Unger to start at center
Jim Mora promised changes on the offensive line after Sunday's loss to the Texans, and again on Monday. Today, he announced them:
Rookie Max Unger will start at center in Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Qwest Field. Unger has started the first 13 games at right guard.
To replace Unger, Chris Spencer and Mike Gibson will split time at right guard. Spencer has been starting at center, but doing it with a cast on his right hand the past five games, forcing him to snap with his left hand. Gibson was signed off the Philadelphia Eagles' practice squad in October, but has been inactive for the six games since coming to the Seahawks.
In another move, Deion Branch will start at split end for Nate Burleson, who got a high ankle sprain in Sunday's loss and will not play this week. Rookie Deon Butler becomes the No. 3 receivers, with Ben Obomanu stepping up to the fourth spot.
The Seahawks drafted Unger out of Oregon to play center. Mora and his staff decided it was time to see him do it now rather than waiting until the preseason next August. Unger did play center in the second halves of preseason games this summer.
Mora said Unger was "excited" about the move and spent Tuesday working with line coach Mike Solari on making line calls and watching video.

7 Metro Detroit seafood places to try just in time for Lent
Hazel's in Birmingham (Michelle Oliver, Copyright 2022 by WDIV ClickOnDetroit - All rights reserved.)
This past Tuesday was Mardi Gras, which means this Friday is the first Friday in Lent. During this time of year, many like to forgo the meat and opt for delicious fish and seafood instead. So I thought I would round up some of the great seafood places in Metro Detroit to see what catches your eye.
Scotty Simpson (Copyright 2022 by WDIV ClickOnDetroit - All rights reserved.)
Scotty Simpson's Fish and Chips - 22200 Fenkell Ave, Detroit, MI 48223
If you are craving classic fish and chips, there is no place better than Scotty Simpsons. It's been a favorite in Detroit since the 1950s. The original owner was from Scotland, hence the nickname Scotty, and wanted to bring the authentic taste of British Isle fish and chips to Michigan. The current owner Harold Barber has worked there since he was a teen and has kept the same recipe. The star is the fried cod, but they also have perch, shrimp, and frog legs. For the full story, click or tap here.
H2O Seafood in Wyandotte for Dine In The D (Copyright 2021 by WDIV ClickOnDetroit - All rights reserved.)
H2O Seafood - 3233 Biddle Ave, Wyandotte, MI 48192
Whether you love dousing lobster tails in butter, or you want a sophisticated fish dish, if it comes from the water, they are serving it up at H2O Seafood. They wanted to blend Key West vibes with Michigan tastes, taking classic seafood dishes and giving them a twist. The Chilean Sea Bass, for example, is lightly coated in panko bread crumbs and morel mushrooms, a Michigan favorite. Michigan fish like walleye are on the menu as well, but you can also get blackened grouper and shrimp. For the full story click here.
Pearl's Deep Dive - Instagram (@pearlsdeepdive) (Copyright 2022 by WDIV ClickOnDetroit - All rights reserved.)
Pearl's Deep Dive - 100 S Main St, Royal Oak, MI 48067
This chic spot is the newest on the list, just opening up last December. It's owned by the same restaurant group that brought you Diamonds Steak and Seafood, and Pinky's Rooftop Bar. Their menu has a variety of oyster dishes, including Oysters Rockefeller, as well as other treats from the sea including caviar, lobster, scallops, and crab. There is also a wagyu steak if you want to stick to what roams on land. Make sure to save room for dessert. Their Mom's Famous Carrot Cake is famous for a reason.
Noble Fish by @thedanijaeI on Instagram (Copyright 2022 by Noble Fish - All rights reserved.)
Noble Fish - 45 14 Mile Rd, Clawson, MI 48017
This is my personal favorite spot to get sushi, and I am by far not the only one in on this secret. This place is always packed! It is located inside a Japanese market in Clawson. It used to be small and tucked away in the back, but in the last few years, they expanded their restaurant and seating area. Right now, they are focused more on takeout due to the pandemic, and if you want to order from them, do it earlier in the day. They sometimes get so busy they stop taking orders around 4 PM. Don't worry though, you can always stop by and pick up some of their most popular rolls in their grocery section. Here's how you can order online.
From @Voyager_Ferndale on Instagram (Copyright 2022 by Voyager - All rights reserved.)
Voyager - 600 Vester St, Ferndale, MI 48220
Calling all fans of shellfish, this place is for you! They have Dungeness crab, peel and eat shrimp, seared scallops, and whole lobster tails. As their website says, it's a "seasonal menu fit for the coast with drinks to match." Currently, they have a slight Italian twist to some of the menu items, serving up cioppino, or an Italian fish stew, and roasted conch gnocchi.
Oak And Reel (From their Instagram) (Copyright 2022 by Oak and Reel - All rights reserved.)
Oak and Reel - 2921 E Grand Blvd, Detroit, MI 48202
Imagine sitting on the coast of Italy, the warm sea breeze in your hair and a plate of squid ink pasta topped with fresh shrimp and crab, with fine herbs sprinkled over top. That's the vibe Oak and Reel is going for. They blend Italian cooking and local ingredients with seafood from around the world to create their menu. Executive Chef and Owner, Jared Gadbaw, grew up in Garden City, but then left to go to New York where he earned two Michelin Stars at the restaurant Marea. Now he has brought his skills to the D.
Sindbad's - 100 St Clair St, Detroit, MI 48214
With views of the Detroit River, this longtime Detroit restaurant is a favorite for a reason. Opening in 1949, it has only grown and expanded over the years. They specialize in local fish with perch and walleye (or pickerel) on the menu. They also have other dishes from the sea including fried shrimp, Alaskan King Crab Legs, sea scallops, and frog legs. I did a story on them a while back, you can see it here.

Q: What is the most elegant way to remove an array of properties from an object immutably in JavaScript? Not sure if I'm trying to accomplish too much here in an elegant way, but let's say I have an object as follows:
const obj = { foo: 'bar', prop: 'str', hi: 'hello' };

And then I have an array of properties I want to remove from that object:
const keys = ['prop', 'hi'];

I'm looking for the best way I can immutably get an output of:
{ foo: 'bar' }

I was looking into using destructuring assignments but I couldn't figure out how to make it work with an array of properties unless it has a static length:
({ [keys[0]]: value, [keys[1]]: value, ...output }) = o;

Maybe there's an alternative way to do the above line but using mapping?
Thanks!

