I think it's pretty safe to say that we're all pretty excited to see what Sony has to offer with their newest and, so far, greatest (read: most important) smartphone – the Xperia Z. This is a momentous occasion for any Sony fan, as this is supposed to be, even more so than all other Xperia phones that have thus far come out – the return of Sony to mobile providence since the days of Sony Ericsson.
That's not to discredit the previous Xperia phones – it's just that, as an American, it's important to make note of the fact that Sony phones seem distinctly rare in the States. That's a bit of a travesty, because we all know that the electronics giant is capable of putting out some great smartphone tech. Well, they have certainly set out to prove that with their newest flagship device. With the most power processing package available on smartphones today, the 5 inch screen that we will see a lot this year (whether we like it or not), a unique design, and even water resistance, the Xperia Z is trying to bring everything to the table all at once. Does it succeed?
The short answer – yes. In a lot of ways, the Xperia Z succeeds by doing something that we as smartphone consumers always appreciate – it gets certain key details right. Especially since other phones have been showing us some of the pitfalls to having a larger-than-we're-used-to screen, it is great to see that the Xperia Z tries to address them all.
Get your party hats out, everyone – this is Sony' s coming out party. Even though the top-tier smartphone market is getting pretty crowded, you can rest assured that the Xperia Z sits squarely amongst its competitors and peers. Don't forget to see the video review at the end if you want to see this sleek phone in action.
Both sides of the Xperia Z are encased in a tempered, shatter resistant glass (read:not Gorilla Glass) that already makes the phone look pretty darn sleek. That black slate look that I love so much is here, as the phone is, save for its various logos and legal information, completely black. On the front you don't even get any capacitive buttons because the Xperia UI has it built in like a Nexus device. The front camera is a 2.2 megapixel shooter powered by a EXMOR R sensor capable of HDR.
The back of the Xperia Z remains black throughout with the logo in the middle and the 13 megapixel EXMOR RS powered camera. It is mostly here that you will come to learn about your love/hate relationship with the beautiful design of this phone – the fact that the Xperia Z will be wearing your fingerprints all the time. I mean it – all the time. If you choose to brag about your phone to your friends, have a cloth handy.
Coming around the sides, we see that the rigidity of the design is somewhat softened by some fiber-like material (called polymide) that pretty much fills in the gaps left by all the glass panels and pieces. The other thing you will find is that there are no ports – at first glance. To help with the waterproofing of this phone, the Xperia Z comes with a myriad of covers for all of its ports and the goodies they hide underneath.
These goodies include a headphone jack at the top with both the microUSB port and microSD slot right around the corner. The opposite end has the slot for the microSIM that doesn't require a tool to get open – just use take off the cover and use your fingernail to pull out the tray via the small protruding section. At the bottom of this side is the speaker – it may not be a front facing speaker, but at least it's not on the back.
And lastly, we have the button layout. After the great looking design, this is next detail that I feel the Xperia Z gets right. 5 inch phones will be the story of 2013, typically meaning that we will all have to learn some hand gymnastics to use our devices effectively. Not with the Xperia Z, at least with its buttons. They are all found in the middle of the right side, with the volume rockers just below the only part of the phone that stands out like a sore thumb – the silver power button. Some might think it is a little tacky, to have a metal pimple on the side, but I have yet to hear it from anyone. It's a distinctive trait that I think Sony smartly added to what is supposed to be a uniquely awesome phone.
Thus, in the hand. this phone actually handles quite well for its size. The button layout makes those primary functions easy to reach – a feat that the HTC Droid DNA (with its power button top and center of the device) and even the Oppo Find 5 (with its mirrored Samsung-esque layout) cannot boast.
Having a quite literally rectangular design allows for the phone to simply sit rigidly in the hand. I have had no fears that the phone will slip out of my hands, though its love for fingerprinting could eventually lead to too much oil slicking (how's that for an image?). Your palm and fingers can easily grip the flat sides and a natural skin stick on the back makes some of the necessary hand gymnastics work well. And don't get it twisted – you will definitely need to put some work in the handling of this phone just like any other 5 inch screen devices.
Despite having the same pitfalls that all 5 inch devices have, this is pretty much one of the best looking and handling phones out there right now. If not just for the button layout, other manufacturers should take notice that this "boxier" look simply works and they should try it sometime.
What do 5 inch screens usually mean? Big resolution – 1080p worth. Sony isn't about to miss the bandwagon with their Xperia Z, and their Bravia pedigree gives them a bit of an edge. The result is a pretty great TFT capacitive display that unfortunately has a few minor but noticeable flaws.
1080p is a big deal for a number of different reasons – if you have a lot of video content or want to watch YouTube in glorious HD, the Xperia Z is like a Sony TV in the palm of your hand. It is a joy to watch media on this device and it's already obvious you will be getting a good viewing experience because the colors of the UI look very inviting and pleasing to the eye. If you have an eye for televisions, then you might know about Sony's insane refresh rates on their big screens. Well, you get a taste of it in the Xperia Z, as it is hard not to notice how HD videos take on that kind of smooth motion look.
Text is another mark of a good screen and the Xperia Z is bringing 441ppi to this game. Sharpness is about as good as you may have ever seen on a smartphone, rivaling the Oppo Find 5's great performing display. Zoom into some text and you will see how nicely this Sony beast renders it all.
Here is where the fun sort of stops, though – despite having the Bravia 2 engine to supposedly enhance the viewing experience, I found colors lacking a certain vibrancy and they almost look a little washed out. This is coincidentally the same experience I have had with Sony TVs – the refresh rate might be great, but the colors don't pop out at me. It is purely a personal opinion whether or not that ruins the experience, but it was just a little too noticeable to not mention.
Perhaps this washing out of colors is even better alluded to by the viewing angles. While not entirely poor, it is sad to see that the Xperia Z loses some of its display integrity when you angle it out of plain view. Things seem to take on a grayer tone, suddenly, when you are not looking at the phone dead on. This isn't that big of a deal until you get out into the open – direct sunlight already requires you to have the phone set to the highest brightness setting, but even at that point it can be tough to get stuff done if your eyes aren't making a laser line for the screen.
Aside from all that, there is the problem we already discussed before – because of the glass material, the display is also very fingerprint prone. If you don't take care to clean the screen often enough, your great looking videos will be hampered somewhat.
