Galaxy S5: What to Expect
Todd Haselton
Samsung will hold its "Unpacked 5" press conference during Mobile World Congress on Feb. 24 during Mobile World Congress where we will almost certainly see the Galaxy S5 for the first time. In previous years, Samsung has really stepped up its game with each launch of its new Galaxy S-branded smartphone, though this year we aren't expecting as much of a huge jump on the hardware front, but instead a nice all-around boost to some of the latest specs we've seen in other flagships from competitors. So what do we think the Galaxy S5 may include? Lets find out.
Galaxy S5 Display
A recent report in The New York Times suggests that we can toss out any fantasies of crazy eye-ball scanning technology and super sharp quad-HD displays. That means that all of the rumors pointing to 2560 x 1,440 screen resolution may fall flat, at least in the initial version of the Galaxy S5. There are still some rumors suggesting that quad-HD is in the cards, though. Alleged packaging leaked on Tuesday points to a "QHD Super AMOLED screen," which means quad-HD make indeed make an appearance. The company is known for upgrading its devices after the fact (the Galaxy S4 LTE-A SKU, for example), so perhaps we'll see a sharper version down the line.
Galaxy S5 Hardware
On the processor front, we're expecting a bump to a faster Snapdragon 800 processor. An AnTuTu benchmark showed the device running that chip, and while it didn't provide information on the clockspeed the increase in performance over the Galaxy S4 suggests there have been some tweaks to the processor and a bump from a Snapdragon 600 chip. Recently leaked packaging also points to a 2.5GHz clockspeed. This suggests we won't see the rumored 64-bit CPU just yet, but until Samsung has a real use case for it, that processor probably isn't necessary. As for RAM and storage, we're expecting 3GB of RAM and 32GB and 64GB models of the Galaxy S5.
Galaxy S5 Camera
Samsung may bump the 13-megapixel camera on the Galaxy S4 to a 15.9-megapixel camera on the Galaxy S5 – at least according to the same AnTuTu benchmark that discussed the processor. The same packaging we referenced earlier, however, points to a 20-megapixel camera. Samsung has so far focused on increasing the megapixel count on its cameras instead of opting to venture into different areas – like pixel size, as HTC has, or by adding in optical image stabilization (OIS), like LG has. We hope OIS is included, however, especially since Samsung has the tech to add that option. Either way, we're expecting at least some form of bump from the 13-megapixel camera on the S4.
Galaxy S5 Software
Samsung has been slow to a global roll-out of Android 4.4 KitKat to its existing portfolio of phones. However, the Galaxy S5 is expected to run Android 4.4 KitKat out of the box. Google has asked Samsung to tone it down on its TouchWiz customization options, though this handset was likely far along in development before that request was made. As such, we're expecting a TouchWiz-heavy user interface, likely with some of the Magazine UX changes we saw introduced on the new Galaxy Note tablets introduced at CES and a flatter design, as some leaked software has suggested. The New York Times said Samsung won't be promoting new software gimmicks this time around, so maybe we'll see the elimination – or at least some deep hiding – of features that are present on the Galaxy S4.
Galaxy S5 Design
We're really stuck here. We don't yet have any clue what the Galaxy S5 is going to look like. Early rumors suggested Samsung was going to opt for more premium materials such as aluminum instead of plastic. Whether or not Samsung is actually doing that is still a big unknown. The company may gravitate from its shiny plastic toward a faux-leather back that's prevalent on its Galaxy Note products, or it may have a different material entirely. We just don't know right now.
Final Thoughts, Including Galaxy S5 Launch Date
We're pretty confident at this point that we're going to be able to play with the Galaxy S5 on Feb. 24. Right now it sounds like a pretty solid jump from the Galaxy S4, with a new processor, improved camera and better software. Samsung doesn't usually announce devices until they're ready to hit the market, so we're expecting the phone to be available shortly after launch. Our best guess is a March or April launch. Also, considering the Galaxy S4 and Galaxy S III launched on all major U.S. carriers, we expect that trend to continue.

The Galaxy S10 comes equipped with the most beautiful smartphone display on the market. Make sure it remains that way with a screen protector. Here's a roundup of the best Galaxy S10 screen protectors available right now.

When is one plus one not two? When two paths converge and a new one appears. But what is this newly activated neural pathway? A Third Mind? In the 1960s, multimedia artist Brion Gysin cut through the words of a newspaper and rearranged them to reveal a new kind of truth contained within the words but not freed until his knife cut it loose. He described this as part of the Third Mind. Likewise, «Limpid As The Solitudes» cuts through sound-making techniques to enter a new zone of sonic revelations.
If you had to look for musical precedents, you might say the record recalls the turn-of-the-century Mille Plateaux glitch era, the warmth of La Monte Young's raga-inspired microtonal electronic «dream house» drones, a sense of adventure evident in the acousmatic non-space recordings made by GRM artists in the 1960s/ 1970s, 4AD's floor gazing guitar sound circa Cocteau Twins peak, and blissfully diverse field recordings. But you could equally equate it with entirely different recording sources. «Limpid As The Solitudes» has a widescreen sound that is both familiar and unfamiliar. Warm, comforting and also unsettling in unpredictable ways. Deliberate yet exploratory. It's a record composed of opposites and contrasts. Following historical guidelines yet also throwing them out of the window. It's hard to tell if the process of creating it was more akin to abstract painting but it might possibly be easier to understand if it was a large museum painting (to steal a thought from David Stubbs). To describe the album as ambient would indicate a much too passive engagement with the sound – leave it to play in the background and you'll miss a lot of the joy.
Felicia Atkinson and Jefre Cantu-Ledesma describe the record as a series of postcards – «things and sounds that happen vertically as a slow ascension, vessels communicating in dreams.» In this collaborative recording, there is a feeling of «becoming» – things metamorphose – a concrete sound turns into a electronic sound that turns into a spiral-like melody which then furls / unfurls at the same time.
Among the many other references for this album is how Google Maps have created new digital perceptions of space, Gilles Deleuze's examination of Alice In Wonderland, Andre Bretons poems and more films including the classics «Sacrifice» (Tarkovsky), «Passenger» (Antonioni) and «Last Year In Marienbad» (Resnais). To dig into the more of the ideas and sources behind this record you'll simply have to talk to the duo. We simply cannot give you the full depth here.
Be sure to come back to this record more than once – it's then that it's power will work – you'll recall the sound of a lover, a garden you once walked through, an echo of a record you once loved. To be appreciated, «Limpid As The Solitudes» requires you to immerse yourself as if in a hot spring, letting the sounds float over you and alter your perceptions and memories.

