Reformation 500: 50 Reformation publications
By Kathryn Kleinhans May 19, 2017
As we commemorate the 500th anniversary of the Reformation, Living Lutheran is exploring 500 of its unique aspects, continuing our series this month with 50 Reformation publications.
This list is not meant as an all-encompassing compendium of everything essential to the Reformation and its theology, but rather as a glimpse of the variety of ways the movement that Martin Luther sparked in 1517 would influence the history of the world.
Novum Instrumentum omne (Desiderius Erasmus, 1516)
The humanist scholar Erasmus' critical edition of the New Testament texts in Greek was the basis for Martin Luther's translation of those books into German.
95 Theses (Martin Luther, 1517)
Luther opposed the sale of indulgences, claiming instead that grace is a free gift from God. The posting of the 95 Theses on Oct. 31, 1517, is considered to mark the beginning of the Reformation.

Luther described two dimensions of Christian life: faith unites us with Christ and leads to loving service of our neighbors.
A Brief Instruction on What to Look for and Expect in the Gospels (Martin Luther, 1521)

The definitive collection of creeds and 16th-century faith statements of the Lutheran church.
Loci Communes, or Common Places in Theology (Philipp Melanchthon, 1521)

Visual arts alumna finds her 'plaice'
It's always an adventure to find La Trobe's alumni. Rhyll Plant was discovered on paper in this year's Castlemaine State Festival open studios program, then in person down a dusty, corrugated back road, up and down and around the hills and valleys of old gold ground.
She waves us down out the front of Speargrass Studio; a purpose-built building beside her home with views over the valley and bush beyond. Inside, it's all ply timber floors and big map drawers, printing presses and works on paper, and the intriguing tools of the printmaker's trade.
When Rhyll was 16 she purchased some of these old tools from a clearance sale. Their patina appealed to a girl with a love of the handmade, although she was clueless as to their purpose.
"I carried them around with me from share house to share house for the best part of 30 years," Rhyll says. "It wasn't until I was at uni when this guy turned up with the same tools that I learnt what they were."
That uni was La Trobe in Bendigo, that guy was Hanging Rock-based artist and guest lecturer Tim Jones, and the tools were for wood block engraving. "I like to think they found me," Rhyll says, who quickly developed a passion for the time-honoured art of carving pictures into timber blocks for printing.
Rhyll enrolled to study a Master of Visual Arts in 1995 thinking she'd discover the painter within, but found her heart lay in the printmaking room. "For me was just really strong, it drew me in. I loved the technical side of it, particularly the wood engraving."
It's not surprising when you learn of Rhyll's past. She was born and raised on Phillip Island and grew up with a family who loved, and fostered a love of, natural history. For a young person with artistic talent, that was expressed as botanical illustration and precision pictures of shells and fish.
Rhyll volunteered with Museum Victoria at 17, gained employment as a technician and trained as a taxonomic illustrator. She's been illustrating for the institution for 50 years. In 2013 her work featured in the museum's exhibition and book The Art of Science. "I'm rubbing pages with my gods," she says. Think ornithologists John Gould and John James Audubon. Rhyll's pages explain how she "uses spirit specimens, briefly extracted from a jar stored for perpetuity in a museum shelf, as subjects for her visual puns". The main artwork published here is Rhyll's 'Plaice Mat', the fish being between knife and fork. It's a prime example of the humour often expressed in her art… for further specimens see the book she published with her graphic designer son, If You Knew Sushi, a 'scientific' exploration of the many varieties of soy fish, and a cheeky comment on single-use plastic tat.
Despite a successful creative career, a university degree was calling. When Rhyll enrolled at La Trobe her twin children were six years old, she was ready to do something for herself, and encouraged by a friend who was pursuing the art course. "I had a ball," she says, "It was fabulous. It was a lovely balance of a wonderful exploration of stuff that interested me, but also hands-on making. I dragged it out for as long as I could – 10 years – and I even repeated subjects I'd done at other institutions."
Rhyll finished her studies with a thesis on the art of printmaking and a new career as a printmaker in arty Castlemaine – the Mount Alexander Shire is known to harbor Australia's highest concentration of printmakers per capital. Although very few of them work with wood.
A visit to Speargrass Studio is an education not only into Rhyll's world, but as to why the art form is rare and special. Rhyll says she spends a lot of time giving a potted history of the rise and fall of wood block printing. It's all part of her philosophy of sharing her uni years. "The masters was such a valuable thing to do that to keep it to myself seems wrong," she says.
For Rhyll, it's the process of making the work that's most valuable. The sourcing and sawing and cutting of wood, the hours spent engraving, music playing, lost in the making. She says it gives her "everything from grief to meditation".
"It's very satisfying. A famous painter once said that art works are just the unwanted result of a fabulous process."
In Rhyll's case however, the works are far from unwanted, and hence, post-studies, she has become one of the region's celebrated artists, taking regular part in one of Australia's best-loved regional cultural festivals.
Visit Rhyll this weekend at Speargrass Studio where wood engravings, linocuts, nature prints and screen prints line the walls, at 191 Happy Valley Road, Castlemaine.