However, despite those few unfortunate gripes, the display is still a good performer that does what I think it sets out to do – make the Xperia Z a small taste of the full Bravia TV experience. A good example of this is the trailer for upcoming dance movie Battle of the Year – as an HD formatted video, you get the feeling that this is exactly the way Sony wanted it to look. And it does look pretty great. Whether or not these little nitpicks matter to you depends on what you look for in a display. I enjoy the Bravia look – even though it might be missing a couple specific things, it is still a greatly enjoyable viewing experience.
Let's start off with the internals and their subsequent performance. You might not really follow the Xperia Z closely, but if you follow the trends of top tier phones, then you know what to expect in Sony's flagship: the 1.5GHz Qualcomm quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro CPU backed by the Adreno 320 graphics package and 2GB of RAM. It is pretty much the standard of all top performing smartphones and it comes as no surprise that the Xperia Z sports it, as well.
That being said, the numbers don't lie- this is definitely one of the most powerful phones and everyone should take notice. Benchmark numbers are only one way of looking at the performance of the phone (the proof is in the usage) but the Xperia Z certainly did a great job of putting itself atop many of its rivals.
This is one of the first phones I have ever reviewed that scored over 20000 right in front of my eyes on AnTuTu Benchmark. LG powerhouses Optimus G and Nexus 4 just barely missed the 20k mark, so it's amazing to see the Xperia Z break that barrier with 20607.
Quadrant, on the other hand, gave it a score of 7914 – the Snapdragon S4 Pro typically scores in the 7000s, so the Xperia Z making it to the high end of 7k is a great feat, indeed. Epic Citadel is a great way of looking at the graphics performance, which was rated as very high – put in technical terms, the Xperia Z was able to render the entire Unreal Engine 2 powered benchmark at 57 frames per second.
And finally, a browser test by Vellamo Benchmark gave the Sony phone a 2189 score, which is almost 400 points higher than its current direct competitor, the Oppo Find 5. The Xperia Z, thus, has a great and fast browsing experience tucked into its built-in browser.
If Epic Citadel was any indication, gaming on the Xperia Z is a treat. While there might not be too many games currently in the Play Store that take full advantage of a 1080p display, that is set to change and I am sure that the Xperia Z will be able to hold its own. In the meantime, Temple Run 2 runs about as smoothly and crisply as you would want. Damn, is that game fun. It's no Super Hexagon, though.
2GB of RAM is available for multitasking, and another area of detail that Sony gets right is the utilization of it all. This is illustrated very well by the inclusion of Small Apps. If you are one of the few owners (at least by my estimation) of Xperia phones, you may be familiar with these small overlays that help you get things done over what you are already doing. Small calculator, notes app, even a quick voice recorder appear over your currently running application to help you be even more productive. Just go to the recent apps screen and pick one. So far, I have seen little to no problems loading them up pretty much anywhere – so if you want to make a quick note about a video you're viewing, go for it. Or crunch some numbers while you read some online WSJ.
In another great addition to the Xperia Z, Sony has put in a feature that many of you pine over – expandable memory. Seriously, this and removable batteries (note: this phone doesn't have one) are aspects that can make or break some people's opinions of smartphones. Anyway, you get a microSD slot here for all of your memory needs. It's a good thing to have for anyone that needs it, especially in my case since this unit came with only 16GB. There will be 32GB variants, however.
And finally we have the speaker. This does deserve a mention because it isn't relegated to the back of the phone. It is slowly becoming more of a trend to put the speakers on the front for a better listening experience, but in this case, the camera is on the very low bottom corner. That tiny speaker hole does get pretty loud, but it is very tinny and lacks clarity and fullness. One interesting thing about the speaker is that an extra driver seems to be located within the chassis, activated when the external speaker gets wet. I don't know how it knows to reactivate the outer speaker, but it is a nice feature to have as part of the water resistance.
The Xperia Z, undoubtedly, is one of the best performers in the Android market today. Sony has gotten a lot of things right with their newest and greatest device, especially with the inclusion of that microSD slot. You will have no problems getting through the typical day to day tasks on this device, and I think it would take a hellish amount of stress to slow this beast down.
While always important, battery life seems to have taken on a whole new importance especially with emerging 5 inch phones. As the HTC Droid DNA illustrated, being optimized isn't enough for extending general usage – you still need a bigger battery. The Sony Xperia Z, then comes with a 2330mAh performer that can't be removed from the unibody design. That does come at a bit of a bummer – we got the microSD slot, but not only would it be hard to have a removable back cover and water resistance, perhaps we have to realize that we simply can't win them all.
There have already been reports of mixed results regarding the Xperia Z's battery. It's not really all that negative, actually – mixed is a literal term here. While the talk time did last around the 16 hour mark, web browsing was also on par, with a final time of just over 6 hours. It was in the video playback, however, that the great results stopped. Clocking in at 5 and a half hours, the big display and perhaps somewhat the Bravia engine contribute to a time not quite indicative of the battery size.
I performed my own battery stress test, focusing on media viewing. Looping all of the included content, I indeed got 5 and a half hours out of the phone before it hit 5% and then blacked out soon after. While none (if not, very few) of us will probably have marathon viewing sessions like this, all of these tests show that the Xperia Z battery gets the job done, if without flying colors.
The HTC Droid DNA, despite its smaller battery, does work well through my days without much incident, so I don't see why this won't also be true for the Xperia Z. While charging every night will be required, that is a reality we basically have to live with all smartphone devices. At least you won't be caught with your phone off before the end of the day.
If there is one thing I always look forward to in the Xperia phones, it's the camera. In the old days, Sony Ericsson Cybershot phones were my jam, and I have nothing but high hopes that those days are far from behind Sony's pedigree. So, in the Xperia Z, you get a 13 megapixel rear shooter powered by the exciting EXMOR RS sensor. There's a nice feat in the front facing camera in the form of a 2.2 megapixel performer also powered by an EXMOR R sensor. It's a nice camera to use, though it certainly won't be great for more than the occasional video chat and self portrait.
The rear camera, however, is where it's at. As is the case with pretty much any smartphone camera, good lighting is required for good pictures. However, Sony has put in some of their point and shoot features into the Xperia Z camera app. Mainly, the Superior Auto. This feature allows for the exposure analysis to find the appropriate scene/settings for the frame. In cases when you are snapping people in a low light setting, the camera will automatically go for "Night Portrait." There are even profiles for pets, babies, and fireworks. For the most part, the camera app is pretty accurate, though manually tweaking these settings may seem moot when all you're going to do anyway is put an Instagram filter over your photo (sigh).
You can take 13 megapixel 4:3 photos, but Sony left the setting on this unit at the 9 megapixel 16:9 ratio. That's exactly my style, actually, so I just left it at that. As far as picture quality goes, this is definitely one of the better performers in the bunch that I've tested. I might not have had complete sunlight to make these pictures pop, but my overcast day in SoCal still came out very well and accurately captured the scene.
