7 ways to sell US arms abroad without losing your soul

America's military might, technology, and diplomacy must support human rights and the rule of law around the world—not undermine them.
For more than four years and under the last two administrations, the US has sold the bombs most responsible for killing civilians and destroying critical infrastructure in Yemen, the world's largest humanitarian crisis. While opposition from Congress has mounted over time—culminating in the adoption of 22 resolutions of disapproval of arms sales to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates earlier this year—President Trump vetoed all of them.
As of this writing, these weapons of war are on track for delivery to further inflame the conflict. Sales of rocket launchers and attack helicopters to the government of Bahrain as well as Super Tucano aircraft to the government of Nigeria have raised similar concerns, yet to much disappointment, the sales move forward.
For whoever is elected President in 2020, the sale of arms abroad is a moral dilemma requiring values-driven leadership and an opportunity to enhance respect for human rights across the globe. The US currently accounts for more than one-third of the total international arms export market. And over half of US arms sales in the past five years have gone to the Middle East, driving conflict and enabling human rights abuses.
Here are seven actions the next President can take to defend human rights and equality and take steps to ensure Dignity for All.
1. Reverse President Trump's guardrail-free arms transfer policy and strengthen existing human rights protections
The president's policy memorandum of April 18, 2018 makes clear that US arms sales should be viewed first and foremost as a cash cow—generating huge revenues for the American arms industry—and that American diplomats should be in the business of helping to sell them. Upholding human rights was relegated to marginal status.
The next President should not only reverse this memorandum, but make human rights a top consideration in conventional arms transfer policy. Specifically, arms sales should be barred when there is a substantial risk of being used in serious violations of international humanitarian and human rights law.
2. Keep arms lobbyists and executives out of the administration
My colleagues warned about the concentration of power in large multinational corporations. Nowhere is this more true than in arms export policy.
As a recent report from the Center for International Policy has noted, the primary beneficiaries of the arms trade are the same corporations whose former officials now populate key national security positions in in the US government. Over the past decade, 90 percent of the $125 billion in US arms offers to Saudi Arabia involved one of four companies: Raytheon, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and General Dynamics.
3. Strengthen end use monitoring
Under US law, the government must ensure that buyers use US weapons properly. In practice, this usually involves checking to see that weapons are stored and maintained in appropriate ways. Important prohibitions on using US-made weapons in human rights or international humanitarian law violations and transferring them to third parties are essentially not enforced.
In Yemen, US manufactured precision-guided munitions routinely destroy hospitals, schools, markets, roads, and other objects without a military purpose—all without any consequences. With Great Power, a must-read on this subject published by the Stimson Center and CIVIC, goes into greater detail.
4. Link training with arms sales
Another recommendation from With Great Power, this one is a no-brainer. Want to buy US weapons? Learn how to use them first—particularly in ways that comply with international humanitarian law.
5. Formalize approvals and dissent—giving a voice to USAID
Also a With Great Power recommendation (seriously, just read the whole report): every arms sale should be formally approved in writing by the officials in charge of the process. State and Defense Department officials with concerns about these sales—including those responsible for human rights—should be empowered to document their views in writing to Congress.
Additionally, the Administrator of USAID should be afforded this opportunity as well, particularly since the Foreign Assistance Act prohibits arms sales to countries that are impeding US-funded humanitarian assistance.
6. Give Congress a stronger hand
The US should only allow arms sales when those sales unquestionably support US interests and are in line with US values. Congress can block arms sales, but only with broad bipartisan majorities; even then a President who is determined to force through a sale can abuse emergency provisions of the Arms Export Control Act.
The next President should welcome greater Congressional involvement in arms export approvals by requiring an affirmative act of Congress to process most sales. That may sound onerous in a relatively dysfunctional Congress, but for the vast majority of sales that are uncontroversial, moving resolutions through Congress on voice votes or by unanimous consent would be quick—as quick as the many bills passed each year to rename post offices, police stations, and government office buildings.
7. Add the Arms Trade Treaty to the Treaty Priority List, the administration's treaty ratification wish list
It's no secret that the Senate is where multilateral treaties go to die. As of last year, the Trump administration hadn't submitted a Treaty Priority List in the first place. But even if the Senate doesn't approve the Arms Trade Treaty, the next President's recommendation sends an important signal that the US is still committed to regulating the illicit arms trade and stopping weapons from being used in mass atrocities.

Why were Reflekt and UltraMatte selected?
Selected for its impeccable surface quality, depth of color, and unmatched durability that a high-end application like this requires.
What design or technical issue was addressed by the Premier EuroCase product?
Allowed for a full range of complimentary panels (both Reflekt high gloss and UltraMatte) to be used seamlessly with CC's in house proprietary TFL color palette to bring new and previously unachievable design options to clientele.
Designer Phong Nguyen mentioned that, "The use of Reflekt High Gloss and UltraMatte Black in the same space, along with our textured Black Edgewood Nero TFL, has allowed us to create a downtown showroom second to none. Three black options with different sheens, texture, and depth all working together beautifully in one space. The interest our Granville Showroom has gained with these products is astounding."


The eighteenth century was an era when brave mariners took their ships beyond the horizon in search of an unknown world. Those chosen to lead these expeditions were exceptional navigators, men who had shown brilliance as they ascended the ranks in the Royal Navy. They were also bloody good sailors.From ship's boy to vice-admiral, discover how much more there was to Captain Bligh than his infamous bad temper. Meet a 24-year-old Master Bligh as he witnesses the demise of his Captain and mentor Cook; a 34-year-old Lieutenant Bligh at the helm of the famous Bounty then cast adrift by Fletcher Christian on an epic 47-day open-boat voyage from Tonga to Timor; and a 36-year-old Captain Bligh as he takes HMS Providence, in the company of a young Matthew Flinders, on a grand scientific voyage around the world. And all this before he was forty. Rob Mundle's BLIGH puts you at the heart of a great nautical life – it's a story that embraces the romance of the sea, bravery in battle, the adventure of exploration under sail and the cost of having the courage of your convictions.

