I ordered the Pampangan-Style Sizzling Sisig with Egg ($16). I'm not too sure what pampangan-style means but sisig refers to a method of preparing meat where the meat is marinated in a citrus sauce or vinegar, then seasoned with salt, pepper, and other spices. Sizzling Sisig is a traditional dish that is made with a variety of pig parts; in this case, pig ears, snout, cheek, and belly. The belly is cooked three times (boiled, grilled, and sauteed) and then the dish is flavored with garlic and lemon. Other than a few cartilage pieces, there is nothing "strange" tasting in this dish at all. I also happen to love cartilage. You mix the half cooked egg with all the meat, which adds a bit of creaminess. I was slightly disappointed because the belly and cheek portions were not tender and despite being marinated with all those flavors, the meat generally lacked flavor. Luckily, Jufran was able to make it all better.
The meat is brought to you on a sizzling plate and served with a side of sinangag, or garlic rice. The rice was definitely my favorite part of the meal. You could taste each individual grain of rice and every bite had that amazing taste of roasted garlic. The garlic was also subtle enough that it didn't just take over your taste buds and linger in your mouth forever. Since it is a side dish, the rice still tasted like white rice and complemented the flavors of the meat and Jufran.
LAW, N.M., and A.J. all ordered the iLog Breakfast silog (garlic rice + egg) with Longsilog ($11), a sweet, garlicky pork sausage. The sausage was extreeeeeemely soft and juicy due to the high fat content. The flavor of the sausage reminded me a bit of that Taiwanese sausage they sell all over the streets in Beijing (for those of you who have never had one, it tastes very sweet and fatty). The three little sausages ended up being very filling because they were so heavy. I liked my pig snout dish more overall because it was more interesting but liked that the sausage had much more flavor and really didn't need much sauce (other than the vinegar to balance out the fact that it may have been a little too sweet). Again, the rice was the highlight.
M.B. ordered the Barrio Breakfast ($13), which included homemade corned beef hash, two eggs, pandesal (bread), and kamote home fries (sweet potato). The guava jelly and macapuno (coconut) jam actually came with this dish. Surprisingly, the combination of the jam and jelly really did taste a little like peanut butter and jelly. The macauno jam was very creamy and tasted slightly nutty… As you can see, Jufran is being liberally applied to the dish as everything was also a bit bland. Not bland in a bad way, just bland in that I think you are meant to use the sauces to flavor the food, rather than having cooked the food with the sauce. The kamote home fries were my favorite part of this dish. They tasted a little like fried plantains but less sweet and had the texture of a fried sweet potato. Corned beef hash tasted like corned beef hash and went well with the Jufran. Pandesal was not as soft and fluffy as the pandesal I used to have at my friend's house (they are Filipino).
Maharlika was a great option for another brunch alternative. The place was very cute and cozy, and packed in a lot of Filipino families. The typical NYC brunch place, the kind where you have to wait in line for hours for a mimosa and some eggs, is always packed with well-dressed, young New Yorkers; Maharlika provided a nice change. The next time I go, I will definitely try their Mango Stuffed French Toast.
* turns out, Maharlika actually has a brunch dish called the Eggs Benigno. Ah well, at least it's a fun interpretation! Two poached eggs are placed on pandesal (a soft, round, sweet flavored white bread) and served with spam, kalamansi hollandaise (kalamansi is a Filipino citrus fruit that is often mixed with fish sauces and such), kamote home fries (Filipino sweet potato), and maliit salad (small salad) with coconut-sugarcane vinegar dressing.

Mining in Tasmania raises water pollution concerns to a new high
under Environment, News
Tasmania's water pollution is becoming a major problem for local residents and wildlife. A new study discovered that metal contamination in the state's lakes are about as high as they get, raising concerns about the quality of water and food obtained from the region.
The majority of the contamination can be traced to historic mining operations in Rosebery and Queenstown. The new study, which was conducted by the Australian National University, looked at six lakes in Tasmania, including Perched Lake, Lake Cygnus, Lake Dobson and Dove Lake, and found levels of arsenic, lead, cadmium and copper.
Basin Lake and Owen Tarn had the highest levels of water pollution. The levels of contamination are bad enough to equal some of the highest contaminated waterways in the world, including Iran's Shur River and Pakistan's Kurang River.
"The levels of contamination are really, really high," the lead scientist on the study, Larissa Schneider. "They need to do research to know what is happening to the fish and if it's really high… people should not be eating it."
Schneider compared the level of water pollution to what the United States has encountered in some areas of the country. In those cases, local fish populations were severely harmed by the pollutants, which is a major concern because the contamination levels in Tasmania are much higher.

