This is my first trial to correct the problem of not having automatic leveling. I tried to make it tough, but still not enough for a very precise leveling. It works, but I was dreaming I would be able to keep the calibration even after removing the bed because I had the extra nuts (the thin ones) to lock it...
Another side effect is the shrunk printing area. With the new adaptors I had to setup Cura with 150mm instead of the original 180mm (but I really don't think this printer would be capable of printing something close to 180mm of diameter).
Hint: if your printer is not very precise, scale up the nuts inside Cura (or Slic3r) before generating the g-code. I suggest scaling only X and Y dimensions by 101% (or scale factor 1.01).
How to assemble it
The Nut_counter is the first nut (from bottom to top). If you look at the first photograph, you may see it. It is supposed to lock the big, tough, nut.
1) Attach the Base to your printer (you should center it in relation to each triangle vertice).
2) Add the Nut_counter and put it all the way down to free the way.
3) Add the Nut.
4) Add your printer bed.
5) Add the Nut_small_new.
6) Level the bed using the Nut and the Nut_small_new.
7) Use the Nut_counter to lock the Nut.
8) Print the AnycubicTestRing140 to verify if it's working. I also paused the printer to correct the bed level during the very first layers.
Be careful, depending on your setup for brim/skirt, your printer may hit the bed levelers when printing the AnycubicTestRing140 test file. I've changed my Machine settings to a bed with diameter of 150mm to avoid surprises.
This bed leveler is not a very good solution because it's quite hard to get the leveling right and if you remove the bed plate you will need to redo it. In the future, I will design something better that allows me to attach an extra removable bed plate or, even better, remove the one I have without ruining the leveling.
Here I'm explaining how I did it:

Islami Andolon Bangladesh is set to stage demonstration in the capital on Tuesday protesting at French president Emmanuel Macron’s criticism of Islam.
Macron last week defended French satire magazine Charlie Hebdo’s right to publish cartoons of Prophet Hazrat Muhammad.
Macron spoke out after a Chechen extremist beheaded a French teacher near Paris after he had shown cartoons of the Prophet Hazrat Muhammad during a class he was leading on free speech.
Shahidul Islam Kabir, a joint secretary of Islami Shramik Andolon of Islami Andolan Bangladesh, said they would march towards French embassy under the leadership of IAB chief Mufti Syed Muhammad Rezaul Karim following a protest to be held at the north gate of the national mosque Baitul Mukarram at 10:30am.
The party already circulated poster inviting people to join their protest programme against French embassy in Dhaka.
Gulshan police station officer-in-charge Abul Hasan said that they were already instructed by the authorities to ensure security of the diplomatic area.
Meanwhile, Nezami Islami Party in a statement on Monday that also called for boycotting French products.

Arlene Blencowe didn't take the usual route to the top of the fight game.
Right now, she's preparing to fight MMA legend Cris Cyborg for the Bellator featherweight world title, and with COVID disrupting everything this year, it's remarkable the event is happening at all.
But it's not as remarkable as the road the 37-year-old took to get there.
Growing up, Blencowe wanted to play footy. But girls didn't play back then. She's always liked fighting too. But girls didn't do that either.
Eventually she found boxing, had her first professional fight at the age of 26 and became a world champion in her third bout. Lacking serious competition in Australia, she started doing some MMA training and made her debut at 30.
Now, seven years on, a title shot.
That's the condensed version anyway. There's many more ups and downs, twists and turns in the full story.
“If I could’ve when I was younger, I would’ve played tackle footy,” she tells Sporting News.
“That’s why the girls these days are so lucky. There’s no divide in sport. There’s not a male sport, there’s not a female sport.
“Girls are welcome on the mats, in the ring or the footy field, but when I was younger, there was still such a divide.”
Through fighting - which wasn't an option for her as a youngster - Blencowe has found her true purpose in life.
Over the past decade, she's become the role model for her kids that she never had.
"Life…it’s one of the biggest things with raising my two kids, just looking back at my mistakes and areas where I could’ve had someone to aspire to,” she says.
“I’ve given my kids those role models and hopefully can lead them into doing great things in their lives.
“I didn’t have that and it kind’ve led me down the wrong path at times.”
It's not just her own kids Blencowe is inspiring, either.
“I’m doing some mentoring and talking to youth who might just need some direction as well,” she says.
“Not all the kids are ‘troubled’ but they may just need some direction. I do training sessions and mentoring at the juvenile correctional centre as well.
“Through my passion, I’ve found my purpose.
“Whether I can help change peoples' lives, even just teaching them one positive thing that could help lead them down the right direction or change the path they’re going on.”
On Friday (Australian time), Blencowe will attempt to become the first female Australian MMA champion when she steps into the cage with Cyborg.
It's a huge task, but one she's been preparing for for years.
“She’s been number one, she’s been at the top of the game my whole career,” she says.
“But as a fighter you should always want to fight the best and I’ve been eyeing her off and hoping this opportunity eventuates.
“There were a few things with COVID, but we knew it would happen and we’ve just been preparing for it.”
It will be Blencowe’s second shot at the Bellator title after dropping a controversial decision to Julia Budd in August 2017.
The split decision defeat was met with boos at the arena on fight night and outrage on social media, but Blencowe says she’s been able to take valuable lessons from the experience.
“I learned a lot about myself from that world title loss to Julia,” she says.
“It was a bit controversial and with it being a five round fight, I should have done a bit more in there to make it clear in the judges’ minds.
“I went through a lot mentally after that.
“But, I’ve worked my way back up to the title shot and in the process I’ve worked on everything in and around training and mental preparation as well.”


