Media 100, a unit of Optibase, and a leading provider of advanced media systems, announced new Version 10 software planned for its initial release of Media 100 HD. Based on direct user feedback from Media 100"s extensive installed base, Version 10 is Media 100"s biggest Mac-based software release in its history and advances Media 100 HD with many high-value features including:
An extensible timeline featuring up to 99 video tracks; Accurate, intuitive, real-time RGB color correction; Software codec with support for full motion alpha channels; Advanced RGB, YUV, HSL real-time keyer with softness and offset controls.
Media 100 HD, first previewed at NAB2003 and formally announced at the end of 2003, features real-time 8- and 10-bit uncompressed and compressed native HD and SD editing. The system also integrates full support for Media 100 i offline formats, allowing the capture of HD content as SD offline-quality media at as little as 5 KB per frame, a first for native HD editing solutions. Resulting SD offline programs can be automatically conformed at full uncompressed HD resolution. Supporting both digital and analog video I/O, Media 100 HD is the first integrated solution that bridges the gap between an HD future and a Betacam past. First shipments of Media 100 HD with Version 10 software are set to begin in the fall of 2004.
"We know that the future of Media 100"s activity is dependent on our ability to listen and respond to the needs of our customers," said Mike Savello, Media 100 vice president of sales and marketing. "Based on feedback from Media 100 customers at NAB and elsewhere, this new Version 10 feature set is a direct answer to their input. With support for multiple tracks of video, new color correction capabilities, motion alpha mattes, and an advanced keyer, this new release allows our customers to realize the full benefits of our powerful OS X architecture."
Multiple Video Tracks
The Media 100 HD Version 10 release enables support for up to 99 tracks, each able to contain video, graphics, CG and still image data. Video and graphics clips in these tracks integrate fully keyframed opacity controls and enable users to add layers of video and graphics content to their timelines quickly and easily. Version 10 also allows editors to view a single frame of the composite of all tracks when the CTI (Current Time Indicator) is stationary, allowing users to view instantly all graphics and video elements in both the subsampler window and on the output video monitor.

Biologist Dr. Doping tells about the mechanism of action of ribosomes, the protein biosynthetic apparatus and resistant strains of bacteria to antibiotics.
Antibiotics is a small molecule natural, semisynthetic or synthetic origin, which inhibit the growth of bacteria. Mass production and use of antibiotics began during World War II, in 1943. Most of the known antibiotics produced by bacteria or fungi, which themselves are resistant to the antibiotic itself and provide a competitive advantage against other bacteria. The discovery of antibiotics revolutionized medicine and provide humanity with several decades of relatively safe existence.
Mechanisms of action of antibiotics
Certain types of antibiotics act as inhibitors of protein synthesis apparatus and the central part - the ribosome. The ribosome - a kind of factory, a large molecular machine weighing more than 2.5 megadalton and a diameter of about 200 angstroms, which are going to proteins in the cells of all living organisms. Ribosomes are studying with the 1950s, but today, this field of research is experiencing a rebirth. Interest in the study of protein prokaryotic (bacterial) cells biosynthesis apparatus due to the fact that it was bacterial ribosomes are targets for many types of antibiotics used in therapy.
Antibiotics bind to the ribosome and inhibit, i.e. slow or prevent the individual reactions which are catalyzed by the ribosome. They can compete with the binding site of the natural ligand or block a specific conformation of the ribosome. The individual structural elements of the ribosome have conformational mobility that allows it to interact with native substrates and to provide the complex process of protein biosynthesis. But some antibiotics may inhibit certain reactions. Due to this, protein synthesis stops or starts to happen correctly. As a result, abnormal proteins produced, and this leads to bacterial cell death.
Scientists were able to make much progress in the study of protein biosynthesis, precisely because at the moment a large number of known inhibitors. By inhibiting the individual reactions may be obtained new information about the molecular mechanism of action of ribosomes. On the other hand, can determine the molecular mechanism of inhibition. For some antibiotics, for example, proposed a molecular mechanism that was investigated in vitro. This mechanism has provided an inhibitory effect at concentrations several orders of magnitude higher than actual use in therapy. The experiments have discovered another reaction, and which inhibits the antibiotic at low concentrations. If we have multiple steps, it is clear that one of their antibiotic effect. But since all the reaction difficult to verify, it is difficult to find exactly where the antibiotic exerts its destructive effect. Check all reactions requires considerable time and resources to research. There are several levels at which you can investigate the action of antibiotics. The most simple - grow bacterial cells, they add an antibiotic and see how the cells died. But this approach remains unknown how it happened. Vitamin B12 Cyanocobalamin injection - is very essential for DNA making.
Biosynthesis apparatus of Protein
There are a number of approaches that divide the processes that have been affected in the cell. Typically, processes related to DNA replication, transcription or translation. If it turns out that it is the processes associated with the broadcast, you can use the arsenal of techniques that have been developed - methods in vitro, when we use purified components of the protein-synthesizing system, ie, the ribosome, transfer RNA, protein elongation factor. In this case, the system adds only known components, and we know exactly what is going on in such a system. And then we can add inhibitor and analyze the reaction it touches.
The range of methods is quite wide. The recent boom in the field of protein biosynthesis studies occurred in the 2000s, when the first full three-dimensional structures of ribosomes, which were obtained by X-ray crystallography. During these studies in 2009 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. At this point, the researchers were divided into two camps. One group believed that outstanding issues remained, and you can minimize your research and start doing something else. And another group of scientists believe that everything is just beginning, because it is unclear molecular mechanism. Before receiving spatial structures functional studies resembled study of the black box. We took ribosome added thereto substrates, messenger RNA (media), transfer RNA, and the obtained polypeptide is output. What happened in the middle of this process - is unclear. With the advent of structural information the first time scientists were able to make experiments more directly. Now we know where a protein is located, where any nucleotide. So, we can assume how the one or the other functional center, make-directed mutagenesis and check how it will affect certain reactions.
Immediately after the occurrence of the first spatial structures were structures in which the ribosome was in combination with antibiotics. Then I was born the first understanding of where this antibiotic associated, in which the center, he can influence. Then these biochemical, biophysical studies have found a new life. Structural methods that have been developed have had a tremendous impact on the study of the ribosome. Later, there were methods cryoelectron microscopy, which now also allows to obtain the spatial structure of large macromolecular complexes with very high resolution - about 2.5-3 angstroms. Methods cryoelectron microscopy gradually replacing crystallography, a number of parameters they it has surpassed. Now we can assemble functional complex, to see where in the associated antibiotic, and make assumptions about its molecular mechanism of action. It is important that now obtain structural information takes days and weeks, not years, as it was before. This, of course, enormous scientific and technological progress.
Bacterial resistance to antibiotics
According to a 2014 World Health Organization report, about 23 000 deaths in the United States (and about 25,000 in the EU) each year are associated with infections caused by bacterial strains that are resistant to antibiotics. Infections cause significant economic damage (direct and indirect), billions of dollars.
The first antibiotics were used in the clinic in the 40-ies of the last century. Later, there were new classes of antibiotics, and a few years later were found bacterial strains resistant to the antibiotic.
This stability has a number of reasons. First, the bacteria are able to mutate. Mutations occur in the ribosomal RNA or protein some factor and change the properties of the ligand. Thus inhibitor that is an antibiotic that binds to the same or a nearby place, simply ceases to provide such a significant effect. After this mutant strain gets a competitive advantage and begins to multiply.
Bacteria as evolutionarily ancient organisms have learned to adapt to difficult environmental conditions. They have effective methods of developing resistance to antimicrobial agents, antibiotics, so as soon as there is an antibiotic in the treatment, after some time, we must expect that there will be a steady strain and the antibiotics cease to operate.
Since the widespread use of tetracycline and before the first reliably resistant strains it was about 9 years old. And for methicillin from the beginning of the application to the detection of resistant strains it has been only 2 years. In recent history, some antibiotics documented the emergence of resistant strains of the following year after the beginning of their application. The final point in the struggle to put virtually impossible. The only thing that can be done - to pay serious attention to the development of new classes of antibiotics to constantly replenish the arsenal and develop new drugs.
The development of new antibiotics
Most antibiotics that are currently used in the therapy - is either natural substances or derivatives of certain natural substances. And only a few antibiotics - a fully synthetic, invented by chemists substance.
There are several approaches to the development of new antibiotics. Basically they are trying to find new inhibitors by screening of those substances which microorganisms produce - either bacteria or fungi. Since the likelihood that such substances are synthesized is large, it is possible to sort just those substances which are released by bacteria or fungi. Most of the known antibiotics today detected in this way. An alternative method - a rational design, ie the use of data on the structure of the ribosome, the structure of the active site and attempt to come up with a molecule that interacts with a specific functional center and inhibit the reaction. Moreover, both approaches can be combined.

