WhatsApp's 'Expiring Media' feature will work like this | Whatsapp new features 2020 | Mysmartmobiles.in
My Smart Mobiles September 26, 2020
WhatsApp will give users information about the expiring media feature through a pop-up message. This pop-up message will say, "This media will disappear once you leave this chat".
WhatsApp 2.20.201.6 beta for Android has got a glimpse of the new feature, which will be called 'Expiring Media'. As the name suggests, this feature will make media files sent to users such as images, videos and GIFs disappear after a single view. Initially, information about this feature was obtained through WhatsApp 2.20.201.1 beta. But the latest beta version has now suggested how this feature will ultimately work for users.
As seen in the screenshots shared by WhatsApp feature tracker WABetaInfo of WhatsApp 2.20.201.6 beta, the instant messaging app will inform users receiving the message about the expiring media feature via a pop-up message. This pop-up message will say, "This media will disappear once you leave this chat" (This media file will disappear as soon as you leave the chat). This message will be visible to the user on the shared media file using the new feature.
Apart from this, in a screenshot shared through the source it can also be seen that as soon as the user receiving the message leaves the chat, a bubble will appear which will say "View once photo expired". WhatsApp will also offer a dedicated button for this feature, which will help in sending files enabling the expiring media feature, this button can be called View Once.
The reference is a part of the latest WhatsApp beta version, though the feature is not visible to end users. However, the information is progressing in terms of the information revealed earlier, it can be expected that in future it can be made available to at least beta testers.
Apart from expiring messaging features, it can also bring some new features, which have been part of the app's plans for some time. Last month, clear evidence of this was seen in WhatsApp 2.20.197.10 beta.
Let me tell you, WhatsApp's expiring media feature is much like Instagram, in which the photos and videos sent by users in direct messages disappear automatically.

Q: Reading the data from file and plotting fft I want to read data from the file and plot the fft of it.
I have used the scipy's fft function to plot the fft of the synthetically generated signal data however while I am trying to save the generated signal data and plot the fft I am getting the peaks as I was getting but the value of the amplitude and frequency is off as compared to the Original plotting.I found problem with the second fft function.

Assassination Attempt On Right-Wing Brazilian Presidential Candidate
Bolsonaro Expected To Recover Quickly
by Kris Malysz September 6, 2018, 5:46 pm 18.2k Views
A striking video which surfaced just today shows Brazilian presidential candidate Jair Bolsonaro being stabbed in the stomach as he is carried through the street by supporters at a rally.
The incident occurred at a campaign stop in in Minas Gerais, in southeastern Brazil. It was reported that Bolsonaro was wearing a bulletproof vest at the time, and he was quickly escorted away by security guards. The campaign stated that the wound was "superficial."
Bolsonaro, a former army officer who served during Brazil's military dictatorship (which he much admires), is a right-wing populist campaigning on anti-corruption and traditional values who has attracted considerable domestic and international attention. He supports allowing Brazilians to own guns in response to a persistently high violent crime rate, and has floated Duterte-style methods to deal with the nation's extreme drug problem. Bolsonaro is also known for making controversial statements, such as praising the Chilean anti-communist dictator Augusto Pinochet, and that he would rather his son die in an accident than be gay.
His strongest support comes from the growing minority of Brazilian Evangelicals, and most of his base is under the age of 34. Persistent and shocking levels of corruption have also made Brazilians deeply suspicious not just of their politicians but of the very institution of democracy. Bolsonaro paints himself as an outsider warring against the rotting establishment, and has often made statements highly critical of democracy and supporting of authoritarianism.
Despite, or in many cases because of, his frank language combined with his clean political record, Bolsonaro has been rising in the polls. He is currently the frontrunner with 22%. However, if disgraced leftist former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, currently in prison due to corruption, were allowed to stand, he would lead with 39%. In addition, polls show Bolsonaro losing in a run-off to most other candidates.
Still, reaching the presidency may not be impossible for the man who eagerly accepts the styling of "Trump of the Tropics," and who recently added Trump's own former chief strategist, the populist godfather Steve Bannon, to his team as an advisor. It remains to be seen how news of the assassination attempt will play into his chances.
Bolsonaro is expected to leave the hospital tomorrow.

I have two new essays that went live today. Below are excerpts and links to each one.
"Is there a Doctor in the Marriage?" is in this week's Modern Love column in the NYTimes!!!
I gazed out the window. For years, marriage had seemed as distant and inscrutable to me as the green-and-brown patchwork below. It was, I had thought, the kind of tame choice that signals a loss of momentum and spontaneity.
I had felt giddy about love but ambivalent about becoming a wife. The word itself seemed like an erasure, privileging domesticity over desire, association over achievement. In marriage, I had seen women lose their names, their ambition.
By the time I met my husband, my critique of marriage had already begun to soften. I was almost 30, and the adventures of single life were losing their appeal. Here was a man who made gumbo from scratch, met me for runs after work, helped me train for my first half-marathon, watched my dog when I was away and surprised me with yogurt pie (a family recipe I mentioned in passing) when I was feeling down.
The second essay, titled "Gone from My Heart: Violence and Anger in the Poetry Workshop," is up at VIDA: Women in the Literary Arts, one of my very favorite literary organizations.
A subset uses this assignment to document violence. They write about violence they've seen and violence they've felt, sexual and domestic violence—the kinds of gendered violence that are typically silenced. Often, these students—nearly always women—tell me they're writing from their lives.
I don't believe in avoiding difficult topics, not in the classroom. Still, I can be a worst-case-scenario-thinker, and, when students share work that makes them particularly vulnerable, I fret. So much can erupt in a classroom. Someone might challenge the validity of an experience. The writer could get defensive. Fellow classmates could get offensive. The conversation might trigger a panic attack. A class isn't a single organism—it's fifteen or twenty or, even, thirty distinct human beings. Classroom control is crucial. It's also an illusion.


Easy, collagen matcha. This recipe is pretty straightforward, but the ingredients and execution can change it entirely. Maybe not the taste necessarily, but the ritual of it. Which is, as you probably know, what I'm all about. I started making my own nut milks this year – almond, hemp, cashew, macadamia – and it has changed the game entirely. If you've never had real nut milk before (before you ask, no – store bought, gum-filled, preservative-dependent nut milks are not real nut milk) it will rock your world. You'll never turn back. Try it. Then thank me, or curse me. Nutever.
So in this recipe I'll offer you two ways that you can take on the Easy, Collagen Matcha. It's not only delicious, but a great way to kickstart your morning, no matter what you have on the agenda for the day.
Bring water to a soft boil. Before adding it to your matcha, test the temperature and make sure it is no more than 175°. Anything higher will burn your matcha. Add to your matcha one splash at a time. You may only use about half of the water, if that.
Whisk with chasen until all clumps are gone.
Pour into nut milk and add 1 scoop of Marine Collagen. I used Vital Proteins, but you can use any collagen you have.
Add vanilla bean, if using.
Finally, swirl around with a chopstick/spoon or put a top on if using a mason jar and shake well.
Add all inredients to a blender or cup.

