We decided to map craftsmanships, workshops and inventory sites and trades operating around our area. The goal is twofold: to provide a sourcing tool and to develop an attitude that can contribute to the valorization of a slowly disappearing but essential activity.
Applied first to Votanikos, we are expanding our network of local talents to the city of Athens and its surrounding area with an ambition to become a resource pool offering direct access to a variety of recommended professionals.
What could seem an archaism, a survival of a world disappearing is in fact an asset, an essentiel part of the future of Athens. The practices of makers (artists, designers, architects, inventors, geeks, etc...) pass now by a reappropriation of the means of production, and for this reason they must be ideally small and located in downtown area. By attending these places, it appears that more and more Athenian and foreign makers find their interest to produce in Athens. We want to accompany this movement by creating a tool which cartography and facilitates the access to these places.
This selection is ours, it is the result of years of collaboration and remains subjective, it is obvious that we get no interest in it apart from the fact that thoses addresses are the best ones we found. To this map a lexicon of technical words translated in about ten languages will be added (Greek, French, German, Italian, English, Albanian,Bulgarian, Roumanian, Russian, Yugoslavian, Arabic and Urdu). This corpus of a hundred words will be accompanied by a small photograph or small technical illustration. The purpose of this lexicon is to help people not speaking Greek or not well enough to communicate what they are searching for, these words being often absent from online dictionaries. It will equally include words of components, materials and words describing machining processes and transformation of material.


I've only listened to the Verona van de Leur part and I'm just gonna say that her comeback is not happening. Regardless of whatever happened in her past, she's just not. The way she talked about it in an interview with NOS (Dutch national television).. nope. She was like 'well considering the state of Dutch gymnastics, it shouldn't be that hard' like lol do you even know how different gymnastics is compared to way back when you competed? It's just not going to happen.
If it does, that's great. I hope she can prove me wrong. But I highly doubt it.
Also, if you're a figure skating fan, 2014 Olympic Silver Medalist Eric Radford came out in an interview from OUT Sports.
I cracked up over the bit where Jessica and Emma discuss men's leos. I highly recommend you guys watch Chinese nationals some time because I've seen a handful of guys wear sparkly and shiny man leos in recent years.
As long as I don't see any hot pink dudes leos that are so ugly, they wouldn't even be worn at a Pride Parade, I'm okay with that.
According to what I had heard, the \"business arrangements\" that actually caused the issues with Chow\'s was that Chow had had a coach leave the gym along with pretty much that entire training group, and so he asked all his remaining high-level coaches and big prospect gymnasts to sign a non-compete contract. This basically states that they can\'t leave Chow\'s for another gym until after the 2016 Olympics and it\'s pretty insanely unethical, there was the threat that USAG might step in with legal issues, etc, etc. So Gabby and co. basically decided they weren\'t going to put up with that.
Men\'s total program change: Yin Alvarez is the new Marta.
I think the easiest way to get good beam mounts out of every gymnast would be to make the mount necessarily count as one of the eight elements. They had done that with dismounts on one of the events a while back iirc. I\'d also like to see more uprises on UB rather than kips- Ebee is the only elite who\'s really done them lately and they just lended a little something extra to her bars.
I don\'t think it would hurt at all to ask permission to borrow choreography, etc.
I think in gymnastics a lot of times a floor routine comes to be very closely identified with its performer (at least on the elite scene) and so copying a routine would be seen as like… a junior high stalker-ish way of trying to be them? Not sure exactly how to put it in words. On the other hand there are some pieces (eg. Hava Nagila, just about anything Tchaikovsky, the song that both Shushunova and Dawes used, etc.) that see a lot of use just because they\'re good songs to dance to, but every routine choreographed to them is a different interpretation.
I liked Podkopayeva\'s Figaro routine, but at the same time, for all that it was iconic it was very much a product of its time and I\'m not sure how well it would go over if someone did revive it today for any purpose other than explicitly to pay homage to Pod for a show or gala. Not to mention, again, weird stalkerish \"I love you so much that I wanna do everything exactly the way you did it!\" vibe. But I digress.

With Valentine's Day just two weeks away, we decided to whip up some cute (and slightly creepy) Valentine's Day cards using some of our favorite vintage photographs from Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children.
The Valentines all measure 640x875, making them the perfect size for printing out for whatever Valentine you choo-choo-choose. Or go ahead and save them to your desktop (right click, save as). Post them on your Tumblr, Tweet them at your friends, paste one on that special someone's Facebook wall, or pin them all on your Pinterest board. Attach one in an email and send it off to your book loving friends. Whatever you need to do to let that special someone know you care.
Check out the rest of the Valentines below. Have fun!

Nokia E1 Android Phone Spotted as TA-1000 on Certification Site: Report
Nokia's comeback under HMD Global is one of the most anticipated events of next year, and the company's roadmap suggests that it looks to launch five Android smartphones in 2017. Now, a new Nokia smartphone with model number TA-1000 has passed the China Compulsory Certification (3C) hinting at its imminent arrival – and it's thought to be the Nokia E1 that was leaked recently.
While there is very little that is revealed about the smartphone, it comes with the model number TA-1000. Android Pure notes that the listed device is speculated to be the heavily rumoured Nokia E1 smartphone. The 3C listing confirms that the Nokia TA-1000 comes with 5V/2A charging support, which means that the specific smartphone does not support fast charging – which is the reason for the Nokia E1, as that is tipped to be a mid-range device.
The Nokia E1 has further been tipped to come with Android 7.0 Nougat out-of-the-box. The mid-range device is expected to be powered by a Snapdragon 600 series processor coupled with 4GB of RAM. The base option for internal storage on the phone is expected to be 64GB. It's worth stressing that all of this information is based on leaks, and should be taken very lightly.
Nokia is also expected to unveil the Nokia D1C at MWC 2017. The company has also been rumoured to launch a flagship variant named Nokia P with Snapdragon 835 SoC coupled with 6GB of RAM sometime in future. Alleged Nokia P has been tipped to feature a 23-megapixel camera setup.
Out of the five, four new models will have display sizes ranging from 5 inches to 5.7 inches, at QHD or full-HD resolutions. LG Display, Century Technology (CTC), and Innolux will be supplying the panels for the upcoming phones with FIH Mobile serving as production partner.