The Supreme Court has strongly reprimanded Assam's National Register of Citizens coordinator and the Registrar General of India for their statements on the issue, saying it could have sent them to jail for contempt, and restrained them from speaking to media in future without its approval.
A bench comprising justices Ranjan Gogoi and R F Nariman termed as "most unfortunate" the statements made by Assam NRC coordinator Prateek Hajela and RGI Sailesh to media on the issue of dealing with claims and objections of those who have been left out in the draft NRC.
"Are you in any manner concerned with the claims and objections to be made… What have you said in newspapers and tell us how are you concerned with that," a visibly angry Justice Gogoi told the officials and asked them to read the news reports in the court.
"Don't forget, you are the officers of the court. Your job is to comply with our directions. How can you go to press like this," the bench said adding that, it could have sent both of them to jail.
Questioning the authority of the officials, the bench reprimanded them and restrained them from going to media in future on the NRC issue.
The bench said that it had asked the Centre to formulate standard operating procedures to deal with the claims and objections of those who have been left out in the draft NRC and accused the officials of making statements on modalities which squarely fell in its domain.

As a prospective student, you probably hear about instrument training from more experienced students, and you might wonder what exactly "instrument" flying entails.
Instrument flying can seem like an elusive or abstract term if you're not familiar with flying, but it quickly becomes clear as you learn the difference between VFR and IFR, or VMC and IMC. Even seasoned pilots tend to use these terms incorrectly, so don't feel too bad if you don't know exactly what they mean. Let's take a look at what all of this means...

March 31, 2020 - Latest: What has happened to markets this year? by Darius McDermott
20th September 2013
One in five Britons anticipate that they will never stop working as a result of not having saved adequately for retirement writes Philip Scott.
The shocking statistic comes from the latest HSBC Future of Retirement report which found that some 19% of people in the UK now expect that they will never be able to afford to retire fully.
The findings paint an especially bleak picture for those living alone in retirement. The UK topped the league table of the countries with the highest proportion, at 36%, of those who are divorced or separated expecting to work indefinitely – compared to just 20% globally. Some 31% of those who are widowed had the same expectation – compared to 23% globally.
Two fifths of retired people surveyed, at 39%, in the UK said that financially, they had not prepared adequately or at all for a comfortable retirement, with 35% of those people only realising they were under-prepared after retiring.

