Google Nexus 6 vs Samsung Galaxy Note 4: in-depth specs comparison
posted by Chris P. / Oct 15, 2014, 3:20 PM
In light of yet another humble, no-event Nexus announcement, it's only fitting that we keep it simple and straightforward, too. Ladies and gentlemen, the Nexus 6 is here, and this time around, Google has chosen Motorola to build it.
After a change from the strategy that saw Google and its hardware partner, LG, team up to bring vanilla Android-touting Nexus flagship devices to the market at affordable prices, the search giant is now returning to the roots of its line. Like with the now ancient HTC Nexus One and Samsung Galaxy Nexus, we're once again looking at a device that will be sold for the more standard $649. But Google didn't leave it at that -- the 5.96-inch Nexus 6 is also the biggest Nexus yet, and by far.
So big is the Nexus 6, that it's actually now finding itself in the company of phablet veterans like the Galaxy Note 4. But size is not the only similarity between it and Samsung's 5.7-incher, for the two also
boast extremely-sharp, Quad HD resolution displays, mighty Snapdragon 805 processors, and 3GB of RAM each. That's not the entire story, though, and this means only one thing: it's time to dig further.
The rumor mill had it right all along -- the new Nexus really did end up being styled after the 2014 Moto X. In fact, if it weren't for its size and the giant, vertical Nexus logo on the back, we'd have a hard time telling it apart from Motorola's latest flagship. The front is differentiated from the Note 4 by its more rounded, soap-shaped form, its two speaker grills on the top and bottom bezels, and, of course, the lack of a physical home button. At the back, we've got a matted plastic shell that curves to the sides, while Samsung has gone for a fairly convincing, but ultimately fake plastic imitation of leather. To the sides, we've got a small (and welcome) surprise with the Nexus 6 -- unlike most manufacturers (Samsung and its Note 4 included), Google's phablet houses both the power key and volume rocker low on the right side of the frame, making them easy-to-reach and manipulate.
But to claim that the Nexus 6 is going to be a comfortable device to use would be misleading -- if anything, its dimensions suggest that it will be quite unwieldy, even in comparison with the also imposing Note 4 -- 6.27 x 3.27 x 0.40 inches (159.26 x 82.98 x 10.06 mm) versus 6.04 x 3.09 x 0.33 inches (153.5 x 78.6 x 8.5 mm). The Nexus 6 is also heavier (6.49 oz (184 g) versus 6.21 oz (176 g)), though its curvature might help alleviate some of the difficulties you'll probably run into trying to handle this device. In all, one thing is clear -- neither of these two is one hand-friendly.
If any of you were hoping that, despite the insistent rumors, Google will nevertheless keep its cool and stick to a conventional, battery-sparing 1080p display, you might not appreciate the fact that the company is transitioning to a Quad HD one. Indeed, the 5.96-inch panel boasts a super-sharp resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixels, good enough for 493 pixels per inch. But that's not all -- the screen we're looking at is of the AMOLED type, and those are fairly rare with manufacturers other than Samsung. Speaking of the Note 4's maker, it has fitted a 5.7-inch, Super AMOLED screen with an identical, Quad HD resolution (or 515 ppi). For protection, both devices are making use of a Gorilla Glass 3 cover, which is harder to scratch and more resistant to shattering than conventional glass, all the while providing lower levels of reflectance in order to aid outdoor visibility.
One definitive advantage of the Note 4's screen is its ability to become extra sensitive through an option in the settings menu, allowing you to use it with gloves on. With winter behind the corner, that's a great extra to have.
Interface and functionality
Perhaps with the exception of price (a non-factor here), the fact that the Nexus line runs on the very latest, manufacturer bloat-free versions of Android was one of the family's definitive highlights. This does not change with the Nexus 6, which will be among the very first devices on the planet to offer the latest version of Android 5.0 Lollipop out of the box. One of the key changes with Lollipop is the transition towards a flatter, but animation-rich visuals that feel almost playful in that subtle Google style, and also provide a much-needed sense of fluidity to actions. Lollipop also brings notable improvements to the way you interact with notifications and how they'are served -- you can now action them straight from the lockscreen, for example. As part of the so-called Project Volta, Google is also introducing enhancement to battery life, so small to moderate savings are expected, not to mention that Android now finally has a dedicated power-saving mode.
Turning to the Note 4, we're looking at a much different approach. In contrast to Google's lightweight philosophy, Samsung is instead known for going full out with a bucketful of extras and perks, and nowhere is that more apparent than with its Note 4. The company's latest phablet sports Android 4.4.4 KitKat with its signature TouchWiz skin on top. The visuals here are also flatter than in the past, and Samsung chose to embrace color like never before with the latest iteration of TW, but we're still looking at the most complex take on Android available from pretty much any manufacturer. Apart from its iconic S Pen stylus sidekick (which now offers new features like Smart Select), the Note 4 also comes with notable perks like Smart Stay (screen stays on indefinitely, so long as you're looking at it), MultiWindow (run and interact with two apps side-by-side simultaneously), and even a special one-handed mode that re-sizes the entire UI to a more manageable size.
Overall, when thinking interface comparison, it definitely comes down to taste, as either of the two has its strong points. The Nexus 6, for example, offers a more straightforward, Lollipop user experience, and promises quick subsequent updates, all the while the Note 4 touts its arsenal of extras. It should, however, be pointed out that it will be a while until we see Android Lollipop on Samsung's latest flagship.
Processor and memory
With both devices sporting as high resolution displays, we're glad to see that the Google/Motorola duo, like Samsung, has gone for a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 chipset. Capable of cranking up the clock speeds to up to 2.7GHz when needed, this is the first processor from the chip maker specifically marketed as capable of pushing such mind-blowing amounts of pixels. Both devices also make use of an Adreno 420 GPU, which has seen generational performance improvements over its predecessor, along with a few new features, like hardware tessellation.
As for RAM, both devices make use of generous, 3GB LPDDR3 blocks of memory. In terms of internal storage, we're looking at 32GB and 64GB models with the Nexus 6, and a 32GB model with the Note 4 (a 64GB version expected). Thankfully for Samsung, its phablet offers storage expansion via microSD (up to 128GB more), which is more than we can say for the Nexus 6.
Team Googlerola fitted a 13-megapixel, 1/3.06'' Sony IMX214 Exmor RS sensor (1.12 micron pixels) inside the Nexus 6, complete with optical image stabilization. The unit is also complemented by 6-element, f/2.0 lens and an unusual ring flash that surrounds it, with 2 LEDs inside. Up at the front, we've got a 2-megapixel selfie snapper, capable of 720p capture for the occasional video chat.
With the Note 4, we're talking a 16-megapixel, 1/2.6'' sensor (1.1 micron pixels), also garnished with optical image stabilization. The snapper has an equally wide, f/2.0 lens, but comes with a more standard, single LED flash. For the front-facing slot, Samsung chose a very generous, 3.7-megapixel camera that can do 1080p video.
In terms of video, both devices can do 1080p at 30 FPS (though the Note 4 can shoot super-smooth, 60 FPS 1080p clips also) and super high-res 4K UHD, also at 30 frames per second. Unlike the Nexus 6, the Note 4 can also capture slow-motion videos.
Obviously, the Nexus 6 is yet to reach our hands, so we don't yet know what kind of results to expect from its camera, but we do know that the Note 4 is currently one of the most capable smartphone shooters on the market, whether we're talking stills or video. We do, however, have to point out that the former two Nexus flagships were lackluster in comparison with the best flagships that were on the market at that time, but we'll still have to wait and see if that remains the case with the Nexus 6.
It'll be interesting to see the way Nexus 6 affects sales of the Note 4, but not because we believe it has any kind of a real chance of actually competing unit for unit. Instead, we're curious to see the split the two will cause within what is likely going to end up as a community that mostly recognizes itself as one -- power users. Indeed, the Nexus 6's price of $649 will likely put off bargain hunters, and that means that it'll be mostly up to the appreciators of stock, vanilla Android to pick it up -- the same compact tribe that adores the Note 4 for its extended cache of features that no other manufacturer offers.
In all, we don't expect the Nexus 6 to make much of a dent in Samsung's sales projections for its prized phablet, but to misconstrue that to mean that the former isn't worthy of your very serious geek-on would be unfortunate and out of sync with the reality we're witnessing right this moment.

