Do you know the chickens that lay your eggs? Do you know in what condition they live? Do you know what they eat? Do you know the farmer who grows your vegetables? Do you know about his methods? Do you know about his soil? Do you get your vegetables as soon as they are harvested? Do you know where your meat comes from (if you eat meat)? Have you chatted with the farmer who runs the farm? Do you know his practices? Have you seen how the animals live? Are treated? Find their end?
In former times we knew how all of this worked. Then we lost touch because we went shopping at the supermarket. But when the kids start to believe that eggs, or meat, or apples come from the supermarket it's time to go visit a farm and talk to the farmer.

Our guests don't have to go far to enjoy one of the finest dive sites in Indonesia. Wakatobi Resort's House Reef has been named the world's best shore dive. This site is a favorite with our guests, who will discover a diverse wealth of marine life and underwater landscapes just a few fin strokes from the beach. In fact, the House Reef top is so prolific that many photographers run out of dive time before they run out of subject matter. The House Reef’s drop-off is just 80 meters in front of the resort, making it easy for divers to make a wall dive followed by a shallow safety stop day or night.
The House Reef can be explored at any tide. There are periods of slack water at both high and low tide, while mild to medium currents can run along the outer reef slope during tide changes. This allows divers the opportunity to drift along the reef face at various speeds while exploring its beauty. At high tide you can enter or exit the water at numerous points along the beach, while at low tide the most convenient entry and exit points are the jetty ladder or the canyon (known as "second gully") in front of the resort restaurant. When currents on the House Reef are flowing on the stronger side, our dive center team will make recommendations for alternatives that might be more suitable to each individual guest.
At several shallow areas to either side of the resort's jetty, divers and snorkelers will first gently drift over an area completely covered in lush sea grass. This is a superb macro site to find a myriad variety of wondrous critters. Then, some 40 to 50 meters offshore, coral heads begin to appear, and the outer part of the House Reef is completely covered with carpets of both hard and soft corals. At it's outer edge, the reef drops abruptly from depths of less than two meters to more than 40, providing divers with a chance to perform multi-level dives and extend bottom times accordingly.
Our House Reef continues to both sides of the resort to encompass an area more than three miles in length that includes shallow grass beds, coral heads and slopes, wall sections, overhangs and ridges. We offer a taxi boat service that allows guests to explore the House Reef up to 500 meters north of the jetty, a section, which is beyond normal swimming range of the resort. Sites on the outer edges of the House Reef are accessed by our regular dive boats. Simply let one of our dive center team know that you and a buddy (or a group of up to six divers) wish to go out with a taxi boat. From here our team will handle all logistics, assisting with every need. Once at the drop point a simple back roll over the side will begin your dive while the taxi boat returns to the beach. The dive location will be chosen so that the current will bring you back to the resort. You can then exit the water at the end of our jetty (or on any part of the beach) where our staff will be standing by to assist with cameras and dive gear.
All dives made on the House Reef are monitored by our shore-based staff via both a log-in procedure and visual monitoring. The team stands ready to come to the aid of any diver who is unable to return to the exit point, or signals that they wish to end their dive and receive a pick up. Private guides may be available to accompany divers on beach dives and taxi boat dives. Taxi boat service is available from 6:00 am until 5:30 pm, and night dives are also monitored by our shore-based staff until 10:00 pm.

