A coalition of mayors on Friday condemned President Trump for his comments on Charlottesville and announced a new campaign aimed at combating racism.
"The Compact," a project of the U.S. Conference of Mayors and the Anti-Defamation League, is aimed at refocusing American cities on problems of extremism, bigotry and domestic terrorism. It calls on cities to strengthen civil rights laws and collect data on hate crimes, and to increase dialogue on racial issues in schools and at community gatherings. And it asks that city leaders condemn hate in the strongest terms when it rears its head.
"To combat prejudice and bigotry, it will take a dedicated effort, and mayors have long been a beacon for inclusion and tolerance and respect," said Jonathan Greenblatt, national director of the Anti-Defamation League. "Times like this require both moral leadership and strong action," a kind that mayors can provide "whether or not we are seeing that from the president," Greenblatt said.
Several of the mayors who announced the effort, including Mitch Landrieu (D) of New Orleans, have been on the front lines of efforts to remove Confederate symbols from public areas. But "The Compact" does not explicitly address how cities should handle such monuments, and it does not wade into the issue of "sanctuary cities" that refuse to help detain and deport illegal immigrants.
Still, in a teleconference with reporters, the mayors called it a strong gesture on the part of leaders who are on the front lines of the heightening tensions over race that boiled over in Charlottesville, where one woman died and others were injured in violence tied to a white-nationalist rally. Already, they said, more than 200 cities have signed on to the pledge, including large cities such as Los Angeles and New York, smaller communities such as Gresham, Ore., and Democrat-led and Republican-led jurisdictions.
The announcement comes as U.S. cities are under new pressure to delicately handle requests by white-supremacist groups to stage similar rallies and to respond to citizens' demands to remove Confederate statues and symbols. This weekend, cities are bracing for a possible wave of demonstrations by white-supremacist groups and leftist counterprotesters, with Boston imposing strict rules in hopes of keeping a planned protest there Saturday nonviolent.
It also comes as criticism is mounting against Trump, who this week blamed "both sides" in Charlottesville for the violence and lamented the removal of "beautiful" Confederate monuments. In a call with reporters, several mayors said it was up to leaders such as them to unabashedly call out racism in the absence of such language from the president.
Correction: This story was updated to correct the number of cities that signed onto the compact. The number is more than 200, not more than 400.

Last time I was in Catalonia I bought a porró and I brought it to China to show my students and friends. El porró is a Catalan jar made of glass we Catalans use to drink wine but sometimes we also fill it with other drinks like beer. It has two holes: one big to pour the liquid and one small to drink.
In China this curious jar has been very welcomed and lately with some French friends we have even done a "titit" competition, that is to repeat the word "titit" as many times as possible while drinking from it.
In the film "La teta y la luna" from the Catalan director Bigas Luna there is a scene where many porrons appear in the sky. I like this film a lot partly because he talks about the Catalan and Spanish culture through our daily life symbols. We could say that it gives more importance to the fact of raising el porró than to raise the national flag or sing the national anthem.


North Korea is getting increasingly angry at the US, as talks are deadlocked and tensions between the two countries are on the rise, a source familiar with the discussions told CNN.
US and foreign sources close to the talks paint a picture that's starkly different from the image President Donald Trump sought to convey Wednesday, when he told reporters the administration is "very happy with how it's going with North Korea. We think it's going fine."
"We're very happy with how it's going with North Korea. We think it's going fine. We're in no rush. We're in no hurry," Trump told reporters at a White House press conference. "The sanctions are on. The missiles have stopped. The rockets have stopped. The hostages are home. The great heroes are home."
But US military officials, foreign diplomats and sources familiar with developments say the two sides are locked in a standoff over who will make concessions first, that the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is "really angry" about the US refusal to offer sanctions relief and that personal friction between US and North Korean negotiators may be slowing progress.
"It doesn't bode well for the negotiations, which were already not proceeding well," said Bruce Klingner, a senior fellow at the Heritage Foundation.
A former CIA deputy division chief for Korea, Klingner pointed to North Korea's recent threat to restart "building up nuclear forces" if the US didn't ease sanctions, the fact that Pyongyang has yet to meet Pompeo's Special Representative for North Korea, Stephen Biegun, and that the two countries still haven't agreed on the definition of basic terms such as "denuclearlization" -- five months after Trump's historic summit with Kim.
"Clearly the two sides remain very far apart," Klingner said.
A source familiar with the ongoing dance between officials in Washington and Pyongyang said that North Korea is "getting really angry" over the lack of any offer of sanctions relief from the US and that their stance is that the US "must make a move before we make the next one."
North Korea's state media outlet KCNA said November 2: "We gave all things possible to the US, things it hardly deserves, by taking proactive and good-will measures, what remains to be done is the US corresponding reply. Unless there is any reply, the DPRK will not move even 1 mm, how costly it may be."