When a little more sun came out, I was able to take pictures of some flowers. Getting the focus right wasn't too troublesome, and once it was locked, the resulting picture brought out the proper vibrancy of the flowers and there was also a pleasant depth of field look. Zooming into the picture yields an acceptable amount of grain, though this obviously becomes more pronounced the more you remove lighting.
Finally, this is a low light shot to illustrate that point. Cut into this image is the same scene shot with the flash diode, which actually did a good job of illuminating the scene. It's still a pretty grainy picture compared to if the flash were not used and the scene was properly lit, but it gets the job done nonetheless.
As far as added features, there is HDR available as well as a Sweep Panaorama mode. I did not get to test the HDR feature (though I will be having a camera phone shootout soon) but the sweep panorama is a little bit of an odd one to me. You are supposed to sweep rather quickly, so getting a smooth transitioning shot is more possible, but the resulting photo always has a motion blur to it as a result. I don't know what was supposed to happen with this feature, to be honest. If you can't get clear panorama pictures, then what is it truly for? Novel, but a little confusing.
Finally, with video, you can have HDR turned on as well, but that was not tested in my time with the Xperia Z. 1080p video is possible in video recording, though there aren't any extra features beyond that. Nonetheless, it yields very good video that requires some stabilization to reduce the typical jello effect most handheld mobile cameras suffer from. There is a built in stabilizer, which is great, though posting the Xperia Z up on a tripod is probably still the best bet for steady shots.
Ultimately, you'll get one of the better smartphone cameras in the Xperia Z – while we still have a ways to go before DSLR quality is achieved, the Xperia Z remains as one of the best companions you can have: a great pocket shooter.
Before we start wrapping up, let's take a gander at the Xperia UI. Let's get one thing out of the way right away – this user interface looks a lot like the stock Android Ice Cream Sandwich. And for the most part, this is a good thing. The black and grey tones accented by white and neon blue hues make for a navigation experience that is very pleasing to the eyes. Also, with a few extra features thrown in, this simplistic but nice design remains functional.
As is becoming ubiquitous with Android operating systems, there is a power widget built into the notification dropdown. Modifying the homescreens with widgets and shortcuts is possible, but long pressing on a blank part of the screen brings up a couple new and welcome features. First of all, themes are also available along with the widget and wallpaper selections, which seem to change the wallpaper, the color of the accent hues, and… not much else. However, the real welcome built in feature is the ability to remove and add homescreens. While the standard 5 pages is pretty common, I personally like having only 3. I know some people who only like having 1. This is a nice feature to see appearing on third party Android operating systems.
You can easily arrange the app drawer in a few different ways, including alphabetically, by a simple dropdown above it. You can rearrange it manually by long pressing on an icon, but having to drag it up to the "Add to Home Screen" up top is a little different.
Ultimately, the general user interface takes on the design choices that Google put into its very successful ICS – and it simply works for the Xperia Z. A few other features from Google make it into this Xperia version of Jelly Bean 4.1, like Google Now. It works just about as well as ever, and is just as easily accessible by swiping up from the home button.
Speaking of apps, there are a few Sony-designed applications that are included. Aside from online purchase and streaming purchases, the classic Walkman application is available. Another old staple of the Sony Ericsson days was the Walkman phone (which I also owned at one point) and it is nice to see that branding live on. The Walkman app, then, is in line with the rest of the UI's elegance. You swipe left and right between albums and songs, displayed in a card-like fashion. After that, Sony's version of Beats, called ClearMusic+, adds clarity and richness (read: makes louder) to music and then a visualizer included if you find the regular area too bland.
And finally, I already mentioned the Small Apps earlier on – Sony's way of promoting multitasking through the usage of small overlays that go over what you are already working on. All in all, the software in the Xperia Z brings you good parts of the Android experience, like the general ICS aesthetic, along with some of the best that Sony has historically had to offer. It is a good package and is a good example of how not going too overboard can also be rewarded.
I got this far without even really mentioning the water resistance of the Xperia Z, but that should be okay – we know what to expect with it and while it is a great feature to have for those accidental spills and rainy days, it is really just one in a long list of things that Sony's new flagship phone gets right. Nonetheless, the Xperia Z can withstand up to one meter of depth in water and still remain functional after being pulled out of the depths. It is worth it to mention, for you adventurous types out there, that pretty much all functions of the phone are rendered inoperable when the phone is submerged – essentially, touches on the screen are no longer registered and without a dedicated camera button (which would have been a place for water to seep in) you won't be able to snap underwater photos.
Be honest though – you will be showing your phone off and it's fun to see people's eyes go wide when you douse your phone in water only to see it trudge on.
For a good number of people, this is the phone that they have been waiting for – beautiful sleek form factor that we don't see often enough, great specifications inside to make the performance last and go the distance, and the fulfillment of brand loyalty. Sony certainly isn't among the top names in the Android market, but that should change – at least somewhat – with the release of their greatest mobile device yet.
The model I used for this review came up to about $800 unlocked, which is, admittedly, an incredible price for a smartphone. Even though it is a top tier device, the Nexus 4s of the world have certainly spoiled us a little with their great price tags. Nonetheless, the Xperia Z is sure to hit various markets' shores in the coming few months and be ready and willing to contend with the likes of the LG Optimus G Pro and the elephant in the room, the Samsung Galaxy S4.
I don't normally give numbered ratings for phones – after all, experiences with a phone are a purely subjective matter and my goal is to present the facts and opinions I come across in the usage of a new device so that you can make your own assessments when the time comes. That being said, I have seen the Sony Xperia Z get quite a few rave reviews that score it around a 9/10. If I were to break my rule for once, I would simply just agree with those reviews. This is a phone just shy of 5 stars that deserves an incredible amount of credit – it's not just the phone that some of us have been waiting for, it's the phone that Sony has been absolutely anticipating finally releasing.
And if the scores across the interwebs, my experience, and the enjoyment I think you'd have with the Xperia Z are any indication, Sony has a lot to be happy about. Here's to hoping that the Sony Xperia Z makes it to the States in a big way on multiple phone carriers. If you feel the same way, let us know in the comments below and stay tuned for all of the best Android coverage right here at Android Authority.


