Journey to a War and Back for a Daughter

Your Letter
Posted on : Thursday August 4, 2022
"We should adopt another child." This is how my wife, Kristie, chose to greet me early one Sunday morning in January of 2021. I was in the shower of our Brunswick home and had music playing, so I wasn't sure I'd heard her right.
"What?" was my reply. We already had four children, three biological and a beautiful little girl we adopted from Armenia in 2017. Four kids, one of whom has spina bifida and is confined to a wheelchair is hard enough. Surely, she doesn't want to add another, was my initial thought.
Phil and Kristie Graves took multiple trips to Ukraine to adopt their daughter Brizzy. (photo by Phil Graves)
"We should adopt another child," she repeated, this time a little exasperated. I found out later that she wanted me to tell her no and let that be the end of it. However, I had made a deal with God several years ago, that if he opened a door for me, I would trust him and walk through it.
I said, "OK, what child?" She told me she had been looking at the Facebook page of an organization called Reece's Rainbow, a nonprofit established in 2006 to advocate for the international adoption of children with special needs—the same site where we found our first adopted daughter. On the page, an advocate had shared information about a little girl who had a prospective family working to come to get her but had to stop because of family issues.
Once I got out of the shower, Kristie showed me the Facebook post about young Bridget, who had originally been abandoned by American parents who couldn't have a child naturally so they hired a company in Ukraine to find a donor egg and surrogate.
Unfortunately, the surrogate delivered early, a boy and a girl, at 25 weeks. The boy died after six days and the surviving girl was thought to be profoundly disabled. Once the American parents learned of the disability, they instructed that no life-saving measures be taken and the girl should be allowed to die peacefully. She didn't. She fought and survived. She was placed in a hospital, where she lived and was cared for by a special nurse named Marina.
After four years, Bridget was placed in an orphanage and was available for adoption. Kristie and I decided we would move forward and inquired about her.
Once we heard back, we agreed that if God wanted us to adopt her, he would make it clear to us. First, our family and friends would be supportive. Second, we would not take out any loans to pay for the adoption. We estimated it would be about $36,000 to $40,000. Finally, we didn't want to have to sell anything to help raise the money.
God Provides
When we talked to our family, we expected them to tell us we were crazy. No one did. When we talked to our friends, we expected them to tell us it was probably a bad idea, as we already had a child with special needs. No one did. In fact, everyone we spoke to about it said it was an amazing idea and wanted to know how they could help us.
We contacted the adoption service provider that we had used in our first adoption and also began the process of completing a required home study.
We moved forward and announced to our friends, family and Facebook that we were adopting again. The first hurdle was to raise $10,000 to cover our initial fees. I created a Facebook fundraiser and all the money was donated within ten days.
The home study includes background checks, references, interviews, financial documents and fingerprinting. It might seem invasive, but prospective parents should have to demonstrate that they can support an adopted child, both financially and emotionally. You have to remember that kids who are in orphanages have experienced trauma and will experience more as they transition from the orphanage to your home.
This process takes several months and is typically followed by two trips to the adoptee's country. We were finally able to go meet Bridget in mid-December 2021. We flew from Dulles to Frankfurt to Kyiv and then took another plane to her city in Zaporizhzhia. Once there, we were able to meet with the orphanage director and the doctors to hear about her medical diagnosis. Then we finally met the girl we now call Brizzy and were able to spend a few hours playing with her in a playroom at the orphanage.
Outside of Kyiv Phil and Kristie stop to take photos next to a destroyed Russian tank. (photo submitted)
We were there a couple of days, spending a total of about six hours with her before we had to take a train to Kyiv for the flight back home. We were so excited and anxious to get back to Ukraine for court and then to pick her up and take her to her new home. Normally it's about 30 days between trips. While we were there, we discussed the fact that the Russians were on the border threatening to invade. No one in Ukraine seemed to think this would happen and we were told to expect to return in late January or early February.
At home, we anxiously waited and watched the news. We started planning our vacations and other events around the expected pickup trip and the fact that we would have a new child. Early in January, we heard there was an issue with her citizenship because her biological parents were American and her surrogate had been Ukrainian. That would take a few weeks to straighten out.
Finally, we were told we had a court date for Feb. 10 but then learned our judge had been hospitalized with COVID and we would have to wait a bit longer. In mid-February, we were told we'd have an update on Feb. 25 and to expect to travel in early March.
War Concerns
The Russians invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24. We were devastated and assumed our adoption would be on hold for the foreseeable future. Russia was expected to storm in and take over the country in just a few days. Because Russia had banned Americans from adopting its children in January of 2013, we thought we might never be able to complete the adoption.
