Nigeria: Groups Urge Central Bank Chief Godwin Emefiele to Join Race for Presidency

By Derrick Bangura.
The Mass Interest Project (TMIP) and The Youth For Transparency Initiative (TYTI) have both called on Godwin Emefiele, the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), to run for President in 2023.
The Mass Interest Project has asked Emefiele to enter the presidential election in 2023 by throwing his hat in the ring.
TMIP said in a statement titled "The Charge 2023" released over the weekend that the country's next president should be an experienced entrepreneur or business leader and that the person best suited to take over the mantle of leadership in the country was none other than CBN Governor.
In a statement issued yesterday in Kaduna, President of the TYTI, Koko Umar, said the CBN governor was one of the great Nigerians who had proved competence and capacity in public service and should be trusted with the country's leadership.
According to the group, Emefiele's accomplishments as governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria qualify him to run for president in 2023.
"The Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Dr. Godwin Emefiele, is one of the great Nigerians who has contributed to the country's progress," the group said.
"As expected, there is already tension across the country," according to TMIP. Nigerians are beginning to feel the heat as political gladiators take to the hustings, refining their skill to know how to play the game with merciless efficiency, from East to West, North to South.
"These are men and women who are specialists in political trickery, intimidation, and blackmail, as well as the acts of violence, which they readily use to extract retribution or force conformity to their will and want."
"They're also good at making promises they can't keep or don't have the resources to back up." They have ruled the coast since the First Republic, Second Republic, Third Republic, and the Fourth Republic, and have continued to do so until the current political dispensation.
"On our journey to greatness, we, the people, work to create the Nigeria of our dreams!" We march, defending the vision and liberty to build the Nigeria we believe in, not as career politicians, but as citizens with an equal stake in this Republic.
"Yes, we're on the move, looking for our country's future leader." We've identified a man who has a demonstrated track record of devotion, patriotism, and appreciation of the importance of long-term growth. A man whose name implies a meeting with fate.

"Godwin Ifeanyichukwu" (Godwin Ifeanyichukwu) Would you like to lead our people on this march for a better Nigeria, Emefiele? Would you like to take the helm of The Charge 2023?
Similarly, the TYTI stated that since his appointment as governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria in 2014, Emefiele has worked tirelessly to establish a solid financial system that would help the country's economy grow.
"His tireless efforts at the central bank have aided the Nigerian economy in navigating turbulent economic hurdles to growth and inclusion in policy formation and implementation."
"Under Emefiele, the (CBN) is more people-oriented, with policies and programs geared toward assisting small businesses and job development. Under his tenure, the CBN implemented a number of initiatives aimed at boosting the economy, creating jobs, and pulling people out of poverty. Under his leadership, the CBN established 37 intervention funds aimed at boosting the economy and reducing unemployment.
"Through development finance initiatives, the bank granted N756.51 billion to 3,734,938 smallholder farmers, with N120.24 billion extended to 627,051 farmers under the Anchor Borrowers' Programme (ABP) for the 2021 Wet Season," the organization stated.
According to the organization, this has revolutionized rice production in Nigeria, saving the country about N356 billion in annual rice importation costs, which had previously harmed local production.
"The rice pyramid, which was recently displayed in Abuja, is proof that we have broken the rice importation chains," it stated.
The statement also praised Emefiele's work on the National Youth Investment Fund (NYIF), which saw the CBN distribute N3.0 billion to 7,057 beneficiaries, including 4,411 individuals and 2,646 SMEs.
"Under the Creative Industry Financing Initiative, N3.22 billion was disbursed to 356 beneficiaries spanning the movie production, distribution, software development, fashion, and IT verticals" (CIFI)
"The CBN also disbursed N923.41 billion to 251 real sector projects under the N1.0 trillion Real Sector Facility, of which 87 were in light manufacturing, 40 in agro-based industry, 32 in services, and 11 in mining."
Under the bank's Healthcare Sector Intervention Facility, the CBN disbursed N98.41 billion for 103 health projects (HSIF).
"These are only a few of Emefiele's many accomplishments during his seven years at the top bank.
"His substantial support for the Nigerian economy through the use of intervention money to stimulate growth is commendable.
"He has proven to be a dedicated and committed public servant with a track record that will go down in history."
It is for this reason that the TYTI is pleading with Emefiele to run for president in 2023."
The group urged the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to nominate Emefiele as the best candidate for the presidency in 2023, stating that "Emefiele is the best because he has exhibited competence and capacity that qualifies him to be President of Nigeria."
Several organisations have been calling for the CBN governor's declaration of interest in the 2023 presidential election for the past several weeks, claiming that the country has reached a point when technocrats are needed to take over the reins of power and shepherd it out of its current dilemma.

Today at Computex, Corsair announced a new line of SSDs. This 4th generation line will sport a new controller made by Link_A_Media Devices (LAMD). Their announcement boasts a System On a Chip (SoC) design, but that's the way most modern SSD controllers are architected. The new controller has the following claimed specs:
Neutron (Standard):
90,000 read / 85,000 write IOPS (assumed 4k random)
555MB/s read / 370MB/s write (sequential)
Neutron GTX:
90,000 read/write IOPS (assumed 4k random)
Here's a few quick pics:
The drives meet all of the typical SSD wickets, such as TRIM support and a generous 5-year warranty. The specs do look very good, but the proof is in the benches, which we hope to see shortly.
Full press blast follows after the break:
Corsair Unveils 4th Generation SSDs with Exclusive New Link_A_Media Devices Controller
– Corsair Announces New Flagship Neutron Series GTX SSDs at Computex 2012 –
Taipei, Taiwan — June 5, 2012 — Corsair®, a worldwide designer and supplier of high-performance components to the PC hardware market, today announced the Neutron Series™ solid-state drives (SSDs), the industry's first consumer SSDs to feature the LM87800 6Gb/s SSD controller from Link_A_Media Devices (LAMD), a leader in the development of semiconductor SoC (system on chip) solutions for the enterprise and mobile storage market. Also available in an extreme performance Neutron GTX model, the new SSDs bring professional-grade performance and reliability to PC enthusiasts, content creators, and IT professionals.
Available in capacities of 120GB, 240GB and 480GB, Neutron Series GTX SSDs are designed with toggle NAND flash memory to deliver up to a super-high 90,000 random read and write IOPs (input/output operations per second), which speeds up data-intensive tasks like video and image editing. These drives also provide superior sequential speeds of up to 555 MB/s read and 500 MB/s write, for lighting fast file access. The standard Neutron Series models, available in 120GB and 240GB capacities, provide up to 90,000 random read IOPs and 85,000 random write IOPs with sequential speeds of up to 555 MB/s read and 370 MB/s write.
All Neutron Series models incorporate LAMD's powerful on-the-fly error correction and advanced NAND management technologies which improve the endurance of onboard flash memory, giving the SSD's enhanced reliability and durability. The Neutron Series GTX drives also include adaptive DSP technology which maintains superior performance throughout the lifetime of the SSD. Neutron Series and Neutron Series GTX models are backed with a 5 year warranty.
Neutron Series SSDs provide impressive read and write speeds with both compressed and non-compressible data regardless of file type. This is a significant advantage compared to other SSDs on the market which offer quick load times with compressible files, but get bogged down significantly when reading compressed data such as video files.
"The Neutron Series SSDs, a strategic collaboration between Corsair and LAMD, reflects the shared commitment to performance, quality, and reliability ingrained in our companies," said Thi La, Vice President of Memory Products at Corsair. "Together we've raised the standard for SSDs, and we have more exciting products on the way."
"LAMD has built our reputation engineering high-performance, high-reliability SSD controllers for mission-critical enterprise storage solutions," said Dr. Hemant Thapar, CEO of LAMD. "Now, with Corsair's commitment to delivering innovative, high-performance SSD solutions, we are pleased to bring our advancements in SSD technology to all PC users."
The new SSDs bring broad compatibility for desktop and notebook PCs thanks to their standard 2.5" form factor and slender 7mm height. The thin design fits most standard notebooks as well as the latest generation of slim notebook designs. The drives also come with a 3.5" adapter to allow easy mounting in desktop PC drive bays. Neutron Series also support the latest high-speed SATA 6Gb/s and SATA 3Gb/s standards as well as the TRIM command to provide the fastest possible speeds.
Neutron Series SSDs are expected to be available in July. Pricing will be announced upon product release.

