Wearable cameras are gaining popularity among athletes and holiday-makersOn a skiing trip in Niseko, Japan, last month, Mr Wong Tien Hua wore a waterproof jacket and pants, goggles, a beanie and a new accessory - a tiny camera, measuring 1.迷你倉7cm by 1.5cm by 2.2cm, mounted on his helmet.He had bought the 73g GoPro wearable video and still camera for $400 in October last year for the trip to the Japanese winter resort with his anaesthesiologist wife, 44, and their two children, nine and 13.Says Mr Wong, 44, a doctor: "I usually take videos when we go on family trips but it is hard to do so when we are skiing. A hands-free camera is great."He shot three hours of footage, which he edited down to a five-minute video.His verdict? "The video quality is very good, although it cannot beat a DSLR. What is interesting is that there are so many different ways to mount it."Wearable cameras - small, compact digital devices which can be mounted on helmets and handlebars or strapped to wrists - have been in the news lately.Last week, investigators examined footage from a camera attached to Michael Schumacher's ski helmet to find out what happened in the minutes before the 45-year-old German race car legend's skiing accident in France last month.At last week's annual international Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, wearable gadgets such as cameras, smart watches and fitness trackers were all the rage. Electronics giant Panasonic revealed then that it would launch a new wearable camcorder later this year.The devices are gaining popularity in Singapore.A police spokesman told SundayLife! in an e-mail that the police force had been exploring the usefulness of body-worn cameras and had received positive feedback from trials done last year. It is currently evaluating using such cameras in day-to-day operations.Chinese newspaper Shin Min Daily reported on Dec22 that a local motorcyclist had recorded footage of several recalcitrant drivers through a camera on his helmet.Companies which offer wearable cameras here include American digital imaging company GoPro, Japanese electronics company Sony, consumer electronic specialist Ion Worldwide and German camera manufacturer Rollei.Units cost between about $100 and $600. Accessories, from mounts to underwater cases, cost from about $15 to more than $100.StreamCast Asia, the sole authorised distributor in South-east Asia for GoPro, says demand for GoPro wearable cameras has doubled every year since 2010. It started selling them here in 2007.GoPro introduced its first wearable camera, a bulky 35mm film version housed in a polycarbonate case, about 6cm by 8cm, in 2004.Newer models are about one-third the size and cost between $329 and $580. GoPro Hero3 and Hero3+ are sold at more than 50 stores, including electronics chain Harvey Norman. This is up from 10 stores in 2011.Mr Melvin Pang, 37, head of field marketing for Sony South East Asia, says sales of the Sony Action Cam, which was launched last January, have gone up but declines to give figures.The current model, the Sony Action Cam HDR- AS30V, costs $449.Retailers have noticed a spike in demand for wearable cameras. Outdoor Travel Sports in Alexandra Retail Centre currently sells about 30 to 50 GoPro cameras every month, up from just two to five units a month in 2012.Song Brothers, a digital product retailer with outlets in Funan and Sim Lim Square, sells five brands of wearable cameras, including those by Rollei and electronics brand JVC. They range in price from $99 to $600.Its operations manager Connie Chong, 30, says demand for wearable cameras is booming. "We sell 80 to 100 units every month. Stocks move very fast."One reason for the increased demand could be that more Singaporeans are into extreme sports these days, says Mr Jon Chia, 34, owner of photography company Red Dot Photo. The company, which has outlets in Funan and Geylang Road, sells AEE and GoPro wearable cameras (between $399 and $580) and has seen demand double year on year.He adds: "People use them when they go on holiday, snorkelling or even a walk in the park."Some people even use wearable儲存倉cameras for road surveillance.Since last June, property agent Alvin Lim, 37, has attached a Sony Action Cam onto his helmet whenever he goes cycling once or twice a week.He bought the camera after he was involved in an accident with a taxi while cycling in February last year.The driver claimed that it was Mr Lim's fault, while he thought otherwise. "It is easier to solve disputes with evidence. I use an in-car camera, so it made sense to get one for cycling too," says Mr Lim.Mr Rajesh Sreenivasan, 44, a partner at law firm Rajah & Tann, says: "Recordings taken with in-car cameras are often used as evidence in insurance claims. The video clip may not be definitive and still has to be examined. The same applies to clips taken with wearable cameras."People have to be careful about what they do with the photos and videos taken with wearable cameras. Recordings can contain personal data such as identifiable faces