To shake is 'to move with short, quick movements,' 'to move up and down when mixing,' and 'to tremble', literally and figuratively, as with cold, excitement, or fear. When we shake hands, we hold someone else's hand in greeting and move it up and down. Shake, often used with off, also means 'to get rid of something' or 'to cause something to become loose and fall.' When we are deeply upset or shocked about something, we can say that we are shaken by it. As a noun, a shake is any act of shaking. Informally, it also means 'treatment.' In addition, it is another word for milkshake.
The bartender put all the ingredients in the mixer and then shook them to make the cocktail.
The speaker was clearly nervous; you could see her hands shaking as she reached for her glass of water.
In France, people shake hands in greeting, unless they know each other well enough to kiss.
I can't seem to shake off this cold; I've had it for two weeks now.
Rachel was shaken by the news of her father's death.
With a shake of his head, Peter indicated his disagreement.
We don't believe in preferential treatment; everyone gets a fair shake in this company.
I always get a chocolate shake when I go to the ice cream parlor.
The popular Taylor Swift song "Shake It Off" is about other people's criticism and how the singer just "shakes it off" or, in other words, refuses to pay attention to it and let it bother her.
There is a memorable song about shaking at the end of Tim Burton's 1988 movie Beetlejuice, where the characters (especially the floating Winona Ryder) make shaking movements with their bodies. The song, "Jump in the Line," is by Harry Belafonte, an American singer inspired by his Caribbean roots.
Shake dates back to before the year 900 as the Old English verb sceacan, and later the Middle English verb s(c)haken, both meaning 'to move something quickly back and forth,' as well as 'to flee or depart' (this meaning was later lost, except for in some expressions). It comes from the Proto-Germanic word –skakanan, and is related to the Low German verb schacken and the Old Norse skaka, among others. The noun comes from the verb and also dates back to before the year 900.


He worked at a supermarket for a while. He sold ceramics. He sold shoe laces. He was an insurance agent. He had a wife and two kids. He lived alone. He enjoyed living alone. He did not like anything as much as coming home and closing the door behind him. He watched TV a lot. He went into cinema and he liked it to just sit in the dark, he often could not remember what the movie was about. He was a lady's man. He had affairs with many women. He was strong-willed. He worked at a bank. He wrote software. He worked in government. He was trying out a costume. He went to the carnival. He talked to an older man. He was a tenant. He lived in a two-story building. He was shitting bricks. He flung his head against the wall, he was bleeding all over his fore-head. He looked solemnly out of the window, he waited for them to come. He drove a big car. He was up all night.

Megan Biddle, Amber Cowan,
Jessica Jane Julius, and Sharyn O'Mara
Opening Reception: September 15, 6-9 pm
It is uncommon to find the flashy and performative medium of glass used to express silence or solitude, but the four artists here offer a convincing alternative to the noise and hyper-connectivity of digital culture.
-Alexander Rosenberg, GlassQuarterly, September, 2106
River House Arts and Contemporary Art Toledo are thrilled to present HUSH.ex, an exhibition of works in glass and mixed media by Megan Biddle, Amber Cowan, Jessica Jane Julius, and Sharyn O'Mara. The show opens with a public artists' reception on Thursday, September 15th and will be on view through October 22nd, running concurrently with Hot Glass/Cool Music, a month-long community celebration of glass and music in Toledo.
HUSH.ex is the second iteration of a body of work that debuted earlier this year at the Philadelphia Art Alliance. Working over the course of a year, the artists, who are also colleagues on the glass faculty at Tyler School of Art, Temple University, created visually and conceptually diverse works that include site-specific installations as well as individual sculptures and drawings. At the outset, the artists recognized commonalities in their practice: reflection (literal and figurative) and distillation. They began with a collective desire to see past the overstimulus of the digital age and to focus on the analog, narrow the vocabulary from color to gray scale, and capture the power of memory and reflection in interpretation of experience. And yet, there is nothing simplistic either in the ambition or scope of any of the artists' work.
This ambition and scope has not gone unnoticed. In the September 2016 edition of Glass Quarterly, Alexander Rosenberg writes. "It is uncommon to find the flashy and performative medium of glass used to express silence or solitude, but the four artists here offer a convincing alternative to the noise and hyper-connectivity of digital culture."
Megan Biddle is an interdisciplinary artist whose work orbits between sculpture, installation, drawing and video. Rooted in glass, she produces experiment and process driven work with an emphasis on materials and their distinct characteristics. As an observer of nature she responds to the elusive and subtle, reflecting on variations of time, cycles of growth and erosion. She has exhibited nationally and internationally and her work was acquired into the American Embassy's permanent collection in Riga, Latvia. She teaches in the Glass Program at Tyler School of Art of Temple University in Philadelphia,Pennsylvania. www.meganbiddle.com
Amber Cowan's sculptural glasswork is based around the use of recycled, up-cycled, and second-life glass, usually American pressed glass from the 1940's - 1980's. She uses the processes of flameworking, hot-sculpting and glassblowing to create large-scale sculptures that overwhelm the viewer with ornate abstraction and viral accrual. With an instinctive nature towards horror vacui, her pieces reference memory, domesticity and the loss of an industry through the re-use of common items from the aesthetic dustbin of American design. Her work is in the permanent collections of The RISD Museum, The Corning Museum of Glass and The Shanghai Museum of Glass. She lives in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where she teaches in the Glass Program at Tyler School of Art of Temple University. www.ambercowan.com
Jessica Jane Julius' objects, installations, and drawings reflect on the intangible environment - the multitude of surrounding elements in our environments that cannot be perceived through touch. Working in a wide variety of media including found, hot, and cold glass, flameworking, and rub-on dry transfer letters, her work attempts to make meaningful connections amidst the noise, to transform the intangible into tangible, and to create balance by applying chaos to order and order to chaos. Her work has been included in numerous national exhibitions including "Craft Spoken Here" at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. She lives in Philadelphia with her husband and son, and teaches in the Glass Program at Tyler School of Art of Temple University. www.jessicajjulius.com
Sharyn O'Mara is a mixed-media artist whose drawings, installations, and sculptures exist outside of traditional disciplinary boundaries. Originally educated as a designer, her keen interest in written and spoken language provides the conceptual framework for her studio practice. Working with a broad range of materials such as glass, dog hair, optical fiber, and typewriter tape, her work is conceptually driven and process intensive. She has exhibited in the US and abroad. Her work is included in public and private collections including Corning Museum of Glass and the Arkansas Arts Center. She is Associate Professor and Program Head of Glass at Tyler School of Art of Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where she lives with her husband, daughter, and three shepherds. www.sharynomara.com
Contemporary Art Toledo is a small collective of artists and arts professionals dedicated to the prospect of diversifying and challenging the local cultural landscape.

