//Find new distribution models
By Steve Rivkin
Yes, you can find new ways to distribute — providing you don't upset existing distribution or your image.
In 2009, a private equity firm bought the bankrupt Linens N' Things business, and transformed it into an internet-only operation. They still offer 200,000 products for the home, but now overhead costs are lower as they compete with bricks-and-mortar players like Bed Bath & Beyond.
Nuprin was an also-ran brand of ibuprofen until it went the private-label route. The name was sold to the CVS pharmacy chain, which is now its exclusive retailer.
Our mothers bought their hosiery in department stores, where genteel ladies could inspect unmentionables in relative privacy. Then, Hanes found a new way to distribute – in grocery stores, of all places. L'eggs, their new pantyhose product, was delivered and stocked in much the same way that real eggs were stocked. This classic shift in distribution built L'eggs into a prominent brand.
Tupperware was a party-only player for decades. But now that more and more households have two adults working outside the home, Tupperware has to party a little harder. Their storage containers are now available in Target stores.
Ditto for Avon cosmetics, which is now calling on customers in department stores.
Even the venerable Fred Rogers, creator of the kid's TV show "Mister Rogers Neighborhood," found a new way to distribute his gentle message. He introduced an interactive program and a series of children's stories on the PBS website. (Hey, it's a beautiful day in the cyberhood.)
What's the point? There can always be another way to physically distribute whatever you're selling. Direct mail, online, kiosks in malls, kiosks in airports, door to door – think about what else it could be.

The Rise of YouTube
We can all admit that we have used YouTube for some reason in our lifetime. Whether it is use to...

Are movies based on comic books becoming too much?
While some of us love superheroes and villains, are having movies based on them becoming too much? Is it better for them to just remain as comic books and not a live-action movie? You can touch on earlier comic book movies and see how well they did in the past compared to now. Also, how well their sequels did at the box office.
You can possibly note too as to why we have so much of that. Given that some of the past were successful, some hit and miss, and some are quite infamously bad. It almost seems like in a way, they're trying to give the public what they want to give better comic hero representation. But in doing so, the marketing took advantage of the popularity and might've given us too much of a good thing. But in the end, it could be that we're the ones responsible for letting that happen since we demanded that. – Ryan Walsh 6 years ago
You're going to want to mention the terms of licensing rights. Studios must produce a film of an IP every so often, which means companies like Sony who own certain franchises (most notoriously, Fantastic 4) are required to push out something, good or bad, in order to keep their IPs. – Austin 6 years ago
Understanding popularity and how far the industry is willing to go to beat a dead horse is key. Pure laziness in the desire for cheap ways to make money is what drives Hollywood to invest so much in a type of movie of any kind, the thinking being if they pump out more movies on superheroes (everyone gets a movie!) more and more people who liked the original good ones will keep paying until the trend starts to fall. When they get dangerously close to losing money then they'll pick up on the next thing. In essence, taking a look at past examples of trends in movies (and other area like videogames - do we really need another Call of Duty every year?) can help illustrate what "too much" means to an audience that's been investing for years in Hollywood's gimmicks. – smartstooge 6 years ago
I really like what you've done here, keep it going! :) – scoleman 6 years ago
I'm curious as to what comparisons you could draw from other industries. Are there other noteworthy cases of "too much of a good thing?" Also, do you think the comic book fan base might help the sub-genre stay alive? Comic fans are used to new and semi-frequent installments about their favorite characters. We're even used to identity (cast) changes. Maybe that makes us more likely to hold on to superhero movies than other popular genres. – JakeNoseIt 6 years ago
Using current Marvel Studios movies as a template, one reason why current superhero movies are successful is that, while they deliver copious amounts of fan service through cameos and Easter eggs, the development of a semi-original plot line creates a sense of anticipation; instead of simply being a regurgitation of pre-existing stories (which can be extremely satisfying), these movies construct a new continuum with the characters in a new environment, as if a comic book is being constructed on the big screen for the audience to witness. – EmeryAF0624 6 years ago
Sorry, no tides are available. Please update the filter.
Great study! It's true about the advertising. Disney is so good at advertising their products, it is unbelievable! But — I can't lie, I get sucked into their advertising as well. As much as I love Disney, I am not a huge fan of Frozen. I love that Disney did not make it as, "the Prince will save the Princess," but the film didn't touch me as the others have in my life.
Why is Disney Overemphasizing Frozen?
Great article! I always wondered why I am starting to dislike superhero movies. I guess it's because they lack character development and a good story line.
A Successful or Disappointing Future for Superhero Movies?
Wow, I might have to research that.
Interesting thought. Never thought about that!
Indeed it does!
Thank you! Also, great observation; I hope YouTube continues delivering quality videos as well.
Yes, I guess that's why we are so hooked to it!

