With the advancement of computer sciences in the field of machine learning and artificial intelligence, I as the author has done a fun experiment with the hope to continue the "ghostly" feeling that Hearn described in his speech by using Markov chain technique to recreate a new Kaidan story based on Hearn's writings. In the process of resurrecting, I taught the machine learning system with three texts from Hearn's Kwaidan archive("A Dead Secret", "Horai", "Of a mirror and a ball"). The three stories were analyzed by machine to create a frequency analysis, which supposably capture a glimpse of Hearn writing style. The new three stories below are the result of this generative process (The author didn't make any change to the text at all).

Ex-national ski coach Bertrand Charest gets 12-year prison sentence
Coach was found guilty of 37 of the 57 sex-related charges he was facing
The 20 years that have passed since Bertrand Charest's crimes cannot erase the pain he inflicted on his young victims, a judge said Friday as he sentenced the former national ski coach to a 12-year prison term.
In a scathing ruling, Judge Sylvain Lepine described Charest's sexual assaults on the teenage girls he trained as "inexcusable and criminal," especially given their young age and his position of authority over them.
He also highlighted the courage of the victims and alleged victims who testified, all but one of whom were under the age of 18 at the time of the offences.
"To denounce a theft or a fraud is certainly easier than denouncing a sexual assault," Lepine told the packed courtroom in Saint-Jerome, north of Montreal.
"It's an intimate act, targeting the body, the physique, and is also an infringement on the psychological health of the victims."
READ: Sister of former ski coach Bertrand Charest takes stand at his sex assault trial
With time already served in detention since his arrest in 2015, Charest has seven years and 10 months left in the sentence.
In June, Lepine called Charest a sexual predator as he found him guilty of 37 of the 57 sex-related charges he was facing. The convictions involved nine of the 12 women who'd accused him of crimes dating back more than 20 years.
On Friday, the judge had more harsh words for the accused, who stood quietly with his hands clasped in front of him and did not visibly react when the sentence was read out.
Lepine said Charest still did not grasp the severity or the consequences of his crimes and has denied the need for therapy.
He stressed that the victims, the youngest being 12 years old, are still suffering from what he called "serious health consequences" as a result of the abuse that took place between 1991 and 1998.
"This behaviour is not acceptable in 2017, it wasn't in 1998, just as it wasn't in 1950 or any other era," he said in his ruling.
"It is criminal in Quebec, in Europe and in every country in the world."
READ: Second witness tells sex-assault trial of ex-ski coach about harassment
Charest's lawyer, Antonio Cabral, said he will look at the sentence in detail before deciding whether to appeal, as he is doing for last June's convictions.
"I am a bit surprised with that (with the length of the sentence)," said Cabral, who had recommended between four and six years. "Twelve years is a significant sentence."
Crown prosecutor Marie-Nathalie Tremblay expressed satisfaction, however, as it corresponded exactly to what she and fellow prosecutor Caroline Lafleur had asked for.
"They (the victims) were happy with the outcome, with the sentence, with having been heard and with the judge delivering the message that (such behaviour) is not to be tolerated," Tremblay told reporters.
She said four of the victims listened via videoconference to the sentence being read, while four others were in the courtroom.
The accused, who didn't testify at his trial, was acquitted on 18 charges, while the court said it didn't have jurisdiction over two other counts related to incidents that occurred abroad.
The 57 initial charges against Charest included sexual assault, sexual exploitation and one of sexual assault causing bodily harm.
Charest's victims delivered emotional impact statements last month, with one telling the court he had robbed her of her childhood and acted like a predator.
Another cried as she recounted how she lives with "shame, guilt and disgust" because of the sex assaults.
Some of the offences took place both before and during Charest's stint with Alpine Canada's women's development team between 1996 and 1998.
The national ski organization said in a statement after the June verdict was rendered that the ruling sent a message that abusing authority has no place in sports or in society in general.
Lepine, meanwhile, ripped into the organization Friday.
"Alpine Canada and its leaders failed miserably in their role as guardians and protectors of these young athletes," he wrote.
"Their parents had entrusted them (Alpine Canada) with their safety. Alpine Canada chose rather to close its eyes, to not believe these young women and to hide the truth."

According to a new survey, the average person will spend $142.31 on Valentine's Day this year, coughing up the cash on candy, flowers and more. That's a jump from the $133.91 those lovestruck fools spent in 2014. All told, we'll spend $18.9 billion. Yes, billion, with a B.
A total of 53% will buy candy, 38% will purchase flowers, 35% will splurge on a special night out with their sweetie and 21% will make a real statement by buying jewelry.
People will certainly dole out the cash for their special someones. Ninety-one percent will spend an average of $87.94 on their significant others. That's a jump from $78.09 last year.
It's not just the love of our lives we're opening our wallets for this Valentine's Day. Nearly 59% will spend an average of $26.26 on other relatives and $6.30 on their kids' classmates and teachers. And in proof that Valentine's Day has gone to the dogs, 21% admit to getting their pets something, ponying up an average of $5.28 on these animals.
Men will spend an average of $190.53, a far cry from the $96.58 women will. Lovebirds in the 25-34 age range will outspend everyone else by depleting an average of $213.04. So, clearly you can put a price on love.
How much will you spend this Valentine's Day?

