Twitter merger and acquisition rumours rampant
10 Feb 201161 Views
Companies such as Facebook and Google are showing a growing interest in purchasing Twitter with an estimated valuation of $8bn to $10bn.
According to a report from the Wall Street Journal, Google Inc, Facebook Inc and other companies have held meetings with Twitter, discussing the possible acquisition of the company. The company had estimated revenue of $100m and $110m in 2011. Twitter only made revenue of $45m in 2010 due to expenditure on hiring and data centre.
Co-founder of Twitter, Evan Williams, and Dick Costolo, the chief executive, have both previously sold companies to Google.
A Twitter spokesman however, refused to discuss its finances or the valuations and interest by other companies. Google and Facebook also remained quiet on the subject.
Twitter, which was created in 2006, has 200m users and only introduced advertising last year. Promoted Trends, a new Twitter ad service, has been selling out its inventory every day.
Ethan Kurzweil of venture capital firm Bessemer Venture Partners stated, "Are these prices justifiable based on financial multiples? No."
He also added, "But these start-ups are building social services and have lots of data about their users" and "the market is valuing that mightily right now."
Public offering has become increasing popular, with the internet music service Pandora Media Inc planning a $100m public offering. These high valuations have sparked other start-ups to explore public offerings.
The recent offering of $315m by AOL to purchase The Huffington Post, along with the previous successes of online start-ups such as Facebook and Groupon Inc, have given hope to Twitter, with hopes of transforming into a $100bn company.
Debra Aho Williamson, an eMarketer analyst, commented on Twitter's success with advertising.
"The company is having great ad-sales momentum right now, but we still think they need to do something big to increase usage and get more people seeing and interacting with tweets.
"Most of their advertisers are just experimenting at this point; the challenge will be to get those advertisers to come back and buy more," she said.

Designed by Setter Architects, this rustic office space was designed with a focus on working, dining and relaxing.
The Israeli-based software company Verint had its office space redesigned in order to create a more youthful and dynamic workplace. The end result of the office re-design is just that and its focus on natural elements gives it a rustic charm that is uncommon in most office spaces. Workers and visitors are greeted with a large lobby that has artfully placed vegetation on its walls in geometric shapes. The rest of the office features similar natural elements, with plants and wood being the main feature in most rooms. The rustic office even features a cheerful lounge area with an exposed brick wall, colorful decor and a foosball table.
This office was designed to optimize a comforting design that centers around nature and accommodates the evolving habits and environments in today's workplace.

Daily coffee doesn't affect cancer risk, according to new research from QIMR
Home / Daily coffee doesn't affect cancer risk, according to new research from QIMR
Researchers from QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute have found that drinking coffee does not change a person's risk of being diagnosed with, or dying from, cancer, in a study published in the International Journal of Epidemiology.
The large Mendelian randomisation study looked at data from more than 300,000 people and showed that drinking coffee every day neither reduced nor increased a person's risk of developing any cancer.
Coffee contains a complex mixture of bioactive ingredients, including substances such as caffeine and kahweol, which have been shown to display antitumour effects in animal studies. However, its potential anticancer effect on humans has not been established, with studies to date producing conflicting findings for overall cancer risk and for individual cancers such as breast and prostate cancers.
The QIMR Berghofer study used cancer data drawn from the UK Biobank cohort for more than 46,000 people who had been diagnosed with most invasive cancer types, including about 7,000 people who died from the disease.
Senior author, QIMR's Associate Professor Stuart MacGregor said "Our two-pronged research looked at whether cancer rates differed among people with different levels of self-reported coffee consumption, and whether the same trend was seen when we replaced self-reported consumption with genetic predisposition towards coffee consumption. We found there was no real relationship between how many cups of coffee a person had a day and if they developed any particular cancers."
"The study also ruled out a link between coffee intake and dying from the disease," he said.
The genetic and preference information from the people with cancer was compared with data from more than 270,000 others who had never been diagnosed with cancer. QIMR Berghofer lead researcher, Jue-Sheng Ong, said the study also looked at some common individual cancers such as breast, ovarian, lung and prostate cancers and found drinking coffee did not increase or decrease their incidence.
"There was some inconclusive evidence about colorectal cancer, where those who reported drinking a lot of coffee had a slightly lower risk of developing cancer, but conversely examination of data from those people with a higher genetic predisposition to drink more coffee seemed to indicate a greater risk of developing the disease. The disparity in those findings would suggest more research is needed to clarify if there is any relationship between colorectal cancer and coffee" Mr Ong said.
Associate Professor MacGregor said the study had implications for public health messaging around the world.
"The health benefits of coffee have been argued for a long time, but this research shows simply changing your coffee consumption isn't an effective way of protecting yourself from cancer," he said

