Samsung's 110-Inch UHD TV, the world's largest, goes on sale for $150,000
If the 105-Inch curved Ultra HD TV announced by LG earlier last week wasn't too big, Samsung has introduced the world's biggest UHD television which measures a staggering 110 inches diagonally. Promised by Samsung at the 2013 CES, the Korean company has delivered it a week ahead of the 2014 edition of the show. The Consumer Electronic Show kicks off on the 7th January at Las Vegas and already days before it starts, the tech arena is buzzing with interesting news. Samsung launched the giant sized television on Monday which brags of 4 times the resolution of normal high-definition TV.
Samsung's 110-inch UHD TV measures 2.6 meters by 1.8 meters and will be available in China, the Middle East and Europe. Initially the pricing was kept under the wraps and the company stuck with the price on demand formula but later it's pricing for South Korea was announced. The mammoth sized TV comes with an equally mammoth sized bill; it bears a price tag of $152,000, which is equal to a 2014 Mercedes Benz S Class and a Porsche Cayman S combined. Before this model, Samsung's 85 Inch UHD TV was the biggest 4K television which retails for $40k, but the new 110-inch UHD TV absolutely dwarfs its smaller sibling.

Home - Osaka coy after reaching third round
Osaka coy after reaching third round
Reuters / No Comments Share:
Naomi Osaka was first player from an Asian country to win the US Open singles title. Reuters
MELBOURNE (Reuters) – US Open champion Naomi Osaka called for the trainer and took a tablet during her dominant second round win over unseeded Slovenian Tamara Zidansek at the Australian Open yesterday but declined to reveal any details of her ailment.
The first player from an Asian country to win the US Open singles title, Osaka was hampered by a back injury toward the end of last season and withdrew from the Sydney International in the leadup to Melbourne Park after making the Brisbane semi-finals.
Osaka called for the trainer and took medication when leading 2-1 in the second set against Zidansek but otherwise appeared in rude health as she bashed her way to a rousing 6-2 6-4 win. "I was able to finish and win the match, so it's not that big of a deal," the Japanese 21-year-old told reporters. "It's something that I have to keep an eye on. I'm not telling you, though.
"You'll never guess. You'll never find out," she added with a smile. Fourth seed Osaka reached the fourth round of last year's Australian Open and has been getting used to the attention that comes with being a Grand Slam champion after New York.
She said she still felt too new to the tour to feel comfortable hugging her rivals after matches and preferred a handshake-first policy.
"The thing is, I'm used to handshakes. Every time someone comes for a hug, I'm very confused," she said.
"I'm told that I give out the worst hugs, too.
"It's not necessarily the best situation for me to try to hug someone unless I really know them. And I don't really know anybody, so."
Osaka, who will play Taiwan's Hsieh Su-wei for a place in the fourth round, gave a second serving of joy to Japanese fans, who had watched compatriot Kei Nishikori close out a five-set cliffhanger against Ivo Karlovic on the previous match at Margaret Court Arena.
Osaka ran into Nishikori, Asia's first male Grand Slam finalist when he made the 2014 US Open title-decider, when walking in the tunnel through to the court before her match. "I told him, 'Nice match'. He looked very tired. I was just like, 'Oh, excuse me, I'll get out of your way. You had a very, very long match. I had to warm up four times, so thank you for that.'"

Enterprises continue to fall short when it comes to protecting corporate data on mobile apps and devices, according to the Mobile Security and Risk Review, released today by MobileIron (NASDAQ:MOBL) at the 2016 U.S. Black Hat conference taking place in Las Vegas, July 30-August 4. Mobile threats are on the rise but only 8% of companies are enforcing OS updates and less than 5% are using App Reputation or Mobile Threat Detection software.
The second edition of the Mobile Security and Risk Review updates Q4 2015 data and discusses an emerging set of threats and risks, including enterprise compliance failures, compromised devices, and data loss risks. For the first time, the review also identifies enterprise security trends on a geographic regional basis and for the government vertical.
Download the Mobile Security and Risk Review for Q2 2016 here: www.mobileiron.com/securityandriskreview, and visit MobileIron at Black Hat in booth #1568.
The report outlines several new mobile attacks which have emerged that threaten enterprises. Most are simply re-using old tactics against mobile-specific services, such as SideStepper's use of Man-In-the-Middle (MITM) against MDM, rather than employing new techniques or exploiting new vulnerabilities. However, when attacks against users are successful, they can result in the loss of both personal and business data.
Android GMBot: This spyware remotely controls infected devices in order to trick victims into providing their bank credentials.
AceDeceiver iOS malware: This malware is designed to steal a person's Apple ID.
SideStepper iOS "vulnerability": This technique was discovered to intercept and manipulate traffic between an MDM server and a managed device.
High-severity OpenSSL issues: These vulnerabilities can potentially impact large numbers of applications and services, which could ultimately jeopardize enterprise data-in-motion.
Marcher Android malware: This malware has evolved to mimic bank web pages that trick users into entering their login information through e-commerce web sites.
Missing devices: 40% of companies had missing devices, up from 33% in Q4 2015.
Out-of-date policies: 27% of companies had out-of-date policies, up from 20% in Q4 2015.
Enforcing OS updates: 8% of companies were enforcing OS updates, which was comparable to Q4 2015.
App reputation software: Less than 5% of companies deployed app reputation software, which was comparable to Q4 2015.
For the full list of trends, go to: www.mobileiron.com/securityandriskreview.
"When an unmanaged app that can potentially access corporate data or bypass corporate security measures achieves broad consumer adoption, IT departments look to blacklist it because they can't protect corporate data in an app they don't manage," said Plouffe.
Government organizations are known for having some of the most stringent security requirements. Paradoxically, extensive approval processes make it difficult for these organizations to keep pace with change, which can make them more vulnerable.
Globally, Government organizations are less prepared to deal with security incidents than the global average.
61% of Government organizations have at least one non-compliant device, compared with the global average of 53%.
48% of Government organizations have missing devices, compared to the global average of 40%.
34% of Government organizations had devices operating under outdated policies, compared to the global average of 27%.
The share of iOS devices grew from 78% in Q4 2015 to 81% in Q2 2016. The share of Android devices remained flat at 18% during this timeframe.
The second edition of the Mobile Security and Risk Review is based on aggregated, anonymous usage data shared by customers that was compiled from April 1, 2016 through June 30, 2016.

