The recently dramatic climate changes have diverged people’s perspectives and expectation about what will our Earth be in the year 2012. Some optimistic persons assume that there will be a considerable change for us and we human will be reluctant to enhance our mind to a higher level. Other more pessimistic ones suppose that things will be more ominious than today. Their belief is that a polar shift will emerge resulting in a disappearance of human being and our planet Earth.

Some people are very passionate about sharing as much knowledge on this subject as possible. They have written some amazing guides and survival books that will go a long way to helping many try and ride out the polar shift. Other people are saying that trying to survive is pointless and that even if you did survive there would not be a way for you to live long enough after the cataclysmic event for you to endure for very long anyway.

The Polar 2012 shift is said to come about as the earth’s magnetic field is interrupted by a heavenly body.

This heavenly body has been described as being Planet X or Nibiru. Planet X is a name that NASA gives all otherwise unknown planets until they have been properly investigated and then subsequently named after most likely the person that discovered it. So the name of the heavenly body is not overly important, but the heavenly body is of some great concern for many of us that believe it is heading our way and will interfere with our magnetic fields.

Advise being given to anyone that is interested in this topic of discussion is that they should do as much reading and investigating for themselves before coming to a firm conclusion. There is a vast range of literature and guides online that are based on philosophies by Nostradamus and Einstein on the matter.

Do you have fragile, old home movies stored away somewhere at home? If so, you might want to consider having them transferred to digital video to unlock those treasures so that you can share them with friends and family.

Digital Pickle is a well-established company that uses a network of independently owned digital imaging studios located across the US that offers film transfer services. Film formats which can be transferred include 8mm, Super 8mm and 16mm. Converting film to Dvd involves using an all digital, frame-by-frame aerial-capture process with a 3CCD camera. This process produces the highest possible video quality. You will receive good quality, flicker-free Dvds that have been enhanced and which are ready to play on nearly any Dvd player. Prior to digitalizing the film, minor repairs are made and the film is spliced if necessary.

Your film is then cleaned with an anti-static solution and inspected for dirt. Any sound on your films also will be captured in the film transfer and will in fact be better in quality once it is in video format. Digital Pickle can even prepare your clips in the proper format and upload them to YouTube for you so that they can be shared with the world if you choose to provide your YouTube user information.

You can order your film transfer service online or walk-in to one of the Digital Pickle affiliate studios. The online ordering method is very popular as many people do not live near one of the studios. To order online you simply gather your films, place your order on the website and then ship the films to the Digital Pickle studio. Once the studio receives your order you will be sent an email containing the estimated cost. Your film is then transferred to Dvd format using state-of-the-art equipment and technology. The final product is reviewed for quality and completeness and then shipping back to you. It is as easy as 1-2-3 and there is no doubt that you will be amazed at the quality of the finished Dvd.

Another great service that Digital Pickle offers is Vhs to Dvd service. Nearly everyone these days has piles of Vhs tapes sitting around so it is likely that you do as well. The Vhs to Dvd service Digital Pickle offers produces exceptional video quality which means you will once again be able to enjoy all of the material you have recorded on Vhs cassettes. The process includes transferring the Vhs content to a computer so that blank stretches can be edited out and the tape can be ‘cleaned up’. From the Digital Pickle computer your Vhs content will be burned onto high quality Dvd-R discs that are compatible with nearly every Dvd player on the market.

Imagine all of those old home movies, tv shows, films and special events you have stacked on shelves and in boxes collecting dust being transferred to Dvds. Vhs tapes do not last forever as this medium is susceptible to deterioration over time. Don’t allow those precious recordings to decay. Consider using the Digital Pickle Vhs to Dvd service because Dvds last for decades which means you can enjoy those special memories for years to come and even pass them on down to your children to enjoy.

As crime increases so does the apprehension of the property owners to their vulnerability.

Security cameras have, over the last decade, become increasingly reliable and effective in preventing theft or property damage and more importantly catching the criminals.

Having read this you run out of the house and head down to the electronics store to buy a security camera, STOP. Lets just chew the fat a bit and toss some facts about because there is so much to choose from and for what application requirements and price. Put a stocking or balaclava on and take a recce around your property as a thief intent on mischief. You’ll need to find an entry point (door vent or window) that is out of sight from the neighbors. Now have a look around as to where cameras may be best sighted. Properties with multiple facets, nooks and crannies, those blessed Architects, require more surveillance.

BUT most important, the cameras need to be placed so that good profile pictures can be captured whilst the thief is getting to the break in point. Consider a simple rectangular building and work from there. A camera under the eaves outermost on each corner, i.e. 4 cameras, with tilt, zoom and at least 270 degree panning arc will have the ability to have a person covered by 2 cameras for the entire circumference, even when standing beneath one. A recess may have to be covered by a single camera. This may be adequate as a fixed unit (not panning or tilt).

