DUW 3001—the next generation motor
It took around one and half million minutes of work, shortly after the arrival of the NOMOS swing system it became the next homemade sensation: NOMOS automatic caliber DUW 3001—flatter, finer, more elegant than everything that had come before. With this first caliber with neomatik technology, NOMOS Glashütte has set a new standard for automatic calibers.
This caliber could hide itself from view behind a stack of nine postage stamps. At 3.2 millimeters in height, DUW 3001 is thinner than everything else in the world of watchmaking that self-winds and is produced in large-scale series—and yet it is still highly precise. How was this even made possible? With some Glashütte style sleight of hand, you could say. Virtually every component was assembled between the bottom plate and the three-quarter plate—in a space which on average is only one millimeter high.
One particularly challenging aspect of constructing such a thin caliber is the necessitation of a thinner main spring. It has—due to it consisting of less material—a weaker tensile force value. To make up for this deficit the caliber's efficiency was increased: to (for experts an almost unbelievable figure) 94.2 percent. There is effectively only 5.8 percent energy loss due to friction—normally this figure is around 20 percent. Despite a reduced design height DUW 3001 offers the very best caliber performance.
One more upside: DUW 3001 is equipped with a very special heart, the now renowned NOMOS swing system. The in-house built escapement, with which NOMOS Glashütte broke the Swiss monopoly in 2014, ensures the highest rate of accuracy: During the chronometer testing the NOMOS calibers fitted with the proprietary swing system achieved excellent results from the get go.
This caliber also won't be beaten when it comes to efficiency—since the rotor (that oscillating component in the shape of a large piece of cake) provides the exact amount of energy to the barrel needed for the movement to do its job. Once it is fully wound, the NOMOS rotor brake comes into play, which protects the whole automatic mechanism and the barrel and reduces wear to a minimum.
And it's only natural that this motor features a succession of famous Glashütte characteristics, which are recognizable in watches born of this noble heritage: three-quarter plate, Glashütte ribbing, Glashütte sunburst, tempered blue screws—and so on.

Before the Kardashian name became synonymous with reality television, it was associated with the late Robert Kardashian Sr., who was one of the most prominent lawyers in America. While the family has since become one of the biggest brands in the world, Kim Kardashian has opened up about her desires to return to the foundation laid by the family's patriarch.
On Wednesday, Vogue released its May cover story featuring Kim Kardashian in which she revealed that she's studying to become a lawyer with a four-year apprenticeship with a law firm in San Francisco, and plans on taking the bar exam by 2022. She also lays out her plans to further pursue criminal justice reform. Kardashian first made political headlines after her meeting with President Trump, which led to the release of Alice Marie Johnson from prison. Seeing this "really good result" made Kim want to take learning the intricacies of the law more seriously. "I never in a million years thought we would get to the point of getting laws passed. That was really a turning point for me, she said.
She went on to state that during her meeting with Trump, she was backed by several accomplished attorneys. However, she would like to be more informed so that she can have a greater impact.
Ever in support of his wife, Kanye West and Vogue's Jonathan Van Meter engaged in an email exchange where he voiced his confidence in Kim's newest passion.
"She's always had it in her," West wrote. West then went on to say that Kim's many facets—like her focus on criminal justice reform—does not make her a "misunderstood" starlet, rather it adds to her dynamic as a woman.
"What is there not to get about her?" Kanye responded. "She's Kim Kardashian West. She's exactly who she is."
Kim also opened about Kanye in the piece. When talking about 'Ye's mental-health issues, Kim was careful not to "speak for" Kanye. Instead, she explained the situation with the facts that she's gathered as his partner.
"It is an emotional process, for sure. Right now everything is really calm. But we can definitely feel episodes coming, and we know how to handle them," Kim said about Kanye's bipolar disorder.
"For him, being on medication is not really an option, because it just changes who he is. Traveling a lot does set it off, so he doesn't travel as much as he used to," she said. "But honestly, I never want to speak for him, because I am not in his mind. But I think some of the hurtful things that I read online...What is she doing? She's not stopping him...Like it's my fault if he does or says something that they don't agree with? That's my husband. I share every opinion that I have and let him know when I think something's wrong."

Christmas is a year long event at Kathy Botham's
Sally Smith
editorial@pdgmedia.ca
There's nothing like Christmas for Kathy Botham. Walk in her front door, turn slightly left and Christmas is there in front of you. Every hour, every day, 365 days a year in her own Christmas room.
She loves it, and everyone who knows Botham knows her delight in the season. She says it's the magic and the memories, the warmth of the season, and family ties.
Santa Claus is very present in his red and white iconic suit. Botham has many figures. How many? She doesn't know, has never counted. But the jolly old guy comes in the traditional form of St. Nick dressed in a long red coat with ermine trim, or Santa with his sleeves rolled up working in the toy shop. Sometimes he's pulling moves with a hockey stick, sometimes he's glancing skyward with a faraway look in his eye about to launch a model plane.
He's there in all forms – large, small, always dressed in his red fur-trimmed suit with a big black belt around his tubby tummy, long black boots, a jaunty red toque, white gloves and his ever-present bag of toys.
Santa's not just present in her living room, he holds a presence in all the rooms of her house – in pictures, in throws, in stockings, in children's books. And as the season draws closer, Botham pulls out her Christmas sweaters. She has a lot of them. "There are not enough days to wear them all," she laughs.
Botham, 57, is in her element as she chats about her passion. But the Christmas room is just part of it; when she turned 30, she knew she wanted to have a child, and decided to start keeping the Sears Wish Book catalogue as well. So, today, at her house, she has 25 of the well-loved catalogues in a stack in her Christmas room, dog-eared, well-handled, long anticipated. Holding one or two of them, it's clear the quality has changed over the years – but not what the catalogues promise.
"I used to look forward to them even before they came into the house," Botham remembers. When it came, and Botham came in from school, her Mom would nod at the mail saying, "it's here."
She also remembers going right to the toy pages, never anywhere else, spending hours and days going through the selection, making a choice, changing her mind, and making another.
Every year she was allowed to order a Barbie doll and a baby doll. She also remembers, with a laugh, that she had to share with her brother "who never looked at dolls," but she liked his Hot Wheels, too. And she has never not ordered from the catalogue; she had a child-like superstition that if she forgot she wouldn't get a Wish Book the next year.
Sears produced the last catalogue in 2016; Botham says she carried through with her annual ritual of ordering, and ordered a sweater. Looking back a little longingly, she wishes she had kept some of the first catalogues from when she was a child. She's made a promise to herself that if she ever sees some of the earlier ones in antique or collectible shops, she'll pick them up.
What is it about the season that makes her want to see it, and feel it, every day, all year long. It's the memories, she says, the wanting to save part of a really good childhood, "being blessed with the best Christmases," the feeling when you saw Santa, especially the anticipation of Christmas.
And did you ever hear St. Nick? "I did! I saw Rudolph's nose out my grandmother's bedroom window," she crows. To some extent, Botham's memories about Christmas centre around her dad, Hal.
Hal Botham became known as 'The Voice of the Valley' and most of his career was spent at CJET Smiths Falls. He rarely said 'no' to anyone who needed an emcee for an event. Botham remembers, as a child, that her dad was very good friends with Santa and every Christmas Santa would go to the radio station "to read letters with my dad."
Maybe that was where the magic began…
Today Botham has followed in her father's footsteps. You can hear her on a regular basis as a community host at YourTV in Smiths Falls, Cable 10, HD Cable 700.

