Just when you think every interesting story about WWII has been told and retold, along comes another, and this one as compelling as any that came before. "The Last Vermeer", is a tale of mystery, of Art Fraud, and the weeding out of Nazi collaboration at the end of the war. It's also a gripping courtroom drama with twist after twist and a totally unexpected ending. On top of that, it's an absolutely true story.
I like how these sorts of tales get discovered and exposed. It adds to our world knowledge, educates us on how truly ingenious and creative some criminals can be, and displays how even the best of us can be taken for a ride.
Unlike most war movies that rely on the use of battle scenes or flashbacks of gruesome images to relate the gravity of their story, this film utilizes only two individual scenes of execution to get the seriousness of the narrative across, and it's striking in the way those images will stick with you. For that matter, I found myself thinking about this film, long after I'd seen it.
Here's The Storyline...
The film begins in Amsterdam three weeks after the fall of Hitler, when Nazi collaborators are being exposed, adjudicated, and executed in public view by firing squad.
A railroad car belonging to Hermann Goering is discovered hidden in a salt mine. Among the stolen treasures found inside, is a painting by renowned artist Johannes Vermeer called "Christ and the Adulteress" which was sold to him for the enormous sum of 1.6 million gelders. The Allied provisional government wants to know, "Who sold it to him?" and "Where did that person get it?" These are crimes punishable by death.
Joseph Piller (Bang), a Dutch Jew who had been working with the Resistance, is assigned the task of identifying and redistributing stolen art. His hunt regarding the Vermeer painting leads him to the flamboyant painter Han van Meegeren (Pearce), who is being accused of collaborating and selling stolen artwork to high-ranking Nazis. However, the further into the case Piller gets, even with mounting evidence, the more he becomes convinced that van Meegeren is innocent and he soon finds himself drawn into the uncomfortable position of fighting to save the man's life.
Director Dan Friedkin creates a beautifully sumptuous recreation of the period and fills the screen with the waterways and small streets that make Amsterdam the charming city it is. He manages to tell his tale with a strange knowledge of the times never letting his direction overwhelm the story.
However, it's Guy Pearce who steals the show with one of the greatest performances of his career. He creates a character whose eccentricities and ornately groomed eyebrows, which are unforgettable, suggest a state of permanent surprise and unquestionable superiority. He almost eclipses the main performance of Claes Bang, who was brilliant in the film "The Square".
My take..."The Last Vermeer" is well worth your viewing time. It's a little slow getting started, but once it gets going, it's one surprise after another.

Thank you source filmmaker!
Wait a sec, if these old versions of SFM that have props they never meant to make public are still available as betas, does that mean those versions were skipped over in official releases, or betas of those official releases that were changed before they went "live"?
Those screenshots look like a totally different game, what cool images!
This is incredible. The aesthetic of those images look like they came alive for cp_foundry!

The Digital Photography Book
Scott Kelby, author of The Digital Photography Book, part 1, the top-selling digital photography book of all time, is back with an entirely new book that picks up right where part 1 left off. It's more of that “Ah ha–so that's how they do it,” straight-to-the-point, skip-thetechno- jargon stuff you can really use today that made part 1 so successful. This book truly has a brilliant premise, and here’s how Scott describes it: “If you and I were out on a shoot and you asked me, ‘When I use my flash, the background behind the person I’m shooting turns black. How do I fix that?’ I wouldn’t give you a lecture on flash ratios, or start a discussion on flash synchronization and rear curtain sync. I’d just say, ‘Lower your shutter speed to 1/60 of a second. That should do it.’ Well, that’s what this book is all about: you and I out shooting, where I answer questions, give you advice, and share the secrets I’ve learned just like I would with a friend–without all the technical explanations and techie photo speak.” Each page covers a single concept on how to make your photography better. Every time you turn the page, you’ll learn another pro setting, tool, or trick to transform your work from snapshots into gallery prints. If you’re tired of taking shots that look “okay,” and if you’re tired of looking in photography magazines and thinking, “Why don’t my shots look like that?” then this is the book for you. This isn’t a book of theory–full of confusing jargon and detailed concepts. This is a book on which button to push, which setting to use, and when to use it. With over 200 of the most closely guarded photographic “tricks of the trade,” this book gets you shooting dramatically better-looking, sharper, more colorful, more professional-looking photos every time.

August 20, 2012
I really appreciate the effort and the "My View" by Dr. Michelle C. Dziurgot in the April 23 ADA News. Her story reminds me of just how insurance has seeped its way into many offices. The ADA News seems to carry many stories that have underlying themes of how insurance companies do one egregious behavior or another. I just wanted to help clarify dentistry’s relationship with insurance as I see it after 30 years in practice.
Dr. Dziurgot’s patient thought dentistry should be lumped into the medical policy and not be separated. That sounds good on the surface if health care was administrated by a third party that was altruistic. However, in our current culture, the further we are from unorganized, chaotic medicine the better. Physicians are taking home less each year and often end up working for large corporations that can better manage their business side. The problem with dental reimbursement is not that it is treated differently than medicine; that is a good thing in my eyes. The medical world is a total failure of health care delivery, because they have allowed profit-making insurance companies to run the program of medical procedure rationing. Insurance companies have an inherent conflict of interest.
The real problem for dentistry is that many dentists are unknowingly training their patients to think of insurance as their friend. Some dentists even think insurance is the dentist’s friend. Some go as far as signing contracts with the very insurance companies that tell them what to do. Then those very same dentists attend local and state meetings and spend the evening complaining about … you got it, insurance companies.
Insurance companies care about taking in as many dollars as possible and paying out as few dollars possible to maximize profit. They are some of the most profitable businesses in the USA, at your expense. Insurance companies don’t diagnose, treatment plan or render care. They just want patients (and some doctors) to think they are looking out for the patient. They confuse patients with TV commercials that suggest that they are health care companies. They are looking out for their bottom line.
Insurance companies have limited payments to about $1,000-1,500 for decades, while costs to purchase benefits have gone up. Benefits have been restricted to crazy concepts (no tooth colored fillings or crowns on back teeth, no fixed bridge if a removable appliance will do, etc.).
Insurance companies routinely down code procedures to their own benefit. The insurance company costs haven’t gone up; they set their maximum risk up front. It doesn’t matter if your crown fee is $500 or $2,000; they will quit paying when the patient’s limit is reached. The percentage utilization I recently read for one company with Snoopy on their airship was that only 3 percent of policyholders received their maximum benefits in a given year. There is a lot of money paid in that never goes toward dental care. That allows them to buy airships. Nothing wrong with profit. But in my industry, I prefer it to be my financial profit and my patient’s health.
The reality is that dental insurance does not exist. By definition, patients cannot insure against the need for hygiene care or X-rays. They can only pre-pay some third party and then hope to get their own money back. Insurance does not cover catastrophic problems; only a very small part until the limits are reached, often not enough to fix even one tooth (root treatment, core and crown). That third party then tries to dictate what doctors can do, contracted or not, what the patients are entitled to based on some contract, and then reduce the amount they pay based on some hidden usual, customary and reasonable tables that they create themselves.
It is time for a look in the mirror. I completely agree with Michelle that we do treat the entire patient every day in our offices. We screen for hypertension and more. Oral health as we all know affects the entire patient. You enjoyed the Navy dentistry because no one had their hand in the cookie jar taking cash out for third-party profit. That was a wonderful example of socialized medicine managed by a government entity. Insurance-based care is fragmented socialized medicine managed by many private companies. Insurance is a failed method of money management (for the patient and doctor). This recent push to "privatize" government-run entities has its place, but dentistry and medicine are failing examples of privatization gone bad. Best wishes, Dr. Dziurgot, and thank you for sticking up for all that dentistry is doing for our patients.