Yea Note 4 for me as well. The most attractive thing about the Nexus line was how affordable it was. Now that it's at flag ship level price, I'm going to get the flagship device and that of course, is the Note 4. If history is any indictation of what to expect. Expect the Note 4 to have a better camera, better battery life, more functionality, and of course better display.
32. QWIKSTRIKE
Well said......i agree, but I must check out both. The Nexus 6 at hat prices forces you to consider the Note 4!
As long as they have on par battery life and cameras, I think the price hike is worth it, and you can get nexus 6 cheaper too. Anyway both are beastly devices, both have their advantages, you can't go wrong with either.
65. rubyonrails3
Yes Nexus used to be cheap but if I compare Moto X with Nexus 6. it seems they charging close to moto x. but Nexus 6 is ahead in everything. Display Size, Resolution, PPI, Processor, RAM, Speakers, WiFi, Bluetooth. Moto X starting price is 500 but Nexus 6 have 32GB as starting point so Moto X cost 50 more. Nexus don't sound expensive to me especially when I compare to other flagships. also I've read that they including Turbo charger which cost 35. so for extra spec they just charging us $70? no bad han?

Ahead of everything? Really? Looks like you got it wrong. Same resolution. Same RAM. Same Processor. Nexus 6 has a slightly larger screen but Note 4 has a better PPI. Note has a better camera. Where did you get all that info? To me they both look pretty much neck and neck.
You are an idiot, you can't even read, I was comparing moto x and nexus 6 .. And I said ahead in .. Not ahead of... Also comparing note 4 with nexus 6... Note 4 have really awesome display, its not regard of higher density but better color calibration, great sunlight legibility, that's only thing making note 4 tempting for me.. Otherwise I never prefer touchwiz.. Put note 4 display quality in nexus 6, I would never consider note 4.. But I love displays so note 4 display is really awesome..

Oh shut it.. We know you would prefer anything but samsung sony boy..
Seems you prefer Samsung ;)
5. GTR722
Seriusly Sony, how can you provide a sensor with optical image stab. for the Nexus 6 but not for your OWN Xperia Z3??
Because Sony wants to sell you a camera and a phone. Same reason the audio quality on the Z3 is always a step behind. Because Sony wants to sell you an audio player or a standalone DAC. Sony doesn't realize that cannibalizing yourself is far better than having some other company cannibalize you. Basically Sony is failing Business 101 which is why they have huge losses, quarter after quarter.