GoPro Hero4 Session is a compact action camera that packs impressive capturing capability in a small package. Described by its maker as its 'smallest, lightest, and most convenient camera yet,' the action cam shows off a waterproof design and delivers 1440p videos and 8MP stills, while also offering comfortable one-button control.
Shaped like a cube, GoPro Hero4 Session addresses one issues that some people have with GoPro cameras – separate waterproof housing. Waterproofing is built into the snapper without need for a separate housing, thus enhancing its portability significantly.

By default, GoPro Hero4 Session records 1080p videos at a stunning 60 frames per second, but it can record up to 1920 x 1080 pixels at 30 fps. There are several more options for video recording, including 720p at 100 fps.
In addition to enabling you capture stunning, lifelike videos, the camera also take breathtaking 8 megapixels still shots. Burst photos can be taken at 10 frames per second and Time Lapse shots at intervals ranging from 0.5 to 60 seconds.
The Hero4 Session offers one-button control to enable you set the ball rolling with a single press of the shutter button for automatic Time Lapse photos or video capturing, while a second press halts recording and powers off the cam. Superview and Auto Low Light contribute to improve capturing quality.
GoPro Hero4 Session comes with built-in battery and a dual-mic system, which helps ensure great audio when recording videos. Professional-quality video output is further enhanced by Protune, while HiLight Tag allows you mark special moments in your recordings for easier access.
One cool feature on the Hero4 Session is Auto Image Rotation, which enables you use the camera without issues even when it is mounted upside down. The action cam is compatible with all GoPro mounts and features Bluetooth and Wi-Fi for seamless sharing.
GoPro Hero4 Session is not yet available in Nigeria. When available, you can buy the action cam at leading online stores in the country. GoPro Hero4 Session Price in Nigeria is ranges from N80,000 to N150,000 depending on your location in Nigeria.

Olancha
Olancha (formerly, Olanche) is a census designated place in Inyo County of the U.S. state of California. Olancha is located on U.S. Route 395 in California, 37 miles (60 km) south-southeast of Independence, at an elevation of 3658 feet (1115 m). As of the 2010 census, the population was 192, up from 134 at the 2000 census. Located in the Owens Valley next to the now mostly dry Owens Lake, the arid settlement is home to a major bottled water plant for Crystal Geyser Natural Alpine Spring Water. Geography Olancha is an unincorporated community located in the Owens Valley on the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada mountain range at the elevation of 3,650 feet (1,110 m), in Inyo County, California. It is on US Highway 395 near the junction of State Route 190, approximately 200 miles (320 km) due north of Los Angeles. Owens Lake – a dry saline lakebed – lies to the northeast of Olancha. Olancha Creek flows from the slopes of nearby Olancha Peak (12,123 ft), passing near the town of Olancha, and finally towards Owens Lake. To the east of town lie some sand dunes, as well as a hot spring known as "Dirty Socks". History Olancha was established by Minnard Farley, who came to the area in 1860 and discovered silver ore in the nearby Coso Range. The name "Olancha" is believed to be derived from the nearby Yaudanche tribe. For processing the ore, he built a stamp mill just south of Olancha Creek. The remains of a stone wall from this mill still exists and has been designated as a California Historical Site (marker #796). The first post office at Olancha opened in 1870. On August 11, 1969 Manson Family members Charles "Tex" Watson and Dianne "Snake" Lake settled down in Olancha two days after Watson had stabbed Sharon Tate to death. Here, Watson bought a newspaper revealing that it still was a mystery who committed the Manson murders and confessed to Lake: "I killed her, Charley (Manson) ordered me to do so". This fact was witnessed by Lake during the Watson trial in 1971. Lake was shortly put into custody in Independence after complaints from Olancha inhabitants for swimming nude. After a few weeks the two of them left Olancha for the final Manson hideout in Death Valley.