Colocalization of calcitonin gene-related peptide and somatostatin in pancreatic islet cells and inhibition of insulin secretion by calcitonin gene-related peptide in the rat
M. Fujimura, G. H. Greeley, M. B. Hancock, A. Alwmark, A. Santos, C. W. Cooper, K. J. Reumont, J. Ishizuka, J. C. Thompson
Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP)- and somatostatin (SRIF)-containing cells were identified by immunocytochemical techniques in pancreatic islet cells of the rat. CGRP-containing cells were found primarily in the peripheral portion of the pancreatic islets. In addition, CGRP-containing cells also contained somatostatin, which identifies the islet CGRP-containing cells as D cells. In the present study, we also tested the effect of CGRP on gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP; 10-9 M)- or cholecystokinin (CCK-8, 10-9 M)-stimulated release of insulin from isolated rat islets in vitro. At concentrations of 10-8-10-11 M, CGRP inhibited GRP- and CCK-8-stimulated release of insulin significantly when compared with GRP or CCK-8 alone. At the lowest concentration of CGRP (10-11 M), the inhibitory effect of CGRP on CCK-8-stimulated release of insulin was statistically significant (p < 0.05) and exceptionally potent (65-90% inhibition). We have also found that CGRP does not stimulate the release of SRIF from isolated islet cells. These findings suggest that CGRP may play a regulatory role in the release of insulin.

Thomas Haigley, an army doctor, who was stationed at Pearl Harbor during the attack on December 7, 1041.
75 years ago, December 7, 1941, Americans were stunned by a Japanese aerial attack on the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. More than 2,400 Americans were killed. The next day, December 8, the United States declared war on Japan, propelling America into World War II. We'll hear from two men who lived through it - one a boy who lived near the naval station, one a young man in Baltimore. And we hear from the son of a World War II soldier who has made it his mission to keep survivors' stories alive.
Brien Haigley's story was produced by Rich Polt of Acknowledge Media.
Paul Travers, son of a survivor of the Pearl Harbor attack, has compiled a book of oral histories titled Eyewitness to Infamy, an Oral History of Pearl Harbor, December 7th 1941.
Gil Sandler, the man behind WYPR's Baltimore Stories, is the author of Home Front Baltimore: An Album of Stories from World War II.
The memorial ceremony aboard the US Coast Guard Cutter Taney at noon is free and open to the public, at the Inner Harbor, Pier 5, 701 E Pratt Street.
In 1989, the environmental activist Bill McKibben wrote a bestseller called "The End of Nature." It painted an apocalyptic picture of the state of the planet. Nearly three decades later, we take a look at a book of essays by the generation that grew up after McKibben laid out his vision. "They're the first generation that learned the mantra Reduce, Reuse, Recycle from Sesame Street. They're the first generation to see really tangible evidence of changes in the environment from garbage islands floating to ice caps melting," says Susan Cohen, co-editor of "Coming of Age at the End of Nature: A Generation Faces Living on a Changed Planet." She joins us, along with two young writers who contributed essays to the book, James Orbesen and Emily Schosid.
Today is Stephanie Rawlings-Blake's last as mayor of Baltimore City. We take a look back at her 7-year tenure with two reporters who have covered her for years. From one of the worst snowstorms in city history to the unrest of April 2015 and the violent crime that surged afterwards, we discuss how Rawlings-Blake fared. Her accomplishments, her failures and her personal style, which some critics came to see as a liability. A report card on the mayor, with Baltimore Brew reporter Mark Reutter and former Baltimore Sun reporter Julie Scharper.
Nearly a dozen cities across the country issue municipal identification cards. They're meant for those who have trouble getting other forms of government-issued ID: Undocumented immigrants or the homeless, for example. But given how easy they are to obtain, how useful are such ID cards? It turns out that in some cities, banks, buses, and law enforcement accept municipal IDs. Could it happen in Baltimore? City Councilman Brandon Scott hopes so. He's sponsoring legislation to create a municipal ID here.

As Nollywood megastar Genevieve Nnaji turned 37 two days ago…so here's a look at the list of men the acting queen has been linked with since she became a household name.
The actress did confirm the two of them dated when she was asked if Kunle brought her into the entertainment industry.
She responded to the question saying, "Yes, Kunle Coker was actually my boyfriend, but he did not bring me into the industry".


Some of you know that I was a volunteer offensive football coach every year in the fall. I love the strategy of the game and it was one ways I had an opportunity of giving back to our community. Many kids have no other way to learn about winning in life other than through sports. I think everyone should know something about football if they are going to win the MLM game.
The school I coached at had only 300 students. We had enough kids turn out for football to field a team, but not enough to have an offensive and defensive platoon. Which means most of our kids played both offense and defense. Since we were at the small end of the AA spectrum we tended to play schools that were as much as twice our size.
The larger talent pool often gave our opponents a great advantage, at least on paper. To win our games a few things had to happen offensively. We needed to play mistake free football. We needed to mix our plays well to keep the defense on its heels. And, we had to control the time of possession. It was critical for us to be on the field offensively at least 65% of the time.
The reason we had to control the clock was because we played what is known as iron man football. Again, our kids had to play both offense and defense. In my opinion, playing offense requires less than half the energy that playing defense does. On offense you control where you are going and what you are doing. Offense is more fun than defense too. Scoring is not only fun, it energizes you. Not to mention, football heroes are almost always offensive players. As the song goes, "you have to be a football hero to get along with the beautiful girls." It's just a song, please don't write bad comments about me being a sexist slob.
On defense your whole game is about reaction and trying to stop the other guys from making you look bad. It requires lots of energy. When you want to stay fresh, you have to stay on offense. When you are playing bigger, faster, stronger schools, you have to keep their offense off the field to win. So what does that have to do with MLM?
Here are just a few offensive plays in MLM; Prospecting, Showing the plan, Sponsoring, Attending meetings and functions, Listening to conference calls, Using the product line, Being on autoship, Building a retail customer base, Investing in books and audios, Attending generic training seminars, Setting and achieving your goals and…Teaching (by example) those that look to you for leadership to do all of the above also.
These are all offensive plays because they give you energy, they build your business and your income, they are fun, and they keep you positive and headed down the field towards the goal line. They keep you focused and you have complete control of all these actions. When you control your actions, you control your numbers and therefore you control the outcome. In other words, you win!
Here are the defensive calls in MLM; Worrying about whether your downline is doing enough to build your income, Constantly calling the home office to solve all yours and your team's problems, Worrying about back-orders, Spending more than 20% of your time in management mode, Discussing problems with your team members, Deciding whether you should be on autoship or not, Deciding whether you are going to let this month's autoship go through, Deciding whether to go to this next meeting or function, Deciding whether or not to be on the next conference call, and…there are a bunch of other inaction's you can concern yourself with that just flat wear you out, but I think you get the idea.
The minute you begin to play defense in MLM is the minute you begin to kill your business. Once you start playing defense, doubt starts to creep in. You will begin to question whether you are with the right company, if MLM is viable or not, or whether it is all worth it. I promise you, every MLM opportunity that you have ever quit, that action was preceded by you switching from playing offensive to playing defensive.
No One Quits When They Are on Offense!
When ever you begin to have doubt creep in…ATTACK! When ever you begin to question your company's pay plan, product line or home office support…ATTACK! When ever you see your downline begin to lose enthusiasm…ATTACK! There are almost no problems in your MLM career that can't be solved by sponsoring a new person! Stay on offense. ATTACK, ATTACK, ATTACK!

