Gallay Medical & Scientific - Auckland
Medical Supplies, Endoscopy
Fuse™ Full Spectrum Endoscopy™
With an impressive 330° viewing angle, Fuse™ is unlike any other endoscope available on the market today. Its distal tip contains an array of three cameras and seven LED light sources allowing clear and bright visibility far beyond what current technology offers.
See the Difference
Projecting an expanded view on three screens instead of one, the Fuse™ gives you the unseen views that traditional endoscopes are missing when dealing with difficult anatomy.
Increased Find Rate
A recent colonoscopy study comparing Fuse™ to traditional forward viewing (TFV) endoscopes found a significantly higher adenoma miss rate for TFV compared with Fuse™1. Precisely, the study found a 42% miss rate with TFV endoscopes and a low 8% miss rate with Fuse™1.
In another multi-center tandem trial, the Fuse™ endoscope system demonstrated the miss rate on adenomas with SFV was 41%. Out of 88 patients, a total of 48 adenomas were observed. SFV identified 28 adenomas. Fuse observed an additional 20 adenomas. This means an additional 69% more adenomas were detected by Fuse that standard, forward-viewing endoscopes missed3. Conversely, when the patient received a colonoscopy with Fuse first, followed by SFV, the researchers had an adenoma miss rate of only 7%3.
How was this achieved? Standard endoscopes provide no more than a 170° field of view. Fuse Full Spectrum Endoscopy provides a 330° field of view, allowing the endoscopist to see nearly twice as much anatomy as traditional endoscopes.

Furious Lullaby by Oliver De la Paz
Book DescriptionFurious Lullaby is both a celebration of and a eulogy to the body in the twenty-first century. The collection, which examines the larger concepts of salvation and temptation in a world of blossoming strife, includes a series of aubades - dramatic poems culminating with the separation of lovers at dawn. The lovers suffer a metaphysical crisis, seeking to know what is good, what is evil, and how to truly know the difference. Knowing, however, invites the terrible into their world. The Devil, a seductive trickster, haunts the landscape as a voice who dares each inquisitor to learn about mortality, morality, the beautiful, and the unspeakable through direct experience. "Furious Lullaby" offers a departure from the lighter prose poetry of de la Paz's "Names above Houses" and preserves the author's concern with the nature of human grace.

A woman and her friend were injured when they were jumped upon by a Kangaroo, while cycling in an Australian wine region.
Sharon Heinrich said on Monday she and her friend Helen Salter were cycling side by side along a tourist route in Clare Valley in South Australia on Wednesday, when she saw a large Kangaroo standing on a slight rise.
She added that as they passed, the Kangaroo bounded across the trail, landing with his long hind legs first on Heinrich's left torso and then on Salter's back. It knocked both of them off their bikes before hopping off, apparently unharmed.
Heinrich said she broke three ribs and will undergo surgery on Thursday for ruptured breast implants.
She also added that Slater suffered a concussion and whiplash.

This application claims the priority of U.S. Provisional Application Serial No. 60/224,647 entitled "A Laser Beam Patterning Device and Apparatus for Reshaping of Eyeglass Lenses by Ablation and Continuous Process Monitoring" filed on Aug. 8, 2000 the entire contents and substance of which are hereby incorporated in total by reference.
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a laser method for rapid and accurate shaping of optical lenses.
2. Description of Related Art
The use of ablation etching to pattern polymeric material is well known in the art. In U.S. Pat. No. 4,508,749, for example, Brannon et al. discloses an ultraviolet radiation based method for etching patterns in polyimide layers located on integrated circuit substrates, and subsequently depositing an electrical circuit pattern thereover to form electrical interconnections to elements of the integrated circuit. In U.S. Pat. No. 5,236,551, Pan describes a laser-based photoablative etching process for patterning a polymeric film which is subsequently used as a mask for chemical etching of patterns in an underlying metal layer.
Optical lenses produced from polymeric substances such as polycarbonate are well known in the art, and many standard molded lenses are items of commerce. Kohan, in U.S. Pat. No. 5,851,328, and Greshes in U.S. Pat. No. 6,074,579, among others, describe moulding methods for the manufacture of such plastic optical elements. Companies such as Vision-Ease Lens, Inc. of St. Cloud, Minn., and Optical Polymer Research, Inc. of Gainesville, Fla. manufacture polymers and polymer based lenses in a variety of shapes, sizes and optical densities. The lenses are molded for standard patient correction factors such as spherical, aspherical and astigmatic disorders.