Their phones are making a profit, just pointing that out...
They are doing better with their phones, but in one of their recent interviews, they did mention that they were going to focus on their high-end phones and get rid of their low end models as they don't make any money on their low/mid-range stuff. This makes sense, but there will be even a greater emphasis on delivering quality and value to the market, i.e. including a headphone amp at least as good as HTC. Then there is Panasonic using a *SONY* 1" 20MP sensor in a new Lumix phone. Sony should be leading the way with the world's best mobile device photography, but they are making gimmicks like massive add-on lenses for phones. Sony has a lot of great technology, but their management team is full of fear and half-baked decisions. They remind me of TEPCO.
True.. I hope they will get their shi- together

And you know what the most surprising thing? The camera module in note 4 is also made by Sony.http://www.anandtech.com/show/8613/the-samsung-galaxy-note-4-review
63. Ashoaib
anandtech's review is the wrost review so far I have read... seems like they are trying very hard to up lift apple over all other brands
People who love Samsung, don't like to hear good words for Apple(mostly) or say don't like if someone praise other than Samsung.
6. JunitoNH
At that price point, good luck.
I don't know what's wrong. Nexus devices were affordable because they compromised a lot, crappy cameras, horrible battery life, low storage options, inferior audio quality. Now that they are improving everything and the nexus 6 is going to be on par with the latest flagships out there (not only on paper, in real), then why not the price hike? And you are still paying less than recent flagships. Just saying.
Agreed. Compared Moto X with Nexus 6. Nexus 6 have everything better, Camera, Processor, Display, WiFi, Bluetooth, and there's more. and only add extra $70(almost) and all saying its expensive. Nexus 6 is freakishly awesome. Note 4 is also great too.

Well I was going for the nexus but it was too big
8. twens
I'm surprise how much hate samsung has gathered over the years to the point when they clearly have a superior phone people still refuse to acknowledge and see it. It's like the world just wants to get rid of samsung. Lol

Asia Argento Listens to Singer Who Died of Suicide Following Anthony Bourdain's Death
By Antoinette Bueno 8:28 AM PDT, June 14, 2018
Jason LaVeris/FilmMagic
Asia Argento is still reeling from her late boyfriend Anthony Bourdain's death by apparent suicide.
On Thursday, the 42-year-old actress shared on her Instagram Stories that she was in Berlin, Germany, with a note reading: "I'm a f**king mess inside," crossed out with the words, "I'm fine."
A day prior, Argento shared that she was listening to Judee Sill's 1971 breakup song, "Jesus Was a Cross Maker." Sill died of suicide at age 35.
Sill wrote "Jesus Was a Cross Maker" about her relationship with singer-songwriter J. D. Souther, and in a 2004 interview with the BBC, Souther talked about his relationship with Sill.
"We had quite a dramatic affair," he recalled. "I loved her, and she loved me, and it was a complicated bit of business but we stayed friends for a few years after that."
On Wednesday, Argento also shared a picture of her with her girlfriends, including her good friend, Rose McGowan.
McGowan defended Argento in a lengthy statement on Monday, in which she urged people to have a serious conversation about suicide, without placing blame on others. At the time of his death, Bourdain had been dating Argento since 2016.
"Anthony was open with his demons, he even wrote a book about them," McGowan wrote. " In the beginning of their relationship, Anthony told a mutual friend, 'He's never met anyone who wanted to die more than him.' And through a lot of this last year, Asia did want the pain to stop/ But here's the thing, over their time together, thankfully, she did the work to get help, so she could stay alive and live another day for her and her children. Anthony's depression didn't let him, he put down his armor, and that was very much his choice. His decision, not hers. His depression won."
"Anthony and Asia had a free relationship, they loved without borders of traditional relationships, and they established the parameters of their relationship early on," she continued. "Asia is a free bird, and so was Anthony. Was. Such a terrible word to write. I've heard from many that the past two years they were together were some of his happiest and that should give us all solace."
A CNN spokesperson confirmed to ET on Wednesday that Bourdain's body was cremated in France. The famed food critic was found dead of apparent suicide in a French hotel room last Friday morning by his friend and fellow chef, Eric Ripert. He was 61 years old.
If you or someone you know needs help, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255).

Once again you post misleading report bro....
PT Pindad is a state owned Indonesia defense company (land specialist)
The monocoque steel body is made by PT Krakatau Steel, Indonesian state owned steel company.
Manufacturer: PT. Pindad (Persero)
Product type: Auxiliary Vehicles
Name: Tactical vehicle
The Komodo is a 4x4 tactical vehicle developed and produced by Pindad.
The creation of the Komodo first started on October 26, 2011 when President Yudhoyono personally visited a PT Indonesian Aerospace weapon system exhibition. In the course of developing the vehicle, Pindad looked at other armored tactical vehicles that were being produced and sold such as the Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle, the Nexter Aravis and the Sherpa Light family.
Production of the Komodo was based at Pindad's factory in Bandung, West Java. The creation of a working Komodo prototype was completed on March 2012.
The Komodo made its first appearance when Pindad demonstrated the tactical vehicle to visitors at the RITech Expo on September 2012. Production on a working Komodo by Pindad started on October 5, 2012. On November 10, 2012, President Yudhoyono gave the name Komodo to new tactical vehicle at the Indo Defence 2012 Expo & Forum, Jakarta International Expo, Kemayoran, Jakarta.
A production plan of at least 240 Komodo tactical vehicles was planned after it was unveiled in Indodefence 2012.
Pindad has been awarded at the BUMN Award 2013 by the Indonesian government for their contribution in making the Komodo, since 80% of its components are being made locally. Pindad has reported confirmation that there are unnamed countries that are very interested to purchase Komodo tactical vehicles. Pindad has said that possible exports can be done for ASEAN member nations.
The Komodo was designed with a price tag of USD$2-3 million.
According to Pindad, the Komodo's monocoque armored body is bulletproof and it can withstand 7.62 bullets. The Komodo's glass is also made bulletproof.
The Komodo's turbo intercooler diesel engine has a total horsepower of 2500 rpm at 215 ps, allowing the vehicle to achieve the weight ratio of 25hp/ton. The Komodo can carry up to 200 liters of diesel fuel. The vehicle only has a manual transmission system, which consists of 6 forward and 1 reverse gear, allowing the Komodo to have off-road capabilities. Normal cruising range of the Komodo is about 450 kilometers.
The Komodo's off-road capabilities have been tested in various conditions ranging from mountainous terrain to mud and sand.
While most parts of the Komodo are made locally in Indonesia such as the frame, body and design, Pindad has publicly stated that they used imported components such as Hino for machinery parts and Michelin for the tires. Its diesel engines were imported from Renault. The Komodo's monocoque steel body was made locally by Krakatau Steel.
Pindad collaborated with MBDA to create the mobile anti-aircraft SAM variant, which are armed with Mistral SAM missiles. According to the Indonesian military, a total of 56 mobile SAM units are to be made and purchased.
Pindad also collaborated with Nexter to create Komodos that would serves as mobile command and communications vehicles with a total of 8 units being ordered.
The Komodos can be modified by Pindad on the request of their customers.
Variants of the Komodo:
Anti-Terrorist Vehicle