A: You could iterate the array and use delete to delete each matching keys.
To make a copy of the object you have you could use the spread operator

const keys = ['prop', 'hi'];
const obj = { foo: 'bar', prop: 'str', hi: 'hello' };
const newobj={...obj}
keys.forEach(o=> delete newobj[o])
console.log(obj)
console.log(newobj)

Here is another approach using Object.fromEntries and filter, some

const keys = ['prop', 'hi'];
const obj = { foo: 'bar', prop: 'str', hi: 'hello' };
res=Object.fromEntries(Object.entries(obj).filter(o=>!keys.some(k=>o[0]==k)))
console.log(res)
console.log(obj)

A: I would use a combination of the Object.fromEntries, Object.entries, and the Array .filter methods. Then this operation becomes quite straightforward:

function removeKeysFromObj(obj, keys) {
  return Object.fromEntries(Object.entries(obj).filter(([key]) => !keys.includes(key)));
}

const obj = { foo: 'bar', prop: 'str', hi: 'hello' };
const keys = ['prop', 'hi'];

const newObj = removeKeysFromObj(obj, keys);

console.log("New object:", newObj);

// And note the original is unmodified:
console.log("Original object:", obj);

A: One way to approach this is to think in the reverse way: map over the keys in the original object and keep the ones not in the list:
function removeKeys(obj, keys) {
    return Object.keys(obj)
        .filter(k => !keys.includes(k))
        .reduce((newObj, k) => {
            newObj[k] = obj[k];
            return newObj
        }, {});

A: I'd do it like this.

const obj = { foo: 'bar', prop: 'str', hi: 'hello' };
const keys = ['prop', 'hi'];
let result = Object.keys(obj).reduce((current, item) => (keys.includes(item) || (current[item] = obj[item]), current), {});
console.log(result);

FALSIFYING TAX RETURNS PUTS FORMER REALITY STAR IN A STICKY 'SITUATION'
Posted on July 4, 2017 June 29, 2017 by Greg
Love it or hate it, reality TV is a significant part of our entertainment culture. Some reality stars achieve celebrity status, while others are quickly forgotten the moment their show is cancelled. In the case of Michael "The Situation" Sorrentino, from MTV's "Jersey Shore," we bet he wishes he'd been one of the forgotten, at least by the IRS.
In 2014, Michael Sorrentino and his brother Marc Sorrentino were indicted for tax offenses, including conspiracy, filing false tax returns, and failing to file tax returns between 2010 and 2012. During this time, "Jersey Shore" was airing, and Michael earned a reported $150,000 per episode of the series' three-season run, which amassed to a total of $8.9 million. This past April, a superseding indictment returned with additional charges against the brothers.
Banking on Michael's reality-TV fame, the Sorrentino brothers opened a number of businesses, including Situation Nation Inc. and MPS Entertainment LLC. When filing taxes for their companies, the charges state Michael and Marc would claim fraudulent business deductions, underreport net business income, disguise income payment, and understate gross receipts. Additionally, to avoid triggering banks' reporting requirements on deposits of over $10,000, Michael would make several cash deposits of amounts less than $10,000 on the same day to different bank accounts. Marc Sorrentino is also accused of altering record books that had been subpoenaed by a grand jury.
Michael and Marc both pled not guilty to these charges. The press release from the IRS states that, if convicted, the brothers both face a statutory maximum sentence of five years in prison for conspiracy and three years for each count of "aiding in the preparation of false tax returns." Marc also faces a potential 20-year sentence for obstruction, while Michael himself could serve an additional 10 years for each structuring count and five years for tax evasions.
Someone should have told "The Situation" that while reality TV might be fake, the repercussions of trying to deceive the IRS are very Real.

Pokemon Shining Pearl (Switch)
By Felix Walton December 20, 2021
Last month, The Pokemon Company continued its tradition of remaking earlier Pokemon games with Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. Fifteen years after their original release, these remakes of Pokemon's fourth generation seek to catch the zoomer nostalgia wave and re-establish the Sinnoh region ahead of Pokemon Legends: Arceus. But do these highly anticipated remakes live up to the originals, and were those originals even worth revisiting in the first place?
Central to discussion of Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are the unique conditions of their development, namely The Pokemon Company's decision to outsource these entries to studio ILCA as their first non-supporting project. This makes BDSP (as I'll call them from now on) the first "mainline" Pokemon games to be created without Game Freak's involvement.
I put the words "mainline" in quotes because this new approach to BDSP, and Game Freak's new focus on Pokemon Legends: Arceus, suggest that Pokemon's taken-for-granted generational remakes may be sidelined as the series moves forward. The transition from Nintendo 3DS to the exponentially beefier Nintendo Switch has left Pokemon in a state of uncertainty. Don't get me wrong,the Pokemon series isn't going anywhere, but higher development costs have necessitated a shift in ideology – and BDSP is the result.
It gives me no pleasure to report that BDSP is a shockingly unimpressive remake, especially for one funded by the world's most successful multimedia franchise. The Pokemon Company is rolling in cash, and yet this fourth remake (which has been on the cards since the previous remakes released seven years ago) feels unceremoniously rushed and astonishingly cheap.
While previous Game Freak developed remakes iterated on the current generation's features and ironed out mechanical shortcomings, BDSP walks back all of Sword and Shield's best additions and does little to justify its own existence. Some fans may appreciate ILCA's decision to remain "faithful," but my experience with BDSP shattered any illusions I had about the originals.
This may be controversial, but Diamond and Pearl might not have been very good Pokemon games to begin with.
Sinnoh is Pokemon's fourth region to be inspired by Japan, and does little to differentiate itself from Kanto and the comparatively diverse Johto and Hoenn. Its most striking geographical feature, Mount Coronet, is a colossal mountain that dominates the skyline – and yet Diamond and Pearl, and now their remakes, are from a top-down perspective.
The result is, I'd argue, Pokemon's least interesting region to date. Thankfully, Pokemon Legends: Arceus seeks to remedy this very concern with its 3D perspective and grand vistas. Until that game releases, however, my interest in Sinnoh is as flat as its "mountains."
BDSP also fails to address one of Diamond and Pearl's oldest sticking points, the lack of overworld Pokemon. On paper, Sinnoh's roster of 151 monsters give it parity with the first generation, but the lack of type-variety and overrepresentation of certain Pokemon within early areas make the practice of team-building, the series' bread and butter, a real hassle.
Certain types such as fire and electric are limited to only a couple of monsters each, whilst others have massive power disparities that strongly favour one Pokemon over the rest. This causes most end-of-game teams to look eerily similar, and strips the adventure of its individualism.
With that said, BDSP does expand the roster of catchable Pokemon through the addition of The Grand Underground. This expansion to Diamond and Pearl's cave system gives players access to mining and, more importantly, a number of Pokemon that can't be caught above ground. Through this system I was able to catch Houndoom, which fulfilled my need for a fire-type without needing to pick Chimchar as my starter. It's a bandaid solution, but at least it's there.
More perplexing, though, is the decision to cut Pokemon that were previously added to the overworld through Pokemon Platinum (Diamond and Pearl's souped-up rerelease). For the most part, this problem was already solved by Platinum, and the decision to ignore these additions just doesn't make sense. It communicates a lack of concern for making BDSP the definitive version of Pokemon's fourth generation, barely reaching beyond the bare minimum.
I've been putting it off, but Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are just plain ugly. The decision to adopt a chibi art style was controversial from the jump, but what kills BDSP's art design is a lack of cohesion and ambition. Small details such as reflections and depth-of-field are appreciated and contribute greatly to the overall presentation but poor quality models, boring textures, and flat lighting make BDSP an ugly duckling within a franchise that is already criticised for its lack of fidelity.
In battles, trainers and Pokemon are given more realistic proportions (and likely share models with other recent entries in the series). In older games this transition feels natural, but the difference in art direction between ILCA's new chibi characters and Ken Sugimori's original style feels jarring. This is made worse with BDSP's implementation of Pokemon followers, who use their in-battle models on the overworld. Ultimately, these are two fundamentally different art styles and the lack of cohesion between them is unpleasant.
BDSP's saving grace is its battle system, which maintains all the improvements made between generations and is still a fantastic entry-level introduction to turn-based combat. Despite their many shortcomings I can at least say that Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are fun to play, but with other Pokemon games already on the Switch, and another to come in just over a month, there aren't a lot of compelling reasons to pick up this entry in particular.
Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl may be the weakest entries in the series yet, and it's a testament to the franchise's solid foundations that I liked them at all. Their cheap graphical presentation is salvaged by a combat system that, despite its lack of innovation, has been steadily refined over twenty-five years. Thankfully, there are two other Pokemon games on the Nintendo Switch, so you can play one of those instead.