and while there is no overarching privacy act in Singapore, we do have a personal data protection act which could pose legal concerns if recordings are used in a certain way."But wearable cameras are most commonly used to document exhilarating moments.Retiree George Wong, 58, uses one to capture footage of the scenery on trips abroad.On a 14-day cycling tour in Tibet last year, he fixed his GoPro Hero2 to the bicycle handlebars. He edited several hours of footage into a holiday video.He says: "I captured different stretches of roads. There are basically three colours in Tibet - brown, blue and green. There is the pristine sky, the pastures and the mountainous land."cherylw@sph.com.sgNo one noticed my camera-suspendersWearable camera manufacturers provide numerous methods to attach their devices to your body. But all the options leave me in a fix.Having borrowed a GoPro Hero3+ camera and chest mount from GoPro distributor StreamCast Asia, I tried to decide how best to wear it while jogging.The black chest mount looked like a pair of trouser suspenders with the camera in the middle ofit.I looped my arms through the straps and adjusted it until I was comfortable. But wait, do I perch the camera above, on or below my bosom? I decided to position it inches above my stomach.Next: read the instruction manual for a crash course on how to operate the gadget. I did sprints around the living room to experiment how to use it.My hands kept appearing in the frame as I swung them up and down. I made a mental note to minimise arm movements.I took the camera out for a jog around Toa Payoh Central. Hoping to camouflage the camera and mount, I wore the contraption over a black singlet.I set the camera to take a video and pictures simultaneously, and started to jog.I expected to be greeted with raised eyebrows, but passers-by barely glanced at the gadget on me. I ran through the HDB Hub and passed rows of shops in Toa Payoh Central. Heartland aunties and uncles gave me the occasional curious look.Surprisingly, the 73g camera did not feel heavy or cumbersome at all.On my way home, I weaved through a crowd of parents and children near a kindergarten. Their presence reminded me of the privacy issues that have been raised about wearable cameras.What would people say if they knew I was secretly capturing images of them? Luckily, no irate parent stopped me to demand that I delete my clips or to rip off my chest cam.After the jog, I reviewed the recorded video clip and images. Due to the jogging movement, the video rocked from side to side, as though it had been attached to a rickety sampan in a storm.To make things worse, the pavement filled up 80per cent of the frames as I had unconsciously leaned forward while jogging, angling the camera downwards.The fabric of the singlet constantly brushed against the camera, leading to an annoying rustling sound that grated on the ears while the video played. Viewing the 15-minute unedited sequence, I felt queasy.Still, I am not writing off such cameras yet. An uneventful jog was probably not the best way to capture interesting footage, but just think what I could do with such a camera on travels abroad.Cheryl Faith Wee迷你倉最平

Source: Greeley Tribune, Colo.文件倉Jan. 10--Weld County health officials are encouraging residents to get a flu shot after two Weld residents died from complications related to the virus in just more than a month.The number of people who have been hospitalized with the flu in Weld since Jan. 1 has grown to 37. Flu season officially begins in October, and since then the county has seen 60 people hospitalized, county health department spokesman Eric Aakko said Thursday."This is typical to have increases (in diagnosed cases of the flu) this time of year," Aakko said. "The flu is highly unpredictable and some years can have several waves throughout the season."Aakko said the second flu death of the season happened within roughly the past week. He also said flu deaths aren't regularly tracked by the state so he couldn't say how that number compared to other areas.Last flu season, 126 people were hospitalized in Weld because of the flu. That number was a spike from the previous two flu seasons when 35 and 78 people were hospitalized in the 2011-12 and 2010-11 flu seasons, according to numbers from the health department. Since the beginning of this flu season, Larimer County had seen 34 hospitalizations as of Jan. 6.As of Jan. 4, a total of 748 hospitalizations for the flu had been reported statewide, predominantly from the H1N1 strain of the virus, which was responsible for the 2009 flu pandemic, according to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.The current flu vaccine contains antibodies to protect against the H1N1 strain, as well as two other strains of the disease.Aakko said the ongoing outbreak of pertussis -- commonly known as whooping cough -- throughout the county, state and nation, is making things more complicated."People might have a bad cough and a high fever, and it could be pertussis or the flu," Aakko