Power Recap: Everyone's Looking Forward To "When This Is Over"
Season 5 of 'Power' ends with a dramatic cliffhanger.
By Bernard Beanz Smalls
Recent 09.09.18
Source: Starz / Power
We made it: 9 episodes of deceit, backstabbing, and excessive lying all leads to Power's season 5 finale. In last week's penultimate episode, things got progressively worse despite everyone's best efforts and trying to cover their tracks.
Tommy is back to being an emotional wreck after having to take out his own father, Riq makes it clear that he wants to be just like his "dad" and learn the game, and Dre makes a deal with Angela for the sake of himself and his daughter. But no one felt the walls closing in on them more than Angela who is now the main subject of a RICO case levied against her by her own team. All of those developments set up each and every plot twist that took place in Power's season ender.
Time Is Running Out For Angela
Source: Starz /Power
Angela is now on the clock and has a very important decision to make. The RICO case they dropped names her as an accomplice to the murder of A.U.S.A. Mike Sandoval. With her lawyer Charles Hamilton (Gary Dourdan) present, Angela's former colleagues and boss drop some harsh accusations on her, Ghost, Tommy, and Tasha. Angela feels the pressure but doesn't fold, she knows they can't prove anything yet and asks for 24 hours to make a decision.
Snitching, of course, is the last thing she wants to do because she does not want to put the man she loves behind bars. Quickly thinking she reaches out to everyone to set up a meeting and fill them in on the recent developments. The unlucky team meets at their high school where Angela breaks down piece by piece the Rico case against them. Taking the lead, she assigns each person a target that she knows her former team will try to squeeze information out of hoping to get them to flip. Angela instructs Ghost to handle Proctor, Tasha to talk to LaKeisha and she will take care of Dre cause she has a plan.
Unfortunately what she doesn't know is that Terry Silver is back in town and he is working with feds in hopes of making a deal to save Tasha. Them there's backstabbing; during the meeting, Tommy makes it clear that Angela has to hand Tasha a note stating they need to kill her now. Tasha tells him to chill, and that now is not the time, but she does agree Valdez has to go.
Dre Has Nine Lives
No one has been luckier than Dre this season. He has been shot at nearly every episode, and they just can't seem to get rid of this guy. Dre is already in deep trouble with his former connect Alicia who wants him dead now after he made a deal with Angela to giving up the head of Jimenez cartel and his No.2 Cristobal. As a reward for becoming a snitch, Angela promised to put him and his daughter in witness protection ensuring the cartel won't find him.
Well, Angela's help can't come soon enough, while taking down his baby mother in the bedroom two hitters sneak into his apartment and try to assassinate him. Somehow they were pretty sloppy, and Dre spots them in the corner of his eye and is able to avoid the bullets. With the help of his baby momma, Dre manages to kill both of the Jimenez hitmen— dodging death once again.
Rattled after the attempt on his life he instructs his lackey 2-Bit to bring him a bulletproof vest and round up some quick cash for him. Dre tells 2-Bit about his whole plan to pin all of the hits on Alicia, but he plans on "telling the truth" and tell the feds that it was Ghost and Tommy clearing his name. 2-Bit is clearly annoyed at the fact that Dre is even snitching in the first place but does not express his frustrations. Instead in typical Power fashion, 2-Bit goes behind Dre's back to Tommy and tells him about the entire plan.
With the new information, Tommy calls Angela and tells her he plans on taking out Dre once and for all but Angela reveals she has a plan in place for Dre. We quickly learn what exactly that plan is when Tommy, 2-Bit, Spanky, and others ambush Dre while he's trying to meet up with Angela. We witness another intense shootout which leads to Dre taking a bullet to the leg.
Wounded and running out of places to hide, Dre takes a leap of faith through a window. A van rolls up, and to our surprise, it's Angela's one night stand F.B.I. bae waiting inside with a form for Dre to sign implicating Alicia. With no other options, Dre signs the paper, and the van pulls off. This was all part of the plan, Tommy gets his organization back, a bunch of new recruits and gets Dre out of the picture for now.
LaKeisha Is Tired of Lying For The St. Patricks
LaKeisha is just tired of having to lie and deal with all of these people. All she wants is to do hair, take care of her son Cash ( who we never see) and be in a relationship with Tommy. Unfortunately, after a visit with her white gangster boo doesn't go as planned when he kicks her out in a booger sugar-induced rage and she is greeted by her "bestie" Tasha.
The visit wasn't to lend moral support or to give her a shoulder to cry on after being screamed on. Instead, Tasha is there to maker sure LaKeisha's story is straight. Keisha is insulted that Tasha is just ignoring her tears and only thinking about herself. Tasha apologizes, and things seem to be back to normal but the moment quickly becomes contentious again when she asks if Keisha has her story straight. Over it, Keisha gets her Martin Lawrence on and kicks her best friend out of her apartment and tells her not to come back.
With her pride in shambles, Tasha sends a text to Tommy and tells him to get his girlfriend in check. To make matters worse, Keisha is approached by Saxe, and he applies even more pressure to a very tense situation. Saxe reveals to her that Tony Teresi is dead and she immediately understands now why Tommy was behaving the way he was with her.
Tommy invites Keisha back over after receiving the text from Tasha to apologize or possibly kill her if she doesn't get in line. Keisha quickly reveals she understands why he was behaving the way he was because he had to kill his own father. Shocked that Keisha knew that tidbit of information, he gets her to explain that Saxe ran up on her. Keisha tells the caucasian gangster that Saxe is threatening to throw her in jail and take away her son if she can't get him to flip on Ghost.
The meeting is interrupted by a knock on the door, it's none other than Saxe and he's bearing even more information. Knowing that Tommy is not trying to hear a word he has to say, he immediately plays a tape of the gangster's late father saying there is nothing on Tommy and he had no intentions of snitching on his son with his primary mission being to get Ghost. The new revelation hits Tommy quickly, he takes the recorder and sends Saxe on his way. Keisha comes out of hiding (Saxe already knew she was there) and he tells her the new information.
Tommy is sick, but Keisha understands why he did it so tells her he has to go and handle some business. Now fully down for the cause, she tells him she will be waiting for him when he gets back.
Silver Should Have Stayed Hidden
The world searched for Silver after he packed up every damn thing and got the hell out of dodge. His love for Tasha brings him back, but that turns out to be fatal. Any Power fan knows a kiss from Tasha St. Patrick is the kiss of death.
Silver surprises Tasha at her hotel in hopes to explain himself and make things right between them again. He tells her that if she flips on Ghost she will, in essence, save herself and won't be sent to prison. Tasha is not trying to hear it and sends Silver and his brunch boots on his merry way she wants nothing to do with him. She will quickly have to change her stance on that though after Angela explains to her the importance of having Silver on their side.
Tasha knows she has the man wrapped around her finger and she has the one vital tool to keep him in line. They link up again, and this time things get steamy. Tasha's job is complete, but unbeknownst to them, Ghost was watching the entire thing go down. When Tasha pulls off, Ghost seizes his moment to finally kill Silver— it looks like he still has some feelings for his estranged wife after all.
Tasha and Tommy Make Their Own Moves
The death of Silver has serious implications almost immediately. Angela's plan to get Dre to implicate Alicia worked and she invites Tasha over to celebrate. Tasha enters the apartment but leaves the door unlocked, and we quickly learn why. Angela congratulates Tasha for getting Silver to not show up to the hearing, but Tasha states the plan was for him to show up.
Tasha and Angela's intense confrontation that has been a long-time coming is interrupted by Tommy who makes his way into the apartment and it looks like now is the time to finally kill Angela. The heat is on Angela as she tries to convince her former unlikely team members that she did not tell Ghost about Silver being back in town. Tommy has his own concerns in regards to his father Teresi and how Ghost knew about that. Angela does fess up to telling James and showing him the pictures, but that isn't enough for Tommy.
It's when she reveals she took the pictures of the photos of Teresi on Saxe's desk is when Tasha intervenes and tells Tommy not to kill Angela for now.
Tommy Gets His Revenge
After her brush with death in her apartment, Angela immediately links up with Ghost because she has questions, and so does he. The two both have doubts about each other after having separate conversations. After a meeting with Proctor where his lawyer points out that there's a female witness who knows James is Ghost. The usually reliable Proctor believes that woman is Angela —despite it actually being Maria Saurez—ad hammers the point home that Ghost needs to protect himself and his family not Angela.
Angela believes Ghost killed Silver and feels she can no longer trust him and doubts their fairytale ending is ever going to happen. She immediately asks James if he did the deed and after a long pause Ghost lies and says he did not kill Silver. The two embrace and hug each other and kiss for what might be the last time. While all this was going on between the forbidden lovers, Tommy secretly shows up after having a conversation with Vincent and learning Ghost gave the photos to the Italian mob boss.
His mission is to take out Ghost once and for all because his dad was the final straw. As Tommy is about to pull the trigger, Angela sees him and moves Ghost out-of-the-way taking a bullet in the chest. In shock. Ghost looks up and sees the smiling Tommy who may have missed his target but taking out Angela is a great consolation prize. We are left with Angela bleeding out and Ghost crying over her. Now it looks like season six we will once again be Ghost vs. Tommy. Is this Angela's last moment on the show? This is one hell of a cliffhanger to leave us on.