Vision care instrumentation for measuring refractive error in a patient are manufactured by several companies such as Bausch and Lomb Vision Care of Rochester, N.Y. and Zeiss Humphrey Systems of Dublin, Calif. These systems have been commercially available for decades.
Instrumentation for measuring refractive corrections for lenses are available from companies such as Neitz Instruments Co. of Tokyo, Japan and Optikos Corporation of Cambridge, Mass. State-of-the-art instrumentation has the ability to measure lens contour to a surface height accuracy of 0.001 mm.
Although correction factors for a patient can be determined with a great deal of accuracy and precision, commercial lenses are provided with standard corrections which do not necessarily fit a given patient's individuals needs. Custom ground lenses are prohibitively expensive for most patients, as the process of custom grinding requires a highly skilled optician, with experience in lens reshaping. As a result, most patients must accept the standard correction lenses that are available, and consequently do not achieve optimum visual acuity.
Smith, in U.S. Pat. No. 5,350,374 discloses an apparatus and method for performing either photorefractive keratectomy or phototherapeutic keratectomy on the anterior surface of the cornea of the eye using a feedback controlled segmented laser beam.
Neefe, in U.S. Pat. No. 4,307,046 teaches that infrared lasers may be used as the cutting means for shaping a lens. Because the lens is rotated on a spindle in this method, however, the corrected surface is limited to a contour which is concentric with the spindle center.
It is clear from the foregoing analysis that a serious need exists for an economical method for recontouring optical lens surfaces so that correction factors more accurately reflect individual refractive corrections of patients. Such a customized three-dimensional contouring method is not taught in the prior art.
Briefly described, the invention comprises a method for making accurate and precise customized corrections to the surface of an optical lens. An electronic correction contour is generated from a measured refractive correction for a patient, and transferred to the surface of the lens by ablation etching with one or more laser pulses. After each of the laser pulses, the refractive properties of the lens are measured and compared to the electronic contour correction derived from a patient's refractive correction. The ablation etching is terminated in localized areas where the refractive properties match the electronic correction contour.
The invention may be more fully understood by reference to the following drawings.
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an apparatus in a preferred embodiment of the method of the present invention.
FIG. 2 illustrates the operation of a single undeflected micromirror.
FIG. 3 illustrates the operation of a single partially deflected micromirror.
FIG. 4 illustrates the relationship between intensity and ablation rate.
FIG. 5 depicts an alternative pattern generator using a transmissive or reflective mask.
FIG. 6a depicts a cross section of a lens prior to ablation etch patterning
FIG. 6b illustrates is similar to FIG. 6a with the first layer pattern etched to the second layer.
FIG. 6c is continues the process with additional patterns etched through the material to the final corrective contour.
FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram depicting a electronic tracking system.
FIG. 8 illustrates three different complex patterns which can be created.
FIG. 9a is a photomicrograph of a TMA mirror array with a human hair superimposed to show scale.
FIG. 9b shows the underlying actuator.
FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram of a TMA mirror array.
FIG. 11 is an exploded view of the TMA mirror array of FIG. 10.
FIG. 12 illustrates the principle of light modulation by the TMA micromirror array.
During the course of this description like numbers will be used to identify like elements according to the different views that illustrate the invention.
FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of a laser beam apparatus of use in a preferred embodiment of the method of the present invention. The apparatus includes a laser beam modifying system 11, an interface board 12, a computer 14, a computer input 16, laser optics 18, beam splitter 20, re-imaging optics 22, pattern detector and verifier 24, refractive measurement device 26, a laser 28, a index marks 34, a patient measurement system 34, and an XY table 36.
In the preferred embodiment of this invention, the laser modifying system 11 is a thin-film micromirror array as illustrated in FIG. 1. Thin-film micromirror 11 has a plurality of individual micromirrors 11 a,b,c . . . , each of which can be individually tilted with respect to incident laser beamlets. In actual practice, a laser beam emanating from laser 28 is split into a plurality of laser beamlets by laser optics 18, and then modulated and reflected by individual micromirrors 11 a,b,c . . . through re-imaging optics 20 onto the surface of lens 30. Individual control of the tilting of each micromirror 11 a,b,c . . . allows for modulation of the energy of each beamlet before reflection onto the surface of lens 30. When the mirror is not tilted, the laser energy is substantially blocked from the imaging optics 22. As the mirror angle increases the amount of energy directed toward the workpiece is increased, reaching a maximum at maximum tilt angle. The amount of energy that passes through to the lens 30 is linearly proportional to the tilt angle of each mirror as illustrated in FIGS. 2a,b (not tilted) and 3 a,b (partially tilted). FIG. 4 is a graph illustrating the relationship between energy intensity and typical ablation rate.
