My name is Chuck and I am pleased you came to my website. I own Koolcoat and love to show people how to save energy money by using Koolcoat Radiant Barrier Paint Additive.
Many years ago, 1995 or so, I kept hearing on the home improvement radio shows how radiant barriers could help save energy and make your home, office, shop or shed more comfortable. I began researching radiant barrier products then on the market. Most were already mixed into a paint and almost no one discussed what the radiant barrier product really was. After a couple of years of searching I finally found the superior product and decided if I sold only the radiant barrier part and not the paint, shipping would be cheaper and my customers could chose the paint THEY wanted to use.
At that point the decision was made to have a website built and begin selling Koolcoat. Finding a reputable web developer was a bigger challenge than I expected. It took much longer and was more expensive than I could have imagined.
I have been selling KoolCoat since 1999 to people all over the world
But in 1999, Koolcoat finally became a real web-based company. During the first 18 months or so, all my sales were to people here in America and the first overseas sale was almost unbelievable. That sale was to someone in Greece. Since then I have sold Koolcoat to almost every country in the world.
Started, as kind of a "hobby" to help people save energy dollars, Koolcoat has a mission: anything I can do to help people find comfort in their dwellings and save energy money at the lowest price on the net is what we are all about.
The help doesn't stop after you order KoolCoat
And the help doesn't end with just shipping out Koolcoat from orders, I will help with paint choices for different applications and construction or re-construction of structures. I have experience as a "think-outside-of-the-box" builder and developer. I don't have any misconceptions brought about from "political correctness"; I tell it like it really is.
Energy bills will continue to rise in this country as well as all over the world. At the rate things are going, energy costs may rise beyond what most people can afford.That occurrence will drive most people to find some comfort from the elements. Koolcoat can do that. Koolcoat will provide comfort during the summers and the winters, even if we don't have or can not afford cooling and heating.
Thanks for stopping by and looking around. If you are ready to start saving money on your energy, cooling and heating consider KoolCoat and click on the big order button above to see the current pricing.

Chrissy Teigen: Model Behavior
VV: On Twitter, you would never guess that you had self-esteem issues. I feel like you just say whatever the heck you want.
In the beginning, I didn't understand why I could say things and get crap for them. I knew there were people watching, but there is a way to say things and make it funny, not a malicious attack. I've kind of learned and grown in that way but I'm still insecure and I still read terrible things. You kind of become desensitized to it.
Let's talk about your Top Chef skills. Why did you start a foodie blog?
I always wanted to go to culinary school but it was never in the cards for me. Modeling is such a short window of time, and I've been lucky enough that the blog took off. Some people from the Food Network were leaving comments on it and that's when I knew it could really be something.
What's your earliest cooking memory?
I remember actually having food competition shows with my friend Bonnie, and I would look in the refrigerator and be like, "Okay you have one minute to use anything in this refrigerator to create a wonderful dish." And this is before Top Chef, but I remember more than anything my mom's scallop potatoes and helping her roast potatoes, the ham and the bacon. I can smell it every time.

REST-art is an open-source (GPL) library helping develop RESTful Web Services. It is designed to be simple and tiny. It may replace huge SOAP frameworks in your developments. REST-art uses URIs, XML and REST / HTTP verbs (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE).
While SOAP is a widely used and deployed implementation of Web Services, the REST style is a better and simple approach to develop Web Services (see http://www.ics.uci.edu/~fielding/pubs/dissertation/rest_arch_style.htm ). REST web services take full advantage of the http protocol without creating over-needed particularities like in SOAP (additional information in http header and in data header, many different URIs for the request and for the web services, confusion in error codes, etc.).
REST-art is a Java library (jar) based on the REST principles (services use URIs, XML data, http verbs GET, POST, PUT, DELETE). It gives the ability to develop Web Services without using huge (and sometime commercial) SOAP frameworks. It comes with a small embedded (fully re-written) http server and needed java classes to create and publish REST web services on the server (server-side development), or to call the services (client-side development).
REST-art comes for "REST" (Representational State Transfer), "state of the art [of Web Services]" and "restart" your development and knowledge of Web Services.
1998 : Well, when they decided to create XML, I was already using self-described tree-organized data like XML. The structure I used was created by Jean-Michel Dussoux and myself, it was called "FDEC"...
1999 : After that I decided to use XML but, for performance reasons, I was transfering the data with CORBA (I was on a LAN). XML over IIOP, is'nt it a first release of Web Service ? ;-)
: I needed to use the
XML over HTTP
proposition to build Web Services but I did not have any tools to do it lightly (Tomcat was there but already huge :). So I created my own SOAP implementation, called "Shamps". Shamps was designed to be an open-source library, available in Java and C++... It's been used by colleagues (see
Vera Bradley Iconic Weekender Travel Bag Coral Floral Weekender/Overnight Luggage P0i7fN
2001 : Something else to do (creating software based on agent platform), and I did not work on Shamps anymore... and did not open the source code (sorry). Maybe I'll do it one day, just for it's C++ version used by Yves.
2006 : after 5 years of frustration, I decided to re-create a new Shamps-like library. But my knowledge and experience of SOAP is leading me to another track : SOAP is too complicated, and needs code generators. I like code generators, but I like transparency too. So I decided to start form nothing (not even from Shamps) to create a set of REST-like tools to develop REST-ful applications.

Salespeople should beware of using trendy lingo.
A couple of years ago, I am sitting in on a series of group presentations for web content management systems. I don't want to mention any names here, but we're talking the initial bids were coming in around $1 Million. During their presentations, two different representatives, each from a different company said the phrase "and we eat our own dog food". Now I realize that a few years ago this was a big deal and a lot of tech companies talked about dogfooding. For those of you who don't remember, there was a big ruckus about tech companies not using the products that their own company makes. And so some of the people started saying "we eat our own dog food" as a cute little euphymism for "we use our own products in-house".
And in trade journals or talk between geeks, that's probably fine. But when you're making a presentation to sell $1,000,000 worth of software and services...bad choice of words. The first thing that popped into my head when they said this was, "Why would you compare your product to dog food?" (especially if you're trying to get me to spend 7 figures). If these salesmen were smart, they would have said something like, "While other companies talk about eating their own dog food, we prefer to dine on our own Prime Rib." (or Top Sirloin, or you pick the high quality food item of choice). This simple little twist of a phrase would do three things for them:

The United States is facing a dramatic demographic challenge: Young Latinos are the fastest-growing segment of the population, and they are among the least likely to graduate from college. Experts say the future of the American economy is at stake, because higher education is essential in the 21st century economy. This documentary tells the story of Latino students working towards a college degree-and why it's so hard for them to get what they want.

