YotaPhone Launches Indiegogo Campaign for YotaPhone 2
May 19, 2015, 8:12 AM by Eric M. Zeman
YotaPhone today initiated an Indiegogo campaign for the YotaPhone 2. The company said earlier this year it intended to bring the YotaPhone 2 to certain markets via the crowd-funding site, and today it made good on its word. Early backers can score the YotaPhone 2 for $500, though the number of handsets available at that price is limited to 100. Most of the available stock costs $550. Yotaphone said it will ship the YotaPhone 2 to Indiegogo investors in early August, which is "just ahead of [our] general launch in North America." The YotaPhone 2 is unique because it has two screens: a standard display on the front and an e-ink display on the back to help save battery life.

Yota Debuts White YotaPhone, Pushes Lollipop
YotaPhone today made available a white version of the YotaPhone 2 handset. The white version of the phone, announced earlier this year, ships with Android 5.0 Lollipop and revised user interface elements for the e-ink display. Otherwise, it is identical to the black model. YotaPhone has also begun pushing Android 5.0 to the original YotaPhone 2 handset. The company said it may take up to two weeks for all users to see their device updated. YotaPhone plans to bring both the black and white versions of the YotaPhone 2 to the U.S. this summer through an Indiegogo campaign, but the details of which have yet to be revealed.
YotaPhone 2 Launching in U.S. via Indiegogo
Mar 3, 2015, 9:47 AM by Rich Brome updated Mar 3, 2015, 7:37 PM
YotaPhone plans to launch its unique dual-screen YotaPhone 2 in the U.S. this spring via crowd-funding site Indiegogo, according to Matthew Kelly, YotaPhone's Managing Director for Americas. The YotaPhone 2 is a high-end Android phone with a large e-paper display on the back that uses no power when displaying static images and graphics, greatly extending battery life when used often instead of the traditional front display. It is compatible with both T-Mobile and AT&T networks, including LTE. It will sell for approximately $600. As usual for Indiegogo, the company will offer incentives to early backers. Those incentives have not been nailed down, but may include a bumper case or even a discount on the phone. After a successful Indiegogo launch, the company plans to expand availability to third-party retailers such as best Buy. YotaPhone is hard at work on its software upgrade to Android 5.0 (Lollipop), which should be available by the time units start shipping in the U.S., or shortly thereafter. The software update will also include an overhauled 2.0 version of the API for third-party app support of the e-paper screen. The company will also launch a white version of the YotaPhone 2, which has a white back and sides, but keeps the black face. The white color is expected by late summer.
YotaPhone 2 Headed to U.S., Says Exec
Jan 9, 2015, 8:38 AM by Eric M. Zeman
One of the top four U.S. carriers has agreed to sell the YotaPhone 2, according to YotaPhone executive Matthew Kelly. Kelly would not specify which of the four carriers (AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless) plans to sell the phone, but he said it is coming later this year. The YotaPhone 2 is notable because it has two displays: a standard LCD panel on the front and an e-ink display on the back. The e-ink display can be used to conserve battery power, as it draws about one-seventh as much energy as an LCD screen. The YotaPhone 2 is already for sale in Europe. Pricing in the U.S. is as yet unknown.

YotaPhone today announced the availability of the YotaPhone 2, a smartphone that has a traditional display on one side and an e-ink display on the other.

The e-ink display measures 4.7 inches and boasts 48 hours of reading time. The YotaPhone 2 is powered by a 2.2GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. It includes an 8-megapixel main camera and a 2-megapixel user-facing camera. It supports select LTE 4G networks and goes on sale this week in Russia and the U.K. for approximately $870.

YotaPhone Upgraded With Full Touch, Better Specs
Feb 24, 2014, 5:37 AM by Rich Brome
Yota Devices today announced its next-generation YotaPhone. Like its first phone, the new model has one regular display plus a large e-paper display on the back. On the new version, both displays are full touch displays. The design is also now more curved and comfortable. The specs have been upgraded to include a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor and NFC. With displays on both sides, a full 74% of its surface area is touch screens. The 4.7-inch e-paper display is not only a full touch screen, but has been upgraded with better resolution and a light to be visible in the dark. Like all e-paper displays, it only uses power when changing, so it can display information constantly using almost no battery. The standard display on the other side is a 5-inch AMOLED panel. The new YotaPhone is planned to be available in Russia and Europe by the end of 2014, with a U.S. version to follow in early 2015.

Q: What could cause lag using Visual Studio 2010 with a Direct3D control? I've got a really pesky problem. When writing a C# application using the .NET 4.0 framework and Direct3d for managed code, and creating a device inside a user control (so that I can use it as a kind of viewport), my visual studio 2010 starts "lagging" after the first compile of it. When I type something, there is a delay about 0.5s - 1s until the typed text is shown. The same delay occurs while scrolling via page down or page up or arrow keys. With other projects which are even bigger - with up to 1000 source files (C++), or other C# projects - there is no problem like this. Mouse interaction also delays for 0.5s - 1s.
So my question is what could cause this problem and how can I avoid it?
EDIT: One more hint is that I often get by compiling it:
Unable to copy file "obj\x86\Debug\Direct3DTest.exe" to "bin\Debug\Direct3DTest.exe". The process cannot access the file 'bin\Debug\Direct3DTest.exe' because it is being used by another process.

A: You probably have your UserControl in design view opened either in it's own document or embedded in your form. This probably causes a DirectX device to be created inside VS. Check fi that's the case and if so you should be able to find out if your control is in design mode (in VS) or in runtime mode.