Q: Google Cloud Shell scripting Issue I am running my code from the shell(SSH) in google cloud as

python3 mycode.py

If I close the shell, the computation stops. How can I start a computation and then close the shell(Computation takes a long Time:)).....come back later and see how it is doing.
My code keeps printing results after a certain number of iteration.

A: Well, in general what you can do is run the code in a way where you can detach from the interactive environment. Using a tool such as screen or tmux. However, Google Cloud Shell is not made for running background tasks, and if i recall correctly, it will terminate after an hour.
You might need to provision a virtual machine to run it on instead. I can recommend using tmux. With tmux, it will be as simple as running tmux and then in the new shell running your script python3 mycode.py. You can then detach using ctrl+b d or simply disconnect. When you reconnect you run tmux attach -dto get back to your script.

A: I will provide you as well the following possibility:
A Bash Builtin command that you could also use is disown. First, run your process/script in the background (using &, or stopping it with ^Z and then restarting with bg):
$ long_operation_command &
[1] 1156

Note that at this point the process is still linked to the session and in case it is closed it will be killed.
  You can the process attached to the session check running jobs in the background:

$ jobs
[1]+  Running  long_operation_command

Therefore you can run disown in order to detach the processes from the session:
$ disown

You can confirm this checking the result of your script or command logging in again or checking with  top the process still running.
Check also this because it could be interesting, i.e. the difference between nohup foo, foo & and $ foo & disown

Different Types of Online Games

Online games are one of the most popular forms of entertainment today, and there are literally thousands of different kinds of these games out there in the world today. A few examples of the different types of online games are video games, role playing games, puzzle games and even online casino games.

Online games are so popular because of the fact that they are so much fun. Many people do not realize how easy it is to play an online game and there are literally hundreds of different kinds of games available on the internet to choose from. One of the best things about playing an online game is that it can be played by anyone of any age and there are usually no set rules for the game and therefore no restrictions on what age you can play it in. This is especially good news for those who are too young to legally get into the store to buy the games that they want to play and to those who have a medical condition that makes it unsafe for them to play a certain type of game.

Supreme Court Chief Justice McLachlin will retire, legacy will endure
OTTAWA — Beverley McLachlin is stepping down as Supreme Court chief justice in mid-December.
McLachlin is the first woman to hold the top job on the high court, and she is also Canada's longest-serving chief justice.
She was sworn in as a justice of the Supreme Court in 1989, and was appointed chief justice 11 years later.
Federally appointed judges can sit until age 75, and McLachlin's mandatory retirement date is Sept. 7, 2018.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau congratulated McLachlin on her coming retirement, saying her judicial accomplishments are unparalleled in Canadian history.
Trudeau says she has been a judicial leader and trailblazer for almost four decades, and that Canadians owe her an immense debt.
In an interview with AdvocateDaily.com, Toronto criminal lawyer Jill Presser says Canada is losing a judicial giantess with McLachlin's retirement.
"For Canadian society, and women in particular, her contributions cannot be overstated," she says.
"Chief Justice McLachlin was the third woman to join the Supreme Court of Canada when Prime Minister Brian Mulroney gave her the nod in 1989 (after Justices Bertha Wilson and Claire l'Heureux-Dube.) She was our first woman chief justice when asked to take the helm by Prime Minister Jean Chretien in 2000."
Presser, principal of Presser Barristers, notes McLachlin has not always advanced the feminist agenda as articulated by Women's rights activists, pointing to the decision in R. v. Seaboyer, in which she wrote for the majority, striking down the rape-shield law.
"She has been a fair-minded judge, defying political pigeon-holing, of finest intellect and sensibility," she says. "The chief justice has a strong commitment to the Charter and civil liberties while being committed to the advancement and protection of the vulnerable."
Presser describes McLachlin as fearless in her judicial decision-making, never eschewing the correct outcome even when that required striking down legislation or making unpopular decisions.
"And she is courageous in her role as the lead jurist of Canada," she says. "For example, she publicly acknowledged that this country committed cultural genocide against its indigenous peoples and she defended herself and her role publicly in a contretemps with then prime minister Stephen Harper."
So although the chief justice never advanced any "agenda" other than justice, she has been an important and inspirational beacon for Canadian women, Presser says.
"The legal profession is notoriously and unfortunately inhospitable to women. We have trouble retaining women in the law. And yet, Chief Justice McLachlin not only survived as a jurist, she thrived," she says. "She serves as a brilliant example of leadership and excellence by a Canadian woman at the highest and most important level of our society.
"She will be sorely missed, but her legacy and ground-breaking example live on."