Scientists, for example, discovered an alarming amount of lead contamination in Dove Lake, which could affect native organisms.
The new research argues that the contaminates were spread via atmospheric transport. Mining operations in the 1930s used open cut mining, a popular practice until it was outlawed by the Environmental Protection Act in the 1970s.
Metal contaminates were discovered over 80 miles away from old mining locations, and some of the lakes are in mountainous regions. This suggests that they reached these bodies of water by passing through the air.
Will Hodgman, the premier of Tasmania, discussed the new findings and suggested a form of remediation on the part of government and private industries. The entity that looks after waterways, the Department of Primary Industries, Water and Environment, has not commented on Tasmania's water pollution levels.

Each unit includes two sections: The Head Matters and The Heart Matters. The Head Matters provides you with the knowledge and skills (head) to better manage (behaviors) your personal finances. The Heart Matters are designed to provide you a better sense (heart) of your thoughts, feelings, opinions, and expectations (beliefs) around money.
We've developed this course around the work of the famous cognitive psychologist, Dr. Albert Ellis. Dr. Ellis developed the idea that our unclear thoughts and beliefs can lead to our unhealthy behavior. Cognitive behavioral therapy says that other people, situations and events aren't responsible for your mood and behavior — you are (source: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/cognitive-behavioral-therapy/MY00194).
We are applying his psychological model to personal finance. We base our suggestions, exercises and examples on a blend of past and current research in behavioral science, information from the Financial Planners Association of Colorado and on our conversations with Colorado families and students.
Are our thoughts and feelings about money really that important in personal finance? We assure you; they are. Let's explore how our thoughts and feelings affect our behavior.

Q: engaged_session_event and session_engaged parameters in GA4 Raw Data I am trying to figure out exactly how engaged sessions are calculated in Google Analytics 4. So far I can clearly see that when the event is logged with the session_engaged parameter equal to 1, the session is considered engaged.

However, all of our conversion events are sent via Measurement Protocol, and while the definition of the engaged session states the following: "An engaged session is a session that lasts longer than 10 seconds, has a conversion event, or has at least 2 pageviews or screenviews.", I am not sure the conversion events sent via Measurement Protocol are taken into account.
I can see that the conversion events sent via MP don't have the "session_engaged" event parameter when studying the raw data, but instead there is another one, called engaged_session_event.

So I'm a little bit confused about this and would love to have some clarification as to whether the second parameter makes the session an "engaged one" or not.

A: Good question,
session_engaged is the metric that is commonly used to calculate engagement, an engaged_session_event Includes the number of sessions the user is engaged in.
https://firebase.google.com/docs/remote-config/personalization/bigquery
I suspect, but do not know, that it is an engaged event is triggered inside GA4 with the relevant data not being exported in the raw data so unfortunately no amount of digging will provide the answer. I think this because I can adjust the time element of engagement in my configurations but nothing in the export changes (except the count of engaged sessions)