Fremont buys 50 percent stake of Atria management's interest in Atria Senior Living
Fremont Realty Capital has acquired a 50 percent stake of Atria management's interest in Atria Senior Living, a senior housing provider. Also, Ventas, which backs Atria, has made an additional investment to maintain its stake without dilution. As a result of the the transactions, Ventas owns a 34 percent stake in Atria's management services business with Atria senior executives and Fremont owning 33 percent each, respectively.
Correction: An earlier headline and report of this news item misstated the details of this transaction. It has since been corrected.
CHICAGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Ventas, Inc. (NYSE: VTR) today announced the completion of a series of transactions with Atria Senior Living ("Atria"), one of its leading senior housing operating partners, under which Atria's management team has raised growth capital by selling 50 percent of their ownership in Atria's management business to Fremont Realty Capital ("Fremont"), the real estate private equity business unit of the Fremont Group, the investment office of the Bechtel family.
There is no change in Ventas's real estate ownership as a result of this transaction. The Atria management capital raise, which will support Atria's strategic growth, values Atria at a substantial increase compared to the 2012 transaction in which Ventas acquired 34 percent of the business.
Ventas has made an additional investment in Atria to maintain its 34 percent ownership stake without dilution. Ventas will continue to have two representatives serve on Atria's board of directors and maintain certain other rights with respect to governance.
"We are delighted to support Atria's growth-focused capital raise for its management platform and welcome Fremont as an investor in Atria," said Debra A. Cafaro, Ventas Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Since we acquired substantially all of Atria's real estate in 2011, Atria's management business has nearly doubled in size. As a leading national senior care provider with an outstanding management team, Atria has significant growth potential. As Atria now takes the next step to enhance its scale and financial flexibility, the business will be well positioned for growth as a consolidator within a highly fragmented market."
Ms. Cafaro continued, "Fremont is an experienced investor and will be an excellent partner given its long-term investment horizon, and its focus on high-quality management teams in attractive businesses. This additional equity investment in Atria's management business is yet another example of the broad-based interest from investors of all types in excellent senior care providers."
"Ventas has been a supportive and invaluable partner in helping us grow our business, and this transaction puts our management business on a path for further growth and expansion," said John A. Moore, Atria Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We look forward to continuing to collaborate with Ventas in the years ahead as we mutually support each company's business goals."
Initially, proceeds of the current capital raise have been principally reinvested in Atria. The transactions will result in Ventas owning a 34 percent share of Atria's management services business with Atria senior executives and Fremont owning 33 percent each, respectively.
Since Ventas's initial acquisition of substantially all of Atria's real estate in 2011, Ventas has invested nearly $3 billion of incremental capital in senior housing communities operated by Atria. Ventas currently owns 172 senior housing communities operated by Atria. Atria has increased the number of communities it manages on a long-term basis from 125 to over 200, doubling revenue under management since 2011.

Your body is smart and has many ways of telling you what it needs. What we need to do is to distinguish between true hunger and everything else. When we over train, we feel pain. Pain is a sense that we can all relate to. When you realize you are feeling pain and alter what you are doing, you increase the chances of optimal outcomes.
We need to listen to our bodies regarding our hunger signs. More often than not, we eat because we are stressed, anxious, bored, or in social gatherings. As you can see, you are eating based on your emotions, not as fuel for your furnace.
We found that a scale works great for many things we do. Your commitment level, the pain rating, and your hunger level all work well. The scale ranging from 1 to 10 is great for tracking your hunger level. We like people to try and eat when they are at a 7 or 8. When you are above this level your body begins craving fats and easily accessible foods full of empty calories. Try to stay away from these!
When you feel that you are full but can still engage in light activity, then it's time to stop eating. This would be a 3 on the scale. If you eat until you are uncomfortable, you have overdone it. Most likely you'll be looking to take that nap soon. The production of insulin just shot up to counteract the glucose surging through your blood stream.
Between meals and scheduled snacks, those hunger signs may arise from stress, boredom, and so forth. We recommend keeping a water bottle with you to keep you hydrated and away from the unnecessary snacks. A brisk walk, squats or other movement are sure to diminish that bored hunger.
The scaled approach is sure to help you on your way to really listening and knowing how your body processes things while you move through life.

Whistleblower appears as role model at Youth Olympics & investigation continues against Ghanian FA President
This week's media recap includes the highly broadcasted interview given by Wilson Raj Perumal to CNN, in which he reveals details of his years as a match-fixer. He makes reference to the Asiagate scandal, his previous convictions for match-fixing and how he believes more could be done to tackle the issue.
Also featured this week is El Salvador, whose General Attorney confirmed this morning in a press conference the prosecution of 14 people for their involvement in match-fixing. While eleven are football players, the remaining three are businessmen with possible links to Perumal.
CURRENT INVESTIGATION
The General Attorney confirmed this morning in a press conference the details of the prosecution of 14 people for match-fixing involving the national team. The Attorney stated that they are being prosecuted for the offences of money laundering and concealment of money laundering (up to 10 years imprisonment) as well as unlawful association (up to 9 years imprisonment), given that match-fixing is not yet a criminal offence in the country. International assistance has been requested. Eleven of the fourteen are football players, while three are businessmen possibly allied to the Singaporean Wilson Raj Perumal (two of which are Nicaraguan and one Malayan-Singaporean).

