Highlights from Streatham Festival 2016
The Streatham Festival from the 2nd to the 9th July 2016 was bigger and better than ever before. It showcased the best of local talent in wonderful and varied venues.
I was able to support the festival organisers with some assistance from fellow local photographers Ajit, Helena and Maisy in capturing the events that took place as part of 'Streatham Festival does Photography'. This included …
West End Show Tunes were performed at The Rookery at Streatham Common by a great 5 piece. Prosecco corks were being popped and parakeets flew overhead on a warm summers evening whilst everyone enjoyed some great music.
On the Friday, it was off to the British Home where Will Rutter had assembled a fusion of very different acts for the Folk of the Wood's Festival Ceilidh (kay-lee).
There were a mixture of musicians playing in the main theatre hall and chapel. Latin spirit was there with flamenco music and dancing with La Morenita, Polish folk dancing bringing amazing fun and energy with Orleta. Throughout was wild dancing with all those in attendance joining in. Bringing the evening to a crescendo was Jah Screechy who had young, old and even infirm on their feet with reggae hits. A great night!
Taken from the Camden Crawl but being south of the river (and better) this was the fourth year for The Strut and it was a year that really found its stride. A music gig trail over one night in Streatham on 9th July featuring music for all tastes, including:
- electro-soul from All the People
- Helen McDonald & Future Groove with their jazz, funk, soul combo
- DB5s with 60's and 70's classics
- Elton John tribute who wasn't so much a doppelgänger for Elton but could have been the man himself
- Hipster Ray, a ska punk band
- Likeminded Fools – a band truly like no other. It was missing a washboard player but didn't miss any of the zany theatrics whilst the trio being excellent musicians.
Back at The British Home, this time for a fete type event for the Family Fun Day. Local stallholders, live acts, exotic pets, food galore to name a few items to entertain the crowds. The weather was with us and to bring further sunshine, Chuka Umunna also made a guest appearance.
Looking forward to next Streatham Festival 2017!

There has been some controversy over marketing ads aimed at children...and, what to do about it. (Stick with me here)
A new study in JAMA Pediatrics is pointing fingers at fast food companies for not making wellness attempts better known to children.
Lead study author, James Sargent, MD said:
The advertisement would be deceptive by industry standards, yet their self-regulation bodies took no action to address the misleading depiction.
The fast food industry spends somewhere between $100 to 200 million dollars a year on advertising to children, ads that aim to develop brand awareness and preferences in children who can't even read or write, much less think critically about what is being presented.
So are children really not able to identify apples and milk anymore, or is it completely understandable? A video below depicts the children's responses to a Burger King ad.
What the study is trying to point out, reminds me of this satire from Parks & Recreation:
But, just like this satire, do the researchers understand that Burger King purposely marketed their "apple fries" that way? Duh. They received a "D" from Food Facts for the ingredients in the caramel dipping sauce that comes with the apples. High fructose corn syrup - so natural and healthy for kids!
On the other hand, celebrity chef Jamie Oliver tried to show how many children cannot identify basic vegetables. Heavy handedness and TV editing aside, this clip also speaks for paltry education and little exposure by reading. Yet, public schools constantly have health campaigns that stress eating well. There's a disconnect somewhere. What's the real problem?
The researchers above aptly pointed out brand marketing techniques like toys in kids' meals. In the end, they appear to want the meals themselves and the ads restricted. Will that help?
The problem is state-corporate pressure to accept and carry the torch for behavior modification. Especially on children who do not get a choice. It's an incredibly burdensome expectation. Plus, it's clearly a conflicting tug-of-war.
The bottom line for fast food companies and their marketing techniques - is simply their bottom line. They are attempting to dodge health policy changes and reharvest their failing millennial market with "wellness" foods. Millennials are the ones having kids now and are leaving fast food places in droves.
Taco Bell forgot about children a long time ago. However, they drastically felt the loss of millennials, which is exactly why they rolled out a breakfast menu on March 27th. They are also trending as the "cool friend" to millennials by humorously interacting with them on social media. I didn't need articles to alert me to that - I'm the target market!
I'm not denying the predatory nature of fast food companies - economically barren food deserts are a mecca for them and they jam their foods with refined and addictive ingredients (MSG much?). A child doesn't have much food choice, so naturally they're going to crave fast food - it's designed that way. And it's a natural response from a child - not a morally wrong or abnormal response that science needs to probe heavily. Also, who are all of them to determine what's healthy? Is that why people get fast food? Is pasteurized milk and pesticide apples sprayed with preservatives a better alternative?
It all boils down to behavior modification under the banner of public health. Specifically, adult behavior modification. Just like with fast food companies and entertainment morals, it's always a choice - this or that. Why? Why - when real attempts to change things and allow people to eat better are undermined and called kooky and unscientific. I doubt it's really about helping obesity rates and public healthcare costs - after 50 years and no end of research, health issues continue to increase. And why place the burden of critical choice on young children? Obviously, with all the public health exposure, something is not reaching them. Oh yeah, they don't have a choice.
I've just sampled from five different tentacles trying to get in on your child's personal food life. A child who cannot get into a car and drive to get food (hopefully), who isn't doing the shopping (hopefully) and who cannot read or write. Why do the government, fast food corporations, entertainment industry, school systems or even science have anything to do with your child's food plate? The actual intents behind the new "healthy" policy push are a whole other story.
Here are some parents who decided what to serve and how to present it:

To stay competitive, manufacturers have to be flexible and react quickly to market demands. One of the requirements for fulfilling customer expectations is a flexible manufacturing facility. Factories of the future are easily adaptable and operate close to the limits of their technical capacity. In order to meet market demands, you need a flexible layout solution, which allows designers working on new builds, factory extensions or modifications to gain a comprehensive overview of the entire factory.
By integrating our solutions with your existing systems, we can help you to quickly produce project estimates, and make and propagate changes.
A visualisation or walk-through of an entire factory with all the equipment in place allows your customers to get a detailed overview of all the project data.
Quickly Design Entire Manufacturing Systems
You can rely on CAD Schroer's solutions to support you from initial factory planning all the way through to the implementation of your ideas by capturing a high level of detail even in the early project phases. Our software allows you to quickly lay out and visualise entire manufacturing systems, such as materials handling equipment, bottling or packaging lines.
Factory Layout & Modelling Services
Do you need to quickly kick off factory modification or integration projects? Do you want to examine, visualise and communicate potential changes in 3D first?
CAD Schroer can model your existing facilities in 3D based on your 2D plans, then provide the software that allows you to quickly make design changes and assess their impact.