I took my old car, 1976ish Buick Limited, into Pittsburgh for a concert, when I wasn’t allowed, especially with a group of teenage friends. We got lost in a bad section of Pittsburgh, illegally parked my car at a shady convenience store, to only find the night got worse when my car wouldn’t start. Then, we accepted a ride to an auto parts store to purchase a new battery from a homeless man living in his car, which he may or may not have stolen. We made it to the auto parts store and headed back to my friends who stayed behind with the broken down vehicle, in the middle of the ghetto, in the middle of the night. Oh yeah, the homeless man’s car had no breaks. He used his emergency break to stop. I think that about sums up the last post. It only gets better from here.
Our homeless man, or more accurately, the man living in his car, drove a little fast, as per the speed limit signs, and definitely too fast considering we had no real means to stop. Suddenly, another obstacle struck us, or I should say we struck her. What looked like a woman, dressed in stilettos, a micro mini skirt, and big hair, staggered in front of us. Naturally, what else could make my story more colorful than a stranger appearing out of nowhere, to make contact with a moving vehicle, with no breaks! Granted, we weren’t cruising at top speeds, but we were certainly in motion, and remained there despite the pedestrian.
Our driver used his emergency break to come to a stop, but not before we nudged her. I know it wasn’t right, but we barely grazed this unconcerned night walker, who just walked in front of a moving vehicle. Well, she wasn’t have having any of it, and showed her disdain by punching the hood of the car. Then, our driver pushed the gas peddle, throwing her up on the hood, before using the emergency break again, throwing the stranger from the car. What? YES! Can you imagine my shock? I was mortified!
Please understand I never grew up around any alternative lifestyle, let alone knew what an alternative lifestyle was, or witnessed actions such as this one, meaning yelling out of a car at someone!
Again, what I thought was a lady, correction, I thought she was a prostitute, was not. I sat there speechless, craning my neck to look over the hood of the car, trying to find life, hoping she wasn’t dead.
Eventually, what seemed like an hour later, the night walker got up, looked around, and stumbled a little. To add to the terror, our angry driver began honking the horn and yelling out the window to get her to move. Then, he started muttering a few words, one being transvestite. Transvestite? What? Again, I’m a small town gal from Latrobe, who believed that a transvestite was a fictional character on television like a vampire, or an urban legend. Instantly, my attention left our driver, my eyes grew three times the size, and I began to really examine the lady/guy standing in front of us, in the middle of the road, completely forgetting she/he was just hit by us.
Still staggering, she/he appeared to be either completely intoxicated or on drugs, or both. The gal/guy stumbled to the passenger side of the door, where Sefo sat with the window down (allowing me to get air before I puked). Why that side, and not the side of the verbal driver? No clue. Aside from the staggering, which was evident before impact, our hit and run victim seemed unscathed. The next thing I remembered, she/he tried to punch Sefo! What did he do? Sefo leaned into me, to put some distance between his shoulder and the staggering fist. Luckily, our driver’s reflexes were quicker. The homeless man, correction, the man who lived in his car, hit the gas, leaving my first transvestite encounter in the dust. I mean Bruce Jenner (Caitlyn) wasn’t all over the news. My heart was racing and never slowed down. I looked at Sefo with wide eyes, expecting him to tell me all will be fine, that is until I saw his reaction. It was exactly like mine! Maybe a little more since he was in the line of direct fire.
Our unconventional hero of sorts, the homeless man who lived in his car, held true to his word and took us back to our friends and my broken car, almost safely. We had a battery, now what?
It appears the craziness is nearly behind us, right? That’s what I thought. How could it get worse?
Would you believe we never thought about tools! I didn’t have any, and our homeless man didn’t either. Personally, I thought with all that junk in the car, he’d at least have a screwdriver? Nope. Now what?
While we were off hitting, literally the night life, (pun intended), my friends took a walk to a local hangout to use the restrooms. They traveled down the street and came upon a gay bar. Again, please keep in mind, times were very different back then, and my innocence was not ready for the reality of the world aside from my own personal corner of Latrobe. My friends told me all about the sights they saw. What did they witness? No idea. I wasn’t paying attention in the slightest. It was at that moment, I started to hear ringing in my ears and I felt lightheaded. I was breathing heavy and the world was in slow motion. It was so surreal. The last thing I wanted was to put my friends in any sort of danger or crazy situation. Although, I will admit, they didn’t seem to mind and weren’t bothered by anything at all, except Sefo, rightfully so. I can’t imaging hitting anybody, let alone a transvestite with a car was normal.
Sefo told our tale to everyone, and it was at that point, I knew changes needed to made, immediately. What did I decide? I instructed a few of my friends to call their parents to come and get them, while I stayed with the car and figured out how to get it home. The idea of a tow truck did lurk in the back of my mind, but remember, I was about 30 to 40 miles away from Latrobe. I probably could have called a tow, but to travel that distance would have cost me a fortune, and I didn’t have much cash left. Reality, I didn’t even have that much cash in my bank account. Well, naturally my friends wouldn’t leave, so we all pulled up a seat along the curb discussing our next plan of action. Sometime in there, our homeless man who lived in his car departed without incidence.
Please note, it’s now probably about two in the morning and I had my Cinderella driver’s license.
Just then, a beat up truck pulled into the parking lot. Remaining consistent with our seemingly poor judgement, someone got up and asked the gentleman for assistance. This time, we simply asked for tools to install the brand new battery. He had tools! Now we’re in business.
Giving this new stranger, who was obviously drunk, a few bucks to change out the battery, he did so, with the help of our candles. One might wonder just how I was going to explain a brand new battery to my dad, and I thought about that. I’d tell him the truth. I had to have a new one installed since the old one died. Done!
Feeling hopeful, I jumped in the driver’s seat to turn over the engine. Nothing! Are you kidding me? No almost. No turning over and grinding. No attempt at trying. Nothing. Oh doubly crap! It wasn’t the battery after all! Now what?
Our situation got even worse, and I didn’t have the money for a tow the whole way to Latrobe.
Now a second minor problem. What was I going to do with a brand new battery?
Take it back of course! Keep in mind, I had no idea where this auto parts store was located, or how to get there. Personally, after the situation with the staggering transvestite, my mind was wiped clear of all awareness and reality. How would we know where to go? I got it! I had the receipt containing the name of the auto parts store. Would it be open? It was worth a try.
Unbeknownst to our drunk driver, he was about to be added to our nightly events. Sefo asked him to give us a lift back to the auto parts store. Not knowing if the store was closed or not, me and Sefo jumped back into another stranger’s vehicle, this time we knew his full story, or at least the pertinent details, he was clearly drunk. We took a ride from whence we came, for a small fee of course. Driving like a manic, actually like a blind man, we departed, not knowing if we’d make it back, leaving our friends in the ghetto. Who was safer?

Sorry you're having issues with setting the camera.
If you're able to provide some more detail on you're trying to achieve and what is happening, we should be able to advise you.
Let us know the name of it and the issue you're having with the camera and we can take a look at it for you.
That is not the "only right way" to work, but it is one way to maintain better control over the zooming and avoid accidental zooming by the program.
Joe, I've uploaded the file to the cloud. It's called 'cost of bad data.' I'm trying to create individual scenes, each with a picture and text. After each scene, the camera should move to the next scene with the prior one no longer visible.
Mike, I'll try your suggestion and I've 'liked' it as an enhancement suggestion.
From what I can see you have selected all the elements on your canvas and set them with the same camera position.
I would suggest that you clear the camera positions off all the items to begin with.
Next when you go to create your first scene, make sure that all of these elements are in view of the canvas.
You can do this by using a mouse wheel or the buttons in the bottom left of the canvas.
When you have all the elements of your first scene visible on the canvas you can then select them all (for Windows hold down Ctrl and click on these items in the timeline).
Once they are selected, you can then press the set camera option.
I have save a copy of the scribe where I have done this (you may need to edit this).
I have also shared with you a quick video, showing me doing this on your scribe.
Hi again. Joe, thanks so much for your follow up. I looked at the vidoe and I understand what to do, yeah! Appreciate your help. I'm a fan.

Interesting criteria… But some of these books when new are going to be quite high in the Google rankings, but give them a couple months and they will most likely fall in popularity… I would think you’d need to trend this for several months to a years to gauge the lasting popularity of the person in question.
@Chris: see, that’s the beauty of Google searches for peoples’ name – it sort of ranks how popular they are overall, not just the book.
It helps people who have been talked-about for awhile before a book was written about them, but it hurts people like Nujood Ali and Robin Olds, who might only be known because of their books. It would be interesting to track search returns over time, but I try to do that with Amazon sales rank too, and it’s a pain.
And yes, 4,280,000 for “Rush Limbaugh” means he’s almost twice as popular as Jenny Sanford.
I figure biographies don’t usually have a very long shelf life. Of course I want ones with good reviews that are about historical figures that students need to know about, or people who like a meaty nonfiction book might be interested in. These bios generally have a long shelf life, though perhaps not high circulation stats. They will be useful for years.
However, I also want to try to satisfy kids who want to read about their favorite sports star or the woman who peruses “People” magazine and sees an interesting book there. This second category of biographies is the one that I figure will not last long. They’ll go out while they’re new and in the news but not much after that.
Yes, budgets are tight and we need to get the most out of our dollars, but your dilemma about buying biographies illustrates that fine line between giving patrons what they need and giving them what they want. In both cases, I have been more choosy about what I buy while hopefully satisfying most readers.
That’s classic! i ahve to admit I ahve googled my name afew times 🙂 not that important in the eyes of google.
Brian – I think your strategy for celebrity memoirs is a good one.
As a quantitative minded person, I like the thinking behind this approach. Lots of hits on google and you’re likely to be interesting to readers.