EHA meets with DG Enterprise on EU Green Car Initiative
The EHA met with the the interim director of the Unit Automotive of the Commission's DG Enterprise to discuss the first experiences wit hte EU Green Car Initiaitve that was annouced last November as part of teh EU Economic Recovery Package to support the struggling European car industry. The programme focusses on the development of electric powertrain with a clear focus on batteries and support for clean diesel and biofuel technology. It provides financial support for green technologies in the form of grants from the European Commission's scientific research budget, and loans from the European Investment Bank. Under the Green Cars Initiative, research will be funded in a variety of areas such as greener combustion engines for trucks, bio-methane, and electric and hybrid vehicles and infrastructure. The financial support measures will be supplemented by demand side measures involving regulatory action by Member States and the EU, such as the reduction of car registration taxes on low CO2 cars to stimulate car purchase by citizens.Mr. Jean explained that the first calls for proposal that was announced on July 30 was the result of a collabroation with DG RTD and DG TREN. The EHA explained the importance of hydrogen and fuel cells in the development of a future electric transport system that would cover all transport needs including long distance travel and opublic transport. The importance of a coordinated development of the recharging and hydrogen refuelling infrastructure for battery resp. fuel cells cars was also discussed. The EHA communicated its intention to support a joint strategy paper on this subject. Mr. Jean suggested a follow up meeting after the new appointment of the new Commissioners to discuss the infrastructure aspects more in detail. More info at the EGCI website.

Q: How to resolve a Promise only after a state change I am trying to resolve a Promise only after a certain condition is met outside the promise:
class myClass extends ... {

    render() {
       ...
       this.fetch();
       ....
    }

    fetch(){
        Promise.all([
          ....,
          ....,
          ....
        ]).then( () => {
          // new Promise or somthing like that
          // wait for state changed to resolve it
        }
        ).then(
          // do something
        )
    }

    stateChanged(state){
        if(condition){
           // resolve promise from here
        }
    }

}

I tried to implement it in similar way to this question
Resolve Javascript Promise outside function scope
but I do not understand

*

*how we can call a variable

*how to make this work inside my Class
I tried it with a this.waitForPromise = null variable, but when I call
it later this.waitForPromise() I get a is not a function Type error.

class myClass extends ... {

    render() {
       ...
       this.fetch();
       ....
    }

    constructor(){
        this._waitForPromise = null;
    }

    fetch(){
        Promise.all([
          ....,
          ....,
          ....
        ]).then( () => {
            new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
              this._waitForPromise = resolve;
            });
        }
        ).then(
          // do something
        )
    }

    stateChanged(state){
        if(condition){
           this._waitForPromise();
        }
    }

}

Any help and explanation is much appreciated.

A: You have a closure issue using this, so capture it first.
You should return the promise in your then.
You should check to see if promise is created when state changes.
Keep in mind you can only invoke one of resolve/reject, and only once.
class myClass extends ... {

    render() {
       ...
       this.fetch();
       ....
    }

    constructor(){
        this.resolve = null;
        this.state = null; // TODO initial state
    }

    fetch(){
        const that = this;
        Promise.all([
          ....,
          ....,
          ....
        ]).then( () => {
            return new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
              that.resolve = resolve;
              that.checkState();
            });
        }
        ).then(
          // do something
        )
    }

    checkState(){
      if(condition && this.resolve){
         this.resolve();
         this.resolve = null;  // set to null to ensure we don't call it again.
      }
    }

    stateChanged(state){
        this.state = state;
        this.checkState();
    }

}

A: OK, so I'm not all that familiar with Polymer 3, but I'm fluent in Polymer 1 and 2.
I'm getting that you want to do this:

*

*Get an ajax promise.

*Return said ajax promise once a certain state has changed.

*do a fetch call if said promise hasn't been done.
What you need to do is to save your promise as a variable, and then just chain it together with other method calls. The comments below explains more about what I'm doing with your example code from the OP.
class myClass extends ... {

render() {
   ...
   this.fetch();
   ....
}

fetch(){
    this.set('savedPromise', Promise.all([ // save promise to variable
      ....,
      ....,
      ....
    ])
    // not needed
    /* .then( () => {
      // new Promise or somthing like that
      // wait for state changed to resolve it
    }*/
    ).then(
      // do something

      return result // added this line
    )
}

stateChanged(state){
    if(condition){
       if (this.savedPromise) {
         this.savedPromise.then(function(response) {
           // handle data
         });
       else {
         fetch().then(function(response) {  // if set before render(), do a fetch call.
           // handle data
         }
       }
    }
}

}

Q: Error in returned value of mapDispatchToProps I'm getting the following error for my code:

        } else {
          dispatch(loginError(error));
        }
      });
    }
  }

A: in mapDispatchToProps you return one object, have you tried removing the parentheses in the function?
const mapDispatchToProps = (dispatch) => {
    return {
        login: (email,password) => {dispatch(loginUser(email,password))}
         }
}

A: mapDispatchToProps is supposed to be just an object.
const mapDispatchToProps =  {
  login: loginUser
}

loginUser is the action that you're importing to mapDispatchToProps and you're assinging that as this.props.login.

Description	 When using x or X to enter eXamine mode and using a subsequent command that should display text (e.g. v or ?) the overlay/modal with the desired test is not visible. It seems to be getting rendered off screen, perhaps? The code thinks the modal is up; the screen is frozen until you hit something (e.g. escape) to cancel the modal, at which point you are back in eXamine mode; you just can't see anything.
Works in 21.0 and worked in trunk until at least ~2 weeks ago.
Thanks for reporting! This was fixed in trunk; at this time, only CAO is missng the fix, but it should land within an hour or so.
What version is displayed on the ?V screen? CAO is working for me, at version 0.22-a0-832-g4a1e013.
It's possible your browser is caching files from the old version.
I am in 0.22-a0-832-g4a1e013, in private/incognito windows in both safari and chrome. In fact you are correct, xv now works, BUT oddly enough Xv still does not. when I enter X mode it hides the message history which shifts the screen slightly, perhaps that's related? In any case the v panel is still invisible in X mode.

"The survey revealed that while parents knew little about the new school funding law, they were overwhelmingly willing to participate in decisions about school budgets -- if they feel they would be heard. The survey also found distinct differences among high-income and low-income parents when it comes to evaluation of schools and levels of engagement. In addition to providing an important baseline for parent engagement in California, this information can help educators and other stakeholders better understand the obstacles to parent participation and improve their outreach as the state implements its new funding system.

