JPEG shot by GRD4 with some in-camera adjustment.
I did the GRD4 in-camera jpeg test the whole afternoon. I got 2G jpeg+RAW files and also some interesting conclusion.
The "vividness" in personal setting can be seen as a "base", while the one in color setting can be seen as "fine adjustment" applied on the former base. So their relationship is like that: {10,20...90} and +/-10.
After all, any changement (color contrast vividness sharpness) in personal settings will not affect RAW output. The same with BW and TE. The in-camera WB calibration will affect RAW, however we can always restore it to exactly original value in post process software such as LR.
In our office, we have been discussing the values of the office for the past several months. We were asked to make a diagram about values. I decided to compare my personal values to those of the offices.
My values are the yellow ones. The offices's values are the blue ones. Where those values overlap, the value is in green. The size of the circle is determined by how much the value is worth. The circles around the values are assessments of where i think the values should be.
All in all, i think that this diagram shows how lucky i am to have a job that encompasses so many of my values.

shallow affect
psychopath test pclr
please score yourself 0 1 2 3 on each of the 20 items and record your score as a comment on the total score image
The PCL-R is a clinical rating scale (rated by a psychologist or other professional) of 20 items. Each of the items in the PCL-R is scored on a three-point scale according to specific criteria through file information and a semi-structured interview. A value of 0 is assigned if the item does not apply, 1 if it applies somewhat, and 2 if it fully applies. In addition to lifestyle and criminal behavior the checklist assesses glib and superficial charm, grandiosity, need for stimulation, pathological lying, conning and manipulating, lack of remorse, callousness, poor behavioral controls, impulsivity, irresponsibility, failure to accept responsibility for one's own actions and so forth. The scores are used to predict risk for criminal re-offence and probability of rehabilitation.
The current edition of the PCL-R officially lists four factors (1.a, 1.b, 2.a, and 2.b), which summarize the 20 assessed areas via factor analysis. The previous edition of the PCL-R[5] listed two factors. Factor 1 is labelled "selfish, callous and remorseless use of others". Factor 2 is labelled as "chronically unstable, antisocial and socially deviant lifestyle". There is a high risk of recidivism and currently small likelihood of rehabilitation for those who are labelled as having "psychopathy" on the basis of the PCL-R ratings in the manual for the test, although treatment research is ongoing.
PCL-R Factors 1a and 1b are correlated with narcissistic personality disorder and histrionic personality disorder. They are associated with extraversion and positive affect. Factor 1, the so-called core personality traits of psychopathy, may even be beneficial for the psychopath (in terms of nondeviant social functioning).
PCL-R Factors 2a and 2b are particularly strongly correlated to antisocial personality disorder and criminality and are associated with reactive anger, criminality, and impulsive violence. The target group for the PCL-R is convicted criminals. The quality of ratings may depend on how much background information is available and whether the person rated is honest and forthright.
[edit] The two factorsFactor 1: Personality "Aggressive narcissism"
Glibness/superficial charm
Grandiose sense of self-worth
Pathological lying
Cunning/manipulative
Lack of remorse or guilt
Shallow affect (genuine emotion is short-lived and egocentric)
Callousness; lack of empathy
Failure to accept responsibility for own actions
Factor 2: Case history "Socially deviant lifestyle".
Need for stimulation/proneness to boredom
Parasitic lifestyle
Poor behavioral control
Lack of realistic long-term goals
Impulsivity
Irresponsibility
Juvenile delinquency
Early behavior problems
Revocation of conditional release
Traits not correlated with either factor
Promiscuous sexual behavior
Many short-term marital relationships
Criminal versatility
Acquired behavioural sociopathy/sociological conditioning (Item 21: a newly identified trait i.e. a person relying on sociological strategies and tricks to deceive)
Early factor analysis of the PCL-R indicated it consisted of two factors. Factor 1 captures traits dealing with the interpersonal and affective deficits of psychopathy (e.g. shallow affect, superficial charm, manipulativeness, lack of empathy) whereas Factor 2 dealt with symptoms relating to antisocial behaviour (e.g. criminal versatility, impulsiveness, irresponsibility, poor behaviour controls, juvenile delinquency).