Preach, Michelle: 5 Things We Want to Hear From the First Lady
The Root, News Analysis, Keli Goff, NewAmericaMedia, 11/10/13
"Sharpton thinks Obama should take more cues from his wife, Michelle. He still thinks about the time he bumped into her at a recent Chicago fund-raiser. He claims the conversation went like this.
In less than three months, President Barack Obama will celebrate the anniversary of being sworn in for his second term as president. Although many conservatives are looking ahead with anticipation to the end of his final term in office, many liberals are looking ahead with the hope that in his final years as commander in chief, the president might begin pushing a more aggressively progressive agenda.
Then there are those of us who are hoping that in the president's final term, we might get to see the Michelle Obama we haven't seen since the early days of the 2008 presidential campaign.
Though she now enjoys an approval rating much higher than her husband's (his is currently at an all-time low, while hers consistently hovers in the 60s), that was not the case on the campaign trail five years ago.
Voters had trouble connecting with the nearly 6-foot-tall lawyer-turned-hospital executive, who campaigned in her power suits. When she made a clumsily worded remark about being proud of her country following her husband's early primary win, her image took a hit, and the makeover of Michelle Obama began in earnest. Gone were the power suits, replaced by the pastel cardigans and floral prints we are all used to seeing today. And gone was the woman the Rev. Al Sharpton once described in a New York magazine article as follows:
'How you doing, Mrs. Obama?'
She's tall, and looked down at him. 'I'd do a lot better if we had your endorsement.'
Sharpton tried to play dumb. 'What do you mean?'
'We need your endorsement. I'm just telling you straight out: We need your endorsement. What are you going to do?'
Sharpton didn't know what to say. 'I'm like, 'Uh, well, duh.' I mean, she was like a sister back in Brownsville, where I grew up!'"
Americans haven't gotten a glimpse of that Michelle Obama in nearly five years. So here is a list of what some of us Michelle Obama fans would like to hear from her now that she no longer has to worry about her public image as a super-strong, super-fierce black woman who might cost her husband votes.
1. "A lot of the criticism of my husband is racist."
One of the reasons President Obama was able to win election twice is the ease with which he downplayed the role of racism during his campaigns. During the 2008 election, he tended to dismiss the fact that he might lose votes because of his race, treating it as no more worth considering than losing votes for any number of superficial reasons, like his large ears he often jokes about.
But we know better. We know that while not all of the criticism directed at the president is racially motivated, some of it is. We are not the only ones. His wife knows it, too. But so far she's been too politically savvy to really go there out loud. But now that they are in their final term, it would be refreshing if she did.
2. "I care about issues besides healthy eating, gardening and water."
A first lady's platform is often what defines her legacy. (Think Nancy Reagan and "Just say no!") Although childhood obesity is a serious issue, as is healthy drinking water, there are other issues that matter and about which the first lady could make a difference. Some of them are controversial. For instance, President Obama made waves in 2008 when he explained that part of why he supports reproductive rights is that "I've got two daughters. 9 years old and 6 years old. I am going to teach them first of all about values and morals. But if they make a mistake, I don't want them punished with a baby."
Michelle Obama is also on the record as supporting reproductive rights in recent years as Planned Parenthood has been under attack, but she has waded into the issue only tepidly. With African-American and poor women more likely to have unplanned pregnancies and out-of-wedlock births and to raise families in poverty—not to mention the high AIDS rates among black Americans—her voice could go a long way toward making a difference on issues of reproductive and sexual health.
If only she'd use it more.
3. "I want to see a black woman on the Supreme Court."
It was widely reported that former first lady Laura Bush played a role in convincing her husband to consider nominating a woman, attorney Harriet Miers, to the Supreme Court. Though Miers ended up withdrawing from consideration, the first lady's private advocacy on her behalf was a reminder of the often quiet power that a first lady can wield.
There have been two African-American male Supreme Court justices (Thurgood Marshall and now Clarence Thomas), and Sonia Sotomayor became the court's first Latina justice. But so far there has not been a black female justice. It would be nice to see one (who is qualified, of course) before the first black president leaves office. (Here is a helpful list of possible black female nominees for the president and his team to reference in case they need ideas.) Here's hoping the first lady uses her behind-the-scenes influence the same way the previous first lady tried to use hers.
4. "Sometimes I'm an angry black woman, and I have every right to be."
During an interview with Gayle King about a controversial book about her marriage, the first lady responded, "I guess it's just more interesting to imagine this conflicted situation here. That's been an image people have tried to paint of me since the day Barack announced, that I'm some kind of angry black woman."
Well, guess what; Michelle Obama has more than a few reasons to be angry—from the National Rifle Association pulling her children into a political fight, to endless lies and racially charged language aimed at her and her family. Is Michelle Obama a black female stereotype? Hardly. But does she have a right to occasionally get angry, as all of us do? Absolutely.
5. "Here's what I really think of … "
Everybody from Ted Cruz to Sarah Palin to Bill Clinton. There are so many Barack Obama critics for whom we all know Michelle Obama has some choice words behind closed doors. Although she will likely save the really juicy stuff for her memoirs, it would be nice to see a teaser in her final year in the White House. If nothing else, could she at least tell us why she really rolled her eyes at John Boehner?

Dean Knill shares vibrant single "Butterflies & Warning Signs"
Posted by Fred Bambridge on July 24, 2020
Wothing based singer-songwriter Dean Knill earlier on this month shared his vibrant single "Butterflies & Warning Signs", which is his second release of the year following on from "I loved You More" - which is currently sitting at an impressive 10k streams, not bad for a new artist!
He's been singing for around a decade already, but this year has been a different one for the 24 year old as he's finally got round to releasing some of his own tunes.
Speaking about his songwriting Dean says - "I have always struggled to share how I am feeling, I don't even take that well to compliments. I tend to write a lot about personal experiences and how people treat me as this is how I paint the best picture for the listener, so watch your step people"
"Butterflies & Warning Signs" has some slick electronic vibes right from the off with there being loads of pop sensibilities laced all over the new cut. His vocals are sounding so polished off and smooth, if you heard this track for the first time you'd think this pop-star sells out massive venues - and let's be honest by the sounds of it he can!
As "Butterflies & Warning Signs" gets going some airy backing vocals are introduced to the song, here they give the track loads more atmosphere giving you the feeling that this was written for summer time in a field with your mates, with plenty of emotions and heart-on-your-sleeve lyrics throughout.
Dean reminds me a lot of Zak Abel with how soulful his voice can get, especially when the music gets turned down and it's just him singing when the track slows down for those brief few seconds.
The song is a whirlwind of pop and electronics all blended up well and served to you in just over three minutes. There's so much to admire with Dean Knill, he sounds like he has what it takes to be the next big vocalist in the UK, and if you can't wait for more, good news as there's a live version, acoustic version and a remix still to come!