Welcome to THE UNWAVERING
"The movement dedicated to educating & empowering the brave men & women who have or are still serving our great nation."
Join our team as we interview fellow service members, industry leaders and experts on topics such as tuition assistance, networking, VA home loans, filing for disability and much, much more. By sharing resources, benefits and opportunities with you and your families we hope to build a community that inspires one another to REACH THEIR FULL POTENTIAL.
Kevin Barba
Founder, The Unwavering. Kevin has served as a Quality Assurance Inspector at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory since July 2018, leading a cross-functional team of Hardware Quality Assurance representatives on various research and development projects. Prior to that, he served in the United States Marine Corps from August 2010 to August 2018 as an Avionics Technician, Communications Security Assistant and Quality Assurance Inspector. His tours of duty include Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 465 (HMH-465), Third Marine Aircraft Wing (3d MAW), & Marine Helicopter Squadron 1 (HMX-1).
Gerard Garcia
Co-Host, The Unwavering Podcast. Gerard served as a Quality Assurance Inspector & NASA Instructor from January 2017 to May 2019. Prior to that he served as a Quality Assurance Inspector with the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) from April 2016 to January 2017. As a 7-year veteran of the United States Air Force, Gerard has played an integral role in military aviation & manned flight missions on C-17 & C-5 aircraft from September 2008 to February 2016. His tours of duty include the 62nd Aircraft Maintenance Squadron (62nd AMXS), 8th Expeditionary Aircraft Maintenance Squadron (8th EAMS) – Det 1, & 721st Aircraft Maintenance Squadron (721st AMXS).
When we first started this project in March of 2019, our mission was simple: Pay it forward and give service members as well as their families the tools necessary to be successful both in their personal and professional lives. Yes, our vision is ambitious, but we want to give you more than helpful links or inspirational stories.
We want to bridge the gap between the military and civilian community.
We can begin to reach our full potential by educating by those around us about the wisdom and experience we as military members bring to the job market or education system. Even though the gap between the military and civilian community may never be completely eliminated, we can begin to narrow the gap by learning from each other.
Each and every one of you has made incredible sacrifices during your time in the service that many outside of our ranks will never truly comprehend. It is time you have a community that supports you not just while you are on active duty, but well after you hang up your uniform.
Why is this so important to us?
Gerard and I would not be sitting here today speaking with you if it was not for our time in the service or the friends and family who supported us along the way. Although the two of us served in separate branches for different lengths of time and were assigned completely different roles in the military, we both had the unique opportunity to serve others.
Many of you who have joined this movement or are listening to us for the first time have contributed more than anyone outside of our community could ever imagine. You signed a contract, not to be a professional athlete, actor or musician, making millions of dollars a year, but to sacrifice so that others would not have too.

Q: Slot machine TimeLine animation not working I am trying to develop a slot machine reel application. I have a custom reel pane which adds children vertically. When a spin button is clicked children have to move and when the last child reaches a boundary it has to shift its position above the first child. What I did is shown below.
public class ReelPane extends Pane {

    Timeline timeline = new Timeline();

    @Override
    protected void layoutChildren() {

        List<Node> managed = getChildren();
        double y = 0;
        for (Node node : managed) {
            node.setLayoutX(0);
            node.setLayoutY(y);
            y += node.getBoundsInLocal().getHeight();
        }
    }

    public void spin() {
        List<Node> managed = getChildren();
        double dy = 4;
        for (Node node : managed) {
            timeline.getKeyFrames().addAll(new KeyFrame(Duration.millis(2000),new KeyValue(node.layoutYProperty(),node.getLayoutY()+dy)));

            if(node.getLayoutY()>=600){
                node.setLayoutY(-50);
            }

        }
        timeline.setCycleCount(Timeline.INDEFINITE);
        timeline.play();

        launch(args);
    }
}

But the children are not moving when button is clicked.Can someone tell what went wrong?