3 Wellness Experts Share 7 Tips For Radical Self-Love *Right Now*
Within each of us is the superpower to love ourselves unconditionally—but how many of us are actually using it? Realistically, very few. So what are the obstacles that make self-love seem unrealistic? Why do we judge ourselves first and accept ourselves "later?" To answer these questions, mbg reached out to a few leaders in women's wellness whose wisdom is found in abundance on AthletaWell, the new expert-led community created by Athleta to support female well-being and empowerment. These three AthletaWell Guides—Chris Freytag, Margeaux House, and Heather Caplan—not only handed over the map to self-love, they introduced what could only be called radical self-love. And offered tips so good they must be shared.
Self-love is less about the occasional bubble bath or dark chocolate, and more about doing "the work," like forgiveness. And as a first step, that can feel daunting. But how are we to radically love ourselves if we haven't forgiven our inevitable mistakes and imperfections?
Self-love looks different for everyone. Putting it into practice means reconnecting with what we actually enjoy. And if that means saying no to carve out more time for things that fill our cup—so be it.
"Finding self-love is super hard to do. And finding forgiveness for yourself is the first step to embark on that journey."
"What makes you feel good? Is that playing a sport, cooking a meal your grandmother used to cook for you, or reading a book on the couch for an hour instead of running? We get really stuck that, 'I have to do this set of things in order to make sure I feel good today.'"
Self-love and mindset are inextricably linked. Repeating a positive affirmation like "I am enough" throughout your day can help cultivate a healthier mental environment where self-love can flower.
"Very little progress can be made when experiencing negative emotions. When people are living in negative emotions—anger, fear, jealousy, envy—they are not productive personally or professionally. You have to change those emotions to the positive to accomplish things."
In today's world, it can be hard to even begin a journey of self-love, as we're constantly barraged with media and its many forms of advice. That's why we have to curate more positivity in our feeds to support our radical self-acceptance.
"What are your sources of information, and how much do they influence you? If you follow a bunch of people and you think that their content is motivating, but is actually making you feel like you're not doing enough… Unsubscribe from that!"
Something all three AthletaWell Guides agreed on: Even in the bliss of self-love, we're still going to experience down days. The more we can surround our down days with compassion and mindful practices, the smaller chance they have of derailing our self-love journey.
"It's ok if the idea of body-love just doesn't sit with you. Because then it's like, I have to be in love with my body. That's different from loving your body, taking care of it, respecting it, and unconditionally showing up for it—the way it does for us."
It's only human nature to take care of others... But is it possible that we're focusing outwardly to avoid doing our own work? Yeah, this one hits deep. But self-love means loving our whole selves, the light and dark sides which we all have.
"I would always put other people before myself. I had to look at that and say, why am I doing that? To be a good friend, a good sister, a good wife? Or am I doing this so I don't have time to actually look at myself?"
Through their own journeys, these AthletaWell Guides know that radical self-love is no joke. As rewarding as it is, it's also hard work — all the more reason to do it together.
"We'll blast our winnings all across Instagram, but no one wants to talk about the hard stuff! [The personal stories and experiences] are the reasons why I'm involved in AthletaWell. People are even afraid to share with friends and lovers, but when we share, there is that feeling of 'I'm not alone in this.'"
"Community is important," Chris described. "Especially in this world where we've become disconnected from each other. As our bodies are changing, as we're aging… It helps to hear other people's stories of how they've dealt with it, so you don't feel so alone!" Margeaux, Heather, and Chris are living embodiments of radical self-love. Their wisdom is the reminder that self-love isn't just possible, it's actually natural. And these conversations are only a taste of what's available on AthletaWell. Members have the ability to connect with Guides on their wellness questions, and each other along the way—meaning real conversations, advice, and friendship around-the-clock. With livestream workshops, classes, articles, videos, podcasts, obé Fitness classes, and more—AthletaWell covers all aspects of the well women. And the best part? Membership is free and you can sign up anytime. Radical self-love is more than real. It is our birthright. Women haven't been looking for a map to get there—we've just been looking for each other.
Heather is an anti-diet Registered Dietician, Founder of Weight Inclusive Nutrition, and podcast host. She can be found running, hiking, and carrying kids around in Colorado.

Home International News American actor Tom Hanks and wife test positive for coronavirus
American actor Tom Hanks and wife test positive for coronavirus
Innoe Malaba
American actor, who is starring in Baz Luhrmann's Elvis film, and his wife say they are to be isolated while they recover
The US actor Tom Hanks and his wife, Rita Wilson, have been diagnosed with coronavirus while filming in Australia.
The 63-year-old Academy Award-winning actor is currently on the Gold Coast in Queensland filming Baz Luhrmann's untitled production about Elvis Presley.
Hanks wrote on Instagram on Thursday that after he and Wilson had been feeling "a bit tired, like we had colds" they arranged to be tested for the virus and had been "found to be positive"
"We felt a bit tired, like we had colds and some body aches," he wrote on his official Instagram page.
"Rita had some chills that came and went. Slight fevers too. To play things right, as is needed in the world right now, we were tested for the coronavirus, and were found to be positive.
"Well, now. What to do next? The medical officials have protocols that must be followed. We Hanks' will be tested, observed, and isolated for as long as public health and safety requires. Not much more to it than a one-day-at-a-time approach, no?"
The Guardian understands that early on Thursday morning cast and crew attached to the film received an email instructing them to stay away from set after a member of the production tested positive for the virus.
The premier of Queensland, Annastacia Palaszczuk, said on Thursday that health officials would conduct contact tracing to determine who had been in close contact with Hanks and Wilson.
"People who have come in close contact with Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson will now need to self isolate and quarantine," she said.
Famously approachable, Hanks had regularly posed for photos with fans at Coolangatta Beach on the Gold Coast and a cafe near Mount Warning on the New South Wales far north coast.
But the premier said she did not believe a selfie would constitute close contact.
"Tom has been having a wonderful time on the Gold Coast and we are so lucky to have Tom in Queensland," she said.
"But what it is, is people who have come in very close contact with him in recent days [our] experts will now work very closely with him with Baz [Luhrmann] and all the cast the crew and then they will isolate those people who have been in that close proximity.
"From what the chief health officer has told me it's over 15 minutes of being in very close contact, so a selfie wouldn't count as that."
She said Hanks and Wilson would receive "the best treatment in our hospital".
"I'm very confident with the physicians that we have that will be treating Tom and his wife and like I said we wish them all the very best for a speedy recovery," she said.
"I know the thoughts of Queenslanders and all Australians are with Tom and Rita during this time."
In a video posted to Instagram Chet Hanks, the couple's son, said he'd spoken to his parents who were "not tripping".
"What's up everyone, um, yeah it's true my parents got coronavirus. Crazy," he said.
"I just got off the phone with them, they both are fine, they're not even that sick, they're not worried about it, they're not tripping, but they're going through the necessary health precautions obviously.
"I don't think it's anything to be too worried about, I appreciate everyone's concern and the well wishes but I think it's all going to be alright."
In the lead up to shooting, normal practice would involve lead actors to have close contact with wardrobe and hair and makeup departments for screen tests and sound tests. These often involve close physical contact with potentially dozens of crew.
Production on the Luhrmann film had been set to begin filming on Monday. In a statement the US production company behind the film, Warner Bros, said it was "taking precautions" to protect its employees.
"The health and safety of our company members is always our top priority, and we are taking precautions to protect everyone who works on our productions around the world," the company said in a statement.
"We have been made aware that a company member from our Elvis feature film, which is currently in pre-production in The Gold Coast, Australia, has tested positive for Covid-19 (coronavirus).
"We are working closely with the appropriate Australian health agencies to identify and contact anyone who may have come in direct contact with the individual.
"The individual who tested positive for Covid-19 is currently receiving treatment."
Hanks and Wilson, who is an American singer and actor, had been travelling to different locations in Australia and had posted photos from Sydney and Brisbane on Instagram.