So what exactly is a polar vortex? On the huge MI lake steam rose in to the air, because cold air is attracted masses over the warmer seawater. A wind chill of minus-20 degrees can cause frostbite in as little as 30 minutes.
Though climate change has been widely covered throughout our Opinions section over the years, as the frigid wind plagues the Bluff this week, here are some fast facts that help explain how "Global Waming [sic]" factors into the record setting temperatures we're experiencing. The eighteen-year-old was found unresponsive on campus early Wednesday morning just a short walk from his dorm, according to university officials.
The Cedar Rapids Kennedy High graduate's father, Michael Belz, said he was told by two doctors, a counselor and a UI police captain that his son's death was not alcohol-related.
One death involved an elderly IL man whose body was found hours after he had fallen trying to get back into his home.
At least two people - including a 70-year-old - died in the Detroit area of IL on Wednesday.
However, despite concern about extreme cold conditions, the president still seems to have difficulty differentiating between climate and weather. More than 2,000 people die every year across the USA in residential fires, with faulty heaters a significant factor in these disasters.
In Saco, Maine, firefighters had to worry about frostbite, slippery conditions and frozen gear as they chipped away at ice and snow to move hoses.
About nine injured motorists were taken to hospital.
Also according to the New York Times, in December 2017, parts of the US were 15 to 30 degrees Fahrenheit colder than average, but the world as a whole was.9 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than the 1979-2000 average. About 15 miles (24 km) south in the community of Ecorse, a former city councilman in his 70s and dressed only in sleepwear was also found dead on Wednesday, police there said.
FlightAware monitoring service said the weather forced the cancellation of 2,622 flights nationwide on Wednesday. About 1,700 flights in and out of Chicago airports were canceled.
The former No. 4 overall pick of the 2015 Draft, Porzingis has been sidelined for almost a year with an ACL injury. Porzingis now has the world wondering what else went into the Knicks' decision to deal away their franchise star.
For gamers, Samsung claims to have optimised popular games like PUBG Mobile for smoother gameplay on the Galaxy M20. Samsung Galaxy M20 is expected to sport the rear mounted fingerprint scanner as well as face ID unlock technology.
Classes at Chicago Public Schools remain closed Thursday due to the risky weather.
Temperatures in parts of the frigid Midwest were beating even the most frigid areas in the world on Wednesday.
A low of -23 deg C was forecast in Chicago and elsewhere in northern IL on Wednesday.
Homeless people huddle over steam grates near the Enterprise Center in St. Louis, Mo., on Wednesday amid extreme cold.
In a rare move, the U.S. Postal Service suspended mail delivery on January 30 in parts or all of several Midwest states, including Michigan, North and South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, and IL.
Temperatures in nearly a dozen states stretching more than 1,930km (1,200 miles) from the Dakotas to OH were forecast to be the coldest in a generation, if not on record.
John Gagan, a National Weather Service (NWS) meteorologist, said: "The intensity of this cold air, I would say, is once in a generation". It probably would not happen at an official reporting station, which are usually airports, but would likely come in mid-morning from one of its cooperative weather observers in the coldest locations in Minnesota.
The brutal blast known as the polar vortex is a stream of cold air that spins around the stratosphere over the North Pole, but whose current has been disrupted and is now pushing south into the United States.
After a bitter-cold morning with temperatures that sank all the way to minus-48 in northwest Minnesota, with wind chills down to minus-65, the air ostensibly "warmed" Wednesday afternoon, to readings such as minus-18 in Grand Forks, North Dakota, and minus-22 in Rockford, Illinois.
The cold weather goes back to a sudden warming far above the North Pole. They captioned the graphic, "winter storms don't prove that global warming isn't happening".