World football governing body FIFA has referred a match-fixing matter against Kwesi Nyantakyi, the president of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) to the national association for redress. The decision arrived after the investigatory chamber of the FIFA Ethics Committee concluded a preliminary investigation in relation to the alleged match manipulation involving officials of the GFA and a players' agent licensed by the same association, FIFA said in a statement on Monday. It followed articles published by UK newspaper The Telegraph between June 22-24 and the airing of the Dispatches program "How to fix a football match" on Channel Four on June 23 that made claims of an alleged case of match manipulation linked to the organization of international friendly matches involving Ghana's national team, the Black Stars. However, the GFA has denied the match-fixing allegations and subsequently requested the Ghana Police Service to investigate two persons for misrepresenting the association with an attempt to defraud. Consequently, Christopher Forsythe, a FIFA player agent and Obed Nketia, a football official, were invited by the police following a report filed by the GFA but have been granted police inquiry bail. No charges have been brought against them at the moment.

A referee who was the whistleblower in a football match-fixing scandal says his life has changed. Cedrick Muvhali, a referee employed by the SA Football Association (Safa), told the Bellville Specialised Commercial Crimes Court on Thursday that he had been accused of being a spy by colleagues, after he reported a fellow referee to officials. Muvhali identified former assistant referee Clifford Malgas, who was sitting in the dock, as the man who had approached him to "fix" matches. They were both members of the Soweto Referees' Association at the time. Malgas was arrested last October, and is accused of match-fixing in the Vodacom Cup tournament in June, 2011. Muvhali said he realised then that when he got back to Joburg his life would be different. Prosecutor Louis van Niekerk asked him how it was different and Muvhali said he had been called names such as "impimpi" (a spy).