Space Technology Showcase, November 2014
Space Technology Showcase
The Centre for EO Instrumentation and Space Technology (CEOI-ST) hosted its Fourth Biennial Technology Showcase on Thursday 13th November 2014 in London. The Showcase featured the practical outcomes of many years of research, discussing the installations, hardware, software, and results of very different types of Sensor and Instrument Technologies. The Showcase also highlighted new research programmes underway. There were opportunities for attendees to see some of the developments, and to meet the teams.
The presentations from the Showcase are now available to download.
- Welcome (Mick Johnson, CEOI-ST Director)
- Optical and Quantum Technologies for Earth Observation at the European Space Agency (Bruno Leone - ESA)
- Airborne Synthetic Aperture Radar technologies and product generation – Relevance to Spaceborne Systems (Geoff Burbidge - Airbus DS Ltd)
- Adhesive free bonding: from academic origin to industrial application (Christian Killow - University of Glasgow)
- UK Technology Development for Spaceborne Atmospheric Limb-Sounding Missions (Brian Moyna - STFC RALSpace)
- New UK developments in THz technology for Earth observation (Edmund Linfield - University of Leeds & Simon Rea - STFC RALSpace)
- ESA Technology Transfer Activities within the UK (Matthew Edwards - ESA TTO)
The CEOI-ST has a vision to develop and strengthen UK expertise and capabilities in Earth observation (EO) instruments and works to position the UK to win leading roles in future international space programmes. The programme supports mainstream projects and smaller 'seedcorn' projects, both selected through Open Calls to the EO community.
However, although the technical drive has been to produce instruments for space, in many cases the resulting technologies have non-space applications. A number of sectors which could be potential beneficiaries of such technologies include healthcare, defence and security, analytical instrumentation, marine industries and environmental.
The event was open to all interested parties and aimed to:
- Highlight collaborative opportunities emanating from remote sensing technologies in space
- Outline the particular needs in Earth Observation for spin-in technologies
- Showcase a number of CEOI projects
The format for this one day event included a schedule of formal presentations – outlining technology needs and collaborative opportunities and several of the CEOI-ST projects. Another key feature was the exhibition element, showcasing CEOI-ST projects
Benefits of attending:
- Hear from leaders in the Earth observation industry about the knowledge exchange potential of the technologies
- Learn about the latest developments in Earth Observation instrumentation and their relevance to other areas, as well as potential technology needs
- See first-hand the CEOI funded technologies and talk to project managers at the showcase exhibition
- Network within this growing and vibrant community and meet individuals from other industries and institutions
The full programme is available here.

A comparison of compact SUVs with outstanding fuel economy: Kia Sportage vs Ford Edge.
A crossover or compact SUV is what you need when you want more room and power than what a regular family car offers, but you don't need the brute strength and large size of a regular SUV. A Ford Edge vs. Kia Sportage comparison covers two models that are both considered crossovers, even though the Edge is a larger and more powerful vehicle than the Sportage. When it comes time to choose your new crossover, let Buyerlink connect you with local dealers to set up test drives and receive custom price estimates.
The Ford Edge has the following advantages:
- Large, powerful engine
- Roomy interior
- Stable, comfortable ride
- Automatic transmission is standard
The Kia Sportage has the following advantages
- Lower price
- Better gas mileage, especially with optional high-performance engine
- Unique exterior design
- Excellent standard features for price
Ford Edge specs
The Edge sells for about $7,000 more than the Sportage, and you do get something for the extra money you spend, especially when it comes to the powertrain. The standard engine specs for the Edge are as follows:
- Engine size: 3.5 liter
- Number of cylinders: six
- Arrangement: V6
- Horsepower: 285 at 6,500 revolutions per minute (rpm)
- Torque: 253 foot-pounds at 4,000 rpm
- Gas mileage in base configuration: 19 mpg city/27 mpg highway
- Paired with six-speed shiftable transmissions.
The Ford Edge also has a more powerful engine option:
- Engine size: 3.7 liter
- Number of cylinders: six
- Arrangement: V6
- Horsepower: 305 at 6,500 rpm
- Torque: 280 foot-pounds at 4,000 rpm
- Gas mileage in typical configuration: 19 mpg city/26 mpg highway
- Paired with six-speed shiftable transmissions.
Kia Sportage specs
Kia also offers two engine options for the Sportage. The basic engine specifications are as follows:
- Engine size: 2.4 liter
- Number of cylinders: four
- Arrangement: inline
- Horsepower: 176 at 6,500 rpm
- Torque: 168 foot-pounds at 4,000 rpm
- Gas mileage in typical configuration: 20 mpg city/27 mpg highway
- This engine is paired with a six-speed manual transmission.
The more advanced Sportage engine is actually smaller than the base engine, yet it is quite powerful:
- Engine size: 2.0 liter
- Number of cylinders: four
- Arrangement: inline
- Horsepower: 260 at 6,500 rpm
- Torque: 269 foot-pounds at 4,000 rpm
- Gas mileage in typical configuration: 21 mpg city/28 mpg highway
- This engine is paired with a six-speed shiftable automatic transmission.
When it comes to safety, the Kia Sportage gets slightly better car reviews than the Ford Edge based on tests conducted by two major highway safety testing authorities. The Edge does have an edge when it comes to standard features, including navigation accessories and an automatic transmission even with the base model. This is expected, though, given the price differential. The Kia Sportage has quite a few standard features, such as Bluetooth and an iPod jack, which are not included with the base model of the Ford Edge.
The Ford Edge is roomier, but in some aspects, such as front headroom and front legroom, the differences are very slight. The Edge has more room for interior cargo storage, and its maximum towing capacity is 3,500 pounds, compared to 2,000 pounds for even the top Sportage model.
If you need towing power, the Ford Edge is your clear choice. If you just need a family vehicle with a bit of extra room and the ability to tow a boat out to your summer abode and back a couple of times a year, you might as well take advantage of the lower purchase price and lower cost of ownership of the Kia Sportage.
Get local price quotes for the Ford Edge vs Kia Sportage now!
Before you make your final decision, consult an automotive buyer's guide for more information and to find out about other crossover models that may fulfill your needs. No reviews are more accurate than conducting your own Ford Edge vs. Kia Sportage comparison by test-driving each model at a local dealership.

