Cognitech, Inc. Announces the Release of the Stand Alone 3D CSI AutoMeasure™ Software
Pasadena, CA (PRWEB) November 01, 2012
Cognitech, Inc. has announced the release of Cognitech’s stand alone AutoMeasure™ software. Cognitech’s AutoMeasure™ software is the world’s most comprehensive automatic forensic photogrammetry software for 3D CSI measurements and biometric measurements of subjects and vehicles in CCTV video.
Cognitech’s AutoMeasure™ software is the world’s only universal photo-video measurements software with fully automatic, any camera self-calibration for measuring any scene, including accident scenes, crime scenes, or subjects/vehicles/objects captured either by single or multiple view photos or videos with single or multiple cameras or video cameras. It can be used to measure linear, area, and volume dimensions and angles from any scene, provided the images of the scene exist or can be taken, and for any accurate measurement requesting application. It is equally applicable to land based and aerial imagery surveying and planning applications. Individuals and vehicles captured in the image can be comprehensively measured for the purpose of identification not to mention scene dimensions. Cognitech’s proprietary technology utilized here has been awarded several US Patents. The ability to derive accurate measurements does not depend on any extensive manual scene pre-measurements, the presence of linear structures or other markers, or the calibration knowledge and presence of the original evidence image camera. Cognitech’s AutoMeasure software user interface with automatic self-calibration is structured into a user-guided work-flow, and can be learned to be used in a matter of minutes. Accurate measurements from the crime scene can be performed by the investigator at any time by using available and prior collected scene images, even if the scene and the camera does not physically exist anymore.
Cognitech, Inc. CEO Dr. Lenny Rudin said, in regards to the release of Cognitech’s AutoMeasure™ software, “Any professional who needs to measure any scene while utilizing a photo or a video camera, rather than using tedious mechanical or expensive laser scanning tools, should review the comprehensive capabilities of Cognitech’s AutoMeasure™ software. Unlike traditional photogrammetry software, Cognitech’s AutoMeasure software does not quit when some or all of the evidence images come from an unknown/uncallibrated camera. Unlike other competing “forensic measurements” software plug-ins, which in reality are elementary geometry tools (i.e. they are not fit for professional photogrammetry), Cognitech’s AutoMeasure™ is a true full-featured professional 3D multi-view, stereo photogrammetric tool-set that does not depend on the presence of trivial, and not usually present data like perspective structural lines, etc. Cognitech’s patented automatic self calibration technology is currently the fastest high precision technology to determine internal camera calibration parameters needed for precision metrology.
About Cognitech, Inc.:
In 1994, Cognitech, Inc. was the first company that designed and developed the unique photogrammetric Measure software, meant to be used by forensic video investigators as a part of Cognitech’s Video Investigator tool-set. The recent scientific breakthroughs of Cognitech’s research team, and multiple USPTO Awards, proves that a quarter century later, Cognitech is still the true leader in the forensic image/video processing field. The unique comprehensive design of Cognitech’s forensic software combines the state of the art image/video/audio processing with the state of the art 3D photogrammetric analysis, all-in-one, thus making this software environment a tool of choice for Law Enforcement and Security professionals worldwide.