A new study, "Global Warming Energy Restrictions Threaten U.S. National Security," shows climate change is not a danger to U.S. national security.
The use of fossil fuels benefits the United States and its national security, states the report, published by The Heartland Institute, which also publishes Environment & Climate News. On the other hand, laws and regulations proposed to fight climate change, such as federal and state restrictions on carbon dioxide emissions, carbon dioxide taxes, and subsidies for select renewable energy technologies, endanger national security, the report states.
Large increases in crop yields, which have provided the United States with unparalleled food security, are a result of modest warming since the late nineteenth century, the study finds.
The United States has more combined coal, natural gas, and oil resources than any other nation in the world, the report notes. This energy dominance provides the nation with economic advantages, increased international leverage, a greater ability to help our allies economically and militarily, and expanded military power.
The study notes energy costs largely determine economic performance, including the development of technological innovations, all of which enhances military and diplomatic power. Because every proposal to fight climate change would increase energy costs and reduce its reliability, implementing these policies would make the United States more vulnerable economically, geopolitically, and militarily, especially to global competitors such as China and Russia, the study reports.
Global warming alarmists are wrong to claim climate change increases global tensions through bad weather and drought, says James Taylor, a senior fellow with The Heartland Institute and author of the report.
"Alarmists frequently assert global warming is a threat multiplier because it will cause crop failures, droughts, and extreme weather events that exacerbate political and military tensions," said Taylor. "However, the science clearly shows as our planet has warmed, crop yields regularly set records nearly every year, and there has been no increase in droughts, or hurricanes, or any other extreme weather or climate events.
"To the extent global warming is impacting threat multipliers, it is reducing geopolitical and economic threats," Taylor said.
Climate regulations restricting fossil fuel use or raising energy prices undermine the U.S. economy and national security, says Taylor.
"A strong economy is absolutely necessary to fund and support a powerful military," said Taylor. "By imposing expensive, economy-killing energy sources on America, global warming alarmists would severely undercut national security.
"Economic prosperity is important to sustaining a military able to combat threats to Americans," Taylor said.
To enhance national security, Taylor writes, policymakers should (1) encourage greater production of U.S. domestic conventional energy resources, (2) encourage optimal use of domestic conventional energy resources in the American economy, (3) support more U.S. conventional energy exports, and (4) resist calls to impose carbon dioxide restrictions on the economy.

Review by richardh
This all a bit humdrum to me when compared to wonderfull music like Tangram.Its well produced though and has a functional quality and the synths are atmospheric and strong.However its totally lacking in any originality and has little in the way of any real thought in composition as it just seems to tootle along ineffectually.Truly only for TD completionists.

Review by Neu!mann
Longtime fans of Tangerine Dream know exactly where to look for Jerome Froese (the infant son of band leader Edgar Froese) on just about all of their classic early album covers. And here he was again in 1992, suddenly grown to young adulthood, and this time joining his dad as a full-fledged member of the (yet again) re-constituted group.
The question was whether this surprise injection of young blood would help invigorate a once vital but by then all but exhausted creative spirit. Not immediately, it seemed. I belatedly found this album soon after hearing the band's pedestrian 1988 effort "Optical Race", and was surprised (and more than a little discouraged) to note how little had changed in the intervening four years. The equipment was no doubt more sophisticated, but the music was (once again) stuck in the same shallow rut, proof that all the state-of- the-art electronics on Earth can't buy a decent melody.
At this low point in their long (and even now still very much active) lifespan the group had devolved from electronic artists to wannabe rock stars making electronic music: a subtle distinction perhaps, but a necessary one. Half the album is credited to Edgar and Jerome; the rest to Jerome and Edgar, but for all the difference between them the whole thing might just as well have been composed and performed by a machine.
The best tracks (a relative measure, to be sure) are at least blessed with enough energy to offset the lack of any genuine invention: "Graffiti Street", "City Dwarves", and the even more oddly titled album closer "Girls On Broadway". The rest of it is featureless, homogeneous filler, pleasant enough as a way to pass the time but hardly making any demands on your attention and/or imagination.
Tangerine Dream certainly wasn't going to win any new disciples with this set. And the band's older, more discriminating fans could only defend it out of stubborn loyalty, still waiting (as they were by then all-too accustomed) for something better next time.
Posted Monday, April 30, 2007 | Review this album | Report (Review #120300)
While by no means a 100% accurate thermometer, it is often possible to gauge how much effort has gone into an album by the quality of the associated packaging. On that basis, "Rockoon" has all the feel of an album churned out as quickly as possible. The cover image of a cog bearing the album name, the complete lack of a booklet as such, and the basic sleeve notes all combine to give the feel of an album which neither the band or the record company wished to promote with any great enthusiasm.
This 1992 album represents one of the many new phases in the life of Tangerine Dream. Here we find Jerome Froese, son of founder Edgar Froese, signing up as a fully fledged band member. Jerome is broken in pretty gently through some ambient, almost new age compositions which tend to be pleasant but unremarkable.
The addition of lead guitar (Zlatko Perica) and flute plus sax (Richi Wester) on "Red Roadster" make this one of the standout pieces, but even here the ubiquitous synths of Edgar are the dominant sounds. Perica's lead guitar work can be found on several other tracks too, at least offering an element of variety in the sound. His guitar work here tends to be largely improvisational. The sax returns on "Lifted veil", lighting up the track and setting it apart as a real highlight. Unfortunately, this turns out to be the shortest track on the album at 3½ minutes.
With the incredible number of albums released under the Tangerine Dream moniker, it is inevitable that some will seem ordinary and largely superfluous, while remaining a pleasant listen. That sums up "Rockoon" perfectly.

