Pho King Fabulous better live up to its name, I think as I walk through the door of the Yonge and Eglinton-area Vietnamese restaurant.
First-time restauranteur Kevin Hoang, who's originally from Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon), spent more than 25 years working as an I.T. manager, but left that career to become his own boss. He tested out pho recipes on his family and worked with his daughter - who's in marketing and advertising - to come up with his memorable, if slightly explicit name.
And the pun seems to be working because when I visit just after lunchtime on a Thursday afternoon the place clears out a few packs of office workers. The large, narrow room is decorated with framed posters and there's space for both intimate dinner dates and large group meals.
I sit near the window and start off with a duo of spring rolls, both fresh and fried.
The fried pork-filled rolls ($5.25) have a thin and crispy exterior. I'm partial to the fresh rolls ($5.95) largely because the made-in-house peanut sauce makes up for the overwhelming amount of iceberg lettuce.
The Bún, or rice vermicelli, dishes are massive. I get one with grilled shrimp (tôm nướng, chả giò) and it also comes with pieces of fried spring rolls and pickled veg ($12.95).
Com, rice dishes, are similarly huge. My bò nướng, grilled beef, platter ($11.95) is prettily arranged with a pyramid of rice, thin slices of flavourful beef and a runny sunny side up egg.
The showstopper, of course, is the pho. I go the traditional route and try the fabulous pho ($8.50/$9.95). I slurp up rice noodles that come swimming in a hearty and beautifully spiced beef broth with rare eye round, well-done brisket, soft tendon, tripe and beef meatballs.
For non-red-meat-eaters there are chicken and seafood noodle soup options available - herbivores take not because there's even vegetarian pho on the menu.
The spicy vegetable noodle soup is a standout for me (rare beef makes me anxious). The smaller size ($8.75) is still hefty and comes packed with an assortment of veggies and thick vermicelli noodles. The broth has a nice kick to it, but it's not too fiery.
Dessert options are limited, but I cap off my meal with cà phê sữa đá, an iced Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk ($5). To savour it, I force myself to sip this sweet, caffeinated drink slowly.
Hoang and his team do a brisk take out service as well as customers walk in for an un-pho-gettable experience - and yes, Hoang admits that was another potential name for his midtown eatery.

Sierra West Review
Review of: Sierra West
Board Game Review by: :
Reviewed by: Andrew Smith
Last modified:Mar 24, 2020
We review Sierra West, an action programming and deck building board game published by Board and Dice. In Sierra West, players are trying to earn the most victory points by managing their resources.
Saddle up cowboys—we are headed west in search of gold. And bandits. And apples. And fishing. Sierra West allows us to pick from four different modes each game, slightly changing how we approach settling in the Old West. You'll hike up the mountain and pull your wagon on the trail in reach of the thing that all frontiersmen were looking for—victory points.
Sierra West is a deck-building and action programming game for up to 4 players. Although it's best with 2-3 to keep downtime to a minimum.
Gameplay Overview:
Regardless of your chosen module, the basics of Sierra West are unchanged. You'll start with a small deck of cards and draw three each round. These cards show different icons and you'll have to slot them into the top of your player board on your turn, effectively covering up some of the actions and assigning a cost to others based on where they fit.
Once you have the cards slotted, you'll move one of your two pioneer figures down their trail, taking the actions they reach. You can move either figure in any order, allowing some small amount of programming your actions in order for maximum efficiency.
Many of the action spaces give you one of the games many resources—wood, stone, food, and gold. You may also get movement points that can be spent moving your wagon down the trail or moving your other pioneer up the mountain of available cards that is created during setup (in a 7 Wonders Duel-like pyramid where only the top cards are face-up).
You'll slot your cards into the top of your player board and take the actions on the two trails.
The shovel action will then allow you to gain a face-up card if your pioneer is standing on it or, alternatively, purchase a cabin from the… cabin store I guess? When you take a card, it can either go into your discard pile to be shuffled in later or on top of your deck if you are sure you want it next round.
Once a pioneer has finished their path they can take the summit action on the top any of the three cards you've played. Most often you'll be spending resources to move up a track which will be worth points and award you a special bonus immediately. At the end of the game, your progress on these tracks is multiplied by the distance your wagon has traveled to add a significant number of points to your total.
Each module adds one card to players' starting decks and the pyramid of public cards is always unique to the module you are playing. In the Outlaws and Outposts module, for instance, you'll have cards that give you ammo and actions to try to shoot at the bandits which turn into victory points at the end of the game. All the modules are somewhat similar—they introduce a new resource and a new way to score points, but each with a small twist in how to accomplish them, giving the game a slightly different feeling.
The game ends once all the special cards from the mountain have been revealed. Everyone gets an additional turn to hopefully make use of their resources and then the player who accumulates the most points is the winner.
Moving your wagon along the board increases the multiplier for your position on the various resource tracks.
Game Experience:
Sierra West should be a game I love. The Old West setting appeals to me. Deckbuilding with multi-use cards. Modules that change the rules just enough that you can add 2 minutes of rules and get a different experience. Instead, for a number of reasons, Sierra West is a game that is… meh.
Without a doubt, the execution of the theme is the strongest positive here. Obviously, Sierra West is a eurogame. The theme could be almost anything. But the modules especially do a great job of giving the game some character. In the Gold Rush module, you'll roll a die to determine, when mining, how much gold you get and how much is just stone. When you shoot at bandits in the Outlaws module, you'll be using up ammo and rolling for hits. It's never too punishing to miss on the rolls, but it certainly is the most fun part of Sierra West.
As you move up the mountain, you can add the face-up cards to your deck.
Unfortunately, getting to that requires that you suffer through a clunky card programming mechanism. The idea of arranging the cards in a way that covers up some symbols and makes you pay resources for some actions is interesting. But the reality is that the actions on the cards are almost always largely the same that the decisions here are either trivial or obvious. Sometimes your only decision is if you'd rather get more stone or more wood. Well, which do you need to perform the summit action at the top of the card? The decisions on what to trade off just make themselves too often for it to be interesting enough to carry the game.
My absolute least-favorite part of Sierra West is the scoring tracks. There are three different tracks and you'll go up a certain track based on the summit actions you take. You might think there is some value in going all-in on one track, say, trying to race to the top of the red track at the expense of the brown one. Well, in reality, every step on every track is worth one point. The only incentive for getting to the very top of a track is that other players cannot max out a track after that. But they will go up a different track instead. It isn't like you can specialize your deck in a way that makes you better at one track over another.
You can build cabins to unlock special abilities.
But that won't stop your friends from taking forever trying to figure out the optimal card placement. There can be significant downtime, especially at higher player counts. Sierra West does give you some actions you can take off-turn which almost makes it worse. You have to pay a little bit of attention on other player's turns so you can potentially earn a bonus resource here and there.
Ultimately, the game gives a lot of permutations and choices that just fail at being engaging. Do you want to go up the gray track or red track? Who cares? Want to earn more food this round or stone? Doesn't matter. Even the cabins you can purchase, which can give you a special ability, you more often than not will just buy the cheap one to fill a spot so you don't lose points.
After trying all the modules—which are well executed in terms of theme and are easy to learn and teach once you have the basics down—I just wasn't interested enough in what Sierra West has going on to explore it any more. It's a fine euro game that does well with the theme, but isn't deep enough to keep anyone playing over and over.
Final Score: 2.5 Stars – Fun modules but too little depth to get to the table repeatedly.
• Modules are perfectly suited for the theme.
Misses:
• Collect resources, turn in resources, repeat.
• Lots of possible ways to play your cards can lead to long turns.
Action Programming
Andrew enjoys games with lots of brain-burning decisions and unique themes. Heavy euros tend to dominate his game nights.

