Top 7 tips to crack the Microsoft AZ-900 Certification Exam
Is Max Hopp set to become the assistant manager of Liverpool Football Club?
Over the years, there have been several examples of successful clubs failing to build on their success, after standing still from a player and staff recruitment standpoint. Crucially, Liverpool don't want to fall into that trap. So, could a blossoming relationship between Hopp and Klopp see the Reds move to change the structure of their backroom staff?
A potential backroom reshuffle for the Reds?
Back in April 2018, Jurgen Klopp's long-term assistant manager, Zeljko Buvac, left Liverpool Football Club for personal reasons. Despite Pep Lijnders being promoted to the role following the Serbian's departure, the six-time European champions may look to further alter their backroom staff in the not-so-distant future, with Max Hopp thought to be keen on once linking up with his fellow German, but this time on Merseyside.
In December 2019, Klopp and Lijnders went head-to-head in a highly-anticipated darting contest, that saw two of Liverpool's key coaching figures add a new dimension to their competitive relationship, which typically revolves around table tennis.
However, on this occasion, the two were partnered up with a couple of the best players from the modern era of darts in Max Hopp and Raymond van Barneveld. Even though the contest ended in a draw, it was evident throughout that team Germany worked in a cohesive manner that had a clear structure of order, with the 23-year-old referring to the Liverpool manager as the "coach".
Furthermore, with the Champions League-winning coach declaring his admiration for darts, many believe that there could be scope for the two Germans to develop their working relationship further in seeking to bring more trophies to Liverpool.
The need for change
Moreover, career alterations may be advantageous to all of the parties involved in this potential reshuffle. At the time of writing, Lijnders is widely considered to be one of the leading candidates to replace Klopp as the Liverpool manager when the 52-year-old decides to walk away from the Reds. If Hopp were to take up a role in a coaching capacity at Melwood, it would allow the 37-year-old Dutchman to further his managerial pedigree, given that, in his only position as a first-team manager to date, he was sacked after just one season with NEC Nijmegen.

For Hopp, however, such a position with the reigning champions of Europe would, in theory, enable him to balance his darting commitments with football coaching.
As of the 30th April, the Wiesbaden-born player has yet to win any major trophies during his darting career. That said, he is, at present, among the favorites with darts betting to win the PDC Home Tour. Additionally, having failed to get beyond the last 32 at the PDC World Championships in seven attempts, it may be time for Hopp to shift his sporting focuses to the world of football.
If he were to make the move to Liverpool, the German would be, in one sense, going in the opposite direction to Rafael van der Vaart, who recently competed in the BDO Denmark Open following his retirement from football.
A shared desire for long-term success
Ultimately, the prospect of Hopp taking up a coaching capacity is not beyond the realms of possibility, given his strong relationship with Klopp. The 23-year-old is, by his own admission, an honest talker, which means that he wouldn't have any issues in setting Liverpool's title-chasing team clear on various elements of his desired coaching style.

A group of transition year students decided to try their hands at rapping but with a very Irish twist.
The secondary school students at St Brendan's College in Killarney performed Stormzy's iconic rap song, Shut Up, as Gaeilge.
The chosen track was part of their entry for a music video competition, Ghaelfíseáin do Bhliain na Gaeilge 2018 and has left us with one question.
Who would've thought rapping as Gaeilge would sound this good?
Fairplay to the lads, this video will definitely have you saying Dún Suas all day.
Shut Up by British Grime artist Stormzy is one of the rapper's most successful songs to date, peaking at number eight on the UK singles chart.
The song took off after a freestyle video for the track filmed in a London car park became a viral hit in May 2015. Soon the video gained millions of views and at present, it has reached over 81 million views on Youtube.
Who knows, maybe Irish rapping will become the next big trend for 2018?

Kostel svatého Jana Evangelisty v Šumperku je v regionu ojedinělá moderní sakrální stavba s prvky secese z počátku 20. století. Dokládá působení Starokatolické farní obce v Šumperku od konce 19. století. Kostel byl v roce 2007 zapsán na seznam kulturních památek. Současně byly na seznam památek zapsány také budova fary a historické oplocení s altánem a dvěma branami.

Historie
Starokatolická farní obec v Šumperku byla založena v roce 1899. Kostel byl postaven poté, co starokatolící přišli na počátku 20. století o možnost pořádat bohoslužby v kostele svaté Barbory. Areál kostela s farou se začal stavět na podzim roku 1912, základní kámen ke stavbě vlastního kostela byl položen až 25. března 1914. První bohoslužba se konala již v září téhož roku. Autorem projektu byl vídeňský architekt Clemens Kattner.

Ve druhé polovině 20. století byl kostel uzavřen a objevily se návrhy na jeho zbourání.

Činnost starokatolické farní obce v Šumperku byla obnovena koncem 20. století. V roce 1997 se započalo i s opravami chrámu i fary. Byla položena nová střecha kostela a fary, opraveny krovy, zřízena zahrada. Byly pořízeny nové elektronické varhany, oltář, svatostánek a ambon. V roce 2012 prošla opravou věž kostela. Kostel je také využíván jako alternativní smuteční síň.

Popis

Areál

Kostel je stavebně i funkčně propojen s budovou fary, s níž tvoří zhruba půdorys tvaru písmene L. Areál je ohrazen zdí s kamennou podezdívkou bez omítky, která je členěná vnějšími opěrnými pilířky a prolomená otvory se segmentovými záklenky, vyplněnými dřevěným laťkovým plotem. V jihozápadní části jsou dvě zděné brány. Na nároží je postaven válcový altán s helmicovou střechou. Fara je zděná přízemní budova s podkrovím, stavebně rozdělena do dvou částí. V části obdélného půdorysu navazující kolmo na severozápadní stranu kostela je umístěna kancelář. Šikmo na ni navazuje čtvercová budova obytné části. Výrazným prvkem je červená sedlová střecha prudkého sklonu s vikýři na delších stranách.

Kostel
Kostel je zděná stavba obdélného půdorysu se sníženým pětibokým závěrem na severní straně a hranolovou věží na jižním vstupním průčelí. Celá stavba má kamenný sokl bez omítky. Střecha je sedlová, z obou stran prolomena vikýřem ve tvaru volského oka. Kryta je pálenou taškou bobrovkou. Hladké fasády s bílým nátěrem jsou členěny vysokými okny s půlkruhovými záklenky a kruhovými okny.