Communicating errors
Ideally, you'll design your system to prevent errors from occurring in the first place. But no matter how simple your system, someone, somewhere, will make an error when using it. The difference between a great user experience and an awful one is what your system does next. — David Travis, November 11, 2010
By David Travis November 11, 2010 / guidelines
Interaction design is the art of managing a conversation between a user and a computer system. When a user asks for something that the computer can't understand, the computer throws up an error message. An error message is the computer's way of saying, 'Pardon?'
System errors are critical moments in the user experience, just like complaint handling is a defining moment in the customer experience. Deal with the problem well and your customer stays a customer. Deal with the problem poorly and the customer leaves — and, after he or she starts a FaceBook group to discredit you, you may lose lots of future customers too.
In this article, I'll outline 6 principles for dealing with system errors:
Be visible
Give constructive help
Speak the user's language
don't blame the user
don't be stupid
Once an error has occurred, you need to ensure the user is aware of the problem. This means the error message should be visible: the user shouldn't have to divine if, or where, an error has occurred.
One of my favourite examples of a (near) invisible error message is this dialogue box from an install program. At first glance, everything seems fine and it would be easy to misread the dialog and assume the drivers had been installed:
This dialog box from a install program contains a green tick and a large 'OK' button. The design implies that the drivers have been installed, when they haven't.
A good way to test out this principle with a web site is to submit a form with errors or missing 'required' fields and see what happens next. When users make a mistake with a form, you need to make it absolutely clear where the error has occurred. Returning a form that simply lists all of the problems doesn't help users appreciate where the error has occurred and what they need to do to fix it.
To resolve the issues thrown up by the web page in the next example, the user needs to continually scroll back to the top of the page to understand which error message refers to which field. A better design would be to place the error message next to each field that needs to be completed.
This page appears on the Business Link web site when you want to register but don't complete all the fields. A long list of errors appears at the top of the form, and although the error message itself is helpful ('You did not choose a title'), it's not clear which issue relates to which part of the form.
A second key principle is that good error messages should be precise and specific. Error messages need to say what has happened, why it's a problem, and how it can be resolved. An error message that simply states, 'an error has occurred' is no use to anyone.
I came across this example when my trial version of Symantec's antivirus software was coming to an end and I wanted to buy a license. I clicked a link in the application and arrived at this page on their web site:
This error page from the Symantec web site contains the text 'Error: No error message found', along with a 9-digit error code. After this, I decided to choose a different supplier for my antivirus software.
But there are limits to how precise and specific you need to be. Remember, it's just an error: the user needs enough information to understand the issue and move on. don't take this as an opportunity to subject the user to a training course in the use of your program. The example below from WinSCP (a Windows FTP program) provides too much background on the error: (Click the image for a larger view).
This warning dialog from WinSCP comprises 8 sentences and nearly 150 words. The text itself is also poorly written and ungrammatical. Its only saving grace is the 'Never ask me again' checkbox.
Nobody likes being stuck. Users encounter errors on the way to achieving goals, so your error message needs to give users the assistance they need to resolve the problem and move on.
This error message popped up when I was using a Canon printer:
This error message begins with an error number (always a bad sign). The message itself — 'Printer is in use or an error has occurred. If an error has occurred, eliminate the cause of the error' — provides no constructive help.
Simply asking the user to 'eliminate the cause of the error' is inadequate. The user needs to know exactly what has gone wrong and what he or she should do to fix it. (And don't get me started on heading up the message with an error number. Although error numbers can be a useful way for advanced users to troubleshoot a problem, they shouldn't be the first thing that users are asked to read).
A related issue occurs in an error message that a colleague came across when installing an Apple backup disk on his home network. The consequences of choosing each option is unclear from this dialogue. What is the penalty of ignoring the status light flashing amber? Should the user 'skip' or 'ignore' this error?
Even Apple struggle with error messages. The text in this message reads: 'This configuration will cause your Time Capsule's light to blink amber'. So what? A good error message should provide more constructive help.
It may not seem like an error message at first, but a 'no results found' response to a search enquiry is indeed an error message. The image below shows an example from the BBC web site. In this example, I've searched for 'veterinary' but spelt it wrongly; the 'error message' simply tells me that there are no matching results. But this isn't very constructive: it's not clear what I should do next: (Click the image for a larger view).
Searching for 'vetanary' on the BBC web site gives no results but the error message provides no suggestions on what to do next.
A better design would be to provide suggestions on what the user could do next, offer a 'did you mean' suggestion, or even (as shown in this better example from Google) automatically correct the search term:
The same search on Google corrects the spelling.
I'll admit it: writing good error messages is hardly the most exciting part of system design. Because of this, the precise wording of error messages tends to be left until the last moment and is often left to the person who writes code, rather than the person who writes content. This might be the reason why they are often so poorly phrased. Error messages often appear written from the system's perspective rather than from the user's perspective.
This example below comes from Yelp. When creating a Yelp profile I've included a number in the last name field. The system doesn't want me to have a number in the last name. Ideally it should let me put whatever I want in my name, but putting that issue to one side for the moment, a simple way to communicate this error is to say: 'You can't have numbers in your name'. Instead the error message reads 'Character 2 at position 6 is not allowed.'
Curiously, the offending number is actually in position 7. However, this error has been written by a developer — and if you're a developer, you start counting from zero, not from one.
An error message that only a programmer could love.
Designers would be wise to follow Alexander Pope's aphorism, 'To err is human; to forgive, divine.' The test of a user centred error message is how well it succeeds in helping the user save face after an error has occurred. A user's instinctive reaction to an error message is, "Aargh! I did something wrong!" Like a polite butler, the system should respond, "Oh no sir… that was my mistake." Nobody wants to feel stupid when using your system. So check that error messages are written in a non-derisory tone, do not blame the user and avoid phrases like 'user error' at all costs.
The example below comes from an earlier version of the Abbey National online banking web site (before the bank became Santander). As with many of the other examples in this article, this particular error message has a number of problems: for example, it doesn't help me resolve the issue (other than providing a helpdesk number) and it uses an error code rather than a precise description of the error. But my reason for including it in this section is because it does such a good job of making me feel stupid. Why is the word 'error' presented in such a large font? (Presumably so the fraudster shoulder surfing my online banking session can realise I'm totally clueless and ripe for the taking).
This error message appeared at an online banking site after a problem signing in. It contains the word 'error' in a massive font implying that the user has made a mistake (when in fact this was a system problem).
Another example with which we're all familiar is the '404-page not found' error that appears when you follow a broken link. Like many of the other examples I'm showing, the following example contains more than one problem — but my reason for highlighting it here is because of the opening phrase: 'you did something wrong'. Hold on: I clicked on a link in your web site and got this page. don't tell me this is my mistake.
The day I broke the Interweb.
As well as deflecting blame from the user, a good '404' page should make suggestions on what users should do next to reach the page they are after, include a search box, and perhaps include links to the most popular pages in the site.
Stupid error messages are error messages that are self-contradictory or that otherwise contain errors of their own. Perhaps the most famous example is the classic 'Press F1 to continue' when a PC is started without a keyboard:
The error message reads, 'Keyboard error or no keyboard present. Press F1 to continue, DEL to enter SETUP'. Photograph by Brent Nashville on flickr. Some rights reserved.
Similarly, you need to ensure that your error messages are free of spelling errors or typos. An error message with a spelling error is the very pinnacle of idiocy. It's like trying to correct someone's grammar and getting it wrong.
The example below shows a screenshot from a car park payment machine. Note the typing error. (Again, this isn't the only problem with this error message: it seems to imply the user has made the error with its 'card is illegible' statement):
The text on the error message contains a typing error ('stipe' for 'stripe'). Photograph by Justine Sanderson (Titne) on flickr. Some rights reserved.
Similarly, the error message below includes HTML formatting that simply makes the error message very hard to read. (Click the image for a larger view).
This pop-up message from the lastminute.com web site leaks html formatting commands into the error message itself.
To review the 6 principles again:
Nobody likes to see an error message. But follow these principles and you'll remove some of the misery from the experience.