Think of some great American trumpet players. I'm sure everyone can come up with an impressive list of players both past and present. Now, go back through that list and pick out the women. What's that you say? There aren't any? Hmmm. Now take a look at your local band programs. How many females occupy the seats in the junior high, high school, or college trumpet sections? I'm guessing not too many. These are exactly the trends Kiku Collins is hoping to bring to an end.
Kiku started her trumpet career in a small, New Jersey town following in the footsteps of her older, trumpet playing brother. By the age of 12 her skills were becoming apparent despite being one of the only females in her school band. At age 16, after spending two summers in their National Music Camp, she earned herself a scholarship and a place in the prestigious Interlochen Arts Academy in Michigan. From there, Kiku went on to study classical performance at the Manhattan School of Music under the tutelage of her mentor, Dr. Mel Broiles. He constantly encouraged her, as one of his few female students, to fight on and pursue her dreams. His words have stuck with her and have helped shape the successful career she has now.
In 2006, Kiku's career took the biggest jump to date. After years of playing with her own group, sitting in with other artists, and countless studio sessions, she landed the role of Beyonce Knowles' trumpet player. The next year was a whirlwind. Performing with Beyonce and her band for numerous television appearances, multiple music videos, and a world tour befitting a pop superstar.
Somehow, through it all, she was able to write, arrange, and record her own jazz album. Here With Me is an instrumental album featuring Kiku on flugelhorn and also her multi-tracking on trumpet and trombone. The album debuted to rave reviews, opening doors for the trumpeter including an invite to headline two brass festivals in Europe. First with The Brass Group in Palermo, Italy and second the Durham Brass Festival in Durham, England. Even more impressive is the fact that, despite performing with Beyonce and promoting her own album, Kiku still found the time and energy to continue with her hectic NYC schedule. Playing gigs around the city, sitting in on recording sessions with other artists, and most importantly raising her six year old daughter.
What does the future hold for Ms. Collins? She's continuing to promote Here With Me while working on album number two. As usual, she can be found performing her solo work all over NYC. You can also catch her playing around town with other artists/groups like Psycho the Clown and Voltaire to name a few. Biggest of all is that she is joining Michael Bolton as the lead trumpet for his current American tour. Pretty good for a girl in a supposedly all boys club. A fact Kiku expects isn't lost on her young fans. She hopes that her talent, style, and success can inspire the next generation of female trumpet players.

A gzip egy számítógépes alkalmazás adatok tömörítésére és kibontására. A kifejezés legtöbbször a GNU Projekt implementációra utal, ahol a gzip a GNU zip rövidítése. Alapja a DEFLATE algoritmus, mely a Lempel-Ziv (LZ77) és a Huffman-kódolás kombinációja. A programot Jean-Loup Gailly és Mark Adler készítette, mint a korai Unix rendszereken használt compress algoritmus szabad szoftveres helyettesítése, a GNU projektben való használat céljára. A 0.1-es verziót nyilvánosan először 1992 október 30-án adták ki, míg az 1.0-sat 1993 februárjában.

A gzip OpenBSD verziója igazából a compress program, amelyhez a gzip formátum támogatását az OpenBSD 3.4-ben adták hozzá. A "g" ebben a verzióban a gratis-t jelöli.

A FreeBSD, a DragonFlyBSD és a NetBSD a GNU verzió egy BSD licencű implementációját használják; ez valójában a zlib parancssori interfésze, melynek célja a GNU implementációs lehetőségeivel való kompatibilitás. Ezek az implementációk eredetileg a NetBSD-ről érkeztek, támogatják a bzip2 kitömörítését és az Unix pack(1) formátumot.

A fájlformátum

A gzip alapja a DEFLATE algoritmus, mely az LZ77 és a Huffman-kódolás kombinációja. A DEFLATE célja az LZW és más szabadalommal védett adattömörítő eljárások helyettesítése volt, melyek akkor limitálták a compress és más népszerű archiválók használatát.

A "gzip" kifejezést gyakran használják a fájlformátumra is, amely:
 egy 10 bájtos fejrész (header), melyben van egy mágikus szám (magic number), egy verziószám és egy időbélyeg
 opcionális extra fejrészek, benne például az eredeti fájlnév,
 egy belső rész (body), benne egy DEFLATE-tel tömörített felhasználói adat (payload)
 egy 8 bájtos lábrész (footer), benne egy CRC-32 checksum és az eredeti tömörítetlen adat hossza

Habár az eredeti formátum engedélyezi több adat összefűzését (a zippelt fájlok kitömörítéskor ezen esetben úgy jelennek meg, mintha eredetileg egy fájlban lettek volna), a gzipet általánosságban csak egy fájlra használják. A tömörített archívumokat általánosságban a fájlokat egy tar archívumba fűzik össze, melyet aztán gzippel tömörítenek. A végső .tar.gz vagy .tgz fájlt általánosan "tarball"-nak hívják.

A gzip nem egyezik meg a zip fájlformátummal, mely szintén használja a DEFLATE-et. Egy ZIP formátumú fájl egyszerre több fájlt is tartalmazhat külön archiváló használata nélkül, ám kevésbé kompakt, mint az ugyanazon adatot tartalmazó tarball, mivel a fájlokat külön-külön tömöríti és ezáltal nem tudja kihasználni a fájlok közti esetleges redundanciát.

A Zlib egy elvonás a DEFLATE algoritmusból könyvtárformátumban, mely egyaránt tartalmazza a gzip fájlformátumot és egy kisméretű stream formátumot az API-jában. A zlib stream formátum, a DEFLATE és a gzip formátumokat sorban az RFC 1950, az RFC 1951, és az RFC 1952 írják le.

A gzippelt fájlok kitömörítésére szolgáló program a gunzip. Mindkét program egyazon binárist hívja meg, a gunzip ugyanazt a hatást éri el, mint a gzip -d.

A gunzip és a zcat
A gzip eszköz az UNIX rendszereken több néven is fut.

Amikor a gzipre mint gunzip hivatkoznak, akkor az adatokat kitömöríti (egy fájlt vagy a standard bemenetet). A gunzip a gzip -d megfelelője.

Amikor a gzipre mint zcat hivatkoznak, szintén kitömöríti az adatot, ám a cat parancshoz hasonlóan viselkedik. Külön fájlokat tömörít ki és összefűzi őket a standard bemeneten.

A zcat a gzip -d -c megfelelője.

Példák
 Egy fájl gzippel való tömörítésénél a fájlnevet kell paraméterként megadni:

 gzip file.txt

A parancs az új fájlt egy kisebbel helyettesíti, általában file.txt.gz néven. Az eredeti file.txt megtartásához szükségeltetik a -c opció használata és az új fájl más névre való átirányítása. A jobb tömörítéshez a -9, míg a gyorsabbhoz a -1 opció használható.

 A kitömörítéshez a gunzip használható gunzip:

 gunzip file.txt.gz

 Általánosságban több fájlt tömöríteni a tarballok segítségével lehet:

 tar -czf files.tar.gz *.txt

Egyéb használat

A HTTP protokollban a Content-Encoding header használata lehetővé teszi a gzip formátumú tömörített adatátvitelt. Több HTTP-szerver támogatja a tartalom tömörítését, köztük az Apache Httpd és a Microsoft ISS is.

A böngészők között szintén elterjedt a gzip tömörítés támogatása. A Firefox, a Chrome, a Safari és az Opera is támogatja. Az Internet Explorer újabb verziói is adnak támogatást a gzip tömörítés használatára, bár a népszerű, Windows XP-vel szállított 6-os verzióban proxy használata esetén a támogatás hibás.

