Pro-Dex, Inc. Announces Fiscal 2014 First Quarter Results PR Newswire IRVINE, Calif., Nov. 13, 2013 IRVINE, Calif., Nov. 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- PRO-DEX, INC. (NasdaqCM: PDEX) today announced financial results for its fiscal 2014 first quarter ended September 30, 2013. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20111025/LA93174LOGO-c) Sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 decreased 26% to $2.6 million from $3.5 million for the corresponding quarter in 2012. This decrease was due primarily to a deferral in the timing of product orders from the Company's current largest powered surgical instrument customer, partially offset by increases in surgical instrument sales to other customers, and to a decrease in motion control product sales. Gross profit for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 decreased to $945,000, compared to gross profit of $1.2 million for the year-ago period, primarily as a result of the sales volume decrease between periods, partially offset by a decrease in product warranty costs. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 37% for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, as compared to 36% for the corresponding quarter in 2012, resulting primarily from improvements in production efficiency. Operating expenses (which include selling, general and administrative, and research and development expenses) for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 decreased 28% to $924,000 from $1.3 million in the prior year's corresponding quarter, reflecting the effects of the Company's cost reduction program. Income from continuing operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 was $18,000, compared to a loss from continuing operations of $59,000 in the corresponding quarter in 2012. Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 was $212,000, or $0.06 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $17,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, for the corresponding quarter in 2012. The 2013 quarter reflects a $167,000 gain from the previously announced sale in July 2013 of the Company's facility in Carson City, Nevada, that had housed the Company's former Astromec fractional horsepower motor business, which the Company accounts for as a discontinued operation. CEO Comments Harold A. ("Hal") Hurwitz, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "It is good to report profitable operating results again. Certainly, one quarter does not create, nor imply, a trend. Even so, the operating results for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 reflect the long, painful, and now rewarding process of right-sizing our cost footprint to our current revenue base." "Without question, achieving the goal of a rebuilt revenue base is still ahead of us, and we maintain our focus on that goal. During the quarter ended September 30, 2013, we continued to make significant progress on engineering projects, with a goal to deliver to our customers in late fiscal 2014 or early fiscal 2015 a next-generation platform for powered surgical instruments in which we will retain significant intellectual property rights. In addition, we have several active proposals in the hands of existing and prospective customers for similar such projects." "Also during the quarter, we continued engineering work in collaboration with an existing customer on a contract manufacturing project related to a new surgical system, the development phase of which is also expected to culminate in the late fiscal 2014 or early fiscal 2015 time frame." "Fiscal 2014 marks the first year in which the full effect of our cost reduction efforts of the past year will be reflected in our results. This said, our efforts in cost reduction and control are not yet complete. Nonetheless, year-over-year stability of gross margins despite lower sales volumes, together with year-over-year decreases of 66% in selling expenses, 25% in general and administrative expenses, and 8% in research and development expenses, we believe clearly demonstrate how far we have come."

GKMPAN: An Efficient Group Rekeying Scheme for Secure
Multicast in Ad-Hoc Networks∗
Sencun Zhu†Sanjeev Setia‡Shouhuai Xu§Sushil Jajodia¶
We present GKMPAN, an efficient and scalable group rekeying protocol for secure multicast in ad
hoc networks. Our protocol exploits the property of ad hoc networks that each member of a group is both
a host and a router, and distributes the group key to member nodes via a secure hop-by-hop propagation
scheme. A probabilistic scheme based on pre-deployed symmetric keys is used for implementing secure
channels between members for group key distribution. GKMPAN also includes a novel distributed
scheme for efficiently updating the pre-deployed keys. GKMPAN has three attractive properties. First,
it is significantly more efficient than group rekeying schemes that were adapted from those proposed for
wired networks. Second, GKMPAN has the property of partial statelessness; that is, a node can decode
the current group key even if it has missed a certain number of previous group rekeying operations.
This makes it very attractive for ad hoc networks where nodes may lose packets due to transmission link
errors or temporary network partitions. Third, in GKMPAN the key server does not need any information
about the topology of the ad hoc network or the geographic location of the members of the group. We
study the security and performance of GKMPAN through detailed analysis and simulation; we have also
implemented GKMPAN in a sensor network testbed.
Many applications of ad hoc networks involve collaborative computing among a large number of nodes and
are thus group-oriented in nature. Examples of such applications include coordination of fire fighters in a
rescue task or coordination of soldiers during a battle. For deploying such applications in an adversarial
environment such as a battlefield or even in many civilian commercial scenarios, it is necessary to provide
support for secure group communication. In this paper, we address the issue of providing confidentiality for
group communication in ad hoc networks.
The most efficient approach for achieving confidential group communication is to use a symmetric group
key that is shared by all the nodes for data encryption. This approach however introduces the problem of
group rekeying, i.e., the group key must be updated and redistributed to all the remaining nodes in a secure,
reliable, and timely fashion when group membership changes. This problem has been studied extensively in
the context of secure multicast in wired networks and several scalable key management protocols have been
proposed, e.g., OFT [3], Subset-Difference [18], LKH [27], and ELK [22]. However, these approaches are