The Marmot Colfax 4P Tent is a versatile tent for camping with your small family. The tent itself fits 4 or less people and converts quickly from tent to sun shade. Plenty of mesh throughout the tent body allows cool breezes to flow on hot summer nights and the vestibule is removable, so you can determine how much protection you need. The footprint is included to protect the floor of your tent and interior pockets throughout the interior hold small items so you don't step on them trying to get to your sleeping bag. The back door doesn't have a vestibule, but can be shut off to rain, while still allowing easy access for a quick exit in the middle of the night.
So sorry, but only 4 items are allowed for comparison, so we're comparing the first 4. I blame the gnomes and so should you.
Would you like to compare the products you have selected now?

House Paper Craft | Shapes
Practice| Alphabet Letter H
Preschool Lesson Plan Printable Activities
|This activity will help children learn shapes, colors
and how shapes create things. Present or reinforce letter H is for House
You can also focus on other themes such as: My Home, a season, weather conditions or a holiday event, such a winter holiday or other special holiday your family celebrates to portray in the house scene.
Activity 1: Alphabet Lesson Plan for H is for House or Home Activities - Ages 2.5+
This is an opportunity to present letter H for the first time or reinforce letter recognition.
Letter Presentation:
This poster image focuses on the upper case letter. Show the children how the letter H is part of the house. Discuss that the word home and house both have the h initial sound.
Activity 2: Book Activity: The Shape of Things author Dayle Ann Doods,
Illustrated by Julie Lacome
Refer to this related book activity to present how shapes form things. It is the perfect companion to presenting the house craft below. Tell the children they will make a house made of shapes.
Activity 3: Easy Shapes House or Home Craft
The black and white version of the shapes template allows for more creativity to decorate the shape pieces separately with a variety of materials, then cut out and glue to the house template.
Print house template and positioning template. Suggestion: Print positioning template on light blue paper for a blue sky background.
Print shapes template in color or black and white.
1. Decide on what season and weather conditions you would like to portray for the house scene: spring, summer, fall or winter, and then choose a sunny, rainy, or snowy day, or a holiday event. Select materials, colors and textures based on your scene choice.
2. Cut small pieces of construction paper to make shingles on the roof triangle. This same technique can be used to fill the small triangle pieces that will form the pine trees with small pieces of green paper. 3. Glue different colors of tissue paper on the pieces, instead of coloring, and then cut out excess.
4. Add decorations to windows and doors: a button for the door knob or small pieces of wrapping paper to make curtains on the window.
5. Add flowers and other plants to the front of the house, or yellow, orange red construction paper to form fall leaves, or cotton balls for snow.
6. Use small pieces of blue yarn to resemble falling rain or make a picket fence to see rectangle forms.
7. Add a sun to the scene and fill the cloud with cotton balls for a Spring or Summer scene.
8. Decorate the home for a particular holiday, like Christmas --put sticker decorations on the door (wreath), and decorate the trees. Christmas stickers or left over wrapping paper can be used to add these elements.
9. Stickers are also a great option to add other elements to discuss the seasons, climate/weather. You can help child draw in people figures of your family and pets to reinforce a My Home (family) theme.
Other activities:
* Set wooden blocks or Lego blocks for children to make houses.
* After the children have completed their house ask them to describe them: the colors, the shapes and anything they may want to express about their creations.

Saitek Gamers Blue Lit Keyboard Reviewskinny , -
Nik's Thoughts
So it looks great but how does it respond? Well, the keyboard is an absolute pleasure to use. The supple keys haven't bothered me in the way my Dell and Microsoft keyboards did after extended use. Even after a night's worth of marathon 300 ticket rounds of Battlefield 2 my hands don't develop any discomfort while on the Eclipse. Although the keyboard is eye catching, the keys are setup in a surprisingly utilitarian way. The standard 104 key-keyboard features buttons for volume adjustment and a button to adjust the amount of light given off. Options for light inlcude low, high and off. The Eclipse also comes with red glowing keys. The keys are soft to the touch and relatively quiet even under rapid fire use. Up until this keyboard, my girlfriend was able to hear my typing from one room over but has not complained once since the purchase of the Eclipse. You see dear, I spent 60-plus bucks on this keyboard for you. A worthwhile mention is the fact I have found one of my pet peeves is absent in the way the spacebar operates. I have always hated when it felt as if I were only depressing the left or right side of the spacebar on most keyboards. That flexibility isn't present here as the entire spacebar depresses not matter where you hit it.
Brad's Thoughts
The keypress on this keyboard is very nice. It is firm but very smooth. The keys are quiet when pressed, avoiding the loud clacking found in some cheaper keyboards. The is a plain, flat board, there are no ergonomical curves or fancy shapes. The blue glow is not very visible with the lights on (which I guess shouldn�t be a surprise), but with the lights off, the glow is quite attractive. If you can avoid any other light source hitting the keys, the blue glow works very well. However, with any other light (such as the glow coming from my 19� monitor) the lettering on the keys does not stand out nearly as well.
Nik's Thoughts
After a few weeks of use I can definitely say this is how keyboards should feel. After all aside from the mouse, this is the input device a user will spend the most time with. It has an almost authoritative feel as if it confirms that you are indeed the one in control unlike some keyboards that make you feel as if you are asking the computer to do something not telling it. After a recent rash of Windows issues caused me to use system restore a number of times I found the Eclipse was quite durable. The frustrating process of finding a solution lead to my pressing of the keys harder and harder each time I was forced to try a new solution so if it can withstand that it can take quite alot of abuse. As far as improvements for the next incarnation of the Eclipse, I'd have to say my only gripe is the lack of any programmable buttons. Even a handful across the top in similar fashion to the light and volume controls would be a welcome addition. Saitek's Gamer's keyboard offers programmable buttons in the form of an external "number key pad". Aside from that, the Eclipse is a top notch purchase that I highly recommend.
Brad's Thoughts
Other than typing this and a few other documents, not much was done to test this keyboard, as like I mentioned a few times above, this is a basic keyboard. You will not gain any special advantages in gaming with this board. Your ability to type 200 words per minute will not magically appear. You will not be able to open special programs with the touch of just one key. However, you WILL have one of the coolest looking keyboards around.
- Slick looks and usage
- Blue Light
- Quiet Keys
- Sturdy Construction
- Volume and light controls
- Weighty
- Easy to clean
- Excellent for use in a dark room
- Needs programmable buttons
- Wrist support does not attach solidly
- Price tag may be a little hefty for only getting the glow, and not other special features