Q: Tannakian criterion for reducedness of Tannakian dual group Given an affine group scheme G over a field of positive characteristic.
Question: Is there a simple criterion for G to be reduced in terms of the neutral Tannakian category of its finite dimensional algebraic representations?

A: Yes, and one could argue as follows, at least if the group scheme is assumed to be of finite type (so it is an algebraic group), and the base field is perfect. Recall that if $k$ is a field of characteristic zero, then any algebraic group is smooth, and that if $k$ is a perfect field of characteristic $p$, then an algebraic group is reduced if and only if it is smooth.
I'll make some statements using dg-categories, because that language simplifies some statements. Let $k$ be a perfect field, and let $A$ be a $k$-algebra. Then $A$ is smooth (in the usual sense) if and only if $A$ is a perfect object of the (dg-)category $\mathrm{BMod}_A(\mathrm{Mod}_k)$ of $A$-$A$-bimodules in $k$-vector spaces. I don't really have a reference for this, but one could view this result as a jazzed up statement of Serre's regularity criterion. (Since $k$ is perfect, $A$ is smooth if and only if it is regular.) This MathOverflow post has some discussion of such criteria: Smooth dg algebras (and perfect dg modules and compact dg modules).
This implies that if $A$ is a $k$-algebra, then $A$ is smooth if and only if $\mathrm{Mod}_A$ is a dualizable $k$-linear dg-category such that the unit $\eta:\mathrm{Mod}_k\to \mathrm{Mod}_A \otimes_k \mathrm{Mod}_A^\vee$ preserves compact objects. Indeed, the dual of $\mathrm{Mod}_A$ as a $k$-linear dg-category is just the category of modules over the opposite algebra (which is $A$ itself if $A$ is commutative), so $\mathrm{Mod}_A \otimes_k \mathrm{Mod}_A^\vee$ is the category of $A$-$A$-bimodules in $k$-vector spaces. The functor $\eta$ sends the unit $k\in \mathrm{Mod}_k$ to $A$ regarded as a bimodule over itself, so $A$ is smooth by the above discussion.
This gives the desired criterion over a perfect field $k$: an algebraic group $G$ is smooth if and only if the dg-category $\mathrm{Rep}(G)$ is a dualizable object in $k$-linear dg-categories, such that the unit $\eta:\mathrm{Mod}_k\to \mathrm{Rep}(G) \otimes_k \mathrm{Rep}(G)^\vee$ preserves compact objects.
If this is too abstract of a criterion, one could also just stop at the point where we appealed to Serre's homological criterion for regularity. This leads to the statement that an algebraic group $G$ over a perfect field $k$ is smooth if and only if $\mathrm{Rep}(G)$ is of finite global dimension, i.e., $\mathrm{Hom}_{\mathrm{Rep}(G)}(V, W[n])$ vanishes for all finite-dimensional representations $V,W\in \mathrm{Rep}(G)$ and all but finitely many $n$.