Wildlife at Sea: Paintings
Sea Otters In Kelp: Painting
An acrylic painting of sea otters in clear blue waters napping while cuddled up in a bright green kelp blanket on a sunny day. If I could choose to be one animal it would be a sea otter, the most recent mammal to move into the ocean.
Covered in cozy warm brown fur, a sea otter dozes in cold Pacific waters. Rather than having blubber like seals and whales sea otters rely on their thick coats to keep them warm, which almost led to their extinction as prized animals in the fur trade.
The sea otter painting as a work in progress. Being a Victoria, BC wildlife artist, there are no sea otters near my home. I would need to travel to the north west side of Vancouver Island to glimpse them.
Sea otters are a Vancouver Island keystone species. Without the otters to keep sea urchin populations under control, kelp forests, one of the most productive ecosystems, would be gone. Before sea otters were reintroduced to western Vancouver Island and kelp beds made a come back, there were only beds of sea urchins.
Winking at the viewer, a sea otter snuggles into a bed of kelp on Vancouver Island. One of few mammals to use tools, sea otters will often break open shells with rocks, while lying on their backs.

Info-Tech Research Group Urges Businesses to Adopt a Customer Service Management Platform or Risk Hemorrhaging Clients
Info-Tech Research Group's Customer Service Management (CSM) Platform Vendor Landscape report lists Desk.com, Oracle Siebel and Salesforce Service Cloud as market Champions and urges companies to meet their clients' service needs by adopting a CSM platform or risk losing business.
London, ON, June 19, 2012 - An explosion in Social Media and Mobile over the last few years has created a dire need for companies to adopt a Customer Service Management (CSM) platform to effectively manage customer service requests and retain clients according to Info-Tech Research Group. A recent CSM Vendor Landscape report, published by Info-Tech Research Group, ranked Desk.com, Oracle Siebel and Salesforce Service Cloud as Champions in a market they feel is important to the survival of every customer-focused organization.
"Over the last few years there has been an explosion in the volume of customer interactions due to the popularity of newer channels such as social media, email and mobile," said Tim Hickernell, Associate Lead Analyst for Info-Tech Research Group. "Customers now expect that customer service fits into their lives and is available through the channel of their choice. An organization that does not provide adequate channels and/or service risks having it broadcast by disgruntled customers over social media. It is imperative that every customer-facing organization have a strategy to deal with the increase in interactions and a best-of-breed CSM platform plays an important role in a successful strategy."
According to the report, Champion vendor, Desk.com is particularly strong in social and offers Facebook, Twitter and community forum integration as well as integration with Salesforce Chatter for social collaboration. Their sweet spot is with organizations under 80 employees that require flexible pricing solutions and with smaller firms who have complex service needs. They were also awarded the Value Award for offering the most "bang for your buck" out of the solutions evaluated.
Oracle Siebel is another Champion in the report. Siebel Systems was the largest player in the market when acquired by Oracle in 2005. Since then, Oracle Siebel has continued to dominate the space offering all the bells and whistles, but at a steep price. Its current pricing model puts it out of reach for most small to mid-sized organizations, but large enterprises will find it an extremely attractive option.
Salesforce is primarily known for its focus on sales, but they do offer Service Cloud which is aimed at customer service and ranked as a Champion in the report. This solution is also priced prohibitively for smaller organizations, but has a feature set that is very comprehensive and is a good fit for mid-to-large organizations with more complex requirements and those using Salesforce.com for CRM as well.
TeamSupport ranked as an Innovator in the report. With one of the highest product scores in the evaluation, their product offers Help Desk and customer service capabilities, making them a more comprehensive solution for smaller businesses.
Zendesk is another Innovator in the report. Their "follow me" mobile optimization makes them a good fit for mid-sized businesses and multi-tasking agents who need availability wherever and whenever.

Cat's Family Decides To Buy Her Every Frog Toy Because She Is So Obsessed With Them
When they were only little kittens, Mochi and her brother Choco were discovered аbаndоnеd in a parking lot. When they were old enough, friends of their savior adорted them, and they have enjoyed the finest life ever since.
A family friend bought Choco a toy frog a few months after they were adорted. The frog didn't particularly pique Choco's curiosity, but Mochi was eager to take possession of it. Mochi grew more and more connected to her frog over time. She carried it to her parents in the middle of the night and played fetch with it as well as knocked it over anytime she saw it.
Mochi loved her frog so much that her parents decided to buy her some more — and now, she has an entire army of frogs.
Mochi's family has no idea why she loves her frog toys so much, but over the years, her obsession with them has never wavered. She's fully committed to her frogs, and her family supports it — and also thinks it's pretty darn hilarious.
While Mochi enjoys chasing her frogs about and batting at them, she also enjoys snuggling with them…
.. and being fully surrounded by them likе the queen she is.
Even though Choco has never really been into frogs the way Mochi is, he's never judged her for it. After all, he's got his obsessions too.
"The fascination with the frogs is something exclusive to Mochi," Mochi's family wrote on her website. "Choco was never interested in them, but he's pretty quirky too. For example, he'll play fetch with any red ball."
For better or worse, Mochi is fascinated with her frogs and will rule over her tiny frog kingdom for the rest of her days, whatever the cause.

