I have a WW2 Japanese Arisaka type 38 flip sites still have arms really good condition?
I like to sell it but I dont know where to get it appraised..
A gun store in the US would give you an estimate.
Learn to write English first, before worrying about Japanese!
Perhaps find a big gun collector and talk to him as likely he will be able to give you a fair idea of its worth. Don't tell him you are thinking of selling as likely he will lower his estimate so he can buy it cheaper, so just say you want to know for your own knowledge and maybe for insurance purposes.

[![CI Status](https://img.shields.io/badge/Swift-3.0-orange.svg)](https://swift.org)

SeamgenKit provides a set of extension methods and helper classes for making iOS development using Swift easier.

Other great Cocoapods:

* [SwiftDate](https://cocoapods.org/pods/SwiftDate) - Date utilities

## Requirements

iOS 9.3 or later.

## Installation

SeamgenKit is available through [CocoaPods](http://cocoapods.org). To install
it, simply add the following line to your Podfile:

```ruby
pod 'SeamgenKit', :git => 'https://github.com/seamgen/SeamgenKit-Swift.git'
```

## Usage

### ConfigurableOnInit(WithFrame) Protocol

Objects confroming to this protocol can be customized at initialization time.  The only requirements is that a class must implement `init()` or `init(frame: CGRect)`.  UIView and NSObject conform to this protocol by default.

```swift
let label = UILabel(frame: .zero) {
	$0.text = "Hello World"
	$0.textAlignment = .center
}

let stackView = UIStackView {
    $0.addArrangedSubview(label)
}
```

### EmptyValueRepresentable Protocol

Simplifies working with Optionals in swift.

```swift
// Default empty values
let emptyArray: [Double]? = .emptyValue      // []
let emptyDict: [String: Int]? = .emptyValue  // [:]
let emptySet: Set<Int>? = .emptyValue        // Set([])
let emptyString: String? = .emptyValue       // ""

// Check if an object is empty
emptyArray?.isEmpty     // true
emptyDict?.isEmpty      // true
emptySet?.isEmpty       // true
emptyString?.isEmpty    // true

// Return nil if the object is empty
let result = emptyString?.nilIfEmpty() // returns nil

// Return an empty value if the object is nil
let nilString: String? = nil
let emptyResult = nilString.valueOrEmpty    // returns ""
```

### ImageAdjustableButton

A UIButton subclass that allows positioning of the image view relative to the title label.

![Image](./SeamgenKit/Assets/adjustable_image_button.png)

### APNSToken

A wrapper for converting a remote notification device token to a string representation:

```swift
class AppDelegate {
	func application(_ application: UIApplication, didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken deviceToken: Data) {
		let token = APNSToken(deviceToken)
		print(token.string) // prints "790bc691 eea10194 d80cea25 49d2d8ec 0fb439d1 54242532 db4edecf 97f9e092"
		print(token.data) // prints "32 bytes"
 	}
 }

```

### Bool

Convert to `String` and `Int` values:

```swift
// To Int:
true.intValue	// returns 1
false.intValue	// returns 0

// To String:
true.stringValue()	// returns "true"
false.stringValue()	// returns "false"

// in a specific format:
true.stringValue(as: .yesNo)	// returns "yes"
false.stringValue(as: .yN)	// returns "n"
```

Or specify your own formats:

```swift
extension BoolStringFormatter {
	/// Custom "yep" or "nope" formatter.
	static let yepNope = BoolStringFormatter(t: "yep", f: "nope")
}

true.stringValue(as: .yepNope)	// returns "yep"
false.stringValue(as: .yepNope)	// returns "nope"
```

### CGSize

Scale sizes while maintaing aspect ratio:

```swift
let size = CGSize(width: 100, height: 50)

let fit = size.scaledTo(fit: CGSize(width: 50, height: 50)) // returns { w: 50, h: 25 }
let fill = size.scaledTo(fill: CGSize(width: 100, height: 100) // returns { w: 200, h: 100 }
```

### DispatchTime

Simplify delayed async dispatch by making `DispatchTime` conform to `ExpressibleByIntegerLiteral` and `ExpressibleByFloatLiteral`

```swift
DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: 5) { ... } // Executes after 5 seconds.
```

### Floating Point

Convert any `FloatingPoint` value to and from radians and degrees:

```Swift
let radians = 90.0.degreesToRadians // returns 1.5707
let degrees = Double.pi.radiansToDegrees // returns 180
```

### MKMapSnapshot

Generate a map image with a pin annotation at a given coordinate:

```swift
let snapshot = MKMapSnapshot(...)
let coord = CLLocationCoordinate2D(33.132, -117.123)

// Creats the image from the snapshot with the pin annotation at the coordinate.
let image = snapshot.imageWithAnnotation(atCoordinate: coord)
```

### NSLayoutConstraint

Constants have been defined for `UILayoutPriority`:

```swift
/// Use this:
constraint.priority = .high

// instead of:
constraint.priority = UILayoutPriorityDefaultHigh
```

Adjust the priority of a constraint inline using `withPriority(_:)`:

```swift
button.leftAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.leftAnchor).withPriority(.required).isActive = true
```

Activate a constraint inline using `activated()`:

```swift
// Assigns and activates the constraint simultaneously:
self.constraint = button.leftAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.leftAnchor).activated()

// instad of:
let constraint = button.leftAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.leftAnchor)
constraint.isActive = true
self.constraint = constraint
```

### String

Value conversion from `String` to `Int`, `Double`, `Float`:

```swift
"100".intValue	// returns 100
"Foo".intValue	// returns 0
"".intValue		// returns 0
```

and to `Bool`.  Any number greater than 0 will return true.

```swift
// Numbers > 0 return true.
"0".boolValue 	// returns false
"1".boolValue 	// returns true
"5".boolValue 	// returns true

// Case insensitive
"TRue".boolValue 	// returns true
"true".boolValue 	// returns true
"yes".boolValue		// returns true
"y".boolValue 		// returns true

// All other values return false.
```

Checking the contents of the string:

```swift
"Abc123".containsNumbers 	// returns true
"Abc123".containsLetters 	// returns true
"Abc123".isAlphaNumeric		// returns true

"Abc123".isNumeric		// returns false
"Abc123".isAlphabetic	// returns false

"123".isNumeric		// returns true
"Abc".isAlphabetic	// returns true

"Abc123".numbers	// returns "123"

let set = CharacterSet(charactersIn: "bc")
"Abc123".includingCharactersIn(set)	// returns "bc"
```

### Table/Collection Views

There are convenience methods on `UITableView` and `UICollectionView` that simplify registration and dequeueing of cells and supplementary views using the `ReusableView` protocol.