Apple has reportedly made another high-profile cybersecurity hire, and his advanced degree says it all: Master of Science in Information Warfare and Systems Engineering from the Naval Postgraduate School.
The company has hired David Rice as its new director of global security, according to several online reports, and he is expected to start in March. Rice has held security posts with the U.S. Navy and National Security Agency, and he's currently executive director of The Monterey Group, a consultancy on a range of cybersecurity issues, such as data protection, risk management, security performance metrics and secure software development.
SECURITY THREATS: Top 10 Web hacking techniques of 2010
The Internet speculation is that Rice is being hired in order to beef up Apple's iOS device security, which initially was lacking for enterprise deployments. But that seems unlikely, at least by itself, given the steady security advances made by Apple with iOS, most recently in iOS 4.0.
Instead, Apple seems to be restructuring the way it approaches software development, creating a culture that's focused from the outset on designing secure software.
For example, Rice is the latest in a string of high-profile security hires for Apple, as noted by CNet.com. In 2009, Apple lured Ivan Krstic from his former post as head of security for the One Laptop Per Child project, to work on securing Mac OS X. In 20010, Apple snagged Window Snyder, formerly Mozilla's security chief, as senior product manager for security, and Jon Callas, former CTO of encryption software maker PGP (now part of Symantec).
Secure software is a topic for which Rice is best known to a larger public: his 2007 book, "Geekonomics: The Real Cost of Insecure Software," and his Geekonomics blog sound the theme that "The toxic effluence of software vulnerabilities leave networks saturated with spam, computers clogged with malware, and servers defoliated of sensitive private data." He argues for a more systemic approach, and a new developer mindset, to creating "resilient" software.
A year ago, Rice teamed with two co-authors to issue "The Rugged Manifesto," calling on software developers to learn and practice secure programming techniques to reduce the number of exploits directed at applications.
His co-authors are Josh Corman, an analyst with The 451 Group, and Jeff Williams, the chairman of OWASP, an organization focused on Web application security. The trio hopes to motivate developers to aspire to rugged ideals for software development and to learn how their code can be more secure. The original manifesto and other resources can be found at the group's Web site.
Rice graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1994 and received a master's degree in Information Warfare and Systems Engineering from the Naval Postgraduate School. He previously worked as a Global Network Vulnerability analyst for the National Security Agency and as a Special Duty Cryptologic officer for the Navy.

By Vikram Ramesh, Senior Director of Product and Digital Marketing –
Last year, Gartner detailed the concept of "bimodal IT," which, quite simply, divides IT into two arenas: one is the traditional support and security role, and one calls for extensive innovation and constant improvement of business processes. Even as the first mode concerned with stability and consistency will always exist in some capacity, the second mode is quickly becoming the default operating procedure in an IT landscape driven by proactive development and speed. With the ongoing push toward rapidly evolving and dynamic infrastructures, the need for answers to the most complex IT performance issues is only becoming more evident.
The second mode of IT has called for both new skill sets from IT professionals and new technologies to manage the transition. Aside from the applications developed to make workloads faster and businesses more efficient, the way IT teams manage their infrastructures to support these tasks has to evolve as well. Modern infrastructure performance management (IPM) has to be about addressing issues as they arise to keep operations moving forward. Actionable insights that lead to direct solutions makes troubleshooting a leaner, more agile process, which is precisely what the rest of IT is hoping to achieve.
Adjustments to IT in the name of this agility has to include these updates to problem solving. As IT integrates new solutions and operations, there needs to be an understanding of how to fix issues in real time to avoid unnecessary overprovisioning or some of the other traditional answers to performance problems. Treating the diagnosis of IT issues as something separate from the rest of the department wastes time and money. Agility is what every organization strives for, and it's just as crucial for performance management (if not more so) as it is for every other IT facet.
Part of Gartner's thoughts on bimodal IT deal with the possible issues IT is facing as it speeds toward an agility-focused department. Applying the same mentality to IT performance in 2015 as businesses did 10 years ago is at the heart of so many problems. Nearly every other aspect of IT has shifted in the face of new technologies. Trying to guarantee availability and optimize activities without proactive procedures that are as agile as the rest of IT makes it difficult to see the real benefits of the new paradigm brought about by bimodal IT.
Upgrading your IT demands an adjustment to your IT monitoring. Learn how IPM with Virtual Instruments can solve your problems in real time.

In July, in Murrieta, California, right-wing demonstrators confronted busloads of people, many of them women and small children who had crossed the border fleeing horrific violence. "Nobody wants you! You're not welcome! Go home!" they shouted. According to the Los Angeles Times, the migrants were on their way to a supervised release program overseen by a religious volunteer group. Instead, blocked by the protesters, they had to return to a border patrol station in San Diego.
The gratuitous cruelty of the American right, of course, isn't much of a surprise. More shocking is the response of the Obama administration, which is scarcely more hospitable. As the United Nations and others have said, the situation on the border, where 52,000 unaccompanied children have arrived from Mexico and Central America since October, is more a refugee crisis than an immigration one. But rather than acknowledge this, the White House has suggested that it wants to strip some of these children of rights they have under the William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act, a 2008 law signed by George W. Bush. According to The New York Times, Obama is considering seeking "flexibility" in the law's requirements, which gives lone child migrants from countries other than Mexico and Canada the right to an immigration hearing and, in the interim, release into the "least restrictive setting that is in the best interest of the child."
Even with the law in place, we're seeing flagrant abuses of border kids' rights. At some stations, children in diapers have been held in jail cells. "It was horrible," says Democratic Representative Zoe Lofgren of California, who recently visited a facility in Brownsville, Texas. "There were hundreds of kids, little kids. I saw a 3-year-old—at least they said he was 3. I don't think the kid was that old." He was being cared for by a rotating group of preteen girl detainees, Lofgren says. "There are 8- and 9-year-old kids sleeping on cement floors with aluminum foil blankets."
After she and some of her colleagues complained to the Department of Health and Human Services, Secretary Sylvia Matthews Burwell promised to have all children under 5 removed from jail. That is good news, though it is not the sort of thing that should require congressional action.
Meanwhile, the administration must acknowledge that many of the children—who largely hail from gang-ridden Honduras, the country with the world's highest murder rate, and neighboring El Salvador and Guatemala—have valid claims to asylum. "The UN said that in their judgment, we should call this a refugee matter, and I think they're right," says Lofgren. Indeed, she argues, calling the underlying problem gang warfare minimizes it: "These are armed warlords competing for governance of the countries."

