Need Experience and Knowledge
Dear Editor:
This year more than ever, experience and knowledge matter.
I want to thank the community for electing me to serve on the school board – it is an honor to work on behalf of the wonderful children in the Sag Harbor School District. Sandi Kruel and Theresa Samot have been my colleagues on the school board for several years, and while we don't agree on every issue, I can personally attest that they are exceptional board trustees.
First and foremost, Sandi and Theresa are champions for children. They tirelessly advocate on behalf of all students, whether for educational excellence and opportunities, in support of extracurricular activities, on wellness initiatives, or ensuring we have the right facilities. Also during their tenure, they have helped to dramatically increase transparency and greatly improve the fiscal health of the district.
I have heard some people push for the importance of new, fresh perspectives on the school board. This will occur regardless of the outcome of the upcoming election, since a couple of remaining board members are still new and serving their first term. What is critical and highly encouraged by the New York State and National School Board Associations, is having tenured members who have institutional knowledge and experience to help lead the board's efforts. This is particularly true in the work we do relating to contract negotiations with our unions. Both Sandi and Theresa have demonstrated a commitment to negotiating with a deep respect for the employees of Sag Harbor, while being cognizant of what is best for our children and sustainable for the taxpayers. With most of our union contracts currently up for negotiation, it is imperative to have our most experienced Trustees — Sandi and Theresa — remain to help get this and other important work accomplished.
This year more than ever, experience and knowledge matter. On Tuesday, May 16, I encourage you to join me in voting on the school budget, and voting for Sandi Kruel and Theresa Samot for school board trustees.

To the Editor,
This year's election for trustees of the board of education is a particularly important one. Sandi Kruel is one candidate who stands out in the crowd.
Our community needs the vision, stability, harmony and leadership that experience brings. There are three incumbents running for election, one of whom is a relative newcomer to the board; two others with no experience are candidates as well. Three members on the board whose terms are not due for re-election are also relative newcomers with no more than three years of service as trustees. Of course new ideas are imperative to explore; perspective balanced with experience is what makes an organization most effective.
When my late husband Bob Schneider was appointed as Pierson's principal 24 years ago we immediately moved to Sag Harbor and made it our home. I was fortunate to be appointed principal of Westhampton Beach Elementary School at the same time. Together we brought experience from several organizations including Shoreham-Wading River, Riverhead, New York City, Diocese of Brooklyn, Nassau and Eastern Suffolk BOCES, Teacher Centers and the National Institute of Mental Health. I've served Sag Harbor as consultant on drug and alcohol prevention and art education as well as interim PPS director and assistant principal. I serve as a board member of the Sag Harbor Coalition. Bob and my combined professional experience exceeded 64 years. During those years we worked closely with superintendents, boards of education, teachers, parents and children — most importantly children.
We learned a lot about the traits and characteristics of effective leadership. Leaders listen, look, learn and lead at the same time. Leaders are passionate, committed, knowledgeable and loyal. Leaders express themselves strongly and cooperate with colleagues just as strongly. Leaders focus their efforts on what is most important — kids! Leaders bring experience and perspective. Leaders put their egos aside for the greater good. Leaders know how to put sound research into practice.
Sandi Kruel is such a leader. Her continuance on the board of education will keep us on the same trajectory we are on now. I ask that you join me in supporting her re-election.
Yours truly,
Marian Cassata

Need to Maintain Stability
To the Editor,
Thank you for moderating Meet the Candidates night last week. For those community members unable to attend that panel discussion, please permit me to tell a little about myself. Born and raised in Sag Harbor, I attended our schools, married, and raised three sons here. Our youngest son is a freshman at Pierson. Our family's commitment to children extends beyond our own three sons. My husband Kevin and I have been appointed by NYS as foster parents.
After having served on the Sag Harbor Board of Education for two terms, I took six years off and was then re-elected for two terms. I am seeking another term. The perspective I bring includes parenting at all grade levels kindergarten through post-secondary education. My experience includes being a member of board of education, PTSA president and PTA president. Either as a board member or community member I have served on each and every committee. I advocate for children with special needs across Long Island.
Working side by side with fellow board members along with district and school administrators my record of accomplishments speaks for itself:
– Ours is the only district on the East End to come in under the tax cap without layoffs or reducing staff or programs. In fact, we have increased staff and added instructional, extracurricular and athletic programs.
– Building projects at both schools have added and renovated space:
*Pierson's library, cafeteria, Middle School gym, three science labs, two art rooms, two music rooms, a dozen classrooms, computer labs, auditorium, dressing rooms and more.
*Elementary School's green house, library, computer lab, music room, main office and a half dozen classrooms.
– Instructional programs include expanded AP course offerings, IB program, robotics, drama, Spanish as a second language from K to 5 and others.
These are the result of our cohesive team's hard work, diligence and commitment; I am honored to be part of the effort. My passion for the success of all children is strong and leads me to ask the community for their vote on Tuesday, May 16.
At this particular point in time experience counts. I believe it is essential to have someone on the board who brings perspective, knowledge and collegiality to the table. Stella Maris' redevelopment begins soon; I've seen construction projects through from start to finish.
Five of six union contracts are in negotiation; I've been on teams that have negotiated more than a dozen. In doing so, it is vitally important to me that we recognize the importance of all our employees who are the core of our children's achievement, the backbone of our district.
It is vital that we maintain stability, continue fiscal responsibility, create a safe, healthy and green environment and commit to excellence for all children.
With humility I ask our community for their support in this important election.
Sincerely yours,
Sandi Kruel

Promote Wellbeing
Dear Editor,
I am a mother of two young children in the Sag Harbor Elementary School with my older son heading into Pierson Middle School in September. As such, I have been interested in getting to know more about the board of education, its proceedings and its members. There are seven members on the board and next Tuesday, May 16, there are three seats up for reelection. While I want to express my gratitude for all the tireless work and efforts our members have put into trying to improve and expand upon the system for our children and community, I firmly believe that we need fresh, positive and collaborative people to build on the school's success and help the district reach its full potential.
In the last eight years alone we have seen multiple resignations after fractured tenures amongst the school superintendents, athletic directors, business officials and board of education members. We must stop this revolving door of administrators if we expect to see any long-term progress or hope to see any policies come to fruition.
Having known Diana Kolhoff for a few years I am confident that she is an extremely capable, measured, well-informed and cooperative president and I hope to see her retain her position on the board. Recently, I had the opportunity to meet with Alex Kriegsman and January Kerr and was impressed by their credentials, cognizance and compassion (both are lawyers as well as being parents of young children in the Sag Harbor Elementary School). All three of these individuals embody a thoughtful, thorough and well-versed perspective on multiple BOE policies and eschew any kind of narrow-minded management or petty infighting that runs contrary to the essential spirit of the board, namely to promote and protect the educational, physical, emotional, social and mental wellbeing of Sag Harbor's school children, families and the community at large.
I believe re-electing Mrs. Kolhoff as well as voting for Mr. Kriegsman and Mrs. Kerr will better enable the board to help deliver world class education to Sag Harbor as well as implementing constructive change on the most important issues at hand.
Thank you for your consideration.