Der Burgwall von Tüzen, einem Ortsteil der Gemeinde Kriesow im Landkreis Mecklenburgische Seenplatte, befindet sich auf dem Schlossberg am Badestrand des Tüzer Sees. Slawische Keramikscherben zeigen, dass das Areal schon im slawischen Zeitalter genutzt wurde. Möglicherweise existierte hier eine slawische Höhenburg, von der aus das nahe Umland kontrolliert wurde. Im 12./13. Jahrhundert kam die Gegend im Zuge der deutschen Ostexpansion unter deutsche Hoheit. Auf dem Schlossberg wurde nun eine neue frühdeutsche Burg errichtet, von wo aus das Land "Tucen" verwaltet wurde. Wie lange diese Burg bestand, ist nicht bekannt. Steinerne Burgreste sind auf dem Plateau keine mehr vorhanden. Durch die natürliche Schutzlage konnte man auf zusätzliche Erdwälle verzichten. Der einzige Zugang zum Burgplateau führte von Norden heran.

Home/News/Apple greatly improves the brightness and viewing angle of the iPhone screen with its proprietary technology
Apple greatly improves the brightness and viewing angle of the iPhone screen with its proprietary technology
ghabbas2552 weeks ago
Mark GarmanA seasoned whistleblower Bloomberg, says that Apple will use custom micro LED displays in iPhone, iPad and Mac in the not too distant future. The company will initially use the micro LED display in the new Apple Watch Ultra model, which will be unveiled in late 2024.
Apple has been working on micro LED technology for about 6 years and this is the first time that Apple plans to make a display specifically. The world's most valuable brand created exciting events in the laptop world by migrating to a dedicated processor, and now plans to increase the number of dedicated parts for its products.
Unconfirmed rumors say that the micro LED display production project started in 2017 under the code name T159. This type of display experiences significant improvement in terms of brightness, color reproduction and viewing angle. Mark Garman says the micro-LED makes it feel like the images are painted on the display glass. Currently, Apple buys displays for its devices from companies like LG and Samsung.
Garmin says Apple's long-term plan is to use micro-LED displays in all major products. Thus, after the Apple Watch Ultra, we will see the unveiling of the iPhone with a micro LED display. After iPhone, iPad and Mac will also be equipped with this screen. We are probably a decade away from the unveiling of the first Mac equipped with a micro-LED display.

Apple fires staff amid claims of intimate photos being shared in Australia store

Oct 14, 2016, 9:07 am SGT
http://str.sg/4xvn
BRISBANE - A number of employees at an Apple store in Brisbane, Australia have been fired after they allegedly shared photos of female customers and colleagues, reported the BBC.
They even ranked the women's bodies out of 10.
Brisbane's Courier-Mail reported that dozens of these photos were taken without the knowledge or consent of the women, and that other images were stolen from customers' phones, according to the BBC.
Apple confirmed an inquiry and said "several" jobs had been terminated. However, it also said that the inquiry had thus far not shown that any photos had been stolen. The inquiry also indicated that no one had been photographed without consent.
The photos - including more than 100 close-up and intimate images according to the Courier-Mail - were said to have been shared and the women's bodies then rated.
The newspaper said the possible privacy breach came to be known after a fellow employee noticed a store technician browsing through a customer's phone in the repair room, reported the BBC.
Another staff member told the Courier-Mail that they were concerned the same situation was happening in other Australian Apple stores.
If the allegations are true, Apple said they would constitute a violation of the company's business conduct policy.
It said in a statement: "Apple believe in treating everyone equally and with respect, and we do not tolerate behaviour that goes against our values."
"We have met with our store team to let them know about the investigation and inform them about the steps Apple is taking to protect their privacy," the statement added.
The Australian Privacy Commissioner, Timothy Pilgrim, is also looking into the alleged privacy breach, according to the BBC.
"We are aware of the reports and will be making enquiries with Apple to seek further information," he said.
"This is an important reminder that all organisations that collect and manage personal information need to embed a culture of privacy and ensure employees understand their responsibilities."

Hurricane Harvey: How To Help Victims With Money and Blood Donations, Where to Volunteer
By Greg Price On 8/26/17 at 3:12 PM EDT
A damaged home is seen after Hurricane Harvey passed through on August 26, 2017 in Rockport, Texas. Harvey made landfall shortly after 11 p.m. Friday, just north of Port Aransas as a Category 4 storm and is being reported as the strongest hurricane to hit the United States since Wilma in 2005. Forecasts call for as much as 30 inches of rain to fall in the next few days. Getty Images/ Joe Raedle
U.S. Hurricane Harvey Texas Louisiana
Hurricane Harvey was downgraded to a tropical storm Saturday, but it's destruction has left hundreds of thousands across the Texas coast without electrical power and has caused significant damage to cities and counties since hitting landfall late Friday night.
Photos and videos of the damage have poured into media reports as well as social media outlets like Twitter. And while many around the country cannot head down to southeastern Texas to directly help, there are other ways to aid Harvey's victims.
The American Red Cross has set up a donation page in order to raise funds to help victims. The page allows donations through credit card or PayPal.
Red Cross volunteers have already amassed to reach victims, and the organization's volunteer sign-up page can be found here.

