After our developers' continuous hard work, MIUI 9.2 Global Stable ROM has been released for some devices. At the same time, we are also trying our best to gradually release the update for other devices. But it may take some time. Hope you can wait patiently. Thanks for your understanding.
MIUI has 3 ROM versions: Experimental, Developer, and Stable.
The experimental version is updated every day and is open to a small part of senior members. It includes new features and bug fixes for the senior members to test before they enter developer version, therefore it contains high risks of serious bugs.
Developer version (China and Global) is updated every week. It gets new features and bug fixes in every update and is stable enough for daily usage.
Stable version doesn't have a regular update frequency. It's updated once a month/two months/even longer to ensure system stability. Common users who prefer ROM stability are recommended to use this version.
Q: How to upgrade to MIUI 9 global stable version?
If you're using MIUI V5/MIUI 6/MIUI 7/MIUI 8 global stable version on your device, you can update directly on your device via OTA, or flash the full ROMs recovery or use Mi PC Suite.
If you're using MIUI China developer / stable version or Global beta version, you can flash the full ROMs in recovery mode after wiping all user data. How to flash MIUI ROM? Click here to see detailed MIUI flashing tutorials or check this thread to see the step-by-step guide!
Q: Are there any notes I need to take before upgrading to MIUI 9 global stable version?
A: It's highly recommended to back up user data before updating. OTA update is a safe procedure, since it's not necessary to back up data. But if you update using full ROM, it's better to back up all of your data to a computer. Please don't update accross MIUI versions (experimental / developer / stable). If you really need to update accross MIUI versions, make sure to wipe all user data in Recovery mode before updating. How to flash MIUI ROM? Click here to see detailed MIUI flashing tutorials or check this thread to see the step-by-step guide!
Q: Could developer version 'upgrade' to the stable version?
A: The answer is yes. But you can't use the OTA method to update, and can only flash the full ROM. As developer version is actually advanced than stable version, there will be data conflict between the two versions. Therefore, please wipe all user data in Recovery mode before flashing the ROM. How to flash MIUI ROM? Click here to see detailed MIUI flashing tutorials or check this thread to see the step-by-step guide!
Q: Why do I not receive an update on MIUI 9 Global Stable ROM now?
Update for MIUI 9 Global Stable ROM is released first for certain users of Redmi Note 4 Qualcomm/Redmi Note 4X and Mi Max 2. It means some users will receive the update earlier, while others may receive the update later. But all the users of the above-mentioned devices may receive the update for MIUI 9 Global Stable ROM soon. For users of other devices, please stay tuned to the forum. Thanks for your patience and understanding.
[MIUI 9 Key Feature Series Vol.11] Managing Your Favorite Photos with One Tap!
I will not buy xiaomi phone anymore.
Very bad service when it comes to os updates.
They told us redmi note 4 mtk and other devices will get nougat late december 2017.
Late January is approaching, no stable nougat for these devices yet.
All updates are BETA, never ending weekly beta.
Wow Xiaomi...wow..... great!!! U have made urself proud by doing... even after knowing there are still many devices yet to get the first update of miui 9 u have already started moving to the newer versions...leave aside the android version update they will never get even after having the capable hardware....u have already been above ur given deadline but u still don't seem to care...now this is for those who have latest models and are currently dancing and partying cuz they have got the update....let the a few months pass... same thing will happen to u and then we will also laugh with disgust.. hat's off to Xiaomi for all this.
but Android version is same.
Once i was a fan of xiaomi.Now i hate it most.Why it launched redmi note 4 mtk variant? When they have no intention of taking care of it.Really? Mtk users money isnt money?dumb.
Xiaomi has very good marketing strategy. Every product it brings out has a self life of not more than 12-18 months max. People who get excited by cosmetic tinkering in MIUI forget one basic thing, If hardware supports new OS and company does not provide the update, your device will become obsolete over a period of time for new apps which requires new OS. Redmi note 3 was one of the highest selling model of Xiaomi, and the company has dumped its largest fan base who use this model by giving update in last and after so much waiting what we got, nothing only MIUI 8 changed to MIUI 9. Features are more or less same as was in Global Beta 8 with marshmallow. And when I say this, I mean it as I have been on beta rom since day 1 I bought this phone. Overall not worth the wait by any standard.
redmi 4a miui 9 global stable please... hope will realese on 15 this month.

Singapore — January 27 — Lucy, a neobank for women, was selected as a finalist in the" Future of Work" category for the 14th annual SXSW Pitch® (formerly SXSW Accelerator).