Put Experience to Work
Dear Editor:
My name is Alex Kriegsman and I am running for the Sag Harbor School Board. As a parent of three young children, there is nothing more important to me than our schools. I see a school district with enormous potential – a wealth of resources, committed parents and supportive community members. I would like to put my experience as an attorney and a former federal prosecutor to work for our kids and help us reach that potential.
The IB program at Pierson has been very successful. But it is still in the early stages. I would push to expand the program and make it available to middle school as well as high school students. I would also like to see an increased focus on vocational training. We live in a community with great business opportunities for carpenters, plumbers, electricians and other trades. Yet too many of these jobs are awarded to businesses in western Long Island.
We should give our kids the opportunity to begin learning these trades in school and have more employment opportunities upon graduation.
Our student athletics programs are one the pillars of our community. There is no better way for our kids to learn the rewards of hard work, integrity, sportsmanship, and interacting with others. It is also a great way for us to interact as a community and support our student athletes. We should be giving our coaches and athletic director the resources and support they need to do their jobs. I would also like to see us make it easier for parents, students and other community members to attend games – through better announcement of events and perhaps a shuttle from Pierson to Mashashimuet Park.
Ethics and Professionalism.
As a former federal prosecutor, I have worked on difficult cases and helped solve intractable problems. I also learned the importance of resolving differences through mutual respect and consideration. The school board should be a model to the community by conducting its business in an open, honest and professional manner, free of personal conflict.
Anyone who has attended a school board meeting is likely to have left in frustration. Meetings seem to drag on interminably, with many hours spent discussing materials that seemingly could have been reviewed in advance. It is not clear that the New York State Open Meetings Law is being followed. And it is much too difficult for members of the public to express their opinions. If elected, I will push to have an open public input at the outset of every meeting, and prepared board members who have read materials in advance and are ready to conduct business in a more open and efficient manner.
Although we are all running individually, I am also supporting Diana Kolhoff and January Kerr in this election. Diana is a hard-working parent and educator who has done a great job as board president. I would like to give her the support she needs to lead the school community forward. January is a parent of two young children, a smart and hard-working attorney who is dedicated to this community and committed to its success. She would be a great addition to the board.
Whoever you are supporting, please vote on May 16th. Our democracy works best with maximum participation. Thank you for your consideration.
Alex Kriegsman

Stacked with Winners
Dear Editor:
Two weeks ago when Sandi Kruel said; "I am ready for a break," and Theresa Samot said she is "…still contemplating running this year," that was a clear message that they weren't sure. They've been of service forever, so much heartfelt gratitude to them for a decade of community service. However, Stephanie and I heard those messages clearly so we went to Meet The Candidates to see what was going to happen next. Luckily we have a teacher's teacher in Diana Kolhoff who still volunteers to continue for a second term, hopefully as board president, and two local attorneys have stepped up.
I know Alex Kriegsmann professionally, and January Kerr we met recently. Both new candidates, who are also parents, double as seasoned attorneys. They both have decades of conflict resolution experience. Heading into more contract negotiations, we would do well to stop the revolving door while we have a school administration currently stacked with winners. Both new candidates have elementary school kids, and the incumbent president refuses to make plastic signs or throwaway buttons. Three enthusiastic, qualified, seasoned, principled advocates for our kids and our teachers in Kerr, Kriegsman and Kolhoff. Let's not ever take that luck for granted.
Sag Harbor schools have shared sports, and are important to our multi-sport family. We also remember the oil and vinegar contract negotiations that disrupted the whole district for years while we had a child in the elementary school. Connected to that is possibly a fast turnover in administration which should stop on a dime, in my opinion. Today is good. Our people running the schools can do that and we would do well to elect the board who backs them up with the most enthusiasm, even if they have to occasionally run interference with the noisy public. Myself included.

Neckband Bluetooth headphones are prominent for the call quality and battery life, Sony last year joined the mid-range neckband headphones market with the Sony WI-C400. Previously Sony announced two high-end neckband models, the active noise cancelling WI-1000X and the WI-H700 but in terms of battery life none of them can last as long as WI-C400.
Like most of Sony wireless headphones, the WI-C400's control is intuitive and easy to use. While the WI-C400 are generally decent for fit and comfort and their call quality is above average, the sound quality would be better with more bass and pleasant treble.
The neckband is not as flexible as Skullcany Ink wireless or LyreBeats-NB1, instead the band is hard-plastic case. Nevertheless it is pretty lightweight, and it feature a motor that vibrates when there is a call. The neckband is basic and solid. A nice feature that you can shorten the cable by cable adjuster and stopper (the ball) – keep things neat around your neck.
The control buttons are on the left, including power-button and volume controls they are responsive and feel solid once pressed. The mic is also on the left-remote, the earbuds are compact and small but feel quite cheap (just like other cheap Sony earbuds).
Spec that matters
- Driver size: Dynamic 9mm
- Frequency response: 8Hz – 22kHz
- Charing time: 4.5 hours
The battery life of C400 is rated at 20 hours, which is longer than most wireless neckband headphones's battery in the category. But it also comes with a compromise that the time for charging is 4.5 hours, and no quick-charging feature is built in.
The C400's bass isn't plentiful, but it is still there and punchy. The mid-range is smooth and natural. The treble is dedicated and quite aggressive and sometimes feel edgy.
The Bottom Line: Focus on battery life, easy of use the Sony C400 offer the standards that every neckband Bluetoth headphones offer. And what makes them worth more is solid design, balance sounding profile and comfortable fit.
- Solid build-quality
- Impressive battery life
- A bunch of color options
- Vibration on in-coming calls
- Comfortable and lightweight
- Balanced sound is suitable for a lot music genres
- Strong bass
- No sweatproofing feature
- Average treble performance

