Pembroke Instruments announces the release of the SenS Short Wave Infrared (SWIR) camera. The SenS employs a new and patented InGaAs sensor (640X512, 15 um pixel pitch) that can be set to operate in three modes of operation: 1) linear response mode for low light imaging 2) Log response mode when intrascene dynamic range is very high 3) Fast gating mode when image acquisition must have a time window < 200 nsec. The range of supported SWIR light level ranges is without precedent and SenS solves the problem of having to make compromises for image acquisition when light levels change and gating requirements are important.

The SWIR (Short Wave InfraRed ) spectral region has evolved to become critical for many industrial, scientific, remote sensing, and surveillance applications including:
SWIR Remote Sensing
SWIR Microscopy
SWIR Surveillance and Target Identification
SWIR Laser Tracking
Reflective and Hyperspectral SWIR Imaging
Defect detection in industrial products by SWIR Imaging

According to Dr. Leslie M. Tack, Chief Technical Officer at Pembroke Instruments, “Our SWIR imaging customers are very excited about the SenS because it will expand their capabilities to include very low light imaging and fast gating without any loss in the standard wide dynamic range performance. It will be like have three cameras in one compact device”.

Key features of the SenS SWIR camera include:
Three separate modes of operation to obtain peak imaging performance:
Linear mode with multiple gain settings (low light condition)
Log response mode (high intrascene dynamic range)
Gating mode (< 100 nsec exposure, <30 nsec rise time, high shutter efficiency)
Up to 250 fps full frame
Standard TE cooled for high stability
640X512 pixel, 15 um pixel pitch, InGaAs sensor
USB3 or Cameralink
Small footprint and rugged

WP Tech Support’s Managing Director Dave Macdonald set up the service to protect and maintain WordPress websites for his own web design agency clients.

He commented, “The feedback we received from clients was extremely positive, we put a lot of time into getting this right. We knew this was a big pain point for WordPress owners and agencies and so decided to launch this as a stand-alone business. Transparency and value-for-money are paramount and as such WP Tech Support is an online platform giving full visibility of all actions and reports along with direct contact with our team of experts.”

WP Tech Support’s customers can access a secure client portal where they are able to view reports, activity and can connect with real WordPress experts. As part of the service, all sites are reviewed manually and given a WordPress health check.

Mr Macdonald added, “Having worked with WordPress websites for many years I know the pain points of maintaining and protecting sites from intrusion and hacking. This is the primary reason we offer far more than just updates, fixing plug-in compatibility issues and backups. Our customers get access to our team of experts who manually review sites for performance and security issues.”

One feature of WP Tech Support that sets it apart from other similar services is the inclusion of development minutes in their Pro and Business plans. Customers in these plans can call on in-house experts for development time to help with any small on-going improvements required.

WordPress has become one of the cornerstone products of the modern web with an estimated 25% of sites on the Internet powered by the CMS. It is often the default content management system for many agencies, freelancers and individuals when designing and building websites. However, maintenance and on-going support is often seen as a hassle or ignored altogether leaving sites vulnerable to attack.

Commenting on the importance of maintaining WordPress, Mr Macdonald said, “WordPress’ popularity has lead to it being the target of hackers and spammers making it more critical than ever before to stay on top of website security. Any online business should be taking steps to protect their site yet many don’t. The cost and time required have created a gap that hackers can exploit. WP Tech Support has been designed and priced to fill this gap and remove the pain of WordPress security and maintenance.”

With price plans from just $45 per month, WP Tech Support has been set up to offer personal service at an accessible price point for businesses and individuals. Leaning on Mr Macdonald’s industry experience, there is also a white label solution for agencies and freelance website designers to ensure hacked client sites and performance issues are a thing of the past.

Details of the services included within the maintenance and support plans can be found on their new website, https://wp-techsupport.com

USA’s WASPs who are we – really?, a new book by Joseph Christ, has been released by RoseDog Books.

Analysis of our social structure suggests it must deal with economy, justice, equality-opportunity, sex, and death or religion – God. This book came from thoughts as to how we were doing. The book provides past facts for you to mull over. These include a bit of our culture, the dangers to our culture, our governments acts, and our cousins, the English. The USA has had leaders who were expansionists. In the 19th century we had manifest destiny: the right of whites to North America. This led to the treatment of other races, particularly by white supremacists. It tries to show the development of our anti cultures. It describes the starting of people’s governments around the world. It finishes with some thoughts on religions.

Creditability? The author has been thinking of these things since the age of 20. Thinking with abstract reasoning, his IQ is 146-154, measured in 2012 with the IDIOT.

Unique? The author doesn’t know what’s out there. He knows himself. When he was ten, the children’s Christian books he read made him believe in Jesus. But when he looked around he did not see Christian goodness. He saw selfishness. With his stroke he had a common death experience. He met God. For months after he thought he was Joseph Christ with a mission from God. He no longer believes in a mission – he has no powers. But there is this book.

About the Author
In the summer of 2009 Joseph Christ had a stroke. He had worked as a child psychologist. The stroke killed the left half of his brain. The limbic system and cerebral cortex remained but he lost the mammalian and human brain parts. He thought of himself as a gifted reptile. Joseph has at least ten disabilities now. He is a proto, near human who cannot cope with being around people. He’s been recovering for eight years from stroke damages. In December of his second year he regained the positive Joseph he had lost. He got this gift in the waters of Maui. Then in the spring of year eight he got back the negative parts of himself. So, he was like the Joseph before the stroke, but with far less coping skills. Since 1970, Joseph has been reading and studying, repeatedly, learning of great nations and our cultures. His mind has always been highly active.

USA’s WASPs who are we – really?, is a 56-page paperback with a retail price of $10.00. The ISBN is 978-1-4809-7746-4. It was published by RoseDog Books of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Jesus and the Essenes: The Untold Story, a new book by Rev. Ralph F. De Flores, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

Jesus and the Essenes: The Untold Story is the second part of a trilogy relative to the life of Jesus and his loved ones. It provides the reader with some idea of what Jesus’ relations with the Essenes might have been like. Also, this historic novel may give you an insight as to why the Essenes were left out of the New Testament.

After reading about the Essenes in the December 1958 issue of National Geographic, Rev. Ralph F. De Flores turned his attention to the New Testament to see what the writers of the New Testament had to say about that important Jewish sect during Jesus’ era. He was surprised to discover the Essenes were “left out” of the New Testament. That discovery resulted in him spending countless hours researching whatever he could discover about that interesting Jewish sect whose monastery wise men wrote the Dead Sea Scrolls.

Let the story begin. This historic novel may prove interesting to people who like to read novels that deal with Jesus’ era.

About the Author
Rev. Ralph F. De Flores attended NYU for two years. After his mystical visions of Saint Therese and Edgar Cayce in 1970, he found himself entering the parapsychology field. Over a thirty-year period, he counseled many adults who came to see him. He became a minister in 1971 due to his discoveries.

Jesus and the Essenes: The Untold Story is a 456-page paperback with a retail price of $68.00. The ISBN is 978-1-4809-3715-4.