Sri Lanka's terror abductions, arrests, summons mark Christmas Eve in Jaffna
[TamilNet, Wednesday, 26 December 2012 09:48 No Comment]
28-year-old Mrs Soundararajan Sivamalar, wife of an LTTE member killed in the war, and presently working at SL government's Uduvil divisional secretariat, was abducted at midnight at her house recently. Sri Lanka's Terrorist Investigation Department (TID) now informally acknowledged to the SL Human Rights Commission office in Jaffna that the 'arrest' was their act. Complaints of such abductions and 'arrests' of around 45 people have been registered in recent days at the SL human rights office in Jaffna, officials acknowledged on Monday. Many more abductions and arrests in the north have gone unregistered as the family members have been sternly warned by the occupying SL forces, not to register complaints at the SL human rights office. Meanwhile, many girl students of the Jaffna University have been 'summoned' over telephone by the TID in Vavuniyaa.
The summoning of the girl students of the University of Jaffna over the phone by the TID in Vavuniyaa now takes place directly, without any intimation to the university authorities.
Direct telephonic summoning of the university students has become an unchallenged and established practice now, following such a summon served to the President of the University Teachers' Association and Head of English Language Teaching Unit at the university, Mr K. Rajakumaran.
Many girl students have silently gone with their parents to Vavuniyaa to submit themselves to TID investigations.
TID at Vavuniyaa is run directly by SL Defence Secretary and presidential sibling Gotabhaya Rajapaksa.
Meanwhile, most of the abductions of Tamil youth in recent days that have gone unregistered, took place in midnights or at dusk times, news sources said.
Occupying Sri Lanka's Human Rights Commission's office in Jaffna nowadays don't encourage direct complaints of abductions coming to them, news sources in Jaffna further said.
The HR office tells the victim's family members to lodge complaint at SL police stations.
Since the very SL police is a party to the abductions and arrests, how to lodge the complaint with them, ask the family members of the victims.
Of all the outfits of the occupying Sinhala state, the Human Rights Commission office is the only one for civilians to approach in a civil manner. Even this outfit is now directed to openly play on the side of State's terrorism, public in Jaffna say. Some days ago, citing weekend, a threatened university student was prevented from surrendering at the HR office.
After the IC-India-UN abetted genocidal war, the Eezham Tamils are subjected to State terrorism of Sri Lanka, in various ways and at various stages to complete the genocide through structural means and through individual terrorisation of every member of the nation of Eezham Tamils. In fact the process got accelerated after the USA and India enacted a resolution sanctioning the LLRC process at the UNHRC, political observers in Jaffna said.
What's happening now through the terrorisation process of the public, students, women and the former LTTE activists, and through the political manoeuvring process of the TNA are not two separate phenomena, but are interconnected as preparatory grounds for the next rounds at Geneva in March, aiming at further engineering of the total subjugation and annihilation of the nation of Eezham Tamils, the observers commented.
All the forces that don't recognize the genocide, the nation of Eezham Tamils and its right to self-determination in the island are invariably parties to the crime of genocide through State terrorism that takes place now, the observers further said.
The terror campaign currently carried out especially against the released cadres of the LTTE, its former activists and even family members of them, is aimed at prodding them to join for safety with outfits and paramilitaries run by the genocidal government in collaboration with some of its international abetters, political observers in Jaffna suspect.
After the Indo-Lanka Accord of 1987 and the occupation of the country of Eezham Tamils by the 'Indian Peace Keeping Force', all the Tamil militant groups except the LTTE were made to renounce the independence aspiration of Eezham Tamils. The unquestioning support the LTTE gained from the people mainly came from its commitment and steadfastness to the cause.

(CS) The Luxembourg Young Scientists association is hosting its annual scientific competition, with a project fair and prizegiving ceremony on April 13 and 14.
Every year, the "Association Jeunes Scientifiques Luxembourg" (AJSL) invites aspiring scientists aged 11 to 21 to submit an original research project for its science competition.
The projects can be carried out in any subject, from natural sciences to literature, history, music or art. However, students need to carry out independent research, supported by AJSL staff and teachers who support the project.
The youngsters present their project, including an essay, to a professional jury, which will select winners in a series of different categories.
Winners in the past have gone on to represent Luxembourg at European and international science competitions for teenagers and young adults, as well as going on trips and receiving other sponsored prizes.
The public will be able to see what Luxembourg's bright young minds have cooked up at a science fair on April 13 from 2-6pm, with the official prizegiving ceremony on Sunday, April 14, at 11am.
Both events are free and take place at the Hall Victor Hugo in Limpertsberg.