DEMOCRATS TO GET SLATE ON BALLOT
By DAN UHLINGER; Courant Staff Writer
SOUTH WINDSOR -- — After missing a state deadline for filing its list of candidates, the town Democratic Party has submitted more than enough petition signatures to place its slate on the November ballot.
"As of the last phone call this morning, we had exactly 250 signatures and 50 more were on their way," said Jacqueline Smith, the party chairwoman.
Gretchen Bickford, the assistant town clerk, said Monday that she forwarded the party's list of candidates to the secretary of the state's office in Hartford.
Other than the party-supported candidates, no other Democrats have petitioned to run in the coming local elections. Candidates have until 4 p.m. Wednesday to apply for a place on the ballot. If any Democratic or Republican candidate -- other than those backed by each party -- submits a petition by the Wednesday deadline, a primary would be held.
Smith said Monday that a miscommunication between her and a new secretary was to blame for the party's failure to file its list on time.
The party missed the deadline last month for submitting its endorsement of Democrats running for town offices in the November elections. As a result, each of the 20 unofficially endorsed candidates had to apply with the town clerk's office to run in the fall campaign.
"I was upset at first with the newspaper stories, but now it's kind of funny the way it was blown out of proportion," Smith said.
"As far as I know, it's a done deed now. We've filed more [signatures] than we needed. We didn't want to take any chance," Smith said, hoping her party never misses another deadline.
The chairwoman said the Republicans would never blow a deadline.
"They're too perfect," she said sarcastically. "They would have a thousand reasons for what went wrong, if it happened to them. They would never just say we goofed."
"I just think we've worked hard to plan ahead and avoid any problems like this," said Mark Lillis, the local GOP chairman.
"I was always nervous about running up a deadline. Luckily, they had another chance after missing the first deadline," he said.

Sadly, here in Brazil we don´t have options to build these fruits online. Only "normal" fruits (or ;)ange, pear, apple...) are available.
Sure we have, but unhappyness they aren´t comercialized.
Of the 20 most consumed fruits here in Brazil, only three are native to our country: pineapple, guava and passion fruit. Even jabuticaba gets off this list, although it is comercialized normally.
All the rest of our fruits is treated as exotic and comercialized at high prices, when found... In fact, is relatively easy to find lichia, rambutan, mangosten and others, but grumixamas, pitangatubas, saputás and all the others... There´s no signal.
Could be some are hard to grow/find/propagate/takes too long to produce or maybe they just don't handle transporting to well?
It's the same for everyplace, even if they can grow most things, they still want to import from someplace else. I think it's cheapest to buy from local vendors, where the fruits is actually grown and harvested, small village markets, side/street stalls, where not so many tourist travel.Where ever they're tourist, it's always going to be more.
Again, I think most Eugenia fruit species are very perishable, so maybe that's why they aren't sold very often. But they do grow natively, so I guess if you know how the tree looks like, you can probably go harvest some your self when in season.
Yes, Thao, all that you wrote is true in some degree.
Some aren´t hard to grow/find/propagate, don´t takes too long to produce and can handle transporting. And you could comercialize frozen pulp of the ones that can´t handle transporting. The vast majority of brazilians don´t know the native fruits, and I think the actual situation is a result of colonization and imported culture. So, the native fruits remained almost forgotten for a long time.
To say the truth, actually there is a crescent interest in the native fruits here, and a few are being produced or at least collected from the nature, as the uvaia for example. Brazil is a big country, and it also makes difficult to find/ to know all the fruits. Regionally it´s easier, but still, is hard to find them.
If you think situation is bad in Brazil you should try finding some of the very easy to find products in Brazil in the USA, like ice creams made of acai, cupuacu, mangaba, nance, soursop, etc. Or juices and wines of jaboticaba, cupucacu, and cashew, which are very easy to find in Brazil. It seems to me that in Brazil there is very good selection of processed products from lesser known fruits, but very hard to get them fresh, unless you go to Belem or Bahia, and even then very few vendors have them. Selection of fresh fruits in big cities like Rio de Janeiro are, like you say, very disappointing.
Yes, they will ship you fresh FL Mango.
Here's a link for buying amazing organic stone fruits and many varieties including Pluots and Apriums.
Really nice selection........a bit pricey.
Yeah, that's how I feel about the fruit I can purchase online and have shipped from Florida.
I think it's the name of the game for online fruit retailers but when your dreaming of a fruit you have no other way to taste , it can be worth that premium. Frog Hollow is expensive even farmers market direct $3.90 pd. for stone fruits and around $6 for Cherries last season. It is good fruit though I'll give them that, and their dried fruit is amazing as well.
$10 a pound for citrus is pricey? I would call it astronomically expensive, and that doesn't include shipping? Maybe i read it wrong and the prices are in pesos not dollars?
Anyways I posted the link for their Pluots, Apricot , Peaches, and Cherries which are I'm sure expensive as well but top notch. This Farm has blown up in popularity the last few years with a permanent retail outlet in the Ferry building in San Francisco , and now a Cafe.
I think I'd rather pay $10 a pd for first week of harvest Apricots than any Citrus or Avocado.
Thanks to those little fruit flies i can't even send a little gift box of fruits to relatives on the mainland. Only nuked fruits can be sent, and only certain fruits for which they have the nuking protocol set up.
PS the only fruits on frog hollow website right now are citrus and apples...not very exciting. Not exciting enough to pay $10 a pound for in my opinion.
I have been known to give in to understatement on occasion.
Yeah, I don't understand the loopy protocol . Rambutan can be shipped from HI but not Lychee or Longan?
Pineapples and Papaya but nothing else , not expecting consistency but a rational explanation from the agency in control would be nice. So many things I wish you could ship but mainly Breadfruit and Ackee.
No way those brokered Citrus or Apples are worth $5 a pound to me. I was posting the link because soon enough they will have all those Zaiger stone fruit varieties that others on the board seem excited about and don't have access to the fruit yet for the most part. I figured it is better to post early so people can suss it out , the season on good Apricot and Cherry go quick.
Irradiatied longan is being shipped out of Hawaii and sold on the mainland. There is a protocol also for lychee, but they aren't shipped just because there is enough demand in Hawaii to consume all that is produced. Unsprouted coconuts can be mailed without any treatment.
I found a local source for Hawaiian Longan and Lychee! So thankful.
The above mentioned pricey stone fruits from frog swallow like Apricots are available online right now.
I am new here, and would love to get my hands on icecream beans, do you know who sells them? I live in AZ but I am originally from El Salvador in Central America, so I am familiar with most of the fruit you guys mention on these post, we may call them by a different name. Any help will be appreciated! Thanks!
any one know who sells fresh green sapote online ?
Hi guys,I've several kiwano ready to be harvested...I already eaten a lot!pm me if interested.
I am wondering, if you found any? I am very curious to try some too.
zone 6b, Southeast Michigan. But I have a greenhouse.
There may be other sources in the future.
Does anyone know where I'd be able to buy white mangoes online?