FireEye, a Milpitas, Calif.-based enterprise security specialist, has launched a small business security product to help new SMBs combat advanced threats and fend off determined hackers.
One of those needs is computer security expertise, a rarity on SMB payrolls.
Small business owners often don't consider their companies worthy of a hacker's attention to warrant investing heavily in IT security or hiring professionals. After all, hackers make headlines when they pull off major scores like the recent data breach that may have affected 40 million credit and debit cards used at Target.
As tempting as big retailers and companies are to cybercriminals, SMBs are more likely to end up becoming a hacker's target, said Gupta. He cited figures from Verizon's data breach report that revealed that 77 percent of cyber-attacks were directed at small businesses.
Even if an SMB has the budget to hire a computer security pro, good luck finding one. "There are so few of such people available in the market," and the few looking for work are quickly snapped up by big companies with big budgets.
Small business owners, by and large, are also "very focused on scaling their business, they don't necessarily have the time and the resources to [combat] these advanced threats," said Gupta. So it's not uncommon for small businesses to cobble together a few security solutions like anti-malware and firewalls in the hopes of keeping cybercriminals—who are increasingly enlisting Web, email and mobile technologies—at bay.
"That in and of itself isn't sufficient," said Gupta. "You also need intelligence." FireEye provides that intelligence in the form of virtual machine-based monitoring and its own security researchers, who are trained to connect the dots and to expose sophisticated attempts at accessing a company's data. "If we see an advanced threat in your organization, we pick up the phone," he said.
The company's FireEye NX series security appliances provide the Web threat protection. Designed to prevent Web-based attacks, NX systems—and their underlying security software—guard against zero-day exploits and multi-protocol callbacks.
FireEye helps SMBs combat phishing and other email scams with EX series systems or a cloud-based alternative. On the mobile device front, the company offers a cloud service prevents smartphones and tablets from spilling company secrets to malicious apps, particularly on the Android operating system.
The Android platform's openness, the very benefit that made Google's software the dominant mobile operating system, "also makes it an attractive target for the hackers," said Gupta. A common tactic used by mobile developers to monetize their apps is to include third-party ad code. Unfortunately, he reported, a "malicious library of ads" has been making the rounds.
There is a "whole host of applications in Google Play, that the developers did not intend to be malicious," said Gupta. Apps containing such potentially dangerous code have been downloaded 200 million times, he estimated.
Available now, Oculus also provides continuous monitoring, remote health checks and Cybercon Reports, which the company describes thusly: "Vertical-specific threat information provides a more comprehensive view of the landscape so SMBs are better prepared to manage risk in their specific threat environment."
In a statement, Gupta said his company's technology allows SMBs to "obtain a simple and scalable security solution for advanced threats to safeguard corporate assets and drive down business risks." Customers can mix and match Oculus' capabilities to best suit their needs and budgets, he added.
"SMBs will enjoy an unmatched advanced-threat protection solution with continuous monitoring to augment their limited resources," said Gupta.

The words alcohol and America don’t sit comfortably together in my mind. Understandably, since my father fell hard to alcoholism while living his last years in a kooky town on the Californian coast, which had only one way in, and one way out… He was also addicted to prescription drugs, which he bought by the ton-load over the Internet.
But there is another connection between the US and alcohol in my psyche: an American gave me my first alcoholic drink. I was four years old. She was a neighbour, and had a birthday party for her daughter; having recently moved from the States, she got her Apple Juice and Apple Cider mixed up. When my mum came to pick me up some hours later, I was lying beneath the living room table: I staggered home along the pavement, my fairy wings bent.
These are two defining moments: I won’t go back to California after the hellish week my brother and I spent trying to get my father into a rehabilitation centre, after the nightmare of negotiating his medical bills after the fourth or fifth overdose; and one could argue that the said American introducing me to alcohol gave me a taste, which I abused somewhat through my adolescence and 20s… But these are both other stories. Though the two events popped up in my mind last night after a conversation I had at a dinner party at the weekend. It was about the Little Angel Marionette Theatre’s production of the ‘Very Old Man with Enormous Wings’. The comment was made by an American mother at my daughter’s school who had taken her son to the performance, but had been shocked at what she saw were ‘inappropriate’ scenes that involved copious drinking. I should add here that the Little Angel Marionette Theatre is a puppet theatre, and is primarily a family venue, though some performances are more grown-up than others. This one welcomed a minimum age of six.
The moral is that the village turns into a money-making tourist trap and everyone becomes corrupted, even the priest who turns to cocktails and ends up getting jiggy with the village woman (please keep in mind that they are puppets, so you wouldn’t call this explicit). I was a bit sleepy at this point and lulled by the dark auditorium, put my head back and had a little snooze. So when American mother questioned me about the scene my response was to dismiss it: ‘Oh, it would have gone straight over my daughter’s head.’ But it did get me thinking, particularly as I have witnessed the destruction of alcohol first hand. On going home I read Marquez’s story and saw that the production company had changed the setting from Marquez’s Spain to a British seaside town, and that the boozy bit was also an addition. Who, after all, would hang out in a British seaside town without a bit of booze and brawl?
I walked away from the dinner party thinking it was important that I acknowledge the possible insidious affects of this kind of performance on the tender mind of my young daughter, but I was also sorry that it took away from the overall magic of the story. The puppets were sublime, particularly that of the old man. What a beautiful ending when he finally stretches his wings and reaches out to the sky, and escapes the community who had judged him, used him, and kept him caged.

I was shocked when I went to university at the blatant advertising of drink, and getting drunk, from freshers’ week to discounted nights in the Union. It’s like, university prepares you for life, work, fending for yourself, supposedly, but does it also prepare you for going out every night with your mates and drinking tons of beers and being the last man standing? I didn’t even question it till my dad fell ill, then I had a totally different perspective on what I had spent the past 15 odd years of my life doing – basically getting drunk.