said. "That's why we're telling pe存倉ple to get the flu vaccine. It's not too late. People certainly should get the pertussis vaccine, too. The two separate vaccines can help with the two diseases."He said vaccinations are available at the county health department, most pharmacies and through primary care physicians."There are no shortages we're aware of. Everyone seems to have enough (of the vaccine)," he said. "We want to stress that people stay home if they are sick, cover their cough, wash their hands, get adequate sleep and exercise and eat healthy."North Colorado Medical Center spokesman Gene Haffner said the hospital has seen an increase of emergency room visits with flu-like symptoms or respiratory-type illnesses so far in January. He said the hospital has 10 people admitted as inpatients who have tested positive for the flu.The state health department has mandated that all healthcare entities licensed by the department have their employees vaccinated against the flu, but it provides exemptions for employees who opt out on health or religious grounds.In anticipation of the flu season, Greeley-Evans School District 6 has done trainings with building managers to remind them of cleaning protocol during the cold and flu season and are reminding students and staff about covering their mouths when they cough and washing their hands often.If parents notice symptoms of sickness in their children, the district urges the parents to keep the children out of school and take them to a doctor, district spokeswoman Theresa Myers said."Sending them to school sick raises the risk of passing the illness on to other students or staff members," Myers said. "If (the illness) is caught early, doctors can alleviate the symptoms quicker."Copyright: ___ (c)2014 the Greeley Tribune (Greeley, Colo.)

【明報專訊】繼上周有疑似內地旅客步行進入紅磡海底隧道後,24小時迷你倉前日有內地自由行遊客踩單車闖入獅子山隧道。隧道管理公司發言人稱,前日下午一名內地遊客從九龍闖入獅隧往沙田,隧道職員在沙田收費亭外將之截停,並按《行車隧道(政府)條例》抄下其個人資料交運輸署跟進。職員截停抄證件運署跟進運輸署發言人稱,包括獅隧在內的6 條隧道均受《規例》監管,嚴禁在「隧道管制區域」內踩單車,違者最高可被罰款5000 元及監禁6個月,運輸署檢控組收到個案資料後將跟進。根據網上短片,一名單車客於隧道內沿左線貼近隧道行駛,其間有迷你倉旺角少貨櫃車等大型車輛擦身而過,險象環生。負責管理獅隧的越運亨(香港)有限公司發言人稱,前日一名內地自由行遊客從九龍闖入隧道往沙田,職員透過監察系統發現,即截停九龍入口車輛,並派員到隧道管內,惟不見該單車客蹤影。發言人續稱,後來一輛旅遊巴於沙田收費亭附近讓單車客下車,相信是旅遊巴司機於管道內將他接走。職員隨即上前截停他,並抄下其旅遊證件資料,按法例將資料轉交運輸署跟進。今次是公司自2012年接管隧道以來第二宗同類事件,上一次發生於去年4 月,一名外籍人士從九龍高速衝過獅隧往沙田,職員企圖攔截不果。mini storage

Source: Tulsa World, Okla.迷你倉出租Jan. 10--Next month's three train trips from the Tulsa area to Oklahoma City are a hot ticket; too hot, in fact, for anyone who waited."We are thrilled to announce that all three Eastern Flyer trips are sold out," said Charlotte Park, a representative for Iowa Pacific, the company sponsoring the train trips.The Eastern Flyer is the name given to three tourist train trips in February from Sapulpa to Oklahoma City. The rides are some of the first passenger train excursions offered on the stretch in 47 years.But for those who didn't get a ticket, the opportunity is gone. Iowa Pacific has managed to sell all 900 tickets in three weeks.Initially, the rail company expected to sell only about 300 tickets for the three trips, said Angela Arias, Iowa Pacific's vice president of marketing.Iowa Pacific is bringing its three retro style cars to Oklahoma for the trips, and the cars will be pulled by a Stillwater Central engine.Tickets on the Eastern Flyer ranged between $64 for a standard child's ticket up to $249 for dining service in the luxury, glass-dome roof car.The Eastern Flyer trips have become a rallying point for passenger rail advocates who want to see regular train service between Oklahoma City and Tulsa revived.The trains leave from downtown Sapulpa and arrive about three hours later in downtown Oklahoma City, using the state-owned Sooner Subdivision line. The 迷你倉rack is leased by Stillwater Central Railroad, another partner of the Eastern Flyer.But any future trips might be compromised by a proposal from the Oklahoma Department of Transportation to sell the 97.5-mile Sooner Sub line.The winding and crooked line needs major work to host higher-speed trains, and traffic is now limited to 30 to 40 mph over the length of the track.Iowa Pacific President Ed Ellis said his company is interested in regular service between Oklahoma City and Tulsa and has made an offer to the state of Oklahoma, but he said its requests have not been answered."Future trips depend on whether ODOT succeeds in extinguishing the right to run passenger trains," Ellis said.ODOT representatives say they have included provisions in the "request for proposal" that would allow passenger service on the Sooner Sub line in the event that it is sold.The Transportation Department is also in the midst of a study to determine demand for passenger rail service and what kind of upgrades would be needed to make the track feasible.Kyle Arnold 918-581-8380kyle.arnold@tulsaworld.comEastern FlyerWho: Operated by Iowa Pacific and Stillwater Central RailroadWhen: Feb. 9, 15, 23Where: Sapulpa-Oklahoma CityTickets: Sold outFor more: easternflyer.comCopyright: ___ (c)2014 Tulsa World (Tulsa, Okla.)