An air conditioner is a major or home appliance, system, or mechanism designed to change the air temperature and humidity within an area (used for cooling and sometimes heating depending on the air properties at a given time). The cooling is typically done using a simple refrigeration cycle, but sometimes evaporation is used, commonly for comfort cooling in buildings and motor vehicles. In construction, a complete system of heating, ventilation and air conditioning is referred to as "HVAC".
Air conditioning can also be provided by a simple process called free cooling which uses pumps to circulate a coolant (typically water or a glycol mix) from a cold source, which in turn acts as a heat sink for the energy that is removed from the cooled space. Free cooling systems can have very high efficiencies, and are sometimes combined with seasonal thermal energy storage (STES) so the cold of winter can be used for summer air conditioning. Common storage media are deep aquifers or a natural underground rock mass accessed via a cluster of small-diameter, heat exchanger equipped boreholes. Some systems with small storage are hybrids, using free cooling early in the cooling season, and later employing a heat pump to chill the circulation coming from the storage. The heat pump is added-in because the temperature of the storage gradually increase during the cooling season, thereby declining in effectiveness. Free cooling and hybrid systems are mature technology.

Stanley and Matheson collaborated on a design that was ultimately passed by a majority vote in the House of Commons on December 15, 1964. Just after this, at 2:00 am, Matheson wrote to Stanley: "Your proposed flag has just now been approved by the Commons 163 to 78. Congratulations. I believe it is an excellent flag that will serve Canada well."

Joaquin Phoenix Is Open to 'Joker' Sequel, If It Happens
Joaquin Phoenix is open to another Joker movie in the future, but is unsure whether or not it will happen. Back in 2019, Joker exploded at the box office, grossing $1.074 billion and becoming the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all time. It was also critically acclaimed, earning 11 nominations at the Academy Awards, including a win for Phoenix for Best Actor. After the movie's monstrous release, talks of a sequel were naturally springing up. But don't hold your breath — according to Phoenix, there's no follow-up in development.
Speaking with The Playlist about his upcoming role in Mike Mills' C'mon C'mon, Phoenix addressed the rumors surrounding Joker 2. When asked if he would be returning to Gotham City as the complex villain, he replied: "I mean, I dunno. From when we were shooting, we started to —you know, uhh, this is an interesting guy. There are some things we could do with this guy and could [explore] further. But as to whether we actually will? I don't know."
So there you have it. The answer to whether or not Joker 2 will happen is a resounding "I dunno." Considering the staggering success of Joker, it does appear on the surface like a missed opportunity for Warner Bros. But there are a lot of factors that go into the decision to make a sequel. Considering the film industry would slam to a temporary halt not even 6 months after its release, the logistics of a Joker sequel may not have been possible at the time.
Who knows what the future holds for the Clown Prince of Crime? At the very least, we can feel assured that Phoenix would be up for another standalone Joker movie if the project arose.

Best Samsung phones: Galaxy S, Note and A compared
Britta O'Boyle · 28 October 2019
Samsung / Pocket-lint
The best SIM only deals in the January sales 2020: Unlimited data for £18/m on Three
Samsung has numerous smartphones within its portfolio, from the latest flagship models including the Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy S10 devices to older, and now more affordable, models like the Galaxy S9 and Note 9. There is also the sub-flagship Galaxy A range that starts around the £140 mark and hits around £669 for the top of the range model.
We've broken down the three core ranges - Galaxy S, Note, and A - and the devices available within each to help you choose the right Samsung device for you and your budget.
• The Samsung Galaxy S range is the company's main flagship smartphone range. Its models have a glass and metal waterproof design, along with lovely 19.5:9 aspect ratio dual-edge displays in the case if the newer models, and 18.5:9 in the older models.
• The Samsung Galaxy Note series is more expensive than the S range, but it adds S Pen functionality with the stylus built into a metal and glass design. The overall look has similar traits to the Galaxy S range including a dual-edge display.
• The Samsung Galaxy A is the sub-flagship range, sitting below the S range in terms of price, but borrowing several of its design features including full displays and under-screen fingerprint sensors in some models.
The Galaxy S10e, S10 and S10+ are the latest devices in the Galaxy S range, but the S9 and S9+ are still available to buy, as are the S8 and S8+, and at good prices too.
Dimensions: 142.2 x 69.9 x 7.9mm, 150g, IP68
Display: 5.8-inches, 2280 x 1080 (438ppi), flat Super AMOLED
Cameras: 16MP (f/2.2) + 12MP (f/1.5 to f/2.4, AF, OIS, 4K video), 10MP front (f/1.9, AF)
Storage: 128GB or 256GB, microSD support up to 512GB
Colours: Prism White, Prism Black, Prism Green, Prism Blue, Canary Yellow

The Samsung Galaxy S10e is the cheapest of the latest S10 range, offering a flat display and a physical fingerprint sensor, rather than a curved screen and under-display sensor. On the back, the S10e has a dual camera instead of triple.
It misses out on a couple of the latest features but the S10e still offers a new and fresh design, as well as a lovely build quality and the latest hardware.

The Samsung Galaxy S10 is a great device, featuring an all-new design and plenty of new features including an in-display fingerprint sensor and reverse wireless charging.
There's a triple camera on the rear and the 19.5:9 aspect ratio display is stunning, while the software experience is up there with the best.

Samsung Galaxy S10 vs Galaxy S9 vs Galaxy S8: Worth the upgrade?
Storage: 128GB, 512GB or 1TB, microSD support up to 512GB
The Samsung Galaxy S10+ features an outstanding display, brilliant sound quality and a great software experience packed full of features.
The new design is fabulous, it has a fun wide-angle camera and it offers strengths in all areas, delivering one of the best phones of 2019.

The Samsung Galaxy S10 5G follows a very similar design to the S10+ but it's larger, has a couple of extra cameras and most importantly, it is 5G-enabled.
It's not cheap, but it has a fantastic design, huge camera potential and if you're after a 5G Samsung experience, it's a great option though not your only one.