Because of her unique story, Brizzy had been included in a feature about the dark side of international surrogacy by the Australian Broadcasting Company in 2019. That story made many people around the world aware of her plight and there was great interest in her and her future. When we registered to adopt her, we were contacted by a journalist, Timofey, from the German magazine Der Spiegel. He asked if he could come to talk to us about the war and our adoption. We agreed and he flew from Ukraine to the United States and spent three weeks with us.
Maria, Kristie, and Brizzy share a few moments to relax. (by Phil Graves)
Timofey, helped us contact the director of the orphanage, the executive director of a nonprofit that funds the orphanage and even the former press secretary for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to see if we could move forward. No one was able to offer us any real help or hope. Ukraine was too busy defending itself to focus on completing adoptions. Timofey wrote his article and went home. We prayed and we waited, and we hoped.
The Ukrainians' resistance to the Russian invaders surprised the world. First Baptist Church of Brunswick, where I serve as senior pastor, held a prayer vigil, while we continued to wait. Finally, in mid-April, we received a message from a nurse who had cared for Brizzy in the hospital and continued to visit her in the orphanage every week. She told us a judge had agreed to hold court and allow us to complete our adoption, but we would have to give them a date when we could be there in person. During the pandemic, people were allowed to have court virtually, but during the war, they wanted us in person.
Kristie and I registered on the U.S. State Department website, informing the government we would be traveling to Ukraine. We bought our plane tickets and began travel on April 26. We flew from Dulles to Munich and then to Warsaw. Timofey met us at the airport in Warsaw and drove us to the border of Poland and Ukraine.
At the border, we weren't allowed to walk into Ukraine, so we ended up hitchhiking and getting a ride from a Red Cross humanitarian aid van. Once in the country, our adoption facilitator picked us up and drove us to Kyiv. As we approached the city, we saw the destruction of roads, bridges, gas stations and factories from when the Russians unsuccessfully tried to capture the capital.
When we got to Kyiv, we had dinner and went to our facilitator's home to freshen up. After about an hour, we headed out to catch a night train to Zaporizhzhia. A woman told our facilitator about missiles striking an apartment building about half a kilometer away. It was scary but we had a train to catch. We arrived at the station and met up with another facilitator who would take us to court and help us get all our documentation.
The train ride was uneventful, except when I woke up in the middle of the night. We had stopped and in a mild panic, I wondered if the tracks had been destroyed or if Russian troops had stopped the train. I timidly looked out the window, only to discover we had stopped at a station to let passengers off.
Kristie and Brizzy share a laugh. (by Phil Graves)
The next morning, we arrived in Zaporizhzhia and all the men on the train had to stand in line to have our travel documents inspected. Once we cleared the line, we grabbed an Uber and went to a hotel to shower, change clothes and have breakfast.
We headed to the courthouse to wait about an hour for the proceedings to begin. Air raid sirens began wailing. The judge asked if we would like to take shelter in the basement. No one else in the room seemed too concerned so we said we were fine to proceed.
After about a 30-minute hearing, the judge and two jurors agreed we would be great parents to Brizzy and gave us a decree. They also waived the traditional 30-day waiting period. We waited about 30 more minutes and the court documents and adoption decree were given to us and we headed out.
Taking Brizzy Home
That evening, we went back to the train station and met up with Marina Boyko, the nurse who had taken such good care of Brizzy in the hospital and had visited her in the orphanage. We jumped on another night train and slept while the train returned us to Kyiv.
Once in Kyiv, we met again with the Der Spiegel photographer and our facilitator. We signed paperwork and hit the road for Lviv where our new daughter had been evacuated two weeks prior to our trip. On the road, we stopped outside Kyiv and took some photos next to a destroyed Russian tank with the word "Wolverines" spray painted on it.
In Lviv, we went to the relocated orphanage, signed more papers and finally took permanent custody of our new daughter. While we were there, more air raid sirens went off. Again, no one seemed to be worried.
On a bus from Warsaw from Lviv where the Graves took permanent custody of Brizzy. (by Phil Graves)
We left the orphanage and headed to a hotel for the night. In the morning we hopped on a bus headed back to Warsaw, Poland. It took about nine hours total, two of which were crossing the border from Ukraine back into Poland.
Once in Warsaw, we went to a hotel for a much-needed good night's sleep. We had been in Ukraine for four days, much of it traveling. In Warsaw, we saw a doctor for Brizzy's physical and blood work and then headed to the U.S. Embassy to begin the process of getting Brizzy a visa.
Because of the war, we were unable to get our new daughter a Ukrainian passport, crossing the border with just her adoption decree and our passports. The U.S. Embassy would have to issue an emergency travel document, called a DS-232, to allow us to bring her into the United States.
While waiting for the doctor's report and the visa, we were able to spend a few days sightseeing and adapting to life as a new family.
After 12 long days in a hotel, we were finally able to pick up our paperwork and return home. We left Warsaw on Thursday, May 12, stopped for a few hours in Vienna, Austria, and finally landed in D.C. at three in the afternoon on the same day. Because of the paperwork we had done prior to going to get her, Brizzy was a U.S. citizen as soon as we landed.
We have been home a few weeks now. Brizzy, now six years old, is learning English, seeing doctors and adapting to life as a beloved daughter and sister.

