Schiller noted the challenges Apple's engineers faced by making the iPhone's iSight camera thinner to fit inside its slimmer case.
Making something thinner is the worst thing you can do.
The iSight module on the back remains at eight megapixels (3,264-by-2,448 pixels), but is now a quarter thinner.
It now uses sapphire crystal ("sapphire is renowned for being hard and crystal clear") and sports dynamic low-light mode for sharper photos in the dark, as well as precision lens alignment. The module is backside illuminated and also has a hybrid IR filter.
It still has a fifth lens like on the iPhone 4S and f/2.4 aperture.
Based on the next-generation ISP on the A6 chip, the iSight module takes advantage of smart filters and spatial noise reduction technology to make your images sharper.
Thanks to the reworked camera internals and the speedy A6 chip, the iPhone 5 is "40 percent faster on photo capture".
Last, but not the least, the iPhone 5 has panorama mode for some interesting snaps where you pan your phone around and the software stitches the images together to create "seamless transitions between these photos".
This panorama shot taken on an iPhone 5 is 28 megapixels.
As for video recording, you still get full HD 1080p capability with "improved video stabilization".
As a bonus, the iSight camera now lets you take pictures while recording.
Besides being 25 percent thinner, the iSight camera on the back of the iPhone 5 improves upon the iPhone 4S camera with dynamic low light mode, precision lens alignment and sapphire crystal.
Were you expecting more, perhaps?


Blepharitis is a common eyelid inflammation that sometimes is associated with bacterial eye infection. Symptoms include dry eyes or certain types of skin conditions such as 'acne rosacea'.
Anterior Blepharitis affects the exterior of the eye where the eyelashes are attached.
Posterior Blepharitis linked to dysfunction of Meibomian glands within the eyelids that secrete oils to help lubricate the eye.
The most common treatment of Blepharitis is the ongoing regime of eyelid hygiene. Besides a program of eyelid hygiene extreme symptoms can be treated with topical and oral medicine.

Hawaiian Airlines' Airport Operations Lowering Fuel Use, Carbon Emissions
April 25, 2017, 10:55 AM HST
* Updated April 25, 10:57 AM
In an ongoing effort to reduce fuel burn and carbon emissions, Hawaiian Airlines powered all wide-body aircraft arriving at airports in in a single day with electric power at the gate.

The carrier's initiative to connect parked aircraft to more efficient external electricity is helping to reduce pilots' use of the onboard auxiliary power unit which burns jet fuel to keep lights, avionics systems, air conditioning and other equipment on.
The work has the potential to reduce Hawaiian's APU usage by an estimated 30 minutes per flight, saving some 62,000 gallons of fuel annually and cutting CO2 emissions by 5,933 metric tons. That is roughly enough fuel to fly the airline's wide-body fleet for a day, while the carbon reductions equate to removing 1,252 cars off the streets each year.
In the past year, the airline made headway toward a goal of having gate power available to its entire wide-body fleet within three minutes of arrival as aircraft fly between Hawaiʻi, 11 US gateway cities and 10 international destinations. Line service and ground crews have met the target on 92% of flights on average.
On April 12, in what is internally celebrated as "100% Day," employees reached a milestone when 47 wide-body flights received external power as aircraft arrived at airports from Auckland to New York.
"It's very much like a carefully choreographed dance requiring great timing and the tight coordination of everyone involved in bringing our airplanes to the gate once they've landed," said Jon Snook, Hawaiian's executive vice president and chief operating officer. "Our teams must ensure the availability of working external power at the gate, monitor minute-by-minute the estimated arrival time of the aircraft, and ensure all personnel are in place and ready to receive the aircraft."
Hawaiian provides external gate power to its narrow-body fleet that average 170 daily flights between the Hawaiian Islands. The airline also owns portable units that can be deployed in the event jetbridge electricity is unavailable or malfunctioning.
Hawaiian's success in reducing APU usage aligns with the carrier's ongoing commitment to reduce the impact of aviation on the environment.
The airline is investing in fuel efficient aircraft by adding 19 new A321neos starting later this year.
Last year, the airline conducted two demonstration flights to Honolulu from Brisbane and Auckland using a series of gate-to-gate environmental best practices outlined by the Asia and Pacific Initiative to Reduce Emissions.
Hawaiian became the first US carrier to join an international scientific monitoring project that enlists commercial airlines to research climate change and air quality worldwide. Hawaiian partnered with the In-service Aircraft for a Global Observing System venture by equipping one Airbus A330-200 aircraft with an atmospheric monitoring tool that will collect valuable data throughout the airline's far-reaching network covering the Pacific, Asia and North America.

The death of reggaetón singer Fabio Legarda, of 29 years, has awakened a wave of pain and indignation in social networks due to the circumstances in which the event occurred.
The artist died around 5:00 in the afternoon, after having been caught in the middle of an exchange of shots in Medellín: a stray bullet generated the deadly wound.
After confirming the news, singers like the Colombian Maluma or Carlos Vives expressed their condolences and lamented the situation of violence in Colombia. "No more bullets that blind dreams, that youth reach old with a happy heart … Country, do not kill if you want to be a country one day." Rest in peace #Legarda"wrote Vives.
Colombian composer and singer Juan Fernando Fonseca joined the messages of regret and criticized that in his country "the bullets are still lost and lives are found along the way".
It hurts to know that in a country the bullets are still lost and lives are found along the way. This is not fair Legarda. Neither with you nor with anyone.
The condolences were also addressed to the singer Luisa Fernanda, a couple of Legarda, who dedicated a message on his Instagram account to the artist's memory: "You are the most beautiful man in this world, the love of my life, my angel. God knows his will, "says part of the note.
The mayor of Medellin, Federico Gutiérrez, soon expressed his dismay at the death of the singer and sent a "hug of solidarity" to his family and friends. "In the midst of sadness I still believe that the day will come when we will not have to cry more absurd deaths," said the local authority in a trill.
In 2018, according to figures cited by local media, there was more than 600 homicides in Medellín, which exceeded the statistics of violent deaths of the previous year in that city. The death of the artist has returned the debate, at least in social networks, on the security scheme in the capital of Antioquia and the critics to the policy of flexibilization of the bearing of weapons that the uribismo has proposed.
Sorry about Legarda. Another person who should not have gone like that. Sad to tell one more and to say that, with him, there are already 66 murders so far this year at this time of day in Medellín.
I do not know what to think.
I hurt young artists who leave by decision of others.
It hurts how cruel and insensitive we are.