The Salvation Army also has a donation page here.
The South Texas Blood and Tissue Center started to prepare for Harvey before it Friday, and the center is encouraging those who are fit and of age to donate blood—or who have a parental consent form—and help trauma centers that have seen an influx of patients because of Harvey.
The cities most affected, thus far, include Rockport, Texas, while Harvey now has a "target triangle" of Houston, San Antonio and Corpus Christi that will see days of heavy rain that are expected to cause "catastrophic" flooding, NBC News reported.
With more than 300,000 people losing access to power, the total rainfall in the affected areas is predicted to reach a total of between two to three feet.
While Harvey's wind speed dropped to 70 miles per hour, well below the previous 130 mph winds that made it a Category 4 hurricane and the worst to hit the country in decades, it has still caused significant damage.
Rockport, located about 30 miles north of Corpus Christi, has people trapped inside a senior housing complex and part of its local high school has collapsed, the city's mayor said according to the Houston Chronicle.

James Hannaham
in memory of j.d.
Think of two women who graduated from the same college in the same year. One of them, by the end of the decade, becomes a well-known artist who makes elaborate sculptures and drawings, some of which seem like explosions suspended in time—tiny fragments of assorted shrapnel and paper, numerous ordinary objects like ladders and lamps disassembled and turned every which way, connected to swirling wires strung from the ceilings of capacious atria in art galleries.
The other woman, a soft-spoken estate lawyer originally from the U.K., dies in a well-known plane crash near the end of the decade, one that turned out to have been caused by a spark from an exposed wire in a new entertainment system that ignited a horrifyingly flammable insulation material called metalized Mylar. A standard procedure for dealing with a fire of unknown origin caused the captain to flick a switch that turned off a fan that trapped the blaze in the ceiling above the cockpit. The fire intensified and disabled the plane's control panel in several minutes, rendering the plane unflyable. But no one in the main cabin could tell that much was amiss.
The plane hit the ocean at 345 mph. At this velocity, 350 g of force atomized the fuselage into at least 2 million pieces… in one-third of a second, the tail of the plane was in the nose of the plane. Think of aluminum, diamonds, bodies, water, fire, paper, steel, paintings, wires, insulation, plastic, cushions twisted by unfathomable forces into a confused spume on a dark late summer night. Only one body, of 229 onboard, remained intact. Whose?
During the inquest, which took four years, the investigators reassembled what they had of the wreckage, hanging it on a plane-shaped frame. They did not have much that they could place in the correct location. A Picasso worth millions and a cache of diamonds valued at $300 million also went down with the plane. These valuables must have disintegrated.
I wonder if these two women, both of whom I knew, whose fates, though diametrically opposed, seemed to rhyme somehow, ever crossed paths at school. Sat in the same aisle at a student production. Accidentally bumped into each other while hustling across campus. The one who survived now teaches at the university where the other studied law. Does the universe make these connections? Does the mind? Is there a difference? Does it matter? We must live life forward and attempt to make sense of it backward. So we fail in both directions.
James Hannaham is the author of Delicious Foods, which won the PEN/Faulkner Award. His next book, Pilot Imposter, is a multigenre book of responses to poems by Fernando Pessoa, which will be followed by a novel, Re-Entry, or What Happened to Carlotta.

Q: Why does vector addition work in physics? How do we know for sure that vector addition works while working in 2D?Is there a mathematical proof for this?

A: The parallogram rule for the addition of forces was described by Isaac Newton. You can test it with wires and calibrated spring scales in any undergraduate physics lab.  Or use pucks on an air table.
For mathematical proof, see the first chapter of any linear algebra text for a full treatment.
The key is to know when a physical quantity is a vector: forces, velocities, accelerations, etc. Then you can rely on the math.

I shot my first wedding in 10 months today, and it was a wonderful day from start to finish. Not only were the bride and groom easygoing and great to work with, but the location and weather was all working in my favor. At the end of the night I walked away with over 1200 shots (which I'm not really looking forward to sifting through). I chose a few portraits from before the ceremony to edit and picked my favorite post up here. I might feature a few more in the next day or two if I don't think it's wedding-overkill for you guys.

CLIFFORD STREIT'S new play could very well make the term "bearding" a household word.
Forrester didn't like the idea of bearding the artisan in his workshop; it made him feel uncomfortable, and after a while he put his finger on the reason.
I felt somewhat flattered by this encouraging condescension, and I admit now that I did not feel particularly happy at the idea of bearding the thieving lion, with his hyena-like satellites, in his den.
Alarmed by Russian pogroms and the anti-Semitic Dreyfus trial in France, Herzl wrote a manifesto, "The Jewish State" (1895), and a novel, "The Old-New Land" (1900), before bearding the German Kaiser at the gates of Jerusalem.
I turned to look at the cave, waiting for the icy fear to set in, but I felt nothing but an entirely reasonable nervousness at the thought of bearding Raziel in his den.

In contrast to aromatic carboxylates, the coordination polymers based on their perfluorinated analogues are not numerous. Here we present a series of six Zn(II) coordination polymers of different dimensionalities (1D, 2D, and 3D) and porosities based on octafluorobiphenyl-4,4′-dicarboxylate (oFBPDC2−) and N-containing co-ligands (ur, dabco, and bpy). These complexes are characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, PXRD, FT-IR, elemental analysis, and TGA. The metal–organic frameworks [Zn2(CH3CONH2)2(oFBPDC)2] (1) and [Zn2(oFBPDC)2(dabco)] (4) are shown to be porous with BET surface areas of 470 m2 g−1 and 441 m2 g−1, respectively. In addition, compound 4 shows selectivity factors of 11.3, 4.9 and more than 6 for the binary gas mixtures CO2/N2, CO2/CH4 and benzene/cyclohexane, respectively. The measurements for pressed powders and water droplet give water contact angles of 136° for 4 and 133° for (H2bpy)[Zn2(bpy)(oFBPDC)3] (5). Low water uptake indicates that both 4 and 5 belong to highly hydrophobic solids.