Teobert Maler – The early explorer of Mayan sites
May 19, 2017 Tijana Radeska
Teobert Maler
Teobert Maler, later known as Teoberto, was a German adventurer fond of photography.
There is nothing extraordinary in his interests except that he dedicated his life on documenting the ruins of the Maya civilization and made a big contribution to the body of knowledge concerning the Mesoamerican culture.
Maler's father was a German diplomat for the Duchy of Baden and was serving in Rome when Teobert was born in 1842. Teobert studied engineering and architecture in Karlsruhe and moved to Vienna when he was 21 to work for the famous Austrian architect and professor, Heinrich von Ferstel. After a few years, the young Maler was granted Austrian citizenship.
Portrait of Teobert Maler, c.1910
Curious about the world, Maler traveled to Mexico, joining Emperor Maximilian's army as a soldier. Very soon, he rose from Cadet to Captain. After the surrendering to the Mexican Republican forces, Maler chose to stay in Mexico instead of returning to Europe. He later became a Mexican citizen and changed his name to "Teoberto" because it was easier to pronounce in Spanish.
While in Mexico, Maler became interested in Mesoamerican antiquities and as well as photography. In 1876, he visited the most important archeological site of the Zapotec culture, Mitla, in the state of Oaxaca, and took detailed photos of its structures. The following summer he moved to San Cristóbal de las Casas and visited the ruins of the Maya city-state of Palenque. Although the site was already known, it hadn't been explored in depth, so when Maler went there, he had to employ a group of local Indios to open up a path to the site using machetes.
Chichen Itza, Yucatán, México. El Castillo, 1892
In the week he spent at Palenque, Maler measured, sketched, and photographed the site, realizing that the previously published information about it was inadequate and that most of it depicted only a limited portion of the buildings. While he was at Palenque, another adventurer visited the site, the Swiss botanist Gustave Bernoulli, who shared the same passion for the Mayan culture and sites as Maler.
In 1878, Maler returned to Paris as he had to deal his father's estate which was in legal difficulties. While there, Maler hired lawyers to sort it out, and he spent his time giving lectures on Mexican antiquities. In his free time, he dug out all the possible documents he could find on Mesoamerica. After six years, in 1884, the estate was finally settled, and Maler, with his small inheritance, returned to Mexico to devote himself fully to the study of his passion – the Mayan culture.
Maler settled in a small house in the town of Ticul, in Yucatán. In his new home, he set up a small photographic studio and learned the Mayan language. However, he was still eager to discover more remains from Mayan culture, so he spent most of his time in the forests in the company of a few Maya who helped him clear the way through the jungle and to carry his photographic equipment.
Photograph of the stela at Seibal (1908)
He visited the sites of Uxmal and Chichen Itza where he remained for three months, documenting the ruins as no explorer had done before him. Maler was the first explorer to record many of the ancient Mayan sites. Over the following years, he investigated the sites in the El Petén region of Guatemala and along the course of the Usumacinta River.
This Austrian and naturalized Mexican explorer became disgusted with the practices and behavior of the late 19th century explorers and archaeologists who would remove sculptures and architectural works from their original sites to take them back to European and North American cities. Often noting the damage caused, Maler dedicated himself to writing to the Mexican government about a change in the legal approach to the issue, as well elaborating on the subject more broadly. Today, his views are considered to have been ahead of their time.
Realizing the importance of his investigations, in 1898, Maler started publishing his reports through the Peabody Institute of Harvard University. It resulted in a series of important books being published by the Institute. However, the relationship between it and Maler became strained due to a difference in opinion as to what should be published and what should not.
The author required a detailed report of his work to be issued while the Peabody editors included less of it. Their communication was also made difficult due to Maler's frequent expeditions into the jungle, during which time he couldn't be reached, often for months at a time. The Peabody Institute ended their agreement with Maler in 1909. However, it took the Institute until 1912 to finish the publication of Maler's material. And these books based on his article are still an essential reference in Maya studies.

In 1905, Maler retired from his jungle expeditions to his home in Mérida, Yucatán. In 1910 he traveled back to Europe hoping that institutions there would be willing to publish his reports but his biggest success was in selling his photographs to the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris.

In his later years, Maler was known to have become depressed because of his failure to share his knowledge and became referred to as a misanthrope. Although he made a modest living out of selling his photographs to archaeologists and tourists, his financial situation was also rather unstable due to making some poor investments in the past. He also gave lectures on architecture and Maya art at the Mérida school of fine arts until his death in 1917 at the age of 75.
Many of his accounts were published posthumously, one batch in the 1930s, with more appearing in the 1970s and 1990s.