This predictable soft sound of the lo-fi music protect us from thinking from the unpredictable and Harsh world outside and does helps in relaxation and focus.
The definition of lo-fi music gives us the ingredients required to produce lo-fi music and that is imperfection arising while recording music.
Imperfect music?
Doesn't imperfect music seems unprofessional?
Yes they may seem unprofessional but if it's working then why not use it.

1. As a beginner who has just started to make a lo-fi music they will start by using the samples of chords and melodies from old songs. They will then freeze and flatten the audio or will use chord progression. Noise and distortion are also introduced into the track to make the perfect lo-fi music.

Yes, nowadays lo-fi music is being used by students from all across the world to help them study and focus more on the task at hand.
The floss present in the lo-fi music triggers a portion of the cerebrum that have student focus.
The brain picks out the difference in sound and in turn helps the mind to focus.
Victor Szabo, a music professor explained that the repetition in the lo-fi music makes it predictable, soothing listeners further. The brain can "easily predict on a subconscious level how it will continue to sound," and "The listener can turn their attention away from the sound and toward other things without being surprised or thrown off."
The word Victor Szabo and other music experts use to describe the ultimate effect is "cocooning."
According to researchers at Stanford University, music engages the areas of the brain that control your attention span and your memory retention—two factors that are crucial when it comes to studying effectively.

Lo-fi music can be traced to 1950s rock and roll but the term was first used by DJ William Berger in 1986.
There are no one person or bands that can be credited as the creator or inventor of lo-fi music because lo-fi music are made of technical flaws like distortion, hum or background noise. Thus, anyone can make lo-fi music.

This is a type of sound recording that contains technical flaws that make the recording sound differently compared to the live sound being recorded, such as distortion, hum, background noise, or limited frequency response.

Launched at a City Gathering in January 2019 Bristol's One City Plan presents a long-term vision for Bristol covering the period to 2050. In a short article, first published in The Planner on 28 March 2019, Robin Hambleton offers a commentary on the key features of this new, strategic initiative.
The University of Bristol and the University of the West of England, Bristol are working closely with the Bristol City Office to enhance their contribution to the governance of Bristol and the Bristol city region. The latest iteration is the co-organisation of the Bristol Forum. This important civic event, to be held on 29 March 2019, is designed to advance the problem-solving capacity of the city. Here, in an article first published on the UK higher education website, Wonkhe, on 14 March 2019, Robin Hambleton explains how civic leaders in Bristol are drawing lessons from the imaginative leadership shown by universities in Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
It is distressing to report that two of Bristol's most respected civic leaders have received death threats in recent weeks. Mayor Marvin Rees, who is mixed race, and Deputy Mayor Asher Craig, who is black, have both made reports to Avon and Somerset Police, and a 27 year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of racially aggravated harassment. Here in this post we do not want to dwell o n these shocking incidents. Rather, we want to draw attention to the strengths of Bristol's leadership and highlight the launch of a new and ambitious collaborative effort. Launched at a City Gathering on 11 January 2019 the One City Plan maps out a strategy for Bristol for the period through to 2050. In this article, first published on the Local Government Chronicle website on 21 January 2019, Robin Hambleton suggests that local leaders can make a positive difference to the trajectory of their city.
Can imaginative mayors form progressive governing coalitions that can tackle growing inequality in cities and other social ills? This is the central question addressed in a new series of articles published by the free online journal Metropolitics. In his contribution to this series 'Inclusive Place-Based Leadership: Lesson-Drawing from Urban Governance Innovations in Bristol, UK' Robin Hambleton outlines a way of conceptualising progressive place-based leadership, and reports on the steps now being taken by Bristol's Mayor Marvin Rees, and other civic leaders in the city, to test this model in practice.
David Sweeting has edited a wide-ranging, international book on directly elected mayors. Published by Policy Press in March 2017, under the title Directly elected mayors in urban governance: Impact and practice, this book draws on examples from Europe, the USA and Australasia to examine the impacts, practices and the lively debates about mayoral leadership in different cities and countries. The book advances international understanding of mayoral governance and contains several chapters discussing mayoral leadership in Bristol. To find out more click here.
We have produced a policy report on mayoral governance in Bristol. You can read the report, which includes analysis of data from before and after the introduction of mayoral governance in the city, here.
The report was launched at the Institute for Government on Friday 13th March 2015. You can see the presentations by the mayors of Bristol and Leicester at the event here.