Hmota věže mírně předstupuje jižní průčelí, které je rozšířeno pomocí bočních zděných křídel. Vstup na jižním průčelí, k němuž vede několik kamenných stupňů, je zvýrazněn otevřeným přístavkem s plechovou stříškou. Nad stříškou je prolomeno kruhové okno. Ve zvonovém patře je dvojice protáhlých oken a nad nimi ciferníky hodin. Střecha věže v konkávním tvaru je zakončena makovicí a křížem. Z levé strany podvěží se vstupuje na kruchtu a do věže, kde jsou zavěšeny dva nedatované zvony.

Obdélní loď je valeně zaklenuta s táflováním obdélnými kazetovými plochami. Vyvýšené kněžiště je prolomeno třemi okny vyplněnými figurálními vitrážemi. Postavy sv. Jana Evangelisty, Ježíše Krista a sv. Pavla jsou rámovány geometrickými ornamenty. Nad nimi visí velký kříž s tělem Ježíše Krista. Na čelní ploše vítězného oblouku je nástěnná malba s motivem Nanebevstoupení Krista. Na jižní straně lodi stojí na dvou dřevěných hranolových pilířích celodřevěná kruchta.

Designed for tough, rugged, and challenging environments.
The reliability of the controller operating your machinery is vital to your reputation. All DynaGen controllers go through careful design and rigorous testing to excel in the harshest conditions. We utilize SAE Heavy Truck and MIL standards which are the toughest standards available in the industry, so you can be certain that your controller solution will perform under pressure.
Are your current controllers tested to the limits?
The end user of your equipment is going to push them to the limits, so when an OEM customer asked to put a DynaGen controller through Highly Accelerated Life Testing we were excited to see how the product would perform.
Highly Accelerated Life Testing (HALT) techniques are known to uncover many of the weaknesses in the design and fabrication processes of an electronic module. These tests quickly find weaknesses using accelerated stress conditions. In HALT, temperature and vibration are combined to create the accelerated conditions (e.g. high-temperature ramp rates and all-axis vibration levels) By increasing the time to failure long-term weaknesses in products can be discovered.
At the conclusion of a recent HALT test, the OEM customer reported that the controller was "particularly difficult to destruct" and exceeded all their expectations.
In order for your equipment to stand out from the crowd it needs to have consistent visual impact and be instantly identifiable.
This can be accomplished with private logo branding on all controllers. And when purchasing the Tough Series® Controllers you have the option of six standard color options on the outer gasket as well as custom branding plates proudly showing your logo. The customization options will allow you to match virtually any branding scheme with the Tough Series® Controllers.

Open Combat: Mayhem at the Stoic Arms

Three days' ride from Madge's Crossing, on the lonely road that winds through the Grey Mountains, past the turn-off that leads to the more civilized lands of the Empire, stands the Stoic Arms — an outpost of civilization amid the encroaching wilderness. The massive, solidly built inn, located at a strategic crossroads in the very shadow of the Grey Mountains, has for centuries played host to travelers, adventurers, and rapscallions of every caliber.
As blustery winds heralded the arrival of autumn, the Stoic Arms prepared to receive its latest guest — Argus Nul, a halfling wizard of considerable reputation, accompanied by a cadre of capable bodyguards. Argus carried with him a tome of magic, wrought of the finest material and festooned with many precious jewels…including a curious green stone that radiated mysterious power.
In truth, the green gem was in fact a polished piece of raw warpstone, and its mere presence was enough to draw the attention of Snik Soot-Fang, a Skaven warlock engineer who had spent three fruitless weeks with his motley warband prowling the mountain passes for unwary travelers. Summoning his best warriors, Snik Soot-Fang descended from the mountain heights and set about developing an elaborate, multi-pronged attack on the Stoic Arms. Poor Argus Nul wouldn't know what was happening until it was too late…
Vincent and I got together last month for another game of Open Combat — this time using his gorgeous inn from 4Ground. We'd been itching for an excuse to get it onto the table after our first game of Open Combat back in September. The amount of work that Vincent put into assembling and finishing this terrain piece was considerable. It's a truly impressive terrain piece.
With 4 stories of detailed, playable interior space, the Stoic Arms was an entire battlefield unto itself. But just for good measure, we decided to deploy Vince's medieval marketplace terrain in the area surrounding the inn. We also dropped out a dozen or so civilians (speed bumps for the Skaven raiders, more like) to add some local flavor. All in all I think you'll agree it was a visually stunning battlefield.
For the scenario, Vincent deployed Argus and his bodyguards to a few specific locations within the inn. They were scattered and initially unable to support each other. My invading Skaven would have a turn or two to gain entrance before the guards could raise the alarm.
I had about twice as many figures as Vincent, but that also meant that his guys were about twice as good as mine — I had a horde army, poor fighters on their own, but dangerous in groups. By contrast, his guys were much more effective at fighting alone. This would prove to be a critical edge as the game unfolded.
At the start of the game, I sent a few of my more capable warriors into the inn to engage with the bodyguards, hoping to pin them down, while Snik Soot-Fang the warlock engineer made a beeline for the front door in an attempt to catch Argus Nul unaware.
Outside the inn, my giant rats and rat swarms began to wreak havoc among the defenseless peasants. I had ostensibly planned to keep my ratling gun and some other units outside in a support role, but I ended up sending them into the marketplace because it was just so damn fun slaughtering peasants!
Inside the inn, I quickly realized how potent Vincent's bodyguards were in single combat. The cramped quarters inside the inn meant that I couldn't easily outnumber his figures, which allowed him to engage and destroy my Skaven raiders one at a time. Argh! Things were not going according to plan.
Here's a look at Tyroth Lowbrow emerging from a basement trapdoor in the floor to engage Vincent's dwarven bodyguard while a buxom lass looks on in terror.
In desperation, I forced another entrance by sending a squad of stormvermin up to a second story window. They piled in and encountered yet another bodyguard with frightening stats and abilities. The rat body count continued to increase…
Open Combat is a particularly brutal system for close quarters fighting. We quickly learned the value of shields as we battled through the narrow hallways of the Stoic Arms. In Open Combat, a typical fight results in loss of Fortitude (think hit points) or being pushed back — sometimes both once! But if you get pushed back into another object, like a wall or even a friendly model, you'll suffer even more Fortitude loss — really speeding up your warrior's eventual demise! In short, the Stoic Arms was a real meatgrinder for Skaven and human alike.
By this point, Snik Soot-Fang had reached his objective, confronting Argus Nul as the halfling wizard was studying his tome of magic in the Stoic Arms' well-appointed library. The halfling tried to flee in terror, smashing a stained glass window and tumbling onto a canopied overhang.
Elsewhere, the inn was crawling with warriors as the Skaven fighters clashed with the wizard's bodyguards scattered throughout the four-story structure.
Seeing that Argus was on the move, I made the crucial decision to withdraw Tyroth Lowbrow, the Skaven warrior who had burst out of the basement hatch and into the kitchen. He wisely retreated from the fury of Vincent's dwarven bodyguard, who had been battering him in the intervening turns. Using his speedy Skaven movement, Tyroth exited the inn and emerged in the rear to await Argus's arrival.
But first, there were yet more civilians to slay. Upon exiting the inn, Tyroth saw a poor stable boy and was offended by his innocence and purity. With a stroke of his savage axe-hammer-thing, Tyroth slew the youth and ransacked his pockets for a few copper coins. Such brutality! Never take your eye off the Skaven, boy.
At this point, Argus Nul tumbled off the edge of the overhang, pursued by the slashing claws and sputtering flintlock of Snik Soot-Fang. Both landed in an untidy heap at Tyroth's feet, where it was a simple matter to bonk the halfling over his head, toss him in a burlap sack, and vanish into the autumnal gloom.
And so Soot-Fang's Skaven withdrew to the trackless caverns beneath the Grey Mountains, even as Argus's bodyguards mustered a search party and set off in hot pursuit. Our next game will take place in the damp tunnels beneath the mountains as the Skaven prepare to unspeakable rituals to pry arcane secrets from Argus's round little head.
This game was an absolute joy to play. The tabletop setup and the scenario gave us everything we could have wanted in a game of Open Combat. And we learned quite a bit about the game itself, proving yet again that OC has quite a bit of depth in its slim rulebook. Stay tuned for the next chapter!