Aussies start well, Thomas leads PGA event
Camera IconJason Day and Adam Scott have had mixed days at the PGA tour event in South Korea.
Justin Thomas had two eagles on his front nine and finished with a nine-under-par 63 to take the first-round lead at the CJ Cup at Nine Bridges, the first PGA Tour tournament staged in South Korea.
Marc Leishman was the best-placed Australian after the opening round and the 33-year-old was tied for second after a six-under round of 66.
Chez Reavie, Gavin Kyle Green, Scott Brown and Patrick Reed shared second with the Victorian.
Jason Day and Rod Pampling were at four under in a share for 12th, one stroke ahead of Pat Perez, who was coming off a victory at last week's CIMB Classic in Malaysia.
Adam Scott was at even par after an opening round containing four birdies and four bogeys. Cameron Smith carded a three-under 69, while Ryan Ruffels returned a three-over 75.
Thomas started with a bogey at 10 but made amends with eagles on the par-5 12th and 18th holes and four-straight birdies from 14 to 17 to turn in 29.
He had three more birdies and a bogey that gave him a three-stroke cushion toward the end of the round.
"It was kind of a weird day," Thomas said. "It started off with a really, really bad bogey. And then I had a seven-hole stretch there where I basically kind of went unconscious. That was pretty much most of my round."
Thomas, having won the CIMB Classic in 2015 and 2016, says he is comfortable playing overseas.
"It's still golf," Thomas said. "It doesn't matter where you are and I know that it is very cliched and easier said than done but you just have to take advantage of the rest and time you have off the course."

Europejska Nagroda Filmowa (ENF) (ang. The European Film Awards) – najbardziej prestiżowa nagroda przyznawana europejskim filmom. Odpowiednik amerykańskiego Oscara, przyznawany przez członków Europejskiej Akademii Filmowej, której pierwszym laureatem był Krzysztof Kieślowski. Nagroda przyznawana w dziesięciu kategoriach, z których najważniejsza to Film Roku.
W latach 1988–1996 laureaci otrzymywali statuetkę Felixa. Od 1997 wręczana jest nowa, bezimienna jak dotąd, statuetka, nazywana po prostu Europejską Nagrodą Filmową. Ceremonię transmitują oprócz krajów ośrodków telewizyjnych z Europy, także z USA, Ameryki Łacińskiej i Nowej Zelandii.

Co drugi rok (w lata nieparzyste) nagrody są wręczane w Berlinie, gdzie ma swoją siedzibę Europejska Akademia Filmowa. W latach parzystych ceremonie wręczenia Nagród odbywają się w dużych miastach europejskich.

The Brasserie at the Mercure Norwich Hotel
Boundary Road, Norwich, NR3 2BA
Overnight guests and hungry visitors alike are invited to enjoy a drink in the comfort of the Oast Bar before partaking in some scrumptious fare at one of the finest restaurants Tunbridge Wells has to offer. The Brasserie at the Mercure Norwich promises mouth-watering dishes that have been made using the very best and freshest locally sourced ingredients; each of which have been known to feature on any from an exciting range of menu options, including their Chef's Menu featuring special signature dishes. All of such helps to make it a firm favourite with locals and tourists alike.
Please note: The restaurant is still temporarily closed. The page will be updated once it has re-opened. Celebration days are excluded from the tastecard offer.
The Brasserie Menu is sure to appeal to every taste. From their Chef's Signature Dishes to Sharing Plates & Nibbles, it's fit to cater to one and all. This is particularly apparent when considering their sizzling hot From the Grill options and other enticing numbers, any of which can be perfectly accompanied by a glass of wine or any of their speciality beers. Although whatever the desire, any meal is to be enhanced for tastecard members, thanks to the superb restaurant discounts available to them.
Lesley:"Beautiful Lovely food and service"
Simon: "	Despite it being a Saturday evening for our visit, it was very quiet so there was no atmosphere in the Brasserie dining room.
The waiters must have been busy elsewhere, because apart from taking our order and bringing our meals they were nowhere to be seen.
The soup was lovely, but our mains were not the best, probably due to the esoteric choices available; they're not into serving vegetables, unusually.
There was also an unexpected Service Charge added to our bill. This has been wrongly calculated, so we did our own calculation rounded down. They patronisingly said that "they would accept £30 on this occasion." As we weren't obliged to pay this Service Charge, there may not be another occasion."
Sam: "	Yep"
Sam: "	Yer"
Raymond: "	Good service and excellent food"


It's Christmas Eve, December 24.and I'm sitting at home on my couch listening to Christmas music, snug and warm in my Mongolian camel wool shawl with a Mongolian yak cashmere scarf round my neck.
In the 2015 blog, I mentioned I had rented a little apartment in East Boston. I had fallen in love with the Jeffries Point neighborhood right on Boston Harbor and had a great view of the downtown Boston skyline all aglow at night. And I was right across the street from Piers Park where I could watch all the ships and boats coming and going: sail boats big and small, giant tanker ships carrying oil, tugboats guiding them along, water taxis scampering about, tour boats heading in and out and up and down the coast. I considered moving to Eastie (as we call it) but I did keep my Marblehead home and would drive back and forth every few days (it's about a 40-minute drive).
I came to love Eastie and its ethnic diversity and took every advantage to become involved in the community — going to all kinds of local events and volunteering in various ways. Everywhere I turned I met interesting people — local shop keepers, local politicians,, local environmental activists and my neighbors — and we all became friends.
The main thing I got involved with is called Eastie Farm, started not long before I arrived in East Boston. This is a grassroots effort by locals who enjoy gardening and wanted to grow food as a community while being eco-friendly. It began in a vacant lot where a house had been condemned and torn down. It is located between two 3-story residential homes. Gradually, the soil is being decontaminated but for now everything that is going to be eaten is grown in raised beds. 2016 was its fourth season growing tomatoes, carrots, kale, squash, lots of herbs, and other things. Anyone can come in and harvest the vegetables and fruits and we also give to local food kitchens. It has been a wonderful project to be a part of and I look forward to continuing my involvement in 2018.
At the end of my year's lease (October 2016) in Eastie, I did not renew the lease and so when I came back to Marblehead full time, I became involved locally again— the League of Women Voters, the Recycling Committee, the Fair Housing Committee. And most important, the Marblehead Racial Justice Team. Suffice it to say for now, there is much work to be done.
And of course, I keep in touch with my Mongolian friends. I went back for my annual visit last summer (2017) and stayed about a month with a few days in UB and a couple of weeks in Muron and out at a friend's ger camp just east of Muron. I love spending time with my Mongolian friends and helping out in small ways in the community. People I knew when they were single back in 2008 are now married and have children. Surely Mongolian children are the most adorable children in the world! Yes, things have changed over the years — more access to the internet, more cars, a few more paved roads, more supermarkets. But overall it is the town and the people I loved when I first arrived.
Before I close this blog, I will have to mention the changes in my own country over the past year. I will just say briefly I do not support the current president in any way. I marched in the Women's March shortly after inauguration in January. And I do everything I can to support organizations that are standing up for the highest principles and supportive of social justice issues.
So, in closing, I wish you all a new year filled with opportunities to reach out and love and support your fellow man in any way you can. The photo here is of my standing on mirror smooth ice on the pond near my house. Take it as my New Year's greeting.