Former Kenyan Premier League side Tusker are set to host the 2017 Malawian Airtel Cup champions Silver Strikers FC in an international friendly match.
The game will be staged on Friday at the at Ruaraka grounds in Nairobi. The buildup match will be the first real test for Tusker ahead of the 2018/2019 Kenyan Premier League season set to kick off on December 8.
Tusker head coach Robert Matano will use the game to test his new signing as the Brewers readies for the new campaign which is barely two weeks. The game will also give Matano a sense of what he should expect from his players in terms of squad competitiveness.
Silver Strikers FC have won eight Malawian Premier League titles, two Malawi FAM Cup, one for BP Top 8 and lastly the recent Airtel Top 8.
The Malawian's representatives at the 2018 CAF Confederations are heading to Gabon where they are set to play Cercle Mberi Sportif on 27th November.


The five-minute video showing the plans to build a futuristic city inside Manila left many Filipino netizens in awe.
It is said that the New Manila Bay-City of Pearl would be the most advanced of its kind once completed. A smart and sustainable city anchored on artificial intelligence and other cutting-edge technologies.
In QII 2017, the concept of the project was revealed by HPA Designs an urban development firm based in Hong Kong. The construction of the city began in QIV 2017 after initial reclamation of land was set. It was designed to be a shell-shaped smart city and will be the most advanced in the whole South East Asian upon completion.
It was expected to be completed between 2034-2035. It would provide an entertainment hub that would include shopping malls, stadiums, world-class convention centers, and casinos. Many people were skeptical about the People's Republic of China's involvement in this project. Nonetheless, the city is expected to provide jobs to hundreds of thousands of Filipinos.

Here's why vaccines are being offered in such high volumes this flu season
You might have noticed many more full bottles of the new pre-emergent flu vaccine being offered to school-age children in Canada this month.
Dr. Eileen Lafferty, director of the Hospital for Sick Children's Immunization and Infection Prevention Unit, told The Washington Post that the national health agency, Public Health Ontario, "indicated they wanted to get an approved vial into our hands" as soon as possible in response to a national outbreak of measles that resulted in four cases and the canceling of all school absenteeism in the area last month.
Measles is highly contagious, and generally appears at about age 2. There are several strains, including one that hits kids, young adults and pregnant women at the most vulnerable times.
One common method for fighting it is a three-shot vaccine for infants – but only when the child is 1 year old, which means many parents may be ready to give the vial to their kids to start them off as soon as possible.
So here come the full bottles.
After announcing its intention to vaccinate pre-school kids for the first time, the Ontario government committed to offering the vaccine free to children, regardless of where they lived.
Public Health Ontario CEO Dr. Diana Bee told the Montreal Gazette this month that vaccines "end the epidemics that we can never control" – and that can be a refrain when it comes to influenza.
According to public health data, 2.6 million Canadians contract influenza every year, along with roughly 4,600 people who die.
"We have enough vaccines to save all the cases," Bee told the Gazette. "Whether we can contain them or not, people say, 'Well, you're going to have an epidemic.' The fact is, we're not. If we were, it would take a long time to get through our entire supply chain."
The problems with flu are that it circulates throughout the population every year and that the majority of cases aren't the serious ones. Symptoms include fever, sore throat, cough, runny nose, muscle aches and general tiredness. It can take a few days for flu to set in, but once it's here, it lasts through the end of the season.
It's called the wave effect, because flu seasons come in waves. In Australia's 2018-19 flu season, authorities reported four common strains, and four confirmed deaths in children under 5 years old in New South Wales, Australia's most populous state. In England and Wales, there were three deaths, and one in Scotland.
And yet last week in Florida, at least 14 children under 5 years old died from flu-related complications, according to reported cases last week.
Lafferty said so far she has seen no evidence that any of the country's school districts are canceling classes due to flu this flu season, but she wants to see whether a seasonal trend emerges.
Measles and flu are extremely contagious. Measles are highly contagious, and generally appear at about age 2. There are several strains, including one that hits kids, young adults and pregnant women at the most vulnerable times.
The reality is that no vaccine will eradicate what she calls "a completely avian virus," one "that genetically will never pass humanly, never transmitted to humans unless a virus enters us."
Lafferty told the Post that when there is a particularly virulent strain, there is some evidence vaccines can work – but it is slim.
That's what is driving the decision to offer the vaccine to pre-schoolers – and to vaccinate at any age.
The viral epidemic can't be controlled with a handful of shots, she said.
"You can't be smart enough," Lafferty said. "You can't train enough people – it can't be the case."

Home Asia Third Palestinian youth killed by Israeli military
Third Palestinian youth killed by Israeli military
A group of Israeli soldiers stormed al-Aqsa Mosque.
The al-Aqsa mosque, in an atmosphere currently very tense, was attacked on Tuesday, March 12, by a group of Israeli soldiers.
Israeli special forces attacked the esplanade of the Muslim holy site through its various gates before beating Palestinian worshipers, including women, guards and mosque personnel. Four Palestinians, including two women, were arrested.
The Israeli military closed all the doors of al-Aqsa and expelled the worshipers after beating them with sticks.
In the West Bank, the Israeli military killed a young Palestinian man by accusing him of wanting to carry out a martyrdom operation.
Israeli media published an image of this young Palestinian shot with a bullet in his chest. The Israeli regime tries to make believe that the victim wanted to attack the Israeli military with a knife while no soldier was injured.
Meanwhile, Moussa Mohammed Moussa, a 23-year-old Palestinian boy, succumbed to his injuries. He was wounded by the Israeli military during the March of the Great Return, in the center of the Gaza Strip.
Yesterday, Monday, March 11, Bassam Sami Safi, another 22-year-old Palestinian youth, succumbed to injuries sustained by the Israeli military during a march of the Great Return March.
In other words, three young Palestinians were killed in less than 48 hours by the Israeli army.
More than 260 Palestinians have been killed and around 14,000 wounded since the start of the March of the Return, March 30, 2018.