The old way:

```swift
class Cell: UITableViewCell { }
class Header: UITableViewHeaderFooterView { }

tableView.register(Cell.self, forCellReuseIdentifier: "cell")
tableView.register(Header.self, forHeaderFooterViewReuseIdentifier: "header")

let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "cell", for: indexPath) as! Cell
let header = tableView.dequeueReusableHeaderFooterView(withIdentifier: "header") as! Header
```

The easier way:

```swift
// Conform to ReusableView
class Cell: UITableViewCell, ReusableView { }
class Header: UITableViewHeaderFooterView, ReusableView { }

tableView.register(Cell)
tableView.register(Header)

let cell: Cell = tableView.dequeueCell(for: indexPath)
let header: Header = tableView.dequeueView()
```

### TouchID

Use `UIDevice.current` to access TouchID helper methods.

To check if TouchID is available:

```swift
let result = UIDevice.current.isTouchIDAvailable
```

To prompt for TouchID authentication:

```swift
import LocalAuthentication

UIDevice.current.authenticateWithTouchID("Log In") { success, error in
    if let error = error as? LAError {
        switch error.code {
        case .userCancel:
   		     // Handle user cancellation.
            break
        default:
	        // Handle other error types.
            break
        }
    }

    // Handle success
}
```

### UIApplication

Provides a number of properties for getting information about the current application:

```swift
UIApplication.shared.displayName	// "My Great App"
UIApplication.shared.version	// "1.0"
UIApplication.shared.buildNumber	// "33"
UIApplication.shared.bundleIdentifier	// "com.seamgen.myGreatApp"

UIApplication.shared.isATSEnabled
// true if ATS has not been explicitly disable in the info.plist
```

And provides an easy way to launch the Settings.app by calling:

```swift
UIApplication.shared.launchSettingsApp()
```

### UIActivityIndicatorView

Convenience property for starting/stopping animation:

```swift
let loadingIndicator = UIActivityIndicatorView()

// Use:
loadingIndicator.animate = self.isLoading

// Instead of:
if self.isLoading {
	loadingIndicator.startAnimating()
} else {
	loadingIndicator.stopAnimating()
}
```

### UIButton

Convenience properties for setting common values for `UIControlState.normal`:

```swift
let button = UIButton()
button.title = "Submit"
button.titleColor = .red
button.attributedTitle = NSAttributedString(...)
button.image = UIImage(...)
```

### UIColor

Create colors from RGBA values or HEX strings:

```swift
let rgbColor = UIColor(r: 255, g: 255, b: 255, alpha: 1.0)
let hexColor = UIColor(hex: "#FFF")
let hexColor = UIColor(hex: "#FF00FF") // RGB
let hexColor = UIColor(hex: "#FF00FF55") // RGBA
```

### UIImage

Create a UIImage from a color:

```swift
let image = UIImage(color: .red) // returns a 1x1 pixel red image.
let image = UIImage(color: .red, size: CGSize(width: 100, height: 100)) // returns a 100x100

// More options:
let image = UIImage(color: .red,
					borderColor: .blue, borderWidth: 2,
					cornerRadius: 8, corners: nil,
					size: CGSize(width: 100, height: 100))
```

Save an image to disk (as a JPEG)

```swift
let image = UIImage(...)
let url = URL(...)

image.writeJPEG(to: url)
```

Scaling

```swift
let image = UIImage(...)
let newSize = CGSize(width: 100, height: 100)

// Scale the image to 100x100 without maintaining the aspect ratio.
image.scaledTo(size: newSize)

// Produce an image where both dimensions are < 100.  Aspect is maintained.
image.scaledTo(fitSize: newSize)

// Produce an image where the smallest dimension is == 100.  Aspect is maintained.
image.scaledTo(fillSize: newSize)
```

Rotation

```swift
let image = UIImage(...)

image.rotated(.left) // Rotates the image -90°
image.rotated(.right) // Rotates the image 90°
image.rotated(.byDegrees(30)) // Rotates the image 30°
image.rotated(.byRadians(.pi)) // Rotates the image 180°
```

Fill an image with a color.  This method uses the alpha channel as a mask.  The result is similar to tinting a template image in a `UIImageView`.

```swift
let image = UIImage(...)
image.filled(with: .red)
```

### UIView / UIStack View

Add multiple subviews in one line of code:

```swift
let v1 = UIView()
let v2 = UIView()
let v3 = UIView()
let viewsToAdd = [v1, v2, v3]

let view = UIView()
let stack = UIStackView()

// Variadic:
view.addSubviews(v1, v2, v3)
stack.addArrangedSubviews(v1, v2, v3)

// or via an array:
view.addSubviews(viewsToAdd)
stack.addArrangedSubviews(viewsToAdd)
```

### UIViewController / Alerts

Methods for presenting basic alerts to the user:

```swift
// Display a localized error message to the user with an 'OK' button:
self.presentAlert(withError: error)
self.presentAlert(withError: error, title: "Uh-oh", defaultButtonTitle: "Got It")

// Display a generic alert with a title, message, and button:
self.presentAlert(withTitle: "Account Deleted")
self.presentAlert(withTitle: "Account Deleted", message: "Your account has been deleted.")
self.presentAlert(withTitle: "Account Deleted", message: "Your account has been deleted.", defaultButtonTitle: "OK")

// Present an alert that executes an action when dismissed:
self.presentAlert(withTitle: "Account Deleted", message: nil, defaultButtonTitle: nil) {
	// Handle OK button tapped.
}
```