New IR system 'stuns' bosses
KIM MACDONALD and SARAH QUINTONThe West Australian
Wed, 20 January 2010 8:43AM
The peak business lobby claims many bosses are still unprepared for recently introduced employment awards, with some firms shocked to find their costs had jumped tens of thousands of dollars overnight.
The Chamber of Commerce and Industry said the changes heralded the biggest shake-up to the award system in history, but many businesses had little idea how it affected them.
CCI workplace relations policy director Marcia Kuhne called on the Federal Government to give funds to employer groups such as the CCI so they could run education programs.
She said the introduction of $66,000 penalties for breaches should be delayed until after adequate awareness campaigns.
The new system streamlines the number of awards governing pay and conditions from 4000 to 122 from January 1 this year. In some cases, pay rises would be phased in from July.
Ms Kuhne said one small business was shocked to discover that from January 1, it would be forced to pay staff an extra $18,000 in laundry allowances.
Some businesses had been stunned to find out they would come under a new award after calling CCI on an unrelated industrial matter.
CCI has had a five-fold increase in industrial inquiries. Inquiries had almost doubled compared with March and April in 2006 when WorkChoices was introduced.
Gingin vegetable grower Tony Colotti said the new horticulture award would increase his Sunday payments to staff by $500 because he would have to pay them double-time by mid-year.
He said the move would seriously affect the bottom line for many growers, who were forced to work weekends to meet traditional Monday morning delivery contracts with retailers.
"If retailers can't get their goods early Monday morning, they're going to go and look elsewhere, so we're going to have to absorb that," he said.
Mr Colotti complained there was widespread confusion because the award applied only to certain business structures, excluding family trusts, sole traders and partnerships. The companies had been given only weeks to adjust to some of the changes.
Federal Workplace Relations Minister Julia Gillard did not respond to questions.

Q: polkit.d - no such file or directory When consolekit starts on my system, polkitd also starts and during that startup, I see an error message complaining that polkitd cannot find files that exist.
I checked the permissions and they seem fine, so I'm wondering if it is a configuration issue for the content inside of the files.

A: The problem was in the return statement, instead of returning polkit.Result.YES, a simple "yes" works.  I think I was referencing the wrong constant, so I'm glad it was something simple.


Supply chain complexity gets much attention. Some of it is real; more is perceived. Risks, especially with the foreign parts, are discussed. Cost vagaries are a topic. Few explore the drivers and root causes of suspect supply chain performance, namely why it exists, how to identify it and what can be improved and what is a fact of doing business in the global market.
Sourcing and selling are global. Yet companies use organization techniques and accounting practices that date back over 100 years--when business was domestic, not international. Firms that dwell on the difficulties of supply chain complexity often do not have an understanding of activities and the process and flow involved. Such businesses organize and define their logistics and supply chains in functional terms of freight, warehouse and other costs.
They fail to understand the impact of supply chain management on their customers and, especially, on their businesses. As a result, these firms struggle with costs, performance and service - often while carrying excess inventories. They do not change and adapt to the realities of global activity and effectively managing them. Their supply chains are not designed; they have evolved in an unsystematic manner.
Supply chain complexity and risk have external drivers that can cause disruption. The drivers may be known, even if accurately predicting them and the timing are not. They can include geopolitical, natural disasters, supplier viability and responsiveness, and the rapidly changing vagaries of customers.
Bottom line, companies have the supply chains-and performances - that they designed purposely or through neglect. Supply chain leaders control and manage complexity; they do not let complexity control them.
Two is to assess what role outsourcing can play to fix supply chain process design and to improve operations results. Three is to streamline the supply chain as to the process, number of participants and their roles and locations.
Firms with products sourced and sold on a global basis, with fast moving products, with products having short life cycles, with seasonal products, with high SKU (stock keeping unit) proliferation or with a mix of these product types must especially utilize best supply chain practices. It is a requirement, not a choice.

'Eighth Grade' star brushes off cyber-bullies after backlash to 'Bohemian Rhapsody' tweet
Patrick Ryan
NEW YORK — Elsie Fisher knows a thing or two about cyber-bullies, having played the social-media-savvy teen heroine of comedy "Eighth Grade."
But on Sunday, the 15-year-old actress had an unfortunate experience with the real thing, after she enthusiastically tweeted her excitement over "Bohemian Rhapsody's" Golden Globe wins for best drama and actor (Rami Malek).
"IM SO HAPPY RAMI MALEK AND BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY WON GOLDEN GLOBES," she wrote. "IM THRILLED TONIGHT IS THE BEST NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Fisher's elation didn't sit well with some Twitter users, given that "Bohemian" has been accused of "straightwashing" its subject, Queen frontman Freddie Mercury, who was bisexual. The biopic was also directed by disgraced filmmaker Bryan Singer, who was fired from the project during production following multiple allegations of sexual assault.
"This is why Eighth Grade lost," one person wrote in response to Fisher's tweet, while others lashed out at the young Golden Globe nominee directly, writing, "Elsie please no" and "This is why you didn't win."
Fisher was initially surprised by the negative reactions, she told USA TODAY at the New York Film Critics Circle awards dinner Monday night, where she was on hand to support "Eighth Grade" director Bo Burnham.
"I wasn't informed on the entire situation about the director of the movie. I just honestly didn't know," said Fisher, who later issued a lengthy apology on Twitter. "It's no big deal. People have been really kind about it," with many praising her mature response to online trolls.
Luckily for those of us who follow her, Fisher has no plans to stop tweeting.
"If I make mistakes, I want to give an example for how people should react to (critics) on social media," Fisher said. "I feel like if I were to stop, that would be me giving in. People should just be more civil."
And what of Malek? Fisher posted a tearful (but happy!) selfie from inside the Beverly Hilton ballroom immediately following his Globes win Sunday, but says the two never got to actually meet face to face.
"I did make eye contact, though," she says. "We were like, waving at each other, so that was amazing."


These in vitro assays help you understand the potential stability of your compound in vivo. We use liver microsomes from mice, rats, dogs, monkeys, and humans to compute disappearance rates and predict in vivo clearance.
Metabolites are identified with Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), using various scan modes and fragmentation pathways of the compound. This information can guide the synthetic optimization of lead compounds by delineating the metabolic "soft-spots".
We identify the CYP enzymes involved in the metabolism of lead compounds to aid prediction of drug-drug interactions. We also use FDA recommended inhibitors and recombinant CYP enzymes for confirmation.
In vitro induction of cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes is an important predictor of drug-drug interactions. We use real time PCR assays for CYP expression and can test enzymatic activity of induced CYP to understand your compounds potential for clinical drug-drug interactions.
The extent of drug distribution, metabolism and elimination is dependent on the amount of free compound in systemic circulation. We use in vitro assays such as equilibrium dialysis and ultrafiltration to help you understand the species-specific plasma protein-binding.
Concentrations of drugs may differ between plasma and whole blood as a consequence of different binding to specific cells. We use a well-established assay to define the blood to plasma ratio that is important for predicting whole body pharmacokinetics.