Q: Plotting a stacked horizontal barplot I have this dataframe called "df_pressure":

3         9         Brighton   5670  1832   32.3  3838   67.7
19       10           Wolves   5529  1633   29.5  3896   70.5

15       15      Southampton   5869  1806   30.8  4063   69.2
7        16          Everton   6346  1892   29.8  4454   70.2

14       20     Norwich City   6146  1570   25.5  4576   74.5

I then decided to create another dataframe for some columns only:
df_pressure_perc=df_pressure[['Squad','Succ%','Fail%']]
df_pressure_perc.reset_index(drop=True, inplace=True)
df_pressure_perc.set_index('Squad')
print(df_pressure_perc)

Output:
              Squad  Succ%  Fail%
0   Manchester City   32.5   67.5
1         Liverpool   32.3   67.7
2           Chelsea   30.8   69.2
3         Tottenham   27.8   72.2
4           Arsenal   30.2   69.8
5    Manchester Utd   28.8   71.2
6          West Ham   27.9   72.1
7    Leicester City   28.7   71.3
8          Brighton   32.3   67.7
9            Wolves   29.5   70.5
10    Newcastle Utd   26.9   73.1
11   Crystal Palace   29.9   70.1
12        Brentford   28.9   71.1
13      Aston Villa   27.6   72.4
14      Southampton   30.8   69.2
15          Everton   29.8   70.2
16     Leeds United   29.9   70.1
17          Burnley   27.1   72.9
18          Watford   28.9   71.1
19     Norwich City   25.5   74.5

Based on this new dataframe "df_pressure_perc", I decided to create a stacked barplot. Upon creating it with the following code: df_pressure_perc.plot(kind='barh', stacked=True, ylabel='Squad', colormap='tab10', figsize=(10, 6))
I realised my viz Y axis were not labelled in terms of the Squad names. Would like to seek some advice on how I can reflect the Y axis in Squad names instead of 0-19.

Q: Android Show Open in Browser inside an Alert I am new into Android Native Development,
    I want show "Open in Browser" icon inside an alert Message.
Case:
I have a QR code scanned and showing the result in a toast or Alert.
In the scanned Result, I want to Show up "Open In Browser" with the code result or Alert message

The Challenge is I am not able to achieve this functionality.  Kindly let me know how to do this so that I can move further with learning Android.
My Manifest goes like this:

 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:supportsRtl="true"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
        <activity android:name=".MainActivity">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>

</manifest>

And my Result handler
   @Override
    public void handleResult(Result rawResult) {
        // Do something with the result here
        Log.v("TAG", rawResult.getText()); // Prints scan results
        Log.v("TAG", rawResult.getBarcodeFormat().toString()); // Prints the scan format (qrcode, pdf417 etc.)
        AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
                builder.setTitle("UTQode Result");
                builder.setMessage(rawResult.getText());
                AlertDialog alert1 = builder.create();
                alert1.show();
//        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "My Message",
//                Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        Toast.makeText(this, rawResult.getText(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

        // If you would like to resume scanning, call this method below:
        mScannerView.resumeCameraPreview(this);
    }

I am testing with the above code, but I need to open the alert result and Query it in Browser

A: Do this in alert dialog:
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
                builder.setTitle("UTQode Result");
                builder.setMessage(rawResult.getText());
                builder..setIcon(getResources().getDrawable(android.R.drawable.your_icon));
                AlertDialog alert1 = builder.create();
                alert1.show();

if you want a button with text "open in browser" do this:
    AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
                        builder.setTitle("UTQode Result");
                        builder.setMessage(rawResult.getText());
                        builder.setIcon(getResources().getDrawable(android.R.drawable.your_icon));
    builder.setPositiveButton("Open in browser", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
               public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
                    //do things
                    startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(your result url)));
               }
           });
                        AlertDialog alert1 = builder.create();
                        alert1.show();

A: If you want to open the browser by clicking "Open in Browser", you can add a method at pressing a button
AlertDialog.Builder alertDialogBuilder = new AlertDialog.Builder(
            context);

        // set title
        alertDialogBuilder.setTitle("Your Title");

        // set dialog message
        alertDialogBuilder
            .setMessage("Click yes to exit!")
            .setCancelable(false)
            .setPositiveButton("Open in Browser",new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog,int id) {
                    openInBrowser();
                }
              })
            .setNegativeButton("No",new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog,int id) {
                    // if this button is clicked, just close
                    // the dialog box and do nothing
                    dialog.cancel();
                }
            });

            // create alert dialog
            AlertDialog alertDialog = alertDialogBuilder.create();

            // show it
            alertDialog.show();

If you only want a Icon at the top of the Alert use .setIcon()

