we've seen in other articles, due to the importance of the biological value of proteins and the importance of antioxidants for health in general and a strong immune system. However, all these aspects play a particularly important in the growth phase, for the following reasons:
- We could say that proteins are the 'building bricks' of the future dog. They have to be of a high quality, contain the essential amino acids that the puppy's body cannot produce and guarantee a very high biological value, both in terms of digestion and metabolism.
- The ratio between macro- and micro-minerals and vitamins must be exact because, for example, a vitamin D3 deficit will prevent stop calcium from being properly absorbed, or an excess of vitamin A can lead to bone malformations.
- Essential fatty acids such as linoleic acid and linolenic acid are essential for skin health and for a shiny coat, but can also even influence the ability to learn. I know this may come as a surprise, but breast milk (both human and canine) contains docosahexaenoic acid, which has a major influence on the central nervous system and plays a vital role in creating neuronal connections during the puppy's brain development.
These examples underline the key importance of choosing a high-quality prepared food to guarantee that our puppies ingest the essential nutrients for a correct development not just of their musculoskeletal system but also of their immune system. This also ensures the optimal functioning of their central nervous system, which is so decisive for issues related to cognitive processes and learning. That's why our nutrition experts are creating increasingly specific formulas that meet the individual nutritional needs of puppies based on their ultimate size and/or their specific breed, providing an intake of nutrients that guarantees an optimal development of all the systems that will make up the adult dog.
There's nothing more rewarding for dog lovers than watching a puppy grow and seeing its milestones each day, so we should play a role in what's actually down to us: selecting a quality diet proven to help our puppy to develop their body and grow in the best possible conditions.

Redo laparoscopic pyeloplasty in children
Epublication WebSurg.com, May 2016;16(05). URL: http://websurg.com/doi/lt03enelghoneimi010
Redo pyeloplasty surgery is not rare. It can be rendered necessary in the long run, several years after the initial operation. Perioperative adhesions account for the fact that it is extremely difficult to perform a redo surgery using a retroperitoneal access. Transperitoneal access is the only logical approach in these circumstances. Surgery is uneasy. Only a few surgical pediatric teams have real expertise in this field.

When sending high-volume mailings to thousands or even millions of claimants/constituents, entities are exposed to economic and professional reputational risks if the execution of the mailing is flawed or if confidential claimant information is exposed. Hiring a provider that will deliver secure, accurate, and timely notices is of paramount importance. Experienced providers with many year of industry experience designing processes and protocols that mitigate risks associated with high-volume mailings while also establishing safeguards to protect claimant information is your best choice.
Filed under: claims, claims administration, corporate restructuring
As a claims administration professional, one of the first questions my clients ask me is, "how can we get more claims?" Maximizing the claim filing rate helps to ensure that the class benefit reaches as many class members as possible, which now more than ever is an important factor in obtaining final approval. Once the parties have agreed on the settlement, generally there is an agreement to maximize the claim filing rate. Since it benefits both parties, it makes sense to implement some common sense practices.
Filed under: claims, claims administration, class action, class action noticing
Many employers require workers and contractors to agree to have all employment-related disputes settled in individual arbitration and to waive the right to engage in collective proceedings or class action lawsuits. But are such waivers enforceable? On October 2, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments on just this question. Read on to find out what they decided.
Filed under: case law, claims administration, class action, class action noticing, collective action
Federal courts in the U.S. favor an "opt-out" system for class action suits. While this system allows consumers with small individual claims to hold defendants accountable, it does have detractors. Critics of the "opt-out" system claim that it leads to excessively large groups of plaintiffs, who may not be interested in participating, or even be aware that they are involved. In other parts of the world, however, courts often require class members to opt in, not out.