The orientation of each individual micromirror 11 a,b,c . . . is controlled by input 16 from computer 14 via an interface board 12, to create a plurality of reflected beamlets having a defined spatial energy density distribution pattern. A series of different patterns can be sequentially imaged onto lens 30 to achieve a desired ablation pattern.
Alternatively, the laser beam modifying system 11 may employ a transmissive or printed reflective mask 38 to generate the custom patterns required to re-contour a lens, as illustrated in FIG. 5. Transmissive masks, which block undesired energy and transmit a desired energy pattern onto the object to be re-contoured, are well known in the art. A printed reflective mask uses a mirror (suitable at the given laser wavelength) with an absorptive pattern, printed or deposited on the mirror surface. In those areas where the mirror is not covered with absorptive material, energy is reflected to the object. In those areas where the absorptive material is present, little or no energy is reflected. The resulting energy pattern produces the desired re-contouring of the object's surface. Through the use of a mirror with many randomly accessible patterns, the same refractive measurement system may be used to select the desired pattern to correct for deviations in the re-contouring process, ultimately achieving the desired end-point correction.
Yet another alternative for producing a 3-dimensional contour, involves the use of a positioning table, which moves the lens beneath a small beam. A laser spot beam is used to remove material at each specified position across the lens surface. The system computer coordinates the positioning table with the trigger of the laser. A schematic representation of the lens contouring process of the present invention is illustrated in FIGS. 6a-6 c. FIG. 6a depicts a standard molded lens manufactured from polycarbonate or similar transparent plastic. FIGS. 6b and 6 c illustrate successive ablations patterned by the laser modifying system 11. Each laser pulse results in a fixed degree of material removal, dependent upon the system fluence level. Typically, 0.1 to 0.3 microns of material are removed for fluence levels of 100 to 300 mJ/cm2. After each successive energy exposure, the lens is measured to determine the extent to which the correction is being achieved. Real time corrections to pattern generated by laser modifying system 11 are made to ensure that the desired endpoint contour is achieved.
The patient measuring system may use any number of techniques (such as wave front analysis) to create an initial refractive error function for the patient. The system computer uses this input to create a corrective contour to be etched into a standard contour lens. The desired corrective contour is analyzed by the computer to create a recontouring program for the lens. This program is based upon the energy source, the contour error (relative to an existing lens and the patient's need) and the lens material. The computer directs the laser and pattern generator (Mirror Array or other mask type system) to remove lens material with each pulse-pattern of the laser.
Typical end point detection processes known in the art and of use in the present invention include:
1) establishing ablation time/pulses versus depth for specific deposited materials in the layers,
2) establishing depth of the ablated layer optically between laser pulses using surface reflection as compared with the measurement of the layer depth in unablated areas,
3) establishing changes in reflectivity at the boundary of dissimilar layer materials,
4) measuring the amount of material removal by measuring its re-deposition on another substrate,
5) measurement of changes in material composition spectroscopically,
6) using separately deposited layer materials with the same thickness and composition as that used on the work piece overlaying metallic base materials to monitor the ablation etch process.
FIG. 7 illustrates a particular embodiment of the invention that accomplishes two dimensional translation of an energy source to track changes in the desired location of the energy application. The tracking technique includes a method for identifying the location of the desired position for application of the energy and feeding back that location to the two dimensional tracking device. Separately, the energy source is shaped to produce the desired pattern for energy application at the desired location as described above in relation to FIG. 1.
As shown in FIG. 7, the output of laser 28 is passed through a beam expander/homogenizer 18 to fill the field of the two dimensional micromirror array 11, an area larger than the desired energy application area imaged on the lens 30. The computer 14 sets only a portion of the micromirrors in the array to fill the desired two-dimensional shape required with the predetermined energy distribution. Alternate outline shapes of patterns on the work piece can be simple or complex and the energy distribution within boundaries of these patterns may be simple or complex as illustrated in FIG. 8.