Bernie Sanders Duped in Sacha Baron Cohen Interview on 'Who Is America?' Premiere
By Janice Williams On 7/16/18 at 12:02 PM EDT
Culture Bernie Sanders Sacha baron cohen Showtime Premiere
Senator Bernie Sanders was duped into an interview with Sacha Baron Cohen—or, rather, Cohen's Who Is America? character, Billy Wayne Ruddick Jr., Ph.D.—for the premiere episode of his new Showtime series on Sunday.
Unaware that he was being pranked for a television show, Sanders engaged with Ruddick, a right-wing conspiracy theorist, on topics such as universal health care and income inequality.
Ruddick struggled to understand why Sanders was so concerned that all Americans, not just the most affluent, should have access to health care. He claimed he was "a healthy man" before he was forced to choose a doctor under Obamacare.
He also couldn't wrap his head around the concept of the richest 1 percent of Americans. "If you believe in equality, why not have 100 percent of the people in the one percent?" Ruddick suggested.
When Ruddick shared a nonsensical chart to try to explain how the 99 percent could be moved into the 1 percent, a visibly frustrated Sanders attempted to explain income inequality. "Billy," Sanders finally said, "I don't know what you're talking about. I really don't."
Ruddick is one of four characters Cohen created for the new seven-episode series. In an interview that has yet to air, Cohen tricked former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin into a discussion with Ruddick about military servicemen. An outraged Palin bashed the comedian in a Facebook post on July 10, after she discovered the ruse.
Cohen is no stranger to the controversy his deceptive interviews stir up. Who Is America? is the provocateur's first television series since 2004, when Da Ali G Show went off the air.
The premiere episode on Sunday featured interviews with several Republicans and gun rights advocates, during which Republican Representatives Joe Wilson and Dana Rohrabacher supported another Cohen character's proposal to arm young children with guns to combat school shootings in the U.S.

Everyone was friendly and professional. I spoke with Lee in the office numerous times and she was always pleasant and accommodating. Jason Rihn was obviously knowledgeable and was thorough in his inspection. He was patient in explaining his recommendations for my trees. Cecil and his crew who did the job were exceptional in their abilities. They did an outstanding job with complete clean-up of all debris. A job well done. I am very pleased with every aspect of having dealt with your company.
Great service. I am always kept informed.
It was so nice to have knowledgeable workers on the job. They knew what to do and stayed on task the entire time.
Very responsive to my questions.
Very knowledgeable and professional. Scheduling and work was completed in a timely manner.
Jason Rihn is very personable and explains the problem and how it will be addressed. I appreciate his expertise.
George Blair and his crew were extremely knowledgeable and acted in a very professional manner while performing business at my home. Jason is a very knowledgeable and professional representative for the company. I feel very comfortable with having the Bartlett Company on my premises.
After six years my little dwarf pear trees are blooming! So thank you very much. I may get pears this year.
Top notch on all counts. Jason was very informative about how our tree should be pruned and kept healthy. He kept me well informed about when the work would be done when there were some adverse weather conditions. The crew was friendly and efficient. They cleaned up thoroughly.
The men who pruned my tree were very nice. They cleaned after the work was done, and our yard looked nicer when they left than when they came. This is the kind of quality service that prove your guys are a cut above the rest.
The crew did a really nice job despite the weather. They took their time shaping my tree and were very careful. I was also happy to know that you thought my hemlocks were looking good.

Q: GLX extension missing, need NVIDIA drivers, login loop I promise this is not a duplicate question.
I'm running Ubuntu 14.04LTS, on a custom-built desktop with an NVIDIA GTX 970 GPU.
Since installing Ubuntu the second time (long story involving windows 10 breaking grub), I couldn't access the "Display" section of system settings at all. The default drivers would not allow me to use both of my monitors. Two days ago, I followed this fix (the one with 50+ votes), which requires the installation of NVIDIA drivers. Until now I could log in just fine with the proprietary drivers (I restarted and switched to Windows a couple of times), but now Ubuntu is entering a login loop whenever I try to start up. I checked this thread for a solution and tried pretty much every suggestion there. What I found was that there was indeed an error in xsession-errors, but it wasn't related to a sytnax error in .profile or .bash_profile, it was the following:

Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0".

and then several statements about things being terminated. I checked this thread for that error, and it said the only way to fix it was to remove the nvidia drivers. But, I need the nvidia drivers for my original problem with dual monitors. I seem to be in a loop.
So, the question is: Does anyone know of a workaround I could use to get both monitors working without the nvidia drivers which subsequently cause a login loop? It seems almost unbelievable that this would not be possible.

A: Okay, I got it figured out. This is a touch embarrassing, as it's kind of obvious. If you run into the same problem as me, be absolutely sure that you saved xorg.conf with the line:
sudo nvidia-xconfig

Besides that, if you're having trouble with dual monitors / drivers in Ubuntu, you can follow pretty much exactly the steps outlined in the question. Hope this helps somebody else!