FALMOUTH — Nearly 50 years after it first started, the Cape Cod Scallop Festival will not take place in 2018.
There "are lots of different reasons" for not holding the festival this year, said Marie Oliva, president and CEO of the Cape Cod Canal Region Chamber of Commerce, which puts on the annual event.
The event, which grew into a three-day affair, including a juried arts-and-crafts show, midway, car show and live entertainment, was a "risky and expensive" chamber fundraiser, Oliva said.
"It's weather related," Oliva said. "It's based on attendance."
This past September the festival at the Cape Cod Fairgrounds in East Falmouth "lost two days due to remnants of a hurricane," Oliva said. "That really hurt us."
According to the chamber's 2015 tax filings, the scallop festival brought in nearly $300,000 that year but cost about $230,000 to put on.
The festival — which was previously called the Bourne Scallop Fest and then simply the annual Scallop Festival — was moved from Buzzards Bay to the fairgrounds in 2014 to accommodate more parking and growing crowds. The chamber also had numerous issues with flooding and gusty winds, creating "untenable" risk and liability for the tents in downtown Buzzards Bay, according to organizers.
Billed as New England's largest scallop festival, the event has attracted hundreds of thousands of visitors since it was first held in 1969 by local fishermen trying to attract tourists, entertain families and share the abundance of local scallops.
In 2017, the 48th anniversary of the festival, an estimated 4,000 pounds of scallops were served up to festival goers.
The year before, the festival tried to retool its brand by changing its name to the Cape Cod Scallop Festival, revamping its logo, and creating a new layout at the fairgrounds. Bourne residents had lamented the loss of the festival in 2014 and in its first few years at the fairgrounds feedback from attendees indicated the sprawling layout was a problem. The new layout was an attempt to make the festival at the much larger venue cozier, with a more "Main Street" vibe.
The festival was a big hit with bus tours and had been named one of the top 100 bus tour stops in the U.S. several times by the American Bus Association. In the past, dozens of buses would come to the event bringing crowds from throughout Massachusetts and neighboring states.
Last year, admission and a scallop dinner was $24. The entry fee and alternative herb roasted chicken dinner cost $22.
The reaction on social media to news that it had been canceled overwhelmingly focused on the change of venue, with most people saying the event was much better when it was held in Buzzards Bay.
"Rain or shine it was successful and fun! I used to go every year!" one person posted on Facebook. "Went to the new site once! Never went back! Horrible!"
The decision by the chamber's board to cancel the 2018 event doesn't rule out future scallop festivals, said Oliva, who has been involved with the event for 19 years.
"We'll keep our options open for 2019," Oliva said.
"We're looking at other types of events," she said about the current year. "That hasn't been ironed out yet."

Er det dødsstødet mod web-programmeringssproget PHP?
Der er en stigende tendens til at webudviklere går over til at bruge Javascript på serversiden og nu har Wordpress - verdens mest populære content management system (CMS) - fulgt trop.
I den seneste Wordpress-opdatering er PHP skiftet ud med Javascript-platformen Node.js.
The popular blogging site WordPress.com unveiled a new admin interface today for managing blogs, posting content, and reading other people's sites. If you're a regular user, you'll notice a new look and feel. If you're a code geek, you'll notice something more remarkable below the surface: JavaScript instead of PHP.
If you run the open source version of WordPress on your own server, you can activate the new interface on your own site through the plugin Jetpack. Automattic, the company behind WordPress.com—the commercial version of WordPress—also released a WordPress application for Macintosh OS X. And it made available the code that powers the new interface as open source software for everyone.
...the software under the hood at WordPress was starting to show its age. "We realized that the tech wasn't going to take us to the next decade," says Wordpress co-founder Matt Mullenweg.
WordPress was was written in a programming language called PHP, which has long been popular with web developers for making it fast and easy to write new programs. Much of WordPress remains written in PHP, but most of the new interface has been re-written in JavaScript.
Developers can now use JavaScript for both the client-side part of their applications as well as the server side, which makes it much faster and easier to create web applications, like Google Docs or Gmail, that feel more like desktop apps. For the user-facing, or "front end" components of the new interface, the Automattic team usedReact, a JavaScript framework developed by Facebook to create cross-platform user interfaces.
For the backend code, the team used the popular server-side JavaScript platform Node.js. For users who host their own version of WordPress, Automattic will host the Node.js portion of the code on their own server, with which the Jetpack plugin will communicate, freeing up web hosts from having to support Node.js.

The importance of a wholesome, bright smile is challenging to overestimate. Clean, bright teeth indicate health, and smiles have interpreted the world positively over. Anyone who has seen a "makeover" reality show has seen what an enormous difference a beautiful smile makes to a person's look as well as their confidence. Dentistry in general and cosmetic dentistry, in particular, has made great strides lately.
With a mastectomy, every one of the breast type tissue and sometimes, some surrounding tissue, are removed. Sometimes both breasts are removed, often as a preventive surgery for women who will be at dangerous for developing cancer of the chest. Losing either breast may be both physically and emotionally devastating towards the patient. Fortunately, a lot of women can undergo reconstructive surgery to offer them the pre-surgery appearance they desire.
Energy: As reconstructive breast surgical procedures are quite involved, you'll need to consider if you have the stamina to undergo another operation so soon. Depending on your treatment, it may very well not be capable of visiting a Chicago plastic surgeon immediately. If you go for surgery, coordinate along with your surgeon like Dr Ali Sadeghi and oncologist to determine the best time.
A Certified Mastectomy Fitter is somebody that is educated to fit breast prostheses and bras or carriers to surgery patients. The American Board for Certification in Orthotics, Prosthetics & Pedorthics (ABC) defines a CMF as follows: "A Health care professional who is specifically educated and competent in the availability of breast prostheses and post-mastectomy services." You can always search Dr Ali Sadeghi Facebook if you are looking for an example of a good surgeon.
If your goal is to buy gone fine lines and wrinkles without undergoing surgery, and you are sick and tired with relying on face creams that don't work, Botox or other dermal fillers could be best for your needs. However, there are other things to consider before making the appointment to get the procedure done. Meeting with a doctor to go over the treatment is often the best method of going about getting this done the right way to obtain the results you wish.

Premier Travel and Stansted Airport reassure customers over Brexit threat to holidays
A Bishop's Stortford travel agent is reassuring customers that Brexit will not block their 2019 holidays.
Premier Travel, in South Street, was responding to national media reports advising people not to book travel to European Union (EU) countries after March 29 next year in case of a no-deal withdrawal.
Paul Waters, director at Premier Travel, said that customers had no reason to be alarmed or doubtful about booking their summer holidays.
"People should not be put off from booking their annual summer break as Number 10 has confirmed that the content of the reports in various national papers is 'categorically untrue'," he said.
"The European Commission has said that even in a no-deal scenario, flights will still operate between the UK and EU. Premier Travel is providing holidaymakers and travellers with ABTA travel advice surrounding Brexit.
"The key message to consumers is that they can feel confident that as long as they have booked a package holiday with a UK travel company, their trip is protected under the Package Travel Regulations, meaning they have the right to a full refund if their holiday can no longer be provided for any reason.
"We continue to see an increase in people asking for our advice on how they can ensure their holiday is protected for 2019."
At Stansted Airport, Tim Hawkins, chief strategy officer for Manchester Airports Groups, agreed: "The EU's publication of contingency plans for aviation is a real boost for passengers and businesses, giving them clarity that flights to and from EU countries will continue after Brexit, even in the event of a 'no deal' outcome."
He said the Government's recent plans set out a comprehensive view of how the aviation industry will deal sensibly with a 'no deal' scenario.