However just 2% of respondents who did not prepare adequately or at all said they would have to go back to work to cover their financial shortfall. But a massive 44% are resigned to the idea that they will just never be able to make up their shortfall.
But notably 37% of UK respondents aged between 55-64 years of age said they actually wanted to continue working.
Christine Foyster, head of wealth management at HSBC, says: "People want to slow down in later life and, while some welcome the chance to stay economically active, many may not. Whereas some people regard a comfortable retirement as a natural entitlement, for a growing number this is not the case.
"Life is full of reasons to prioritise short term spending over longer term planning, but the sooner people start saving, the less likely they will have to rely on working in old age."
HSBC's study also suggests that even those who do eventually retire might not be able to achieve the retirement they want. Half of retired people surveyed in the UK who said they have been unable to realise their plans for retirement, believed this was because they have less money to live on than they had envisaged.
It found that people's expectations of a work-free retirement dwindle as they enter old age, with 20% of people between 55-64 years of age saying they expect they will have to continue working indefinitely, compared to just 15% of 25-34 year-olds.
Tom McPhail, head of pensions research at Hargreaves Lansdown says: "It is vital that everyone takes personal responsibility for the retirement savings. The three most important points to address are: Am I saving enough? Is my money invested well? How will I draw my retirement income?
"Unless all pension scheme members are actively encouraged to address these questions and to plan for their retirement, it is likely that dire predictions about millions of people never being able to afford to retire are likely to come true."
How much do you need to save?
Based on a 22 year old and a 35 year old saving into an auto-enrolment pension scheme at the default contribution rate of 8%, supplemented by a full state pension entitlement. The figures below from Hargreaves Lansdown show the drop in income as they make the transition into retirement at age 68, as well as the additional contributions they would have to make if they want to hit their target replacement rate income in retirement.

Why free-pitching is bad for clientsPosted in: Articles, Design, Ethics
I've written about free-pitching before and I hope my opinion of it is fairly obvious. Many designers don't like it but this is often just seen as sour grapes or that these designers are out of touch with the new economy of competition. I thought it would be useful to describe why free-pitching is bad from a client's perspective. This might sound like an oxymoron: how can clients not get a good deal from free work?
Most people work for a living. Most people need to earn money. Designers are no exception. So ask yourself this: how long would you spend working on something if you weren't getting paid for it? How long would you work on it, if you had other paid work to do? Most people would answer, 'not long'. So the idea of asking someone to not spend a lot of time on your project doesn't sound like a great idea.
Everyone likes a bargain. Especially in the UK, we have developed a sale culture: 'buy one get one free', '50 per cent off', 'offer valid for today only'. We like to think we are getting something for nothing. The reality is we are usually 'tricked' into thinking that we have bagged a bargain. There is no such thing as a free lunch and anything given away for free isn't really free or is it recouped later at some other time. And so it is with free-pitching; the free part of the design is paid-for by making designers (often juniors) work long hours, missing out on seeing their family and friends. Or it is recouped by marking-up future design costs, or other services like print-buying or, hidden in impressive sounding technical stuff for web development.
It has been well documented of designers 'cutting corners' to produce design work on spec. There have been instances of free clip-art downloaded from the web being used, logos being re-used for several companies, plagiarism and even children designing on crowdsourcing websites. Some have even used stock imagery for high-profile 'design work' which sounds fine, until you realise there are no copyright restrictions preventing anyone from re-making that same design. When there is no money to be made, quality suffers and so do morals.
Good business relationships are built on trust. Looking for speculative work means there is little trust in the client–designer relationship. The client is only using the designer to gain a cheap product; the designer is desperate for work. The designer has little control over the process and little control over intellectual property or copyright. The relationship isn't equal. Good design comes from collaboration and is most definitely a two-way process. Free-pitching is a one-way street where the designer must react to the client's demands or be out of the running. A lot of a designer's work is about client education and hand-holding through the sometimes grey art of design and print, but this can't happen when there isn't trust.
I've been in situations like this. I was once called at 5.30pm on a Friday afternoon by a client we had worked with for years. Another designer they used had let them down and their newsletter needed doing ASAP. Can you help? I did work over the weekend and got the job done. Then a few months later I was asked to free-pitch for work for this same client. Loyality? Trust? It had gone. I said no and I never worked for them again. If they were dropped in it again and they called, I would say 'no' again. Sour grapes? A little, but I need to trust clients if I'm going to work all hours to help them out of a tricky situation. I need to trust them as much as they need to trust me. Free-pitching encourages a one-off, me-first, no thought for the future approach and this just isn't good business sense. Putting designers out of business isn't good business sense either; no designer or design agency wins all free-pitches they enter. Free-pitching isn't sustainable business.
And talking of sensible business practice, is it wise to obtain work where no contracts have been exchanged and no ownership rights discussed?
Another problem with spec work is consistency. If you ask ten designers to design a poster, regardless of how tight your brand and design guidelines are, you will get ten different designs. This is the nature of people – we all look at things differently. If you want a patch-work quilt approach to your identity then this isn't a problem. If you care how you are seen, then free-pitching encourages a fragmented approach, and clearly isn't a wise choice. Long-term relationships with designers, encourage a long-term view of your objectives and needs. A designer who you've been working with for years will understand your hard-to-put-into-words concept or project. A designer you've found from a free-pitch listing website, will not.
This penultimate point is a tough pill to swallow: are you being lazy by putting your project out to a free-pitch? Usually free-pitch briefs will be minimal and lacking detail. Clients sometimes see free-pitching as a way to get their thinking work done for them. It is an easy and risk-free way to come up with something good, where something didn't exist at all beforehand (it isn't a designer's job to to the client's job for them). If it works and a designer puts in the hours and gets it right, great! If not, then it's not the client's fault. It can be explained away to managers that the designers didn't get it spot on, when the truth is the project was ill-thought through. The solution? Another round of pitches.
And what about the moral question of asking someone to work for free? Would you ask a plumber to install a new toilet with the chance of 'winning' the new shower project? Sounds rather silly doesn't it? Asking people to do work for free just isn't right.