THE LAST VETERAN • by Therese Arkenberg
February 3, 2011 Every Day Fiction 21 Comments
The memorial to the fallen of the Pan-Atlantic War was a long tube of glossy, storm-gray marble. It reminded Aaron of a sewer pipe, or of the subway passages where he remembered hearing civilians had sheltered some nights when the bombers flew low overhead.
He pressed the button on the arm of his wheelchair and rolled forward another inch, scanning a new column of white names in the blue light from the fluorescent bars in the tunnel ceiling. He was looking, as he had for years, for the name of Naomi Sheldon.
That she was dead he knew; everyone was dead, they told Aaron, except himself. He only wondered if she had died during the war, or after.
Cody West… Susan Alberts… Maria Coffel…
They were listed in chronological order, from the first death (Robert Banks, April 2, 2420) to the last (Terri Kreiger, September 30, 2420). The six months in between were strewn with names, civilians and soldiers both—as casualties of the last war, each one must be remembered.
He could look in the databases, perhaps, and find out about Naomi that way, but the thought didn't sit right. That was the point of this rock tube, that you could look at the names inside it and learn who died. And it wasn't all that important, anyway, to the point that he had to discover the truth so quickly.
He would live a while yet, long enough to learn.
Aaron had never expected to be the last, not during the war, not even after it. There were so many others. But all of them — on both sides, every comrade in arms and every enemy he ever took a potshot at — were gone. Only he remained. If he checked them, the databases would confirm that.
He moved on to the next column.
A little girl's footsteps echoed down the tunnel. Her parents must be the silhouettes he saw against the blinding daylight at the end of the monument — it was hard to make out faces here. Aside from himself, the family were the only ones here. People didn't like to see this monument, to be reminded of the War that Ended Wars. He wondered what the man, the woman, and the child would think if they knew who they shared the marbled space with — the last soldier to have outlived war.
He heard the girl stammer out names — Kev-in Simm-ons, An-a-bell-ahh Coop-per… then, very faintly, so he wouldn't have been certain he had heard it if his pulse hadn't frozen right at that moment, Na-ee-oh-mee Shell-dun.
He looked up. The little shape in the plush pink coat ran down the tunnel, as if running from his gaze, to the two silhouettes in the daylight at the end. Aaron wheeled his chair to the spot he thought she had been standing. He quickly scanned the wall, took in the date inscribed above — August 9, 2420 — sought, found it, found her.
He had seen her for the last time on August fourth. He still felt the pressure of her last chaste kiss against his lips.
Aaron closed his eyes and felt his hands clutch the arms of his wheelchair.
It didn't matter. He would follow her soon enough.
Very soon. The doctors said the reports from his blood scans were poor. They had advised against traveling, even the short trip to the capital, and this monument.
He hadn't listened. Perhaps he had known he would find her this time, on the walls of the tunnel he had been searching for three years, since its rushed completion in 2426, a little after the tests came back proving the level of radiation he had experienced in battle was fatal. As it was for all of them, every soldier who fought in that war. The reason they were all gone.
The last veteran of the Pan-Atlantic War bowed his head.
He was twenty-nine years old.

Breanna Gutheil of Littleton, a sophomore at Nashoba Tech, and the poster she designed that won the Middlesex Partnerships for Youth poster contest.
"Breanna really nailed the concept on this," said Nathan Meharg, an instructor in Nashoba Tech's Design & Visual Communications program, of which Breanna is a student. "She had a great idea and envisioned a strong image right from the start. Combine that with the facts that she draws beautifully and is really good with the software, and we felt pretty certain going in that she was going to be a contender.
"The fact that she was the unanimous favorite out of over 150 entries really highlights that, and we're all very proud of her," he added.
This is the third time in the MPY contest's six years that a Nashoba Tech student's poster has been selected as the winner. In 2015, Tristan Khim of Chelmsford won the contest, and in 2016, the winner was Cheyanne Thistle of Pepperell.
"Our program really tries to push students to focus on the fundamentals of design, and I think it pays off," Meharg said. "In this contest alone, we've had three winners and four honorable mentions since 2013. The kids know that, and it forces them to really step up their game on contests like this."