Can anyone sugguest what could be the potential cause?
I've seen this happen when users move around sites. If a user moves between sites, they need access to local telco for each site they may visit/use. The system will determine the call is local to site B and attempt the call there. The user, not having access to this trunk group, will get denied and hear reorder tone. If this is the issue you are encountering you will find windows application event log entries for each reorder tone received.

It is essential to remember to be practical and to keep your emotions in check during this process, as changing your major is a significant decision that could have both a positive and negative impact. You must ensure that you have thoroughly thought about every single aspect that might have an impact on your future when taking this decision.
Choosing a major is one of the most important decisions you will ever make.
One of the most common reasons that a student ponders changing his or her major is that it was hastily chosen in the first place. Also, he/she may have been swayed towards a specific program for the wrong reasons (i.e. following in the footsteps of a family member, or trying to stick close to a friend). It is crucial to make sure that the major you chose represents what interests you long-term and for which you can see a viable career. If you are majoring in an area that other people have chosen for you, it could lead to you being uninterested in and unfocused on the material you are learning, which will undoubtedly lead to feeling resentful, struggling with some of the classes, and possibly even dropping out of the program altogether. However, if you have chosen the program for the right reasons, and you have made an informed decision, you will, therefore, be engaged in the topic, you will take your studies seriously, prepare thoroughly for exams, and be eager to complete assignments. This will undoubtedly result in a greater chance of success in not only completing your studies, but in obtaining a career in your field.
Another reason that a student may be thinking of a change in their major is that their classes simply do not interest them. There is usually an area or two of a program that lacks intrigue, however this should not be a determining factor when deciding whether or not to make a change in your major. You should only become concerned if every course in your program does not interest you at all. You must try to keep your eyes on the prize, which is a career in your area of your choice.
When is the Best Time to Change your Major?
Time is of the essence when deciding whether or not to change your major part-way through your current studies. If you are still a freshman, you probably have more flexibility and would likely be able to use your completed classes as elective credits in your new major. However, if you are already a sophomore or junior, changing your major could be a little trickier, unless you are comfortable with starting from scratch. If you have just started college and you are still in the first few credits, making a change in your major shouldn't be that complicated. As there are schools with heavy requirements in general education, all those credits might not get lost at all, and you won't have to extend too long the time you scheduled for education. However, if you have already completed a great deal of your current program, you might have much more to gain just by sticking with it and finishing, and starting a new program afterwards. So, basically, the earlier you decide, the better!
Every major has its challenges, and its not a good idea to chose a major because it is 'easy'. All majors have difficult areas that need studying, so do expect some challenges regardless of which major you decide upon. Be sure to research potential career opportunities in the field of work that interests you to understand areas such as earning potential, the demand for professionals, and how competitive the field is. Also, when considering such a change, you should always keep in mind the long-term flexibility of your career; i.e. will your field allow you to branch off into other areas if you want?
Don't forget, more time spent in college will mean more money spent, and less time for you to work and earn income. Therefore, it is a good idea to prepare a new budget and check about getting additional financial aid, if needed, prior to making a final decision.
How will this potential change impact any award package I am due to receive when I finish my current major's program?
Will my scholarship be affected by a switch in my major?
What is the cost of taking up this new program major?
Will I have a new graduation date?

Icarus Films chooses wisely regarding selecting the 2012 Chinese film "Three Sisters" for the return to its roots of distributing "innovative and provocative" documentaries after releasing several equally stimulating fictional foreign films, such as the Unreal TV reviewed pitch black "Heathers" style "Alena." "Sisters" hits real and virtual store shelves on June 13, 2017. One of many terrific things about this movie is that it achieves the documentary ideal of equally entertaining and educating the audience.
The nine major film festival awards, including several "Best Film" wins, reflect the compelling nature of director Wang Bing turning his camera on the titular siblings and allowing the audience to watch them surprisingly happily go about their impoverished daily lives sans narration and talking heads. Additional praise comes in the form of "Sisters" being a New York Times Critics' Pick.
Ten year-old YingYing is the surrogate mother to 6 year-old Zhenzhen, and the baby in every sense 4 year-old Fenfen. The actual mother is completely out of the picture, and Dad is in the city trying to earn money. A nearby aunt provides some support.
Watching these girls living alone on an isolated farm in 19th century conditions as if doing so if normal is more fascinating than anything from Hollywood in the past several years. One scene in which uncomplaining children collect dung in baskets with their bare hands makes you want to rip the video game console out of the hands of every spoiled brat in the Western world who refuses to clean his or her room and drag that ungrateful cur out to live in the garden shed for a weekend.
The roughly 2:30 run time and the 2.5 years of filming in "Sisters" provide a great deal of ground to cover. It starts well with an opening scene that perfectly introduces the concept of the documentary in a relatable manner. YingYing is getting everyone ready in the morning; Zhenzhen is picking on Fenfen. That meanness prompts Fenfen to cry, which requires that YingYing scold one sister and comfort the other.
Another relatable segment has YingYing have a schoolyard conflict and attend a typical Chinese-style class a short while later.
One of the more amusing moments relates to a baby goat misbehaving. Other memorable ones include Dad and his father discuss the former hiring a matchmaker to find him a new wife. Dad stating that he wants any potential mate to fully know what she is getting into contributes a fun "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" element.
A scene in which Dad and the younger children board a bus provides a good sense of the bureaucracy of China; suffice it to say that this event fully illustrates the regimented style of life in that country.
Politics only directly comes into play once. The agenda of a meeting that Dad attends includes discussing the expansion of electric service. The gist is that the government is pursuing what seems to be a standard policy of benefiting the haves at the literal and figurative expenses of the have-nots.
The special feature includes a comprehensive 16-page booklet on both "Sisters" and Bing. The insights in an essay provides a strong "You Are There" sense.