Multiple Working Postures - The 501-32 electric height-adjustable frames enable users to sit, lean or stand during their daily work. Transitioning between these positions encourages greater activity in the work place, bringing associated health benefits as workers are able to move away from a completely sedentary environment.
Infinitely Adjustable, Effortless Height Adjustment - The base provides infinite adjustment of height from 26" to 46", allowing users to quickly and precisely adjust the worksurface to the optimal height for the desired workstation configuration (sitting, standing, or anything in-between).
Accommodates Nearly All Users - The range of adjustment is sufficient to accommodate nearly all individuals, sitting or standing, up to 6' 4".
Dual Safety Switch: There are two switches (one activation switch and one toggle switch) that must be depressed simultaneously to adjust the height. This design ensures that any change in height requires a conscious action by the operator. Accidental triggering of the height adjustment mechanism cannot occur if only one switch is activated.
Triple Nesting Columns: The nested telescoping legs provide over 20" of height adjustment with minimal effect on stability even when at maximum height.
Adjustable Feet: The base includes feet that can be adjusted to ensure the base is level and to compensate for imperfections of the floor.
Switch! Set a notification on your computer or phone to remind you to switch between sitting and standing on a regular basis. Doing so will help you develop the habit of changing position throughout the day.
Be sure to consider your height as you position your desk. Be aware that the height of your heels and even the time of day will affect your standing height. (Most people will be a 2-3 cm shorter at the end of a day than at the start) Ensure that you adjust the desk accordingly to achieve a neutral posture.
Consider an anti-fatigue mat. Many users find that standing is actually tiring, especially so with the hard surfaced floors on which most people work. The short nap carpet that is common in many office or retail environments does little to mitigate the rigidity of the concrete it usually covers. A good anti-fatigue mat can leave you much less fatigued at the end of the day as it encourages flexing of the feet and lower leg muscles. If you wish to regularly switch between standing and sitting you will want a mat which can be easily moved when transitioning between the two positions.

Q: 7/30/120-or-deletion → 7/30/365 When issuing suspensions on a user, the recommended lengths are:

*

*1st suspension: 7 days

*2nd suspension: 30 days

*3rd suspension: 365 days
However, it was originally:

*

*1st suspension: 7 days

*2nd suspension: 30 days

*3rd suspension: 120 days or deletion
Why was it originally 7/30/120-or-deletion, but later changed to 7/30/365?

A: There's also another reason why accounts are not deleted purely for behavioral reasons if they have contributed any useful posts.
As of 2012 (possibly late 2011?), after the original policy of deleting accounts in such cases was created, the system was changed so that when an account is deleted, their username would be anonymized to their user ID. (Previously, it would just gray out their username without anonymizing it; you may have stumbled across a few old non-migrated posts from grayed out authors.)
This, however, could be considered removing the attribution, which would be a violation of the CC BY-SA license (all versions that SE has used), unless the contributor specifically requested removing it. So, to remain on the safe side, SE changed their policy to not delete accounts unless the user voluntarily requests it or the account has no visible posts. (SE makes it clear to users who request account deletion that they're also requesting under the license to have their attribution removed from all posts.)
(There are two schools of thought regarding user anonymization upon deletion actually removing attribution: some believe that your attribution is being removed since your name is no longer on the post, while others believe that it is not being removed since your user code is still attached to the post, which still uniquely identifies you later on. But as the answer to the latter post says, SE went by the former interpretation.)

A: On How long does a ban / suspension on an SE site lasts?, Grace Note says:

"7/30/365 is the progression as prescribed by the interface itself for dealing with a user who is a repeat offender, which thus basically means it is what we suggest for moderators ourselves. Originally it was 7/30/120-or-deletion, but since we're no longer really in the punitive deletion methodology, we switched to 365 days."

Judge rules prosecutors can appeal Pistorius conviction
Posted 3:56 am, December 10, 2014, by CNN Wire
JOHANNESBURG (CNN) — A judge in Pretoria ruled Wednesday that South African prosecutors can appeal Oscar Pistorius' conviction, but denied the state's bid to challenge his sentence.
The decision extends the legal battle over Pistorius' fate well into next year.
Prosecutors had said Pistorius' sentence of five years in prison for shooting dead his girlfriend was nowhere near enough punishment.
They also want the double-amputee track star to be convicted of a more serious charge. They had originally sought conviction on a charge of murder.
Pistorius was found guilty of culpable homicide, or negligent killing, in the death of Reeva Steenkamp.
The athlete didn't attend the hearing, which began Tuesday, but his father, Henke, was present.
"I don't think we should have gone this far," he told reporters as he left the courtroom.
But prosecutors welcomed the decision.
"This is what we wanted," said Nathi Mncube, a spokesman for the National Prosecuting Authority. "The issues that we wanted clarified are issues of law and of course the judge agreed with our arguments."
'Shockingly light'
In appeal documents filed previously, the prosecution called Pistorius' sentence "shockingly light" and inappropriate.
Prosecutors argued that Judge Thokozile Masipa misinterpreted a complex South African standard defining a technical form of intent that proved to be a central aspect of the case, according to CNN Legal Analyst Kelly Phelps.
As a result, prosecutors argued, he should not have been convicted on the culpable homicide charge chosen by the judge.
In explaining her sentence at the trial, Masipa had said that Pistorius did not intend to kill Steenkamp.
But critics of the verdict have argued that Masipa didn't correctly apply the intent standard, which is broader in South African law than what it typically means in casual conversation, Phelps says.
The case now goes to the Supreme Court of Appeals in Bloemfontein, which will hear the appeal itself.
If that court finds Pistorius guilty of murder, the resulting sentence would be more severe. The minimum sentence for murder in South Africa is 15 years in prison.
Pistorius, 28, made history when he became the first double-amputee to compete in the able-bodied Olympics in 2012. He was born without the fibulae in his legs, which were amputated below the knee when he was 11 months old.
It usually takes at least a year for an appeal to be heard, according to Mncube of the National Prosecuting Authority.