Becoming an Exponential Enterprise
While technologies are maturing exponentially, organizational structures and processes remain stubbornly linear. Yesterday's best-practices, like the five-year-plan and innovation funnel, aren't sufficient to navigate today's fast-paced, tech-driven world. In this talk, we'll share the key attributes essential to becoming an Exponential Enterprise. We will discuss principles, practice and organizational models that can help even the largest enterprises thrive in an exponentially changing world.
Create Strategic Choices
Building from Future Visioning and Pressure Test Workshops described above, participants create new strategic choices and possibilities to thrive in the future. We conclude the workshop by capturing key insights gained and develop a prioritized road map for action.
Subgroups present to whole group to debrief
In this talk, we examine the fundamental meaning of work — starting with a historic look of why humans work, then overviewing key mega-trends (such as technology, demographics, urbanization, planetary resources) that are disrupting the very norms of work today. The bulk of time is spent on discussing the future of work and its implications to individuals, organizations, governments and society. We explore questions such questions as: What will work look like in the future? Who will it be done by? Where will it take place? How will organizations attract, retain, develop talent in the future? What can organizations do to prepare for the future now? We conclude with practical insights to equip attendees to rethink and reshape their role in the future of work.
Future Visioning
Through an interactive session, uncover the implications of exponential technologies and concepts in 20, 15, 10, 5 years. We create future visions and "retrocast" to the present. Through interactive sessions, participants consider what the future can mean for their organizations. Participants will be led to address key questions as:
– What are the cascading implications of exponential technologies becoming pervasive?
– What are the first and second order effects?
– What behaviors and businesses becomes obsolete?
– What new business opportunities arise over 5, 10, 15 years and beyond?
Introduction to Exponentials
Singularity University was founded on the idea that there are a multitude of emerging technologies that are changing at an exponential pace that will collectively disrupt norms. This talk explores the range of technologies for which exponential dynamics holds true and the implications this has on industry. This talk sets the foundation upon which other technologies and concepts are discussed in Singularity education programs.
Pressure Test Today's Assumptions
Through an interactive session, participants are led to question their status-quo, norms, business model and market assumptions. Participants are then led to develop NEW assumptions for tomorrow that serve as the basis to brainstorm new strategic choices. Participants will be led to address such questions as:
– What assumptions do you hold today that allow for your business model to be successful?
– Based on exponential technologies and concepts discussed, what NEW assumptions will hold
true 10 – 15 years from now?
– Which assumptions from "today" no longer apply?
– How does your business model need to change if these assumptions hold true?
– What current capabilities will you no longer need?
The Six D' of Disruption
"The Six D's are a chain reaction of technological progression, a road map of rapid development that always leads to enormous upheaval and opportunity." — Peter Diamandis and Steven Kotler, Bold
The Six D's framework was created by Singularity University's co-founder, Peter Diamandis. This talk overviews the framework using practical examples and case studies and equips participants to recognize signals of early change in their own industry and business world.
The Six D's are a road map showing what can happen when an exponential technology is born. Not every phase is easy, but the results give even small teams the power to change the world in a faster and more impactful way than traditional enterprises.

Congratulations to Imre Bartos, whose article "A new cosmic messenger" has been picked as one of Physics World's five favourite features of 2018. Taken from the January 2018 issue of Physics World. Members of the Institute of Physics can enjoy the full issue via the Physics World app.
The first observation of gravitational waves from two merging neutron stars that was recently made by the LIGO and Virgo detectors has – along with data from telescopes across the globe and in space – kicked off a new era in multimessenger astronomy. Imre Bartos describes this watershed moment, which crowned decades of research and will shape the future of observational astronomy.
It was almost over. There was only one week to go before the Advanced LIGO and Virgo detectors would complete their observational run, and be shutdown for a year. Indeed, many of my colleagues from the LIGO–Virgo team were already on vacation, while I was awaiting relatives who were visiting. Then my phone buzzed. An automated text message, which read "ALERT FROM GWHEN | New event: G298048 | Check your email!" prompted me to rush to my computer, to look at the signal in a LIGO database. When a flurry of agitated phone calls from collaborators followed, it became clear that a historic moment was unfolding. We observational astronomers needed to act quickly, and as our findings were still a secret, I couldn't even tell my relatives, who had arrived in the middle of the excitement, why I would need to work.
On 17 August 2017 the LIGO detectors in Louisiana and Washington detected gravitational waves from the collision of two neutron stars – ultracompact dead stars that weigh as much as our Sun, but are barely 20 km in diameter, roughly the size of Manhattan. Such an event had been anticipated for decades, but had never been observed until now. Within two seconds of the arrival of gravitational waves at LIGO, NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope detected a short gamma-ray burst. This made it even clearer: the gravitational-wave detection – dubbed GW170817 – was not a false alarm, and observatories across the globe quickly needed to turn towards the direction of the collision, or the data would be lost forever. More than 70 telescopes and observatories around the globe and in space were rapidly notified, and were able to execute a co-ordinated survey of the merger and its aftermath, across the full electromagnetic spectrum – gamma-rays, X-rays, light, radio waves – and neutrinos. A new era in multimessenger astronomy had begun (figure 1).
Neutron-star mergers may be the main source of heavy elements in the universe.
We have a new upper limit on the mass of neutron stars.
The neutron stars in GW170817 orbited each other for billions of years before colliding.
The colliding neutron stars created a gamma-ray burst.
There's something strange about the energetic jet.