The patterned image generated by micromirror 11 is passed through the beam splitter 20 to the lens 30. The reflected image pattern from the workpiece is reflected by the beam splitter 20 a the camera detector 26 which in turn feeds an image analyzer 38. The work piece index marks 32 are also seen by the camera detector 26 and are similarly available to the image analyzer 38. The image analyzer 38 establishes the relative position of the workpiece 30, index marks 32, and an energy pattern such as one depicted in FIG. 8. If the lens 30 shifts its position, the relative position of the workpiece index marks 32 and the energy pattern changes. This location change information is fed to computer 14, which in turn resets the micromirror array 11 to reposition the energy pattern on the lens 30 to reduce the displacement relative to the work piece index marks to an acceptably small error or zero. Camera detector 24 feeds the computer 14, the image of the micromirror array 11, from the beam splitter 20, to analyze and confirm the position and predetermined energy pattern integrity.
It should be noted that this electronic tracking system and pattern shaping invention trades source energy to accomplish tracking, i.e. if A1 is the area of the energy pattern desired, and A2 is the total area of the micromirror array illuminated by the source, the energy efficiency of the system is degraded by A1/A2. The key advantages of this approach include: that random energy application pattern shapes and rapid correction of location shifts can be accomplished much more rapidly than with conventional electromechanical systems.
An alternate implementation of this invention mounts the micromirrors on an electromechanical gimbal that is driven by the computer 14 to reduce the displacement relative to the workpiece index marks to an acceptably small error or zero. The advantage of this approach is to eliminate the efficiency loss cited above, since all of the energy illuminating the micromirrors is used within the predetermined pattern on the work piece.
Similarly, it is possible to accomplish the tracking by using other eletromechanical means including galvanometer mirror systems, and solenoid actuators.
Thin-film micromirror arrays 11 suitable for use in the present invention are made by Daewoo Electronics Co. Ltd. Korea under the trademark "Thin-film Micromirror Array (TMA).
The TMA, thin-film micromirror array 11, is an array of 1024�768 mirrors, each mirror measuring 49 microns�49 microns, with a panel size of 2.54 inches diagonal. The TMA is a reflective spatial modulator used to modulate light in television video projection. It is a suitable device for the ablation patterning with appropriate modifications to operate at UV wavelengths including UV grade optics and UV reflective mirrors.
Each TMA pixel is a monolithically integrated MEMS (Microelectromechanical Systems) device fabricated over a simple PMOS switch as illustrated in FIG. 9a. The pixel size in this earlier version is 97 microns by 97 microns. Each pixel consists of a micromirror and an actuator as shown in FIG. 9b. Each aluminum mirror has high reflectivity and excellent flatness for high optical efficiency, and the actuator has linear and fast response times, as well as mechanical and electrical reliability. It is also understood that micromirror array 1 can be replaced by other reflective/transmissive mask devices including patterned foil devices. FIG. 10 illustrates the TMA array structure.
The TMA uses thin film piezoelectric actuators in the form of micro-cantilevers. As shown in FIG. 11, a mirror is connected to the cantilevers themselves through a support post. The cantilevers themselves are anchored to the underlying substrate. A cantilever consists of the supporting layer, bottom electrode, piezoelectric layer, and top electrode. When an electric field is applied between the common electrode and the bottom electrode, the piezoelectric layer shrinks in the horizontal direction and expands in the vertical direction.
Since the neutral plane of the cantilever shifts toward the bottom of the electrode due to thickness of the supporting layer, the mechanical strain of the piezoelectric layer causes vertical deflection of the cantilever and a tilt of the mirror on top of it. FIG. 12 shows the effect of tilting the mirror. When there is no tilt, no light goes out of the modulation stop and when maximum defection of the mirror is achieved, the maximum amount of light is passed by the modulation stop. FIGS. 2 and 3 detail the operation of one pixel in the undeflected and partially deflected positions. As is shown in graph 2 b, the mirror deflection angle determines the amount of light that pass through the modulation or optical stop. In the case of the TMA, the piezoelectric material operates from 0 to 10 volts and the corresponding mirror deflection is from 0 to about 10 degrees.
It is also understood that other reflective mirror masks may be substituted for the micromirror array 11. Other micromirror array manufacturers include Texas Instruments (Dallas, Tex.) and Standard MEMS. One such system is a foil array of patterns, sequentially changed to modify the ablation etches on successive layers of a multi-layered structure as illustrated in FIGS. 6a and 6 b. It is also understood that the work piece 30 may consist of tissue. One such tissue system is an eye, whose corneal tissue is ablated to modify its refractive properties, e.g. photorefractive keratectomy.