There is inadequate evidence that flaxseed oil works as a weight loss aid as of 2015, according to Mayo Clinic. However, some studies indicate that flaxseed oil increases fullness while reducing hunger.
Flaxseed oil, or linseed oil, is a source rich with acid alpha-linolenic, or ALA, notes Mayo Clinic. ALA is an essential fatty that changes to omega-3 fatty acids when absorbed by the body. Flaxseed oil contains properties that possibly link to lower cholesterol, as well.
A 2015 study suggests that although flaxseed oil in very high amounts reduces triglyceridemia, it is not as effective as fish oils and vegetable oils, reports the National Center for Biotechnology Information. However, the study also concludes that flaxseed plays a significant role in the strategy of weight loss since it reduces inflammation markers associated with obesity when added to a weight loss diet.

The answer, it seems, is surprisingly simple: we readily recognize exact or approximate repetition at definite frequencies, and essentially nothing else. So if we listen to nested sequences, for example, we have no direct way to tell that they are nested, and indeed all we seem sensitive to are some rather simple features of the spectrum of frequencies that occur.
The pictures below show spectra obtained from nested sequences produced by various simple one-dimensional substitution systems. The diversity of these spectra is quite striking: some have simple nested forms dominated by a few isolated peaks at specific frequencies, while others have quite complex forms that cover large ranges of frequencies.

To learn more about this cutting-edge display technology, keep reading after the jump.
Like any small LED projector, Fraunhofer's device can create a larger viewing pane for your smartphone's contents on any flat surface. What separates it from current devices, however, is the ability to produce a crisp, clear image on any surface shape, from almost any angle, thanks to so-called "array projection" — which is actually modeled after the compound eyes of insects.
Despite measuring only 2 x 2 cm, the projector houses over 300 chip wafers, which each in turn house 200 lenses. During the perfect case of vertically projecting a phone screen onto a level surface, the entire optics array overlays the same image onto the viewing surface, creating a sharp and bright picture. In less than ideal scenarios, each projector can shine slightly different versions of the image to maintain picture clarity and eliminate typical distortions created by projecting from odd perspectives. Best of all, user's can interact with the projected image, just as they would on their smart phone screen, thanks to invisible infrared lines overlaid on the projection. Swipes, pinches, and other common touch interactions are all registered by the phone as fingers break these invisible lines.
While the technology has been designed for mass production in mind, Fraunhofer's engineers say that it's still three to four years away from hitting the market, largely because of the challenge of meeting high pixel density demands. A prototype will be revealed in Frankfurt at the Optatec trade fair starting tomorrow.

The Parents of School-Age Children had been just that for so long they could not remember ever having been anything else. It was 19 years, to be exact, since that September morning when the oldest child, hair in place (almost), new sneakers white (nearly), first walked past the policewoman, up the steps to kinder-garten.
For the onlooking parents, that had qualified as the longest, most significant walk in all of human history. They marveled at their child's bravery - a lot braver than they proved to be.
It was, for a fact, a significant walk - the first leg in a journey that would in due course, the parents knew, omit the return route of back-the-same-day. But that eventuality was so far off.
Each September brought another first-day walk with it, and soon the pioneer entrant into The Big World Out There was joined by siblings. The veteran of the kindergarten sandbox - the expert at recess time when chocolate milk and cookies were served - went on to even greater skills, and so did the others. But the rhythm - outward and back, departure and return - remained so regular that the Parents of School-Age Children could not believe it would ever end.
Every August the ''Back to School'' sales appeared in the form of personal messages. Every August the big policy decisions got made. What kind of a lunch box - ''Batman'' or ''Peanuts''? And was this year's teacher a pen fanatic or would pencil be allowed?
For 19 years the random processes of education rolled on. To this day, framed poster-paper cut-outs decorate a kitchen wall. In particular, there is one black silhouette of a whale with an enormous white eye that everybody thought was an ingenious evocation of a locomotive at night until, years later, the artist confessed.
A yellowing paper badge strung on a necklace of green yarn still hangs from a hook. It reads, ''Official Checker,'' memorializing a trusted role as inspector of other children's work in first grade - now 13 Septembers ago.
Beneath it, paper clips rest in the hollowed shell of a clay turtle - the project of a ceramics class maybe nine years ago.
A door frame in the kitchen still records their annually measured heights as each September the ''children'' became something more, and the first walk extended further and further until finally it graduated into a trip to college.
Then September partings became almost as much of a wrench as that first day of kindergarten. And there were more decisions - not a question of which lunch box to buy, but would the stereo set fit in the trunk. And if so, where did the winter gear and the desk lamp go? And don't forget the alarm clock. Never forget the alarm clock.
Sometimes it seemed there was no end of colleges.
Sometimes it seemed there was no end of ''children.''
But now, for the first time in 20 years, September is going to be for somebody else. The Parents of School-Age Children must think of another identity for themselves. The manufacturers of crayon boxes no longer speak to them. Those seasonal walks finally took right off from the roads that lead to brick buildings with playgrounds out back - to college quadrangles.
What has been learned all these years at the far end of all these walks? Only the ex-children know, and they don't tell. Education seemed a simpler matter to the Parents of School-Age Children before the whole business started - a straight line begun in September and completed in June, followed by another straight line the next September. Straight as that first walk into kindergarten.
Now, in retrospect, the 19-year course looks far more meandering. How much did the ''children'' learn from this teacher and that? Who would have guessed how much they would learn from themselves?
Still, two decades later the general faith in education remains. Surely all those September roads must lead somewhere, else why is there this unnatural silence and strange calm as the walking time approaches for a family that has run out of walkers?
Well, maybe not quite. There is talk of graduate school. Wait until next year , the retired Parents of School-Age Children keep telling themselves as they watch the Official Checker badge swing gently in the late-summer breeze blowing through the window that looks out over the road leading to kindergarten.

the reason is weak pull up resistors on the SCL & SDA lines. Now, one I2C sensor is not accessible and has 1K pull ups on the board that I cannot get at to change.
I guess I'm expecting the pull up value needs to be closer to 4K7 rather than 1K
It would not make much of a difference having 1K as opposed to 4K7.