It is obvious that the nineties are not the best TD period.
The band (or "A" man?) released an awful lot of soundtracks and here and there, were able to "place" some studio or live recordings in between like "Rockoon". This album holds few great moments (if any) to tell the truth.
Of course, there aren't deadly blunders either, but the whole feels like no passion, no direction, no ? Just the minimum service. But can the devoted fan be pleased with such an album? The answer is easily "no" (since I believe to be part of the devoted TD fans).
What's available here, is just a conjugation of short to middle length ambient tracks played without great texture, I'm afraid. Now, in my earlier thirty TD reviews or so, I have mostly always have been quite raving about the band. So: when it is not as good, I also have to tell it out here.
And this almost hour long exercise is not a big deal of great music. Some fine guitar during "Graffiti Street" perhaps?But this is really too "short" as far as I'm concerned. At best some decent feel like "Spanish Love" (has this anything to do with my Mexican wife?).
Some fine saxing in "Lifted Veil" do bring some added value, but the whole of this album is somewhat flat ("Penguin Reference" or " Body Corporate"). It is obvious that this sort of album is not made for a discovery of this great band. Only targeted towards seriously die-hard fans.
This is only the fourth TD album which I rate with two stars. Out of a myriad so far (but the story is to be continued). This sufficiently shows that this effort can be easily skipped.

SPECIAL COLLABORATOR RIO/Avant/Zeuhl,Neo & Post/Math Teams
And then there were two...
At least rick Wakeman named the works with his sons as "Wakeman and Wakeman". This is a "Froese and Froese" album, first of all. Not another soundtrack,luckily, but I don't see a big difference. The tracks are made of the now usual electronic very borderline with newage, with some more guitar respect to the past, but sounding like what Pete Bardens was doing 10 years before.
Not being a movie soundtrack gives the duo the possibility of placing some longer tracks, but the word "longer" is too streched for a 8 minutes track when speaking of a band once used to place a track by each LP side.
I won't go track by track because they all sound very similar. Not bad at all, but after 10 years of this stuff, fans would have expected something different, also because of Jerome. As TD collector and fan I quite like also this album, but I can randomly choose everything from 1982 to 1992 and very likely find this kid of things. The bad is that I can find this kind of things also on newage compilations of the same period.

Review by Modrigue
As a big fan of the 1970-1985 periods of the band, I was really curious to listening to this controversial opus. Is "Rockoon" the worst TD album ever? I wouldn't say so. The band had reached a dead-end with "Melrose". Paul Haslinger has left, the german band is now Froese and son. At least they slightly evolved from the uninspired new-age material they produced during the late 80's, by incorporating a more rock-oriented music, and a tiny bit of saxophone.
Although the second half of the record is rather flat, the first half contains some pleasant and dynamic tracks. Nevertheless, these tunes are not innovative or terrific either. At the same time, the new electro scene revolution was starting. Progressive influenced formations like THE ORB, FUTURE SOUND OF LONDON or APHEX TWIN were offering much more modern and refreshing compositions. The beginning of 90's errance period for TANGERINE DREAM.
I find "Rockoon" less boring than the previous "Melrose" and more lively than the next "Turn of the Tides". If you enjoy spacey rock guitars and if you're not afraid by dated electronic sounds, you may appreciate this record.

Today's society has entered a highly informational society, and the IT industry has become a powerful driving force for social informationization. The 5G era, automatic driving, car collision avoidance system, high-speed large-capacity memory, positioning system, Internet of things and other applications require high-frequency, high-speed and large-capacity storage and transmission of electronic materials and electronic components. The function of the signal. The development of high-frequency copper clad laminates has become a topic of great concern to PCB manufacturers and CCL manufacturers worldwide. High-frequency materials represented by PTFE have low dielectric constant and dielectric loss, and excellent heat resistance have been widely used in the high frequency field.
High-frequency copper clad laminate processing using PTFE as a substrate requires a high temperature of 380 ° C or higher for press bonding. This puts higher demands on presses and laminated steel sheets.
At present, the highest pressing temperature of various types of pressed steel sheets which are commonly used in ordinary FR4 press is about 280 °C.

The Page was created in 2012, when she was only 15 years old. But Jespersen, now 23 and a professional baker, didn't notice it until 2015, when she searched her name. Her reaction was "What the fuck?" "How did this happen?" she told BuzzFeed News.
Jespersen had no idea how the Page was created. She didn't make it herself, and she doesn't know anyone who would have made it on her behalf. [...] Some users suggested that perhaps some friends had created an "interest" in her butthole on their own Facebook profiles as a joke, and this triggered a Page to be created automatically.
To date, the "business" of Jespersen's butthole has no reviews (though it invites them), and no Stories have been added to it. [...]
The exact street address of the so-called business isn't listed, but the pin on the map shows the precise location of her former home (she and her family no longer live there).
What has really vexed Jespersen is that she's been unable to get it taken down. Since she discovered the Page in 2015, she's reported it several times -- but Facebook has said it isn't in violation of its community standards. [...]
"I feel like if anybody has found it, it would probably feel way too weird to talk to me about it," she said. "And if I didn't get a job over it, they definitely wouldn't call me and say, 'Hey, found the Page about your butthole, not going to hire you, bye.'"
And the oh-so-predictable punchline:
(Facebook removed the Page after this article was published).

Another day, another MITM attempt
Dear Lazyweb,
Can anyone explain to me how to install "Xposed Framework" into an Android emulator on macOS? None of the instructions I've found work.
Rumor has it that this "JustTrustMe" plugin will make mitmproxy work with pinned apps. I got Xposed from here and the installer from here (why isn't it bundled?) and tried it with a "Google API 26" x86_64 emulator. The installer keeps telling me my device isn't rooted, but I've done "adb root".
Or should I be using Frida instead, which looks almost-incomprehensibly more complicated?

Q: Accidentally changed the url I happened to accidentally change the url from my website ...
I have read a so many articles about what to do and I understand that I probably need to change something from a database, and that it is easiest to do through phpmyadmin, but when I get there it looks nothing like the guides i've been watching. I can't find anywhere I can log in, but it seems that I should download it ... so then I did it and it felt like it seemed more like a strange search tool ...
I do not understand, someone please help me!!

A: Re: the comments above: Read http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL
It says:

There are four easy methods to change the Site URL manually. Any of
  these methods will work and perform much the same function.

And the Codex outlines each one. The first one is the easiest; add these lines to wp-config.php with FTP or your hosting control panel file manager:
define('WP_HOME','http://example.com');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://example.com');

Saint-Siffret est une commune française située dans l'est du département du Gard, en Occitanie.

Exposée à un climat méditerranéen, elle est drainée par l'Alzon, le Merlançon. Incluse dans les gorges du Gardon.

Saint-Siffret est une commune rurale qui compte  en , après avoir connu une forte hausse de la population depuis 1968.  Elle fait partie de l'aire d'attraction d'Uzès. Ses habitants sont appelés les Saint-Siffretois ou  Saint-Siffretoises.