BookYourHunt is very proud to support the flagship of conservation by sponsoring one of North America’s longest-running celebrations of big-game conservation and management – the Boone and Crockett Club 29th Big Game Awards, scheduled for July 14-16, 2016 in Springfield, Missouri.
The history of the Boone and Crockett Club is a tale of over 100 years of measured and thoughtful commitment to conservation. It is a commitment that balances human needs with wildlife needs; a commitment that sees deep value in preserving the hunting tradition, as well as in conserving wildlands and wildlife; a commitment that grows out of a powerful love of wildlife, but that is also shaped by a common-sense, business-like approach to managing natural resources. Theodore Roosevelt was a firsthand witness to the near decimation of one of our nation’s most valuable resources – its wildlife. When he committed himself to restoring America’s wildlands he did so with characteristic zeal. Founding the Boone and Crockett Club was one of his first steps.
The triennial Boone and Crockett Club 29th Big Game Awards will take place at the Bass Pro Shops flagship store in Springfield. More information on the Boone and Crockett Club 29th Big Game Awards is available at www.biggameawards.com.
Outfitters listed on BookYourHunt are vetted and verified to ensure reliability and 100% legal and ethical hunts. To help with this, BookYourHunt has partnered with Professional Hunter, Guide/Outfitter and Conservation associations around the world. BookYourHunt continues to grow and expand its offerings with the goal of being the go-to site for hunters looking to expand their horizons.

Sohodox now has a new logo. So we made changes to the application to include the new logo.
Minor bugs have been fixed in this version of Sohodox.
Sohodox Drive appears like any other drive in Windows Explorer and the File Open box. If you need to access a file from any Windows application, the Sohodox drive like the other drives on Windows Explorer, will be available giving you access to all the documents that you are authorized to view. And that’s not all, with Sohodox Drive you can easily attach documents from the repository when you reply to email messages. Sohodox Drive allows you to access folders, tags as well as various document types. You can also view, search and edit documents using this drive.
Capture folders are special folders which allow you to quickly add documents to Sohodox without opening the Sohodox Desktop Client. You can create and multiple folders to capture documents and add them to Sohodox directly. Each folder can be associated with a DB and a Destination Profile. The Capture Folders can then be used when adding documents via other modules like Sohodox Drive, Send To and Virtual Printer.
For users upgrading from an older version of Sohodox, Folder Monitor has now been renamed to Local Capture Folder.
Sohodox Mobile App is now available for Android and iOS based mobile devices. With a , simple, beautiful and responsive user interface, the app makes navigation quick and easy. Folders, Tags, Document Types and Stack Types are all available at your finger tips! The app allows users to access, view, delete and download files. The app can be downloaded from the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store.
Sohodox Virtual Printer lets you print any file from any Windows application and save it as a PDF file in Sohodox. You can easily print and add receipts of online transactions and reports from other applications as PDF files in Sohodox.
Sohodox now works with SQL Server Express 2012 Edition.Earlier versions of Sohodox created and used a MS Access based database for storing indexing data and other information about the files you have added. To support the new features in version 9 and to support features planned for the future we decided to move a more robust database.
Microsoft SQL Server Express 2012 is free to use and uses the same technology as Microsoft SQL Server 2012 which is an Enterprise grade database used for mission critical applications.
This change means better performance and reliability. Also for customers who have been using Sohodox for years, it means a much higher database size limit than MS Access.
Using the Send To Sohodox option, you can quickly add files to Sohodox without opening the Sohodox Desktop Client. All you have to do is just right click on the file you want to add to Sohodox and select the Send To Sohodox option. A list of Capture Folders will be displayed. Select the folder you want to add it to. The document will now be added to Sohodox and categorized.
Sohodox Server is a service which runs in the background when Sohodox is installed. By default it runs under port 7733. The Server needs to be running for Sohodox Desktop Client and all other modules including the Sohodox Mobile App to work.
Users upgrading from an older version of Sohodox will experience a change in the Login dialog. The Login dialog is designed in such a way that The Sohodox Desktop Client and all modules like Virtual Printer, Send To and Sohodox drive will use the same login credentials. You will not be able to run two instances of Sohodox Desktop Client on one machine with different login credentials.
Sohodox allows you to add pre-scanned files to the Sohodox Scan window. Once these files are added in your library, Sohodox will treat these files as if they were received via a scanner and will let you perform additional powerful operations such combining them into multi-page PDF files via separator pages.
You can now merge two or more scanned pages and save them as PDF or TIFF files.
Preview of MS Outlook MSG files has been improved.
Sohodox now supports both 32 and 64 bit versions of Windows.
We have made it easy for you to access your Sohodox documents from anywhere using devices like smartphones, tablets and even your web browser!
Any document in Sohodox can now be made available in Dropbox.Dropbox is a free service that lets you access your important files anywhere. Any file you save to your Dropbox will automatically save to all your computers, phones and even the Dropbox website.
To learn more about Dropbox integration in Sohodox, see Dropbox integration for documents that are in Sohodox.
For users upgrading from version 7.6 and older: If you had created a tag called Dropbox in Sohodox then upon updating your Sohodox installation, that tag will automatically be converted to the special Dropbox tag. The documents you had added to that tag will stay as they were, but the icon for the Dropbox tag will change to a ‘cloud’ icon. If you want to remove your existing documents from that tag (or not sync them), you need to create a new tag and move your existing documents to it.
From this version, Sohodox lets you rename tags too just like you can rename folders. Simply right-click the tag in the Tags node and then click Rename. Type the new name and press Enter to save it.
Sohodox has always supported duplex scanning i.e. scanning both sides of a page and storing them in the correct order in a PDF or TIFF file. However this required your scanning to have built-in support for duplex scanning. With the new Virtual Duplex scanning mode, Sohodox can now handle duplex scanning even with scanners which do not have built-in support for duplex scanning.
Put a stack of documents in to your scanner’s ADF (Automatic Document Feeder). Sohodox will scan the front side of each document. Now simply flip the stack of documents and place them in your scanner’s ADF. Sohodox will now scan the reverse side of all the documents in the stack. After this Sohodox will automatically re-arrange the scanned pages so that the reverse side of each scanned page comes immediately after the front side of that page in the PDF or TIFF file.
The virtual duplex mode also works if your scanner does not have an ADF (i.e. you scan using the flatbed of your scanner). However in this case, you have to individually flip each page after its front side is scanned.
New scan profiles added (these are only visible in new Sohodox installations).
You can now automatically despeckle scanned images.
DPI settings are now adjusted dependent on the scanner.
Quality of Black and White scanned images has been improved.
Separator pages (Blank page or Barcode) are now displayed in the Scan Preview window so you can see if a non-separator page has been wrongly detected as a separator page.
The Scan Preview window now allows you to select a Page view (each scanned page displayed as a single thumbnail) or Document view (each scanned multi-page document displayed as single thumbnail) of the scanned documents.
When documents are duplex scanned, the Scan Preview window makes it easy to differentiate between the front and reverse of the document.
This feature will save your time and effort as you won’t need to update information individually for each document. You will be able to do it in a single batch.
In previous versions, Sohodox required you to manually save any changes to a document’s indexing information. But from this version, Sohodox gives you the option to automatically save the changes you made to the indexing information of the document. To activate the option, go to Options -> User Options -> Auto Save and check the Automatically save changes to indexing information box.
While entering indexing information for a document, sometime the values you need to enter are already present in the document. So it can save a lot of time and typing mistakes if you can just copy them from the document preview pane and paste them into the field. This new feature allows you to do just that. Simply select the area of the scanned page which has the text you need and copy it. Sohodox will OCR that selection, convert the selection into text and copy it to the clipboard. All you have to do is paste the information into the right indexing field.
Sohodox now supports previewing of .msg files imported from MS Outlook.
For every document in Sohodox, until now you could see the folder in which it is stored. It could be seen under Information panel -> Information tab -> Other Information -> Related Folder. But you could not quickly jump to that folder. Now Sohodox automatically creates a hyperlink to the folder so that when you click the link, it jumps to that folder, where you can see the other related documents in that folder. This feature also lets you quickly switch from the document to its folder in just one click, thereby saving your time.
Now you can replace an existing document in Sohodox with a document you are about to scan. All you need to do is right-click the document and select Replace by Scanning from the menu. This will bring up the scan window. Scan the appropriate document just as you normally would. The scanned document will automatically replace the existing document. The file name will change to the new document’s file name, but the document title will remain unchanged. The older document (the document being replaced) will be removed.
The Information tab in the Preview pane displays the indexing information of the document. You can choose to view the indexing fields in a single column or double column view. In previous versions, if you switched to a different view and then previewed another document, Sohodox would revert to the original column setting. But now Sohodox retains the setting until you change the setting again.
In previous versions, if you changed the zoom level of a document in the Preview pane, Sohodox would return to the default level when you switched to another document. But from this version, Sohodox remembers the zoom level you last selected and retains it across all documents until you change it. In fact, it remembers the same zoom level even if you logout and log back in.
In previous versions of Sohodox, if you added a tag to a document and hit the Enter key, it would display a confirmation message. This message was not required. So we have done away with it.
By default, Sohodox automatically begins to index a newly added/modified document in the background. Sometimes the documents can be very large (taking up too much processing time to index) or just unindexable (for e.g. photos which have no text which can be recognized or extracted). Also sometimes Sohodox can have trouble indexing a particular document. With this version, Sohodox lets you block the indexing process for such documents.
Two new Command Line Options have been added in this version of Sohodox. They are: Reset Cache DB and Reset User Profile.
Now you can merge one tag with another. This will delete the tag that is merged, remove that tag from all documents bearing it; and automatically add the other tag to these documents. When you click the Tags node in the Navigation pane, you will see these documents added to the other tag. This new feature helps you in case you misspelled a tag while adding it to a document. To replace the incorrect tag with the correct one, you need not edit the tag individually in each document. You can simply create a new tag and merge the incorrect tag into the correct one. This feature also helps in rectifying situations where multiple users accidentally create similar tags.
Until now, if you wanted to view the Destination Profiles you have saved in Sohodox, the Destination Profile drop-down would not display the list in an alphabetical order. But now, Sohodox displays the profile list in the drop-down in an alphabetical order.
Now you can drag and drop your emails from Thunderbird version 9.x onwards, into Sohodox. These email messages will be displayed in the Preview pane in Sohodox.
From version 7.6, the Sohodox setup will be separately available with user interfaces in English, Spanish and French. Although the user interface (menus, messages etc.) is now available in the above mentioned languages in addition to English, you can store documents and data in any language in Sohodox.
Prior to version 7.6, viewing an email message stored in EML format required you to have MS Outlook Express or Windows Live Mail installed on your machine. But now Sohodox natively supports viewing EML files in the Preview Pane. So email messages including those downloaded by the Email Capture module can be viewed without needing MS Outlook Express or Windows Live Mail installed on your machine.
Email Capture can now handle in a better way, email messages which have attachments. You can configure Sohodox Email Capture such that, whenever an email message with attachments is detected, the attachments will be stored as separate documents. They will automatically be linked to their corresponding email message. So for example if an email message with a single attachment is captured, Sohodox will create two documents, the email message itself and the attached file. Both the documents will be linked to each other.
Inbuilt viewer for MS Word and MS Excel now supports viewing password protected .docx and .xlsx files.

