How did you find out you had mesothelioma? Did you have symptoms, or a random chest x-ray? Do you know how you were exposed to asbestos?
I had suffered with endometriosis for a long time. Having a hysterectomy in 2000, I thought all my pain in my left side would go and I could start living again. My first major 'Meso Session' hit in the October of 2000. I had had earlier warnings covering the previous 2 years, but nothing like this.
I couldn't breathe without feeling like my lung was sticking to my ribs. The pain was terrible across my back, left ribs, and chest. I was diagnosed with viral pleurisy, as it seemed to diminish in a day. These events continued every 3 months and by 2002 I had pain that lasted longer than a week at a time, but nothing was found. I was sure I had endometriosis in the lung and finally found a doctor who would listen to me. In the September of '03 I was shown my MRGI scan. The radiologist had taken a freeze frame of my chest region, which showed white spots right across it. The conclusion was endometriosis and I was started on various hormone treatments. By January 2004 I was never pain free; my back, neck and left side hurt constantly. Finally I was given a walk-in clinic access to a chest physician, as the pains were now constant. After a few more months of having x-rays, in the August of '04, he sent me for an exploratory operation where the surgeon used Video Assisted equipment. I was told I had mixed mesothelioma, which I didn't understand, and that I probably had less than a year to live.
In the January of '04, asbestosis was being advertised by solicitors on TV looking for people who could make claims. My father would say, "I am sure I have that, we worked in it all day." So all I can presume is it came from my Dad's overalls. Although, once I was diagnosed, he never mentioned it again. I think he felt guilty for what was happening to me.
What treatment did you have, and what stage were you in when treatment started? What is the prognosis now?
I think I was very lucky being diagnosed when I was. My surgeon had done a remarkable job in taking every bit of mesothelioma out of my chest. In those days, a pleurectomy decortication wasn't heard of, but he had removed quite a portion of the pleura as well as two large tumors from my lung. Although I was not informed at this time, I had mesothelioma. I was quite ill after this operation and needed to go back for further surgery as my lung was bleeding and I couldn't breathe. Three weeks later, I went back and had a pleurodesis. On the 26th of August, my husband and I were led to a small side room and told the news. I was totally shocked to hear what I thought was going to be a rare form of endometriosis was actually a terminal cancer. My surgery was followed by radiotherapy treatments on the 3 drain sites, but following that there was no other treatment and I was given some information on palliative care.
In the December of '04, Premetrexed had 3 trial places left in the Northeast and I was offered a place. I was so pleased, thinking this would certainly keep me cancer free.
Unfortunately, the cancer returned in early 2006. I think the doctors didn't really want to hear this, as there was nothing they could do then. It took them another year to acknowledge I was right and the mesothelioma was growing. I suffered a lot of heart pain this time too. By the time I re-challenged with Premetrexed and Carboplatin, the mesothelioma had grown to over 2 cm from a clean start. It doesn't sound like much but if you encircle your whole lung with 2 cm your volume becomes a lot less. I also had various larger tumors, one of which was causing a lot of pain above the kidney.
Unfortunately, the chemotherapy didn't hold the cancer back longer than 4 months. I was now in the unknown and looking for treatments. I found cryoablation and flew to the United States where I had 2 treatments in 2008. In January 2009, I finally went in for the pleurectomy decortication\EPP surgery in Sheffield, UK. The operation was some 9 – 10 hours and, until it was over, I wasn't sure what I would come out of surgery with. I lost my pleura, pericardium and diaphragm. I have always been lucky at recovery speed and came home 11 days later. Unfortunately my left lung would not stick and I came home with drain insitu, hoping the air leak I had would shrink. I really believed this time I had finally won the battle.
In the April of '10 I knew something was wrong and on my CT Scan 3 small tumors appeared. My mesothelioma began to grow once again. I patiently waited a year and in April '11, I flew back to the States and had another round of cryoablation on the largest tumors. Killing 3 tumors made me feel a lot better, even though I knew others were sprouting around the lung. Getting rid of 3 felt like a victory over the mesothelioma.
In September '12, I knew the mesothelioma had once again attacked my pericardium. I was having night sweats more frequently and a heavy pain in my heart region; a slow aching that turns to acute pain. My next CT scan confirmed thickening and fluid around the heart, together with slow multiple growths around the lung.
I began a re-challenge of Premetrexed and Carboplatin in November, but my body had a severe allergic reaction when I was receiving the 2nd dose. Now I am in no man's land. I am not allowed to have Carboplatin and I know from previous experience that the Premetrexed doesn't do much without the Carboplatin, having had to drop the Carboplatin in my 2007 re-challenge.