not directly applicable to ad hoc networks, because the communication cost per node can become very high
for a large ad hoc network with very dynamic group membership. So far very few group rekeying schemes
have been proposed for ad hoc networks. They either use public-key techniques [11], or adapt the LKH
scheme for ad hoc networks [16]. Public-key based schemes [11] are more expensive than symmetric-key
based schemes in both communication and computation. The adapted LKH scheme [16] incurs the computa-
tional and communication cost that is of the same order as the LKH scheme [27]. Moreover, the LKH-based
schemes [3, 16, 27] have the disadvantage of stateful group rekeying schemes that a node that has missed
a group rekeying operation will need to obtain previously transmitted key encryption keys in order to be
able to decrypt the current group key. This may involve requesting the key server for retransmission of any
missing key encryption keys, which is highly undesirable in a multi-hop wireless network.
In this paper, we present a scalable and efficient group rekeying protocol (GKMPAN) for ad hoc net-
works based solely on symmetric key techniques. GKMPAN exploits the property of an ad-hoc network
that member nodes are both hosts and routers. In IP Multicast, all group members are end hosts, and they
have no responsibility for forwarding keying materials to other group members. In contrast, for group com-
munication in an ad hoc network, the members of the group also act as routers. As such, in GKMPAN
the key server only has to deliver the new group key securely to the group members that are its immediate
neighbors, and these neighbors then forward the new group key securely to their own neighboring members.
In this way, a group key can be propagated to all the members. Because every node only needs to receive
one encryption of the group key, the average transmission cost per node is one key independent of the group
For the above scheme to work, a fundamental requirement is the existence of a secure channel be-
tween every pair of neighboring nodes. GKMPAN provides secure channels through probabilistic key pre-
deployment. Thetechniqueofprobabilistickeypre-deploymenthasbeenappliedinseveralstudies[6,8,33];
however, to the best of our knowledge, none of these studies address the issue of updating the pre-deployed
keys. Updating the predeployed keys is critical in order to prevent the compromised and revoked nodes
from launching a collusive attack in which they pool together their keys with the goal of jeopardizing the se-
cure channels between other nodes. Without key updating, both the performance and security of the system
will degrade greatly with the number of compromised nodes. To address this issue, we present an efficient
distributed key updating scheme for updating any compromised channels.
The contributions of this paper are two-fold. First, GKMPAN, which based on symmetric key tech-
niques, is significantly more communication-efficient than previous approaches [16, 27] for group rekeying
when used for ad hoc networks. It also has the property of partial statelessness; that is, a node can decode
the current group key even if it has missed a certain number of previous group rekeying operations. This
makes it very attractive for ad hoc networks where nodes may lose packets due to transmission link errors or
temporary network partitions. Moreover, unlike the LKH-based scheme in [16], GKMPAN does not require
any information about the topology of the ad hoc network or the geographic location of the members of the
Second, the key update scheme of GKMPAN can also be used to increase the robustness of other proba-
bilistic key pre-deployment based schemes [6, 8, 33] to more node compromises when compromised nodes
can be detected.
The rest of this paper is organized as follows. An overview and the protocol details of GKMPAN as well
as security analysis are presented in Section 2. We analyze and evaluate its performance in Section 3. The
related work are described in Section 4. Finally, Section 5 concludes this paper.