Chicago-Area Museum Hosts A World Event: Pianist Jeanne Golan to Perform The Complete Piano Sonatas of Viktor Ullmann
Skokie, IL (PRWEB) October 05, 2012
Pianist and Steinway Artist Jeanne Golan will perform The Complete Sonatas of Victor Ullmann in two programs that span the compositional life of Viktor Ullmann, from his days as a leading musical figure in Prague to his internment at Terezin. The performances will take place on Thursday, October 18th at 7pm and Sunday, October 21st at 1:30pm; each concert will last 90 minutes and be followed by a dessert reception. Single performance general public tickets are $ 18, $ 14 for museum members. A $ 5 surcharge will be added to tickets purchased on the day of the performance. Advance purchase recommended; Click here or call 847.967.4852. The Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center is located at 9603 Woods Drive in Skokie, Illinois.
Viktor Ullmann’s (1898-1944), valiantly creative career culminated in the Nazi concentration camp of Theresienstadt/Terezín before he was sent to his death in Auschwitz. Golan’s double-CD set ¬– the first to put all seven of Ullmann’s piano sonatas together in more than two decades – was released by Steinway & Sons/Arkiv Music on August 28, 2012.
In a testimonial by James Conlon for Golan’s recording, the conductor – renowned Music Director of the Ravina Festival and dedicated champion of music by composers persecuted and displaced by the Nazis – says: “Viktor Ullmann and others of his generation are less known to us today not because of any lack of musical quality, but because their voices were stifled by a regime and then pushed aside once again in the clamor of post-war cultural advancement. This excellent and important recording by Jeanne Golan will do much to generate greater appreciation for Ullmann’s music among musicians and music lovers everywhere. I hope other musicians will follow her example by immersing themselves in the music of Ullmann and, in so doing, discover the work of a true 20th-century master.”
Rick Hirschhaut, Executive Director of the Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center, notes, “We are privileged to give voice to this brilliant composer whose work was silenced by the Nazi regime. Through the magnificent artistry of Jeanne Golan, the music of Viktor Ullmann can now be enjoyed and experienced by all who join us for these momentous concerts.”
The Massachusetts-bred, New York-based Golan fully immersed herself in Ullmann’s music and life for this ambitious project. Golan points out that Ullmann’s range as a composer was extraordinary: “He had this capacity to tap into all these different styles yet still sound like himself,” she says. “Ullmann was such a curious musician. Each sonata is a sort of experiment in a certain sound world, as he explores what’s suggested in folk songs or Mahler and Bartók. But it’s never derivative ¬¬¬– the music comes out as Ullmann. He had a real sense of play.
His is a very sad story, and that was a horrific time, obviously. But along with distressed emotion in his music, there is humor and often a real exuberance, a reveling in creativity.”
Philip L. and Ellen V. Glass are the Presenting Sponsor for The Complete Piano Sonatas of Viktor Ullmann.
The Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center is the largest facility in the Midwest dedicated to preserving the memories of those lost in the Holocaust and to teaching current generations to fight hatred, indifference and genocide in today’s world. The Museum is located at 9603 Woods Drive, Skokie. The Museum is open Monday through Friday: 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.; Thursday evenings: 5:00 – 8:00 p.m.; and Saturdays and Sundays: 11:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. Learn more at http://www.ilholocaustmuseum.org.

With more than 00 Trillion in outstanding Derivatives worldwide, the system cannot be “unwound” and it’s impossible to save.

London, UK (PRWEB) September 13, 2012

Founded in 2009 by Rael Nurick and Tom Wood, Sandton purchases under-performing and non-performing loans from banks and non-bank financial institutions, with a focus on loans to small and middle market businesses.

The firm is headquartered in New York City, with additional US offices in Los Angeles and North Carolina.

Rael Nurick, founding partner of Sandton said, “We have been active in Europe for 18 months and our firm’s strategy has been very well received to date. Tim, with his thorough grasp of illiquid credit markets and strong relationships in the financial sector, is the perfect choice to broaden and deepen our activities there.”
Tom Wood, also a founding partner of Sandton said, “Given the challenges facing European credit markets, we believe that Sandton can be a valued source of liquidity for deleveraging banks and borrowers facing financing difficulties. We are very fortunate to have Tim on board to guide and expand our business in Europe.”
In speaking of the new role, Mr. Vieth highlighted the strength and unique nature of the Sandton Capital platform: “I am excited to join a strong team with a proven track record of investing in challenged, esoteric and illiquid credits. The European market is in need of new sources of capital and Sandton is well equipped to play a meaningful role in the process of bank deleveraging and corporate restructuring.”