CORAL GABLES, Fla. – Coming off a disappointing loss to the No. 3 Tennessee Volunteers, the No. 7 Miami Hurricanes (1-1) will enter their contest against the Panthers of Prairie View A&M (1-0) with a renewed sense of excitement Thursday night.
Prior to the game's 7 p.m. tip-off, the Hurricanes will receive championship rings from their ACC regular season title and will raise their conference championship and NCAA Tournament banners to the BankUnited Center rafters. For the first time since joining the ACC in 2004, the Hurricanes finished the 2010-11 season as conference champions.
"I am so proud of winning a championship for the University of Miami," said head coach Katie Meier. "This athletic department celebrates championships and rings, so its fitting that we can carry on that tradition in women's basketball."
The Hurricanes entered their highly anticipated match-up with the Lady Vols eager for a win against a Top-10 team. Down by as many as eight points in the first period, the Hurricanes fought back to tie the game by halftime. Paced by senior guards Riquna Williams (24 points) and Shenise Johnson (17 points), the Hurricanes kept pace with Coach Pat Summitt's Lady Volunteers for the majority of the game. Despite their hard-fought battle, however, the Hurricanes would fall to the Lady Vols by a final score of 92-76.
After one of their most difficult tests of the season on the road in Knoxville, Tenn., the Hurricanes will be returning home for another match-up against an NCAA Tournament team. The Panthers, who won the Southwestern Athletic Conference Tournament and qualified with an automatic bid, advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the third time in the past five years. The Panthers were bounced by No. 1-seeded Baylor University in the first round of the tournament.
Despite their selection as favorites to win the conference by SWAC coaches, the team returns only two letterwinners from last year's squad that finished 21-12 (14-4 SWAC). The Panthers are led by Preseason All-SWAC First Team selection Latia Williams, who finished the 2010-11 campaign averaging 9.9 points per game.

Loopholes remain in Māui and Hector's dolphin protection
Loopholes remain in Māui and Hector's dolphin protection Loopholes remain in Māui and Hector's dolphin protection Share via e-Mail
Wednesday, 24 Jun 2020
The Government has listened to public demands to save Māui and Hector's dolphins, but loopholes remain in the Threat Management Plan announced today.
Forest & Bird is welcoming significantly greater restrictions on fishing methods that threaten dolphins, and applauding a plan to tackle the disease toxoplasmosis.
However, loopholes in the Threat Management Plan for Māui and Hector's dolphins will leave dolphins at risk.
"Today's announcement gets the country part of the way towards safeguarding Hector's dolphin and turning around the perilous decline of Māui dolphin but more work needs to be done," says Forest & Bird spokesperson Geoff Keey.
"Expanded restrictions on set netting are welcome, but for dolphins to survive and flourish they need to be protected from trawling and set netting out to 100m depth though-out their range."
"More could be done to reduce the threat from trawling, and major gaps in protection remain in the South Island."
One change to the regulations allows the Minister of Fisheries to act immediately to impose restrictions if a dolphin is caught in the Māui dolphin habitat, which is on the west coast of the North Island.
"There are so few Māui dolphins that even a single one being caught is one too many," says Mr Keey.
"If even one Māui dolphin is caught, the trawl fishery in Māui habitat should be closed immediately."
"Seismic surveys and other activities related to oil, gas and other marine mining activities have no place in the dolphins' habitat. Exempting the current 21 oil and gas permit holders from the ban in Māui dolphin habitat means the ban won't be really start until 2046."
"This is a major loophole. Māui dolphins could be extinct before the ban even takes effect."
Forest & Bird is looking for every loophole to be closed to ensure our rare and unique dolphins survive.
"There are only around 60 Māui dolphins over a year old left in the world. The survival of each one counts," says Mr Keey.
"We need to tackle all of the threats caused by humans. This is our last chance, and half measures will not do enough to ensure Māui dolphins will be here for future generations."
Responses to key announcements from the Threat Management Plan for Māui and Hector's dolphins:
A nationwide ban on drift netting is a good tidy up of the rules, but in reality there is already negligible drift netting in New Zealand.
The extension of current set-net closures, and the creation of new areas closed to set-netting, in the North and South Islands is welcome but significant gaps in protection remain that will leave local populations of Hector's dolphin at risk in the South Island, and leave Māui dolphin at risk from trawling.
An extension of the existing area closed to trawling off the west coast of the North Island is welcomed.
A change to the regulations allowing the Minister of Fisheries to act to impose restrictions if a single dolphin is caught in the Māui dolphin habitat should not be discretionary. The trawl fishery in Māui habitat should be closed if a Māui dolphin is caught.
Forest & Bird welcomes support for affected fishers to enable them to change to dolphin friendly fishing methods or leave the industry if they prefer.