Or present a "Not Implemented" alert to the user if work has not been completed:

```swift
// Generic alert:
self.presentNotImplementedAlert()

// More information:
self.presentNotImplementedAlert("Will be implemented in JIRA-12")
```

### URL

Methods for creating URLs that launch the native OS applications for phone, email, sms, and maps:

```swift
// Dial a phone number:
if let url = URL(phoneCallTo: "760-555-1212")  {
	UIApplication.shared.openURL(url)	// Initiates a phone call.
}

// Compose an Email
if let url = URL(emailTo: "devs@seamgen.com", subject: "SeamgenKit", body: nil, cc: nil) {
	UIApplication.shared.openURL(url) // Launches Mail.app
}

// Compose an SMS
if let url = URL(smsTo: "760-555-1212") {
	UIApplication.shared.openURL(url) // Launches Messages.app
}
```

Or use the `MapURLBuilder` for launching the native Maps app:

```swift
// View an address:
let url = MapURLBuilder(address: "123 Fake Street San Diego CA, 92101").url

// Execute a search query:
let url = MapURLBuilder(searchFor: "Italian Food").url

// Mark a location with a pin:
let coord = CLLocationCoordinate2D(33.132, -117.123)
let url = MapURLBuilder(pinAt: coord, label: "Seamgen Office"

// Get directions from your current location:
let url = MapURLBuilder(directionsTo: "123 Fake Street", from: nil, transportType: .drive).url
```

`UIApplication` also has convenience methods for creating and opening these URLs immediately:

```swift
UIApplication.shared.dial("760-555-1212")
UIApplication.shared.composeSMS(to: "760-555-1212")
UIApplication.composeEmail(to: "devs@seamgen.com")
```

Spring into Los Angeles Events This Weekend Just for You!
You are at:Home»Spring into Los Angeles Events This Weekend Just for You!
So you've lived in LA longer than a common law marriage and you're still sitting on the couch when the weekend rolls around, watching your DVR'ed shows? Time to stock the trunk with water and a pair of sneakers because there's too much going on in the city of angels! Whether you're a tourist or a long time resident, there is no shortage of Los Angeles Events This Weekend.
Why not start at the original Farmer's Market located at 3rd and Fairfax? Sample a variety of fresh and organic fare and buy greens for dinner, then head a few miles south and visit LACMA. Hungry for lunch on a budget? Just across the street there's a string of affordable food trucks. If you're hankering for some live music, there's free jazz every Saturday in LACMA's courtyard space starting at 5pm.
Maybe you need to do nothing at all – and are hoping for whatever you do in California this weekend to be as low impact as possible. If reading a good book sounds like an ideal afternoon, head to Venice Beach and plop your chair in the sand. The drum circle is a worthy sight, as well as the historic Windward Circle, where the architecture of Abbott Kinney's original boardwalk and remnants of his world famous pier still stand today.
If you're looking for ideas for fun this weekend, always check in at Weekend Roundup, SoCalPulse's regularly updated listing of the hottest happenings going on in Los Angeles for the weekend. We feature the weekend's hottest concerts, the best places to eat, museum openings, film fests, craft beer fests and wine tastings. We'll tell you everything you need to know, including price, time, location, a link for more info, and most importantly whether it's worth your time. Don't be left out of what's happening in this amazing city. Be in the know with an inside connection to the pulse of Los Angeles.
Still figuring out what to do on a sunny day in LA? Take a beautiful walk through the Cherry Blossoms at Descanso Gardens, get your groove on at Conga Room Saturdays, or celebrate Wikipedia Day in LA at the Ace Hotel in Downtown. Los Angeles events this weekend are endless! Well, just as any other weekend. Perhaps you could score some free tickets for the Dodgers opening day as they go head to head with the San Francisco Giants. But if those LA baseball tickets are too high to score, you could always enjoy a nice picnic at Angels Point in Elysian Park which overlooks the Dodgers Stadium, tune into AM 570 for the live radio broadcast and sense the energy from the crowd with your friends and family! Oh, and there's free grills available as well (thank you LA Parks & Recreation). Elysian Park also offers some of the best LA hiking trails and is centrally located in between Echo Park and Chinatown.
Which brings us to some of the best nightlife related Los Angeles events this weekend : Echo Park. A neighborhood which has gone through a dramatic facelift in the past decade, it's home to notorious bars and music venues along with original LA street vendors. The Shortstop is an iconic spot for Dodger fans to pre-game as it's technically walking distance, or a rideshare away, from the stadium. The Gold Room is famous for its "Gold Room Special" and has recently gone through an interior renovation and now serve LA craft beer. In the mood for a live music show? Still along the same Sunset Blvd. corridor, you can check out The Echo and Echoplex venues; which are technically connected but sometimes serve as two separate venues with one entrance on Sunset Blvd. and the other below the bridge off Glendale Blvd. Check their twitter @TheEchoLA for more info!
The best part of the nightlife in Los Angeles is that there is no shortage of iconic LA taco trucks and street carts serving Danger Dogs. What's a Danger Dog? It's the unofficial but still considered by locals as the official hot dog of LA. Usually served right outside the bars and clubs at night, the first thing you'll sense is the smell of bacon. The Danger dog is a bacon wrapped–– dog which is topped by grilled onions, peppers, your choice of condiments and if you're brave enough, a jalapeño on top. It's the best street snack in LA, well right after tacos.
Let's not forget about the free events this weekend in LA, as mentioned above, its Wikipedia's 17th birthday and you can celebrate for free from 10am-5pm in DTLA; and there's always Target Free Sundays at the Museum of Latin American Art in Long Beach which also features free drop-in workshops for the whole family.