You ask about staging. In the UK, we don't tend to use staging as much as they have seen some diagnosed with T2 die long before someone diagnosed with T4N. It seems mesothelioma doesn't play by any rules.
How do you feel this experience has affected your family?
It was a shock to us all. My dad died from a stroke shortly after I was diagnosed and my mother just couldn't cope. The longer I have survived, the better my brothers do. The main person it has affected is my husband. It is and has been extremely hard for him to handle. At first he seemed to lock it out and not want to talk about it with me, unless we had an appointment. But as the years have gone on I bring it up more and more. He won't get involved with any organizations or go to any meetings that have anything to do with mesothelioma. We went to one in '05 at Newcastle. Everyone there was a widow or widower and he didn't want to see that. He wanted to see hope, not death.
Over the years I have made decisions about what treatment route to take next, I don't worry about the outcome or the "what if I die while doing this?", but my husband does. After every treatment (the worst being surgery), he was the person who looked after me, put me back together, and motivated me to get back to health. I guess because of him I do these things. I don't want to ever be without him.
At times I am sure my mesothelioma has affected his life more than my own.
You are an important and inspirational Meso Warrior. How do you stay so positive?
Being positive all the time is impossible, although I am lucky to be able to continue working as this gives me an escape from cancer. My mind can't cope with two things at once anymore, so when I work I am totally focused on my job.
My outlet for anger, as I never want to burden my friends or family with it, is my blog. I found a circle of friends in the same situation through the blog and their contact has helped me stay positive. After quite a lot of pressure from some of them I have finally submitted to joining Facebook, and that can help you stay positive when you read others have come as far and are still going strong.
How has meeting the other Meso Warriors changed your life?
Meeting others with mesothelioma gives you hope. Hope that all our voices are reaching out and making changes to legislation about the use of asbestos. Our numbers are increasing, which is sad, but researchers now have to look into a cure. Becoming a part of a whole bigger picture with Facebook and coming to terms with how many more people are diagnosed today than ever before worries me.
I enjoy supporting the cause and doing the occasional TV interviews or newspaper articles to get the word out. People are still quite ignorant of the damage asbestos can do, until it actually involves someone in their own family. I have to admit; in 2004 I didn't really know anything about what asbestos could do.
Helping each other is a heartwarming experience, I may be a long term survivor that gives hope to someone just setting out on this journey, just as other Warriors have given me hope. We are all working towards to same goal, find something to turn terminal into chronic, take our death sentence away, and stop causing others to go through the same health risk.
What is the best advice you would give to someone just beginning his or her battle with this disease?
Make notes about how you feel. Keep records of tablets, aches, and pains. These will help you in future years and also help your oncologist.
Find a good oncologist who has some, if not a lot, of understanding about mesothelioma. If they think it's just another cancer, then find someone else.
Listen to what treatments they have to offer. Weigh up how fit and healthy you are. Can surgery be one of the last treatments you can do, or is it the first to aim for? Many still believe the doctor should be the driving force in directing what treatment route to take. If the doctor is experienced then listen to him. I've had to pretty much guide my own treatment over the years and it becomes tiring. You must remember every step of the way that this is your life you are putting into someone else's hands. You must trust them and have a good relationship if you are letting them guide you.
Research everything. The internet is the starting point. Do not believe articles that say "we can cure you of mesothelioma with our new tonic." It doesn't work. Read articles on healthy eating; some alternative foods and therapies can help. You know your body. Get to understand which pains are what. When you go through chemo you will notice which pains have gone but unless you write them down you will never remember them all.
I know it sounds weak but do stay positive. Don't dwell on having a death sentence – look at it as an early warning signal. Go out and enjoy life, don't spend it worrying from one appointment to the next. Easier said than done, but you have to - otherwise you will spend your life feeling down and depressed.
I remember between radiotherapy and chemotherapy having a week's holiday. I did the same between cycle 1 and 2 of my first chemotherapy. You know when scans are due, so in between ensure you are making good memories. When in treatment, try and plan the times you won't be on treatment. Above all be your normal.
Lastly, if you are making a legal claim, do it early into your diagnosis.