Senior citizens out on a morning walk in Jamshedpur on Sunday. Picture by Bhola Prasad
Jamshedpur, Dec. 2: Brace for some bone-numbing chill as the weatherman has predicted a Celsius slide in the next 48 hours.
Officials at the Patna Meteorological Office today said most parts of the state including capital Ranchi, Jamshedpur and Daltonganj were already shivering in temperatures three degrees below normal.
“The drop in the minimum temperature was brought about by the combined impact of dry weather conditions and the active flow of cool northerly wind. The northerly flow will gather momentum over the next 48 hours resulting in a drop in minimum readings in Jharkhand by two to three degrees,” said A.K. Sen, director of the Patna Met office.
The senior official said the chill in the air would be present through the day due to a fall in both maximum and minimum temperatures. The average maximum temperature around the state at present is between 23°C and 27°C. This would fall further over the next two days.
Similarly, the average night reading across the state, which right now is between 10 and 13°C, will also fall due to a favourable wind pattern and dry weather conditions.
The minimum temperature in Ranchi on Sunday was 10°C, three notches below normal, making it the coldest day of the season so far. On November 28, Ranchi had recorded 10.4°C.
Heat chamber Daltonganj also shivered at 10.6°C, the season’s second lowest minimum reading. On November 28, the local observatory had recorded a biting 10.3°C.
Night readings also plummeted in Bokaro, Dhanbad, Hazaribagh, Simdega, Seraikela-Kharsawan and West Singhbhum in the last 24 hours.
Steel hub Bokaro and coal capital Dhanbad today recorded minimums of 10.7°C and 10.4°C respectively. Today’s minimum reading at Dhanbad was the season’s lowest. The maximum temperature also witnessed a fall of one degree at both places, with day temperatures hovering between 22 and 23°C in the coal belt.
A duty officer at the Regional Meteorological Centre at Alipore in Calcutta said weather in Jharkhand would remain dry with clear sky in the next 48 hours. “The night temperature will witness a downward trend,” he confirmed.
Statistics revealed that this year, November was comparatively cooler than the last two years. “Minimum temperature usually witnesses a fall below 12°C around the first week of December. But this year, at several places across Jharkhand, minimum temperatures went below 11°C in the last week of November,” said a weather analyst at the Patna Meteorological Office.

What does it mean to be an American?
A 7-year-old at a local school says it is "a chance to learn, grow up, and be a teacher - to be what I want to be;" a small business owner describes it as "the power to make the government do what I want;" and an elementary-school youngster whose father is in the U.S. Army defines it as "saying the Pledge of Allegiance."
These definitions of what it means to be an American were among those found by members of a Service-Learning class at Tusculum College when they posed to the question to elementary school students through adults.
In addition to providing volunteer service at three elementary schools, the Tusculum students visited children in the primary grades, asking them to draw a picture of what being an American meant to them. Camp Creek and Mosheim elementary schools in Greene County and Hillcrest Elementary School in Morristown were visited by students in the class taught by Dr. Bonnie Winfield, assistant professor of sociology at Tusculum.
Collecting the drawings, the Tusculum students faced the challenge of how to transfer a formidable stack of colorful pictures into a single illustration.
What followed was a careful process of redrawing what the children had made onto a single mural. The students replicated some part of each child's drawing for the mural, creating a montage of images of such things as families, flags, churches, and nature.
School children were not the only people asked to share their definition of what it means to be an American. Members of the class visited such places as the Johnson City Senior Center and Greene Valley Developmental Center as well as doing "person on the street" interviews.
The answers they were given, along with some from the school children, were used to create a play. Each student in the class took on the persona of someone who was interviewed and shared that person's definition of what it means to be an American.
Members of a Service-Learning class at Tusculum College, at left, present a mural to students at Camp Creek Elementary School in Greene County featuring their depictions of "what it means to be an American." At right, members of the class redraw pictures by students at Hillcrest Elementary School in Morristown to create the mural.
Some of the answers they received included sharing the same rights as everyone else, "standing up and fighting for what you believe in," "feeling safe," and "believing in God,
family, and friends and giving thanks to the soldiers that protect our freedom."
The students presented their murals earlier this week to the students at each of the schools, following a performance of the play.
The class members also traveled to the Johnson City Senior Center to present the play and to decorate the center for Christmas.