Go On - Grow Some Grasses!
Ornamental grasses are wonderful foliage plants, and I've been growing them for ages. And so I should be - New Zealand has some wonderful smaller tussock grasses in its natural spaces, as well as larger specimen grasses with wonderful seed heads.
Tussock and scree gardens became horribly popular for urban lazy-bones gardeners in the 1980s. Those of us with souls refused to be so small-minded and sterile, having just discovered the fluffy English Cottage garden look. Now (in 2010) rounded river stones have become the garden designer's plaything, providing such an easy (and unimaginative?) textural contrast for grasses. Large tussock swathes in round river stones are now de rigeur for local council landscaping, road frontages of new country houses, and front yard in town apartments.
New Zealand is a naturally grassy country anyway. Several native Carex varieties come and go in my garden - shining rusty reds, dead-looking browns, and golden yellows. I am well provided with Carex offspring - particularly in my vegetable garden where a long stalked brown tussock is a particularly keen parent. How terribly useful!
In late summer, seed heads of the New Zealand native Anemanthele lessoniana (a fountain shaped larger grass) drape themselves like strands of a million cobwebs. The look is quite magical, particularly when there's been a morning dew. I grow a lot of this grass, preferring to plant it in gentle curves. There are always plenty of self-sown seedlings to pot up for the next big planting plan, too.
A special small grass which grows in my garden and always grabs my attention in spring is Bowles Golden Grass. Seedlings pop up here and there, but it's never been a nuisance. I bought one pot of it for fifty cents at a nursery sale years ago.
Other ornamental non-native grasses I've bought from nurseries include different varieties of Miscanthus and Calamagrostis. One grass that I'm not allowed to grow is Pennisetum, so naturally I think it is the most incredibly beautiful plant in the gardening world, and I want some. It's definitely a case of 'The grass is greener...' (or more purple, in the case of Pennisetum).
Finally, a word for the colour conscious. Grasses are definitely not just green. You'll find a huge range of shades - golds, russets, cool blues, rich tans and browns, even rose pinks and reds. Grasses are wonderful foliage plants - go on! Grow some!


Not everyone has a green thumb, but ask any Landscape design expert and he or she will tell you that there's always hope! This hope comes in the form of native plants. Native plants are those that naturally thrive in your area, like in the wilderness, without any human intervention.
Because these plants have adapted to the local conditions, they make a beautiful, rugged, weather-resistant landscaping alternative.
Simpler to maintain: Because the plants are in their natural environment, they're simpler to care for. They require less of your time, and less pruning and fewer fertilizers than common garden plants.
Save water: Most native plants do not need more water than the normal rainfall provides, which helps conserve H2O and money.
Fewer chemicals: Native plants naturally resist the pests in the area, so you don't need to use pesticides in your garden.
Attract wildlife: Native plants attract the local wildlife to your garden, including butterflies, hummingbirds and beneficial insects.
The law: It may be illegal in your state to collect native plants from public lands, like state or national parks, without a permit. When this is the case, acquire the plants from local nurseries, a native-plant society sale, a city planner's office or a botanical garden.
Use areas of your landscape that stay cool for plants that prefer moist soil.
Use warmer areas of your property for plants that prefer drier soils.
Space the plants according to their potential growth.
Plant trees on the south and west sides of your property to help keep your home cooler during the summer.
Choose plants that best suit your garden instead of modifying your garden to suit a plant.
Soil: You may learn that the native species in your area do well and live longer without any soil amendments. Consult with a landscape design expert to learn more about the mulching and feeding needs of the native plants in your garden.
Variety: Add plants to a landscape design that flower throughout the seasons. Some of the most enjoyable are those that are colorful, aromatic and/or attract wildlife.
Pruning: While native plants are simple to maintain, they may need occasional pruning to keep them tame, prevent crowding and discourage overgrowth.

I can't tell you how much you have changed my life! I was depressed and had so much pain in my life that I didn't know where to turn.
I saw several doctors and they all told me they couldn't do anything for me except make me dentures. You were the first dentist to "listen" to me.
You not only gave me all of my options but you came to all of my surgeries. I feel like I have my life back. I can eat and chew without pain and I can smile all the time–without pain!

Indian Motorcycles Makes Comeback with New 2013 Models
This entry was posted in Biker Lifestyle Motorcycle Industry on March 3, 2013 by Bikers Den
With Indian Motorcycle's conception in 1901, it began with a commitment to speed and distance. Over time, the company focused on providing an unrivaled product for American bikers. However, after World War II, the company struggled and ceased production of their products in 1953. It was believed that Indian Motorcycles was now history, and no longer available or successful in the public market.
Thankfully, the company was bought out in 2011 by Polaris, which has been focused on breathing new life into this legendary motorcycle brand, and built upon the company's original focus to create a historical icon, premium products, and maintain the American heritage so closely connected with Indian Motorcycles.
With the reinvention of Indian Motorcycle, Polaris has decided to create a few new models, while also picking up the look, style, and beauty of some of the vintage bikes from the 1940's. The Indian Chief line of motorcycles include the Vintage FE, Vintage LE, Vintage, Dark Horse, and the Classic. All of these are similar to the previous versions of Indian Motorcycle brands, but updated to turn heads and allow bikers to enjoy a part of history.
While many collectors and motorcycle enthusiasts strive to own one of the original models of Indian Motorcycles, others are happy to see a brand new line-up that encompasses the beauty and precision that the past bikes were built upon. The 2013 Indian Chief lineup is a sight to see, and a wonderful way to enjoy a new motorcycle with a touch of history and vintage flair.

Gas metal arc welding (GMAW), sometimes referred to by its subtypes metal inert gas (MIG) welding or metal active gas (MAG) welding, is a welding process in which an electric arc forms between a consumable wire electrode and the workpiece metal(s), which heats the workpiece metal(s), causing them to melt, and join.
There are three basic types of bending on a press brake, each is defined by the relationship of the end tool position to the thickness of the material. These three are Air Bending, Bottoming and Coining. The configuration of the tools for these three types of bending are nearly identical. A die with a long rail form tool with a radiused tip that locates the inside profile of the bend is called a punch.
Drilling is a cutting process that uses a drill bit to cut or enlarge a hole of circular cross-section in solid materials. The drill bit is a rotary cutting tool, often multipoint. The bit ispressed against the workpiece and rotated at rates from hundreds to thousands of revolutions per minute.