Clinicians recognized for providing exceptional, compassionate, whole-person care.
AdventHealth Orlando has been recognized as the No. 1 hospital in Florida and the top in Orlando by U.S. News & World Report, which released its 2019-20 Best Hospitals ratings.
The annual Best Hospitals rankings and ratings, now in their 30th year, are designed to assist patients and their doctors in making informed decisions about where to receive care for challenging health conditions or for common elective procedures.
The hospital was also recognized as having seven nationally ranked specialty programs: diabetes and endocrinology; gastroenterology and GI surgery; geriatrics; gynecology; nephrology; neurology and neurosurgery; and urology.
In addition, AdventHealth was recognized for having four "high-performing" programs: cancer; cardiology and heart surgery; orthopedics; and pulmonary and lung surgery.
In July, AdventHealth for Children was honored by U.S. News, when its neonatology program was ranked among the nation's best in the annual "Best Children's Hospitals" issue. And with these most recent rankings, AdventHealth for Women is now recognized as providing the best women's care in Florida.
"We are honored that our clinicians are being recognized nationally for providing exceptional, compassionate, whole-person care," said Daryl Tol, president and CEO of AdventHealth's Central Florida Division. "It's our goal to always keep the needs of the consumer at the forefront of everything we do, and to be a health-care partner for life."
For the 2019-20 rankings and ratings, U.S. News evaluated more than 4,500 medical centers nationwide in 25 specialties, procedures, and conditions. In the 16 specialty areas, 165 hospitals were ranked in at least one specialty. In rankings by state and metro area, U.S. News recognized hospitals as high performing across multiple areas of care.
"For 30 years, U.S. News has strived to make hospital quality more transparent to health-care consumers nationwide," said Ben Harder, managing editor and chief of health analysis at the magazine. "By providing the most comprehensive data available on nearly every hospital across the United States, we give patients, families, and physicians information to support their search for the best care across a range of procedures, conditions, and specialties."
The U.S. News Best Hospitals methodologies in most areas of care are based largely on objective measures such as risk-adjusted survival and discharge-to-home rates and volume and quality of nursing, among other care-related indicators.

IT'S A STEELERS WORLD..And Rooney's Want to Make it Official | "IT'S A STEELERS WORLD"!
It wasn't like I came up with the name on a flook, It's A Steelers World is something that I have been pushing for the past several years with my Facebook pages, T-shirt line and more recently this blog page. Basically because we already own the Nation..why not rule the world?
What I am trying to say is Art Rooney II is very interested in taking the Steelers game global. Something I see as very fitting for the obvious "World's Team"..surpassing the Dallas's Cowboys self proclaimed "America's Team".
Taking over the planet, one Country at a time!
You got that right, Angelo.


Three Fort Stockton coaches were featured in the September/October edition of Tennis Industry Magazine for their outstanding work with their physical education program!
Tennis is alive and well in Fort Stockton, thanks in large part to Fort Stockton Independent School District elementary school phys ed coaches Delma Sanchez, Deanna Carrillo and Ester Acosta. In coordination with USTA Texas Tennis Service Representative Amanda Friday, the coaches have attended Youth Tennis in-service training sessions and other tennis educational sessions each summer to bring the sport to students at Apache Elementary, Alamo Elementary and the Intermediate School. The tennis program has seen solid growth over the last five years, thanks to a supportive school administration and additional funding for local programs from the City of Fort Stockton and the Fort Stockton Convention and Visitors Bureau. ADVERTISEMENT The newly renovated Intermediate School courts now have blended lines, and last year the Labor Day Weekend One-Day Challenger Tournament saw a record 115 10-and-under players.
Maria Casares was featured in the June 2017 edition of Tennis Industry in their NJTL Stars!
For Corpus Christi's Tennis Success program, there are few roles that Maria Casares doesn't fill.
Maria Casares, director of education for Tennis Success in Corpus Christi, is full of energy. She not only tutors kids in the program, but also helps with fundraisers, organizes annual events for kids and parents, will counsel and consult with parents, and works with high school students who are planning on entering college, helping them with their scholarship requirements and submissions. She also spearheads all the projects involving the kids with NJTL contests that involve essay writing and artwork.
Fair and firm, Casares is the glue that holds the Tennis Success program together. She was instrumental in Tennis Success receiving the 2014 USTA Foundation's NJTL Chapter of the Year award.
Every child knows when they come into Casares' classroom, they will not only get love, but help with homework assignments and fair and equal treatment. For Casares, every youngster in the Tennis Success program is a teacher's pet.