Amad's poor Rangers luck continues as he is subbed after 30 minutes in first start for two months
It would be fair to say Amad’s loan to Rangers has been a disappointment. From being handed the number nine shirt and scoring four minutes into his debut, hopes were high.
Since that bright start, Amad’s stint in Glasgow has spiralled downwards at disappointingly frenetic rate. He has not played a single minute of their Europa League run to the semi-finals, from six available knockout ties.
This weekend the Manchester United loanee got what he had been waiting for, his first start in two months.
Amad was named in Rangers’ starting line-up away at Motherwell, as they sought to put pressure on Celtic in the title race. It was Amad’s first Scottish Premiership start since February 2, and his first since the cup game against Annan Athletic on February 20.
Amad subbed after 30 minutes
After two months without a start and just a handful of odd substitute appearances, Amad would have been desperate to make the most of this chance.
Instead, his time on the pitch lasted just 30 minutes before he was substituted, with his poor luck in Scotland continuing.
Rangers defender Connor Goldson was sent off for a mistimed tackle in the 29th minute. Amad was the fall guy as Rangers made a tactical change to bring on an extra defender.
It should not have been a surprise Amad was the one to make way, considering he was so fortunate to start in the first place.
The call was reminiscent of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer subbing Donny van de Beek off after 45 minutes against Young Boys earlier in the season, after being given a very rare start.
Rangers went on to win the game 3-1, having been 1-0 down and down to 10 men after half an hour.
During his short spell on the pitch, Amad completed 11 of 13 passes, had one shot on target, took one corner and touched the ball 18 times. He was doing well enough, until circumstances went against him.
Outlook for Amad
Not for his own fault, this was a missed chance for Amad considering the games Rangers have ahead over the next two weeks.
Rangers’ next three fixtures are the two Europa League semi-finals against RB Leipzig, with a league match with bitter rivals Celtic in between.
A big game on Saturday could have propelled Amad towards contention for an opportunity in these games. He isn’t totally out it, considering he started this one, but the best he will have to settle for is a spot on the bench.
Amad’s best chance of another start now comes on Sunday May 8, when Rangers host Dylan Levitt’s Dundee United in the league.