REMARKABLE progress is being made toward a new nonracial political structure in South Africa. If the proposed five-year transition government is established, and a constitutional convention is convened, that nation may solve some of its bitter divisions. If so, much of the credit goes to President Frederik de Klerk for his courageous decision in 1990 to begin talking with the traditional enemy of the South African whites, the African National Congress (ANC).
President De Klerk's decision followed a pattern in which dominant powers initially oppose groups that have support among a suppressed majority. Those in power hoped to find or create more malleable organizations with which to deal - only to conclude no alternative to dealing with "the enemy" exists.
In Algeria, before independence, France supported a proclaimed Algerian nationalist group under Messali Haj as a counter to the National Liberation Front (FLN). But France finally had to negotiate with FLN leaders for a peaceful transition to independence. In Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe, the white minority sought to promote a government under Bishop Abel Muzorewa and others rather than recognize opposition groups. Ultimately, only talks with Joshua Nkomo and Robert Mugabe brought a solution.
South Africa's white regime tried other options: building colored and Indian constituencies and supporting Chief Mangosuthu Buthelezi and his Inkatha Freedom Party - intending to divide blacks and defeat the ANC. The strategy worked no more successfully than such efforts in Algeria and Zimbabwe.
It is tempting, in looking at these parallels, to examine another case, that of the Israelis and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). Although the Israeli Knesset has recently relaxed restrictions on private Israelis talking with the PLO, the Rabin government remains adamantly opposed to any PLO contacts.
Israelis, like others in similar circumstances, have looked for alternatives, primarily in "more reasonable" individual Palestinians. Jerusalem even tolerated the Muslim fundamentalist group, Hamas, in its earlier manifestations - hoping to divide the Palestinians and weaken the PLO. Current problems with Hamas suggest the failure of that policy.
The Israeli administration insists that the Palestinian delegation in the Middle East peace talks does not represent the PLO; yet continuing contact between the negotiators and PLO headquarters in Tunis is an open secret.
in fundamental ways, though the two regimes have had common interests in collaboration. Parallel attitudes can be found in the ruling groups: fears of the consequences of change, convictions that force can prevail, and hopes that unfranchised peoples can be divided and discredited. Israelis can't have deeper antipathy for the PLO than do some white South Africans toward the ANC.
Israelis argue that the PLO, in Yasser Arafat, does not have a leader comparable in stature to Nelson Mandela of the ANC hence efforts to recognize or negotiate with Mr. Arafat would be political death. Yet, perhaps, another lesson arises from the South African case: De Klerk saw that if he did not take advantage of Mr. Mandela's prestige and following, time would run out and less reasonable leaders would arise.
The same may be true in Israel. It is not easy for dominant powers, challenged by leaders and organizations of suppressed people, to turn and deal with the perceived enemy. Yet history suggests that to deny the popularity and power of such organizations is to risk the emergence of worse alternatives. Israelis seeking peace in the Middle East might need to learn this.

Indictment in missing Tenn. nursing student case
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - A man was charged Wednesday with kidnapping and murdering a nursing student who was last seen outside her West Tennessee home nearly three years ago, investigators said.
Holly Bobo was 20 when she disappeared on April 13, 2011. Her brother told authorities he saw a man in hunting clothes leading her into the woods around the family home near Parsons, about 100 miles northeast of Memphis.
Last week, investigators in the case searched the home of 29-year-old Zachary Adams and he was arrested in an unrelated aggravated assault case on Friday. Tennessee Bureau of Investigation director Mark Gwyn on Wednesday announced the grand jury indictment against Adams in Bobo's disappearance.
Gwyn would not say what kind of evidence was found during the search or whether authorities have recovered any remains. Adams' home in the Holladay community is about 15 miles from Bobo's home where she was last seen.
Adams was in custody with no bond set. Gwyn did not rule out the possibility of other arrests in the case and said the investigation in continuing.
Gwyn said someone from the TBI spoke with the Bobo family before the indictment was announced at a news conference.
Guns-in-parks proposal clears 1st House panel
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - A proposal to strip local government control over whether to allow people with handgun carry permits to be armed at parks, playgrounds and sports fields has cleared its first legislative hurdle in the House.
The House Civil Justice Subcommittee advanced the measure sponsored by Republican Rep. Tilman Goins of Morristown on a voice vote. The companion bill passed the full Senate on a 26-7 vote last month.
The measure has advanced despite the misgivings of Republican Gov. Bill Haslam, who as Knoxville mayor in 2009 supported a city council vote that kept in place a ban on handguns in some of the city's parks.
Audience members who wore red shirts to signal their opposition to the bill booed and hissed after the panel advanced the measure to the full committee.
School voucher bill advances in Tenn. House
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - A proposal to create a school voucher program in Tennessee is advancing in the House despite concerns from some lawmakers that the legislation would be detrimental to public schools.
The measure proposed by Gov. Bill Haslam passed the House Budget Subcommittee 7-6 on Wednesday.
It is slightly different than an original measure brought by the Republican governor that limited the vouchers to students from low-income families attending the bottom 5 percent of failing schools. The measure that passed would expand eligibility to the bottom 10 percent of failing schools if slots are left.
House Speaker Beth Harwell cast the tie-breaking vote to move the legislation.
"Ultimately, I think everyone's goal here is the same and that is to help children that are in chronically low-performing schools have an opportunity for something better," said the Nashville Republican.
Haslam withdrew his initial legislation last year when Senate Republicans sought to expand to a larger number of children. The Senate version of the voucher proposal was to be taken up its Education Committee later Wednesday.
Coal firm to pay record fine for water pollution
WASHINGTON (AP) - One of the nation's largest coal producers will pay a $27.5 million fine and spend $200 million to reduce illegal toxic discharges into hundreds of waterways across five Appalachian states, according to a proposed settlement Wednesday.
The agreement includes the largest fine ever for violations of water pollution permits, with many of the violations reported by the company to state environmental officials. The Associated Press obtained details about the settlement before it was filed Wednesday in federal court in West Virginia.
The discharges occurred at mines and coal processing plants in Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia.
"This is the largest one, period," Cynthia Giles, head of the Environmental Protection Agency's enforcement office, told the AP. "It's the biggest case for permit violations for numbers of violations and size of the penalty, which reflects the seriousness of violations."
The government says that between 2006 and 2013, Alpha Natural Resources Inc. and dozens of subsidiaries violated water pollution limits in state-issued permits more than 6,000 times. They discharged heavy metals and other contaminants harmful to fish and other wildlife from nearly 800 outfall pipes directly into rivers, streams and tributaries, according to the government. There is no evidence that any of the violations contaminated drinking water, EPA officials said.
Monitoring records attached to the complaint show that in some cases, the releases exceeded permit limits by as much as 35 times.