A packed basketball gym with threatening weather looming outside made for a dramatic start to the graduating Class of 2013's commencement ceremony at Fairfax High School Thursday, June 13.
Photo by Matt Gillick/The Connection
Aashna Dhayagude with her grandmother Vinita "This fall I'm going to James Madison University. I want to study marketing and management but I'm not sure what I want to do with it. Well, in 10 years I see myself living in New York City. I just love that city so much and think it has so much opportunity."
Megan Green, with longtime friend Thor Rasmussen "University of Virginia's where I'm headed. I hope to study business there. I hope to have traveled the world in 10 years, which is kind of why I want to be an FBI agent."
Ian Cooper with his whole family "I'm going to the Air Force. I just want to travel the world. Ten years? I guess I just settle down with a family. I want my family to be close with me and have a good relationship."
In keeping with tradition, seniors entered the gymnasium to Edward Elgar's "Pomp and Circumstance," played by Fairfax High School's own Band and Orchestra, led by band directors Alan Johnson and Matt Baker, and orchestra director Cindy Crumb.
Allie Lerner "I'm going to Virginia Tech so I can study business. Having a successful job and maybe married or have a boyfriend. I'm not so sure. I'm just happy that I graduated."
Fairfax High Chorus sang the national anthem, led by choral director Luke Frels. Principal David Goldfarb then greeted everyone present.
Travis Godfrey "For college I'm going to East Carolina University where I want to work on how I can get a job in security systems. Working on a high paying job in some place like Lockheed Martin is a dream of mine. I also hope to have a nice family. But, in those 10 years I hope to become my own boss."
Goldfarb, addressing the students, said, "Your parents are your first teachers. Please stand and recognize them. And also to your teachers who have taken up the task of instructing you through life." He continued to say a few words about keeping a positive attitude in a world of adversity. "Persistent optimism," Goldfarb advised, "or what I like to call 'the winning attitude,' can be just as important as ability." The students applauded and senior Katherine Rossbach introduced the guest speaker, Kevin Simonds.
As a former faculty member of Fairfax High School, Simonds talked about his experiences in teaching. He also emphasized the perception of success, "Is it a resume or a state of mind? Recognize the limitations of your strengths and be awesome in them." The class gift to the faculty was several bricks that had the words "Once a Rebel, always a Rebel" presented by student Natalie Dillinger.
Mayor of Fairfax Scott Silverthorne and Fairfax School Board Chairman Janice Miller distributed senior awards. Jennifer Brazinsky won the Outstanding Senior Award and Fairfax Award. Meghan Green was presented with the Citizenship Award and Kelly Deasy won the Faculty Award.
Chosen by his peers, Alex Griffin gave an unconventional speech for a graduation setting. In a playful, comedic tone Griffin said, "We are all dumb but, we have plenty of time to figure out how to get those old smart people in retirement homes … " The speech ended and Principal Goldfarb then presented the class with their diplomas.
The class of 2013 left with a final thundering class chant: "We are '13!"
Seniors left the gym to a warm, clear sky.

'I really am so very, very sorry about this,' he says, in an oddly formal voice… They strike the side of a grain silo. They are travelling at seventy miles per hour. A newborn baby is the sole survivor of a terrifying plane crash. She is raised in wealthy isolation by an overprotective father. She knows nothing of the rumours about a beautiful young woman, hidden from the world. When a suitor visits, he understands far more than he should. Forced to run for his life, he escapes aboard The Porpoise, an assassin on his tail… So begins a wild adventure of a novel, damp with salt spray, blood and tears. A novel that leaps from the modern era to ancient times; a novel that soars, and sails, and burns long and bright; a novel that almost drowns in grief yet swims ashore; in which pirates rampage, a princess wins a wrestler's hand, and ghost women with lampreys' teeth drag a man to hell – and in which the members of a shattered family, adrift in a violent world, journey towards a place called home.

Android News / AH Awards: Best Camera Smartphone 2015
AH Awards: Best Camera Smartphone 2015
By Tom Dawson
This post contains sponsored content
The smartphone camera has gotten better and better over the past few years and now, they've become so good that they can quite easily replace a digital camera for a lot of users. With larger sensors, much better software, more natural flash and speedier shooting, cameras have come on a long way in just the last couple of years. This year saw LG and Samsung make huge leaps in terms of their low-light performance and in the case of LG, in terms of better camera software. Sony came back with a little improvement, which went a long way and Google managed to put together a camera software and sensor combo that gave Nexus devices a decent shooter for once. There has never been a better time to enjoy taking photos with your phone, they're good enough for precious memories and great for taking a photo when you need to. Not all of these have been equal however, and this is our AH Award for the Best Camera Smartphone of 2015
3rd Place – LG V10 and Google Nexus 6P
This year saw LG really up their game with the LG G4 and its 16-megapixel camera. Improving on last year's laser autofocus, they also added a color spectrum sensor as well. With the V10 they took things a little further, all of the same manual shooting options – which included shutter-speed, aperture and exposure to name a few – they also added oodles of video software. The V10 is an excellent phone for those that want a camera that can do everything really pretty well. For budding filmmakers, there are a ton of features on offer, like the ability to edit and scrub footage there and then from the same camera app. Not to mention the excellent optical image stabilisation that LG have been offering for years now. It's also excellent for taking pictures, as you might imagine, and while the manual controls and such might be a little confusing for some, it's a great point-and-shoot machine as well. We reviewed the LG V10 here.
Tying with the V10 was Huawei's first Nexus device, the Nexus 6P. For the Nexus 6P – as well as the Nexus 5X – Google tried something a little different. They used the Sony IMX377 sensor, which might only take images of 12.3-megapixels, but it's usually used in consumer camcorders, making it a pretty versatile workhorse. Besides, pixels are only one part of the equation, and with this Sony sensor, Huawei's Nexus 6P takes excellent photos. They're sharp, natural and detailed with some good color saturation, without going overboard. Despite failed devices from the Nexus heritage having poor shooting experiences, the Nexus 6P is speedy to shoot with and pleasant to use as well. We reviewed the Nexus 6P here.
2nd Place – Galaxy Note 5
This year has been an interesting one for Samsung, the new design language throughout the Galaxy S6 line and the use of curved displays with the Edge series has resulted in some of their best-looking phones ever. The Galaxy Note line however, no longer looks quite so superior compared to the Galaxy S line. Nevertheless, the Galaxy Note 5 is one hell of a phone, and if you're wanting a good camera experience, this is a cut above the rest of Samsung's offerings. The Galaxy Note 5 features the same 16-megapixel f/1.9 shooter as the Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 Edge and Galaxy S6 Edge Plus, which means they all share similar performance. This means that the Galaxy Note 5 can take incredible low-light images, it really is a testament to how much work Samsung put in here. With lots of detail in day-to-day shooting, low-light is one area where this line of devices really stands out. So, why the Galaxy Note 5, then? Well, for one there's a nice big display to view your photos on – which look gorgeous thanks to Samsung's Super AMOLED technology – and then there's the S-Pen to work with as well. The S-Pen gives you lots of flexibility to edit photos, cut portions of photos out and do so much more with your work. As usual, you can read our review of the Galaxy Note here.
1st Place – Sony Xperia Z5
For years now, Sony has been delivering the best their mobile division has to offer with their Xperia Z line. While the design of the phones might be looking a little stale at this point, the camera experience has only gotten better and better. This year saw Sony launch the Xperia Z5 line, all with a fancy new 23-megapixel sensor and lens all of Sony's design. Coming from the company that make full-frame mirrorless digital cameras you would expect great things from Sony, and with the Xperia Z5 they deliver, and then some. With the Sony line of devices, it's not all about the megapixels, and while the Xperia Z5 certainly captures a lot of them, it also captures detail, excellent colors and it's a joy to use as well. Thanks to the inclusion of a dedicated camera button, it feels like you're using a digital camera when using the Xperia Z5, and the results will have you fooled even further. In our review, we found that even though the Superior Auto mode had a tendency to wash photos out, a tiny adjustment to exposure could get you some excellent shots you would never think were from a phone. Great for recording video as well, the Xperia Z5 line does it all, and it does so in style, too.