Not too long ago the community rejoiced when an almost two year long stay order on allotment of housing to members of the community was lifted, thanks to the efforts of the new BPP Board Trustees – Desai, Dadrawala, Bhathena and Randeria. A little known fact is that even after the new Trustees approached the Charity Commissioner (CC) requesting him to lift the stay order, both – ex-BPP Chairman Dinshaw Mehta (in person) and Trustee-in-absence, Munchi Cama (through his advocate), vehemently opposed this request. However, the CC decided to accept the plea of the new Trustees and the stay order was lifted.
The community rejoiced. The first six months saw the new Board working dedicatedly in the interest of the community – allotting 65 flats within the first six months of their working, compared to the last Board’s sorry stats of allotting 75 flats in seven years.
But, as they say, all good things come to an end, and once again the community finds itself at the receiving end of the unending battles within the BPP, triggered allegedly by external hands. Even as all sides inexhaustibly harp on about their legal rights, petty reasons and myopic visions of right and wrong, the greater good of the community yet again is lost amidst a flurry of whatsapp messages and social media misuse.
Parsi Times has gone beyond the words and the huffing and puffing of our Trustees, and is putting before the community details of the recent happenings – chronologically, as per the documents available with us. We do not intend to join the ‘tu-tu-main-main’ blame game and disrespect the time or intelligence of our readers.
The 2013 cash payments controversy resurfaced a month ago; allegedly fresh evidence was now available and put forward before the press by the complainant ex-Trustee Khojeste Mistree and some of the present Trustees. When asked why this old issue was being raked up, the facts that emerge add up thus: Musharaf (main tenant in the Dady Building Controversy) approached BPP and requested the new Board execute his pending tenancy agreement as he had already made the full payment. All six Trustees accepted this and passed a resolution to this effect. Musharaf was called the next day and asked to clear his outstanding dues, which he did. A rent receipt was issued to him and he was asked to withdraw the case that he had filed against the BPP. This too was done. All this was as per the resolution passed unanimously by all six Trustees. However the records show that when the agreement was to be signed, five of the Trustees, including Armaity Tirandaz, signed it. Only Viraf Mehta did not. Subsequently, the records show that Tirandaz decided to withdraw her signature and the remaining four Trustees signed a fresh agreement.
So how does this solitary issue turn into a major stumbling block for the community?
The allegations, whatsapp messages and audio recordings that followed these events seem to indicate that Musharaf had become a key player in this saga of an alleged cash transaction by the ex-Chairman Dinshaw Mehta. Apparently the signing of the tenancy agreement is the carrot or the stick (depends on which side of the fence you are looking from) which can prove or disprove this allegation made by Khojeste Mistree against Dinshaw Mehta. The anonymous whatsapp messages attaching clips of an alleged meeting between Dinshaw, Viraf and Musharaf at Musharaf’s house appears to be the straw that will break the proverbial back of the camel.
Whether there is any link between this alleged cash transaction and the subsequent events, which are threatening the functioning of the BPP, once again, remains to be seen…
On the 25th of July 2016, Trustee-in-absentia, Munchi Cama, through his lawyers, sent a notice to different offices of the Registrar of Documents requesting that no documents (tenancy, L&L, etc) should be registered without his signature. This attempt, if successful, will not just stop the execution of the Musharaf tenancy agreement, but will effectively stall all housing allotment agreements – unless he had also signed them, as the ‘seventh’ Trustee.
On the very same day, Viraf Mehta and Armaity Tirandaz also wrote a letter to various offices of the Registrar calling upon them not to register the Musharaf tenancy agreement, claiming that “all the facts” were not informed to them. It is not specified in the letter as to who was supposed to “inform” them as Armaity Tirandaz is herself a continuing Trustee, and closely involved in this
transaction. This letter also called upon the office of the sub-registrar not to execute even L&L agreements unless signed by all seven Trustees. (It is relevant to note that both the letters/notices are written on the very same day and thus neither can be said to be a ‘response’ to the other.)
Clarifications issued by both Viraf and Armaity alleged that they tried ‘very hard’ to convince the other four Trustees to ‘consider’ Munchi’s letter/notice, which the four Trustees refused. How such a claim can be justified, in keeping with the fact that both sets of letters were written on the very same day, is beyond logic and understanding.
Two days later, on the 27th of July 2016, Viraf and Armaity sent a legal notice to the various offices of the Registrar, threatening to take legal action if they registered any document without the signature of seven Trustees (including L&L Agreements). Two interesting facts that emerge from the perusal of these three documents: 1) Viraf and Armaity did not mark or send copies of their letter of 25-7-16 or their legal notice of 27-7-16 to the other four Trustees; and 2) Even though the copy of the notice sent by Cama’s lawyers on the 25th of July to the Punchayet was not received by any of the Trustees, the legal notice sent by Viraf and Armaity just two days later, records the fact that Cama’s lawyers have sent the office of the Registrar a legal notice!
This was not to be the end of the sordid saga. As reported by PT in its breaking news column last week, Cama has now filed a case before the Charity Commissioner wherein he has prayed that the present Trustees be stopped by an order of injunction from doing any work as Trustees. He has also filed an Originating Summons (OS) in the High Court where the prayers are more or less along the same grounds as in the application before the CC.
Cama, who resigned on the 12th of June 2105, appears to have decided to assert his views after a period of 13 months. There is probably no connection to the Musharaf case (although Cama’s notice and cases, if successful, will also help stall Musharaf’s documentation) but the timing could not have been more opportune for those who would want to stall Musharaf, just so that he can be bullied/cajoled into changing his statement. Cama’s resigned making serious allegations and calling upon the CC to appoint an administrator, an eventuality that has always worried the community given our vast properties, particularly the Doongerwadi lands.
One is forced to wonder about and question the timing of Cama’s “realization” that the BPP cannot and should not function without all seven Trustees. Even after the October elections, for almost nine months, Cama did not raise this issue. Immaterial of the adverse timing, today it is a serious threat to the present functioning of the BPP Trustees. And even though many may question the bonafides of the cases and the timing, no one can deny that Cama is an intelligent and honest man. He has often been looked upon as a person who enjoys a legal fight and one can safely say that this is going to be a long and a hard battle for the new Trustees, particularly the four who appear to be in the sights of the litigation, as the other two trustees Viraf and Armaity have already spoken on behalf of Cama. The three new Trustees, Dadrawala, Bhathena and Randeria are NOT a party to the change report case of Cama, which is before the Charity Commissioner. Only the Chairman Yazdi Desai is, as he was the reporting Trustee.
Whether Cama will succeed or not will determine whether the new Board will be able to continue the good work that they had started out to do. Whether intended or not, these challenges of Cama will play into the hands of the Mehtas, who allegedly have told Musharaf that they will ensure that his property will not be registered.
On 20th February, 2014, Cama along with Mehta and Tirandaz had written a letter to Musharaf’s lawyer stating that “they were willing to admit execution” and “register the same”. In fact the three of them in that letter have stated – “….that these three Trustees (Cama, Mehta, Tirandaz) have performed their duties as the landlords…” So what has changed? Is it that the new Trustees (who obviously could not know as much as the old Trustees of the last Board) did not disclose to Armaity Tirandaz (who was a Trustee at that time and thus obviously was in the know of ALL THE FACTS) and to Viraf Mehta (whose father is the main accused and who would probably be the one man who would know the facts better than any other person) all the facts as both these Trustees allege repeatedly? Or is it that the affidavits, the alleged video and audio recordings that are now doing the rounds, as alleged proof of cash transaction in the Dadi House matter, which is the issue – from which attention is sought to be diverted?
They say that truth always emerges from the ashes of lies even if it may take its own sweet time. Till then, the community will suffer. One can only hope that better sense prevails and the poor and needy of our community are not put through the same disappointment and hardship as they were recently subjected to.
Surely they deserve better?