The Samsung Galaxy S9 is still an excellent smartphone, even though it isn't the latest anymore. It has a fantastic display, a lovely curved glass and metal design and it delivers a fluid performance.
The S9 has a smaller battery capacity than the S9+ and a single rear camera instead of dual, but it is also cheaper and cheaper than its successor too.
Samsung Galaxy S9 vs S9+: What's the difference?
Cameras: Dual 12MP (Dual Aperture, AF, Dual OIS, 4K video), 8MP front (f/1.7, AF)
Storage: 128GB/256GB, microSD support up to 400GB
The Samsung Galaxy S9+ has the same excellent design as the smaller S9, but it has dual rear cameras that deliver good low light shots and a 500mAh larger battery.
You also get a larger display that's only just shy of the Note series size but still manageable one-handed, even if not as large as the S10+ for the same footprint. The S9+ is cheaper than the S10+ though so well worth considering.
Samsung Galaxy S9+ review
Samsung Galaxy S9+ vs Note 9: What's the difference?
Dimensions: 148.9 x 68.1 x 8mm, 155g, IP68
Cameras: 12MP (f/1.7, AF, 4K video), 8MP front (f/1.7,
Colours: Midnight Black
The Samsung Galaxy S8 features a very similar design to the S9, including the 18.5:9 aspect ratio display. The position of the rear fingerprint sensor is a little more awkward on the S8 than the S9 but aside from this, the two devices look almost identical.
You'll of course get slightly older hardware on the S8 compared to the S9, but the S8 is still a very compelling device, especially at its lower price point.
Samsung Galaxy S9 vs S8: What's the difference?
Dimensions: 159.5, 73.4 x 8.1mm, 173g, IP68
Cameras: 12MP (f/1.7, AF, 4K video), 8MP front (f/1.7)
Like the smaller model, the Samsung Galaxy S8+ has a similar design to the S9+, though the S9+ offers the repositioned fingerprint sensor, as well as a dual rear camera.
The S8+ is still an excellent device though with a great camera, fabulous display and a gorgeous design, even if not as fresh as the S10. It might not have the latest hardware inside but it's still a powerful handset that's well worthy of its now lower price tag.
Samsung Galaxy S8+ vs S9+: What's the difference?
The latest models in the Galaxy Note range are the Note 10 and Note 10+ (and their 5G variants), all of which launched in August 2019. Don't ignore the Note 9 or Note 8 if you're interested in the Note though.
Dimensions: 151 x 71.8 x 7.9mm, 168g, IP68
Cameras: Triple 12MP + 16MP + 12MP (Dual Aperture, AF, Dual OIS, 4K video), 10MP front (f/2.2, AF)
Storage: 256GB, no microSD support
Colours: Aura Glow, Aura Black, Aura White, Aura Pink, Aura Red
The Samsung Galaxy Note 10 is one of several Note devices at the top of the Note range, offering a cleaner design than the S range with a vertical rear camera setup and a centralised punch hole front camera.
It's the first Note device to offer a smaller screen but it retains all the S Pen performance of the other models. A few compromises have been made, such as a lower resolution display and no microSD support, but the Note 10 is a great option for those that have always wanted a Note but may have found it too big.
Samsung Galaxy Note 10 review
Cameras: Quad 16MP + 12MP + 12MP + Depth (Dual Aperture, AF, Dual OIS, 4K video), 10MP front (f/2.2, AF)
Storage: 256GB/512GB, microSD support (up to 1TB)
Colours: Aura Glow, Aura Black, Aura White, Aura Blue
The Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ has the same design as the Note 10 but on a larger scale. It also ups the rear camera lenses to four, adding a depth sensor and it increases the screen resolution and size too.
The S Pen stylus and its new gesture controls are great, while the huge screen and neat punch hole camera are everything you'd hope for from the Note series. There's also smooth and speedy operation, making the Note 10+ a fabulous handset.
Samsung Galaxy Note 10 5G
The Samsung Galaxy Note 10 5G has the same design and hardware as the standard Note 10 but it has 5G connectivity.
You'll get the same camera performance, design and S Pen performance as the Note 10 4G but you'll get faster connectivity on the 5G model, as long as you live in a 5G area and have a 5G SIM.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ 5G offers the same design and specifications as the standard Note 10+ model, but it adds 5G connectivity.
Otherwise, you'll get the same camera, display, performance and S Pen connectivity as the standard model - just like you do with the smaller Note 10 5G compared to the standard Note 10.
Dimensions: 161.9 x 76.4 x 8.8 x mm, 201g, IP68
Colours: Midnight Black, Ocean Blue, Lavender Purple (UK), Metallic Copper (US)
Price (RRP): £799
The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 features a similar design and hardware to the Galaxy S9+ but with the addition of the S Pen stylus and a larger battery capacity.
It is an exceptional device with an excellent display, great low light camera performance and a fantastic battery life. Despite being cheaper than it was when it first launched, you might consider the S9+ if the S Pen isn't essential to you and you want a slightly cheaper device with newer hardware.
Samsung Galaxy Note 9 review
Samsung Galaxy Note 9 vs S9+: What's the difference?
Cameras: Dual 12MP (AF, OIS, 4K video), 8MP front (f/1.7, AF)
Colours: Midnight Black, Maple Gold
The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 has an almost identical design to the Note 9, aside from the repositioned fingerprint sensor. It is a brilliant device with a great camera performance, plenty of power and a wonderful display.
The Note 9 has a bigger battery, newer hardware and a Bluetooth-enabled S Pen for more features, but the Note 8 is a great option for those after a Note device but at a cheaper price.
Samsung Galaxy Note 8 vs Note 9: What's the difference?
The newest device in the Galaxy A range is the A90 5G, which sits at the top of the range, though Samsung also offers a number of other A models, which might be worth considering depending on what you want from your smartphone.
Dimensions: 164.8 x 76.4 x 8.4mm, 206g
Display: 6.7-inches, 2400 x 1080 (ppi), Super AMOLED
Cameras: Triple 48MP (f/2.0, AF, 4K video) + 5MP (f/2.2) + 8MP (f/2.2), 32MP front (f/2.0)
Storage: 128GB, microSD support up to 512GB
Colours: White, Black
The Samsung Galaxy A90 5G has a large display with a small waterdrop notch at the top and a triple vertical camera on the rear, neatly positioned in the top left corner.
There are some excellent features on board this device, not just a lovely design and build quality but a triple rear camera, an under-display fingerprint scanner and 5G connectivity.
Samsung Galaxy A90 5G initial review
Display: 6.7-inches, 2400 x 1080 (392ppi), Super AMOLED
Cameras: Rotating 48MP (f/2.0, AF, 4K video) + 8MP (f/2.2) + HQVGA (f/1.2)
Colours: Black, Gold, Silver
The Samsung Galaxy A80 has a huge, uninterrupted display thanks to the automatic slide up rotating camera. We weren't 100 per cent sold on the rotating mechanism's durability during our hands on, but the A80 is a lovely looking device with some great features.
There are some excellent specs under its hood, including plenty of RAM, a battery that will likely see you through the day, as well as an under-display fingerprint sensor, bringing lots of flagship features for less than the flagship Galaxy devices,
Samsung A80 initial review
Cameras: Triple rear 32MP (f/1.7, AF, 4K video) + 5MP (f/2.2) + 8MP (f/2.2), 32MP (f/1.9) front
Colours: Black, Blue, Coral, White
The Samsung Galaxy A70 doesn't have a full, uninterrupted display like the Galaxy A80, but it's not far off with only a small tear-drop notch at the top, resulting in a lovely design for the price.
It's not as powerful or as premium as the S10 range, but it offers decent features including an under-display fingerprint sensor, a huge battery capacity and microSD support - something the more expensive A80 doesn't offer. If you love the S10 range but you can't justify the £700+ price tag, the A70 is half the price with plenty to love.
Cameras: Triple rear 25MP (f/2.0, AF, FHD video) + 8MP (f/2.2) + 5MP (f/2.2), 25MP (f/2.0) front
Storage: 64GB, 128GB, microSD support up to 512GB
The Samsung Galaxy A50 offers many of the same features as the A70, including a tear-drop display and an under-screen fingerprint sensor, though it drops the display size and resolution, as well as the main camera resolution and front camera.
The A50 also drops in price too though and it still offers a good design, large display, big battery and microSD support, delivering plenty of desirable features for its sub-£350 price point.
Cameras: Dual rear 16MP (f/1.7, AF, FHD video) + 5MP (f/2.2), 25MP front (f/2.0)
The Samsung Galaxy A40 takes its design cues from the Galaxy A70 with a tear-drop notch at the top of the otherwise uninterrupted display. It's a smaller device, with a smaller screen and rather than a triple rear camera, it opts for a dual rear camera.
There is no under-display fingerprint sensor like the A70, with a rear-mounted physical sensor instead, but the design is nice, there is a decent-sized battery for the size and you get microSD support for extra storage up to 512GB.
Display: 5.8-inches, 1560 x 720 (296ppi), TFT LCD
Cameras: Dual rear 13MP (f/1.9, AF, FHD video) + 5MP (f/2.2), 8MP front (f/2.0)
The Samsung Galaxy A20e takes things down one step further compared to the A40, though it still offers a large display within its footprint for a good viewing experience and a dual rear camera.
The resolution is a little lower than the A40 and there is no Super AMOLED display with LCD in its place, but you still get decent-sized battery, microSD support and a good choice of colour options.
Cameras: 13MP (f/1.9, AF, FHD video), 5MP front (f/2.0)
Colours: Black, Blue
The Samsung Galaxy A10 is the cheapest A model device but it still has a huge display for its footprint, a large battery capacity that should easily see you through a day and then some and plenty of storage from the 512GB microSD support.
It doesn't have a fingerprint sensor and it only offers a single rear camera and single front camera, but if you're after a cheap Samsung device with a nice design and basic specifications, the Galaxy A10 might be the one for you.