2The Group Rekeying Protocol
In this section, we describe three different schemes for group rekeying – a basic scheme, and two extensions
of the basic scheme that result in improved security and performance. We first discuss our assumptions and
present a brief overview of our protocol, then describe its operation in greater details.
2.1Network and Security Assumptions
Network Assumptions
messages are addressed to all the members. For the ease of presentation, in this section, we assume that
all nodes in an ad hoc network are members of a group. In Section 2.5 we discuss how this scheme can
be extended for networks where not all nodes are members of a group. For secure group communication,
a group-wide symmetric key is used to encrypt group broadcast messages. Note that using pairwise shared
keys for securing group communication does not improve security in comparison to a scheme based on
group keys. This is because under both schemes an adversary only needs to compromise one node to obtain
the group data; moreover, if pairwise keys are used for securing group data, a node will have to perform
decryptions and re-encryptions for the data packets it is forwarding. Nevertheless, if the network needs
to provide pairwise keys for private communication between pairs of nodes, we can directly employ the
probabilistic pairwise key establishment scheme in [33] without making any additional security and network
We assume that the resources of a node, such as power, computational and communication capacity,
and storage are relatively constrained; thus a node neither can afford public-key operations nor has space
for storing pre-deployed pairwise shared keys for all the nodes in the network. However, we assume that
every node has space for storing hundreds of bytes or a few kilobytes of keying materials, depending on
the security requirements. One type of such nodes is the current generation of sensor nodes (e.g., Berkeley
Mica2 motes [29] with 8MHZ CPU and 4K RAM).
The communication model we consider is group-oriented communication; that is,
Security Assumptions and Attack Models
orative managers for fault tolerance and compromise resilience [12, 31]) managing the group membership.
Under our protocol, a group rekeying is initiated by the group manager (or called key server hereafter) to re-
voke one or multiple nodes. We do not specify the cause (e.g., policy change, owner compromises) for node
revocation. In particular, we do not assume that the reason for node revocation must be node misbehavior
(e.g, injecting spurious packets). Unlike in sensor networks where sensor nodes are often unattended, in a
mobile ad hoc network, it is more common that nodes are carried by other entities (e.g., soldiers, vehicles).
Therefore, a node revocation is often the result of revoking the carrier of a node. For example, if a solider
is captured by the adversary or is missing in a battlefield, other soldiers can report the event to the group
manager, which initiates a group rekeying operation to revoke the node carried by this solider.
We do not distinguish between an attacker and a compromised node, because we assume that an attacker
can obtain all the information stored in a compromised node. We assume, however, that a non-compromised
node can be trusted; that is, a node executes the protocol correctly unless it has been compromised. Since
wireless communication is broadcast-based, we assume that an adversary can eavesdrop on all traffic, inject
packets, and replay older packets. Since we assume that an adversary can take full control of compromised
nodes, an adversary may command compromised nodes to drop or alter messages they are forwarding.
We assume that there is a group manager (or multiple collab-
2.2 Design Goal
Given the threat model described above, in this paper, we focus on preventing a group key recovery attack
in which an attacker's goal is to learn the group key through eavesdropping on key distribution messages

exchanged by group members. Several nodes whose group membership has been revoked can collude in this
attack by pooling together their keys. Our goal is to design a bandwidth-efficient group rekeying scheme
that updates the compromised keys with little performance overhead once the compromised nodes are de-
tected. The scheme should enable the non-compromised nodes to reject spurious group keys injected by
compromised nodes. The scheme should also be robust to refusal-of-service attacks in which compromised
nodes prevent other nodes from receiving group keys by dropping packets going through them.
2.3Protocol Overview
Our group rekeying protocol involves a key pre-distribution phase and a rekeying phase.
Key Pre-distribution Prior to the deployment of the ad hoc network, all nodes obtain a distinct subset of
keys out of a large key pool from the key server and these keys are used as key encryption keys (KEKs)
for delivering group keys.
A rekeying operation itself involves three steps: authenticated revocation notification, secure group key
distribution and key updating.
Authenticated Node Revocation When the key server decides to revoke a node, it broadcasts a revocation
notice to the network in an authenticated way.
Secure Key Distribution The key server generates and distributes a new group key K. The key K is
propagated to all the remaining nodes in a hop-by-hop fashion, secured with the non-compromised
predeployed keys as KEKs.
Key Updating After a node receives and verifies the group key K, it updates its own KEKs based on K.
2.4Schemes For Group Rekeying
Below are the notations that appear in the rest of this discussion.
• u, v (in lower case) are principals such as communicating nodes.
• Ruis a set of keys that u possesses, and Iuis the set of key ids corresponding to the keys in Ru.
• ICis the set of ids of the compromised keys known to the revoked nodes.
• IPis the set of ids of all the keys in the key pool P.
• {fk} is a family of pseudo-random functions [9].
• {s}kmeans encrypting message s with key k.
• MAC(k,s) is the MAC of message s using a symmetric key k.
2.4.1 Scheme I: The Basic Scheme
Key Pre-distribution
Each node is loaded with the following information:
1. Each node u is loaded with m distinct keys from the key pool P of l keys {k1,k2,...,kl}, and these
keys are used as KEKs. A deterministic algorithm is used to decide the subset of keys Ruallocated to
node u. Specifically, for each node, the algorithm generates m distinct integers between 1 and l using
a uniform pseudo-random number generator upon the input of a node id. These integers are the ids of
the keys for the node and the node is loaded with the keys indexed by these ids. As a result, each key
in the key pool has a probability of m/l to be chosen by each node. Note that this construction allows
any node that knows another node's id u to determine Iu, the ids of the keys held by u.
2. Eachnodeisloadedwiththeinitialgroupkeykgthatisusedforsecuringgroup-widecommunications,
and an individual key that is only shared between the node and the key server.
Page 5
3. Finally, each node is loaded with the commitment (i.e., the first key) of the key chain of the key server
because we are employing TESLA [20] for broadcast authentication.
The above key predistribution technique is different from that in the previous work [8, 6]. In our scheme,
a node only needs to know another node's id to be able to determine the keys it shares (if any) with that
node. Since the id of a neighbor is freely available from either the medium access control layer [10] or the
network layer [23], no additional cost is needed for discovering the shared keys. In contrast, the approach
in [8, 6] requires each node to exchange the ids of the keys it possesses with its neighbors. This is not
scalable because in a mobile ad hoc network the neighbors of a node may change frequently. To this end,
our approach is much more bandwidth-efficient and scalable.
Note that this key pre-distribution phase is equivalent to the member joining phase in traditional secure
IP multicast. We will discuss node additions in more detail in Section 2.5. In this paper, we are mainly