You're almost done kegging your beer and have just transferred your beer from fermentor to clean kegs. Before you get to this step, you should have had your filters soaking in bleach solution for the prior week. If you were careful and did not pick up any yeast during the transfer, you should only need one pair of filters: 5 micron pleated coarse filter and a 1 micron fine filter.
Soaking filters in bleach water ready for use.
*Definitely get reusable filters and clean by back-flushing from prior use and soaking in bleach for a week (yes, it will take that long especially with more yeast). I have used my filters for 1 year so far.
**The colder your fermented beer is, the more clear you will filter and the less stuff will 'drop out' when you put it on tap.
Step 1 – Install filters and flush with water. Note, coarse filter is first and fine filter is last. Flushing will be with filtered water (that very left, white canister) and will last 5-10 minutes. Taste the water so that there is no chlorine taste left.
Step 2 – Unscrew and remove filters, pouring off water, install filters again (water will dilute the beer coming out). Hook up sanitized liquid lines: one going from full keg to filter, the second from the filter to a sanitized, empty keg. Attach CO2 line.
Step 3 – Turn on CO2 to push beer through filter. You will only need 2-4 lbs at the beginning – just a slow flow, no hurry.
Step 4 – You will have to collect about a 1/4 gallon of beer to discard as it will be the first 'watery' run-off. Reconnect and start final collection.
Filtering will take about 1 hour per 10 gallons. It will be slower if you collected yeast sediment. You may have to increase your CO2 pressure periodically to keep it flowing. I have gotten up to 40lbs before – that's when I know I wasn't careful enough and picked up a lot of yeast sediment. If you did everything right, you shouldn't have to go over 10-15 lbs of pressure.
THINGS I HAVE LEARNED TO MAKE THIS UBER EASY.
Start with the keg that collected the first 5 gallons of beer from the fermentor as it will be devoid of most yeast and make it easier and quicker to filter overall.
On the first keg, DO NOT let it run dry as it will create a bubbling, foamy mess and it may make filtering the 2nd keg harder. Essentially DO NOT WALK AWAY.
Yes, I use CO2 to push the beer. I first used the beer pump to push the beer when I started filtering. It was VERY ineffective and VERY slow. Don't use a pump to filter. Use only CO2.
You should only have to use one pair of 5/1 micron filters per 10-15 gallons. Though having an extra pair ready will be useful in case you get stuck.
When done filtering, backflush filters for about 5 minutes before putting in bleach water.