The visual and performing arts are a core element of our program. While art, drama, and music are often electives at other middle schools, they are core classes. All students take Ellington classes every year and they are performance and project-based.

Kampala: Aid agencies have resorted to sending aid money directly to the recipient refugees.
While releasing the findings from its pilot testing of digital payments to refugees in Bidi Bidi, the UN Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) Knowledge Management Consultant, Naomi de Groot pointed out that the system had proved to be both secure and cost effective.
Out of the 20,000, DanChurchAid successfully made payment to 15,000 refugees. Beneficiaries received eight installments of $38 per month.
"These transfers are provided to people with special needs, such as pregnant women and the elderly, or refugees taking part in 'cash for work' programs," Naomi de Groot said.
She further added that in order to efficiently provide adequate aid to refugees, more and more humanitarian organizations and international non-governmental organizations have decided to convert in-kind support to cash-based transfers.
She said that they have decided to phase out cash payments because of the high operational costs involved.
"We wanted to make the switch from cash to digital because we are convinced of the advantages for us as the distributor of cash: it is fast, transparent and reliable, as well as the benefits for the refugees. Receiving this money on their mobile phone gives refugees privacy, not everybody knows that they have been paid, which increases their safety. Having a phone also enables them to contact family members," Delia B. Dean Adam, UNCDF's Value chain and digital finance consultant told Eagle Online.
By the end of last year, Uganda was home to over 1.5million refugees.
Uganda's refugee policy grants refugees' access to healthcare, education, a right to work and freedom of movement.
Refugees are also provided with land for settlement purposes and to practice some agriculture to supplement food rations.
Meanwhile, like the rest of the world, Uganda too has started moving towards a cashless economy.
Digital financial services are on the increase in Uganda. In 2017, most active customers used digital savings or lending products.
New agency banking regulations offer a fresh opportunity for financial institutions to increase access to financial products, especially people in rural areas.


(Reuters) — Serious human rights concerns have been raised by a Reuters report that Yahoo had scanned the emails of hundreds of millions of users at the request of a U.S. intelligence service, a United Nations' human rights advocate said on Friday.
"Government monitoring of digital communications, when conducted as described in recent reports, could undermine the privacy that individuals depend on in order to seek, receive and impart information online," David Kaye, U.N. Special Rapporteur on the right to freedom of opinion and expression, said in a statement.
Kaye, an independent expert, was appointed by the U.N.'s Human Rights Council in 2014 to examine and report on specific situations or human rights issues. He was responding to an exclusive report on Tuesday that Yahoo had complied with a secretive U.S. government request to scan emails in 2015.
The revelations rekindled a long-running debate in the United States over the proper balance between digital privacy and national security and has sparked criticism from privacy and human rights officials in Europe.
Yahoo agreed in July to be sold to U.S. telecoms company Verizon Communications in a deal worth $4.8 billion.

Review: 'Step'
Hot Docs 2017
By Pat Mullen • Published April 27th, 2017Comments
Courtesy Hot Docs
(USA, 83 min.)
Dir. Amanda Lipitz
Programme: Special Presentations (International Premiere)
Step, a winner at this year's Sundance Film Festival for inspirational filmmaking, is a must-see documentary. While distribution with Fox Searchlight Pictures means Step is one of the Hot Docs selections that film buffs may see after the festival, it's one of the hotter ticket titles for many good reasons. The film profiles a team of teenage girls on the step dancing team at Baltimore Leadership School for Young Women as they consider their future opportunities and grapple with the question of what it means to Black in America. This upbeat, and inspiring doc from Amanda Lipitz checks all the boxes for the kind of discovery one hopes to encounter at a festival.
A contemporary dance that pulses with furious stomps and staccato movements, step offers an outlet for these girls who live in a rough part of town. An early scene sees the new step coach introduce herself to the team; she relates to the girls by telling them that she lives on the same street as 25-year-old Freddie Gray, who died in police custody in April 2015 following massive injuries to his spinal cord. An appropriate pause respects Gray's life and lets the cause hit close to home for the girls before they channel their anxieties into dance.
The step practices are intense and absorbing as Lipitz and cinematographer Casey Regan take an up-close portrait of the girls as they escape the violence of the streets. The escalating racial tension and divides in the USA provide an urgent backdrop to Step while the potency of the Black Lives Matter movement infuses the girls' performances. Every stomp and every step of their journey is a passionate assertion of their rights, particularly when it comes to education.
Lipitz takes audiences into the lives of several members of the step team. These profiles illustrate how a handful of students from the same team, class, school, and community have vastly dissimilar backgrounds that shape their experiences.
The founder of the step team is Blessin Giraldo, a popular social butterfly who owns the stage with slick technique, confidence, and fierce stage presence. (She's a dead ringer for Beyoncé Knowles, if Broadway ever has plans to make "Lemonade" a musical.) She has the ingredients for stardom, but a dangerously low GPA [grade point average] threatens her future, while her boyfriend and her mother both discourage her from pursuing viable education opportunities far away from home.
Threads with students like Cori Grainger and Tayla Soloman, on the other hand, show members of the step team finding as much success and support in the home as they have on the dance floor. While both girls have solid potential for higher education and bright futures, Step nevertheless shows them having difficult conversations with their parents and counsellors that suggest they must manage their expectations. Only a small fraction of students in America can afford the costly tuition of the top-tier and Step puts audiences directly inside the homes of citizens who simply need the opportunity to reach their full potential.
While Step lets the girls have their own voices, Lipitz doesn't shy away from holding parents accountable for the roles they play in determining their children's futures. The support Blessin receives, or struggles to receive, is a recurring challenge as her mother battles depression and avoids meeting with the teachers and advisors who work tirelessly to help the young woman succeed. The other girls, alternatively, have parents at their sides: at step practice and at orientation meetings, they are present and engaged. The support has visible effects on the confidence and behaviour of the girls.
The hero of the film, however, is the school's academic advisor Paula Dofat. She displays selfless devotion to the girls as she guides them through the opportunities at their feet and advises them on the steps to achieve their potential. Dofat's effort with Blessin is especially inspiring and effective in illustrating the priceless benefit that a positive role model has on a child's future. One particularly poignant scene sees Dofat invest a personal stake in Blessin's future and Step is surprisingly emotional—naked and disarming even—when the educator steps up for the girl when nobody else will.
This rousing and inspiring doc is a sure-fire crowd-pleaser. Lipitz brings all the right moves to her documentary as Step has the finesse, technique, artistry, and heart to score a perfect 10. Like a confident performer, Step struts up to the stage with a cool swagger and throws down the glove before it makes your spirit soar. Let the race begin!