A multi-family apartment building in Upper Manhattan purchased this year at a record price per unit by an affiliate of Manhattan-based Atias Enterprises was acquired with allegedly illegal funds and federal prosecutors want that property and a smaller one in Brooklyn turned over to the government.
Prosecutors say the Atias affiliate used $2.2 million that came from so-called structured account transfers, which are deposits made in small batches to circumvent federal bank reporting laws, to buy the 38-unit 134 Haven Avenue in Washington Heights on Feb. 29, according to a civil complaint filed yesterday by the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York in Brooklyn.
Federal law requires banks to file reports when transactions of $10,000 or more are made — or multiple transactions that add up to more than $10,000 — and it's a violation of the law to evade those regulations.
The total purchase price for the Washington Heights property was $9.05 million, setting a record level per unit for the neighborhood of $239,000, the broker on the deal, Massey Knakal Realty Services, said in a news release last month.
Prosecutors identified three individuals with the structured transactions. Real estate operator Sameh Jacob and Mokhless Yakob were the signatories on a Citibank account, and Jacob alone was the signatory on accounts with M&T Bank, TD Bank, Capital One and Sovereign. Jack Atias, owner of Atias Enterprises, was the signatory on a JPMorgan Chase account. Combined, the three were signatories on accounts in which more than $3.4 was deposited in approximately 361 transactions generally between $9,000 and $9,900 from March 3, 2011, to Jan. 27, 2012, court records say. While the transactions themselves were not said to be illegal, the alleged intent to evade federal reporting rules is illegal.
A spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney declined to comment, and Jacob, Yakob and Atias could not be immediately reached for comment. Jacob is identified in court records as a principal owner of property management firm 45-51 Ave. B, LLC, which owns the four-unit building at that address.
A New York real estate source, who declined to be identified speaking about questionable activity, had seen a small number of real estate purchases funded through apparently illegal sources over the years.
"The few groups that I have come across in the past have been trying to get capital out of emerging markets or to avoid taxes," the source said.
Atias lists six apartment buildings in Manhattan and the Bronx, on its website, with a total of 139 units that it owns and manages, including the 26-unit 458 West 52nd Street in Clinton and the 14-unit, 39-41 First Avenue in the East Village.
A law enforcement source said prosecutors use a variety of tactics when going after suspected illegal activity, and sometimes start with a forfeiture action before — or instead of – filing a criminal complaint. The source noted that the most common reason people structure bank deposits is to avoid paying taxes, not to launder money gained through criminal activity such as drug dealing.
The government is also seeking the forfeiture of a 3,025-square-foot single-family home at 11 86th Street in Bay Ridge, which Jacob purchased Dec. 9, 2011, for $1.125 million, city property records show. That was purchased with just over $1 million of allegedly structured cash deposits, the complaint said.

If you're planning on buying or receiving a new iPhone 6s tomorrow, you will be asked to upgrade the operating system on the device immediately.
Apple has released a special version of iOS 9.0.1 that's specifically aimed at the new iPhone 6s and 6s Plus. The OS version was pushed out to the public yesterday, but, oddly, that version didn't include support for the new phones.
The iPhone 6s and the iPhone 6s Plus will ship with iOS 9.0.
The update is nothing major. It fixes a couple of bugs, including a "Slide to Upgrade" dialog problem that was preventing some users from upgrading to iOS 9. The update also fixes an issue that caused some paused video images in Safari and Photo to appear distorted, and another that cause some alarms and alerts not to sound.

It sounded like a Yogi-ism, Brad Ausmus said.
"I'll worry about the future when the past is done," he said on Friday afternoon, when asked about that future before the Tigers' final home series of the season.
And the words of Yankees legend Yogi Berra were written and spoken in the home clubhouse at Comerica Park and then imitated by Ausmus, who was once again asked about the uncertainties surrounding his job situation.
One of Berra's famous quips was written on the white board inside the Tigers' clubhouse: "Go to your friends' funeral or they won't come to yours."
His hitting advice was relayed from Tigers legend Willie Horton, who met Berra at age 14. About hitting, he told him, "Don't let the fastball get to the catcher."
Ex-Tigers manager Jim Leyland loses his hero, friend Yogi Berra
And then after a few questions about his future, Ausmus dropped the quote about worrying about it when the past is done.
"We come to work and we're trying to win," Ausmus said. "We prepare the same way and since that report has come out, nothing has changed. I haven't changed the way I do my work, the coaches haven't changed the way they do their work and the players haven't changed the way they do their work. Nothing's changed."
On Sept. 11, the Free Press and Channel 4 (WDIV-TV) reported that Ausmus will not be retained for the final year of his three-year contract in 2016, according to a person with knowledge of the front office's plans.
Ausmus enjoys managing, he said. He would like to continue. He knows about the "Fire Ausmus" hashtags swirling on social media but hasn't searched for them himself, and also knows that sentiment isn't shared by every fan.
"I've said it all along," Ausmus said. "Despite what's been written, people around town are great with me, they really are. ... The underlying in pride in Detroit for the Tigers, it's really unmatched. You see it here like you don't see it most other cities."
Ausmus, 46, is 161-153 in two seasons as manager entering Friday. He is under contract for 2016 and the team holds an option for 2017.
"That's not my area," he said, when asked what he felt was fair to judge him on. "That's (general manager) Al (Avila)'s area. He decides what things are important for him as a manager and he decides, along with Mr. Ilitch, as to whether I fit those characteristics."
Ausmus, a baseball lifer, knows that wins and losses are the only determinant in a manager's success.
"There's an expectation to win and when you win, I'm the most liked," he said. "But I'm the one person you can really point the finger at so point it at me."