Creative Writing: The Craft of Style
Course 4 of 5 in the Creative Writing Specialization
Your style is as unique and distinctive as your face, your voice, except that you can choose it, you can can work on it, enhance it. In this course we will introduce aspiring writers to the art of putting pressure on written language. We will study the use of metaphor and imagery, and demonstrate how clarity, grace, and inventiveness in word choice are imperative to a story's success. Writers will emerge with the revision skills essential to all writers of good stories and good prose.
Excellent course by Salvatore Scibona. The range of subjects covered was so wide and the practical tips given in the course are really helpful. Thanks a lot Salvatore, a well-designed course :)
Beautiful course, I've been writing for years, and this experience has been of great help and polishing. You are creating great writers. Thank you for the opportunity and all the knowledge.
Writing with Nouns and Verbs
In the second module we look at the various parts of speech and how two of them—nouns and verbs—are the building blocks of good style and good narratives. By relying on nouns, we make the people, places, and things of the narrative world vivid. By relying on verbs we keep the story alive and in motion.

All right you've made your guesses.
Have you seen what other people guessed?
Some of you might have read this before and
remembered the last word which is a heck of a word.
It has been suggested again that I should apply for
a post at one of the progressive schools,
where my methods would be more suited to the system than they are at Blaine.
But I shall not apply for a post at a crank school.
Crank, isn't that great?
There's so much attitude in that word.
I shall remain at this education noun.
What did you guess?
She's using education as an adjective.
I shall remain at this education factory.
What a great word.
She's got everything about it sounds good.
The consonants are right.
She's describing the girls
as being the output of this sort of widgets being made by a machine.
And you can see her sort of building up
her sense of loyalty with the girls by telling them that they're in a factory,
whereas she is the one who can somehow liberate them from it.
All right we'll keep going.
There needs must be a leaven in the lump.
The L's in that are so nice.
Give me a girl at an impressionable age and she is mine for life.
The Brodie set smiled in understanding of various kinds.
Miss Brodie forced her brown eyes to flash.
Look at that word, that verb.
Forced her brown eyes to flash.
Forced.
There's such an interesting connotation in that word.
Force as though she could in some way make her appearance change by force of will.
She forced her brown eyes to flash as a meaningful accompaniment to her
quiet voice.
She looked a mighty woman with her dark Roman profile in the sun.
The Brodie set did not for a moment doubt that she would prevail.
That's another great word, that she would prevail.
That implies not only that she would succeed, but
that she's got a kind of competition with her administrators.
As soon expect Julius Caesar to apply for a job at a crank school.
Compare her with Julius Caesar like that and
you can see that the girls think of her as some great figure from history.
To apply for a job at a crank school as Miss Brodie.
She would never resign.
If the authorities wanted to get rid of her,
she would have to be, she would have to be assassinated.
What a wonderful word!
She would have to be assassinated.
The exaggeration you hear in that line.
The way the little girls would say such a thing.
We don't actually expect her to be killed by the principles of this school, but
they're so exercised with rage and hatred of her.
And of course the girls think of her as a figure so big and so
powerful that she could merit assassination,
as though she's the leader of some empire.
All of that is in the word assassinated, it's not modified by anything.
Not she would have to be killed quickly, or
she would have to be killed by some people organized in a group of some kind.
Everything is organized just in that word, all of the meaning is there.
And the sound, the sound of that word, assassinated,
which comes from the word [FOREIGN], is absolutely powerful.
It works at every level of the pyramid, and most importantly for
this week, it's a verb.
Now of course we can't entirely get rid of the modifiers,
we can't get rid of the prepositions.
But consider how much meaning there is in the word factory.
How much meaning there is in the word assassinated.
And compare that to how much meaning there is in the word for.
Or when she says that the girls looked at each other
in understanding of various kinds.
That's droll, it's funny, right?
But various by itself doesn't hold a whole lot of meaning.
The structure of the story, the structure of the moment