Plachimada, Kerala
Whizzing along the road in the little Tata Indica, driven prestissimo by the imperturbable Sudhi, we crossed the state line from Tamil Nadu into Kerala, branched off the main road and ended up in the settlement of Plachimada, mostly inhabited by extremely poor people. There on one side of the street was the Coca-Cola plant, among the company's largest in Asia, and on the other a shack filled with locals eager to impart the news that they were now, as of April 2, in Day 1,076 of their struggle against the plant.
Coca-Cola came to India in 1993, looking for water and markets in a country where 170 million people have no access to drinking water, with shortages growing daily. The bloom was on neoliberalism back then, with central and state authorities falling over themselves to lease, sell or simply hand over India's assets to multinationals in the name of economic "reform."
Coca-Cola had sound reasons for coming to Plachimada, which has large underground water deposits. The site Coca-Cola picked is between two large reservoirs and ten yards south of an irrigation canal. Coke's plot is surrounded by colonies inhabited by several hundred poor people with an average holding of four-tenths of an acre. Virtually the sole source of employment is wage labor, usually for no more than 100 to 120 days in the year.
Ushered in by Kerala's present "reform"-minded government, the plant duly got a license from the local council, known as the Perumatty Grama Panchayat. Under India's constitution panchayats have total discretion in such matters. Coca-Cola bought a property of some forty acres held by a couple of large landowners, built a plant, sank six bore wells and commenced operations in March 2000.
Within six months the villagers saw the level of their water drop sharply, and the water they did draw was awful. It gave some people diarrhea and bouts of dizziness. To wash in it was to get skin rashes, a burning feel on the skin. It left their hair greasy and sticky. The women found that rice and dal did not get cooked but became hard. A thousand families were directly affected, and well water was tainted a considerable distance from the plant.
The locals, mostly very low in caste status, had never had much beyond good water and a bit of land from the true earth-shaking reforms of Kerala's Communist government, democratically elected in 1957 and evicted two years later with US assistance by a central government terrified by the threat of a good example. On April 22, 2002, the locals commenced peaceful agitation that shut the plant down. Responding to popular pressure, the panchayat rescinded its license to Coca-Cola on August 7, 2003.

"The course was a lot of fun and the instructors are awesome! They are very helpful and passionate about diving! "
"My son and I dove the Sea Tiger today. Devin was great. He knows what he's doing and has the perfect mixture of giving us freedom underwater yet keeping an eye on us"
"My girlfriend and I were told about this company during our stay on the North Shore...We ended up doing 4 dives with the legend Devin. He was very professional but also really easy going at the same time. The best part of it is the exclusivity of the dives"
"Devin was excellent, very low key but safety minded. We especially liked the emphasis on being environmentally conscious and protecting the dive site for future use."
"Devin did a great job. Quickly assessed the group dynamic and capabilities, and then tailored a dive that made sure the kids were being challenged but not put into any danger, mom and I weren't nervous at all."

The Matra Diva: The Iconic Frances Davis
"Frances Davis is much more than the ex-wife of Miles Davis"
It's a magical day when you meet the man of your dreams. A man who has fallen in love with you just you, with all your faults, failures and successes. He takes you in his arms and tells you how proud he is of you and all you do. The stars in your eyes blind you and you add the words "but I love him" to your vocabulary when you reference him for the rest of your life.
Recently I had a rare and unexpected opportunity to speak with Frances Davis. Who is she is surely the question you are now asking yourself. Before my conversation with her, I would have said, Miles Davis' ex-wife. Now I say she is a woman of parts, a successful Broadway star, member of the world-renowned Katherine Dunham troupe and one of the rare people who can put "the first African American woman to...." in front of her name.
Born in Chicago, she began studying ballet at the age of 8 and was en pointe by 10. Davis won a scholarship to the Edna McRae School of Dance and auditioned en pointe for Katherine Dunham. She traveled to New York at the age of 16 accompanied by her father to make this audition. Staying with a family friends she was a protected prima ballerina.
So many successes came Davis's way. Opening for the Benny Goodman Orchestra with her dance partner the legendary Walter Nicks. Traveling to Paris, joining the Paris Opera Ballet, another one of those events she places "the first" in front of. Match Magazine and the rest of the Parisienne press called her "the Leslie Caron of the tropics." In New York, the Broadway stage called and she answered with flair and beauty, appearing in the original production of 'West Side Story," opposite Sammy Davis Jr. in "Mr. Wonderful," "Porgy and Bess" and "Shinbone Alley." Davis was a star.
Backstage admirers were plentiful and of course "there was a lot of competition for me.." One evening one of the visitors was drummer Max Roach who had in tow Miles Davis. "Miles flipped for me right away," she recalled. Davis was unimpressed with him and it would be several years before she saw him again. Appearing in "Mr. Wonderful," she was walking down Broadway when she met him again. This time he said to her , "Now that I found you, I'll never let you go."
There is the life-changing statement, the moment when the beautiful and talented woman Miles Davis flipped for fell for him. She moved in with him and they married. It wasn't long before he went to her Broadway producer and told him his wife would not be working anymore. Her profession required her to be on the road but her husband was not having it. "I want you out of 'West Side Story,' a woman should be with her man," he told her during Lena Horne's performance at the Copa. She subsequently left the Broadway Stage.
Why, at the top of an obviously glowing and growing career, would you just walk away? Davis' answer is one many woman can relate to: "But I was in love with him."
So she left the Broadway stage. Her husband displayed her beauty on three album covers, wrote music for her and took her with him on tour around the world. He had captured his beauty and arranged her life to fit his. Marriage to the "Prince of Darkness" became intolerable, even a gilded cage is still a cage and after nine years ,she left and moved to Los Angeles, where she lives now.
As we women do, she healed and re invented herself. She worked teaching dance and as a host at some of Hollywood's most famous restaurants, including Chasens and Hamburger Hamlet. Her A-list friends call her "the Matra Diva" and she is known all over LA as the ever beautiful and sparkling person she was born to be. Her vision now is to open a new restaurant and she is involved with projects to bring her husband's life to the screen
Davis was pointed out to me in a jazz club one night in Santa Fe as "Miles Davis ex-wife." For me, she is an icon of style, passion and strength. A woman who claims the title as "The First" for so many things; a woman of parts intricate and interesting. She is Frances Davis.