Casper's House
During the first few years of programming in .NET, I sheepishly followed the Design Guidelines for Class Library Developers in regards to implementing IDisposable in my class libraries.
On the face of things, the recommendation is solid. A base class exposing IDisposable looks like this:
// Design pattern for a base class.
public class Base : IDisposable
//Implement IDisposable.
public void Dispose()
protected virtual void Dispose(bool disposing)
if (disposing)
// Free other state (managed objects).
// Free your own state (unmanaged objects).
// Set large fields to null.
// Use C# destructor syntax for finalization code.
// Simply call Dispose(false).
First, a non-virtual method is exposed on the class so derived classes don't have the opportunity to muck up cleanup code.
Next, a protected virtual override of Dispose handles the disposal of unmanaged resources/large objects as well as any other state that needs to be managed (if not called from the finalizer, then any references to other IDisposable implementations have their Dispose methods called as well). This allows for base classes to be able to hook into the cleanup code without burdening it with the details of implementing the finalizer or the method on IDisposable:
// Design pattern for a derived class.
public class Derived : Base
protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)
if (disposing)
// Release managed resources.
// Release unmanaged resources.
// Set large fields to null.
// Call Dispose on your base class.
// The derived class does not have a Finalize method
// or a Dispose method with parameters because it inherits
// them from the base class.
(Both code samples were copied from "Implementing Finalize and Dispose to Clean Up Unmanaged Resources")
Last, the finalizer calls the same protected virtual overload of Dispose, indicating that it should only clean up unmanaged resources and large objects (not references that implement IDisposable).
The effect here is twofold. The first is that calling Dispose has the effect of freeing any state that needs freeing at a determined point in time (usually when you are done with the resource).
The second is that if you forget to call Dispose, the garbage collector will do it for you.
The problem lies with the statement "if you forget to call Dispose."
Pop quiz, how many of the following errors in code would be tolerated in a production environment:
In any of these cases, this would be considered a bug and fixed.
If the finalizer executes (remember, the object is removed from the finalization queue if Dispose is called) then that means that the instance did not have the Dispose method called on it. In this case, you have circumvented the entire reason for implementing IDisposable in the first place, which is to make the developer aware that attention needs to be paid to instances of the implementing type.
Microsoft exacerbates the situation with the current guidelines because it actually obfuscates the issue. With the recommendation, if Dispose is never called then the resource is eventually freed up at some indeterminate point of time in the future.
That recommendation ends up placing this on the same level as the race-condition bug noted in the last bullet point . Your app might run very smoothly for the most part, but at random times, you have exceptions that you can't trace (because the resource in question is corrupted and leads to states in your application that you aren't prepared for most likely).
In the case of not calling Dispose, this will most likely manifest itself in the form of starvation of the resource managed by the IDisposable implementation at random times (sockets, database connections, etc., etc.) and even then, if at all, depending on the usage pattern of your app. You might never see the exception, but then (at a critical moment, of course) your app fails, and you haven't the faintest reason why.
The bad news is that outside of your code, not much. You have to live with the fact that everything in the framework and most other library code written follows this guideline. If you miss cleaning up one of these resources and you run into an intermittent problem involving a resource that isn't cleaned up properly, a great deal of painful debugging awaits you.
To add to that, I haven't seen many static-analysis tools that catch this either.
Quite simply, there isn't a definite way to catch this at compile-time (or to be more specific, without running code).
That is a different story. You can simply throw an exception in the finalizer.
You are surely thinking now "woah, that's a massively bad idea". Well, yes, it is. You are going to hose your app in a major way either during the garbage collection that occurs with the IDisposable implementation which hasn't had Dispose called on it, or on exit of the app.
But that's the point.
Surely you aren't going to deliver your app without running it at least once, right? And if you are in a more formalized software development environment, you are going to run it through all sorts of unit tests, quality assurance tests, and so on.
So even if you can't catch the error at compile time, you can catch it much earlier, and hopefully, before your app ships (assuming you have proper test coverage of your app).
Here is the code sample. For all intents and purposes, the derived class remains the same:
// Design pattern for a derived class.
public class Derived : Base
protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)
if (disposing)
// Release managed resources.
// Release unmanaged resources.
// Set large fields to null.
// Call Dispose on your base class.
// The derived class does not have a Finalize method
// or a Dispose method with parameters because it inherits
// them from the base class.
The changes come in the base class:
// A better design pattern for a base class.
public class Base : IDisposable
// Implement IDisposable.
// This remains the same, this instance should not be finalized if Dispose is called.
public void Dispose()
protected virtual void Dispose(bool disposing)
if (disposing)
// Free other state (managed objects).
// Free your own state (unmanaged objects).
// Set large fields to null.
// The change is here, you want to throw your exception if you do not call Dispose.
// Throw an exception. throw new InvalidOperationException("Dispose method not called.");