Sunrises over the Indian Ocean. Fresh sea breezes and scuttling crabs. Pansy shells hidden in the sand. Tidal pools and starfish. Seafood dinners and friendly stray dogs on the beach. Battered dhows under repair under shade of palm trees, the daily letting out of the nets, fishermen heading out to sea. Boats becoming dhows. Sails pale against the red horizons.
This was my first time photographing a wedding in Mozambique and what an intro! I loved that so much of the enjoyment of the wedding also happened in the time surrounding the actual wedding day – providing so many opportunities for the couple to soak up special time with friends and family. The minute you arrive at the coast the heavy salted sea air hits you like a soft welcoming embrace and that feeling of warmth and relaxation remains throughout the trip and is hard to shake off – even when you have a job to do!
The actual wedding day was as relaxed as it was idyllic. A super-relaxed bride and groom. Perfect weather. Vows on the Indian Ocean. A cake to win awards with and beautiful decor and set up despite the 800 km + drive from Harare. After celebrations on the beach with family and friends (and of course some 2ms to quench the thirst) we trekked to the top of a sand-dune to catch sunset and then spent most of the blue hour on the beach with the rising moon. Dusky dances on beach with dhows in the background. Can you ask for more? And then it to a reception where fairy lights twinkled amongst the palm trees on the Du-gong lawns. A spectacular seafood buffet and the most delicious cupcakes known to humankind. I'll let the photos do the rest of the talking.
Thank you Leandi and Kevin and family for trusting me with this special day – and also for your big efforts to get me there. It was a real pleasure to work with you two and I so loved being part of it and meeting your lovely friends and family. Enjoy these. Lots more to come!
Wedding and Day Coordinators: Tarryn Calder with the help of family and Du Gong staff.
Décor: Elmie Pieters (my sister) made all the stationary (menus, order of services, jam jar stickers, invites). Cleo Raft (from Blueberry Enterprises) made all the wood work (Name place sea horses, star fish, Pansy shells and cupcake stand). Tarryn and I came up with the scene/set up ideas for table layouts etc. My gran made the whitetable runners. Martin from Du Gong made our beautiful arch way!
Flowers: Purchased fake flowers and had the boquets, corsages and button holes made here in Harare at Flowertique (the Florist at Arundel). They did an awesome job!! Facebook: Flowertique Florist Arundel Village.
Sound & DJ: Mark and Philippa Van Deventer (Sounds Vantastic) – LOVE LOVE LOVED their music and they were just so so so awesome to work with!! Such lovely people!!!
Cake: WOW – We'd love to make a special mention to Moira Cunningham (mother of the groom) – such an AMAZING cake (the cake of my dreams – she made it happen), and it all worked out in such difficult weather (humid) circumstances. She also made the cupcakes (as a back up plan in case cake didn't work) with the help of Lynn Boothe and Granny Margaret.
Thank you to my Mom and Dad for all they helped us achieve, and to Kevs Mom and Dad too, for all they also helped us achieve. Moira sweated to make that Cake happen, and she did it!!! Not an easy task in that humid weather, but she still made the cake we wanted!!!
Special Thanks to Du Gong Lodge for having us and making it all possible – BEAUTIFUL venue and the Food was out of this world.
Special Thanks to Tarryn Calder and my sister Elmie Miller, who brought all the décor together and made it stunning, and my sister who travelled all the way there and left her 2 month old new baby with hubby to be there to share our special day with us!!!!!!
Our family and friends, who travelled a very long road (some places there was barely any road), to be there to share our special day!! It would not be what it was without them there!!!
Mana Meadows – for Capturing our special day so perfectly and helping us relive the whole experience every time we look at our photos!! You were truly awesome Mana, and you joined in with all our family and friends and it was so much fun having you there with us!!!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!

Your baby doesn't even have teeth yet, so is a good oral hygiene routine really necessary? The short answer is: yes. By taking good care of your baby's gums and first teeth, you help set the foundation for a healthy mouth in the future. It's never too early to practice good oral hygiene, and this article offers valuable tips and advice on how to set the stage for a lifetime of beautiful and strong smiles.
You may think that since your baby has no teeth and eats only soft foods, your dental care obligations have not yet begun. However, according to pediatric dentists and the American Dental Association (ADA), it is never too early to establish healthy oral hygiene habits.
Though your child may not have any teeth to clean yet, the health of his or her gums is essential to proper tooth growth and can also affect future biting, chewing, and even speaking abilities. While no brushing is yet required, it is recommended that you gently clean your baby's gums with a warm, moist cloth to remove any food and inhibit the growth of bacteria. You should begin gently brushing with a pediatric toothbrush at the appearance of the first tooth, and your child's first visit to the dentist's office should occur at roughly the age of three.
The ADA states that the sucking habits of infants (think pacifiers, thumbs, and bottles) are a natural part of development and may be continued without risk to a certain age. However, as your child begins to develop teeth, it is important to discourage such habits as they can have a negative effect on the development and placement of teeth.
By taking good care of your baby's gums and first little teeth, you can help pave the way for a lifetime of healthy and beautiful smiles.

Kelsey Grammer's Daughter Spencer On Their Holiday Movie (Exclusive) – Hollywood Life
by GossipPress November 27, 2022, 12:50 am 1.8k Views
Image Credit: Lifetime
Spencer Grammer and Kelsey Grammer are teaming up for their first true onscreen collaboration in Lifetime's The 12 Days of Christmas Eve. Spencer spoke EXCLUSIVELY with HollywoodLife about the holiday film, and she said it's just the "beginning of many other projects down the line" for her and her father.

Spencer and Kelsey Grammer star in a new Lifetime movie together. (Lifetime)
The 12 Days of Christmas Eve follows Brian Conway, a successful businessman whose relationships with those around him have suffered. His relationship with his daughter, Michelle, is strained, and he doesn't have a meaningful connection with his only granddaughter. When Brian gets into a car accident on Christmas Eve, Santa gives Brian 12 chances to re-do the day and repair the relationships in his life while finding the true meaning of Christmas.
Spencer revealed that working with her father was a joyful experience. "I think it's because my father has been such a great influence in my life and really taught me about the business, and we've always been kind of a vaudevillian family," Spencer said. "My mom is also a dancer and was a dancer on Broadway. That's how my parents met, so performing was always the place that was really easy. You leave all of your personal stuff at the door and you come in and you work. It's always been a sacred space, so we both treat it that way. It was super fun. We had a blast. We worked really well together."
She added, "I think that we have a good work ethic, and I've honed my craft a lot over these years, so working with him was just truly a pleasure. It was nice to put all the other personal stuff we may have had at the door and then come in and play father and daughter actually."
Spencer admitted that, like Brian and Michelle, she and her dad "struggle" sometimes. "I'm the firstborn, so I've seen everything," the actress noted. "When you are the firstborn you sort of set the tone for everyone else in a weird way, and your parents are also figuring it out, too. So I think it's just one of the most challenging relationships for the children as well as the parents because you're both learning how to be a family for the first time in a weird way."