I downloaded my first album today, “wtf, big deal’, I hear you say, ‘the kids have been downloading bits of nothing for ages dude”.
What made it special for me was, yesterday I bought my first (new) vinyl LP (yes, LP) for many a year, “The King of Limbs” by The Fabulous Radiohead Brothers. For my money ($29), not only did I get a heavy duty black disc of vinyl that plays on both sides (and will do so for for the next 1,000 years …… if they still make stylus’ses’s), album artwork and a free plastic sleeve (thank you Atlantis Music) but also a card allowing a free digital download, thus negating the need to get the usb cable out and digitise my analogue copy. I now have the best of both worlds ……. but I know which one is best.

An Emeralds most unique and distinctive factor is its vibrant green. The most desirable colour is greenish blue with vivid colour saturation. As part of the beryl family, the colour has to be dark enough to be classified as an emerald. In the industry today there are many types of emerald treatments that can have positive and negative effects on the gemstone, which have consequences on the price, and can enhance specific properties. Emeralds have been treated for almost as long as they have been cut, the most common treatment used in the market is ‘fracture filling’. Commercial quality emeralds are inclined to have more internal characteristics than any other gemstone. The most common are surface reaching fractures and cracks, the reason being is that they are a brittle stone and the majority of emeralds are treated to improve their clarity and the overall appearance.
Only a few gemmology laboratories differentiate between oil and resin fillings, but this differentiation is extremely important. We recommend SSEF (Swiss Gemmological Institute) and AGL (American Gemmological Laboratory), who both differentiate between oil and resin fillings.
Additional treatments on the market include ‘dyeing’ and ‘coating’ emeralds, both of which should always be avoided. Dyeing is occasionally used to make a green beryl look more like an emerald, it intensifies the present colour and improves the colour uniformity. Surface coating alters a gem’s appearance by applying a colouring agent to the back of the surface of the gem. This will make the initial appearance of colour more even.
Untreated emeralds conduct premium prices, especially those from the now extinct Muzo mine in Colombia. An Old Mine Colombian untreated emerald can be up to 50% more valuable than an emerald with Minor clarity enhancement oil only, with the same apparent quality. An emerald with Moderate clarity enhancement can be about 35% less than a Minor treatment one. An emerald with Significant clarity enhancement should be avoided. In today's market more than 90% of emeralds have fractures filled with oil or resin. Therefore, extra care should be taken when cleaning and should not be cleaned ultrasonically or with steam. Vibrations can weaken already-fractured stones and hot steam can cause oil or unhardened resin to sweat out of the surface reaching fractures.