The association of serum insulin-like growth factor I (s-IGF-I) with favorable outcome after ischemic stroke (IS) beyond 2 years is unknown. We investigated whether the levels of s-IGF-I 3 months post-stroke were associated with functional recovery up to 7 years after IS, considering also mortality and recurrent strokes.Patients (N=324; 65% males; mean age, 55 years) with s-IGF-I levels assessed 3 months after the index IS were included from the Sahlgrenska Academy Study on Ischemic Stroke (SAHLSIS). The modified Rankin Scale (mRS) was used to evaluate outcomes at 3 months, 2 and 7 years after IS, and recovery was defined as an improvement, no change, or deterioration in the shifts of mRS score. Baseline stroke severity was determined using the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS).The mRS score distributions were better in the above-median s-IGF-I group (>146.7 ng/ml). The s-IGF-I level was not associated with recurrent stroke (N=79) or death (N=44), although it correlated with recovery (r=0.12, P=0.035). In the regression analysis, s-IGF-I associated with recovery between 3 months and 7 years (but not between 2 and 7 years). The associations did not withstand adjustment for age and sex. For comparison, the corresponding associations between 3 months and 2 years withstood all adjustments.The association for s-IGF-I with long-term post-stroke recovery persists after 7 years, which is also reflected in the mRS score distributions at all time-points. The effects are however modest, and not driven by mortality or recurrent stroke.

Now we are using FS32K148UJVLQ to design a product. I heard it is possible to generate the "click" sound by buzzer instead of the speaker cicuit to save cost.
I thought if it is by the way of mixing the output frequency or PWM of MCU. Does this MCU have frquency/PWM mixture function? by which ways? Do you have this experience to generate sounds like "click","ki-ta" or the turn left/right of instrument cluster by buzzer?

My favorite place to paddle! I love the Pigeon River... especially when it is calm like it was the evening that I made this image. The upper Pigeon River is a wildlife paradise. Every time I venture out on the river I see at least a few different critters. Beavers are almost guaranteed, as are a few different species of waterfowl. Kingfishers are sometimes seen patrolling the banks of the river, and now and then a Moose or two will show up. I've even been lucky enough on more than one occasion to see a Black Bear swimming across the river! Oh, I almost forgot to mention the Otters and Muskrats! Muskrats are seldom seen, but I almost always see at least one Otter when I visit the river. I'm heading up now to spend the late afternoon and evening on the river… I wonder what I will see today?

July Moon over Pete's Island
The moon over Grand Portage Bay last night was incredible. The image you see here was captured not long after sunset, after the last of the sunset color has faded from the sky and all that is left is the blue glow of dusk. I love shooting the moon when its low in the sky, as you can usually capture an incredible reflection of the moonlight on the water. I hope you all had a chance to see the moon last night. If not, well… it will be out again tonight!

Morning Harebells at the Spirit Tree
Sometimes it pays to force yourself to try something different. On a recent sunrise shoot at the Spirit Tree, I used only my Canon G11 point-and-shoot camera and not my usual "big" camera - the Canon EOS 5D Mark II. Using the G11 forces me to look for different compositions, something more "unique" than the typical landscape shots that I tend to look for when using the Canon 5D Mark II camera. This image is the result of that morning's search for something different. I always notice the Harebell flowers when visiting the tree in the summer, yet I've never before tried making an image that shows both the flowers and the tree. The G11 with its rotating viewfinder screen allowed me to make this image. Since the flowers were on the side of a rock and very close to the surface of the water, I don't think I would have been able to compose this shot using my bigger camera.

Summer's Eve at Hollow Rock
This is the first image I've made at Hollow Rock in quite some time. Hollow Rock is one of my favorite places to photograph in winter, but for some reason I don't go there much in the summer. I don't know why, since it is a great place to shoot no matter what the season. At any rate, this image was made at 9:37 p.m. It is a 30 second exposure shot with the aid of a 3-stop reverse-graduated neutral-density filter. The hardest part about making this image was tolerating the mosquitoes. They were AWFUL!

Lake Superior Wood Lily
My dad told me about these nice Wood Lilies that were blooming on the shoreline in front of their house... of course I had to check them out! I intentionally shot this "wide open" (aperture f5.6 at 400mm) with my Canon 100-400 lens to create a shallow depth of field and give the image a "dreamy" look.

Little Brick Lichen
Little Brick Island - Grand Portage, MN. We had really nice clouds the whole evening, which made it one of the most enjoyable photography outings I've ever had to the Susie Islands. The sun was at my back and behind the clouds when I made this image, which meant that the foreground was very dark. I used my Singh-Ray 3-stop reverse-grad neutral-density filter to help balance the exposure. I got some nice images of the sunset as well on this outing, but this is my favorite image of the day. This was taken about an hour before sunset.