Le patrimoine architectural de la commune comprend un immeuble protégé au titre des monuments historiques : le château de Moulin-Neuf, inscrit en 2007.

Géographie
La commune est située sur les contreforts d'un vaste plateau calcaire massif urgonien d'altitude moyenne de 180 m. Toute la partie sud est boisée de chênes et de garrigues, sauf quelques enclaves cultivées sur des sols de lœss rouge. Dans la partie nord s'étend la plaine.

Entre les deux, un coteau orienté est-ouest, exposé au nord. Le sous-sol de ces pentes est une marne beige tendre recouverte de lœss, injectée par endroits de nappes de graviers anguleux issus de la gélification ancienne des calcaires urgoniens et de leur transport torrentiel. L'intérêt de ce coteau est qu'à certains endroits la roche ancienne remonte à moins d'un mètre et apparaît même en quelques affleurements, les épandages caillouteux sont également localisés.

Le village est situé à 4 km d'Uzès et 25 km de Nîmes.

Climat

Le climat qui caractérise la commune est qualifié, en 2010, de « climat méditerranéen franc », selon la typologie des climats de la France qui compte alors huit grands types de climats en métropole. En 2020, la commune ressort du type « climat méditerranéen » dans la classification établie par Météo-France, qui ne compte désormais, en première approche, que cinq grands types de climats en métropole. Pour ce type de climat, les hivers sont doux et les étés chauds, avec un ensoleillement important et des vents violents fréquents.

Les paramètres climatiques qui ont permis d'établir la typologie de 2010 comportent six variables pour les températures et huit pour les précipitations, dont les valeurs correspondent à la normale 1971-2000. Les sept principales variables caractérisant la commune sont présentées dans l'encadré suivant.

Avec le changement climatique, ces variables ont évolué. Une étude réalisée en 2014 par la Direction générale de l'Énergie et du Climat complétée par des études régionales prévoit en effet que la  température moyenne devrait croître et la pluviométrie moyenne baisser, avec toutefois de fortes variations régionales. Ces changements peuvent être constatés sur la station météorologique de Météo-France la plus proche, « Cavillargues », sur la commune de Cavillargues, mise en service en 1961 et qui se trouve à  à vol d'oiseau, où la température moyenne annuelle est de  et la hauteur de précipitations de  pour la période 1981-2010.
Sur la station météorologique historique la plus proche, « Nîmes-Courbessac », sur la commune de Nîmes,  mise en service en 1922 et à , la température moyenne annuelle évolue de  pour la période 1971-2000, à  pour 1981-2010, puis à  pour 1991-2020.

Milieux naturels et biodiversité

Espaces protégés
La protection réglementaire est le mode d'intervention le plus fort pour préserver des espaces naturels remarquables et leur biodiversité associée.

La commune fait partie de la zone de transition des gorges du Gardon, un territoire d'une superficie de  reconnu réserve de biosphère par l'UNESCO en 2015 pour l'importante biodiversité qui la caractérise, mariant garrigues, plaines agricoles et yeuseraies.

Urbanisme

Typologie
Saint-Siffret est une commune rurale, car elle fait partie des communes peu ou très peu denses, au sens de la grille communale de densité de l'Insee.

Par ailleurs la commune fait partie de l'aire d'attraction d'Uzès, dont elle est une commune de la couronne. Cette aire, qui regroupe , est catégorisée dans les aires de moins de .

Occupation des sols

L'occupation des sols de la commune, telle qu'elle ressort de la base de données européenne d'occupation biophysique des sols Corine Land Cover (CLC), est marquée par l'importance des territoires agricoles (46,6 % en 2018), néanmoins en diminution par rapport à 1990 (50,6 %). La répartition détaillée en 2018 est la suivante :
forêts (33,8 %), zones agricoles hétérogènes (29,9 %), zones urbanisées (16,3 %), cultures permanentes (15 %), milieux à végétation arbustive et/ou herbacée (3,4 %), terres arables (1,7 %).

L'IGN met par ailleurs à disposition un outil en ligne permettant de comparer l'évolution dans le temps de l'occupation des sols de la commune (ou de territoires à des échelles différentes). Plusieurs époques sont accessibles sous forme de cartes ou photos aériennes : la carte de Cassini (), la carte d'état-major (1820-1866) et la période actuelle (1950 à aujourd'hui).

Risques majeurs
Le territoire de la commune de Saint-Siffret est vulnérable à différents aléas naturels : météorologiques (tempête, orage, neige, grand froid, canicule ou sécheresse), inondations, feux de forêts et séisme (sismicité modérée). Il est également exposé à un risque particulier : le risque de radon. Un site publié par le BRGM permet d'évaluer simplement et rapidement les risques d'un bien localisé soit par son adresse soit par le numéro de sa parcelle.

Risques naturels
Certaines parties du territoire communal sont susceptibles d'être affectées par le risque d'inondation par débordement de cours d'eau et par une crue torrentielle ou à montée rapide de cours d'eau, notamment l'Alzon. La commune a été reconnue en état de catastrophe naturelle au titre des dommages causés par les inondations et coulées de boue survenues en 1982, 1983, 1988, 1996, 1998, 2002, 2011 et 2014.

Le retrait-gonflement des sols argileux est susceptible d'engendrer des dommages importants aux bâtiments en cas d'alternance de périodes de sécheresse et de pluie. 66,9 % de la superficie communale est en aléa moyen ou fort (67,5 % au niveau départemental et 48,5 % au niveau national). Sur les  dénombrés sur la commune en 2019, 427 sont en en aléa moyen ou fort, soit 59 %, à comparer aux 90 % au niveau départemental et 54 % au niveau national. Une cartographie de l'exposition du territoire national au retrait gonflement des sols argileux est disponible sur le site du BRGM.

Par ailleurs, afin de mieux appréhender le risque d'affaissement de terrain, l'inventaire national des cavités souterraines permet de localiser celles situées sur la commune.

Concernant les mouvements de terrains, la commune a été reconnue en état de catastrophe naturelle au titre des dommages causés par la sécheresse en 2017, par des mouvements de terrain en 1983 et par des glissements de terrain en 1988.

Risque particulier
Dans plusieurs parties du territoire national, le radon, accumulé dans certains logements ou autres locaux, peut constituer une source significative d'exposition de la population aux rayonnements ionisants. Certaines communes du département sont concernées par le risque radon à un niveau plus ou moins élevé. Selon la classification de 2018, la commune de Saint-Siffret est classée en zone 2, à savoir zone à potentiel radon faible mais sur lesquelles des facteurs géologiques particuliers peuvent faciliter le transfert du radon vers les bâtiments.