Authenticated Node Revocation

a legitimate node or spread malicious packets that could lead to inconsistency in our schemes.
We employ TESLA [20] for broadcast authentication in our protocol due to its efficiency and tolerance
to packet loss. TESLA is based on the use of a one-way key chain along with delayed key disclosure. To use
TESLA, we assume that all the nodes and the key server are loosely time synchronized, i.e., a node knows
the upper bound on the time synchronization error with the key server.
Let u be the node being revoked and kT
IC= IC∪ Iu(originally IC= ∅). Let M be the id of the non-compromised key (i.e. keys in IP− IC) that
is possessed by the maximum number of remaining nodes in the network. The key server generates the new
group key as follows: k′g= fkM(kg), then broadcasts the following message
To revoke a node, the key server broadcasts a notification to the network
ibe the to-be-disclosed TESLA key. The key server updates
KeyServer −→ ∗ : u,M,fk′g(0),MAC(kT
We refer to fk′g(0) as the verification key because it enables a node to verify the authenticity of the group key
k′gthat it will receive later. The key server distributes the MAC key kT
receiving the above node revocation message and the MAC key KT
will store the verification key fk′g(0) temporarily if the verification is successful.

in Ru, must either be changed or discarded to prevent it from accessing future group communications. In
our basic scheme, all the nodes but u update kgbut discard all the keys in Ru.
When a node v receives the node revocation notice and the MAC key that arrives one TESLA interval
later, it verifies the authenticity of the notice based on TESLA. If the verification is successful, node v
deletes its keys which have ids in Iu. If node v possesses kM, the key possessed by the maximum number
of remaining nodes, it will generate the new group key k′g= fkM(kg) on its own as the key server does.
Otherwise, it expects to receive k′gfrom other nodes through a secure logical path.
To explain the key distribution process, we assume a multicast delivery tree rooted at the key server.
In practice, the delivery tree should be already in place for the distribution of group data, and it can be
constructed by any appropriate multicast/broadcast routing protocol. The key server initiates the process
When a node u is revoked, all the keys it possesses, including kgand the keys

Yello everyone, Tomoaki Ayano here!
Last week was Golden Week here in Japan, and almost everyone in the entire country had pretty much the whole week off. Instead of going off on a trip somewhere like a lot of people do, I decided to just stay in Tokyo, which was a lot of fun. The crowds at every turn, however, were not so fun.
There won't be any national holidays to give the team here a brief respite for a while now, so we're going to dig in deep and get a lot of work done!