Berlin / Munich, 12 February 2019 - Scout24 AG ("Scout24" or "the Group"), a leading operator of digital marketplaces specialising in real estate and automotive sectors in Germany and other selected European countries, further accelerated its growth in the fourth quarter of 2018 and, based on the preliminary results for the 2018 financial year, increased Group revenues past the half a billion euros mark for the first time and the ordinary operating EBITDA margin to nearly 55%.
The preliminary figures indicate that Group revenues increased by 12.5% year on year to EUR 531.7 million (2017: EUR 472.6 million). This figure reflects a contribution of EUR 12.3 million attributable to the FINANZCHECK.de acquisition (or 2.6 percentage points). Group revenue growth, without FINANZCHECK.de, amounted to EUR 46.8 million or 9.9% (2018: EUR 519.4 million), which is fully in-line with the Company's guidance. This growth was primarily driven by measures to improve the monetisation of the portfolio of services across all three operating segments. The ImmobilienScout24 ("IS24") segment delivered a compelling performance by continuously accelerating revenue growth over the course of the financial year on the back of low churn rates, high customer win-back and new acquisition rates.
"Once again the Scout24 Team has delivered an exceptional set of results - both operational and financial - across all of our segments. I have been Scout24's CEO for a little less than three months but have already had the opportunity to interact with many of our customers and other market participants and the common theme from all these meetings is the incredible power of the Scout24 brand. The progress made with monetisation emphatically underscores the high resonance of our service offering among market participants," says Tobias Hartmann, CEO of Scout24 AG and added "With strong momentum across all three of our segments, we are looking into 2019 and beyond with great confidence."
Ordinary operating EBITDA for the 2018 financial year is expected to be EUR 291.5 million, up 15.3% on the prior year (2017: EUR 252.8 million). Excluding the contribution of FINANZCHECK.de, the ordinary operating EBITDA margin was 56.5% corresponding to a 3.0 percentage-point increase.
The cash contribution (ordinary operating EBITDA less capital expenditure) increased by EUR 33.2 million in the 2018 financial year to EUR 263.2 million, without FINANZCHECK.de by EUR 35.2 million to EUR 265.2 million (2017: EUR 230.0 million). Against the background of the acquisition of FINANZCHECK.de, the leverage ratio (ratio of net debt to ordinary operating EBITDA) is expected to stand at 2.6:1 (2017: 2.2:1). In the medium term, Scout24 continues to aim for a leverage ratio ranging between 1.5:1 and 1.0:1.
"Scout24 delivered another very successful financial year in 2018. Our record results for revenues and earnings underscore yet again the sustainably high growth potential of our business model. Our cash generation remains very strong, and as a result in the 2018 financial year we were able to distribute a significantly higher dividend to our shareholders and reduce debt by EUR 85 million. We were pleased by the success of our first issued promissory note ("Schuldschein"), and the refinancing of our bank liabilities, including the new credit facility with a dedicated credit line allowing us to support our growth strategy with the acquisition of FINANZCHECK.de with still providing additional flexibility. This demonstrates the confidence in the Group from the capital markets," says Christian Gisy, CFO of Scout24 AG.
Group preliminary EBITDA amounts to EUR 257.3 million (2017: EUR 232.8 million). It was burdened by higher than anticipated non-operating costs of EUR 34.2 million, which were mainly attributable to personnel expenses in connection with share-based compensation as well as expenses in connection with the Group's M&A activities. Capital expenditure (excluding capital expenditure resulting from the application of IFRS 16) came to EUR 28.3 million (2017: EUR 22.8 million).
Group earnings after tax are expected to reach EUR 165.0 million (2017: EUR 110.9 million). Preliminary earnings per share stand at EUR 1.53 (2017: EUR 1.03).
Based on preliminary data, Scout24 generated Group revenues of EUR 145.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2018, up 16.6% compared with the previous year (EUR 125.2 million). Of this amount, FINANZCHECK.de contributed a total of EUR 9.0 million. Accordingly, revenue growth without FINANZCHECK.de came to 9.4%. Preliminary ordinary operating EBITDA totalled EUR 77.6 million, up 15.3% compared with the fourth quarter of 2017 (EUR 67.3 million). The ordinary operating EBITDA margin is expected to stand at 53.2%, compared with 53.7% in the fourth quarter of 2017. Without FINANZCHECK.de, the preliminary ordinary operating EBITDA margin stands at 57.9%.
Based on the preliminary results of the financial year 2018, Scout24 confirms as well for 2019 the guidance as communicated during the Capital Markets Day held in Berlin in November 2017.
All figures published here are preliminary and unaudited. Full financial disclosure for financial year 2018, together with detailed management guidance for the financial year 2019 will be published on 25 March 2019.

text: We thought that if we followed the instructions on the Directors Bureau website and watched No Age’s videos for “Keechie” and “Eraser” simultaneously, a voice would come through our headphones whispering “Dean is dead” or something like that. It didn't happen, but after watching the "Keechie" video (which is actually unused footage from the "Eraser" shoot) on its own, we felt a little bit uneasy—like we just watched a Larry Clark film or something, but that wasn't it. And it wasn’t even the skeleton face paint or the way that the dry, dusty beige of everything managed to wash out rainbow colored balloons. It must be that we’ve come to expect certain things from No Age, like running and jumping and the musical version of the euphoric moments of perma-sun only found in LA, so when we don't get it, we feel weird. That being said, we're happy to see a new interpretation of No Age's music. Watch the video here.