This summer she went on vacation with us to Pigeon Forge and she had surgery to correct her club feet. This fall she will start kindergarten at Brunswick Elementary School. We are so grateful to God, our family and our friends for supporting us on this adventure.

Before you pull into burger king for a whopper, take a look at this youtube video they just put out.
It is pimping for net neutrality – if you can believe it!
Millennials, by a large margin, favor net neutrality and oppose President Donald Trump's successful push to overturn those regulations. Millennials also have a tendency to ignore fast food stalwarts, in favor of more luxury fare, like avocado toast.
So, what is a long-respected fast food chain like Burger King supposed to do in order to lure in that fickle younger generation? Make a video explaining net neutrality to the masses, using a Whopper sandwich as a stand-in for the potential fast and slow lanes that an unregulated Internet could produce?
That's exactly what they did. Burger King made a video extolling the virtues of net neutrality by setting up a hidden camera in one of their franchise locations and pretending that customers could only order Whoppers using the kinds of fast lanes and slow lanes Internet users fear will begin clogging up the web in the coming years.
A Whopper ordered via the slow lane would only cost $4.79, but would take "15-20 minutes" to arrive, while one ordered in the fastest lane would be prepared immediately, costing a whopping $25.99, much to the chagrin of the customers.
"I didn't think ordering a Whopper would really open my eyes to net neutrality," one customer said at the end of the video.
This is actually a pretty bold marketing move. Burger King, after all, has no skin in the telecommunications game, so they may as well throw their weight behind a movement that is largely embraced by the younger generations.
Fernando Machado, their global chief marketing officer, explained the reasoning behind the spot in a press release.
It's come to this. You can't escape a lecture on politics even at a fast food place.
Remember when the company told us "have it your way"? Obviously you can't have it your way at Burger King anymore. It's all their way.

/ George VI
George VI (Albert Frederick Arthur George), 1895–1952, king of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (1936–52), second son of George V; successor of his elder brother, Edward VIII. He attended the royal naval colleges at Osborne and Dartmouth and served in World War I. Later he served in the Royal Air Force. He studied at Cambridge for a time after the war, was created duke of York in 1920, and married (1923) Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon. They had two daughters: Princess Elizabeth (later Queen Elizabeth II) and Princess Margaret. When Edward VIII abdicated on Dec. 11, 1936, George became king. He and his consort were crowned on May 12, 1937. They made a state visit to France in July, 1938, and an unprecedented royal voyage to Canada and the United States in 1939. During World War II the king worked to keep up British morale by visiting bombed areas, inspecting war plants, and touring theaters of war action. In 1947 the royal family made a state visit and tour of South Africa. A tour of Australia and New Zealand, scheduled for 1949, was postponed indefinitely because of the king's illness at the end of 1948. Like his father, George was held in deep affection by his people. He was succeeded by Elizabeth II.