Philippines records 19,441 new cases
Residents of Quezon City continue their daily routine amid the Covid-19 surge in the National Capital Region. Photo by Mary Jane Cagurangan
The Philippine Department of Health on Saturday reported 19,441 new Covid-19 positive cases, breaking its record for the highest number of infections in a single-day tally.
It was the third time the country recorded new highest single-day tallies this month alone. The last time was just five days ago on August 23 when there were over 18,000 new cases, according to CNN Philippines.
The health department said at least 95.5 percent of active cases have mild symptoms, 1.8 percent are asymptomatic, 1.1 percent have severe symptoms, 0.99 percent are in moderate condition, and 0.6% are in critical condition.
The death toll also jumped to over 33,000, at 33,008 - which is 1.71% of the Covid-19 total - after 167 more people lost their lives to the disease. Meanwhile, 19,191 others recovered, bringing the survivor count to 1,760,013 - or 90.9% of the nationwide tally.
The positivity rate - or percentage of tested people with positive results - also rose to a new record-high of 27.5 percent based on 71,620 tests reported on Aug. 26. The rate has remained within a critical level or above 20 percent for 20 days straight, which calls for more testing.
Last week, Philippine health officials called for more targeted and recalibrated actions toward high-risk activities, as the National Capital Region and the provinces of Bataan and Laguna shift to modified enhanced community quarantine (MECQ), so that some work and businesses can resume onsite operations.
The interagency Covid task force acknowledged that the country cannot always rely on quarantine classifications as it is costly to the economy and livelihood of people. People need to return to a safer and smarter workplace, and act prudently.
However, the DOH emphasizes that this does not mean lifting restrictions but rather, focusing on targeted restrictions and monitoring granular lockdowns and specific high-risk activities.
Under this quarantine classification, high-risk activities such as dine-in services, whether indoor or al fresco, and personal care services are still not allowed. Religious gatherings will also remain online during the MECQ.
Further, the latest projections suggest that the least number of active cases in the NCR is seen when there is an improvement in the vaccination, shortening the interval between symptom onset and isolation to at most six days, and compliance to the minimum public health standards.
"Based on the latest DOH and FASSSTER projections, active cases in NCR may reach up to 66,403 by Aug. 31 and 269,694 by Sept. 30 when ECQ will be extended for two more weeks while maintaining current levels of vaccination, PDITR strategies, and compliance to minimum public health standards," Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire.

At its inception in 2001, PeopleG2 started out as an office-based company. However, in 2008, founder and chief executive Chris Dyer, decided to transition into a virtual company to accommodate a growing workforce and surmount challenging financial pressures introduced by the recession. According to Michelle Rafter, in "Employees told to go home – and work," a small office in Brea, California remains for a handful of staff who value having a physical office. However, the rest of the staff, comprised of researchers, sales and customer service representatives, and administrative personnel, work as a virtual team.
This arrangement has worked out so well that Chris Dyer never looked back and, today, PeopleG2 serves as a testament to how companies can successfully switch from brick and mortar to virtual. Just recently, Flexjobs featured them in "26 Virtual Companies That Thrive on Remote Work." How did Dyer and his team make such a successful transition?
A virtual business definitely has advantages, such as no issues with property leasing and no commute times for employees. With no commute time, this can increase the hours actually worked by employees, rather than sitting in traffic and it can also be more motivating for an employee to simply start work rather than sit in rush hour traffic for 2 hours prior to sitting down to work. Unfortunately, the cultural shift from a brick and mortar company to a virtual company is not fathomable for some. The idea of this type of culture change, coupled with the "how to manage it" aspects tend to make people more likely to stay in their current business setup rather than make a move to a virtual environment.
Companies aspiring to dispense with commercial real estate might find it helpful to look to companies like PeopleG2. One major incentive for embracing this idea is to enhance efforts to recruit and retain younger employees who're born into this fast-paced, technological world as Bankhead notes in "Virtual Employment Is Trending." Hence, although the number of virtual companies is unlikely to rise considerably in the near future, there are still significant incentives for pioneering employers to attempt this transition and help other employers, by providing critical information about overcoming obstacles, to succeed in doing likewise.