There is such a failure of understanding, at least by me . Such a failure because there seems no end to such human-made suffering – such killing, human upon human, such human-made emotionally-induced violence, such destruction – that we men in our majority cause and have caused, world-wide, year following year, decade following decade, century upon century, millennia after millennia.
For millennia, any and every cause – any ideology, any faith, any belief, any personal emotion, personal loyalty, a chain-of-command – has hallowed our violence, our hatred, our killing. Every century we seem to invent some new excuse – or regurgitate some old excuse – for our unempathic behaviour.
Yet compassion, hope of peace, personal and familial love – those now so familiar muliebral virtues – endure and continue to enchant at least some of us. So much so that many men continue to believe in God, in Allah, or in some inscrutable mechanism such as karma. Are we men then the phenotype of Janus?
So I am returned to whence and where I was, the only fallible personal certainty now being personal and familial love.
Thus it follows – quod erat demonstrandum – that I am still far, so very far, from being wise.
As someone brought up as a Catholic, who in his early years was educated at a Catholic Preparatory School, who entered the noviciate of a Catholic monastery, and who – perhaps unusually – also some years later converted to Islam, lived for a decade as a Muslim, travelled in Muslim lands, and studied the Quran and Sunnah in Arabic, I am dismayed, unsettled, at the killing of an elderly Priest in a Church at Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray in France by two persons who (according to information received so far) were radical Muslims and probably inspired by the Middle-Eastern group ad-Dawlah al-Islamiyah fil 'Iraq wa ash-Sham, named in the lands of the West as Daesh, Isis, and 'Islamic State'.
So dismayed, unsettled, that I have the temerity to break my self-imposed, years-long, silence regarding 'current affairs' and 'current events'. For such a killing of such an elderly religious figure – taken hostage with (according to current and informed reports) two nuns during Mass – is just so dishonourable, so cowardly, that it yet again places (for me at least) into perspective "what is at stake", remembering as I do that quotational phrase because it was said to me in 2001 by a Special Branch (SO12) British police officer shortly after the 9/11 attacks in New York.
What is at stake – as that Special Branch officer, and so many of his colleagues, intuitively knew – is the culture of the West itself, manifest as that culture is in such modern societies as those in Britain, France, and the United States, and created as such a culture has been by hundreds of years of communal and individual hardship and pathei-mathos. For the lands of such a culture are – despite their many imperfections, and in comparison to so many other non-Western lands – places of relative safety and peace and opportunity for the majority of their citizens. Places of law, and order, where so many know – and try to do – what is right, what is just, what is honourable. And places where so many other people, world-wide, hope and seek to reach and live.
What therefore can be done, and is there as some have assumed a clash of 'civilizations' with "us" contrasted with "them"?
As to what can be done, my own fallible answer born as it is from some four decades of experience of extremism and pathei-mathos, is that it seems incumbent upon us to know, to remember, how and why our Western societies came into being, how and why they have been progressively reformed over a century and more, and why it is incumbent on each one of us to be prepared to do what is honourable in the immediacy of the living moment.
In this I recall what another member of SO12 said to me following my arrest in 1998 following allegations of 'conspiracy/incitement to murder' and 'incitement to racial hatred'. Which was that he was simply doing his duty, in an honourable way, according to what was laid down: according to the oath of his office and thus according to the accumulated law of the land, and that it was not for him or his colleagues to judge since such judgement was the prerogative of an established Court of Law so constituted in its longevity that a fair trial was possible. He had guidelines, a supra-personal and well-established duty, while I realized I had none, having been guided for so long only by hubris.
As to whether there is a 'clash of civilizations', my own fallible answer is that there is not; that here, now – as so often in our human past – there is only a clash between the honourable and the dishonourable, and that while such modern societies as those in Britain, France, and the United States, are far from perfect they do often manifest for perhaps a majority what is decent, honourable, especially when compared to the majority of past societies, so that when dishonour occurs in such societies – when some dishonourable deed is done – there are usually individuals, be they Police officers, or soldiers, or journalists, or some citizen, who will seek to redress that dishonour.
For honour is only and ever honour, always the same, while the dishonourable, the cowardly, can hide behind, and have for millennia hidden behind, some cause or ideology or religion or some personal excuse that they or others have manufactured and denoted by some name.
For the fault is not that of some religion named Islam; nor of some extremist version of that religion. The fault is ourselves, our human nature; our propensity – and seemingly, sometimes, our need – to be violent, to find in some cause or some ideology or some religion, an excuse for our desire, our need, to be selfish, dishonourable, violent, or establish a 'name' for ourselves.
What we – in societies such as those in Britain, France, and the United States – have evolved, so slowly, so painfully over a century and more are some reasonable guidelines, a sense of duty, regarding what is honourable and what is dishonourable.
 In Praise Of America And Britain (pdf), 2015.
For him to set about these disrespectful ones with his fists!