我對古老的電車是情有獨鍾的,迷利倉「叮叮……隆」,車輪與路軌摩擦的聲音,陣陣涼風由窗口飄進來,令我於繁忙的生活中獲得了片刻的寧靜。我喜愛香港的電車,到國外旅行也會特意乘坐當地電車,與香港的比較一下。數月前到訪葡萄牙,當然少不了參觀列為世界文化遺產的「阿法瑪」舊城區。但舊城區地方大,要遊遍城貌並不容易。但當地政府特意設置了一條旅遊電車路線二十八號。由於「阿法瑪」舊城區是建築於山丘之上,所以乘電車參觀是一個很不錯的方法。山城的路段十分狹窄,好像只適合單線行車,可是二十八號電車就是有辦法於小巷中穿梭,有時候甚至會看見兩架電車擦身而過。路旁的遊人則駐足觀賞,希望可以拍下兩架電車緊貼的畫面。另外一個迷你倉點是電車於斜路下來,轉彎經過里斯本大教堂,於車上除了可一睹經歷過海嘯和地震的里斯本大教堂外,於車外則可以拍下電車轉彎,如從教堂中衝出來的照片。雖然這路電車風景優美,收費也不昂貴,可是也有一些溫馨提示給予大家。如欲乘搭這路電車,建議由新城區的市中心總站出發,雖然你會看見長長的人龍,並且大多是遊客,只有少數本地人,可是總站應該是唯一登車的機會,因為遊客大多坐畢全程,中途不會下車。第二是這條路線會經過一個舊城區最高點,是俯瞰這個城市的最佳地點,可是鮮少有遊人發現這個觀景點,我也是經當地朋友介紹才知道這個地方。若然你只有一天時間在里斯本,我會推薦你乘坐這路二十八號電車,盡覽當地最有特色的風景。暉自存倉

Source: Albuquerque Journal, N.迷你倉M.Jan. 10--Quiet has descended again upon the case involving the mysterious death of prominent civil rights attorney Mary Han, which is likely the way those who have never spoken up about their roles in the controversial investigation into her death three years ago prefer it.It could get even quieter.In the clerk's minutes of a hearing held Jan. 2 on the civil lawsuit brought by Han's family against the city and Albuquerque Police Department personnel, attorneys for both sides agreed to a settlement conference Jan. 24 in Las Cruces before U.S. Magistrate Judge Gregory Wormuth.A settlement would effectively close down the best chance the public has to learn further details into how Han died, how her case was handled and who should be held accountable.The potential of a settlement comes with a warning from the city's attorneys that their clients are likely unwilling to offer much money but would be open to discussing "non-monetary relief," the minutes state.What might that be? An apology for how it mishandled the investigation into Han's Nov. 18, 2010, death, as the Han family claims? A bouquet of roses to say sorry for the audacious and disrespectful way the family says high-ranking members of APD and City Hall traipsed through Han's North Valley townhome? A gift certificate to a jewelry store to help pay a fraction of the cost of replacing Han's two diamond rings -- family heirlooms valued at $100,000 -- her relatives say disappeared that day?We can only speculate. Attorneys for both sides are mum on the matter.Even more mum than usual.The clerk's minutes also indicate that Stephen French, one of the attorneys representing the city folk, told the judge he was having a dispute with Han family attorney Rosario Vega Lynn over her chatting with the media on the possible settlement of the case.French is apparently referring to a comment Vega Lynn made to KOB-TV in a Dec. 20 news story in which she voiced concern over the lengthy litigious battle and how it may be time to settle so the focus returns to how Han lived, not how she died."Do a Google search on Mary Han, and the first thing that's going to come up, unfortunately, is this litigation," Vega Lynn said in the interview. "It's not going to be her cases; it isn't going to be the causes she brought forth when she was here and engaged in her work."The KOB story also included this response from City