As is the case with most medieval hagiography a genre focused on recounting the lives of saints and other holy men and women , the historical reality seems to have been much humbler and more mundane. Since the Norse had always been in contact with other parts of Europe through trade, travel, and war, they had encountered Christians both abroad and in their own homelands for centuries before the start of the Viking Age. In fact, many of the Norse had incorporated aspects of Christianity into their own personal religiosity before the official conversion got underway.
When the Vikings settled in already-Christian lands such as England, Scotland, and Ireland, they tended to readily adopt the religious modes of the local inhabitants.

When planning your holiday travel to Sweden , get acquainted with the Swedish customs during the holidays. Before learning about typical celebrations, learn how to say "Merry Christmas" in Swedish. On Christmas, say, God Jul , which is similar to "good yule" in English. English and Swedish are related languages, both descended from the Germanic branch of the language tree. The date commemorates Saint Lucy or Lucia in Scandinavian countries.
The saint was a third-century martyr who brought food and aid to Christians hiding in the catacombs using a candle-lit wreath to light her way. Her feast once coincided with the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year, which is why her feast day has become known as the Christmas festival of light. Usually, the eldest girl in the family portrays St.
She puts on a white robe in the morning wears a crown full of candles. Personifying St. Lucia, she serves her parents buns, cookies, coffee, or mulled wine. Christmas trees are a standard household item around the holidays in Sweden just as they are in many other parts of the world.

point to an early date of Norwegian and Scandinavian Christian burial custom. before presenting these, we will look at other ways of dating them, as argued.
Roughly 1, years ago, the story goes, a Viking trader and adventurer named Thorfinn Karlsefni set off from the west coast of Greenland with three ships and a band of Norse to explore a newly discovered land that promised fabulous riches. Snorri, the son of Thorfinn and his wife, Gudrid, is thought to be the first European baby born in North America. About three years after starting out, Thorfinn—along with his family and surviving crew—abandoned the North American settlement, perhaps in a hail of arrows.
Archaeologists have found arrowheads with the remains of buried Norse explorers. Just where the family ended up in Iceland has been a mystery that historians and archaeologists have long tried to clear up. In September , archaeologist John Steinberg of the University of California at Los Angeles announced that he had uncovered the remains of a turf mansion in Iceland that he believes is the house where Thorfinn, Gudrid and Snorri lived out their days.
For one thing, it could shed new light on the early Norse experience in North America, first substantiated by Helge Ingstad, an explorer, and his wife, Anne Stine Ingstad, an archaeologist. In , they discovered the remains of a Viking encampment in Newfoundland dating to the year But the only accounts of how and why Vikings journeyed to the New World, not to mention what became of them, are in Icelandic sagas, centuries-old tales that have traditionally vexed scholars struggling to separate Viking fantasy from Viking fact.
Steinberg did not start out trying to insert himself into a debate about Viking lore, but to survey settlement patterns during Viking times. With his colleague Doug Bolender of NorthwesternUniversity in Chicago, he had developed a method for using an electrical conductivity meter to detect buried artifacts. The tool—a cumbersome, pound apparatus usually used to identify contaminated groundwater and locate pipes—sends alternating current into the ground. The current induces a magnetic field, and the tool then measures how the magnetic field varies according to the makeup of the soil and the objects buried in it.
The two men fitted the electronic equipment into a foot-long plastic tube and trekked around fields holding the apparatus by their sides, looking for all the world like slowmotion pole vaulters getting ready to vault.
I have been contacted by more than one person wanting to date Scandinavian people or even marry one of us. My reply? Tough luck! We hardly even have a word for it. If you live with someone in Scandinavia, and especially if you have kids, you are as good as any married couple would be in your country. But I know from statistics that more people live together than are married — and that is counting all the old people who got married back when that was still something you did in Norway it was illegal to live with someone without being married up until — imagine that!