The Greek alum pointed out that "family's complicated for everybody. It was nice that we brought some of that to the story as well, which I think allows people to want to change some of their family dynamics when they watch the film or realize that it's a catharsis that it's okay to struggle sometimes and that you can eventually have forgiveness for one another and move through it and enjoy the spirit of Christmas together."
Kelsey Grammer's Kids: What To Know About The 7 Children He Has With 4 Women
Spencer and Kelsey have already spoken about doing another film together in the future. "There's like a chance I might work on some other things with him, and we were talking about maybe doing another film similarly, but if I've learned anything in this business it's there's a lot of 'it going to happen' and a lot of 'it didn't happen.' It's definitely a possibility, but also, you never know. I like to put positive ideas out there, but I think we probably will. We really did have a great time working together. It was really easy and nice. It would just be a nice experience to do it again," Spencer told HollywoodLife. The 12 Days of Christmas Eve will air November 26 at 8 p.m. on Lifetime.

Q: Run Rspec immediately again after failures I'm doing some automated cross-browser testing with browserstack, and have a feature test running through a rake task for multiple browsers like so:
namespace :spec do
  desc "Run Selenium and record results to BrowserStack"
  task :browser_testing_demo => [:environment] do
    BROWSERS.keys.each do |browser_name|
      puts "Cross browser testing against #{browser_name}."

      Rake::Task["browser_testing_demo:#{browser_name}"].execute
    end
  end
end

namespace :browser_testing_demo do
  BROWSERS.keys.each do |browser_key|
    RSpec::Core::RakeTask.new("#{browser_key}_run".to_sym) do |t|
      t.pattern = 'spec/cross_browser/cross_browser_ui_spec.rb'
    end

    desc "Run rspec against #{BROWSERS[browser_key]['browser']} #{BROWSERS[browser_key]['browser_version']}"
    task browser_key do
      ENV['BROWSER_TASK_NAME'] = browser_key

      Rake::Task["browser_testing_demo:#{browser_key}_run"].execute
    end
  end
end

BROWSERS is just an imported json file with different browser configurations I'm interested in.  This works perfectly (connects with browserstack, runs tests, and records screenshots for all browsers) providing there are no errors.  The issue is when a failure or other error happens.  This causes the rspec to dump the results ("Failed exaples: ...") and the next rake task doesn't commence.  Any way to stop this behavior from happening?
(i've tried rescue blocks in various places to no avail.  I'm thinking there may be an rspec config that i can set?)

A: I was able to do this by adding this line to the my RSpec.configure block:
config.failure_exit_code = 0

It's been awhile…I was muted with life and work lately. As a result, I ended up with some decent artworks, which I am proud to show it to you guys.
Hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy doing it.
The layout is good, and navigation is easy.....the artwork is great. Think about changing the color of the background to a more neutral color, so that it doesnt clash with the artwork. Under "Cartoons", the last two links are switched.


Lean manufacturing is a trend that has been making its way around markets for years. It is a very simple idea – do the same or more production with less work, without sacrificing quality. The seven ways in which manufacturing creates wastes are: over production, unnecessary stock, inefficient transportation, unnecessary motion, waiting times, rejects and defects, and inappropriate processing.
By finding ways to slim down production lines, manufacturers are able to save money on production, labor and energy costs. These advantages also reduce the amount of waste produced during manufacturing, which can be friendly to the environment.
A lean manufacturer is one that finds ways to work smarter instead of harder. For example, when you realign your production line to use industrial robotic work cell automation, which can perform several applications at one workstation, manufacturers are able to do away with several different steps that are not necessary to the production process. This not only reduces waste, but it also speeds up production, making the entire process more efficient.
As mentioned above, a manufacturer that chooses lean practices is also investing in cleaner manufacturing. When a company reduces the amount of waste it produces during manufacturing, it is good for everyone involved. How is this done? By investing in equipment like industrial robots that are more precise in their applications. This means that they don't use as much material during dispensing and welding processes and do not remove too much during removal processes. This crackdown on worker errors, by switching to robot automation, completely leans the manufacturer's production tactics. When this waste is not produced, it also is more environmentally-friendly, while saving manufacturers money on material costs.
Are you a manufacturer that would like to invest in leaner manufacturing practices through an industrial automation solution? If so, contact RobotWorx. RobotWorx is a certified integrator for several top robotics companies, including ABB, KUKA, Motoman, Universal Robots, and FANUC. Our staff will work with you to build the perfect lean system for your production practices.

The three-time New York mayor is "considering" standing as the Tory candidate to be mayor of London in 2016, unnamed friends told The Sunday Times.
Mr Bloomberg, 73, was given an honorary knighthood by the Queen last year for his charity work in Britain, and is on the boards of the Serpentine gallery and Old Vic theatre.
He has a £20 million house in Knightsbridge and has previously referred to London as his "second home".
If it were to happen, Mr Bloomberg would be replacing his friend Boris Johnson, who was himself born in America, and who joked two years ago that the pair should do a "job swap".
Steve Hilton, former adviser to David Cameron, told The Sunday Times: "It would be an incredible coup for London if Mike Bloomberg could be persuaded to run for mayor here. His kind of pragmatic, problem-solving leadership is exactly what London needs."
If Mr Bloomberg were to run, he would need fast track citizenship – which usually takes five years. However, a Conservative Party source told The Sunday Times that they "don't think it would be a problem" – because Mr Bloomberg has invested more than £500 million in Britain, the paper reported.
However, Mr Bloomberg's former deputy mayor, Howard Wolfson, poured cold water on the prospect of a Bloomberg run for (London's) City Hall.
"You can quote me on the record ruling it out," he told the New York Post.
"He is flattered, but he loves New York City too much to leave it – and knows how tough it will be for anyone to follow Boris."