And the winner of providing the racy photos to the National Enquirer is the Saudis. Not only Saudi's have become the worst friend of Jeff Bezos but also for America. Nevertheless, the glorious president of the United States of America, Trump is Saudis best friend. Well, this is not shocking to people anymore; Trump has made a lasting impression on American people. And this is the reason why people are not surprised by the revelation that came to light in the last couple of years.
Saudi honors the POTUS and boosts Trump's ego and in the end, reveal that Jared Kushner is their "Inside Guy". Saudi takes American weapons only to make things complication in the future. Trump's organization has deeper roots with the Saudis. And this is a story for another day. Everything that has been happening with Jeff Bezos since January is because of the abduction and murder of Jamal Khashoggi.
The National Enquirer said that they did not utilize the sources that the Saudis have provided them. National Enquirer indicated the racy photos of Bezos the media outlet of America has published. Given that National Enquirer said no related to their involvement with the Saudis. Nevertheless, sources indicate that National Enquirer is deeply in bed with the officials of Saudi.
If the allegations made by Gavin De Becker are true, then Jeff Bezos' married life became collateral damage. When the murder of Jamal Khashoggi came to light, The Washington Post did everything to get to the truth. All Bezos wanted was to reach to the fact as to who murdered one of the significant columnists of The Washington Post.
According to De Becker, the Saudi found access to Bezos' phone and this where thing went upside down. Jeff Bezos made an extensive private investigation which includes the interviews of the experts in spyware in Saudi Arabia. And the conclusion of the investigation points the crown prince of Saudi.

Bring back railway line
PUBLISHED: 13:34 21 August 2008 | UPDATED: 09:32 10 June 2010

I was very interested to read a Journal article on August 7 headed "Store bid spotlights transport" and to read that the Exmouth branch railway line is the most heavily used in the West Country. In 2007 - July to November - I corresponded extensively with the Department for Transport and also wrote to East Devon District Council and Devon County Council to argue the case for the re-opening of the Sidmouth and Budleigh Salterton railway lines. I sent a three-inch thick binder to the Deptment for Transport, giving an audio visual presentation of the need for these lines to be re-opened and also went via the Prime Minister's office website and requested them to get the DfT to look into this. I highlighted the road traffic congestion in the Otter Valley and the strong need for local people to have their railway lines back. Extensive correspondence then took place between myself and two areas of the DfT and the upshot was that I was told it was down to the local authority in the area - Devon County Council - to address the traffic congestion problems which a lack of a rail system was causing. I also did the same presentation to the head of transport and planning at the Regional Development Authority in Exeter and recently submitted an article on it all to the Otter Valley Association, which I believe will be published in their next magazine. My own background is that I did camping coach holidays at the East Budleigh Station in 1960 and 1961. I should say that I did write to the Department of Transport about all this back in 1978, but just got a dusty answer. I also wrote to the local TUCC.My research showed that, when the lines closed in 1967, all the local authorities and an extensive range of businesses locally objected strongly and the Branch Line Memories DVD for the Sidmouth and Budleigh lines clearly shows the railways being extensively used right up to closure. You can see this visual evidence in the film of the diesel trains they brought in just before closure. In my view, there is a strong economic case for the reopening of the lines, especially from Exmouth to Budleigh Salterton, most of which is extant as a cycle way. The Sidmouth branch cries out for re-opening. Even though building work has gone on, the routes can be re-surveyed and a full feasibility study made by the local councils which have acknowledged in their local structure plans the need to withold further planning consents for more building on former railway land. I hope you will publish this comment. I hope that this time Devon County Council will look seriously at the matter and fund a feasibility study. There is plenty of room at Exmouth for a proper railway station to be built. Most of the railway goods yard got tarmaced over and used as a car park and is not used to capacity by any means.

A number of our customers often ask about numerous varieties of plumbing pipes that are available to them when seeking a repipe. You can find differences amongst the two main options with pros and cons for each variation. Practically all brand-new water lines installed today to exchange old, rusty galvanized pipes can be PEX pipes or Copper Pipes. A great many residence owners are not aware what Copper or PEX piping consists of, exactly what each looks like, expense of each, the great things about each category and the disadvantages. Unless of course someone is facing a scenario where they need to repipe a bathroom or full plumbing system through the entire house, it is not easy to be expected to be aware of what repiping is and what it involves. It is important to learn enough information about PEX and Copper pipes to take full advantage of your available options from Repipe Specialists. Not many regions offer both repipe solutions.