The Camp Lejeune Justice Act is now law, though political drama briefly made its fate seem murky. The measure was part of the Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson Honoring our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics (PACT) Act, a bill designed to help veterans injured by toxic exposure. Camp Lejeune is a North Carolina military base that had a contaminated water supply for nearly 30 years, sickening veterans and their families. Military members aren’t allowed to sue the government for injuries sustained during service, but the Camp Lejeune Justice Act adds an exception.
The PACT Act received unprecedented bipartisan support, passing the Senate with an 84-14 vote in June. Because of a technical error, it was sent to the Senate a second time for a vote — but this time, 25 Republicans indicated opposition to the bill. After intense public pressure from fellow politicians, veterans, and celebrities, they reversed course. Cheers broke out in the gallery when the Senate passed the bill, and President Biden signed it into law on Wednesday, August 10, 2022. Within hours, affected veterans started to file Camp Lejeune lawsuits against the U.S. government for failing to warn servicemembers about the dangers of the water at Camp Lejeune.
The PACT Act is a significant victory for veteran healthcare advocates. Named in honor of Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson, a National Guardsman who died after burn pit exposure while deployed, the bill lifts the burden of proof from veterans to prove burn pit exposure caused their illnesses. As a result, millions of veterans will be eligible for expanded benefits. It is expected to cost $280 billion over the next decade, and some Republicans raised objections because they disapproved of the funding plan.
If the PACT Act failed, it would’ve also spelled trouble for the Camp Lejeune Justice Act, making it impossible for servicemembers to sue the U.S. government for Camp Lejeune health problems. The Republican senators who opposed the act faced widespread criticism, partly because of questions about whether the change in heart was politically motivated. The opposition emerged after Democrats revealed they’d reached a deal on unrelated matters. In a 9-minute viral video, comedian Jon Stewart denounced the politicians opposing the bill. He accused them of acting cruelly and said the behavior was “an embarrassment to the Senate, to the country, to the founders, and all that they profess to hold dear.” Stewart, who has advocated for veterans’ rights for years, was present when Biden signed the PACT Act into law on August 10, 2022.
Who Can File a Camp Lejeune Lawsuit?
In the next few weeks, the number of Camp Lejeune lawsuits against the federal government will likely swell. More than a million people lived at the military base during the water contamination period, drinking and bathing in water they didn’t know contained toxic substances not meant for human consumption. Some veterans later developed health conditions like kidney cancer, adult leukemia, and Parkinson’s disease. Others died before the federal government revealed the full extent of the water pollution at Camp Lejeune. Contamination began in the early 1950s, but the wells weren’t shut down until 1985.
No one knows how many veterans and civilians were sickened because of the Camp Lejeune toxic water exposure. Still, many have developed serious illnesses in the years since water testing showed dangerously high levels of benzene, industrial solvents, and other chemicals in the Camp Lejeune drinking water. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) offers disability benefits for people stationed at Camp Lejeune for at least 30 days who have qualifying health conditions, allowing veterans to get ongoing medical expenses covered. The Camp Lejeune Justice Act takes things a step further. Veterans will now be able file Camp Lejeune lawsuits to recover damages for losses like pain and suffering, mental anguish, and lost earnings and receive significantly more compensation than the VA provides.
Any individuals with certain illnesses who lived or worked at Camp Lejeune for at least 30 days from August 1, 1953, to December 31, 1987, can now file a Camp Lejeune water contamination claim, and if the claim is denied a lawsuit can be filed. Some of the diseases associated with the toxic water at Camp Lejeune include various cancers, aplastic anemia and other myelodysplastic syndromes, multiple myeloma, Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and Parkinson’s disease. Families of those who died from various diseases due to the contaminated water can also file a Camp Lejeune lawsuit seeking compensation from a government that failed them for years. A Camp Lejeune attorney can walk water contamination victims, or their family members through the Camp Lejeune claims process and help determine if they qualify.

This is one review I’ve dreaded and looked forward to writing. My fear is that I won’t do it justice, won’t be able to impart even a glimmer of what this book is about to the future prospective readers.
Clair de Lune, Jetta Carleton’s last and thought to be lost (blown away in a 2003 tornado) novel finally came to print in 2012 and surely the world of literature is a better place for it. Click here for more information on the book’s fascinating back-story.
This is a leisurely slow read that plays out like a 1940's black and white film, extremely written and cinematic. If you’re looking for gritty, realistic Southern fiction like the works of Carson McCullers or Eudora Welty (as I was), you won’t find it in this book.
This is the story of Allen (short for Barbara Allen), a first year teacher in a new junior college in rural Missouri at the brink of WWII. Allen really wants to go to New York City and possible be a writer but she realizes she needs to work for a while to build up a nest egg first. Despite the fact that her heart really isn’t into her teaching position, she makes the most of it and soon becomes very popular with the students. Her favorites are two male students, George and Toby. They peg her for a kindred spirit and soon begin hanging out with her during their spare time away from school. It’s all innocent at first, just meeting at her apartment, listening to records and discussing literature but soon they graduate to prowling the town at night, playing hide and seek in the fog, drinking cheap beer and singing as they walk through the dark alleys.
Allen and Toby begin a romantic relationship on the shy when George isn’t around and Allen blooms like a neglected, thirsty flower. It’s her first love and it’s every bit as thrilling as she’d hoped. After a period of time, the news gets back to the school board and the other teachers that Allen is not only seen fraternizing with male students after hours in sketchy locations throughout the town but also inviting them back to her apartment at night…
You might shrug your shoulders and say, “So what?” This book take place in 1940, that sort of thing wasn’t supposed to happen back then. Female teachers really had to tow the line and lead a very pure and circumspect life. Unmarried women didn’t invite men into her house at night and certainly not teachers… but Allen did. Her friendship with George and Toby is something so dear to her heart that she just doesn’t understand how other people might view the situation in a darker light. The other teachers stop talking to her and begin excluded her from social events and worse of all, she loses George and Toby. What to do? Does Allen tuck her tail between her legs and begin to lead a proper life befitting a 1940’s schoolteacher or does she follow her heart?