Il appartient au prévôt de la cathédrale d'Uzès, seul seigneur de Saint Siffret, jusqu'à la Révolution. En 1791, le château et le domaine sont vendus comme biens nationaux, 56 500 livres, et passent à la famille Verdier de Flaux.
 Le "deuxième château" de Saint-Siffret, au nord du village, n'est qu'une maison de village sur le compoix de Saint Siffret, en 1639 et 1653,qui appartient à Philippe de Gondin. Les propriétaires sont ensuite les La Tour du Pin. En 1740, la maison, est achetée par Louis Froment, marchand d'Uzès, moyennant  1 500  livres. Elle est alors à l'abandon.  M Froment lègue ensuite la maison à son gendre Jean Pierre Abauzit, marchand-négociant d'Uzès,  qui commence à appeler sa maison le" château ". Mais sous l'ancien régime, seule la propriété du prévôt était appelée Château de Saint Siffret.

Georgia Tech-led Team Awarded $1.7M to Foster Artificial Intelligence Literacy
Sep 20, 2022 | Atlanta, GA
The National Science Foundation has awarded a new $1.7 million grant to a Georgia Institute of Technology-led team to foster artificial intelligence (AI) literacy through interactive museum exhibits.
The grant will support the transition of previously-created AI prototypes into public-facing exhibits that spark creativity and collaboration in learning about artificial intelligence. The team will work with the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago and The Findings Group to create and evaluate the exhibits.
The team includes Brian Magerko, professor in Georgia Tech's School of Literature, Media, and Communication with a dual appointment in the College of Computing; Jessica Roberts, assistant professor in the College of Computing; and Duri Long, assistant professor in Communication Studies at Northwestern University. Long previously was a research scientist and Ph.D. student in Human-Centered Computing at Georgia Tech.
"We have this lucky opportunity to take these cool, unique AI-based experiences and put them under the microscope to help understand how to better design AI literacy interventions based in embodiment and creativity," says Magerko. "The goal is to have exhibits that can be used in multiple places all over the world."
LuminAI, Other Projects Are Included
The projects include LuminAI, an AI-based dance experience created by Magerko and his team that allows people to dance with an AI dancer performer via their shadows. LuminAI uses Microsoft Kinect videogame devices to capture the movements of a human dance partner and projects them as a silhouette onto a screen. The computer then uses artificial intelligence based on theories of dance and movement — called Viewpoints and Laban Movement Analysis — to determine how to match the human partner's moves.
"Usually when you see AI exhibits, they're very focused on robotics technology, hardware – the cool factor. But how we interact with the AI is very narrow. We're really hoping to broaden people's perception of what AI is and engage with them in a different and very human way that enables them to understand and reflect on the different aspects of AI technologies in a more meaningful way," says Magerko.
Other projects developed during the height of the pandemic will be adapted for larger exhibits. They include Creature Features, a take-home project that teaches how to train neural networks, and Knowledge Net, an at-home project that allows students to "pre-program" an AI chatbot with knowledge.

The case for formal methodology in scientific reform
Dr Berna Devezer, Associate Professor at the Department of Business and Affiliate Faculty at the Department of Mathematics and Statistical Science at the University of Idaho.
Friday 16 October 2020, 16:30-18:00
Zoom meeting.

Abstract: Current attempts at methodological reform in sciences come in response to an overall lack of rigor in methodological and scientific practices in experimental sciences. However, some of these reform attempts suffer from the same mistakes and over-generalizations they purport to address. Considering the costs of allowing false claims to become canonized, we argue for formal rigor and statistical nuance in methodological reform. By way of example, we present a formal analysis of three popular claims in the metascientific literature: (a) that reproducibility is the cornerstone of science; (b) that data must not be used twice in any analysis; and© that exploratory projects are characterized by poor statistical practice. We show how our formal approach can inform and shape debates about such methodological claims.
Bio: Berna Devezer is an Associate Professor at the Department of Business and Affiliate Faculty at the Department of Mathematics and Statistical Science at the University of Idaho. She received her M.S. in Statistics and PhD in Marketing from Washington State University. Her current research focus is on advancing a theoretical understanding of metascientific phenomena such as scientific progress, reproducibility, and open science.

The daughter of a family in Rājagaha, which waited upon Mahā Moggallāna; was very generous and always gave away in alms the half of anything which she possessed. She was given in marriage to the son of a family of unbelievers. One day, seeing Moggallāna begging for alms, she invited him and gave him some cakes which had been put away by her mother-in-law. When the latter heard of it she was greatly enraged, and struck the girl with a pestle.
The girl died and was born in Tāvatimsa, her palace being called the Ulāravimāna. Later, Moggallāna visited her there (Vv.p.24; VvA.120).


They're whispered in the bathrooms and written in notes passed in the classroom. What are they? They're the vile and vicious rumors about the ACT — rumors that seem to grow with each telling.
Here are five rumors that you may have heard. Quick hint: They're all wrong!
Back when your parents took the ACT, you couldn't bring a calculator. Nowadays, though, using a calculator is perfectly acceptable, and recommended, for the Mathematics Test. You can't use it on any other section, however. Just make sure your calculator meets the specifications listed on the official ACT website. The ACT's requirements for calculators are a little more stringent than the SAT's.
Wrong, wrong, wrong. You should always guess on the ACT. This exam has no penalty for guessing. Never leave an answer blank. Fill in something, anything, on the chance that you may get lucky and get the question correct.
All colleges accept both the ACT and SAT. It's true that years ago the SAT was more popular on the two coasts and the ACT flourished in the middle of the country, but the ACT has grown in popularity to the point that often more students take the ACT than the SAT. In fact, some selective colleges (think Yale) don't require SAT Subject Test scores from students who provide ACT scores.
Wrong. You don't have to write an essay during the ACT. It's optional. However, a growing number of colleges want to see an essay score from either the ACT or SAT, and some require that you complete the ACT essay. Taking this portion of the test is a good idea even if you really don't want to.
Many students take both exams. Usually, the ACT is offered a week or two after the SAT. You may get burned out taking two exams this close together or have trouble studying for both of them, but you certainly may take both tests. Colleges accept either your SAT or ACT score.