A film about two homicide detectives' (Morgan Freeman and (Brad Pitt desperate hunt for a serial killer who justifies his crimes as absolution for the world's ignorance of the Seven Deadly Sins. The movie takes us from the tortured remains of one victim to the next as the sociopathic "John Doe" (Kevin Spacey) sermonizes to Detectives Somerset and Mills -- one sin at a time. The sin of Gluttony comes first and the murderer's terrible capacity is graphically demonstrated in the dark and subdued tones characteristic of film noir. The seasoned and cultured but jaded Somerset researches the Seven Deadly Sins in an effort to understand the killer's modus operandi while the bright but green and impulsive Detective Mills (Pitt) scoffs at his efforts to get inside the mind of a killer...

I just can't stand "true stories' that wander far off the truth path, especially when the falsehoods are used as plot devices. Also when autism is used as a means to characterize personalizes and we don't really scratch the surface of the condition there is a gaping hole in a story that does't need to be there. Understanding autism would greatly balance a movie that stays much too safe. The story is beaten over our heads as we are taken by the hand and guided as if we are unable to understand how predictable the movie is. All that said, if your cup of tea is USA Today type movies that are empty calories and feel good endings this is for you. But for some X + Y = ZZZZZZZ. Final Score: 5.0/10
With an exceptionally British touch to it, 'A Brilliant Young Mind' may not be everyone's cup of tea, but the heartfelt and touching story will win a lot of people over. Asa Butterfield does a brilliant job of portraying an autistic young man who struggles to express or understand his feelings about everything except for Maths which is his guiding light. Along the way, he meets various people who have different effects on him and help him to understand that perhaps there is more to life than he previously thought. At its core, it's about finding your place, particularly when you feel a bit different, and that is something that a lot of people will relate to.
WHAT I LIKED: 'x+y,' (or 'A Beautiful Young Mind' as it's known in the US) is simply one beautiful and emotionally engaging character study that will have you laughing, crying, tensing and smiling throughout. Few movies capture the magic of so many people whilst still retaining the tension and beauty to keep audiences engaged throughout, but a strong script and great performances help to do this whilst delicately bringing some serious themes along the for the ride.WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE: The story intentionally ends with much left out, but I'd have personally appreciated an 5 extra minutes to develop things a little more.VERDICT: A great character study that engages and intrigues more than most. A very, very good movie indeed.

What types of data can law enforcement extract from my phone?
A mobile device is a huge repository of sensitive data, which could provide a wealth of information about its owner and many others with whom the user interacts. Companies like Cellebrite, MSAB and Oxygen Forensics sell software and hardware to law enforcement. Once your phone is connected to one of these mobile phone extraction tools, the device extracts, analyses and presents the data contained on the phone. What data these tools can extract and what method is used will depend on the…

Can the police limit what they extract from your phone?
In the last few months strong concerns have been raised in the UK about how police use of mobile phone extraction dissuades rape survivors from handing over their devices: according to a Cabinet Office report leaked to the Guardian, almost half of rape victims are dropping out of investigations even when a suspect has been identified.