A: All of the KeyFrames of your Timeline are scheduled at the same time. Furthermore the if statement is executed before you even start the animation.
Imho it's easier to put all the elements in a VBox and simply repeatedly change translateY repeatedly from a negative value equal to the element height to 0 and move the last element to the front at the end of the cycle. You may want to apply a clip to the parent of the VBox though to hide anything exceeding the bounds of a single element.
@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
    VBox pane = new VBox();
    Pane parent = new Pane(pane);
    parent.setPrefSize(50, 50);
    parent.setMinSize(Region.USE_PREF_SIZE, Region.USE_PREF_SIZE);
    parent.setMaxSize(Region.USE_PREF_SIZE, Region.USE_PREF_SIZE);
    Timeline timeline = new Timeline(new KeyFrame(Duration.ZERO, new KeyValue(pane.translateYProperty(), -50d)),
            new KeyFrame(Duration.seconds(2), evt -> {
                pane.getChildren().get(pane.getChildren().size() - 1).toBack();
            }, new KeyValue(pane.translateYProperty(), 0d)));
    timeline.setCycleCount(Animation.INDEFINITE);
    for (int i = 0; i < 6; i++) {
        Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(50, 50, Color.RED.interpolate(Color.BLACK, i / 6d));
        pane.getChildren().add(rect);
    }
    parent.setClip(new Rectangle(50, 50));
    timeline.play();
    Scene scene = new Scene(new StackPane(parent), 200, 200);
    primaryStage.setScene(scene);
    primaryStage.show();
}

A: A much simpler tool for the needed animation is PauseTransition.
If you do not want to specify the layout in the fxml you can override layoutChildren() as you did but you'll need to disable automatic layout (layoutChildren()) so the animation can change positions:
import java.util.List;
import javafx.animation.PauseTransition;
import javafx.scene.Node;
import javafx.scene.layout.Pane;
import javafx.util.Duration;

public class ReelPane extends Pane {

    private List<Node> managed;
    private double dy, numberOfCchildren;
    private boolean isAnimating = false;
    private static final double PAUSE = 1;

    @Override
    protected void layoutChildren() {

        if(isAnimating) return;
        managed = getChildren();
        numberOfCchildren = managed.size();
        double y = 0;
        for (Node node : managed) {
            node.setLayoutX(0);
            node.setLayoutY(y);
            dy = Math.max(dy, node.getBoundsInLocal().getHeight()); //dy stores the highest
            y += dy;
        }
    }
    public void spin() {

        isAnimating = true;
        PauseTransition pause = new PauseTransition(Duration.seconds(PAUSE));
        pause.setOnFinished(event ->{
            for (Node node : managed) {

                if(node.getLayoutY()>= (numberOfCchildren -1) * dy){
                    node.setLayoutY(-dy);
                }
                node.setLayoutY(node.getLayoutY() +dy);
            }
            pause.play();
        });

        pause.play();
    }
}

Consider disabling the button while spinning:
import javafx.fxml.FXML;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;

public class Controller {

    @FXML
    ReelPane reel;
    @FXML
    Button spin;

    public void initialize() {

        spin.setOnAction(event -> {
            reel.spin();
            spin.setDisable(true);
        });
    }
}