Underground mining helps reduce import of high-grade coal from foreign sources: Coal ministry official
it is desirable in terms of environmental as well as social costs.
Additional Secretary of the Ministry of Coal M. Nagaraju stated that creating awareness on underground coal mining is the need of the hour. In the last couple of years, the Centre has tried to encourage underground mining, he said at a conference on Underground Coal Mining - Challenges, Opportunities & Way in New Delhi on Thursday.
"We actually had put many underground mines out for auction, but not many opted for them as there are equally large numbers of open-cast mines available for bidding for a very low remuneration. Underground mining, everybody knows, costs higher than open-cast mining, so most businessmen wanting to have more profit opt for the latter," he added.
Nagaraju noted that even though India has a rich legacy of underground mining, somehow it has moved away from it unlike countries like Chile, Australia, America, Canada and USSR. Explaining the benefits of underground mining, he said, "Underground mining is more important if you take and compute the costs of environmental and climate change costs. Besides, large tracts of land need to be acquired for open-cast mining, which is not the case with underground mining. Also, the surface conditions of the land are not disturbed once the coal is extracted, it can be closed without damaging the climate. So, it is desirable in terms of environmental as well as social costs."
He also emphasised that underground mining will help bring down the import of coals. "With underground coal mining, the quality of coals will be better," stated Nagaraju, adding, "There is a need to reduce the import of high-grade coals from foreign sources, which we can achieve by encouraging underground coal mining here."
The Additional Secretary noted that it is important to consider the human costs when dealing with land. He shared, "I have been acquiring lands for the past three years for coal companies. I have interacted with people who lose land because the land is not just land, it is important to the social fabric and entails factors like capital, environment, etc. As far as possible, we should minimise the human cost of evicting people from their own lands, so that they'll also become partners for this kind of venture." He also stated that "private sector companies keep a certain portion of its profits for R&D purposes" in mining as it helps "in the long-term interest and security of the country."
Rajendra Ingale, Business Head-Coal Mining, Adani Enterprises Ltd, stated that underground mining has a significant potential to meet the nation's energy needs. "To maximise all of the benefits," he suggested, "the mining industry should accelerate its privatisation. With the help of infrastructural improvements and regulatory changes, it is necessary to enhance coal production and create new mines. When it comes to underground mining, which is efficient, the rewards are bigger." He stated that India has over 200 underground mining locations.
According to Sanjay Sharma, CEO of Skill Council for Mining Sector, "Skill development has an added responsibility for scaling projects for National Occupational Standards." He added, "Proper mine design, surveying, and research are necessary to meet the demands of the mining business. For the sector to grow, he underlined the importance of safety, productivity, quality assurance, mechanization, and waste management."

Background: School board members play an important role in providing physical activity opportunities before, during and after the school day through the adoption, monitoring and evaluation of local board policies. This presentation will share findings from a joint project of The California School Boards Association (CSBA) and California Project LEAN (Leaders Encouraging Activity and Nutrition) (CPL) to educate school decision-makers on policy strategies to increase opportunities for physical activity for all students before, during and after school.
Methods: CSBA and CPL developed and administered a survey to California school board members which provided quantitative and qualitative data about what school districts need to adopt, implement, monitor and evaluate policies to improve physical activity in the school setting. The formative research informed the development of school district trainings, policy briefs, sample policies and other communication pieces. A post-survey assessed school board member perceptions of policy and training materials developed and disseminated in the project.
Results: Expected outcomes from trainings and resources provided to California school board members include: elevated importance of physical activity and P.E.; stronger evidence and tools to improve physical activity and P.E. in schools; and an increased number of districts establishing policies and improving implementation and monitoring of existing policies to support physical activity.
Conclusions: This project illustrates how to engage school decision-makers in developing effective strategies to improve school-based physical activity for students, particularly in communities where access to physical activity opportunities are limited.
� Define the role and responsibilities of school boards in increasing physical activity opportunities before, during and after school for all students. � Describe case studies and resources highlighting successful strategies to implement physical activity policies in school districts. � Identify the challenges and opportunities in collaborating with school decision-makers to improve physical activity in schools for all students.

Review: Spike Lee's 'Chi-Raq' burns with rage After the murder of a child by a stray bullet, a group of women organize. Check out this story on statesmanjournal.com: http://stjr.nl/1Op8bC2
Jake Coyle, Associated Press Published 9:02 p.m. PT Dec. 23, 2015
The girldfriend of a Chicago gang leader persuades women to go on a sex strike until their men agree to end the senseless violence.

"Chi-Raq" 4 out of 4 stars
Stars: Nick Cannon, Wesley Snipes, Jennifer Hudson. Director: Spike Lee
Rated: R for strong sexual content including dialogue, nudity, language and some violence
More alive than most of the year's films put together, Spike Lee's "Chi-Raq" is urgent agitprop that pulsates with unalloyed rage for the "self-inflicted genocide" of South Chicago and explodes with full-hearted (and gloriously lewd) pleas for peace.
It's wildly uneven but it is wild. There's plenty here to quibble with (the film's title prompted outrage in Chicago), but unassailable is its passion to bring attention and compassion to Chicago's blood-soaked streets.
"This is an emergency" flashes across the screen early in "Chi-Raq," a hip-hop musical and a social satire that Lee co-wrote with Kevin Willmott ("C.S.A.: The Confederate States of America") and sets to the beat of Terence Blanchard's score. It's an updating of Aristophanes' ancient Greek comedy "Lysistrata," in which Athenian women wage a sex strike against their warrior men to end the Peloponnesian War. Lee and Willmott have transplanted the tale to Chicago, where the murder rate has far surpassed the number of Americans killed in Iraq.

Lee is best as a megaphone for street-level outrage. Whereas most filmmakers gradually ebb in spiritedness as they age, Lee — in good and not-so-good films — has remained uniquely unpredictable and remarkably prolific. His last great film, 2006's "When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts," fed off the fury of New Orleans residents after Hurricane Katrina.