At the border, asylum seekers are "guilty until proven innocent"
There are few places in the world where an individual is as vulnerable as at the border of a foreign country.

Person of Interest Sneak Peek: Will Finch Do The Machine a 'Favor'?
Person of Interest's Harold Finch (played by Michael Emerson) is met with that quandary in this Tuesday's episode (CBS, 10/9c), when Root (Amy Acker) pays a visit to the new "Batcave" (spartan as it is) to ask a favor on behalf of Her.
Elsewhere in the episode, Fusco goes undercover as a poor schlub in need of a professional "wingman" AKA the latest POI.


Chinese electronics company Xiaomi may be best known for its smartphones, but for the past few years the company has been offering fitness trackers, TV boxes, and even blood pressure monitors, among other things.
The company also has a line of smart TVs, and the company's latest is a 60 inch model with a 4K display, a slim design, a relatively low price tag, and an upgradable module that could let you make your smart TV smarter in the future without scrapping the display itself.
The Mi TV 3 is priced at about $786 in China, and it's a big-screen TV with an aluminum frame that's just about 11.6mm thick at the thinnest point and 36.7mm at its thickets.
Xiaomi says the TV supports high color gamut and MEMC motion compensation. But the cool part is the Mi Port which lets you connect the new Mi TV Bar which is sold separately for about $157.
The Mi TV Bar is basically an external sound bar with the guts of an Android computer. The Bar has a quad-core ARM Cortex-A17 processor with Mali-T760 graphics, 2GB of RAM, 8GB of storage, 802.11ac WiFi, Bluetooth 4.1, three HDMI ports, a USB 3.0 port, a USB 2.0 port, an Ethernet jack, VGA port, AV input, and audio output.
As Xiaomi points out, a typical TV can last for 10 years or longer, but smart TV hardware can be outdated in a year or two. Theoretically you could just buy any old TV and keep it smart by plugging in the latest third-party TV box like a Roku, Chromecast, or Amazon Fire TV. But the Mi TV Bar isn't just a media streamer. It's also a speaker system and input device for the TV.
The Mi TV Bar runs Xiaomi's Android-based Mi TV user interface, allowing you to stream internet video and run third-party apps on the TV. And since the audio and video inputs are on the sound bar, you can mount the TV on a wall and run a single cable to the sound bar to hide the usual tangle of wires you'd get when connecting gaming devices and other peripherals to a TV.
Xiaomi has also introduced a $16 Bluetooth voice remote control that looks an awful lot like a cheaper version of the Amazon Fire TV remote, and a $94 Mi Subwoofer 6.5″ speaker unit.
Oh yeah, Xiaomi is also branching out into yet another area: the company has launched a cheap, self-balancing two-wheel scooter called the Ninebot mini.
It's basically a tiny Segway that sells for about $315 and which has a bar that can rest between your knees, but which doesn't go all the way to your hands. You can control it using a smartphone, and Xiaomi says the electric vehicle should be able to travel about 13 or 14 miles between charges.
Though my Sony TV has all the SMrT bells and whistles built in, I'm still a big proponent of using a laptop with HDMI as my home theater engine. All these smaller sticks and boxes don't offer the horsepower of a full fledged computer. Since you have to hook up "something" to extend a TV's usefulness, you may as well connect a laptop ($150-whaterver you want to spend) coupled with a decent wireless keyboard (I use a Logitech K400 with built in track pad – $25-30). You can get decent used laptops for very cheap these days on the classifieds and in fact, some computer recycling places (www.era.ca/volunteer) have programs that if you volunteer for 24 hours, they give you a laptop for free.
if you're using a laptop, you might as well get a mini-PC. it's much more powerful and costs just about the same. Or get a ARM device that performs as well as a cheap laptop for way cheaper.
Maybe you missed my point. I can take my laptop with me and use it anywhere, with or without external monitor (hence the marriage of it's biggest strengths; portability, utility and functionality thanks to being able to run any software ever made for x86). It's the same setup in every environment – no extra pieces required (simplicity). Try that with a mini-pc sans external monitor and especially one running via ARM architecture. Also, show me a mini-PC that can run for 5 or more hours on an internal battery and I might pay attention, and no, car batteries don't count.