Oppo A83 is a budget smartphone as it is priced at just 1,399 Yuan which coverts to around Rs. 13,500.
In recent times, Oppo has launched a number of smartphones in the A series including the A79, A75 and A75s. The Chinese phone maker has quietly launched another smartphone called Oppo A83 in China.
Oppo A83 is a budget smartphone as it is priced at just 1,399 Yuan which coverts to around Rs. 13,500. It is available in two color options; Black and Champagne Gold. While the handset is already up for pre-order in China, there is no news on the international availability. Going by Oppo's past patter, we don't think the smartphone will make its way to other markets.
Coming to the specifications, the Oppo A83 sports a 5.7-inch Full HD+ display with a screen resolution of 1,440×720 pixels and an aspect ratio of 18:9. In addition, the display supports multi-touch functionality. Under the hood, the smartphone is powered by an octa-core processor that is clocked at 2.5GHz. Unfortunately, the company has not specified the name of the chipset.
The Oppo A83 also offers 4GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage, which can be further expanded up to 128GB with a microSD card.
In terms of optics, the smartphone is equipped with a 13MP rear-facing primary camera with LED flash, Auto Focus, and 720p recording capabilities. Up front, there is an 8MP camera for shooting selfies and video calls. It also comes with facial recognition feature.
Oppo A83 packs a 3,180mAh battery to keep the lights on, and it runs on Android 7.1.1 Nougat with Oppo's own ColorOS 3.2 on top.
Connectivity suite of the Oppo A83 offers 4G VoLTE support, Wi-Fi 802.11 ac, Bluetooth 4.2, USB Type-C, GPS, GLONASS and dual-SIM support. While, sensors onboard the smartphone include Ambient light, distance and Gravity sensors. The handset measures 150.5×73.1×7.7 mm and weighs about 143 grams.
On the downside, the Oppo A83 does not feature a fingerprint scanner. Since the front side of the phone has a full screen design, there is no space for a fingerprint scanner. However, it is unclear why Oppo has not included one at the back.

Liberty trustees split over request for more cash
BRETT NUCKLES, ThisWeek Community News
May 28, 2013 at 12:01 AM Jun 1, 2013 at 11:04 PM
Two Liberty Township trustees say they want some state funding for local governments restored.
But the third trustee says the township has all the cash it needs.
At their May 20 meeting, trustees Curt Sybert and Mary Carducci voted to sign on to a letter to Ohio Sen. Kris Jordan (R-Powell) asking for the restoration of some of the $3 billion in cuts to the Local Government Fund made by Gov. John Kasich and the Ohio legislature two years ago.
Previously, the state had returned 3.68 percent of its general revenue to municipalities through the fund. That percentage was cut to 1.69 percent.
Local Government Fund revenue for Liberty Township dropped from $40,000 in 2010 to $31,700 in 2011, and further to $21,600 in 2012. For 2013, it's estimated to come in below $20,000. In 2010, dollars from the fund accounted for 4 percent of the township's general fund revenue.
Sybert and Carducci voted to sign an open letter requesting that about half of the eliminated funding be restored, particularly since state officials anticipate a $2 billion surplus by the end of fiscal year 2013. Under the proposal, the state would send 2.52 percent of overall revenues to the Local Government Fund.
"They've made some promises that local government will get some money floated down to them from what the state has taken away, in recognizing the hardships we've been put under," Sybert said. "Our goal is to try to remind them that we were told that in the past, and we hope the issue could be revisited."
Carducci said the township could use extra funds to pay for much-needed infrastructure costs such as road repairs.
"Something's going to have to give," she said. "I'd rather see that money come back to Liberty Township."
Trustee Melanie Leneghan opted not to sign the letter. She said Liberty Township has more than enough money for current operations and added asking for more revenue burdens Ohio taxpayers.
"The state has a budget, and if we ask for more money, that means your state income tax has to go up," she said. "Something has to give."
Township Administrator Dave Anderson said Leneghan's claim is off base; under the proposal, the current level of tax revenue would be distributed differently. Ohio taxpayers wouldn't have to pay more, he said.
Anderson said the state reneged on a pact with local governments by slashing the fund, which was established in the 1930s as part of a revenue-sharing agreement between the state and local municipalities.
But it's far from the biggest source of lost revenue for Liberty Township. The estate tax, eliminated entirely in 2011, constituted 34 percent of general-fund revenue for the township.
In 2010, it amounted to about $371,300 for the township in taxes on inherited property.
Liberty Township has seen some major budget woes recently.
Earlier this spring, it cut the fire department staff by 20 percent after voters shot down a levy in fall 2012.
Liberty Township's letter to Jordan comes in response to another open letter to state legislators requesting a boost to the Local Government Fund, backed by several organizations representing local governments, including the County Commissioners Association of Ohio, the Ohio Township Association, the Ohio Municipal League and the Ohio Parks & Recreation Association.