Lakes, Dams and Rivers
Lakes and rivers are bodies of water localized within a basin and surrounded by land. Lakes are relatively still waters, while rivers are moving waters on or below the land surface. The formation of lakes and rivers has been greatly influenced by the Rift Valley faulting, which divides the drainage basins between east and west in Kenya, and by mountain uplift. Inland waters cover about eight per cent of Kenya's land surface. Freshwater resources, including rivers, lakes and swamps are widely distributed among the five main drainage basins.
The large freshwater lakes and rivers are highly productive and support a rich variety of water plants, vertebrates and invertebrates and micro-organisms. The alkaline lakes of the rift valley are also renowned worldwide for their algal productivity and populations of up to three million flamingoes that migrate between the lakes along the length of the rift valley, depending on algal abundance.
Importance of Lakes and Rivers
Collectively, Kenya's lakes and rivers contain some 20 billion cubic meters of water—which has a large bearing on local climate. They capture nutrients and sediments eroded from the land and so sustain a highly productive and diverse assemblage of plants and animals. Freshwater habitats support unique and specialized species, several endemics and many rare or threatened species. Lakes and rivers are important stepping stones for Palearctic migratory birds, flamingoes and shore birds. They also supply the bulk of the water that drives the Kenyan economy, from farming and ranching to industry, commerce and settlement. Freshwater fisheries have, until recently, been dominated by traditional and artisanal fishing communities but now sustain commercial fisheries in L. Victoria and Turkana. Rivers also produce hydroelectric power, filter and provide clear water for human settlement and, together with lakes, provide transport routes for commerce and a range of amenities that attract tourists, outdoor and water-sports enthusiasts.

Federal Circuit Vacates Fee Award Against the Federal Government
In other news yesterday, the Federal Circuit vacated a fee award in FastShip, LLC v. United States (precedential opinion by Judge Dyk, joined by Judges Wallach and Chen). This was an action by a patent owner for compensation against the U.S. government, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1498(a), which states:
Whenever an invention described in and covered by a patent of the United States is used or manufactured by or for the United States without license of the owner thereof or lawful right to use or manufacture the same, the owner's remedy shall be by action against the United States in the United States Court of Federal Claims for the recovery of his reasonable and entire compensation for such use and manufacture. Reasonable and entire compensation shall include the owner's reasonable costs, including reasonable fees for expert witnesses and attorneys, in pursuing the action if the owner is an independent inventor, a nonprofit organization, or an entity that had no more than 500 employees at any time during the 5-year period preceding the use or manufacture of the patented invention by or for the United States. Notwithstanding the preceding sentences, unless the action has been pending for more than 10 years from the time of filing to the time that the owner applies for such costs and fees, reasonable and entire compensation shall not include such costs and fees if the court finds that the position of the United States was substantially justified or that special circumstances make an award unjust.
In earlier proceedings, the patent owner had prevailed in part, and was awarded approximately $7 million. See FastShip, LLC v. United States, 892 F.3d 1298 (Fed. Cir. 2018). The Court of Federal Claims thereafter awarded an additional $6.1 million in attorneys' fees, based partly on the government's pre-litigation conduct, which in that court's view was not (to use the statutory language above) "substantially justified." See yesterday's opinion p.3, discussing how the Claims Court "found it unreasonable for a government contractor to gather information from FastShip about designing a [littoral combat ship] but not to include it as part of the team that awarded the contract," and also that "the Navy took an exceedingly long to time to act on FastShip's administrative claim and did not provide sufficient analysis in denying that claim." In May 2020, however, the Federal Circuit in Hitkansut v. United States held that a fee award under § 1498(a) cannot be based on pre-litigation conduct (see previous blog post here, discussing the court's reasons for reaching this conclusion). In that case, the court nevertheless affirmed the award based on the government's conduct during litigation; here, however, the court remanded for further consideration, noting that one of the two problems the Claims Court found with the government's litigation conduct (its use of an expert witness who was a person of "extraordinary," rather than "ordinary," skill in the art) wasn't relevant either.
Note that, in normal patent infringement litigation in which the government is not the defendant, the court can award fees only in "exceptional cases" under Patent Act § 285. This would seem to be a higher standard than in a § 1498(a) action--though in the latter context, the statute limits awards to prevailing plaintiffs only, and even then only if they qualify as small entities ("an independent inventor, a nonprofit organization, or an entity that had no more than 500 employees at any time during the 5-year period preceding the use or manufacture of the patented invention by or for the United States"). On the other hand, the case law under § 285 makes it clear that pre-litigation conduct (e.g., willful infringement on the part of the defendant, or a pattern of questionable patent assertion by the plaintiff) can be relevant to the determination of whether a case is exceptional.
For further discussion of FastShip, see this story on Bloomberg.

BYU students start 'Bachelor of Provo' YouTube series that's going viral in Utah for its awkward charm
By Arianna Rees @AriWRees

The remaining contestants on "The Bachelor of Provo."