Q: Table caption alignment I have a table like this:

How can I align Caption with left of table not paper?!
And I want to stretch the table a little.
\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}
\begin{table}[h!]
\centering
 \caption{Dimensions of simulated tissue containing a malignant tumor, all dimensions are in millimeters}
 \label{tabdimension}
\begin{tabular}{ccccc}
\hline
X & Y & Z & D& R \\
\hline
120 & 60 & 25 & 12 &10 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{table}
\end{document}

A: Use threeparttable. In addition, part of the caption can go at the bottom of the table, as a tablenote. Using the rule of booktabs wil add some vertical padding around the rules:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{array, threeparttable, booktabs,  caption}

\begin{document}

\begin{table}[h!]
  \centering\captionsetup{font=footnotesize}
  \begin{threeparttable}
    \caption{Dimensions of simulated tissue containing a malignant tumor}
    \label{tabdimension}
    \begin{tabular}{ccccc}
      \toprule
      X   & Y  & Z  & D  & R  \\
      \midrule
      120 & 60 & 25 & 12 & 10 \\
      \bottomrule
      \addlinespace
    \end{tabular}
    \begin{tablenotes}[flushleft]
      \footnotesize
      \item All dimensions are in mm
    \end{tablenotes}
  \end{threeparttable}
\end{table}

\end{document}

If you prefer to have a two-line caption, you can set the caption width with \captionsetup, but can't use threeparttable In this case, a work around consists in adding a new row to the table, with this code:
\begin{table}[h!]
  \centering
  \captionsetup{font=footnotesize, width= 47mm}
    \caption{Dimensions of simulated tissue containing a malignant tumor}
    \label{tabdimension}
    \begin{tabular}{ccccc}
      \toprule
      X   & Y  & Z  & D  & R  \\
      \midrule
      120 & 60 & 25 & 12 & 10 \\
      \bottomrule
      \addlinespace
      \multicolumn{5}{@{}l}{\footnotesize All dimensions are in mm}
    \end{tabular}

American actress
Behrs at the 38th People's Choice Awards in January 2012.
Elizabeth Ann Behrs
Lancaster, Pennsylvania, U.S.
UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television
Actress, writer
Michael Gladis (m. 2018)
Elizabeth Ann Behrs (born December 26, 1985) is an American actress and writer best known for her starring role as Caroline Channing in the CBS comedy series 2 Broke Girls. The show ran successfully for six seasons and earned Behrs praise and nominations for the Teen and the People's Choice Awards. Having made her screen debut in the 2009 comedy film American Pie Presents: The Book of Love, she later ventured into television roles. Post 2 Broke Girls, Behrs returned to feature films with the 2015 productions Chasing Eagle Rock and Hello, My Name Is Doris. She voiced Carrie Williams in the animated film Monsters University (2013) and Moochie in the television series Home: Adventures with Tip & Oh. In 2018, she was cast as Gemma Johnson in the CBS sitcom The Neighborhood.[1]
In addition to her acting career, Behrs has authored a self-help book and continues to write the webcomic Dents. She is also a philanthropist and the founder of the SheHerdPower Foundation, which helps victims of sexual assaults.
Early life[edit]
Behrs was born on December 26, 1985 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, the elder daughter of David Behrs, a college administrator, and Maureen Behrs, a first grade teacher.[2][3][4] She has a sister who is six years younger.[5] In 1989 her family moved to Springfield, Virginia and later to Lynchburg, Virginia, where she was raised.[4] She began performing in theater at age four and played soccer while growing up.[6] She was a student at E.C. Glass High School.[7]
At age 15, Behrs relocated with her family to Marin County, California.[8] She began attending Tamalpais High School in 2001, and was accepted into the school's highly regarded drama program. She graduated from that high school in 2004.[9] Behrs studied at the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco, and went on to perform in the musical Dangling Conversations: The Music of Simon and Garfunkel, and the plays Korczak's Children and A Bright Room Called Day. She was classically trained as a singer.[10]
Behrs moved to Los Angeles, California, in 2004, to study acting at the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television.[10] In 2005, she played Sandy Dumbrowski in a production of Grease at San Francisco's Ray of Light Theatre, and was named Miss Marin County in 2006.[11][12] She began auditioning for roles in her senior year and graduated in 2008 with a bachelor's degree in critical studies. Behrs was awarded a Young Musician's Foundation Vocal Scholarship after graduating from the college.[9][8]
Behrs landed her first film role in the comedy American Pie Presents: The Book of Love, which she filmed in Vancouver for seven weeks beginning in March 2009.[8] The seventh in the American Pie series, the film was released direct-to-video on December 22, 2009. She next starred in Adventures of Serial Buddies, an independent comedy about an inept group of serial killers produced by TV personality Maria Menounos.[10] The film also starred Christopher Lloyd, Kathie Lee Gifford, and Artie Lange. In late 2010, Behrs shot the independent feature, Route 30, Too!, in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, playing an alien girl.[13]
Behrs began working in television with guest appearances on NCIS: Los Angeles and ABC's Castle.[14] In 2011, she was working as a nanny and at the Geffen Playhouse in Westwood, when she auditioned for the CBS sitcom 2 Broke Girls. She landed the lead role after seven auditions.[12] Behrs stars as Caroline Channing, an heiress from Manhattan's Upper East Side, who is forced to become a waitress at a diner in Williamsburg, Brooklyn after her father is arrested for financial wrongdoing.[15] Her character is a graduate of the Wharton School who teams up with a waitress named Max (Kat Dennings) in a business venture.[12] The series is produced by comedian Whitney Cummings and Sex and the City-producer Michael Patrick King.[6] In March 2016, CBS renewed the series for a sixth season.[16] On May 12, 2017, the series was canceled after six seasons.[citation needed]
In 2013, Behrs appeared on It's a Brad, Brad World, a Bravo reality television series featuring fashion stylist Brad Goreski.[17] Behrs was also a presenter at the 2013 Academy of Country Music Awards.[18] She voiced sorority girl Carrie Williams that year in the Disney/Pixar animated film Monsters University, a prequel to 2001's Monsters, Inc..[19] She starred alongside Sally Field and Max Greenfield in the independent comedy, Hello, My Name Is Doris, directed by Michael Showalter.[20] Behrs made her Manhattan stage debut in June 2016 at the Lucille Lortel Theatre in Halley Feiffer's comedic play, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Gynecologic Oncology Unit at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center of New York City.[21]
Behrs is also an author. Since 2016, she co-creates the webcomic Dents with her friend Matt Doyle. Inspired by X-Men comics, the webcomic explores themes such as sexuality, feminism and environmental issues.[22] Behrs released the book The Total Me-Tox: How to Ditch Your Diet, Move Your Body & Love Your Life in May 2017, in which she shares her personal journey towards health and happiness.[23]
Behrs and actor Michael Gladis were engaged on July 10, 2016, after a six-year relationship.[24] They appeared in a short film together, The Argument, in 2012, for the comedy website Funny or Die.[25] Behrs began equine therapy in 2011 to help manage panic attacks and anxiety that she had experienced all her life. Behrs founded SheHerdPower Foundation, which pairs women with horses, to provide therapy to victims of sexual assault.[26] On July 21, 2018, she married Gladis at scenic Moose Creek Ranch in Victor, Idaho, just outside Jackson Hole.[27][28]