The SmartMesh Spectrum Public Chain mapping operation is now imminent, and the team is fully focused on preparations to ensure it goes smoothly. It's a somewhat complex task, and all teams need to communicate fully with the exchanges to make it happen.
In this week's report, you can see how various different SmartMesh departments are preparing for the mapping, as well as learn what else is new in the SmartMesh project.
The mapping is imminent, and the public chain team is carrying out the final debugging of Spectrum to ensure that it is in the best state when the operation initiates. All the preparations are now in place, and some of the exchanges have been technically docked, which can be verified through the exchanges' public announcements.
Although the mapping is the main focus of this week, future development plans are still continuing as well. One topic of discussion that came up this week was related to topological relationships among the three types of nodes: outgoing block nodes, candidate nodes and common nodes. Also work on the EVM compiler will begin this week.
Technical docking has been carried out with exchanges, some of which have made rapid progress and have completed all the docking work.
The topological relationships among the three types of nodes in the public chain have been studied, and the optimal topological structure for Spectrum was discussed.
Continued to study the libp2p function library to enhance the controllability of network topology.
Start studying the EVM compiler.
This week's Ozone R&D focused on optimization and upgrading. With the release of Ozone version 0.50, the public chain team achieved a breakthrough in its operation, with loading speed being the most obvious highlight.
Further optimized Ozone. The optimized version has been submitted for product testing.
Optimized application performance and improved interface loading speed.
Read the Mist source code and prepare for the integration of DAPP.
This week, the SmartRaiden Team will focus on message processing for SmartRaiden intermediate nodes, unit testing of SmartRaiden Version 1.0, network-free security and application scenario design, matrix communication security design and so on.
Designed the message received by the transaction relay node and part of the chain event processing, including indirect transaction message processing, RevealSecret message processing, Unlock message processing, AnnounceDisposed message processing, chain password registration event processing, and repeated Meditated Transfer processing.
Continued the development of contract test code, designed the SmartRaiden partial contract function test scenario, and designed unlock / updateBalanceProof / punishObsoleteUnlock unit test scenario.
Constructed restriction scheme and designed application scenario for indirect internet-free transactions through settle timeout and expire block, and constructed scenario examples for internet-free applications for vending machines, including the premise of internet-free payments, risk measurement and corresponding solutions.
The matrix encrypted broadcasting mode and the signature addressing mode have been designed to ensure transmission security and accurate positioning. The SmartRaiden node caches part of the information of the whole network node in real-time (automatic transfers over the load) in order to ensure the basic data routing and the completion of the SmartRaiden routing charging scheme maintains its integrity and is optimized.
We are now closing in on the Spectrum mapping operation and the APP team is fully prepared to take the app to the next level to stay in sync with the public chain.
Since the SmartMesh APP features wallet functionality, there will be a large number of users registering to use it after the mapping commences. In order to prepare for this, the APP team has specifically targeted optimization so that everyone will have a smooth experience.
Improved the interface between the Ethereum network and the tokens, so that users can check the status of the mapping.
Created a mapping announcement information interface.
APP locator function has been upgraded.
Modified the rules for wallet names to make the names more precise.
The mapping has also been guiding the work of the marketing team, who are undoubtedly busy not only with final docking issues with the major exchanges, but also with preparing for the official announcements regarding the mapping commencement and process. In addition, the marketing team is also planning a celebration for the event.
The marketing team has carried out a rigorous publicity schedule for the SmartMesh Spectrum Public Chain mapping work. During the whole mapping process, the team will push out announcements so that everyone will be updated on progress in real-time.
Final communications are being made with the exchanges supporting the Spectrum mapping to determine mapping times.
Completed the SmartMesh Spectrum Public Chain announcements to update the SmartMesh community on the mapping. Relevant announcements will be released next week.
An official tutorial for those who need to perform the mapping themselves has been written.
Celebrations accompanying the mapping have been planned, details will be forthcoming.
That's all for this week's update, stay tuned next week to catch all the latest news on the mapping and everything else concerning the SmartMesh project. See you then!


A downtown Roanoke kayak launch is moving forward thanks to a successful crowdfunding effort led by the Roanoke Outside Foundation on behalf of The Bridges development. The campaign raised $77,000 in cash and in-kind services to build the launch which is on the Roanoke River at The Bridges near the intersection with Reserve Avenue.
Construction will begin in a few days on the put-in which is halfway between Wasena Park and Piedmont Park. Construction above the water line will be completed by May. The underwater portion will begin after June 30 since instream construction is not permitted from March 30 to June 30 to protect the habitat of the endangered Roanoke logperch.
Construction is being donated by E.C. Pace & Co. Materials and services have been donated by Balzer & Associates, Boxley Materials, Ferguson, Home Depot, MC Contractors, Rockydale Quarries, and Valley Landscaping.
Financial support for the project came from dozens of businesses and individuals such as Carilion Clinic, UBS Financial Services, Lanford Brothers, Adams Construction, Salem Stone Corp and a personal donation from Congressman Bob Goodlatte. Many individuals supported the project in memory of Joe Gwaltney, former vice president of Boxley Materials.
The facility will be managed by Roanoke Parks and Recreation and Roanoke Stormwater Division. There is no cost to use the launch which will make it easier to canoe, kayak, or tube close to the region's urban core along the Roanoke River Blueway, a water trail that runs from the South Fork of the Roanoke River at East Montgomery County Park to Hardy Road in Bedford County. Amenities onsite will include a viewing platform, steps down to the river, boat storage rack, and informational kiosk that includes a map of the river.
Thanks to everyone who has helped with this project.