The family moved to Montgomery when Rosa was eleven years old. She attended Montgomery Industrial School for Girls where she learned many things she wasn't learning from her life in the segregated South. In Rosa married Mr. Raymond Parks.
The Parks' were long-time activists in the pursuit of civil rights, long before it was popular. Mr Parks was a freedom fighter for the Scottsboro Boys in the s. Both were involved in voter registration drives for blacks. She was also the Youth Director for the organization. On December 1,Rosa Parks boarded a bus as whe was coming home from her work as a tailor's helper at a Montgomery department store. She sat in the "colored section". As the bus began to fill with passengers, there was a white man standing.
The driver asked three black people to stand so the white man could be seated. They moved. Rosa Parks remained seated. She told the driver, "I am not going to move. I have paid my money. Her courageous demonstration altered the course of American history and changed the face of America.
After that historic date in Alabama, Mrs. Parks continued her work in the civil rights movement and received several citations for her outstanding contributions. She received an honorary doctorate from Shaw College in Detroit, Michigan. Parks Shrine was established. The purposes of the committee were to build a home for Mrs. Parks, a museum and conference center.

The center was to house Mrs. Parks' personal papers and memorabilia as well as provide a site for research and study of the civil rights movement.

"House of Gucci" releases behind-the-scenes special, Lady Gaga and other major cast interpretation films
The latest film "House of Gucci" directed by Ridley Scott is waiting to be released.
A few days ago, "House of Gucci" exposed a behind-the-scenes special.
In the special edition, each starring actor appeared to speak, telling the process of his connection with the film, and praised the great achievements of the film.
Especially Salma Hayek, she said that "House of Gucci" is not a typical Ridley Scott film.
Related Post: Ridley Scott responded to the "House of Gucci" prototype: she is not qualified to comment.
"The film is slightly larger than life, and together with the entire crew, you can feel the weight of classic drama."
In addition, this behind-the-scenes special also exposed brand new shots in the film.
The sophisticated lighting and costume props, as well as the photographic aesthetics that are completely different from the current mainstream movies, make "House of Gucci" look extremely textured.
In terms of cast and crew, Lady Gaga plays the heroine Patrizia Reggiani, and Adam Driver plays Maurizio Gucci, who was shot by her.
Jared Leto, who used to be the face of GUCCI perfume, plays Maurizio's cousin.
Al Pacino, who is from an Italian family, plays Jared Let's father and Maurizio's uncle.
"House of Gucci" is adapted from the murder of the Gucci family in the 1990s.
At that time, the heir of the Gucci family was shot to death in front of his office. After investigation, the police discovered that it was Maurizio's ex-wife Patrizia Reggiani who bought the murder.
Patrizia found out that her husband had an affair, but she was not willing to divorce, who was accustomed to a luxurious life. Maurizio forced her to go out. Patrizia felt resentment and made the move.
After the truth came out, Patrizia was called the "fashion black widow."
According to the plan, "House of Gucci" will be released in North America on November 24.

Celebrity hairstylist Jen Atkin has another way you can rosé all day this summer. If sipping on chilled glasses of the pink drink or a wash of rose gold eyeshadow isn't enough to satisfy your craving for all things rosé, you can now slather yourself with it from head-to-toe courtesy of Atkin's haircare line's latest launch.
Ouai's Rose Hair & body Oil ($32; nordstrom.com) is a silicone-free dry oil that's packed with a blend of multitasking, nourishing oils. Absinthium oil rehydrates dry hair and skin, rose hip oil minimizes skin's scars and redness, and shea oil moisturizes dull, dry hair.
Unlike many hair and body oils we've tried, this one soaks into hair and skin fast, so you aren't left with greasy strands from overdosing on product, or forced to stand around while you wait for it to absorb into your skin. One to three pumps is just enough to run it through your hair from roots to ends, and we recommend doubling it if you're using it to soften rough, dry skin.
While the oil calms frizz, flyaways, and smooths skin just as well as its counterparts, its rose scent is unlike one that goes by any other name. Instead of taking a literal approach to the floral smell, Atkin included notes of bergamot, lychee, cedar-wood, and white musk. Think of it as an ocean-rose scent.
Your rosé obsession just went next level.