The two factors have been found by those following this theory to display different correlates. Factor 1 has been correlated with narcissistic personality disorder, low anxiety, low empathy, low stress reaction and low suicide risk but high scores on scales of achievement and well-being. In addition, the use of item response theory analysis of female offender PCL-R scores indicates factor 1 items are more important in measuring and generalizing the construct of psychopathy in women than factor 2 items.
In contrast, Factor 2 was found to be related to antisocial personality disorder, social deviance, sensation seeking, low socio-economic status[6] and high risk of suicide. The two factors are nonetheless highly correlated and there are strong indications they do result from a single underlying disorder. However, research has failed to replicate the two-factor model in female samples.
Recent statistical analysis using confirmatory factor analysis by Cooke and Michie indicated a three-factor structure, with those items from factor 2 strictly relating to antisocial behaviour (criminal versatility, juvenile delinquency, revocation of conditional release, early behavioural problems and poor behavioural controls) removed from the final model. The remaining items are divided into three factors: Arrogant and Deceitful Interpersonal Style, Deficient Affective Experience and Impulsive and Irresponsible Behavioural Style.
In the most recent edition of the PCL-R, Hare adds a fourth antisocial behaviour factor, consisting of those Factor 2 items excluded in the previous model. Again, these models are presumed to be hierarchical with a single unified psychopathy disorder underlying the distinct but correlated factors.
The Cooke & Michie hierarchical ‘three’-factor model has severe statistical problems—i.e., it actually contains ten factors and results in impossible parameters (negative variances)—as well as conceptual problems. Hare and colleagues have published detailed critiques of the Cooke & Michie model. New evidence, across a range of samples and diverse measures, now supports a four-factor model of the psychopathy construct,] which represents the Interpersonal, Affective, Lifestyle, and overt Antisocial features of the personality disorder.
Diagnostic criteria and PCL-R assessmentPsychopathy is most commonly assessed with the PCL-R, which is a clinical rating scale with 20 items. Each of the items in the PCL-R is scored on a three-point (0, 1, 2) scale according to two factors. PCL-R Factor 2 is associated with reactive anger, anxiety, increased risk of suicide, criminality, and impulsive violence.
PCL-R Factor 1, in contrast, is associated with extraversion and positive affect. Factor 1, the so-called core personality traits of psychopathy, may even be beneficial for the psychopath (in terms of nondeviant social functioning). A psychopath will score high on both factors, whereas someone with APD will score high only on Factor 2.
Both case history and a semi-structured interview are used in the analysis.

We live in a hyper-technological society in which family life is failing, a world where we can learn anything except how to be parents; how to raise children with values and limits, how to say No more often, how to discipline them.
It is said that we must raise children in freedom. No demands on them. Let them dictate their own rules and do as they please. These are well-intentioned mistakes whose consequences we are paying for daily: children and adolescents who run away, commit suicide, kill and drug themselves.
The absence of the mother in the home and the weakening of fatherly authority have become a central issue of a daily reality that threatens to destroy the family as an institution. Alone, in front of a computer our children grow up in a state of emotional emptiness. Consequently, they do not grow up. Christina Balinotti provides an enlightening handbook designed to show mothers (and fathers) how to lead and strengthen the family. It is a defense of the most important and significant event of human experience: parenthood.
Christina Balinotti is an Argentine author and lecturer. She holds a bachelor’s degree in the social sciences with graduate studies in Psychology including three years of special studies in Philosophy and Literature in her native Buenos Aires. She also has ample knowledge in the field of quantum physics.
She has resided in Miami since the year 2000, where she works as an international analyst on TV and Radio, investigating the crimes and suicides of our young people and their relationship to maternal absence during a child’s early years in this and in other developed societies.