Utah 'Bachelor' contestant Marikh Mathias talks post-'Bachelor' life, dishes on Arie
'The Bachelor' has its first #MeToo moment: Caelynn Miller-Keyes reveals to Colton Underwood she was raped in college
PROVO — It's been called "the show no one asked for and all of Utah deserves" and "a type of cringe I never knew I needed," and it all began as a joke between BYU students Colin Ross, Remington Butler and their friends last fall.
"Me and Colin were joking with some people in our complex," Butler told the Deseret News, "and we were talking about how he kind of looks like one of the contestants from one of the old seasons of 'The Bachelorette.'"
The group talked about what it would be like to create their own parody of ABC's hit reality show "The Bachelor" and joked about filming 20-year-old Ross going on dates.
Remington Butler
The flyer Remington Butler created and handed out on campus to get applicants for "The Bachelor of Provo."
Soon after, and without Ross's knowledge, Butler made a flyer with Ross's picture and instructions on how to apply to be on "The Bachelor of Provo."
"He came home with a stack of like 500 flyers, and I was like, 'OK, this is real,'" Ross said.
Butler and his friends distributed the flyers at freshman dorms and a few other places across the Brigham Young University campus with the hopes that they'd get a handful of applicants. According to Butler, they received close to 200 responses.
"We were very surprised," Butler said. "We were like, 'Alright, well, let's see where this goes, and I guess see if we can get Colin a girlfriend.'"
"The Bachelor of Provo" premiered on YouTube on Jan. 11 and follows Ross as he dates 22 young women living in the Utah County area in the hopes of finding "the one" — or at least someone pretty close.
Like ABC's "The Bachelor," "The Bachelor of Provo" includes group dates, individual dates, rose ceremonies and eliminations, but unlike "The Bachelor," there's less drama, no fantasy suite and no consistent release schedule for now, as producers have to juggle the schedules of nearly three dozen volunteers and participants to make the show happen. It's also not likely that there will be a proposal at the end.
'It's really exploded'
"The goal is to have fun and maybe get a girlfriend," Ross said. "I don't think I'll get married because of this."
There aren't many rules for "The Bachelor of Provo" cast to follow — for example, Ross and the girls can see each other off set and date other people if they want to — and the show is not scripted. According to contestants McKenna Wright, 23, and Annali Crandall, 19, the female participants are instead given prompts by producers and come up with their own ideas of what to say to make each episode more interesting, including lighthearted taunts.
"It's like nice, playful drama," Crandall said. "None of it is actually being rude at another girl."
Since its premiere, the show has gotten over 130,000 views and become a bit of a cultural phenomenon at BYU and beyond, inspiring "Bachelor of Provo" recap videos, parodies and watch parties. Local businesses have also been quick to offer support and sponsor dates for the show.
"We never thought it would be this big, maybe 1,000 or 2,000 views," Ross said. "It's really exploded."
The creators of the show call it "the cringe felt 'round the world," and most social media users agree: it is awkward.
I've seen a lot of cringey shows in my life, and The Bachelor of Provo is right up there with the worst of them.
— chipper (@chupppppp) January 15, 2019
I refuse to believe that Bachelor of Provo is legit. It's just bad acting, right??
— Tyler Staten (@tyler_staten) January 16, 2019
Bachelor of Provo is the most awkward thing I've ever seen. I can't stop watching. Anyone else seen this?! #bachelorofprovo #Trainwreck
— Sean Moysh (@moysh13) January 16, 2019
The third worst part of Bachelor of Provo is that it exists, the second worst part is Collin's RM open-mouth smile and speaking cadence, and the worst part is that I'm watching it.
— Seth (@sthmrrll) January 17, 2019
Ross admits that he's not very outgoing or comfortable on-screen, which sometimes comes across in the filming. Still, that awkwardness and discomfort are part of the charm for many viewers.
Show fan Jared Hansen, a PhD student at the University of Oregon, said that for him and his wife the show is a "fun to escape back to what it was like being in the Provo dating scene so many years ago.
"It's just so funny to us to witness their awkward flirting, made even more painful to watch because they're adjusting to the cameras," he said.
Alli Kenck, another fan of the show, considers it a train wreck that she can't look away from. "The BYU dating scene is mocked all the time, and I feel like this show is mocking it, but also doing something about it. I would love for it to be successful and become a typical thing," she said.
Cringe-worthy
Others aren't so keen on "The Bachelor of Provo." Common critiques of the show are that it's too cringe-worthy to be good and reinforces negative stereotypes about the dating culture in Provo and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' young single adult wards.
"I don't really care for recreating a show based on the idea of a proposal at the end in a culture that is well-known for fast, ill-planned proposals and marriages," said show viewer Ashley Leiva, a student at Utah Valley University. "Not that I think Colin will actually get engaged at the end, but I think with this group of young people it's dangerous to put them in that position and mindset."
Kevin Jessop, The Bachelor of Provo
A still from "The Bachelor of Provo" episode three.
Although she's heard several comments similar to Leiva's, Crandall said she's not ready to get married and the show isn't really about that anyway.
"It's just trying to get know someone," Crandall said. "We're not looking for the eternal companion."
Wright agrees, adding that the show was never meant to be commentary on dating but something fun to watch. "For those people who are like, 'Oh, it could be more professional, or it could be done better,' we know that. We went into it to explore and figure it out together, and it's been really rewarding in terms of relationships and experiences."
'It's whatever you want it to be'
"The Bachelor of Provo" team has largely embraced the show's reputation for being awkward, but the question still remains: How seriously should viewers take this show?
According to Butler and Carson Bown, co-director and filmmaker for the show, their crew is serious about getting Ross a girlfriend and serious about putting the show together, but the show itself is mostly for fun.
"In my opinion, it's whatever you want it to be," Bown said. "If you want it to be serious, take it seriously. If you want to just laugh at it, then yeah. We're laughing it at it too."
Crandall said that while some of the girls on the show are just there to have fun, others have real interest in Ross, including herself.
"I honestly think I'm into him," Crandall said. "At this point I'm trying to stay on the show just because I want to get him know him better, and I want to see if he's actually interested."
Ross thinks it could go somewhere with some of the contestants, too.
"Honestly, they're all great girls," Ross said. "There definitely are a few, though, that I've had my eye on."
The third episode of "The Bachelor of Provo" is set to release on Feb. 13.
Due to the success of the "The Bachelor of Provo," Butler and Bown have begun planning "The Bachelorette of Provo," which will follow a format similar to the current show and is scheduled to start filming this summer. Information and updates can be found on the show's Instagram account.
Dating isn't the only thing on the show's creators' minds. In addition to "The Bachelorette of Provo,'" Bown's team is also working on future projects, including work with a charity to raise money for a family in need.
"When we started, we didn't think (the show) was really going to take off," Bown said, "but we thought, 'Hey, it will hopefully open up other doors for us, other projects we want to work on.'"
And for the bachelor himself, the experience, while at times even more awkward for him than for the show's viewers, is one Ross is committed to.
"It's definitely way bigger than I thought ever," he said. "It's just funny to see how people are responding to it — lots of good stuff, lots of bad stuff. … We're not getting bummed out by the mean comments. We're just going to keep going with it no matter what. We're kind of too far in right now to stop."