Death Comes to Pemberley
In Death Comes to Pemberley, P. D. James masterfully recreates the world of Jane Austen in Pride and Prejudice, and combines it with the excitement and suspense of brilliantly-crafted crime fiction.
P. D. James was a bestselling and internationally acclaimed crime writer. She was the creator of Adam Dalgliesh and Cordelia Gray, and their long and successful series of mysteries. Her works include Cover Her Face (1962), An Unsuitable Job for a Woman (1972), Innocent Blood (1980), Children of Men (1992), and the Jane Austen-inspired Death Comes to Pemberley (2011). James was born in Oxford in 1920. She won awards for crime writing in Britain, America, Italy and Scandinavia, including the Mystery Writers of America Grandmaster Award. She received honorary degrees from seven British universities, was awarded an OBE in 1983 and created a life peer in 1991. In 1997 she was elected President of the Society of Authors, and stood down from this role in 2013.
James's latest mystery is set in 1803 and picks up where Jane Austen's beloved Pride and Prejudice left off: Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet are married and have twin boys. The family lives at Pemberley, an elegant old mansion where they often entertain people of consequence and hold lavish balls. But a murder in the woods on the property interferes with their otherwise idyllic lives and shrouds Pemberley in mystery and fear. Rosalyn Landor turns in an excellent performance, with well-paced narration that captures the posh atmosphere of James's (and Austen's) world. Landor also creates unique voices for the books many characters, modulating her voice for males and lending working-class dialect to servants. Highly recommended for fans of both Austen and James. A Knopf hardcover. (Dec.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
Ladieeees and gentlemen, in this corner, in Empire-waist trunks, is Miss Jane Austen (aka the Chawton Nonpareil); and in the opposite corner, in the tiara, Miss P.D. James (aka the Duchess James of Holland Park). Initially, the contestants are evenly matched in this sequel to Pride and Prejudice that starts off with the briskly told story of Lydia Wickham's melodramatic, unexpected, and totally characteristic arrival at the stately doors of Pemberley; this alerts residents to the discovery of her husband on the grounds kneeling over a dead body. Thus death comes to a richly detailed Pemberley, and thus is set in motion the investigation and trial that propel the remainder of the book. When there is an autopsy (and at Pemberley!), it seems clear that this is definitely James's fight to win or to lose. Before it's all over, a gaggle of Janeites have to be forcibly ejected from the arena. Verdict A draw. Both Austen and James survive the affray to be able to fight again. Nonrabid fans of both will find enjoyment in this heartfelt, idiosyncratic valentine from the one writer to the other, although they might also be able to agree that it shows neither author at the very top of her game.

Radio's Howard Stern Leaps To Satellite in $500 Million Deal
Raunchy Host's 2006 Move
Could Boost New Medium;
A Small Company's Big Bet
By Sarah McBride and Joe FlintStaff Reporters of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
Oct. 7, 2004 12:01 am ET
Controversial radio host Howard Stern, who built his career in good part by pushing raunchy content, signed a five-year, $500 million deal to leap from conventional airwaves to satellite radio -- a potentially huge boost for the nascent, and unregulated, medium.
Mr. Stern, an iconic radio figure and one of the nation's most popular radio hosts, plans a 2006 defection to tiny Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. after his contract with Viacom Inc.'s Infinity Broadcasting ends in 15 months.

Chapel of Uncommon Prayers is an installation of unique books and book objects, using hand shapes and gloves, created with traditional bookbinding techniques used in a non-traditional way, The installation explores my relationship to prayer and devotion in a world that presents increasingly difficult questions.
The subjects of the books range from the personal to the political, from our desire for shelter, nourishment and love to broader themes of war and peace. The design of the installation suggests a cloister suitable for meditation, a feeling i hoped to enhance by painting the walls of the gallery in rich, saturated colors.

Global growth outlook spooks crude oil

Fossil fuels running out of steam
Rupee nears short-term hurdles
Global bond yields on an uptrend

Globally, coal and oil are being discouraged, while renewable energy is getting cheaper
In a world that is increasingly demanding to be carbon-free, what kind of a future do fossil fuel companies such as Coal India, ONGC and NTPC, have? Clearly, a difficult one.
Fossil fuels are under threat, mainly because of two entwined global mega trends.
One, coal and oil are being made expensive to produce and use, and two, renewable energy is being enabled to become cheaper. The voices calling for rapid de-carbonisation of the world are not only becoming shriller, but are also being taken seriously. De-carbonisation is synonymous with stopping the use of fossil fuels.
Costly fossils
The biggest cost-push to fossil fuels will come from 'carbon pricing.' The call to penalise those who spew carbon dioxide into the atmosphere is gaining support. A few countries levy a 'carbon tax', the emitter pays per tonne of CO2 released — Sweden, Finland and Chile are examples. The European Union has a 'cap-and-trade' system, where emission rights are auctioned and those who can't help emitting more have to purchase the rights from the market.
Today, the price of carbon is very low —$7 per tonne in 2014, on average — but the call is to raise it, to deter emissions. On June 23, the Canfin-Grandjean Commission of the French government called for a 'carbon corridor', raising the price of carbon to $15-20 per tonne of CO2 by 2020, and raising it further to $60-80 by 2030-35. While this is only a recommendation to the French government, it illustrates the Western thinking on carbon pricing.
Secondly, financial institutions the world over are under pressure not to fund fossil fuel projects and if they do, to make their loans dear. In May, Norway pulled its sovereign fund out of all coal and oil stocks, joining a growing list of get-outers, which includes World Council of Churches, Rockefeller Brothers Fund, Total, AXA and the Stanford and Syracuse universities.
In the coming years, debt funds too would be under similar pressure. The Canfin-Grandjean Commission has recommended that France should lobby for lenders to price 'climate risk' in loans. It wants lenders to "measure greenhouse gas emissions induced by their lending activities."
Financiers will look at 'natural capital' used, putting a numerical value on the pollution, degradation and depletion of natural resources — something currently not done. The Natural Capital Coalition, (a body whose members include Coca Cola, Adidas, the University of Cambridge and the big consultancy firms, Deloitte, EY and PwC) says that in 2009, the cost of natural capital was $7.3 trillion.
When these costs are accounted for, fossil fuel-related activities will become very dear. Alongside, there is pressure on governments to stop subsidising fossil fuels. In May, the IMF came out with a shocking estimate that global energy subsidies amount to $5.3 trillion (India $277 billion).
So, if you add up higher cost of finance, penalty for carbon and removal of subsidies, the picture is clear: fossil fuels will be very expensive.
Unlike fossil fuel, renewable energy is receiving a major push. All the moneys coming from fossil fuel divestments will go towards funding green projects.
Cheaper renewables
In May, some economists and scientists in the UK started the 'Global Apollo Programme', which seeks to mobilise $150 billion of public funds for research into renewables, so that renewable energy is cheaper than fossil energy in 10 years.
Private sector-funded research into renewable energy is anyway happening and we have seen, for example, the prices of solar energy fall drastically (roughly, halved to ₹6 a kWhr in four years, in India.)
Clearly, the fossil fuel industry's fortunes are sagging and the industry does not seem to be prepared. Global oil companies, who took a few steps towards wind and solar in 2000-2010, are in rollback mode. The Western media is full of reports about companies like BP, Chevron and Shell stalling investments in renewable energy.
In India, the response of companies like ONGC, Coal India and NTPC to the global mood against fossil fuels is limited to setting up a few solar plants, but that is hardly likely to protect their core business, which is under attack.
The problem with renewables is fickle Nature — wind and solar do not produce power evenly though the day; this is a headache for grid managers. The solution to that problem — storage —was costly. But now, improvements in storage technology are making renewables look viable. Renewable energy looks set to eat into fossil fuels' business and take it over in the longer run.
Those who laugh at the notion should remind themselves of Western Union Telegraph Company in the late nineteenth century — which similarly laughed at the notion of a "child's toy" demolishing its business — a toy which we today know as the 'telephone.'