Ferrari F8 Spider: Wild at Heart! The Evolution of The Species
CategoriesCarsPosted on October 3, 2019
The Ferrari F8 Spider is still carrying 720 CV performance figures or 710 hp with 770 Nm of torque. All power is channeled to the rear wheels with F1 dual-clutch gearbox transmission. The time needed to go from 0-100 km / h can be reached in 2.9 seconds with a top speed of 340 km/hour.
Spider type Ferrari usually has a special designation, which gives the sensation of driving closer to the driver because the roof is open due to the roar of the engine which is easier to get into the engine.
It has become a tradition in the Ferrari sports car family with a V8 Ferrari mid-engine engine to present two-vehicle characters, the coupe, and convertible versions.
Usually, the coupe model in the language of Ferrari is called Berlinetta, it always appears first and will be followed by a convertible version or better known as Spider which will be our subject this time.
The Ferrari F8 Spider was designed in conjunction with the Tributo Berlinetta F8 and featured a compact and efficient Retractable Hard Top which influenced the leading ranks of the models in its class. The F8 Spider is the latest model of the V8 engine open-top category, which began in 308 GTS in 1977.
Thus, the F8 Spider becomes the new reference for en Plein air sports cars in terms of performance and handling quality, offering a very special driving experience. In fact, this the Ferrari F8 Spider excels in terms of combining handling dynamics with cabin comfort.
The mission of each new model produced by Maranello is to introduce new design features and outperform its predecessors on all fronts. Engineers and designers are challenged to go beyond their creative boundaries and technological limitations by offering new solutions that create a new level of excellence. They have done this once again and produce a masterpiece through this new model.
The F8 Spider continues the directions that begin with the F8 Tributo which bridges a new design style that will continue to emphasize the main characteristics of Ferrari, namely high performance and extreme aerodynamic efficiency.
When designing Spiders the choice of the top will always play a fundamental role in the overall look of the car. Over the past few years, Ferrari has adopted a harsh upper section because of its comfort. Thus, the F8 Spider's line design is made based on Retractable Hard Top.
The key to the overall design lies in shifting the dividing line between the car body and the roof from its conventional position in the beltline to the top of the B-pillar. Thus, the top itself is more compact and has two dimensions, so it can be divided into two parts and stored on top of the machine.
The rear spoiler was completely redesigned, making it bigger and enclosing the area around the taillights, and visibly lowering the center of gravity of the car and allowing the return of the classic twin lamp cluster and matching colors between the tail and the body of the car.
This Ferrari F8 Spider combines the characteristics of the widely recognized 8-cylinder engine with unmatched driving comfort. The biggest achievement of the F8 Spider is seen in its ability to output power instantly without turbo lag while maintaining a unique and special V8 roar.
The dashboard is made of aluminum panels that support the center, extending to the dashboard itself. In order to create a light impression, a piece of carbon fiber is placed as a divider between the top and bottom, which forms the contour of the display. This section also includes an optional 7-inch screen. The dashboard is equipped with classic instruments with the main RPM.
The tunnel is clearly separated from the dashboard and located underneath it to reinforce the light impression that arises from the car's interior design. There is a kind of connector that looks floating and gives the cabin a contoured feel.
Ferrari did not mention the official price of the Ferrari F8 Spider, because the price of the car could follow the options carried by each car. Nevertheless, Ferrari currently provides support in the form of maintenance programs for the first seven years of the car.

Q: how to mark all implemented methods deprecated I have an abstract class with  a default method implementation which can be overridden by sub classes. But over time this method has become absurd ,so i marked it deprecated. But this warning is not visible for implemented classes. IT would be lot easier for other developers to easily find out deprecation warning and remove the method implementation and test their module.
So is there a way to mark all the implemented methods as deprecated in one go? My apologies in advance if this question is already present in SO.

A: Since the method itself is considered deprecated by you and we are talking about an abstract class, you are somewhat changing its purpose and/or conceptual logic, so you should apply the deprecated annotation to the abstract class itself, and create a new abstract class with the new appropriate set of abstract methods that should be implemented for future usage.
By doing this, any classes that extend it will trigger the appropriate deprecated warning in most IDEs.


This group was set up in 2008, to increase access to pump therapy across Scotland. They work closely with INPUT. Their site provides information on currently available pumps, with reviews, and some pieces of research in this area.
This website provides advocacy, support and information to those who live in Scotland and use/would like to use an insulin pump. I particularly liked the advantages and disadvantages to insulin pumps, giving a realistic insight into how insulin pump therapy could benefit people.

Updating your IRA beneficiary designation is an important step in the estate planning process. There are a number of reasons that you could potentially want to update your IRA beneficiary designation. Here are a few reasons to consider.
One of the best reasons to update your IRA beneficiary designation is because of a divorce. If you go through divorce, you do not want your ex-spouse to be able to have any access to your IRA funds after you pass away. Instead, you should quickly change the designation to one of your children or someone else that you want to leave your assets to.
Another potential reason that you might want to change your IRA beneficiary designation is because of the death of the beneficiary. For example, if you are married and your spouse passes away unexpectedly, you will want to change the beneficiary designation as soon as you can. Otherwise, the assets in your account might have to go through probate if you pass away before making the change.
You might also want to change the beneficiary designation on your IRA if you want to disinherit one of your children. By doing this, you will be able to avoid giving money to a child that you do not want to help financially.

Palestinians Celebrate Peres' Death, and What That Says About Peace
If even Peres, poster child for taking great risks for peace, is still reviled, then what hope is there?
By | September 29, 2016
While most of the world mourned the passing of Israel's elder statesman, Shimon Peres, many in the Palestinian-ruled territories were celebrating the death of a man they called "criminal."
"The Palestinian people are happy at the death of this criminal," said Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri. "Shimon Peres was one of the last Israeli founders of occupation."
Diana Buttu, a former spokeswoman for the Palestinian Authority, added, "Peres was an unrepentant war criminal."
Palestinian "president" Mahmoud Abbas was initially mum after Peres passed away, but eventually issued a lackluster statement calling the Israeli "a partner in making the brave peace."
What is concerning is that Peres was the poster child for that part of Israeli society that wants to meet all Palestinian demands, even if Peres himself didn't intend to go quite so far.
Peres often urged Israelis to take risks and make sacrifices for peace, even though the immediate reward was but the mere hope that the Arab side would reciprocate genuinely.
If Shimon Peres is still viewed with such hostility by the Palestinians, if his death is a cause for celebration in Gaza and Ramallah, then what hope is there that man's efforts for peace in the Middle East will ever truly bear fruit?