Q: Business Central call a DMN file from another DMN I am using RedHat Business Central and trying to call one DMN file from another.
Use case - if salary > 40000 then calculate Tax from firstdmn else from seconddmn.

I have added a context and literal expression in the Tax DMN decision and included a model below. But Don't know how to proceed further. Please suggest what to do.

A:
Use case - if salary > 40000 then calculate Tax from firstdmn else from seconddmn. [...] But Don't know how to proceed further. Please suggest what to do.

Here is an example using Red Hat Business Central, the Drools DMN open source engine and Scenario Simulation. Also this example is making use of best practices from DMN methodologies advising for Import and re-use of Business Knowledge Model nodes (or alternatively Decision Services)
Starting with a skeleton of the model as partially suggested you suggested:

In this model, we defined a BKM for a function that calculates Tax as 20% (mnemonic: this is the first DMN model, so ten percent). This is represented with the BKM called Tax10.
Then we define in the second DMN model, a BKM for a function that calculates Tax as 20% (mnemonic: second DMN model, twenty percent):

We go back to the first DMN model, and we Import the second one we just defined:

We can now include the imported BKM from the second model, into the DRG:

Now the FEEL literal expression matches your original requirement:

We can use Scenario Simulation to verify, test and non-regression test the requirements:

This is as expected, when salary is above 40K we used Tax10, else from second model we used Tax20.

Kurdish melodies
Kurdish songs collection by Komitas
"Kurdish melodies" (Armenian: Քրդական եղանակներ, romanized: K'rdakan yeghanakner, lit. 'Kurdish melodies',[1][2] Kurdish: Awazên Kurdî[3]) is a collection of Kurdish folk songs collected and transcribed by Armenian composer Komitas during field work among Kurds and published in December 1903.[4] Despite collecting a large amount of Kurdish melodies, most of them were lost and Kurdish melodies became the only publication of Kurdish songs by Komitas.[5][6] Kurdish melodies would consequently become the first publication of Kurdish music.[4]
Mount Ararat, 1901 by H. F. B. Lynch
In his transcription, Komitas stayed loyal to the authentic structure of the songs and kept the unique Kurdish melodic structure.[7] Most of the songs were epic songs.[8] Komitas aspired to write down, preserve and make available the musical national heritage of the Kurdish people. For this, he sought to rest on authenticity. Moreover, he was keen on not collecting songs from the cities since these were corrupted and therefore spent most of his time in villages among locals.[6] He began collecting Kurdish songs in the mid-1800s before returning to Echmiadzin in 1899.[9]
The songs were collected around Mount Ararat.[10]

AMU Emergency Management Original Public Safety
Dorian Aftermath Illuminates Bahamas' Immigration Issues
By Allison G. S. Knox 11/08/2019
By Allison G. S. Knox
Contributor, EDM Digest
Major disasters often illuminate complicated social problems in affected communities. For example, Hurricane Dorian brought to life numerous social issues in the vulnerable areas of the Bahamas. Immigration was one of those issues.
Start an Emergency & Disaster Management degree at American Military University.
Immigration is a complicated public policy issue that has been a concern for decades in the United States. Many elected officials have attempted to tackle this problem with a variety of policies, law enforcement and other administrative tools.
But immigration is not just a U.S. problem. Dorian left a devastating path of destruction in the Bahamas that revealed the immigration policies of other nations.
Undocumented Immigrants Are Afraid to Ask for Assistance
Some Bahamian immigrants living in the U.S. on temporary protected status (TPS) since the 2010 earthquake worry about hurricane assistance for their fellow citizens at home because of their immigration status. Trump administration officials "have decided against TPS for Bahamians because of unspecified 'statutory obstacles,' the time relief would take and the number of people whom the policy would cover," according to CNN.
A letter that the Miami-based Family Action Network Movement and other groups sent to Bahamian Prime Minister Hubert Minnis said: "Access to hurricane relief efforts after a natural disaster is a fundamental human right, seeking these services should never lead to detention or deportation. Fear in Haitian immigrant communities is at an all-time high and, without intervention, will prevent needy families from accessing vital services, including asking for shelter in public facilities, when needed, and protecting or assisting others."
This isn't a new problem, unfortunately. Some undocumented immigrants in the United States are reluctant to get medical care because they're afraid that they might be found out and deported.
When undocumented individuals are also afraid to ask for medical help, they can create life-threatening situations.
Immigration as an Obstacle to Leaving an Uninhabitable Place
Undocumented immigration also creates foreign policy and administrative issues that Hurricane Dorian revealed. Recently, The Washington Post reported that President Trump would not change immigration policies to accommodate Bahamian refugees, some of whom attempted to enter the United States, but were turned away, according to CNN.
While many Americans were outraged by these reports, immigration policies in the United States are strict because of numerous security problems. The hurricane didn't bring this issue to light, but it did demonstrate situations when one might question whether our immigration policies are too strict or exactly as they need to be.
Should There Be Exceptions to Immigration Policy after Major Disasters?
Should there be exceptions to immigration policies when there are major disasters? Wouldn't exceptions and more relaxed policies create loopholes allowing criminals to enter the country? Aren't these the questions lawmakers ask? The only difference here is that these questions come in the context of a major disaster.
Immigration isn't exactly a public policy initiative that has an easy fix. In fact, immigration is far more complicated than many people realize. Hurricane Dorian illuminated some of the problems undocumented immigrants face.