Литература


As parents of adult children, we often wonder: Will my children make good choices when they're on their own? How can I let them go when I've held them for so long?
Parent and author Jodie Berndt understands what it's like to release children into the world and still care deeply about them and everything they will face in life from relationships to career decisions and everything in between. In Praying the Scriptures for Your Adult Children, Jodie continues her Praying the Scriptures series with biblical prayers for your adult children, whether they are just leaving the nest, flying well on their own, or struggling to take off at all.
Each section focuses on a different aspect of adulthood, with encouraging stories from experienced parents who are praying their children through rocky marriages, health concerns, financial challenges and other real-life issues. At the end of each chapter, you'll find personalized prayers for your children taken straight from Scripture. Each chapter also includes verses for you to pray for yourself as you take the challenging step of trusting God to care for your children in ways that you can't.
With grace and wisdom, Jodie addresses cultural trends such as couples living together before marriage and young adults leaving the church, as well as the painful realities of loneliness, addiction, and mental health issues. With hope-filled words for the parents of the prodigal, she is particularly sensitive to the long-term prayers we offer, even as we doubt ourselves and grieve over our children's choices.
Whatever you are praying for, you will find confidence and peace in these powerful prayers for your kids. Praying the Scriptures for Your Adult Children guides you to the bedrock of God's promises as you release your children to God's shepherding care.


Strategic Planning, Business Strategic Plan, Financial Goals.
The pressures of daily business can often mean strategic planning takes a back seat, but to have a successful business, it is vital to plan ahead. We'll help you establish a strategic plan that examines where you want your business to be in the next 3-5 years and exactly how you and your team can achieve these aims and objectives.

Updating you guys on what happen at the Nokia Email Service Chat Conversation..
First let me say sorry if some of your questions were not answered.
I'm just posting a keynote of the Question and Answer portion.. If you didn't find your answer Please kindly post a comment, I will try my best to give you an explanation.
Thank You.. Here it goes..
"*Price on Nokia Email when it comes out of Beta?
NES Product Mgr: We haven't announced pricing, but we're working directly with operators to make the costs bundled as part of the data plan.
NES Product Mgr: We know a lot of people want this, we're actively working on it, and this is one of the "haven't announced specifically when it arrives".
*When will Nseries phones have the notification pop up on the home screen like the one on Eseries phones?
NES Product Mgr 1: In the inbox, users can define how they want to see the messages — with a preview of the subject line (which shows more of each email, but fewer messages), or on a single line view (shows more messages, less content of each).
NES Product Mgr: We've been hearing that a lot – we're implementing it and it will be released in an upcoming version.
*Is it possible to sync more than 3 Days of Data?
NES Product Mgr: On the Nokia Email server, we store the past three days of email. When you first get your email set up, you received these three days' worth of messages. The "Remove older than" settings allows you to decide how much email to store on your phone. These messages are stored on your device and consume memory.
*Why do I always gets kicked out of Nokia Email and asked us to login with our password?
NES Product Mgr: we're looking into this bug right now…. it's affecting a small portion of our users.
*How about the choices of choosing IMAP or POP to use on Nokia Email? Basically be able to provide advance settings?
NES Product Mgr: Our system is supposed to autodetect that. Send Feedback for more issues."I hope I helped some of you guys out with your request and inquiries..
As for bug complaints such as the disconnection bug, According to the NES Product Managers those need to be posted on the feedback section, and their currently working on fixing them.
Like I said before, Nokia Email Service has a huge potential if they continue to work with the consumers request.. That's what its all about.. Its all about the consumers.
What do you guys think of the future of Nokia Email Service? Chime in and post your comments..