Archie Roach wins literary award for memoir
Darby Ingram
Please note: This story contains reference to someone who has died.
One of Australia's most adored performers, Uncle Archie Roach AM has won a Victorian Premier's Literary Award, winning the Prize for Indigenous Writing for his memoir Tell Me Why: The Story of My Life and My Music.
In its 36th year, the Awards were announced online on Monday night by Victorian Minister for Creative Industries Danny Pearson.
"The response has been great for both the biography and the album, it's great to have been recognised, especially when it's the first time you've sat down and written something," Roach said.
"Writing the memoir was a little different to songwriting, I guess because without a melody you don't have much to lighten the topic or to buffer the impact of some of the stories in the book, but it was an interesting process.
"Storytelling is important to me, not just to express myself, but to share that with others as well."
"I think it's a part of who I am, and it's a big part of culture, storytellers come from all walks of life."
While his story is well-known, Roach's memoir goes into detail of the suffering he felt when his wife Ruby Hunter passed away in 2010. The couple had met when they were both teenagers; homeless and living on the streets of Adelaide.
Like Roach, Hunter was a member of the Stolen Generations, taken from her family at just eight-years-old.
Tell Me Why also touches on Roach's experience as a member of the Stolen Generations.
Born in 1956 on Framlingham Mission, near Warrnambool in southwest Victoria, he was forcibly removed from his family at the age of two under the Australian Government's assimilation policy.
Thirty years after the release of his award-winning debut album Charcoal Lane, Roach released his memoir Tell Me Why along with an album of the same name in 2020.
The literary award win follows a run of accolades, including his induction into the 2020 ARIA Hall of Fame and winning 2020 Victorian Australian of the Year.
Roach won the award for his memoir, Tell Me Why: The Story of My Life and My Music.
At 63-years-old, Uncle Archie shows no signs of slowing down.
Although his final national tour Tell Me Why was postponed due to COVID-19, Roach said that hasn't stopped him from creating and connecting with his audience.
"The album was going to be followed up by a national tour, but unfortunately COVID stopped that going ahead," he said.
"We've still been able to work, we were able to use YouTube to perform, and younger people have responded to my songs.
"We just had to find a different way of doing things."
Roach said he is looking forward to reconnecting with an audience at his upcoming show on February 19 at Melbourne's Sidney Myer Music Bowl.
"It'll be good to get back out there again and see an audience again."