Обвалення житлового будинку в Серфсайді — техногенна катастрофа, яка сталася вночі 24 червня 2021 року в передмісті Маямі Серфсайді (Флорида, США). Унаслідок часткового обвалення дванадцятиповерхового житлового будинку станом на 12 липня 2021 року підтверджено, що 95 людини загинули та 11 отримали поранення. 14 людей залишаються зниклими безвісти. Одну людину врятували з-під завалів, а близько 35 людей було врятовано 24 червня з незруйнованої частини будівлі, яку через заходи безпеки зруйнували через 11 днів через наближення урагану "Ельза". 7 липня влада оголосила, що метою розшуку є перехід від порятунку до відновлення і що зниклі жертви вважаються мертвими.

Будівля
Житловий будинок Champlain Towers South розташовувався за адресою 8777 Коллінз Авеню на першій береговій лінії. Будівлю побудували 1981 року. У житловому будинку розміщувалося 136 квартир. За три роки до обвалення експерти виявили серйозне пошкодження конструкції .

Катастрофа і пошуково-рятувальна операція

Обвалення сталося приблизно о 1:30 за місцевим часом. Катастрофа потрапила на відео. Спочатку впала одна частина будівлі, приблизно через дев'ять секунд — друга. На місці обвалення почалася пожежа. Губернатор Флориди ввів режим НС.

Спочатку повідомлялося про одного загиблого і 156 зниклих безвісти. З-під уламків витягли 37 осіб, 11 госпіталізували.

До 27 червня число жертв зросло до 9. Вилучили 8 тіл з-під завалів, одна людина померла в лікарні. Місцезнаходження 150 чоловік залишалося невідомим. Серед зниклих безвісти — щонайменше 31 виходець з країн Південної Америки, включно із сестрою дружини президента Парагваю.

27 червня до пошуково-рятувальної операції приєдналися рятувальники з Ізраїлю. У розборі завалів також беруть участь рятувальники з Мексики.

До пошуків залучені понад 800 рятувальників.

Відтак до 30 червня число жертв зросло до 18 осіб. Серед них — двоє дітей у віці 4 і 10 років.

1 липня президент США Джо Байден прибув на місце трагедії. Також цього дня розбір завалів припинили через загрозу подальшого обвалу та погодні умови. Через 15 годин роботи відновили. До Маямі насувався тропічний шторм «Ельза», що міг ускладнити пошуково-рятувальні роботи. 2 липня влада уточнила місцезнаходження 15 осіб, які раніше вважалися зниклими безвісти, а кількість жертв зросла до 22.

Наступного дня, 3 липня ще двоє людей були знайдені мертвими в суботу під завалами будинку, а кількість жертв зросла до 24. 7 липня рятувальники відмовилися від подальших пошуків вцілілих при обвалі багатоквартирного будинку.

Розслідування
Глава округу Маямі-Дейд Даніелла Лівайн-Кава заявила, що немає свідчень того, що обвалення було викликане навмисно.

За місяць до обвалення на даху будівлі проходили ремонтні роботи.

За три роки до обвалення експерти виявили серйозне пошкодження конструкції. Повідомлялося про необхідність усунення тріщин у колонах і стінах підземної парковки. Через кілька днів після обвалення в будівлі повинні були початися ремонтні роботи. Мешканці скаржилися на тріщини в бетоні і вологу, що накопичується. Були повідомлення про воду в підвальних приміщеннях.

Після обвалення влада закликала перевірити всі будинки віком понад 40 років і розробити нові стандарти сертифікації будівель.

Знесення будинку
Начальник пожежної охорони Райд Джадаллах на брифінгу 2 липня 2021 року повідомив членам сім'ї, що будівлю знесуть «якомога швидше».

Мер міста Чарльз Баркет заявив у суботу 3 липня, що мерія може дозволити службам швидко розібрати частини багатоповерхівки, яка вціліла після обвалу. Починаючи з 5 липня, у Маямі очікують на перший ураган сезону «Ельза». Потужні вітри можуть досягнути і місця, де тривають пошуково-рятувальні роботи, що загрожує і надалі дестабілізувати споруду.