This is part 2 of my future phone 2025 vision article, for part 1, check out the post here. This part details out the features that could be in Phone 2025!
Neuromorphic processor with an "AI-core"
Existing smartphones have been demonstrated to digitize documents, translate signs, drive a car, solve a Rubik's cube, and the 2025 phone will become a butler, providing information that you didn't know you needed, giving answers and solutions as you command it, learning your habits, nuances and behaviors to essentially offset human weaknesses.
For that to happen, the processor needs to be powerful – as powerful as a human brain, but without its caveats, such as forgetfulness. The processor will be a multi-SoC (system on chip) and will have the standard CPU-GPU cores, but with a Vision Processing Unit (VPU) and a neuromorphic core or Neural Processing Unit (NPU). This CPU-GPU-VPU-NPU processor will pave the way for Artificial intelligence (AI) of the future.
For the sake of simplicity, I call this neuromorphic processor an Artificially Intelligent Neural Processing Unit (AI-NPU). With machine-learning algorithms and neural-network (NN) circuitry, this AI-NPU core will feature deep-learning capability and the smartphone will learn to anticipate what I want to do next, my schedules, habits, desires and needs in a more human-like manner than the semantic feedback we have today.
A neuromorphic core is a processor modeled after the human brain, designed to process sensory data such as images and sound and respond to changes in that data in ways not specifically programmed. A learning and constantly evolving core computing architecture is tremendously efficient as it finds new and better ways to process a task. It's like learning how to ride a bicycle. Despite the complexity of the activity, after a few tries, the task becomes ingrained and effortless, and the brain now automatically maintains balance and speed to keep a bicycle in motion.
With human-like anticipation and realism, you will not be able to tell the difference between your phone and a person. By learning texting habits, the phone will be able to respond to messages by itself, like having a bot to reply to those tedious chats. The new processor will make Bixby, Alexa, Siri and Cortana jealous.
This year's mobile phones are on 7nm wafer processors which are already blurring the lines between desktop-grade CPUs and mobile CPUs. Qualcomm's new Snapdragon 1000 chip is designed to compete with x86 chips and Nvidia's GPU systems are marketed for AI applications.
Current leaders in mobile processors marketed with purported "AI capability" include MediaTek's new Helio P90 and Qualcomm's Snapdragon 855. Beyond 2019, major chip manufacturer TSMC has announced that its 5nm wafer fabrication process is ready for production for the next generation of processors, and Intel has announced its new Foveros 3D chip stacking technology.
The semiconductor industry has been pretty consistent in its projected advancements, with major players investing billions of dollars in R&D, and I expect to see a powerful CPU shrink down in size to fit my smartphone in 2025.
Computing Desktop environment
With all that processing power in a phone, do we really need a laptop or tablet for everyday computing tasks? The future phone will become your future laptop or desktop with a simple dock.
The idea is not new. Since 2012 Asus has had a product line, the PadFone, where its smartphone could be docked into a tablet – increasing the screen real estate and battery life of the phone.
This desktop functionality concept was recently updated by Razer's Linda, Microsoft's Continuum and Samsung's DeX. Linda turns a smartphone into a trackpad that docks into a laptop body, whilst Dex is a dock for a phone which creates a familiar desktop computing environment. This desktop PC feature will be mainstream in future phones just by plugging a reversible USB Type-C port into the phone for both graphics and power. Examples today include Continuum and DeX, which can run from the company's flagship phones. You'd be surprised how something so simple still isn't intuitive enough today.
Memory capacity could come from ultrafast Intel's Optane, comprising of Micron's 3D XPoint memory, while as of 2019 Samsung's embedded Universal Flash Storage (eUFS) memory offers memory of up to 1Tb.
I envision that in 2025, we will all be carrying our PC in our pocket, looking for USB-C ports to plug our phones into so we can display our own instant-on PC at work, a friend's home, or just about anywhere. I'll wake up, undock my phone from its wireless-charging cradle and, when I reach work, I'll just dock my phone into the cradle at my desk. There is would be no need for a dedicated computer at work or at home. All files are stored on various cloud services (Dropbox, Google Drive, Onedrive), while persistent files are stored in the phone's 16TB of storage.
A home, or in the office, projectors and screens receive wireless display commands from the phone that are compatible with existing wireless display standards such as Apple's AirPlay, Miracast, Intel Wireless Display (WiDi) and DLNA. As a computing desktop, our 2025 phone will push or stream a desktop screen to any TV, projector or screen that is compatible.
You'll finally be free of lugging around a laptop. Just think about that.
The phone will have the latest connectivity options built into its communications chips.
5G-New Radio (5G-NR) is slated to replace 4G. 4G-LTE was introduced in 2009 and it took a few years for the infrastructure to become mainstream. 5G is in its infancy now, and 900% improvement has been demonstrated by Qualcomm over existing 4G networks.
By 2021, we should see 5G become mainstream in mobile devices and commonplace in the 2025 phone, with upgrades over existing standards. The increased speed and bandwidth that enables 5G is the use of a broader spectrum of frequencies and multiple antenna arrays. The standard also allows device-to-device communication, allowing your phone to be the central hub or base station controlling all your other IoT gadgets in the vicinity. Major chipmakers Qualcomm, Intel and Huawei all announced their 5G modems this year.
As for Wi-Fi connectivity, the standard that is known as the IEEE 802.11ax, now referred to as Wi-Fi 6 that was just introduced this year, will be mainstream in our Phone 2025.
The new standard feature – Multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) – allows bandwidth speeds five times faster than today's fastest 802.11ac networks. Also, with CO-MIMO antenna arrays, users will experience even faster connectivity when there are several base-stations or routers nearby, as each data stream is broken up or provided by several routers. A very important speed upgrade when streaming 4K-Mixed-Reality (4K-MR) data streams is aptly shown in the Vimeo video in the next section.
With new bandwidth pipelines streaming directly to the future phone, users will demand ever greater instant high-quality content and information. Search, e-commerce and information avenues will grow ridiculously, with instant online demand from consumers. It is one of the reasons Google is paying a premium to have its search engine natively installed on Apple devices. The revenue line between the future phone and content/shopping services will blur and we could see major search engines and retailers putting resources into developing their own phones such as the Google Pixel 4 and Amazon's foray into the smartphone market.
The motivation is simple, the future phone is the de facto portal to content, products, and services.
Figure 1 Ultra-high resolution, Ultra-high contrast ratio, depth variable QLED screen of Phone 2025
Screen technology has come a very long way since the last decade of smartphones, with pixel densities gradually increasing and pixel sizes slowly decreasing, with the first high-density pixel displays marketed by Apple, as a "retina-screen", and Samsung's Super AMOLED both exceeding 200-pixels per inch (ppi) then, and today to 458ppi on the iPhone 11 and 401ppi on the Samsung S10.
Our smartphones have captured all of our visual attention. Americans spend three to four hours a day looking at their phones, and about 11 hours a day looking at screens of any kind. Needless to say, the screen is still the main interactive surface with the Phone 2025, only that the technologies used to build the screen are going to be amazingly different. Today's screens are typically built on AMOLED, IPS-LCD or OLEDs, but upcoming technologies such as a microLED (mLED) are in the works.
I think that QLEDs (quantum-dot) LEDs will become a mature mobile screen technology capable of giving us the chromatic vibrance consumers demand. Quantum-dot displays are not a new technology and are staples of flagship television products today, with manufacturers touting the advantages of QLEDs compared to OLED TVs. A nice comparison is described here. However, QLEDs are still nascent and there is massive commercial push to advance this technology.
I'm just going to call it what it is, the future phone will sport a QLED 4K ultra-resolution screen likely based on electroluminescent quantum dots (ELQD) and… it will be transparent. Why do we need a transparent QLED screen?
We can now hide the front cameras and sensors behind the screen. Since the nano-pixels of the QLED screen are so small, tiny holes or gaps can be created between the light-emitting pixels to allow light through the screen. Looks like Oppo has already unveiled this cool feature!
No more notches or front-facing sensors taking up precious screen area. Just one big gorgeous edge-to-edge QLED screen.
Another cool feature of Phone 2025 is the use of smart nano-optics to create a depth perception, allowing the screen to produce a 3D in-depth effect, some sort of holographic screen viewing experience, this capability is important when we use the phone in eXtended Reality (XR) applications.
This method is known as Visual Aberration Correction utilizing Computational light field displays, this technology pre-distorts the graphics for an observer, so that the target image is perceived without the need for corrective lenses.
This new screen is transparent to cameras and biometric sensors behind the screen and allows depth/dioptre correction so that the display adjusts according to the distance that your eyes are away from the screen. If the screen is close to the user's eyes, it blurs or sharpens reciprocally avoiding the need for corrective optics in XR headsets.
The Camera
With such a powerful brain in my future phone, we need just as powerful sensory inputs. Humans are arguably blessed with the best eyes in nature, but other animals do have their own vision advantages when compared to humans.