It is true that almost the entire population of Scandinavia was pagan at Most scholars today believe that Viking attacks on Christian churches.
The historical people known as Vikings , who hailed from Scandinavia in Northern Europe, are well-known today for their exploits in the west. But the merchant-warriors also made their way into Eastern Europe, where they helped found a medieval federation in territory now known as Belarus, Ukraine and part of Russia. Their loose federation of principalities called Kievan Rus survived for nearly years, finally collapsing during the 13th-century Mongol invasion.
Vikings founded Kievan Rus in the mid-9th century, but Scandanavian settlements in Eastern Europe actually date back to at least A. One of the artifacts archaeologists have unearthed from the city is a talisman with the face of Odin, the Norse god of war. At first, the region was divided between three noble brothers.
In addition to capturing new territories to increase the size of Kievan Rus, Oleg also increased its wealth by negotiating a favorable trade deal with Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire. However, historians caution readers to approach the Chronicle narrative with a grain of salt, since some of its stories have an exaggerated, mythical quality.
The more than Scandinavian picture-runestones form an important part of Late Viking Age art and European art and must be understood in this context. This art is an important source to the Christianization of the Vikings. There is a lack of overview and understanding of the imagery of the Scandinavian picture-runestones concerning styles, motifs and pictorial structure as well as Christian European influences on the tradition of raising picture-runestones and their content and message.
This projects creates such an overview and understanding of the imagery of the Scandinavian picture-runestones regarding styles, motifs and pictorial structure, which will be integrated into the online Scandinavian Runic-Text Database. This overview and understanding allows identifying Christian European influences on the imagery and tradition.
The date commemorates Saint Lucy (or Lucia in Scandinavian and aid to Christians hiding in the catacombs using a candle-lit wreath to light.
Mistletoe is a plant that grows on range of trees including willow, apple and oak trees. The tradition of hanging it in the house goes back to the times of the ancient Druids. It is supposed to possess mystical powers which bring good luck to the household and wards off evil spirits. It was also used as a sign of love and friendship in Norse mythology. When the first Christians came to Western Europe, some tried to ban the use of Mistletoe as a decoration in Churches, but many still continued to use it!
York Minster Church in the UK used to hold a special Mistletoe Service in the winter, where wrong doers in the city of York could come and be pardoned. The custom of kissing under Mistletoe comes from England. The earliest recorded date mentioning kissing under the mistletoe is in in a musical. There was kissing under the mistletoe in the illustrations in the first book version of 'A Christmas Carol' published in , and this might have helped to popularise kissing under the mistletoe.
The original custom was that a berry was picked from the sprig of Mistletoe before the person could be kissed and when all the berries had gone, there could be no more kissing! The name mistletoe comes from two Anglo Saxon words 'Mistel' which means dung and 'tan' which means twig or stick! So you could translate Mistletoe as 'poo on a stick'!!!
Invaders, predators, barbarians — the Vikings are often portrayed merely as one-dimensional warriors whose achievements include little more than plundering and raiding. But from where did the Vikings originate and were they really violent, godless pagans? Here, historian Philip Parker explains the real history of the Viking world….

Thor and Odin are still going strong years after the Viking Age. Many think that the old Nordic religion – the belief in the Norse gods — disappeared with the introduction of Christianity. However, it did not, but was instead practised secretly or under a Christian cloak. Today there are between and people in Denmark who believe in the old Nordic religion and worship its ancient gods.
Modern believers in the old Nordic religion meet in the open air just as the Vikings did. Here they praise the gods and make offerings to them. They honour the gods by drinking a toast to them and eating a feast. Afterwards the modern believers make a personal toast. For example, young women can praise Freyja in order to become pregnant or find eternal love.
If a challenge is faced, then Thor can be praised in order to gain strength or Odin can be invoked for wisdom.

Hmmm, a lot of he said she said they said here. How about we wait to see what the jury says when he is put on trial, if he ever is put on trial. People around here fuss about the good old boys network, yet when someone is arrested for possible wrongdoing, these same people shout "Snitch" to the person who turned them in. Which way do you want it, clean up the city or yell snitch when someone reports something wrong. You really can't have it both ways. Wait until the verdict is in.
Courtney Anders told on him because he didnt want to be with her anymore she also got some gas 😂 she works for police I believe
Snitch !!
Lady Jade
Hey, Matt, if it weren't for people like Courtney who finally do the right thing, criminals would get away with everything they do. Without any respect for the law, none of us would be safe.
obviously this young man is no player and has no family who works for the city
just a bad deal,so maybe his new job at Walmart he will learn stealing doesn't pay !
Arrested? Hmmmmmm didn't know the right people I guess . Maybe he can just pay it back.
Hmm right. He was putting gas into one of the city reserve officers vechiles.when the relationship with south she turned on him.

1045 carbon steel has less carbon (.45%), where higher carbon steels like 1095 has more (.95%), inversely 1095 has less manganese and 1045 has more. So in essence, 1095 steel would have more wear resistance, but would also be less tough. 1045 carbon steel holds an okay edge, 1095 steel holds an edge great, and is easy to sharpen. The major drawback to higher carbon steels is that they rust more easily. Because of this issue, you will often see 1095 blades with some type of coating to combat rust. If you buy a knife or sword with this type of blade, be sure to keep it oiled and store it well and you should have no problem.