Term for a chemical reaction in which one atom or molecule emits electrons (oxidized) and another substance absorbs (reduces) these electrons. With the oxidation is always always a reduction connected. Both processes together are partial reactions of a so-called redox reaction, Originally, the oxidation was only the chemical reaction of a substance with oxygen Roger that. Later, the term was extended to include reactions in which hydrogen atoms are removed from a compound (dehydrogenation).
Oxidizing agents are those substances that can easily absorb electrons, such as oxygen. chlorine and fluorine. The oxidizing agents are reduced in the redox reaction itself. And reducing agents are those substances that easily release electrons, such as hydrogen, carbon and base metals like iron. magnesium and sodium, The reducing agents are themselves oxidized in the redox reaction. In the winemaking Oxidation should only take place in the most precisely dosed and controlled form, because uncontrolled occur frequently wine faults on.
It is, so to speak, Emperor Napoleon III. (1808-1873) that the mostly harmful influence of too much oxygen was clarified. He commissioned the chemist Louis in 1863 Pasteur (1822-1895) to investigate why so much wine spoils. The influence of microorganisms was then completely unknown. Pasteur noted that too much air intake prevented the spread of Acetobacter (Acetic acid bacteria) favors and thus wine too vinegar becomes. But he also discovered that low oxygen influx can positively influence development.
The oxidation of wine takes place in three phases. In Phase 1, oxygen from the atmosphere is taken up to a maximum possible concentration of 9 mg / l at a temperature of 20 ° C and can be measured as dissolved gas in the wine. In Phase 2, the dissolved oxygen combines with easily oxidizable wine components. This bound oxygen can no longer be measured. In the same amount of bound oxygen can be taken up again oxygen. In phase 3, the bound oxygen is transferred to substances that are not directly oxidizable. There he leads to sensory and analytically perceptible consequences.
In the case of wine oxidation is usually disturbing or desired only under controlled conditions. In case of uncontrolled application or unwanted oxygen access flavorings attacked and it often comes to negative taste and color changes, which are different Age tones and Brown break, as well as unwanted Sherryton express. The color scale can change from yellow to yellow amber until dark brown. The wine loses freshness and ages faster. Oxygen contact can also change Acetic acid bacteria and And arrived (Yeasts) multiply, which ultimately make the wine even inedible.

BEIJING (AP) — Twenty-nine Chinese workers abducted by rebels in Sudan more than a week ago have been released and were boarding a Red Cross plane to leave rebel territory Tuesday, state media said.
Rebels from the Sudan People's Liberation Movement-North attacked a road construction site on Jan. 28. Of the 47 Chinese who worked there, 29 were taken hostage, 17 managed to escape and one died.
Xinhua News Agency reported the abducted Chinese workers were boarding a plane from the International Committee of the Red Cross, and state broadcaster CCTV said all 29 had been released. No other details of their release were provided.
An official with the Foreign Ministry said it would look into the report. ICRC spokesman Jean-Yves Clemenzo in Geneva said the group would not comment immediately because of the sensitivity of the matter.
Xinhua said the Red Cross was mediating between officials in the capital Khartoum and the Sudan People's Liberation Movement-North, a branch of a guerrilla movement that has fought various regimes in Khartoum for decades. Its members hail from a minority ethnic group now in control of much of South Sudan, which became the world's newest country six months ago in a breakaway from Sudan.
Sudan has accused South Sudan of arming pro-South Sudan groups in the South Kordofan region, where the Chinese workers' camp was located. The government of South Sudan says the accusations are a smoke screen intended to justify a future invasion of the South.
Chinese companies have invested heavily in Sudanese oil production. South Sudan and Sudan are in a bitter dispute over oil, which is produced primarily in South Sudan but runs through Sudanese pipelines for export.

Q: Don't do anything if CSV column is empty -- How do I achieve this? MWE (actually not totally MWE, but I think it's easier to see what happens this way):
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{csvsimple}
\usepackage{graphicx}

\begin{document}
\setlength\unitlength{1cm}

\csvreader[head to column names]{jobname2.csv}{}{%
\vfill
\artist

\includegraphics[height=37mm]{\filenameone}

\includegraphics[height=37mm]{\filenametwo}

\comment
}
\end{document}

Content of jobname2.csv:
artist,filenameone,filenametwo,comment
Foo,example-image-a,example-image-b,Nothing
Foobar,example-image-a,,Something

When there is nothing in the filenametwo column, I don't want anything done (not sure how to express that properly).