It's the biggest primary day of the year -- ten states, plus runoffs in Arkansas (Senate) and Georgia (House). And while there will be different themes developing throughout the country, here's what you should be keeping your eye on:
Women: Republican women are favored to win primaries for the Senate and governor in California. Both are wealthy, mostly self-financed businesswomen who are making their first foray as candidates -- part of the "anti-establishment/anti-Washington" theme we've been watching this year. A woman may well emerge as the GOP nominee for the Senate in Nevada, and a woman is leading the pack in the Republican primary for governor of South Carolina. In addition, Democratic women lead in the primaries for the Senate in Iowa and the governorship in Maine.
An exception to this "Day of the Woman" motif may come in the Democratic Senate runoff in Arkansas. This also fits in with the anti-establishment theme mentioned above.
Tea Party: They scored a huge victory last month with Rand Paul's win in the Kentucky GOP Senate primary, and they're looking for more gains tonight, especially in the Nevada Senate race.
Memory Lane: Terry Branstad, an Iowa Republican who served four terms as governor (1983-98), is seeking a comeback. In California, Jerry Brown -- who was twice elected governor in the 1970s and who is the current state attorney general -- is all but assured of the Democratic nomination for his old job. Change we believe in?
Here are the poll closing times (all times Eastern):
7 p.m.: Georgia, South Carolina, Virginia
8 p.m.: Maine, New Jersey
8:30 p.m.: Arkansas
9 p.m.: North Dakota, South Dakota
10 p.m.: Iowa, Montana, Nevada
11 p.m.: California
There's also that 7 p.m. debut for Stephen Strasburg at Nationals Park. I suspect that might attract more interest, certainly in Washington, than some of the primaries listed above.

A new information hiding technique in a still image is discussed in this paper. This technique is based on chaotic sequence in the transform domain of covert image. Multiple sensitive images are added to the same covert image as a form of minor noise. The results of theoretical analysis and computer simulation show the new hiding technique has better properties with high security, imperceptibility and capacity for hidden information in comparison with LSB. The image steganography can meet an increasing demand for effective and cheap digital security scheme for the Internet.

Mention of the British East India Company brings to mind visions of imperialism, exploitation and oppression of colonial peoples in Asia, and India as the “jewel in the British crown”. The Company was all that and more.
In her first book A Business of State, Auburn history professor Rupali Mishra details the founding of the Company in 1600 and its formative years in the early 17th century. The book explores what Mishra rightly characterizes as “the very complicated relationship between the East India Company and the state” in the thirty-five years after Elizabeth I granted its founders a letter patent giving the Company “exclusive” rights over trade in the East Indies.
As Mishra notes, the Company’s founding coincided with England’s enhanced geopolitical position after its recent defeat of the Spanish Armada and its trade rivalry with the Spanish, Dutch and Portuguese. “The granting of the East India Company patent,” she writes, “thus reflected not only mercantile interests but also other geopolitical requirements of the state.”
The Company was composed of merchants, aristocrats, members of the gentry, and some government officials. Company leaders understood the value of state sponsorship and were “eager to tie [government and court officials] to the interests of the East Indies trade.” Beginning in 1603, the Stuart dynasty ruled England; Mishra’s work encompasses the reigns of James I and Charles I. The leaders of the Company constantly interacted with the monarchy, the Privy Council and Parliament.
“East Indies commercial ventures,” Mishra explains, “were deeply enmeshed with the regime.” Empire and trade developed together. Eventually, the East India Company acted as the British state with its own army and diplomats. But that happened much later.
Mishra describes the governing bodies of the Company and the rise of factual disputes among its leaders. She also notes the Stuarts’ penchant for sponsoring rival trade companies and subordinating Company interests to the interests of the crown. “[T]he relationship between the Company and crown,” Mishra notes, could be mutually beneficial or coercive “with either side capable (at times) of coercing the other.”
The Company traded with the Mughal Empire and Persia, especially after a combined Company-British-Persian force seized the island of Hormuz from the Portuguese in 1622. The seizure of Hormuz also increased growing strains in Anglo-Dutch relations. Less than a year later, ten Company employees were tried and executed at the direction of the governor of the Dutch East India Company on charges of conspiring against Dutch rule with Japanese mercenaries at Amboyna in the Moluccas (present day Indonesia). The British East India Company’s leaders cried out for reprisals against the Dutch, but with much of Europe at war (the Thirty Years War) neither James I (who sought neutrality) nor Charles I (who sought an alliance with the Dutch) supported them. Geopolitics trumped economics and justice.
In the 1630s, Charles I attempted to gain control of the Company. Mishra describes Charles’s “concerted campaign to weaken the Company,” which included licensing rivals to challenge the Company in the East Indies. He granted the Earl of Denbigh license to trade with the Mughal Empire and Persia. Charles also licensed Sir William Courten and his partners to venture to the Cape of Good Hope, Mozambique, the Persian Gulf, Sumatra, Java, the Philippines, Goa, the Chinese coast and Japan to develop trade. In the end, the crown’s power was greater than the Company’s.
Mishra’s book, as advertised, fills a gap in the history of the East India Company’s early years. The book would have benefited, however, from a more extensive geopolitical and historical context of the early 17th century and a summary of what the East India Company became—a tool of British expansion and colonial rule. She appears to have assumed that her readers know that context and history. Perhaps in a future edition or paperback edition of the book she will remedy that unwarranted assumption.