The Democratic Party lost just about everything in 2016, but so far it has offered only evasive regrets and mild apologies. Instead of acknowledging gross failure and astounding errors, the party's leaders and campaign professionals wallowed in self-pity and righteous indignation. The true villains, they insisted, were the wily Russians and the odious Donald Trump, who together intruded on the sanctity of American democracy and tampered with the election results. Official investigations are now under way.1
While the country awaits the verdict, a new and quite provocative critique has emerged from a group of left-leaning activists: They blame the Democratic Party itself for its epic defeat. Their 34-page "Autopsy: The Democratic Party in Crisis" reads more like a cold-eyed indictment than a postmortem report. It's an unemotional dissection of why the Democrats failed so miserably, and it warns that the party must change profoundly or else remain a loser.2
Reading the particulars of this critique, I had the impression that maybe the party got what it deserved in 2016. I do not mean that Trump deserved to win. Indeed, "Autopsy" mentions Trump's campaign largely in passing, and the Russians only once. But this analysis does suggest that Trump became president mainly because the Democratic campaign was inept, misguided, smug, and out of touch with the country.3
Much of the report's specifics were already known in bits and pieces. But the evidence takes on a sharper edge and stronger punch as it is laid out in "Autopsy." The task force that drafted the critique was led by journalist and media critic Norman Solomon, a Democratic convention delegate in 2008 and 2016; Karen Bernal, the Progressive Caucus chair of the California State Democratic Party; Pia Gallegos, a longtime civil-rights lawyer and activist in New Mexico; and Sam McCann, a New York–based communications specialist focused on issues of international justice. The writers are not promoting any candidate for 2020, though they are obviously kindred spirits with Bernie Sanders and his aggressive reform agenda. They do, however, want to provoke a showdown within the Democratic Party: the Clinton-Obama establishment versus the hurt and disappointed party base. The establishment has the money and the governing control; the rank-and-file agitators have the fire of their brave convictions.4
This "Autopsy," in other words, is a text for rebellion and a rough suggestion of what a born-again Democratic Party might look like. This is the heart of its indictment: "The mainstream Democratic story line of victims without victimizers lacks both plausibility and passion. The idea that the Democrats can somehow convince Wall Street to work on behalf of Main Street through mild chiding, rather than acting as Main Street's champion against the wealthy, no longer resonates. We live in a time of unrest and justified cynicism toward those in power; Democrats will not win if they continue to bring a wonk knife to a populist gun fight."5
The authors are clearly seeking a straightforward repudiation of the governing strategy on economic issues by the last two Democratic presidents. Neither Bill Clinton nor Barack Obama attempted to challenge corporate and financial interests, and neither did nearly enough to address the lost jobs and wages that led to deteriorating affluence and fed popular cynicism and distrust. Obama, for example, gratuitously appointed General Electric CEO Jeffrey Immelt to the White House Jobs Council—an odd choice, given that Immelt's company was a notorious pioneer in offshoring American jobs to foreign nations. Immelt subsequently admitted that he was motivated by GE's bottom line: American wages were too high, he explained, so he intended to lower them. He succeeded.6
"The mainstream Democratic story line of victims without victimizers lacks both plausibility and passion." —from "Autopsy: The Democratic Party in Crisis"
In this context, blue-collar workers were not mistaken when they blamed the Democrats. During the campaign, Hillary Clinton was virtually silent on the party's complicity. The Democratic nominee couldn't very well quarrel with the party's embrace of Republican dogma on free trade and financial deregulation, since it would have meant quarreling with her husband. On the central domestic issue of our time, she had nothing convincing to say. Clinton belatedly announced her opposition to the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal championed by President Obama, but at that point it was already dead. The party platform paid the usual respect to liberal economic causes, but who could believe her? Clinton lacked authenticity.7
View our current issue
A revealing example cited in "Autopsy" of the Democratic Party's self-congratulatory mentality (and its cluelessness) is the fund-raising mailer it sent to donors in the summer of 2017—eight months after its spectacular wipeout. The mailer was "designed to look like collection letters to its supporters," the critique notes. "The DNC team scrawled 'FINAL NOTICE' across the envelopes and put 'Finance Department' as the return address. The message it conveyed, intentionally or not, was: you owe us." The upstart critics observe: "That, not coincidentally, is a message the party leadership has been sending to core constituencies through its policies and campaign spending priorities."8
The condescending approach of party wise guys may seem a trivial matter in the era of high-tech modern elections, but politics is still personal. The failure to sustain the attachments of shared experience and kindred loyalties can be fatal. Representative Thomas "Tip" O'Neill, the Democratic House speaker during the Reagan era, used to tell this story about himself: In his first run for Congress, a family friend and neighbor, Mrs. O'Brien, told O'Neill that she would vote for him even though he had failed to ask for her vote. O'Neill was astonished. He hadn't thought it necessary, since they were such close friends. "Tom, let me tell you something," Mrs. O'Brien said. "People like to be asked."9
That kernel of political wisdom is what the Democratic Party has forgotten. All politics is local, as O'Neill taught. But the party moved uptown, so to speak, and lost touch with the old neighborhood. The party of working people failed to rally the stalwart regulars it could usually count on, and those folks failed to turn out in the usual numbers.10
In essence, this is the core accusation leveled in "Autopsy": that the Democratic Party neglected its most loyal voters. It not only forgot to ask for their votes; it ignored the general distress of working people (white, black, and brown). Furthermore, the party didn't have much to offer those folks in the form of concrete proposals to improve their lives. That's a controversial claim, but the authors of "Autopsy" offer damning evidence to support it.11
"For every blue-collar Democrat we lose...we will pick up two moderate Republicans." —Senator Chuck Schumer, who like many Democrats fatally misjudged the electorate.
In midsummer 2016, working-class enthusiasm for Trump was the hot political story, but Senator Chuck Schumer, the soon-to-be Democratic leader in the upper chamber, assured party colleagues that they needn't worry. "For every blue-collar Democrat we lose in western Pennsylvania, we will pick up two moderate Republicans in the suburbs of Philadelphia," Schumer predicted. "And you can repeat that in Ohio and Illinois and Wisconsin."12
At the time, Schumer sounded as though he was just blowing smoke to motivate donors. But in hindsight, this may actually have been the party's strategy: Bet on middle-class suburbanites offended by the vile Trump to vote Democratic or stay home, which would offset the loss of working-class voters attracted to him. If this was, in fact, the strategy, the party bet wrong on every point.13
What's more, this approach may have encouraged Democratic operatives to shortchange black and Latino voters—two faithful groups that had powerful reasons to vote against Trump. The turnout for both was depressed compared to previous presidential elections.14
According to the authors of "Autopsy," the Democrats withheld funding for grassroots canvassing and failed to challenge outrageous Republican schemes to suppress the minority vote. Albert Morales, then the Democratic National Committee's director of engagement for Latino voters, originally proposed a $3 million budget to increase turnout in Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Florida, Nevada, and Texas. He ended up with $300,000. "It was just pitiful," Morales said.15
The Obsession With White Voters Could Cost Democrats the Virginia Governor's Race
Steve Phillips
"Autopsy" warns that "what ought to deeply worry Democrats moving forward…is the massive swing of white working-class voters from Obama in 2012 to Trump in 2016 and the depressed turnout of black and Latino voters for Clinton relative to 2012 Obama…. To put it in marketing terms: the Democratic Party is failing, on a systemic level, to inspire, bring out, and get a sufficient majority of the votes of the working class."16
"As a result of these failures," the report continues, "Democrats saw dips in voter turnout and voter support among people of color—dips that were disastrously concentrated in swing states. In short, these missteps likely cost the party the presidential election."17
Once again, people like to be asked. There is one more bloc of potential voters that the Democratic Party failed to ask—young people—and its failure here is ominous for the future. This new generation is far to the left of the current party, not to mention stone-age Republicans. Bernie Sanders was their man in 2016, and he will continue to be an influential leader in reshaping politics and the governing of the nation.18
Many young people are even to the left of Bernie. A YouGov poll in January 2016 found that 43 percent of people under the age of 30 had a favorable opinion of socialism, versus just 26 percent unfavorable. A recent poll of 18-to-29-year-olds by Harvard University found that a majority of the respondents did not "support capitalism." This was too much for Representative Nancy Pelosi, the House minority leader. At a postelection town hall, she bolted out of her seat to declare: "I have to say, we're capitalists—that's just the way it is." Maybe it's time for the Democrats to start a conversation with these young lefties.19
The Clinton partisans who remain in charge of the party machinery will no doubt reject the conclusions of "Autopsy." The report suggests that the Clinton-Obama crowd tilted the action away from the party's core voter blocs—labor, people of color, and young people—in order to court suburban voters and maintain the party's alliances with high finance and multinational corporations. This might also explain why the DNC decided not to undertake its own postelection review. Suspicions are already circulating: As Politico reported, "Party officials involved in fund-raising say donors repeatedly turn them away with a 'try again next year,' especially since it became clear there won't be an official party autopsy from 2016."20
That donor-centric strategy was highly valuable when it came to raising money for Clinton's campaign. It turned out to be not so good for winning her the election.21