A: csvsimple provides a macro \ifcsvstrequal{X}{Y}{equal}{not equal} to conditionally execute code if the two parameters X and Y are equal or not (basically an \ifx of two \edef-ed token lists). You can use that macro in your example without the need for extra packages like xstring:
\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents*}{\jobname.csv}

Q: Slurm --cpus-per-task command Hello everyone I'm actually using a soft called RepeatMasker, in this pipeline I can run parallelized job via slurm with the command -pa
here is a doc about this command :
RepeatMasker -h
-pa(rallel) [number]
        The number of sequence batch jobs [50kb minimum] to run in parallel.
        RepeatMasker will fork off this number of parallel jobs, each
        running the search engine specified. For each search engine
        invocation ( where applicable ) a fixed the number of cores/threads
        is used:

          RMBlast     4 cores
To estimate the number of cores a RepeatMasker run will use simply
        multiply the -pa value by the number of cores the particular search
        engine will use.

so in a slurm batch script I should add :
#SBATCH --cpus-per-task=8

RepeatMakser -pa 2, right?

since 8/4 =2
But I wondered if I should also add others #SBATCH parameters or if --cpus-per-task is sufficient ?
Thanks al ot

Home NEWS News Rising prices undercut land buys
Rising prices undercut land buys
Stewardship Fund is spending more for less, and letting hunters in
by Brian McCombie
Environmentalists and conservationists hailed passage of the new state budget, which included a 40% increase in the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Fund. Starting in 2011, the state will increase the amount it gives annually to the fund from $60 million to $86 million, for the next decade.
"We're very pleased with the $860 million [the 10-year total]," says George Meyer, a former state Department of Natural Resources secretary who now heads the Wisconsin Wildlife Federation. "It is a very substantial amount of funding, and will be able to purchase very substantial parcels of property."
Yet, with ever-escalating land prices, this budgeted amount isn't as large as it may seem. And tricky budgetary language over public access may prove contentious.
Since its inception in 1990, the Stewardship Fund has been used to buy or help buy (via matching grants) 493,000 acres of land, at a cost of some $533 million. About 90% of the purchased land is open to the public.
In 1990, the program was funded with $23.1 million. While the $86 million for 2011 is more than three times that amount, it represents less than half the actual buying power.
Last June, the Legislative Fiscal Bureau estimated that to match its 1990 buying power, the Stewardship Fund would need a $228 million annual budget in 2010. This is due mainly to surging land values, although inflation and rising incomes are also part of the equation.
Most of the Stewardship Fund land is forested. The Fiscal Bureau found that the market value of forest property has increased more than six-fold since 2006 and projected it would be nearly nine times as much by 2010.
Property values are skyrocketing in northern Wisconsin, where large blocks of forested lands are coming up for sale through timber and paper company divestments. In several Wisconsin counties - Iron, Oneida, Taylor and Vilas - values rose by more than 10% just between 2006 and 2007. Florence County was almost 9%, while seven other counties saw increases of 7% or higher.
Given these numbers, it's no surprise that Gov. Jim Doyle actually asked for $105 million a year in stewardship reauthorization funding. Assembly Republicans countered with a $25 million offer. Meyer says this was more or less a bargaining position for what the Republicans really wanted: virtually guaranteed public access, especially for hunting, on any lands purchased with stewardship monies.
Over the last several years, Dane and Waukesha counties purchased several tracts of land using 50-50 matching grants from the fund. Local ordinances prohibited the discharge of firearms, so public hunting with firearms was not allowed on these lands. That rankled sportsmen, who didn't like the precedent of using stewardship money for land where hunting wasn't allowed.
And so Assembly Republicans insisted in the budget that lands bought with stewardship money must provide public access for "nature-based outdoor activity," first and foremost hunting. The exceptions? If there is a public safety concern, a unique animal or plant community that must be protected, or to "accommodate usership patterns, as defined by rule by the [DNR]."
And that last part means what, exactly? No one seems to know.
"Does that mean making sure we're not having user conflicts on individual properties?" asks Vicki Elkin, stewardship campaign director for the Gathering Waters Conservancy in Madison. "Does it mean [some lands should accommodate] a specific recreation demand? There's a lot of gray area."
Pat Henderson, DNR deputy secretary, agrees on the need for clarification: "Obviously, that's an undefined term in the budget."
In early 2008, the DNR will begin assembling a citizen advisory group to write the actual rules by which future stewardship monies will be distributed. Says Henderson, "That will be one of our advisory group's main tasks: to help us understand what 'usership pattern' means."
The advisory group will include representatives of various recreational constituencies, not all of whom see eye-to-eye on access issues. Because of the budget, says Henderson, "the land is going to be presumed to be open for public access. Not necessarily just hunting, but public access." The group's task will be to decide what that means.
Henderson is optimistic: "Yes, it's always contentious when you're trying to define these terminologies and when you're trying to actually write down the current practice. But everybody coming into it is coming in with the same goals."
In recent years, Dane County has used Stewardship Fund money to help buy the 2.5-acre Patrick Marsh Natural Resource Area in Sun Prairie and the 57-acre Lower Mud Lake Natural Resource Area in the town of Dunn. Stewardship grants totaling over $1.8 million are pending for four other Dane County parcels, including the 245-acre Door Creek Wetlands Natural Resource Area in the towns of Dunn and Pleasant Springs, says Laura Guyer, a conservation fund manager for Dane County.
In October 2007, the Dane County Board amended county ordinances to allow for firearms hunting on county lands by designating these lands "wildlife areas." In these areas, gun hunting, as well as trapping and fishing, are allowed.
But the timing was "serendipitous, not intentional," says Guyer. "Our policies were not changed simply in response to the Assembly actions."
Dane County , she notes, has offered archery hunting permits on certain county park lands since 2002 and has "spent considerable time - prior to the Assembly action - examining ways to responsibly expand hunting opportunities."
Last month, Dane County also made the Dorn Creek/North Mendota Natural Resource Area in the town of Westport the county's first "wildlife area," and therefore open to public hunting and fishing. The county is now working on signs to this effect.
[The print version of this article at this point referred to a private nonprofit group opening some land to hunting. The group has challenged this statement, saying hunting had always been permitted. In the interest of accuracy, this statement is omitted here.]
...Stewardship funding means public access, especially hunting. Not that such access was lacking: Only about 5% of previous Stewardship Fund purchases were closed to hunting.
Proponents of land acquisition see it as a tradeoff they're willing to make.
"We have a very small window of opportunity to protect Wisconsin's last remaining wild lands, especially near urban areas," Elkin argues. "In fact, it's a race against the clock. If we fail to act now, the debate over who has access to these lands will be moot, and tensions between user groups will only intensify