Dylan's "It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)". Versions that will turn you inside out.
In October 2013 The Mercury News from San José reports that the building at 2066 Crist Drive, Los Altos, was granted historical monument status. The Los Altos Historical Commission has unanimously decided that the house with the attached garage from which Steve Jobs built and sold his first Apples is a historical resource and should be protected.
Fourteen months later, in January 2015, director Danny Boyle is granted permission to film on location for his adaptation of Walter Isaacson's biography Steve Jobs (2011). So the film scenes that tell the embryonic phase of Apple are really set in the original garage. For that, the decor must be transformed back to 1976 and thanks to the current owner, Steve Jobs' sister Patricia, that works out fine – Patricia was there, in those early years, and worked with co-founder Steve Wozniak and her brother on the assembly of the first hundred Apple 1 computers.
With the help of some photographs and her memory, Patricia reconstructs for the film crew the junk shop the garage was at the time. In addition, she can delight decorators with authentic attributes, like with the poster that hangs against the back wall: a still from the promotional film for "Subterranean Homesick Blues", the iconic precursor of later video clips.
Jobs' fanatical love for Dylan has been extensively documented and in the 2015 film Dylan is a leitmotif. In small, unobtrusive details, such as that poster against the back wall, and plainly, like in script dialogues and in playing "Shelter From The Storm" over the credits. On the soundtrack, besides Shelter, there is also "Rainy Day Women # 12 & 35", which director Boyle, contrary to expectations, plays in Jobs' famous announcement of the Macintosh. Unexpectedly, because Jobs (wonderfully played by Michael Fassbender) opens that announcement by quoting "The Times They Are A-Changin", preceded by a, unfortunately partly cut out, discussion with John Sculley (Jeff Daniels) about the meaning of that song. And there is another song hidden in the movie; from a radio in the background we hear "Meet Me In The Morning".
It is more than a business motto, it is a life motto for Jobs and it also sheds extra light on that poster choice – the young Jobs daily sees Dylan's cue card with the words get born. And, according to the script of grandmaster Aaron Sorkin, the key phrase from The Times therefore is the present now will later be past.
"This verse means that you must permanently, deliberately, rid yourself of the past, because otherwise it will also become your present," says Jobs' mentor Sculley. "Yes! Exactly! That's exactly – you're the only one … God … that's what I mean!" the enthusiastic computer nerd yells.
It is an aphorism that will remain a guideline for the restless innovator Jobs.
The busy being born quote from "It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)" is one of the cast-iron, indestructible verse fragments from one of Dylan's greatest masterpieces and one of the four lines that enters into the Columbia Dictionary of Quotations, between Shakespeare, John F. Kennedy and Mark Twain. Presidential candidate Jimmy Carter cites it in his acceptance speech at the Democratic Convention in 1976 to illustrate his progress dreams and future vision, in 2000 presidential candidate Al Gore calls it his favorite quote, in the twenty-first century writers of management books, publishing scientists, journalists and bumper sticker producers use the slogan. He not busy being born is busy dying has penetrated the collective cultural baggage.
Perhaps the one-liner originates from Blind Willie McTells "You Was Born To Die" (1933), perhaps his own 'stead of learnin' to live they are learnin' to die (from "Let Me Die In My Footsteps", 1962) floats around – Dylan himself does not know where this line comes from, nor the genesis of the entire song, for that matter. Already at the time of conception, in 1964, he says that his way of songwriting has changed, but reiterating is the word unconscious, a word he already uses in relation to early songs like "Girl From The North Country" and that he still chooses when he is asked for reflection on Blonde On Blonde. In the 70s he lost that talent, he says in several interviews, and he has to "consciously do what I had been able to do naturally".
Maybe not that exceptional. The fact that Dylan is able to produce such a masterpiece as "It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)" so young, at the age of twenty-three, seems unimaginable, but is a characteristic of genius artists. Goethe writes his Werther when he is twenty-four, Picasso is twenty-five when he invents Cubism with Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, Michelangelo sculpts his David when he is twenty-five, the same age Gershwin has when he composes the Rhapsody In Blue, Hergé starts the Tintin series when he is twenty-two, Rimbaud is barely nineteen (!) when Un Saison En Enfer is published.
Magic is suiting indeed. Overwhelming is perhaps a better qualification. The singer rattles down a rhythmic barrage of 667 words over a very basic melody and a harsh chord scheme. The poet limits himself to an extremely tight rhyme scheme: each verse is AAAAAB, the B returns at the end of the next two verses and at the end of the chorus. In between, the rhyme master profusely sprinkles dizzying alliterations, internal rhymes and assonances, one-liners with the power of an aphorism and an abundance of what the Nobel Prize Committee years later would honour as "his pictorial way of thinking".
An overwhelming thing here is that the poet never falls into the trap of empty doggerel. As far as the content is concerned, it is compelling, monumental, too. Art with a capital A, just like "Chimes Of Freedom" or "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall": an eclectic collage of breathtaking images. But unlike in those works, all those images do not sketch one, many-layered panorama here. "It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)" is the mosaic of a human condition. The listener is carried along the Great Themes, past existential fear, loneliness, religion and commerce, morality and hypocrisy, the everyday humdrum and common non-freedom. Wrapped in timeless wordings and majestic metaphors; the song is no less topical, sharp and effective fifty years later.
But Dylan proceeds anyway. Fortunately.
Thin ice, to the colleagues who risk a cover. Such a long song, so little melody on a rather scant chord scheme and the brilliant execution by the master himself – it requires quite some confidence to think that there is room for improvement.
They fail, obviously. Attempts enough, though. The best known is Roger McGuinn's contribution to Easy Rider (1969).
Identical arrangement, but technically better performed harmonica and guitar playing, coming close to the excitement that the original can unleash – but it then lacks the raw purity of it.
The Swiss-born Sophie Hunger has a beautiful "One Too Many Mornings" on her repertoire and overstretches with "It's Alright, Ma" on the live album The Rules Of Fire. However, a YouTube version of the same Frau Hunger fares better.
Plus points for the very creative, three-part rendition and powerful recital of the third part, minus points for the somewhat painful fact that Sophie occasionally runs out of breath (and her accent is a little distracting).
A bit unreal is Al 'Year Of The Cat' Stewart, live in 1970. His affected, through and through British accent gives an unintended comical but charming twist to the song.
Even more improbable is the slightly sultry, funky swinging version, with violins, horns and all, by Billy Preston from 1973 (Everybody Likes Some Kind Of Music) – a cover with quite a few fans, who often put it down as a guilty pleasure.
Dylan veteran Barb Jungr (Hard Rain, 2014) produces a rather schizophrenic cover; beautifully set to music (splendid organ), annoyingly articulated sung couplets, goosebumping choruses – she can sing, after all.
From an artistic point of view the most interesting interpretation is delivered by the colourful, eccentric New Yorker Franz Nicolay.
The author of the "season's best travel book" (2016, New York Times on The Humorless Ladies Of Border Control) is infectiously crazy and provides a respectful, tumultuous mix of polka, punk and parody for the successful tribute project Subterranean Homesick Blues: A Tribute To Bob Dylan's Bringing It All Back Home (2010). Above all, Nicolays cover reeks of anarchy – and that should please both Steve Jobs and Bob Dylan.