Airport waiting time is stressful and can cause headache when you had 10-12 hours long flight and still have to stand in queues for another 1-2 hours. You have to stand in line for luggage checking, show travel document, immigration, go through scanning device and then to your terminal. I always have to experience this queue because I have to change 3 flights; Ahmadabad to Mumbai, Mumbai to Madrid, Madrid to Valencia. If you have connected flight from different airport then again you have to stand in line for all this things again. The journey seems exhausted.
The new BLIP systems can track the mobile phones and other devices and enable airports to track the movements of a traveler. It is installed Norwegian airports, Birmingham airport, Manchester airport, etc. BLIP system was founded in 2003, is a business intelligence company based near Aalborg, Denmark. In 2010, the queue prediction module was developed to provide airports and their passengers with accurate wait time information.
"Airports can use this information to understand things such as which parking spaces, airport entrances and services passengers use, how many people show up at airport processes, when they arrive and how long they wait," says Christian Bugislaus Carstens, BLIP's marketing manager. But what if personal data of the traveler reveled and misused. There is a question of security and protection of personal data. But "each mobile device has a unique MAC address which is assigned to the device during manufacturing and cannot be modified. MAC addresses do not link to any individual user data, thus personal information is not revealed, and no personal data is collected, disclosed or otherwise processed by BLIP Systems, in compliance with the EU directive about privacy" says Carstens.
I found it interesting how you mentioned how a queuing management system can speed up wait time in airports. My son wants to get started in software development but doesn't know what kind of software he should develop. I will be sure to pass this information on to him so he can get started with working at his dream career!

Lost Horizons share new song and video for 'Score The Sky'
With their debut album Ojalá was just released on 3rd November on Bella Union, Lost Horizons have shared a video to the track "Score The Sky", featuring vocals from The Duke Spirit's Liela Moss.
Here's a quote from director Derrick Belcham: "The video for Score The Sky is an attempt to visualize the kind of mystical experience of achieving a sense of oneself, constantly switching between chasing and fleeing elements of the psyche that are buried, and either want to stay that way, or else come erupting forth. The dancers, Nicole and Rebecca, explore the decks of the SS Columbia as a borrowed symbolic environment for the labyrinthine passageways of persona and complex, all taking place in the mind of one woman, likely in a single moment."
Having played their debut UK show at Liverpool Music Week last night, Lost Horizons will head out on tour throughout November beginning at Iceland Airwaves Festival in Reykjavik and reaching the UK for a bunch of shows in the second half of the month. For the live incarnation of the band, Lost Horizons will include three vocalists: Ed Riman aka Hilang Child and Beth Cannon, both of whom appear on the album, as well as Helen Ganya Brown who records under the alias Dog In The Snow.
Ojalá incorporates a heady cast of guest singers. Some are signed to Bella Union, such as Marissa Nadler and former Midlake frontman Tim Smith, while others are long-time favourites of Raymonde's (Liela Moss of The Duke Spirit and Ghostpoet), or newer discoveries (Beth Cannon, Hilang Child, Gemma Dunleavy and Phil McDonnell). Together, the Lost Horizons ensemble has created an hour of exquisite, expansive and diverse spellcasting.
Before he started Bella Union, Raymonde was the bassist of the seminal Cocteau Twins, where the vein of melancholia went very deep. Even before the band had signed to 4AD, the label were releasing records by the instrumental quartet Dif Juz, arguably the first word in post-rock, 15 years before it became a trend: Thomas was their anchor; the engine room of their wondrous free-flow. The two bands became friends, and toured together.
Raymonde and Thomas had made demos together in the eighties, but filed them away – though they did collaborate on 'Ivy And Neet', found on This Mortal Coil's second album Filigree & Shadow (1986), with Thomas adding a spiralling saxophone to Raymonde's improvised piano. But both found their journeys diverging. Long after Dif Juz split, Thomas had toured with The Jesus And Mary Chain, Moose, Felt and, in the nineties, Cocteau Twins. But as he recalls, "The business side of music became too painful. I had too much love for music that wasn't returned. But Simon has music in his heart and soul, he's extremely talented, and I wanted to get him making music again. And when the idea of jamming together came up again, I got really excited, which I hadn't felt about music in ages."
The pair booked four days in an east London studio, with Raymonde on piano and Thomas on drums, and a simple plan: "It must feel like fun, never a chore, and it had to be improvised," Raymonde explains. If it never became a record, it didn't matter. It was all about recapturing that feeling when you're 15, making music with friends."
As the songs took shape, Raymonde began thinking of singers to approach that would suit each, and to his surprise and joy, they all agreed. The same ground rules as the original sessions applied: "There were no, 'Am I going in the right direction?' conversations. It had to be about the moment, about what felt right."
Indeed, Ojalá was made for its core duo's need to make music, and to create something beautiful, and meaningful, in these dark times. It's why the record is named after the Spanish for "hopefully" (or "God willing").
Currently celebrating 20 years piloting his revered record label Bella Union, Simon Raymonde has scaled another personal peak, a new collaboration with drummer Richie Thomas. They're called Lost Horizons, and their stunning debut album, Ojalá, is released 3rd November on Bella Union.
Today Simon speaks to Bob Boilen of NPR's All Songs Considered to discuss Lost Horizons, Bella Union and premiere "I Saw The Days Go By" featuring Marissa Nadler. You can listen to it here. The track is one of three Lost Horizons tracks Nadler lends her vocals and lyrics to. Raymonde described the collaboration "All the tracks with Marissa came about quite unusually. I thought i was finished with the Lost Horizons album once we got to about 10 tracks, but i had the urge to go and record on my own at this lovely studio near my house which Warren Ellis had recommended to me, with a mint grand piano. I had two short days there and got a ton of recordings done and I realized this was the missing part of the album. I'd wanted to use Marissa Nadler's voice on the record but nothing had seemed quite appropriate till now. We have a lovely connection and it's always very easy for me to relate to her, socially and musically. She wrote and sang her parts in just a day or two and i think we were both just very inspired at the right time for each other."
Alongside Marissa Nadler, Ojalá incorporates a heady cast of guest singers. Some are signed to Bella Union, such as Nadler, former Midlake frontman Tim Smith, Cameron Neal (Horse Thief), others are long-time favourites of Raymonde's (Leila Moss of The Duke Spirit and Ghostpoet), or newer discoveries (Beth Cannon, Hilang Child, Gemma Dunleavy and Phil McDonnell). And then there is the incomparable Karen Peris of The Innocence Mission, one of Raymonde's most beloved artists, in her first collaboration outside of The Innocence Mission and solo recordings.
Together, the Lost Horizons ensemble has created an hour of exquisite, expansive and diverse spellcasting, from facets of soul ('Bones', featuring Cannon, and 'Reckless', featuring Ghostpoet) to dreamier invocations like 'She Led Me Away' (featuring Smith) and Ojalá's lengthiest trip, 'The Engine' (featuring Hilang Child). There's the odd louder, faster detour, like 'Life Inside A Paradox' (featuring Neal, with Sharon Van Etten on backing vocals), but the dominant mood is a deep, rich melancholia.
Later this year, Lost Horizons will head out on tour which sees them stopping off at Iceland Airwaves Festival in Reykjavik.
Praise for Lost Horizons
"Cocteau Twins' Simon Raymonde has spent his time since that band's dissolution 20 years ago producing for other artists and running the great Bella Union label, but he's getting back to making music of his own. And damn, judging by the quality of his new group's first single, a lot of us might not have realized what we were missing." – Stereogum
"As Lost Horizons, Raymonde's drummer Richie Thomas shuffled through studio sessions as dream pop minutemen, chasing their impulses through cut after cut of autumnal arrangements, carefully shaped until they shimmer in an amber afterglow. " -Billboard