United Chooses The Dream Factory as Fundraising Focus
United Credit Union (Mexico) intends to focus its fundraising efforts on The Dream Factory of Audrain County with continued support of Relay for Life. When looking for causes to champion, the focus was on finding organizations that are unique, more local and that don't garner quite as much national attention. While the Dream Factory has more than 30 chapters across the United States, making it the second largest wish-granting organization in the U.S., they pretty much fly under the radar. The Dream Factory is a volunteer-based, not-for-profit organization devoted to granting the dreams of clinically and chronically ill children ages 3-18.

From Melbourne, Victoria, Australia:
My diabetes educator has recently put me on the waiting list at the hospital for an insulin pump. I talked to the educator today and she said I need to get my blood sugar levels stabilized before starting a pump. For the last month, they have been up and down quite a bit. Why do my blood sugar levels need to be better before going on an insulin pump?
One of the questions the diabetes provider will have to answer is what is a reasonable insulin requirement at the time you are placed on the pump. An overstatement of your requirements may put you at risk for low blood sugars while an understatement of your requirements will put you at risk for high blood sugars. If you can come to a better understanding of what your requirements are, with good blood sugars, the transition to pump therapy will be smoother and more efficient.

Donald Trump is despicable. But he is not alone.
Hate runs through US life and politics.
The Cherokee Trail of Tears.
No Irish Need Apply.
Father Coughlin.
WWII isolationism.
White violence against the 1960s Civil Rights Movement.
Donald Trump didn't invent this particular brand of hate and fear-mongering for his presidential run. It's always been there. Anyone who thinks otherwise has not been paying attention. Like a petri dish of deadly Clostridium botulinum: misogyny, antisemitism, racism, Hispanophobia and Islamophobia have grown quietly over the last twenty years. Just a wee bit at a time, until Trump came along and yanked off the lid.
His fame and money equals eyes and ears.
His popularity has jolted everyone with a heart: Democrat, Republican, Independent, back to reality. Hate is out there. We all need to fight against it. Some have said that if we ignore Trump, he'll go away.
Unlikely. Hate never dissipates because we cover our ears.
Act. Speak. Vote. Be good people.
Be thankful for Donald Trump. We needed a dose of his twisted reality.
You should know that something like 6 to 8 percent of the electorate overall, or about the same share of people who think the Apollo moon landings were faked, believe that Trump speaks for them. (Nate Silver, FiveThirtyEight.)

Eight Unfolding Stages of Depopulation/Genocide
Must read >>> Part 1 . . . Part 2 . . . Part 3
As discussed here:
More videos by Kevin Galalae posted here.
Genocide: Which of the 8 Stages are Happening Now?
"The elderly are useless eaters" — Dr. Henry Kissinger
"A total world population of 250-300 million people, a 95% decline from present levels, would be ideal." — Ted Turner, in an interview with Audubon magazine
"The present vast overpopulation, now far beyond the world carrying capacity, cannot be answered by future reductions in the birth rate due to contraception, sterilization and abortion, but must be met in the present by the reduction of numbers presently existing. This must be done by whatever means necessary." — Initiative for the United Nations ECO-92 EARTH CHARTER
The Georgia Guidestones are a huge stonehenge-like arrangement of granite slabs erected in the early 1980s for mysterious reasons; the persons who commissioned the stones are unknown. Carved into their sides are statements in several languages to be used, presumably, as societal directives in the context of some sort of post-apocalyptic future-a reboot disk for human civilization.
"Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature"
— Georgia Guidestones
"Maintain humanity under 500 million"? Global population is already in the billions.
"Maintain humanity under 500 million"?
Wtf do they mean?
Yep, it's carved in stone.
The statements carved in stone on the faces of the Georgia Guidestones are each translated into: English, Russian, Mandarin Chinese, Arabic, Classical Hebrew, Swahili, Hindi and Spanish.
Further information about the Georgia Guidestones:
Some of you little people gotta die . . .
- Billionaire Ted Turner publicly announced, on this video, that he believes the population should be reduced by roughly 70% to the "two billion" level.
- Also see the video, filmed by Luke Rudkowski, at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-X3sJKtVJE.
A few more quotes of population control advocates:
"The world today has 6.8 billion people. That's heading up to about nine billion. Now if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we could lower that by perhaps 10 or 15 percent." (Source) ["LOWER" global population with "new vaccines"?

#2 U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg….
"Frankly I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don't want to have too many of."

The Lesson: Label 'em "zombies" and, of course, they must die. Easy as pie . . .
The meters have been catching on fire and may have been the cause of the gas line explosion in San Diego that took 8 lives and 47 homes a few months ago. Federal "investigators" said they were not going to investigate if the meter was the cause "because the meter did not cause the explosion". They don't look for things they don't want to find.