EVGANIY DRAGUNOV, the engineer of the, probably, most famous sniper rifle in the world, directed the engineering of this compact carbine in the year 1977. Its main charachteristics are: CALIBER: 5'45x39mm-Soviet CAPACITY: 30 rounds BARREL LENGHT: 212 Millimeters WEIGHT EMPTY: 2,1 Kilograms The MA carbine features an upfolding buttstock; the lower receiver and the pistol grip are all in one with the totally plastic-made frame of the weapon. The upper part of the MA carbine and its sights are made in fiberglass-reinforced polyammide. The barrel is equipped with a flash hider; the fire selector switch is little, and it is placed on the right side of the weapon. Though the MA carbine never saw mass production, it was used as a basis for the currently produced (and currently issued to Russian Special Forces) SR-1 MA "Vikhr" sub-carbine, which main difference from the DRAGUNOV "MA" carbine is that the "Vikhr" feeds from 25-rounds translucid plastic magazines and fires the 9x39mm russian ammo, which is a necked-up version of the .7'62x39mm-Soviet cartridge.

Golf is full of techniques that you need to master. Strive to always swing your club properly. Be mindful of all of the things that make up a well-played game. The intention of this article is to give you some tips to make your game better.
By doing this, you will be better able to find the stance that is best for you. Finding a good stance is essential, but several variables, including body type, height, and gender can affect which stance is best. Once you find the right stance, you will immediately notice the benefit in your swing.
Walk and don't rent a golf cart. Walking the course will also help you become more familiar with the grounds and help you with your shots. Plus, you will stay warmed up and loose as you walk along, thus improving your golf game.
Try a toe-wiggling experiment to reveal any faults in your stance. If a golfer ready to swing is unable to wiggle their toes easily, then they are leaning in too much in the direction of the ball. For the best possible posture, it is important for the golfer to position himself in a way that allows for the feet to move just a little bit.
The position of your toes will help guide you towards finding proper posture for your swing. If your feet have freedom to move around without any effort or resistance, you're probably too far back from the ball. You should be able to lean toward the ball, with your feet able to move just a small amount. If your feet move too much, you are not doing it correctly.
Make sure that you maintain 100% of your focus on your next shot. Try to free your mind of past plays or hazards that lay ahead of you, and just focus on the moment at hand. Dwelling on past mistakes will only beget more of them, so let them go and move on.
Where possible, include strong players in your golf group so you can learn from their superior technique. Other golfers can help you out in many ways. Paying a pro for lessons is not the only way to improve your game. Focus on how they play, it can give you some new ideas. Also, just being around them may help you to have a better game.
All of your muscles, in particular trunk and legs, need to be involved in order to achieve a powerful swing. Use your legs to power your swing and swing your body in a whip-like motion.
Hone your golfing skills by perfecting your stance. Your stance is the number one determinant of ball flight distance. The ball will not go very far if you are not slouching the right amount.
Traveling is a beloved pastime of folks all around the world. It's a real treat to expand your horizons and experience different cultures. The advice that follows will help you plan your next trip to the best of your ability.
If you have a child, keep a color photo of him or her in your wallet in case they get lost. Even the thought of losing your child is one of the most terrifying experiences you can have. Sometimes these kinds of things happen. A simple picture of your child will make a difference, especially if you are going abroad and do not speak the language fluently enough to describe your child and they get lost from you.
Have some flexibility with your travel plans when choosing a destination. Even though it might be more fun to visit a certain vacation area you love, different travel experiences will create new memories and might even be more relaxing. In addition, choosing another destination can save you money if you are on a tight budget.
Pick the proper camera for your trip. If you are planning on backpacking, for example, a rechargeable battery may not be the answer. You want a camera you can turn off and on quickly and that focuses fast.
Try signing up for travel price watcher. This is offered by several websites and lets you input your most traveled destinations, and it keeps an eye on them for you. If a hotel or airfare drops by your designated amount, you'll get an email alert to notify you of the change. This saves you from checking the site daily.
Take clothespins when you travel. They can be a useful item when you go on a trip, even though they are not something someone thinks to bring with them.
When you try to find the best prices on your flights, be sure to check individual airline websites. While many discount sites have good rates, you may find better fares through the airline.
If you have a motorcycle license, this vehicle can be great for taking day trips or road trips. You can enjoy the open road, wind in your face and great gas mileage. It can be great fun to travel by motorcycle.
When packing light for a long trip, take a rain coat that has a soft lining. The weather never does what it is supposed to. A rain coat has a few other helpful uses as well. For example, it makes a great windbreaker during the coldest weather, yet a comfortable bath robe while you're staying at the hotel.
If you are going to be taking the red-eye, sleeping pills can help you to get some sleep. With all the unfamiliarity and noise of an aircraft, many people are unable to sleep on planes. Try a sleeping pill might help get you some rest on a long flight if you have trouble falling asleep otherwise. Importantly, wait on taking the pill until the flight has taken off; this keeps you mentally aware in case there are delays or changes in the schedule.
There is so much to learn about travel, including the risk of becoming a victim of crime. Crime is something that you want to minimize. This article has great ideas for reducing your vulnerability to crime while on the road.
If you want to be with your pet, find a travel destination where you can take it! Vacations for pet owners are becoming more and more popular, and some accommodations offer deals for pets and their families. These can include doggy day care, a cat spa, or a pet friendly cruise. Never be afraid to investigate travel options that are receptive to your pets.
When you are traveling, it is important to remember to be aware of your vital belongings at all times. Tuck bags and purses under your arm where it is close to your body. Avoid storing important things into the outside compartments, even if they are zippered. Thieves may access it in a crowd without you realizing it. You may also try sewing Velcro into the compartments or even your pockets. The loud ripping noise that it makes is quite a deterrent and thieves will usually move onto an easier target. Take these things into consideration when searching for a reliable travel bag.
If you have a motorcycle license, then a motorcycle is a great means to travel. The ride is enjoyable, it uses little gas and can move quickly. It can be awesome to travel this way.
Prior to booking a hotel, ask if renovations will be taking place during that time. You do not want to wake up to the sound of construction when vacationing. If you find out that a renovation is upcoming, either change the dates of your stay or go somewhere else.
Join travel-centric social websites and forums. You can learn a lot from fellow travelers. You can meet people and share experiences to help you avoid mistakes or miss seeing an important sight at your destination.
Pack a few cooking sheets if you have children. These sheets make a great flat surface for kids to color on or play cards. You can also bring magnets to play with on them.
Jet lag can cause problems during long flights. You can lessen the impact by sleeping more than usual a few days before you take off. Also, you should try to sleep during your flight as much as possible.
Go over your auto insurance policy prior to leaving home if you plan to rent a car during your trip. Your policy may already provide you with some of the coverage you will need to drive a rental car. In most cases, vehicle insurance policies will include some basic coverage for third party liability. Look carefully at the policy so you know what is, and is not, covered.
Vacations provide a time to relax, with a camping trip being an exciting option. To help ensure that your camping trip goes off without a hitch, read the following tips. You will find this information helpful on your next camping adventure!
When you're camping, always look for shelter prior to dark. Once the sky becomes dark, finding a good spot for your tent, necessary firewood and food preparation become near impossible. This is particularly the case for city slickers who are unaccustomed to darkness. To ensure you get your campsite operational arrive several hours before sunset.
Don't fear that you are overpacking for your kids on a camping trip. Camping can be dirty. Children, in particular, love to get their hands in the dirt. Children will get dirtier as the day goes on. You can't avoid the dirt, but some extra clothes will help out. Staying prepared is the best way to avoid issues on your trip.