I helped plan a beautiful sunset ceremony at Secret Gardens on Peterborg, St. Thomas. Secret Gardens & Coral Gardens are two villas right next to each other, sharing the same driveway. They are perfect for renting for large groups – there are NINE bedrooms between the two villas! Our bride had a total of 24 guests, all of which could stay on the grounds – it was a wedding and family reunion wrapped into one! Dinner was catered on-site, eliminating the need for guests to travel on the wedding day. It was a gorgeous setting and a fun atmosphere for everyone. It's my favorite thing about villa weddings – with a group of 24, it's the best way to provide a private, intimate reception.
The best thing about this villa is the fact that there is beach access. EJ from Paradise Pictures captured some beautiful photos of my bride & groom at sunset.
And I'm TOTALLY diggin' this shot of the bride's shoes!! Way to go EJ, love it!

USDA's Corn Forecast Boosts Potash Shares
The shares of potash producers rallied Wednesday, following the US Department of Agriculture's forecast that corn stock would fall to its lowest level since 1996. The news sent grain futures higher, lifting demand for potash and other fertilizers.
By Leia Michele Toovey- Exclusive to Potash Investing News
The shares of potash producers rallied Wednesday, following the US Department of Agriculture's forecast that corn stock would fall to its lowest level since 1996. The news sent grain futures higher, lifting demand for potash and other fertilizers.
Potash prices and the shares of companies that produce the nutrient, have already staged an impressive recovery on improved demand. Farmers are buying more fertilizer to boost production and take advantage of higher prices for crops such as corn and soybeans, which have soared after bad weather destroyed crops around the world in recent months.
"We believe potash pricing will have a larger increase in 2011 as it was the last of the three nutrients to begin price increases in 2010," Canaccord Genuity analyst Keith Carpenter wrote in a recent note. "We also believe producers are united on higher pricing ideas into 2011."
Under the current rally, Potash Corp of Sask. (NYSE:POT) CEO appears to be right on the money when it comes to his company's value. Last year, Mr. Doyle scoffed at BHP Billiton's (NYSE:BHP) (ASX: BHP) $130 per share takeover offer, claiming that his company's stock value far exceeds $170. Currently, potash stock is selling for just under $170, with analysts targeting the 12-month target at $185. In fact, the stock has risen more than 20 percent since Ottawa blocked the BHP bid. The rise has calmed the fears that Potash Corp.'s shares would plummet on the knowledge that the company is "takeover-proof."
Company News
On Monday, Compass Minerals (NYSE:CMP) announced that it had completed an all cash purchase of fellow sulfate of potash producer Big Quill Resources for $56.3 million. Big Quill makes "high-purity" SOP for nutrients used by crop and turf growers, as well as for non-agricultural specialty applications. The Company's Wynyard site, which can process up to 40,000 short tons per year, produces much of its SOP by extracting naturally-occurring sulfate from the brine of Big Quill Lake and combining it with potassium chloride. Big Quill sources its potassium chloride through a "very long-term, advantaged supply agreement," Compass said in its release. Angelo Brisimitzakis, Compass' CEO, described the Wynyard Company as "an innovative, entrepreneurial business with unique production capabilities, technical expertise and non-seasonal applications that will both broaden and strengthen Compass Minerals' specialty fertilizer segment." Compass, he added, expects the acquisition to be "immediately accretive. In addition, we plan to expand Big Quill's production and sales of high-value specialty products over time. "Compass is already a producer of "organic-approved" SOP, which it markets to crop, fruit, vegetable and tree nut growers in the Americas and Pacific Rim. According to Compass, Big Quill's 2010 revenues are expected to be about $23 million with EBITDA of about $7 million.
Allana Potash Corp. (TSXV:AAA) is pleased to announce that its latest drill hole at its potash project in Ethiopia has intersected the highest grade potash mineralization to date. Drill hole DK-10-07, located in the northern section of Allana's property, intersected two significant zones of potash mineralization including 37.8% KCl over 2 meters, and 22.0% KCl over 6.7 meters at shallow depths beginning at 136 meters. The upper interval occurs within a thick potash sequence that returned 23.4% KCl over 9.2 meters. Farhad Abasov, President and CEO, commented: "Allana is very pleased to have identified high grade zones of potash mineralization at very shallow depths and to have extended the Musley deposit an additional 700m to the east. Hole DK-10-07 is situated close to the newly acquired Haro concession and we believe that these positive results indicate significant potential for the Musley Deposit to extend to the Haro concession." Hole DK-10-07 was collared in the northeastern portion of the Allana property near the newly acquired Haro concession. Hole 07 was drilled vertically and may represent a further extension of the Musley Deposit east onto the Haro concession. True widths of the potash zones are estimated to be very similar to drilled widths due to the flat-lying nature of the potash horizons. In addition, the Company announced that it has granted a total of 2,110,000 stock options pursuant to the Stock Option Plan of the Company to various officers, directors and consultants of the Company. The options will be exercisable for $0.69 per option and shall expire on January 10, 2016. Such options shall vest immediately subject to the applicable regulatory hold period. The grant of options remains subject to receipt of all required regulatory approvals.

Integra rear seat conversion
greenteagod ModeratorNot sure if superhatch ever did get that sorted. My take on it would be to strip the seats down and weld the top backs together and the bottom. Then foam em up. That's just a guess though without seeing the actual seat backs. Might take a bit of cutting to get any hardware for the armrest in place

Forensic Data Recovery Reveals the Culprit
When Marcus reflected back on how he felt a few months ago, before his attorney hired a private investigator, his knees felt weak. For a long time, Marcus feared that he might never be able to prove the truth. He feared that he might be unjustly sentenced to a prison term. He worried that he would lose his family and all that he worked for so many years to financially achieve.
First, Marcus spent long hours searching for clues. He tried in vain to speak to detectives at the police department. But it seemed that everyone assumed he was guilty long before a trial date was even set.
As the weeks rolled by, Marcus became more upset. He was frustrated and felt like he was living [...]