Lovely summer day on Lucille Island
Today Lake Superior displayed an incredibly calm mood that is rarely seen. I couldn't pass up the opportunity the lake was presenting, so I headed out in my boat and spent the day photographing and exploring the islands that are near my home. In the afternoon some really nice clouds started to show up. Adding a polarizer filter to my lens really helped to accent the clouds as well as cut the glare from the water, so the shallow rocks and reefs could really show up in the images. It was an incredible day to be on the water!

Why Magnesium is the Most Powerful Relaxation Mineral Known to Man
The Journal of Intensive Care Medicine published a study which showed that magnesium deficiency doubles the chances of death, and causes numerous diseases and health issues.
Even though it can be used as a preventative measure, more than half of the population in the United States lacks it. Magnesium is the most powerful relaxation mineral, it improves sleep, and is an antidote to stress.
Doctors use magnesium all the time, and not many are aware of the reason for it. This critical "medication" is given in the case of a life-threatening arrhythmia intravenously, and in the case of constipation or a preparation for a colonoscopy, patients receive milk of magnesia or a green bottle of liquid magnesium citrate.
Moreover, continuous high doses of intravenous magnesium are given to pregnant women who come in with pre-term labor, or high blood pressure of pregnancy (pre-eclampsia) or seizures.
Magnesium relaxes, so every single sign of irritation, tightness, stiffness, and cramps in the body is actually a sign of its deficiency.
Magnesium is responsible for more than 300 enzyme reactions and is found in all body tissues, yet, mainly in the brain, bones, and muscles. Therefore, it is needed for muscle relaxation, energy, membrane stability, and the function of many chemical pumps.
Magnesium deficiency is common and causes numerous health conditions. Yet, it is still being ignored, and numerous people lack it.
If you experience any of the following symptoms, you might be one of them:
– Asthma
– Anal spasms
– Autism
– Anxiety
– Angina
– Chronic fatigue
– Constipation
– Diabetes
– Fibromyalgia
– Headaches
– High blood pressure
– Irritable bladder
– Irritable bowel syndrome
– Insomnia
– Irritability
– Kidney stones
– Migraines
– Muscle cramps or twitches
– Menstrual cramps
– Obesity
– Osteoporosis
– Palpitations
– Reflux
– Sensitivity to loud noises
– Trouble swallowing
The deficiency of this mineral has also been found to cause inflammation in the body and higher CRP levels.
These days, numerous people are magnesium deficient, as even 65 percent of people admitted to the intensive care unit, and 15 percent of the general population, suffer from it.
The main reason for this is the modern diet which lacks magnesium, and it is high in refined, highly processed foods, meaning that it is based mostly on white flour, meat, and dairy. On the other hand, we rarely consume beans, nuts, greens, and sea vegetables.
Plus, the levels of magnesium in the body are lowered due to antibiotic use, diuretics (water pills), excess alcohol, salt, coffee, phosphoric acid in colas, prolonged or intense stress, chronic diarrhea, profuse sweating, excessive menstruation, and some intestinal parasites. A study conducted in Kosovo showed that people under chronic war stress lost high amounts of magnesium in their urine.
Furthermore, this mineral is often poorly absorbed and easily lost from our bodies, so it needs vitamin D, B6, and selenium, to help its absorption.
The conclusion of a recent scientific review of magnesium is that "It is highly regrettable that the deficiency of such an inexpensive, low-toxicity nutrient results in diseases that cause incalculable suffering and expense throughout the world."
Fortunately, magnesium deficiency is easy to correct, and this is how:
– Avoid medications which lead to magnesium loss, such as diuretics and high blood pressure drugs
– Limit the intake of coffee, colas, salt, sugar, and alcohol
– Practice active relaxation
– Consume foods rich in magnesium, such as parsley, figs, garlic, almonds, soy beans, dulse, millet, rye, avocado, kelp, wheat bran, wheat germ, cashews, buckwheat, Brazil nuts, filberts, pecans, walnuts, tofu, rice, dates, collard greens, shrimp, barley, dandelion and greens.
– Enjoy an Epsom salts bath (magnesium sulfate)
– Take magnesium supplements
In the case of most minerals, it is best to take them in a combination with other minerals.
The best forms you can take include glycinate taurate, or aspartate, magnesium citrate, as well as magnesium bound to Kreb cycle chelates (malate, succinate, fumarate). On the other hand, avoid magnesium carbonate, sulfate, gluconate, and oxide, as they are poorly absorbed.
The RDA (the minimum amount needed) for magnesium is about 300 mg daily, and most people get less than 200 mg. Still, most people benefit from 400 to 1,000 mg daily.
Note that if you are suffering from a kidney disease or severe heart disease, you should consult your doctor before taking magnesium.
Magnesium is a real relaxation miracle, so if you experience any f the symptoms listed above, make sure you optimize its levels in your body and thus ensure your optimal health.