Ponder this, legalized baby killing:
Euthanasia for children nears approval by Belgian Parliament
MSNBC in the US agrees:
MSNBC host says newborn infants don't count as 'alive' unless parents decide they do; infanticide is the new abortion
Why Euthanizing Two-year-old Infants is OK
They Love Death–especially for infants
Holy Bible, Old Testament, Psalm 137:9
- Happy is the one who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks. (NIV)
- Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones. (KJV)
Hmmmmm . . .
Come, let us prey . . .
Two scientists recently made headlines all over the world when they released a paper calling for the legalization of "after-birth abortion".
- Alberto Giubilini of Monash University in Melbourne, Australia and Francesca Minerva of the University of Melbourne co-authored an article in the Journal of Medical Ethics entitled "After-birth abortion: why should the baby live?"
- In their paper, they argue that a baby is just a "potential person" and that "killing a newborn should be permissible in all the cases where abortion is, including cases where the newborn is not disabled."
- Giubilini and Minerva argue that just because a baby is human does not mean that it has any rights. The follow quote is from their paper….
"Merely being human is not in itself a reason for ascribing someone a right to life. Indeed, many humans are not considered subjects of a right to life: spare embryos where research on embryo stem cells is permitted, fetuses where abortion is permitted, criminals where capital punishment is legal"
- Giubilini and Minerva also believe that the "burden" placed on the family and on society by a new baby must be given precedence when it comes to matters of live and death.
- The following is another quote from their paper….
"To bring up such children might be an unbearable burden on the family and on society as a whole…On these grounds, the fact that a foetus has the potential to become a person who will have an (at least) acceptable life is no reason for prohibiting abortion."
- Giubilini and Minerva insist that "after-birth abortions" would have a lot of advantages. For example, approximately a third of all babies with Down syndrome are not diagnosed in the womb. After-birth abortions would take care of that "problem" by allowing mothers to "terminate" those children after they have been born.
Statue in Frogner, Norway
Just shake off the oppression of mere human morality, like this guy:
Should little people be allowed to live?
Those who think they're gods laugh at mere human morality.
Kill 'em and let God sort it out
. . . say the psychopath genocidal elite.
Other scientists aren't just concerned about giving the elderly and new mothers more "choices". Many are now advocating the implementation of strict global measures to reduce the human population for the sake of the environment. For example, Colorado State University Professor Philip Cafaro recently released a paper entitled "Climate Ethics and Population Policy". In that paper, Cafaro declared that humans are committing "interspecies genocide" and that therefore it is imperative to reduce our numbers….
"Scientists now speak of humanity's increased demands and impacts on the globe as ushering in a new geological epoch: the Anthropocene. Such selfish and destructive appropriation of the resources of the Earth can only be described as interspecies genocide."
For Cafaro, simply stopping the growth of the human population on earth is not enough. He says that in order to prevent "catastrophic global climate change" we are going to have to "significantly" reduce the size of the global population….
"Ending human population growth is almost certainly a necessary (but not sufficient) condition for preventing catastrophic global climate change. Indeed, significantly reducing current human numbers may be necessary in order to do so."
Unfortunately, a love of death is now widespread at U.S. colleges and universities. For example, Professor of Biology at the University of Texas at Austin Eric R. Pianka once wrote the following….
I do not bear any ill will toward people. However, I am convinced that the world, including all humanity, WOULD clearly be much better off without so many of us.
Population control is something that Bill Gates has been putting a lot of funding into as well. The following example comes from a recent Natural News article….
Mass vaccination is apparently not the only depopulation strategy being employed by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, as new research funded by the organization has developed a way to deliberately destroy sperm using ultrasound technology. BBC News reports that the Gates Foundation awarded a grant to researchers from the University of North Carolina (UNC) to develop this new method of contraception. For their study, the UNC team tested ultrasound on lab rats and found that two 15-minute doses "significantly reduced" both sperm counts and sperm integrity. When administered two days apart through warm salt water, ultrasound caused the rats' sperm counts to drop below ten million sperm per milliliter, which is five million less than the "sub-fertile" range, and stay that way for up to six months.
Sadly, it is not just a few scientists and opinion makers that are obsessed with death and population control. As I have written about previously, the United Nations continues to push Agenda 21 on the entire globe. The following is how the United Nations defines Agenda 21….
Agenda 21 is a comprehensive plan of action to be taken globally, nationally and locally by organizations of the United Nations System, Governments, and Major Groups in every area in which human impacts on the environment.
The United Nations publishes report after report calling for more "global governance" over the environment. The following comes from a recent Fox News article….
The report, "21 Issues for the 21st Century," from the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) Foresight Process, is the culmination of a two-year deliberative process involving 22 core scientists. It is expected to receive considerable attention in the run-up to the Rio+20 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development, which will be held in Rio, Brazil, in June. The scientists who wrote the report say it focuses on identifying emerging issues in the global environment, and that it is not about mandating solutions. But its critics see an agenda lurking in its 60 pages, which call for a complete overhaul of how the world's food and water are created and distributed — something the report says is "urgently needed" for the human race to keep feeding and hydrating itself safely.
But it isn't just food and water that the United Nations wants control over. The truth is that the United Nations is absolutely obsessed with the number of people living on the planet. In a recent report entitled, "Resilient People, Resilient Planet: A Future Worth Choosing" the UN warned about our "unsustainable lifestyles" and of the disastrous impact of population growth….
But what, then, is to be done if we are to make a real difference for the world's people and the planet? We must grasp the dimensions of the challenge. We must recognize that the drivers of that challenge include unsustainable lifestyles, production and consumption patterns and the impact of population growth. As the global population grows from 7 billion to almost 9 billion by 2040, and the number of middle-class consumers increases by 3 billion over the next 20 years, the demand for resources will rise exponentially. By 2030, the world will need at least 50 percent more food, 45 percent more energy and 30 percent more water — all at a time when environmental boundaries are throwing up new limits to supply. This is true not least for climate change, which affects all aspects of human and planetary health.
We are constantly being told these days that the problem is that there are "too many people" and that if there are less people things will be better. Members of the U.S. government are even preaching this philosophy. Just the other day, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius was publicly proclaiming that the new requirement that all health insurance plans cover sterilizations and contraceptives will be good for employers and health insurance companies because it will mean less births. She argued that the savings from less people being born will more than make up for the expense of the sterilizations and the contraceptives. Sebelius told Congress the following on Thursday….
"The reduction in the number of pregnancies compensates for the cost of contraception"
Other members of the Obama administration are preaching the population control gospel as well. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has even stated that population control will be a "centerpiece" of U.S. foreign policy from now on. We even find a love of death in the White House. Barack Obama's top science advisor, John P. Holdren, once wrote the following….
"A program of sterilizing women after their second or third child, despite the relatively greater difficulty of the operation than vasectomy, might be easier to implement than trying to sterilize men. The development of a long-term sterilizing capsule that could be implanted under the skin and removed when pregnancy is desired opens additional possibilities for coercive fertility control. The capsule could be implanted at puberty and might be removable, with official permission, for a limited number of births."