Ojai based designer Susie Herr's studio, Mend, never shies away from bright color, bold pattern, or hand-crafted details. This is visible in the nursery she recently completed for a young couple expecting their first child. This skill for layering color came from a background in the apparel industry, followed by seven years at an interior design firm before setting out on her own to start Mend.
What was the inspiration for the nursery?
At the start of the design process, I knew my clients were expecting a baby boy. Allowing the architecture to inspire the design, we went with a youthful retro chic feel. I knew I wanted to wallpaper the crib wall, so when we landed on the perfect, not-your-typical-boy-blue paper for the nursery, it provided a jumping off point for the rest of the space.
How do you balance creating a youthful space with creating a beautifully designed space?
When designing nurseries and children's rooms, I always try to design a space that the child can grow up with, nothing too 'theme-y'. Kiddie spaces are an opportunity to have just a bit more fun with color and pattern, but the palette still needs to be cohesive, so same principals of designing an adult space, but more playful.
The graphic wallpaper on the crib wall and the rocking chair corner are some of my favorite parts of this nursery. I love all the natural light in that little nook, a perfect place to rest with baby, and as the baby grows, a perfect place to read to the baby and to watch him play.

Summer is just around the corner and that means it's grilling time — oh wait, I take that back despite my wife saying I'm crazy I'm grilling all year round. Snow, rain, hot weather — cold weather it really does not matter to me but I love grilling. Always looking to get that perfect cooked meat or vegetables along with those photogenic looking grill marks I was looking for a product that could achieve better results than the small steel grates on the grill that would not stay very hot, does not give that sear marks like I love either. I was in luck — I saw an advertisement in a magazine for the "ManGrate" which is a set of cast iron grill grates that sit on top of your current grates. I had to have them and put the ManGrate to the test.
The ManGrate arrived and they are very heavy, well, cast iron so of course. Setup of the ManGrate was very easy take them out of the box place on a cold grill and then you need to season them — just like other cast iron products. They recommend you use a cooking spray like Pam or Olive Oil to season the grates and once coated to crank up the heat on the grill for about 15-20 minutes. After that you are ready to grill!
Since the cast iron tends to stay hotter longer and hold the heat much better you should drop the flame down to a medium heat for cooking. As seen in the video I tested a few different things on the grill including chicken thighs, pork chop, hotdog and some vegetables too. The second I placed them on the ManGrate you can hear that lovely sizzle and sear sound.
The vegetables, pork and hot dog started to get marks almost right away but since the chicken is oddly shaped that was not really happening. However, everything was cooking a little more different than usual and it looked really good. The chicken skin started to crisp up and get a nice golden brown color — more even than just on the normal grill grates. I cooked everything through and it all came out delicious — I think it also helped to cook everything more evenly as well too.
The following night I had another pork chop recipe that I wanted to try which actually was really simple. Coat the chop in canola oil and season with Chile powder, salt and pepper and grill'em up! Brought the grill up to temperature, dropped back down to a medium flame and placed the pork right on the ManGrate. I'm not sure if it's because of being cast iron but meat sticking to the grates has not been an issue — perhaps because of the higher heat and better distribution of the heat…. I almost always have meet stuck to the grill even with the cooking spray — so that was awesome too!
5 mins on each side of the pork chop with a quarter turn at 2 1/2 minutes to get those perfect crisscross sear marks. Ten minutes later the chops were done — and the looked excellent! Not only did the color look great, but they were plump and juicy too. Took the chops off and let them sit for a few mins to redistribute the juices and it was time to eat. The reaction — everyone love the pork chops and kept asking me how I cooked them — so of course I showed them my ManGrate which they were all intrigued.
After only grilling up a few things — I'm already in love with the ManGrate. Clean-up was a cinch and if you see rust starting to form just cleaning it up and re-season them again…and you're good to go. My only complaint was that I wish there was a way to lock the grates in place when you put on your existing plates — yes they are heavy but they would still move — mostly when cleaning them, but this is really not that big of a deal.
I'm looking forward to grilling up some burgers and salmon to see those results as well but already can imagine how they will turn out! The cast-iron ManGrate is the perfect add-on accessory for any grill-master and I give the "ManGrate" 4.5 stars and one Damn Good Review!
A must for any griller
- Easy to use
- Beautiful grill marks
- Heavy-duty

The cold here in sunny Strongsville, OH doesn't seem to be stopping. It's quite aggravating. It's been snowing since Monday night, and has shown no signs of slowing or stopping.
To give you an idea about the snow, Strongsville had a snow day yesterday.
We had a snow day.
And it was called off on Tuesday night.
This kind of stuff doesn't happen. EVAR.

Your Guide To Sit-In Kayak
However, there are certain things that you need to aware of while purchasing a Sit-In Kayak and that is – getting in and out of a Sit-In Kayak could prove to be a real struggle for the beginner. In some unlikely event, if the Sit-In Kayak gets capsized, getting it back to its former position could be a hard nut to crack. Since the Kayak is most likely to get filled with water, just flipping the capsized boat would not solve the problem at all. You will have to drain the water out of the Kayak before you can hop in it again.
But there are some definite advantages of having a Sit-In Kayak and that is – these Sit-In Kayaks are extremely stable in nature and therefore, it is very unlikely that the boat will get capsized easily. Sit-In Kayaks are also easy to use and this is the reason why they are predominantly used for different recreational purposes.
Compared to Sit-On-Top Kayaks, Sit-In Kayaks are specious. You don't feel claustrophobic at all while paddling this Kayak. The good thing about these Sit-Inside kayaks is that they are very lightweight and therefore, carrying them around would not require extra hands. You can move a Sit-In kayak all by yourself. Don't get overly concerned about things like tipping over because Sit-In Top kayaks are remarkably stable on water.