<?import javafx.scene.control.Button?>

The following movie was made during a neurobionics lab course I taught. NOTE: Loud! Turn down the volume!
What can be seen are two robots (the larger one is called "Joschka" and the smaller one is called "Günther"). One is programmed to chase (the "hunter") and the other is programmed to run away (the "prey"). The interesting thing is that they can only sense each other through the sound they are making when they are moving (and through their collision avoidance systems). This is why they stop at regular intervals to listen, otherwise they would get confused by their own motor noise.
Avoid obstacles (this always takes precedence).
Move toward a sound (hunter) or away from a sound (prey).
The idea of the lab course was to show students (mainly biologists, but also computer scientists) how to start with inspiration from nature and get to a technical implementation.
I designed and taught this 3-4 day lab course which began with the physical and neurobiological basics of sound localization. Then different algorithms were implemented with Matlab on the PC. On the last day, the behavior of two sound localizing robots had to be programmed (I did the implementation of the sound localization algorithms on the robots myself, as that would have been beyond the scope of the lab course).
Scroll down for a description and close-up pictures of the robots.
Infineon C164CI microcontroller (Conrad Electronic C-CONTROL II unit).
This is the programming language of the C-CONTROL II unit. It is syntactically similar to C, but compiled to bytecode and interpreted in a virtual machine on the C164CI microcontroller.
Wheel	encoders, IR collision avoidance system (front left / front right), touch sensor, motor current sense, IR communication system.
2 omnidirectional electret condenser microphone capsules, connected to a custom-built preamplifier board.
Correlation in the time domain.
Microphone preamplifier connected to 2 A/D inputs of microcontroller.
Dual delay-line algorithm (detection of phase coincidence in the frequency domain).
Spectrum Digital DSK6713 DSP Starter Kit board (Texas Instruments TMS320C6713 digital signal processor).
Microphone preamplifier connected to stereo line-in input of DSP board.
Communication between C164CI microntroller and DSP board through I²C bus.

Joining Forces to Close the Gender Gap in Education
dg-unwomened8x6.jpg
Director-General Irina Bokova and UN Women Executive Director Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka today seized the occasion of Mobile Learning Week celebrations to present a new programme, "Empowering adolescent girls and young women through education", to UNESCO's Member States, on 24 February 2015.
The programme is a joint undertaking by UNESCO, UN Women, the UN Population Fund (UNFPA) and the World Bank, and will be officially launched at a meeting of the Commission on the Status of Women at UN Headquarters in New York on 10 March. It provides a coordinated and collaborative effort to close the persistent gender gap in education, focusing on two groups that are most at risk of discrimination and exclusion: adolescent girls (10-19 year olds) and young women (20-24 year olds).
After warmly welcoming Ms Mlambo-Ngcuka to UNESCO for her first visit, the Director-General told a meeting of Member States that the new programme was based on the shared conviction that "gender equality is the most powerful force we have to build more inclusive, more just, more sustainable societies" and education "a game changer for the empowerment of girls and women."
It will be rolled out gradually in 20 nations where the education gender gap is most critical, and will concentrate on four areas: improving quality and relevance of education; raising awareness at all levels to create a favourable environment for gender equality; strengthening links between the health and education sectors; and improving the data base of statistics on gender and education.
"By combining our strengths we will be able to act on several levels and accompany these countries to make education a lever for equality between men and women, which in turn will serve as a motor for development" said Irina Bokova. "Our ambition is to make a difference in a different manner, through a crosscutting approach, and putting our competences and efforts together."
Noting that gender parity and gender equality have not been achieved by a single country in the world, Ms Mlambo-Ngcuka emphasized that education was the single most effective strategy to empower women and address large gaps in political and economic participation. "By linking health, education and other relevant sectors and creating an enabling environment we want to create new or second chances for young women who have left school or are at risk of leaving school. We want to support the transition from education to the meaningful and fulfilling employment. Together we will apply our expertise and experience to this Programme with the aim to create an empowerment model for young women which can be scaled up and implemented in different national contexts."
Both leaders emphasized the strategic contribution of the programme to the post-2015 development agenda.
The new programme falls under the framework of the Global Partnership for Girls and Women's Education, launched by UNESCO in 2011.
Prior to the meeting with Member States, Ms Mlambo-Ngcuka addressed the official opening of Mobile Learning Week 2015, celebrated this week under the theme of Leveraging technology to empower women and girls.


In 2013 the United Nations General Assembly declared that the 3rd of March every year would be the day of"the adoption of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES)", known simply as World Wildlife Day. This day would not only be a great opportunity to celebrate the beauty of the natural world but also to raise awareness of the plight of many species due to wildlife crime.
Both plants and animals provide the Earth with everything it needs to make it habitable for people to exist and thrive here, providing oxygen, clean water and food and even primitive tools came from plants and animals, along with clothes. Even fossil fuels have evolved as a result of decaying plant and animal species over billions of years, providing people with energy to give us heat and electrical power.
Although there are currently numerous conservation initiatives around the world that promote the importance of large, iconic species such as elephants, tigers and polar bears, World Wildlife Day is about also promoting the importance of smaller species whose significance to the eco-system is often overlooked. Such species include frogs, bats and even crabs amongst numerous others.
For example, the Mexican government has recently announced a commitment of $37 million to help to secure the future of the vaquita which is the smallest porpoise in the world. With less than 100 individuals thought to be left in the wild (only a quarter of which are thought to be breeding females), the species is constantly underthreat from the gillnets used by fisherman in the Sea of Cortez in their hunt for totoaba fish.
Ultimately this World Wildlife Day, we should all take the time to appreciate the signifcance of wildlife not only in our local areas but also all around the world. Like us, animals are able to use tools to aid their survival, form strong bonds between one another and are able to experience complex emotions including both happiness and pain. We share our world with both animals and plants that quite simply, we cannot live without.