Security cameras are made in different types, intended for different purposes. Mostly, it really varies by location. Are you trying to record a huge parking lot, an area spanning 300 yards or more? Or are you only interested in capturing a narrow alley? How much night vision do you need in those areas?
Going wireless and powering everything with solar can be pretty convenient. It means a good IP camera is capable of operating with almost zero oversight or micromanagement. With everything setup, it’s usually possible to have to interact with the camera when it has something worth reporting.
Picking the Best Battery-Operated Solar Powered Wireless IP Cameras
But achieving convenience depends on matching a camera along with your own needs. For picking the right IP camera, there are really three things you’ll want to think about above all else.
Night Vision Capacity
Vision in the dark is more difficult than day vision, even for a sophisticated lens. Nearly any decent night vison camera will support at least 30ft of viewing distance. Stronger kits can see between 30ft and 50ft, while the strongest cameras out there will be able to see for hundreds of yards.
However, night vision sensors can be terribly expensive. So you really only want to choose a camera with capacities that match your needs rather than grossly exceeding them. If 30ft will do, you’re better off picking a camera with roughly that range of support.
Any decent IP camera will let you get connected to the net. Most of the better cameras will do that through a 2.4G Wi-Fi connection. That means unless you want to rely entirely on SD card storage, you’ll have to position the camera within the radius of a wireless network.
SD card storage is almost unanimously the storage option used by these cameras now, though you can still find a few that have onboard storage capacity of some kind. There are also a couple IP cameras that allow you to record through their own branded app, acting as an intermediary between onsite storage and mobile data storage.
Solar Power and Batteries
The size of the solar paneling will invariably be made to match the battery capacity and energy needs of the device. So you don’t need to worry about the size of the panels, beyond thinking about whether they’ll be challenging to install.
For some types of use-cases, it can be helpful to be able to swap batteries in the camera. In others, you’re better off choosing a camera that has an enormous battery capacity. That way, even if the weather is doing poorly on a regular basis, the camera won’t struggle to remain active.
Part of what makes the Soliom S60 special is how it’s been constructed with two separate motion detection sensors. One is RADAR based, the other is infrared. Working together, they provide fantastic night vision, too. A 0.7 second trigger response time allows the S60 to respond to motion in an instant, too. That response will both save the video, and alert you through a mobile device.
With respect to recording, the S60’s camera captures in full 1080p HD, and has a fairly impressive 5-layer lens. The lens allows for you to choose the best LED light to enhance night vision. The S60 has a maximum viewing distance of about 50 ft. for the night vision.
Build & Design
The dimensions of the S60 are actually tough to measure precisely because it’s shaped so weirdly. It’s similar to a regular camera, except there’s a large disc of solar paneling running through either side. With all the odd angles in account, the S60 measures about 6.8 x 7.3 x 4 inches, and weighs ten ounces.
Much of that weight is the result of the S60 being constructed around a 4000mAh lithium ion battery. It’s pretty hefty little battery for such a small camera. And all of those components are protected with an IP66 weatherproof chassis, intended to with stand temperatures as low as -4°F, and as high as 140°F. The only serious limitation to keep in mind is that this chassis is not intended to protected the S60 from prolonged submersion in water. You’d want to pull it out of a flooded area.
The ability to save an unlimited amount of storage is pretty compelling. That’s exactly what you get when you’re using an SD card device like this. You can also connect with as many as eight separate devices through their app, so everyone in a family is able to access the camera as needed. Their app is reasonably intuitive to use, and it’s functional on both iOS and Android devices.
You don’t get a microSD card included with this camera. The downside of that is clear — you need to bring your own storage solutions to the table. The upside is equally clear; you don’t have to pay for having an SD card packaged into the cost of this device. Which is great if you already have a card laying around. In either case, it would be a good idea to get an endurance card for a device like this.
Funxwe 1080P Solar Powered WiFi Security IP Camera
The Funxwe 1080p Solar Powered WiFi Security IP Camera is stunningly powerful. In spite of its somewhat low-average megapixel count, this camera really steps up to the plate when it comes to seeing in the dark. That’s entirely thanks to its starlight sensor, which is capable of capturing excellent clarity in night conditions.
In fact, you can get about 300 feet of night vision, which is virtually unparalleled at this price point. That great vision is then paired with equally great motion detection, which can be used to issue photo alerts and video snapshots of whatever has set off the camera. That’s great for helping decide if it’s necessary to view the footage or not.
Build & Design
The outer shell is made largely of aluminum, allowing for an effectively waterproof design. Consequently, this device is made for an IP66 waterproof certification, indicating it’s ready for almost everything except submersion. Installation is reasonably simple, too. The included mounting hardware gives you everything you need to get started.
The recording modes can be scheduled, based on snapshots, or even loop recording. It supports 4 independent detection areas, as well as adjustable sensitivity. Using their free IPCView software, you can access your footage and your settings, which allows for remote access anywhere you’ve got a browser. For that program, there is full support for Android, iOS, PC, etc.
For management, their app lets you move between three different levels of user accounts, each type with their own authority. For instance, some accounts may only be able to view footage, while you might need the highest authority for actually deleting content.
How can you draw data from the device? Peer-to-peer connection with Wi-Fi is your best option, which is why this kit can serve as a wireless access point. The Wi-Fi is actually served over the 2.4GHz band, which means you’re able to bounce a connection to this camera with ease. This camera records straight to a 16GB card that’s built-in to the device. For further storage options, you can add a 128GB SD card through the included microSD slot.
The lens is capable of 3x digital zoom. Of course, as you zoom in, your resolution effectively decreases and you approach 720p clarity. In either case, the camera shoots between 25 and 30 frames per second, which is pretty unremarkable, but sufficient for the kind of recording it intends to do.
These somewhat bulky solar panels are constructed around a 11600mAh lithium-ion batteries. The battery life for these units is about five years. After that, you’ll need to replace them. Once you’ve got it fully charged, the standby time for this unit is about two full days.
One more note about the battery. The Funxwe 1080p Solar Powered WiFi Security IP Camera includes a two-year warranty, but that warranty does not include the battery. Because batteries are basically consumables.
Reolink Argus 2 + Solar Panel
The Reolink Argus 2 is a little more adaptable than the Soliom S60, but it’s otherwise it’s a terribly similar device. What helps make it more adaptable is being able to separately position your solar panels from the camera, which can be a boom in many installation circumstances.
The camera shoots in full HD, which is comes through crystal clear, and its night vision extends about 36-feet into the darkness. Once again, that’s about average for a security camera because it’s all that most people need. And it matches up nicely with the viewing angle of this device. The lens shoots in a wide 130-degree viewing angle, which is great for covering a near-panoramic view.
Build & Design
Both the camera and its conjoined solar paneling come to a total weight of about 2lbs. The solar paneling is scarcely any larger than the camera, with its platform extending roughly 6” x 4”, that’s attached to a circular stand with a 1” diameter. The camera hardly stands 5” tall, making it pretty subtle as well. Additionally, the default faceplate on the Reolink Argus 2 is black, it can be swapped over to a white plate to help it blend in better.
The chassis is IP65 waterproof, allowing it to endure outdoor conditions throughout the course of a year. Rain is no issue, snow is no issue, but these cameras aren’t made for submersion, nor temperatures that are far below freezing. Once you’re in sub-freezing temperatures, or flood waters are licking at the camera, that’s when you’ll want to help it retreat to safer ground.
The built-in PIR motion detection system is pretty effective, but the distance setting is something that will cause disagreement. Because the detection distance reaches about as far as the night vision. If you’re trying to get a shot from more than 30-feet out, this camera isn’t quite sensitive enough for it.
Similar to the other cameras on this list, the Argus 2 is powered by a rechargeable battery, so there’s no need to go drilling a bunch of holes in your wall. In fact, there’s no complex installation necessary at all. The battery hooks up with a solar panel, allowing you to recharge the camera continuously. If you have a few days of terrible weather conditions, you can recharge the battery using a micro USB connector as well.
This camera does not support 5G wireless connections, and it does not support continuous recording. Recording needs to be either manually initiated, or triggered through the motion detection sensors.
Like you’d hope, there’s a micro SD card slot that can keep your camera recording while you’re not around. The card slot maxes out around 64GB. Unfortunately, there isn’t any onboard memory storage, and there isn’t an SD card that comes with this camera.
You can make use of the Reolink camera app, which lets you access your recordings anywhere you’ve got a browser. Because the Reolink Argus 2 can connect with a Wi-Fi network using the 2.4G band. Setting things up isn’t instant, you have to take a couple of moments to poke around through their app. But once you’ve got it done, it’s done. There’s no additional fees or signups necessary to get started.
This kit includes the solar panel, a 12ft connection cable, rechargeable battery, surveillance sign, and wall mounting kit. It also includes a hook and loop strap, both are pretty handy for getting the camera and solar paneling in position, and a couple of screws for permanent installation options.
Choosing the Best Battery-Operated Solar Powered Wireless IP Cameras
The Soliom S60 is basically an introductory IP camera that’s been given a series of upgrades. Similar to the Reolink Argus 2, the S60 has a really clever design. In the case of the S60, that cleverness mostly has to do with how they’ve incorporated the solar paneling so smoothly into the camera, so you don’t have to install two separate components. If you’re looking for a smooth installation, look no further.
The Funxwe 1080P Solar Powered Wi-Fi Security IP Camera isn’t for someone looking for the bare basics. This camera operates with a starlight sensor, giving it fantastic vision in the dark. It has an enormous storage capacity, and an equally enormous battery capacity. For set-and-forget installations that can withstand any variety of environmental circumstances, you can hardly do better than the Fuxwe Solar Powered IP Camera. Certainly not in the dark.
The Reolink Argus 2 + Solar Panel was smartly designed, so even people who don’t have reliable energy from the sun can ensure their camera is always working. The 130° view of the lens is perfect for surveillance; the night vision is more than adequate for its price. Running Wi-Fi means this camera can also be truly independent, if you get it positioned properly. Though it doesn’t include an SD card, this is otherwise a flawless kit.