Time to replace my Nokia N95?
For the past 18 months my day-to-day mobile phone has been a Nokia N95. When I bought the phone it was the top-of-the-line device from Nokia and while I've generally been happy with the phone, it's showing its age and I'm looking at alternatives.
The Series 60 user interface of the N95, once the cat's pajamas of mobile UI, seems needlessly complicated and clunky now that we're in a touch-screen world. While I was once happy to put up with bugs and irregularities because the device was "bleeding edge," things like the address book crashing once in a while, are increasingly frustrating. And when a recent firmware upgrade — the first in over a year — ended up introducing more bugs and irregularities (like the need for a hardware reset when trying to access a just-out-of-range WLAN), my frustrations only increased.
I feel like the N95 has been abandoned by Nokia, and thus I feel abandoned as a customer by Nokia, so I'm thus much less inclined to look at things like the Nokia N97, which has replaced the N95 as Nokia's top-end phone.
By way of sussing out the alternatives I've been carrying my iPod Touch, as a stand-in for an iPhone, in my other pocket every day, and using it to run the sort of mobile applications I'd otherwise run on the N95. So instead of Profimail I'm using the built-in iPod mail client, instead of Gravity I'm running Tweetie, instead of Nokia Podcasting (that stopped working completed after the firmware "upgrade") I'm using iTunes (or at least half-using it, as the mobile iTunes doesn't support over-the-air subscriptions), and instead Nokia's built-in web browser (never a joy), I'm using Mobile Safari.
I've also added in some applications that aren't available on the N95 at all: Instapaper, Stanza and Byline for reading, and OffMaps and Google Earth for mapping.
After a few weeks of experimenting this way, here's where I'm at:
The most maddening aspect of the N95 has always been it's wifi-handling (or rather mishandling). The notion that I need to select an "access point" for every application I start, even if I'm already online with another application, is clunky and somewhat bizarre. While there are, in theory, add-ons like Devicescape that make this process easier has never really panned out for me: while they make logging in to secure access points easier, they don't solve the underlying issues. The iPod Touch, by contrast, handles wifi brilliantly: you turn it on, and it works across all applications, and auto-connects to access points you've used before. The only downside is that if you leave wifi connected on an iPod Touch overnight it's likely that its battery will be dead by morning. +1 for Apple.
I'm not convinced that the "screens of scattered icons" user interface used by the iPod Touch and the iPhone is best for me: I get confused by which application is which, and all applications being "equal" but for their icon position and design doesn't offer enough for my brain to quickly be able to pick out what I need. That there is a Music application to listen to music and an iTunes application to buy music and download podcasts only makes this doubly confusing, given that it's the iTunes application on my laptop that does both. While the N95 uses a similar approach, it at least supports folders of application so I can apply some hierarchy to the organization. +1 for Nokia.
The iPod Touch has two buttons: an on/off button on the top, and a single round button under the touch screen. By contrast the N95, in addition to the numeric keypad, has 14 buttons (I had to count), and while my fingers have become accustomed to their functions by now, there's a steep learning curve, and something I'm still not sure which button I'm supposed to press. +1 for Apple.
Enforcing user interface guidelines is something Nokia has never particularly excelled at: even with applications the Nokia itself creates there are a seemingly endless number of user interface toolkits in rotation, and an application like Nokia Sports Tracker looks and feels completely different from something like Nokia Internet Radio. There's more UI unity on the iPod Touch, but in a way this only makes things more maddening when inconsistencies appear: there are two different ways of "deleting items on a list of things," for example: in the Mail application it's "Edit, Select, Select, Select, Delete" whereas in Instapaper it's "Edit, Select, Delete, Select, Delete." Draw.
When it comes to syncing my calendar and contacts, it's a draw: both the N95 and the iPod work well with iCal and Address Book on my Mac via iSync and iTunes. Similarly, Nokia Multimedia Transfer does a good job at handling photo and music syncing with iPhoto and iTunes. Draw.
The iPod Touch doesn't have a camera, so I don't have anything to contrast to. The camera on the N95 has always been a standout feature for me: it's takes nice 5 megapixel images, has a very solid macro mode, and the onboard photo management and editing capabilities have always been enough for my needs. Setting as the occasional need to reformat the internal memory card to prevent videos from stuttering, the video camera in the N95 is similarly nice, and it's nice that I can shoot videos like this with a camera that fits in my pockets. +1 for Nokia, but perhaps the iPhone will work just as well?
While it's hard to argue with the ease-of-use of Apple's App Store for finding and installing applications — it makes Nokia's Ovi Store seem like a Commodore 64 application — the notion of there being a single conduit through which applications must flow to the device is anathema to me. That said, while the N95 is, in theory, more "open" to applications — I can install apps from any source, either over the air or from my PC via Bluetooth or USB cable — the inane Symbian Signed process that requires all applications to be digitally signed to be able to access capabilities of the device has always been a significant barrier, especially for open source applications. It's great, for example, that Nokia released Python for the N95, less great that you need to use the complicated signing process to really take advantage of it (which effectively nullifies the notion of distributing Python apps for the N95 to a broader audience). +1 for Nokia, with a footnote.
I bought my N95 factory unlocked, meaning that I can use it with any carrier simply by swapping in a new SIM card. This is a big deal for me when I travel: it means I don't have to pay exorbitant international roaming fees and can, instead, purchase a low-cost prepaid SIM card for whatever country I happen to be visiting. The iPhone, by contrast, is locked, here in Canada, to the Rogers network (although in theory it can be "jailbroken" to unlock it). +1 for Nokia.
It's those last two points – the notion that having an iPhone locks me to Apple for my applications and to Rogers for my service – that are particularly distasteful to me, and that, in fact, might be iPhone deal-breakers. My next move is to consider the Palm Per (presumably suffering from a similar locked-to-Bell problem), or one of the Google/Android phone. Or maybe I should just give up this mobility silliness and go phone free?

I recommend the iPhone to everyone that asks me about it. Before I had an iPhone, I had never owned a smart phone so I really didn't have anything to compare it to. I had always just stuck with very simple phones that did the phone thing well.
I think with the release of the iPhone 3GS, you may find that the camera in the iPhone would be a suitable replacement for the camera capabilities in your N95, though you'd be giving up a megapixel or two in switching to the iPhone.
I honestly couldn't live without an iPhone now I don't think, having owned an unlocked original iPhone (which my wife now uses) and now an iPhone 3G. It's great freedom to be able to go on vacation, or even out of town for a few days and not feel the need to bring a laptop with me since I'm able to keep on top of most things work-related on the iPhone.
I've not had any complaints about the Rogers network, but living in Alberta, 3G access is a lot more prevalent than in PEI. I was on PEI visiting for about 3 weeks this summer and noticed somewhat spotty 3G connectivity in the Charlottetown area, but oddly enough at my sister's house in Milton, I had a strong 5-bar 3G signal. Once outside the Charlottetown area though, you drop down to Edge really quickly, and at some points of the Island I had trouble getting a connection at all, where Aliant/Bell phones had no trouble connecting (in Gaspereaux at a friend's home for example).
Steven Garrity on July 31, 2009 - 18:16
I've been considering the same things as my trusty old "dumb-phone" gets up in years. I've ruled out Apple for the "you can only install applications that we approve" issue (how come people aren't up in arms over that?!).
I've tried the Palm Pre UI via the emulator that ships with the developer kit, and was *very* impressed. If made even the desktop interfaces on recent mac and linux machines seem old, cluttered, slow, and inconsistent. That said, so far, Palm doesn't make it easy to install non-Palm approve apps either. I do expect they'll change tack on this to differentiate themselves from Apple, but that's based on nothing but ill-informed speculation.
That leaves the Android devices. The comprehensive Engadget review of the HTC Hero isn't particularly flattering, but it seems that we're 6 to 12 months away from dozens of more hardware options for Android. I expect the software will continue to improve in the mean time as well.
I'm going to try to wait for better Android hardware, or more open software policies from Palm.