Javan Rhino Observation Tour is a special interest tour package is organized by Ujung Kulon Eco-Tour and supported by Ujung Kulon National Park . Rhinoceros Sondaicus or Javan Rhino is the rarest mammal on earth, and this species has been classified as Critically endangered by IUCN.
- During May to August 2024 this special tour package is fully booked
- We have adjusted the itinerary for this tour package due to the temporary closure of the tourist route on the Ujung Kulon peninsula.
There are only around 75 Javan Rhinoceros left, and there are none in zoos or captive facilities, therefore the only possible means to observe Javan rhinoceros is through direct observation in the natural habitat.
This particular Javan Rhino Observation Tour heads to the far western tip of Java, Indonesia and the forested park of Ujung Kulon. This is the last home of the critically endangered Javan Rhino, which is the rarest large mammal anywhere in the world.
The park is very dense and we will hike from the entrance to a little known river deep inside the park. The Javan Rhinos are mostly seen in this river and so most of the wildlife activities will be canoeing silently up and down this river in the early morning and late evening. We head into the park with a team of porters and spend the entire time camping in the forest.
Throughout the trip you will be guided by local park rangers and a zoologist guide (where available), and people with an intimate knowledge of the wildlife and habitats you will be visiting.
This is a ground breaking tour that is unique in the world, we have negotiated special rates for the scientific permits that are needed to access the core area of the forest.
For anyone who wants a chance of seeing this incredibly rare species you have to get in touch with us and we can provide more information about our Javan Rhino Observation tour.
Day 1: Jakarta – Marina Carita – Cigenter Savannah (B,L,D)
You will be picked up at 5 am at hotel where you stay in Jakarta, then we drive to the coastal town of Carita by a private vehicle, arrival at Carita, then breakfast and coffee break will be served at the local restaurant.
After breakfast, we cruise to Cigenter River by speed boat where you will set up camp at the savannah near the river. As arrive at Cigenter, our team are to set up the camping equipment.
In the afternoon around 4 PM, we focus to Javan Rhino where we will do canoeing trips up the Cigenter River are somewhat affected by tides and trees across the river. If conditions are right the canoes can travel deep into the forest.
Days 2-9: Javan Rhino Observation at Cigenter River (B,L,D)
For the next 8 full days we will explore the forest as we search for the Javan rhinos, we will rise early each morning as we aim to find a rhino as they use the river to bath and browse on the semi aquatic vegetation. In the past this has been one of the most fruitful ways to find and see the rhino.
So by using a couple of canoes we will silently paddle up and down stretches of the Cigenter River for a while in the hope that we see one.
We will come back to the camp for breakfast and then plan the next course of action, we will probably look to cruise the rivers at dawn and dusk and also have the opportunity to set up hides overlooking some of the wallows that the rhinos like to use.
This is an option for anyone wishing to do this and of course we can hike around and try and find fresh evidence of the rhinos as they move through the forest.
As mentioned this is just an overview of what is possible and the exact day by day plan will change and be discussed and dictated by the rhino’s movements.
Alongside the rhinos there are many other species in the park, like all tropical forests there are many species of birds, reptiles and amphibians.
Mammal wise there are Javan gibbons and ebony lutungs (both endemic to Java) in the trees, various squirrels around, Javan small-toothed palm civets, bantengs and even leopards in the park.
However the leopards have a near mythical status here and the rhinos are seen a lot more often. It is also worth keeping an eye out in the rivers and sea as there are salt-water crocodiles here and so be careful when near the river banks and keep your hands and feet inside the canoe at all times.
We will return to the camp for our meals and of course our tents for each night. We estimate that hiking per day will be around 2-3 hours, however some days maybe longer (~6 hours) and others much shorter.
At the 9th day, our boat is to bring you to Cidaon Savannah near Peucang Island for wildlife watching (All of your meals will be prepared and eaten at the camp in between our excursions into the forest.)
Day 10 : Cidaon – Peucang Island – Carita – Jakarta Hotel (B,L)
Whilst the expedition officially ends today when we reach Jakarta and people can book their return flights home for the evening on this day, we recommend that people do not and instead book their return flights home for tomorrow.
This is because of any possible delays we can suffer in having to use the wooden boat and a vehicle for 1 and 5 hours respectively. Of course if you book your flights for today you will be taken to the airport after we reach Jakarta and if you book your flights for the next day, we will take you to the hotel you have booked for yourself.
Please note that the itinerary stated above is correct as our planned intentions for the tour. However adverse weather conditions and other local considerations can necessitate some modifications of the itinerary during the course of the tour; any changes will be made to make the best of the time and weather conditions available to us.
This tour is available on different date (subject to availability) please contact us for more details about running this tour on a date which suits you more.