Kanye West at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade rehearsal in New York on Nov. 22.
Photo: Getty Images
Kanye West isn't one to shy away from dramatic, statement-making jewelry. Remember the HUGE Horus chain and double pyramid ring he wore during the 2010 BET Awards? Sticking with the Greek mythological/ancient Egyptian theme that he's rocked with as of late, we spotted Kanye (whose album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy was recently released) rehearsing for his Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade performance on Nov. 22 wearing the same chest-baring black tee he wore onstage at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards to better show off a chunky gold Pegasus chain necklace. Save for the winged-horses' mesmerizing green eyes and the furry brown lapels on his trench, Kanye kept the rest of his practice outfit in shades of black. If this was just a taste, we can't wait to see what kind of jewelry he busts out for the real performance on Thanksgiving Day!
+ Do you like Kanye's large-and-in-charge chain?

I will be posting quite a few remixes for the next little while, I absolutely fell in love with this site! If you're interested in me doing a remix for an acapella of yours leave a comment or e-mail.
I play Guitar and can kinda play drums and piano even though I don't have either.
I use FL Studio 9 Demo that I downloaded from Google :P onto my desktop. Eventually, I will get a better program but I am fairly comfortable with the controls on FL, only 'cus I've not had much experience with anything else.
For guitar I'm using a Peavey Raptor plus(i know, i know, beginners guitar, yea yea,) and I run it through my vocalist's Toneport UX1 then into the default gearbox program, and that's pretty much it.
ATM, it'll be Periphery 2, Meshuggah's Koloss, OFWGKTA, plenty of other random artists from here or there, for a recommendation, I would say Stephanie Kay or K 19, both of whom I found on Looperman. Oh and check out AG47 on soundcloud! http://soundcloud.com/ag47
All of Born of Osiris' albums, all of Veil of Maya's albums, Master of Puppets, Matthew Good's Vancouver, Exoplanet by The Contortionist, "the black album lol " sorry to all the albums I forgot to mention! I still love you all.
My influences are weed, alcohol, guitars, basically any band from Sumerian Records, my friends, other artist from this site, outer space is a big one, uhm, also Sweet Chili Heat Doritos:D
My music sounds like shit to me most of the time, but hopefully you will disagree;) I like to think it sounds like my influences only a bit worse sound quality. I'd liken it to periphery maybe, only with a lot less going on at once. I call my music Progressive.
I was probably killed in some war or something. Maybe the Cold war Because I was born in 1991, so I would've had to die around early 1990's. Either that or a bee 'cus I really hate bees.