Thanks for commenting Cindy! Yes, it's wonderful! If I were ever in the position of starting up a company (need to come up with an idea for one), this is the way I'd do it also – cut down commuting and the need for commercial real estate!
I haven't experienced a telework situation where I needed a lot of face-to-face communication with co-workers. Hasn't technology — Skype and similar tools — pretty much solved that problem? Or is there a key aspect of face-to-face communication that can't be replicated by technology?
Hi Thomas. The need and emphasis on physical face-to-face communication is an issue that I attribute to individual personality-specific preferences. For reasons I don't understand and experience (at the visceral-level), people who have a preference for media-richness (more women than men, or more "female-brained" individuals than "male-brained" individuals to be more precise) just prefer the real deal over video conferencing (via Skype, etc.). They like having as much contextual visual information about another person's reactions and state of mind as possible.

Asheboro, N.C. (August 29, 2018) – The Southwestern Randolph varsity volleyball team continues to show their resilience as they improve to 6-0 overall and 1-0 in conference play as they won their conference opener against Southern Alamance.
SWR won in five games with scores of 25-20, 25-23, 21-25, 17-25, and 15-11.
The Cougars got off to a quick start winning the first two matches over the Patriots. After settling down, the Patriots were able to rally back to win the next two sets to send the match into a tie-breaker set.
SWR's head volleyball coach Darby Kennedy was able to make the necessary adjustments to help her team walk away victorious.
Payton Shiflet led the team in kills with 22 while adding 15 digs. Cassidy Schiebel managed 12 kills and tacked on four service aces. Ashton Maness contributed three kills and also led the team with 28 digs. Alex Coleman also performed well in the backcourt with 21 digs. Peyto LeRoy continues to put up big numbers with 44 assists. With one more game, we will get to see just were LeRoy will land in the state stat leaderboard as it requires a minimum of seven games.
Southwestern Randolph's success is paying off as they continue to climb up in the MaxPreps rankings. Currently, the Cougars are 269th in the nation, 24thin the state and 14thin state 3A class.
SWR will take on Eastern Guilford on Thursday, Aug. 30 in their second conference match. The match will take place at Eastern Guilford in Gibsonville, N.C. with the start time set at 5 p.m.

Dram shop laws, or dram shop acts, are designed to make business establishments liable for the injuries or damage caused by persons they sold alcohol to. For example, if a bar or tavern sells alcohol to a patron, and that patron then injures someone in a car accident, the dram shop law may allow the injured party to recover damages from the bar as well as the intoxicated person. Most dram shop laws require bars and taverns to stop selling alcohol to persons who are visibly or obviously intoxicated. Most states have some form of dram shop act in place, though they vary widely from state to state.
What Does Ohio's Dram Shop Act Address?
On the premises: If the injury occurred on the premises, or in a parking lot under their control, the business owner will be held liable if the injury was caused by the negligence of the business or a business employee.
Off premises: A business owner or employee may be held liable for injuries that occurred off premises if the person is visibly intoxicated, or if the person was a minor, and the establishment continues to serve them alcohol. These injuries may include automobile accidents, attacks, fist fights, or other injuries.
Violations of dram shop ordinances by business establishments are considered to be only a minor offense in the state of Ohio. Offenders are usually subjected to a fee ranging from $25 to $100. However, business owners who violate dram shop laws may be subjected to liability in a court of law, including punitive damages in severe cases. For example, a severe violation may expose the business to punitive damages, which can sometimes involve very large amounts of money.
Violations of dram shop laws are serious and can involve several parties. Regardless of what party you are associated with, working with a personal injury lawyer can be essential in order ensure that your rights are represented against the many competing interests. A well-informed Ohio lawyer can keep you updated with any changes to dram shop laws, and represent you if need be.

TAICHUNG CITY STADIUM. Korea clinched fifth place at the XXVI 18U Baseball World Cup with a 6-1 victory over Venezuela on Sunday afternoon at Taichung City Stadium. They sealed the win in style, converting a triple play to end the game.
Korea didn't waste any time and took a quick 1-0 lead in the first thanks to a throwing error of Venezuela's center fielder Yonathan Oliveros.
They added two runs each in the fourth and the sixth to increase the advantage to five runs – Byung Ok Bae had a couple of RBI singles – until Venezuela got on the board in the top of the seventh. Nelson Torres walked with the bases loaded to break up the shutout bid. But it was too little to change the outcome of the game, as Korea even tagged on another insurance run.
The highlight of the game came right at the end. Anthony Concepcion and Silfredo Teran singled to lead off the frame to put runners on the corners. Teran was removed for pinch runner Juan Vegas. Oliveras stepped to the plate and hit a groundball to third base. Ha Seong Kim, Chan Ho Park, Byeong Wuk Lim and Joong Yeol An converted 5-4-3-2 triple play to finish off Korea's 6-1 win.