Action Kayak AdventuresRead MoreOn father-son fishing trips, Bart Swab's dad taught him not only how to cast his line but also how to treat the aquatic ecosystem surrounding him with respect. Now a licensed and insured guide, Swab helps other fisherman appreciate the open water's beauty, helming kayak trips through Florida's pristine saltwater marshes. After arming prospective kayakers with safety tips and familiarizing them with their fishing equipment, Swab guides lead paddlers into the water. They maintain a 3-inch draft that allows students in kayaks to sneak up on fish without having to glue sequins to their skin to look like scales. Kayakers can also gaze through binoculars at the diverse fauna roaming the area's shores. Trips range from a half day to a full day, and for a more structured route, participants can opt for destination trips to seasonal hot spots, where they can search out fish such as black drum, sheepshead, and tarpon.505 Guana River RoadPonte Vedra Beach, FL US

On our approach to Lochel (small town in the mid north for those not familiar with South Aus) I asked Darren to pull over so I could take a photo. Whilst I am taking the photo Darren the real horticulturalist gets a closer look at the weeds growing throughout the sunflower crop.
Rumanian Tour Part I
... morning when we crossed into Rumania. Our first destination was the region of the northern Carpathian Mountains. 4 years ago we have been on the Ukrainian side. This time we were about 50 miles south from the place where my great grandfather was born. The impressions were very similar though. The landscapes are beautiful but the people in the rural areas have to work very hard to make a living. A lot of agricultural work is still done by hand. We watched ...
... extensive beachfront.
FYI -- Constanta was founded by the Greeks as Tomis around 2,500 years ago. It is rumored to have been the place where Jason and the Argonauts landed after securing the Golden Fleece of legend. The Romans conquered in 71BCE and renamed it in honor of the sister of the Roman Emperor of the time.
Today it is the fourth largest port in Europe after Rotterdam, Antwerp and Marseille. ...
Slug Body Again
... out, the morning was 48 degrees, and even feeling the cold air pouring off our window was more than I wanted to do. Of course, for Christine and Campbell, it was just an average winter day. I'm hoping they all had a good time.
We took advantage of the free time to tear apart the cabin looking for our unused lost coffee card, doing the laundry, going to the gym, replenishing my books. I wanted to imbue myself with the ports of call, so ...
... and artefacts all over the place! Old Roman wall and remains of old port facilities complete with mosaic pavement. A visit to the city Orthodox Cathedral followed. Much smaller than others we have see but beautiful.

Dragons of Legend 2 Review
What's going on fellow duelist, today I have yet another Yugioh TCG review for you guys. Recently my friend from Konami gave me the privilege to review one of their newer sets and that's the new Dragons of Legend 2. This set was an amazing set, so good I ended up buying a whole booster box and some to try and get the cards I want. So about the set a box comes with 24 packs and in each pack contains 5 cards. It will have 4 super rares and 1 secret rare in each pack. This set contained support the red eyes and toon decks, also introduced two new arc types prediction princess and aquaactresses. I'll cover a little on some of the arc types in the set and let you know what I thought about it at the end.
Saber Force Review
Crossed Souls Review
What's up everyone, Patches here doing another yugioh TCG review. My friend from Konami gave me the opportunity to review their newest set that came out, Crossed Souls. This set brought a lot of support for a lot of decks like performapal, fluffal, u.a., harpies, and burning abyss to name a few. They also introduced another arc-type zefras. Now zefras are very interesting, they are an arc-type that brings the 5 other major arc-types together, which normally they would never be able to work well with each other. It brings the Yang Zings, Satellar, Shaddolls, Ritual Beast, and Nekroz together making them a very complicated deck to deal with because they can potentially be running two different types of deck into one. I know that the zefra cards are gonna get more support later on making them the decks to beat. Lets move on to some of the decks that got a lot of support this time around, we will start with the U.A. cards.

Yugioh Legendary Collection 5Ds Review
Basic Intro to Gears of War 3 Default Weapons
There are many weapons in Gears of War 3, and each requires a unique approach to use effectively. Guns are varied so that a certain balance is achieved where there is a gun for virtually any situation and range, but not too many that apply to any one situation. This mechanic makes it so no single gun stands too far above the others of comparable power and makes game play more based on the player's individual skill with the gun they've chosen. Someone who's bad with a Hammerburst rifle can get gunned down at range by someone who's an expert with the Retro Lancer. Since the game has so many weapons, I'm going to focus on the primary weapons you start with as they are the guns most heavily relied upon. I'll deal with map-placed weaponry next issue.