Dear Apple, I Still Love You
By Dawn Sailors In Around the House, Design Geek
Anyone who knows me will tell you that I'm a die-hard Apple fan. (I asked for, and got, an iPhone for Valentine's Day last year.) I think a love of all things Mac is bred into most designers. That's why this particular post pains me so much to write.
I never thought I'd see the day, but I actually returned an apple product in exchange for essentially the same thing made by another company. Gasp!
Here's what happened: On Sunday the hub and I decided to get a start on setting up the entertainment hub we'd been envisioning in our basement. Our first step was to run out and buy an Apple TV.
We also cut wall holes for future wire hiding, hooked up a surround sound system that has been unopened in our storage room for years and finally got our DVD player hooked up too. AND we signed up for Netflix so that we can stream movies to the big-screen via the new Apple TV. It was a mess for a while to say the least, but Vera was very amused from her vantage point on the couch where her dad propped her up with a rig of blankets and pillows.
We plan to add shelving and run the wires through the wall in the future, so hopefully we will eventually have more of a presentable system than how it looks right now. Luckily it is already looking better than it was a few days ago. It got pretty hairy for a while there. We were super excited to try it all out, but here's the thing.. Netflix streaming kinda sucks. That is to say every movie or tv show we tried to search for wasn't available. We could, however watch nearly anything from the 80s or that has been canceled recently. :/
So then we thought 'bummer, but at least we can still do other cool stuff with our apple tv, right?' Well, not really. Unless playing iTunes on your tv is your version of cool because that's really all I could get it to do. You can also look at photos if they're in iTunes or watch movies if you've purchased them from iTunes, but I don't have any iTunes movies and all my photos are in iPhoto. So basically I could listen to music that I already own while watching a slideshow of generic flower images fade in and out. How anti-climactic. :(
So I was expressing my Netflix dissatisfaction to a coworker when he suggested that we look into Roku instead. And it's amazing! Not only can you stream Netflix, but you can watch Hulu and other movie channels, Vimeo, YouTube, listen to Pandora and even play some games like Angry Birds. My favorite thing about the Apple TV was the ability to control it with my phone as a remote, but thanks to the Roku remote app, I can still do that too. Plus it's less expensive! And you know we like a bargain around here.
So there you have it. We returned the Apple TV and bought the Roku. I'm still a huge fan of Apple products, but I guess I'm also proud of the fact that I'm not a name brand junkie and found a solution that works better for how we use it.
But don't worry Apple. I still love you. (Always and forever.)
Anyone else have Apple TV or Roku? What do you think? Also is anyone else as disappointed as we were with the Netflix streaming selection??

From Milan Runways, Straight Into The… Kitchen!
Picture: Pedini Kitchen, NJ – Integra in Grey Oak, Glossy white lacquer and glossy red lacquer.
When it comes to choosing a new kitchen, there is a very distinct difference between the American consumer and the Italian one. Here in the US, most consumers know the look, the color, the finish and the material of the kitchen they want in their home. Usually they are actually recreating a kitchen that they saw somewhere before, at a friends or neighbors house or in a magazine picture. They are focusing on a feeling of family, warmth and the good old days. Old World is IN, but…..
More and more, ultra-modern Italian kitchens are showing up in every corner kitchen store in America. It's not that American consumers have given up the warm and fuzzy feeling of their home décor, but more than ever before some are now ready to open up to a world of new style, at least in their kitchen. They now want what the European's want: the newest innovations, the most fashionable colors, something that they haven't seen yet – the next thing!
Upscale American kitchens have traditionally been designed using custom cabinetry that can be used in the kitchen, but also in a library, a bathroom or any other space, even in commercial applications. The Italians are designing their kitchen lines to be kitchens from the initial prototype concept. Each kitchen model comes in a few chosen colors or woods, has its own type of unique doors, interiors, countertops, hoods and even its own unique appliances such as a cook top that is shaped to fit into a circular island.
The leading Italian kitchens are designed by famous designers and are much closer to works of art then they are to kitchen cabinetry. The other Italian and European manufacturers simply follow the leaders and trust their designer's tastes and instincts. If they see that a new kitchen model sells well, they'll produce it in the following year. So, just like in the fashion world, the same colors, shapes and materials are seen everywhere.
If you attended the last Euro Cucina (the bi-annual international kitchen show in Milan, Italy) you would have noticed the new trends and fashions everywhere. The leading manufacturers were showing off "this years colors" in their kitchens! The same colors that have dominated Milan's fashion runways are featured in the kitchens a couple of months later. This season's colors were everywhere, just as if it was all orchestrated by fashion designers and not cabinet manufacturers… or maybe it was. After all, Italy's top kitchen designers are really in the fashion business much more then they are in the cabinet business.
After "this year's colors" comes "this year's woods". After all we are still talking about kitchens. For 2006, the exotics were back – Zebra, Ebony, and Teak, to name a few, are everywhere, in matte or high-gloss. But not just exotic woods, the good old Oak is still hot, in white, dark grey and natural tones, in horizontal grain and lots of painted glass.
The similarity between fashion and cabinetry does not end in the colors and woods. In fashion there are certain shapes or "cuts" that are "in". Italian kitchens are no different. In the last couple of years, more and more manufacturers have been showing radius islands and curved cabinets, very thick or very thin countertops and the latest trend – "ribbed" doors. It is interesting that none of these "new looks" is really that new. We have seen them before and they are simply coming back, with a new design twist, a new material or a new finish.
There will always be a place for Old World, traditional style. But if you don't want to be caught dead in last year's kitchen, maybe you're ready for a makeover, Italian style.
The exotic, the one of a kind, the money is no object kind of kitchen.
Years ago, when I was new in the kitchen industry, I met an old kitchen designer from Los Angeles who designed a kitchen for the Warners; the Warners, as in Time-Warner. Bill, the old kitchen designer, told me that forty-something years ago the Warner kitchen cost $1,200,000! I simply couldn't believe it…How could one kitchen cost that much, especially that long ago?
Well, years have passed and our firm has grown bigger and has gotten better. We have won national design awards, our projects have been featured on the covers of numerous national magazines, and we were chosen this year as the Top Design Firm in Customer Value by a national panel of consumers. As a result of this growth and recognition, high-end, special projects are now coming our way. From Saddle River to Alpine, from San Francisco to the Bahamas, more and more customers are commissioning us to create the exotic, the one of a kind, the money is no object projects in the best of places.
A kitchen we completed in North Carolina that was featured on the cover of a national magazine has imported enameled lava counter tops. Priced well over $30,000, the lava tops are only a fraction of the total project cost.
A few times a year we install custom-made French stoves for our clients. They start at around $15,000 and can go up to almost $100,000 each!
A North Jersey kitchen we did has a mural ceiling, painted by a renowned artist. These murals are becoming popular and can cost as much as someone's entire kitchen.
The rule of thumb ia that the kitchen is about 10% of the cost of your home. So, if someone yu know lives in a $12 million home, maybe they have one of those Warner-like kitchens. In the mean time, i'm still waiting for the Warners to remodel.
Picture: Pedini Kitchen NJ with two sinks and dairy/meat sections.
A kosher home is an important element in the foundation of Jewish life. Jewish dietary laws, a kosher kitchen is designed to separate items used for preparation and serving of meat and dairy meals. Ideally, cookware, utensils, bowls, and dishes would be stored in separate drawers and cabinets. In order to receive the best design, look for help and advice from a Kitchen Designer who specializes in kosher kitchens. If space and money were not an issue, you might look at a symmetrically designed kitchen with two separate but equal halves for storage and preparation. Because space and money usually are a concern, you will want to create the most functional space that provides the elements to follow your personal level of dietary observance. Organization and storage follow personal preference. You may prefer to locate your dairy items (as a group) separately from your meat items or mix and match by work centers, i.e. meat utensils on one side of the cook top and dairy on the other. The mix and match option usually provides a more efficient use of your time–which is also very desirable.
Separate pot and dish storage with at least one for dairy.