Concentrating on current emblem trends is much like placing a sell-by date on the emblem.
Trends (whether swooshes, glows or bevels) appear and disappear and eventually become cliches. A properly-designed emblem ought to be timeless, which is achieved by ignoring the most recent design methods and gimmicks. The greatest cliche in emblem design may be the dreaded "corporate swoosh," that is the simplest way to be cautious. Like a emblem designer, your work is to produce a unique identity for the client, so completely ignoring emblem design trends is better.
Emblem Online Pros7 includes a great section on its website that updates current emblem design trends each year. Knowing like a designer from the latest crazes is essential, mainly to be able to prevent them no matter what.
A good example of how raster graphics can limit reproduction.
Standard practice when making a emblem would be to use vector graphics software, for example Adobe Illustrator or Corel Draw. A vector graphic consists of in past statistics precise points, which ensures visual consistency across multiple sizes. The choice, obviously, is use to raster graphics software, for example Adobe Illustrator. A raster graphic — or bitmap, as it's generally known as — includes pixels.
Using raster images for logos isn't advisable because it may cause issues with reproduction. While Illustrator is capable of doing creating large logos, who knows without a doubt what size you'll have to reproduce your emblem sooner or later. Should you focus enough on the raster graphic, it'll appear pixelated, which makes it unusable. Maintaining visual consistency8 by looking into making sure the emblem looks exactly the same in most sizes is important.
The emblem could be scaled to the size without losing quality.
Editing the emblem afterwards is a lot simpler.
It may be adapted with other media easier than the usual raster image.
Using stock vector graphics inside a emblem puts the consumer in danger.
This error is frequently produced by business proprietors who design their very own emblem or by amateur designers who aren't clued to the laws and regulations on copyright. Installing stock vector imagery from websites for example VectorStock9 isn't a crime, but it could actually enable you to get in danger should you incorporate it inside a emblem.
A emblem ought to be unique and original, and also the licensing agreement ought to be only at the customer: using stock art breaks these two rules. Odds are, if you work with a regular vector image, it's also getting used by someone elsewhere on the planet, so yours is not unique. You are able to pretty easily place stock vectors in logos since they're usually familiar shapes, for example globes and silhouettes.
Never impose your personal personality onto a client's work.
You are able to frequently place this emblem design crime miles away the reason is generally a designer's enormous ego. For those who have found a awesome new font that you simply can't wait to make use of inside a design, well… don't. Consider if that font is really suitable for the company you're designing for? For instance, an excellent modern typographic font that you simply love isn't likely suitable for a significant business like a lawyer's office.
Some designers also result in the mistake of together with a "trademark" within their work. While you ought to be happy with your projects, imposing your personality onto a emblem is wrong. Remain focused around the client's needs by sticking with the brief.
Highly detailed designs don't scale well when printed or viewed in smaller sized sizes.
Selection example for thumbnail images than fingerprints? You'll spot the intricacies of the fingerprints only if searching their way really close-up. Once you move away, individuals facts are lost. This goes true for highly detailed emblem designs.
When printed in smaller portions, an intricate design will forfeit detail and perhaps may be like a smudge or, worse, an error. The greater detail a emblem has, the greater information the viewer needs to process. A emblem ought to be memorable, and among the best ways to really make it memorable would be to keep things simple. Consider the corporate identities of Nike, McDonald's and Apple. Each company has a simple icon that may be easily reproduced at any size.
Clear, your great design may lose its identity.
This is a type of mistake. Some designers cannot wait to include color to some design, and a few depend onto it completely. Selecting color10 ought to be your last decision, so beginning your projects in black and white-colored is better.
Watch owner will have to display their emblem in just one color at some point, therefore the designer should test to determine whether this could modify the logo's identity. If you are using color to assist distinguish certain elements within the design, then your emblem will appear different in a single tone.
Font choice could make or break a emblem.
With regards to executing a emblem, selecting the best font is an essential decision11 an artist could make. Generally, a emblem fails due to a poor font choice (our example shows the infamous Comic Sans).
Locating the perfect font for the design is about matching the font to design for the icon. But this is often tricky. When the match is simply too close, the icon and font will contend with one another for attention when the opposite, then your viewer won't know where you can focus. The bottom line is choosing the best balance, somewhere in the centre. Every typeface includes a personality. When the font you've selected doesn't reflect the icon's characteristics, then your whole message of the trademark will misfire.
Bad fonts are frequently selected due to the fact the choice isn't given serious attention enough. Some designers simply toss in type being an afterthought. Professional font foundries, for example MyFonts12 and FontFont13, offer far better typeface options than individuals over-used websites that provide free downloads.
A emblem is most effective with no more than two fonts.
Using a lot of fonts is much like attempting to show someone an entire picture album at the same time. Each typeface differs, and also the viewer needs time for you to recognize it. Seeing a lot of at the same time causes confusion.
Using no more than two fonts of various weights is standard practice. Restricting the amount of fonts for this number greatly increases the legibility of the emblem design and improves brand recognition.
This is actually the greatest emblem design mistake of and, regrettably, is becoming a lot more common. As pointed out, the objective of a emblem would be to represent a company. Whether it looks just like another person's, it's unsuccessful in that way. Copying others does nobody any favors, neither the customer nor the designer.

Q: How does "attachments" option in exextra work? I would like to know more about the attachments option in \exextra. Does this option allow the attachment(s) from students when they are submitting their answers? I could not find any worked example on this feature in http://www.r-exams.org/ or in any other sources. Many thanks!

A: We haven't advertised this option much because we hope to further improve and streamline it in the future. There is one worked example, though: http://www.R-exams.org/templates/essayreg/. Essentially all the exextra options specified in that exercise map to the corresponding options in Moodle.