Let me know what you think. It was a tough shoot...About 60 attempts that netted 2 keepers. Used the 12-24mm f/4 on the D300s--the wide angled lens gave enough DoF as well as sufficient room to do some panning. Also used a tripod and the slow burst mode on the D300s.
#2 was panned at 1/6 of a sec shutter: I prefer this one.
Your panning, while it may have taken a few shots, was well worth the realism it added. I hope you like my efforts. Id hang this up on a wall, at least one in the train room.
Bynx: How on earth did you do what you did :confused:??? I know it has something to do with masking, but this is alien territory for me since I am deficient in that aspect of Photoshop. Pray tell. What is really cool is that it takes the train out of my basement and places it smack-dab in the middle of Colorado!!
Thank you Ned. I too thought that the image of speed was too fast for a freight train. I tried various shutter speeds, panning speeds, and train speeds in my tests. In the various other combinations that I tried the models appeared static (to my eyes). The only ones that displayed motion were the ones that looked like the train had "speed" to it. So it was like "stop" or "racing". Image #1 above was about the slowest I could get it to look. Of course if the models I have were high speed "bullet" trains, this effect would fit very well.Interestingly when I have tried panning shots of actual freight trains, the speed is significantly exaggerated in the image!
But....since you've now raised the bar on me once more, I'm going to have to figure out how to convey a slower speed. I'd welcome any suggestions by other readers of this thread.
Also, I tried some other static shots from a lower angle--that which conveyed the view that a "scale" human would see if he/she was standing trackside. I'll post them in a separate thread.
jehan these look great. really gives your model trains alot of life! very creative use of panning and are my favorites from your model train pics. i just love seeing them in motion.
Jelpee it was really quite easy. Just close cropped the top line of the hill and continued up the sides to enclose your basement room. Then I found a nice pic with clouds I liked and pasted it into the selection. I applied a bit of noise nijna on the clouds and cropped the bottom of the pic off. Glad you like it. As for motion. First off I never thought of the fact its a freight train. The speed you have simulated is not as near fast as what you could do with a longer shutter speed. I think the amount of sideways blurr is fine. You dont even need to shoot the scene, just close crop the train and apply a horizontal motion blur to the background. Give it enough blur to match a slow speed or fast speed.
Thanks Dustin...both Eetu (Ned) and Bynx suggested I try this and it has openned up a whole new aspect of model railroading photography. With Bynx's post processing suggestion, take a look at what I did below!!
You dont even need to shoot the scene, just close crop the train and apply a horizontal motion blur to the background. Give it enough blur to match a slow speed or fast speed.
Bynx...all I can say is "Genius"! Thanks also for the tip of using PSE to simulate the blur. While it demostrates no photorgraphic skill on my part, the impact is quite impressive. Take a look at this CSX locomotive as it screams out of the tunnel. At 16oo pixels wide, I think I feel the ground shake:speechless-smiley3:..!!!

Taiwan Economic News received information from its industry sources on CDMA version of the iPhone 4. The newspaper reveals that Foxconn, which is a subsidiary of Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., will ship the CDMA-enabled iPhones 4 to Apple in the next year. It is also suggested that the device will be offered by China Telecom and Verizon Wireless.
But Foxconn will not be the only producer of CDMA iPhone. Rumors had it in May that Pegatron won the contract for the device and that it will allegedly start the production in November. Foxconn's share of the order is declared to be 15 million units.
Yesterday wireless carriers Vodafone and O2 started offering the iPhones in Germany. Previously Apple's handset had been carried exclusively by T-Mobile. Nowadays the carrier continues to sell the device. The iPhone is offered in a variety of plans and contracts; one of them even allows to buy the phone for 1 euro.
German version of Apple's Online Store also started offering iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS, which are contract-free and unlocked so they can "work with the wireless carrier of your choice". The site also reminds the iPhones work only with GSM networks, and the latest generation of handsets requires a micro-SIM card.
The bloger Richy Rich obtained some interesting photos of prototype CDMA iPhone in Device Verification Test phase. He believes that pictures show us the device run by the "Inferno" operating system. Same one was seen on photos and videos of iPhone 4 prototype. It is known that the rumored CDMA-variant of the iPhone 4 has code number "N92DVT", which you may see on one of the shots. New iPhone version is expected to be universal, support both CDMA and GSM standards.
iPhone 4 Variation Hits Final Field Testing Stage? iPhone 5 at Engineering Verification Test Stage?
Boy Genius Report's source claims that Apple almost completes the final field testing of a tweaked version of the iPhone 4, known as "iPhone3,2", which is expected to be the Verizon or CDMA-compatible iPhone 4 model. The iPhone3,2 will have similar SIM card slot to iPhone 4 slot, which is not suitable for CDMA phone. Perhaps, Apple is going to release model, which will provide support for both GSM and CDMA and will be compatible with all carriers. The source also reports that the fifth-generation iPhone has entered the "engineering verification test" stage, which the CDMA-based iPhone 4 completed in May.
The biggest mobile trade show in the world, the Mobile World Congress, will host the first-ever Macworld Mobile next February in Barcelona, Spain. The new Macworld Mobile will be focused on developers who create applications for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. The event is scheduled for Feb. 14-17, 2011, in Barcelona.
UPDATE: Now you should use RedSn0w, PwnageTool or Sn0wBreeze to activate.
A group of hackers found a security flaw on the web servers of AT&T and after obtaining users' 3G iPad SIM addresses (also known as ICC ID) from the web made an automated script attack to receive their email addresses.
According to Gawker report, now hacked users may "be vulnerable to spam marketing and malicious hacking". SIM addresses are easy enough to obtain, because many people have already posted their ICC ID numbers in photos published on Flickr for instance. But most of them have their e-mails published too, so it is likely that they have already received such spam.
Apple iPad edition with 3G uses Micro-SIM standart. Steve Jobs never said a word about this feature on iPad presentation, which seems pretty strange. Micro-SIM, also known as 3FF or 3rd generation SIM card, isn't supported yet by any iPhone or other popular devices.
3FF SIMs were developed to fit into devices that are too small for a regular SIM. Regular SIM-card has a 15 mm x 25 mm size, while Micro-SIM measures 12 mm x 15 mm. It is still not presented in North America, but T-Mobile and AT&T inform that negotiations to get them are on their way since these companies support the iPad with different data plans.
But what is the reason of making Micro-SIM support in iPad? Maybe it is necessitated because of a lack of space in the device that already has a double size of an iPhone? Also it is very likely that Micro-SIM will be integrated into the 4th generation iPhone, and then what would Apple do with all that extra space?