Great piece. I comment here maybe once out of every 50 pieces I read. But as one who scribbles a bit now and then himself, I know a pat on the back from a reader helps me feel that I'm getting across. You get across. Not only in this one. It just felt like time for me to say thanks for all of them. Please keep on keeping on. You are doing it right.
Thanks Manor. That is a very kind pat on the back, and appreciated.
Hi Tony, I'm working my way through site. Great stuff! If you are looking for a good instrumental of It's Alright Ma. Check out Charles Ballantine's version on his Dylan cover album. Excellent music. It is not all instrumental.

Ultra Street Fighter IV is scheduled for release sometime in early 2014 and was said to feature plenty of new changes to its gameplay. Last week the game's producer Tomoaki Ayano shared some of those changes and revealed that the title would feature two new gameplay mechanics – "Ultra Combo Double" for an offensive and "Red Focus Attack" for a defensive.
Currently every character can choose only one Ultra Combo for a match.
In the next installment, "Ultra Combo Double" will allow players to select both of their Ultra Combos. However, doing so would mean that each Ultra Combo will now deal less damage than before. If equipping yourself with multiple Ultras is not your thing, then you can always select a single Ultra Combo.
Currently the game's Focus Attack system allows players to absorb the damage from a single attack. In the next installment, "Red Focus Attack" will allow players to absorb damage from multiple attacks but this will come at the cost of your Super Meter.
Ayano mentioned that Red Focus Attacks can still be dash cancelled but provided no other information on how a Red Focus Attack can be executed or how much meter it will burn.
Ultra Street Fighter IV will be released for the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC. Capcom has already stated that they have no plans to bring the game on to the newer PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles.

Leunen is a native of Washington state and has spent the past 10 seasons playing professionally in Turkey, Italy and Germany.
Seibutis is from Lithuania and has played overseas for 16 years.
Motley was undrafted out of Baylor last year and played 11 games as a rookie.


Welcome to this special episode of Behind the Prose. Special, because I bet you didn't think it was coming! More special, because it features former guest, literary historical fiction writer and fellow New School Creative Writing MFA Grad Scott Alexander Hess. This time, I talk to him about how he wrote his latest novella, Skyscraper, while he was in the middle of writing a novel. In this episode, besides hearing me butcher the name of his publisher, Lethe Press, you'll learn why I disappeared and why I'm back!


The ladybuggie baby knitting is darling! Sorry to hear about the bad roommate. Our Girlie is dealing with that right now, and it's so wearing.
I'm sorry you have to deal with the roomies from hell. If it's any consolation, I had 29 of them total before my husband, and most were horrible. Some were just less horrible than others.
I do love the ladybugs.
I just saw that little sweater/hat at the yarn store I've been haunting - way cute! And I can't wait to see your cardi. Go you!

X22 Report has a new outstanding video which discusses today's economic collapse and how the government is looking to confiscate everyone's wealth because the debt level has reached a point where there is no way out.
The government needs to steal the money from every single person to keep the system going, yet even after doing so, the debt will not even be dented and we will continue to need to borrow more because the system is completely unsustainable.
The video and information within, speaks for itself.


The only trouble with paganism is that they do not tell us about the true God.
It's not like UK schools would be teaching Christianity anyway.
I've always found it telling it's The Church of England, rather than the English Church. The first phrasing somewhat suggests it's an institution that worships the country I prefer to call "occupied east Wales".


Before the Uttar Pradesh election began, the Bhartiya Janata Party had said Prime Minister Narendra Modi would only address 10-12 rallies over the seven phases of polling between 11 February and 8 March. However, he has already addressed 15 rallies and is all set to address at least 6 more, taking the total number to 21. There could still be even more. That's a ratio of at least 3 rallies per phase.
His last rally will be in Varanasi on 5 March. "The number of rallies has increased because of huge public demand. People want to see, hear and interact with the prime minister everywhere," says BJP spokesperson Chandra Mohan.
"The BJP was overconfident of winning UP. As the phases have gone by, they are trailing behind by a huge margin."
Samajwadi Party leaders, however, say this sounds a lot like Bihar 2014 assembly elections, where the prime minister had stepped up the number of his rallies mid-way, addressing a total of 31 rallies during the election campaign.
"The BJP was overconfident of winning UP. As the phases have gone by, they are trailing behind by a huge margin. That's why the PM has increased his rallies and changed his language from development to communalism," says Samajwadi Party spokesperson Sharvendra Singh.
The mid-way decision to increase his rallies does suggest a change of strategy. Significantly, the frequency of rallies increased after the first two phases, in which many believed the BJP didn't do as well as it expected, thanks to the Jat shift to the Rashtriya Lok Dal.
Before the elections began, the BJP had decided not to overplay the Modi card, for fear of a Bihar-like attack from the SP, which could have turned it into an Akhilesh versus Modi election, just like Bihar became a Nitish versus Modi election. However, as the election narrative failed to become Akhilesh versus Modi, the prime minister has quietly increased the number of rallies.
BJP sources say the number of rallies could be increased even further, and that they are being strategically held in districts the prime minister hasn't visited in over a year.
PM Modi has addressed rallies and public meetings at Meerut, Agra, Ghaziabad, Bijnaur, Badaun, Lakhimpur Kheri, Kannauj, Hardoi, Barabanki, Fatehpur, Urai, Allahabad, Basti, Bahraich and Gonda.
Four of the seven phases are over, the remaining three phases are all in eastern Uttar Pradesh that the SP had swept in 2012 and the BJP in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections.