Q: Flex SharedObject Displays Client Values I have a remote flex SharedObject and Im trying (using Red5) to send to all clients a message and an object with some user / sender data.
The problem is: The values displayed in clients are the ones stored on them, not the value in my SO.
Heres some code:
protected function btSend_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{
    soChat.setProperty("msg",tiMessage.text);
    soChat.setProperty("userVO",modtrackModel.userVO);
    tiMessage.text = "";

}

private function syncListener(event:SyncEvent):void
{
    for(var i:Object in event.changeList) {
        var changeObj:Object = event.changeList[i];

        switch(changeObj.name) {
            case "msg":
               newMessage(event.target.data["userVO"].userName);
               break;

        }
    }
}

public function newMessage( msg:String):void
{
    Alert.show(msg);
}

So the problem is, If im Logged as Ricardo in Browser A and Rodrigo in Browser B the Alert shows Ricardo in Browser A and Rodrigo in Browser B... it shouldn't, right? It should show the last value set in my SO, right?

Edward Herbert, 1. Baron Herbert of Cherbury, 1. Baron Herbert of Castle Island (* 3. März 1583 in Eyton on Severn, Shropshire; † 20. August 1648) war ein anglo-walisischer Politiker, Militär, Diplomat, Historiker, Dichter und Religionsphilosoph.

Leben
Er entstammte einer Nebenlinie der Adelsfamilie Herbert und war der älteste von sieben Söhnen des Richard Herbert, Gutsherr von Montgomery Castle und Sheriff von Montgomeryshire, aus dessen Ehe mit Magdalen Newport, Tochter des Sir Richard Newport, Gutsherr von Eyton in Shropshire. Er wurde zunächst von einem Privatlehrer erzogen, besuchte von 1593 bis 1595 die Schule von Diddlebury in Shropshire und von 1596 bis 1600 das University College der Universität Oxford. Von 1608 bis 1609 unternahm er eine Grand Tour nach Frankreich.

1599 heiratete er Mary Herbert (1575–1634), Tochter des Sir William Herbert, Gutsherr von St. Julians in Montgomeryshire, Mortlake in Surrey und Castle Island im County Kerry. Mit ihr hatte er mindestens zwei Söhne und Töchter.

1601 war er als Knight of the Shire für Montgomeryshire und von 1604 bis 1611 für Merionethshire Mitglied des englischen House of Commons. Anlässlich der Krönung Jakobs I. 1603 wurde er zum Knight of the Bath geschlagen. Von 1603 bis 1642 war er Friedensrichter für Montgomeryshire und von 1626 bis 1642 auch Friedensrichter für Shropshire. Von November 1604 bis Februar 1606 war er auch Sheriff von Montgomeryshire.

1610 nahm er als Offizier in einem englischen Freiwilligenkontingent in der niederländischen Armee im Rahmen des Jülich-Klevischen Erbfolgestreits an der Belagerung von Jülich teil. 1614 bewarb er sich erfolglos darum, in französischen Diensten in Frankreich ein Reiterregiment zur Bekämpfung einer drohenden Rebellion des Prince de Condé anwerben zu dürfen. Stattdessen beteiligte er sich erneut in niederländischen Diensten am Feldzug in Jülich-Kleve. Nach dem dortigen Friedensschluss im selben Jahr reiste er nach Italien, wo der Herzog von Savoyen ihn beauftragte, in Frankreich hugenottische Veteranen für die savoyische Armee anzuwerben. Kurz nach seiner Ankunft in Lyon wurde dort jede Rekrutierung durch fremde Mächte verboten und Herbert vom Gouverneur verhaftet. Auf Vermittlung des Duc de Montmorency wurde er schließlich freigelassen und kehrte Ende 1615 nach England zurück.

Zwischen 1619 und 1624 war er als Diplomat am französischen Hof in Paris. In Anerkennung seiner Dienste als Diplomat wurde er zum erblichen Peer erhoben. Am 31. Dezember 1624 erhielt er den irischen Titel Baron Herbert of Castle Island und am 7. Mai 1629 den englischen Titel
Baron Herbert of Cherbury. Durch die beiden Titel wurde er Mitglied sowohl des irischen, als auch des englischen House of Lords.

1622 ließ er seinen von seinem Vater geerbten befestigten Familiensitz Montgomery Castle um ein aufwändig gestaltetes, dreiflügliges Herrenhaus im mittleren Burghof erweitern. Im Englischen Bürgerkrieg stellte er sich zunächst auf die Seite der Royalisten, übergab aber im Sommer 1644 Montgomery Castle den Parlamentstruppen unter Thomas Myddelton und zog in sein Haus am Charing Cross in London um. Er starb 1648 und wurde in St Giles-in-the-Fields bestatte. Seine Baronstitel erbte sein älterer Sohn Richard.