A marriage is a vital event into the resides of a couple who will be signed up with as you to organize for that special big day and imagined products tend to be put to start. Who knows best but both with a helping give offered to ease the burden.
The absolute most best time for you starting is actually a year or months prior to the marriage plus the initial consideration is where the ceremony happens. For Catholics, a church is the sole option and others opt for a Christian ritual. Per year prior to the wedding gives a better possiblity to seize an occasion preference so when done no one can`t remove from you if you do not backup.
The second issue is the reception venue maybe not not even close to the ceremonial soil, if at all possible. Many church buildings have halls complement the reception and a little miracle turns a dazzling room or a romantic landscaping setting to fit a style. Use the time to pick a location as odds reaches hand.
The third interest is the items services in case it is focused or perhaps not. Catering services abound and it does not publish difficulty or if you choose for a hotel reception it really is yet another set-up. They will have menus set to select from and what exactly is better way to compare but food sampling that is needed for both to evaluate.
To learn additional about this page and wedding planner, please go to the web site click to read more.
I know, I am aware, but instead of thinking of the fellow wedding coordinators as `the competition`, consider them as a limitless source of recommendations for your wedding ceremony planning businesses. Indeed, recommendations!
Suppose both you and I tend to be both wedding event coordinators in the same town. A bride involves me requiring help with only day-of wedding treatments. The thing is I recently made a decision to work on full-service wedding receptions best. Instead rotate their aside, I contact you and query if you are interested and accessible to help her. Or perhaps a bride requests the pro wedding preparation services however you`re currently reserved on the wedding. Envision exactly how pleased your own bride will be when you can recommend her in my opinion, another fab wedding event expert.
You get the idea? Unless (or until) you`ve an entourage of event planners working for you, it`s unlikely that one can manage every one of the wedding ceremony planning companies in your town. Become familiar with one other `professional` wedding event coordinators on the market...you`ll getting so pleased which you performed.
The next action will be make a listing of the particular suppliers you may like to fulfill. A great place to start is the local seller listing regarding the Knot. Don`t contact people at this time. During this period you are just generating a list. See supplier web pages, read bride reviews and you will quickly get a feel of that you`d prefer to discover better.
Local bridal series is another resource for wedding event providers. Typically the tv series organizers printing an application and record wedding event seller labels from the bridal show internet site.

A: Your question is very confusing, so I probably misunderstood it.
In the unlikely case I got it right, you're trying to do the same task for different websites 26 times. Sounds like something a loop could do.
Here's a sample Python code:
urls = ['http://foo.bar', 'http://otherfoo.otherbar',...]
for url in urls:
    driver.get(url)
    #your selenium code here

A: This is something I have had to do myself, and is possible using a set of plugins called selite or also selblocks (although selite contains a version of this plugin already)
With these plugins it will allow you to save the list of URLs as an external json file, then to loop the test case you will just need to put the 'Forjson' command calling the file at the stage where you want your loop to begin, and the 'Endforjson' where you want it to end. All the documentation is in the link. Hope it helps.

A: You can keep base url as "http://". You then need to use readCSV for all server urls and while loop for repeating for number of servers.

7:1 The LORD told Noah, "Go into the boat with your family. Of all the people on the planet, I can see that you are the only good soul.
7:2 Take with you seven pairs of all the kinds of animals you use in sacrifices.1 Take the male and the female of each. And then take one pair of every other kind of animal.
7:3 Take seven pairs of birds as well—male and female—to make sure they survive the flood.
7:5 Noah did everything God told him to do.
7:6 Noah was 600 years old at the time of the flood.
7:7 Noah and his family—wife, sons, and sons' wives—boarded the boat to escape the flood.
7:9 boarded the boat, two by two, male and female, just as God told Noah to do it.
7:10 Seven days later the flood started.
7:11 Underground water erupted like geysers at the same time the rain fell in torrents. It all started when Noah was 600 years, two months, and 17 days old.
7:12 Rain fell 40 days and 40 nights.
7:13 On the same day the rain started, Noah went into the boat with his wife and his sons—Shem, Ham, and Japheth—along with their wives.
7:14 With them they had every kind of animal—wild and mild—including every critter that crawls on the earth and every kind of bird that flies.
7:15 Two by two, every kind of creature that drew a breath went into the boat with Noah.
7:16 With everyone inside the boat, as God had commanded Noah, the LORD shut the door behind them.
7:17 For 40 days the floodwater rose, lifting the boat high above the ground.
7:18 As the water continued to rise, the boat floated safely through the storm.
7:21 All life on earth died—everything that moved: birds, livestock, wild animals, every kind of swarming bug, as well as the humans.
7:22 If it lived on land and drew a breath it died.
7:23 To sum it up, God washed away every living, breathing life form on the face of the earth: people, animals, crawling critters, and birds. Everyone and everything died. The only survivors were Noah and those with him on the boat.
7:24 The floodwater covered the earth for 150 days.
These were animals that the Laws of Moses would later label as ritually clean, or kosher.
Seven meters. Literally 15 cubits. A cubit was about 18 inches, or 46 cm.
The highest mountain is Mount Everest at 29,029 feet (8850 m). That's about the cruising altitude of a 747 passenger jet.
Most Christians seem to believe the Flood story as it's reported in the Bible. But other Christians say there's something fishy about it. Of the following questions, which some Christians and non-Christians ask about the Flood, which do you think is hardest to explain? And how would you explain it?
How could a pair of every species of animal fit on a boat a little longer than a football field and half as wide— and then live on that boat for a year? A cruise ship that size would hold only about 1,500 guests on a 10-day tour.
Without satellite technology, how could anyone know that the Flood covered "all the mountains on the earth, rising 22 feet [7 m] above the highest mountain peak" (7:19-20)?
How could a flood cover the planet 5½ miles high, covering Mount Everest (29,029 feet, 8850 m), when geologists say there is not nearly enough water on the planet to do that?
How could people and animals breathe if they were floating in a boat at the "cruising altitude of a 747 passenger jet" (7:20 footnote)?
Bible writers use the number 40 a lot. Flood rains fell "40 days and 40 nights" (7:12). Moses met with God on Mount Sinai for 40 days (Exodus 24:18). Jesus fasted 40 days (Matthew 4:2). Should we read that number literally, or could it simply be a way of saying "for a long time," or "for a few weeks"?
There's another flood story. It's from what is now Iraq. The story sounds a lot like the Flood story in the Bible. In A Visual Walk Through Genesis, in a feature called "Bible flood story versus Iraqi flood story," pages 56-58, Miller gives us a long chart detailing the similarities between the Genesis story and the one that shows up in the Epic of Gilgamesh, a story several hundred years older than Moses. In both cases a man builds a boat, survives the flood with his family and animals, releases a dove to see if the water has receded, and offers a sacrifice when they disembark the boat. Does the similarity bother you or does it simply reinforce the truth of the Bible story?
Do you think God actually punished the world by sending a flood that wiped out civilization? Or is it possible, as some Christians theorize, that an ancient writer had heard about a mega flood in stories passed on by earlier generations. And the writer he presumed God sent the Flood, since the people in the ancient world thought God controlled everything that happened, for better or worse?
LIFE APPLICATION. If Noah did anything even close to what is described in the Bible, it took an incredible amount of faith in God. What is the biggest leap of faith in God you have seen someone take? And when have you had to put more faith in God than felt comfortable?