Great Costumer Service
We hired Ultimate Gutter Guard to install Green energy Fiberglass insulation and Green energy Radiant barrier in our attic. The salesman was very professional, and went straight to the point on how the companys product could help us reduce our homes energy cost. The workers who installed the insulation were great. They showed up on time, cleaned up after their work, and were very courteous. The price was a little higher than what we could have gotten elsewhere, but the great costumer service makes it worth it. I am confident that that they will stand by thier guarantee and fix any problems if they should arise.

Some Experts in Audience Response Technology...If you are looking for an expert in audience response technology, you can contact the following keypad response system facilitators and trainers. They were recommended by NCDD members in an April 2010 listserv discussion and through comments on an NCDD blog post. David Campt (www.davidcampt.com) - David's DWC Group offers rentable keypad systems for audience participation, as well as design and facilitation services for events and training for clients to learn how to use the keypads most effectively for various types of meetings and objectives. The DWC Group has a page explaining more about the general uses of keypad audience response systems at http://www.thedwcgroup.com/Gallery/KAP.pdf. Chris Bui at 5th Medium I.C. (Interactive Communications) - Chris and 5th Media I.C. design, facilitate, and implement civic engagement programs and summits which incorporate wireless keypad systems for interactive voting and group meetings. For more information, email Chris at email@example.com. John D. Godec (www.godecrandall.com) - John's firm consults and trains businesses and government in high stakes communication, consensus building, conflict resolution and public involvement. John and his partner, Theresa Gunn, have been using keypad technology for about 15 years for decision-support work and find it exceptionally effective with good facilitation. Matthew Freeman - Matthew has used keypads as a tool for dialogue facilitation, deliberation, and group decision-making. He works with Hope in the Cities in Richmond, VA and uses keypads in his facilitation on a weekly basis. He also co-authored an International Journal of Public Participation article with David Campt about using the technology for dialogue called Talk Through the Hand: Using audience response keypads to augment the facilitation of small group dialogue. (suggested by David Campt) Padgett Communications (www.pcipro.com) – Padgett Communications offers a variety of wireless keypad systems for rental. Those interested can visit the website for more information and price quotes, call 888-233-4724, or contact Tim Alcott at firstname.lastname@example.com. (suggested by Bill McGowan) Ron Thomas - Ron has been working since the early 1990s as the planner, manager, and facilitator for keypad supported technology and can bring in the most appropriate hardware provider for a venue. The Northeastern Illinois Planning Commission utilized keypads during his directorship at the organization. He has also written a case study of the community-based process using keypads in Kentucky, where this historic corridor was planned, design, and constructed in six years with the community and state Department of Transportation; email Ron for a copy of this excellent report. He currently uses this technology in his current consulting practice, which has planned and directed three AmericaSpeaks-scale forums in the last two years. AmericaSpeaks (www.americaspeaks.org) - AmericaSpeaks offers keypad training and rentals for events. A number of the organization's staff and associates are trained in conducting keypad polling sessions. NCDD member Susanna Haas Lyons runs keypads as part of the AmericaSpeaks team. (suggested by Janet Fiero) Turning Point (www.turningtechnologies.com) - Turning Technologies offers the TurningPoint audience response system and rentable keypads, which can be used with Microsoft PowerPoint. They also offer ResponseWare™, a response system which allows participants to use their mobile devices and computers to respond through the internet. (suggested by Janet Fiero) Walt Roberts (http://waltsearch.wordpress.com) - Walt uses a custom-developed polling system called "Possibility," which he helped to develop. He offers innovative and integrated approaches to keypad polling-assisted deliberation and decision making. To learn more about his keypad response system, go to http://waltsearch.wordpress.com/about-walt-blog/keypad-polling. Ken Snyder at PlaceMatters (www.placematters.org) - PlaceMatters helps communities to plan and implement keypad polling events. The organization also provides AnyWare software, which collects responses from computers, mobile devices, and keypads both on-location and remotely. (suggested by Ariana McBride and Chris Haller) Ascentum (www.ascentum.com) - Ascentum, a professional services firm specializing in public participation and social media, has been using voting keypad technologies for the past two years in their in-person dialogue processes. (suggested by Ellis Westwood) Mike Smith at One Counts (www.onecounts.com) - One Counts is the company that has been managing the technology (keypads, laptops, multi-site networking, A/V, etc.) at AmericaSpeaks' large engagement events over the years. Described by NCDD member Susanna Haas Lyons as an "esteemed voting and technical direction company." Mike can be reached at mike [at] onecounts.com. (suggested by Janet Fiero) Ubiqus (www.ubiqus.com) - Formerly RSi Communications, Ubiqus has a core staff of consultants with decades of experience in adult education using audience response voting systems. Our in-house staff and network of freelance technicians are specially trained and have logged thousands of successful events. From a 15-person focus group to a symposium of over 2000, Ubiqus has the audience response equipment, technicians and consulting expertise to make your meeting or event an overwhelming success. We can even supply the Reply Plus Audience Response System, the most powerful technology and software available in the Audience Response industry today. (recommended by Gina Sana, who said "We used Ubiqus for a few years for our Audience Response needs, the service was great. They went out of their way to make sure the meeting went well.") Jim Snider of iSolon.org also noted that because of the prevalence of use of keypad technology in college or public school classrooms, it's possible that these schools may have both underutilized keypads available and experts in this technology. For more about the use of keypads in educational settings, check out this article.
Mobile Device Response SystemsThe following organizations provide audience response services through mobile devices. TexttheMob (http://textthemob.com) - TexttheMob allows you to easily set up your own message boards and multiple choice questions for cell phones, with a free plan available. It is run by Urban Interactive Studio LLC, a technology consulting firm specializing in Web and mobile solutions. (suggested by Chris Haller) MobileActive (http://mobileactive.org) - MobileActive.org helps organizations to utilize mobile technology with data, tools, and how-to resources and helps people and organizations using this technology for social change to connect with one another. (suggested by Lars Hasselblad Torres) Poll Everywhere (www.polleverywhere.com) - Poll Everywhere is a text message voting application for live audiences using on-screen presentations. Participants can vote, comment, or ask questions to a presenter through text messages or Twitter. (suggested by Lars Hasselblad Torres) SMS Harvest (www.smsharvest.com) - A simple tool designed to be pretty low-tech (according to creator Luke Closs). Attendees text in thoughts, ideas or answer questions, and messages are grouped by tags you set up. You explore the results to make sense of all the feedback, and then share the results with your community. Useful for groups from 5 to 5000. Luke explains that "participants get a local phone number that they can send text messages to. The website shows a live feed of the responses, and stores the responses in different groups you set up. After, you can get at all of the responses for sense-making. Harvest administrators can set a group question, and add or remove tags during the event, right from their phones." You can try the example harvest here: http://smsharvest.com/event/demo Textizen (www.textizen.com) - An SMS-based surveying tool that has been used as part of an urban planning project in Philadelphia. "Open civic dialogue to new participants with a powerful mix of offline outreach and online engagement. We're citizen feedback for the digital age." SayZu (www.sayzu.com) - Analysis and engagement tool for online conversations. Really see whats being said on social media. Drill down, and share. Engage live audiences with constantly updating cloud visualizations. MobiOde (www.mobiode.com) - Mobiode offers survey and polling services which collect data from users through their mobile phones. Surveys and results are displayed online through the company's web interface. (suggested by Lars Hasselblad Torres) mClk (www.mclkonline.com) - According to the mClk website, "mClk is the audience response system for 21st Century classrooms and boardrooms." Questions are posted in PowerPoint, responses are submitted on participants' phones via text message, and results are presented instantly. Audience response systems "clickers" are proven to improve student learning and engage workshop participants. Students do not have to have a smart phone or data plan--text messaging is all that is required. (suggested by Rebecca Woulfe) PowerVote (www.powervote.com) - "PowerVote's electronic voting system is the perfect tool to engage and interact with your audience in real-time. It has been used effectively in a variety of sectors and business situations to measure audience response and present instantaneous results in clear graphical images." Features include: Easy-to-use lightweight voting keypads, ergonomic LCD screen*, Plug & Play USB vote receiver, Track and identify each voting keypad, Wireless Secure Transmission and One year Guarantee.