Greencastle, Indiana wanted to make their new parking structure stand out while adding a creative element to the surrounding architecture. Working with Gibraltar Construction and Ratio Architectural Firm, Americlock provided vital feedback on how to build a clock tower that would withstand the test of time while adding a little extra flair. The tower came to life using images from the architect's rendering and Americlock's CAD drawings. Using CAD drawings was important on this project to ensure a proper fit between the different parties working on the clock tower. While working with Americlock, the client was able to keep the project on time and, most importantly, within their budget.
The skeleton of this clock tower began to take shape starting with an aluminum frame. 6061 aluminum extrusions were used to prevent rust on the inner workings of the tower. Covering the aluminum is 1″ weather treated plywood sheathing screwed into the frame followed by a layer of tar paper. Next, Americlock built custom .040 copper clad canister clocks to integrate into the tower. The copper was left without a clear coat or lacquer finish in order to allow the clocks to patina naturally along with the rest of the tower. Over 100 copper diamond shingles completed this beautiful tower. Meticulously laying these diamond copper shingles on the roof, Americlock started from bottom to top taking careful steps to make sure all areas were properly flashed to keep water out. The shingles were also left to patina naturally, allowing the clock tower to age gracefully. Inside, LED lights illuminate the clocks so they can be seen from afar at night while giving the client a zero maintenance lighting system. The lights will turn on in even the coldest of Indiana nights without the flickering issues of fluorescent lights or the discoloring of neon lights. Additionally, the LED lights used are low voltage and energy efficient, saving the client money over the long-term.
Installation took place with Americlock factory installers leading the charge. Using a template, they drilled holes into the concrete tower to mark where the anchor bolts holding the new copper tower would be placed. Gibraltar Construction then assisted in carefully lifting the tower into place. With everything fitted in, the next step was to complete the wiring. Since the client could not house the controller in a climate controlled environment, Americlock brought that to them by way of a fiberglass heated and cooled enclosure. The enclosure allowed the client to house the controller in a locked and protected space while keeping it the proper temperature. Once all the wiring was completed, the clocks were turned on. Overall, the project went very smoothly thanks to the proper planning and coordination between all companies involved.
The end results were immediate to the client and they were thrilled. They had chosen the right clock company to work with to ensure an on time and on budget delivery that the community will enjoy for years to come.

Shaadi.com Removes Skin Tone Search Filter. But What About All the Other Offensive Filters?
Image Credit: Hitesh Sonar for The Swaddle/Emojipedia
Yesterday, following Internet backlash from users, popular Indian matrimonial website, Shaadi.com removed a search filter on its website that allowed people to look for potential matches based on their skin tones.
Since 2008, Shaadi.com has been the leading matrimonial website for Indians worldwide, and currently, claims to have over 35 million users. Recently, Hetal Lakhani and Meghan Nagpal, two of the marriage portal's users, came together to start an online petition urging the company to remove its complexion filter. This feature asked people to categorize themselves as 'fair,' 'wheatish,' or 'dark,' and allowed users to search for partners based on that descriptor. Initially, when Meghan emailed Shaadi.com about the discriminatory filter, their representative responded saying it is a filter required by most parents. But after a petition on Change.org protesting the filter rapidly gained traction, the company removed the feature overnight.
While this is a positive development, it barely scratches the surface of the deep-seated problems with matrimony in India, which are propagated by these online portals: by passing on prejudices across generations. Before the advent of the internet, the matrimonial ads carried by newspapers would read something like: "Very fair divorcee boy earning 18 lpa (lakh per annum) wants to marry very beautiful girl," or "Fair, h'some, unmarried, well-settled Guju 47/5'8″ seeks rich business industrial family girl." Now, catering to these societal biases is even easier through search filters provided by matrimonial websites.
In a country already suffering from deep religious divides and caste hierarchies, matrimonial websites have been widening the gaps further by letting people choose a partner on the basis of their preferred religion and caste. Removing these filters from matrimonial websites isn't the solution to deep-seated bigotry, but that can't be an excuse to propagate them either. As Hetal told BBC Asian Network regarding skin color, "People have their biases. But a company should not inculcate that culture."

On Shaadi.com, there is currently a filter that lets users set height preferences for prospective matches. In addition to that, in 2015, the company made another grand announcement: "Earlier Shaadi.com members could only specify the community, religion, qualification, etc., while searching for a partner online. But now, you can also find a match based on the annual income."
Instead of appreciating human beings for their personalities, characters, and value systems, which arguably, are all traits that are relevant for a life-long partnership — matrimonial websites reduce people to filtered search results on a screen. And, these filters are based on arbitrary and offensive categories like religion, caste, height, annual income — none of which are parameters to determine a healthy marital life. For instance, it might be more helpful for a woman to know what her prospective husband's stances on domestic violence or marital rape are, rather than his height or his caste.
But India is gradually waking up to the biases that are practiced and perpetuated regularly. Recently, Bollywood celebrities were called out for their hypocrisy and performative wokeness in protesting racism when they've been endorsing skin-lightening products in the country for years. Then, last week, Johnson & Johnson decided to take its skin-whitening products off the shelves in Asia and the Middle East. And, while these changes are indeed welcome, they won't immediately change the mindsets that had spawned their existence, in the first place. We still have a long, long way to go until we can truly call ourselves a 'woke' society — structurally, systemically, as well as socially in all our day-to-day interactions and life decisions, like choosing a life partner, for example.
"Shaadi.com removing its color filter doesn't change the reality that people will continue to anchor desirability and suitability onto people's skin colour. But it will stop giving users the option to discriminate on the basis of something so shallow and arbitrary," the petition read. Discouraging these biases is, certainly, a good first step. But, it's hardly time to stop and celebrate yet.