"I decided I didn't want to run for President, and I wasn't going to be the third baseman for the St. Louis Cardinals, so I became an attorney.
I'm a litigator because I like to compete and win. That was true when I was younger and played baseball, and it's one of the reasons I like politics today. I enjoy being involved with teams of people working for a common goal that really matters.
At Brooks Pierce, complex litigation is a team sport. There are two (or sometimes, more) sides, and a clear set of rules. Not always, but most of the time, the team that works the hardest, that hones their natural talents, that prepares the most thoroughly, wins. I pride myself and our team on working hard and smart to win for our clients."

Brazilian GP 2015
Practice 1 Report - The Club of 1
Lewis Hamilton, Brazilian GP 2015
© Active Pictures
Only one driver was able to lap below the one minute 14 second barrier in Free Practice 1, and that was Lewis Hamilton who clocked a 1:13.543 in his Mercedes. He was much quicker than his teammate Nico Rosberg and Ferrari drivers Sebastian Vettel who rounded out the top three.
The line-up for the weekend was: Mercedes Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg. Red Bull Renault Daniel Ricciardo and Daniil Kvyat. Williams Mercedes Felipe Massa and Valtteri Bottas. Ferrari Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen. McLaren Honda Fernando Alonso and Jenson Button. Force India Mercedes Nico Hulkenberg and Sergio Perez. Toro Rosso Renault Max Verstappen and Carlos Sainz. Lotus Mercedes Romain Grosjean and Pastor Maldonado. Marussia Ferrari Will Stevens and Alexander Rossi. Sauber Marcus Ericsson and Felipe Nasr.
This is, of course, the home race for Massa and Nasr, and the latter is participating in his first Brazilian Grand Prix.
"It's always a big pleasure to be here," Massa said, "racing at home, where I was actually born, where I actually started learning anything about racing on the other side of the wall on the go-kart track and then to have a chance to race here, in a place where I remember going to the grandstand and standing up every lap that a Brazilian guy was passing, so it's really a dream for us to race here.
"A big welcome for Felipe (Nasr) for his first time here and I'm really looking forward to do an amazing race. Fortunately, I managed to win two times here and I'm really looking forward to having another opportunity to achieve another victory here, which is like a dream for us. So we'll try everything we can."
Jolyon Palmer replaced Grosjean in FP1, and he was the first out on the 2.677mile (4.309-km) 15turn Carlos Pace Autodrom.
15 minutes into the session, Rosberg set a time of 1:15.940. At this stage only the Toro Rosso teammates were up on the board with Rosberg who had now done a 1:15.564.
17 minutes into the session, Hamilton took over first with a 1:15.102 as Rosberg lowered his own time to a 1:15.124.
20 minutes into the session, and the Mercedes drivers were on the move as Hamilton did a 1:14.675 and Rosberg a 1:14.974.
23 minutes into the session, everybody was on the track except Raikkonen and Stevens.
30 minutes into the session, the top 10 were: Hamilton, Rosberg, Vettel, Ricciardo, Perez, Kvyat, Hulkenberg, Sainz, Button and Bottas. Everybody was using the medium compound Pirelli slicks with the white sidewalls. Raikkonen was last having done 4 laps but not having set a lap time.
38 minutes into the session, Raikkonen headed out while the rest of the drivers remained in the garages as the midpoint of FP1 approached. He moved into fourth place with a 1:15.110.
45 minutes into the session, Raikkonen improved to a 1:14.735 to take over third while Verstappen moved into fourth.
Midway through FP1 the top six were: Hamilton, Rosberg, Raikkonen, Verstappen, Vettel and Ricciardo.
With 36 minutes remaining in the session, Vettel went into first with a 1:14.233. But Rosberg then beat that with a 1:14.090. Vettel improved to a 1:14.168.
With 29 minutes remaining in the session, Hamilton went to the front with a 1:13.543. Rosberg lowered his time to a 1:14.062.
Ricciardo improved to fourth place, so with 15 minutes remaining in the session, the top six were now: Hamilton, Rosberg, Vettel, Ricciardo, Raikkonen and Kvyat. Bottas, Verstappen, Hulkenberg and Maldonado rounded out the top 10.
With 10 minutes remaining in the session, Raikkonen had a spin at Turn 4.
With 6 minutes remaining in the session, every driver was out on the circuit.
The top 10 at the end of FP1 were: Hamilton, Rosberg, Vettel, Ricciardo, Raikkonen, Kvyat, Bottas, Verstappen, Hulkenberg and Maldonado.