This man has a great deal of common sense, because he lives in 1952.
"Nobody has any common sense these days!"
~ Everybody born before 1980 on common sense
Common sense is the ability of commoners to "sense" what is true and what is untrue, without having to think about it. A related term is horse sense, the ability of an ordinary working-class citizen to intuitively understand that he is supposed to ride a horse instead of the other way around. Both terms are distinct from royal sense, which is the inability of kings and queens to stop bleeding when you cut them.
As a concept, common sense is similar to consensus, the philosophy that if many people believe something, they cannot possibly be wrong, unless those people are foreigners. It is, however, distinct from comsensus, which is a portmanteau of "common" and "sense" that does not exist in the English language.
Common sense reached its apex in America in the early 1950s when everyone had it. Unfortunately, no one these days has any common sense anymore. This is entirely due to the actions of hippies, lawyers, and Democrats.

Common sense in the pre-modern era
Common sense was rare in antiquity, and examples of its absence abound. For example, in 218 BCE, Hannibal marched an army of war elephants over the Alps in an attempt to conquer Rome, but managed only to significantly decrease the price of frozen elephant meat in Carthaginian markets. Another classic example took place about 250 years later, when a bunch of Jews started worshiping a dead carpenter.
An early attempt at defining the principles of common sense was undertaken by Thomas Paine in 1776, with his publication of the pamphlet "Common Sense." The pamphlet was an attempt to convince his countrymen to stop trying to fashion false teeth out of wood, as it tended to rot in their mouths, but it quickly devolved into a ludicrous anti-Monarchical tirade, forever relegating it to obscurity.
In 1922, Calvin Coolidge ran for President under the slogan "A return to normalcy." Some modern observers see this as an early attempt to lay down the foundations of common sense. Unfortunately, in 1922, "normalcy" referred to sub-prime lending and flappers.
Modern origins
A victim of being "leaped into," this old woman has fallen, and cannot get up.
On August 16, 1945, the day after VJ-Day, working-class Americans collectively realized that complex ideologies such as Communism, Fascism, and science had caused the death of millions of people, some of whom weren't even Jews. They reasoned that what the world needed was a new system of determining right from wrong. Thus, the guiding principle of common sense was arrived upon: If a bunch of folks says something in a thick drawl, it is true.
Common sense quickly gave rise to many important principles. The first of these principles was "look before you leap." That just seemed to make good common sense. Prior to 1945, an inordinate number of accidents had occurred due to people leaping into things without first looking to see what they were leaping into. In fact, the leading cause of death among senior citizens was "leaped into."
Common sense quickly solved this problem, and "leaped into" dropped seven places on the leading causes of death chart, to be replaced by "Mysterious lung illness of an unknown cause that is definitely not cigarette smoking." The common sense movement had been born.
Common sense in the 1950s
Throughout the 1950s, more and more common sense principles took root. "Don't piss into the wind" reduced the incidence of urine-stained trousers by nearly 80%. "America is the best country ever" reduced the incidence of living Koreans by 12%. And "Don't drink from the same fountain as colored people lest you catch Nigger Cooties" reduced the incidence of Nigger Cooties by 100%, although some liberals would later claim that Nigger Cooties was not a real thing, to begin with.
This was the Golden Age of America, a period of time when everyone agreed on everything. The sole exception was the beatniks, who rejected the principle that all truth was spoken with a lazy drawl and instead asserted that all truth was spoken by alcoholics in black turtleneck sweaters. Fortunately, beatniks proved to be extremely stabbable.
The apex of common sense was reached on October 4, 1957, with the first broadcast of Leave it to Beaver. This television program depicted an American family with a great deal of common sense, including the sense to bestow a nickname on their youngest child that was a synonym for the vagina. The show related common sense principles to mainstream America such as "children should not cut their own hair" and "black people do not exist."
The death of common sense
For those without comedic tastes, the so-called experts at Wikipedia have an article about Common sense.
Sadly, the era of common sense was not to last. In the early 1960s, teenagers began rejecting the common sense values of their parents because they were ungrateful little snots unwilling to act like men and get shot to death in Vietnam like they were supposed to. Instead, they began dying their clothes and aggressively neglecting their hygiene.
This set into a motion a chain of events that slowly unraveled all of America's common sense traditions. Before long, the incidence of urine-stained trousers began to rise, and finally, during the great Nigger Cootie Outbreak of 1966, Americans everywhere realized that no one had any goddamn common sense anymore.
The worst, however, had yet to come. These children grew up to be lawyers and instituted bizarre and inscrutable layers of bureaucratic policies. For example, they assigned zip codes to American neighborhoods, causing their bewildered parents to remark that soon they'd be giving their children numbers for names. Soon, American society was hopelessly ensnared in confusing red tape. This phenomenon would later become the subject of the great literary work, "How Many Bureaucrats Does it Take to Change a Light Bulb?"
Postmodern instances of common sense
Commonsense conservatism
Palin, articulating the principles of commonsense conservatism and/or getting ready to poke herself in the eye.
In the early 21st century, there has been a movement to resurrect common sense. This movement has been led by Alaskan ex-governor and failed vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, who has repeatedly called for "commonsense conservatism" in American government.
Commonsense conservatism is the theory that any sentence preceded by the word "golly," and/or any assertion that annoys Alec Baldwin, is probably true. "Ask not what you can do for your country; ask what your country can do for you" is not a commonsense conservative concept, because it contains too many words, as well as a semicolon. However, "Golly, Alec Baldwin sure is gay," is.
Commonsense conservatism asserts that certain political policies should be undertaken because they have catchy slogans. For example, it posits that we should drill in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge because "Drill, baby, drill." When a commonsense conservative is told that this is a non-sequitur, they are expected to reply, "Golly!"
Proponents of commonsense conservatism believe that the cause of commonsense conservatism is bolstered by repeating the phrase "commonsense conservatism" as often as possible. One who believes in commonsense conservatism is doing commonsense conservatism no favors by not continuously labeling all their political beliefs as "commonsense conservatism." When asked about commonsense conservative policies by a respected journalist such as Rush Limbaugh, a commonsense conservative will go to great lengths to remind that journalist that she is a commonsense conservative and that her policies are examples of commonsense conservatism.
Commonsense conservatism.
Image macros
An image macro.
Beyond the political sphere, a movement also exists among teenage nerds to resurrect the concept of common sense using image macros. The underlying philosophy of this movement is that if a nerd is able to identify that something silly is happening in a photograph, that nerd is by implication much smarter than the subjects of the said photo.
Common sense image macros often take the form of "demotivational posters" with the caption "Common sense." In theory, this is a throwback to the original principle of common sense as a form of consensus, inasmuch as the creators are all doing exactly the same thing as one another (i.e., they believe it is common sense to create an image macro based on common sense because everyone is doing it). In practice, however, it is a reflection of the fact that teenage nerds are not very creative.
In the example on the right, an X-ray of a mangled hand is depicted, with the caption "Common sense: get some!" This is because no one with any common sense could possibly become injured. It is intended to convey the message that the creator is superior to the subject of the photo, in that the creator has the ability to open a ketchup bottle.
A third example of common sense in the postmodern era is my mother, who is the only person in the world who has a lick of common sense anymore. This is, of course, according to my mother.