Martin Eisengrein
Learned Catholic theologian and polemical writer; b. December 28, 1535; d. May 4, 1578
Eisengrein, MARTIN, a learned Catholic theologian and polemical write; b. of Protestant parents at Stuttgart, December 28, 1535; d. at Ingolstadt, May 4, 1578. He studied the humanities at the Latin school of Stuttgart, and the liberal arts and philosophy at the University of Tübingen. To please his father, who was burgomaster of Stuttgart, Eisengrein matriculated as student of jurisprudence at the University of Ingolstadt, May 25, 1553, but before a year had passed he was at the University of Vienna, where he took the degree of Master of Arts in May, 1554. During the tolerant rule of Ferdinand I, Eisengrein, though still a Protestant, became in 1555 professor of oratory and, two years later, of physics at the University of Vienna, a Catholic institution. Though his Catholic surroundings and especially his frequent intercourse with the Jesuits of Vienna may have had great influence in bringing about his acceptance of the Catholic Faith, still his conversion was one of conviction, as is apparent from his numerous controversial writings and his scrupulous solicitude for the integrity of Catholic Faith and morals at the University of Ingolstadt. His conversion took place about 1558. In 1559 he received a canonry at St. Stephen's in Vienna, and a year later he was ordained priest. In 1562 he went to the University of Ingolstadt whither he had been invited by the superintendent of the university, Frederick Staphylus. He was appointed pastor of the church of St. Maurice, which was incorporated with the university, and in April of the same year he was elected rector of the university. Besides being professor, he devoted much of his time to the study of theology and, after receiving the degree of licentiate in this science on November 11, 1563, he began to teach it in January, 1564. Duke Albert V of Bavaria chose him as councillor, appointed him provost of the collegiate church of Moosburg, and shortly afterwards of the collegiate church of Altotting and the cathedral church of Passau. In 1563 and 1564 he took part in the politico-religious conferences at the imperial court of Vienna; in 1566 Duke Albert sent him to Pope Pius V to advocate the appointment of Prince Ernest as Prince-Bishop of Freising, and in 1568-9 he was imperial court chaplain at Vienna. In 1570 he was appointed superintendent of the University of Ingolstadt, and henceforth he turned his whole attention to the advancement of the university.
Just at this time the friction between the lay professors and the Jesuits, which dated from the time when the latter began to hold professorial chairs at the university in 1556, threatened to become serious. In 1568 Eisengrein and Peter Canisius had peacefully settled certain differences between the two factions, but when in 1571 Duke Albert decided to put the poedagogium and the philosophical course into the hands of the Jesuits, the other professors loudly protested. By his tact Eisengrein succeeded in temporarily reconciling the non-Jesuit professors to the new arrangement. Soon, however, hostilities began anew, and in order to put an end to these quarrels, the Jesuits transferred the Poedagogium and philosophical course to Munich in 1573. It seems that the Jesuits were indispensable to the University of Ingolstadt, for two years later they were urgently requested by the university to return, and in 1576 they again went to Ingolstadt. In the settlement of the differences between the Jesuit and non-Jesuit professors, Eisengrein always had the welfare of the university at heart. He publicly acknowledged the great efficiency of the Jesuits as educators in an oration which he delivered before the professors and students of the university on February 19, 1571, and he was pleased to see their influence gradually increase at Ingolstadt. There were indeed, some differences between Eisengrein and the Jesuits in 1572, but the estrangement was only temporary, as is apparent from the fact that he bequeathed 100 florins to the Jesuit library.
The greatest service which Eisengrein rendered the University of Ingolstadt was his organization of its library. It was owing to his efforts that the valuable private libraries of John Egolph, Bishop of Augsburg, Thaddeus Eck, chancellor of Duke Albert, and Rudolph Clenek, professor of theology at Ingolstadt, were added to the university library. Eisengrein's activities were not confined to the university. By numerous controversial sermons, some of which are masterpieces of oratory, he contributed not a little to the suppression of Lutheranism in Bavaria. Many of his sermons were published separately and collectively in German and Latin during his lifetime. Some have been edited by Brischar in "Die kath. Kanzelredner Deutschlands" (Schaffhausen, 1867-70), I, 434-545. He is also the author of a frequently reprinted history of the shrine of the Blessed Virgin at Altotting (Ingolstadt, 1571) and a few other works of minor importance.

Here is a copy of Chris Claremont and Jim Lee's X-Men #1 from 1991. With a print run of 7 million copies. And on sale at Books-A-Million.
According to the lady. The person who sold them the book received 10% from what they would sell it at.
Firstly, getting only 10% is a terrible deal. Usually. But since that comic goes for $1-3 on eBay, maybe it was a brilliant deal if the seller to the store got $55.

A quiet little nonprofit intent on making a big impact.
Nameless Sound is one of many small but vital nonprofits inhabiting Houston's performing arts community. Its primary mission is connect children in inner city neighborhoods with music that is significant to their cultural heritage through workshops and afterschool programs. They also stage regular performances by local and visiting artists from all over the world in musical genres ranging from blues, to jazz, to improvisational experimental sound performances. As a nonprofit arts organization, Nameless Sound manages to do quite a lot on a tight budget, partly out of the generosity of dedicated patrons, and mostly out of the intense passion of its volunteers.
Over the years Nameless Sound has approached me to do the artwork for their annual awards dinner, a significant event in their fundraising. The individuals honored represent the best in talent and generosity Houston has to offer. It's inspiring to be part of this organization.


21st July 2018, Santander: Another full day of games with plenty at stake here in Santander at the EuroHockey U18 Championships, girls. The Pool C was wide open overnight, so both games (Spain v Belarus and Ireland v France) were crucial to determine the lineup for the next U18 Championships. The Dutch dominated the final against first-time finalists Belgium to lift the Cup for the 8th time.
The Netherlands dominated from the start with a classy display of hockey. Belgium certainly didn't play badly and matched the Dutch in their intensity and pace, but in the D where it really mattered, the Dutch were clinical in their finishing. VAN DER VELDT opened the scoring in the 11th minute, a rebound from a pc. OMRANI in the 26th, this time a well-worked deflected corner. FOKKE in the 29th from a solo run to bring the score to 3 without reply. A scramble in the front of goal in the 39th minute saw BEETSMA with the tap in. VAN DER VEERDONK got on the scoresheet courtesy of a rocket from a pc. A deflated Belgium were disappointed with the game, but overall happy with the tournament performance to take silver for the first time in the history of the event.
The bronze medal game was closely fought. Germany's STOFFELSMA put them ahead at the start of the second half. A darting run along the backline and a shot with a difficult angle. England levelled the game MCCABE as she got on the end of a long pass from HAMILTON in the 4th quarter. Germany pushed forward but a turnover saw England go ahead again, a tap-in from VANDERSTICHELE. England was forced to defend deeply, as Germany took off their keeper and had the advantage of an additional field player, but held out for the win and the Bronze medal.
Spain was almost secure in the Championship division before the game. But the locals were determined to top pool C after the disappointment of missing the semi-finals. They took the lead via BARRIOS in the 24th minute. STRAPPATO scored a hattrick to secure a comfortable win against Belarus. Spain will stay in the first division and Belarus is relegated to the Championships II.
Ireland only needed one point to finish second of pool C and play the next edition of the Championships I. An early goal from PRATT put Ireland into the lead in the first quarter. The Irish team scored the second goal in the second quarter but France pulled one back to make it 2-1 at halftime in favour of the Irish team. Ireland increased their lead in the third quarter with 3 additional goals. France got one back in the 43rd minute, while Ireland down to 10 (green card). A late goal from LE NAOUR in the last quarter gave hope to France but the final score was 5-3 for Ireland. France is relegated to the second division of the Championships.

Buh-Bye: Dali Hook Splits Up
Dali Hook Partners is no more, as co-founders Paul Dali and David Hook appear to have gone their separate ways. Dali is now in charge of successor firm Keynote Ventures, while Hook is running a separate entity called Baymark Partners.
The two venture veterans formed Dali Hook in early 2001 to make early-stage investments in communications, software and semiconductor companies. Menlo Park-based Dali previously had been the founder and managing general partner of Convergence Partners, with past GP experience at both Nazem & Co. and 3i Group. Dallas-based Hook had worked at Mohr Davidow Ventures in the mid-1980s, before co-founding a firm named Hook Partners.
Dali Hook soon added venture partner Haru Kato, and then closed its inaugural fund with nearly $70 million. Like most 2001-vintage funds, Dali Hook invested in its fair share of since-deceased dogs, but it also had its fare share of M&A liquidity events (although some of those might have been better characterized as asset disposals).
The firm added Alessandro Biral in 2003, and then last year raised around $40.3 million for an annex fund from LPs like Adams Street Partners and Harbourvest. A related regulatory filing just lists Dali, Katu and Biral – with David Hook only present as a masthead namesake. The final public mention of Dali Hook came on February 7, when LoadStar Sensors announced that the firm had participated on a $7 million Series B round. Since then, the website has been redirected to the new Keynote Ventures page, without mention of either Hook or the Dallas office. A source familiar with the situation says to expect a Keynote fund offering shortly, while Hook is currently looking to staff up.
I've left voicemail messages for both Biral (Dali is out this week) and Hook, and will update if/when I learn more…