Google had released the developer preview of Android L on the Nexus 5 and the Nexus 7 while those using the older Nexus 4 were left out. The Nexus 4 users were wondering whether their phone will get the final version when it releases this year. Since the Nexus devices are Google's developing devices, all the version releases first are tried out and released on them itself.
A couple of Google employees were spotted on Google's support forums running a build of Android L (not released yet) on their Nexus 4. This does not really confirm that the Nexus 4 will get the final version. Just so that you know, the cheaper Motorola and Android One devices are expected to get the Android L update when it releases. Android One is doing good and is competing with the Moto E. Micromax, Karbonn and Spice have released Android One in India with a couple of handsets that are available via online stores. Lava and Intex are yet to released their Android One device in early 2015 according to news. A new version of Android One is also supposed to be released very soon on other handsets by different companies which will tie up with Google.


Boy Scout Troop 12 of Edison recently held its annual Fred Langenohl Memorial Awards Dinner, where four Eagle Scouts from Edison and Metuchen were recognized. The troop is chartered by the Washington School PTO and belongs to the Raritan Valley District of the Patriots' Path Council.
Troop 12 Scouts in grades 5 through 12 have been serving the community since 1917. The following Scouts were celebrated for earning Scouting's highest rank: Akshay Malik, Eli Hines, Patrick Reid and Liam Weeks.

I have tried lots of cases, so I finally found the problem with last domain like .com and .org which are internationalize domains. So instead of "testabghtmail@gmail.com" if I pass "testabghtmail@gmail.dom" it will work perfectly fine.
My code is
@RequestMapping(value = "users/{emailId:.*}", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public Object searchUser(@PathVariable("emailId") String emailId){
        logger.info("Inside search user --> emailId " + emailId);
        return userService.findUserByuserId(emailId);

A: I found no answer to this. I think it's an http rule we can't have domains at last in prameters and can make a request.
So work around to this is just pass a slash at the end of the url and there you go.
Like modify "http://localhost:8181/abc/users/testabghtmail@gmail.com/" with "http://localhost:8181/abc/users/testabghtmail@gmail.com". And thanks to spring rest architecture, it will automatically omit the last slash and you will get "testabghtmail@gmail.com" as a parameter value.
Let me know if you guys find something else.


I have been loving getting to uncover some of these cuties from their bed of leaves.
Let me know if you know what any of them are.
but this one had dark dark brown beautiful gills.
This one was so cute, and I didn't mean to disturb it the way I did, then I figured I would do an identification trick to see if the stem broke like chalk, or if it was stringy.
It broke like chalk... now I should be able to figure out what it is... or not?

Q: The model item passed into the dictionary is of type 'BlogHomePageModel', but this dictionary requires a model item of type 'BlogHomePageModel' I'm using Umbraco 7.04. I would post code but I can't determine what is causing the problem.  I did make some edits to a class in my App_Code folder and my website started displaying this error. I reverted those edits but still get the error.