A budget crisis facing the Palestinian government is deepening in the wake of last week's election victory by the Islamic resistance group, Hamas.
On Thursday the Palestinian Authority (PA) announced it was delaying payment of January salaries to 137,000 government staff by at least two weeks because of post-election budget problems.
The PA needs $116 million to cover the monthly payroll.
But after Hamas' election victory last week, Israel said it was suspending its monthly tax transfers to the PA, worth about $45 million, pending further review.
The cash-strapped authority accused Israel of practising collective punishment after it snubbed US calls to unblock funds owed to the Palestinians.
Ahmad Qureia, the Palestinian caretaker prime minister, said on Thursday: "For Israel to freeze this money is a form of collective punishment. We hope that Israel will release this money because it's our right.
"We are now trying to get money from other sources - we are in contact with Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the Gulf states. We hope we will soon get the necessary funds to pay the public workers as this money is not for factions but for the Palestinian Authority."
The Israeli government has insisted it will take its time to screen the customs duties in order that the cash does not end up in the hands of "terrorists", a reference to Hamas.
An official in the prime minister's office, told AFP: "We will not unblock these funds until we can be sure that they will not be used to finance a government made up of terrorist elements."
The need to ensure continued cash flow was highlighted in a World Bank report on Wedneday which said the PA's financial situation was becoming increasingly untenable as a result of ballooning public spending.
The Washington-based institution said the budget deficit reached $800 million in 2005, threatening to destabilise government operations. Nearly half the deficit was financed by donors, according to the report.
"The issue here is: How do you support President Abbas in his efforts in this interim period?"
A US State Department spokesman made clear that Washington wants Israel to unblock the funds owed to the Palestinian Authority.
"The issue here is: How do you support President Abbas in his efforts in this interim period, which ... could last anywhere from two to three months?," said spokesman Sean McCormack.
The United States and the European Union earlier warned they would curtail funding unless Hamas renounces violence and recognises Israel's right to exist.

Apple cider vinegar is an inexpensive remedy for dandruff. It helps in soothing the itchy, dry skin and inhibits growth of the dandruff causing microorganisms. Overgrowth of yeasts that irritate the scalp skin and trigger excess shedding of the dead skin occurs when the pH of the scalp skin is disrupted. Apple cider vinegar helps in maintaining the normal pH of the scalp that creates an unsuitable environment for the dandruff causing microorganisms to thrive. You can apply apple cider vinegar directly to the scalp or combine it with other ingredients with anti-dandruff property for better result.
The simplest way to get rid of dandruff with apple cider vinegar is to apply the vinegar directly to the scalp.
Shampoo and rinse your hair. Massage undiluted apple cider vinegar onto your scalp. Let the vinegar sit on the scalp for an hour. Rinse your head with warm water. Massage your scalp with vinegar at least twice a week. If undiluted vinegar irritates your skin, dilute one part vinegar with three parts water.
Honey is known for its antimicrobial property that helps in fighting dandruff. It also locks moisture onto the skin that helps in reducing dryness and flaking of the scalp. You can get rid of dandruff by applying a hair mask made by combining apple cider vinegar and honey.
Put all the ingredients in a spray bottle and shake the bottle vigorously to mix the ingredients. Spray the mixture on your scalp along the hair line. Wait for an hour and then rinse and wash your hair. Apply this mask once a week.
Mint leaves are known for their cooling effect. Juice extracted from the leaves is used as hair conditioner and helps in reducing dandruff. Mint infused apple cider vinegar helps in removing dandruff.
In a bowl, pour the apple cider vinegar and add the mint leaves. Pour boiling water over the mixture. Let the mint leaves sit in the vinegar until the mixture cools to room temperature. Strain out the mint leaves and preserve the liquid. After shampooing your hair, apply the mixture to the scalp. Leave it on the scalp for a couple of minutes and then rinse with cool water.
This hair mask, apart from reducing dandruff, helps in arresting hair loss.
Whisk the egg. Add the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, egg and lemon juice to a glass of warm water and mix well. Saturate your scalp with this mixture. Wrap your head with a towel and wait for 15 minutes. Rinse off the mixture with water and shampoo your hair.
Oatmeal is known to reduce itchiness of the scalp and assists in sloughing off the dead skin.
Mix all the ingredients. Gently massage the mixture on the scalp. Leave the paste on your head for an hour. Rinse off the mixture with plain water and shampoo your hair.
Thyme is known for its antifungal property that helps in fighting dandruff. To reduce scalp itching and flaking, combine thyme with apple cider vinegar and apply the mixture to your scalp.
In a jar, pour the vinegar and add thyme. Let the herb steep in vinegar for at least two to three days. Discard the herb and preserve the thyme infused vinegar. Add honey and stir to mix it with the vinegar. After shampooing, apply the mixture to your scalp. Leave it on for a couple of minutes and then rinse.
Garlic and vinegar is a natural remedy for dandruff. Garlic helps in inhibiting growth of microbes that irritate the scalp and makes the scalp flaky.
Mash the garlic cloves and add them to a cup of apple cider vinegar. Keep the mixture aside for at least three hours. Strain out the garlic. Rinse your hair and scalp with the garlic infused vinegar.

James ‘Jimmy’ Edward McGregor, Jr.
Who was this mysterious man named McGregor that was often seen walking through Red Lodge? Though you may not have known Jimmy except for a friendly wave and a smile from the side of the road, he was not all that mysterious. He was a simple man, not much different than you and I.
James Edward McGregor, Jr. was born in Grand Haven, Michigan on Thursday, March 18, 1954 at 2:15 am. He weighed 5 pounds, 9 ½ ounces, and was 19 inches long. Records found in his baby book, written no doubt by his mother, demonstrate a love and infatuation with a baby boy the family called Junior.
“It’s sorta redish,” she wrote.
He is survived by 4 sisters, and his father, James Edward McGregor, Sr.
While growing up in Spring Lake, Michigan, Jimmy was a member of the Boy Scouts of America in the Ottawa District where he attained the rank of 2nd class. He graduated from Spring Lake High School in 1973.
One of Jimmy’s distinguishing characteristics was his beard. You might find it interesting to note that on June 15 through June 21, 1969, Jimmie was “a member in good standing of the great society known as The Bearded Brothers.
So, the mysterious McGregor grew up much like many of us in Small Town USA with a loving family. As he grew older, he chose to live a very simple life and tried to disappear into the background. Little did he know the friends he would make and the lives he would touch in the small mountain town of Red Lodge, Montana.
Many of us would not let him disappear, but became his friends and neighbors. We learned that Jimmy was a kind-hearted soul, aiming to please those he loved and willing to serve others. For years Jimmy lived in what can only be described as a little wooden shack located on the side of a horse barn once owned by Don Coutts. While living there he helped take care of the horses that are used to pull the wagon through down town Red Lodge in the Summer months.
As people looked into his dark, piercing eyes and observed his less than casual, very worn and dingy appearance, a number of thoughts flooded their minds. An impression was being made that would not soon be forgotten. For many, this impression was the beginning of a spiritual experience whereby they began to contemplate what church was really all about, and what it was not about. Without knowing it or needing any recognition for it, this is one of the many ways Jimmy touched lives in our community as well as hundreds of visitors to Church of the Rockies over the last 3 ½ years.
Jimmy was greatly loved by his church family and he fiercely reciprocated that love both verbally and by lending a helping hand in anyway that he could. Jimmy lived for 63 years and died in the mountains he loved on Feb. 19, 2018. His death is a great tragedy and a great loss to all who knew him. I don’t think he had any idea how many people cared about him. He will certainly be missed.