New Study Shows 1/3 Men Would Be Uncomfortable Discussing Their Emotions If A Stressful Life Event Occurred
We spoke to two busy Canadian entrepreneurs about the importance of opening up.
Jenna Marie Schwartz
Trey RichardsSean MacDonald
Right now, there's no question that we're living in challenging times filled with social isolation, uncertainty, and loneliness. Honestly, it's no surprise that the pandemic has led to a global shift in mental health.
With so many disruptions brought on by the pandemic, Canadians are reporting more mental health-related issues and stress month over month. A *Movember study released in May 2020 showed nearly half (40%) of Canadian men say no one has asked them how they are coping during lockdown. It's safe to say that this year is proving challenging for even the most resilient among us.
Everyone has unique and nuanced experiences when it comes to issues surrounding mental health. However, men can face additional societal pressures based on existing stigmas in our society that seemingly restrict them from feeling comfortable sharing their emotions.
This November, we're tackling the stigma around men's mental health. According to that same Movember study, a third of Canadian men wouldn't feel comfortable talking about their feelings if a stressful life event occurred. Worse still, *men account for 75% of suicides in Canada.
STōK Cold Brew Canada is passionate about generating awareness around this deeply rooted societal issue and the challenges men face. This is why STōK has teamed up with Movember — the leading charity changing the face of men's health on a global scale, with a focus on mental health and suicide prevention, prostate cancer and testicular cancer.
This November, STōK has partnered with Movember to develop a video series that fuels the conversation and destigmatizes men's mental health, by inspiring Canadians to open up. The videos feature two notable Canadian entrepreneurs — chef Sean MacDonald and YouTuber Trey Richards.
To keep the conversation going about the mental health of Canadian men, we spoke with Trey and Sean to learn more about their experiences and why they are so passionate about the STōK and Movember partnership.
Sean, the owner of ēst, a modern, minimalist restaurant in Toronto, tells us how he stays positive while being a busy entrepreneur.
Trey, a comedian, podcaster, and business owner, shares how staying honest keeps him on the path to comedy gold.
You're both the definition of a hustler. Can you tell us about how you got here and what you're doing?
Sean: I've always been motivated and hard on myself to reach my goals. I always wanted to open a restaurant at a certain age, and I did. Then COVID hit. Once we were able to open the patios, we were full every night. I had a chef friend visiting from Calgary and began doing collaborations with chefs from all over. I tried to build a sense of community and help us cross-promote each other during the pandemic.
Trey: Honestly, I don't know how I got here *laughs*. Throughout our lives, my brother and I have had fun figuring out what we like to create and what we don't. Just trial and error along the way. Eventually our work got to a point where we had developed a specific style of editing and comedy, and our fans found us, so we ran with it.
How do you manage the excitement and stress that comes with being an entrepreneur and a public figure?
Sean: There's a shift in mindset that comes with being an executive and entrepreneur. There's a lot of pressure, and I haven't been the best at managing that in the pandemic, but as a leader, I've been figuring out ways to keep myself and my staff and business surviving. I realized that it's very important for me to work out and eat healthily — it's good for my state of mind and helps me stay positive. You need to have some release.
Trey: I'm a super chill guy, so the excitement and stress doesn't always get to me, but when it does I be myself and stay with my friends. I feel like if you have a tight circle around you, and people that know you, they treat you for you. They keep me in check.
What do you have to say to folks who say real men don't have emotions?
Sean: I can vouch that real men do have emotions. I think everyone needs to be true to who they are and express themselves however they feel necessary and [in the way that] feels comfortable for them.
Trey: Yo, grow up, you know? I say grow up and get with the times, that's such an old school way of thinking that men don't have emotions or men can't cry. There's such a mob mentality when it comes to masculinity but don't be afraid to be the odd one out.
Do you think you would be in the same place today without managing your mental health?
Sean: I wouldn't be, for sure. For me, it's about staying as positive as I can and doing the best I can. I think social media is a tough thing for a lot of people; it has a lot of positives and a lot of negatives. Don't be too focused on that. I remember being a kid and going outside and playing all summer, and I can't imagine being a kid today worried about how many followers I have. I don't think that was the goal for the platforms. It's about balance.
Trey: Oh no. Definitely not. Definitely not. Without managing my mental health, I would have burned a lot of bridges just dealing with things that I was dealing with personally. If I weren't open or talking about my mental health — I don't know where I'd be, to be honest. But I know it's normal to struggle with managing mental health, so when I see friends or people going through things, I'm like, "Hey, I'm not going to take that personally."
SToK Cold Brew (shot at Movember House)
What do you think of the stigma around men discussing their mental health?
Sean: The Movember video is the first time I'd opened up to the public about my mental health and whatnot. My close friends know what's going on in my life, and when I need someone to talk to, I go to my parents. I think there's a stigma that men have to be strong — people in general — especially with social media. People post when they're happy, so I think it's important for individuals to not mask emotions and speak openly. Say how you're feeling — people can help you out. We're all in this together. Humans are on this earth to care for each other and be there for each other.
Trey: Yo, honestly, I'm Jamaican and Colombian and I grew up in a tough household where it wasn't always easy to show emotions, but as a kid I was very emotional and very loud and upfront about my emotions. I couldn't help it. My dad was very tough on us saying "be a man, be a man." My mom was the same way, "stop being a baby," and I was like, "but I am a baby and I'm kind of sad right now," you know? Being vocal about my emotions helped to break the stigma for me personally and I encourage other men to do the same.
What tools/advice would you give to your younger self?
Sean: I wish I hadn't put so much pressure on myself. Of course, a little pressure got me to where I am. Be nice to others, treats others how you want to be treated. I feel like positive things attract positive things.
Trey: I think I had tools and support at a young age, to be honest. I was dealing with a lot in high school, but my friends didn't allow me to be alone with my emotions, someone would always ask me if I was good. I wouldn't change much, to be honest, just probably read some more books back in the day. *laughs*
What about the Movember movement inspired you to get involved?
Sean: I always used to grow a moustache for Movember — bleaching it blonde, growing weird moustaches for fun — and then I realized what they'd been doing to support cancer research. I think it's amazing that their main cause is now mental health because I think people are finally saying "Hey, mental health is a real issue, and we need to find ways to help people." Maybe someone will see my involvement and see they're not alone in this.
Trey: I just want to be the change that I want to see. It's one thing to say things and it's another to take action. I just want to encourage people if they're going through something, to not be afraid to speak up and step forward. When the opportunity to partner with Movember came up, I was going through a lot, too, with COVID, and there's a lot going on in the world, and it was the perfect time to come out and say "this is how I feel and it's okay to talk and be open."
Wondering how you can be a good mental health advocate for yourself, your friends, and the men in your life? Try using the ALEC acronym: Ask, Listen, Encourage Action, Check-In. Or, try Movember Conversations – a free, interactive digital tool (available in English and French) that uses simulated conversations to explore and practice how anyone might navigate a difficult conversation with someone they care about
Talking about your emotions doesn't make you "less of a man." It can help you to be a better man, a leader, someone who's willing to start an important conversation and encourage others to follow. This year, while growing your Mo and sipping on a STōK Cold Brew Coffee, check in with your pals and Stōk up a conversation. Together, we can change the face of men's health.
If you're looking for support for yourself or a pal and don't know where to start, Movember can help.
Join the conversation and support the cause by using the hashtags #SToKCanada and #Movember. Learn how to give back on the Movember website, or give them a follow on Instagram or Facebook. For more details about STōK Cold Brew, check out their website or follow them on Instagram and Facebook as well.
*A survey carried out by the Social Research Centre (and commissioned by Movember) through an online panel with 5,737 people aged 18 or older across the UK, US, Canada and Australia (approximately 1,430 respondents in each country). This included 809 men in the UK, 804 men in the US, 794 men in Canada and 806 men in Australia. Response quotas were set based on age, region and gender and the final data were weighted to reflect the profiles of each country. Fieldwork ran from 22 April – 4 May 2020.
If you or anyone you know is struggling with thoughts of harming themselves, please reach out to a trusted peer, parent or health care professional. You can also contact a helpline which is available 24-hours a day to talk. Or click here, for additional support resources. If you need immediate assistance, please call 9-1-1 or go to your nearest hospital. Support is available.