US Consumers Are Keeping a Close Eye on How Brands Handle the Coronavirus Crisis
They believe companies should provide meaningful solutions, not just sell things
The Edelman Trust Barometer 2020 Special Report on Brand Trust and the Coronavirus Pandemic highlights a need for brands to do the right thing. Edelman
By Mónica Marie Zorrilla
Key insights:
Brands should ensure their coronavirus-related messaging is factual and compassionate.
Survey participants have already scrutinized brand reactions to the COVID-19 outbreak.
People expect the global socioeconomic and political challenges posed by the coronavirus crisis, as well as the existential threats of widespread illness and unprecedented isolation, to be tackled by brands, not just the government.
A recent survey of 1,000 people in 12 countries, including the United States, U.K. and China, on brand trust and the COVID-19 pandemic from the 2020 Edelman Trust Barometer found there's an almost unanimous worldwide belief that brands have a critical role during this trying time.
According to Edelman CEO Richard Edelman, if you were ever in doubt that brands matter, the new data from this research reveals "the power and necessity of brands as well as their urgent need to act."
"Brands that act in the interest of their employees, stakeholders and society at large will reinforce their expertise, leadership and trust and immeasurably strengthen the bond they have with consumers," Edelman said in a statement.
Brands need to step up in light of COVID-19
About 1 in 3 respondents of the entire 12-market study have lambasted brands that did not act appropriately in response to the pandemic and the societal challenges it has posed worldwide.
Twenty-seven percent of participants from the U.S. confirmed that they had already reproved brands that they believed acted in poor judgement.
Nearly nine in 10 respondents from the global study feel that brands should not only tackle social struggles in light of the coronavirus outbreak, but also act accordingly to safeguard the financial security of their employees and suppliers. In the U.S., 44% of participants indicated that brands must do everything in its power to protect their workers and vendors—even if it means suffering monetary losses—in order to earn or keep their trust as consumers.
Brands should to use their influence to educate and empathize
According to Edelman's CEO, the U.S. market is high in politicization and low in media trust, which means that brands are expected to fill in those informational gaps and take on a new role as reliable news sources.
In fact, 34% of U.S. survey respondents indicated that brands must keep people informed about the virus and the progress being made in the fight against it in order to earn or keep their trust. Similarly, 33% of U.S. respondents agreed that brands must serve as educators and offer people vital information about the virus and how to protect themselves from it in order to earn or keep their trust.
Survey respondents also want brands to use traditional media outlets, such as television, radio or newspapers, email and the brand's website to communicate updates.
Trust and willingness to purchase are on the line
The impact the pandemic is already having on consumer trust and willingness to purchase products from said trustworthy brands, according to the study.
Twenty-nine percent of U.S. survey respondents have already begun using a new brand due to the innovative or compassionate way they have responded to COVID-19, highlighting the influence favorable brand reactions to the pandemic have had on decision making and buyer loyalty.
Sixty-one percent of U.S. survey respondents agree that how well a brand responds to this crisis will have a huge impact on their likelihood to buy that brand in the future. 65% of global participants from the entire 12-market study agree with that sentiment.
Fifty-five percent of U.S. respondents indicated that at this time, they are turning to brands they feel they can absolutely trust more often.
Sixty-nine percent of U.S. respondents said that, in the future, they will absolutely not choose brands they see placing profits before people during the pandemic. Stakes are high and according to the survey's results, trust will be lost forever if brands do not handle COVID-19 appropriately.

I am an artist whose joy comes with writing words!
I specialize in custom calligraphy. I have been continually studying traditional and contemporary calligraphy for 30 years with master calligraphers and artists from the United States, Britain and Europe. Calligraphy is especially appropriate for celebrations. Your stationery will announce your unique event from the moment it arrives in your guest's postbox. Not only that, it is an instant keepsake of the occasion. Custom lettering can be applied to lots of surfaces including: paper, fabric, leather, stone and wood. I teach calligraphy in my Whiting Mills studio and in the community.
My personal work includes painting on paper and silk and book making. It often begins with writing down a word, or a sound, or a dream and morphs to an image. I try to capture a passing moment, the slippery thread of a dream, the catch of a feeling, or a snippet of thought that has taken me out of time, place, and the robotic processing of the "to do list". Painting is a way for me to declare my uniqueness and my commonality. Making things helps me to think about the world and allows me dream with my hands.


Sam's started in operation in 1990 with its first restaurant in Wealdstone,Harrow,Middlesex. It has expanded since then to more than 34 outlets nationwide though its main presence is in London.
Sam has developed his own secret mix of spices that goes into the flour preparation and the process of cooking that gives the crispy golden brown chicken product lines, which holds the key to its business success.
Sam's has expanded so far through franchising its successful product. To ensure that the quality and service that has come to be associated with Sam's are maintained by the new franchisees, the expansion is being carefully planned and managed.
SAM has had other business interests but his ambition and dream has been to establish Sam's as a Brand. Sam's business idea began when he was working with Kentucky Fried Chicken (UK) as their Deputy Operations Director. He felt that with significant freedom of his own business he could achieve much more by putting in place his own ideas. As such, he left them and started the hard work back in 1990. Today his Sam's stores have shown to succeed even where established brands have outlets in close proximity.
The necessary infrastructure to expand the Brand has been established. The special seasoning (secret-recipe) breading-mix manufacturing supplier is in place, the structuring of the distribution and logistics operations have been completed (there are expansion plans for the warehousing operations), and now Sam's is prepared to roll out as many franchise stores as possible nationwide.
Sam's chicken product line is prepared following a special method of food preparation, which involves the breading of the fresh chicken pieces with a secret blend of seasoning or breading-mix before it is slow-roasted at an appropriate temperature to ensure that the chicken pieces retain the natural juices and flavour, and so remain succulent on the inside. However, the breading mix and cooking style helps develop a crispy, golden brown coat on the chicken piece. This gives the customer a more satisfying experience in eating the product. The Sam's facebook and customer emails bears witness to this fact.
This is an essential ingredient for success. Sam's takes this so seriously. It ensures that all store supplies are from vendors that have satisfied the quality standards stipulated by Sam's. This also helps keep costs down by ensuring higher volumes from a selected few suppliers. Sam's ensures that the stores receive the benefits of its suppliers by incorporating a requirement that it supplies all store supplies.
To ensure that the customers have an enjoyable experience whether when they visit our takeaway or restaurants, the team serving the customers are put through a rigorous training regime and are regularly checked to ensure they maintain the required level of service and conduct at all times. All stores would be visited without advance warning at any time to ensure the standards are maintained at all times by any of Sam's appointed personnel as a "Mystery Customer".
To ensure that all stores have the right ambience and meet the highest standard and health and safety requirements, whilst keeping costs under control, Sam's has enlisted a specialised store conversion team (approved architects and construction firms) to handle all its store refurbishments. This keeps conversion times to a minimum, reduces conflicts and ensures all stores meet the same high Sam's standards, in addition to all Health and Safety and Building regulations.To ensure that there is continued compliance to product quality standards there will be operational audits to ensure compliance.
As at present, there is already sufficient interest without any advertising from potential franchisees but this may change in time.
When contacted for the first time, the Franchisee is expected to furnish an return the Franchise applicaion form. Armed with these preliminary facts, the Franchise Relation Manager will brief the applicant on all aspects of the business, finances, health and safety, franchise terms and conditions. Next, the Franchisee is vetted and whilst that is being carried out, there is an ongoing dialogue between both parties to identify possible store sites and address any queries from the applicants from their evaluation of the franchise agreement with their own legal advisers and accountants. If the vetting phase is successful, Sam's will interview the applicant. During which process, any concerns can be clarified by both sides. Subsequent to the above assessment, a decision will be made by Sam's on whether to accept or reject the application.
If successful, the applicant will be informed of the decision and appointments made to evaluate possible store sites. Though Sam's will furnish inputs on the sites of the store, the final decision on the store site will be that of the franchisee. However, if Sam's has strong objections to any site then the Company reserves the right not to enter into a franchise contract. One particular case would be if the store site is too close to another of Sam's franchisees. Then since the whole process from shop fitting and equipment to training is standardised and already organised, the shop opening should not be as stressful as it would be otherwise. With the exception of any peculiarities to any particular site, different Council or planning regulations no other problems are normally expected.
Thereafter, the Franchise Relation Manager will ensure that the needs of the franchisee's are met and that all product quality and quality service issues highlighted to the franchisee for corrective action. It is made very clear to the franchisee from the very beginning that it is imperative that the Sam's operational and service standards are maintained.
In this regard, Sam's has a comprehensive standards manual a copy of which will be available to all stores. Franchisee receives assistance from purchasing of supplies right up to sales and marketing the business. This model has been refined over the last few years and is working very successfully. However, from the lessons learned in some instances over the years, Sam's has added more services in-house in order to assist franchisees meet the required standards to succeed in this very competitive industry.
Sam's can boast that to date there has not been a single franchise store closed due to inability to make a decent bottom line. On the other hand, there has been expansion by existing franchisees where single store franchisees have grown into five and six franchise store operators.