for me and my mobile and photo and shozu obssesions :-), the ideal config would be 2 sims and 2 phones but i can't afford that! I'll stick with my N82 and iPhone 3G for now!
if i could i'd do this: i) N86 8MP NAM ii) iphone 3GS
I doubt that helps but oh well!

Evidence shows that such mental exercise is an important part of keeping the brain healthy as we age ;-)
More seriously, the iPhone is a handheld computer that just happens to include a phone. Everything else is a generation behind — and unlikely to catch up. If your desktop computer has neon lights and cables that flash in sync with the hard disk, you won't be happy with the iPhone though. Everyone else just lives with it and enjoys the package, minor warts and all.

I have a Nokia partially as a result of reading all the cool things you were doing with yours. It is without a doubt the most maddening device I have ever used. A dizzying array of impressive features coupled with a disastrous UI and hardware controls that sometimes work. At the high-end Nokia feels dead.
I really appreciate HTC's work but from my experience the iPhone is still the device that 'works'. Unfortunately, in Asia we get little love from the Apple store but there is still more software available than I have time to be interested in. The iPhone 3GS introduction has been delayed here but I will be ordering one as soon as they are available.

Personally, I have been an iPhone user for 6 months now, and I love it.
I am a heavy email user, as it goes with the business that I am in, and I find that my iPhone helps me tremendously with all my tasks.
HOWEVER…if I was from any other country other then Canada, I would say to go with any other phone to avoid contracts….but the fact that as a Canada, we are locked by a GSM monopoly, ruled by Rogers…This is not going to change, so I have no problems signing a contract with a company that I will have to use anyways…as long as I reside here (and I will be, because unless someone can help me airlift my Inn, I'm not going anywhere!)
Personally, I don't think webOS is going to make a dent in the market, and I fear that Android has not been marketed properly (it's pretty powerful though!) I always tend to go with the product that has the most development…and so far, that has been the iPhone and its successful Appstore….but I fear the Appstore's future with the bullying and restrictions of particular apps on Apple's part…so, we will see where that goes.

I've always hated mobile phones and thought blackberry phones where perhaps the stupidest looking things in the entire world next to the "Razor". Then Apple came out with the iPhone and being the Mac whore I am, immediately devised a plan to get one. That sweet day finally came in December 2008 and since then I'm never strayed far from it. It's literally the swiss army knife of mobile devices. I mean I use the alarm clock, the pedometer, the ipod, I can tweet with it while sitting on the toilet, I connect it to the TV to watch movies, I check the tide before hitting the beach (currently at high tide right now as I type — 2.4 m in Charlottetown) and of course the list goes on and on. And as with most Macs there are endless ways to break and customize if you do a little research. Despite what others may say, the iPhone really does work and simplifies a heck of a lot of things.
Rosetta Hays on August 6, 2009 - 04:01
Since no one has mentioned it, I thought I'd mention the Neo Freerunner as a possible alternative. If you don't know already, it's probably the closest you can get to an "open" phone. I don't have one, but have followed the Openmoko Community mailing list. From reading it, I've gathered that all the distributions for the Freerunner still have some shortcomings compared to other smartphones, and some get frustrated with trying to use the phone on a daily basis, but knowing that you stand a chance of fixing whatever bugs you may discover could make up for the shortcomings.