kronecker
Scientific hypotheses can not be proven
We need induction and deduction to prove scientific hypotheses.
But we only prove by deduction, not by induction, then we can't prove scientific hypotheses.
Only mathematical hypotheses can be proved, because it could be done by deduction alone.
dionisos
The point of a scientific hypothesis is not to be proven, but to be disproven. Scientific hypotheses must be falsifiable. It is only when we find that we cannot disprove the hypothesis, despite our best attempts, that we begin to accept it as truth.
quantumapoptosi
The scientific method is the better way to know what we can't prove.
Every scientific hypothesis can be disproved by a single counter example. There are an infinite number of counter examples to test. Since we cannot test an infinite number of examples a scientific hypothesis can never be proved.
taco2nite
Scientific method is a way used to prove scientific hypothesis. You have to disprove it to validate your statement.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_method
A hypothesis being "proven true" is not the goal of the scientific method; the scientific method helps us to find out whether or not a hypothesis approximates the truth closely enough for us to make decisions based on it.
To quote George Box: "All models are wrong, but some models are useful."
lmc2179
They are not to be. By nature nothing in science is ever so proven that it cannot be later revised or thrown out entirely. Science is always open to change as we find and discover new information.
jim777ps
The premises of solipsism can never be disproven leaving all science to be based on assumption of the true existence of the physical world.
the_philosopher
In general it isn't true as in some branches of science we can prove hypothesis and make them law. Such branches (with examples) are: math (i.e. Fermat's Last Theorem) or CS (i.e. halting problem).
hauleth
It's true. Because when it's proven it becomes a scientific theory.
skissor
A scientific hypothesis is a testable "proposed explanation" for a phenomenon. For it to become a scientific theory, the hypothesis has to be tested and confirmed several times, or even better, cross-linked with other theories to gain consistency. It's a standard procedure and not at all impossible.

Opinion is a Belief
I've experienced [x] trauma, therefore my opinion about [x] is correct.
May a state deny unemployment benefits to a person's whose religious beliefs prohibit them from working on Saturdays
The Court opinion in the Loving v. Virginia case was lawful and morally fitting
It is necessary for any elected official to show respect and tolerance to those with different faiths and beliefs.
Those who create discussions on arguman are not doing so for the sake of discussion but rather as a plea for their beliefs to be heard
Under the assumption that God and all religious beliefs are false. Can religion as a whole be considered harmful either on a macro or micro scale
Fascist thought should be banned, and prominent proponents of fascism imprisoned as a deterrent
Hypothesis is a Proposal
You cannot argue against Black-face comedies being prevalent without also arguing against The Big Bang Theory TV series being prevalent too (Which it has been since 2007).
The Reincarnation Theory is a selfish reaction to the fear of dying.
Intelligent Design is a reasonable hypothesis.
video games are pretty cool i guess
It is possible to build a society of free individuals who live long, healthy lives without threat of poverty or violence, who spend their time tending to the Earth and exploring space, time, and virtual possibility
Schools should be required to present creation as a theory alongside evolution, since neither can be proven superior over the other by science
Not all people have died, thus we cannot discount the possibility of immortality.
Proposal is a Message
When starting a new argument on argüman for which you have a already a partial opinion, you should instead state the opposite of your proposal.
Science is a Discipline
Psychology is science.
Science would be less advanced today if Christianity never existed.
Social sciences are not actually science.
Challenge, find a scientific study which shows blacks improve IQ/test scores from integrated schools. hint: you can't
There is no scientific evidence that GMO foods are harmful to humans.
The Science Section of this Website is Pointless
The presence of the universe can't have a scientific explanation.

5 Year Anniversary Reissues and Tour
We've made it 5 years and we couldn't have done it without you! Thank you for supporting us from our first release, Eleven Pond "Bas Relief" in July 2009, to today's 3 reissues: Severed Heads "Dead Eyes Opened" 12" EP with 2 original b-sides from 1984, Executive Slacks self-titled debut EP from 1982 and XYMOX "Subsequent Pleasures" EP from 1984 silkscreened using the original plates!
More info on each release is below.
Severed Heads - Dead Eyes Opened 12" EP
Dead Eyes Opened
Severed Heads are one of the longest standing bands to have emerged from the Australian post-punk and experimental scene. They began in Sydney in 1979, and were an early outfit to incorporate elements of 'industrial' noise-generation, tape cutting & looping and electronic sound synthesis. As the project developed, song-structures and vocals were employed in a more-or-less recognizable mutant electro pop style. After many line-up changes featuring Gary Bradbury and psychedelic guitarist Simon Knuckey, Severed Heads became the solo vehicle for composer Tom Ellard.
In 1983 they released a C-60 cassette called "Since The Accident" that grabbed the attention of Ink Records, a subsidiary of Virgin in the UK. Ellard added a throwaway track at the last minute to fill out the cassette, not wanting to leave an unseemly gap on a C60 tape. This track, "Dead Eyes Opened" was catchy enough to get a lot of airplay on the main non-commercial radio station in Sydney. The band was asked to make this song into a 12" single. For this extended version, Tom Ellard and producer Patrick Gibson went to M Squared studio and passed the multitracked recordings through various EQ's and delays. "Dead Eyes Opened" features samples from a radio program narrated by Edgar Lustgarten, a crime journalist from England, referencing a double murder case that occurred in 1924. The rhythms are made by a TR-808 drum machine and an SH-1 synthesizer. A KORG PolySix was used for strings and additional atmospheric elements. The lead solo was a Casiotone run through an Octaver foot pedal. On the B-side are two solo compositions "Bullet" and "Mount" that Ellard recorded at Terse Tapes in 1982.
All songs are remastered for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. Housed in the original jacket featuring the iconic photograph of a girl with a painted face wrapped in some cloth by Juilee Pryor. Each copy includes a fold-out newsprint poster with a large photo of the band wearing Art Unit skull shirts on one side and liner notes and press clippings on the other. 30 years later Severed Heads are still paving the way for powerful, imaginative, and challenging music.
Executive Slacks - Executive Slacks EP
So Mote it Be
Executive Slacks was spawned in the humidity of post-industrial Philadelphia by three restless art students - Matt Marello, John Young and Albert Ganss. Starting out with performance art in subways, they soon took their angst-ridden act to galleries and night clubs. They recorded four songs in the fall of 1982 that became their self-titled EP released by local independent label Red Records in 1983.
On their debut EP Matt Marello roars and churns out white-hot shards of guitar while John Young's short-circuited noise machines and Albert Ganss's industrial metal drums create dramatic body rhythms. The Slacks drew their influences from contemporaries like Cabaret Voltaire and Tuxedomoon, but also from extremes like disco and dadaism. Songs were created using heavily modified synthesizers and various percussive instruments: industrial steel drums, a filing cabinet, metal rods, and an African drum covered in antelope skin. Executive Slacks' unique brew of primitive electronics, harsh guitars and aggressive vocals inspired many bands like Ministry, Front 242, Skinny Puppy.
All songs are remastered for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. Housed in the original jacket featuring a painting by Albert Ganss. Each copy includes an 8-page booklet on industrial gray and blood red paper with lyrics, photos and press clippings from the band's archives. As James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem said of "The Bus", "I always wanted to make a sound like that".
Xymox - Subsequent Pleasures EP
Going Round
Moscovite Musquito
Strange 9 to 9
Call it Weird
Abysmal Thoughts
Xymox was founded in Nijmegen, a city in the east of the Netherlands in 1983 by Ronny Moorings (Vocals, Guitars, Synthesizers) and Anka Wolbert (Vocals, Bass). In April of that year Mooringa bought a TEAC 144 four-track tape recorder and the duo moved to Amsterdam. They began to record songs utilizing a Yamaha CS-15, Korg MS-10 and MS-20, a BOSS Dr. Rhythm DR-550, guitar and effects pedals. They layered the drone-like tones of monophonic synthesizers alongside tape loops and rhythm tracks, then played guitar and bass, without the use of computers. The 5-song EP Subsequent Pleasures was released in 1984 and limited to 500 vinyl copies, and served as a precursor to the dark wave sounds they would champion on their self-titled debut on 4AD the following year. Also of note, the track "Muscoviet Musquito", was later re-recorded for the compilation album "Lonely Is An Eyesore" released by 4AD in 1987.
All songs have been remastered for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. All jackets have been silk-screened with pink and grey paint, using the original plates Anka created in 1984. Each copy includes a fold-out pink newsprint poster with never before seen photos of the band, lyrics and liner notes by Anka and Ronny. See the colors and waves in this deluxe 30th anniversary edition of a classic piece of Dutch history, highly sought after by collectors.