For example, cats see better at night, horses have a very large field of vision (350° vs human's puny 180°), and birds of prey have incredible long-range telescopic vision. Many animals have tetrachromic vision such as the mantis shrimp which can see into UV spectrum and a greater spectrum of light than humans!
So the trend of having multiple cameras started out once again from Apple, with the introduction of the iPhone X's dual camera, allowing for different lens elements (wide or telephoto). Manufacturers quickly caught onto the advantages of having more than one camera module and soon we had triple (Huawei's P20 Pro & the Apple iPhone 11 Pro), quad (Samsung Galaxy A9) and even five cameras (Nokia PureView 9).
The main difference between the cameras are the different focal lengths. The shorter the focal length, the wider the angle of view and vice versa. It's almost like carrying a full set of lenses in your pocket.
Ok so we've got some wide-angle shots and some nice zoomed-in shots. So what? What can we do with our two eyeballs that our phone's camera array will allow us to do better?
It's simple physics. More cameras mean the phone can capture more light. Meaning impressive low-light vision and photography, a feature available in Huawei's P30, Google's Pixel 3 and Apple's iPhone 11 Pro. I'm talking about Night-Vision.
So, the Phone 2025 will have an optically stabilized quad camera element array with the following camera capabilities:
In 2007, I thought a liquid-zoom lens would be a cool feature to allow for optical-zoom. After all, you still need actual physical distance to focus light from a distance to the sensor. Then Oppo and Huawei both offered phones with embedded lens elements in a periscopic manner within the camera body. That works too, let's have two in the future phone.
Macro Mode (microscope)
With up to 1cm focal distance from the ultra-wide, ultra-high-resolution main camera, loss of resolution to achieve macro-distances
Night Vision mode in real-time
First, each sensor combines four pixels into one, and then we have light being captured on all four sensors simultaneously to create a true low-light camera, something popular low-light camcorders are known for. An infrared matrix illuminator beside the camera will help illuminate pitch-black conditions.
True-3D videos
A quad camera setup will provide stereoscopic vision and depth-differentiated videos. Because there are now always at least two stereoscopic cameras capturing footage with distance information capture, Phone 2025 essentially becomes a 3D video camera capturing 3D volumetric videos and data. Capture 4K 120 frames per second (fps) 3D-video on this slick future phone.
Super Resolution photos
Super Resolution is a technique that combines all the pixels from the different elements to form one ultra-large resolution photo. The technique differs slightly from night-vision mode where all the pixels are layered on top of one another to create a brighter image. Super Resolution photos combine each pixel side by side to make a larger image. There are commercial cameras using this technique – the Light L16 Camera from Light.co contains 16 camera modules – five 28mm ƒ/2.0, five x 70mm ƒ/2.0, and six 150mm ƒ/2.4 lenses giving a combined resolution of up to 52 million+ pixels! In fact LG has filed a patent for a 16-camera module phone. SIXTEEN.
You don't need that many.
Ultra-Slow-Motion Capture
Fast, sensitive cameras plus a crazy powerful processor equal ultra-slow-mo videos. Sony's Xperia XZ3 can do 960fps at 1080p. I'd reckon Phone 2025 can do 4000fps at 1080p, no sweat. But the higher the fps, the smaller the resolution. Hey, you can't have everything.
360° 3D videos
Something I would like to see integrated into Phone 2025 is a 360° camera. How cool is that? Today's 360° cameras, such as the Insta360 and GoPro Fusion, already produce jaw-dropping video features such as "over capture". Because the camera is capturing 360 traditional frames can be captured from the spherical 360° video footage taken from a single camera point – giving the illusion of a panning camera with a moving subject, 'bullet-time' effect so on and so forth.
It's like many cameras capturing the action all at once. This dream phone would be able to capture simultaneous video from the front and rear camera sensors. With four video streams, two from the front and two from the rear cameras, the AI-NPU stitches it all together.
XR eXtended Reality
Phone 2025 has a powerful processor and powerful "eyes" What else would be cool? Something like Tony Stark's phone in the movie Iron Man 2. Rather, a mixed-reality with AI-machine vision that will enable one to mark out or pull data spatially from the environment.
Today, this is known as a technology-mediated experience that combines virtual and real-world environments and realities, often referred to as Augmented Reality (AR) or Mixed Reality (MR), where some aspect of the real world can be seen, like Microsoft's HoloLens; or Virtual Reality (VR) like the VIVE system, where the user sees a video feed instead of the actual environment.
The 'X' in eXtended is a placeholder for virtual reality V(R), augmented reality A(R) or mixed reality M(R), and XR is can be used to casually group technologies such as VR, AR and MR together. In a nutshell, XR allows us to augment digital objects or information on top of reality, or, conversely, see physical objects as present in a digital scene. There have been many attempts such as the Ghost, and even this cool hyper-reality video concept done by Keiichi Matsuda and another concept by Unity.
Ok so what can we do with XR?
Simple stuff we can do today involves real-time translation: Google's Translate app translates multiple languages, Photomath solves any math problem you take a picture of and Google maps helps you navigate in an urban environment.
When app stores for the smartphone were introduced, they paved the way for an industry of applications and businesses with promises of XR-enabled technologies that would revolutionize the way we interact with our future smartphones.
Things start to get interesting from here on, we can now take a selfie video of ourselves in real time and super-impose that in a virtual environment, and we can increase the size of a physical environment in a virtual environment. Video and audio transmogrification are now real-time too,with speech and video that can now be voiced over or videoed over the actual video. Remember the scene from the movie Mission: Impossible III, where the hero changed his voice using a voice-changing device? Audio-shopping is now possible, and so is video-shopping. With XR, we could have real-time video conversations with a foreign counterpart speaking another language. XR is going to be an incredible productivity changer.
Human Machine Interface Gesture Control
How are you going to control your fancy MR headset? With XR and a computing desktop environment enabled smartphone chances are, we could end up interacting with what's called a Natural User Interface (NUI).
NUI lets users interact with a device with a minimum learning curve – an example is a touch-less gesture control which allows manipulating virtual objects in a way like physical ones. It removes the dependency on mechanical devices like a keyboard or mouse. Different approaches for gesture control include Radar-type sensors from Google, Leap Motion's hand tracking system, and the Bixi hand-gesture system, just to name a few.
Despite the options available, the challenge has been miniaturization, the sensor would have been placed underneath the QLED screen and could either be an optical sensor or just plain old dual-cameras and machine-vision in action and that's not difficult to implement in a mobile device.
The truth is, having an NUI reduces the learning curve of new applications and is critical in XR applications, where the ability to emulate holding or interacting with a virtual object will greatly increase usability of our future phone on many productivity fronts.
Fancy a future with people waving and gesticulating at their phones, that's body language indeed.
Hybrid Biometrics and Security
The Phone 2025 represents your entire digital life, and with that, we will need upgraded security. Since the first fingerprint sensor on the iPhone5S, there have been some exciting developments in this aspect, such as facial and iris-recognition on 2017 flagship smartphones such as the iPhone X and Samsung Galaxy S9.
But how do designers pursue better screen-to-bezel ratios without sacrificing fingerprint sensor footprints? This year, several manufacturers introduced a dozen phone models with under-display fingerprint sensors, such as the Vivo X21, Oppo R17, Huawei Mate P30 Pro, Samsung Galaxy S10, Honor 20 Pro and OnePlus 6T provided by manufacturers from Qualcomm, General Interface Solution (GIS), O-film Tech, Fingerprints and Goodix.
However, we've seen that fingerprint and facial recognition security methods can be spoofed or defeated. How can we create a more secure device without sacrificing screen real estate? I dub the next generation of biometrics in the future phone as Multi-factor authentication (MFA), using no less than five biometric factors at pseudo-random intervals. Full-display fingerprint scanner, facial-recognition, capacitive fingerprinting, blood-flow thermography are technologies that come to mind.
The entire QLED screen would authenticate each finger-press as we tap anywhere on the screen, something Apple patented in April 2019, and I envision the future phone to have thermogram sensors to capture heat information as you use the device. 3D face printouts or fingerprint hacks won't work anymore, as the person using the phone must be a live human being.
Currently, the world's smallest thermal camera is the Lepton from FLIR, which is available here and here, but at $350, it's an expensive component to put into a phone. This is where a lower-cost component such as Panasonic's thermo-graphic matrix sensor, known as the GRID-eye AMG8833, could be used.
The future phone will have at least three biometrics, in-screen fingerprint authenticator checking every time you type on the screen, and a thermal-augmented facial recognition scan. This MFA approach gives confidence that only the owner can access his very expensive, high-tech piece of gear.
Imagine using your phone to unlock your work monitor. There won't be nosy co-workers trying to guess your password or spoof your fingerprint reader. There's nothing to break into if the device isn't even there.
Phone 2025 Vision
Looks like I'm going to wait out the next few phone releases till Phone 2025 is released!

