pink visual is also active in giving back to the community and supporting charitable causes , from making regular donations to groups like trees for the future , supporting its local community food bank , and leading an industry - wide campaign to help with relief efforts in the gulf coast region following the calamitous bp oil spill of 2010 .
“you can practically see our new pink flux from outer space , ” said christopher nash , pcba new product development manager . “of course , that is an exaggeration , but it is very easy to visually inspect . this allows quick confirmation that the flux is present while setting up the process or performing visual process verification . ”
my focus here is on the role of visual ethnography in the process of exploring other people ' s ( diverse ) representations of their experiences of the same urban context . i am concerned with what the visual ethnographer might learn from an analysis of how people create , use , narrate and visualise routes of movement around urban contexts in order to represent ways of experiencing a town . there are multiple ways of moving around urban contexts , using different technologies both for mobility and for its ( audio ) visualisation . this implies two main research tasks : the first is to examine local productions of routes and visual cultures by focusing on local mobility and media practices . the second involves using ( audio ) visual media to collaboratively produce contexts of
knowing
( wenger , 1998 ) and ethnographic knowledge ( including the production of images / audiovisual texts ) with local people . here i address both these elements of the visual ethnography process to explore how urban
places
might be made through , on the one hand , local visual practices , and on the other , the ethnographer ' s visual practices . of course these experiences and practices are not simply visual , rather the visuality of them is embedded in multisensorial experiences and contexts and is inextricably tied to the use of verbal , tactile and other forms of communication .

pink visual ' s observations are consistent with ipad user engagement metrics recently published by textplus , pointroll and admarvel . in a joint release from the three companies issued last week , the marketing and ad tracking firms reported that advertising interaction rates for ipad users were up to six times the average among desktop users in comparable ad campaigns .

boyer wanted to make it clear that pink visual managers aren ' t fans of illegal file sharing and he argued that piracy has cut deeply into the porn sector ' s revenue . the company doesn ' t criticize other companies for taking a different approach to piracy , and added ,
who knows , we could be wrong .
. some visual ethnography research contexts do not offer the luxury of
waiting to see what happens
. when this is possible it can bring more relevant knowledge . [
she told the press association : “whilst we will undoubtedly have tens of thousands of fans of pink floyd , we will also get people who probably know very little of pink floyd and i hope for those people , as much for the others , that it will be opening their eyes of a moment when music set the cultural experience .
adult web hosting – van nuys , calif . – with the u . s . government - sponsored “cash for clunkers” program coming to an end , adult film studio pink visual and its gay counterpart male spectrum have decided to take it upon themselves to pick up the torch and give consumers another opportunity at much needed savings on critical products .
additionally , a number of other projects which utilised panasonic av technology were also shortlisted within the project categories , including the university of leeds collaborative lecture theatre project with pure audio visual ltd , drake tour with prg ltd , the maersk building at copenhagen university with stouenborg , cardiff university with harmonia consulting ltd and the pink floyd exhibition with sennheiser .
this friday on sex out loud , i interview allison vivas , president of pink visual , two - time winner of xbiz award for adult industry woman of the year and recent recipient of free speech coalition’s leadership award . under allison’s guidance , pink visual has established a strong reputation within the adult entertainment industry as an innovative , forward - thinking brand that focuses as much on developing excellent technology as it does on creating high quality adult entertainment . she recently published the book “ making peace with porn : adult entertainment and your guy “ , which incorporates personal stories , clinical statistics , and the history of adult entertainment to explain why porn might not be such a bad thing after all .

los angeles , ca - - ( marketwire - january 20 , 2010 ) - pink visual , the adult studio behind mobile porn sites like ipinkvisual . com , ipornopass . com , urltoken and imalespectrumpass . com , has announced a version of their flagship site entirely focused on bringing mobile porn to phones running the android os : dpinkvisual . com .