Celine Dion kick starts British Summer Time Hyde Park 2019
Celine Dion kicked off two weekends of spectacular live music in Hyde Park for Barclaycard presents British Summer Time Hyde Park today with a stunning supporting cast of Josh Groban, Claire Richards, Jazz Morley, The Adelaides, Molly Hocking, Alice Chater, Kerri Watt and Anoushka Lucas.
First up on the Barclaycard Stage was Anoushka Lucas. She wowed the crowds early on, the perfect warm up for a day of true vocal talent. The Wandering Hearts opened up the Great Oak Stage performing as the first act on the main stage for the day – their blend of country and folk music complimented a very sunny Hyde Park, they opened with hit 'Fire & Water' and performed 'Wish I Could' before treating the audience to their new song 'Your Love Hurts'.
The glowing UK country trio The Adelaides returned to BST Hyde Park after a brilliant first performance in 2018. This time, they drew in an even bigger crowd performing on the Barclaycard Stage with their vibrant country tunes and soaring vocals.
Claire Richards took to the Great Oak Stage straight after, donning a sparkly white jacket trouser suit with her band and dancers dressed in matching white t-shirts with her 'CR' logo. Beaming and very pleased to be there Claire commented "Trying my very hardest to look like a professional up here but I am freaking out not only 'cos it's this stage but it's Celine day! It's the only reason I'm here today." Richards performed new tracks as well as classic anthems from Steps including 'One For Sorrow' she was watched on by her former band member Ian 'H' Watkins. She also covered 'Someone You Loved' by Lewis Capaldi and dedicated it to her children: "I get to do a few covers for radio sessions and every time I do it my children accuse me of stealing other people's songs and then they find out some Steps songs weren't ours and they accuse me of stealing those. But this is probably the biggest song of this year so far."
Renowned US singer Josh Groban wowed the crowds and showed his pure excitement for being in the United Kingdom; "I love this country, I love London, I love this park, I come here on my days off when I'm over here, I'm the weird guy on the bench with the swans." His theatrical performance saw him cover Gene Wilder's 'Pure Imagination' and 'Over The Rainbow' and his biggest smash hit 'You Raise Me Up.' He finished on a beautifully operatic version of 'Bridge Over Troubled Water.'
The one and only Celine Dion brought the house down like the ultimate icon she is, with an immense catalogue of hits and her hilariously quirky sense of humour to match. Celine made every person in the crowd feel like a best friend – even thanking them for joining her in the sing-a-long. In an emotional and passionate performance, she brought the glamour from her Las Vegas show with four costume changes. Rocking up on stage in a sparkly blue jumpsuit, Celine raved "'I'm looking out at this sea of people you look beautiful! People of London – my people. Are you ready to have a good time with me tonight?"
Celine individually thanked all the supports who had come before her on the Great Oak Stage and also played homage to some of the huge films she has soundtracked on, including 'Deadpool 2', 'Titanic' and 'Beauty And The Beast'. She also gave the UK their first live airing of her latest single 'Flying On My Own' and urged the audience to dance. She also paid tribute to artists including Prince with a special rendition of 'Purple Rain'.
Celine finished her set with true class and a heartfelt tribute to John Lennon. She closed on 'Imagine', calling for peace and harmony "If I may, I would love to leave with this message of peace and harmony in the best way that I can." The perfect ending to a perfect first day in Hyde Park.