CES 2020: Latest innovations in laptops and smartphones
By Sukesh Mudrakola / January 21, 2020 January 22, 2020
Befitting the world's largest consumer electronics show, a slew of innovative tech products and services were showcased at CES 2020. In a previous article, we covered the best of the products and services displayed at CES 2020. Here, we have compiled the best laptops and smartphones unveiled at the event. Irrespective of the platform, smartphone and laptop makers are continually releasing new products. Accordingly, this year's CES in Las Vegas had more than its share of announcements in the segment of smartphones and laptops. Let's look at some of the new phones and laptops showcased at CES 2020.
Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite and S10 Lite
Samsung's smartphone launches are always of great interest, both for business and personal users. The company recently launched its Galaxy S10 and Note 10 series of smartphones. While both these handsets have been receiving a good response, many users complain about the affordability of these high-end flagship devices.
At CES 2020, Samsung came up with something very interesting by launching a 'Lite' variant for both its flagship devices. Dubbed the Galaxy Note 10 Lite and S10 Lite, both these handsets are the company's brand-new affordable flagships.
The Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite line features specifications from the Galaxy S10, S10e, and S10+ and bundles them in a much more affordable package. The device sports a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED Plus display and is powered by the Snapdragon 855 SoC. The device also comes with a triple rear camera setup along with a 32-megapixels front-facing camera.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite, on the other hand, draws a lot of features from the Galaxy S10 Lite. The Note 10 Lite has an identical display, front-camera, and storage specifications similar to the S10 Lite. However, the Note 10 Lite offers the stylus experience to its users who are inclined to use a Note handset at an affordable price-point.
Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Fold
We've already seen some foldable tech surfacing in the market in the form of smartphones and phablets. But Lenovo has unveiled something innovative at CES 2020 in the form of Thinkpad X1 Fold. Yes, as the name suggests, it is the company's very first and, in fact, the world's first-ever foldable computer.
The device comes with a 13.3-inch display that can be folded from the center for portability. The device weighs only 2.2 pounds, making it an ideal one-piece replacement for a phone, tablet, and even a laptop. It also comes with a mini Bluetooth-powered keyboard that can be connected to the device when folded. The X1 Fold runs Windows 10 out-of-the-box and can also be used with a stylus.
The device is expected to roll-out by mid-2020 with an expected starting price of $2,499.
Dell Alienware Concept UFO
Alienware Concept UFO is the company's latest gaming console intended to bring the PC gaming experience to console. Alienware Concept UFO is essentially a Nintendo Switch meant for PC gaming.
While most of us might prefer Nintendo Switch, what's innovative about Dell's Alienware Concept UFO is that it brings the rich PC gaming experience at the comfort of a switch-like gaming console. The device runs on the Windows 10 operating system with built-in access to Valve's Steam PC game services. The device comes with detachable controllers that can be clipped together for tabletop play.
[tg_youtube video_id="S6qQC4YQHPc"]
The device sports an 8-inch display with a resolution of 1920×1200 pixels. Under the hood, the device is powered by the 10th generation Intel Core processor. The device comes with a Thunderbolt USB Type-C port for connectivity purposes. The price and release date of the device is yet to be disclosed by the company. (For more recent Dell unveilings aimed primarily at business users, go here.)
Samsung Galaxy Chromebook
Samsung also introduced its Galaxy Chromebook at CES 2020. The device is a thin, compact, and lightweight two-in-one convertible laptop that runs Chrome OS. The device sports a 13.3-inch 4K AMOLED display with a resolution of 3840×2160 pixels. The device is powered by 10th generation Intel Core processor and is paired with up to 16GB of RAM. The device offers up to 1TB of SSD storage and comes with a stylus for easy access.
The Samsung Galaxy Chromebook is priced at about $1,000 and is expected to go on sale in the first quarter of 2020. The device is available in Fiesta Red and Mercury Grey color options.
Lenovo ThinkBook Plus
Lenovo has always been known for its innovations in consumer tech and accordingly the company showcased its all-new dual-screened laptop in the form of Lenovo ThinkBook Plus. It sports a 13.3-inch LCD primary display and an auxiliary e-ink display on the top cover.
The device is powered by the latest 10th generation Intel Core i7 processor paired with 8GB or 16GB of RAM. It offers up to 512GB of SSD storage options and also offers a touch fingerprint sensor for additional security.
Speaking about the secondary display on the laptop, which is its unique selling point, the e-ink display technology is usually seen in devices like the Kindle but not on regular laptops. With the secondary display, the device allows its users to take quick notes, read, illustrate diagrams or designs and receive notifications.
The ThinkBook Plus' price starts at $1,199 and will be available in March.
Acer ConceptD 7 Laptops
Acer unveiled its all-new Acer ConceptD 7 laptops at CES 2020. Both laptops come with a feature that allows users to set the screen in a variety of positions. So these creator laptops provide users with the flexibility to work at their comfort while focusing on productivity.
These laptops are stuffed with the latest hardware under the hood and are priced starting at $2,700. However, the company is yet to shed light on when they will be available.