The Parliamentary Opposition Group stands by its view that the Minister of Finance has breached section 52(1)(a) of the Public Finance Management Act –PFM.
Responding to the Finance Ministry statement, the Opposition Group says whilst it acknowledge that the Ministry confirms tabling the mid-year review report on the 2016 budget; the Ministry has failed to admit that it was done outside of what the law required.
The Opposition statement says, its office has been informed by Parliament that the report was just submitted on Monday 19th September, clearly 9 months after the budget has been executed.
It explains, the Minister by virtue of section 52(1)(a) must table the review report on the 2016 budget not later than 31 July 2016.
The Opposition Group says there is a failure on the requirement that the Minister is obligated by law to table the review report not later than seven months after the start of the financial year.
It adds it would now be interesting to watch whether or not the Speaker of Parliament accepts and tables the report before Parliament.
The opposition says, not providing the report on time is the same as withholding information from Parliamentary due process of scrutiny. Clearly this is bad governance and the Speaker should not allow the Executive to bend the law to suit its ineffectiveness.
The Parliamentary Opposition urge the Speaker to ensure the executive complies with the requirements of the law and set a very strong precedence- the law and Parliament processes must not be tampered with.

RCMP said a man believed to be connected to a stabbing that occurred in Surrey last month has been arrested in Alberta. Surrey RCMP's General Investigation Unit advanced the investigation and on January 25, the BC Prosecution Service approved charges, including attempted murder, against 21-year old Anhad Singh Virk, of Surrey.
SURREY – RCMP said a man believed to be connected to a stabbing that occurred in Surrey on December 13 has been arrested in Alberta.
Surrey RCMP's General Investigation Unit advanced the investigation and on January 25, the BC Prosecution Service approved charges, including attempted murder, against 21-year old Anhad Singh Virk, of Surrey.
Earlier in the week, the police had put out a press release asking for the public's assistance to locate the suspect, described as a South Asian man, in a stabbing which occurred on December 13, 2018 in the Newton area of Surrey.
Virk faces charges including attempted murder in the targeted Dec. 13 incident where a man in his 50s was seriously injured when he was stabbed outside a business in the 13400 block of 72 Avenue shortly before 5 p.m. The suspect fled the scene before police arrived.
Police say Virk was arrested in Edmonton on Jan. 30. after being spotted by someone in the area.
Virk remains in-custody in Edmonton while arrangements are made for his return to Surrey where he will be brought before the court.
An Canada-wide arrest warrant has been issued against Virk after the charge was approved on January 28, 2018.

This one might not be for those afraid of heights- or of breaking glass for that matter. There is a walkway that hangs over the edge of a cliff above a 918-foot drop, and the floor is made of glass.
Banff, Alberta is a national park full of great views and adventure, but this one-of-a-kind attraction is something else. The Glacier Skywalk is a glass platform that reaches out over the edge of a vast cliff.
A one-kilometre hike to the skywalk leads through waterfalls, fossils, and wildlife. Once you reach the walkway, the sights are breathtaking with views of the Rockies, glaciers, and Banff and Jasper National Parks.
Located in the Sunwapta Valley, the local ecosystem is unique. Not only is this region remote and challenging to get to, but it is also located south of the Columbia Ice Fields. The Glacier Skywalk gives you a chance to see how the ice fields affect the local landscape and environment.
A stroll on the Glacier Skywalk is $31 per courageous person. For more information, you can visit and make bookings, here.

A fraudster has had his claim dismissed after it was found that he lied about how many passengers were in his car.
He alleged that on 14 October 2015, an Aviva policyholder had reversed her BMW into his Vauxhall Vectra at a give-way junction. As a result, he sought damages for whiplash.
Aviva accepted liability for the collision but had concerns with the claimant's allegation that he had three passengers in his vehicle when the accident happened. Aviva's policyholder was adamant that there had only been one passenger in his car.
The claimant issued proceedings against Aviva's policyholder in December 2016. His three alleged passengers submitted claims notifications forms to Aviva on the same day but they did not issue proceedings.
The trial judge said that, while the claimant had lied about how many passengers were in his car at the time, he had been injured as alleged and was therefore entitled to £4,400 in damages.
The judge refused to dismiss the claim under s57 of the Criminal Justice and Courts Act 2015 for being linked to 'phantom passenger claims'. This was because the three passengers' claims had remained pre-issue and therefore did not constitute 'related claims'.
Aviva and DAC Beachcroft appealed this decision, and the appeal judge agreed.
Her Honour Judge Melissa Clarke dismissed the claim and ordered the claimant to pay Aviva's costs of the entire action.
She ruled that the definition of 'related claim' in s57(8) encompassed the pre-issue claims that had been submitted to Aviva.

With Femtocell popularities and deployments on the rise, a number of Femtocell security breach has been reported as a result of pre-standards versions of Femtocells that did not conform to published standards or implemented as a result of lack of understanding of basic security principles. A considerable amount of effort has been devoted, both in industry forums and standards developing organizations, towards creating technical specifications for the architecture, operational, and security of the Femtocells. Security remains on the minds of operators as the traditionally closed operator core network opens up with the Femtocells extending into the homes of users and potential hackers with more and more powerful tools.

The Samsung Stratosphere is set to receive its first update since being released on Verizon almost a year ago. The update is labeled FF1, is 53.8MB in size, and includes a number of features that will add to the user experience. The biggest is probably the new face unlock that security feature that we have become familiar with thanks to Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0), however, this update is not Ice Cream Sandwich. The device will still be running Gingerbread (Android 2.3). They also tweaked the incoming call screen, gave more sorting options in the app drawer, included a photo editor, and allow for stills to be taken during video recording.
Other than those major UI changes, Verizon and Samsung patched security (probably a root exploit), improved navigation audio, added video chatting in Google Talk, and improved touch screen response. Again, it's the first update for the device, so as you can expect, it's a pretty sizable one.
No official word has been given for a timeline for rollout to users, but we usually see it within a matter of days once Verizon has posted up support docs like these.