Sit-In Top kayaks are great for paddling on Stillwater; you and your kids are definitely going to have great fun together if you decide to opt for a good quality Sit-In kayak.
Types of Sit-In Kayaks
Sit-in Kayaks are also available in shapes and sizes and thereby making it all the more difficult for the buyers to make the right decisions. To help you out, here we have listed some popular types of Sit-In Kayaks available in the market and also on Amazon store –
1. Recreational Sit-in Kayak
Recreational Sit-in Kayaks are best-suited for the beginners and also for the professionals from these following fields – photography, fish catching etc. If you are thinking of taking these Kayaks in open sea, you are certainly making a big mistake because Recreational Sit-in Kayaks have not been designed to deal with strong currents or fast wind. Recreational Sit-in Kayaks are ideal for use in lakes, pond or calm rivers.
Designed for shorter trips, these Recreational Sit-in Kayaks don't have large bulkheads. But they do have large cockpits that make it easier for both newbie and pro Kayakers to get in and out of the Kayak easily. These recreational sit-in kayaks tend to have large width because they are mostly known for offering great stability. Skegs are conspicuously absent on these recreational kayaks and most of these kayaks are made from polyethylene that makes them extremely lightweight.
2. Ocean Sit-In Kayak
As the name suggest, Ocean Sit-In Kayaks are designed for paddling in ocean. Length of an Ocean Sit-In Kayak can be anywhere between 15 to 18 feet and most of them have multiple hatches included because you will need more supplies if you are planning to paddle for days. To deal with the challenges of unpredictable waves or strong wind, skegs are attached to the Kayaks and it had added to the mobility and flexibility of these Ocean Sit-In Kayaks. Some Ocean Sit-In Kayaks sometimes have some cool accessories attached to them like deck mounted pumps for draining out water and a compass to help the Kayaker to track the direction.
Ocean Sit-In Kayaks have a robust structure and they rarely get capsized unless the weather is too turbulent. They track straight on water and its large and bulky design adds to its stability which you will need sorely when you will be kayaking on seas. Ocean Sit-In Kayaks can be made from any of these following materials – Carbon-Kevlar, Fiberglass or plastic.
3. Day Tour Sit-In Kayaks
Known for its resourcefulness, Day Tour Sit-In Kayak is a top choice for beginners. Compared to other types of Sit-In Kayaks, Day Tour Sit-In Kayaks are a bit longer and they have ample storage space to keep your gears safe and away from the water. The large storage space may come handy for those kayakers who like to go for day long trip. Though ideal for Stillwater, Day Tour Sit-In Kayak can also be used for coaster water given the fact that the weather is calm and there is no strong wind. They tend to be 12 to 16 feet long in size. Skeg is usually available in most of these Day Tour Sit-In Kayaks and that means, you can change its position on the water without much struggle. To enhance the paddling efficiency, the cockpits have been redesigned. The cockpit is not that comfortable as it is not designed for comfort rather it is designed to improve paddling efficiency as we have just explained.
Sit-In Kayak Buying Guide
As we have already discussed above, Sit-In Kayaks are available in different shapes and sizes and thus it makes it all the more confusing for the prospective buyer who have no idea what factors he/she needs to check before making the final call. To help you out, we have prepared this small but useful Sit-In Kayak buying guide –
1. Your Weight
Before you even start scouting for the perfect Sit-In Kayak for yourself, you need to take a hard look at yourself. I mean, you need to know your height and weight otherwise you will end up buying the wrong kayak. If you are a big and muscular guy, you need to go for a large Kayak; maybe 15 feet in length and make sure to check out its weight capacity because you would definitely don't want to see crack developing on the surface because of your weight. Choose open cockpit if you are a lanky guy because that will give you enough legroom to rest and stretch while paddling.
2. Color of the Kayak
Well, this factor gets widely ignored by almost all kayakers but choosing the wrong color can prove life threatening at times. If you choose a Sky Color Kayak and get into some trouble, the rescuers will have a hard time to spot you. Choose a contrasting color that can be spotted easily from far. You can also try fluorescent colors because these colors grab the attention of the onlookers easily.
3. What is the Purpose
You need to first figure out the how you are going to use this Kayak. Are you planning to use it on Stillwater or you are planning to use it on sea? It all boils down to the answer. If you are heading for an Ocean, you will have to choose an Ocean Sit-In Kayak; yes it is that simple. However, if you are planning to use it on some lakes or ponds, a recreational kayak will be more than enough for that purpose.
Storage is another vital aspect that should not be ignored. If the Sit-In Kayak is too small and has little or no room for storing your gears, maybe it is not a good idea to go for a day-long trip with a recreational Sit-In Kayak.
4. Your Skill Levels
If you are a pro kayaker, a slim and sleek Sit-In Kayak would serve your needs but if you are looking for more stability on open water, you should be looking for a heavier one. But remember one thing that large and heavy Kayaks are difficult to paddle and they are also difficult to transport. Keep all these factors in mind while making the final decision.

Homes plan for Ottery's Salston Manor hotel site are shelved
PUBLISHED: 17:05 11 September 2019 | UPDATED: 17:07 11 September 2019
Plans to build 19 new homes on the site of the former Salston Manor hotel site in Ottery have been shelved.
A full application was submitted for the Grade II listed building for the homes and extension works to create three extra flats.
The Herald reported earlier this year how the plans were criticised by Ottery Town Council for a lack of affordable housing included in the development.
At a planning committee meeting held in February, members agreed they did not have a problem with the conversion of the Grade II listed building, but stated their preference towards new homes being built instead.
The majority of the planning committee opted not to support the plans.
Developer Salston Manor Developments Ltd has permission from a previous application to create 27 apartments and retains the right to build them if the new proposal is refused.
The new alterative application included parking, a swimming pool, gymnasium and tennis court.