When your Toshiba Satellite laptop is not functioning correctly, there are some simple troubleshooting steps you can take. However, once those steps are exhausted, the best solution may be to delete everything and start over. If your system frequently crashes or you can't remove a specific virus, you may want to restore the laptop back to original factory settings. While the easiest way to restore the system is to use the operating system restore disc, it is possible to restore the system without it. Each Satellite laptop also includes a hard drive recovery utility that lets you restore the operating system.
Transfer any personal data on the computer to a external storage device such as a CD, external hard drive or flash drive.
Restart the Toshiba Satellite laptop and wait for the Toshiba logo to appear on the screen.
Press the key that brings up the hard drive disk utility menu. Depending on the specific model of your Toshiba Satellite laptop, the key will either be "0," "F1" or "F8."
Press "1" or click "Restore Original Factory Image." Click "Yes." Select "Next" to begin the restoration process.
Restart the Toshiba laptop when the restoration process finishes. Follow the prompts that appear on the screen to set up the laptop's date, time and language settings.
Transfer the data you saved earlier back to the laptop's hard drive. Install any programs you need, such as your software firewall or antivirus program.
The hard drive restore utility is saved on a separate partition on the Toshiba laptop's hard drive. If that partition has been formatted you won't be able to use the restore utility. If you don't have the operating system recovery disc and the partition has been formatted, you will need to contact Toshiba's customer support to have them send you a new disc.
All of your personal data will be permanently removed from the hard drive when the factory restore process has finished running.

North Stars pound Kirkland Lake

As his team's first-round playoff series shifts sites, Sault North Stars head coach Mike Hall has one main message for his players.
"Keep your mouths closed and try to finish the series without any injuries or suspensions," said Hall, whose club opened a best-of-five, Great North Midget League quarter-final series with a pair of one-sided weekend victories.
The Sault defeated the Kirkland Lake Legion 87's 19-0 Saturday and 14-1 Sunday at John Rhodes Community Centre.
Game 3 is set for Sunday night in Kirkland Lake.
"It's unfortunate, but the scores weren't unexpected," said Hall, whose club finished first in the eight-team loop with a record of 32-1-0-1 (wins, losses, overtime losses).
The Legion 87's wound up in the cellar with a 2-32-0-0 mark.
"It's not a good situation for either team," Hall added. "For the most part, we played the right way this weekend. And you have to feel for both of their goalies who saw a lot of shots."
Anthony Stefano and Ryan Vendramin did much of the damage Saturday.
Stefano notched four goals and two assists while Vendramin scored three times and helped set up five others.
Jaren Bellini added three goals and two assists while Cody Caron scored twice and helped set up three more.
Matt Mitchell and Nick Trecroce finished with two goals and one assist each, while Devin Shell contributed a goal and five assists. Matt Pinder scored once and set up three others while Jaron Rowe finished with a goal and an assist. Brian Kment posted the shutout.
On Sunday, both Vendramin and Bellini had two goals and three assists, while Caron and Pinder each scored twice and set up another.
Stefano added a goal and four assists while Shell, Trecroce and Jack MacLeod all contributed a goal and two assists.
Mitchell and Brandon Grandinetti rounded out the scoring while Kaelan O'Flynn finished with four assists in front of netminder Jacob Kment.

HBT (Hetrojunction Bipolar Transistors) technologies are used in Micro Mobio's integrated power amplifiers. It is a bipolar transistor constructed with a hetrojunction made of such as InGaP/GaAs or SiGe at the junctions. This bandgap engineering creates a potential barrier, which allows heavy doping concentration without sacrificing the current gain, increasing the power gain and switching speed of the device.


The most frequently asked question by a Mother of the Bride is "What color should I wear?" Choosing the right color is stressful and scary. There are many things that need to be taken into consideration such as the time of year, the formality of the event, how the color photographs, the color of the bridesmaids dresses and the color of the wedding flowers, not to mention what looks good on you. How can you be certain that you are choosing the right color?
Etiquette dictates you should probably stay away from white or ivory (you donapostrophet want anyone to think you are trying to steal attention away from the bride!), but other than that, there arenapostrophet any right or wrong colors to wear to a wedding. Even "taboo" colors like black and red have their place. Black may be the only plausible option for a popular black-and-white themed wedding, and red can be a beautiful shade in the fall and winter. As long as the color complements the wedding colors, youapostrophere o.k.
The easiest way to get it right is to choose a Mother of the Bride dress in a color that coordinates with the color of the bridesmaidsapostrophe dresses. Notice we are saying coordinates, not matches. Matching is far too difficult to pull off. Why? Because, if the shade of peach you pick to match with the bridesmaidsapostrophe dresses ends up being just a little more orange, youapostrophell clash completely! Besides, who wants to end up looking like one of the bridesmaids, anyway?
One option is to wear a mother of the bride dress in the same general color family as the bridesmaids. This is a classy way to coordinate, but still be a little different. For example, if the bridesmaids are in lavender, the Mother of the Bride is in eggplant.
Another idea is to choose a Mother of the Bride dress in a color that is directly opposite on the color wheel to the bridesmaidsapostrophe dresses. Youapostrophell definitely stand out, but the bridesmaids will still look great next to you in pictures. For example, the bridesmaids might be in orange and the Mother of the Bride in blue.
You could also wear a color in the same color palette as the bridesmaidsapostrophe dresses. For a seasonally themed wedding, this can nicely pick up different aspects of the season, and look very classy. Bridesmaids may be in pastel blue and mom can be in soft, butter yellow.
Wear a patterned Mother of the Bride dress with a color in it that echoes the bridal colors. This adds some personality to the bridal party and pictures. For instance, if the bridesmaids wear pink, the mother of the bride can be in pink and green watercolor wash.
When in doubt, neutrals go with everything! Just be careful to get a more saturated color so it doesnapostrophet wash you out. For example, if the bridesmaids are in chartreuse with magenta sashes and fuchsia bouquets, the Mother of the Bride can still wear a dark, silvery gray.
Of course, you can always take the bride with you for a second opinion! She will certainly have a vision in mind as to how she wants her day to look, and will probably be the best person to go to for advice. With this in mind, picking out a color to go with the bridal party will be a cinch. Now what about the style? We have many more tips to make sure you look fabulous and appropriate at your daughter or sonapostrophes wedding.
Donapostrophet be surprised if you overhear them say "Oooh, I love her outfit. Itapostrophes just so her!"