A coworker mentioned that .net can cache files so I tried recycling app pool and editing web.config to no avail.
EDIT: here is the code I believe was causing the problem, although it seemed to have gone away randomly.

Mercedes-Benz product offensive in 2019
By Eoin Cuttle On November 15, 2018
Mercedes-Benz product offensive continues in 2019 with eight new models and seven face lifted models set to make their introduction here.
Mercedes-Benz says amongst them will be models that demonstrate its goals of reinventing the future of the automobile by developing new models and new technology.
These goals have led to the emergence of the new 'electric-intelligent' EQ brand and will influence the development of an additional 10 new models due by 2022. Included in 2019 arrivals will be petrol-mild hybrids, petrol and diesel plug-in hybrids, and EQC, a full electric, mid-size SUV with a one-charge 420km range.
The new A-Class Saloon
New models hitting the road in January will include face lifted C-Class models in saloon, coupé, estate and cabriolet variants.
Following in the February/March period will be a new A-Class Saloon and an all-new B-Class range. Besides being the model singularly to the fore in attracting a new, more youthful generation of motorists into Mercedes-Benz ownership, A-Class is arguably the single most pivotal model in the company's portfolio, providing the platform on which all of seven new models will be built, including the new A-Saloon and B-Class.
From April onwards to June, a new CLA, CLA Shooting Brake and GLE with a seven seat option arrive. Other red-letter launches planned for June are a face lifted V-Class and the arrival of the recently announced electric-powered EQC.
Into the second registration period of 2019, new arrivals will include a new GLS, expected during the July/September period. Also due in July will be face lifted GLC Coupé and SUV models.
In the period October/December, end-of-year activity will focus on the arrival of the all-new GLB. Slotting into the Mercedes-Benz range just below the GLC, the GLB is a mid-size SUV whose many features will include a seven seat option.
Beyond the individual models, 2019 will also see technology spread across the ever-expanding NGCC range – technology such as the voice-activated 'Hey Mercedes' driver assistance programme introduced in the new A-Class.
Appealing to a younger audience, NGCC models now account for over 35 per cent of Mercedes-Benz sales in Ireland – a position which Ciaran Allen, sales manager for Mercedes-Benz in Ireland says: "Is helped by the availability of attractive PCP and other low-interest finance options."

Panasonic G95 vs Sony A9 II
The Panasonic Lumix DC-G95 (called Panasonic G90 in some regions) and the Sony Alpha A9 II are two digital cameras that were announced, respectively, in April 2019 and October 2019. Both the G95 and the A9 II are mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras that are based on a Four Thirds (G95) and a full frame (A9 II) sensor. The Panasonic has a resolution of 20.2 megapixels, whereas the Sony provides 24 MP.

Panasonic G95:
Sony A9 II:
Going beyond this snapshot of core features and characteristics, what are the differences between the Panasonic Lumix DC-G95 and the Sony Alpha A9 II? Which one should you buy? Read on to find out how these two cameras compare with respect to their body size, their imaging sensors, their shooting features, their input-output connections, and their reception by expert reviewers.
The physical size and weight of the Panasonic G95 and the Sony A9 II are illustrated in the side-by-side display below. The two cameras are presented according to their relative size. Three successive views from the front, the top, and the rear are shown. All width, height and depth measures are rounded to the nearest millimeter.
If the front view area (width x height) of the cameras is taken as an aggregate measure of their size, the Sony A9 II is somewhat larger (1 percent) than the Panasonic G95. Moreover, the A9 II is markedly heavier (26 percent) than the G95. In this context, it is worth noting that both cameras are splash and dust-proof and can, hence, be used in inclement weather conditions or harsh environments.
The above size and weight comparisons are to some extent incomplete since they do not consider the interchangeable lenses that both of these cameras require. A larger imaging sensor will tend to go along with bigger and heavier lenses, although exceptions exist. You can compare the optics available for the two cameras in the Micro Four Thirds Lens Catalog (G95) and the Sony FE Lens Catalog (A9 II). Mirrorless cameras, such as the two under consideration, have the additional advantage of having a short flange to focal plane distance, which makes it possible to mount many lenses from other systems onto the camera via adapters.
Concerning battery life, the G95 gets 290 shots out of its DMW-BLC12 battery, while the A9 II can take 690 images on a single charge of its NP-FZ100 power pack. The battery packs of both cameras can be charged via USB, which can be very convenient when travelling.