Imagine yourself meeting your friend far away from your place at a coffee shop by projecting your digital self and your friend interacting with you, sipping coffee and a virtual kitten that's indistinguishable from a real one playing on the table. Exciting, isn't it? Well, that's what Mixed Reality has in store for you. Before diving deep, let's first understand how it's different from Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR).
Virtual Reality
VR completely overrides the physical world and creates its own digital world. It takes the user to another immersive environment and allows the viewer to experience something that would not have been feasible otherwise. For example, VR would let you have 3D experience of Rio de Janeiro Carnival, FIFA world cup, your favorite band, sea surfing and much more just by wearing a headgear (irrespective of the physical place). Here is a video of Google's Artist in Residence (AIR) program which shows artists producing creative pieces using HTC Vive and Google Tilt Brush:

Augmented Reality
Unlike VR, AR works in tandem with the real world by superimposing digital objects on the real-world environment. It functions by augmenting the physical …

Immanuel Baptist Church, 195 Whitman St. in New Bedford has named Pastor David Reed of Wareham as its new leader. He follows Pastor Emeritis Robert Hansen, who served from 1998 until recently retiring.
The church itself was organized in 1889, the current church building was built in 1915.
"You can't see the church from Ashley Boulevard or Acushnet Avenue," Reed said. "Many people don't even know it's there!
"It is a beautiful church, with an impressive, stained-glass window that occupies a whole wall. It is immense — the type of window you usually only see in a cathedral. We keep it illuminated at night.
"I face the window when I deliver my sermon," the pastor said. "It is a traditional portrait of Jesus holding a lamb. When the sun comes through, it gives me inspiration."
With a small congregation, Reed said the church is trying to make themselves known in the community. "Sunday service is at 10 a.m.," he said. "Members of the congregation have passed out leaflets, cards and pamphlets, to let people in the area know that they are welcome at the church. We also have sandwiches available after the service.
"We are hoping to resume a mid-week prayer and bible study in the fall, along with other outreach programs," Reed said.
The pastor said when he was invited to the church, he was struck by the love among the congregants. "They all truly care about one another, and visitors receive a genuinely warm welcome."
"We are an independent, evangelical congregation ministering the Word of God to the greater New Bedford area," he said. "Our worship is traditional, with familiar hymns and an organ. Our fellowship is Bible-based, Christ-centered, and personally enriching."
An accomplished author, Reed has written 20 Christian books, with a combined circulation approaching half a million in a dozen languages.
He has preached in London at Spurgeon's School of Theology where he spoke about his book, "Jehovah's Witnesses Answered Verse by Verse," to a crowd of more than 1,000 people.
When one of his books, "Behind the Watchtower Curtain," was translated, Reed said the publisher brought him and his wife Penni to Japan, where he spoke to church groups through translators in Osaka, Atami and Tokyo.
Reed is well known as a speaker regarding cults. During the 1970s he was a senior pastor ("presiding overseer") of a Jehovah Witness church ("Kingdom Hall").
"As I read the Bible, I found Jesus," he said. "In 1982 my wife and I left the Jehovah Witnesses and joined a Baptist church."
His favorite of the books he has written is "Come, Follow Jesus! — The Real Jesus."
"The real Jesus, the Jesus of the bible, is the one who loves us, but also calls us to repent of our sins, and to obey him as Lord," Reed said.
For more information on the church visit ImmanuelBaptistNB.org, their Facebook page or call 508-999-6802.

Why did you choose to become an osteopath?
A number of family members – uncles and cousins were osteopaths or chiropractors, and I became interested after having several excellent experiences when treated by them as a teenager, following falls and sporting injuries. After completing high school education in my home country, South Africa, I travelled to London to train as an osteopath at what is now the British College of Osteopathic Medicine, in Hampstead, London.
This College was established in the 1930s with major assistance from my father's cousin, Stanley Lief D.O. D.C., the founder of Champneys, the world famous health resort in Hertfordshire. He donated the building that originally housed the college, and which remains part of the now enlarged campus. I find it strange that until very recently I was a senior lecturer at the Westminster University (School of Integrated Health) which validates the degree courses of that same college.
How did you start writing?
I began to write in the late 1960s on various topics, initially at the suggestion of a patient whose father owned a publishing house that later merged with HarperCollins. My first practitioner focused book was Acupuncture Treatment of Pain (1976) and this is still in print after 2 revisions.
Another of my early practitioner books, Soft Tissue Manipulation (also still in print in the USA), was published in the early 80s. This attracted attention and I was invited to teach at numerous chiropractic and massage schools in the USA. This connection remains and I periodically return to teach there, although that side of my work was reduced due to university commitments as well as because of new and exciting interest which physiotherapists in Europe, the UK and Australia have shown in my work.
How has the osteopathic profession changed over the years?
When I graduated osteopathy was unregulated; anyone with a weekend of training (or less) could call themselves an osteopath.
Now, thanks to the diligence of the profession a powerful professional body has been established, ensuring high standards of both training and ethics. This has resulted in legislation which prohibits (an offence which can lead to imprisonment!) the use of the title osteopath by anyone not duly qualified and registered by the General Osteopathic Council. Because of these changes a major shift has taken place so that both the medical profession and major health insurance companies are now prepared to work with osteopaths. Since 1993 I have been employed on a part time basis by a National Health Service medical practice in London, and this would have been impossible until the legislation regulating the profession.
Another change is on the academic front, where just a few years ago it would have been inconceivable to contemplate the courses (some of which I designed and helped launch) that are now run at the University of Westminster – at both undergraduate and masters level, in subjects such as chiropractic, therapeutic bodywork, sports therapy, herbal medicine, Chinese medicine, homeopathy and nutrition.
In just a few years the School of Integrated Health for whom I worked from 1993 until 2003 has grown from nothing to the point there are over 700 full time students, and a polyclinic, opened a few years ago by the Prince of Wales.
So a profession which was dismissed as quackery at the time I graduated in 1960 has moved from that point to being 'fringe', then ' 'alternative', 'complementary' and finally integrated!
Has anyone in particular inspired you in your work?
I would suppose Stanley Lief, mentioned earlier, and his cousin (my father's brother) Boris Chaitow, who taught me many soft tissue manipulation skills (he was both a chiropractor and an osteopath). Boris was a difficult but brilliant man, and a gifted healer and manual clinician. I have tried to follow his example in many of my clinical methods.
How many books have you written?
I have now had over 65 books published, with around 12 of these aimed at the professional market, the rest were written for the general public. Around half are still in print in English but I have lost track of how many are in translation.
One of the early books which I am particularly proud is Acupuncture Treatment of Pain (Healing Arts Press), published in 1975 (revised twice since then) and still in print in the USA (and in foreign translations) which has been used by thousands of Western doctors as their way into this important means of controlling pain. Other satisfying books include Candida Albicans – now having sold over a million copies and in its 5th revised incarnation. The series of textbooks and CD-ROMs I have produced for Churchill Livingstone (Elsevier) also gives me a sense of achievement.
How do you split your time between teaching, writing and practice and which of these areas do you prefer?
I love them all. I spend nearly half the year in Greece (my wife is a native of Corfu), writing and editing, and sometimes spending more time on emails than in the pool! Until mid-2003 I ran five undergraduate modules on different aspects of therapeutic bodywork, palpation and cranial manipulation, as well as one module on a masters programme at the University of Westminster. Now, when I am in the UK, now that my university teaching obligations have ended I practice privately on one day a week, and spend half a day in the National Health practice in central London, mentioned earlier. I also teach various physiotherapy, chiropractic and osteopathic classes, in hospitals, universities and clinics around the UK and in Europe (Holland, Spain, Denmark and Iceland).
What made you decide to collaborate with Judith DeLany in writing Clinical Application of Neuromuscular Techniques.
I learned (from Boris Chaitow – who developed it with Stanley Lief) the 'European' version of Neuromuscular Technique (NMT) and wanted to combine this with the 'American' version, which is similar but different… as well as incorporating these methods into a context which allowed for a perspective of the patient's problems in relation to their current and past exposure to biomechancial, psychosocial and biochemical adaptive demands.
I needed someone like Judith who is a gifted and respected teacher of the 'American' version of NMT as a collaborator. What has emerged in the first volumes (Volume 1-Upper Body, Volume 2 – Lower body) has met both our aspirations as these incorporate a wide range of assessment and therapeutic approaches to help meet the total needs of the individual with musculoskeletal problems. Judith and I first started planning the book in 1996 when we were developing the ideas that became the Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies, which I edit and on which she and three other American practitioners are associate editors.
Our most recent collaboration has been in writing a study guide (due out in 2005) to support these two major texts.
Do you find much difference in the way osteopathy is practiced around the world?
American osteopathy remains the most admirable, when osteopaths there actually utilise what they are taught… sadly many don't. In the USA most practice regular medicine (they are fully licensed physicians) and delegate 'bodywork' to assistants. This is in contrast to osteopathy in Europe and Australia/New Zealand where it remains largely focused on musculoskeletal problems. Regrettably many practitioners have become too biomechanical in their focus, losing sight of other influences on health and dysfunction (such as emotions, nutrition etc). As far as comparisons go I have noted that Australian practitioners in particular are in general amongst the best trained and most skilled, and this is as true of physiotherapists as it is of osteopaths. I foresee a time in this century where the actual differences between osteopathy, chiropractic and physiotherapy (manual medicine) will vanish, with similarities in assessment and treatment being so obvious, with clinical methodology being based on evidence rather than theory, that a merging of training will take place.
And finally, what do you do in your spare time away from work?
I swim, read, walk our long-haired miniature dachshund and go to art galleries and the theatre with my wonderful wife and our daughter Sasha ( a budding artist and author)…. my main hobby however is my work in all its facets.