When selecting the right furniture to ensure that you have already identified the specific type of furniture your desire to obtain. This aids in narrowing down the choices which in turn eases the selection process. Whereas some individuals prefer to mix and match furniture others are contented with furniture that exhibits similar features. Having a budget is crucial since it will assist you in knowing the type of furniture that is within your reach financially. There are various designs as well as patterns when it comes to furniture. Ensure that you obtain unique designs that unravel your personality. Additionally, it is important to select furniture that will complement the other aspects of your house to bring a coordinated look. This will assist you in achieving alluring interior design for your house. Always consider other factors in your home for instance if you have smaller kids you may opt for furniture that does not elicit bright colors which can be easily stained considering that kids are always playing. Additionally, when you have many pets, you may refrain from selecting white silk upholstery.
Many service providers offer furniture service. Consider acquiring the furniture from a highly regarded brand that has earned the trust of many clients owing to quality products. Consider furniture with durable material that is not subject to easy damage. This will relieve you of constant repair costs. You must also bear in mind the number of people who are expected to use the furniture. For instance, if you have a large family, you will be required to acquire more furniture. Go for furniture that elicits modern designs to give your home a touch of style. You can view the comparison chart here!
Various furniture depicts different sizes, and it is critical to select furniture that will fit into your room without causing unnecessary congestion. For instance, if you have a relatively small room, you may decide to settle on a two-piece seat instead of a huge sofa. For larger rooms go for furniture that fills the space to avoid overwhelming blank spaces. Various furniture uses different places in the home. For instance, some furniture is meant for the living room whereas others are intended for the bedroom. You should always evaluate the comfort of the furniture before you obtain them. For instance, the seats should be able to offer comfort. When on the expedition to search for furniture for your home you can consider incorporating other family members to make the experience enjoyable and acquire more suggestions for their ideal furniture.

Men's fashion, especially along the sartorial end of the spectrum, has nobody to thank more than the likes of Napoleon Bonaparte himself for its formative roots. The Napoleonic Wars of 1803 to 1815 saw soldiers become outfitted in the latest, most elegant uniforms the opposing forces could muster – almost like they were battling to outdo each other in a war of style. The 19th century saw innovations in men's outfitting like never before – many European tailors perfected their techniques and styles whilst clothing the ranks of their national armies. Countless menswear staples can be traced back to their military roots: the 3 piece suit, the dress shoe, the overcoat, the trench coat; even the belt would not have existed if not for its birth as a way of displaying military accolades on an officer's uniform. These styles all trickled down into everyday men's fashions, as soldiers returning to civilian life wanted to retain aspects of their military uniforms in their clothing, as a way of clinging onto memories of former glory.
Moving on from Victorian times, military issued garments continued to find their way into the wardrobes of the everyday man. Popularised in the Brando-Dean era, the t-shirt took its first steps as an undergarment issued in the US Navy. When operating in humid countries, US troops wore light cotton trousers made in China, the country of manufacture becoming the eponym for what we know today as Chinos. The very extent of menswear classics that exist thanks to martial uniform would leave most men naked, had it not been for the excellent style of their armed forces. Bomber jackets, turtlenecks, woollen beanies, even jeans (arguably) all started off as functional garments created for military use. Recently, however, military uniform and gear worn by soldiers has become more and more functional rather than formal. Can we still look to the modern-day soldier for style guidance? Of course, fashion always finds a way.
So how does the stylish man of today imitate the armed forces? With almost no aspects of the formalwear left to borrow, brands are becoming less and less subtler with their military-inspired designs. Many runways over the past couple of decades have almost resembled boot camps as designers debuted tactical combat gear lookalikes in their collections. Nothing short of bullet-proof vests have been exhibited, first notably by Helmut Lang in the late 90s. The style recently saw a revival thanks to none other than Kanye West, who also released a ballistic vest as part of his first season at his own label, YEEZY. Mr West even produced a 'baby YEEZY' version of the designer combat gear, which was controversially seen on his then one-year-old daughter, North West.
Branching out from this 'Lang-aissance', as the trend has been labelled by Vouge's Steff Yotka, other fashion houses have taken their own spin on modern military gear. SS19 saw fashion powerhouses such as Louis Vuitton, Prada, and Dior debut tactical vests, harnesses and all sorts of chest-rigged bags.
However, no one is doing military-inspired menswear right now better than New York-based subversive fashion label ALYX. Brand founder and head designer Matthew Williams has shaken up the high fashion world by introducing utilitarian style to luxury couture, influencing industry leaders including the likes of Kim Jones and Virgil Alboh. The designer's recent collaboration with sportswear powerhouse Nike may be the epitome of warcore style; almost every piece comes in guerilla-esque camouflage, not to mention the straps, metal buckles and harnesses all over. Where else would a man wear a woodland camo balaclava other than in the jungles of Vietnam? On the ALYX catwalk, thanks to Mr Williams.
As this militarised trend picks up speed, we begin to wonder – where does one draw the line between progressive fashion statement and actual combat gear? Designers are always pushing the boundaries when innovating for future trends, but it's definitely possible to take things too far, as streetwear brand Anti Social Social Club did when they released a literal riot shield last year. What will we see in the future? A Colt x Supreme AR-15? This is definitely a trend to keep a close eye on – the possibilities are worryingly endless.
Belgian designer Diane von Furstenberg did once say that fashion 'is a reflection of our times', so if Vogue is correct in predicting that warcore is to become our new look du nos jours, I suppose we'd all better brace ourselves for a worldwide geopolitical meltdown. Hopefully, her quote was not to be taken literally.