President Obama has weighed in on former Missouri defensive end Michael Sam’s announcement that he is gay, expressing admiration for Sam’s decision to come out in the months before the NFL draft.
In an interview with Charles Barkley on TNT, Obama noted that Sam wanted NFL teams to have a complete picture of who he is before they drafted him.
“I really like the fact that Michael did it before the draft,” Obama said. “Because his attitude was, ‘You know what? I know who I am. I know I can play great football and judge me on the merits.’ ”
First lady Michelle Obama previously called Sam “an inspiration to all of us.”


According to the service providers, the development was not unconnected with the new guidelines by the regulating agency of the government, the NCC.
The Nigerian Communications Commission on Wednesday however announced the immediate suspension of the new minimum pricing template for data services by mobile operators in the country.
The director, Public Affairs at the NCC, Tony Ojobo, said the decision to rescind its earlier directive to telecom operators to commence charging the new floor price rate for data from December 1, was to allow for further consultation with industry interest groups.
“Following concerns that visited the directive to introduce price floor for data segment of the telecommunications sector beginning from December 1, 2016, the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has suspended any further action in that direction,” Mr. Ojobo said in a statement.
“The decision to suspend this directive was taken after due consultation with industry stakeholders and the general complaints by consumers across the country.”
Mr. Ojobo said the Commission has already asked all operators to maintain the status quo until the conclusion of study to determine retail prices for broadband and data services in the country.

JS Wright will design and build the mechanical services for 201 energy-efficient affordable apartments within the fourth phase of New Union Wharf at Stewart Street on the Isle of Dogs.
JS Wright was awarded the contract by developer Hill following its completion of the 114-unit second and third phases of the 399-home riverside development.
The design and build contract for the fourth phase involves installing a low-pressure hot water heating system and associated pipework to feed underfloor heating within each apartment, along with a cold-water plantroom and distribution network to deliver boosted cold water as part of the domestic hot and cold-water services.
JS Wright will also install a heat interface unit in each apartment to act as a bridge to deliver instant hot water on demand and hot water to the underfloor heating at low return temperatures.
The company will also fit a mechanical ventilation heat recovery system that will use the outgoing air from each property to heat incoming fresh air, dry risers and sprinklers for fire protection, sanitary ware, and above-ground drainage.
In addition, the company will provide building management controls including a pre-payment system for billing each apartment’s energy use.
JS Wright will start work on site in August 2019 with completion scheduled for December 2021.
On completion, New Union Wharf will be managed by housing association L&Q.
JS Wright has equipped more than 1,500 new homes across London for Hill over the past three years. Current design and build projects for the developer include the first two phases of 580-home Fish Island Village in Hackney Wick, and Phase 1B of the 1,500-home Blackwall Reach development in Tower Hamlets.
Phil Leech, who took over as managing director of JS Wright last month, said: "We are thrilled to have built up such an excellent partnership with a developer that is renowned for restoring vibrant communities with modern energy efficient housing.”

Hilbert Circle Theatre; Feb. 19-20.
Since the new year began, the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra has given us two all-Russian programs, both featuring Tchaikovsky and Prokofiev. To those two highly esteemed names, last weekend added Rachmaninoff, already represented separately - in late January - with his third piano concerto. Larry Rachleff returned to the ISO podium to give us an outstanding example of his baton prowess. He opened with Tchaikovsky's popular pot-boiler, Marche slave
in B-flat, Op. 31. Yes, it's noisy, banal-in-places and repetitive, but its composer's steadfast melodic gift wins the day for the symphony-goer. Rachleff filled it with verve and precision. Next came yet another top tiered pianist for Rachmaninoff's last all-Romantic work: Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini
, Op. 43 (1934) - the theme being the Italian composer's 24th Violin Caprice, which we expect to hear often in next September's Indy Violin Competition. Pianist Terrence Wilson, in his 30s, dazzled us with his somewhat unique view of these variations, without crossing into mannerism. Orchestra and piano dovetailed throughout, sailing through the 18th variation - with the equally famous, more jubilant melody resulting from Rachmaninoff's turning the Paganini theme upside-down - past the "Dies Irae" quotes near the end. We can add Wilson to a number of exceptional guest pianists heard locally this season. Rachleff ended with Prokofiev's Fifth (Symphony No. 5 in B-flat, Op. 100). Written during WWII, the composer must have anticipated the war's favorable (to the Soviets) conclusion, as it gleams with a celebratory mood in a modernist tinged, post-Romantic style. Rachleff gave us well balanced, articulate ensemble work throughout its four movements.

Public support lifted our grief, says family of Natasha Ednan-Laperouse, who was killed by Pret baguette
The family of a teenage girl who died after an allergic reaction to a Pret a Manger sandwich have said the burden of their grief was lifted as the public got behind a campaign to change the law.
Nadim and Tanya Ednan-Laperouse, whose daughter Natasha, 15, died from eating sesame seeds baked into a baguette that did not list them in its ingredients, said they had drawn strength from the idea that others could be saved. They had a “very positive” meeting with Michael Gove, the environment secretary, who promised yesterday that the government would change food labelling laws by July next year.
Mrs Ednan-Laperouse, 51, said the family, from Fulham, southwest London, was devastated by Natasha’s death in July 2016 as she flew to

Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is the application of red light and near infrared radiation to stimulate healing and relieve pain. There is usually no sensation (besides warmth) or side effects. The new accepted term for this effect is Photobiomodulation.
May help with pain of:
Relief may be felt in as little a few minutes.
Visible and Infrared wavelengths used. No Ultra Violet (UV) used.
Biophotonics and nutraceuticals each increase ATP production for greater cellular energy.
We use light energy with different wavelengths. Like leaves use photosynthesis to absorb the suns energy, we use some wavelengths (not the harmful ultra violet ones) so the mitochondria of the cell can make more power. When the cells can make more power many functions improve.
Some wavelengths are used to increase circulation. Increased circulation brings more blood to the area and removes more cellular wastes.
Multiple wavelengths are used at the same time for your best results.