Statman, Harris & Eyrich, LLC Announces Investigation into Credit Reporting Agencies’ Practices in Correcting Errors in Consumer Reports
Cincinnati, Ohio (PRWEB) August 25, 2012
The law firm of Statman, Harris & Eyrich, LLC announces an investigation on behalf of consumers into the activity of credit reporting agencies in connection with the agencies’ practices in timely correcting errors in consumers’ credit reports. Credit reporting agencies such as Equifax, Experian®, and TransUnion® track consumer credit history and payment records and analyze the information to determine the risks posed by extending credit to the consumer for any kind of loan. Additionally, credit reports may impact eligibility for rental housing, the amount of deposits required for utility or telephone service, and premiums for auto or homeowners’ insurance. Pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) 15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq., credit reporting agencies have, in general, thirty days to correct errors on consumer reports.
Specifically, the investigation focuses on problems consumers encounter in trying to resolve disputes about the information contained in their credit reports. Reported information includes financial credit history, civil judgments, liens, and bankruptcies. According to remarks made by Richard Cordray, Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, on July 16, 2012 during a field hearing in Detroit, Michigan, “the collateral consequences of mistakes can greatly harm consumers. The wrong information may cause them to be denied a loan, to be charged a much higher interest rate, or to be passed over for a job, causing them serious economic hardship.”
Individuals who have been denied credit, denied credit on favorable terms, or suffered other economic hardship due to the failure of a credit reporting agency to timely correct credit reporting errors who wish to discuss this investigation with an attorney, are encouraged to contact Jeffrey P. Harris, Esq. at (513) 345-8181 or via e-mail at jharris(at)statmanharris(dot)com for further information without any obligation or cost.

Newest Best-Selling Skin Care Using Key Antioxidants to Repair Sun Damage and Reverse the Signs of Aging at TheBeautyPlace.com
Miami, FL (PRWEB) July 12, 2012
Antioxidants work by penetrating the top layer of skin and turn free radicals into harmless molecules. Thus preventing the signs of aging, stimulating collagen, repairing damaged skin cells, and eliminating blemishes or imperfections.
Vitamin E, also known as Tocopherol, is a moisturizing antioxidant that protects the skin barrier from damage. It acts as an obstacle, fighting free radicals and environmental factors from damaging skin. It is found in neck and decolletage creams because these areas tend to sag and wrinkle over time due to sun exposure and age. Pevonia Ligne Esthebuste Restore Neck and Bust Concentrate $ 70.51, offers it in a concentration for maximum absorption on skin.
Retinol is a Vitamin A derivative. It is considered one of the best anti-aging ingredients because of its long list of benefits. Retinol treats fine lines, wrinkles, sun spots, dullness, crepiness, sagging skin, hyperpigmentation and various other signs of aging and skin concerns. It is found in night serums like the DDF Anti-Aging Restoring Night Serum , $ 86.04 , because skin exposure in the daytime can cause skin damage in the form of spots. Another reason it is recommended for overnight use is because skin absorbs the most when it is at rest. Thus allowing for maximum effectiveness from the ingredient.
The beauty consultants recommend serums to their clients because the stronger doses allow faster penetration than creams. Vivite Daily Antioxidant Facial Serum $ 37.25, contains a mix of extracts from pomegranate, green tea, chamomile, and contains glycolic acid to help diminish discoloration. Pomegranate is an antioxidant protecting skin against some UV damage that can lead to wrinkles, sagging and skin cancer. Green tea is an antioxidant that protects against free radicals – helping to enhance skin elasticity, stimulate collagen, and soothe inflammation. ” Skin that has a sprinkling of freckles, fine lines around the eyes and mouth. I recommend this wonderful to serum to clients who are not ready to dive into the world of age creams and skin treatments, but want a little proof of how choosing great skin care can make them look a little younger again,” stated Rebecca, lead beauty consultant at TheBeautyPlace.com.
Idebenone is a synthetic antioxidant that reduces inflammation and UV damage to skin cells that can cause wrinkles and hyperpigmentation. It is popularly found in Prevage MD Anti- Aging Serum, $ 67.00, because this anti-aging serum contains the highest concentration of idebenone found in any skin care product. “This skin product may actually be the best-selling skin care treatment at TheBeautyPlace.com. I talk to clients who have used it for years and praise its benefits!”, stated Rebecca. The antioxidant helps promote firmer, smoother, and brighter skin. It works good with all skin types, but ideal for dry, mature and aging skin.