The Canvas shadow is in foreground but should be in background, that means behind the android:background="@drawable/circly" and the text.

At last an important note:
I know there are a lot of open libraries to get a floating action button. Please don't refer me. I want to find my "own" solution so style a textView.

A: The solution was really easy. The background setting by XML definition 'android_background' is drawn in the draw(...) – not in the onDraw(...) – method.
So, all what I had to do was to draw my shadow in the draw(...) method and then call the super.draw(...) method for drawing the background (over my shadow).
Furthermore in the super.draw(...) method the onDraw(...) method is invoked for drawing the text of the TextView.
The same code as above with a little change:
public class ShadowTextView extends TextView {

    ...

    // overriding of the draw() method instead of the onDraw(...) method

    @Override
    public void draw(Canvas canvas) {

        canvas.drawRect(0, 0, canvas.getWidth(), canvas.getHeight(), mShadow);

        /*
            Draw the background setting by XML definition android:background
         */
        super.draw(canvas);

    }

    ...

}

Canadian star Drake withdraws 2 Grammy nominations from final ballot
AP , Tuesday 7 Dec 2021
Drake wants no part in competing for a Grammy.
The four-time Grammy winner and his management asked the Recording Academy to withdraw his two nominations from the final-round ballot, two people familiar with the decision told The Associated Press. They said Drake's request was honored by the academy.

The people spoke to the AP on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicity on the matter.
On Monday, the Grammys has already removed Drake's nominations from the nominee list on its website.
Drake was nominated for best rap album "Certified Lover Boy" and "Way 2 Sexy" featuring Future and Young Thug, which earned a nomination for best rap performance.
Drake has called out the Grammys in previous years. The rapper has shown his displeasure for not being nominated outside the rap category. He also took aim at the importance of the Grammy Awards during his acceptance speech after "God's Plan" won best rap song in 2019.
"If there's people who have regular jobs who are coming out in the rain, in the snow, spending their hard earned money to buy tickets to come to your shows, you don't need this right here. I promised you, you already won," said Drake while holding his trophy. Before the rapper continued, his speech was cut off.
The Grammys will take place in Los Angeles on Jan. 31.

Mahlon Dickerson, född 17 april 1770 i Morris County, New Jersey, död 5 oktober 1853 i Morris County, New Jersey, var en amerikansk politiker. Han var guvernör i delstaten New Jersey 1815-1817. Han representerade New Jersey i USA:s senat 1817-1833 (klass 2 fram till 1829 och klass 1 1829-1833). Han var USA:s marinminister 1834-1838. Brodern Philemon Dickerson var guvernör i New Jersey 1836-1837.

Dickerson utexaminerades 1789 från College of New Jersey (numera Princeton University). Han studerade sedan juridik och inledde 1793 sin karriär som advokat.

Dickerson efterträdde 1815 William Sanford Pennington som guvernör i New Jersey. Han valdes sedan till USA:s senat som demokrat-republikan och efterträdde 4 mars 1817 John Condit som senator för New Jersey. Han avgick 30 januari 1829 som senator och efterträddes av Theodore Frelinghuysen men blev omedelbart omvald som efterträdare till Ephraim Bateman i klass 1. Han satt sedan i senaten fram till slutet av Batemans mandatperiod år 1833 och efterträddes av Samuel L. Southard. Dickerson var anhängare av Andrew Jackson och han gick med i demokraterna.