"Chi-Raq," which takes its title from the controversial nickname for the violence-plagued city, is Lee's most vital film at least since then. It's a farce, wrapped heavily in stylistic overtures, with maybe a half-dozen introductions to Chicago and to "Chi-Raq," including Nick Cannon's "Pray 4 My City," played with lyrics blazed across the screen, and Samuel Jackson's pimplike narrator, Dolmedes, who raps, "We can't take this much more."

The story takes a long time to arrive, and when it does, it and the characters remain secondary to the overall frenzy of the movie, all of which is in rhyming verse. Here, Lysistrata is played by Teyonah Parris ("Dear White People"). She's the girlfriend of Cannon's gun-toting gangbanger, also named Chi-Raq. His gang is the Spartans, while the Trojans are led by Wesley Snipes' Cyclops. Inspired by the Liberian activist Leymah Gbowee, Lysistrata organizes a "total abstinence from knocking the boots" among the women of the Spartans and Trojans to stop the gang warfare.
Many scenes aren't about strictly advancing the story line but rather deepening the pain, outrage and absurdity. Particularly good is Dave Chappelle's cameo, in which he, at a strip club, frets about "the penis power grid" being shut down.
STATESMAN JOURNAL
Review: Gritty, soulful 'Creed' goes the distance
Some scenes don't work, particularly a cartoonish one with a racist Dixieland general (David Patrick Kelly), who ends up straddling a Civil War cannon in Confederate flag underpants. John Cusack as the Rev. Mike Corridan, who preaches at a funeral, is jarringly bad casting.
There's also a lingering feeling that in bringing the gender roles of ancient Greece to present-day South Chicago, Lee has reduced modern women to sex objects (albeit empowered ones) and men to libido-driven dogs.
But the outrageousness — the madness — is the point. In Chicago, Lee sees a seemingly helpless, tragic situation and he's marshalled all of himself — every ridiculous rhyme, every bit of bombast — for a truly impassioned film. By the time "Chi-Raq" reaches its powerful climax, he has made a sensational, stirring case for love, not war.
Directed by Spike Lee, a modern-day adaptation of the ancient Greek play "Lysistrata by Aristophanes" is set against the backdrop of gang violence in Chicago. (Photo: Roadside Attractions)

Titre : Strategic applications of nitrogen fertiliser to increase the yield and nitrogen use efficiency of wheat.
In southern Australia a large proportion of crop nitrogen requirements are usually applied early in the season, either just before or at sowing, or during the first 6-8 weeks after sowing. However, the time of greatest demand for nitrogen by wheat crops is during the stem-elongation phase when the crop is growing fastest, while early demand for nitrogen is small. The study utilised two field sites in South Australia (Hart and Mintaro) over two seasons (2003-04) to examine the effect of delayed applications of nitrogen fertiliser on nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) to dryland wheat. Treatments were applied to manipulate the crop canopy and to measure the balance between canopy size and structure and crop nitrogen uptake. In both seasons and sites significant (P<0.05) grain yield increases were obtained by later nitrogen application times. Grain protein also increases with rate of applied nitrogen and delayed time of application, with the 1st node (GS31) treatment generally producing the highest values. Applying higher rates of nitrogen fertiliser reduced NUE, while later applications were able to increase NUE. Canopy manipulation was able to increase crop nitrogen uptake, coinciding with improved grain yield formation. Generally, the data suggest that the nitrogen taken up later in the season is used very efficiently by the crop. The experiments outlined in this thesis showed that there is potential to improve NUE in dryland wheat grown in southern Australia, using tactical applications of nitrogen fertiliser.


This is a great post for many reasons. I totally agree with the importance of being a lifelong learner and using social media (especially Twitter) to allow us to learn from one another. I also appreciate how reflective you have been. It's hugely important to reflect in order to acknowledge strengths and weaknesses and, ultimately, grow to become an even better educator. You are modelling this for sure. Two of my favourite characteristics of the most successful teacher bloggers are honesty and vulnerability. It's wonderful that you are able to share the positives and negatives of your practice so openly.
Thank you so much for your support! It gives me the courage to persevere!