A camera that provides three or more hours of battery life is a good choice. The quality of the recording is affected by the battery life, so if you plan on recording long HD videos, you should choose something with a high battery capacity.
Portability is essential, so it is best to search for the smallest units you can find. You should also put the form of the camera into consideration, as bullet style cameras usually function properly for mountain bike rides.
A camera's features will impact its price, so you should consider your budget before making a choice. Only go for helmet cameras that you can afford.
Many cameras have the capacity to pick up sounds better than others. If audio is a priority for you, look at cameras that capture high-quality sounds even at high speeds. Not all cameras can achieve this as the wind tends to drown out the sound.
Consider any additional features that might be useful to you. Some cameras offer GPS, WiFi, and Bluetooth functionality. Others come with voice commands and even remotes for increased convenience. Choose a helmet camera that has features you will enjoy.
– Helmet cameras give you the capacity to record your experiences from your point of view. You can watch alongside friends and loved ones numerous times so they can feel the excitement as if they were there with you.
– If you are training for a competition, they can be helpful. You can mount them on your helmet to observe areas for improvement before the actual event.
– They allow you to record activities for lengthy periods of time. This gives you the ability to save action spots in new cities to view later.
– Cameras prevent bad behavior from other users of the road. When individuals see you have a camera, they tend to become better behaved so as not to be caught misbehaving on film.
– Some helmet cameras come with GPS, which can help you find your way back home if you ever get lost.
One of the best features of helmet cameras is that their portable sizes give you the capacity to mount them in different locations. Each location provides you with another distinct view.
The best ways to use helmet cameras include attaching them to your helmet, bike, or body depending on the kind of view you are in search of. Note that you may have to get a different mount depending on where you decide to attach it. If you don't know how to fit this camera on your helmet, check out this video.
Two major things that make a helmet camera an ideal choice are the portability and the features. For both of these qualities, the best camera on this list is the GoPro Hero 5 Black.
The GoPro Hero 5 ticks all of the boxes necessary for recording high-quality videos and taking great photos. Regardless of your level of experience, it is sure to meet your requirements.
The Hero 5's battery life is also one of the best on the list, along with its numerous mount options and voice commands, which you can't get with most of the other helmet cameras listed above.

CloudOn offers 6 months of virtual Office for free
By Mark Hachman
As Microsoft prepares what many expect to be a version of Office for the Apple iPad, rival CloudOn has swooped in with its own offer.
CloudOn has offered a virtualized version of Office 2010 for the iPhone and iPad, plus Android phones, over the course of the last two years. Last September, the company expanded from an app-based model to the browser. CloudOn charges $3.99 for a list of features it turns on as part of what it calls CloudOn Pro: watermarking, footnotes, and bibliographies, to name a few.
Now, the company says it will waive those fees for six months, as a way to lure new business. The discount will apply to both new and existing customers.
"When we launched the CloudOn app two years ago, my hope was to allow the mobile workforce to work smarter on mobile devices," said Milind Gadekar, the president and chief executive of CloudOn, in a statement. "Since enriching our sharing and collaboration capabilities, we are seeing new workflows across platforms, devices and storage providers. We are thrilled with the rate of adoption and are delighted to celebrate with our loyal users."
CloudOn also can share documents across a number of different cloud platforms—with Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, Hightail, and OneDrive—rather than just Microsoft's OneDrive. Changes can be tracked using what CloudOn calls a "contextual filespace," which can track every edit, action, and message in real time.
Still, CloudOn and other rivals have to be wondering what Microsoft has up its sleeve. Although some don't put as much value on keeping up to date with the latest version of Microsoft Office, Microsoft has made a concerted effort to add value to Office through Office Apps, dynamic data sources like PowerBI, plus new pricing models such as its new personal Office 365 subscription. CloudOn's niche has traditionally been to offer what Microsoft doesn't. If Microsoft does release an Office for iPad, some of the company's value will wither away in an instant.
As PCWorld's senior editor, Mark focuses on Microsoft news and chip technology, among other beats.

What listeners say about Clouds of Witness (Dramatised)
100% Perfect Clean Entertainment
Good acting with a good clean fun storyline. No bad language, no violence, what there is, is a script which leaves you to use your imagination - I love these old dramas. I have all 10 & wish there were more.
H W Giddens
Clouds of Witness
I did enjoy this book but got a little lost and had to keep going back to try to follow the story. Not the fault of the book, just too busy whilst trying to listen. As usual Ian Carmichael does a brilliant job as well as the others that lend voice to the production.
Good cast and abridging
Well worth listening to. The story is good and the running time is just right.
Nikki Walters
Great performances all round
All of the Wimsey radioplays are great, and this is no exception. The casting is perfect, and the voice actors all bring across the right feelings. Only the gunshot sound effects really seemed ridiculous...
Excellent performance as ever, sad technical issue
Ian Carmichael & Co. are excellent, as ever. Brilliant performance and a good storyline. Unfortunately slight glitch in the download - two chapters are repeated which is slightly irritating. But the performance still hugely enjoyable.