So, if you didn't know, I am an absolute sucker for personality tests – not necessarily because I want to pigeonhole myself but more because feeling understood and understanding other people is high on my list of fun things to do.
I love people. I love learning about them, talking to them, seeing what makes them tick- but here's where I get confused – I really dislike socialising in large groups, I need at least a week after a social occasion to recuperate and I can't stand spontaneous outings, I need time to mentally prepare myself before I commit to doing anything social.
So what if you're both? That's certainly the way I feel, I love being around people, they don't necessarily drain me but I definitely don't actively seek out social occasions to attend in order to feel connected and a part of things – I'm happy at home in my own company and I rarely feel lonely.
So here's where the Outgoing Introvert steps in, not sure where you fit in on the Extrovert / Introvert scale? Maybe you're an Outgoing Introvert too – here are 5 signs of the Outgoing Introvert.
1 – Rich Inner World.
You spend a lot of time in your head, you like to mull over conversations and ideas, analysing them and thinking about them in fine detail. Not only this, you like to discuss what you're thinking with trusted individuals and hear their points of view too.
2- You like to put others needs first.
You're often thinking of others and how to make them feel comfortable, you like to relate to people and show empathy and let them know that you care. You're compassionate and eager to help people close to you analyse their issues and come to a solution.
3 – Environment is everything.
Sometimes you're the chatterbox and the centre of attention, but only when the atmosphere is right. If you're at the gig of your favourite band you might be the life and soul, dancing and singing at the top of your voice, many people think of you as being extroverted, but take you out of that situation and into another crowded place with things going on that don't interest you, then you become the introvert, quiet and a little withdrawn – it's all about the environment.
4 – Shallow friendships won't do.
Outgoing Introverts want to get to the nitty-gritty, small talk is not their favourite past time at all and friendship which centres around such a thing is unlikely to endure. Don't discuss where you got your nails done or what the weather is like, talk about the planets, about religion, about dreams and beliefs – friendships centred around intense and imaginative subjects really get the outgoing introvert's mind going.
Don't be surprised if your outgoing introvert is a little on the reclusive side occasionally – dropping off the radar for a week or so.
Despite being outgoing we're still introverts and that, of course, means regaining energy in our own space and on our own. I definitely need to do this after socialising for long spells – even to the point where I need time away from my close family members to reflect. It's not because I'm fed up of people or that they annoy me, it's just that in order to re-energise I need to evaluate and still my mind for a time. This is difficult to do around other people.
Of course, as human beings it's impossible to categorize people definitively – we're complex beings and no one is truly 100% any personality type – just because you feel a certain stack of cognitive functions fits you doesn't mean that you're exactly as that type is described and no single personality type is better than another. You could argue that we're all ambiverts or that because we're all social beings in the grand scheme of things, that we're all extroverts.
Wherever you fit on the scale you're an amazing human being and sometimes if you don't fit anywhere, it's because you're supposed to stand out!