Through her Foundation, Holistic Femininity, Christina Balinotti organizes conferences and annual workshops at several Florida universities (FIU, UM, SUAGM) as well as in important venues in Miami for the purpose of educating women in the essential recovery of family values and in the pathways of holistic femininity, all free of charge.
In 2013 she hosted a radio show at Radio Nova Internacional as well as a weekly TV Show at Telemiami in which she, together with other professionals, including sociologists, historians and psychologists, analyzed the role of women in Western cultures. Proud mother and grandmother.
Agriculture is the main stay of Uganda’s economy, however, the share of agriculture in the national Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has been declining steadily. In fiscal year 2009/10, agriculture contributed only 14.6% to the national GDP of which 1.3% was attributed to the livestock sub-sector. The dairy industry is estimated to contribute more than 50% of the total output from the livestock sub-sector. The dairy industry employs many people who are engaged in various economic activities along the dairy value chain, particularly in milk production, collection, bulking and transportation, processing, distribution and marketing as well as provision of inputs and support services.
The township of Stone Hut, which takes its name from a hut that marked a changing place for mail horses in the early days when mails were taken by coach from Adelaide to Port Augusta, and other northern towns, situated about halfway between Laura and Wirrabara was en fete on Wednesday.
The occasion was the laying of the foundation stone for a soldiers' memorial hall, which when completed will be a fine memorial not only to the men and lads of the district who responded to the call of king and country, but also to the whole-hearted united efforts of a comparatively small community. Plans and specifications for the hall, which provides for a main assembly hall, were prepared by Mr C G Maywald, of Laura. The residents of the district are providing, free of cost to the committee, all the sandstone and gravel required for the building. The hall will cost about £700. Messrs J H Acott (mason work) and C G Maywald (carpentering) are the contractors.
Mrs W T Baker laid the foundation stone by reason of her long association with the township, and particularly in view of the fact that three of her sons were among the early volunteers for service with the AIF abroad: two of whom made the supreme sacrifice.
Mrs Baker, who was presented with an inscribed silver trowel, performed the ceremony. Addresses were given by the Mayor of Laura (Mr J Watt) and Mr N L McLeod (head teacher Stone Hut School).
Donations amounting to £34 15/ were placed on the stone.
Afternoon tea and a dance followed.
Messrs J H Acott and C G Maywald gave the marble tablet for the foundation stone. [Register 27-7-1925]
SOLDIERS' MEMORIAL HALL AT STONE HUT
On Wednesday [24 March] at Stone Hut, a soldiers' memorial hall was opened. The site is on the main road.
The structure includes a main assembly hall 30ft. by 60 ft, of which 13 ft. has been reserved for stage purposes, and an anteroom 10ft x 38 ft.
Up to date the expense incurred in connection with the building and furnishing of the hall, which includes a piano, is £1,057. When the celebration proceedings were begun on Wednesday afternoon the amount owing was: £300 – a wonderful performance for such a small community. This has been made possible only through wholehearted cooperation of all the residents, the ladies having played a very prominent part. If to the amount above stated, even on conservative lines, is added the value of material donated and work done, the building, with its furnishing, represent an outlay of about £2,000, and the committee is hopeful that as a result of their effort on Wednesday and the returns from the luncheon and afternoon tea booth at the Laura Races on Easter Monday, to have the whole free of debt.
The opening ceremony was performed by the Hon A P Blesing, MLC, Mr H W Inglis (secretary and treasurer) gave a brief account of the movement which had been brought to such a successful issue. The Hon A P Blesing MLC congratulated the people of Stone Hut on the success of their efforts.
In a spacious marquee at the rear of the hall … afternoon tea and supper were provided.
Supper and a dance followed, music being supplied by Mrs H R Neale, of Murray Town. The gross proceeds amounted to about £180, and it is anticipated that £150 will be paid into the credit of the funds as the result of the celebrations.

IHTSW!?! Valued Item
Find a valued item - it doesn't have to be a material possession, but one that means something to you - and share it and it's meaning with us...