AVG security has launched an online campaign to raise awareness of Facebook "clickjacking" amongst university students. According to AVG, students are most likely to be targeted by cybercriminals who change their statuses to anything from spam advertising to malicious code which can infect others' computers, or steal their login information.
According to Ofcom, only 15% of users aged 16-24 take the Web "seriously," and less than 10% are concerned with online security. Over half of the nearly 20,000 malicious pages found on the world's 50 most popular social networks can be found on Facebook. YouTube has over 7,000.
AVG's campaign seeks to make users aware of the possible dangers of social networking, as well as teach them about logging out properly, especially when using public, or shared, workstations.

Creating community, battling loneliness among LGBTQ seniors
Karen Fredriksen Goldsen Dennis Wise/U. of Washington
Research shows that LGBTQ older adults are at higher risk for many chronic medical conditions, yet are also resilient and proactive when it comes to taking care of their health.
But one burden for LGBTQ older adults is more subtle and pervasive: social isolation.
A health hazard of its own, loneliness has been linked to heart disease, high blood pressure, early onset of disability, greater risk of cognitive decline and premature mortality. And while accessing affordable, stable housing is an issue for the aging population at large, LGBTQ seniors are particularly vulnerable to difficulties securing housing and finding supportive communities, said Karen Fredriksen Goldsen , a University of Washington professor of social work and principal investigator of the landmark longitudinal study, Aging with Pride: National Health, Aging, and Sexuality/Gender Study.
Launched in 2010, the National Institute on Aging, recently awarded nearly $3 million to Aging with Pride for the next five years. Researchers are following over 2,400 LGBTQ adults, ranging in age from 50 to over 100, in every census division throughout the United States.
Aging with Pride, launched in 2010, has examined specific health conditions as well as subpopulations and behaviors that contribute to quality of life. Its data show that 55% of LGBTQ older adults live alone, and more than one-third are socially isolated.
In Seattle, the GenPride Center , founded by Fredriksen Goldsen, is working to combat that.
Located on Capitol Hill and established with the help of Fredriksen Goldsen's research, the GenPride Center provides classes, activities and services for LGBTQ seniors. It's the first multipurpose LGBTQ senior center in Seattle and King County.
"The goal of GenPride is to create community, to provide specialized services and connect LGBTQ older adults, their families and their communities to resources," Fredriksen Goldsen said. "It's a place for people to call home. It's a community center, and the goal is to be able to embrace LGBTQ elders and their allies."
"Social isolation can affect anyone of any generation," Fredriksen Goldsen added. But research focused on the LGBTQ community, which has historically experienced significant social exclusion, provides proven and practical pathways to building strong social networks for all generations experiencing debilitating loneliness, she said.
"It's really important for people to age in community, because they need to stay connected. They need to have a community that supports them and ensures they are connected to three or more people," Fredriksen Goldsen said. "Much of what we're learning here supports the well-being of all elders and is responsive to our increasingly diverse society."

New - Small – Self-Sufficient Data Logger PCE-VDL-24I with 2400Hz Sampling Rate
News and PR from PCE Instruments UK Ltd - Published 19 October 2018 PCE Instruments has used the experience of the recent years to develop a mobile, small and powerful data logger.
PCE Instruments has used the experience of the recent years to develop a mobile, small and powerful data logger. The development and production were guided exclusively by the suggestions, experiences and wishes of the customers. For all the branches of industry, a new data logger of the PCE-VDL series offers solutions for the detection of 3-axis acceleration, for example, upon shock or vibrations. The first two data loggers PCE-VDL 24I and PCE-VDL 16I are now conquering the market after intensive and successful work.
The PCE-VDL 16I has five integrated sensors for temperature, humidity, air pressure and light, as well as a 3-axis acceleration with a sampling rate of 1600 Hz.
The PCE-VDL 24I has a very fast sampling rate of 2400 Hz. Thus, the PCE-VDL 24I is perfect for recording the acceleration, for example, during machine inspection and preventive maintenance. Due to its very small design, the data logger can be mounted at almost any point on the machine and used for 3-axis acceleration. With the PCE-VDL 24I, it is possible to measure and store a precise reconstruction of the pulses coming from acceleration and impact force in all three axes. Especially in case of machines, motors and generators, it is advantageous to be able to record the snapshots of variable process steps and to document all the abnormalities. Thus, future problems can be detected in advance and resolved, for example, when the velocity of various speed ranges drops and critical machine errors occur. The new data logger can contribute to the preventive maintenance of machines and noticeably reduce high service expenses. Additional information can be used to limit the number of areas affected by large vibration amplitudes and retrofit damping systems.
The data logger PCE-VDL 24I cannot only be used for stationary machines, it can also be installed in moving objects. Particularly in the field of industry and transport, it is advantageous to determine impacts, shocks and accelerations of objects in all 3 axes. Due to the constant presence of gravitational acceleration and its graphical and numerical illustration in the measurement results, even small changes in position, displacements and generally tilting movements in a three-dimensional space can be detected due to a high sampling rate with the highest resolution.
With the data logger PCE-VDL 24I, effective machine monitoring is possible and can increase and prolong the performance and lifetime of equipment and machines.

Li/S and Li/air cells have attracted much recent attention as potential successors to lithium ion batteries because of their exceptionally high energy density compared with current battery technology. Although the two new battery systems have the potential to satisfy the demand for a significant leap forward in energy storage technology, there remain significant problems to be addressed, including poor cycle stability and low rate capability for practical applications. To address these issues, much research effort has been invested. In particular, graphene, with its high surface area combined with catalytic properties, is considered to be a key potential material to advance Li/S and Li/air battery technology. Indeed, recent research into graphene has led to substantial performance improvements of Li/S and Li/air batteries. In this review, we describe recent achievements in Li/S and Li/air cells that have been facilitated by the application of graphene, together with the electrochemical reaction mechanisms and major issues facing both Li/S and Li/air batteries. © The Royal Society of Chemistry.

Q: Inherited EKS Cluster, don't have access to run kubectl commands I have inherited an eks cluster but I do not know what IAM user is set up as the "master user" (the user that created the cluster always has system:master access). I have used the worker role to try to read/modify the aws-auth configmap, but the worker nodes don't seem to have access to that either.
sh-4.2$ kubectl get configmap -n kube-system
Error from server (Forbidden): configmaps is forbidden: User "system:node:ip-10-10-10-10.ec2.internal" cannot list resource "configmaps" in API group "" in the namespace "kube-system": No Object name found

What steps can I do externally without knowing the contents of aws-auth to gain access to this cluster again?