While the invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiment thereof, it will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art that modifications can be made to the structure and elements of the invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as a whole.

During my childhood and teen years I rarely went to church unless invited by a friend. Not because I didn't want to be part of a religion, but because my parents raised my sister and I to be open-minded. They didn't want to shove any certain religion down our throats. They wanted us to choose what was best for us.
Now that I'm an adult, I do identify myself as a Christian. It took a lot of time, conversations, and a healthy dose of church and Bible to help me make that choice. I would definitely not call myself a conservative Christian by any means. My fiance and I rarely make it to church because our lives are so hectic, and there are things that "Christians" teach that we feel isn't very "Christian" at all. One of my biggest issues before I ever became a Christian was the idea that God couldn't love gay people. Some of the kindest, most loving people I know are gay, and that includes my fiance who was exclusively gay before he fell in love with me. I feel that sometimes, Christians get a little too carried away with judging other people, when really, that job belongs to God.
We haven't told many people that we are poly because we live in a small town and it's just not something that is common here. But when I think about being a Christian or being the best Christian I can be, I focus on the love that God has for me and everyone else. God is supposed to love everyone unconditionally right? Well, that's what I believe. I focus on the love, not the hate.

More than ever, visual content is taking over the web. Propelled by the rise of smartphones and social channels, we have witnessed an explosive growth of photography in recent years.
In this landscape, where a bazillion photos compete for attention, the quality of a photo has become key for better conversions and powerful distribution. Filters, adjusting crop & zoom and focus matter. Anyone who has used social ads knows how much impact these edits can have on ad conversions.
At the same time, creative editing possibilities have grown and have become much more accessible through the plethora of mobile and web based editors, therefore, adding text, shapes, gradients and backdrops to images has never been simpler. Combined, these functions help to create a unique and distinct look, the photos become so-called 'creatives'.
As a result, a growing number of companies across sectors and verticals consider adding photo editing capabilities to their products. But still, even a small feature like crop or text overlay involves significant development and even more maintenance efforts, especially when the number of supported platforms add up. It's a delicate decision how much time, effort and focus you want to put into something that adds value to your product, but is not part of the core functionality.
Almost two years ago, we at 9elements had to make a similar decision. We were working with several clients that asked for a photo editor, and from the perspective of our product leads, none of the available solutions were the right fit. Alas, we realised that this was an untapped opportunity, so we decided to build an editor SDK that allowed us to reuse it across several products. This is how our PhotoEditor SDK was born. The reason we decided to build our own SDK was the need for value propositions that were missing in other solutions. These form our product's very DNA today.
Right from the beginning, it was important that the SDK offered a wide range of customizations. As product people, we need that flexibility to make the editor blend into any product and seamlessly fit into its design without affecting the UX. Any customer should be able to change the look of the editor, select only the functions they need for their use case, and, if required, use their own assets for fonts, stickers etc.
Client Side Rendering
We wanted to give our clients maximum control over the editor, therefore we built up a technology stack that allows client-side rendering with high performance. This freed both us and our clients from any server-side dependencies.
Non-destructive photo editing
Another critical decision was to change the initial rendering pipeline to a non-destructive editing mode. This allows users to make changes to previous edits without affecting the other edits already made. From a user's perspective this means that all creative decisions can be changed at any time: Apply a filter on an image, add text and shapes, go back and change the filter without losing any of the edits you made for the text and shapes. This stack allows for endless new possibilities in the creative flow, which we didn't want to narrow down at any cost.
Becoming a successful bootstrapped company
Our value proposition proved to be successful: Startups as well as large tech companies and big brands eventually licensed our editor. We started serving our solution to millions of end-users, which in turn helped us improve our SDK and prioritise our roadmap further down the line. Today, our solution is part of a broad range of tools and products with new possibilities; a very rewarding feeling for our team. Messengers added our live filters, brush and text tools, Document management integrated image annotations and mosaics, Cloud storage evolved to become platforms for productivity apps, photo editing among the first ones. Ad management tools facilitate the work of ad creatives. You get the picture.
We couldn't be happier, as this product feels extremely close to what we have been doing at 9elements before. On the one side, we are building a creative tool that helps end-users to design and create. On the other side, we are building a tool for developers, a challenge we gladly accept. What started as a side business has grown to a team of 12 people. (By the way, we're hiring.) Today, we're excited to kick off the next phase of our company. Stepping out of stealth and sharing insights of our business and product is long overdue. And will hit an important milestone: We are releasing brand new versions of our SDKs, starting with the next version of our iOS SDK today. The next year will be full of exciting updates, so stay tuned!