WIT: I value furnaces and homes that keep us warm. Although the calendar says Autumn, winter has arrived where I live. I took this picture out the spare room window as the sun came up this past week. In PP, very little. Minor adjustments in RAW conversion, removed light standard and slight crop.
The cat (Felis catus), also known as the domestic cat or housecatto distinguish it from other felines and felids, is a small carnivorous mammal that is valued by humans for its companionship and its ability to hunt vermin and household pests. It has been associated with humans for at least 9,500 yearsand is currently the most popular pet in the world.A skilled predator, the cat is known to hunt over 1,000 species for food. It can be trained to obey simple commands. Individual cats have also been known to learn on their own to manipulate simple mechanisms, such as doorknobs and toilet handles.Cats use a variety of vocalizations and types of body language for communication, including meowing, purring, trilling, hissing, growling, squeaking, chirping, clicking, and grunting.They are also bred and shown as registered pedigree pets. This hobby is known as cat fancy.Until recently the cat was commonly believed to have been domesticated in ancient Egypt, where it was a cult animal. A study in 2007 found that the lines of descent of all house cats probably run through as few as five self-domesticating African Wildcats (Felis silvestris lybica) circa 8000 BC, in the Near East. The earliest direct evidence of cat domestication is a kitten that was buried with its owner 9,500 years ago in Cyprus.
Il gatto domestico (Felis silvestris catus) è un mammifero carnivoro di piccola taglia della famiglia dei felidi (genere Felis). Tradizionalmente l'antico Egitto e Mesopotamia viene indicato come luogo di origine, dove era considerato un animale sacro e, in alcuni casi, mummificato e messo nei sarcofagi delle famiglie più ricche. Un recente studio, pubblicato sulla rivista Science, ha evidenziato, attraverso studi genetici, che tale luogo andrebbe individuato nel Medio Oriente; precisamente nella mezzaluna fertile. Tutto ciò in coincidenza con lo sviluppo delle prime forme di agricoltura. Fu l'uomo, si presume nello studio, a favorire la diffusione del felino portandolo con lui nelle migrazioni. Si può trovare allo stato selvatico (ne esistono ancora diverse specie), ma prevalentemente vive nell'ambito domestico e spesso ha ruolo di animale da affezione. La sua temperatura corporea oscilla fra i 38° e i 38,5 °C; la frequenza respiratoria normale è di 10/20 respiri al minuto e quella cardiaca di 110/140 battiti al minuto. Il suo corpo è agile, flessibile e massiccio, tale da consentirgli di camminare in modo silenziosissimo e di spiccare grandi salti; le sue unghie retrattili (più precisamente protrattili, dato che nella condizione ordinaria di riposo si trovano nascoste e sono estratte solo all'occorrenza) gli permettono di arrampicarsi con grande agilità .

Sleight Of Mind Set
What Materials Do You Get?
Book Your Place
Hi,
Perspective is Everything is a talk by Rory Sutherland see link below, his theme is that psychological value is one of the most important areas of value. The Sleight of Mind Set Workshops pick up on these ideas, they are one day workshops all about learning, understanding and applying Mind Magic (Mentalism) and Psychological Artistry to what you do. The SMS day is about adding psychological value to you. For more information on this, please see mindsways.com/SMS/
Perspective is Everything - Adding Psychological Value
In Perspective Is Everything, ad-man Rory Sutherland gives us an interesting and entertaining take on the themes of Psychological Artistry. (Please be aware, there is strong language in this video from the beginning) Please go to www.mindsways.com/SMS/#Perspective and let me know what you think. In summary, he says;
Things are not what they are; they are what we think they are
Things are also what we compare them to
Psychological value is the best kind of value
Value is composed of three parts Technological, Economic and Psychological
This whole idea of adding psychological value to what you do is the chief aim of Psychological Artistry ; combining psychological solutions and approaches with ideas to your delivery. The focus of the Sleight of Mind Set workshop is to add psychological value to your delivery.