Explocity Pvt Ltd is a media and publishing company headquartered in Bangalore. The company was formed by Ramjee Chandran.[1] Explocity has city based publications across six cities in India, namely, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Delhi and Kolkata.
Corporate history[edit]
Prior to the inception of Explocity, Chandran first began a Bangalore based magazine, Bangalore This Fortnight, in 1989.[2] This was followed by the launch of the Bangalore Monthly and the Bangaloremag.com. The internet had just begun its journey in the late 1990s in India, when Chandran created Explocity.com in 1999.[3] Some of the initial funding was from media Mogul, Rupert Murdoch's News Corp.[4] Explocity.com has content like events, restaurants, hotel listings, shopping, nightlife and sightseeing in cities like New York, Dubai,[5] Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Delhi and Kolkata.
The Explocity guide (formerly known as CityInfo), was the next product from Explocity, which provides information on restaurants, places to visit, shopping, in cities around the world. It then began publishing lifestyle magazines like 080 (Bangalore), 044 (Chennai) and 040 (Hyderabad), followed by 022 (Mumbai) and 011 (Delhi'). A daily newsletter, MyTime, was also created. Explocity was one of the first companies in the world to introduce the software called Pagician for their digital magazines. Explocity also launched a city Movies Guide website online called Explocity Movies. Explocity also partners with Kingfisher (beer) to bring out the Kingfisher Explocity Great Food and Nightlife Guides. On the eve of its 21st anniversary, Explocity also launched an area specific destination guide for the Indiranagar area in Bangalore,[6] followed by the more recent guide to the Mumbai based shopping mall Palladium.
Explocity is the official publisher of the Dubai Shopping Festival 2010 and the Dubai Summer Surprises 2010.[7]
Products and events[edit]
- City guides
- MyTime: Daily events newsletters
- FirstFoodie: Weekend dining newsletters
- Executive Traveller Weekly: Weekly business traveller newsletter
- Executive Traveller: Monthly print magazine for business travellers
Explocity organised the Bangalore Restaurant Week which was a week-long event involving reportedly the best restaurants in Bangalore in November 2011.[8] The event started with 7 chefs from reportedly leading hotels in Bangalore, facing off in a cooking competition called King of Chefs.[9]
Explocity's weekend dining newsletter FirstFoodie was written about in IMPACT magazine's story about media houses in India that cater to food and beverages in January 2013.[10]
Explocity launched EXEC (now known as Executive Traveller) - reportedly, India's first magazine for business travellers - in April 2010.[11] A couple of years later, EXEC tied up with a smartphone content provider to serve its content on the iPhone, iPad and Android smartphones and tablet devices.[12]
Management history[edit]
CEO Ramjee Chandran's experience in the publishing industry began when he launched Bangalore This Fortnight, way back in 1989. Over the next few years, he launched a few more city centric offline and online properties.
- Article about Kingfisher partnering with Explocity for the Kingfisher Explocity Great Food and Nightlife Guides