Philosophie
Nach Herbert ist Religion ganz und gar Sache der Vernunft (Deismus). Diese zielt darauf ab, primär im Dienste der Moral zu stehen. Seiner Argumentation nach kann der Mensch nur dann den Fokus auf das individuelle Menschsein legen, wenn die Moral den Mittelpunkt des Lebens darstellt. Mit dieser Vorstellung ist er ein klassischer Vertreter der
natürlichen Religion. Er gilt als Begründer der 5 Grundprinzipien der natürlichen Religion, die er als veritates catholicae bezeichnet hat.

Die 5 Grundprinzipien der natürlichen Religion
 Die Annahme eines höheren Wesens
 Die Pflicht seiner Verehrung
 Eine moralische Lebensführung
 Sünden und Vergehen müssen bereut und gebüßt werden
 Belohnung und Bestrafung des Guten wie Bösen nach dem Tod

Diese fünf Grundprinzipien sind allen Menschen gleichermaßen durch ihre Vernunft zugänglich und lassen sich durch den natürlichen Instinkt erfassen.

I was looking at a couple of pieces of office furniture from different dealers. One was more expensive than the other, but I liked it more, and the sales rep knew that.
"Two years from now, after you have been enjoying this for awhile, and have forgotten what you paid for it, do you think you will have made the right choice?"
Wow, what a great question! Of course I bought it.
"There are no price objections, only value questions."
Here are a couple of ideas to use when faced with someone hedging on paying your higher price. Naturally you can adapt the one the guy used with me.
"If you were able to travel out to about two years into the future, and look at the decision you're about to make, what do you think it would be?"
Prospect: "Your product costs more than the others out there."
Sales Rep: "So does a Jaguar. It really gets down to what you really want."


Today's New York Times "Sunday Styles" section has an article on Michelle Obama's style titled "She Dresses to Win".
I loved the classic rich purple sheath in the top photo, stunning against her skin. The dress was made by former Geoffrey Beene assistant Maria Pinto (channeling the master), and cost $900 (US dollars).
The pink/grey combination (below) includes an Alaia belt.
Because she favours oversized pearls, the article compares her to Barbara Bush, though clearly Michelle Obama's model is Jackie Kennedy.
She will hold the world's eye through the campaign with the same assured elegance. She has great posture and moves with energy. There's none of the stiffness or jacket-patting fidget that plagues Laura Bush's appearances.
Barbara Bush was 64 by the time she entered the White House, entrenched in her conservative Texan grande dame look. Unfortunately (as she often joked), the presidency aged her far faster than her husband. Her pearls were a ploy to disguise her neck.
But in her youth, Barbara Bush was a bombshell.
I bet all the first ladies curse Jackie Kennedy and how high she set the bar. Poor things will always be compared and either told they are imitating or "wanting". Ms Obama looks amazing, she knows how to work her silhouette. Now I'm fancying some large pearls.
Zara Scoville of Priceless Imperfection (www.pricelessimperfection.com) is my favourite pearl jewelery designer.
She is based in Los Angeles but is easy to work with via phone and e-mail and will send photos of her recent work.
I too favor oversized pearls!! I have a great Carolee necklace that I wear at every opportunity.
And, Ms. Obama is a breath of fresh air after the stodgy style of Laura.
I also think she is very attractive. In fact they make a very attractive couple. But a propos of pearls, whilst I fully agree with your mantra, duchesse, that 'life begins at 10mm', I'm not overly attracted to enormous pearls. In the UK they are considered to be a little too flashy and I also see them as rather starchy. I much prefer a long string wrapped nonchalantly round the neck a few times like a casual scarf finding its natural position. Also with the low V neck a longer string would be more flattering.
And I don't remember Jackie Kennedy wearing very big pearls, just rather unassuming medium size. And if I remember rightly it was discovered after her death that the famous three string set was false. That should be encouraging for our bank accounts!
GP: Yes, when pearls are huge they lose their drapiness.
I have experienced Pearl Shrink.
My 10mm rounds were lavishly large when I bought then, but then 12mm freshwaters became (occasionally available....mmmmm. Then a gift of 16 mm pear drop earrings.
Also, if you wear huge Tahatians spaced on chain (a sumptuous version of the Tin Cup) you can have it both ways, size and drape.
I am trying to ponder Michelle Obama or Cindy McCain. Neither one, thank you!
I find that clothes may make the person but Michelle Obama seems to totally lack any trace of elegance-no finesse whatsoever This may seem like a criticism- It is not.
Maybe I am relegating her to a place where she would rather not be.
I just can't see her in a gown or a suit or a drees- sheath or not. She has a more 'masculine' look and it can't be played up or down. Her look now is not her- Both of them seem like Kennedy shadows- His mannerisms and hers are more like a projection of a PR company than a natural wardrobe- self imposed. She should try to be herself.
I think Laura Bush was lovely, too. But she is an introvert, a former librarian who was uncomfortable in the media glare and did not crave attention. Her mother-in-law is a class act, who had no desire to be a fashion plate, so why do we judge against a woman like Jackie who worked so tirelessly to be one?
Michelle Obama has her own style; she is an extrovert, sports brash colours that demand the spotlight and dresses for the fact that she and her husband are celebrities first and foremost.