'Gilmore Girls': EW Exclusive First Look Inside Stars Hollow
By EW Staff
Updated September 08, 2016 at 08:00 PM EDT
Kelly Bishop, Lauren Graham, and Alexis Bledel
Robert Voets/Netflix
Three generations of Gilmore women — Emily, Lorelai, and Rory — will come together once again when Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life debuts on Netflix in November. And, sadly, they'll be mourning the lost of patriarch Richard (actor Edward Hermann died in 2014). The trio is clearly visiting a cemetery in this exclusive photo from the show's return.
Alexis Bledel, Lauren Graham, and Scott Patterson
It's only right that Rory (Bledel) and Lorelai (Graham) still get their coffee at Luke's (Patterson), as seen in this exclusive pic. But just because you see Luke and Lorelai gabbing here doesn't mean that's the point of the revival. "I would be remiss if I didn't say that [Rory and Lorelai's] main strength, even if they believe in true love, is that they have themselves and they have each other," Graham tells EW. "The show is sneakily feminist in that it's always been great for them to have love, but they're also okay when they don't. ... I think that's an underlying message of the show."
Rory and Lorelai Return!
CHRIS CRAYMER for EW
It's been nine long years since Lorelai and Rory Gilmore left our screens, but let's be honest, they never left our hearts.
Continued on next slide.
Thanks to avid fan campaigning (and Netflix!), Gilmore Girls is back in business – and EW scored an invitation to Stars Hollow for this exclusive first look.
Coffee, Anyone?
Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel were photographed exclusively for EW by Chris Craymer on March 13, 2016, in Los Angeles.

"You know how you finish college and you're a few years older and you're like, 'I wish I could go do this now 'cause I would appreciate it so much more and understand it and get more out of it'? That's the opportunity I have this with and I appreciate every day that I'm here," Graham said of the experience.

Though we wouldn't dare spoil top-secret plot points, we did get intel on Rory and her career...
Lauren Graham and Scott Patterson
... the status of Lorelai and Luke's (Scott Patterson) relationship...
Kelly Bishop
...and Emily's life as a widow. (Edward Hermann, who played Emily's husband Richard Gilmore, died in 2014, though he's honored throughout the movies.)

The sun is shining…..ok, just about, but after months of casseroles I was craving a tasty wee salad. This is so wonderful and you could serve it with any meat or fish….or just on its own!
Take all of the above ingredients and put in a clean jam jar and shake vigorously. Alternatively put all of the ingredients into a bowl and use a small whisk until the ingredients all come together nicely.
I simple chopped it all on a board and gave it a toss then drizzled over the salad dressing. Boom!
Any left over dressing keep in the jar in a fridge for a few days.
Feel free to add or takeaway ingredients. Radish or avocado would work well too!!

Camden shocks Camden Catholic, 14-9
Denzel Satterfield intercepted the football and looked up.

In front of him was 97 yards of open field.
And an upset for the ages.
"I was shocked," Statterfield said.
It was a common emotion Saturday afternoon as unranked Camden stunned No. 1 Camden Catholic, 14-9, in an Burlco/Olympic Conference inter-division opener at Farnham Park.
Satterfield's big play with 5 minutes, 51 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter was just the last of many during the hot, humid afternoon by the Panthers.
Darryl Perry ran 14 yards for a touchdown in the first half, and Camden's defense kept the heat on Wisconsin-bound quarterback Joe Brennan and the rest of the highly-touted Camden Catholic offense.
"I told them if they believed in themselves and fought for each other, they would win this game," Camden first-year coach Durwin Pearson said.
Brennan completed 14 of 32 passes for 99 yards with three interceptions. Brennan also sustained a thumb injury that forced him to miss a few plays in the fourth quarter.
"We just didn't execute on offense," Camden Catholic coach Rick Brown said. "We couldn't get off the press coverage and we made a lot of bad reads."
With Brennan as well as senior tight end/defensive end Sherard Cadogan, who is being recruited by the likes of Wisconsin, Pitt and West Virginia, Camden Catholic was No. 1 in the preseason rankings in South Jersey and No. 3 in the state, according to the Star Ledger of Newark.
But the Irish struggled to generate any offensive continuity against Camden's aggressive defense. Camden Catholic's points came in the first quarter on a safety as well as an end-around touchdown pass from Anthony Townsend to Terrance Casper.
"It's my fault if we weren't ready to play," Brown said. "It's my job to keep them from reading their press clippings. That will be fixed next week."
Perry, a linebacker, and end Jamil Davis played strong defensive games for Camden.
Sherard was a game-long force at defensive end for Camden Catholic.
Camden cut a 9-0 deficit to 9-8 when Perry pushed several tacklers into the end zone on his touchdown run and quarterback Sherman Robinson ran for the two-point conversion with 8 minutes, 10 seconds remaining in the second quarter.
But it still was 9-8 when Camden Catholic was facing a 3d and 8 from the Camden 11-yard line with a little more than six minutes remaining in the fourth quarter.
Brennan's pass sailed over his intended receiver, and Satterfield made the catch on the 3-yard line. The Camden senior raced down the left sideline, in front of the Camden Catholic bench, for the winning score.
"I knew I had to score," Satterfield said. "I had to do it for my team."
Camden Catholic 9 0 0 0 - 9
Camden 0 8 0 6 - 14