UPDATE 1-UK's Johnson urges Trump to de-escalate Iran situation
(Recasts with White House statement, adds comments on nuclear deal)
LONDON/WASHINGTON, Jan 8 (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and U.S. President Donald Trump discussed Iranian missile attacks on Wednesday, even as the two leaders separately offered different approaches on how to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons.
The two allied leaders spoke in a call before Trump, in a speech, backed away from any military response toward Tehran in retaliation for the strikes on military bases in Iraq housing U.S. troops, Johnson's spokesman and the White House said.
The Iranian strikes came after the United States killed a top Iranian commander in Baghdad last week. Trump said no U.S. troops were killed in Tehran's strikes.
Johnson, in the call, urged Trump to de-escalate the situation urgently to avoid further conflict, Johnson's spokesman said.
"The two leaders discussed the current situation in the Middle East and agreed to continue close coordination in support of shared national security interests," White House spokesman Judd Deere said in a statement. He gave no other details.
Still the leaders, whose countries are close allies, separately backed different approaches to Iran.
Johnson told the UK's parliament earlier on Wednesday the 2015 nuclear deal negotiated between Iran and six world powers, including the United States and the United Kingdom, remained the best option to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons.
Trump pulled out of the deal in 2018 and adopted a "maximum pressure" campaign against Tehran, but Johnson told UK lawmakers the agreement "remains a shell into which we can put substance again."
In his remarks at the White House on Wednesday, Trump called the pact negotiated under his Democratic predecessor Barack Obama "very defective."
"The time has come for the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Russia, and China to recognize this reality," Trump said.
"They must now break away from the remnants of the Iran deal - or JCPOA - and we must all work together toward making a deal with Iran that makes the world a safer and more peaceful place."

Lejeune HS: About Our School
Lejeune High School is located aboard Camp Lejeune Marine Corps Base and is operated by the Department of Defense Education Activity. Founded in 1944, the originally named Camp Lejeune High School was led by a Principal and a Marine Officer, thus requiring certain military expectations to be followed such as grooming standards and locker inspections. The first campus was located on Brewster Boulevard in what is now the Russell Family Building. In 1961, it was relocated to Stone Street in what is now the John A. Lejeune Education Center. In 1968, Camp Lejeune High School was renamed to Lejeune High School. A new campus was built for the school in 1990.
A $40 million contract was award in March 2017 for a comprehensive renovation and the construction of a new two-story complex facing Brewster Boulevard. The project, involving 151,000 square feet, will move Lejeune High School forward to the new 21st century learning community design. Construction is ongoing in phases while school remains in session. The target date for completion is Sept 2020.
("old" Lejeune High School front, facing Stone Street, 2017)
The office front entrance is now located off of Brewster Boulevard. The "old" front entrance from Stone Street has been closed. Parents and visitors may visit our campus via Brewster Blvd and make a right at the fork. Our parking lot is just past the fenced Walsh Construction area on the left. Parents and visitors may follow the signs by the sidewalk to the front office entrance.

Also, it was noted that during the Cognia (Advanced Ed) review there was a deficiency in (Indicator A.4). Which indicates that there is apparent need for an intervention in the social and emotional areas of student development and interactions with other students and teachers. Using the "Can Do U" program, there will be a 15% decrease in the number of student/parent and or social/ emotional contacts with the counselors quarterly.

Here are 10 things we've learned about the Samsung Gear S4
We should have a few busy months ahead of us. Google is working on a new Pixel watch, LG on two intelligent timepieces and with IFA approaching, we're sure there will be some goodies in store from Fitbit, Garmin, Fossil and others. And lets not forget the Apple Watch 4 which is expected to land in September.
Not to be left behind, Samsung is reportedly working on the Gear S4 smartwatch. This will be a successor to the Gear S3 launched in 2016 and Gear Sport released last October. The current range is in desperate need for an upgrade, but the wait for the Gear S4 should not be too long.
The folks over at SamMobile say Samsung has labelled the new watch with the model number SM-R800 and codename Galileo. Unfortunately, apart this information, they've revealed little else. But other sources have.
Here is everything we've learned so far:
The Gear S4 could arrive as soon as next month. It is rumoured for release alongside the Galaxy Note 9 at Samsung's Unpacked 2018 event in New York city on August 9th. The early release might give it an edge over products from other companies which are expected from September onwards. Reports say the Gear S4 has already been certified in Europe which points to an imminent release.
The watch is expected to have the same round faced design, but it should be thinner and lighter than the S3. This should not be a difficult feat considering the S3 is a pretty chunky animal.
Expect the usual upgrades to the processor and memory.
The watch looks set to have LTE connectivity. This allows you to leave your smartphone behind while still staying in the loop on messages and calls. So far, LTE watches have been few and far between.
The smartwatch is also expected to come with better health and fitness features. The S Health app will be getting more in-depth sleep tracking and possibly more.
Some reports even speak of blood pressure monitoring. The company has apparently figured out how to take readings from the wrist. Similar to the way a light sensor is used for measuring heart rate, the new sensor works by shining polarized light and then sensing the intensity of the scattered light. If the technology proves accurate, it means you'll be able to monitor your blood pressure around the clock directly from your smartwatch. A game changer as no one else has managed this so far.
We are expecting two variants of the new wearable with a Classic and more rugged, sporty version possibly being revealed.
The current Gear S3 includes a 380mAh battery but this will be bumped up to 470mAh. The bigger capacity along with a more efficient processor should extend the 3 days you get on the current generation watch.
Rumours are abound that Samsung might ditch its Tizen operating system and swap it with Google's Wear OS. This rumour is from Evan Glass, a tipster with a well known track record. He recently tweeted the following: "Seen on the wrists of Samsung employees: Gear watches running not Tizen, but Wear OS."
Some rumours speak of a new name. Instead of Gear S4 the timepiece could be called the Samsung Galaxy Watch. This would make it fit neatly into Samsung's existing range of Galaxy products.