Discussion in Pakistan is whether the constitution is important or the institutions? Is the individual necessary or the rule of law is inevitable? The answer seems to be that the institutions are superior and individuals are important.

DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid codes for your genetic make-up. There are lots of facts about DNA, but here are 10 that are particularly interesting, important, or fun.
Key Takeaways: DNA Facts
DNA is the acronym for deoxyribonucleic acid.
DNA and RNA are the two types of nucleic acids the code for genetic information.
DNA is a double-helix molecule built from four nucleotides: adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), and cytosine (C).
Even though it codes for all the information that makes up an organism, DNA is built using only four building blocks, the nucleotides adenine, guanine, thymine, and cytosine.
Every human being shares 99% of their DNA with every other human.
If you put all the DNA molecules in your body end to end, the DNA would reach from the Earth to the Sun and back over 600 times (100 trillion times six feet divided by 92 million miles).
A parent and child share 99.5% of the same DNA.
You have 98% of your DNA in common with a chimpanzee.
If you could type 60 words per minute, eight hours a day, it would take approximately 50 years to type the human genome.
DNA is a fragile molecule. About a thousand times a day, something happens to it to cause errors. This could include errors during transcription, damage from ultraviolet light, or any of a host of other activities. There are many repair mechanisms, but some damage isn't repaired. This means you carry mutations! Some of the mutations cause no harm, a few are helpful, while others can cause diseases, such as cancer. A new technology called CRISPR could allow us to edit genomes, which might lead us to the cure of such mutations as cancer, Alzheimer's and, theoretically, any disease with a genetic component.
Scientists at Cambridge University believe humans have DNA in common with the mud worm and that it is the closest invertebrate genetic relative to us. In other words, you have more in common, genetically speaking, with a mud worm than you do with a spider or octopus or cockroach.
Humans and cabbage share about 40-50% common DNA.
Friedrich Miescher discovered DNA in 1869, although scientists did not understand DNA was the genetic material in cells until 1943. Prior to that time, it was widely believed that proteins stored genetic information.

Both gestational diabetes and polycystic ovary syndrome are disorders that are associated with developing non-insulin-dependent diabetes later in life. All pregnancies show some degree of resistance to insulin but about 5-8% have an exaggerated response in which glucose metabolism is clearly abnormal and it is labelled sectional diabetes. Over 20% of patients who have gestational diabetes will develop non-insulin-dependent diabetes in later life.
Polycystic ovaries are a sign of anovulation and are often associated with changes of obesity, hypertension, diabetes and excessive hair growth (hirsutism). On ultrasound, the ovaries of these women often show bead-like, little cysts along the periphery of the ovary. Experts remind us that this is not actually one disease but actually a sign of a cascade of disorders encompassing atherosclerosis, obesity, hyperlipidemia, hypertension and androgen excess. There is still a lot to learn about this condition.
A recent study, Antilla L, et al.:Polycystic ovaries in women with gestational diabetes. Obstet Gynecol 1998;92:13- 6, looked at how often women with gestational diabetes have findings consistent with polycystic ovaries after they finished their pregnancy and any breast feeding. They looked at 30 women with gestational diabetes and 31 women without gestational diabetes 6-16 months after delivery. The control women were matched for age and prepregnancy body mass index. They found that 45% of the women with gestational diabetes had ultrasound findings consistent with polycystic ovaries whereas only 7% of the women without gestational diabetes had those findings.
Women who are diagnosed with polycystic ovarian disease and subsequently get pregnant, should have routine glucose testing performed in pregnancy, perhaps more than once.
Women who have gestational diabetes in pregnancy should be tested after pregnancy for polycystic ovaries, as well as have lipid profiles, serial blood pressures and periodic glucose tolerance tests to see if (and when) they develop non-insulin dependent diabetes.
Physicians must do a better job in counselling women who have gestational diabetes about the post-pregnancy and lifelong medical problems they are at risk for.

Polyanisidine (POA) and polyanisidine-molybdate (POA−MoO42-) coatings have been successfully synthesized on steel grade СТ3 from aqueous solutions of oxalic acid by electrochemical method using cyclic voltammetry. The morphology and composition of these films were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energydispersive X-ray (EDAX) methods. It was proven that the introduction of MoO42- into the polyanisidine matrix raised the corrosion resistance of the POA coating and also improved its adhesion properties. The protective properties of steel grade CT3 with POA and POA-MoO42- films were studied using potentiodynamic polarization in 3.5% NaCl solution. The results showed that ions improve anti-corrosion properties of POA films.