Home/Technology/New Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra leak tells us more about the camera upgrades
New Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra leak tells us more about the camera upgrades
Anthony Grumbles Send an email 3 weeks ago
The rear cameras on the Galaxy S22 Ultra
You might have thought just about every aspect of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S23 phones had leaked at this point, but not so – the rumor mill keeps coming up with more information about these flagship devices ahead of their February 1 launch.
Today we've got another tidbit of information from well-known provider of leaks Ice Universe (opens in new tab) (via GSMArena (opens in new tab)), who has taken to Chinese social media platform Weibo to give us some details of the portrait video mode on the Galaxy S23 Ultra.
The source says that the mode will be capable of shooting in a 4K resolution at 30 frames per second, with the phone offering relatively good thermal control so that the processing power required to capture clips in this mode doesn't overheat the phone.
Resolution bump
We weren't hugely impressed with the portrait video mode on the Galaxy S22 Ultra, especially compared with cinematic mode on the iPhone. In both cases, the subject of a video is kept in focus while the background gets blurred.
The current Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra can capture normal video at an 8K resolution at 24 frames per second, or at a 4K resolution at 60 frames per second. In portrait mode, that goes down to a 1080p resolution at 30 frames per second.
What's not clear is whether or not the other two Galaxy S23 models are going to get portrait mode this time around. All will be revealed when Samsung's next Unpacked launch event rolls around, and it's only a couple of weeks away.
Analysis: a tale of two sensors
Based on the rumors we've heard so far, we're expecting the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra to come fitted with the new 200MP ISOCELL HP2 sensor that Samsung has revealed. The standard and Plus models, meanwhile, are rumored to be sticking to a 50MP main sensor.
That should mean that the Ultra model is the one to look at for the most substantial camera upgrades over last year's models. So far we've heard that the night vision capabilities will be better, and we've seen sample shots for comparison purposes.
There has also been talk that Samsung is adding more modes on the software side, to go with improvements in the hardware. From a photo and video standpoint, you should be able to do more than ever with the upcoming Galaxy S23 handsets.
In fact there's been so much buzz around this that we think the Galaxy S23 Ultra could be one of the best photo-taking phones of the year – and it might even have more to offer than whatever Apple is plotting with the cameras on the iPhone 15.
The Samsung Galaxy S23 series may be more affordable than we thought

Plans to scrap GCSEs in key subjects in England and replace them with an English Baccalaureate Certificate are set to be abandoned by the government.
The reversal is expected to be announced in the Commons later, alongside changes to the curriculum.
Education Secretary Michael Gove had planned to bring in the baccalaureate certificate from autumn 2015, but faced criticism from MPs and teaching unions.
Stephen Twigg, Labour's shadow education secretary, told Today presenter Sarah Montague: "This is a humiliating climb-down for Michael Gove, but more important that that it is also good news for education in this country."
"The important thing is that we learn lessons from this episode," he added, and offered his support to Michael Gove if he were to impose plans to make reforms to the current GCSE system.

After the Crash: A Novel (Hardcover)
By Michel Bussi
In December of 1980 a plane crashes in the Swiss Alps, leaving one 3 month old baby alive. But whose child is it? Two families claim her--one a wealthy Swiss family and the other one of the working class. A private detective spends 18 years figuring out the truth. A page turner!
"Wonderfully ingenious and altogether satisfying."---Marilyn Stasio, New York Times Book Review
Just after midnight on December 23, 1980, a night flight bound for Paris plummets toward the Swiss Alps, crashing into a snowy mountainside. Within seconds flames engulf the plane, which is filled with holiday travelers. Of the 169 passengers, all but one perish.
The sole survivor is a three-month-old girl--thrown from the airliner before fire consumes the cabin. But two infants were on board. Is "the Miracle Child of Mont Terri" Lyse-Rose or Emilie? The families of both girls step forward to claim the child. Dogged by bad luck, the Vitrals live a simple life, selling snacks from a van on the beaches of northern France. In contrast, the de Carvilles, who amassed a fortune in the oil business, are powerful-and dangerous.
Eighteen years later, a private detective tasked with solving the mystery of the girl known as "Lylie" is on the verge of giving up. As he contemplates taking his own life, Crédule Grand-Duc suddenly discovers a secret hidden in plain view. Will he live to tell it?
Meanwhile, Lylie, now a beautiful university student, entrusts a secret notebook into the hands of Marc, the brooding young man who loves her, and then vanishes. After Marc reads the notebook's contents, he embarks on a frantic search for Lylie.
But he is not the only one looking for her.
Michel Bussi is one of France's most celebrated crime authors. The winner of more than 15 major literary awards, he is a professor of geography at the University of Rouen and a political commentator. After the Crash, his first book to appear in English, will be translated into over twenty languages.
"Riveting! Bussi spins psychological suspense at its finest with this consuming tale of one child, two families, and the dark secrets that define us all. Clear your schedule; this book is worth it!"—Lisa Gardner, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of Crash & Burn and Find Her
"After the Crash is a jolt to the senses and a jolt to the heart--both rollicking and labyrinthine, both wildly propulsive and yet rich with grand drama, and with a cast of characters--particularly its sumptuously powerful women--you won't forget."—Megan Abbott, author of The Fever and the forthcoming You Will Know Me
"Wonderfully ingenious and altogether satisfying."—Marilyn Stasio, New York Times Book Review
"After the Crash opens with a wrenching scene that will serve as the mystery's terrifically compelling central conceit....sit back and go along for the ride....Bussi's tucked a lot of enjoyable - and enjoyably surprising - pieces into his puzzle."—Boston Globe
"This fascinating tale of intrigue and murder delves into complicated family bonds as it builds to a surprising and shocking conclusion."—Publishers Weekly
"Fast-paced and action-packed, this thriller is adrenaline pumping. Bussi offers a smart, complex mystery with plenty of plausible twists and surprises ... An engrossing story that's almost impossible to put down."—Shelf Awareness
"A novel so extraordinary that it reminded me of reading Stieg Larsson for the very first time...I doubt I'll read a more brilliant crime novel this year."—Sunday Times (UK)
"You find yourself quite frantic to know the truth, before this cleverly constructed, smart mystery concludes by delivering a delicious sting in the tail."—Sunday Express (UK)
"A richly satisfying story...a hugely enjoyable ride."—Irish Independent

News-Press & Gazette: DIRECTV Won't Negotiate - The TV Answer Man!
News-Press & Gazette is accusing DIRECTV of purposely delaying negotiations to reach a new carriage pact that would end the blackout of 18 local stations in the satcaster's lineup.
The News-Press & Gazette stations have been off DIRECTV since Thursday night (January 12) when the two companies broke off talks.
The broadcaster yesterday afternoon posted a new notice at its web site that says DIRECTV has refused to respond to its latest offer. (The two sides are fighting over how much the satcaster should pay to carry the channels.).
"Our negotiators remain ready and willing to continue to negotiate to end the current service disruption. DIRECTV's delay tactics are preventing you from getting your station back on their system. They appear not to care that you are missing your favorite news, weather and sports personalities, your favorite programming, and the NFL playoff games!" the notice reads.
Amazon: Check out this indoor HDTV antenna. Captures signals from 50 miles away.
Viewer anger over the blackout has risen this weekend with the airing of the NFL playoff games. In fact, actor Rob Lowe, a former DIRECTV spokesman, even criticized his former employer on Twitter.
DIRECTV, or its owner, AT&T, have not issued a response to the latest accusation from News-Press & Gazette. But it should be noted that Hearst this month made a similar claim of DIRECTV foot-dragging shortly before it reached a new carriage deal with the satcaster.