Poco X3 review: The typical mid-range smartphone

Poco X3 review: Not long ago, Poco appeared to be the next disruptor in the Indian smartphone market with the Poco F1 emerging as the new threat to affordable-premium and premium smartphones. Instead of building on the success of the first Poco smartphone, the company took a long break, before returning to the scene with an all new market strategy. Initially, Poco seemed like Xiaomi's answer to OnePlus. Now, it is challenging Realme, at best.
The company has unveiled three smartphones this year – Poco X2, Poco M2 and Poco X3 – all positioned in budget and mid-range segments. And, that's not only with the price but also in terms of specs on offer. Recently, there has been a major change in company leadership and it will be interesting to see if that also leads to a change in market strategy.
For now, we have the Poco X3, launched in September. Priced at Rs 16,999, the smartphone is world's first to be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 732G SoC, where G obviously stands for better gaming performance. There are a few things to admire about this smartphone while others leave you a bit confused. Let's run through all of them in our review of the Poco X3.
Poco X3 review: Design
This is one of the few smartphones that is likely to trigger a lot of arguments around its design. To call Poco X3 bulky would be an understatement. Let's just say, if dumbbells are out of stock, you can opt for the Poco X3 instead! The smartphone measures over 10mm and weighs around 225 grams. You can feel the weight while holding the phone and using it on a daily basis.
[[{"fid":"130563″,"view_mode":"default","type":"media","attributes":{"alt":"Poco X3 review","title":"Poco X3 review","height":480,"width":850,"class":"media-element file-default"},"link_text":null}]]
Those accustomed to using more compact smartphones are likely to have a tough time adjusting to the Poco X3. On the flip side, the extra weight and bulkier body makes the smartphone sturdier. It should also add to the longevity of the phone even with rough usage.
The back panel is made up of polycarbonate and has a thick etched strip in the middle. There is a massive Poco branding at the bottom, which could have been smaller. The cameras are placed in a new circular camera module – something similar to what we had seen on the OnePlus 7T last year.
The volume and power buttons are on the right. The second also doubles up as the fingerprint scanner. At the bottom, you get the 3.5mm headphone jack, Type-C USB port and a speaker grill. On the top are the IR blaster and a large earpiece grille.
The back panel is a bit slippery, which forced me to use the Poco X3 mostly with a case.
As I said before, this design will be received differently by different users. Those who want a refreshing look, are likely to appreciate it. The more traditional users, will feel polarized. And, those who prefer compact devices, will surely look at other options.
Poco X3 review: Display
Poco continues to bet big on the display. The smartphone comes with a 120Hz panel which we also saw on the Poco X2. It is one of the few smartphones to offer this refresh rate in this segment. However, how useful is higher refresh rate on a mid-range smartphone remains debatable.
The Poco X3 features a big 6.67-inch LCD panel with full HD+ resolution. The screen size is apt for streaming content or gaming. It delivers a smooth transition between apps and pages. The higher frame rates are also visible while gaming. Poco has also used a 240Hz touch response on the phone which again makes a difference in your day-to-day usage.
The colour reproduction of the display is pretty good as well. The screen is vibrant, sharp and feels almost as good as an OLED display. There is also an option to customise the colour scheme to lower saturation levels or different temperature.
The only issue here is with the peak brightness of 450 nits. Even inside the house, you can feel that the display isn't too bright at highest level and it becomes a problem under direct sunlight.
At the center of the display, you get a single hole punch selfie shooter unlike the dual camera setup on the Poco X2. The hole is not big but not too small either. There are times when it can interfere with your viewing experience.
Poco X3 review: Performance
As mentioned before, the smartphone is powered by Qualcomm's new Snapdragon 732G chipset. The 8nm octa-core chipset claims a frequency up to 2.3GHz and is paired with an Adreno 618 GPU. The chipset makes its debut with the Poco X3 and as per Qualcomm offers "an additional 15% graphics boost over Snapdragon 730 for a more powerful gaming experience."
The performance is as good as you can expect in this segment. The smartphone is really smooth, be it daily tasks like making calls, sending emails, exchanging messages or running high-end gaming titles.
Gaming on Poco X3 was fun. You can play heavy-titles like Call of Duty: Mobile or Top Speed on high frame rates, without worrying about frequent drops. The gaming experience is also enhanced by the stereo speakers that produce good audio output.
The smartphone is available in three variants. The base variant is priced at Rs 16,999 and has 6GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. The 6GB + 128GB variant is priced at Rs 18,499 while the top variant with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage will set you back by Rs 19,999.
My only concern here is that despite all the great things, the Poco X3 doesn't feel as disruptive as the Poco F1 which gave a tough competition to most premium smartphones of that time. On that front, Poco could have done better.
The Poco X3 runs on Poco Launcher based on MIUI 12 atop Android 10. It will feel familiar if you have used a Poco or Xiaomi smartphone in the past. There are plenty of options to customize the user experience. Also, there are several pre-installed apps, most of which you may want to remove.
Poco X3 review: Camera
The camera specs are very similar to the Poco X2, with a change in the ultra-wide-angle lens. The Poco X3 uses a 64-megapixel sensor with f/1.9 lens, a 13-megapixel ultra-wide sensor with f/2.2 lens, a 2-megapixel macro lens and a 2-megapixel depth camera.
The combination helps you cover most aspects of smartphone photography with good results. The primary camera tries to preserve most details in good light conditions. The images are sharp and crisp. The saturation, however, is on the higher side.
The dynamic range was also pretty good, on the main camera as well as the ultra-wide-angle lens.
The macro lens, as always, will need super steady hands and great photography skills to make the best use of. The portrait mode is very efficient as well.
For videos, you have support for 1080p shooting at 60fps, and 4K videos at 30fps. The front camera is of 20-megapixels which lets you capture decent selfies.
Poco X3 review: Battery
One of the reasons for the bulkier body of the Poco X3 is the massive 6000 mAh battery it packs. There are a few Samsung smartphones in the same range which pack the same brick and easily run for 30 to 36 hours. With Poco X3, the things are a slightly different. A combination of higher refresh rate and new chipset drains the phone faster. Yet, you can expect the Poco X3 to last around a day.
Out of the box, it supports 33W MMT charging. It takes about 100 to 120 minutes to charge the phone from 0 to 100 per cent.
Poco X3 review: Should you buy?
Unlike the Poco F1, this one isn't a clear winner. Yes, the phone excels in several departments like a smooth display, big battery and decent performance. But, there are several other smartphones in the segment that are equally good. At this price, the Poco X3 competes against the Samsung Galaxy M31s, Realme 7 Pro, Narzo 20 Pro, Redmi Note 9 Pro Max and even the Poco X2. The only major advantage here is the 120Hz display.
The things you seriously need to consider are the weight and size of the smartphone. Overall, the Poco X3 is a typical mid-range with something to offer in most departments but nothing exceptional in any.