October 20, 2019 Melkon Charchoglyan
Georgia's inaugural Tsinandali Festival is not merely a celebration of classical music. It's also an attempt to bring together musicians in one orchestra from countries with fractious relations.
Backstage is a jungle: sharp cries and flat grunts rise through the air while the musicians tune their instruments. In a matter of minutes this orchestra will have to play together harmoniously but right now everyone is in their own discordant little world. Two Turkish brothers, who not long ago were adjusting each other's shirt collars, exchange a few nervous words of encouragement; a Georgian cellist stands in a corner, arms akimbo and eyes uneasy. Treats are laid out on a table nearby – dried apricots, nuts – but go untouched. Slowly it dawns on the performers that the rain has stopped: the pitter-patter they can hear outside is in fact the audience filtering into the concert hall.
In many respects the inaugural Tsinandali Festival should be a disaster waiting to happen. Most of the 80 musicians in its flagship orchestra have never performed professionally; many are teenagers. Hailing from seven countries, including Georgia, Turkey, Armenia and Azerbaijan, they can struggle to communicate: during rehearsals in August they often resorted to broken English and simple gestures. And if history is to be believed, some are sworn enemies.
But once on stage, politics and national identity dissolve as the notes rise. This is the crux of the event, which kicked off in September in Georgia's Tsinandali estate. Whereas most music galas look to simply put on a good show, this festival is about building regional ties through the universal language of music, sending a message of unity to the musicians' countries. The manifesto: to create a Pan-Caucasian Youth Orchestra – which will go on to become a global touring fixture – and an annual, two-week festival that will put Georgia at the centre of the classical-music map.
"What we are doing here is unique," says Avi Shoshani, the festival's artistic co-director. "You can have an orchestra in the US with musicians from Alaska, Missouri and New York but it won't carry the same message and won't create the same special feeling as seeing a musician from Turkey next to one from Armenia. It shows that people, after all, are brothers."
Shoshani is a veteran of the music industry. He's been the secretary-general of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra for 45 years and is the co-founder of the Verbier Music Festival, one of the most prestigious classical events in Europe. Still, even with his experience, he admits that creating something on a similar scale, in such a remote place as Tsinandali, sounded like a fantasy when Georgian telecoms tycoon George Ramishvili – the festival's founder and financier – invited him to join the team three years ago.
Tsinandali, in Georgia's Kakheti region, sits in a lush mountainous landscape that's renowned primarily for its historic wineries. The trees look like broccoli and mist is ever-present, giving everything a tropical feel. The area is also impoverished and difficult to access: the capital, Tbilisi, is a tortuous two hours away by car. To the untrained eye this is the worst-possible location for a classical-music festival. But then again, the place's history makes it ideal for the purpose.
In 19th-century imperial Russia, Tsinandali was the home of Prince Alexander Chavchavadze. He entertained guests from across Europe, raised Georgia's esteem in the salons of St Petersburg and kickstarted the country's winemaking industry. Under him, Tsinandali was a multicultural realm where one could hear French, Russian, Armenian and English.
In contrast today's Georgia, and the Caucasus as a whole, are a prickly world of enmity catalysed by the collapse of the USSR. Could Tsinandali be the fount of culture and unity that it once was? Through music, Ramishvili believes it might. A softly spoken man who carries himself like a king in exile, he talks with confidence and aloofness. "I am a businessman but I am also part of society," he says. "And in the Caucasus there are many misunderstandings."
In 2012 Ramishvili's company, the Silk Road Group, leased and restored the prince's 18th-century palace (it is now the most visited building in Georgia) and revived the surrounding winemaking industry. To create the infrastructure for the festival he then added two hotels – one for guests, one for musicians – an indoor concert hall and an outdoor amphitheatre. The latter sits above the old wine cellars which, to Shoshani's delight and surprise, naturally amplify sound.
While the works were underway, a team of conductors and music directors scoured the Caucasus and the former USSR for talent. (The orchestra, though billed as Pan-Caucasian, also includes people from countries such as Ukraine, as any dialogue in the Caucasus will naturally dovetail into former-Soviet relationships.) The musicians who were selected are, to say the least, a varied bunch.
For most of them this is the first taste of life on the road, living in close quarters with other musicians – and egos. During rehearsals they are focused and professional; it's easy to forget that many are still teenagers. But once the conductor dismisses them, the feeling is that of a school break. Back at their digs, a young quartet plays table tennis; an older couple share a cigarette on the veranda; some play chess; many, as young people often do, simply play on their phones.
"The atmosphere is more like a family. Instead of having [cliques] from each country we're slowly blending together," says 22-year-old Georgian-Canadian violinist Maia Siradze. "I heard about Tsinandali and knew I had to be here. I grew up in Canada but I feel much more Georgian. In rehearsals I was starting to cry – it's beautiful, there is so much energy and commitment."
Siradze sits behind second violin Galina Korinets, an energetic tattoo-covered 24-year-old Ukrainian who is one of the more experienced musicians in the orchestra – evident by the way her peers glance at her during rehearsals, looking for cues or reassurance. While most kids are preoccupied with the talent-spotters in the crowd, to Korinets it's the human interactions at this event that are far more important. "Some people make friends, they start playing together. Some people even fall in love – which we already have here."
Whether all or none of the musicians will go on to become global sensations, no one can say. One thing, however, is a given: by the end of the two-week festival they will have improved more than in a year back at home. This is thanks to the eminent directors, teachers and musicians who have been training them since early August. Chief among them is conductor Gianandrea Noseda: the Italian maestro is fabled in the classical music world and holds posts from St Petersburg to Tel Aviv. As with many of those involved in the festival, it's the political angle and the chance to build a new orchestra that has piqued his interest.
Although he is working with youngsters, Noseda believes that he must treat them as world-class professionals if they are to become just that. This means opening the festival with Gustav Mahler's complex, 80-minute-long second symphony. "In a way, Mahler's second symphony is a monstrosity: five movements, a big orchestra, big chorus and two soloists. But this is the first edition of the festival, when an orchestra is being born, so it's better to make a statement, to show [the musicians] that this is the Everest," he says. "It will give them the impression of how important commitment is to reaching the highest quality."
As the musicians take their seats on a chilly September evening, the audience members shuffle in – and they're as varied as the orchestra. There's the crème de la crème of Tbilisi society; foreign dignitaries (including the ceo of the London Symphony Orchestra); renowned musicians; and Orthodox priests.
The performance, long though it is, is over in one breath – and to those who have been following the orchestra's progress since early August, it is as much a relief as a joy. Shrieks of a new sort fill backstage: everyone is delighted. Roses are flying and Noseda paces in a white dressing gown, looking more like an exhausted athlete than a conductor.
At the celebratory dinner later that night, a young woman who declares herself unmusical asks a friend whether the performance was objectively good. The answer she receives is positive – but that's irrelevant. The concert is about much more than just prowess. It doesn't so much matter how the orchestra played together as that they did play together. Oliver Zeffman, a young conductor who worked with the musicians early on, puts it very simply. "The two clarinets, for example: one is Armenian, one is Azeri. They get on really well," he says. "Because they make music together."
Conflict in the Caucasus
History of discord
Though conflict in the Caucasus can be traced back to time immemorial, today's string of misunderstandings goes back to the 19th century, when the land was divided between the Russian empire in the north and the Ottoman empire in the south.
As the two giants disintegrated during the First World War, animosity between the various ethnicities in the region reached a climax, leading to the Armenian genocide perpetrated by Ottoman Turkey. Enforced stability followed under the Soviet Union but, when this giant also met its demise in 1991, smaller states began to emerge, bustling for recognition. The outcomes, to name a few, were: the Georgian Civil War; the ongoing Nagorno-Karabakh conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan; and two wars between Chechnya and Russia.