LYONS — Peak to Peak's Anna Shults has a history of stress fractures in her feet dating back to her eighth-grade and freshman seasons, so this winter the junior distance runner opted for more of a preventative training strategy.
Forgoing indoor track and field over the winter months, Shults instead competed in club Nordic skiing. While still getting the opportunity to prepare her body for the rigorous spring track and field season, Shults gained the added benefit of giving her feet and legs a much-needed reprieve from the constant pounding that running demands.
So far in 2018, it seems as though that method has paid off.
At the Lyons Invitational on Saturday, Shults won the 800-meter race with a time of 2 minutes, 17.66 seconds. Not only did she outpace a loaded field, Shults also ran Colorado's third fastest 800 time of the season thus far.
"I hit the first split I was going for in the 400," Shults said. "I feel pretty good about getting a 2:17 this early in the season because I didn't do any indoor track and just skied over the winter with a few of my Boulder friends. Now it's all about getting back into training and getting back into racing. I know the times will come later."
The fast overall pace of Saturday's 800-meter race helped Shults meet her early-season expectations. Pumas teammate Tiana Bradfield finished runner-up to Shults with a time of 2:18.64, which is now the fourth fastest time in the state. The field also included Roosevelt's Madi Kenyon (2:19.74) and the fifth fastest time, Niwot's Maggie Smith (2:20.18 at Windsor Invite) and her ninth fastest time, Boulder's Claudia Burgess (2:21.49) and the 13th fastest time, as well as Monarch's Hailey Leader, who ran the state's 14th fastest time of 2:21.
Also helping Class 3A Peak to Peak finish 10th in the team scoring, two-time cross country champion Quinn McConnell won the 1,600-meter race in 5:07.79.
"This year we're really focused on bonding as a team, especially the top four girls," Shults said. "We're all really close and we're trying to stick together so we can help each other in races. That's a big goal of ours. Everyone on the team is really focused not just on ourselves, but on the bigger aspect that is the team."
Led by Mary Gillett's meet record (56.60) in the 400, and freshman Taylor James' meet record (5 feet, 3.5 inches) in the high jump, the Niwot girls won the team competition by 24 points over runner-up Lutheran. The Cougars also won the 800-meter relay and set a meet record of 4:05.19 in the 1,600-meter relay.
"Taylor James is really improving," Niwot head coach Maurice Henriques said. "She was up to 5-4 last week and today she runs the 4-by-8 and still comes back having an 800 on her legs and was still able to perform in the high jump. That's a good sign from a freshman. She's going to be a big part of our season and we expect her to be a big contributor at state."
Monarch sophomore Mia Manson's time of 12.29 in the 100-meter dash and mark of 16-11 in the long jump each would have been meet records had she not finished second to nationally-ranked Maya Evans from Lutheran in both events. Manson, who won the 5A pole vault state title last spring, took first in the event on Saturday.
The Broomfield girls were sixth as a team, led by their 3,200-meter relay team - Katelyn Mitchem, Vanessa Kort, Lauren Felknor and Madison Mooney - setting a meet record of 9:30.62.

Documents are the main material of international politics. Yet, scant attention has been paid to how to analyze them. In an upcoming talk I will draw on my ethnographic research on the Contact group on Piracy off the Coast of Somalia (CGPCS) to argue that we should pay more attention to the practical logic of documents, that is, how they are actually produced. I revisit the main forms of document analysis and then provide a discussion of the production of the CGPCS' main document, its so-called "communique". I shall show how what the CGPCS does and how it works can be understood by paying close attention to this production process. The talk is part of the research seminar series of the School of Law and Politics. It takes place 13th April 2016 @ 1:00pm, 1.28, Law Building, Museum Avenue, Cardiff. All welcome.

Cykelhjälm är en typ av hjälm som ska skydda huvudet vid cykelolyckor. Den är i allmänhet gjord av en kärna av cellplast med ett skyddande yttre hårdplastskal. Den inre cellplasten kan formas och gjutas tillsammans med det yttre skalet så att de bildar en enhet; tekniken kallas 'inmold' (engelska för 'i form').

Historik

Förr i tiden användes cykelhjälmar främst av tävlingscyklister, vilket återspeglas i designen av dagens cykelhjälmar. Innan  1970-talet användes en form av cykelhjälm gjord av stoppade läderremmar som såg ut som ett kraftigt hårnät. Denna form av hjälm skulle främst skydda mot skrapsår och dylikt.

Vardagscyklisters användande av cykelhjälmar tog fart i USA under 1970-talet. I Sverige gjordes en av de första moderna cykelhjälmarna, tillverkad i cellplast, 1980 av barnsäkerhetsföretaget Akta. Genom kampanjer och lagstiftning har cykelhjälmar sedan blivit vanligare bland vardagscyklister, framförallt i utlandet.

Användning
År 2013 bar 36 procent av alla cyklister i Sverige hjälm enligt VTI:s observationsstudie. Störst var användningen i gruppen barn 6–12 år som cyklar till och från skolan (nära 85 procent).

År 2010 intervjuade försäkringsbolaget Trygg-Hansa 1 020 personer och de som inte bar hjälm angav ett eller flera skäl till det. 54 procent svarade att de alltid har cyklat utan hjälm, 28 procent tyckte att hjälmen är besvärlig att ha med sig, 20 procent menade att det är obehagligt och 17 procent att frisyren blir förstörd. 71 procent i undersökningen ansåg det vara nödvändigt med en hjälmlag.

Lagstiftning

Standarder
Hjälmar sålda inom EU ska uppfylla de normer som fastslagits i direktivet för personlig skyddsutrustning, 89/686/EEG. Alla CE-märkta hjälmar uppfyller normerna i direktivet genom att klara standarden EN 1078 för vuxna eller EN 1080 för barn . Uppfyller hjälmen dessa krav får den säljas fritt inom hela EU. För att få märkningen måste hjälmarna klara ett test som innebär att de tappas från två meters höjd med en vikt i, motsvarande vikten av en människas huvud. Islaget sker i cirka 20 km/h och motsvarar att en fotgängare snubblar och trillar på huvudet. Barn ska ha hjälmar med grönt spänne med utlösningsfunktion. Den är konstruerad för att lösa ut vid viss belastning, till exempel om barnet skulle fastna och bli hängande i hjälmen.

Cykelhjälmar är funktionstestade genom att tappas från två meters höjd med en vikt i, motsvarande en människas huvud.

Cykelhjälmsanvändning i lag
I Sverige reglerades det den 1 januari 2005 i vägtrafikförordningen (SFS 1998:1276) att alla under 15 års ålder måste bära cykelhjälm när de cyklar eller blir skjutsade på tvåhjulig cykel. Det finns inga bötesstraff för den som är under 15 och framför cykeln utan hjälm, men däremot om någon över 15 skjutsar någon som inte har hjälm.

Australien blev 1990 första land i världen att införa lag på cykelhjälm. Nya Zeeland följde efter 1994.

Några få delstater i Kanada har hjälmlag införd vid olika tidpunkter från 1995 och framåt, främst för ungdomar och barn men även för vuxna i British Columbia

I Finland är det olagligt att cykla utan hjälm, men inte straffbart.