One of the cornerstones of the EU's climate change mitigation policy to date is the EU Emissions Trading Scheme, known as the EU ETS. It has been implemented in 31 countries (currently 27 EU countries plus Liechtenstein, Norway and Iceland) and currently covers some 10,000 energy-intensive industrial installations, including power plants, district heating, combined heat and power plants, steel and chemical manufacturing, as well as airlines. At the end of 2022, internal EU negotiations took place between the European institutions on ETS reform to lay the foundations for the implementation of the ‘Fit for 55’ package. The Council of the EU, the European Parliament and the Commission reached a preliminary agreement on the creation of a new ETS, separate from the current EU ETS (ETS1) and covering not only the current greenhouse gas emissions from energy-intensive industries, but also those from road transport fuels and the construction process. The new ETS is referred to as the BRT ETS 'Buildings and Road Transport Emission Trading System' or ETS2, to distinguish it from the EU ETS for industrial installations, ETS1.
What is zero-emission and what is low-emission transport? EU legislation currently defines low-emission vehicles as those with tailpipe emissions below 50g/km. They are therefore certain plug-in hybrids, fully electric cars and fuel cell vehicles (i.e. hydrogen-powered) . Zero-emission transport, on the other hand, are vehicles with no tailpipe emissions, i.e. electric (as well as hydrogen) powered vehicles. However, it is worth noting the life-cycle emissions of such vehicles (in particular the environmental costs that arise from the extraction and refining of rare earth elements), as well as the variable share of renewable energy supply in the production of the electricity these vehicles power in each Member State. Therefore, to describe them as zero-emission is a significant simplification that could even be considered greenwashing.
Will the European Union actually ban the sale of combustion cars? The ongoing transformation of the energy sector is supporting the electrification of transport. Electric vehicles are recognised in the EU as the future of European mobility. Support for the uptake of electric vehicles goes hand in hand with efforts to reduce emissions from combustion engine vehicles. In June 2022, the European Parliament (EP) supported the European Commission's proposal to achieve zero emissions from new cars and vans by 2035, and in October 2022, an interim agreement was adopted by the EU Council and the EP on the revision of CO2 emission standards for new cars and vans, which supported the goal of achieving zero emissions from new cars by 2035.
However, it is worth correcting an oft-repeated, yet erroneous narrative here and clarifying that the above agreement does not imply a total ban on the production of new combustion-engine cars. It allows the production of combustion-engine vehicles to continue, provided that a certain proportion of the total fleet produced is electric, and that new combustion engines can burn CO2-neutral fuels. Therefore, the production of internal combustion engine vehicles in Europe may will continue beyond 2035, provided that zero-emission fuels for such cars come into use. The ban on the sale of new cars with combustion engines will also not apply to the second-hand market. These used cars, which will continue to be marketed and driven after 2035, create an emissions problem for legislators and policy makers at the EU level. For example, despite the visible decrease in recent years, in Poland, more than 60% of passenger cars purchased are second-hand , highlighting the scale of this ongoing source of emissions.
The level of development of infrastructure needed to enable the replacement of internal combustion engine cars with electric ones is still insufficient, and there are valid concerns about the huge consumption of electricity that the transition to electric cars will entail and the related problems of stabilising the electricity grid. In the context of the current energy crisis caused indirectly by the armed conflict in Ukraine, investment in stabilising and modernising the electricity grid seems crucial. An important demand of 'Fit for 55' is also the repeal of Directive 2014/94/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 October 2014 on the development of alternative fuels infrastructure and its replacement by a regulation - AFIR, which was submitted at the end of 2022 and is currently going through the legal processes before it take effect. Amongst other things, the draft AFIR aims to link the development of the electric car fleet to the increase in the capacity of the public charging infrastructure, i.e. obliging Member States to create an environment that is convenient for the use of electric vehicles.
To achieve zero-emission for new cars, it will be necessary to reduce the average emissions of new passenger cars by 55% by 2030 and of new vans by 50% compared to the average emissions of these vehicle categories in 2021. Companies producing fewer than 10,000 passenger cars per year will have an extra year to comply. In contrast, smaller manufacturers producing between 1,000 and 10,000 new passenger cars or between 1,000 and 22,000 new vans per year can apply for derogations until the end of 2035. Companies producing up to 1,000 new vehicles per year, e.g. premium brands such as Ferrari or Lamborghini, will be completely exempt from meeting the requirements to reduce emissions from the internal combustion engine or manufacture zero-emission vehicles.
In order to achieve decarbonisation of transport, it is not enough just to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels (oil and its derivatives, as well as LPG and CNG) and eventually eliminate them, but there is also a need for action to reduce emissions from electric cars throughout their life cycle. Above all, this means decarbonising electricity generation. Electric cars driven in countries such as Norway, where virtually 100% of electricity is generated without burning fossil fuels, have a lower carbon footprint than, for example, the Netherlands where electricity is generated by burning fossil fuels (75% natural gas), the UK (76% natural gas and oil ) or Poland (>73% coal ). An exemplary life-cycle emissions analysis showed that a medium-sized electric passenger car generates as much as 47 grams of CO2 per mile (1.6 km) and over 8.1 tonnes of CO2 before the vehicle reaches its first owner, in the extraction of raw materials and in the production of the vehicle itself. The production of a comparable internal combustion engine car generates only 32 grams of CO2 per mile and just over 5. 5 tonnes of CO2 before purchase by the first owner . The same analysis also showed that in the worst-case scenario of using electricity produced entirely from burning coal, an electric vehicle would emit 4.1 tonnes of CO2 per year, while a comparable car with an internal combustion engine and the same mileage would emit around 4.6 tonnes of CO2 per year.
It is also necessary to take into account the lifetime of both types of vehicle, which for ICE cars is about 15-18 years and for electric cars, 8-12 years, and then compare the disposal costs of an electric car and its combustion engine counterpart. At this stage of the transition to electromobility, we need to ask ourselves whether the steep decline in the replacement of the internal combustion engine fleet with electric cars is the right course, and whether the billions of euros in subsidies for recharging infrastructures and the purchase of electric cars should not be invested in measures capable of reducing consumption and the negative impact on the environment in the first place (e.g. public transport)?