AT&T has said News-Press & Gazette is seeking excessive carriage fees, a charge denied by the broadcaster..

State colleges: Alyssa Barrera's grand slam sparks Utah softball rally and a 5-4 win over No. 3 Washington
Steve C. Wilson | Utah athletics Freshman Alyssa Barrera plays during one of Utah softball's fall exhibitions. This season, the California native has been one of the 15th-ranked Utes' best hitters.
By The Salt Lake Tribune
Alyssa Barrera hit a grand slam in the sixth inning as Utah Softball put together a furious rally to top No. 3 Washington 5-4 on Saturday.
Trailing 4-0, Utah strung together three-straight singles off UW's Gabbie Plain thanks to Ryley Ball, Julia Noskin and Ally Dickman. A walk to Ellessa Bonstrom brought home Utah's first run and Barrera clobbered a 2-2 pitch over the wall in center to send the Dumke Family Softball Stadium crowd into a frenzy.
Barrera was also the hero the last time Utah beat a team ranked in the Top 5 nationally. She delivered a walk-off hit to seal the series against No. 1 Arizona in 2017, also at home.
Plain was 17-1 on the season entering Saturday's contest, and won the first two games of this series. She had allowed just one earned run in her last eight contests and the five she was tagged for Saturday were a season-high. Utah came into Saturday just 4-for-44 against Plain over the last two seasons, including a perfect game last season in Seattle.
Utah 6, No. 12 Arizona State 3 • Utah coach Bill Kinneberg earned his 600th career victory Saturday as the Utes upended No. 12 Arizona State 6-3 at Smith's Ballpark.
Utah got off to a start, scoring three runs in the first eventually stretching it out to 5-0 to hold on for their 12th win of the season and Kinneberg's 600th.
Right fielder Erick Migueles and starting pitcher Joshua Tedeschi had stellar days. Migueles went 2-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI and Tedeschi pitched 7.1 innings giving up two runs on seven hits.
The Utes couldn't have had a better start. Oliver Dunn and Rykker Tom both singled, and Migueles hit his first homer to put the Utes up 3-0 before Arizona State could record an out. The Utes tacked on two more runs to their lead with an RBI from Isaac Deveaux to score Shea Kramer in the third, and then Dunn got an RBI in the fifth to score Deveaux.
Tedeschi was working early, only giving up two hits through six innings. The Sun Devils, one of the best hitting teams in the NCAA, got their bats going in the seventh, but Tedeschi limited them to only two runs on four hits during his outing.
BYU 4, Washington 0 • A gem by Cougar pitcher Justin Sterner helped BYU roll to a 4-0 shutout victory over Washington at Husky Ballpark on Saturday.
Coming off a 7-3 victory in game two, BYU (26-10) battled with the Huskies (17-17) through five scoreless innings. The Cougars broke through in the sixth with Brian Hsu leading off with a bunt single, the advancing to second on a sac bunt. Brock Hale doubled to score Hsu, then Jackson Cluff and Keaton Kringlen walked to load the bases.
Mitch McIntyre was hit by a pitch on a 3-2 count to score BYU's second run; Abraham Valdez followed with a walk to bring in Cluff and give the Cougars the 3-0 advantage.
Sterner earned his seventh win of the year, allowing just one hit through six innings. He left the game in the seventh, finishing with a career-high-tying seven strikeouts with no runs and no walks allowed.
Cleveland State 17, Utah 8 • James Sexton had his second hat trick of the season with three goals to lead the Utah lacrosse team, but the Utes still to Cleveland State, 17-8 on Saturday at McCarthey Field.
Although Utah scored the first goal of the game in the opening minute, Cleveland State scored the next four and continued to steadily pull away throughout the game. Utah trailed 7-4 at halftime and 11-4 after the third quarter.
"It wasn't our day," head coach Brian Holman said. "We made mistakes early. I didn't get the sense that the guys were mentally in it. We tried everything we could, changed our personnel and went as deep as possible. I'm happy for some of the guys who got on the field and played well and disappointed for some of the guys who really tried hard, but they were better than us. We lacked a collective effort today, which is my fault and I'll do my best to correct that."
Sexton led Utah with three goals and Cam Redmond had two for the Utes. Josh Stout, Liam Cavanaugh-Fernandez and Quinault Mackey each had goals. Stout also had an assist for two points, Brandon Wilson had two assists and Chris Belcher and Jack Zarnik both had assists on the day.
Donny Stock went 8-of-19 in faceoffs and led Utah with six ground balls. Samuel Cambere and Belcher had three ground balls each. Liam Donnelly, Daniel Costa and Zack Johns each saw time in goal with Johns making six saves on the day.