Hans Denissen needed a change.
Playing soccer in the Dutch second division was no longer fun. The stadiums were empty. Younger teammates became more entitled and less accomplished with each passing year.
So Denissen, 27, packed up his young family and moved halfway around the world to South Texas, where he has found new life as the offensive linchpin of the San Antonio Scorpions.
Travelling to strange locales is nothing new to Denissen, who also spent seasons in Finland and Cyprus. When the chance to play in the United State arose, he took it despite never having set foot in the country before.
So far, so good for all parties involved.
Denissen grew up idolizing Arsenal legend Dennis Bergkamp, who likewise patterned himself after the original Dutch master, Johan Cruyff. Adjusted for scale, Denissen's game honors the Dutch ideal of "total football," with skill level trumping static positional labels.
He already has filled a variety of roles this season, primarily as a true striker or a withdrawn link between the midfield and power forward Pablo Campos.
Denissen also switched to the flank after teammate Walter Ramirez was sent off during Tuesday's U.S. Open Cup victory over the Laredo Heat. He earned a standing ovation for his hard work, not only joining in attack but tracking back to play defense.
Denissen's intelligent field play has become a key element for the Scorpions, who play at FC Edmonton at 3:05 p.m. today.
But even though Denissen leads the North American Soccer League with 27 shots, including 17 on goal, Scorpions coach Tim Hankinson would like to see the Dutchman be even more aggressive.
Denissen's absence was impossible to miss during the 2-0 home victory May 19 over Edmonton, a match he skipped with a strained hamstring. As long as he's healthy, Denissen has a permanent place in Hankinson's lineup.

Trump demands that Turkey stops war in Syria
Trump also said he wanted to stop a trade agreement with Turkey, worth at least 100 billion dollars (more than 90 billion euros). Vice President Mike Pence also said that Trump called Turkey's Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Monday to ask for an immediate ceasefire in Syria.
When the United States removed its troops from northeastern Syria last week, Trump was already threatening with economic sanctions if Turkey were to act inhumane when Syria invaded. "Unfortunately, Turkey does not seem to be aware of the humanitarian consequences of the invasion," Trump said Monday.
With the support of both the Democratic and Republican parties in parliament, Trump wants to execute an order for further sanctions as quickly as possible. Those sanctions would be targeted specifically against Turkish government officials for their contribution to the military operation. He wants to deny them access to the US and seize their American property.
Turkey started the raid on northeastern Syria on Sunday after Erdogan told Trump in a phone call that he was planning to continue a long-planned action against the Kurdish allies of America in northeastern Syria.
Trump then announced that he would withdraw American troops from the region. The American president was subsequently accused by both his own party, the Democrats and foreign partners of abandoning the Kurdish forces who were jointly responsible in the area for defeating the Islamic State (IS).
The European Union condemned the Turkish invasion of Syria on Monday. All 28 Member States have also promised to limit the supply of weapons to Turkey. All foreign ministers of the EU countries have agreed that Turkey no longer meets the European conditions for receiving weapons.

Advocacy as a Vincentian is for the poor, seeking to work with our elected officials, regardless of political affiliation, for justice for all.
There are many issues that keep people in poverty but as Vincentians through our home visits we have a more tangible view of the things that prevent upward mobility. When we speak of the needs of the poor we are not using statistics or graphs but have taken steps to walk into the reality of the lives of the poor. When Vincentians speak, it is from the heart. It is our Christian calling founded in our Catholic faith that has brought us into the lives of the disenfranchised.
Jesus walked as He taught, never complaining. He did not choose those who looked most like him but instead those whom society had shunned away.
Vincentians are drawn to the plight of the poor. Faced with the difficulty of turning a blind eye to the plight of the needy, we give of ourselves. We are different from other charitable organizations by the structure of how we serve our clients. The need to have a deeper understanding of the situation at hand is at the core of our home visits. Time spent with a family in their comfort zone allows them to speak more freely ensuring whatever assistance we offer, be it food, clothing, or shelter, appropriately meets the need at hand. All that we do stays faithful to the Principles of Catholic Social Teachings.
Poverty touches all of us regardless of whether you are the one in poverty, a family member or a random stranger. Its effects run past our desire not to see the homeless person at the traffic stop light or quickly to slip a couple of dollars to them, so they move on from your car. Sadly, this does very little to help their cause but instead enables them to stay where they are. Poverty is in the face of the little girl in your daughter's class whose parents are not able to provide three meals a day for her. Poverty is in the face of your neighbor who lost his job.
No matter your background or roads traveled, please think seriously about joining us.
Advocacy for the poor is not about being on one side of the political aisle or the other. As Vincentian VOP we are "placed by Providence on neutral ground ... in order to act as a mediator" (Frederic Ozanam November 5, 1986). Since most issues affecting the poor are brought about by the policies in place, as advocates for the poor we need to take it upon ourselves to ensure that those that are making the policies are fully informed about the plight of the poor. Information is equally effective if shared with our neighbors and fellow parishioners too.