George Anthony Kalogridis (born November 19, 1953) is an American corporate executive. Kalogridis is the former president of the Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. Kalogridis became president of Disney Segment Development and Enrichment for Disney Parks, Experiences and Products in November 2019.

Early life and education
Kalogridis was raised in Winter Haven, and is of Greek ancestry; the Greek spelling of his name is Γιώργος Καλογρίδης. He attended the University of Central Florida and graduated with a degree in sociology in 1976.

Career

Kalogridis has a long history with The Walt Disney Company. He has worked with the company almost exclusively for 40 years. Kalogridis first started working for Disney while he was in college. He bussed tables at Disney's Contemporary Resort when the Walt Disney World Resort first opened in 1971.

Kalogridis quickly moved up the ladder in The Walt Disney Company, becoming vice president of operations at Epcot, senior vice president at the Disneyland Resort from 2000 to 2002, vice president at the Disney Reservation Center in Orlando from 2002 to 2006, chief operating officer (COO) at Disneyland Paris from 2006 to 2009, and president of the Disneyland Resort from 2009 to 2013.

Kalogridis was named president of The Walt Disney World Resort on January 9, 2013.

In 2019, he was promoted to president, Disney Segment Development and Enrichment. In this new position, he is responsible for developing strategic and operational business initiatives while developing and scaling best practices across sites and lines of business. He also leads the Disney Institute, and serves as strategic advisor to park operators.

In September of 2021, Kalogridis was honored with a window on Main Street, U.S.A. at the Magic Kingdom, one of the top honors for Disney Parks cast members.

Reception
In 1999, a customer wrote a letter to Kalogridis, then vice president of Epcot, voicing his dissatisfaction with a rehab of a ride. Kalogridis personally called him at home. "I was floored," the customer said. "He must have been hearing from hundreds of people. For him to make the rounds, I was really impressed by that."

While working as the manager of Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, a hostess stated that she wished that the grass was dry, since the hotel was going to host a convention on the lawn soon. Kalogridis took some employees and towels with him and dried the lawn off with towels. "That's the attention to detail – and how he'll do everything possible for guests – that George is famous for," Meg Crofton, then president of Walt Disney Parks & Resorts, said.

Personal life
Kalogridis lives with his partner Andy Hardy who also works at Disney.

His favorite character is Eeyore, and his favorite movie is Mary Poppins.