Headshots - Austin, Texas
What is a Headshot?
A portrait that highlights a person's face, composed from the chest up and features their expression. It is less about fashion and more about the subject's facial features. A solid professional headshot has a shelf life of 5 years to a lifetime.
What is a Profile Portrait?
A Profile Portrait is a headshot of higher quality than the typical selfie that is used to increase the number of clicks a profile receives. It is the online first impression. It's designed for LinkedIn, company websites and email signatures.
How much does it cost for a Headshot?
It can cost anywhere from $100 to $350 for a headshot or Profile Portrait. The cost covers the photographer's time, studio time and the prints or the digital file. A headshot only used online is more cost effective than purchasing the high resolution file.
What should I wear for my headshot / head shot?
Solid simple fashion that does not distract from your main message and your smile. Black is slimming and photographs well.
What should be avoided for a headshot photo session?
Avoid bright colors, red lipstick, patterns, stripes, graphics, dots, busy ties, loud shirts and too much skin. We recommend wearing black, gray or white solid dress shirt with a blazer and solid black or gray tie.
What is a good background for a business headshot?
A simple white or gray background with a company shirt or professional business attire. The white background can be separated from the subject allowing use with other graphics.
What are the different types of Headshots/ Head shots?
- Corporate Brochures, Catalogs (Advertising Material)
- Social Media (LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram)
- Company Website (Internal/External)
- Articles Newspapers
- Email Newsletters
- Casting Websites
- Annual Reports
- Press Releases
- Online Dating
- Author Pages
- Biographies
- Résumé
What are the different types of Headshots/ Head shots?
Entertainment, Acting, Actors, Modeling, Corporate or Business Headshots, Speakers, Celebrities, Presenters, Government Officials, Law Enforcement, Military Leaders etc.
Do I need make-up or a hair stylist professionally done?
A good headshot can be used for the next 5 years. We highly recommend getting make-up and hair styled right before session. However, if you are needing to save some money you can opt out of having the make-up and hair styled professionally. This is not a requirement.

I will never again use another shower/tub mat after using these! They are like having a pedi spa in our bathtub or shower! Love them!

About Me Midrange Shopper
Love it in my shower, had foot surgery and its very secure. Simply rinse after each shower and let stand on end to drain.I am ordering another for our other shower. It's made well, not to thin or flimsly.Wouldn't sit on it, might be a little rough.