Attorney David Tourek, which Tourek's office confirmed this week to the Journal: "The ci迷你倉將軍澳y of Albuquerque is always willing to try and resolve cases that have merit, reasonably. The Han case is a frivolous lawsuit. We do not settle frivolous lawsuits."The clerk's minutes, however, make no mention of Tourek's comment but only of how French was apparently vexed with Vega Lynn's words.The judge, however, was not. According to the clerk's minutes, Wormuth said he didn't think Vega Lynn's comments were an issue but that French was free to submit a motion for sanctions against her.French did not return my calls and emails. Neither did Vega Lynn.It has always been thus in the Han case, this deafening silence.When Han was found oddly crumpled in the driver's seat of her BMW 330i parked in her garage, the numerous high-ranking officials with APD and City Hall who shuffled through her death scene were largely mum about what they were doing there and why so many of them had any business in the home of a woman who had sued the city, particularly the police force, for millions.Nine months later came a statement from the city's legal department saying that "public information personnel and police administrators were present to address questions from the local media."But few questions and fewer answers were given that day or any day since. That's due in part to Han's longtime law partner, Paul Kennedy, who minutes after finding Han's body had declared to a 911 operator that her death was an "accidental suicide."But Han's relatives pushed forward, saying they wanted the truth about what happened to Han, who at 53 was healthy and feisty and not someone they believe would kill herself with an extraordinarily high level of carbon monoxide.Based on the relatives' comments to the TV station, however, it appears they have reconsidered just how far they are willing to push. That, of course, is their prerogative. It is their civil lawsuit, and they owe the general public nothing more.But a public airing, should this lawsuit continue onward to trial, appears to be the best way to give her a modicum of justice, a clearer understanding, perhaps, of what went so horribly wrong.UpFront is a daily front-page news and opinion column.

3D軟體代理暨系統服務商實威國際(8416)2013年終繳交出漂亮的成績單,儲存自結12月營收為7,820萬元,年增3.99%。第四季營收約2.15億元,季增36.07%,累計全年營收為6.90億元,年增24.24%。實威在今年舉辦多項多產品線研討會,如資料檔案管理軟體、CAE工程分析軟體、電氣設計軟體和技術文件編寫軟體等。並於9月份發表SOLIDWORKS 2014新版本,上述產品線均達成2013年度預定目標套數,其中資料檔案管理軟體更大幅成長,顯示龐大的資料檔案管理便利性與資料重用開始受到重視。實威國際總經理許泰源表示,隨著3D列印技術的話題愈來愈火熱,實威國際也重新檢視自身產品線的完整性,除了持續強化3D設計與驗證分析兩大類產品線上的創新與服務,也將對3D列印與3D掃描產品線做更全面的評估及引進。實威在2013年營收創新高,更在12月達到巔峰,迷你倉司樂觀並期待今年銷售業績,並希望藉由軟、硬體產品線的完備,可提供製造業全方位的解決方案,更能縮短研發時間及成本花費。此外,實威國際積極參與各項行業展覽,展出適合各產業使用的3D設計、分析、加工軟體及3D列印機器,目的是期望各產業設計業者能逐漸向大趨勢的3D設計轉換,擺脫2D設計局限性,並透過模擬分析及新的3D列印技術,協助模具設計、產品打樣的快速開發。今年將更積極提供教育單位易用的軟硬體產品並輔導認證考試,讓學生畢業後能具備更多專業能力,投入企業界發揮所長。包括全球產業趨勢及實威公司本身,都看好未來3D列印市場成長,因此,實威增加不少人力投入研發,中國大陸及台灣2013年投入的人力已由去年7位增加至20多位,目前研發費用占比也拉高至25%。同時,藉由過去大陸的軟體布局,陸續將3D列印介紹至華南及華東,2014年則計畫在華北設立據點,持續開拓大陸市場。self storage