Dogs will do just about anything to make sure their companions are ok, and when one Brazilian stray dog’s best friend was being whisked away in an ambulance, he refused to let him go alone.
This past week, EMS workers from Brazil received a call about a homeless man that was dangerously sick from a respiratory problem, and when they arrived they found the man being guarded by his dog, Marrom. It was clear the man needed to go to the hospital, but when they started loading him in the vehicle, Marrom hopped in and refused to leave.
The workers were stunned at the dog’s loyalty and watched at Marrom sat carefully on the man for the entire ride to Hospital Humanitária. And when they arrived at the emergency room, Marrom was desperate to stay by his companion’s side and fought to enter the hospital.
The nurses and doctors were touched by his loyalty, but couldn’t let him inside because of other patients. However, once he calmed down and curled up in front of the door to wait, the staff would make frequent visits to give him food, water, and affection. And to make sure no one harassed him or tried to make him leave, the staff even put up a sign that read ‘Please, do not mistreat this animal, because he belongs to patient.’
For the next 32 hours, Marrom waited patiently outside until a local rescue group, APLA, stopped by to give him some much-needed care since he was covered in ticks and fleas. Now, Marrom is being safely watched by the rescue group until his human is released from the hospital to a shelter that they organized to take the loyal pair in.
Can you believe how long this dog waited to make sure his best friend was safe? Let us know what you think in the comments below and please SHARE this with friends on Facebook.

What’s Driving Mortgage Rates Today?
Poor economic news is piling up this week, and mortgage rates are benefitting.
Freddie Mac reported the first sub-4% rate of the year in its weekly survey today. The average 30-year fixed rate — according to a 125-lender survey — hit 3.97%. This is the lowest reported rate since mid-November.
Thus far into 2017, the economy seemed to be on a real tear. The stock market was rallying and economic indicators were positive. This week, a report was released showing new home construction has stalled, at least momentarily.
Homebuilder confidence dropped, too.
Mix in global conflict, and it’s a recipe for low rates — at least momentarily. It could be the perfect time to lock in a rate.Verify your new rate (Jul 16th, 2020)
Mortgage Rates Today
Mid-day, we have an update. Stocks are up, CNNMoney’s Fear & Greed index is showing more investor confidence, and 10-Year yields have risen five basis points. if you didn’t lock this morning, mortggage pricing may be worse this afternoon.
(As of 1:25 PM EDT)
The anticipated Existing Home Sales report will be released Friday. Sales have been surprisingly resilient despite rising rates, higher prices, and fierce competition among buyers.
This report will offer further insight into the housing market. After lackluster reports this month, the data will provide additional insight into the health of housing, and therefore the economy.
Since housing drives at least 15% of the economy, analysts look to housing-related reports as a harbinger of things to come.
With very strong data, mortgage rates could again rise.
Rate Lock Recommendation
Mortgage rates have just dropped. It could be a good time to lock in a rate if you’re looking to do so in coming weeks. Otherwise, there is some room for improvement long-term.
Verify your new rate (Jul 16th, 2020)
What Causes Rates To Rise And Fall?
Mortgage interest rates depend on a great deal on the expectations of investors. Good economic news tends to be bad for interest rates, because an active economy raises concerns about inflation. Inflation causes fixed-income investments like bonds to lose value, and that causes their yields (another way of saying interest rates) to increase.
For example, suppose that two years ago, you bought a $1,000 bond paying five percent interest ($50) each year. (This is called its “coupon rate.”) That’s a pretty good rate today, so lots of investors want to buy it from you. You sell your $1,000 bond for $1,200.
When Rates Fall
The buyer gets the same $50 a year in interest that you were getting. However, because he paid more for the bond, his interest rate is not five percent.
- Your interest rate: $50 annual interest / $1,000 = 5.0%
- Your buyer’s interest rate: $50 annual interest / $1,200 = 4.2%
The buyer gets an interest rate, or yield, of only 4.2 percent. And that’s why, when demand for bonds increases and bond prices go up, interest rates go down.
When Rates Rise
However, when the economy heats up, the potential for inflation makes bonds less appealing. With fewer people wanting to buy bonds, their prices decrease, and then interest rates go up.
Imagine that you have your $1,000 bond, but you can’t sell it for $1,000, because unemployment has dropped and stock prices are soaring. You end up getting $700. The buyer gets the same $50 a year in interest, but the yield looks like this:
- $50 annual interest / $700 = 7.1% The buyer’s interest rate is now slightly more than seven percent.