FORT MYERS, Fla. — A Florida woman has been sentenced to five years and 10 months in federal prison for attempting to send cell phones to the Middle East to be used as bomb detonators by the Islamic State terrorist group.
Alison Marie Sheppard was sentenced Friday in Fort Myers federal court. She pleaded guilty last year to attempting to provide material support to the Islamic State.
Court documents say Sheppard began using social media applications in 2016 to connect with other ISIS supporters and eventually began communicating with two undercover law enforcement agents. She sent 10 cell phones to one of the agents in 2017, believing they would be used in pressure cooker bombs.

A Blog by Jonathan Low
The Reason the Future Of Television Will Include A Lot Of Reality TV
The medium may be changing but the eyeballs are still captivated by the same content, which makes it much more cost-effective, if not intellectually stimulating. JL
Tim Peterson reports in Digiday:
Reality TV shows and other unscripted fare are proving indispensable to TV networks and streamers. "They don't make the best press releases, but they make the most thriving business. " Whereas scripted shows tend to cost millions of dollars per episode, unscripted series cost low- to mid-six figures per episode to generate higher profits. "You can either do three premium scripted series a year, or for the same amount of money, you can do 30 reality formats. If you get one [to succeed], the chances of watching repeatedly will be higher."
The reality of the TV business today is that reality TV can be better business.
Once described by Netflix's content chief Ted Sarandos as "disposable," reality TV shows and other unscripted fare are proving to be indispensable to TV networks and even streamers, including Netflix, whose businesses face varying degrees of uncertainty as traditional TV viewership shifts to streaming and new streaming services enter the fray.
"They don't make the best press releases, but they make some of the strongest, most thriving business," said one TV network executive. Whereas scripted shows tend to cost millions of dollars per episode to produce, unscripted series typically cost low- to mid-six figures per episode to generate higher profits for the networks that carry them.
High-quality scripted series like "The Crown" and "Fleabag" may draw accolades and audiences' interest. But, these prestige programs are expensive bets. Considering that 532 scripted series aired across TV and streaming in 2019 — up from 210 scripted shows in 2009 — the odds of those bets paying off are diminishing.
Unscripted shows, by contrast, may face similarly difficult odds, but their lower production costs lower the stakes. As a result, TV networks and streamers can load up on these shows relatively inexpensively to increase their odds that a viewer will find something to watch. And when an unscripted show succeeds, companies can quickly and cheaply produce more episodes of it and spin off related series.
"You can either choose to do three premium scripted series a year, or for the same amount of money, you can do 30 reality formats. Most won't work, but if you get one [to succeed], the chances of somebody watching repeatedly will be higher," said the TV network executive.
As people continue to cancel their pay-TV subscriptions and tune into streaming services, TV networks are turning to unscripted shows to help retain the viewers they have and protect their businesses' bottom lines. Discovery is counting on its unscripted programming to help it contend with deeper-pocketed competitors like Disney and WarnerMedia. Meanwhile, WarnerMedia is looking to fill its cable TV networks with more unscripted shows.
"We all know that general entertainment content … is not performing as well," AT&T COO and WarnerMedia CEO John Stankey said during the company's quarterly earnings call in January in reference to scripted series. In 2019, less than a quarter of cable TV's 25 highest rated original series were scripted shows, according to The Hollywood Reporter. A looming writers' strike may only lead to more of an emphasis among TV networks on unscripted series.
Unscripted programming can be especially attractive to TV networks because programming costs are becoming more of a concern as their revenue is at risk. The TV industry's shift from linear to streaming has endangered networks' dual-revenue model, in which they receive a carriage fee for every pay-TV subscriber in addition to the money they make from selling ads against their shows. While networks have been able to negotiate higher carriage fees and ad rates in recent years, that dynamic may be coming to a head as pay-TV providers become more willing to drop networks over carriage fees and advertisers grow frustrated with having to pay more money to reach fewer people on traditional TV. In 2019, six million people canceled their traditional pay-TV subscriptions, according to research firm MoffettNathanson.
The uncertainty around networks' revenue growth prospects is pushing the networks to reduce their programming costs, which has a ripple effect on the companies producing those programs. "The pressure from advertisers and [pay-TV] distributors is putting pressure on the channels, and the channels are putting that pressure onto the producers," said the TV network executive.
Unscripted show producers have picked up on this increased pressure. Not only are they receiving more notes from network executives on established series, but "a lot of the traditional unscripted buyers are now asking production companies to produce the same shows on smaller budgets," said one entertainment executive.
The current preoccupation with unscripted programming creates opportunities for producers, especially newer players. Since unscripted series are cheaper to produce, they serve as low-hanging fruit and a solid foundation for publishers that are looking to grow their studio businesses without breaking the bank.
For one publisher, unscripted shows account for roughly three-quarters of the company's current original programming mix, according to an executive at that publisher. That share will shift as the company plans to produce more scripted series over the next couple years. But for now, the company's entertainment arm needs to make sure it hits its financial targets, and unscripted series can be better suited to that end. "The economics of unscripted are easier for us to manage and have them be more favorable to our business," said the publishing executive.