New Report Finally Debunks Pervasive Marijuana "Gateway Drug" Myth
Jake Methow
For more than a century, prohibitionists have been spreading wild lies about the long-term health risks and short-term effects of consuming even one hit of the evil marijuana plant. This all in an attempt to curb weed use. Even today, lobbyists and lawmakers continue to believe the false gateway theory, but now evidence can finally lay to rest unfounded fears of homelessness and addiction.
Researchers from the State University of New York, New Paltz published an extensive report recently. Appropriately titled "The Marijuana Gateway Phenomenon," the recent paper highlights marijuana's outlawed history and the treachery detractors used to force their racially motivated agenda of cannabis prohibition over the decades.
Without a single real social or medical danger, famous personalities from Chris Christie to Nancy Reagan and every period between have instead spewed wild imaginings of violent, heavy drug use and fake consequences to instill fear and advance their goals. They have relied on nothing but fantasies to force prohibition on the masses and, of course, insane amounts of money to spread their propaganda.
According to the report, "From the 1970s onward, national anti-drug programs and like efforts implicating marijuana proliferated, but were all unsupported by research. As no serious harmful effects could be cited to justify these effects, it became necessary to present marijuana as a gateway drug that ultimately leads to the use of harsher substances."
During this time, it was near impossible to conduct any sort of comprehensive research. This is because people accepted those lies blindly for decades and because scientists may not study federally illegal drugs under national law. Researchers now say that the gateway drug myth has caused society exponentially more harm than the actual cannabis plant itself.
See also Marijuana, Its Various Names and Options for Purchase and Growth
"Maintaining this myth not only wastes resources, but actually harms numerous individuals, primarily members of minority groups who are being criminalized," one of the four co-authors of the paper, Eve Waltermaurer said, " Energy which could be better applied toward reducing the truly harmful opioid epidemic is, instead, spent on a fool's errand."
Despite numerous studies showing clearly that medical cannabis is actually a significant contributor to lowering rates of opioid addiction, U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions continues to blame legalized marijuana for escalating opioid overdose rates rampaging through the country. The report delves into the details of the gateway drug myth, and explains very clearly its origins and continued persistence.
Nonetheless, Waltermaurer and the paper's other three co-authors remain pessimistic about their work ending the widely cited fantasy, an in-your-face reminder about the never-ending resistance still plaguing marijuana law reform today and preventing people from accessing effective medical treatment or using it for recreational purposes, which is well within their basic human rights.
The report concludes by saying, "Facts have their limits. In this, as in other highly controversial areas, they can inform policy makers, but do not assure the adoption of fact-based public policy. As long as people and the public officials they elect have a political stake in them, myths such as the history of the marijuana gateway fallacy hang on."
In fact, here are some facts to debunk the gateway theory even further:
Lack of Evidence
No evidence exists anywhere even hinting that cannabis may be a gateway drug. Authorities even admit it, on record. All previous conclusions are nothing but assumptive. Real science does not make assumptions and cannot claim that trying one substance or another precedes hard drug use. Scholars call this assumptive thinking fallacious and even have a name for it: Post hoc ergo propter hoc.

Marijuana Treats Addiction
Cannabis is actually an exit drug, according to research conducted by the University of British Columbia in 2016. Findings suggest that using marijuana can help those addicted to illicit or potentially harmful drugs, such as alcohol and opioid prescriptions. Weed can ease the withdrawal process and relieve related symptoms. It also treats the underlying problem in many cases, such as PTSD and depression.
Official Websites Removing Lies
Misleading claims about marijuana being dangerous and a gateway drug are disappearing from official websites. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency's site, in particular, is making claims that are more accurate these days, such as "marijuana does not cause long-term brain damage or psychosis," and even this little snippet, "The federal government now admits that cannabis is not a gateway drug."
Correlation Is Not Causation
It is a scientific fact that correlation does not prove causation. Just because something has an association with something else does not mean it caused it. Wild claims such as, "weed smokers are 104 times more likely to use heroin than those who have never tried it," does not make pot the cause. Autism rates are higher despite more people eating organically, but we cannot blame the healthy food.
Alcohol a Real Gateway
The Brian C. Bennet Drug Charts, created by Rice University's Baker Institute on Public Policy, provide a thorough analysis of the use patterns of "alcohol, amphetamines, cocaine, crack cocaine, hallucinogens, heroin, inhalants, LSD, marijuana, MDMA, methamphetamines, non-medical prescription pills, non-medical prescription painkillers, OxyContin, PCP, sedatives, stimulants, and tranquilizers."
See also State Moves to Prevent Environment Destruction by Weed Growers
The Bennet Charts provide the most comprehensive data available today on all of these substances. As Medical Daily says, they "show that alcohol causes significantly more personal and social damage than any other substance, and marijuana's reputation as a 'gateway' drug is not supported. Interestingly, traumatic childhood experience, mental illness, and economic security are more telling predictors of substance abuse than the availability of the drugs."
As with other drugs, people use marijuana for a variety of reasons and environmental factors. Using weed does not mean that they will start using harder drugs. For them, cannabis is their drug of choice where others prefer cocaine, heroin, or prescription pills. Where it concerns marijuana, the gateway theory is frankly nonsense, and alcohol, tobacco, coffee, and medicines are more likely the real suspects.