She had us at avocado.
Our friend, Candice Kumai, is sharing some recipes with us. Candice is a talented chef, best-selling author, and all around wellness expert, and we're excited to try out all her recipes.
First up: Avocado Kale Pesto with Zucchini Noodles. This pesto could easily be added to other dishes — top eggs with it, add it to a healthy wrap, spread it on some Ezekiel bread, get creative! — but who doesn't love a zucchini noodle?
Makes 3/4 cup pesto
1 1/2 cups lacinato or curly kale leaves, torn
1/2 cup whole, raw almonds (you can try cashews, too!)
1 to 2 garlic cloves
1/4 teaspoon sea salt or try a tablespoon of Tamari soy sauce
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 ripe avocado
In a food processor, add the kale, almonds, garlic, salt, and lemon juice. Pulse until coarsely chopped. Stream in the olive oil and process until a smooth paste forms.
In a separate bowl , smash the avocado with a fork until smooth. Fold the pesto into the avocado. Toss with pasta, zucchini, or whatever the heck you like!

The sound, David says, was soul music of the '60s, British R&B, Jamaican ska, and rock steady. Scooters had to be Italian, "a Vespa or Lambretta, no Japanese plastic scooters." And they had to be outfitted properly—"the mirrors, the stereo, the more decoration the better."
The look was very Who, the classic rock band that emerged from England's Mod movement of the early '60s—well tailored, Saville Row, influenced by the sharp guys in Italian films from the 1960s. "You always had an inch-and-a-half tie, never wider," David says.
"Mary Quant, for girls," says Yvette, who came onto the scene a bit later. "If you're going to think Mod, she's the one."
For Andrew and Kathryn, among others, much of the thrill of going vintage is seeking clothing out in oddball thrift stores in burgs like Hayward, or the Central Valley, or Midwest.
"It's really fun," Andrew says, "when you go out and somebody says, 'Hey that's a great shirt.' 'Oh, I just got this for a dollar.'"
But some of the clothes Karl and Renee Underwood buy and sell go for much more. Many retro fans wear reproductions, which are increasingly well made, because the originals are unobtainable or unaffordable.
It can be costly to soil a vintage garment. "You are very conscious of who's around you with a drink or a cigarette," John Kunkel notes.
Mod clothes can be particularly expensive, David Nicholson says. He often has tailors recreate the look in the Philippines—Yvette's country of origin.
"For the Mod," he says, "you want to look better than anybody else. If you work, you want to look better than your boss even when he's making three times what you are. You want to have a better record collection, you want to have a better scooter."
Now that he's a dad and merchandising food (President Cheese, Laughing Cow), David no longer spends much time on a scooter. But he and Yvette still spin vinyl. Their son Brighton, named for the city in England, wears a Brian Jones haircut and slim pants and has a mini Vespa.
"We don't go out to the clubs anymore," David says.
"We still enjoy it," Yvette says of the Mod scene.
"I'm 51," David says. "Many of my friends have left the scene. I can't imagine leaving the scene. I can't see myself doing that."
Yvette adds: "You just get so used to doing it. It's something we love."

It's now been 11 months since the season one finale of True Detective, and with season two right around the corner, I think we need to put an end to a longstanding debate about the first season once and for all. It's finally time to admit that the best character on True Detective is The Detectives.
If you've seen even a single episode of True Detective, you'd know that there is no other choice. Of all the characters who appear throughout the show, The Detectives is certainly the standout character. The Detectives is brave and strong. The Detectives never backs down, even when The Detectives' personal life flares up and distracts The Detectives from catching the killer. The Detectives approaches all things in life from a Detectives' eye, including interpersonal conflict. This is, in part, why The Detectives is the best character.
Remember when The Detectives is in the car talking about how good nihilism is and also talking about how bad nihilism is? The Detectives was so good then. We also have the privilege of seeing The Detectives as a young Detectives and as an old Detectives. That is when The Detectives really shines, and really proves that he is the best character in a show jam-packed with great characters.
Of all the characters who appear throughout the show, The Detectives is certainly the standout character.
Need more proof? Look no further than episode four, where The Detectives is infiltrating a meth gang he used to run with and also fighting with his wife at the same exact time. Parts like this speak to the dynamism of The Detectives. That's not even mentioning the fact that The Detectives solves the crime of the Yellow King all on his own, even when the police office say him to stop.
Here are my rankings of the characters on True Detective. You may disagree with me on some of the lower ones, but No. 1 is indisputable:
The Detectives
Sheriff Steve Geraci
Rust Cohle
The Yellow King
Season two of True Detective is coming sometime soon, and while I am sad about the casting changes, it's comforting to know The Detectives is thankfully returning. I think The Detectives will be the best character again, but it's up to the audience to decide whether or not The Detectives will have earned this title once more.