Our Half Hearts
i was half a heart
and so he
i observed his piece as he observed mine
they actually look like they might fit
by the looks of him we both had nothing to lose
so we might as well try
i held my piece out
he took it with what was almost glee
they really do
he took my hand
and we started running
together with full hearts that beat as one


Did you enjoy this video? Want to know some practical tips in choosing video production equipment? Click this link for more information.
Video Transcript: So there is lots of equipment out there. I mean there is lots of equipment. Just like the world these days is all about choice, there are heaps of different levels of video cameras and audio equipment and things like that to use. The most important thing is really to be honest with yourself and ask yourself what do you actually need? For the kind of productions I do, I need a prosumer, like a higher end camera, those are the things I need because that’s what my clients need and that’s the kind of thing I need to do.
If you’re doing things where you’re doing Dave’s style where he’s constantly giving out information about his products and services and things like that, you might not need this because this takes a bit of time to set up. It takes time to capture, it’s not as fast turn around in terms of a workflow. Wherever you’re at and what the type of thing you’re looking to do with video will dictate the type of equipment that you need. Grow with it, add it as you evolve and as your tastes and desires and audience expectations change, get the video production equipment to match that.
Avoid technology paranoia. What I mean by that is, and everyone I guarantee goes through this in whatever thing you’re into, it’s like, I don’t think I’ll get that because there’s that new one coming out soon. There’s the new iPhone coming out and it’s got this and it’s got that. There’s a new camera coming out and it’s got better audio and it’s got a better image and all that kind of thing. That’s always going to happen. It’s the same with computers, everything gets superseded. So jump in, start using the equipment that you have now, become an expert with that and then when the next thing comes out, you’ll be ready for it.
Finally, don’t blame it on the video production equipment. It’s always about the story, guys, it’s the content. That first video I showed you, one of the first ones Dave ever did, 36,000 views. That was shot on a computer screen, it’s not the most amazing video but the content in it is fantastic. It’s a good story. Equipment is great but content is the king.
So what do you really need? Now I’m just going to quickly run through these. These days you can shoot a video on an iPhone. I was discussing with Stu, he’s our superman at the end of the room there, about the iPhone 4, the video and the iPhone 4 is HD now. You can edit in the camera, it can be a very effective thing to use, if that’s the kind of thing you need. Just say you’re at a conference or something and you want to do a quick interview with someone or you’re walking around and you’re, here I am or whatever, unboxing a product or something like that.
David: Did any one see, I posted something on YouTube the other day, what I eat for breakfast? I eat pieces of rubbish for breakfast. You should watch that video, it’s pretty funny, but I recorded that on my iPhone. It wasn’t an iPhone4 it was an iPhone 3. So if you want to see what I eat for breakfast, watch it.
Ben: Yes, Will it Blend, that’s going to be Dave’s next thing. Now there are these other thing. Has anyone heard of these, Flip cameras, the Kodak Zi8? They’re really small HD cameras that are really good, they give a really good image. They have some more automatic functions, you can’t change white balance and things like that. Again, those are more sophisticated things but you can get a whole lot of great content out of these small cameras.
The advantage of something like this one, this is different, this is a Creative, they have an external mike jack, so you can put a different microphone in, such as this one here. The Flips now, I’ve just found out, the new ones have a different bottom so you can put in a USB microphone and get a better quality audio. I’ll go into audio in a second, I’m a real stickler about audio.
These ones, the disadvantage of these video production equipment, when you’re holding them, we’re not all surgeons. People’s hands shake, it’s hard to keep a steady image. Most of them have a little spot for a little tripod. If you’re doing something where you’re presenting something to camera, it’s good to put it on a tripod, or even walking around, preferably something that is a bit steady. Unless you’re going for that thing of, here I am walking down the street and wow, look at that, wow, there’s the Eiffel Tower. Again, it’s that context, what you need for the actual job. These are only $200, these are really good things, you’ll get a great bit of vision out of those.
Question: They’ve got exceptional low light performance relative to their price. So they work in almost all situations. They’re very good outside but they’re also good in a low light room.
Ben: Yes, they are. They’re also improving all the time. They have auto white balance. The zoom function on them isn’t fantastic if you need to be zooming in and out, but think about what you need.
Handycam, hands up, most people have a Handycam these days. These are amazing these days. They’re HD, they’re usually on a hard drive. I don’t think Dave’s ever deleted anything. He’s got a sixty Gig hard drive and it’s just like videos and videos.
Dave: You never know when you’re going to make a movie about you, so it’s good to keep all the footage.
Ben: These days they’re well priced, they’re always coming down in price and improving in their quality. It seems that video image has been evolving faster than the audio in most cameras. So the inbuilt mikes on these things aren’t great, so what you want to use, and I’ll talk about audio more, but an external microphone of any kind, whether it plugs in or it’s something like this which I’ll talk about in a sec. These are very effective, they’re a bit more stable because they’re a bit heavier, they fit on those tripods and they’re a really effective thing to use as well. They’re good in low light as well, most of them are.
With just the right investment, these tips on choosing video production equipment will greatly improve the quality of your small business videos. Want to get additional help in producing top notch videos for your business? Contact us today.