Weekend review: ¡River Campeón! and a frankly ridiculous relegation endgame (video)
I'm going to quickly surmise Sunday's action from the relegation and title battles. First things first: River Plate are the new champions of Argentina, claiming their thirty-fifth Primera División title overall and their first since their return to the Primera in 2012, thanks to a 5-0 thrashing of Quilmes in the Estadio Monumental on Sunday evening. For drama, though, we had the relegation battle. At 3pm on Sunday, the following matches kicked off: Godoy Cruz v Racing; Colón v Olimpo and Arsenal v Atlético de Rafaela. Godoy had a point more than Colón and Atlético, so the maths, compared with the normal division and multiplication required by Argentina's system, were quite simple.
Godoy Cruz got a 2-1 win over Racing, who had a man sent off about a minute before Godoy's second goal, and who… well, are Racing. It was never really in doubt so tension was relatively low in Mendoza. But in Santa Fe and Sarandí… oh, boy.
Both the other matches were stuck at 1-1 going into stoppage time – if sides finish level on points, a playoff is used to decide who goes down, remember – until Lucas Albertengo broke through the Arsenal defence in Sarandí and put Atlético 2-1 up. With just two minutes of the season left, Colón were going down and Atlético were safe! TV cameras in Santa Fe treated viewers to tears and lots of hand-on-head lamentations from Colón supporters.
And then in Santa Fe, with ten seconds to go, Colón got a free kick which was hoisted into the box, Olimpo goalie Nereo Champagne blocked Lucas Alario's attempt… but the ball bounced straight back onto Alario's knee, ricocheted past Champagne and just inside the post. 2-1 to Colón. Level on points again, and that was how it finished. Colón have had a seriously topsy-turvy season, and will have to go through ninety more minutes of nail-biting before they can finally celebrate safety – or not, as the case may be.
The relegation playoff will be held on Saturday at 3pm in Rosario Central's stadium. Néstor Pitana will referee.
Shortly after those matches, River took to the pitch in El Monumental knowing a win would hand them the title; Estudiantes were two points behind, with Gimnasia three behind River. The two La Plata sides both lost; Estudiantes 2-1 away to Tigre, Gimnasia 1-0 at home to Boca. Meanwhile, River were making no such mistakes; Fernando Cavenaghi hit two, Gabriel Mercado scored with a diving header, Teo Gutiérrez wrapped things up with a simple finish and Cristian Ledesma made it 3-0 when he scored his first ever goal for the club in his one-hundred-and-eleventh appearance with the most perfectly struck thirty-five yarder you will ever see, before breaking into tears.
On Monday night, Vélez Sarsfield beat San Lorenzo 3-2 in a cracking match in the Nuevo Gasómetro. That win means Vélez leap above San Lorenzo into top spot of the 2013-14 season long table, and as such will go to next year's Copa Libertadores along with River, the winners of this year's Copa Argentina, the best Argentine side in this year's Copa Sudamericana, and the winners of the upcoming Torneo Transición.

United States Privacy Digest | Notes from the IAPP Editorial Director, July 12, 2019 Related reading: EDPB releases 2018 annual report
Notes from the IAPP Editorial Director, July 12, 2019
Jedidiah Bracy, CIPP/E, CIPP/US Jedidiah Bracy, CIPP/E, CIPP/US
Greetings from a humid Portsmouth, New Hampshire!
After a brief vacation and holiday break, I was welcomed back this week with a 1-2-3 punch for privacy news. Though not strictly related to the U.S., the U.K. Information Commissioner's Office essentially kicked off "GDPR 2.0" by notifying the public of its intent to fine British Airways $230 million and Marriott International $130 million for alleged GDPR violations. After many of you spent years preparing for the regulation, and followed a fairly quiet year for GDPR enforcement, it looks like the hammer is dropping. With these headline-grabbing fines, it's hard to imagine that other EU supervisory authorities will sit back in the coming months.
Not to be outdone, the Court of Justice of the EU heard the highly anticipated "Schrems II" case on data transfers, specifically the validity of standard contractual clauses and possibly the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield framework. This is, obviously, a big deal. Though we likely won't hear a final decision until early 2020, you can expect the court's advocate general to issue a non-binding opinion this December. Early reports suggest SCCs and the Shield could be on shaky ground. If you're looking for some answers, Bird & Bird Partner Ruth Boardman supplied the IAPP with some answers to "Schrems II"-related FAQs here.
The other notable development this week involves the nascent privacy tech vendor industry. Since 2017, we've been tracking the industry through our Privacy Tech Vendor Reports (stay tuned for our 2019 report in the coming weeks). Venture capital is beginning to fund several privacy tech vendors. This week alone, OneTrust announced it is now valued at $1.3 billion after securing $200 million in Series A funding, making it the first "unicorn" in the industry (a VC term for a startup valued at more than $1 billion). That news came the day after TrustArc announced it raised $70 million in Series D funding. BigID, Privitar, Radar and WireWheel, among others, have also secured major funding in recent months. There's even a new Privacy Tech Alliance geared toward aligning VC firms with vendors and other stakeholders.
This is a huge deal for the privacy industry. The regulatory ecosystem is growing increasingly complex, and regulators are hungry for enforcement with steep fines. It's the automated governance systems, centralized privacy management dashboards, data discovery and mapping technology, data subject access request tools and so much more that are now required in organizations. Excel spreadsheets and Word docs just aren't scalable or equipped to handle these new obligations.
The increased funding into the market also demonstrates the growing maturity of the privacy profession. This hopefully means growing budgets and greater visibility for the privacy office. It will also demand more communication between the legal, engineering and IT teams within the organization. True, the risk profiles for companies are increasing, but the privacy technology is here, and it's getting better.