Israel luckrade upp sin hjälmlag 2011. Det blev då tillåtet för vuxna att cykla utan hjälm i tätort.

I Spanien måste man sedan 2004 ha hjälm på landsvägar, men inte i långa uppförsbackar, om det är väldigt varmt eller om man har medicinska skäl.

Tjeckien införde den 1 juli 2005 lag på cykelhjälm för alla under 18 år.

Skadefrekvens
Enligt sjukhusdata får 1 300 cyklister i svensk vägtrafik läggas in på sjukhus varje år för huvudskador. Den genomsnittliga vårdtiden är 1,7 dagar. Under den undersökta tiden hade 15-20% av cyklisterna hjälm.

Samtidigt cyklas det cirka två miljarder kilometer om året , eller femhundra miljoner cykelresor om året  i Sverige. Om man slår ut huvudskadorna på cyklandet blir det 1,5 miljoner cyklade kilometer per huvudskada, eller en huvudskada på 380 000 cykelresor.

Under åren 2007-2011 dog i genomsnitt 25 cyklister varje år i Sverige. Av de omkomna cyklisterna dog 70% i kollisioner med motorfordon.

Vetenskaplig forskning på hjälmanvändandets skyddseffekt

Skyddseffekt vid olyckstillfället
Studier från sjukhus visar att hjälmar har en stor skyddande effekt på både ansiktet och skallen. Cyklister som kommer till sjukhuset utan huvudskada har i högre grad använt hjälm. En australiensisk studie visade att frekvensen för skallskador i samband med cykelolyckor ökade med 5.6 gånger för cyklister utan hjälm jämfört med de cyklister som använt hjälm vid olyckstillfället. Enligt en översikt av sjukhusstudier i Cochrane Review kan hjälmen minska risken för huvudskador med 63-88 procent och ansiktsskador (övre och mellersta ansiktet) med 65 procent. Bland cyklister som skadas allvarligt i Sverige och som inte använt hjälm är huvudet den kroppsdel som skadats svårast i cirka 13 procent av fallen. Motsvarande andel bland hjälmanvändarna är endast 7 procent. En australiensisk studie visar att barns hjälmanvändande vid cykelolyckor minskar risken för huvudskador med 63 procent.

Ökat hjälmanvändande, fallande skadetal
En studie från Australien, utförd vid tiden direkt före och efter 1990 års införande av hjälmlag, visade att hjälmbruket ökade starkt i samband med införandet av hjälmlagen, runt 40 procentenheter. Risken för huvudskador bland cyklister i denna studie minskade inte mer än för andra trafikanter utan hjälm, som till exempel fotgängare och bilister. Den generellt minskade risken för huvudskador bland alla trafikantgrupper tillskrevs allmänna förbättringar i trafiksäkerheten. Senare Australiensiska studier har visat delvis motsatta resultat för tiden runt hjälmlagens införande, där huvudskador som krävde sjukhusvård minskade med 29% jämfört med minskningen av övriga cyklingsrelaterade skador.

Studier från Kanada före och efter en obligatorisk hjälmlags införande pekar på resultat där andelen barn med huvudskador orsakade av cyklingsrelaterade olyckor minskade med 45% i de provinser där tvingande hjälmlagar infördes mot 27% minskning i delstater utan tvingande lagstiftning. Minskningen av huvudskador skedde utan att cyklingen som aktivitet minskade. Studien visade en fallande trend för trafikskador överlag, och för alla trafikantgrupper, men andelen huvudskadorna för barn vid cykelolyckor minskade radikalt även justerat för detta. Liknande resultat visar en studie från Uppsala universitet; förekomsten av huvudskada bland barn som cyklar i Sverige minskade med 46 procent mellan 1988 och 1996 utan att cyklingen som aktivitet minskade. Förekomsten av skador på andra kroppsdelar låg stabilt under tiden, samtidigt som andelen barn med hjälm ökade. Denna studie jämförde inte cyklister med andra trafikantgrupper.

Cykelhjälmen och omkörningar
Ian Walker undersökte i en studie från 2007 hur stort utrymme bilisterna gav cyklisterna vid omkörning beroende på användning av hjälm samt avstånd till vägkanten (från 0,25m till 1,25m). Han fann att ju närmare cyklisten var vägkanten desto större utrymme gav bilisterna vid omkörning. Han fann dessutom att cyklister med hjälm gavs mindre utrymme än cyklister utan hjälm då avstånd till vägkanten var 0,25-0,5m och 1,25m men inte 1m. Slutsatsen blev således att cyklister som använder hjälm ges mindre avstånd vid omkörning. I en studie från 2013 återanalyserade man den data som användes av Ian Walker (2007), dock med grundligare analysformer. Man noterade att cyklister utan hjälm i medel gavs 5,8cm längre avstånd i samband med omkörning än cyklister med hjälm. De påtalar att rekommendationer om avståndet till cyklister vid omkörning tenderar att vara minimum en meter. Med detta som grund kritiserade de relevansen av resultatet att cyklister med hjälm ges ett något mindre utrymme än cyklister utan hjälm (i medel 5,8cm) då signifikant skillnad av avståndet enbart sågs när det mellan cykeln och det omkörande fordonet översteg 2 meter.

Ingen relevant skillnad i omkörningsavstånd för hjälmbärare
Ian Walker tog åter upp ämnet i en artikel från 2014 där han undersökte hur cyklisters klädsel och hjälmanvändande påverkade det utrymme som bilister gav vid omkörning. Det fanns sju olika typer av klädsel som benämns; Commute, Casual, Hiviz, Racer, Novice, Police och Polite, enbart Casual var utan hjälm. Medelavståndet som bilisterna höll vid omkörning för alla grupper var 117,5cm, för cyklist med klädseln utan hjälm så var siffran 117,61cm och skiljer sig således inte signifikant från totala medel. Antalet omkörningar med ett avstånd under 100cm för alla grupper var 34%, för cyklisten utan hjälm var siffran 33%. Inte heller här sågs alltså någon större skillnad och variationen var stor bland de hjälmbärande grupperna, från Police där siffran var 24,5% till Polite där siffran var 43,1%.

Riskkompensation
En norsk enkätundersökning på 1 500 cyklister visar att de cyklister som använder mycket utrustning, till exempel hjälm, cykeldator eller cykeljacka, också är de med en hårdare körstil och oftare hamnar i nära-ögat-situationer. Cyklisterna med utrustning gillar att det går fort och tycker inte om att bli fråncyklade. De hamnar oftare i situationer där de bedömer att det var "nära ögat".

Linjära och roterande kollisioner
Standarder för cykelhjälmar specificerar bara hur de ska klara linjära stötar, men även plötslig roterande acceleration kan ge upphov till hjärnskador som hjärnskakning, diffus axonal skada och subduralt hematom. Studier visar att de roterande accelerationer som uppstår vid cykelolyckor är tillräckliga för att orsaka sådana hjärnskador.  Det börjar dock utvecklas hjälmar som även minskar hjärnans roterande accelerationer vid olyckor.

Debatt om hjälmlagar och hjälmkampanjer
Lag om cykelhjälm har varit omdiskuterat i många länder, bland annat för att skadorna drabbar cyklisten själv och inte någon annan. Många har kritiserat lagstiftningar där vuxna inte behöver ha cykelhjälm medan andra pekar på att varannan omkommen cyklist är över 65 .