A bandana or handkerchief can be a great addition to your camping equipment. That small piece of cloth could become a potholder, a bag, a blotter or a towel. It does not take much space in your bag and can save the day in many different situations.
You can use dryer lint to kindle your campfire. Around four weeks prior to camping, start keeping the lint that you clean from your dryer filter. Keep a plastic bag right next to the dryer and put the lint in there. When you are ready to leave on your trip, just pack your bag of lint for kindling.
Oranges are not only a healthy snack to take on a camping trip, but they are also versatile when used as a mosquito repellent. Once you finish your orange, save the peel. Rub it easily on all your exposed skin for a chemical-free bug repellent.
Camping's main idea is to generally live off of the land, however, you still need to be well-prepared. Packing a sleeping bag is pretty obvious, but take the extra precaution of including extra blankets too. They will provide you with extra warmth, should the temperatures plummet, as well as give you additional cushioning.
Are you the proud owner of your first tent and a beginner at the art of camping? Before you take it on your first trip, practice setting up your tent. This will help you to be prepared with the right equipment and skills to pitch your tent with ease. This will help you quickly pitch a tent before darkness falls at your campsite.
Bring all of the essentials that you will need while camping. Just neglecting to include a thing or two can completely ruin the outing. It is best to create a list a few weeks before your trip and to use it while packing. Some important things to put on the list are your tent, tarp, water, food, fire-starters, soap and sleeping bag.
Almost everyone enjoys traveling, but most do not find pleasure in preparing for the trip. Trying to plan exactly how your trip should go, and making sure you have everything you need, can be frustrating. Read the following tips for help planning a trip and doing everything possible to enjoy it.
Leave most of your items of value at home. If you decide to bring valuables, you could lose them, or they could even be stolen.
Bring a good digital camera for the vacation that you are taking. For example, a camera with a rechargeable battery might not be suited for backpacking. In almost all cases, you will want a digital camera that can be turned on and focused very quickly so that you don't miss the shot.
When your travels bring you to a local airport, look at their website to see which airlines offer flight service to the airport. One of the main reasons for this is charter flights, which often service flights through smaller airports but aren't listed. You can find some sweet deals this way.
Research before booking. Search websites for user reviews about your destinations. Ask other people that have traveled there. When you do thorough research you can make good plans and avoid unpleasant surprises.
If you're going to be staying at a hotel, pack a door stopper. Many countries do not offer the security you need when staying in a hotel room. If you do not have a door that is equipped with a chain or deadbolt, use a wedge doorstop before retiring at night.
Look at airline websites when making a search for low rates. Sometimes they have better prices than the discount travel websites.
Put identifying information inside your bags, as well as on the outside. It's easy for a luggage tag to fall of if it's hanging off your luggage. If your luggage gets lost and lacks any tags, try putting some identifying information inside it so that it may be found and given back to you quickly.
Carry a business card or book of matches from your hotel with you everywhere you go. If you get lost in a strange city, this small thing can be extremely useful when asking a local or taxi driver for directions. This is especially useful if you don't speak the language fluently.
Travel can be used as a way of educating your family. Exposing your children to the experiences of developing countries can be very rewarding as long as you take safety precautions and travel wisely. You can gain understanding and tolerance for different cultures while abroad.
Determine if you will need a visa to visit your destination. It is a good idea to apply for a visa months before you have to travel, as the processing times for visas can be quite long. Don't forget that without the right visa, you will not be able to enter some countries.
Traveling for fun or business is exciting. If you want to make your trip better, you can. Having the right information can open many doors for you, even those unexpected ones. There are tips in this article to help you plan for a great trip.
Make a list of what you need to pack. Put together a list of things you must take with you. You can start doing this a couple of months out, but should be finished about a week before your trip. This will keep you away from chaos no matter how late you pack.
If you are required to have certain vaccinations in the country you are traveling to, make sure you have the certificate verifying you have been vaccinated. This is important when you are entering and exiting a country, and may even come up as you travel through the country in question. You'll need a certificate of the vaccination to let authorities know you've had the appropriate medical work.
If you travel to a foreign city, keep a lookout for people pretending to be police or law enforcement. Never give them your original passport as you may never see it again. Walk with them if they want to transport you to a nearby office. Always use common sense and never accept a ride from a stranger.
When deciding on a camera to take on your trip, consider your needs. For example, a camera with a rechargeable battery might not be suited for backpacking. You will probably prefer a camera able to be engaged at a moment's notice in order to catch all of the great shots.
Keep travel essentials stored in the same place of your home. You don't want to spend your valuable time looking around your house for toiletries, charges or pillows. You want to get yourself a plastic bin so that you can organize all your travel stuff. A container that you can keep under your bed can keep thing stored away but ready to be take out for your next trip.
You should be aware of the insurance policies available from your credit card company and their particular policies involving foreign countries. For instance, you may already be covered for cancelled flights that are charged to your credit card. It pays to conduct some research before leaving.
Travel is an excellent way to educate your family members on the ways of the world. As long as you're safe, going to developing countries can educate your kids on how other nations work. You can gain understanding and tolerance for different cultures while abroad.
If you know you will be storing your car at the airport, call ahead and reserve parking. Booking this ahead of time will save you a lot of money. Consider a taxi if you live near the airport.
Do you plan on staying in a hotel? If so, there are many things you must plan out in advance in order to avoid a horrible hotel experience. You must pack your bags, gas up your car and purchase plane tickets. You will also have to reserve a hotel room. Read this article for tips that will help you out.
Before you pick out your hotel you're going to reserve a spot at, check out review sites online like TripAdvisor. Reviews allow you to read about recent experiences at a hotel. Consider what they say to help you make your decision.
Online travel sites like Expedia or Orbitz can help you get the best price for rooms at the hotel you would like to stay at. Are you a member of a certain hotel's membership program? If so, make sure you put this information into the travel site. Also, as an added bonus, you may get discounts from other companies such as AAA or AARP.
If you belong to any organizations, check with them for travel deals. Some organizations offer discounts on hotels to their members. Many people forget to do this and miss out on saving a sizable amount of money. This can help you to save some cash, especially if you're going to be staying for a few nights. This can mean a lot of savings over a full week stay.
Never book a hotel room before seeking out online deals. The reservation clerk won't offer these details to you over the phone. It is your responsibility to scour the Internet for these savings. RueLaLaTravel, SniqueAway and Jetsetter are all good Internet sites to check with.
When you arrive at your hotel, thoroughly check your room previous to unpacking. Is the room clean and free from mildew or mold? Do the toilet, sink and shower work properly? Do you have enough towels and linens? If you have any problem with the room, report it immediatlely to have it fixed as soon as possible.
Be aware of when you can check into your room. Many people forget the time, then they show up early and the room isn't ready yet. If you might be arriving before the check-in time, ask the hotel whether it's okay to come.
Plan your trip as far in advance as you can to ensure best rates. If you book one or two months in advance, you can often receive a discount. Even high end hotels can offer you a substantial savings this way.
Don't make the assumption that all hotels will welcome your pet. Ask the hotel if pets are allowed, no matter what their site says. Get the term "pet-friendly" defined, as well. The hotel may not allow large dogs or certain types of pets.
Join a frequent customer program if you stay at the same hotel chain a lot. They provide you with points for every stay. They can amount to show tickets, free nights, spa deals, hotel restaurants discounts and much more.