With 11 million undocumented immigrants in this country, the need for comprehensive immigration reform is not going away.
In the meantime, however, there are untold casualties who are suffering in ways that few are discussing. Our nation's refusal to make immigration reform a priority has created the perfect storm for a silent problem to fester: immigration scams. Each year, undocumented immigrants are targeted, conned, and exploited by ruthless scam artists who promise the American dream but deliver only despair and financial ruin.
It has become such a persistent and growing problem that the federal government has created a database with over 6 million immigration fraud complaints, and for the first time last year created a joint task force to fight the scourge of "notario fraud" through a collaboration between the Departments of Homeland Security and Justice and the Federal Trade Commission. But enforcement efforts at the state and federal level can reach only the tiniest tip of the iceberg.
The story of Maria Gutierrez Aragon illustrates the ugly reality of what is happening every day. Maria is an indigenous Mexican woman from Oaxaca who has been in the United States for over 20 years, working at a dry cleaner and washing dishes at a restaurant. After years of abuse by her husband, Maria said enough is enough and reported the violence to the authorities.
As a victim of domestic violence, Maria is eligible for immigration relief under the U visa program that is intended to protect victims of crime. Taking advantage of her vulnerable situation, a family friend approached her and offered to help her. This "friend" told her that he would act as her personal representative, and that he would work with an immigration law firm to file a visa application on her behalf.
None of it turned out to be true. There was no immigration case, and the man eventually took $80,000 from her over nearly a decade.
How could it go on so long? To make this deception credible, the alleged scam artist forged numerous letters and documents from various government agencies and law firms threatening her with deportation or arrest if she told anybody about what was happening. Maria worked 14-hour days and borrowed large sums from family members to meet his ever growing demands.
Adding to this scheme of extortion, the "friend" coordinated a lengthy series of intimidating phone calls from third parties - all of which threatened deportation or incarceration if she failed to comply with the demands.
Unlike the vast majority of victims, Maria's story has a happy ending. Working with Public Counsel in Los Angeles, she now has an immigration case pending, and the Los Angeles District Attorney has filed criminal charges for grand theft against the alleged perpetrator. Maria talked about her ordeal to Univision.
Unfortunately, arrests like these are rare. That's what the federal task force on notario fraud is meant to help change. Until that happens, here are some steps you can take to avoid becoming a victim:
- Make sure to consult an attorney, not a notario: If you are undocumented and need legal advice regarding your situation, avoid any notario, immigration consultant, or other so-called "professional" who is not a licensed attorney in your state. Request receipts for payments, request copies of all documents filed on your behalf, and make sure you have a representation agreement in writing. If anything doesn't feel right, get a second opinion.
- There is free or low-cost legal help available for people who think they have been defrauded: The Board of Immigration Appeals has a website with referrals to local immigration attorneys or non-profits that can provide services for low or no cost.
- The American Immigration Lawyers Association provides referrals to attorneys in different areas of immigration law.
- The American Bar Association has another service that provides referrals in this area.
While America debates the need for immigration reform, rampant fraud committed against immigrants is a hidden shame that affects millions of people. Maria's story shows there is something we can do to enforce our nation's promise of fairness -- not as citizens, legal permanent residents and undocumented people, but together.
The best and most direct way to eliminate the breeding ground for these immigration scams is to pass comprehensive immigration reform and put our brothers and sisters on the path to citizenship. It's time for our nation to have the courage of Maria and say enough is enough.

Advantages of electronic gimbals over mechanical systems
Advantages of electronic gimbals over mechanical systems
Mechanical gimbals
Generically speaking, a gimbal is a pivoted support that allows the rotation of a given object about a single axis. Earlier mechanical versions of single-axis gimbals employ only the gravity to keep an object (usually a camera) on the upright position. Essentially the mass of the camera will help the gimbal to keep a platform level at all times. Usually mechanical gimbals for cameras are provided of one or two-axis only.
Electronic gimbals
Three-axis gimbals are used in stabilization systems projected to give the camera operator the independence of handheld shooting without camera shake or vibration. They are also very popular with on-board footage, as their biggest advantage is that electronic systems do not suffer problems such as abrupt changes of speed, gravity or g-force in corners for example. Usually driven by three servos or brushless motors, the electronic gimbals have the ability to keep the camera level on all axes as it moves, with very rapid responses. A set of electronic gyroscopes and accelerometers (also called micromachined inertial measurement unit – IMU) will help a powerful micro-controller to responds to movement and utilizes its three motors to stabilize the camera.
With the guidance of algorithms and powerful processors, the stabilizer is able to notice the difference between deliberate movement such as pans and tracking shots from unwanted shake or tilt. This allows the camera to seem as if it is floating through the air, an effect achieved by the mechanical Steadicam used in Hollywood movies. Not limited to handheld shooting, gimbals can be mounted to cars and other vehicles such as drones, where vibrations or other unexpected movements would make tripods or other camera mounts unacceptable. One very known of automatic self-leveling gimbal is the Wenpod X1. Our very own example is our GoPro gimbal for bikes, the SteadyRide (unfortunately cancelled).
But what are the advantages (and disadvantages) of each system?
The main advantage of a electronic gimbals is that you can use your stabilizer on-board moving objects. For example a mechanical gimbal would suffer from inertia and then from the g-force if used on-board a fast racing car. An electronic gimbal would have no problem leveling a camera on these conditions, including turns, vibrations and real quick change of directions. The main disadvantage of electronic systems is the power limitation, as these gimbals are usually powered by batteries that need to be recharged – or have to be wired. As another advantage of mechanical systems over electronic gimbals is the price, as usually mechanical stabilizers for action cameras tend to me much much cheaper than the electronic ones.
I so want one!!!!! Let me know once the steadyride is released pls I am looking forward to have mine!
Decent article!