The rumors surrounding the Apple's upcoming smartphone has had its round, and the restless waves have already hit the tech geeks and apple fanatics around the world. The IOS running devices from Apple launched every year comes with a unique feature and attractive design, and also manages to increase its user base, even though it carries a heavy price tag. Every new version of the apple's device contains a new fast processor and the latest camera sensor available at the time. Apple hasn't officially announced the name of its next smartphone but guessing by the name culture it usually follows, the device would be named Apple iPhone 7. Now let us get into the rumors circulating the device already.
It is said that the next version of iPhone would sport a dual lens camera. Apple phones are well known for its high-quality pictures, and the rumor regarding the dual lens camera has got all the apple fanatics excited to there. If you could recall, the iPhone 6 series was awarded the best camera smartphones available by many tech sites and photography blogs. Two different camera lenses mean two different focal lengths, which would give a lot of customizable options.
Ipad pro had the smart connector function which enabled the device to get magnetically attached to a smart keyboard. Most of us are puzzled by the purpose it would serve on a smartphone, but the rumors say smart connector would make it presence on the iPhone 7.
There could be a bigger battery, as large as a 3000 mAh one, on the Apple iPhone 7. Also, Apple has decided to eliminate the presence of headphone jack, which would give extra provision for a bigger battery. Also, if the phone comes with a higher resolution display, then it would need a bigger battery to keep it running.
There are several reports that claim that the storage option would begin from 32 GB and not 16GB. Apple might have decided to drop the idea of 16GB iPhone 7 as the storage demand has been increased. Starting from 32 GB, the storage option might go up to 256 GB! Which means extra heavy price tag for the high-end model of iPhone 7.
Apple's A10 processor might power the next version of iPhone. A10 processor is a power efficient Hexa-core processor, which could deliver higher performance compared to the previous A9 processor. Also, the device could come with a 2GB ram for the normal version, and 3GB of ram for the plus version. The combination of a powerful processor and better RAM would offer seamless performance for the users as IOS is known for its lag free and consistent performance.
For now, these rumors would have already made the apple fanboys anxious, making them expect for more until its official launch. Let's wait until September, to know if the rumors are true and if it meets the expectation of its loyal fan base.


I really really like this butter bagels so much that I'm avoiding making them since I can't have just one or two, but five. And with extra butter on the side. Or make a warm sandwich out of it with a little bit of salty butter and some nice salami. I think I know how my night is going to end. 😀 Anyways, I tried this recipe couple of times and it gives this beautiful soft, airy, fluffy, milky sweet, melts in your mouth bagel with a nice buttery kick. Smeared with home grown organic egg yolk and sprinkled with sesame, caraway or poppy seeds. Brilliant.
Warm up the milk (shouldn't be hot, just warm) and add sugar and yeast. Leave on the side to bubble away for couple of minutes.
Pour the flour into a big bowl, add the salt, the bubbly yeast and butter (room temperature), roll up your sleeves and knead a nice, soft, silky dough. Work it for some time for the butter to be evenly distributed in the dough and for the gluten web to develop.
Cover with clean tea towel and leave to proof until double in size (can take from one to two hours).
Punch out the air and knead again until you get a shape of a fat cigar. Cut it into two fingers thick slices and roll each one into a ball.
Roll out the balls into uneven circular shapes and roll like a cigar.
Place on grease proof paper (leave space between them), smear with a beaten egg yolk and sprinkle with seeds of your choice.
Bake on 180 Celsius degrees for 20 minutes, until golden.
Serve with whatever since they go with everything.


So last week I finally learned how to use a knife. Shocking, right? How have I managed to make all these recipes without a knife?
Of course we've got tons of knives at home, but I've discovered that I've just been just dicing and chopping away with them willy-nilly, without any clue as to what I'm doing. I've never claimed to be any sort of culinary professional—that's why it says "home cook" on my bio, people—but I really had no idea how bad off I was. It's like realizing you've been wearing your pants backwards for your entire life. Or driving a car for years without knowing how to signal.
So who opened my eyes to my scary lack of skills? I'd like to call her the knife fairy, but her real name is Ro. My day job allows me to work with many wonderfully talented caterers and one of my favorites, Ro Howe of Barraud Caterers, generously offered to teach me and my editor Mark some basic knife skills. We finally took her up on it a few weeks ago and spent the evening in her roomy kitchen chopping potatoes and parsley. Our efforts were pretty bad at first (I even nicked a fingernail), but eventually we learned how to handle a chef's knife with precision and confidence. Well, slightly more than we had to begin with, anyway.
Although this is a bit off-topic for this site, I wanted to share a few tips she taught us. They might save you a finger someday!
Above, Ro demonstrates how to properly hold a chef's knife. Place your thumb and index finger around the front bolster (the part of the knife between the handle and the blade), then grip the handle with the rest of your hand. Your thumb should rest on the bolster on one side, while your index finger holds it firm on the other side. It feels weird (I'm still getting used to it) but allows for greater control when you're cutting or chopping.
Before we touched a single potato, we simply practiced moving our knives up and down in a circular motion. Ro emphasized how important the correct stance is when using a knife. As a chef, she understands the fatigue that comes with repetitive activities like chopping and dicing. But even if you're just a casual cook, it's important to angle your body toward the cutting board and plant your feet firmly on the ground when using a knife.
Bring the knife down (exhibit A) and up (exhibit B) in a circular motion, keeping your wrist loose and your shoulder moving in a loose circle. Each knife stroke should be a single, fluid movement from beginning to end. Lead with the tip of your knife and slice in a circular motion down, then up. It almost felt like the motion was too big and exaggerated at first, but that's because like many inexperienced knife-users, I wasn't used to using the entire knife blade.
Here, you can see Ro's hand forming a "crab" over the potato. This is to grip the vegetable and hold it in place while still protecting her fingers from the knife blade. To do this, keep your fingers curled inward and grip the food with your fingernails, letting the blade rest against the knuckle of your middle finger (but not too close), which helps keep the blade perpendicular to the cutting board.
Then, as you slice, slowly "walk" your fingers backwards, still gripping the vegetable as you chop, but keeping your fingers away from the blade.
When chopping fresh herbs, Ro recommends first patting your leaves dry with a paper towel. It keep your finished product dry and finely chopped and prevents the herb juices from leaking out and making a mess on your cutting board.
The next step is gathering your herbs (here, parsley) into a little ball. Keep your hands in the "crab" position to hold the ball in place and protect your fingers.
Then, use your knife to mince the pile. Once you've minced it, regather the pile and rotate it to about 3:00, and re-chop. Rotate again, to 6:00, and chop. Rotate again to 9:00, and chop. Then rotate to 12:00 and chop once more. Your herbs should be very finely minced. If you want a rougher chop, just don't rotate your pile of herbs as many times.
Always hand-wash knives, storing them on your counter top (not lurking at the bottom of a sink of soapy water—danger! danger!) until they are ready to be washed. Never wash knives in the dishwasher.
Anchor your cutting board to your counter with a dish towel or piece of removable closet liner. It keeps the board from rocking or sliding, which is very dangerous.
Ro says she prefers Wusthof knives, but whatever knives you have, it's very important to keep them properly sharpened because dull knives tend to slip. She recommends taking your knives to a professional instead of sharpening them at home, which can dull the blade if done improperly.
See the knife, be the knife. Or should you be the pile of parsley?
One false move, and you could be a crab without a peencher.
For many moms, it's a common mistake that they hold the knives on the grip, and not on top of the blade.
Right Daniel. Many bloggers have pointed that out as well, even engaging their audience with a small piece of advice when cutting greens.
One of the things to avoid cutting your finger or any part of your hand is to ensure that the upper steel of the sharp blade is placed parallel to the knuckles. This will prevent cuts and other injuries. By the way, just a safety reminder, if you have other kinds of knives in the house like a buck knife or a Gerber knife, you need to store them to a place where children don't usually reach.

