ROBBIE WILLIAMS gives us some ear-CANDY with new album “TAKE THE CROWN”
After signing with
Universal Music in October 2011, UK Music Hall of Fame’s Greatest Artist of the
90s, ROBBIE WILLIAMS, arrives with his forthcoming ninth studio album
entitled “TAKE THE CROWN”, set for nationwide release on November 19,
2012 under MCA Music (Universal Music Philippines).
The album takes flight by the lead single, "CANDY", a brilliantly
addictive classic pop song Robbie wrote with former Take That band mate, Gary
Barlow. “It’s a summer song about a girl
who thinks she’s great. And she might be, but she’s a bit nefarious with her
ways. Some songs take an age to write and some songs just fall out of your
mouth completely formed, and you don’t have to think about it. I don’t know why
that fell out of my mouth and out of my brain at that particular time – it just
did,” explains Robbie.
“TAKE THE CROWN” will also feature
the original demo version of Take That's "Eight Letters", which is
entirely performed by Robbie. It will be his first solo album in three years
after his return to Take That in 2010. “After
the Take That reunion – a busman’s holiday, a break from my career which
re-energised me in many, many ways – I wanted to come back with a massive solo
album," states Robbie. "My
main priority was to write what I consider, and hopefully what the world would
consider, to be hits. I’m very excited”. Besides “CANDY” and “Eight Letters”, ROBBIE
WILLIAMS also treats us to some ear
candy with other promising songs included in the album like “Shit On the
Radio”, “All That I Want”, “Hunting for You”, “Hey Wow Yeah Yeah” and “Reverse”
among others.
Why “TAKE
THE CROWN”? "I want to create an
impression that I'm fully in with this album. I want to dominate the charts. I
want to take on the world. I want to be a top pop star. I'm re-energised and
it's called Take the Crown for that
reason," says Robbie.
ROBBIE
WILLIAMS has sold over 70 million records worldwide,
which ranks him among the best-selling music artists worldwide. He is the
best-selling British solo artist in the United Kingdom and the best-selling
non-Latino artist in Latin America. Six of his albums are among the top 100
biggest-selling albums in the UK. He has also been honored with seventeen BRIT
Awards—more than any other artist—and seven ECHO Awards. In 2004, he was
inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame after being voted as the "Greatest
Artist of the 1990s."

Digital photography Made Simple: Discover How To Get Excellent Photos
The term picture taking
emanates from two Greek words that approximately translate to "drawing
with light-weight". Digital photography doesn't just pull light-weight.
It attracts men and women together. A terrific photo is a great way to
promote experiences and make you feel far more attached to those in
close proximity to you. Here are some tips on how to make all those
photographs greater.
A good photography tip which can help you
out would be to maintain your breathing prior to taking a photo. Holding
your breath will enable you to require an obvious shot. If at all
possible you should utilize a tripod but this easy technique will help
prevent you from obtaining blurry photographs.
Make use of the
conditions. Overcast skies are perfect for black and white taking
pictures, but in color taking pictures it might make hues seem washed
out and bland. When the sky is clear, leverage the blue background and
attempt to contain it inside your photos. In case you have one, utilize a
polarizing camera lens to find the total outcome of a crystal clear day
time.
An effective picture taking word of advice that can help you is to try out taking a great deal of different images of the identical subject matter. This is a great way to enable you to be a little more imaginative. You'll be forced to attempt anything you can to get an interesting, but exclusive shot every time.
When possible, steer clear of using the flash which you find on most digital cameras these days. It is likely to provide the topic 'red eye', and it eliminates most of the shadow that could create level in the snapshot. If you need to utilize a flash, for example an indoor nighttime photo, ensure that your subject matter away from wall surfaces. Using this method you won't end up with an unattractive black colored shadow that looks like an summarize.
Picture taking has changed the way we speak with each other, allowing us to share remembrances in techniques we by no means could ahead of. In case you learn how to get nice looking images, the folks in your life will feel nearer to you. Thanks to the guidance outlined in this article, you know many different things you can do to make your pictures appear better. Attempt putting the following tips into training next time you take out your camera.