No word yet on pricing but more leaks will surface as August approaches. We'll keep a close eye and let you know when we hear more.

History of Center Academy
The History of Center Academy
The Beginning of Center Academy
Center Academy began in 1968 with the vision of its founder, Dr. Mack Hicks. Seeing the need for a specialized, full-day school for students who were falling through the cracks in traditional schools, Dr. Hicks established one of the first schools in the United States to focus on the needs of students with Attention Deficit Disorder and other neuropsychological processing difficulties.
With a team of professionals in the fields of neuropsychology, education, and individualized remediation, Center Academy opened its first classrooms in a small church and then expanded to the Science Center in St. Petersburg, Florida. The school focused on remediating learning disabilities and providing a small, focused, and positive learning environment for students who had experienced academic frustration, and for whom tutoring and other part-time programs were not successful.
London Center Academy Opened
Center Academy opened a campus in London, England in response to requests by parents and professionals. In the US, the St. Petersburg Center Academy moved to a larger site as the school expanded to meet the needs of more students. It moved to its permanent location in Pinellas Park, FL in 1974, finding a peaceful, 10-acre setting with horses and room to grow. In 1976, Center Academy established a campus in Tampa, FL.
Initially, Center Academy worked with elementary students who were struggling with large schools, ineffective teaching methods, or one-size-fits-all approaches to learning. Over the years, the scope of Center Academy expanded to include other students, and in 1984, Center Academy began its high school program.
Schools Celebration
The Pinellas Park and Tampa schools celebrated their first graduating class in 1987.
Center Academy was awarded a grant from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) to develop and research the effectiveness of individualized remedial programs for students with a wide range of learning disabilities. While developing these programs, Center Academy provided free evaluations and remediation to over 200 students under the NIMH grant.
Newest School
As Center Academy has expanded to locations around Florida, it has stayed true to its mission and kept its focus on addressing the unique needs of each student. Center Academy now has 10 schools in Florida. Its newest school in Orlando, FL, opened in August of 2021. Two new campuses will open in the fall of 2023, one in Cape Coral, FL and one in Palm Springs, FL.