Przywilej bieli (, ) – tradycja, zgodnie z którą wybrane katolickie królowe, księżne i księżniczki mogą nosić białą suknię i białą mantylę podczas audiencji u papieża.

Prefektura Domu Papieskiego czasami wydaje specjalne instrukcje, kiedy ten przywilej może zostać wykorzystany, np. podczas papieskiej audiencji lub mszy inaugurującej pontyfikat.

Arystokratka zachowuje przywilej według uznania papieża, pod warunkiem pozostawania dobrą katoliczką w oczach opinii publicznej, bycia żoną katolickiego monarchy lub na podstawie udzielonej przez papieża dyspensy. Arystokratka może swobodnie korzystać z przywileju w zależności od wagi wydarzenia i nie traci go, jeśli zdecyduje się na czarny strój na niektórych papieskich audiencjach.

Historia
Współczesny protokół dyplomatyczny powstał w czasie Kongresu Wiedeńskiego w 1815 r. Dotyczy to również protokołu audiencji papieskich, choć niektóre reguły są znacznie starsze, np. precedencja ambasadorów powstała w 1504 r., za czasów papieża Juliusza II, z okazji wizyty króla Anglii Henryka VIII i nadal jest podstawą obecnie używanej listy.

Protokół papieskich audiencji przewiduje trzy rodzaje strojów dla kobiet: tenue pontificale, strój formalny i mniej formalny. Podobne reguły dotyczą mężczyzn. Każdy z tych trzech strojów może zostać zastąpiony strojem narodowym, o ile spełnia on wymagania dotyczące długości, zakrycia ramion i głowy.

Najbardziej formalny () przeznaczony jest dla osób składających formalną lub oficjalną wizytę papieżowi, a także dla funkcjonariuszy w czasie papieskich ceremonii i w Domu Papieskim. Stanowią go: długa czarna suknia z długimi rękawami i czarna mantyla. Panie z Europy i z obszaru kultury hiszpańskiej często umieszczają we włosach wysoki grzebień z kości słoniowej, na który zakładają mantylę. W skład stroju mogą wchodzić również odznaki, ordery lub dyskretna i gustowna biżuteria. Szlachetnie urodzone panie, szczególnie z domów panujących, mogą założyć, pod mantylę, tiarę zamiast hiszpańskiego grzebienia.

Strój formalny to czarna sukienka do połowy łydki lub do kolan z długimi rękawami lub czarny szal zakrywający ramiona i czarna mantyla bez grzebienia. Strój mniej formalny, który nie był akceptowalny w obecności papieża do lat 70. XX w., oznacza konserwatywną (jaskrawe kolory są wykluczone, biały tylko dla pań cieszących się przywilejem bieli) sukienkę do połowy łydki lub do kolan z długimi rękawami. Nakrycie głowy dla pań w trakcie mszy jest nadal zgodne protokołem watykańskim, wynika bowiem z 1. listu św. Pawła do Koryntian.

Niektóre katolickie królowe i księżniczki mają tradycyjnie prawo noszenia bieli w obecności papieża. Białą suknię i białą mantylę na audiencjach mogły nosić królowe Włoch, Belgii, Hiszpanii, wielka księżna Luksemburga, księżne i księżniczki z dynastii sabaudzkiej.

Kobiety współcześnie obdarzone przywilejem
W roku 2016 następujące kobiety miały prawo noszenia bieli podczas audiencji u papieża:
 królowa Hiszpanii Zofia (od wstąpienia męża na tron w 1975 roku)
 królowa Belgów Paola (od wstąpienia męża na tron w 1993 roku)
 wielka księżna Luksemburga Maria Teresa (od wstąpienia męża na tron 2000 roku)
 księżna Neapolu Marina (od 2003 roku)
 księżna Monako Charlene (od 2013 roku)
 królowa Belgów Matylda (od wstąpienia męża na tron w 2013 roku)
 królowa Hiszpanii Letycja (od wstąpienia męża na tron w 2014 roku)

Marina, księżna Neapolu, żona Wiktora Emmanuela, skorzystała z przywileju 18 maja 2003 roku podczas mszy świętej z okazji urodzin papieża Jana Pawła II, jako księżna pochodząca z domu Sabaudzkiego.

Charlene, księżna Monako, żona katolickiego monarchy, również skorzystała z przywileju w trakcie audiencji u papieża Benedykta XVI. Biuro Prasowe Stolicy Apostolskiej wydało później komunikat prasowy, w którym stwierdzono, że "zgodnie z wymaganiami watykańskiego ceremoniału, katolickim monarchiniom i księżniczkom wolno ubierać się w biel". Charlène nie nosiła białych szat w trakcie inauguracyjnej mszy papieża Franciszka w 2013 roku, ani w trakcie mszy kanonizacyjnej papieża Jana Pawła II i papieża Jana XXIII w 2014. Skorzystała z przywileju po raz kolejny 18 stycznia 2016 roku podczas audiencji u papieża Franciszka w ramach oficjalnej wizyty w Watykanie jej męża, księcia Monako Alberta II.

Przywilej nie przysługuje żonom wszystkich katolickich monarchów, ani żonom niekatolickich monarchów. Pomimo że są katoliczkami, przywilej nie przysługuje żonie króla Lesotho czy żonie księcia Liechtensteinu. Do 2013 roku przywileju nie posiadała żona księcia Monako. Przywilej ten również nie został przyznany królowej Holandii Maksymie, która jest katolicką żoną protestanckiego króla Wilhelma Aleksandra.