The ongoing LACS team of Bebete Martins (Brazil Initiative program manager), Alana Rodriguez (LACS program specialist), and Howard Tsai (Indigenous languages program coordinator) has been wonderfully supportive as we have been making this transition, as has outgoing Director Alex Stern. I'm deeply grateful to her for the leadership and dedication she has shown at LACS and the BI over the last three years, as she has expanded our ties with institutions and programs in Latin America, helped organize several major conferences and symposia, all while continuing to ensure that LACS offered a wide variety of programming, courses, research opportunities, and areas of community engagement. We all wish her the best as she becomes chair of the Department of American Culture.
We've already got some exciting programs underway for the Fall of 2017 and will send formal announcements of those soon. But we're also always eager to hear from you about events you'd like to see take place, or events you're planning for which you'd like LACS support, so please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Entropy models are widely used in various scientific fields, such as statistical physics, biology, economics, and machine learning. However, while the models developed in statistical physics have been mostly based on deformed entropies, including the entropies of Renyi, Tsallis, and Sharma-Mittal, machines learning has been mainly relying on Boltzmann-Gibbs-Shannon entropy. This type of entropy has been often used as one of regularizers of topic models (TM) or for their diagnosis. Topic modeling is a class of algorithms based on the procedure of restoring of a multidimensional distribution as a mixture of hidden distributions. One of the unsolved problems in TM is the choice of the number of distributions in the mixture. Another problem is its semantic stability.
Sensory data in sequential format can be obtained from different sensors describing different events. As a clear example of their usability, a smartphone has several inbuilt sensors such as accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, etc. Independently, each sensor continuously measures an action value (e.g. acceleration) at each time stamp. However, the interpretation of a series of instantaneous actions to higher-level events is complicated due to the lack of information in the one-dimensional series and the high similarity among different events. Inspired from image processing, sensory words are new descriptors of sequential data, where it captures the magnitude and orientation of data points and present them in frequency histogram.
The aim of the research project GazeMining by WeST and EYEVIDO GmbH is to capture Web sessions semantically and thus obtain a comprehensive yet rich picture of visual content as presented to the users, alongside attention and interaction by the users. This talk will provide you with the overall motivation, the current status and the future plans of the project.
With the popularity of RDF as an independent data model came the need for specifying constraints on RDF graphs, and for mechanisms to detect violations of such constraints. One of the most promising schema languages for RDF is SHACL, a recent W3C recommendation. Unfortunately, the specification of SHACL leaves open the problem of validation against recursive constraints. This omission is important because SHACL by design favors constraints that reference other ones, which in practice may easily yield reference cycles. In this paper, we propose a concise formal semantics for the so-called "core constraint components" of SHACL. This semantics handles arbitrary recursion, while being compliant with the current standard.
I present a family of stochastic local search algorithms for finding a single stable extension in an abstract argumentation framework. These incomplete algorithms work on random labellings for arguments and iteratively select a random mislabeled argument and flip its label. We present a general version of this approach and an optimisation that allows for greedy selections of arguments. We conduct an empirical evaluation with benchmark graphs from the previous two ICCMA competitions and further random instances. Our results show that our approach is competitive in general and significantly outperforms previous direct approaches and reduction-based approaches for the Barabasi-Albert graph model.
In both conversation and writing, grammar gives us the opportunity to avoid articulating parts of a sentence, which are overtly expressed in the preceding linguistic context. For instance, in the sentence, /I wanted to play football but I couldn't/, after /couldn't/, /play football/ can be dropped because it can be understood from the context. In linguistics, this phenomenon is known as verb phrase (VP) ellipsis. Detection and resolution of ellipsis lead towards understanding text properly which could be helpful to improve language understanding systems. Since this phenomenon is optional, the challenge was to find a way to systematically distinguish auxiliaries and modals that indicate VP ellipsis from auxiliaries that do not.


Ultrasonic sealing technology is one possibility that enables manufacturers to reduce both costs and product waste while providing strong product protection. Reduced energy consumption, material savings and increased equipment availability allow manufacturers to produce more sustainably and profitable. In comparison to other sealing methods used to date, such as hot and cold sealing, ultrasonic technology represents an attractive alternative.
Ultrasonic technology offers crucial benefits from a product safety perspective. The new technology avoids the risk of diminished seam quality and leakage due to contamination of the sealing area by using high frequency vibrations that remove product residues. The resulting sealed seams are secure, ensuring the product is tightly packaged.
One drawback associated with the often-used hot sealing method is the negative influence on product quality by the required sealing heat. The high temperature of the sealing jaws can cause product damage: here ultrasonic's "cold" approach is a major advantage. Since the tools used are cold, the sealed seam can be placed close to the product without having a negative impact on its quality.
Manufacturers can further benefit from the fact that there is no risk of heatrelated damage to materials or products in the event of machine stoppages. A popular alternative in the past, when packaging heat-sensitive products like chocolate, was to use cold sealing film to prevent products from melting. One disadvantage of this approach is the limited storage life of the film, which tends to stick together or to the product. Furthermore, the relatively high costs involved with cold sealing film have encouraged manufacturers to consider alternative sealing methods like ultrasonic technology.
Ultrasonic sealing technology provides significant savings in terms of the energy required for the packaging process. The film is not heated from the outside inwards, but as a result of molecular vibration within the film. As such, the temperature needed for welding purposes is generated inside the film in the actual sealed seams. This means, for example, a horizontal flow wrapping machine requires only 4.0 joules for sealing compared to hot sealing with 6.7 joules.
As a further benefit, savings can be made with material costs. For horizontal packaging applications, manufacturers can use less expensive film materials, replacing the kinds of films previously required for hot sealing with thinner and more cost-effective alternatives. In addition, the narrower sealed seams possible with ultrasonic sealing technology reduce the amount of material needed. With vertical form, fill and seal machines, up to 16 millimeters of film can be saved per package in terms of bag length.
The "cold" ultrasonic sealing technology also eliminates the need to clean hot sealing jaws. By reducing the issue of film sticking to the heated jaws, ultrasonic technology ensures that there is less material residue after sealing and fewer defective packages, all of which can help to reduce equipment downtime. As a result, manufacturers can see significantly increased operating times and a reduction in waste material.