Because thine heart was tender, and thou didst humble thyself before God, when thou heardest his words against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, and humbledst thyself before me, and didst rend thy clothes, and weep before me; I have even heard thee also, saith the Lord. (II Chron. 34:27 KJV).
Advocates of so-called "preparationism" among the Puritans sometimes taught that the natural man is capable of having a "tender" heart and even the ability to humble themselves "in preparation" for regeneration and salvation.
Rev. Martyn McGeown
[Source: Protestant Reformed Theological Journal, vol. 41, no. 1 (Nov. 2007), p. 67.]
Sibbes [in support of his teaching on preparationism] appeals to the example of King Josiah who was commended for having a tender heart (II Chron. 34:27), but we must insist that Josiah was already a believer. God had already regenerated the king. That explains why he responded to the discovery of the law with heart-felt sorrow over his sins and the sins of the nation. This was no self-preparation of an unregenerate sinner but obedience by a child of God.
More to come! (DV)

Unemployment is one of the most difficult stages of the life of every adult. Many people out of frustration have had to resort to illegal and unsolicited means to survive.
Prostitution is on the rise in this country, armed robbery, vigilantism etc, have all increased in recent years, because of lack of job opportunities for the youth of this country.
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and the New Patriotic Party (NPP), during the electioneering campaign in 2016, made Ghanaians to believe that, they have the magic wand to solve all their problems, especially unemployment.
Owing to the huge demand and increasing population that desire to be literate, the National Accreditation Board (NAB), has accredited some institutions to offer tertiary training to the youth of this country and nursing is one.
Trainee nurses, over the years, like their counterparts in teacher training institutions, are bonded to serve the country and so their employment immediately after school is the responsibility of the government.
With the introduction of private nursing institutions duly accredited by the NAB, government is finding it difficult to absolve both the bonded nurses and those trained at the private institutions.
The lazy approach by our leaders of solving problems and refusing to take advantage of opportunities that are before us, is the reason why trained nurses, have had to picket at the Ministry of Health before they are posted.
Despite the fall in standard of education, our graduates and certificates are considered the best, compared to other African countries. It is about time, we start thinking of training more nurses and exporting them.
Dr. Kweku Agyeman Manu, who is a minister today, based on the lies told trained nurses that, they will be offered jobs, is now telling privately trained nurses that, the government cannot employ them.
Such arrogance and backward attitude is the reason why, the youth are losing faith in the system and are rising against the leaders.
Every problem has a solution, our hospitals and clinics are crying for lack of staff. The Ghana Health Service, last week released alarming statistics about the number of babies dying every minute in the country, citing lack of nurses as one of the reasons.
The utter disregard for the plight of these trained private nurses is appalling.

I love this lipstick. It stays on for awhile and is a very pretty color. My only problem is the applicator tip. It is shaped oddly so when you put it on it leaves lines in the lipstick because its cut at an angle that makes it scrap off what you've already applied. Also, if you put a little too much on it can feel heavy on your lips. Besides that I'm in love with this lipstick, the color, and how long it stays.
These colors really last without being drying. And for $6!!! Great pigmentations and funky colors. Luv it!
The best experience Ever this is the shade I've been dying to get... for the price, the application, and color you can't go wrong... can't wait to order from y'all again thanks for adding more colors !!!! P.s. is there a charcoal grey matte lipstick that could be put out ? Even a brown matte ? Love love your products
This is a new lipstick line for me, I am obsesse with matte lipstick, so I like to try different brands. This is my first time trying karity matches color lipstick. Great price, pretty color, it spreads on smoothly, I did have to add a few coats of lipstick, because it comes on very thin. Overall great product.