Kulbhushan Jadhav's Release: PIL filed in Delhi High Court
Tehelka Web Desk
In another development in Kulbhushan Jadhav case, a petition was filed in Delhi High Court on April 28 calling for legal help and release of Jadhav.
The plea also sought Delhi High Court's directive to place the matter before International Court.
According to the plea, an Indian citizen was detained in an illegal manner. He is awarded death sentence by a Pakistani military court without giving him an opportunity of a fair trial, it added.
Rahul Sharma, a social activist who approached the court said that Pakistan has not made public copies of the chargesheet.
Pakistan has slapped seven serious charges against him Jadhav. The charges included espionage and waging war against Pakistan.
So far, Islamabad has rejected India's requests for consular access to Jadhav.
The petition stated that the Indian government must challenge the violations of international law by the Pakistan government by taking the matter to the International Court of Justice. While this was so, Major General G D Bakshi while expressing apprehension that Jadhav might have already been killed by the neighbouring country through "insane torture" appealed
Last week, retired Major General G D Bakshi while expressing apprehension that Jadhav might have already been killed by the neighbouring country through "insane torture" had appealed to the government to file a habeas corpus in Pakistan courts to find out if Kulbhushan Jadhav is still alive.
"He was kidnapped, taken to Balochistan and tortured insanely to make him confess to all sorts of things which he did not do," he said in a two-day convention on Nationalism and Patriotism organised by Veterans India," he said.
Indian External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj had also warned Islamabad that the issue will damage the bilateral ties with New Delhi.
Jadhav is accused of being a spy and was arrested in March last year in the restive Balochistan province.