A: When you first create an Amazon EKS cluster on AWS, the IAM entity user or role that creates the cluster, is the only identity authorized to authenticate to it and manage the aws-auth ConfigMap, it's automatically granted system:masters permissions in the cluster's RBAC configuration for the cluster creator as you hve mentioned [1].
To identify who is the cluster creator, you can user the CloudTrail console on "Event History" you can filter by "Event name" and select "CreateCluster", it will list the event  used to create the cluster, there you will be able to see the identity (user or role) that was used to create the cluster.
In order to be able to authenticate, first you need to install the aws-iam-authenticator [2], then assume the cluster creator identity on your AWS-CLI, by default the AWS IAM Authenticator for Kubernetes will use the same credentials that are returned with the following command:
aws sts get-caller-identity
Lastly you need to create a kubeconfig file with the command below to be able to "kubectl get nodes" [3]:
aws eks --region region-code update-kubeconfig --name cluster_name
You can find more information about the authentication process on AWS EKS at the "Managing cluster authentication" documentation [4].
If you need to grant access to new users other than the cluster creator, you must add the role/user via ConfigMap logged in with an identity already authorized on the aws-auth ConfigMap [5].

BREAKING: Secret Service Records Validate Authenticity Of Hunter Biden Emails; Contents Of Laptop Confirm "Joe Biden Was Direct Beneficiary" Of His Son's Corrupt Deals
(Patriot Insider) – Peter Schweitzer, who currently serves as the president of the Government Accountability Institute, recently made an appearance on the Sean Hannity Show Monday evening where he chatted about his organization's investigation into their copy of Hunter Biden's laptop.
According to reports from Gateway Pundit, Schweitzer has now confirmed what we've all known since the moment those emails were made public, which is to say Joe Biden used his political influence to help make his family wealthy and that he also was a "direct beneficiary" of Hunter's foreign business deals made across the planet.
"We do have a copy, by the way, here at GAI, of the laptop and all the files. It confirms that Joe Biden was a direct beneficiary," Schweitzer said during the interview (listen here).
Along with the laptop, the institute was also able to get their hands on Hunter Biden's Secret Service travel records and then matched them up with the emails from the hard drive to validate their authenticity. Schweitzer then said that the records matched up, "Absolutely, 100 percent."
"Of course Hunter Biden hasn't denied it, but there is no question that the laptop emails that we have possession of are 100% accurate and correspond directly with existing material, and the information is devastating," he added.
The organization's investigation should be completed by the end of 2021. The final report is expected to reveal even more conclusive evidence of the treasonous acts carried out by Joe Biden and his corrupt family members, with folks claiming the fallout will be "devastating."
When asked how bad the findings would be for Biden on a scale of 1-10, he said, "The revelations, based on what we are in the middle of right now, on a scale of 1-10 – and you know Sean I'm pretty cautious about this stuff – frankly are an eleven. It's that bad."
Add these revelations to the audit results set to come out of Arizona and possibly other key battleground states, coupled with all of the poor handling of COVID and the vaccine, well, let's just say that Biden shouldn't be sticking around the White House for the next several years.
And yet, despite all of this evidence soon to come to light, Press Secretary Jen Psaki still maintains a defense for Biden when questioned about all of the business meetings and deals these emails point to.
For example, Psaki stated that Biden doesn't discuss business dealings with family members after she was asked about all of these allegations and the emails found on the laptop.
If that's the case what's with this photo? And that's not the only one (screen shots here and here).
"The president does not discuss business dealings with family members and otherwise I'm not going to respond to Rudy Giuliani's lawyer," Psaki went on to say.

A warrior writes his epitaph: 'I go second by second'
By Kathleen Martens
"I have a real battle on my hands now."
A Blackfoot activist, famous for fighting environmental injustice, is now battling a terminal illness in a Calgary hospice.
"I have Stage 4 cancer in the abdomen," said Milton Born With A Tooth in a telephone interview.
"My outlook right now is dire."
Born With A Tooth spent his life advocating for Indigenous rights but rose to prominence in 1990 after trying to divert the Oldman River in southern Alberta back to its natural course.
The Blackfoot never consented to a dam on the waterway and Born With A Tooth led the Lonefighter Society to stop it.
They were met by dozens of police officers who, at trial, said Born With A Tooth shot at them. He spent 4 ½ years in prison.
His niece Nicole Eshkakogan said her uncle, who was released from prison in 1995, penned a statement about the end of his life.
"Now that people are starting to find out what's wrong with me I want to be able to get ahead of the information so they hear it from the horse's mouth," he told APTN News from palliative care.
This statement was written by Milton Born With A Tooth and shared with APTN.
While Born With A Tooth was behind bars, his nation secured a judgment in their favour from the Supreme Court of Canada in 1991.
The federal and provincial governments paid compensation of $64 million and promised to consult on anything to do with the river in the future.
"We have been warning the newcomers since they came that whatever they took from the earth they should put back," Born With A Tooth said in A Warrior's Message – a powerful video posted to YouTube in February 2018.
"We have watched them put nothing back. So we giggle a little bit that now all of a sudden they're saying, 'Well, climate change and global warming. Now we should be concerned.'"
When asked where he got the plan to divert the river, Born With A Tooth told InterContinentalCry: "I got it from the beaver. If he can do it without money and a weapon, then I could do it too."
The activist put his body on the line, but now his body is wearing out.
"I did have an effect – my life. I was part of the news one time," he told APTN. "Now I go second by second."
He said he needs to focus his energy on his health now.
"Next week – I can't think that far," he added.
In the video, Born With A Tooth explained what it means to be a warrior and apply that traditional knowledge to modern environmental debate.
"We want to explain what the beaver has been telling us. We want to explain what the bears have been telling us…the eagle, the hawks, the hummingbirds," he said.
"We have observed nature from the beginning. But we don't want to be just patronized. That's not what we want. We want the freedom to be able to sit down and be part of the solution."
But, sadly, his part is coming to an end.
"Because nature – my boss – is unforgiving to the water, to the beaver, to the birds, and to us," he said.