Thieves come in all shape and sizes.
Party crashers are never welcome - especially when they steal your snacks.
A group of people in Australia were highly amused when a possum came in, dived into a bag of chips that was on the table, and went on its merry way after it was finished snacking. One person caught the incident on camera, (recorded incident is available in the link below), and wrote: "Whilst having a small party one night myself and friends were greeted by a cute possum which proceeded to jump onto the table and start eating a bag of chips."
In the video, the party-goers didn't shun their uninvited, furry friend - they were rather friendly.


Alberta Environment and Parks Chief Scientist, Dr. Fred Wrona, will offer an overview of change in Alberta's Rocky Mountain ecosystems. From Mount Sprague in Willmore Wilderness Park, to the Kananaskis range just outside the doors of Calgary, to High Rock Range in Southwestern Alberta, these areas are home to some of the most important headwaters in Alberta, providing habitat for an abundance of species, and freshwater for millions of people. To celebrate International Mountain Day, Dr. Fred Wrona will be talking about how climate change and human activities impact the sensitive Rocky Mountain ecosystem, including the scientific assessment of ecological stressors in the Castle Region of Southwestern Alberta.
Dr. Wrona was the Senior Science Strategist and Advisor with Environment Canada. Dr. Wrona was based out of the University of Victoria, where he was a Professor in the Department of Geography and the Water and Climate Impacts Research Centre (W-CIRC).
He currently serves as science advisor to the Arctic Council's Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Program, and is Canada's Head Delegate for the UNESCO-International Hydrology Program (IHP). Dr. Wrona also recently completed his tenure as the Invited Chair of the External Scientific Advisory Committee for the Centre for Environmental and Marine Studies (CESAM) at the University of Aveiro in Portugal.
Well acquainted with the province of Alberta, Dr. Wrona served as the Scientific Director of the Northern River Basins Study (1992-96), and as a member of the International Science Advisory Committee of the Alberta Water Research Institute, which is now part of Alberta Innovates – Energy and Environment Solutions. Over the past year, he has also been the co-chair of the Component Advisory Committee (CAC) for Water with the Oil Sands Monitoring (OSM) program.
Dr. Wrona is renewing his academic ties with the University of Calgary, where he earned his Ph.D. in Aquatic Ecology (1982), and a B.Sc. in Environmental Sciences (1977), and where he was a member of the faculty from 1982 to 2004.

Home Bollywood Why Do Telly Stars Keep Their Marriage A Secret?
The recent controversial marriage of television actors Sara Khan and Ali Merchant in the reality show 'Bigg Boss 4′ has given rise to a big question. Evidences reveal that both the actors got married two years back but they kept it as a secret and married here again in the reality show just to churn out money and increase TRPs for the show.
Now, the question arises that what forced them to hide their marriage when everyone knew that they were dating each other and were also very committed in their relationship. No doubt, the couple was too young to marry then as Sara was only 19 and just started her career in the television industry. But they have not admitted it till today and then re-married on the show.
Most of the television stars live in this fear of losing their fans if they say that they are already married. The same happened with Sara's 'Bidaai' co-star Angad Hasija, who maintained his single status in the public forum until early this year when he declared that he is married and just wanted to settle in the industry before being tagged as a married man. Another popular actor from the same show, Kinshuk Mahajan, also shied away from his committed status until his track in the show ended.
It seems that tele-stars have become more conscious about their fan following than the Bollywood stars. We can understand this trick in the case of female stars because they hardly get any lead role following marriage but why are the male stars so bothered? Only handful of the viewers may be concerned about their marital status but it hardly affects their popularity or fan list. We hope the television stars realize the reality and come out with their marital status in time without keeping their fans in the dark.