I like to work on multiple things simultaneously.
.According to my experience, it is best when I am working on three things.
It's nice to focus on one thing, but a small team like us will have a limited number of things that can be shaped if we do not run multiple things simultaneously.
If I do, I want to shape many things.
How about everyone trying multiple things at the same time?
It is always busy and hard times, and sometimes it feels bad, but it is priceless that you can feel a lot of fulfilling things when you can do something.
It would be great if someone could smile on that.
CArgot-Escargot will try more and more!

Adrian Hoskins is a professional photographer and author of 1000 Butterflies & Butterflies of the World. His contagious enthusiasm for butterflies and photography took him first to Europe and then to Trinidad, where he found himself awestruck by the rainforest and its infinite wonders.
In 2006 he created his website www.learnaboutbutterflies.com, widely regarded as the most complete and authoritative on-line resource on butterflies. It was created firstly as a receptacle for his photographs and knowledge – a means of archiving what he had seen and learnt, and passing it on to others. Secondly, he saw it as a tool to promote the conservation of butterflies and their habitats – particularly the irreplaceable rainforests of Amazonia, Africa, south-east Asia and Australia.
Adrian has written several scientific papers about butterflies and has discovered 10 new-to-science species on his various expeditions to the tropics. In 2013 he achieved the rare honour of being made a Fellow of the Royal Entomological Society.
For the last 20 years he has organised and led numerous butterfly study expeditions to places including Costa Rica, Trinidad, Colombia, Ecuador, Brazil, Peru, France, Switzerland, Turkey, Estonia, Serbia, Macedonia, Ghana, Kenya, India, Sri Lanka, Malaysia and Borneo.

Select Subtle Color. Instead of choosing bold primary colors, select soothing color shades and a restful palate of homochromatic tones. Remember color schemes such as the soft hues of green, blue or lavender are thought serene. Jewel -toned rich shades plays an important role in setting your mode and providing you with comfort and coziness.These often include topaz, toasty browns shades etc. Try utilizing a much toned down shade of your chosen color. This means use pumpkin as opposed to tangerine. Whether along with a partner or not, we must look into our bedroom the main one area where we’re obliged to please no one but ourselves (the words indulgence and pampering spring to mind). It therefore makes common sense for the’best’bedroom space and access to dressing and bathroom facilities to be reserved for this purpose.
Maintain a simple bedroom. No real matter what style of decoration you select, your bedroom must look sophisticated, elegant, cozy and simple.Leave at least a difference of three feet between the side walls or big furniture and the bed, thereby ensuring simple movement.Apart from this leave no less than two feet gap between the reduced level furniture’s e.g. tables and the bed. Try furnishing your bedroom only with what you require. Anything additional tends to provide a negative look. However you are able to place pieces of artwork like candles, family photos etc.
Select the correct size furniture. Another important room ideas for decorating includes selecting the best size of furniture. When you’re prepared to search for bedroom furniture, consider the ground plan and the measurement of the bed room space. Furniture found should easily fit in the bedroom. Avoid selecting heavy and large dressers and beds for a tiny bedroom. On another accessories which can be very small tend to have lost in a large bedroom. Gone were those days when people lived in houses with just white painted walls, regular bulbs, and marriage and family photos in standardized photo frames. The trend today is to have’live walls’that can talk for themselves. Every one having its own identity and narrating its own story! Folks like to decorate their bedroom walls with theme styling that totally blends making use of their personality, lifestyle and fits the bill too!
Create a personal nook. Here’s one of my favorite bedroom decorating tips I like to talk about, and that’s to create a quite place for yourself in your bedroom where you could sit and read quietly. Make an exclusive reading or lounging space by utilizing comfortable chairs and foot stool and placing them at the end of the bed. Each anyone to its, like they say! Today the marketplace is flooded with suggestions to decorate your bedroom walls. Even although you are not good at interiors, the web may be your best pal to do mix and match and you can include your touch of creativity and personalize the bed room walls.
Buy luxurious linens. As interior decorating rule states, the use of beautiful fabrics can help outfit your bedroom. Linens tend to incorporate comfort to the bedroom. Purchase sheets that are made out of 100% cotton with a thread count of around 350 or even more. Always send costly linens to the dry cleaner. They feature services like professional washing and pressing at a reasonable rate. Thus the linen becomes crisp and smooth again. Bedroom Interior Design Ideas. In the event that you enjoy the sensation of being cocooned, bed drapes are for you. Whether emanating from a corona, half-tester or full tester, they offer a wonderfully secure, enclosed feeling and look extremely attractive in to the bargain. Always devote careful thought to the liner of any such bed treatment as that is what will be frequently seen by the individual lying in bed. An inferior repeat of the face area fabric pattern can create a very pleasing result, as can the utilization of ticking fabric in a coordinating color.
Introduce various lighting option. It’s strongly recommended to layer your lighting in your bedroom. Ambient lighting have a tendency to light the complete room. Small lamps to concentrate light for different activities like reading etc. Accent light aids in washing the four walls in under soft illumination. Place the reading light at the bedside; attainable these lights should have adjustable dimmer. All you should have is a wide knowledge of colors and image of how your bedroom would look like. Dark colored walls will make the space look smaller and light colors would add more space to your room.