Style Syllabus: Goodbye Fashion Week, Hello Family Weekend!
If the reddening leaves and cool weather doesn't clue you in, you can always tell it's fall when strange adults and small children start wandering around a campus normally reserved for 18- to 22-year-olds. Yep, Family Weekend is on its way, and schools across the country are in the throes of a bona fide makeover...so, why not seize the excuse to do the same for your wardrobe? Lawns are getting mowed and buildings repainted to keep the tuition flowing, and whether you're meeting your significant other's parents for the first time or just tagging along to dinner with a friend's family, it's time to dress to impress. Of course, unless Julia Restoin Roitfeld's a pal of yours, an outing with the 'rents may call for something a bit more modest than your usual trend-setting style, so here's an all-inclusive guide of perfect outfits for a first-rate first impression!
By Day—Keep cool and casual. If you've been through one of these hectic weekends before, you know it's jam-packed with every activity from hiking to wine-tasting, so it's best to stick with something versatile and comfortable.

I was the last one in my entire friend circle to switch to Chrome, and the main reason to ditch my beloved Firefox was the native user data synchronization feature of Chrome. It syncs all your open tabs, bookmarks, browsing history, installed extensions and apps, custom settings, saved passwords etc. across multiple devices. While the Mozilla devs are still struggling to improve sync feature of Firefox, Chrome Sync works brilliantly and almost in real time.
On first run, Chrome automatically prompts users to sign in to Chrome using their Google account. If you've already signed in to Chrome, you can check your sync settings by visiting Chrome's menu > Settings.
Click on the "Advanced sync settings" button to launch the settings panel as shown in the first screenshot, where you can disable or enable Chrome sync for individual browsing data. The default setting is to sync everything (bookmarks, history, open tabs, extensions and apps, auto-fill data, themes, saved password, site-specific settings). You may disable individual items as per your needs.
For example, I've disabled synchronization of apps and extensions because I use different computers for different purposes. On my primary desktop computer, I've lots of extensions installed, while on my Chromebook I enjoy the goodness of many awesome Chrome apps including my own Bing Background Wallpaper (which works only on Chrome OS).
Just to remind you here that Chrome on mobile platforms doesn't support extensions and apps yet.

Ray Kennedy was a 'mountain of a man' on Liverpool left after starring up front for Arsenal as Mark Lawrenson and Phil Neal reflect on 'outstanding' teammate
Sean O'Brien
Liverpool legends Mark Lawrenson and Phil Neal have paid tribute to former teammate Ray Kennedy following his death, aged 70.
Kennedy, who was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease in 1984, enjoyed a glittering, trophy-laden career – most notably at two clubs and in two different positions.
Kennedy is fondly remembered among Liverpool fans and legends alike
Having inspired Arsenal to the double in 1971, famously scoring the goal which clinched it at Tottenham, the fearsome striker joined the Reds in 1974 and found himself in a new role.
Iconic manager Bob Paisley decided to play Kennedy on the left, a decision which initially sparked confusion, but ultimately proved a masterstroke.
The newly-found left-winger would finish his Anfield career with three European Cups and five league titles.
Lawrenson, the legendary defender who played alongside Kennedy towards the end of his Liverpool career, believes the late forward's versatility in attack proved his class.
"If you ask Liverpool fans of that era, they will say what an outstanding player he was," Lawro told talkSPORT.
"The great thing about Ray was he was such a mild-mannered bloke. Everything was easy for him.
"Like the rest of us, he loved a beer, but the game was very easy for him.
"To be able to play for Arsenal as a striker and win the double, then go to Liverpool, play on the left-hand side, and win all those trophies?
"It just tells you how good he was."
He added: "When Ray signed for Liverpool, everybody assumed he would play up front, and they played him on the left side of midfield, and everyone thought, 'What are you doing that for?'
"I'll tell you what, he was brilliant there.
"I didn't play that many games with him, but you could just tell what a great player he was.
"He never ever gave the ball away, he was a mountain of a man on that left-side of midfield."
Kennedy enjoyed an illustrious career at both Liverpool and Arsenal
And the man who starred on the other side of Paisley's midfield, Neal, remembers Kennedy's astonishing left foot.
Neal told talkSPORT: "With Arsenal, he played up front and Bob changed him to a left-sided player.
"I was on the other side, but what a left foot Ray Kennedy had!
"Both with delivering passes for other people and shooting ability."
Neal continued: "He was a cool-headed person. He didn't flap at a goal chance, he'd just put it away, smack it in.
"He made goals for another people. He was an ongoing favour for everyone around him. Me as well."

Traveling to Italy twice each year has been part of the plan we put in place some years ago. Determined to create "enchantment" in a European studio was part of our dream. We made the commitment and then followed through, however, the reality of the process is often something altogether different than the dream.
It was always interesting to go through customs to get "approved" for entry, and sobering to realize that we aren't pre-authorized to enter another country. We are very aware that it is a "privilege" rather than a "right" to do what we do.
Then we thought about our own "customs." We concluded that it's usually our own self-imposed restrictions that prevent us from going anywhere in this "world." As usual, making up our minds, and switching to another perspective, freed us up to enter new and undiscovered places—clearing customs.