PHOENIX — A 51-year-old Arizona man died after being stung by bees Sunday evening, the Yuma County Sheriff's Office said.
The sheriff's office responded to reports of a man being stung by "numerous bees" at a residence in Yuma just before 6:30 p.m., according to officials.
Rural Metro sprayed Gonzalez with water, and first responders took him to Yuma Regional Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead, the sheriff's office said.
Several sheriff's deputies and Rural Metro personnel were also stung, but none sought medical attention.

Blood drives help Ahwatukee boys battling cancer
Posted: September 16, 2018 / Source: Ahwatukee Foothills News
Three Kyrene schools are hosting blood drives to mark Cancer Awareness Month, an annual event that began three years ago to help Jace Hyduchak, then a Kyrene Monte Vista kindergarten student diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in 2015.
It continued the following year with the addition of Kyrene de la Sierra. This second blood drive was held under the Jace's Defenders banner, but it helped another Monte Vista youngster, Jackson Dupps, who was diagnosed with Wilms tumor in 2013.
Parents of both boys say they've progressed impressively.
"This October marks the five-year anniversary of Jackson completing his cancer treatment, and he's doing amazing," said his mother, Kelli Dupps, a neonatal occupational therapist at Banner University Medical Center.
Kelli and husband Greg also have a son, Ethan, an Altadena Middle School seventh-grader.
"Jackson is 7 now and in second grade at Kyrene Monte Vista Elementary School. As a family, we're so proud to take part in the Monte Vista Blood Drive hosted by Jace's Defenders, and couldn't be more thankful for the amazing turnout from our community," said Kelli.
"Even better is that the trend is growing. Donating blood really does make a huge difference, and both Jackson and Jace are a testament to that."
One of the organizers spearheading the drives since the inception, Tara Martinez, said they had hoped to celebrate this September's blood drive as the last one, with Jace ending his treatments in March and Jackson in remission.
But then she learned of yet another Ahwatukee boy who is battling cancer, a diagnosis made midsummer.
"It kind of broke our hearts when we learned about Logan and realized that it doesn't end. And that's why we're doing this, not just for Jace and Jackson, but for other kids who need blood," said Martinez, who worked with United Blood Services in Albuquerque before moving to Ahwatukee.
The newest cancer warrior is Logan Gidley, a fifth-grader also at Kyrene Monte Vista. His mother, Krystal Felts-Lehr, said his leukemia diagnosis came on Friday the 13 last July.
She spoke quietly, and a bit breathlessly, as she answered questions while visiting her son at Phoenix Children's Hospital last week as he underwent the second round of treatments for the disease.
She said there are possibly four more rounds ahead, with each round lasting three weeks, with a week off at home in between.
"Logan is responding well, and the prognosis looks good," said Felts-Lehr, who also has a 7-year-old daughter, Juliette.
It's been a tough experience for her son and the family to undergo – that came out of nowhere.
"He's on the swim team at the Y and was taking advanced math classes this summer, so when he started losing a few pounds and his appetite decreased, we said, 'Hey, it's summer, he's really busy.'"
But the symptoms worsened, and they were accompanied by a sore throat and then a fever.
"Our pediatrician, Dr. Noelle Miller at TLC Pediatrics, has known Logan since he was born, and she smelled a rat," she said.
The diagnosis was earthshaking.
"You don't really think cancer. You don't think it will happen to your child," she admitted.
At this point in the treatment, it's not expected a bone marrow procedure will be needed.
"It's off the table right now," she said.
Coping with the changes necessitated by hospital stays and just plain worrisome thoughts, Felts said she is blessed to have family support – including that of her son's father and his wife – Eric and Renae Gidley.
"We've had a lot of support from family, and we're definitely lucky to have four of us. We're very close and we've come together as a team for Logan," said Felts-Lehr, who credited her husband Ryan Lehr, his parents from Indiana and hers from Colorado and Washington state for their extraordinary assistance.
And the community has stepped forward, she said, from neighbors and friends to Kyrene schools, which provide a homebound teacher to help the youngster stay abreast of his studies.
"The school has been absolutely amazing. Actually, Logan's teacher from last year, Heidi Crouch, volunteered to be his homebound teacher," said Felts-Lehr. "And there's a teacher at the hospital, Virginia Tremble, who communicates with Crouch."
One goal of both teachers is to keep Logan not only current, but ahead so that when he starts sixth grade next year at Altadena Middle School, he can still be in advanced math – a subject, like science, in which he excels.
The outpouring of support has not gone unnoticed by the boy, despite what else he's going through since July 13.
"Logan said the other day, 'Mom, I didn't know these many people cared about us. Maybe we should tell people more how we feel about them without waiting for them to be sick.' He's grown up a lot in here, he maturing fast and yet he's still a boy. I just draw my strength from him."
The upcoming Sept. 28 blood drives has taken on a new meaning for Felts.
"I've had a hard time giving blood. I think last time I tried, I passed out three times. But you know, I'm going to suck it up for this because now I know how important it is," she said. "Logan has had at least 10 transfusions so far, and platelets at least six or seven times."
Ann Hyduchak, Jace's mother, also knows what it means to have blood donated and how much is needed to help the children fight their fight.
"Until Jace was going through treatment, we didn't realize how many blood products he would need to replenish what was lost with chemotherapy. The first blood drive was a way for us to give back to our community. It took at least 30 donors to save Jace's life and we wanted to replace that as well as spread awareness about childhood cancer," said Hyduchak, who with husband George has three other sons.
"Tara was an integral part in all of this as she approached me first about starting the blood drive. She knew from the get-go that blood donors were needed all year long, and she wanted to help us along this journey, she continued, adding:
"Last year, we added Sierra Elementary School to join our blood drives, and this year we added Altadena Middle School. Our ultimate goal is to have a blood mobile at each of the Kyrene schools. We're thankful that we can dedicate that blood drive to Logan and his fight with AML."
Though his band of supporters still raise funds under the banner, Jace's Defenders, Jace – now in second grade – is much improved.
"He had a rough eight months of frontline treatment, and since then he hit maintenance, which has been less intense where we all experience more normal days," she said bracketing "normal" in air quotes.
"He hasn't missed any school this year, unlike the past two years, where he missed the beginning due to a low ANC or infection. He's in maintenance now until March 29, 2019, when he'll take his last chemo pill," she said, explaining maintenance consists of daily oral chemo, with steroids and antibiotics on the weekends.
She said Jace also undergoes two more lumbar punctures with intrathecal chemo and IV chemo once a month.
"He takes his medicine like a champ every day and doesn't complain when we have to visit Phoenix Children's Hospital," she bragged.
Jackson Dupps also is in a maintenance phase, with scans and testing every six months.
This is the first blood drive at Kyrene Altadena Middle School. Principal James Martin said being included was an honor, one he hopes to continue.
"At Altadeña, we strive to be leaders in our community. We're excited to partner with the PTSO to help with such an important cause, and we look forward to making this a tradition on our campus," said Martin.
Donated blood may be used for other needs, Ann Hyduchak noted.