Use-Case: Charity app for content creation and micro-donations
Elbi Digital:
A robust hybrid image editing solution at the core of the app for easy content creation
Results: Easy and seamless content creation with Photos, Doodles, and motivational messages
The Elbi app aims to connect people with charity organizations and beneficiaries alike and facilitate the social engagement and donation process. Users can support charity organizations via a "Love Button" with micro-donations and get creative for selected good causes. If users don't donate directly, they can help fundraise money with their content. To enable their users to produce motivating and exceptional content, Elbi had to provide them with a powerful creative tool. "Our app has photo-editing at the very core of its experience and the editor has been invaluable in making that vision happen. There are no other tools on the market up to the quality of PhotoEditor SDK, so it was an easy choice to have it be at the heart of Elbi," says Toby Green former lead developer at Elbi.
For the previous version of the Elbi app, the team built their own creative tool that worked with iOS only. When they decided to reforge their app, the team at Elbi wanted to follow a different approach. "When we rebuilt the app we wanted it to be a hybrid solution and not only iOS like the previous one, so we abandoned our existing solution and were looking for an existing library. I spent a lot of time researching photo editing tools and did a feasibility study on all the available editors and PhotoEditor SDK came top of the list" says Toby Green.
With the PhotoEditor SDK the developers at Elbi were able to swiftly rebuild their app "We would never have been able to do this so quickly without the editor" says Green, "the documentation was great so it was very easy to get it all up and running and the support was incredibly patient and helpful. They always responded quickly and were happy to spend time resolving even difficult-to-track-down issues". The SDK seamlessly integrates into the app providing an intuitive solution for Elbi's content creation section. "It really looks like it's part of the product," says Toby Green.
"The product is a 10/10; it is the best hybrid tool available. And in general, I would say one of the finest teams I've ever worked with; they've been very supportive with regards to custom support, adding functionalities and discussing integration and they helped us getting everything working 100%," concludes Toby Green. With the PhotoEditor SDK Elbi facilitates the charitable engagement of its users and helps people all around the globe to do good on the go.
Use-Case: Scrivito: A Native Cloud CMS built with Ruby on Rails
Requirements: A simple and intuitive photo editing solution to provide their clients with seamless and easy asset management
Results: A versatile image editor within Scrivito's Content Browser
The native cloud service Scrivito is tailored to meet the requirements of editors worldwide and provides a clean and simple What-you-see-is-what-you-get, drag & drop interface that enables its users to change their websites and content on the fly; eliminating complex tree hierarchies and all the guesswork that goes along with it. Since successful websites hinge on high-quality pictures, Infopark wanted to equip its users with a robust image editing solution. "We wanted to provide our users with a coherent and easy-to-use working environment, and because most editors don't have Photoshop or a proper skillset for other sophisticated programs, we were searching for a solution that would enable our users to quickly and professionally edit their images within Scrivito" says Thomas Witt, co-founder and Director of Product & Business Development at Infopark.
Before integrating the PhotoEditor SDK into their award-winning service Scrivito, Infopark tried to tackle the problem themselves with a simple, self-made solution based on ImageMagick. The editor could perform operations such as rotate, crop or flip "but that solution didn't have an appealing UI, nor was it easy to use" says Thomas Witt. "After evaluating some solutions, we felt that the PhotoEditor SDK would be a good match because it is the easiest to use for both developers and users and also has a nice UI that doesn't look cluttered."
With the SDK the developers at Infopark accomplished in days what would've otherwise taken weeks. "Our developers loved that the integration was really straightforward and that everything you need like APIs and documentation is easy to find and of very good quality. And when we had questions, the support team responded very quickly and extensively" says Witt. With the PhotoEditor SDK Infopark provides their customers with a native image editing solution that seamlessly integrates into Scrivito's content browser and further facilitates the creation of websites and content. "Asset management is critical to our users, and we get a lot of positive feedback for our solution" says Thomas Witt.
"The PhotoEditor SDK is a great product, it does exactly what it's supposed to do, and we never encountered any difficulties. It even provides more functionalities than our customers would ever use. The support was very fast and helpful, and the documentation is extensive and comprehensible" concludes Witt. With the PhotoEditor SDK Scrivito allows for an intuitive and straightforward approach to both content and website creation. Unlike other CMS Scrivito now enables its users to creatively experiment with their website assets and make impromptu decisions for their design.