Home Neighbors' Duty Don't Fight For a Pyrrhic Victory – Fight for Peace!
You are not here by accident. You have very real concerns. You have concerns about the land which you and your neighbor either now or soon will likely both be claiming. You have concerns about the many costs involved in a boundary dispute. You may even have concerns about what will happen if your matter isn't resolved as you hope it should.
Justice Smiles can help you address all of these concerns. If you are at the point where you just want someone to take your neighbor apart, Justice Smiles is probably not for you. But before you flip to the next potential attorney, please do yourself a favor and read to the end of this post.
After more than enough experience seeing how terrified both prospects and clients involved in boundary disputes become, Justice Smiles' managing attorney has concluded going to court is – almost always – the approach of two losers. Instead, Justice Smiles assists neighbors to peacefully resolve their boundary disputes and related issues.
The reason for this is simple. Regardless who you decide to hire to pursue a boundary dispute, if you want to take it to court, your course of action is a gamble. It's a gamble that very few people are able to take. What's more important, of those who are able to take this gamble, much fewer are crazy enough to actually do it.
Why? The gamble is incredibly expensive. First, ask yourself just how much you are willing to pay to fight. Think $5,000 is enough? That ought to suffice if you and your neighbor can work both quickly and peacefully to come to an agreement. But if there is disharmony, $5,000 is a completely inadequate amount. Think $10,000 is enough? For most that's just enough to get them far enough into the fray that they are starting to discover how miserable legal discovery can be. Unfortunately, usually by this time each party is either starting to throw good money after bad, or if they are smart enough to realize the folly of their battle and they come running for a fire fighter.
While Justice Smiles has and intends to continue to assist people when they realize they have got themselves burning in hell, this is not at all the ideal time to attempt to seek solutions. Just as with real fires, the emotional fires raging within your neighbors' hearts are fierce. What's more your fires have probably not completely subsided either. To make matters most complicated, your neighbors' attorney may very likely be adding fuel to the fire as someone who is also vested in the fight. Come to Justice Smiles at this time and it might only be another $10,000, but it could easily go up to $20,000 … if not more.
But you think to yourself, I have a great case which ought to be in the bag. OK, $20,000 might be enough to secure a win at summary judgment, but then the question is whether your neighbors will appeal. Do you have it in you to keep it up past that point?
Assume your case is going all the way to trial. Here note that going all the way will almost always be no less than 1 year. You live to 100, and that's still a pretty good chunk of your life. And what do you think that year or more is going to do to you emotionally?
For many if not most people it turns them into an emotional wreck. In some instances the emotional toll is so significant that it results in divorce! Now, continuing with hard costs, just figure you should be able to give your attorney $50,000 if not more for a fight to the finish at trial!
Do I have your attention? You here may attempt to say something like, my friend who is an attorney says I might be able to get reasonable attorney fees paid for by the other side. True! Just remember the operative terms are "might" and "reasonable." You may not know it now, but there is a very good chance that your attorney doesn't know much about real property law. That's not good. Superior Court judges understand criminal law. Superior Court judges understand divorce law. Superior Court judges understand probate. But, Superior Court judges who really understand real property law are few. So, you have put yourself at a disadvantage.
Alternatively, you decide to pay the big bucks to a real property bulldog attorney who can get in there and really do the job for you. Well, guess what. That real property bulldog has gone through a lot of people like you already. They are going to gradually "paper their file" with CYA letters, memos, and emails while they assist you to get deeper and deeper into the bog of litigation. That's how they get you to empty your pocket book. It's also how they keep bar complaints against them in abeyance.
Sure, your bulldog attorney will go in and when all is said and done, they have a much better chance of giving you your neighbors' heads on a platter. But, the shifting of legal fees is not complete remember – it's only for "reasonable attorney fees." How about collecting those fees? I hope you get the point. Though your attorney has been giving you the message all along, you somehow never picked up on the idea that you were going to be out some very big money.
Think of it this way. Is that strip of land – and the ability to do a victory lap around your yard in front of your neighbor – worth a new car; or the ability to send your child to college; or perhaps to start your own business? In other words, sure you MIGHT – and again it's always a "might" at court – got you your win. But, your win is a pyrrhic victory!
Is the fight worth it? — Hell no! It isn't worth it at all! It's not worth it to you nor to your neighbor.
Before you do something which is going to cost you thousands – perhaps tens of thousands – of dollars, please take Justice Smiles' Initial Assessment. The decision to hire someone to fight for your rights is not what you want. You want someone who is going to fight for peace.

Blogging the Watchdogs
On June 28, Paul Bremer gave a farewell speech as he stepped down as U.S. administrator in Iraq. Some Iraqis, at least, found the talk moving. Ali Fadhil, 34, a resident in pediatrics at a Baghdad hospital, watched it on television with a group in the cafeteria. He said Bremer's words choked up even a onetime supporter of April's Shiite uprising.
We have this information about the Bremer speech because Fadhil and his brothers are bloggers who file their own reports on the Internet (iraqthemodel.blogspot.com). I had never heard of "Iraq the Model," but Margie Wylie of Newhouse News Service produced a good story June 29 about Fadhil's blogging and Bremer's talk.
Word that Bremer actually gave the speech is something of a collector's item among American reporters. The Washington Post said Bremer left without giving a talk. The Los Angeles Times did worse. It missed the speech, then insulted Bremer for not giving it. A July 4 Times "news analysis" said: "L. Paul Bremer III, the civilian administrator for Iraq, left without even giving a final speech to the country — almost as if he were afraid to look in the eye the people he had ruled for more than a year." This is a good one-sentence example of what readers object to in much Iraq reporting — dubious or wrong information combined with a heavy load of attitude from the reporter.
Bloggers in the United States have been all over this story, quoting one another, leaning on The Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times for an apology or a correction. Last Thursday, the Times published a correction of sorts. No apology, though, and no regret for the zinger aimed at Bremer. The Times said that Bremer taped an address that was given to Iraqi broadcast media and "not publicized to the Western news media."
So nobody at the Los Angeles Times watches Iraqi TV or reads blogs? One blogger wrote: "Bremer's farewell address had been common knowledge among readers of Internet blogs since at least June 30," four days before the Times criticized Bremer for having given no speech. Apparently nobody at the Times reads the American press, either. Margie Wylie's Newhouse piece discussing the Iraqi reaction to the Bremer talk ran five days before the Times said the speech hadn't been given.
The blogging world cackled a bit about the mess the Los Angeles Times made, mostly because many bloggers think the most powerful big-time news outlets are becoming more and more partisan. The Times may be on its way to becoming Exhibit A for this belief. Bloggers regularly pummel the Times for fact-free negativity about Iraq.
One of the best and best-known bloggers, Mickey Kaus at slate.msn.com, tore apart one of the Times' front-page we-can't-win efforts - "Iraqi Insurgency Showing Signs of Momentum; Analysts and some U.S. commanders say it could be too late to reverse the wave of violence." Kaus pointed out that no U.S. commander said any such thing in the Times report. The allegation was left hanging out there with no factual support.
Another the-war-is-lost report was a front-page lead on July 6: "U.S. Response to Insurgency Called a Failure." It said "some top Bush administration officials" were criticizing the Pentagon for "failing to develop a coherent, winning strategy against the insurgency." But the alleged "top Bush administration officials" were AWOL in the Times, just like the absent "U.S. commanders." Kaus wrote: "Again, there are no quotes — even blind quotes, even blind paraphrased opinions — from 'top Bush administration officials' backing up the story's dramatic initial assertion."
The LA Times' negativity about Iraq seems to leak out fairly frequently. A June 29 report depicted the new prime minister, Ayad Allawi, as obscure and unpopular: "little-known to most Iraqis after spending more than three decades in exile … Many Iraqis have questioned the interim government's legitimacy."
But four days earlier, The Washington Post reported that a large majority of Iraqis knew very well who Allawi was and backed him with confidence. Citing a survey commissioned by U.S. officials in Iraq and conducted by an independent pollster, the Post said 70 percent of Iraqis were familiar with their new leaders and 73 percent approved of Allawi to head the new government. Allawi had been appearing in the Iraqi media frequently, visiting sites and generating optimism. The poll was not reported in the Los Angeles Times, possibly because the poll was positive about the war and the Times is not.
What's new about the press is that so many people who follow it with a critical eye now have an outlet to howl about inaccuracy and partisanship. The big media used to be able to shrug off critics like this. Now they can't.