"There isn't much that I can do as a parent for my son as he battles cancer, so these blood drives are a way I feel we're helping in a small way," she said. "Last year, we were informed that the blood drives held at the end of September helped with the Las Vegas shooting victims. That was a good feeling."
Childhood cancer is the leading cause of death by disease in children under 15 years old.

Applies to any device that you may wear : clothes (see fabrics), and glasses (for virtual or augmented reality).
- One could say that there are different levels of integration of devices with the body : portable, laptop, pocket, wearable, implanted/grafted. Some accompanying objects like drones can be a complement of properly wearable objects.
As soon as we try to describe globally the wearables, we bump into something quite complex. The wearable is a kind of intermediary (partial or more or less total) between the body and the word, then between the mind and the word. We are no longer in "immediate" contact with our environment. Note that, from the brain point of view, that is not so new, since we know through our senses and act through our muscles (mainly).
Main components and functions: sensors, actuators, processors, remote connection.

Music megastar Sting has taken to social media to promote a single featuring hundreds of North children.
A song featuring hundreds of North schoolchildren has won the support of international music megastar Sting.
The Tyneside-born musician has been putting his promotional clout behind the single, Border to the River, before the song's release by Newcastle College's record label, Push Puzzle Records, tomorrow.
The song features the voices and instruments of children from across Newcastle and The Northumbrian Ranters.
Sting was born in Wallsend, as Gordon Matthew Sumner in 1951. His mum Audrey was a hairdresser and dad Ernest was a milkman. He became interested in playing music during his teens, practising at the Buddle Arts Centre and recording at the Impulse Sound Studios in Wallsend. And he has never forgotten his roots and realises the importance of youngsters being given opportunities in the music business.
He is now lending his support to the Music Partnership North between Newcastle and Northumberland music services, Newcastle College and Sage Gateshead.
Sting, who has been Tweeting about the single's upcoming release, said: "From the first moment I picked up a guitar as a young boy in Wallsend, music has been the most important part of my life. Music Partnership North will give children across the North East the chance to discover a lifelong love of music. The region has a great creative atmosphere and legacy and as this song demonstrates, music is very much alive and an important part of people's lives."
The song will also be played before Newcastle's game against Crystal Palace next Saturday. It will be available to download from tomorrow through digital music retailers, such as iTunes, Amazon, Google and Spotify.
All revenue generated will go to Music Partnership North to promote music making through similar projects in the region's schools.

Service and Sacrifice - The Selfless Life Of Mother Teresa (Part 2 of 2)

Mother Teresa (1910–1997), born Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu; was a Roman Catholic nun who devoted her life to serving the poor and destitute around the world. She spent many years in Calcutta, India where she founded the Missionaries of Charity, a religious congregation devoted to helping those in great need. In 1979, Mother Teresa was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize and became a symbol of charitable, selfless work. In 2016, Mother Teresa was canonised by the Roman Catholic Church as Saint Teresa.

In the 1960s, the life of Mother Teresa was brought to a wider public attention by Malcolm Muggeridge who wrote a book and produced a documentary called "Something Beautiful for God".
In 1979, she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize "for work undertaken in the struggle to overcome poverty and distress, which also constitutes a threat to peace". She didn't attend the ceremonial banquet but asked that the $192,000 fund be given to the poor.
In later years, she was more active in western developed countries. She commented that though the West was materially prosperous, there was often a spiritual poverty.
"The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread" – Mother Teresa
When she was asked how to promote world peace, she replied; "Go home and love your family".
Over the last two decades of her life, Mother Teresa suffered various health problems, but nothing could dissuade her from fulfilling her mission of serving the poor and needy. Until her very last illness she was active in travelling around the world to the different branches of The Missionaries of Charity. During her last few years, she met Princess Diana in the Bronx, New York. The two died within a week of each other.
Following Mother Teresa's death, the Vatican began the process of beatification, which is the second step on the way to canonization and sainthood. Mother Teresa was formally beatified in October 2003 by Pope John Paul II. In September 2015, Pope Francis declared:
"Mother Teresa, in all aspects of her life, was a generous dispenser of divine mercy, making herself available for everyone through her welcome and defence of human life, those unborn and those abandoned and discarded. She bowed down before those who were spent, left to die on the side of the road, seeing in them their God-given dignity. She made her voice heard before the powers of this world, so that they might recognize their guilt for the crime of poverty they created".
Mother Teresa was a living saint who offered a great example and inspiration to the world.
"Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love" – Mother Teresa