IBM Extends Presence in the Philippines with Davao Office
Expansion follows increased demand for technology solutions and services
outside the National Capital Region (NCR)
Davao City, Philippines -
November 6, 2012: IBM (NYSE: IBM)
today announced the opening of a new branch office in Davao, Philippines as
part of the company’s continued investment in growth markets and commitment to
increasing its support for clients and partners outside the National Capital
Region (NCR). The new branch strengthens IBM’s operations in the Philippines which includes Sales and
Distribution, Global Process Services/ Business Process Outsourcing (BPO),
Application Management Services, and an IBM Innovation
Center
“IBM has
been operating in the Philippines
for 75 years working with thousands of customers and partners across the
country. In line with our geographical expansion strategy, we are currently
strengthening our operations to expand further beyond Metro Manila, aligned
with the government's "Next Wave" cities program. The Philippines
is a key market for IBM and Davao
has been identified as a strategic growth location. This expansion is testament to IBM's
commitment to providing the best possible solutions and services to its clients
in the Philippines ,”
said Mariels Almeda Winhoffer, President and Country General Manager, IBM
Philippines.
IBM has
made substantial investments in the Philippines over the past few
years, expanding its business portfolio, growing talent, extending geographic
reach and boosting skills development as it anticipates exponential growth
around the country.
“We
see opportunities for further growth and development as leaders from across all
sectors embrace and leverage information technology to transform their
operations business and lay the foundations for a smarter planet,” added
Almeda-Winhoffer.
Recently, IBM signed an agreement with the Davao City
government to provide an Intelligent Operations Center (IOC) for Security and
Safety to help transform Davao into the premier
socio-economic and tourism hub in Mindanao ,
East ASEAN Growth Area and the Asia-Pacific Region.
The Mindanao region, where Davao is located,
plays an important role in the economic development of the Philippines . Davao
City ’s strategic location makes it an
important trade center for the region with its strong international links with neighboring
countries such as Indonesia ,
Malaysia , Brunei , and Australia .
IBM’s commitment and focus
in Mindanao reaches beyond traditional
business frontiers to the local community. The company regularly partners with
local ICT groups, government, business chambers and academic institutions to
actively promote and harness technology for the region’s business and economic
growth.
In 2009, IBM collaborated with the Davao City Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Inc.
to establish the Davao SME Solutions
Center that aims to tap into IBM's expertise
and solutions to support Mindanao ’s Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) sector.
In 2008 and 2011, IBM deployed two teams of
high-performing employees from various parts of the world to Davao as part of the IBM Corporate Service
Corps (CSC) program. IBM’s CSC, often referred to as a corporate
version of the “Peace Corps”, is an innovative employee development training
program which places teams of IBMers into emerging markets for designated pro-bono
projects.
This year, the very first Davao leg of the Computer
Eyes Camp - a two-week computer camp for the visually impaired - was
implemented in cooperation with the Department of Education, Resources for the
Blind (RBI) and IBM. IBM also donated
several KidSmart Early Learning units to the Davao City Government for its
public library and day care programs. IBM’s KidSmart program includes the Young
Explorer, a computer housed in brightly-colored, child friendly Little Tikes
furniture and equipped with award-winning educational software to help children
learn and explore concepts in math, science and language.
The new Davao office located at the IT Building 3, Topaz tower, Damaso IT
Park, JP Laurel Avenue, Lanang, in Davao City was inaugurated during a special
ceremony today attended by the City Mayor, government officials, clients and
business and community partners.
About IBM
Since
establishing its presence in the Philippines in 1937, IBM has
evolved to become the leading information technology partner in the country,
providing hardware, software, and IT-enabled business services to domestic and
global markets. IBM in the Philippines
has grown exponentially in terms of business portfolio, talent growth and
geographic reach.

Instagram Introduces Web Profiles for its Users
While browsing the web earlier, I happened to read about Instagram introducing the public web profile. We all know that users don't have the "user's profile" per se from Instagram, and that users usually used the third-party sites in having an Instagram Profile (such as Webstagram, Instagrille, Gramfeed, etc).
Curiosity got me checking my profile, but alas! I still have to wait a few more days before it will be live/available. :)
I really don't know what's good in having this one, but I am excited to see my profile live!
Below are the FAQs I copied from Instagram's blog site.. :)
Instagram Web Profiles: Common Questions
What are Instagram web profiles?
Instagram web profiles are a beautiful new way to view and share Instagram on the web! Your web profile features your photos along with your profile photo and bio, giving others a look at the content you share on Instagram.
What can I do with Instagram web profiles?
You can share your own profile with anyone you want to see your Instagram photos. In addition, web profiles provide an easy way to follow other users, comment & like photos, and even edit your profile directly from the web.
Why is Instagram launching web profiles?
We’re launching web profiles to give you a simple way to share your photos with more people and to make it easier to discover new users on the web.How do I see my web profile?
To see your profile, or to explore a friend’s profile, simply navigate to instagram.com/[username]. For example, in order to view Nike’s profile, @nike, you’d navigate to instagram.com/nike on the web.Why can’t I see my web profile yet?
Web profiles will launch to all Instagram users in the next week or so. If you can’t see your profile yet, rest assured that you’ll see it in the next few days.Who can see my web profile?
If your photos are set to public, anyone will be able to see your profile by visiting instagram.com/[your username] on the web. You do not have to be an Instagram user to view a public user’s profile on the web.If your photos are set to private, your photos will be visible only to logged-in Instagram users you’ve allowed to follow you.
What photos are included in my web profile?
All photos you’ve shared to Instagram are included in your web profile.My photos are set to “Private” – do I still have a web profile?
Yes, but not everyone will be able to see your photos. Your photos will be visible only to logged-in Instagram users you’ve allowed to follow you.Can I upload photos from the web?
Instagram is focused on the production of photos from mobile devices so users are not currently able to upload from the web. We’re excited about how Web Profiles will make it easier to browse and share content on the web for all our users.Monday, November 5, 2012
The Walking Dead Bids Goodbye to Two Original Casts
Episode 4 of the latest season, two deaths happened.
We never saw this coming but Lori Grimes died after giving birth via C-Section. Shot by her son.
T-Dog gets bitten by a walker – and ultimately dies a hero’s death when he charges a group of walkers to help Carol escape. But then later, Carol went missing. Wondering if she's dead or alive.
This season seems pretty tough hard for Rick Grimes.
Adding to the excitement was that, in Woodbury, the Governor isn't really what he seems to be.

Two Kinds of Happiness
There are two kinds of happiness - the temporary pleasure derived primarily from material comfort alone and another more enduring comfort that results from the thorough transformation and development of the mind. We can see in our own lives that the latter form of happiness is superior because when our mental state is calm and happy, we can easily put up with minor pains and physical discomforts. On the other hand, when our mind is restless and upset, the most comfortable physical facilities do not make us happy.