Hi, Jenny. You are not alone! While this is a rare genetic disorder, the amount of info is growing. A great website based in the UK is Unique: http://www.rarechromo.org/html/home.asp They have some helpful materials on their website, including a downloadable pamphlet about this condition, it's symptoms and some things to look out for. They also maintain a confidential database of families affected by 1q21.1 micro duplication who volunteer to share their info with other families. We participated in that and revived a list of about 30 affected families and their contact info but none live close to us so I haven't reached out to anyone. If you read back through the posts and topics on this RareShare website that we're posting on here, you'll get a good sense of the variety of challenges that other families are dealing with--some relatively mild and others quite serious. There is also at least one major international research study going on right now (SIMONS VIP) that you may want to participate in. My family did, and we learned more from those three days than we've learned since our diagnosis--it was the first time our son had ever been seen by doctors and therapists that had encountered other patients with this rare condition. Our son is 4.5 years old now and has relatively mild complications that seem related to his genetic duplication -- he's had eye surgery for strabismus (crossed eyes), ear tubes, and some minor dysmorphia (small ears, small mouth, relatively short fingers). He's never been a good sleeper, but recently we've had great success with time-released melatonin -- and he's giving us full nights of sleep for the first time in his life. He's an incredibly affectionate and bright child -- full of life and energy. He had some significant language delays between ages 1-3 but he's almost entirely overcome those by now. He does not have autism, but he is currently being evaluated for ADHD. He also has some significant fine motor delays that we are working on through his preschool and occupational therapists with the school. He is quite intelligent and we hope he will be mainstreamed in regular education classes by the 1st or 2nd grade. By age, he's supposed to start kindergarten in the fall, but we may hold him out a year to work on "catching up" with fine motor and attention. Since he's a mid-August birthday, he'd likely be one of the youngest in his class if he started "on time." As I said earlier we've learned a lot about our son's particular challenges through the battery of tests and consultations we experienced by participating in the SIMONS VIP study. We had gross and fine motor skills evaluations, intelligence testing, psychological observations, autism testing. As we explore the likely diagnosis of ADHD, we're working with a team that includes a neurologist, a psychiatrist, and a social worker that works with entire families on behavioral strategies and therapies. If you'd like to ask any questions privately (not on a public board) feel free to email me at mwpotter at yahoo.com. Best of luck to ou and your family as you figure out what this diagnosis means for you all.
Lee started speech very early. He was a year and not communicating via crying or anything at all. He's speaking now. Was about 3 1/2 before fully speaking. He's in kindergarten now and will be 6 next month. He still gets speach. Never stopped. He has trouble with "wh" questions like what when why where etc. he also has trouble with sequencing stories, pronunciation and answering direct questions. He also gets OT for fine motor stuff like cutting, buttoning, zipping, writing, and copying shapes and symbols etc. he's having trouble drawing shapes still. Also letters. He also has sensory issues so he gets to OT for that as well.
The school district provides the extra support to Luke in the form of a speech therapist, an occupational therapist, and a resource specialist. Our school district is somewhat exceptional when it comes to kids with special needs. I believe that any child that demonstrates a need in more than one area of development is evaluated for an Individualized Education Plam (IEP). In California, the school district becomes the point of contact for developmental services as soon as the child turns 3 years old. The school district will provide (at no cost to the family) the specific therapies that will help he child to succeed in school. Of course, one is always free to pursue private therapists with one's own resources, which can be prohibitively expensive (one of our favorite speech therapists charges $200 per hour in private practice). We have never had to pursue private therapy because he qualifies for the school specialists. Luke has been receiving Speech and Occupational therapies at school since he was three. In the preschool years, he would simply visit the school for an hour or two each week to do small group therapy with the specialists. Prior to kindergarten he enrolled in a reverse mainstream preschool class that mixed kids of differing developmental needs with typical kids. At that point, his therapists would pull him and one or two others from the class each week and work with them in another classroom for 30 minutes. That's pretty much how it worked for him in Kinder and now in 1st grade. The only difference is rather than pulling him out of class, the therapists will sometimes be pushed into the classroom and conduct the therapeutic work with Luke and one or two other kids as a "station" in the room at a time when the entire class is rotating between stations. This has the effect of normalizing the experience and reducing anxiety on all the kids. Annually, my family meets with the team of teachers, therapists, and the school principal to discuss Luke's progress in meeting the specific learning objectives of his IEP. We evaluate what's working and strategies that we can use at home to reinforce what he does at school. He's shown steady improvement and I don't anticipate he'll be on an IEP much longer -- as he'll likely be in the normal range developmentally before he hits middle school. I understand that each school district is different, but I hope yours is as excellent as ours in its commitment and resources. I would ask your child's teacher (or the school principal) if you could get your child evaluated for special speech services and, if necessary, an IEP. Explain that you have a recommendation from the speech therapist to pursue such services in the classroom. That should be sufficient to begin the process of being tested with the school.
My son had psoriasis really bad on his scalp. It started out as cradle cap but I was told at a certain age it becomes psoriasis. Little clumps of his would come out of his scalp because of it and we battled it till he was 4 when his dr finally prescribed a medicated cream for it. It made his hair nasty greasy and gross but it really helped it go away and it hasn't reoccurred since.
Oh my MIL told me the patch on her scalp is just cradle cap. Derrr I didn't realise they could still get that aged nearly 3.
Hi, Thanks for your reply, I should get it checked out. I don't want to use a medicated shampoo, as she cries even with the no tears stuff!
Sorry forgot to say our little girl also has the characteristic facial features but this isn't causing any problems for her so far.
Hi I am good, thanks. Glad to have found this group, I have read up on all the research I could lay my hands on but reading about other peoples experience of parenting children with this duplication is always good. At the moment our little girl just has a speech delay. Any tips advice on this gratefully received.
My wife and I were tested and Luke's duplication is not hereditary (de novo). We have an older son who has not yet been tested (but will be soon through the Simons VIP research study) -- he shows no symptoms whatsoever and likely does not have the duplication. Of the 27 genes affected in Luke's duplication, 13 are OMIM genes -- all 27 genes are listed in his lab report. Luke's head size has always been in the normal range, and the only physical symptoms beyond his eye surgery that he has exhibited were noted by a developmental pediatrician who stated that Luke has a small mouth, ears with slightly excessive folding, and mildly short fingers. He does not have any trace of a heart murmur. Because Luke has had developmental difficulty with speech production, he had his vocal cords scoped when he was getting an ear tube removed. In addition to vocal nodules (just like Adele!) he had a very slight (and benign) webbing between his vocal cords -- as some people have an extra bit of skin between their fingers. That's the final symptom that prompted his ENT to refer us for genetic testing.
We haven't been in to discuss his results yet, but I want to go in there prepared to understand. So when you say 27 genes, are those listed on the lab report from the microarray? On my sons report it states that the duplicated region contains 9OMIM genes. I would love to compare these genes with you if you would be comfortable with that. Have you been tested and is Luke's hereditary? I keep finding indications that it could be from me or his father daily. (his father has a bigger head when we went to the neurosurgeon, I am prone to eye infections).Is Luke in EI? Does he have a speech delay? Is he in preschool? Im sorry, hopefully I am not being a pest!
Hi Nicky! Did you try this link? http://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/152298018180760/ Its a facebook group. You can also look for me personally. I have a page for Pediatric Stroke Awareness and it is named that. It has a profile picture of a boy with a riding helmet.
Ok lol. I got confused!!!
LOL. I am the mom. The boy with another mother I gave up for adoption. So there goes the theory on nurture above nature.
Good idea!! And I'm so sorry. I always assume it's the mom on these boards. The stroke one I belong to is 99% mom and 1% dad. I should really quit assuming haha. You're your childrens BIGGEST advocate as a parent. No one will ever advocate for a child like a loving parent will. Let us know how the appt goes!