NY Leader: Black Lives Matter Plans Armed "Peace Officers" Like the "Black Panthers, Nation of Islam"
By Leisa Audette | Jun 4, 2020
A "blueprint" for the way forward for the Black Lives Movement will be unveiled in Times Square in New York on Sunday at 12 p.m. and delivered to communities across the country, according to a leader of the New York BLM movement. Hawk Newsome spoke with Fox News about the "blueprint" of the group, and it's frightening. He discussed having a force like the "Black Panthers or Nation of Islam" to help fight against the "war on the poor" and "anti-blackness."
It's interesting that Democrats and activists have suddenly been pushing to "Defund the Police" (see below) and now this? It's almost like this is coordinated like everything else with the left.
The New York leader of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement made several stunning statements claiming the group will have an armed branch of "peace officers" in their war on the police.
After the death of George Floyd, the BLM New York chapter Chairman Newsome described in shocking terms of plans to be like the Black Panthers by matching fire with fire:
"We're talking about self-defense. We're talking about defending our communities. You know what it's like to see a taser pointed at a 7-year-old, you know what it's like to see a 67-year-old black woman pepper-sprayed and pushed to the ground?"
Trending: Armed LGBT and BLM Activists Show Up For "Armed Violent Protests" at MI Capitol After Left-Wing Media Warned About "Militias, Right-Wing Activists, White Supremacists" Descending On Capitol
"We are preparing and training our people to defend our communities."
Newsome said there was a meeting where BLM discussed a "pathway forward" where a plan called "Black Opts" will help to liberate black people:
"We have black Special Forces officers advising us, and we will teach and train people in our communities, the Black Opts department of Black Opportunities."
Newsome confirmed that BLM "peace officers" would be armed and open carry guns.
"We pattern ourselves after the Black Panthers, after the Nation of Islam, we believe that we need an army to defend ourselves. We will build and train peace officers to keep the peace in our communities, to defend our communities, to keep our communities safe."
Newsome spoke of the "war on the poor" and "anti-blackness":
"When we start talking about black opportunities and building our war chest to defend ourselves from the war on the poor. .. to defend ourselves against the war that is anti-blackness in America, then people will have to meet a certain criteria."
THE "DEFUND THE POLICE" MOVEMENT IS SPREADING TO DEMOCRATIC-RUN CITIES:
The "Defund the Police" movement has been gaining steam on social media. Notable Democrats and even Hillary Clinton's former press secretary got in on promoting the movement:
The Minneapolis City Council is all for it, and Hollywood celebrities are also pushing for a ban on law enforcement.
It's hard to believe, but with the move in Blue states to a "light touch" on criminals and now the George Floyd case, it's believable. That "soft touch" didn't work out very well for Democrats during the riots, but the left still wants the cops gone. Even though about 10k people have been arrested across the country during the riots, many of those have been released with no bail due to the "light touch" on enforcement.
Hollywood leftists have been outspoken on the movement by signing a "Defund the Police" letter:
John Legend, Megan Rapinoe, Other Celebrities Sign 'Defund The Police' Letter https://t.co/EGquugoqsO
— Daily Caller (@DailyCaller) June 3, 2020
After Hillary Clinton's former press secretary tweeted out about the movement today, he's been slammed on social media:
The movement is getting pushback from notable people. James Woods advised the "Defund the Police" supporters to opt-out of protection from the police:
Why don't you folks who want to "defund the police" simply "opt out" from police protection? You could all send notarized letters to your local departments that you no longer wish to participate. Police costs would be less. Taxpayers would save money. Win/win for everybody! #Fool https://t.co/e3iXqHFs0I
— James Woods (@RealJamesWoods) June 4, 2020
Senator Ted Cruz:
Hillary's press secretary makes the 2020 Dem agenda clear:
"Defund the police."
Take your guns.
Cheer on the rioters & looters who burn your city.
It's like Mad Max at Thunderdome, brought home to America. https://t.co/mlVZWI2Pf1
— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) June 4, 2020
Now we have a move by Black Lives Matter to have "peace officers" running around enforcing against the police. A spokesperson for the effort described their purpose:
"We pattern ourselves after the Black Panthers, after the Nation of Islam, we believe that we need an arm to defend ourselves, We will build and train peace officers to keep the peace in our communities, to defend our communities, to keep our communities safe."
One like Black Panthers, Nation of Islam, and the other our police force. Frightening.
PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS IT RIGHT:
"The Radical Left Democrats' new theme is "Defund the Police". Remember that when you don't want Crime, especially against you and your family. This is where Sleepy Joe is being dragged by the socialists. I am the complete opposite, more money for Law Enforcement!" – PRESIDENT TRUMP

The Jury Delivered A 'No Humans Involved' Verdict...
Yousef's grieving father Ghaleb Makki shouted: 'F*** you! Where's the justice for my son! Where's the justice?' as the jury delivered the verdict today.
Looks like it's right there in front of you:
The stabbing was an 'accident waiting to happen' as all three indulged in 'idiotic fantasies' playing middle class gangsters, the jury heard.
Despite the privileged backgrounds of both defendants, they led 'double lives'.
Calling each other 'Bro' and 'Fam' and the police 'Feds', the defendants and Yousef smoked cannabis, road (sic) around on bikes, 'chilling' and listened to rap or drill music. They would post videos on social media, making threats and posing with 'shanks' or knives.
The court heard how hours before the stabbing, Boy B arranged a £45 cannabis deal and the teenagers planned to rob the drug dealer, a 'soft target'. But the robbery went wrong and Yousef and Boy B fled, leaving Boy A to take a beating.
Boy A then later pushed Yousef who called him a 'p****' and punched him in the face. He told the jury Yousef pulled out a knife and he responded by also taking out a knife and his victim was accidentally stabbed.
Not really a tough one for the jury, was it? And this so-called 'father' should be ashamed of his self-pity when he reads about this case:
The grieving father of a four-year-old who was killed by the driver of a stolen car has slammed the criminal justice system for 'letting his daughter down'.
Violet-Grace Youens's parents are not allowed to read out their full victim impact statement, including details of her horrific injuries, in court in case their daughter's killer is upset by it.
They have legitimate grounds for anguish.