Sweating is Healthy and Detoxifying!
Antiperspirants and deodorants are not the same thing. Antiperspirants work by clogging, closing, and blocking the pores with powerful astringents such as aluminum salts so that they can’t release sweat. (Note that aluminum can accumulate in the brain.) Sweating is a natural cooling and detoxifying process. Deodorants work by neutralizing the smell of the sweat and by antiseptic action against bacteria.

A man pleaded guilty Wednesday to the Grinch-style thefts of Christmas gifts from St. Paul homes.
Pedro Flores, 44, of St. Paul was arrested Dec. 22 after residents in Summit Hill, Macalester-Groveland and other neighborhoods reported that deliveries were missing from their front porches.
Police conducted surveillance on Flores and saw him go in and out of his house with “numerous boxes.”
Among items stolen were 12 deluxe bathrobes, a box of ornaments and a cooler of Omaha Steaks, according to the criminal complaint.
Flores is to be sentenced March 16.

The U.S. Navy and Walter Reed National Military Medical Center hope a newly created healing garden will soothe the bodies and minds of wounded warriors.
It’s estimated that 12 percent of all veterans live with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), according to the VA of San Diego.
Retired U.S. Navy neurologist Dr. Fred Foote has been working on the design and construction the Green Road Project in the hopes of helping those living with PTSD.
Foote has been influential in introducing holistic medicine into the military. For the past 6 years, he’s been spearheading the creation of a serene space – tucked into the wilderness behind the naval facility.
Crews transformed two acres into a healing garden – a therapy that’s the first of its kind within the U.S. military.
On Monday, there will be an official opening.
“There’s a tremendous amount of evidence recently that making art and music, and being in nature is tremendously healing for traumatized people, especially for people with post traumatic stress disorder,” Dr. Fred Foote with the Institute for Integrative Health.
Researchers will study the effects of the Green Road Project on wounded warriors, testing for markets of stress before and after experiences in the healing garden.
If it’s a success, Foote said it could be a game changer.
"Any community can heal their local vets with PTSD by creating art and music lessons for them or by involving them in a veterans’ garden," Foote said.
Nearly 20,000 veterans have received care for PTSD in San Diego since 2010. The VA San Diego offers treatment ranging from counseling and couples therapy to programs offering help with anger and nightmares.

It cost $11 for an adult. There are activities that all ages can enjoy and learn from. The people working there circulated around and were very outgoing and knowledgeable. The museum is built in the shell of a flour mill that burned in 1996 and there is still original machinery and walls integrated in the museum. The elevator was interesting and the view at the top was worth seeing - don't go on this part if you are scared of heights. A nice part is that the tower tour is accessible to people in wheelchairs - good on them to think of it.
Well worth going there once. It gives a good appreciation of why Minneapolis exists and why it exists where it does. I learned quite a bit of information by going here.

Nicola Sturgeon has accused Boris Johnson of telling an “absolute whopper” about the cost of remaining in the European Union during a fiery televised debate.
The First Minister claimed it was a “scandal” that the Leave campaign claimed EU membership cost the UK £350 million a week as she made the case for staying in the EU.
Appearing on the two hour ITV Referendum Debate, Ms Sturgeon suggested the former London Mayor was campaigning for Brexit to fulfil his ambition to become Prime Minister.
But two weeks out from the June 23 referendum, Ms Sturgeon also found herself under attack from Leave campaigners who accused her of failing to respect the result of the Scottish independence vote.
Ms Sturgeon’s opponents also taunted her over her previous criticisms of the Remain campaign.
The six strong panel pitted Tory against Tory, emphasising the deep divisions in David Cameron’s party. On the Remain side the First Minister joined by Labour’s Angela Eagle and the Conservative Amber Rudd.
While Mr Johnson led the charge for Leave along with his fellow Conservative Andrea Leadsom and Labour’s Gisela Stuart.
Ms Sturgeon took on Leave’s claim that quitting the EU would free up £350 million per week for the NHS – a hotly disputed figure, because it fails to take account of money sent to back to the UK from Brussels.
“I am staggered that Boris Johnson is standing here tonight still defending this £350 million a week figure,” Ms Sturgeon said. “It is a scandal that is still emblazoned across the campaign bus, because it is an absolute whopper.
“The contribution to the EU that each of us makes every week is less than a pound. But what do we get for that money? We get freedom of travel. We get a single market of 500 million people. We get the chance to co-operate to keep ourselves safer. These are the gains.”
Ms Rudd added she intended to “repaint that bus with a leprechaun on one end and a big rainbow and pot of gold.”
Mr Johnson hit back saying Ms Sturgeon was “keener to be ruled by Brussels than Westminster politicians.”
While Ms Leadsom attacked Ms Sturgeon for her suggestions that Brexit could lead to a second Scottish independence referendum.
Ms Leadsom said: “Despite the people of Scotland voting 55 to 45 saying they want to remain in the United Kingdom. She is determined to have another go because it was the wrong answer. Isn’t that what the EU tries to do? She’s not a democrat.”
When pressed on her plans for a second referendum, Ms Sturgeon dodged the question saying she was putting Scottish independence “to one side” and was not appearing to speculate about what happens in the event of a Brexit vote.
But her fellow Remain campaigner Ms Rudd warned that leaving the EU would result in there being “an issue with the Union”.
Ms Rudd said there was “a danger to the Union” if Britain left.
Making the case for the EU, Ms Sturgeon said membership protected workers’ rights.
“I don’t fancy...the prospect of future perhaps a Prime Minister Boris Johnson with complete freedom to rip up workers’ rights to bin environmental protections to keep blaming foreigners for all the ills of the world. That’s a pretty horrifying thought.”
She added: “The thing is Boris Johnson is not interested in your job. He is only interested in David Cameron’s job.”
Mr Johnson said: “We do not want to see any attrition of the rights of people at work. That’s not what we are campaigning for. We are campaigning to take back control of our economy and legislative system.”
The former Mayor also reminded Ms Sturgeon of her complaints that the Remain campaign was guilty of negativity and miserable scaremongering.
When Ms Rudd quoted Institute for Fiscal Studies figures suggesting Brexit would cost the UK £40 billion by 2020, Mr Johnson used Ms Sturgeon’s own words to ask her if that was “miserable, fear-based or negative?”
The early exchanges were dominated by immigration with Mr Johnson arguing for an Australian-style points system. Ms Sturgeon said EU migrants made a positive contribution to the economy, but admitted that “immigration is causing pressure in some areas on public services”.
“I see that in parts of my own constituency but you know what the answer to that is - to invest in our public services not to impose needless austerity cuts,” she said.