By Seth Livingstone, USA TODAY
For the first time, American League stolen base champ Carl Crawford was caught stealing twice in the same game in Tampa Bay's 12-9 loss at the Texas Rangers on Tuesday.
Devil Rays manager Joe Maddon suspected "gamesmanship" as much as the arm of Texas catcher Gerald Laird.
Maddon said Wednesday that the Rangers appeared to muddy the track around first base, possibly in an attempt to hold Crawford, who stole 58 bases last season, in check.
"The first-base area was rather damp," Maddon said. "I don't know if there was a sprinkler problem or whatever there might have been, (but) there was a little old-fashioned gamesmanship involved there."
Rangers general manager Jon Daniels acknowledged that home teams will tailor facilities to create a "home-field advantage" but was caught off guard by Maddon's comments.
"That would be the first I've heard of it," Daniels said. "Everything here is on the up and up."
Added Texas manager Ron Washington: "We're not doing anything to slow those guys down. They play their game. We play ours. (But) if we're in their head, good."
Crawford is the eighth player in major league history to have three seasons with at least 50 stolen bases by 25, but was 1-for-4 on stolen base attempts going into Wednesday's game. —

With so many options for long and short stay both Goa and Gurugram (Gurgaon) are truly turning out to be the meccas for Luxury Guest Houses and Rooms in India. While both cities are contrasting in their topography and set up – there is no denying that there is a definite boom in serviced living in both these cities.
The satellite city of Gurgaon, 30km south of New Delhi, has turned out to be a hub city in its own right- whether it be shopping, offices or even large malls Gurgaon truly has it all.
Some of the highlights of the dynamic city are its stunning wide open spaces and winding roads, in addition, are also spots such as the Nature Valley Park (open day by day from 5 am to 10 pm; passage free) in Sector 29, and it serves up a lot of greenery in one space.
Gurgaon or Gurugram got its name from the name of Guru Dronacharya; as the town was given as guru daks Hina (offering to an educator) to him by his understudies. Along these lines, the locale has been presence since the seasons of Mahabharata. Gurgaon is encompassed by Delhi and Rajasthan and is the second largest city in the Indian State of Haryana and is even called the crown jewel of Haryana. It has the third highest per capita wage in India after Chandigarh and Mumbai, on account of the quick commercialization and development of the city in the previous 15 years.
Among the popular tourist spots in Gurgaon are the Sohna lake, Sultanpur Bird Sanctuary, Damdama Lake and the Kingdom of Dreams and Ambience Mall, one of the greatest shopping center in India.Gurgaon is additionally well known for its bars and bottling works, its bistros and eateries.
Things To do in Gurugram
CyberHub: It is an uptown gathering center, known for its energetic nightlife. It is definitely a must visit for foodies and entertainment buffs.
Kingdom Of Dreams: Kingdom of a dream is alive excitement zone that conveys as far as anyone is concerned the rich social legacy of India through numerous occasions.
Sultanpur Bird Sanctuary: Home to around 250 types of local fowls and more than 190 transitory species, Sultanpur Bird Sanctuary is situated in a low-lying boggy region off Farukhnagar Gurgaon area.
Damdama Lake: Damdama Lake is a perfect area for picnickers. Regularly frequented by Delhiites and others, the place offers different activities like hot air ballooning, parasailing, kayaking and rock climbing. You can spot more than 190 types of local and transient winged creatures around the lake as well Situated around 20 km from Gurgaon, Damdama lake is one of the best choices for a thrilling day in Gurgaon. Gradually getting to be distinctly prominent as an enterprise hotspot, the lake is best gone to mid-Winter. Encompassed by rough slopes and invigorating greenery, drifting, shake climbing and zorbing are a portion of the things you can do here.
With the boom in tourism, the demand for short stay accommodation in Goa has also gone up. The Luxury Guesthouses have come up as a budget stay alternative to hotels in Goa. The home-stay style guest houses are part service apartments and part bed and breakfast properties. What separates these properties from traditional Serviced stay is that there is no kitchens and food is normally serviced from the central kitchen in the property. The hassle of self-cooking is taken away in guest houses and you in-turn have the ability to order from the hotel's in-house kitchen.
The emergence of the organized sector of Guest houses in India is indeed heartening, as it provides travelers a good opportunity to experience a city and live as a local as well as save money whole traveling.