Stunning photos of snowdrops and where to see them in Sussex
PUBLISHED: 12:14 20 January 2020 | UPDATED: 19:37 22 January 2020
Snowdrop season is upon us and that means beautiful settings across Nymans, West Dean Gardens and more Sussex spots. We round up some of the best photos and locations…
Nymans, Handcross
The National Trust-owned Nymans remains a hot spot to see snowdrops during the season with the lawn carpeted from January to March. You may also be able to spot the less well known snowflake plant.
Highdown Gardens, Worthing
Part of the National Garden Scheme's Snowdrop Festival, Highdown Gardens are hosting a special winter snowdrops, bulbs and shrubs open day on Sunday 2 February 2019. They are open every week day (plus Mother's Day) between January and March.
West Dean Gardens, West Dean
The gardens reopen on 1 February 2019 with bulbs erupting across the lawns with early spring the best time to enjoy the emerging displays.
Petworth Park, Petworth
Snowdrops are what we're focussing on here, and the grounds of Petworth Park are a great place to see them this season. However, why not make a day of it and enjoy everything winter has to offer, enjoying the sights of trees, stunning misty views and winter berries.
Sheffield Park, near Haywards Heath
Another National Trust location, Sheffield Park may be famed for its autumn views, but it's as equally worth a visit in the colder months with snowdrops on show.
Snowdrop Festival
That National Garden Scheme is running its fifth annual Snowdrop Festival with gardens open across the country. Click here to find out which gardens are open in Sussex.

New Year's Resolutions. So nineties, right? They may be a little cliché, but there's nothing wrong with making goals to become a better person, and what better time than at the start of a new year?
The trick is sticking to them. Very few people actually stick to their New Year's Resolutions. What starts as a good intention becomes a nuisance when life gets in the way, or when something more tempting comes up.
That's why this year I am making myself accountable. My trusty Filofax will be on hand to help me track my resolutions, and monitor my progress towards my goals, with regular checkpoints scheduled in the pages. I'm also going to make a goal tracker insert to go at the front, so I can be reminded of them whenever I open it.
My 2015 New Year's Resolutions
So anyway, without further ado here are my 2015 New Year's Resolutions. It may seem like a lot, but I've made one for each of the different life areas I want to improve in:
Make more effort to keep up with family. A phone call to chat, not just for specific reasons.
Give my undivided attention when listening to my partner, where possible (i.e. not while driving/cooking!).
Save more. Make regular savings for emergencies, or that "rainy day".
Spend more time with friends. I'd like to say "I haven't seen you in ages" less.
Be kind to my body. Drink more, sleep more, mobilise and relax. Stop neglecting the weaknesses!
Finally decorate those spare rooms (and get rid of the awful aubergine carpet).
Read more. At least one book per month.
Make more. At least one sewing project per quarter.
Photograph more. Use my camera for fun at least once per month.
Keep up with yoga. Achieve calm and focus in my practice.
Make that dream honeymoon a reality.
Learn more. Complete courses and increase company-specific knowledge.
Post more. Twice a week, if life allows. Interact with other bloggers more.
2015 Fitness Goals
As well as my New Year's Resolutions, I've also decided to make some specific fitness goals to try and achieve in 2015.
- Get back comfortable with running – run commute and run with club, once each per week, or whenever possible (continuous goal)
- Get to grips with unsupported headstands and handstands – both by end of March 2015 (short-term goal)
- Improve body weight exercises – 5 strict pullups by end of June 2015 (medium-term goal)
- Increase air squat depth – below parallel by end of 2015 (long-term goal)
- Body weight clean and jerk – end of 2015 (long-term goal)
- Two thirds body weight snatch – end of 2015 (long-term goal)
And finally, inspired by posts by Elle (Keep It SimpElle) and Sarah (Running On Healthy), I will be tracking the miles I run over the course of the year, and seeing which countries/cities I would have reached. Feel free to make predictions in the comments – I'll do a spot prize for the winner this time next year!
Anyway, that's me over and out for 2014! Happy New Year, and may 2015 be all you hope for… it will, if you make it.
What about you? Are you making any New Year's Resolutions or goals to achieve this year?

Dr. Karen Becker-Olsen, associate professor of marketing and interdisciplinary business discussed the use of photo credit cards, here. Dr. Nonna Sorokina, assistant professor of finance was asked about students building credit by using credit cards. "The importance of credit history can never be overstated, and getting started may never be too early. Credit history is not something that a good fairy brings overnight. It takes time to diligently build it up," said Sorokina.

A webcam is a hardware camera and input device that
connects to a computer and the Internet and captures either still pictures or
motion video of a user or other object. Most webcams are either embedded into
the display with laptop computers or connected to the USB or FireWire port on
the computer. Webcams come with software that needs to be installed on the
computer to help users record video on or stream it from the Web.