Cherie Blair, żona byłego premiera Wielkiej Brytanii Tony Blaira, była krytykowana w 2006 roku za noszenie bieli podczas audiencji papieża Benedykta XVI w dniu 28 kwietnia 2006 roku. W rzeczywistości została zaproszona do zabrania głosu w trakcie watykańskiej konferencji w charakterze eksperta ds. dzieci i młodzieży. Benedykt XVI, dowiedziawszy się, że była w Watykanie, poprosił ją tylko z kilkuminutowym wyprzedzeniem, by się z nim spotkała, zmuszając ją do wystąpienia w stroju, który miała na sobie.

Przykłady wykorzystania przywileju
Przywilej bieli nie jest używany na każdym spotkaniu z papieżem, najczęściej korzysta się z niego przy okazji najważniejszych wydarzeń w Watykanie i pozostaje do uznania członka rodziny monarszej, czasami na zaproszenie Prefekta Domu Papieskiego. Przywilej otrzymuje się na podstawie dyspensy papieża.

Fiscal deficit on track, govt to stick to roadmap ahead
For the current fiscal year, the fiscal deficit — a measure of how much the government borrows to fund its expenses — will be 3.9%.
union budget Updated: Mar 01, 2016 01:24 IST

Notwithstanding the uncertain global economy and ballooning wage and pension bill for civilians and defence staff, the government decided to adhere to the 3.5% fiscal deficit target for 2016-17 projected earlier as part of the fiscal consolidation exercise.
In his budget speech on Monday, finance minister Arun Jaitley assured that the government's development agenda will not be compromised. He also announced setting up of a committee to review the Fiscal Responsibility and Budget Management (FRBM) Act.
With the prevailing volatility and uncertainty in the global markets, there was need to review the act, he added.
The government's total expenditure in 2016-17 is estimated at Rs 19.78 lakh crore, of which Rs 5.50 lakh crore will be directed towards plan expenditure. The remaining Rs 14.28 lakh crore will go towards non-plan expenditure. According to the fiscal consolidation roadmap, fiscal deficit has to be brought down to 3% in 2017-18.
The revenue deficit for the current fiscal year has been improved to 2.5% of GDP from the budgeted 2.8%.
The committee which will review the FRBM Act will work with state governments to do away with the distinction between plan and non-plan expenditure.
The government will have to provide Rs 1.10 lakh crore in the next fiscal year for the implementation of the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission and the One Rank One Pension (OROP) scheme.
The Economic Survey presented on Friday argued that adhering to the 3.5% fiscal deficit target for 2016-17 would maintain "credibility" of the government. However, meeting the target would be challenging, it added. "There are very good arguments for a strategy of aggressive fiscal consolidation... and equally good arguments for a strategy of moderate consolidation that can place the debt on a sustainable path while avoiding imparting a major negative demand shock to a still-fragile recovery."
In the current fiscal year, softening of crude prices, which are hovering at record low levels, have come in handy for the finance minister in balancing the budget and getting the fiscal math right.
According to the budget proposals, subsidies on food, fertiliser and petroleum have been estimated at Rs 2.32 lakh crore for 2016-17. The subsidy bill for 2015-16, according to the revised estimate, is Rs 2,41,856.58 crore.

List of Heroes characters
Teddy (disambiguation)
Teddy (story)
The following is a list of recurring characters in the animated television series South Park. This does not include the school children, family members or the school staff.
"Al Gore" (voiced by Trey Parker in the "ManBearPig" episode and Matt Stone in "The Red Badge of Gayness" episode) is the former Vice President of the United States and also tries to alert the children of South Park of a mystical creature named "ManBearPig". He constantly says "I'm super cereal!" and "excelsior!" during certain situations; he also appears to be ignorant and insecure.
Gore also appears in during the Imaginationland saga where he's shown wearing a red cape and yelling "excelsior!"; he also appears in the South Park: The Stick of Truth video game.
Big Gay Al
Big Gay Al (speaking voice Matt Stone, singing voice Trey Parker) is a stereotypical homosexual man known for his flamboyant and positive demeanor. For example, he almost always responds to the greeting "How are you?" with an upbeat "I'm super! Thanks for asking!" At one point in the show, he runs an animal farm for gay animals who have been rejected by homophobic pet owners. He temporarily adopted Sparky, Stan's gay dog, who had run away from home. Later on in the episode, his large shelter vanishes, but the various animals remained, and were adopted by their former owners who had missed them greatly. Ever since, he has been a particularly good friend to Stan, and is one of the few people in South Park who are genuinely nice.

Scott is a lunar impact crater near the south pole of the Moon. Its location close to the lunar limb hinders observation, both from the foreshortening of the crater as seen from Earth and from the limited sunlight that enters the basin. In fact the northern end of this crater is in near perpetual darkness, and has not been mapped in detail. Scott lies between the similar-sized crater Amundsen to the southeast and Schomberger to the northwest. Just to the northeast is the crater Demonax.
The rim of this crater has been heavily eroded and the features are worn and irregular, although the crater basin remains roughly circular. There are several crater formations attached to the west and northwest outer rim, the most well-formed of which is the satellite crater Scott E. There is also small crater along the southeast inner wall, and several tiny craterlets across the inner floor. The interior surface is rougher at the southern end, and grows smoother and flatter toward the shadow-cloaked north end. There is no central peak at the crater midpoint.

"Teddy" is a short story by J. D. Salinger, completed on November 22, 1952 and originally published in the January 31, 1953 issue of The New Yorker. Under the influence of The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna, Salinger created an engaging child character, Teddy McArdle, to introduce to his readership some of the basic concepts of Zen enlightenment and Vedanta reincarnation – a task that Salinger recognized would require overcoming some 1950s American cultural chauvinism.
Salinger wrote "Teddy" while he was arranging publication for a number of his short stories and crafted the story to balance and contrast the collections' intended opening work "A Perfect Day for Bananafish".
In Salinger's novella, "Seymour: An Introduction", a meditation written by a member of the fictional Glass family, Buddy Glass writes about his brother, Seymour, where Buddy claims authorship to "Teddy" as well as other pieces in Nine Stories.
The story comprises several vignettes which take place aboard a luxury liner. The events occur roughly between 10:00 and 10:30 am on October 28, 1952.