while the end times did not , in fact , arrive in may , certain los angeles porn people are among the earthly denizens who believe that an apocalyptic event will take place next year . according to cbs los angeles , adult - entertainment producer pink visual has begun construction on an underground porn bunker so that filming may continue apace even if there is indeed a global catastrophe . and , oh , how swanky it is ! expect fully stocked bars ( of course ) , a stage , and tricked - out production studios . the bunker is designed to hold up to 1 , 500 people , with employees , actors / actresses , and twitter followers taking priority . said a pink visual spokesperson :
our team ' s conversation kept coming back around to things like the importance of adjusting our business model , and a clear desire on the part of the consumer for more flexibility , easier access and more convenience ,
pink visual president allison vivas told xbiz .
it all sort of clicked together , and the urltoken concept was born .
as part of its new best practices doctrine , pink visual has published a clear anti - piracy notice to its subscription site customers , reminding them of the potential consequences for illegally sharing copyrighted content . the company is also restricting downloadable content such that only its long - term members will have that capability , and blocking the use of mass download managers .
i soundly recommend this book . sarah pink has made a solid contribution to qualitative research in an era of increasing interest and ubiquity of images both traditional and digital . graduate students will find this textbook helpful in the general philosophies of the qualitative tradition and specifically in the nascent understandings and implementation of visual methods . practicing researchers will also find guidance in how to incorporate the visual into an existing qualitative repertoire . while i appreciate her intent on writing for an audience of
ethnographers wanting to incorporate the visual into their work as well as for photographers and video makers seeking an understanding of ethnography
( p . 1 ) , i am not sure of the feasibility of this attempt . by writing for both audiences , i wonder if qualitative researchers will become mired down in the conceptual explanations of paradigmatic issues surrounding this type of social science research as they seek the specifics of visual methods .

it ' s also not surprising that the site comes from pink visual , whose slogan is

van nuys , ca - - ( marketwire - april 1 , 2010 ) - adult entertainment studio pink visual announced today the launch of urltoken ( pinkvisualpad . com ) , a new website that is optimized for viewing on the much - anticipated ipad from apple , which is due to hit shelves in the u . s . this saturday , april 3 .
boyer adds that pink visual is still debating how to select the chosen few invitees .
it ' s probably going to be a combo of merit - based - - what sort of skill set can you bring down with you ? - - and a lottery that favors our fans and members ,
he says . probably also biased toward applicants sans hiv .
of this classic text includes new chapters on web - based practices for visual ethnography and the issues surrounding the representation , interpretation , and authoring of knowledge with the rise of digital media .
we knew the ipad would be a big hit with consumers , and that ' s why we had a site optimized and waiting for ipad porn - seeking customers from day 1 ,
said kim kysar , brand and product manager for pink visual .
that said , even we have been surprised by how urltoken ( pinkvisualpad . com ) has taken off .

last december , singer also acquired several retail outlets as well as the philips and kenwood brands from hayleys . consequently singer saw market opportunity for a new chain of multi - brand retail stores that would be differentiated from singer plus said singer ( sri lanka ) chairman hemaka amarasuriya : ‘at singer , we never stop dreaming and seizing opportunities . our dreams for the sri lankan people are big and when we saw an opportunity for a new retail channel we decided to offer the market sisil world . we plan to move sisil world rapidly into the no . 2 slot in the appliance market behind singer plus with the same culture of customer care . ’a new brand name was necessitated since the ‘sisil’ brand represented a renowned product range in sri lanka while the new retail chain would include the sisil brand as well as other world marques . thus was coined the brand ‘sisil world which means sisil and much more .
sisil is the daughter of gary and linda geist . her father was a long - time madera business owner , and her mother was employed at baltimore aircoil for 31 years . having worked in her father’s manufacturing shop , sisil knows how to weld , drive a truck and trailer , and is at home on a tractor .