I've been in Stockholm just over two weeks now and so far I'm absolutely loving it. The beautiful old city is everything I remembered it to be, except sunnier. Us newcomers have been extremely lucky with the weather – it has been 20+ degrees and sunny almost everyday since I arrived, which is a miracle, even for Swedish summer.
I have made a great group of friends and we've spent the first few weeks exploring the city, shopping at IKEA (primarily to eat their Swedish meatballs) and using absolutely all our willpower to not buy anything from any of the hundreds of beautiful clothes stores over here.
I recently sat a Swedish language placement test and will begin studying level 2 Swedish next Monday which I'm very excited about. Although the rest of my classes are yet to begin, I can tell that I will enjoy the subjects I have picked and will have a fun six months learning about life in Sweden.
For now, I'm making the most of Sweden's proximity to neighbouring countries, and have already booked travel to Russia, Finland, Estonia and Lapland for the Northern Lights in the next few months. So much to look forward to!

Coins of Alexander Map
The Coins of Alexander Map provides an easy to use tool for not only visually identifying mints in relation to other mints or cities, but also for filtering on these mints to find those with unique characteristics. For instance, you can filter on mints that stopped production upon Alexander's death, or those that did not start minting coins until after he died. You can find mints that struck coins in specific denominations or those that produced only a few different "types" (according to Martin Price's 1991 work).
This tool is also intended to provide a general overview of mints that struck coins in Alexander's name. You can find a particular mint from the "Mints" panel on the left side of the map and click on one of these mints to view a summary of information about that mint, as well as automatically zooming-in on that mint on the map. You can also click one of the mint markers on the map itself to open the summary for that particular mint.
The gallery below shows an example coin and summary information for each "type" according to Price. These types will be shown according to the filters applied. If no filters are applied, it will show all Price types by default. If you click on a mint from the Mint list or from the Map, the gallery will display only the types that belong to that mint.
This tool is still a work in progress and filters may be added or removed in the future. The core functionality will remain the same, and that is to provide a tool for analysing the mints of Alexander, and not the different types from each mint. I will be working on a tool specifically for filtering on the different Price types, similar to how PELLA currently works.
Map Filters
The map filters can be accessed by clicking on the "Filters" tab from the panel to the left of the map. There are two types of filters: dropdowns and inputs. The dropdown filters allow you to select one or more values at a time. Each value in a given dropdown filter are combined using an "OR" operator. For example, if you select "Abydus" and "Babylon" from the Mint(s) filter, the map will be filtered to show both the Abydus and Babylon mint. However, if you then set the Region(s) filter to "Egypt", there would be no results as two different dropdown filters combine together with an "AND" operator. Since neither Abydus or Babylon are located in Egypt, no mints would match the filters and the map would be empty.
The input filters can only accept one value per input field but each filter has two input fields, one to set the minimum value and one to set the maximum value. You can, however, just set one, you don't need to set both. For example, to view all mints that opened after 323 BC, you can set the first input field of Date Opened to 322 and not set the second input field (the max value). If you want to see all mints that opened specifically in 322 BC, set both input fields to 322.
To demonstrate how the logic would work using the examples above, the logic would read as follows:
Mint="Abydus OR Babylon" AND Region="Egypt" AND Date Opened="from 322 to []"
This would translate as: the mint is equal to Abydus or Babylon, and is in the region Egypt, and did not open until 322 BC or later. Currently it is not possible to have "OR" conditions between filters, such as Mint="Abydus" OR Region="Egypt".
Moving around the map: left click and drag with your mouse
Rotate: right click with your mouse and rotate by moving your mouse in a circular direction.
Zoom in/out on an area: hold down shift and draw an area on the map by left clicking with your mouse
Zoom in on a mint: click the marker for that mint to automatically zoom-in on that location
Zoom in/out on the cursor: scroll using your mouse scroll wheel
View 3D terrain: right click and move your mouse forwards or backwards to tilt the view. Alternatively, hold Ctrl/command on your keyboard and move your mouse.

Many of you remember this little doll Kristine from her newborn session last year. Here's a little before/after. Isn't it amazing how quickly she's grown? One year has gone by in a flash.
Kristine came in for a cake smash session to mark her 1st birthday. Needless to say, she needed a little encouragement about the cake! After she had a few samples she dug right in!
When Kristine was all done, we ran her a bubble bath so she could splash around and play. I think she enjoyed it more than the cake!


With fresh garlic and herbs, these heirloom tomato pickles are a tasty way to preserve and enjoy the bumper crop of tomatoes and fresh herbs from your garden!
Choose firm, ripe tomatoes for this recipe, and combine them with whichever herbs are ready to harvest, such as basil, oregano, dill, thyme or chives!
With fresh garlic and herbs, these pickles are a tasty way to preserve and enjoy a bounty of heirloom tomatoes.
Place tomato slices, garlic and other herbs into a clean, sterile 16-ounce glass jar until about 3/4 full.
Dissolve sea salt in water to create brine solution. Stir until salt is dissolved. Add vinegar, if using.
Add lemon juice to the mixture, if using.
Pour liquid in jar to cover tomatoes and herbs. Add more filtered water if necessary, so you only leave about an inch of room at the top.
Close the jar and leave on your counter for 3-7 days (or longer if you prefer) until naturally pickled by fermentation. Unless you are using an airlock lid, loosen the lid a little every two days to let built-up carbon dioxide out.
Or, if using vinegar for speed pickles, refrigerate for about an hour until chilled.