That quote should send a chill up your bones. In America today, life is considered to be cheap, and that is especially true if you are "disabled" or "defective" in any way. At one U.S. hospital, a 3-year-old girl named Amelia was recently denied a kidney transplant because she is considered to be "mentally retarded". How would you feel if that was your child? Unfortunately, society continues to move away from the idea that life is inherently valuable and deserves to be preserved. In fact, many top global opinion makers are openly calling for a dramatic reduction in human numbers.
CNN Founder Ted Turner once said the following….
"A total population of 250-300 million people, a 95% decline from present levels, would be ideal." – Ted Turner
For many more shocking quotes about population control from scientists, politicians and top global opinion makers, just check out this article, or this: Assisted dying in UK must be legalized, demand key figures.
The world is becoming a very heartless place. Those at the top look down on the rest of us as if we were vermin that need to be exterminated. Increasingly, this sick population control agenda is being preached at us in the mainstream media. For example, just check out what the editorial page editor of The Detroit News says should be done in Michigan….
Since the national attention is on birth control, here's my idea: If we want to fight poverty, reduce violent crime and bring down our embarrassing drop-out rate, we should swap contraceptives for fluoride in Michigan's drinking water. We've got a baby problem in Michigan. Too many babies are born to immature parents who don't have the skills to raise them, too many are delivered by poor women who can't afford them, and too many are fathered by sorry layabouts who spread their seed like dandelions and then wander away from the consequences. Michigan's social problems and the huge costs attached to them won't recede until we embrace reproductive responsibility.
He is proposing to put contraceptives into our drinking water?
How can people be so twisted?
Eliminating the Elderly May be Next
- EU-Funded Population Control Scenarios For The Next Forty Years
- Female Dutch euthanasia doctor drugged an elderly patient's coffee then asked her family to hold her down as she fought not to be killed – but the doctor did not break the country's euthanasia laws (dailymail.co.uk)
But WHY?
Perhaps, as Henry Kissinger points out, "The elderly are useless eaters."
Or, maybe, the evil elite needs a much smaller herd if they are going to be able to steer and control everyone for a One World Government, under their control.
Or, maybe, as technology and artificial intelligence machines displace most jobs, drastically fewer humans will be needed as human labor rapidly loses its value. Perhaps the biggest threat we face is the risk that humans are becoming obsolete. (Source)
There is a paradigm shift coming and it is about to rewrite everything we know about economics, human labor, and government dependence. . . . Robotics and artificial intelligence technology are advancing at a pace that will soon replace tens of millions of jobs.
The 7 threats to your survival and fertility (Source)
1) GMOs – Engineered to grow poisonous chemicals right in the crops themselves, GMOs are also designed to cause reproductive failure in any mammal consuming them.
2) Vaccines – Loaded with stealth cancer viruses and chemical adjuvants, vaccines are the primary cause behind today's rising rates of infertility, birth defects and spontaneous abortions. Vaccines are aggressively pushed in minority neighborhoods and low-income areas.
3) Chemtrails – Formulated with aluminum, barium and other heavy metals, chemtrails cause human exposure to toxic metals that impair brain function and neurological function. This exposure may contribute to birth defects and deformities, but details need to be further explored.
4) Prescription medications – Prescription drugs and chemotherapy damage DNA, promote impotence and decrease both sperm quality and egg quality.
5) Chemical food additives – These chemicals damage DNA and egg quality, causing infertility to be passed down through multiple generations of females. What you eat today can damage the eggs of your great-great-great granddaughter. Poisons in the food supply right now include sodium nitrite (in nearly all processed meats), MSG, aspartame and chemical preservatives.
6) Biological weapons release – A possible "fast kill" scenario being explored by world governments, a biological weapons release can burn through the population with high kill rates while being conveniently blamed on any desired scapegoat such as a fictional terrorist group. "We are at war with Eurasia!"
7) Food fascism leading to starvation – Corporations like Monsanto are seeking total global domination (and corporate ownership) over the entire food supply. This concept is called "food fascism," and it would allow corporations and governments to determine who eats and who starves. Notice how home gardens are under attack? (http://www.naturalnews.com/032960_Julie_Bass_home_gardening.html) Raw milk centers are raided at gunpoint? (http://www.naturalnews.com/033220_Rawesome_Foods_armed_raids.html) Backyard ranching is being criminalized? (http://www.naturalnews.com/035585_Michigan_farms_raids.html) This is all part of the food fascism assault that's already underway in our world. Those are the top threats to your survival and fertility. What follows next is how to beat them. .
The 10 strategies for beating the odds and winning the survivor game (Source)
#1) Avoid all poisons – These means eliminating all GMOs, fluoride, aspartame, MSG, artificial fragrances, chemical medications, chemical food additives and all other synthetic chemicals from your life. For most families, this means gutting your pantry, bathroom counters, garage chemicals and lawn care chemicals. Remember: The globalist controllers refuse to eat GMO and consume only organic foods. Ever wonder why? Because they know the chemical-laden, genetically modified foods are being used to kill off the uninformed masses.
#2) Use nutrition to protect your DNA – This is absolutely crucial. Good nutrition (superfoods, high mineralization, antioxidants, plant concentrates, etc.) can prevent DNA damage from exposure to low-levels of radiation as well as toxic chemicals. Above all, good nutrition boosts reproductive health, sperm quality, egg quality, and even brain function (so you think more clearly and don't get suckered into globalist propaganda).
#3) Do not vaccinate your children – This is a key defense against the great culling. Those who vaccinate their children condemn them to increased risks of infertility, thereby putting their entire genetic line at risk of annihilation. By avoiding vaccines and allowing your children to naturally experience the chicken pox or measles, you actually make them stronger and more resistant to future infections.
#4) Grow your own food – The only food you can truly trust is food you grow yourself. Using heirloom seeds, ocean water trace mineral concentrates, soil probiotics and rainwater, grow food that nourishes your body and brain. Save your seeds and re-plant them each season. Over time, they will adapt to your specific soils and climate, improving yields and seed viability. See our heirloom survival seed solution at: http://www.supplysource.com/surthrival-seed-can
#5) Learn skills of self defense and physical security – Be prepared to physically defend your life, home and property against tyrants, looters, criminals or even zombies (!). Learn the fundamental skills of self defense, weapon competency and marksmanship. I teach this information in a downloadable preparedness course at: http://programs.webseed.com/Health_Ranger_Live_Defense__NN.htm
#6) Reject mainstream propaganda – In order to protect your mind, you must refuse to subject yourself to the mind-numbing propaganda of the mainstream media. This means throwing out your television, shutting off cable news, and shifting to information sources such as truth-telling websites and books.
#7) Do not try to "save" everyone. Most of the masses will be culled. They are already beyond hope, having been poisoned with fluoride, vaccines, GMOs and other chemicals into a state of total denial. Have compassion for them, for they are the last of their kind. But do find other aware and informed survivors and get to know them. Share skills and knowledge. Form a community defense plan for a worst-case scenario possibility. Cross-train each other to spread skills across the group. There is strength in numbers.
#8) Follow a philosophy of core redundancies. Examine all the critical infrastructure necessary to support your life — food, water, heat, shelter, emergency medicine, defense, communications, etc. — and put at minimum a second layer of redundancy in place for each one.
#9) Train yourself for mental adaptability. In order to survive, you must not allow yourself to ever be locked into the "tunnel vision" of narrow thinking. To survive, you must be able to adapt, solve problems, and use resources in innovative ways. Training for this can include solving mental puzzles (including playing "problem solving" puzzle video games), exploring the outdoors, learning new skills (such as juggling), and trying out new hobbies. Do not let your mind stagnate. You will need it to be flexible.
#10) Avoid radiation exposure. Nothing damages your DNA faster than radiation, and sources of radiation are all around us. From the TSA body scanners at the airport to the CT scans ordered by your doctor, these harmful, ionizing radiation procedures damage your DNA and compromise fertility. Avoid using cell phones, Smart Meters and even wi-fi, if possible. Especially avoid medical imaging scans, dental X-rays and security scans of all kinds. Radiation damage is cumulative, meaning it gets progressively worse over time as you are exposed to repeated doses of low-level radiation.