the city of syracuse is located on the east coast of sicily and was originally a greek colony founded by corinth in 734 bce . the city enjoyed a period of expansion and prosperity under the tyrant gelon in the 5th century bce , survived a two year siege by athenian forces from 415 to 413 bce , and again prospered under the tyrant dionysius in the 4th century bce when the city controlled much of sicily and large portions of southern italy .
the colony was in fact first established on the small island of ortygia , chosen for its natural harbours and spring water , but the community quickly spread to the main island , both settlements being linked by a man - made causeway . the aristocratic - led government achieved a period of prosperity which is evidenced in the archaic period by the city founding its own colonies of helorus , acrae , camarina , and casmanae . also dating to this period are remains of 6th century bce temples dedicated to zeus , apollo , and athena .
democracy was established in the polis following a popular uprising led by hippocrates . however , this was short - lived , for in c . 491 bce the tyrant gelon took power and , building up the greatest army in greece and defeating the carthaginians at the battle of himera in 480 bce , he established a lengthy period of peace which brought a golden age for syracuse . the city also gained something of a reputation as a cultural centre and such literary greats as aeschylus , simonides , and pindar all spent time in syracuse . hieron continued gelon’s expansionist policies by taking territory to the north which included tyche and neapolis . in addition , the opportunity was taken to re - construct the temple to athena .
the city gained something of a reputation as a cultural centre and such literary greats as aeschylus , simonides , and pindar all spent time in syracuse .
following the death of hieron , democracy was restored but at the cost of losing the territorial gains the city had made . similar in nature to athens , the polis was governed by a council and popular assembly with an executive consisting of elected generals or stratēgoi . wars against athens from 427 to 424 bce and again between 415 and 413 bce tested the resilience of the democracy , but ultimately syracuse would be victorious , and with further reforms by diocles , the democratic nature of syracuse’s political structure was further strengthened .
athens’ attempted invasion of sicily from 415 bce was originally masterminded by the athenian general alcibiades and it would become one of the major conflicts in the greek world . the invasion became known as the sicilian expedition , and the initial premise for athens’ attack was a response to a call for help by the ally polis of egesta . the athenians and their allies formed a massive flotilla consisting of some 134 triremes which carried 5 , 100 hoplites and 480 archers . cavalry was notably absent , but it was probably the intention of the athenians to recruit locally on arrival in sicily . in this respect , though , they were to be sorely disappointed with the level of local assistance offered , despite many poleis being athenian allies . the syracusan response to the crisis seems to have been rather muddled ; however , forces were sent from allies such as sparta and corinth and the city set itself for a protracted resistance .
the athenians attacked and established a beach head in the harbour of syracuse , but their lack of cavalry meant they could not follow up this initial victory . given breathing space , the syracusans strengthened their fortifications . the athenians , meanwhile , attempted to block off the city from the rest of the island by building a huge wall . things looked bleak for syracuse but , just when needed , a relief force from corinth led by the able commander gylippus swung the initiative back with the defenders , and from 414 to 413 bce they began to build counter walls to block the athenian one . in 413 bce the athenians won a naval battle in the harbour but at the cost of losing their three forts on land to gylippus’ forces . later in the year , the syracusans won a naval battle by employing ramming tactics against the lighter athenian ships which were unable to manoeuvre in the confined space of the harbour . however , in another twist , demosthenes finally arrived from athens with a relief force for the attackers and he promptly launched a night attack . local knowledge of terrain proved invaluable , though , and the syracusans won a decisive victory . a third and final naval battle was won by syracuse which ended any further ambitions of the athenians to continue the conflict . in a brutal retreat from the island , thousands of athenian soldiers were killed or enslaved and the two generals nicias and demosthenes were executed . syracuse had somehow survived its greatest threat to her independence and would go on to enjoy a great period of prosperity whilst athens , although fighting on for another ten years , would ultimately lose the peloponnesian war against sparta .
a long period of tyranny was established in syracuse with the arrival of dionysius i ( c . 430 - c . 367 bce ) . four wars against carthage rocked the early years of his tyranny , but from the early 4th century bce the city enjoyed another period of prosperity . fortifications were constructed which stretched a full 27 km around the city , and syracuse could now claim control over most of sicily and even parts of southern italy . dionysius was famous not only as a great military commander and politician but as a patron of the arts . he was also credited with innovative military tactics not previously employed by greek armed forces - the use of artillery , catapult , siege - craft , and the quinquereme for example . he never achieved his ambition of kicking the carthaginians out of sicily but he did achieve lasting fame as one of the greatest leaders to grace the stage of history .
dionysius was succeeded in c . 367 bce by his son dionysius ii who ruled for a decade and found time to study under plato before being overthrown by dion in 356 bce . following a period of instability and decline in the city’s fortunes , the corinthian timoleon established an oligarchy in 344 bce which lasted until 317 bce when agathocles seized power , declaring himself king in c . 305 bce and reigning until his death in 289 bce . hicetus became tyrant for a decade starting in 288 bce , during which time he lost another war with carthage . his successor , pyrrhus , was more successful but struggled to recall the heady days of dionysius .
a period of revival , not only commercially but also culturally speaking , was achieved under hieron ii , and new significant building projects included a massive theatre ( 238 - 215 bce ) , a huge stoa , and a 200 metre long altar to zeus eleutherius . however , syracuse’s position as a fully independent state was coming to an end , and when hieronymus sided with carthage against rome , the fate of the city was sealed . after a long siege from 213 to 211 bce , syracuse was sacked by the roman commander marcus claudius marcellus . this was despite the syracusans benefitting from the inventions of one of their famous sons , archimedes , who created weapons such as the ' iron hand ' which could pluck enemy soldiers from their positions and then drop them from a great height .
still important in roman times , the city became the provincial capital , albeit also a civitas decumana and obliged to pay tax to rome . in 21 bce augustus created a colonia and the city was also beautified with a new square and triumphal arch and benefitted from a new aqueduct and amphitheatre . the city continued as a significant settlement well into the 3rd century ce and impressive catacombs attest to its role as an important christian centre up to the 7th century ce . in 878 ce the city was captured by arabs , bringing to a close the city’s long history as a bastion of greek and roman culture .