Bell and Telus are actually in the process of rolling out their own GSM network, so it shouldn't be long before we'll have a bit of a choice when it comes to 3G providers. It's also possible to purchase an iPhone from Rogers contract-free. Mind you it carries a fairly significant price tag with it ($699 sticks out in my head for some reason).
One other bonus of the iPhone I failed to mention was internet tethering (which I know is available with a number of different handhelds). It's been invaluable to me while travelling and not within range of free wifi.
Chuck on August 6, 2009 - 21:05
Some of the iPhone fanboy comments remind me of the old Maddox piece on one thing PC users can do that Mac users can't (language warning).
I've been a Palm user for a long time, so I'd like to try a Pre but like Peter, I'm not prepared to enter a walled garden whether of Apple's or Palm's design. The original Palm's open platform was what made it the runaway success of its day. Let's hope Palm hasn't forgotten the lesson.
Chuck on August 22, 2009 - 23:51
Peter, you probably saw this on Slashdot, but the new Nokia N900 might be worth waiting for. Herewith, a tech summary for geeks, from the Slashdot post:
MAP3 CPU/GPU, 3,5" 800x480 touchscreen, keyboard, Wi-Fi, HSPA, GPS; 5-MP camera, CZ lens, 32 GB storage, SD slot; X11, VT100 terminal emulator, APT package manager. Estimated price without credit: $780 (N.5800: $390, iPhone 3GS: $750). Developers should note that even though the current desktop is still GTK+, Qt will be standard across all Nokia platforms in the near future.
Barry Shell on August 25, 2009 - 19:39
Peter, please contact me. I'd love to talk to you about so many things. My advice here is get an iPhone. They are really great. So much better than the iPod Touch. The key is to bargain for a superb deal. I have a deal with Fido where I pay $52.50/mo (plus tax) and get adequate data and enough phone time to satisfy. I have learned how to bargain for a better deal with these guys. There is much online about this. e.g. http://www.howardforums.com/sh… Make sure to phone this number, not the normal Fido number: 1-888-259-3436. Having a modern 3GS iPhone these days is as close as you are going to get to a Star Trek tricorder. It is unbelievable what these things can do. I had Nokia before, too, but there is absolutely no comparison.


LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - It is an active start to our Sunday across the Commonwealth. Heavy rain continues to fall in many areas before most see a brief break in the action. During this period, a warm front will lift northward as gusty winds up to 40+ mph crank up from the south. Temperatures start surging as well along with plenty of moisture ahead of an incoming cold front. By late morning and early afternoon, storms are expected to fire up, and some severe storms look likely.
Primary threats will be damaging winds and hail, but an isolated spin-up tornado cannot be ruled out. The best area for severe weather will be along and east of I-75.
Tonight, a powerful cold front will swing through while delivering a much cooler shot of air. The good news is rain and storm chances come to an end as a dry night prevails. Look for chilly lows in the mid-upper 30's.
A stretch of calm weather takes over through mid-week with plenty of sunshine returning. Monday starts off cool with highs only in the 50's but thermometers rebound quickly into the 70's by Tuesday and Wednesday. Another potent storm system likely rolls into town later Thursday and early Friday. Strong-severe storms will be possible once again with highs surging into the upper 70's by late-week.

Anguilla Makes A Big Comeback - Forbes Travel Guide
Bonnie Bloom chokes up and some tears fall as she recounts how Hurricane Irma tore through her home island Anguilla in September 2017. But she wipes her hazel-brown eyes and puts it in perspective: despite the destruction, there was only one casualty reported on the island of more than 17,000 residents.
Still, the Category 5 storm was one of the strongest hurricanes on record in the Atlantic basin, according to the National Hurricane Center. It ravaged the island. Most homes and schools were leveled, and the island's only hospital was severely damaged, the NHC reported. The resulting economic losses are estimated to be at least $190 million.

Q: Continuous linear operator that is NOT compact. Exercise:
Let $U:L^1(0,\infty)\to L^{\infty}(0,\infty)$, defined as \begin{equation}U(f)(x):=\int_0^x f(t)dt\end{equation} Prove that $U$ is linear, continuous but not compact.
My solutions (or what I managed to show):
$U$ is linear is quite trivial. $U$ is continuous: let $(f_n)_{n\geq 1}$ be a sequence in $L^1(0,\infty)$ converging to $f$. To show: $\lim_{n\to \infty}U(f_n)(x)=U(f)(x)$. Since $\lim_{n\to \infty}\int_0^x f_n(t)dt=\int_0^x f(t)dt$, $U$ is continuous.
To show that $U$ is no compact, I have some troubles:
My question:
I tried to start by considering $f_n:=\mathbb{1}_{[n,n+1]}$ so we have $\Vert f_n\Vert_1=1$ and I define $g_n:=U(f_n)$. Then what I want to show is that $g_n$ cannot contain any Cauchy-Subsequence. How can I show this? Thank you in advance

A: Hint: $g_n$ is weak-$*$ convergent.

A: Hint: Fix any $n\in\mathbb{N}$. Then, show that for any $m>n+1$, we have $\|g_n-g_m\|_{\infty} \geq 1$.

A: If $n > m$, then for $x\in [m+1/2,m+1]$,
$$
g_n(x) = 0 \text{ but } g_m(x) = x-m \geq 1/2
$$
Hence,
$$
\|g_n - g_m\| \geq 1/2 \quad\forall n\neq m
$$
so it can't have a Cauchy subsequence.