CC: Terrance Casper 29 pass from Anthony Townsend

"We didn't have Diaz last year. We didn't have a guy that did that. The way he went about his business last year and was probably the best closer in baseball, to take him out of that role would be tough," Callaway said. "He knows he's got the ninth. He's going to go out there and pitch well in the ninth for us. He knows what to expect going in."
Diaz's arrival is one of the reasons the Mets believe their bullpen will rebound in 2019, and the new-look unit could be the best in the NL East. The Mets also brought back former closer Jeurys Familia, and added lefty Justin Wilson.
The three all pitched in Saturday's 8-7 loss to the Astros with Diaz throwing a scoreless inning and Familia and Wilson each allowing two runs in one inning.
"It will be fun. We got a great bullpen," Diaz said after walking two batters and striking out one. "Wilson, Familia, (Robert) Gsellman and (Seth) Lugo, I feel pretty happy to be here with them in New York. I'm happy to here with them this season."
A leaky bullpen has contributed to the Mets' struggles the last two years, forcing new general manager Brodie Van Wagenen to invest significant resources into the unit this offseason. Acquiring Diaz from the Mariners cost a 2018 first-round pick Jarred Kelenic, a consensus top-100 prospect.
Familia signed a three-year deal averaging $10 million per year, and Wilson signed a two-year, $10-million deal in late January.
Those three, along with Gsellman and Lugo, give the Mets a bullpen that has five legitimate options. But it's Diaz who is generating the most buzz.

The 24-year-old led MLB with 57 saves last year while posting a 1.93 ERA. He's yet to hit his prime and the Mets have him locked up for the next four years.
The Mets held Diaz back to start their Grapefruit League schedule, and he finally appeared in a Mets uniform for the first time Saturday.
He walked the first two batters before ending his day with a strikeout. He admitted he was a little excited which led to his mechanics being off.
"Electric stuff. It looks hard from the side over there. It comes in hot, it has great ride to it. When he clicked the sliders, they were really good," Callaway said. "A little rusty because he hasn't pitched in a game until today for a while. He'll get it all honed in and get it over the plate an be aggressive. The stuff is great."
Callaway said Diaz would be open to being used at any point, but the Mets believe that they have the proper pieces to avoid meltdowns in the bridge innings.
Gsellman, Lugo and Wilson should handle the sixth and seventh innings depending on the matchups, and, on most days, Familia will handle the eighth inning.
Those four each have closing experience.
Last year, the Mets had Familia as their closer, Anthony Swarzak as their setup man and Jerry Blevins as a lefty specialist. The latter two were unreliable and ineffective.
"It's the four other guys we have in front of him that we feel can put out those fires that we feel some of these other teams probably don't have the luxury to have," Callaway said. "And they kind of have to use their best guy in the highest leverage situation in the seventh or eighth or whatever. I feel like we have five deep that no matter who's coming up, we're going to be able to get those guys out."
This will be Diaz's first time in a baseball-craved city after spending his first three years in Seattle, and he will learn early that blown saves lead to boos.
There have been too many games over the past few seasons that featured a dominant showing by a starter only for the reliever to blow it.
Diaz, after his dominant season, is meant to be the answer to that problem, provided the Mets can get him the ball in the ninth.
"I don't think it's pressure," Diaz said of joining a new organization. "I just have to do my job. I know what I have to do on the mound so I come in with the same mentality, attack the hitters and get in front in the count and end it."

Why Von Miller Thinks 30 Sacks In a Season Is "Definitely Doable"
Von Miller seems to have little doubt that 30 sacks in season can be done. But is such an outlandish number really possible?
Von Miller believes that 30-plus sacks in a season is achievable.
It's a startling figure when you consider that the current NFL single-season record is 22.5, set by Michael Strahan in 2001. Thirty sacks wouldn't just beat the record—it would destroy it. It'd be like an MLB player hitting 97 home runs in a season to beat Barry Bonds' single-season record of 73.
But Miller has no doubt that it's possible.
It's a startling figure when you consider that the current NFL single-season record is 22.5, set by Michael Strahan in 2001. Thirty sacks wouldn't just beat the record—it would destroy it. It'd be like an MLB player hitting 97 home runs in a season to beat Barry Bonds' single-season record of 73.
"I think it is (possible)," Miller said during a recent media availability. "You've got to come out and get 10 in that first month, which is doable. You get two-and-a-half and then get two-and-a-half the next game and two-and-a-half the game after that. You might miss a game and then you get two-and-a-half again and you have 10 in five games. Then you get three, two, three. It's definitely doable."
Miller estimates he only gets five "open rushes" per game—that is, chances to rush the quarterback on a passing down where he's not facing a double team.
"Teams are going to chip you, that's definite, that's just the gospel right there," Miller said. "But you've got to take advantage of those opportunities. If you get five open rushes, you've got to win all five of those rushes. Out of five you might get two or three sacks out of those, that's the math that I have," Miller said. "Out of all the rushes in the game, all of the plays in the game, out of those five plays, you've got to get home on those plays. It's definitely doable."
If anyone can achieve 30 in the modern NFL, it's probably Miller. He's a 6-foot-3, 250-pound man who runs a 6.70 3-Cone Drill (faster than Le'Veon Bell) and possesses the elasticity of Gumby. Miller worked like an animal this offseason, pushing his body to a "spot where it's never been before" to ensure he can stay on the field for as many snaps as possible. He reportedly showed up to training camp with 6.3 percent body fat.
The NFL has never seen a sack specialist quite like Miller before. Could he eventually record 30 sacks in a season? It's unlikely, but not impossible.