It's the happy-go-lucky 3 Amigos (in play since we began this goofy metaphor last fall), which would signal macro changes to come. When you are talking about the macro however, things move slowly and to date, only one of our riders has made it to his destination.
To review, they are Amigos 1-3, Chevy, Steve and Martin.
Below we'll review a daily (short-term) and monthly (long-term) chart of each to check the status.
We noted Amigo #1's eyes closed as stocks vs. gold took a big plunge in early February and again in March. This has actually set a lower highs, lower lows downtrend in 2018, and the swings have been very dynamic. Right now we are on an up swing and if you are a gold bug and this ratio rises above the March high please prepare to take caution, as the macro would be moving against you, at least relative to risk 'on' assets. But for now the lower highs and lower lows daily trend is intact.
The big picture uptrend in SPX/Gold remains intact and our upside target is higher still, at around 2.5 which, while not shown on this chart is roughly a 38% Fib retrace from the 2011 low. We have noted that taking out the September 2017 low (shown above) would put cyclical players on notice for bad things to come. The ratio has not threatened that level. We are still cyclical and risk 'on' by this measure. But if the daily chart's down trend resumes trend changes would have to start somewhere and that somewhere is a daily chart.
It has not been rocket science. Ever since we established the Continuum ™ as a way not to get fooled by the financial media and the hysterical news of the day, the 30 year yield and its monthly EMA 100 limiter (red dashed line) have been a simple guide about when to have caution on a rising yields stance. After all, decades of consistent history should be respected, shouldn't it?
So I ask you to please consider whether the limiter will live up to its name and limit the move in inflationary hysterics and eventually risk 'on' market activity (as far back as October 2017 we had, after all, expected stocks and interest rates to climb together to the 3.3% limiter) or become a gateway to something very new and very off-the-hook with respect to a continuation of what has been considered 'normal' for decades now. Such a breakout may force a reevaluation upon casino patrons as to previous linear thinking about bullish and bearish bearish market forecasting.
For now, Amigo #2 has dutifully ridden to his destination along with the risk 'on' trades, which remain intact. I am not going to pretend to lecture anyone on what will happen if it breaks through or if it is limited and fails again, for that matter (that will take ongoing management as we do in NFTRH). But changes will eventually come and they could be highly inflationary or quite the opposite, depending on which way yields go, in line with recent decades of history or on to a new trend.
As for the daily view you can see a potential for a double top as the 30yr neared our 3.3% target (actually 3.27% per the limiter above). For all intents and purposes Amigo #2 has been bracing for a smash against the limiter (the 10yr ticked above target a while ago) and the daily situation should be watched to see if it is already in. A drop below 3.1% could signal an end to the move and a rise above 3.2% quite the opposite.
For reference, the daily 10yr yield has been the leader and it continues to appear in a higher rates stance.
The media continue to trumpet inversion of the curve as a reliable warning about recessions to come. After all, the last 2 recessions came about after the curve inverted and the media love to extrapolate easy answers. But the actual warning comes when the curve stops flattening and begins to steepen, regardless of whether it inverts first or not. Inversion or lack thereof is more an arbitrary signal that the financial media fetishize over. It is the direction of the curve and the macro signals implied that matter.
The daily view is not really needed, but here it is anyway showing no ill headwinds for the risk 'on'/cyclical trades. Notice how the February market disturbance was accompanied by a spike the curve. Not so today.
Amigo #1 (Stocks vs. Gold) is still intact, but under stress by daily chart. It has not yet turned macro negative.
Amigo #2 (Long-term Interest Rates) have arrived at potential limit areas, but these can dwell for months before a resumed uptrend or a failure are registered. But a condition for change, the first condition, is in play.
Amigo #3 (10yr-2yr Yield Curve) is still flattening in line with the cyclical and risk 'on' trades. While likely much closer to the trend's conclusion than to its beginning, the macro moves… Bueller? Yes… sloooowly.
While I hold open continued corrective potential in the stock market, until it and other cyclical items weaken and change trend vs. gold it is a fact that the current trend remains cyclical and risk 'on'. Even with a harsher correction than that seen so far in 2018 the stock market is leagues above any danger zone beyond a mild cyclical bear potential. See this post of the big picture S&P 500 from earlier in the week.
Gold and the counter-cyclical gold sector on the other hand, could be leading the indicators shown in this article by remaining firm (i.e. failing to break down). But a solid fundamental backdrop has not yet engaged and will not engage until many of the trends in play post-2011 are reversed. The Amigos need to reach their destinations and other macro indicators will need to start turning before that is the case.


iCumulate is an industry-changing Social Investment Trading Platform and Ecosystem-based on the Ethereum blockchain. The platform combines all of the communication benefits of a social network with a revolutionary trade execution interface.
Meticulously designed from the ground up by industry professionals over the last 14 months, the project has attracted high retail interest. This week they announced their TokenSale.
iCumulate will be issuing their own utility token on Ethereum. It will be directly linked to the trading fees and services on the ecosystem. The token is called; 'ICU'.
For the first time, users will be able to compare and invest in crypto assets directly against a FIAT base without the need to involve base cryptocurrencies, such as ETH or BTC and from one account, rather than having to split their funds and hold several exchange accounts.
With products such as FX and commodities also available on the platform, hybrid combinations such as Ether vs Gold, or Bitcoin vs Oil are now available for the first time. The addition of micro lot trading also makes investing affordable to everyone.
The core of the iCumulate social investment ecosystem is founded on the principle of combining modern social media communication behaviors and investment talent discovery.
Platform users can benefit from the skills and experience of the very top-ranked investors by following or copying their portfolios. iCumulate have developed a blockchain based tokenized portfolio system to enable this process to be executed with all parties achieving identical performance for the first time in the industry.
Regular big prize investment competitions, an educational portal and a gateway for external content providers to offer services such as analysis, investment advice, and automated trading systems are also included.
iCumulate is based in Gibraltar and will be one of the first companies to be fully regulated under the new world leading DLT regulatory framework there.
The 1-week Pre-Sale starts November 30th, 2018, shortly followed by the 3-week Main-Sale which starts on December 10th, 2018.
A working demo is available here and on the website allowing users and token sale participants to try out the functionality of the trading interface.
If you have any questions on the project, you are invited to join their telegram channel.