Civil society instrumental in UN monitoring of progress towards abolition
Article by Thomas Hubert published on September 22nd, 2014
The World Coalition and its members are present at every step in the international human rights law process – from the signature of human rights treaties to the verification of their implementation. Their contribution is yielding more and more concrete results.
In its Concluding Observations on the United States on August 29, 2014, the United Nations' Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination called on Washington to "take concrete and effective steps to eliminate racial disparities at all stages of the criminal justice system," including by "imposing, at the federal level, a moratorium on the death penalty with a view to abolishing the death penalty".
The clear link between racism and capital punishment is the latest manifestation of a trend among bodies tasked with monitoring international human rights law, whose public statements on retentionist states increasingly highlight the unacceptable conditions attached to the use of the death penalty.
Such observations, statements and reports by independent experts and international organisations may look like small steps when taken in isolation, but their influence is growing – and civil society has been playing a big part in this evolution.
Among the documentation submitted to the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination before it made its observations on the US, a report compiled by World Coalition member organisations The Advocates for Human Rights, the Greater Caribbean for Life and the Puerto Rican Coalition against the Death Penalty detailed racial discrimination in the application of capital punishment there. "If the victim is white, a defendant is more likely to be sentenced to death than if the victim is black," the report stated, adding: "All defendants in the 25 [US federal] death penalty prosecutions in Puerto Rico were from ethnic minorities."
Violations documented and submitted to UN bodies
The World Coalition and its members document violations of human rights linked to the death penalty and use the information in a steady flow of submissions to United Nations bodies and other official watchdogs.
In September, FIACAT submitted another shadow report to the UN Human RIghts Council for the Universal Periodic Review of Liberia in association with the World Coalition and ACAT Liberia.
"At each review, we push for firm recommendations on limitations to the use of the death penalty and, in some cases, for encouragements to ratify the UN Protocol" on the abolition of capital punishment, said Patrick Mutzenberg, director of the Geneva-based Centre for Civil and Political Rights (CCPR Centre) – another World Coalition member working with the UN Human Rights Committee on the implementation of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
Helping universally recognised bodies denounce the violations arising from the use of capital punishments, however, is not enough. Abolitionists are also increasingly involved in following up on international recommendations made to retentionist governments.
"In 2013, Indonesia received a recommendation to limit the death penalty to the most serious crimes. It was listed under urgent recommendations, which means the Committee will follow up," said Mutzenberg. While the government prepares to report on progress, the CCPR Centre and its Indonesian partners conduct their own investigations and will quiz the authorities in January before they submit their own findings to the UN.
"We always work with local NGOs and help them build coalitions," said Mutzenberg. His organisation is planning similar missions in Malawi and in Sierra Leone (although the Ebola epidemic has delayed work in the latter country).
A rating agency for human rights?
In the past two years, the UN Human Rights Committee has introduced grades to evaluate progress on urgent recommendations. Indonesia will become the first country to receive a mark for its efforts to curb capital punishment.
"We are pushing for the Human Rights Committee to become a sort of rating agency, based on objective criteria," said Mutenberg. "The input of NGOs is crucial: once the government has reported, other points of view are necessary. This also means all our reports must be done in the most scientific way."
International organisations, however, can only monitor and evaluate states that have committed to certain standards and accepted to have their implementation reviewed through a treaty. While all UN member states have ratified at least one major international human rights treaty, much remains to be done to extend the jurisdiction of international human rights law – another area of work for abolitionists.
While conventions on torture, the rights of children, etc. all help highlight violations associated with capital punishment, the UN Protocol on the abolition of the death penalty is the World Coalition's key target treaty. Its director Maria Donatelli said the Coalition had recently asked UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon to mark the 25th anniversary of its adoption.
"As a result, the importance of the ratification of that treaty was highlighted in the list of treaties submitted by the Secretary General to member states for the 2014 Treaty events, which will take place in New York from September 23rd," Donatelli said in reference to the annual UN conference promoting the adoption of international agreements.

I grew up in Prince George, BC. I've always described it as the place smack dab in the middle of BC, though it's the capital of Northern BC. On a map, it's pretty perfectly in the center. Driving, it's about 10 hours north of Vancouver.
Driving from Vancouver one first finds the Fraser Valley, then abruptly turn norther into the winding Fraser Canyon that turns into the North Thompson canyon and then connects back up to the Fraser River to follow it more or less all the way up through the Cariboo to the Central Interior and Prince George. On the way back South, we hooked West at Cache Creek to wind our way through to Pemberton and Whistler before getting back to Vancouver.
In the winter the scenery is brown and muddy and very snowy and icy the further north one goes. In the fall you can expect to find every color of the rainbow in the trees that occupy the landscape that spins by. In the spring and summer everything is green and growing and each of the little lakes and creeks along the way call out, inviting you to jump on in.
Being so long of a drive, and one that I've done countless times in my life, I'm usually trying to avoid stopping, rather then stopping to take photographs of anything that catches my eye.
Having a foreign friend – Nene – with me, I took all the back roads and detours I knew! She was all smiles, and "ooh" and "ahhh". Great travel companion!
Prince George, British Columbia has a very rare and unique forest known as the Interior Wetbelt, which is the worlds only known rainforest so far from the ocean, about 800 kms away. The wet biogeoclimatic zones associated with the inland rainforest cover more than 110,000 ha in the upper Fraser River valley. Stands that contain ancient Western Redcedars (Thuja plicata) and associated biodiversity are quite limited in their distribution within the upper Fraser River valley, particularly because of the logging in the region.
I did this hike last year in mid October, 2013 with my brothers, and it was colder than expected. I was happy I had brought mittens and a tuque, but the hiking around gets you warm pretty quick. If you're a snowshoe'r, this trail is open 365 days a year and I believe there are also tours that head out frequently.
This region is unique because it's sandwiched in between the Rocky Mountains (to the East) and the Coastal Mountains (to the West). The Ancient Forest has ancient cedar trees and ferns that have been undisturbed for centuries. Many individual trees are estimated to be over one thousand years in age.
Antique Forest stands are typically located in wet toe-slope or bench topographic positions, often in close proximity to the valley sides. However, given the easy access afforded by Highway 16 and the exceptional stature of trees in these stands, most of the toe-slope Antique Forest stands along the highway corridor in this area have been logged over the last half century. Consequently opportunities to view this exceptional feature of B.C.'s inland rainforest are now limited.
To learn more about the wetbelt, the Ancient Forest, UNBC has a great page dedicated to explaining it, which I've used as reference for this writeup.
Oh, and there's an exceptionally large tree in there they've dubbed Treebeard, after the Hobbit or Lord of the Rings chronicles.


Relating to authorized charges for certain consumer loans.
Summary: Currently, regulated lenders can impose nonrefundable flat charges in addition to interest charges based on a loan's amount and duration. This flat charge is called an administrative fee for non-real property loans and as an acquisition charge for other loans. The administrative fee has not been increased in more than 10 years and the acquisition charge has not been increased in more than 20 years. HB 2315 would allow the Finance Commission of Texas to set the maximum amount of an administrative fee or acquisition charge by rule.
Analysis: HB 2315 would allow lenders more flexibility in setting fee rates by allowing the Finance Commission of Texas to raise the maximum fee rates. This would allow lenders to raise their rates, but it would also loosen regulation on their fees. By giving lenders more flexibility, HB 2315 limits the burden of government on these lenders. Vote "yes," on HB 2315.