Your reviews are very important to us

Author Biography - Ernest Schwiebert
Ernest G. Schwiebert, Jr.'s first book, Matching the Hatch, which appeared in 1955, is considered an angling classic and coined the phrase, "match the hatch." Before he was thirty, Schwiebert fished the major rivers of Europe and South America as well as the waters of the United States and Canada, and gained world-wide recognition as an authoritative writer-conservationist, artist, and angler. Life magazine profiled him shortly after he published Matching the Hatch.Schwiebert began to write and publish numerous and important magazine articles on fly-fishing through the 1960s and '70s, and his later books included Nymphs, 1973, and his two-volume Trout, 1984. Paul Schullery's American Fly Fishing, A History includes fourteen references to Schwiebert's books. A frequent public speaker, Schwiebert served as a pioneer in the fishery conservation movement in America and helped found Trout Unlimited, the Theodore Gordon Flyfishers, and the Federation of Fly Fishers. He served on the scientific advisory boards of TU, FFF and The Nature Conservancy, and was a Director of the TGF. In 1997, he received the International Wild Trout Symposium's A. Starker Leopold Award for his conservation efforts. He died in December 2005, survived by his wife, Sara, and son, Erik.

Brazil Prosecutor Says Rousseff's Accounting Tricks Not a Crimeby
Prosecutor recommends separate probe into unathorized payments
The report has no legal bearing on the impeachment process
A federal prosecutor in Brazil found that the accounting maneuvers that form part of the request to impeach Dilma Rousseff are not a crime, though they do represent an "abuse of power," according to the report filed Thursday.
The report comes two months after the Senate temporarily removed the president from office to face an impeachment trial, which is expected to conclude in August. Rousseff's critics say she broke the law when she delayed payments to state banks in order to mask the size of the budget deficit. Rousseff says her actions don't justify her removal from office.
The prosecutor, Ivan Claudio Marx from the Federal District in capital city Brasilia, wrote the report as part of a criminal investigation into her accounting practices that has no legal bearing on the impeachment process. He wrote that the budget maneuvers were a violation of the contract between the government and state banks, but not an illicit loan.
He recommended closing the criminal probe on the accounting practices. He called for a new investigation into evidence the government made payments without congressional authorization, which he says may have been illegal. A federal judge will decide whether to accept his recommendations.
An aide to Acting President Michel Temer said the report doesn't alter expectations that the Senate will oust Rousseff when it holds the impeachment vote next month.

School's out, the sun is shining, and everyone is outside enjoying the weather…it's summertime! While we're all for sharing that mellow summer vibe, there is one time when we don't want you to let your guard down—behind the wheel. Whether you're driving to the beach or going to a cookout across town, GEICO reminds you to keep your attention where it belongs: on the road ahead of you. That's why we're launching the Stand Against Distracted Driving campaign. By supporting this initiative, you'll be making a difference for yourself and others—when you take the pledge online to drive distraction-free, GEICO will also make a donation to a worthy cause on your behalf. It's a win-win.
Once you make your pledge, you'll be able to select and support (at no cost to you) one of the following organizations: the American Cancer Society, National Safety Council, or Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. Once we reach one million pledges, we'll donate up to $100,000 total, split among these organizations according to the percentage of pledges received. After you've pledged, share our campaign on social media using the hashtag #StandAgainstDD so your friends and family can participate as well. They don't need to be GEICO policyholders to pledge.
The statistics related to distracted driving are startling. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 431,000 people were injured in crashes that involved distracted drivers in 2014 (distraction.gov). While your eyes may only be off the road for an average of five seconds while texting, if you're driving at 55 mph, that's enough time to cover the length of a football field blindfolded (distraction.gov). While texting or talking on a cell phone is a common distractor, there are plenty of other actions that can draw our attention away from the road, including talking to passengers, eating and drinking, personal grooming, reading, using a navigation system, or adjusting the radio. Distracted driving is dangerous driving, so keep your eyes on the road, your hands on the wheel, and your mind on arriving to your destination safely.
We all share the same highways and byways, so let's look out for each other this summer. Help us spread the word that distracted driving affects all of us on the road—make the pledge, select your favorite charity or nonprofit, and ask your friends to stand with you.

Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Live at Fillmore West in San [VINYL] (Vinyl)
Like Mark said the sound quality is terrible: some tracks are almost unlistenable with the vocals barely audible. The EQ is like a very small crappy transistor radio. I would avoid this unless you absolutely have to have everything LZ because frankly there's a lot of live Led available of far better quality. Packaging is a bit cheap and nasty too