My name is Annika van Duijvenboden. I am seventeen years old and I come from Katwijk, a village in the Midwest of the Netherlands. I am writing this while waiting at Manchester Airport for the plane which is going to fly me back to Amsterdam. You might be wondering why a seventeen year old girl traveled all the way to the United Kingdom all on her own. I can tell you I have got good reasons for that – I was doing a work experience at The Reader in Liverpool for a week.
When I was asked to write something for the website I first thought of writing about everything I did this week and what I thought of it. However, I changed my mind about that because as I am a reader myself I know that readers want to see is real emotions. So I am going to tell you about something that really touched me this week.
During the week I joined a Shared Reading group. Everyone in the group was very involved and had a lot to say and had many experiences and memories to share except for an old lady. She sat there, listened, closed her eyes sometimes. At the end she told us that she had lost her sight. She lost the visual part of her world. Now the only thing that is left is her sense of hearing. Every week she could go to a Shared Reading group and listen to the stories and poems and hear what everyone had to say about it. Her words were so beautiful. She really showed me the effect The Reader has on people. It is not very big. It does not cost a lot of money. Still it is very effective in many ways.
When the lady told me this I had to think of my own grandfather. He used to visit my grandmother every day when she could not live at home anymore. After she passed away last year she left a big gap in his life. Suddenly he had nobody he could visit and talk to anymore. His children and grandchildren are busy and many of his own siblings very old or dead. We, as a family, want to help him. However, it is difficult to help someone who does not want and is not able to do a lot of things anymore. So when I saw what the Shared Reading groups did to people I wish we would have something like it in the Netherlands.
Fortunately there are people working on it in the Netherlands. I think it might be too late for my grandfather. Nevertheless, hopefully I will be able to enjoy a Shared Reading group once again and with me many others all around the world. I can tell you now, it works!
Once again I want to thank The Reader for everything you have done for me. I really enjoyed my time at here. I noticed I really learned from it and changed a bit.
It was a pleasure having Annika visit us for the week and wonderful to hear her experiences of Shared Reading. It was lovely having Annika around HQ here in Calderstones and her kindness will be warmly remembered by all of us here – not least for the delicious coffee sweets she treated us all to! We hope Annika will be able to join a Shared Reading group in the Netherlands very soon!

Blackberry's "Ghost" is an Android phone for Indian market, according to leaks
written by Cerina Cruz
With the prevalence of screen-dominant smartphones nowadays, one could be forgiven for thinking a company like Blackberry wouldn't be around anymore. But they technically still are, because of foreign telecom companies such as TCL (which currently handles manufacturing, distribution, and design for the rest of the world's market) and BB Merah Putih acquiring the brand's license to develop and sell products. But their third collaborator, the Indian company Optiemus Infracom, is looking to shake things up in the Android industry by releasing a "premium handset" for the country's market.
— Evan Blass (@evleaks) February 26, 2018
A photo was shown in a tweet by the same guy who leaked those Samsung Galaxy S9 renderings, Evan Blass. By that lone picture, Optiemus is looking to impress with a sleek, bezel-less design, taking a page from Apple and Samsung's releases last year, the iPhone X and the aforementioned S9.
Aside from the photo and its brief claims, no other details have been released yet as of late. But it does look promising, so fingers crossed that it delivers and is available in other countries.

Just the other night I was sleeping under a bridge and now here I am on the grandest ship in the world having champagne with you fine people. I figure life's a gift and I don't intend on wasting it. You don't know what hand you're gonna get dealt next.
Winning that ticket, Rose, was the best thing that ever happened to me… it brought me to you. And I'm thankful for that, Rose. I'm thankful. You must do me this honor. You must promise me that you'll survive, that you won't give up, no matter what happens, no matter how hopeless. Promise me now, Rose, and never let go of that promise.
Say we'll go there sometime to that pier. Even if we only ever just talk about it. No, we'll do it. We'll drink cheap beer, we'll ride on the rollercoaster till we throw up. Then we'll ride horses on the beach, right in the surf–now but you'll have to do it like a real cowboy, none of that side saddle stuff. You mean one leg on each side? Yeah. Can you show me? Sure, if you'd like.
Everybody expects me to be this delicate little flower which I'm not. I'm sturdy. I'm strong as a horse. I'm here to do something not just sit around and be decorative.