I FULLY SUPPORT YOU: Bishop Stands with Latin Mass Community
New from Remnant TV...
If it's true that it's "the Mass that matters," then obviously the more Traditional Latin Masses in the world today the better for everyone – Catholic or not.
The Bishop of Duluth, Minnesota, has set an important precedent for every bishop in the world. He's not a traditionalist but, the wake of Traditionis Custodes, he's gone to bat for his traditional Catholic community.
In this Special Edition of the Remnant Underground, Michael Matt speaks to those who are not necessarily traditional Catholics or who are new to the Latin Mass. To quote Michael: "I hope the viewer will understand what we're trying to do here. This is not about the SSPX, the FSSP, or my personal opinion of the liturgical revolution. It's a bit outside of that box, which is why I encourage you to share it with your family, friends, diocesan priests and bishops."

Cyclone brings heavy rain, displaces 150,000 in southern India; 6 dead in India, Sri Lanka
CHENNAI, India — A tropical storm weakened Thursday after slamming into southern India, bringing heavy rain and a storm surge and displacing 150,000 people. Six deaths have been reported in India and Sri Lanka.
Just before the storm made landfall Wednesday, an oil tanker with 37 crew ran aground off Chennai. One of its lifeboats capsized in the choppy waters, and one crewmember drowned, the Press Trust of India news agency reported.
On Thursday, two helicopters searched in the Bay of Bengal for the four missing crewmembers, said coast guard officer Gurdip Singh, adding that 32 crewmembers were rescued from the tanker.
Andhra Pradesh state said two people died there when their homes collapsed due to heavy rain Wednesday night in Nellore and Chittoor districts, and PTI reported another death in Tamil Nadu state, a 46-year old man who slipped into the rough sea from a pier and drowned. Sri Lanka reported two deaths earlier from the cyclone.
The cyclone had maximum winds of 75 kph (45 mph) after landfall but had weakened to a tropical depression. A storm surge of up to 1.5 meters (5 feet) was forecast to flood low-lying coastal areas, the India Meteorological Department said.
Power supply was disrupted to parts of Chennai, the capital of Tamil Nadu state, PTI said.
Heavy to very heavy rain expected, and fishermen were asked to stay at shore.
State authorities turned 282 schools into relief centers in Chennai and the city's port halted cargo operations. Twenty-three ships were moved to safer areas.
About 150,000 people were moved to shelters in Nellore, district official B. Sridhar said.
In Sri Lanka, 4,627 people were displaced by flooding and 56 fled because of a landslide threat in the island's central region. One woman died Tuesday after a tree branch fell on her while another person was killed in flooding, the nation's Disaster Management Center said. Floods also damaged about 1,000 houses, it said.

Jahangir - August 15, 2015


Today something snapped, gave way, broke down and obliterated the me I want to be. I feel overwhelming despair, it is almost suffocating, I can feel it in the base of my throat and in the pit of my stomach. It's like a wad of heavy oppressive darkness inside of me.
I don't want to see anyone, speak to anyone, go anywhere, do anything. I want to curl up in a ball and simply not exist.
Depression is a cruel monster, it lives inside me and no matter how hard I try eventually he breaks free and runs amok within my brain, leveling my wall to keep him contained and smashing everything good inside me. It takes so much time and effort to regain control and wall him back up.
He makes me hate myself ~ I look in the mirror and want to vomit at what I see looking back at me. I hate who I am, what I am. I feel useless, worthless, boring and a waste of life.
This blog is my space to talk, to vent, to share, to hope that somehow, somewhere, someone is reading this and can relate, can understand and has empathy. To know that someone else is riding this awful tsunami of emotions helps somehow. I wish you weren't going through this too ~ but know that you are not alone, I am not alone.
I love my family so very much and hate that no matter what they say or do, they cannot help me. The chemicals in my brain are misfiring spectacularly ~ I am hopeful that my GP will see fit to increase my Amitriptyline for me because it is the only anti~depressant, and believe me I have tried them all, that works effectively for me. I know that the therapy, when it comes through, will help too.
I forced myself out today, to Halfords to pick up L plates for youngest child. I stood there, in the shop, sobbing, unable to stop unable to control myself and hating myself for it. I really hate others to see me cry it makes me feel even worse than I do already.
I cried in the car driving to pick up second born and her housemate. Thankfully they understand and just let me get on with it. It's awful if I am crying in a public place and someone asks if I am alright ~ not words come out, just spluttering noises as my eyes stream and my nose runs inelegantly. My face becoming increasingly red and blotchy, it just adds insult to injury. I apologise to those caring strangers for my shaking head and swift exit. I don't mean to be rude, it's just I can't talk to you, I can't explain because I have no control over when the tears will come. They start to leak without any warning and for no apparent reason ~ no essential trigger.
I know, because of living with depression for so long, what to do. I have made that gp appointment and referred myself for therapy. I have to wait it out, to ride the wave, to weather the storm ~ so between now and then I am broken. I will do what I can to plaster the cracks in the meantime. If however, you know me and I appear rude, distant or show inappropriate behaviour I apologise in advance.
Also, you may see me, I may laugh, smile, joke with you ~ then leave you and sob violently in the toilet until I can remake the mask and venture out again. People with depression are very good at putting on an act, but it comes at a terrible cost. When the act is switched off the wave of emotions that you have to surf come bigger, harder, faster.
If you are like me, suffering right now then hold on for dear life ~ access whatever support you can and ask for help. Take that help and grasp onto it with both hands. Let others come to your aid ~ it's not a weakness, you have shown great strength by reaching out.
I hope to be in a happier, healthier place in the future ~ til then, please bear with me.
Previous Post Regrets, I have a few.
Have posted this. It is a really accurate picture of life with depression. It comes and goes but does it ever really go away!
I know depression. It came upon me when my mother got ill and died two years later. My doctor gave me medication and I got better, though I think I had high functioning depression for a while. I wasn't able to confront things that had to be worked out after her death. As a consequence, I still have a lot of paperwork to take care of. Now I'm learning to confront these things.
To have the world turn black and want to fall into the whirlpool is horrid. But what keeps us going is the love that surrounds us, as well as life's little moments that try to make us smile. Just remember no one is expendable. We are loved for who we are, with all our faults. If we disappear, we leave a tremendous hole in people's hearts. Our lives are not our own, but belong to us and to those who love us. And depression will go away and life can be beautiful again.