Poland convicts former gov't employee of spying for Russia
WARSAW, POLAND —
A Polish court has convicted a former government employee on charges of spying for Russia and sentenced him to three years in prison.
The man identified only as Marek W. was arrested in early 2018 on charges of passing classified information on the energy sector to the Russian military intelligence GRU between 2015 and 2016. He was then an employee of the Economy Ministry.
The District Court in Warsaw said Friday it found the man guilty and handed him a prison term. The verdict is subject to appeal.
At time of the arrest Polish media said the man informed Moscow on Poland's steps at cutting its dependence on Russian gas imports and on countering the Nord Stream 2 pipeline that is to bring Russian gas directly to Western Europe.

The patriarchy is also ruining web comics
Ignorance really is bliss, amirite?
It's amazing how many things I like (or used to like) that have been ruined for me by the patriarchy. Once your eyes are opened to all the casual misogyny and sexism that's made its way into everyday life — well, it's hard to look the other way. (I know — I threw up in my mouth a little reading that, too.)
But seriously. I mean, really, patriarchy? In addition to ensuring I'll probably never make as much money as a dude with the same job and being all up in my lady biz all the time, you have to go and ruin movies, TV and Internet comics too? IS NOTHING SACRED!?
This column is in response to The Oatmeal and a now-infamous comic strip it ran titled The Delicate Relationship I Have With My Keyboard. The final panel read: "Every time the Internet does not perform as expected, I rape the shit out of my F5 key," along with an illustration of a little F5 key running away, crying. GET IT!? HAHAHA.
The offending panel — as well as the defensive (OF COURSE) non-apology that came along with it — has since been removed by site creator Matthew Inman and an incrementally better apology has since been put up in its place. You can read more about it here. http://www.salon.com/2012/12/10/the_oatmeal_makes_a_rape_joke_internet_fails_to_laugh/singleton/
Because it's probably going to come up — and because Inman broke it out — allow me to briefly address the WAH! CENSORSHIP! thing: I happen to think it's entirely OK for comedians to tackle the subject of rape so long as the joke makes a broader comment on the world in which we live without making the victim the punch line. As Jezebel columnist Lindy West wrote in a brill piece entitled How To Write a Rape Joke, "the best comics use their art to call bullshit on those terrible parts of life and make them better, not worse." In other words, COMMENT on rape culture, don't CONTRIBUTE to it by referring to your F5 KEY as a rape victim. THE END.
Anyway, I used to really enjoy The Oatmeal and now I don't know how to feel about it. Like so many things. You're just sitting there, minding your own business, enjoying a sitcom or whatever and things are going great… UNTIL SEXISM. It's always so disappointing — especially when it's unnecessary.
Isn't ALL sexism unnecessary, you ask? (FYI: You asked so I could make a lazy transition.) See, like a well-written rape joke, sexism can serve a purpose by commenting on/opening up a discussion about a patriarchal society as a whole. For example, women are treated horribly on three of my all-time favourite shows: The Sopranos, Boardwalk Empire and Mad Men. But here's the thing: I expect to see sexism in shows about gangsters, who operate in a culture in which women are dutiful wives who spend a lot of time looking the other way. I expect to see sexism in a show about the 1950s/'60s because, SPOILER ALERT, I hear the 1950s/'60s were sexist. And yet, these three shows also have powerful, complicated and, I'd argue, feminist female leads — Carmela Soprano (Edie Falco), Margaret Thompson (Kelly MacDonald) and Peggy Olson (Elisabeth Moss), respectively — who make me want to stand up and cheer. These shows offer portraits of smart women who struggled because of the realities they live in — and manage to survive despite them.
And then there are other shows that are just sexist BECAUSE SOCIETY, which is why I have a really complicated viewing relationship with The Newsroom — which is not, in fact, a 1940s period piece about fast-talking old-tymey newsmen. I KNOW! There's a fundamental difference between portraying sexism and just being sexist.*
I'm a fan of Aaron Sorkin's. I love Studio 60 and The West Wing; Allison Janney's C.J. Cregg is another female lead to be proud of. I wanted so very much to enjoy his new show, but I just can't see past the sexism. The ladies on that show, despite being played by gifted actors, are relegated to weaksauce, hysterical caricatures that, among other annoyances, almost always defer to the male characters. Because, you know, WOMEN CAN'T MAKE DECISIONS BECAUSE HAVING PERIODS MAKES YOU STUPID. Also, it's newsMEN, stupids. Stop playing reporter and go make a sandwich.
This kind of writing certainly speaks VOLUMES about the terrible parts of society, but it's not calling bullshit on them. Sort of like that shitty rape joke in The Oatmeal. It's sad when smart people have so little to say.