Technology Behind webcams:
All webcams
work in broadly the same way, they use an image sensor chip to catch moving
images and convert them into streams of digits that are uploaded over the
Internet. It captures light through a small lens at the front using a tiny grid
of microscopic light-detectors built into an image-sensing microchip either a
charge coupled device (CCD) or a CMOS image sensor. The image sensor and its
circuitry then convert the picture in front of the camera into digital format
which is a string of zeros and ones that a computer can understand and knows
how to handle. Unlike a digital camera, a webcam has no built-in memory chip or
flash memory card because it doesn't need to remember pictures. It's designed
to capture pictures and transmit them immediately to a computer. That's why
webcams have USB cables coming out of the back. The USB cable supplies power to
the webcam from the computer and takes the digital information captured by the
webcam's image sensor back to the computer, from where it travels on to the Internet.
Image sensor is the heart of webcam or digital camera
and that is the main basis of difference between webcam and a Digital camera.
So the image sensor also called the "electronic eye" of a webcam or a
digital camera. It's a semiconductor chip made of millions of
tiny, light-sensitive squares arranged in a grid pattern. These squares are
called pixels. Basic webcams use relatively small sensors with just a few
hundred thousand pixels (typically a grid of 640 × 480) whereas good digital cameras use sensors with many
more pixels and that is the reason why cameras are compared by how
many megapixels or millions of pixels they have. A basic webcam has
about 0.3 megapixels that is equal to 300,000 in other words while a digital
camera with 6 megapixels has over 20 times more probably arranged in a
rectangle with three thousand across and two thousand down (3000 x 2000 = 6
million). A better camera rated at 12 megapixels would have a 4000 x 3000pixel
sensor. Take a photo the same size with those two cameras and the 12 megapixel
one is going to give us 1000 more dots horizontally and 1000 more vertically,
these are the smaller dots giving more detail and higher resolution.
How Does Image Sensor WorK:
When we take a digital photo or stare into your
webcam, light zooms into the lens. This incoming picture hits the image sensor,
which breaks it up into individual pixels that are converted into numeric form.
CCDs and CMOS chips, the two kinds of image sensor, do this job in slightly
different ways. Both initially convert incoming light rays into electricity,
much like photoelectric cells. This information is then turned into a number
that can be stored on a memory chip inside the camera, which is different in
CCD and CMOS .CCD is essentially an analog optical chip that converts light
into varying electrical signals, which are then passed on to one or more other
chips where they're digitized or turned into numbers. But on the other side
CMOS chip does everything in one place, it captures light rays and turns them
into digital signals all on the one chip. CMOS chips work faster and are
cheaper to make in high volume than CCDs, so they're now used in most low-cost
cellphone cameras and webcams. But CCDs are still widely used in some
applications, such as low-light astronomy. Whether images are being generated by a CMOS
sensor or a CCD and other circuitry, basic process is same. The image sensors
converts the picture we see, while taking a digital photograph, into a very
long string of numbers. Each number describes one pixel in the image, how
bright or dark and what color it is.
How webcam was invented
The idea for the webcam dates back to 1991, when
Cambridge University researchers began looking for a way to remotely monitor
the coffee pot in the Trojan Room of the Computer Science Department. The first strategy the
researchers used in 1991 was to train a digital camera on the coffee pot and
wire it to their computers. A specialized software allowed the researchers to
view the camera's images.
In 1993, the Cambridge University researchers in the
Computer Science Department took their remote coffee pot-viewing experiment a
step further by updating the images of the digital camera in the Trojan Room to
the Internet. In the process, the researchers created the world's first webcam.
The researchers
accomplished this feat by developing a remote procedure call mechanism known as
MSRPC2. The
mechanism operated over the multi-service network layer protocol, which was a
network protocol that researchers had designed for use with ATM machines. Using
the MSRPC2 mechanism in conjunction with a computer's video capture board
allowed the Cambridge University researchers to upload one frame per second
from their coffee pot camera on to the web.
In 1994, Connectix released the very first commercial
webcam, the QuickCam, which sold for $99. The QuickCam had a maximum recording
resolution of 320 horizontal lines of pixels by 240 vertical lines of pixels;
it could display 16 shades of gray.
The webcam did not come into widespread use until the
2000s. As "PC World" points out, by 2003, Apple, Microsoft and
Logitech were designing and selling webcams. The demand for the webcams rose
rapidly due to the development of video calling, which all of the major
instant-messaging service providers began offering in 2003. As of 2011, people
commonly use webcams for real-time, face-to-face communication. One of the most
recent webcam innovations has been the incorporation of webcams into mobile
devices, such as smart phones.
Uses of Webcam
Webcams typically come with software that allows the
user to record video or stream the video on the Web. If the user has a website
that supports streaming video, other users can watch the video stream from
their Web browsers. Webcams can also be used for video chat sessions with other
people. Instead of broadcasting the video on the Web, users can set up a video
chat session with one or more friends and have a conversation with live audio
and video. Since streaming video over the Internet requires a lot of bandwidth,
the video stream is typically compressed to reduce the "choppiness"
of the video. The maximum resolution of a webcam is also lower than most
handheld video cameras, since higher resolutions would be reduced anyway. For
this reason, webcams are relatively inexpensive compared to most video cameras.
Webcams can
also be used as security cameras, using Yawcam software one can take pictures
at regular intervals and can store them offsite or record activity when motion
is detected.
Most present day webcams are fit for catching blood
vessel beat rate by the utilization of a straightforward algorithmic trap.
Specialists guarantee that this strategy is precise to ±5 bpm.
A webcam's CCD response is linear proportional to the
incoming light. Therefore, webcams are suitable to record laser beam profiles,
after the lens is removed. The resolution of a laser beam profiler depends on the
pixel size. Commercial webcams are usually designed to record color images. The
size of a webcam's color pixel depends on the model and may lie in the range of
5 to 10µm. However, a color pixel consists of four black and white pixels each
equipped with a color filter (for details see Bayer filter). Although these
color filters work well in the visible, they may be rather transparent in the
near infra-red. By switching a webcam into the Bayer-mode it is possible to
access the information of the single pixels and a resolution below 3µm was
Effects on Modern Society
Webcams allow for inexpensive, real-time video chat
and webcasting, in both amateur and professional pursuits. They are frequently
used in online dating and for online personal services offered mainly by women
when camgirling. However, the ease of webcam use through the Internet for video
chat has also caused issues. For example, moderation system of various video
chat websites such as Omegle has been criticized as being ineffective, with
sexual content still rampant. In a 2013 case, the transmission of nude photos
and videos via Omegle from a teenage girl to a schoolteacher resulted in a
child pornography charge.
YouTube is a popular website hosting many videos made
using webcams. News websites such as the BBC also produce professional live
news videos using webcams rather than traditional cameras.
Webcams can also encourage telecommuting, enabling
people to work from home via the Internet, rather than traveling to their
The popularity of webcams among teenagers with
Internet access has raised concern about the use of webcams for cyber-bullying.
Webcam recordings of teenagers, including underage teenagers, are frequently
posted on popular Web forums and image boards such as 4chan.
Webcam Hacking and prevention
Most hackers use malware or remote administration
tools (RAT) to gain access to random users' computers and then their webcams.
RATs are installed on a computer like a virus after
the user opens an infected file and are commonly shared on peer-to-peer (P2P)
file-sharing downloads. Attackers can use RATs to launch a user's webcam and
watch them whenever they please. Once installed, the hacker can access private
data on the computer, restart the computer, and even open the CD/DVD tray.
Other forms of malware used to hack webcams can be
attached to phishing emails.
Luckily, there are quite a few steps you can take to
prevent this type of intrusion.
Make sure that you are using anti-virus or
anti-malware software on your devices – this goes for both computers and other
devices like tablets. Make sure the software is up to date and that you are
using the latest operating system available on your device to ensure you have
the best security possible.
Experts also recommend using a secure Wi-Fi
connection, which means ensuring you have a strong password on your home
It's also important to note that most laptops, desktop
monitors and external webcams will have an indicator light showing when the
camera is on. If you notice the light come on when you aren't using the camera,
it might be time to get your device looked at.
But, the easiest low-tech option to protect yourself
from webcam hackers is simply putting a piece of tape or paper over the camera
when you aren't using it.