THE NAZI GERMAN GENOCIDE OF POLES – WAS NOT UTILITARIAN
07/12/2018 Jan Peczkis Historia, Książka, Polski, PopularneNo comments
The Origins of Totalitarianism by Hannah Arendt – Paperback, 527 pages. Published 1973 by Harcourt, Brace, Jovanovich (first published 1951). Edition Language: English. Literary AwardsNational Book Award Finalist for Nonfiction (1952)
Rejecting the Cult of Jewish Suffering. The 1937-1938 Slaughter of Soviet Poles Was An Act of Genocide. The Nazi Polokaust Was Not Utilitarian. Polish Nationalism Correctly Understood
Hannah Arendt was a German Jew who wrote many political works of enduring interest. There are now many reviews of this item in existence, and they discuss the main themes of this work. I instead focus on a few items of contemporary interest.
JEWS, VICTIMIZATION, AND CHRISTIAN ANTI-JUDAIC TEACHINGS
Hannah Arendt delivers a strong message to those who would blame Christianity for the Holocaust. She realizes that religious-based antagonisms between Jews and Christians were reciprocal in nature, and that the latter was not a forerunner of anti-Semitism, much less the Holocaust. She comments, (quote) Anti-Semitism, a secular nineteenth-century ideology–which in name, though not in argument, was unknown before the 1870's–and religious Jew-hatred, inspired by the mutually hostile antagonism of two conflicting creeds, are obviously not the same; and even the extent to which the former derives its arguments and emotional appeal from the latter is open to question. The notion of an unbroken continuity of persecutions, expulsions, and massacres from the end of the Roman Empire to the Middle Ages, the modern era, and down to our time, frequently embellished by the idea that modern anti-Semitism is no more than a secularized version of popular medieval superstitions, is no less fallacious (although of course less mischievous) than the corresponding anti-Semitic notion of a Jewish secret society that has ruled, or aspired to rule, the world since antiquity. (unquote). (p. xi).
JEWS WERE NOT SCAPEGOATS AND VICTIMS
In addition, Arendt parts ways with those who emphasize Jews historically as victims. She writes, (quote) Judaism, as it was now maintained chiefly by Jewish historians, had always been superior to other religions in that it believed in human equality and tolerance. That this was self-deceiving theory, accompanied by the belief that the Jewish people had always been the passive, suffering object of Christian persecutions, actually amounted to a prolongation and modernization of the old myth of chosenness… (unquote). (p. xiii).
She continues (quote) The representation of THE Jew as the incarnation of evil is usually blamed on remnants and superstitious memories from the Middle Ages, but is actually closely connected with the more recent ambiguous role which Jews played in European society since their emancipation. One thing is undeniable: In the postwar period Jews had become more prominent than ever. (unquote). (emphasis is Arendt's). (p. 354).
THE POLOKAUST–THE NAZI GERMAN GENOCIDE OF POLES–WAS NOT UTILITARIAN
One talking point used to justify Holocaust supremacism is the one about the Jews' Holocaust–unlike all other genocide–being uniquely irrational. In other words, Judeocentrists, as well as neo-Stalinists and LEWAKS, commonly assert that, because of Nazi actions during WWII, "Jews died because they were Jews, and Poles died because it was war." Arendt categorically rejects this phony dichotomy, not only because she realizes that the Germans intended eventually to exterminate the Slavs (e. g, p. 411, 424, 443), but also because the existing Nazi German mass murder of Poles went far beyond the utilitarian ends of the war and successful occupation. She writes, (quote) When they [the Nazis] liquidated the greater part of the Polish intelligentsia, they did it not because of its opposition, but because, according to their doctrine Poles had no intellect, and when they planned to kidnap blue-eyed and blond-haired children, they did not intend to frighten the population but to save "German blood". (unquote). (p. 342).
ARENDT RECOGNIZES THE FACT OF THE 1937-1938 GENOCIDE OF POLES DURING THE GREAT TERROR
Arendt finds parallels between the exterminatory policies of Nazis and Communists. For instance, in the Soviet Union, new groups targeted for extermination, after the former ruling classes, were the kulaks and the Russian Poles (1936-1938). (p. 424).
POLISH NATIONALISM WAS NOT IMPERIALIST: A REFRESHINGLY CORRECT UNDERSTANDING OF POLISH NATIONALISM
Nationalism, in academia, is nowadays commonly a dirty word. In contrast, Arendt realizes that there are different kinds of nationalism. She quips, (quote) Pan-Latinism is a misnomer for a few abortive attempts of the Latin nations to make some kind of alliance against the German danger, and even Polish Messianism never claimed more than what at some time might conceivably have been Polish-dominated territory. (unquote). (pp. 232-233)

Dread the holidays for the big bills that always follow? You don't have to! Here are 3 smart ways to save you money even before the holidays arrive.
The holiday season is usually an expensive time of year. Many families find themselves struggling to pay for expenses and resort to using credit cards to pay their bills. While this may work for some, you may end up paying more for your purchases due to interest rates. That's why if you want to tackle the holiday season with enough funds to pay for everything, here are a 3 smart ways to save money even before they arrive.
One of the best ways to save money on holiday travel involves searching for plane tickets well in advance of your travel dates.
Travel takes up a large portion of the holiday budget for most families. Sign up for alerts and notifications when prices drop to certain destinations. Several online services even offer apps for your smartphone that will notify you when rates decrease.
If you set money aside in advance, you can purchase the tickets when the prices drop.
Not only will you save yourself a lot of stress and a few headaches, you can also save money by shopping early. Set aside money each month to pay for gifts.
As the holiday season draws closer, look for sales and purchase gifts when they're on sale. If you see something you think would make a good holiday gift at a low price, purchase it on the spot.
Purchase holiday decorations at the end of the current season. Most stores sell wrapping paper, ornaments and other holiday decor at significant discounts (often up to 75 per cent off) at the end of the season. Simply store the new purchases until next year and you couldpotentiallysave hundreds of dollars.
Setting aside funds early is one of the best ways to save money for holiday shopping.
Open a separate savings account or withdraw cash from the bank and stash it in an envelope.
If you plan to buy gifts at a specific store, purchase store gift cards and use them when you're ready.
Decide how much you plan to spend on the holidays and divide that number by 12. Set aside the smaller amount each month. That way when the time comes to purchase gifts and other holiday items, you'll have all the money you need.


India: India's largest budget hotel chain OYO Rooms is in talks with a Los Angeles based firm to take over its Indian operations.
Los Angeles-based Berggruen Holdings, a private equity and venture capital firm worth $2 billion, runs Berggruen Hotels in India under the Keys Hotels brand.
It operates hotels and serviced apartments across 20 cities including Gurugram, Chennai, Mumbai and hill stations including Manali and Mahabaleshwar.
OYO, led by Ritesh Agarwal, has been expanding rapidly and is looking to invest in or acquire apartments, co-working or co-living spaces.
It is close to acquiring co-working space Innov8 in a Rs 200 crore all-cash deal.
OYO Rooms had an inventory of 458,000 rooms globally by the end of 2018. "We will have one million rooms inventory into our fold in the near distant future. I think, it should happen in a year and a half," OYO CEO, India and South Asia, Aditya Ghosh said. This will help OYO to become the "world's top player from number three now", he claimed.
The company has set a target of 2.5 million rooms by 2023. It has recently strengthened its position in the Chinese and Indonesian markets, as well as making its debut in the US.
At present, OYO has more than 13,000 franchised and leased hotels. The company has changed from the aggregator model to own inventories through the franchisee or lease operation model. Global room nights saw a 430 per cent rise year on year growth from six million in December 2016 to 75 million in December 2018.
