php-AD-admin is an opensource project that will allow users to update their own Active Directory attributes (phone number, name, etc) and improve the quality of the data in the Active Directory by forms validation to create new users, groups etc. The project uses PHP and the PHP LDAP modules to access the directory information.
Development of phpadadmin is currently concentrating on Self-service password resets, allowing individual users to be able to reset their own passwords, by setting users definable questions to identify themselves, e.g. "What's your favorite colour?", or using SMS messages to send reset codes.

The Paradise Curtain is a term used to describe the seperation on the Hawaiian islands between the haves and the have-nots, the rich and poor, corporate hotels and the Hawaiian slums, the thieves and the victems, etc. The Paradise Curtain is a "word play on the infamous Iron Curtain which separated communist and capitalist Europe ( )." It is also a word play on the Orange Curtain, a derogatory term used to describe the border between Orange County and Los Angeles County in California. The term Paradise Curtain was used first by a young pastor in Kahului, Hawaii, named Stephen Fussle who used the term to describe the difference between what people imagine Hawaii is like for their honeymoon or vacation experience, to what the realities are for the local Hawaiian's who struggle for their very existence.
XpanD is a 3-D film system. With Dolby 3D and RealD Cinema it's one of the three concurring technologies available on the market. While others use passive glasses XpanD uses LCD shutter glasses.
The DCI Stereoscopic Digital Cinema Addendum, published on July 11, 2007 has defined the 3D parameters of Digital 3D Cinema. The specs calls for Single Inventory of Stereoscopic Digital Cinema Packages, forbidding the usage of special copies that require a unique color or density timing. This applies especially to RealD that had to be supplied with a special version of each movie due to RealD’s ghosting problem. The specs also define that Stereoscopic presentations shall interleave the left and right eye frames alternating at a 48 frames per second rate.
XpanD became the dominant player in 3D digital cinema in the Europe ad Asia. XpanD is running a single digital projector at 144FPS. To separate the images, they place infrared transmitter in the booth, facing the screens. The transmitter uses plug & play infrastructure and it is very easy to move it from theater to theater, a fact that exhibitors find very effective as they can move the 3D system from big screens to small screens. XpanD are using active glasses, which act as high-speed shutters synchronized with the frame being projected. XpanD works with regular white screen. The disadvantage of XpanD is that the glasses are expensive and need to be cleaned and recycled. XpanD have almost 1200 screens of which over 80% are in Europe and Asia.
There are several methods used to produce a 3d image in digital cinema. All rely in reproducing the stereoscopic disparity between the images seen by the left and right eyes.
One method is to alter the spectral quality of the left and right eye images, and display them simultaneously.
A special pair of spectral filtering glasses then separates out the two images. This is the method used by Dolby and is the principle behind the crude red/blue glasses of anaglyph.
Another method is to circularly polarize the left and right eye images and use a pair of polarizing glasses to separate the images, which are shown sequentially. This is the method used by Real-D.
The third method is to leave the left and right eye images unfiltered and change which one is seen by which eye. This is done by presenting the images sequentially, along with coordinating an infrared signal. The infrared signal bounces from the screen and triggers a pair of special LCD shutter glasses, causing the appropriate eye's LCD shutter to close (go black). This is the method used by XpanD.
Another major advantage is the mobility of the XpanD system, allowing it to be moved from theater to theater within few minutes.

The Real Truth About Success is a 2009 book by Garrison Wynn, founder of Wynn Solutions. Its subtitle promises to share "What the top 1 percent does differently, why they won't tell you, and how you can do it anyway."
Wynn's company decided to investigate what the most successful business people did differently in order to rise in their professions. In the process of five thousand interviews, over ten years, with professionals from more than twenty industries, Wynn wanted to determine what kinds of "attributes, skills, and behaviors elevated people to the very top of their fields." When he determined that they were being served platitudes and lies by their interview subjects, Wynn decided to look deeper than trite answers such as "hard work" and "empowerment".
What he found was that successful people used what talents and capacities they had to give them an advantage, and then used these to beat the competition. Even personality traits such as shyness, a foreign accent or being nosy could be used to advantage. "Most successful business people get where they are because they have a secret advantage, and they're not afraid to use it."
The book encourages readers to determine their own advantages, fair or unfair, and shows that by using them creatively, success in business can be achieved.