Seven Metal Meditation Gong
Meditation Suspension Gong with Antique Finish & Wooden Striker
Beautiful seven metals meditation gong with decorative metal designs, wooden stand, and wooden mallet.
What is a Meditation Gong?
Meditation gongs are actually a unique type of musical instrument. The two most prevalent types are suspended gongs and singing bowls. Both are generally used during group or individual meditation to produce harmonious tones and vibrations designed to enhance the meditation experience.
The exact origins of meditation gongs are unknown, but it is believed that they were developed during ancient times, perhaps as early as 2000 B.C. Most likely, they originated in the area of Tibet. Originally, these types of gongs were used primarily during religious ceremonies. Over time, however, they have become increasingly popular for use in other, nonreligious practices, such as yoga and transcendental meditation.
The type of meditation gong referred to as a suspended gong looks like what most people might envision when they think of a gong. A suspended gong is a metal disc, typically made of copper, bronze, or some combination, that is hung on a frame of some sort. The frame can be as simple as two wooden rods, as a complex as an ornate arc, or anything in between. The size of the metal disc also varies, and while some can be small enough to sit on a person's desktop, others can be large enough to take up an entire wall.

eXtensions - Wednesday 5 April 2017
A Busy Week for Apple and Me in Bangkok (Bangkok Post, Life)
By Graham K. Rogers
On Tuesday afternoon, I saw the new (Product) RED iPhones and some new Apple Watch bands. I was also shown a preview of the upcoming Clips app, which will be available this month. When I pressed for a date, I was just told, "April."
Data began appearing within minutes as usual, with apps coming down later. I made a mistake when I unpaired the Apple Watch from the current iPhone and tried to pair it with the new one. This was running iOS 10.2.1 and needed 10.3 as I had already updated the Watch. With the size of the download, there were delays, although downloads had been problem-free in the morning.
iPhone 7 Plus in the box (left); and downloading apps
As the Thai recording, movie and video production industries are highly thought-of, Cupertino sent some of its experts to show off these powerful applications; but first, partly because of the way these apps have been updated, there was an outline of the new MacBook Pro. While the presentation slides had been prepared in the USA, the presenter mentioned some of my comments on the Mac and its Touch Bar that had been in the Bangkok Post.
With its most recent updates, the use of the Touch Bar has been integrated into the workflow and some of the editing processes have become more efficient because of this.
I later found a help series from 9to5 Mac. The four parts available so far are available as YouTube videos. The links are at the bottom of the page in Logic Pros (101): Tips to supercharge your recording, editing, & workflow (Justin Kahn).
There are also written articles:
He first used clips from a documentary to show how the video can be manipulated in real time and how rendering takes place in the background. Both with Final Cut and Logic, the amount of processing power used by the Mac was comparatively low. Titles are pre-installed and are now so good that, in a demonstration of the new Will Smith movie, Focus, he showed how the producers used those from Final Cut rather than sending the work to a title house as is normal.
At the end, the demonstration computers provided were surrounded by those attending, and presenters were overwhelmed by questions. The morning session had also generated much interest. I did manage to ask Tristram a couple of questions about displays and downloading the application (10,500 baht). He suggested I first access the trial version which is full-featured and works for 30 days.

Over the weekend I recorded some video using the trial version of Final Cut, trying to follow what I remembered of Luke Tristram's demo. Familiarity will help, but I was able to teach myself some of the processes. I will also need to think about cameras in the future. With the output, I later uploaded a couple of videos to my eXtensions YouTube channel which has not seen much activity so far.
That will change.
Trying out Final Cut Pro
Graham K. Rogers teaches at the Faculty of Engineering, Mahidol University in Thailand. He wrote in the Bangkok Post, Database supplement on IT subjects. For the last seven years of Database he wrote a column on Apple and Macs. He is now continuing that in the Bangkok Post supplement, Life. He can be followed on Twitter (@extensions_th)