For a comparison of whats possible, my cell phone fits in my shirt breast pocket, has an 8 megapixel video camera with 16gb of memory, ability to transmit around the world, and most of the size is keypad and battery. Awesome technology today. The beautiful thing is, that if you choose outdoor security cameras that are wireless units there is no hindrance as to where can wires be run. Sounds too good to be true. Almost is. Battery life! Be careful. Solar powered, hmm, wires and transformer/regulators etc. More and more to go wrong. Oh and almost forgot, place the cameras high enough so that a 6ft person can’t reach up and immobilize it, otherwise consider a secure housing for it. But if battery powered you have to replace the batteries on a fairly regular basis. Not too high then.

Outdoor Surveillance Cameras with wires through the ceiling spaces terminating inside the house at a fixed mains power wireless transmitter is a good option. Then you can have your computer or laptop seeing the images anywhere inside the house. Some units can transmit to TV sets if you prefer. Have you a trailer boat with bimini top, or caravan, or does the furniture van need to get past the perfect camera spot. Make sure its not obstructive. The camera, for outdoor use, will have a robust non-corrosive body, insulated and weather proof AND PROPER MOUNTING BRACKETS!! Nothing worse than the thing hanging off its wires after a storm, or rust stains down your nice stucco wall. Do not buy powder coated or nickel plated (which is not hot dipped galvanizing) iron/steel brackets. Use cast non-ferrous alloys, (shy away from “gun” metal,) or 316 stainless steel. Other stainless steels tend to create rust stains. The mounting screws should be stainless or silicon bronze. You may gather now that I belong to the grey power gang, been there done that. Take my advice and do it once and do it right.

Next thing is you need a receiver unit to accept the feeds, multiple channels and software to control robotic type units. Then you should, or must, have cameras with at least 0 lux i.e. can still capture a picture at dusk, and better still infrared capable, i.e. will function in the dark, but don’t be trapped, infra red requires high resolution to obtain any sort of clarity. Security cameras should be motion activated and you need sufficient data space to record. Especially if you have a big energetic dog on the loose. And then you may like to be able to haul out the laptop on a Bermuda beach and see your house in New Zealand. All is possible with money. So with that mouthful, to summarize, for you can have a camera that looks at one spot, i.e. now you see me, now you don’t to the full suite for over 00 and any combination in between. CONSIDER YOUR OPTIONS CAREFULLY. The normal truth reigns, cheap does not last, physically or emotionally. You can normally tell by looking. If its worth doing its worth doing properly.

Paper has been a sort of “security blanket” for many of us for decades. Businesses of all shapes and sizes have relied on it (some as a sole process of record keeping), and it’s hard to imagine letting go of a tangible record we’ve grown to depend on.

The idea of the majority, if not all of your business records moving to electronic document management systems has not only become an easier concept to grasp, but has also become easier to accomplish with state-of-the-art tools and dependable document imaging companies waiting to do the job for you. Financial/Accounting records, personnel records, insurance records and any other business documents, whether they are on paper, microfilm or microfiche, can be digitized.

So how do you get started? Here are some easy steps to converting those piles of paper into an easy-to-access system.

1.

Make the commitment. Make the decision this is what your business is going to do and choose a goal date to have it done by. Make it a realistic goal that everyone is on board with. Remember, no one says this process needs to be done all at one time.

2. Don’t panic. Breathe deeply and understand this… you don’t have to get rid of EVERYTHING. We all worry about how many years we need to keep tax accounting in case we (gulp) get audited “someday” or what documents we might need for legal purposes. That’s fine, keep the paper copies of documents you feel necessary.

3. Start with baby steps. Decide which records you will begin with. There may be older records that may be nearing their retirement date – leave those as they are. Now categorize which files you want to convert first, second and so on.

4. Toss out what you don’t need. One of the beneficial things about going digital is, you won’t be making duplicates of any document until you need to email it or print it out (there will be customers that still insist on the paper). Go through and toss duplicates along with what’s no longer needed.
5. Decide how you will make it all happen. If you’re taking on the task yourself, decide what equipment you will need for the project. At the very least, you will need one of the high quality document scanners out on the market and the proper document management software to scan and store. Better yet, reach out to the professionals who know the appropriate ways to convert your files and will handle them with care. This is especially helpful when dealing with large quantities.

6. Let your clients and suppliers know the news. Letting your clients know you’ve gone digital will show you are using current technologies to ensure straightforward work flow and knowing you’re using digitized document storage may give them peace of mind knowing their information is safe.

Make your new system easy-to-use and compatible if it will require suppliers to change the way they submit transactions, etc.

7. Enjoy it. Once you’ve established an organized, simple to utilize system to keep your documents stored digitally, you will never miss the filing cabinets. The benefits of time saved looking for files, the paper reduction, saved storage space, improved security and other advantages far outweigh the initial investment of money or time.