"O thou Almighty Father, who dost make
The heavens thy dwelling, not in bounds confin'd,
But that with love intenser there thou view'st
Thy primal effluence, hallow'd be thy name:
Join each created being to extol
Thy might, for worthy humblest thanks and praise
Is thy blest Spirit. May thy kingdom's peace
Come unto us; for we, unless it come,
With all our striving thither tend in vain.
As of their will the angels unto thee
Tender meet sacrifice, circling thy throne
With loud hosannas, so of theirs be done
By saintly men on earth. Grant us this day
Our daily manna, without which he roams
Through this rough desert retrograde, who most
Toils to advance his steps. As we to each
Pardon the evil done us, pardon thou
Benign, and of our merit take no count.
'Gainst the old adversary prove thou not
Our virtue easily subdu'd; but free
From his incitements and defeat his wiles.
This last petition, dearest Lord! is made
Not for ourselves, since that were needless now,
But for their sakes who after us remain."
Thus for themselves and us good speed imploring,
Those spirits went beneath a weight like that
We sometimes feel in dreams, all, sore beset,
But with unequal anguish, wearied all,
Round the first circuit, purging as they go,
The world's gross darkness off: In our behalf
If there vows still be offer'd, what can here
For them be vow'd and done by such, whose wills
Have root of goodness in them? Well beseems
That we should help them wash away the stains
They carried hence, that so made pure and light,
They may spring upward to the starry spheres.
"Ah! so may mercy-temper'd justice rid
Your burdens speedily, that ye have power
To stretch your wing, which e'en to your desire
Shall lift you, as ye show us on which hand
Toward the ladder leads the shortest way.
And if there be more passages than one,
Instruct us of that easiest to ascend;
For this man who comes with me, and bears yet
The charge of fleshly raiment Adam left him,
Despite his better will but slowly mounts."
From whom the answer came unto these words,
Which my guide spake, appear'd not; but 'twas said:
"Along the bank to rightward come with us,
And ye shall find a pass that mocks not toil
Of living man to climb: and were it not
That I am hinder'd by the rock, wherewith
This arrogant neck is tam'd, whence needs I stoop
My visage to the ground, him, who yet lives,
Whose name thou speak'st not him I fain would view.
To mark if e'er I knew himnd to crave
His pity for the fardel that I bear.
I was of Latiun, of a Tuscan horn
A mighty one: Aldobranlesco's name
My sire's, I know not if ye e'er have heard.
My old blood and forefathers' gallant deeds
Made me so haughty, that I clean forgot
The common mother, and to such excess,

Saxophonist Leighton Kennedy debuts as a solo artist, but he is no stranger to the recording industry as an independant artist. He was part of the freshman album of the Massachusetts- based gospel sextet, We R Perswaded. Since launching his solo career, he has opened for Jaci Velasquez and J.J. Hairston and Youthful Praise.
"Words of Life" is the newest release from Jasmine Brann, a singer/songwriter with a pitch-perfect soprano voice and intimate lyrics.
This album is the second collaboration for Reginald and Jasmine, having worked together on her first release, "On a Personal Note."
Hear Reginald's contribution to this magnificant project on the tracks "Be Exalted" and "Glory and Power."
"My Heart" is led by the smooth, yet edgy, melodic saxophone of Leighton and surrounded by the clean, complementary instrumentation of co-producer Reginald Reid.
This ten-track album is surrounded with studio musicians, which brought the music to life. Urban Junction East's track production on "Wholly Thine" with guitarist Mike "Nomad" Ripoll and bassist Jackie Clark, all the way to the cutting guitar solo of Dana Reed on "No Greater Love", the complementary guitar strokes of Fabiano DaSilva on Marching to Zion, and the rhythms of Matthew Jackson on multiple tracks have brought the music to life for your hearing and blessing.

Open Thread: Talk About What Matters Most to You
Discuss and debate the issues that mean the most to you.
Baking in support of the Bpas clinic in Brighton
Here in the UK we are a glut of Negative Nellies, which is really just a cover-up because we have a lot to be proud of. We have an (allegedly) skydiving Queen who does a bit of acting (though, if you must know, I was far more impressed with Camilla's cameo on The Archers, only unfortunately nobody knows what the bloody hell I'm talking about). We have the right to free education, the right to free assembly, the right to buy Heat magazine and not be judged, the right to free health care with the wonderful NHS and the right to choose.
Yes that introduction concerning the Queen is going to seamlessly lead into a discussion concerning abortion and the pro-choice stance in the UK. Which the Queen is the Queen of so we're all back on the same page.
Recently Rebecca discussed abortion rights in the UK, regarding the 40 Days for Prayer anti-choice vigils outside clinics across the country. Rebecca questioned the idea of there being a right and wrong way of being pro-choice. The flip-side of this suggests that then there must be a right and a wrong way of being anti-choice.
Let me be clear, I respect people's right to be anti-choice. So long as they do it in the privacy of their own homes or even in the quiet of the voting booth. As opposed to displaying triggering images outside clinics and harassing vulnerable women. Over Lent this year 40 Days of Prayer chose to stand outside clinics and audibly pray for those entering and leaving the clinic. They also offered misleading (and misguided) literature and generally refused to keep their rosaries off our ovaries.
Baking a cake for 40 Days of Treats
The Brighton Feminist Collective, of which I am a member, decided to bring a project that had been started by an anonymous pro-choicer, 40 Days of Treats to Brighton as a form of equally peaceful counter-protest. Every day over Lent members of the BFC delivered flowers, cakes and cards to the staff at the Bpas clinic to show support.
What was intended to be a quiet display of solidarity caught the attention of both sides of the debate, The Guardian newspaper talked to us about the project and I stressed how important it was that Britain does not get complacent about the current state of our reproductive rights. Anti-choice blogger Catherine Farrow, however, described The Brighton Feminist Collective as "misogynist" and "patronising", seemingly thinking we crept up on women at the clinic post-abortion, addressed her as dearie and offered her cake, 'it's home-made!'
Let's say we did do such a thing (which, I stress, we don't) which is more patronising and misogynist? Offering sweets to someone in recovery or standing outside a clinic that gives women the choice to take charge of their bodies with a sign proclaiming 'Women Deserve Better'?
The 40 Days passed and a new group chose to continue to fight what they consider to be the good fight, called Abort67. As the name suggests, Abort67 want the 1967 Abortion Act to be totally abolished. The tactics used by the group include displaying large images of late stage aborted foetuses. Once, having delivered my treat two lone male anti-choicers accused me of murder as I left the clinic.
A clinic that also provides pregnancy testing, counselling, STI screening, contraception, sterilisation, vasectomy and vasectomy reversal. So desperate in their plight to get women what they deserve these two men, old enough to be my grandfathers, taunted me with a plastic model of a foetus and asked me if I was proud. And I am, so I took a photo and reported them to the police.
Abort67 member with a plastic foetus
Writing in the Huffington Post, Andrew Stephenson, founder and director of Abort67 wrote that it was precisely because people were not aware of what an aborted foetus looked like that "...abortion has been allowed to flourish". Staff at the Brighton Bpas clinic have said that it seems women are now waiting later to have an abortion because they are too frightened to pass the anti-choice protests.
This is one of the reasons the BFC have decided to extend our 40 days of Treats project; this is called That Time of the Month. Our members will continue to take treats to the clinic at least once a month. As BFC member LittleSpy puts it, "[That Time of the Month] is to counter the wilful misunderstanding and unfeeling actions of the anti-choice campaigners".
BFC member Frau_BH explains: "The reason I take part is because I think the staff at the clinics get a really raw deal. They ...are so supportive of the women who go to see them (regardless of why they are there) ...By showing that we really appreciate their work and that we care about their welfare, we aim to neutralise the effect of the people who are so determined to make them feel as though what they are doing is wrong, when in fact for so many women, they really are a complete life-line. They truly are the physical manifestation of the phrase 'my body, my choice.'"
We would like to invite you to be a part of the That Time of the Month project, you can send treats to your local Bpas clinic and submit a photo to our Tumblr or volunteer to escort women, couples and families to the clinic. Because women deserve better, women deserve choice.