Recent Comments "Where Is God When It Hurts?"
This book is a gem! Yancey does a great job of using real life examples to show the true purpose and benefit of physical pain and emotional suffering. I think this book could be helpful for anyone going through physical, spiritual or emotional pain or for those that want to support someone in pain. Well researched, well written and well done!
Yancey never gives easy answers to tough questions. He never glosses over what you are feeling. This book was a powerful book about the age old question "How can a loving God allow this?"Yancey gives both practical and biblical answers and advice a style which has bad him on of my parents favorite authors. If you are looking for an honest look at this hard question, pick up this book.
This book helped me through a large turning point in my life. I've gifted many copies to others.
A comforting book to a person of faith experiencing grief. And I salute Yancey's honesty - he asks the hard questions, even when he doesn't have answers.But that's also the problem. He doesn't have answers, other than giving up and choosing to trust God. This book isn't the reason I stopped believing, but it didn't give me strong reasons to keep believing. To be fair, neither did anyone else, and at least Yancey made an effort to look at reality.
I was like, "FINALLY! Someone with real feelings." Some people act like super Christians. It was refreshing to see a person write from the perspective of a questioning and afraid Christian. It really is okay to wonder sometimes.
This is one of the most powerful books I have been impacted by. I read it shortly after experiencing one of the most devastating losses in my life. I recommend this for anybody who has been, or is, hurting for some interesting perspectives on God's role/place in our lives.
Read it in one sitting. Excellent.
A contemporary re-visitation of the Problem of Pain. Well done. Yancy feels our pain, even if he doesn't have any particular help for it.Worth re-reading.
Fairly deep and balanced viewYancey pulls in multiple sources and types of sources to give the reader a good engagement of the issue of pain and suffering and faithful response. He avoids the easy trap of looking to the afterlife to explain it all away which is common in American Christianity today while still acknowledging the reality of this life's temporary nature. It is well balanced between giving some answers and recognizing that there are no easy answers.
This book was okay. There are some good points: about the purpose of physical pain from a biological perspective; how the church body can reach out to those who are suffering. Yancey talks about the hope of heaven after we leave this broken road, yet he does not clearly present the whole Gospel (of our need for redemption through Jesus and Him being the only means of obtaining eternal life with God in heaven).
Yancey is a fantastic author and really opens your mind to new ways of thinking about God. This book was very interesting, surprising, and hard to put down until I finished reading it. Then I went back and re-read the pages I had noted with something I wanted to remember. After that, I copied by hand those notes which spoke loudest to me.
The beginning of this book was great. Yancey uses the example of leprosy and how dangerous it is to us when we cannot feel pain at the start of the book. I found this fascinating and thought-provoking. But once he got past talking about leprosy and into personal accounts of suffering, I kind of lost interest.

Q: How do I add an XML attribute using DataContract I have a simple class I'm serializing.
 [DataContract(Name = "Test", Namespace = "")]
 public class Test
 {
    [DataMember(Order = 0, Name = "Text")]
    public string Text { get; set; }

    public Test() {}
 }

This kicks out the following XML:
<Test>
   <Text>Text here</Text>
</Test>

What I want is:
<Test>
   <Text type="MyType">Text here</Text>
</Test>

How do I add attributes the the XML elements?
Thanks in advance.

A: Not exactly an answer, but you can try to implement IXmlSerializable to fully control output xml format.

A: You can't add attributes to a DataContract. You either have to use a class that Implements ISerializable or use the .Net XmlSerializer.

A: I was able to achieve this by declaring an XElement which has attributes defined in it. Ex:
public XElement Text { get; set;}

A: Add the type attribute with [XMLAttribute] and the element value with [XmlText].
public class Test
{
    public text Text;

    public Test()
    {
        Text = new text();
    }

    [DataContract(Name = "Test", Namespace = "")]
    public class text
    {
        [XmlText]
        public string Text { get; set; }
        [XmlAttribute]
        public string type { get; set; }

Q: Загрузка Счетов и Актов в 1С из файлов, сгенерированных в PHP Имеется: 1С Предприятие 8.2 + Бухгалтерия 2.0
Нужно каким-нибудь образом загружать в 1Ску счета и акты.
В 1С не бум бум, но знаю, что наш бухгалтер все платежки из Сбербанк Бизнес-он-лайн выгружает в текстовый файл, который потом использует в 1С (через кнопку "Загрузить выписку").
Наверное как-то можно и счета и акты загружать в 1С через файл?
Скажите в какую сторону копать? Где искать решение? Сгенерировать нужные txt, excel, csv файлы я смогу на стороне php, важно найти решения загрузки их в 1С.

A: "Загрузить выписку" = Обработка на языке 1С, которая читает файлик, выгруженный из клиент-банка и создает соответствующий документ(-ы) в базе.
Поэтому, копать нужно в сторону 1С-ника, который напишет обработку для создания Актов/Счетов из файла с данными, который предоставите ему вы.
Второй вариант: смотреть на шлюз интеграции с 1С<->1С:Битрикс (CommerceML - суть XML с синтаксисом на русском), но "из-коробки" у Битрикса обработки расчитаны на 1С:Управление торговлей, а не Бухгалтерию.
Третий вариант: поискать готовые обработки загрузки на Инфостарте.
В любом случае, придется либо самому вникать в код обработок и быть готовым его править, либо искать 1С-ника.