För
Trafikverket i Sverige säger att en sanktionerad hjälmlag i kombination med informationskampanjer behövs för att öka hjälmbruket till 70 % till år 2020.

NTF bedömer att mer än hälften av de cyklister som dör i trafiken skulle ha överlevt om de använt hjälm. NTF kräver en lag på att alla cyklister ska använda cykelhjälm, med argumenten att man vill minska samhällets kostnader och det mänskliga lidande som följer i cykelolyckornas spår.

Emot
2007 gav Statens vegvesen i Norge råd om att inte förbjuda barn eller vuxna att cykla utan hjälm, då man menade att en sådan lag riskerar att minska cyklandet och skada folkhälsan.

Svenska Cykelfrämjandet och Dansk Cyklist Forbund rekommenderar att man bär hjälm, men är motståndare till hjälmlag då det skulle minska cyklingen och därmed skada folkhälsan . Även Svenska Cykelsällskapet anser att hjälmar skyddar vid en kollision, men att en hjälmlag skulle skada folkhälsan . Det tyska cyklistförbundet ADFC menar att en hjälmlag skulle ge en nettoförlust för folkhälsan. Europeiska cyklistförbundet ECF och brittiska CTC är mot såväl hjälmlagar som hjälmkampanjer, bland annat för att kampanjerna överdriver riskerna med cykling och att de skadar folkhälsan. Det nyzeeländska cykelfrämjandet CAN menar att lagen om cykelhjälm inte fungerar som avsett och måste utredas.

Birthday card using the new Wishful Thoughts Stamps and Dies.
I love cards that allow you to showcase your papers. This paper from the Touchdown Paper Pad paired perfectly with the new Wishful Thoughts Stamps, Wishful Thoughts Dies, and Party Dies.
Join me on my blog for all the details!


Another comic rooted in reality. That's right, Gary Busey has his own awards show Hugo Chavez actually said that on Tuesday. This would make a great plot for Back to the Future Part IV: Martian Genocide where Marty McFly and Doc Brown travel 200,000 years back in time to bring an Econ 101 textbook to the capitol of Mars. Marty will, of course, make out with his mom again. It's OK, Steven Spielberg, you can use this idea free of charge. You're welcome.


It's time to review the DJI Inspire 2, we are going to cover all from people who have tried and tested both drones, we will talk about the Pro's and Con's and give you an honest option on this very high market Drone.
DJI keeps impressing me with technology specifications, the Drones are top quality and are rate number one in the world with Parrot following in second place.
Well you might be wondering why am i reviewing these Drones (well it is the best Drone that DJI has to offer on the market today so it is worth while for me review and compare).
This review also covers a lot of video so scroll down and watch them also (you will find they very interesting and full of information).
The Inspire 1 was a revelation and still is a very popular drone. The first film making drone in the world to integrate an HD video transmission system, 360° rotating gimbal and a 4K camera, as well as the simplicity of app control. The launches of the Zenmuse X5 and X5R cameras further cemented the Inspire as a critical tool for filmmakers around the globe unfortunatly the Inspire 1 has a 18 minute battery time which restricted the film time.
The Inspire 2 takes everything that was good about the Inspire 1 and improves it (this is what DJI do continue to impress). The image processing system Cine Core 2.0 has been upgraded to Cine Core 2.1,recording video at up to 6K in Cinema DNG/RAW and 5.2K in Apple Pro Res when used with Zenmuse X7 camera.
A dual battery system prolongs the flight times to a maximum of 27 minutes (with an X4S), while self-heating technology allows it to fly even in low temperatures.
An upgraded video transmission system is now capable of dual signal frequency and dual channel, streaming video from an on board FPV camera and the main camera simultaneously, for better pilot and camera operator collaboration.
As expected, the Inspire 2 can fly for a longer period of time, reaching 27 minutes of flight compared to 18 minutes for the Inspire 1.
Another neat advantage the Inspire 2 has over the Inspire 1 is the cold weather performance.
The Inspire 2 utilizes 2 onboard batteries that can be hot-swapped to maximize flight time. This provides it with 9 more minutes of flight time, a welcome addition for any drone pilot.
Looking at both drones, it's not easy to recognize how they differ in size and weight, especially because the differences are slight. The Inspire 2 is slightly bigger and slightly heavier than its Inspire 1 counterpart, weighing in at a stout 7.58 pounds, with the Inspire 1 tipping the scale at 6.27 pounds.
In terms of size, the diagonal distance of the Inspire 2 is just 1 inch more than the Inspire 1, at 23.8 inches. Finally, perhaps the most noticeable difference in these two drones is their color.
DJI has opted for a metallic finish for the Inspire 2, which photographers and videographers will appreciate over the stark white color of the Inspire 1, as it helps to minimize reflection in sunlight.
When choosing between the Inspire 2 or Inspire 1, speed is a huge component, as the Inspire 2 really shows its muscles, vastly improving upon the 49mph top speed of the Inspire 1 with a blistering 65 mph.
65 mph is an impressive top speed, and will afford filmmakers unprecented action sequences as they zoom around their subject. DJI also improved on the range, boosting the 3.1 mile flight capability to 4.3 miles. Once again, DJI has taken their original iteration and made dramatic improvements, to the joy of all DJI fans worldwide.
The latest update to DJI Light bridge technology has an effective transmission distance of up to 4.3mi (7km)* and is capable of delivering both 1080p/720p video as well as the FPV view to pilot and camera operator. Users can also switch between 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz** control frequencies to cut through noise for greater signal stability.
Integrated into the Inspire 2 is the brand new Cine Core 2.1 image processing system, which is capable of recording video in 6K @4.44Gbps CinemaDNG*1, 5.2K @2.08Gbps Apple ProRes*2, and H.265/H.264 @100Mbps. Cine Core 2.1 supports burst shots, capturing 10 JPEG + DNG bursts and continuous DNG bursts*3 at 20fps (24MP per shot) when the Zenmuse X7 is mounted. (Currently compatible with the X7, X5S and X4S*4. Please refer to Specs for the supported video formats of each camera).
Plain and simply (not to mention surprisingly), the Inspire 1 does not have any kind of obstacle avoidance.
DJI stepped up its game with the Inspire 2, offering 360° obstacle avoidance for complete protection from any collision. Its Forward Vision System is capable of sensing objects up to 30 meters away while traveling up to 34 mph. Upward facing infrared sensors on the Inspire 2 sense obstacles within a 5 meter range.
Plus, sensors on the underside of the Inspire 2 provide terrain detection. Both drones can hover in place without GPS thanks to DJI's Vision Positioning System (which also allows pilots to take off and land at the press of a button). It's unfortunate that the Inspire 1 doesn't utilize any obstacle sensing technology, the result of which is a drone that is not as safe and could be poorly suited for new drone pilots.
This category is a simple one to understand: the Inspire 2 is compatible with the transformative DJI Goggles, while the Inspire 1 is not, unfortunately.
DJI Goggles give pilots a truly transformative experience, putting them inside the Inspire 2 for a flight that is absolutely breathtaking. Imbued with Head Tracking Technology, the DJI Goggles will turn in the direction the pilot turns their head, providing complete control over the aircraft's movement.
A USB cable connects the Inspire 2 to the DJI Goggles, which operate up to the same transmission distance of the drone. If experiencing FPV flight is important to you, this compatibility is a huge factor when picking the Inspire 2 or the Inspire 1.
Although DJI thought ahead when designing the Inspire 1 by creating a gimbal capable of changing cameras, the Inspire 1 does not have an FPV camera like the newer model. The FPV camera allows for the pilot to see where they are flying while simultaneously relying on a camera operator to capture all the photos and videos.
Follow Me – Aircraft follows you and captures your every move from a unique aerial perspective. Course Lock – Controls are set relative to your aircraft's current path. Fly in a set direction while soaring alongside moving objects or fixed objects. Way points – Set multiple GPS points, or Way points, and the aircraft will automatically fly to them while you focus on controlling the camera. Home Lock – fix your controls to be relative to the Home Pilot. Easily pull back on the control stick to bring the aircraft back home, or push forward to fly farther away, no matter which way it is facing. Point of Interest – Set a specific building, object or location as the Point of Interest and the aircraft will continuously circle around it while you record the perfect photos and video.
One other new feature is Quick Spin, DJI's solution to not including continuous panning. When activated, Quick Spin rotates the aircraft 360°, working seamlessly with GPS, ATTI, Sport, and all Intelligent Flight Modes.
In addition to Spotlight Pro, a range of other intelligent flight and shooting modes are available. Obstacle avoidance is optimized when using Point of Interest*and Way point* modes, making complex shots simple and repeatable. Also available are Quick Spin, Tap Fly and Active Track, to simplify challenging shots.
The 2-axis on board FPV camera separates the flight view from the main camera view, effectively giving the Inspire 2 a dedicated Tap Fly camera. Tap a point onscreen in the FPV view to set a flight route and the Inspire 2 will automatically fly along that route, leaving the pilot to focus on gimbal movement.
The Active Track Mode allows the Inspire 2 to recognize a range of objects, from people to bikes to cars to boats. Tracking profiles that can be adjusted based on the subject being tracked means greater tracking precision.
Ultimately, the DJI Inspire 2 blows all competition out the water. It really isn't a fair fight. It crushes the competition with a combination of blinding speed, an assortment of great features, and beefy battery life. Plus, compatibility with DJI Goggles and a sleek new color result in the Inspire 2 cementing its place as the ultimate commercial drone. DJI has taken all of the wonderful features of their Inspire 1 and capitalized on them, making the Inspire 2 a truly valuable upgrade, in every sense of the word.
I will keep adding great reviews with video footage on all the latest drones and keep the best price and deals available for everyone.