As the power of the Internet continues to transform lives, could consumer wearable technology revolutionise the healthcare industry?
The major political parties in the UK election campaign are all keen to stress how much they want to maintain spending on the National Health Service (NHS). But over the long term, it's a promise that's going to be increasingly difficult to keep.
Fifty years ago, according to an analysis put together in 2013 by The King's Fund, paying for the NHS took 3.4 per cent of gross domestic product (GDP). Today, it is close to 8 per cent and figures from the Office for Budget Responsibility suggest it could easily double again to more than 16 per cent in another 50 years. In the US, the situation is even worse. The country spent 16 per cent of its considerable GDP on healthcare in 2006. By 2040, it could soar to 29 per cent, according to the US National Bureau of Economic Research.
"That's unsustainable," says Chris van Hoof, programme director for wearable healthcare at Belgian research institute IMEC. "Solutions are needed to curb that increase."
A significant part of the rise will come from lifestyle-related diseases such as diabetes, heart conditions and cancers that are more likely to afflict the obese. The UK could see a million more cases of diabetes by 2030 because of the population's growing weight. As a result, healthcare experts are looking to the lifestyle rather than the treatment to arrest the problem.
The bold claim for wearable technology is that it could lead to 'a revolution in self-care' by improving the monitoring of patients with a host of long-term conditions as well as encouraging people to live more healthily. Patients with conditions such as diabetes, liver disease and asthma could benefit from wearing devices that can detect deterioration and alert the patient or anyone else they choose via a smart device. Wearable technology can also benefit clinicians from a training and development perspective, while improved geo-position technology will increase the safety of lone workers.
Medical devices enable patients to monitor themselves remotely, for conditions such as asthma, diabetes and high blood pressure, and yet still be able to communicate directly with medical professionals; other wearables are aimed at monitoring wellness and fitness levels. Gadgets such as the Apple Watch - plus Garmin's Forerunner 15, Samsung's Gear 2 and the FitBit Flex - tout long-term fitness monitoring as key features.
"With the public fitness habit intensifying and the technology growing more intelligent, we are likely to see wearables playing a pivotal role in medical diagnostics, information sharing and general health in the not-too-distant future," says NHS England's medical director Professor Sir Bruce Keogh. "These devices will put patients in the driving seat of their own care and allow us in the NHS to predict things, act early and keep people safe and healthy in their homes for as long as possible."
Van Hoof claims: "half of what determines our health is due to our behaviour. Eighty per cent of heart disease, stroke and type-2 diabetes could be prevented if the behaviour factors could be eliminated."
What's the difference?
The change in healthcare needed is not just about wearables. In general, e-health, the use of telecommunications and IT to provide and improve clinical healthcare, aims to link patients and treatments over the Internet to save time, cost and resources and potentially save lives. The idea around e-health comes in varied forms: it could mean digital healthcare, such as electronic health records, assisted healthcare, telecare, telemedicine and the latest being wearable technologies.
Research by IDC Insights indicates that by 2018, 70 per cent of healthcare organisations worldwide will invest in consumer-facing technology, including apps, wearables, remote monitoring and virtual care. Analysts PriceWaterHouseCoopers also say 80 per cent of consumers believe wearable technology has the potential to make healthcare more convenient, while Soreon Research predicts the wearable healthcare market will grow from $2bn in 2014 to $41bn in 2020. It appears the predictions and statistics are in line with NHS's medical director Keogh's view, but will this just be all hype?
"The answer here is clearly we do not know yet," says Tony Cornford, associate professor in information systems at the London School of Economics. "Wearable technologies so far have a very small place in healthcare, not surprisingly, as they are quite new and all the support infrastructures to use them are not in place.
"There is potential of course, and industry backing could lead to surprising levels of take-up. But I believe that, as with m-health in general, the impact on actual healthcare outcomes will be slow to emerge. Benefits will probably be modest and occur mostly when wearables are incorporated into wider healthcare initiatives."
He adds: "It's not really a revolution but slow incremental changes. But if there is a revolution it will be led by a mix of some technologies, some patient engagement and empowerment, and quite a lot of more traditional health improvement activity."
Changing attitudes
With any advance in technology, there is a chance that acceptance and adoption will take time. Though governments and companies are racing to promote new technologies and applications and though these have shown signs of successfully breaking through, reality shows there is a major battle with e-health ignorance. The Delivering Assisted Living Lifestyle at Scale programme, funded by the government, surveyed 2000 people of whom 90 per cent did not know what telehealth and telecare technologies were and 70 per cent were not aware of health and care apps available on their smartphones and tablets.
While the benefits are clear, the reality shows the NHS is not quite up to speed yet. According to the results of Freedom of Information requests made by software firm Ipswitch, 83 per cent of NHS trusts are unprepared for the impact of wearable technology and furthermore, only 38 per cent of trusts were able to differentiate between wired and wireless devices on their networks.
Compared with other industries, where technology has transformed the market and the way consumers interact with their service providers, the experience of transforming the healthcare industry has hardly changed at all, reckons Inhealthcare.
"E-health has really taken off with the public - wearable devices, health apps and access to clinical information has become huge business. However, the challenge is that the public's use of e-health is massively outpacing the rate at which the UK health system is realising technology," says Simon Jones, commercial director at Inhealthcare.
What is more, the technology does not need to be incredibly advanced, as a mobile phone or landline could be used to monitor the care of a patient. Not only can these platforms help the healthcare system reach a vast proportion of the population remotely, but they can also free up resources, both financial and time of the healthcare professionals.
"Members of society now run their lives via digital means, and the increasing use of wearables and apps shows that the appetite for digital-enabled lifestyles includes health and wellbeing. The challenge this pace mismatch creates is that lots of data sets are being created but the connection between the data and clinical decision-making is weak, and therefore the benefits of e-health have not been maximised," says Jones.
LSE's Professor Cornford comments: "there is hype today around wearable devices, but the core issues, I believe, remain in the established institutions of healthcare and revolve around digital patient records, sharing of information and better resources.Giving patients the ability to hold a more appropriate role in their own care is also a very important development to consider. But there is no one magic bullet solution. There are lots of areas that we can, and should, improve upon."
PA Consulting Group is doing just this as it is helping roll out telecare services across Hampshire County Council to find innovative ways to manage the demands of an ageing population. The Argenti Telehealthcare partnership comprises Tunstall Healthcare, O2, CareCalls, Medvivo and Magna Careline to deliver mainstream telecare services. The outcome of this partnership could expect financial benefits of £3.4 million over a three-year span.
Breaking the barriers
"The main impediments to wider adoption are not cost, ease of use or privacy, but the attitudes of care practitioners and a hesitancy to incorporate technology," says Steve Carefull, healthcare expert at PA Consulting Group. "We often encounter care professionals who are reluctant to use technology unless there is unequivocal evidence of benefits. However the evidence can't be generated unless the technology is integrated fully into redesigned pathway. There is a 'chicken and egg' situation here that requires courageous commissioners to adopt a more ambitious approach."
There are some benefits to caution, says David Rees, public sector specialist at PA: "Firstly, there is an importance to avoid being seduced by the latest technology. There is constant work to improve the quality of imaging, reduce weight and extend battery life, as can be seen in the latest Apple Watch launch and Google's decision to pause and refocus its Glass for the next iteration.
"It is also just as important to recognise that the device itself is just one part of the solution and on its own will not bring benefits," adds Rees. "To fully exploit its advantages the NHS needs to include not only the device, but also additional items such as location software, specific applications and the use of cloud solutions, but crucially integration into the end-to-end patient experience."
Despite the slow uptake to transform the traditional healthcare system, reality shows the hype around wearables and health are actually happening and only shows signs to improve.
PA Consulting's health expert Carefull adds: "The future for e-health and wellness looks positive. Technology is now becoming smarter, smaller and cheaper. Furthermore, there is a growing level of comfort with technology, as we are now used to the idea of always being connected."