Any camera decision will obviously take relative prices into account. The listed launch prices provide an indication of the market segment that the manufacturer of the cameras have been targeting. The G95 was launched at a markedly lower price (by 78 percent) than the A9 II, which puts it into a different market segment. Usually, retail prices stay at first close to the launch price, but after several months, discounts become available. Later in the product cycle and, in particular, when the replacement model is about to appear, further discounting and stock clearance sales often push the camera price considerably down.
The size of the sensor inside a digital camera is one of the key determinants of image quality. A large sensor will generally have larger individual pixels that offer better low-light sensitivity, provide wider dynamic range, and have richer color-depth than smaller pixels in a sensor of the same technological generation. Further, a large sensor camera will give the photographer additional creative options when using shallow depth-of-field to isolate a subject from its background. On the downside, larger sensors tend to be associated with larger, more expensive camera bodies and lenses.
Of the two cameras under consideration, the Panasonic G95 features a Four Thirds sensor and the Sony A9 II a full frame sensor. The sensor area in the A9 II is 276 percent bigger. As a result of these sensor size differences, the cameras have a format factor of, respectively, 2.0 and 1.0. The sensor in the G95 has a native 4:3 aspect ratio, while the one in the A9 II offers a 3:2 aspect.
With 24MP, the A9 II offers a higher resolution than the G95 (20.2MP), but the A9 II nevertheless has larger individual pixels (pixel pitch of 5.94μm versus 3.34μm for the G95) due to its larger sensor. Moreover, the A9 II is a somewhat more recent model (by 5 months) than the G95, and its sensor might have benefitted from technological advances during this time that further enhance the light gathering capacity of its pixel-units. Coming back to sensor resolution, it should be mentioned that the G95 has no anti-alias filter installed, so that it can capture all the detail its sensor resolves.
The resolution advantage of the Sony A9 II implies greater flexibility for cropping images or the possibility to print larger pictures. The maximum print size of the A9 II for good quality output (200 dots per inch) amounts to 30 x 20 inches or 76.2 x 50.8 cm, for very good quality (250 dpi) 24 x 16 inches or 61 x 40.6 cm, and for excellent quality (300 dpi) 20 x 13.3 inches or 50.8 x 33.9 cm. The corresponding values for the Panasonic G95 are 25.9 x 19.4 inches or 65.8 x 49.4 cm for good quality, 20.7 x 15.6 inches or 52.7 x 39.5 cm for very good quality, and 17.3 x 13 inches or 43.9 x 32.9 cm for excellent quality prints.
The A9 II has on-sensor phase detect pixels, which results in fast and reliable autofocus acquisition even during live view operation.
The Panasonic Lumix DC-G95 has a native sensitivity range from ISO 200 to ISO 25600, which can be extended to ISO 100-25600. The corresponding ISO settings for the Sony Alpha A9 II are ISO 100 to ISO 51200, with the possibility to increase the ISO range to 50-204800.
For many cameras, data on sensor performance has been reported by DXO Mark. This service is based on lab testing and assigns an overall score to each camera sensor, as well as ratings for dynamic range ("DXO Landscape"), color depth ("DXO Portrait"), and low-light sensitivity ("DXO Sports"). The following table provides an overview of the physical sensor characteristics, as well as the sensor quality measurements for a selection of comparators.

Many modern cameras cannot only take still pictures, but also record videos. Both cameras under consideration are equipped with sensors that have a sufficiently high read-out speed for moving images, and both provide the same movie specifications (4K/30p).
Beyond body and sensor, cameras can and do differ across a range of features. The two cameras under review are similar with respect to both having an electronic viewfinder. However, the one in the A9 II offers a substantially higher resolution than the one in the G95 (3686k vs 2360k dots). The table below summarizes some of the other core capabilities of the Panasonic G95 and Sony A9 II in connection with corresponding information for a sample of similar cameras.