A Windows 10 patch that is supposed to address Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities. BEWARE IF YOU HAVE AN AMD PROCESSOR
Windows has released a patch, January 3, 2018—KB4056892 (OS Build 16299.192), that is supposed to help address the Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities.. BUT some owners of AMD based machines are reporting crashes.
This thing is turning into a giant mess. The microsoft update January 3, 2018—KB4056892 (OS Build 16299.192) is supposed to patch the Meltdown/Spectre vulnerabilities. It doesn't say so directly but the following in the KB article seems to indicate that is one of the features of the update.
- Security updates to Windows SMB Server, the Windows Subsystem for Linux, Windows Kernel, Windows Datacenter Networking, Windows Graphics, Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer, and the Microsoft Scripting Engine.
Windows 10 supposedly does not give the user any choice in updates. I posted an previous article that mentioned that you could not opt out of Windows 10 updates
My original objection to Windows 10 was that the home version would force updates with no opt out option.
There are two potential issues with the updates:
- There may be a HUGE performance impact after the update is processed. 30% seems to be the common number. So, after you apply a patch from microsoft to address a major cluster___ from intel, your machine may be 1/3 slower. I'll have to see what happens.
- Some AMD users are reporting crashes.
According to a ZDnet article, KB4056892 is causing issues for AMD Athalon users.
Microsoft's Windows patch for the Meltdown and Spectre attack methods is reportedly causing problems for users with AMD Athlon CPUs.
According to a number of complaints on Microsoft's community forum, the problems are appearing on Athlon systems that received the update for the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, labelled KB4056892.
What seems to happen, according to the ZDNet article, is that the update installs, then fails, then reinstalls.
That scraping sound you are hearing is thousands of trial lawyers sharpening their daggers.
UPDATE Jan 9 2018 — It appears that the Windows 10 patch has been installed since Jan 3, 2018 and I am not noticing any performance hit as of now. See my related post.
See other posts from this blog regarding Meltdown
See other posts from this blog regarding Spectre
Note – until things settle down the Meltdown tag will give all related posts (as of Jan 2018)

Some of these platforms include Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or LinkedIn. If the nature of your service is Business to Business, Twitter and LinkedIn will prove more useful. For Business to Consumers set up, It is better to employ Instagram or Facebook for better results. If you don't have a social media expert on your team, it might be smartest to turn to a digital marketing agency.
The above tips will give you some clarity before you decide to get into the digital marketing arena. Digital marketing is a great platform if you are looking to fully exploit the online platforms to boost sales and increase revenue. Why not implement the tips above for greater results in your business?

LOS ANGELES • Pop star Madonna has quashed long-standing rumours that her former husband, actor Sean Penn, abused her during their four-year marriage.
Her statement, which was obtained and published by USA Today last Friday, had been submitted in an addendum to the US$10-million (S$14.1-million) defamation lawsuit he filed in September against Empire creator Lee Daniels, after Daniels compared him with actor Terrence Howard, who admitted to hitting his former wife.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter in September, Daniels had defended Howard, the star of his hip-hop television series, against reports of domestic troubles, saying the actor "ain't done nothing different than Marlon Brando or Sean Penn".
Madonna denied allegations that Penn had hit her with a baseball bat in 1987 and abused her in 1989, said USA Today. She called reports on the alleged incidents "completely outrageous, malicious, reckless and false".
"While we certainly had more than one heated argument during our marriage, Sean has never struck me, tied me up or physically assaulted me," she was quoted as saying.
Madonna, 57, and Penn, 55, have been friendly in the past year, decades after their divorce in 1989.
He attended several nights of her Rebel Heart Tour, including one at Madison Square Garden, said the Daily Mail.
She later said: "Thirty years earlier, he was upset with me for wearing a costume that was too revealing. That's not a lie. After the show, he wrote me a letter and said he finally appreciates my art."

Artist Notes: Spring Yellow On Blue
is about yellow tulips on a blue table cloth seen in the Spring. We were
visiting The Morven Museum and Gardens in Princeton, New Jersey, one April
day. As the group collected to hear the guide explain the works on display,
I caught sight of a table in an adjoining room covered with a navy blue
cloth, and on it were laid these marvelous tulips and lilacs. So I used
my camera to capture them, and rejoined the group. When it came time
to make a painting from my photos, I decided on this rather unusual
composition: a vertical painting without reference to up or down.
The painting is acrylic on canvas, with heavy duty stretchers, and painted sides. It was given as a gift.

Perception and Choice
When something goes haywire or not as you expected, how do you automatically respond? It is so easy to forget that we always have a choice and we've been given the incredible opportunity through our choices to remember who we really are. When something goes wrong for us, we can choose how we want to react to it. In her beautiful book, "The Magdalene Awakening", which is an account of her own spiritual journey, L. Shannon Anderson states "God created the beauty in the Universe. Man created the hell. The Devil is in the Ego. All we need to do is keep our eyes on the beauty God created, and breathe….and wait for the ugliness and pain to slip away from our perception".
Every unwanted situation is a gift. It is another opportunity to practice unconditional love. It is a chance to get it right. When our air conditioner broke down this week, right after we booked airfare to visit family for Christmas, we were devastated, financially and emotionally. Then, even though this was a financial blow, we decided to remember who we really were. We prayed. We asked for relief from the 900.00+ bill we were told to expect for the repairs. Then we let it go and didn't care after that what happened. As a manifestation coach, I knew that is what we had to do and that letting go is the key. We had to be ok if it didn't work out, AND visualize and "know" that it would.
Well, the repair man came and put in the expensive motor, and it didn't work. We had manifested the right person to come to our house to do the job, because he didn't give up. He explored the problem and found out it was due to a 240.00 part that he put in and now everything is running great! He even went above and beyond and fixed another issue for no charge we had been having with the system. Wow, we were elated! The original bill was down to a third of the original estimated cost! But most importantly, we had another confirmation of how powerful we really are as manifesters and that all we have to do is ask and receive.
If we had chosen to grumble and complain and get frustrated with the situation, I truly believe the outcome would not have been so optimal. We also would not have had the opportunity to practice the power of our own thoughts or experience the elation of gratitude when the evidence of Divine intervention showed up!
The next paragraph in L. Shannons book sums it all up beautifully, "So…is enlightenment and ascension as simple as that? A shift in our perception, a different way to see things, a remembering of who and what we really are? Yes, that's it. And is it true that all we have to do is ask? Yes it is. Ask and pray and wait as God, the Angels, our guides take us on an incredible journey to find ourselves".
What's bothering you these days? How are you choosing to perceive it? Might there be a gift waiting for you within the situation or a chance to remember who you truly are? Every single person who hurts you or every situation that challenges you is an opportunity to practice unconditional love for yourself and others, an opportunity to practice shifting your perception and a chance to know your true self.