Maya Angelou: I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
Being an effective communicator has very little to do with what you have to say, and everything to do with what people say about you. Psychological Artistry, the Sleight of Mind Set workshop and the SNT kit provokes you into becoming the talking point of a conversation. It's impossible to escape the force of impact that floating a note with your bear hands gives you when united with your compelling message.
By using the right techniques, anyone can:
Capture and maintain attention
Become more engaging
Demonstrate psychological value
Create meaningful interactions
Are you looking to learn something different that you can use in your delivery? Are you also looking for that rare thing that's new, engaging and makes you stand out? On the Sleight of Mind Set Workshop, we will give you the tools, ideas and materials that capture the scarcest resource we have in today's world: attention.
Psychological Artistry - Perception and Insight
A fascinating example of perspective and insight is shown in a well-known Fred Astaire clip, click here to see it. Perspectives determine how we:
View and interpret our experiences
Make decisions
Filter our insights
Govern our assumptions
Act and behave
It is this unseen primary influence that magicians know and understand and use very well.
Interesting examples of how all is not as it appears are the McGurk effect and Prof Richard Wiseman's "The Incredible Colour Changing Card Effect". Please take a look here or go to mindsways.com/SMS. I would love to know what you think. These illustrate both the power and the approach of Psychological Artistry.
Out Style Of Delivery: Edutrainment
Over the past 2 years, I have noticed a significant and fascinating new movement in the worlds of mentoring, training, teaching, consulting, coaching, management, therapy and many other areas. In all of these fields, the ability to work on a face-to-face basis and include Mind Magic and Psychological Artistry dramatically increases interest in you and your message, as well as your skill set, reputation and sales figures. To see some of the many success stories, please see here. It is this philosophy and principle that the Sleight of Mind Set workshop is based on, and it's this that makes you:
Stand Out
Grab and Hold Attention
Be More Interesting
Help Others
Engage More
As well as learning the effects, you can also learn valuable lessons from mind magic about how we think, act and behave. Mind Magic, as well as being entertaining and fascinating, can also be used to illustrate and understand human nature and our psychology. Using Psychological Artistry in your delivery adds both the spice of excitement and taps into this enduring popularity of magic and psychology. To see what others have said, please go to mindsways.com/about/what-people-say

Seated Buddha, Tang dynasty (618–906), ca. 650
China
Dry lacquer with traces of gilt and polychrome pigments
Buddhist images executed in dry lacquer were highly valued by the Chinese because of their costly and time-consuming process of production. There are so few surviving examples that this seated Buddha is especially precious. To fashion the body of the image, the craftsman made a rough form of the sculpture in clay and then applied at least three layers of hemp cloth, each secured with a paste made of raw lacquer (the sap from the lac tree, Rhus verniciflua) and a fine powder of bone, horn, shell, ceramic, stone, or carbon. Each layer had to dry thoroughly before the next could be added. The clay core was then removed from the lacquered image. The head and hands were likely modeled separately, using the same technique as that used for the body, and then attached to the sculpture. The surface was finished with several coatings of pure lacquer and then painted.
Portrayed as a youthful figure, the Buddha sits in the full lotus position, with his legs tightly interlocked, though the lower part of the sculpture is missing. The position of the damaged arms suggests that the hands performed the gesture of contemplation. The columnar form and lean gracefulness of the figure recall the style of Buddhist sculpture of the late Period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties (386–589), but the attempt to render anatomical differentiation and, in particular, the emotional impact of the Buddha's expression are distinguishing features of early Tang style. The traces of brilliant red and blue, vividly combined to form a stylized floral pattern in the hem of the undergarment crossing the chest, and the remains of shimmering gilt on the surface are evidence of the sumptuous effect of this once colorful figure.

The top value for round 4 is a spectacular $5000! Note the red numbers on the wedge.
Also note this was a value on Aussie Wheel's 5000th episode. This was the only episode where a value greater than $2500 existed on Aussie Wheel, apart from the Million Dollar Wedge from the short-lived 2008 revival.