I am very interested in all 3 size heads being proposed. I currently run a DII VC with masker. I am waiting for a 5x7 Elwood. I am picking up a 8x10 Elwood this weekend. Those 3 are operational with OE heads. My big problem is a 10X10 Fotar chassis I have that needs a head. I am very close to constructing a head, but would prefer purchasing an affordable LED head.
I have followed you, cardiomac and konakoa's experiments and eagerly await larger models. I may need multiple LED heads.
A straight forward rectangular box for 5x7 that I can put on my Durst 138 with straight white light and no VC or complicated wiring is what I need. I intend to use below the lens filters. I'll take care if the lift myself as I have a special glass negative carrier. I doubt that anyone has this aftermarket carrier. I bought it from Durst USA $$$. If I can't get a light source by the end of the year I'll finish my three light unit with dichroic filters head.
Blue-green light works fine if it's intense enough. That's what the Aristo V54 did. No need
for two different grids. You simply selectively use a green or blue tricolor filter below the
lens, and the appropriate wavelength passes, the other doesn't. A simple turret makes life easier (like Durst used), but quite simple in any event. Just basic split printing for VC paper. Graded paper only sees blue anyway. But if you want to get fancy, a feedback
system is nice, with a lot more potential complications if something goes wrong. All it takes
is a frazzled fluorescent ballast somewhere in the vicinity to fry solid state controls.
Instead of blue / green wouldn't a white LED be brighter? Does Cree make a full spectrum white LED and in what temperature? I'm sure the new Cree LED's are going to be bright enough. Under mounted filters are a fine way to go. I have a Durst and it has the provision for turret filters. I can turn a filter in place as quickly as I can turn a knob.
Is the order, LED, driver, power supply? Do the LED's need their own individual driver or can several be on a driver.
www.ledsupply.com or www.reefledlights.com for more information.
Blue and green are the wavelengths that VC papers respond to and you don't need any other colors to make the head work. Adding white light hurts rather than helps because it adds exposure that can't be controlled as a proportion of the total light from the head. In other words, you only want light that is the light that controls paper contrast. An ideal situation is when you have plenty of blue and green light that can be used to give the contrast you want and the exposure times you want. For me, variable contrast and constant exposure is the best feature to have for printing VC paper and its pretty straightforward (conceptually) to make it happen using only blue and green in proper mixtures.
The plus to having some white light is to make focusing by human eyesight easier. You can add a focusing aid by putting a red led in the mix if you want. Red, green, blue = white. But, I find I can focus with just the green and blue in my led head. If needed, I turn the safelight off when focusing and then the image is easy to see (in absence of any other light in the room).
I am by no means a B&W VC printing expert, but I do want a cheap head for my 10X10 Fotar. I just purchased a 700 LED video light. It is 20X36 bulbs laid out in a 6x12 inch grid. Those measurements were not available from the seller. I would have preferred 8X10, duh! It has 1/2 3200K and 1/2 5600K bulbs on two dimmers. I plan to mount this in a 12X12X12 box with a DIY glass and plywood negative holder. I will then experiment with the naked setup, diffusion plastic, GG and above the negative Ilford MG filters. The box will first be matte white and then matte black depending upon testing...
Has anyone tried this? Any suggestions?
Here is the eBay page.
You may want to try two diffuser panels to prevent hot spots - this may keep the overall height of the box thinner and the light output at the negative brighter. I did this with an LED head that I made. Good luck with the project
It would be very nice if you could, when time permits, consider making an adaptor plate so your heads could fit on a Durst L1200.