A colleague visited the apartment of a deceased artist. Andrey Grigoriev-Apollonov captured on video the dwelling of the former soloist of group "Ivanushki International". Oleg Yakovlev was not on Thursday morning.
On Thursday morning died former soloist of group "Ivanushki International" Oleg Yakovlev. The artist's heart stopped. For days doctors struggled for his life. The man was taken to a medical facility with bilateral pneumonia. According to experts, he had pulmonary edema that was the cause of death.
A colleague musician on the team, Andrey Grigoriev-Apollonov still can't believe this is happening. The day singer left a touching post on the page in a social network.
"Fly snegirek, your voice and songs in our hearts forever," wrote Andrew.
In the evening Grigoriev-Apollos visited the apartment of the deceased friend. In the video, which he shared with fans, can be considered, in what conditions there lived a musician. The walls are decorated with paintings, icons, and on the windowsill is a photo. The design of the home is decorated in brown tones. As noted by Andrew, this is all that remains of the Oleg, in addition to music. The apartment Windows overlook the busy quay of Moscow river.
"Spent the whole evening today Olezhka home. The impression is that Oleg is now back from filming and we are waiting for him. Earth poplar fluff him," wrote Andrew.
Fans can't believe what happened and leave in the comments the words of condolences to relatives of Yakovlev. "Until now, the news of the death of Aleh seem ridiculous error!", "We grieve with them. I like the part of your soul taken away. Can't believe it", "With Oleg went the whole story. He was able to replace the irreplaceable! He became indispensable," "Olezhka, you're the best! Fly! Your songs are always in all hearts," wrote admirers of "Ivanushki International".

RedStorm men blank Warriors in home opener
By Randy Payton - For Ohio Valley Publishing
Rio Grande's Ewan McLauchlan works the ball away from an Indiana Tech defender during the first half of Saturday night's 3-0 win over the Warriors at Evan E. Davis Field.
RIO GRANDE, Ohio — Eduardo Zurita and Harry Reilly scored second half goals just 68 seconds apart, helping the University of Rio Grande pull away for a 3-0 win over the Indiana Institute of Technology in non-conference men's soccer action, Saturday night, at Evan E. Davis Field.
The RedStorm, which was making its 2018 home debut, improved to 3-0 with the victory. All three wins have been by shutout.
Indiana Tech was playing its season opener.
Rio Grande, which entered the match ranked No. 16 in the NAIA preseason poll, finished with a commanding 15-1 edge in shots overall, including a 9-0 advantage in shots on frame.
Zurita and Reilly's second half markers extended a 1-0 halftime lead for the RedStorm, which resulted from a goal by freshman Nicolas Cam Orellana (Santiago, Chile) with 24:27 remaining before the intermission.
Cam Orellana beat a Tech defender one-on-one inside the 18-yard box and scored off the dribble from about nine yards out in front of the goal.
That's how things stayed until Zurita – a senior from Sant Boi de Llobregat, Spain, whistled a shot from just inside the top of the 18-yard box past Tech net-minder Ivan Safranic and into the upper right corner of the goal for a 2-0 lead with 37:57 remaining.
Reilly, a senior from Coventry, England, set the final score just over a minute later by finding the back of the net off a touch from Cam Orellana.
Junior Richard Dearle (Castle Donington, England) posted a second clean sheet in his second start for Rio Grande, which also enjoyed an 8-2 edge in corner kick opportunities.
Safranic collected six saves in a losing cause for the Warriors.
Rio Grande returns to action next Friday when it travels to Goshen (Ind.) College for a 7 p.m. kickoff.

Letter from Ralph Vaughan Williams to Adrian Boult
Sunday [19 August 1934]
Dear Adrian
Many thanks for your letter.1 I am telling Isobel2 what you say & asking her to write to you. It is of course she & not I who have control over Gustav's music.
As regards my symphony I have been writing it for about 3 years now & I believe it is finished.3 I have made a 2 pfte arrangement & will get that tried through to see if I can bear it. But the situation at present is that some time ago before Sargent4 fell ill he asked me if I had anything new & I told him about this symphony - whether this amounts to a promise & whether he wants it even if it did I don't know - wd you like to get in touch with him?
The bits I have shown to people they do not like - Gustav heard it all in an early version on 2 pftes - & was puzzled by most of it & disliked the rest.5
1. See VWL1270 about the BBC's arrangements to commemorate Gustav Holst.
2. Gustav Holst's widow.
3. In his letter (see above) Boult had said that he had heard of a new symphony and asked about a possible performance. This was the Fourth Symphony, in F Minor, Catalogue of Works 1934/13. The first performance of the symphony was in fact given by the BBC Symphony Orchestra under Boult on 10th April 1935 at the Queen's Hall.
4. Malcolm Sargent.
5. Holst had criticised in particular some of the original ideas for the last movement as being somewhat superficial: see VWL1132.
Boult, Adrian, 1889-1983