Tyrann Mathieu Is Why NFL Teams Will Continue To Take Shots On High-Risk Players
Posted on August 11, 2016, by Travis Pulver
Players with questionable characters are not new in the NFL, but with the Age of the Internet and social media well underway the flaws of our gridiron heroes have become more prominent than ever. In some cases, we can overlook them but it seems like more and more these days we are not.
Fans are growing tired of the wife beating, gun-toting, drug and alcohol-crazed ego maniacs. We don't want to see them on our team anymore, and we do not hesitate to let the team know it. However, for every Ray Rice, there is a Greg Hardy that seems to keep getting chance after chance in spite of the backlash.
Why is that? Why do teams like the Dallas Cowboys keep taking a chance on high-risk players?
Via ArizonaSports.com
Dallas didn't cut Joseph Randle after his arrest for shoplifting and the embarrassing video that went viral. They signed Greg Hardy. Even though Dez Bryant was suspended for breaking the rules in college, they took him with a first-round pick. There's also the Pacman Jones fiasco, Rolando McClain, and Randy Gregory.
Dallas is going to have a harder time winning games because they have three defensive starters suspended for violating the league's drug policy (Demarcus Lawrence, Rolando McClain, and Randy Gregory) and it is going to cost them another $250,000.
You would think the bad publicity and issues would be enough to convince the team to steer away from high-risk guys. But for some reason, the Cowboys have no intention of not taking a chance on similar guys in the future:
"Some of the suspensions we're dealing with are sicknesses, and they're truly sensitive situations," Cowboys executive Stephen Jones said (ESPN). "As we all know, it's a journey when you have those type of issues.
"I don't think you can take one wide swipe and say this is how we're going to do things. We'll continue to look at each individual [case] on its own merit. We won't have one particular policy. I do think these things come and go. Teams around the league are dealing with suspensions with major football players. That's part of our league. That's the business we're in. There's no exact science when you're dealing with human beings."
With all the negative publicity many of those guys have generated you would think they would be a little more adverse to taking chances—so why aren't they? The answer is twofold: (1) the Dallas Cowboys are the most valuable sports franchise in the world at $4 billion and (2) Tyrann Mathieu.
When it comes down to it, the NFL is just like any other business. If something affects the bottom line in a negative way, you stop doing it. While the bad boys haven't helped the Cowboys get back on top, they haven't hurt the bottom line either. As nice as it would be to have a winning club, Jerry Jones is probably just as happy to have such a valuable one.
So—ho does Tyrann Mathieu fit into this explanation?
Every team that has ever taken a chance on a high-risk player is hoping to get the next Tyrann Mathieu. As a legitimate Heisman candidate, a rarity for a defensive player, he quickly became one of the best defensive back in college, but his career came to an abrupt end when LSU head coach Les Miles dismissed him from the squad for violating team rules (failing multiple drug tests).
LSU head coach Les Miles would eventually call it the worst thing he has ever had to do as a coach, but if he didn't act, he would have risked losing the team and eventually his job. It certainly appeared to be the right decision when Mathieu was arrested a few months after his dismissal for drug possession.
Mathieu ended up entering the 2013 Draft where the Arizona Cardinals ended up taking him in the third round in spite of the risks associated with taking him. Before his dismissal, he appeared to be well on his way to being a top-10 pick but instead didn't go until the 69th.
Fast forward a few years and a pair of knee injuries and the Cardinals still thought high enough of him to sign him to a record-setting extension, five-years, $62.5 million.
High-risk players can cause media flaps when they are picked or signed, but from a practical standpoint, they don't cost much. Mathieu has made less than $1 million in each of the last three years. That's peanuts compared to what most players make in the NFL and well-worth what he gave the Cardinals on the field.
If that is what it cost to find someone that could become one of the best in the business, Dallas and every other team in the NFL will continue to sign high-risk players until the police haul them away in handcuffs and lock them up.

Dissent Isn't Just an Option. It's Everyone's Obligation.
This interview with Robin D. Richards, chief of the CareerArc Group, which connects employers with job seekers, was conducted and condensed by Adam Bryant.
Q. Were you an entrepreneur as a kid?
A. Yes. I grew up just north of Detroit. We were low-middle class, and we lived in a very diverse neighborhood — ethnically, religiously, economically. At a very early age, I kept noticing who lived in the big houses, and what their families did. The first thing that struck me was education. All the people who did well had a good education, so I became the first person in my family to go to college. The second thing I observed is that these people owned their own businesses. So at a really young age I said, I'm going to get a college education and own my own business.
Q. How young?

A RELATIONSHIP POWERED BY DEPENDABILITY
Since 2003, Maytag has supported the mission of Boys & Girls Clubs of America to inspire youth to pursue greatness. We're proud to recognize their spirit of dependability and all their reliable mentors.

HONORING LEADERS WHO CHANGE LIVES
Maytag celebrates exceptional BGCA mentors for their positive lifetime impact on kids and teens by honoring them with a Maytag Dependable Leader Award and a $20,000 grant to support their local Club.
Award winners include former president Jimmy Carter. To date, Maytag has honored 114 extraordinary leaders who have helped thousands of kids and teens achieve their full potential.
RECIPIENT SPOTLIGHT
Mike Harris received the Maytag Dependable Leadership Award in 2016 and used his grant to help establish the Pathways to Policing program at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Grand Rapids Seidman Center. The program encourages positive interactions with police and introduces youth to law enforcement careers.
CELEBRATING THE SPIRIT OF DEPENDABILITY
On Maytag brand's annual Day of Dependability, Maytag employees from all over the country volunteer at Boys & Girls Clubs in their communities to make an impact through the power of positive leadership.
From serving 200 kids a Thanksgiving meal or just being there to help with homework, over 6,000 team members turn 3 volunteer days into brighter futures at local Clubs. Maytag believes when kids and teens are inspired to dream big by dependable mentors, they can achieve anything.
FEEL GOOD FRIDGE
According to Feeding America, one in six children experience food insecurity. And Maytag knows dependability starts with ensuring that all Americans have access to their most basic needs, especially nourishing food. That's why Maytag is working with Boys & Girls Club of America to launch the Feel Good Fridge program giving kids and families a food source they can depend on. The Maytag® Feel Good Fridge is a refrigerator that will be stocked with healthy food for club members and their families to take when in-need.
Maytag is kicking off the program with 10 refrigerators in clubs in Los Angeles, New York, Detroit and Grand Rapids and plans to install 20 more by early 2022. Each refrigerator comes with a small grant to get the club started in filling the fridge with nourishing food, and the clubs will use local relationships and community support to continue to keep the fridges full. Each Maytag® Feel Good Fridge will help provide healthy food to an average of 130 Club kids per day.*
*based on ten Maytag® Feel Good Fridges installed in Sept. 2021