3 Life-Changing Health Benefits of Legal Gay MarriageHealth
By Jennifer Gerson Uffalussy
Gay marriage is a constitutional right, according to a historic 5-4 ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court today.
Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote the majority opinion, which he concluded by saying:
"No union is more profound than marriage, for it embodies the highest ideals of love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice, and family. In forming a marital union, two people become something greater than once they were. As some of the petitioners in these cases demonstrate, marriage embodies a love that may endure even past death. It would misunderstand these men and women to say they disrespect the idea of marriage. Their plea is that they do respect it, respect it so deeply that they seek to find fulfillment for themselves. Their hope is not to be condemned to live in loneliness, excluded from one of civilization's oldest institutions. They ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law. The Constitution grants them that right."…

Dr Jörg Witting, Fabian von Busse
On 9 March 2009, almost four years after it cleared a concentration in the construction materials sector, the Federal Cartel Office imposed subsequent conditions on the acquiring party after a change in the Federal Supreme Court's jurisprudence. The Federal Cartel Office argued that, if a clearance decision is subject to court proceedings in which the decision can be overturned, the acquirer cannot rely on the protection of legitimate expectations.
The German Act against Restraints of Competition (ARC) contains a de-minimis exception, excluding certain concentrations from the scope of German merger control. The de-minimis exception provides, inter alia, that the merger control regime is not applicable to concentrations affecting a market whose total volume was below EUR 15 million in the calendar year preceding the concentration (de-minimis markets).
The Federal Cartel Office cleared the concentration in August 2005. The affected regional markets for mastic asphalt were not assessed in the clearance decision, owing to the fact that these markets were subject to the de-minimis exception (as it was interpreted in 2005) and thus out of scope of German merger control. Mastic asphalt is a material used for special purposes in the construction of roads and bridges, in hydraulic engineering and for pavements. It is sold within Germany in regional de-minimis markets. A competitor contested the clearance decision before the Düsseldorf Higher Regional Court.
In July 2006, the case law changed when the Federal Supreme Court ruled that the de-minimis exception was not applicable to neighbouring de-minimis markets which jointly exceed the EUR 15 million volume threshold. Neighbouring de-minimis markets can therefore be added together, so that the threshold is met on an aggregate basis. In particular, the court stated that no further consideration of the macroeconomic significance of the concentration is necessary once the EUR 15 million threshold is met on an aggregate basis.
As the aggregate volume of the de-minimis markets for mastic asphalt in Germany amounts to EUR 24 million, the Federal Cartel Office conducted a further market investigation into these markets and found that the markets had to be added together and that the concentration led to a dominant position on certain markets. Accordingly, in a supplementary process, the Federal Cartel Office amended its clearance decision and imposed further conditions in order to prevent a dominant position. Pursuant to these conditions, the acquirer must sell certain mastic asphalt business units.
Surprisingly, the Federal Cartel Office did not base this subsequent imposition of conditions on the special rules of the ARC but relied on the general provisions for public authorities of the German Act on Administrative Proceedings (AAP). According to the arguments of the Federal Cartel Office, the provisions for changes to and revocation of a clearance decision set out in the ARC were inapplicable to the present case. However, the Federal Cartel Office held that, despite the inapplicability of the ARC, it was not barred from subsequently changing its clearance decision as the decision was subject to ongoing court proceedings, which could in any event have led to an annulment.
Consequently, the Federal Cartel Office referred to the provisions in the AAP according to which an administrative act (i.e. the clearance decision) can be revoked or changed without observance of any time periods, as long as the administrative act in question is subject to court proceedings. The Federal Cartel Office argued that the subsequent imposition of conditions was permissible in order to expedite the proceedings. It had to be expected that the original clearance decision would be overruled by the court, which would lead to the merger control proceedings being restarted – a result which would contradict the principle of expedition of proceedings.
The decision is both remarkable for its legal basis and for the long period of time after which the clearance decision was amended. Additionally, in the present case it was the acquirer who requested that the Federal Cartel Office amend its decision, in order to mitigate the risk that it would be overruled in full by the court.

My nails grow at the alarming speed, exciting and overwhelming it is when it has never been so. But I will take it, decorate nicely and put the gloves away. As for the decorating studs they are one of my favourite toys when it comes to bringing the cuticles alive. No glue or any adhesive required as long as they are attached before the nail varnish has dried out and only a layer or two of base coat is needed. I'm planning to get busy with my nails in the coming weeks, I'll maybe even document the process here. Who knows... x

Prizmo Go was created for everybody and with VoiceOver Accessibility, Prizmo Go is another good tool for the BVI community to put in their toolbox. With the ability to share the text captured and with pretty good recognition, Prizmo Go ranks up there with Office Lens, another recently released OCR app with VoiceOver Accessibility working well.
The capturing of text and the reading is remarkable.
Prizmo Go has 2 in-app upgrades available. Export Pack allows for exporting text and files, open in other apps, and work with WorkFlow. Cloud OCR is an upgrade for the OCR, although the on-board OCR works well, the Cloud OCR claims to have better recognition and 6 more languages and is able to detect what language the text is automatically.
Prizmo Go recognizes the relationship of the camera to the image and tells the user to move or to adjust the angle or to turn the camera.
This Free app with in-app upgrades is actually a pretty good OCR application and this being version 1.0 there is a good chance that we will see even more opportunities from the PrizmoGo App Team. Be on the lookout for the next upgrade coming soon.