A poem inspired by the story of Sheffield refugee Lem Lem Hussain Abdu is featured in a 'Digital Poetry Slam' commissioned for the Off the Shelf literary festival. The project filmed 21 poets in 21 different locations across Sheffield – all venues used by the festival – to celebrate Off the Shelf's 21st anniversary.
River Wolton wrote the poem "Home" in July 2010 after Lem Lem was detained in Yarl's Wood and it was used during the campaign that led to Lem Lem being granted discretionary leave to remain this summer. Film maker Nathan Gibson recorded River reading the poem at the Lantern Theatre in Nether Edge.
You can see the performance here and then vote for it – or indeed one of the other 20 poems – by pressing the 'vote' tab on the 21poetsforsheffield website.

Brexit: The UK tech scene responds
Joe Svetlik
Brexit could have many effects on UK tech companies, including less access to employees from across Europe and less funding following decreased confidence from investors. Here are some of the repercussions those working in the sector foresee.
Ted Nash, CEO and co-founder, Tapdaq
"Our HQ is in London, meaning many of our overseas employees could struggle to visit as often as they do now, depending on what is negotiated. With the impending introduction of Brexit, our team structure and geographical make-up could be disturbed."
Rachel Carrell, CEO, Koru Kids
"Brexit makes a recession more likely, and this time London will feel it as much as the rest of the country. It'll be harder to get investment, especially in the later stages of financing, the Series A and Series B. One thing the government will have to prioritise is visa support for tech talent. If they don't do that, the London tech scene is really going to suffer."
Stuart Veale, founding partner, Beringea
"Despite the uncertainty, there is still a massive amount of capital looking for a home in London, so good businesses will continue to receive funding. If there is a recession, it will actually be a good time to be investing – valuations are likely to fall, making it even more attractive for venture capitalists to invest in tech businesses. But the government must reassure individuals and companies about which system they will use to allow new migrants into the UK. This is crucial, especially for the tech community which relies on lots of European talent."
Alex Macpherson, head of ventures, Octopus Ventures
"It's vital that we ensure high-growth early-stage businesses in the UK can continue to attract – and have access to – the best talent from Europe and overseas. That way, we can all benefit from the huge contribution these businesses make to the UK through the thousands of jobs they create and their positive impact on economic growth."
Daniel van Binsbergen, CEO and co-founder, Lexoo
"About half of our employees are non-UK nationals. If the UK wasn't part of the EU, we wouldn't have been able to hire other EU nationals without going through the expensive visa-sponsoring process. Access to top talent is what makes or breaks startups. We sincerely hope Brexit doesn't make it harder to hire talent. If it does become harder, we might open a second office in an EU country (e.g. Germany, the Netherlands or Portugal) and hire developers there. It might also be harder to raise funds in the future."
Hugo Burge, CEO, Momondo Group
"The Brexit vote revealed a fragmented British society with a significant portion of the population disenfranchised, having not experienced the benefits of globalisation or digitalisation. Now there's an opportunity to bring people together to build a strong digital and wider economy that can thrive without relying on EU subsidies. We can create opportunities for all by listening to their needs, supporting the development of relevant digital skills, enhancing digital connectivity and increasing investment in our digital and global future."
James Johnson, Group CEO, Nicoll Curtin
"Brexit will just accelerate the focus on technological solutions to problems. Technology crosses borders easier than people! This will increase tech hiring."
A lot is still unknown about what effects Brexit will have on businesses. As these quotes show, the overriding concern of tech companies is that they'll still have access to the best talent from across Europe. That's the only way London and the UK will remain powerhouses of both the European and global tech scenes.

Schaffa, schaffa, Typo baua: NDU graduate Sarah Wehinger starts her own studio
A native of Vorarlberg and NDU graphic design graduate, Sarah Wehinger set up her own business in St. Pölten in 2020. Typography, book and magazine design already inspired Sarah during her studies and now also shape her commissioned work.
Photos: Sarah Wehinger
At the New Design University (NDU) in St. Pölten, Vorarlberg-born Sarah Wehinger dedicated herself intensively to her passion for graphic design for three years. She also got involved as a student assistant and worked on the exhibition design for the NDU exhibition at the Vienna Design Week 2020, among other things. At the turn of the year, she was also responsible for the visual design of the new NDU slogan, which is now "creative. courageous. different. reads.
From the courses and topics of the Bachelor's degree programme "Graphic & Information Design", Sarah's enthusiasm for typography, magazine and book design crystallised over time. Her absolute highlight was the bachelor project "Blickwinkel - Gegen das Vergessen für ein Erinnern und Verstehen" (Perspective - Against Forgetting for Remembering and Understanding), in which she was able to combine her interest in history with a passion for design. The aim was to give young people an understanding of the Second World War, about concentration camps and all angles in between. This resulted in several publications, each with a focus. In addition to the work on the bachelor project, her main focus in 2020 was on the NDU research project "Vacant industrial and factory buildings in Lower Austria and their subsequent use". Here she designed the catalogue and the subsequent brochure. She also layouts and designs for the magazine "Lebensart". "I just love getting large amounts of content and preparing it graphically in the best possible way," says the 26-year-old, who also describes her drive as pure joy in making things.
Her upbringing in her father's carpentry workshop still influences her: "I find it enormously important to get away from the screen and work with my hands," she says. In the near future, she would like to make her own printing plates and experiment with milling and 3D printing.

Sonny Fodera has really solidified his spot in the house music scene over the last few years. His breakout moment came about in 2013 when he released his full length debut album, 'Moving Forward' on the esteemed label, Cajual Records. Since then, Fodera has released a plethora of singles on various major labels, compilation series 'Deep Down & Defected' and 'In The House' for Defected Records, and most recently his third album, 'Frequently Flying'.
Fodera has accomplished more in the last few years than most aspiring producers could dream of. His style and mixing skills have resulted in the greatest honor of all; recognition from house legends, Green Velvet, Derrick Carter, and the 'Godfather of House' himself, Frankie Knuckles.
The Aussie native has made his presence known worldwide with international tours, festival appearances, and holding residency in the capital of electronic music, Ibiza. Lucky for us, he is returning to the US March 4-5 for CRSSD Festival at Waterfront Park in San Diego, California.