One difference between the cameras concerns the presence of an on-board flash. The G95 has one, while the A9 II does not. While the built-in flash of the G95 is not very powerful, it can at times be useful as a fill-in light.
The G95 has an articulated LCD that can be turned to be front-facing. This characteristic will be appreciated by vloggers and photographers who are interested in snapping selfies. In contrast, the A9 II does not have a selfie-screen.
The Panasonic G95 and the Sony A9 II both have an intervalometer built-in. This enables the photographer to capture time lapse sequences, such as flower blooming, a sunset or moon rise, without purchasing an external camera trigger and related software.
Concerning the storage of imaging data, both the G95 and the A9 II write their files to SDXC cards. The A9 II features dual card slots, which can be very useful in case a memory card fails. In contrast, the G95 only has one slot. Moreover, both cameras support UHS-II cards (Ultra High Speed data transfer of up to 312 MB/s).
For some imaging applications, the extent to which a camera can communicate with its environment can be an important aspect in the camera decision process. The table below provides an overview of the connectivity of the Panasonic Lumix DC-G95 and Sony Alpha A9 II and, in particular, the interfaces the cameras (and selected comparators) provide for accessory control and data transfer.

Studio photographers will appreciate that the Sony A9 II (unlike the G95) features a PC Sync socket, so that professional strobe lights can be controlled by the camera.
Both the G95 and the A9 II are recent models that are part of the current product line-up. The G95 replaced the earlier Panasonic G85, while the A9 II followed on from the Sony A9. Further information on the two cameras (e.g. user guides, manuals), as well as related accessories, can be found on the official Panasonic and Sony websites.
So what conclusions can be drawn? Is the Panasonic G95 better than the Sony A9 II or vice versa? A synthesis of the relative strong points of each of the models is listed below.
Advantages of the Panasonic Lumix DC-G95:
Less heavy: Is lighter (by 142g or 21 percent) and hence easier to carry around.
Easier fill-in: Is equipped with a small onboard flash to brighten deep shadow areas.
More heavily discounted: Has been on the market for longer (launched in April 2019).
Reasons to prefer the Sony Alpha A9 II:
More detail: Has more megapixels (24 vs 20.2MP), which boosts linear resolution by 11%.
Better image quality: Is equipped with a larger and more technologically advanced sensor.
More detailed viewfinder: Has higher resolution electronic viewfinder (3686k vs 2360k dots).
Longer lasting: Gets more shots (690 versus 290) out of a single battery charge.
More modern: Was introduced somewhat (5 months) more recently.
If the count of relative strengths (bullet points above) is taken as a measure, the A9 II is the clear winner of the contest (18 : 7 points). However, the relative importance of the various individual camera aspects will vary according to personal preferences and needs, so that you might like to apply corresponding weights to the particular features before making a decision on a new camera. A professional wedding photographer will view the differences between cameras in a way that diverges from the perspective of a travel photog, and a person interested in cityscapes has distinct needs from a macro shooter. Hence, the decision which camera is best and worth buying is often a very personal one.

How about other alternatives? Do the specifications of the Panasonic G95 and the Sony A9 II place the cameras among the top in their class? Find out in the latest Best Mirrorless Interchangeable Lens Camera listing whether the two cameras rank among the cream of the crop.
In any case, while the comparison of the spec-sheets of cameras can offer a general idea of their imaging potential, it remains partial and cannot reveal, for example, the shooting experience and imaging performance when actually working with the G95 or the A9 II. At times, user reviews, such as those published at amazon, address these issues in a useful manner, but such feedback is on many occasions incomplete, inconsistent, and unreliable.

The above review scores should be interpreted with care, though. The assessments were made in relation to similar cameras of the same technological generation. Thus, a score needs to be put into the context of the launch date and the launch price of the camera, and comparing ratings of very distinct cameras or ones that are far apart in terms of their release date have little meaning. Also, please note that some of the review sites have changed their methodology and reporting over time.

Set to be called Red-Blooded American, Cooper is looking to play either the main role of Armstrong or Tyler Hamilton, Armstrong's former teammate who was part of his inner circle on the US Postal Service Team. According to Deadline, Bradley Cooper is in talks about joining the movie as a producer as well. Red-Blooded American is one of a number of films currently in the pipeline about the disgraced cyclist. Cooper, meanwhile, was previously linked to the lead role in a different film from JJ Abrams's Bad Robot Productions, which has acquired the rights to Juliet Macur's upcoming book Cycle of Lies: The Fall of Lance Armstrong. Working Title Films is also said be working on a biopic of the seven-time Tour De France champion. SOURCE: DEADLINE