*In the interest of fairness, I will say The Newsroom came oh-so-close to commenting on sexism in a valuable way with a narrative involving Olivia Munn's character Sloan Sabbith. But then the whole thing was ruined when the character — a whipsmart business reporter who holds a PhD in economics — just cared about what people thought about the size of her ass. Because really, deep down, that's all us ladiez care about.

#SouthernCharm: Lawsuit Rumors Rock Reality Drama
Thomas Ravenel is back in the crosshairs …
by FITSNews July 13, 2018 July 20, 2018 041

As our intrepid guest columnist Amy Feinstein noted in reviewing the fifth season finale of Bravo TV's Southern Charm, it's been difficult keeping the on-screen drama separate from the off-screen drama.
Of course regular readers of this news site know that's par for the course with this show …
On-screen, we know the show's male lead – former South Carolina treasurer Thomas Ravenel – appears to have bitten off more than he can chew with his latest girlfriend, Ashley Jacobs. We also know the show's female lead (and the mother of two children with Ravenel) – diva Kathryn Dennis – is currently in the midst of a career renaissance, including being embraced by the show's grand dame, former Ravenel ally Patricia Altschul.
Clearly things aren't going so well for "T-Rav" on-screen, but that's not where his real problems lie …
Off-screen, Ravenel is staring down the business end of a criminal investigation into multiple allegations of sexual assault. He's also said to be dealing with some issues over an alleged sex tape – reportedly telling several of his intimates that he is being threatened by a yet-to-be-identified blackmailer.
The guy has a lot on his plate, in other words …
Unfortunately for him, his plate is about to get even more full …

(SPONSORED CONTENT – STORY CONTINUES BELOW)
[/timed-content-server]
According to our sources, Ravenel, his new girlfriend and All About The Tea – a website that essentially serves as Ravenel's mouthpiece – are ensnared in a new legal action related to the Charleston, S.C.-based reality show.
Details of this legal action weren't immediately available, but we're told the case was initiated by 37-year-old Luzanne Otte – a California lawyer who briefly dated Ravenel and was offered a role on Southern Charm (which she declined).
Since breaking things off with Ravenel, Otte has been the subject of a relentless smear campaign – and according to our sources she has finally had enough of it.
Otte wasn't immediately available for comment, but we are reaching out to the prominent Atlanta, Georgia-based law firm she reportedly retained in the matter.
Stay tuned …
UPDATE: Feinstein has additional details on the case in her post. According to her, Otte has retained the services of Atlanta-based attorney L. Lin Wood, who has represented Dr. Phil and the family of JonBenet Ramsey. Wood also represented Richard Jewell, the security guard who was falsely implicated in the 1996 Centennial Olympic Park bombing.

Amy Feinstein's Southern Charm Recap: Pretty Woman Edition


Today, the Michigan Supreme Court will review several administrative orders -- a full day of business for the seven justices fine-tuning how state courts should be run.
One of the orders is about proposed guidelines for when state judges and justices should step down from hearing a case because of bias or perceived bias on their part due to the judge's or justice's connection to parties in the legal case.
It may seem like a pretty clear-cut discussion, but it's one all Michigan residents should be following to assure that our court system remains impartial.
In June, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a West Virginia case called Caperton v. Massey Coal Company, that it is unconstitutional for a judge to rule in a case involving a major campaign contributor.
In the Caperton case, the judge refused to step down from an appeal of a $50 million jury verdict even though the CEO of Massey Coal had spent $3 million -- more than 60 percent of the total -- supporting his campaign for appeals court. The judge cast the deciding vote in the 3-2 decision overturning the verdict.
Why is this important? Because more and more money is being spent on judicial campaigns in Michigan and across the country. Since 2000, more than $30 million has been spent in the state's judicial campaigns. In the 2008 campaign, $7.5 million was spent on campaign ads to elect justices.
Many of those ads were "issue" ads looking at a candidate's background that do not fall under Michigan's campaign finance reporting laws. That means no one knows who paid for the ads. This problem also would need to be addressed so that the judge and the public knows who contributed to these ads.
Michigan Justice Robert Young is quoted as saying before his first campaign in 2000, "My advisers tell me I'll have to raise $1 million or more to run a Supreme Court race. How can this not be a problem? The public has a right to ask: 'If you have to raise $1 million, can you really be impartial?'"
The current rules in the Michigan Code of Judicial Conduct require judges to "raise the issue of disqualification whenever the judge has cause to believe that grounds for disqualification may exist." And that rule has been applied mainly if the case would have a direct effect on a judge's finances or one of the participants in the case is a close relative.
But, stepping down because of the appearance of bias, even though there is no actual bias or the issue of campaign contributors has not been addressed. It needs to be done.
Opponents believe new requirements for stepping down from cases will waste judges' time, especially if they are required to offer a written explanation why they are or aren't recusing themselves. Others think it will bring unfounded charges of bias against judges, further clogging the system.
But that is a small price to pay to assure that Michigan citizens are getting the fairest treatment possible.
It's the best way for the courts to build public trust -- by assuring Michigan citizens that their courts will be fair and impartial, in fact and appearance.