Girls run for the joy and life lessons of it at St. Pius V Catholic School
By LAUREN MAY, Guest Blogger
At St. Pius V Catholic School in Jacksonville we're excited to have a new extracurricular offering: Girls on the Run, a nonprofit after-school activity for girls in grades three through eight. The mission: "We inspire girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running."
Fourth-grader Ta'Niya Bartley and Princial "Coach" Lauren May run during a recent practice.
St. Pius second-grade teacher Esther Franqui coached at a previous school and thought it would be a great addition to the activities available to students at St. Pius.
Coach Franqui and myself, Principal "Coach" Lauren May, created a team of 13 female students. The girls are engaged twice weekly in the Girls on the Run curriculum which helps girls learn valuable core lessons such as:
Recognizing our power and responsibility to be intentional in our decision making
Embracing our differences and find strength in our connectedness
Expressing joy, optimism and gratitude through our words, thoughts and actions
Nurturing our physical, emotional and spiritual health
Leading with an open heart and assume positive intent
Standing up for ourselves and others.
It's already having a positive impact on our students.
"I like Girls on the Run because it helps me make friends, be a kind person and get in shape," said Mikela Jones, fourth-grader at St. Pius.
Fourth-grader Mikayla Jones, , Gwendolyn Hickson, and daughter Trimya Jackson, also a fourth-grader share a moment during practice.
Step Up For Students has several coaches or running buddies in the Jacksonville area. The season ends today (Dec. 3) with a 5K at the University of North Florida, and each girl is assigned a running buddy who runs the 5K with her.
This is a great way for the community to have an impact a girl in a positive way. The girls feel empowered and they are excited about the support.
"I have never been more proud of myself!" said fifth-grader Alethea Butler, after 5K practice at St. Pius on Nov. 10.
Third-grader Caleb Dubois-Brinson runs during practice.
At the Girls on the Run coaches training I met with Conchita Moody, Step Up's Human Resources manager.
We began talking about the history of St. Pius and the 120 Step Up scholars at the school.
"Coach" Conchita agreed to send Step Up hats to all girls on the team.
The community at large is being positively impacted by the work of St. Pius faculty and staff at Step Up partner schools and in the Step Up offices.
Thank you for your participation and for helping our girls learn to activate their limitless potential and learn to accomplish her dreams. Thank you also to Girls on the Run for their support of the program in several schools across the state!