The results of 9 April 1917 were to be overshadowed by the attritional nature of the rest of the battle, as the offensive continued due to the demands of coalition warfare. As with most logistical or combat support elements, the work of the RAMC continued. Whether the "routine" casualties of trench holding or the peaks following attacks [or counter-attacks], the main burden continued to fall on the bearer companies. Whilst within a division it was sometimes possible to rotate brigades out of the line, with the bearer divisions of the three field ambulances effectively merged an equivalent relief was impossible. The process of evacuation was only able to continue as the structure of a field ambulance allowed an internal rotation of suitable men within units without any disruption of command and control.
As the fighting continued the various units of the BEF rotated in and out of the line. As their divisions heading to the rear areas, for many a period of rest beckoned, but a field ambulance had to continue providing medical support to its division. In the operation orders relating to moves out of the line, we see the field ambulances being temporarily affiliated back to brigades for administrative purposes, but also being ordered to set up Divisional Rest Stations. Through this facility, men could recover from minor wounds or illness, but stay within the division, desirable both for elements of esprit de corps but also for maintaining the strength of the division.
The larger distances between the frontline and Arras gave more tactical freedom in the placement of medical posts, more of the general principles expressed in RAMC 1911 could be followed; posts appear in hollows, adjacent to roads, but the slow extension of the chain of evacuation required more collecting and relay posts, eventually supplemented with vehicle loading posts.As the offensive stalled these posts took on an air of permanence, the location of many now being marked with Commonwealth War Graves Commission [CWGC] cemeteries. In these the periods of occupancy can be clearly identified by the burials, the association of cemeteries with medical facilities is an unfortunately obvious one, but this is more commonly associated with dressing stations and CCSs. At these forward posts staff applied a triage sieve preventing casualties unlikely to survive passing further down the chain. This was made easier as the various collecting and relay posts sat outside the regimental family and could make a less emotional, more realistic appreciation of the casualty's chances.
A record of operations carried out at No 19 CCS allows for an examination of the type of casualty making it through the whole chain of evacuation to surgery. On 11 April 1917 Captain Donaldson performed 18 operations, all gunshot wounds; 15 leg, 1 shoulder and 1 buttock injury.All of these were evacuated before the end of the day. Faced with the high number of casualties of an offensive the finite resources of the AMS had to be directed towards those with most chance of success. This principle was applied from the first field ambulance post through to the CCS.
In the post war Babtie Committee this was deemed to be one of the great successes of the field ambulance, TNA: WO 32/11395.
Vehicle loading posts were originally staffed by a RAMC NCO purely responsible for the loading of the ambulance cars and accounting for the equipment. By 28 April 1917 both the 14th and 56th Divisions have more substantial posts.
The Great War Digital product "Linesman" provides translation from contemporary trench maps to modern day IGN maps. Allowing for the inherent inaccuracy of mapping it is possible to identify the approximate position of wartime locations.
A number of cemeteries are named after dressing stations. St Mary's ADS near Loos is but one example, with cemetery registers often identify nearby medical facilities.
 An order is issued in October 1917 that "Moribund Cases are not to be moved from Field Ambulance." The definition of these cases seems to have been left to the reader. Standing Orders of ADMS 56th Division in TNA: WO 95/2038.
Most of these have been destroyed, the following is taken from examination of part of a small sample kept within TNA: MH106.
TNA: WO 95/414 No 19 CCS.
I have now officially been told my dissertation has passed, and therefore I have successfully completed my MA in British First World War Studies!
I might look at carving my dissertation up and posting it at some point in the future, but my basic findings were flavourable towards the field ambulances. The structure and role developed after the South Africa war was suitable, [though stretched, tested and sometimes creaking] for the field ambulance's role of bridging the gap between point of wounding and surgery.

Reliability and Validity of Persian Version of Performance-oriented Mobility Assessment (POMA) in Community-dwelling Iranian Older Adults: Psychometric Properties
چکیده: (2195 مشاهده)
Objectives: An appropriate and accurate assessment tool is needed to predict the risk of falling in older adults. This study aimed at investigating the construct validity, factor analysis, internal consistency, test-retest and inter-rater reliability, and ceiling/floor effects of the Persian version of Performance-oriented Mobility Assessment (POMA) in community-dwelling elderly.
Methods: One hundred and forty-five older adults aged 65 years and older (mean age: 73.68 years) were recruited from daily care centers of Tehran by convenience sampling method. Timed Up and Go (TUG) test and Berg Balance Scale (BBS) were used to investigate the construct validity of the POMA. Test-retest (7-14 days with interval) and inter-rater reliability of the gait and balance subscales and the total score of the POMA were determined by Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC2,1).
Results: A moderate to very high correlation (r=0.67-0.9, P≤0.05) was found between the total score of the POMA and BBS, Fullerton Advanced Balance Scale, step test (right and left), TUG, Dynamic Gait index, and walking speed, whereas the correlation between the total score of the POMA and step length was poor (r=0.39, P≤0.05). The results of confirmatory factor analysis showed a poor goodness-of-fit of POMA with the two-factor model (balance and gait) in community-dwelling elderly. Internal consistency (Cronbachchr('39')s alpha=0.94), test-retest reliability (ICC2,1)=0.97), as well as inter-rater reliability (ICC2,1)=0.92) of the POMA were excellent. The results revealed no floor effect for the total score of the POMA; however, its ceiling effect was 3.44%.
Discussion: The Persian version of POMA showed excellent psychometric properties for evaluating different aspects of balance in community-dwelling elderly.

Our Official PC Partner NVIDIA® is bringing real-time ray tracing and NVIDIA Adaptive Shading to PC fans.
"Targets are up, boys. Let's kick this off!"
Infinity Ward has released the first detailed look at how real-time ray tracing, powered by NVIDIA GeForce RTX, is coming to Modern Warfare on PC, further taking advantage of Modern Warfare's new graphics engine capabilities for incredible visuals.
In this new video, we're able to see Modern Warfare's use of real-time ray-traced shadows for photo-realistic experiences on PC.
"From the beginning with Modern Warfare, we've set out to create an immersive game experience with state-of-the-art game technology. We're excited to work with NVIDIA on the PC version of the game to bring real-time ray tracing and more to PC fans," said Ashton Williams, Senior Communications Manager at Infinity Ward. "Combined with the efforts from our engineering and visual teams, these features help add further levels of realism within our environments that mimic the real world."
What is Ray Tracing (PC)?
Ray tracing simulates the physical behavior of light to bring real-time, cinematic-quality rendering to even the most visually intense games.
What is NVIDIA Adaptive Shading?
For NVIDIA GeForce RTX gamers on PC, NVIDIA Adaptive Shading adjusts the rate at which portions of the screen are shaded, meaning the GPU has less work to do, boosting overall performance.

With approximately 90,000 fans who have cleared the turnstiles as of 1am tonight, Insomniac, the producer of Electric Daisy Carnival, Las Vegas asked fans to calmly head to the stands of the Las Vegas Motor Speedway as high-winds posed a possible threat to fan safety.
At approximately 1am. Insomniac, in conjunction with public safety officials, made the decision to temporarily halt the show while an evaluation on wind conditions was made.
As winds are being assessed a final decision on the status of the production is pending.
Insomniac in consultation with public safety officials, made the decision that due to extremely high wind conditions, the crowd would be cleared away from the stage areas. The decision was made out of an abundance of caution and with fan safety in mind.
Fans inside the festival were allowed to stay until 5:30 a.m. and enjoy music from temporary sound systems located on the infield grass of the stadium.
Earlier tonight, entry of new fans was stopped and inbound traffic is being managed by the Nevada Highway Patrol and the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. As of 1 a.m. there were approximately 90,000 fans that had cleared the turnstiles into the venue.
Electric Daisy Carnival is set to continue as scheduled on Sunday, June 10, 2012, with gates opening at 7 p.m. until 5:30 a.m.