Registration & Networking Breakfast
"Be greedy when others are fearful."
An Outlook on Emerging Markets
Emerging markets have suffered a downturn in 2018. The threat and then reality of a trade war, accompanied by a strengthening dollar, have contributed to a bear market. Currencies have weakened in the vast majority of developing nations. Many market participants have been holding off investing amid the recent volatility. However, in his presentation, Mark Mobius provides an outlook on emerging markets that is far from gloomy. The recent crisis has created great opportunities: Valuations are low and devaluated currencies offer attractive prices for overseas investors. At the same time emerging and frontier markets continue to be the fastest-growing economies in the world. Cutting-edge innovation today is often coming from the developing world. Especially many small and mid-cap companies offer an above average growth potential for active investors.

Ornate spa complex
Along with the Gellért, these are the most popular (and expensive) baths in town, jam-packed with tourists in high season and over Christmas. Planned from 1868, completed in 1913, the spa is both a neo-Baroque landmark and feat of water engineering, Vilmos Zsigmondy siting the outlets on the northern flank of Városliget park close to Budapest Zoo.
About Buda Castle
Nowadays, Buda Castle has been converted from the residence-styled and furnished Palace it was. It now houses two of the most important things in the nation of Hungary, The Hungarian National Gallery, a collection of some of the most famous and important artwork to have come out of Hungary, and the Budapest History Museum.
The hill was named after bishop Gellért, who was thrown to death from the hill by pagans in the fight against Christianity in 1046. His statue, which faces Elizabeth Bridge and holds a cross, can be seen from many parts of Pest. At the top of the hill is the Citadel, a fortress built by the Habsburgs after defeating Hungary's War of Independence in 1849.
Largest square
Laid out in 1896 to mark the thousandth anniversary of Hungary, Heroes' Square (Hősök tere) is the largest and most impressive square of the city. Located at the end of Andrássy Avenue and next to City Park, Heroes' Square is one of the most visited sights in Budapest.
Budapest Eye
The Budapest Eye's gondolas are half-closed so that riders can enjoy unobstructed vistas from their compartment while remaining safely contained. Even those who do not ride the Budapest Eye can still enjoy it, as the Ferris wheel's LED-light display will provide a beautifully rotating backdrop to the downtown scene at night.