On the 25th of May 2018 the UK will adopt GDPR which is the EU General Data Protection Regulation. This new piece of legislation is highly detailed and indicates the biggest change in laws relating to data protection over the past two decades. It makes significant improvements of the Data Protection Act of 1998 especially regarding customer data and will carry strict penalties for companies that aren't compliant. Fines are reported to be as high as 4% of annual global turnover or as much as £20 million.
Aside from making organisations more accountable for how they process customer data, it also affords individuals more rights in terms of controlling how their personal data is collected and processed. GDPR is long overdue, and the deadline for compliance cannot come soon enough. Especially given how many large data breaches have occurred recently across a wide variety of platforms, from banking databases through to social media, putting people at risk by exposing their personal data.
The basics of GDPR compliance
Because the regulation is so detailed, compliance is not as simple as ticking a few boxes. GDPR demands that companies are no longer flippant about customer data. They will need to demonstrate what policies and procedures are in place to ensure individuals rights are protected through transparency and accountability. This will also require a culture shift, ensuring that employees understand the responsibility they have in creating an environment where data privacy and security are prioritised.
If your organization has not already started putting compliance policies in place, then it's unlikely that you'll be able to get 100% compliant by 25 May. Don't panic, however, for the vast majority of companies compliance will be a long-term project that could even span years. What is important though is that you are able to identify current vulnerabilities and have policies in place to show how you're rectifying or addressing these matters. While it is not ideal, this will at least help in reducing penalties that may be incurred.
Will GDPR compliance be influenced by Brexit?
The governments Information Commissioners Office (ICO) has confirmed that the regulation will apply to the UK regardless of Brexit. This is partly because the regulation will come into effect long before the UK actually leaves the EU. Additionally, there is a new Data Protection Law being tabled that applies the GDPR regulation to UK Law. The bottom line is that Brexit cannot be cited as an excuse for non-compliance.
Additionally, companies need to understand that the GDPR is primarily about protecting personal data. This means that any company that engages with EU citizens in any way will be obligated to protect the data they collect and gain the individuals permission to have it in the first place.
Digital learning and getting GDPR compliant
GDPR operates on a number of principles such as transparency and accountability and it will therefore be important that all employees understand what these are and how they will impact the future of how they work. Because this is detailed and very specific information it is best taught in bite-sized chunks. It would be unrealistic to expect employees to sit through a GDPR workshop and then be able to remember and apply everything that was presented.
What is significant is that GDPR includes the protection of genetic and biometric data in addition to other kinds of personal data. So there is much more to take into consideration. The vast majority of organisations will likely need to invest in improving their data security if they are to be compliant. But how do you implement protection policies if employees don't understand how what and why the data needs to be protected?
Enter Errol Owl
Digital learning platforms such as Errol Owl (Ember Real Results Online Learning) can support GDPR learning by allowing employees to work through the principles of the regulation at their own pace. While the default with Errol is that learners will get a daily email with learning information and questions to test their knowledge, organisations can decide on how many questions learners get and how often.
Additionally, the way Errol structures the learning process also supports learning retention because information is presented in a way that is easier to remember. Testing knowledge by asking questions further embeds learning. This helps to improve the transfer of knowledge and encourages employees to apply the learning daily in the workplace.
Where the incorrect answer is chosen Errol can link to your Learning Management System or knowledge base to drive traffic to the right resources.
Digital learning can go a long way to creating the culture shift necessary to accommodate GDPR. Since a lot of data is stored electronically it helps to teach the principles of GDPR electronically too! More importantly, it is quick and easy to implement and eases the burden of at least one aspect of GDPR compliance. Once employees understand the principles and scope of the regulation they will be better equipped to help the organisation identify potential risks and start to put policies in place that can help the organisation become compliant.

Modeling and texturing realistic 3d models can be very time consuming and painful task, but is needed for VFX, digital preservation, etc. Photogrammetry can cut down on the time needed to create these models/scenes drastically and put that power in the hands of anyone with a digital camera. (overview on slide 2)
Basically, an individual takes a series of photos of the object/scene they want to recreate in 3D. The photos should overlap each other and have balanced lighting (no flash). Then the computer magic happens as photos are compared to each other. If a common pixel is found in multiple photos it is triangulated and stored. (similar to "Structure from Motion" algorithms) With enough of these stored points you get a fairly dense point cloud of data that represents your scene. A poor-man's LIDAR scanner. With Autodesk Photofly they took this one step further and converted the points into a triangle mesh with textures. The crazy thing is that they do a good job at this very difficult task.
This entire process is called Photogrammetry and is something I've been interested in for a looong time. It's often used in special effects to capture a scene or object for digital artists to build off of. Fight Club used this technique heavily to get some amazing camera shots. It is also used heavily in forensics to capture a crime scene. What interests me the most with this technology is how it is finally maturing and becoming accessible to the masses. Soon people will be putting 3d models of their dogs, cats, kids on coffee mugs or other novelty items (not necessarily a good thing). Sadly, people will eventually use this to make bootleg copies of real objects too.
At the UM3D Lab we are focusing on its use for digitally preserving the thousands of crumbling artifacts as well as a starting point for content creation in virtual environments. Personally, I am also interested in this for the "personalization" of products and visual effects work.