Periprocedural Management of New Oral Anticoagulants in Atrial Fibrillation Ablation.
BACKGROUND: Patients who undergo catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) are at increased risk of developing thromboembolic and bleeding complications periprocedurally. Many patients are now on newer oral anticoagulants (NOACs), but data regarding their safety and efficacy during AF ablation are limited.
METHODS AND RESULTS: This article reviews the literature in PubMed from 1998 to 2014 and includes clinical trials and meta-analysis that analyzed the safety and efficacy of NOACs during AF catheter ablation. Dabigatran seems to be as effective and safe as warfarin, although most data are from single-center studies, with small samples and very low overall bleeding and thromboembolic complications. Periprocedural anticoagulation protocols also vary greatly between studies. Some recent meta-analysis has shown that warfarin could still be a safer and more effective alternative. There are fewer studies with rivaroxaban in AF ablation, and there have been no meta-analysis yet comparing rivaroxaban to warfarin or dabigatran. There seems to be no significant differences in safety or efficacy of rivaroxaban compared to warfarin. Interestingly, there are no available data for apixaban in AF ablation yet.
DISCUSSION: There are no consensus guidelines regarding the use of NOACs during AF ablation. Dabigatran and rivaroxaban seem as safe and effective as warfarin, although larger studies with standardized protocols are needed, as available studies may be underpowered to detect small differences in bleeding and thromboembolic rates.

Formerly known as Complementary and Alternative Medicine in Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's Disease is often said to be an incurable, progressive, and degenerative disease. It is our hypothesis that some of you do not, or will not, have a progressive disease. The goal of this PD study is to collect as much data as possible over a ten-year period with the hope of finding dietary and lifestyle factors associated with a slower disease progression.
The more people participate, the more likely the results are to reflect the true population. When thousands of people pool their data together, the MVP Study can identify trends in the population that are not visible to the individual.
Individuals with any form of parkinsonism, or a reason to suspect they may be at increased risk of parkinsonism, are invited to participate.
Parkinson’s disease (PD) - Parkinsonism - Multiple system atrophy (MSA)- Progressive Supranuclear palsy (PSP)- Corticobasal degeneration (CBGD) - Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) - Neurodegenerative disorder Not Otherwise Specified (Other)
No PD diagnosis, possible prodromal period - Individuals at above-average risk of Parkinsonism, e.g. include family history of parkinsonism, known gene carrier for a Parkinson-related disease, early-life or current dairy intake, history of head trauma, history of melanoma/ skin cancer, known pesticide exposure, acting out dreams (REM sleep behavior disorder), loss of smell, diabetes, irritable bowel syndrome, or constipation.
People have Parkinsonism for 10-20 years before their motor symptoms lead to a diagnosis. There are a growing number of ways people are alerting themselves to parkinsonism in the early years, before there are any motor symptoms.
Examples of reasons an individual may consider him/herself at risk: family history of parkinsonism, known gene carrier for a Parkinson-related disease, early-life or current dairy intake, history of head trauma, history of melanoma/ skin cancer, known pesticide exposure, history of well-water intake, acting out dreams (REM sleep behavior disorder), loss of smell, diabetes, irritable bowel syndrome, or constipation.
Participants must agree to fill out a survey every six months for ten years. You may stop participating at any time.