Super Smartwatches and Wearables
About Us – Superwatches
Tag Heuer Connected Modular 41
By Scott Anfield. Updated: Jan 18, 2021
Tag Heuer's Connected Modular 41 is a smartwatch which blends cutting edge Google technology with all the craftsmanship and design of a luxury watch – and a price tag to match. Let's take a closer look at this stylish and dynamic Wear OS smartwatch.
The Tag Heuer Connected Modular 41 comes hot on the heels of the brand's Connected Modular 45. Introduced to the market just a year after its sibling, the Connected Modular 41 brings a number of major improvements.
The pixel density is higher, the RAM is doubled and the onboard storage has been increased by 100%. It's also 4mm smaller than its big brother making it a great choice for those with slim wrists, but the Modular elements remain the same as the 45 – the lugs and strap are removable and interchangeable to suit your style and mood.
TAG Heuer Connected Modular 41 Men's Smartwatch SBF818000.11FT8031
Check Amazon Price
This smartwatch comes with a host of features including NFC for making payments and GPS for finding your way. Unfortunately heart rate monitoring isn't included – a major drawback for fitness fans looking for a watch that can do it all. This device does have a powerful Intel powered Atom processor, however, rather than the Qualcomm hardware used by most of its rivals.
The RAM and onboard storage are pretty impressive with this model – you get 8GB of memory and 1GB of RAM and that means you have plenty of space for storage on your wrist. You also have the option to connect to your Bluetooth headphones if you want to play music on the go.
Perhaps the top feature of this watch, however, lies in its AMOLED sapphire crystal display that resists scratching while offering excellent resolution for even cleaner visuals. This model has had a brightness boost, making it easier to see the screen even in direct sunlight.
The founding principle of the Apple Watch was its customisation, and this watch has taken that idea and really run with it. T he Modular 41 has a more subtle appearance than larger smartwatches, but it certainly doesn't compromise on style. You can customise the lugs, bezel and band of this watch, choosing from a variety of accessories so you can alter your watch to suit your mood or outfit. And even though it's made up of several components, the watch remains solid and with a high-quality finish.
If fitness tracking is your number one reason for investing in a smartwatch, this might not be the one for you. It does boast a number of fitness tracking features, but not as many as some of its rivals.
Google Fit and Fit Workout are pre-installed on this device, so you can quickly track daily step counts and log a wide range of workouts from cycling and running to other more niche activities including meditation. Google Fit is even capable of counting your reps accurately, which could be a bonus for gym bunnies. You'll also find that there are daily challenges for squats, sit-ups and press-ups with a choice of three difficulty levels. It's also possible to install other third-party exercise apps.
What Are The Main Advantages?
A Wear OS operating system
A range of faces and straps are available for customisation
Works seamlessly with both Apple and Android devices
Pre-installed fitness apps
Ability to install third-party fitness apps
What Are The Main Disadvantages?
345mAh battery – the short battery life is a major disadvantage for this smartwatch
No heart rate monitoring
TAG Heuer Connected Modular 45 Men's Watch SBF8A8001.11FT6076
This smartwatch has two major competitors, the biggest being the Apple Watch. Apple has been leading the field in the smartwatch industry for years now, and for those who have iPhones, there simply isn't any other choice. The ease of linking between the watch and smartphone together with some unique functions means that Apple users can enjoy a seamless and outstanding experience.
The other major competitor is the Garmin Fenix 6x Pro Solar, an extremely solid device designed for those who are serious about sports and an active lifestyle. Its premium finishes make it a rival luxury brand and the sports tracking, battery performance and connectivity can all outstrip this Tag Heuer watch.
If you're looking for a luxury, high-quality watch which is comfortable and stylish to wear, the Tag Heuer Connected Modular 41 is a great choice. The customisability of this device is a major plus point, but its short battery life and lack of heartrate monitor needs to be borne in mind. This is an expensive watch, so if your primary requirement is fitness tracking, a Garmin or Apple watch might be better for you. On the other hand, if you're keen for a premium device with stunning looks, this Connected Modular 41 is hard to beat.
How Do We Test Smartwatches?
1. We gauge its comfort and design. If it isn't comfortable as well as stylish, it won't rate too highly.
2. We test its fitness tracking functions. We put every function and sensor through its paces, from GPS tracking to step counts.
3. We install apps then test them out to ensure that the memory and processor power is up to scratch.
4. If there is inbuilt LTE, we'll test the call quality to ensure that it'll work perfectly well even if your smartphone isn't around.
5. We check out the watch's battery life using a range of everyday scenarios. We test the battery life while using apps, receiving notifications and working out to see how long it lasts before requiring a recharge.
With all that information to hand, we can then give you a clear idea of the pros and cons of each device.

The judicial officers of the Supreme Court of Victoria are its judges, associate judges and judicial registrars. For a current list of our judiciary see our Judicial Organisational Chart.
The past judges and associate judges page lists all past judicial officers dating back to 1852.
Judges preside over court proceedings, either alone, as part of a panel or with a jury. Most importantly they are impartial decision-makers in the pursuit of justice. The judge provides an independent and impartial assessment of the facts and how the law applies to those facts. Their role is to interpret the law, assess the evidence and control how hearings and trials are conducted.
How judges are appointed
Supreme Court judges are appointed by the Governor of Victoria. To be eligible for appointment as a judge of the Supreme Court, a person must be, or have been:
a judge of the High Court of Australia, or of a Court created by the Parliament of the Commonwealth
a judge of a court in Victoria or another state or territory
admitted to legal practice in Victoria or another state or territory for five years or more.
Judges must retire when they reach the age of 70.
View the list of current Supreme Court judges.
Reserve judges
Reserve judges are either retired or interstate judges who have been appointed as reserve judges of the Supreme Court under the Constitution Act 1975. Appointments are made by the Governor in Council for a period of five years with engagements to undertake the duties of a judge of the Court made by the Chief Justice during that period.
Associate judges generally hear and determine civil disputes before and after trial.
They are also responsible for much of the preparatory work in the civil jurisdiction that otherwise would be carried out by a judge.
You can learn more about the role and judicial function of the Supreme Court's associate judges including how they are appointed.
Judicial registrars assist the judges and associate judges in managing their workload in an efficient way, without compromising either the independence or quality of judicial decision making.
Judicial registrars are appointed by the Governor in Council on the recommendation of the Attorney-General.
Registrar of Criminal Appeals
The registrar 's role is to work with the parties to prepare an appeal for hearing before judges of the Court of Appeal . The registrar of the Court of Appeal will often hear and determine various applications relating to an appeal, prior to the hearing of the actual appeal.
Registrar of the Court of Appeal
The registrar of the Court of Appeal also has general responsibility for the registry of the Court of Appeal; constant liaison with the President and frequent contact with the other judges of the Court of Appeal; and general responsibility for all matters arising in the civil jurisdiction of the Court of Appeal, including applications to an associate judge.

Political scandals in the US continued to be a prevalent trend, with markets also potentially gearing up for a trade war brought on by the Trump administration. For GAIN Capital's part, the latest reading is a slight retreat off of February, which had scored to a 2018 high in terms of retail metrics.
In particular, March 2018's retail OTC trading volume came in at $262.8 billion, down 7.3 percent month-over-month from $283.5 billion in February 2018. The decline, while in the single digits, is still noticeably higher than almost all readings in 2017. On a yearly basis, March 2018 outperformed its 2017 counterpart ($239.2 billion) by a margin of 9.8 percent.
In terms of its average daily OTC volume, GAIN Capital reported $11.9 billion per day in March 2018, dropping by 16.2 percent from $14.2 billion per day in February 2017. The figure was higher by 14.4 percent relative to March 2017.
Furthermore, the average number of OTC accounts at GAIN Capital also saw a slight retreat, pulling back marginally to 131,764 accounts in March 2018 from 133,545 accounts last month. This marks a 1.3 percent movement compared to the previous month, along with a year-over-year fall of 3.7 percent compared with 136,829 accounts in March 2017.
Institutional space also sees decline
GAIN Capital's movement in its institutional volumes was more muted, virtually unchanged from its February 2018 reading. March 2018 saw an ECN volume reported at $317.8 billion, down 1.5 percent from $322.7 billion last month. The figure is still 17.0 percent higher on an annual basis, with 2018 continuing to outperform 2017 in the institutional segment after Q1.
Moreover, ECN average daily volume came in at $14.4 billion per day in March 2018, down from $16.1 billion in November, or 10.6 percent. On a yearly basis, the latest figure was higher by 22.0 percent relative to its March 2017 counterpart.
Of note, swap dealer volume did experience some growth in March 2018. GAIN's swap dealer volume was reported at $56.8 billion, rising 5.6 percent month-over-month off of $53.8 billion in February 2018.