During the holidays it's particularly difficult to be separated from loved ones who live miles away. If you're looking for the ultimate lifestyle tech gift for the grand parents or great grand parents in your life, I think we've found it. Meet Nixplay Iris, the WiFi Cloud Based Digital Frame which can bring family together virtually from all over the world not only during the holidays but year-round.
Unlike digital frames with memory sticks or cards, Grandma and Grandpa don't need any technical skill or even a computer or smart phone to view and enjoy photos on their Nixplay Iris. After one of the younger generation's tech savvy family members sets up the physical frame, all that's required to start enjoying the endless picture show is a power source and WiFi signal, the latter which many assisted living and independent living communities provide for their residents.
Anyone who has access to the compatible cloud-based iOS or Android smartphone app who receives an email invitation from the manager of the frame can send photos to the picture display for the recipients to enjoy. It's worry-free too, since one of the best parts of Nixplay is that, once the physical frame is up and running, children or grandchildren can manage the frame from afar from their own location using the app.
As my brother Forrest and his wife Tina -- grandparents of two young grandkids living out of state -- explain it, "Nixplay is like seeing a surprise whenever we walk into the room. All we have to do is glance over where the frame now stands and we get to see our grandchildren smiling and having fun.
"Distance limits our visits," Tina says, "So we're glad Nixplay makes it possible for us to keep in better touch with everyday activities with all the pictures our son and wife send to our frame from their smartphones. Our other grownup sons, including one who lives abroad, have found it equally easy to send photos our way even when they hundreds or thousands of miles away.
"What a surprise it was when we looked over the other day and saw an image of two of our sons with their wives (the couples like many miles apart from each other) smiling as they enjoyed a great weekend get-a-way together. It warms a parent's heart to see our adult children enjoying each other, especially when a fun descriptive caption pops up under the picture to make us laugh or smile."
This item would make a great gift for grandparents, great-grandparents and especially those who are more housebound. It brings loved ones close, reminding them others care and are always thinking of them. Nixplay helps close the distance gap. Over the holidays and special family times such as birthdays, the frame can also help the viewer feel like a more active participant in all the big celebrations and day-to-day life events of the ones they love.
While your frame can be placed in a portrait or landscape position on a table top, shelf or other level indoor surface, there are many control functions including the light sensor, transition type, transition time, volume, clock, the sleep schedule and even an activity sensor setting that can enhance the viewing experience. There are multiple albums available in your Nixplay cloud account, too, making it easy to go into your account and save added pictures to photo collections as well as organize and delete photos. Another plus: the frame is capable of connecting to all social platforms to deliver more images.
Choosing the settings button on your remote allows the user to navigate through and easily select multiple transitions, transition time, volume, captions, updates and much more. The Nixplay app can be downloaded and then used to send pictures directly from chosen devices. Loved ones you invite through email will be able to easily set up their own account and send photos directly to the picture frame.
To maximize enjoyment of this innovative product be sure to place the frame in a location easily visible to the user. The Nixplay Iris is a great reminder that family is as close as this cloud-based frame, even when kids, grandkids and other loved ones are actually miles away.
The Nixplay Iris WiFi Cloud 8" Frame, $199.00, arrives beautifully packaged, ready for gift giving. Equipped with a motion sensor, the frame plays photos in 4:3 High Resolution IPS Display. In addition to the Peach Copper Silk Metal Finish Frame we received for this review, this Nixplay model also comes in several other finishes including Silver and Burnished Bronze to suit a variety of home decorating styles and living situations. The bendable power cable is flexible, providing a stand for frame orientation. Learn more and buy at Nixplay.com. You can also stay in the loop with everything the brand is doing on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
Surprise someone special with the Nixplay Iris WiFi Cloud Frame. Fun surprises await when you instantly see new photos added to your screen from friends or family!
*This special 25% off offer is available for a limited time only at Nixplay.com from November 19, 2018 to November 30, 2018 at 11:30 pm PST/2:30 am EST. Must use code MBE25 at checkout to receive discount.
This sounds like a really awesome idea! I love being able to get 25% off right now. Thanks for the heads up on this!
Love this idea. My parents have internet but my Dad won't email or do much on it so what a great gift... seeing photos just sent magically!
This is a really cool idea for a family holiday gift. I'll have to try to take advantage of the deal!
This is a sweet way to stay connected with loved ones. Great savings too!
What a lovely gift idea for someone who is not around. My sister lives across the country and would love something like this.
Love the idea! Can't wait to share! Such a great Holiday gift!
I'm planning on giving a few of these for Christmas this year! They make such great gifts! I even have one for myself!
I'd love to have one of these! I have an older frame similar to this but I have to add new photos to it. I've been meaning to do it for months! This is a brilliant idea!
Love this idea! What a great way to send pictures to Grandpa and Grandma when they are not techie at all! I love it!
This sounds really awesome! Such a great way to enjoy with the whole family!
This would be a great gift for my parents!!! I need to look into this!

Sky + Ready to take that first step!
Discussion in 'Sky Digital TV Forum' started by Lawe, Apr 3, 2004.
Well peeps, I have been thinking about making that first step into the world of sky + and feel that now is the time.
But first I need to ask this question, I am on the family package at £19.99 (I think thats the price now) and know that I will have to pay £10.00 for the use of Sky +, but is there package available to me that will in theory wave the £10.00 fee without going for the full monty. I remember seeing about the "G1"? package but I think that this is no more. I will be selling by existing box and will not be moving it.
The other question is Installation. A subject I know is hit and miss but I am not bothered about free installation but I would pay £50 to have fitted in by people that know. Do I go to a specalist? Are these quicker than ringing Sky? Or do I go to Dixons (not on a Saturday!) and get it from them?
You still should be able to take the Family pack with SKY Sports1 and SKY Movies 2 for £29 a month which gets you the SKY+ fee waived, that's a 50p a month saving on the Family package and SKY+ fee alone.
However SKY removed the full package price lists which make me wonder if along with the G1 package they have tweaked the prices.
An authorised SKY dealer should match the prices that SKY offer over the phone and you may get a better installation. You would certainly pay more by going to an independent dealer but again hopefully you get what you pay for although it has to be said a few bad installers have tarnished the name of all SKY installers.
Dixons can offer SKY+ as they are a dealer for SKY, not sure if they have their own contracted installers or just pass on the details to SKY and then they arrange installation and time.
I had to go shopping with who needs to be obeyed and noticed that Dixons had Sky + for £198.00.
I will have to have a talk with them to see what they do about installation.