SXSW Pitch is the marquee event of South by Southwest® (SXSW®) Conference & Festivals (March 11 – 20, 2022) Startups Track, where leading startups from around the world showcase some of the most impressive technology innovations to a panel of hand-picked judges and a live audience. Out of the 655 companies that applied to present at SXSW Pitch 2022, Lucy was selected among the 45 finalists spanning 9 separate categories and is the only finalist from Singapore, with only 3 more companies representing Asia.
The two-day event will be held the first weekend of SXSW Conference & Festivals, Saturday, March 12 and Sunday, March 13, on the fourth floor of the Downtown Hilton Austin, Salon D/E. The event will then culminate with the 2022 SXSW Pitch Awards Ceremony on Sunday evening, March 13, where winning startups from each category and a Best in Show winner will be announced and honored.
SXSW Pitch will feature finalists across the following 9 categories: Artificial Intelligence, Robotics & Voice, Enterprise & Smart Data, Entertainment, Gaming & Content, Extended Reality & Immersive Technology, Future of Work, Health, Wearables & Wellbeing, Innovative World Technologies, Smart Cities, Transportation & Logistics, and Social & Culture.
Lucy will present together with four other companies in the "Future of Work" category on March 13.
"Empowering women entrepreneurs to succeed is one of the biggest potential catalysts for economic growth in the 'new normal'. Lucy has been designed from the ground up to help them realise their potential, to grow, thrive and shine", said Debbie Watkins, CEO and co-founder of Lucy. "The time for Lucy is now, and we're delighted to have been chosen as a finalist".
Lucy is a mobile banking app that helps women in Singapore organise, save and transfer money. Creating an account is free, and everyone's favourite feature is that you can create as many different accounts for your money as you wish and give them meaningful names. Then, you can order a physical prepaid Mastercard for each of your expense accounts, and set a goal for each of your savings accounts.. Since our launch in September 2021, we've seen mothers use Lucy to give a card to their teenage daughters, microbusiness owners use it to keep their side hustle finances separate from their personal money, and helpers switch from cash to Lucy thanks to the affordable remittance rates.
"Since its beginning, SXSW Pitch has significantly helped shape the early-stage venture ecosystem and connected promising companies with the resources they need to thrive, giving promising companies the resources they need to succeed when it matters most," said SXSW Pitch Event Producer Chris Valentine. "Of the 572 companies who have participated since the competition's inception, over 82 percent have gone on to secure funding and 17 percent have been acquired by the likes Google, British Telecom, Huffington Post, Apple, Live Nation, OpenTable.

MBAWC calls on the youth to pursue careers in the built environment and curb the skills shortfall
While South Africa is ranked number one out of the top 10 countries with the highest unemployment rates globally (World Population Review), the Master Builders' Association, Western Cape notes that there is a shortfall of 40 000 skilled artisans in the country. This shortfall could be addressed if young people stepped up to pursue careers in industries that require skills such as plumbing, building and carpentry.
When taking a closer look at the number of qualified artisans in the industry, the most noticeable observation is that over the past three to four years, many qualified and experienced artisans have retired and left the industry. The number of retired artisans versus the number of new entrants does not equate, which has resulted in a shortfall when it comes to training and upskilling new artisans. "This is a concern, not only for the MBAWC, but for the construction sector and country as a whole, as the built environment is a huge contributor to the country's economy", says Letitia van Rensburg – Training Officer at the MBAWC.
Over the years, the MBAWC has kept a close eye on the talent pool within the sector and a key trend that has emerged is that many young people may not be aware of the career opportunities offered to artisans (such as carpenters, plumbers or joiners). This means that there is an immediate need for associations such as the MBAWC, the Department of Education and the government to start educating young people about career opportunities available within the built environment. Some inroads have been made with the introduction of the A21 programme, but there is still a lot of work to do to close the skills gap.
Although many people can use their hands, for instance, to build a house, skilled professionals are still needed to get the job done according to proper industry standards. "Some individuals have the basic skills to build a structure of some sort. However, these structures may not withstand the onslaughts of bad weather or even time, as they were not built by someone equipped with the appropriate skills and knowledge. In essence, being qualified and possessing the correct skills allows for structures that are sustainable, safe and environmentally friendly," adds van Rensburg.
Training a qualified artisan takes between three and five years and it takes about 10 years to qualify as a master artisan. What is important for young people to know, is that pursuing a career within the built environment and ultimately qualifying as an artisan is multi-faceted and allows for personal growth and the ability to make a good living once qualified.
The MBAWC has several training programmes aimed at empowering and upskilling young people. One of the best performing training programmes is the Apprentice Training Programme, which is particularly tailored for young people between the ages of 18 and 32 years. The purpose of the programme is to ensure that young people can be placed into the industry as qualified artisans.
Letitia van Rensburg
In addition, the MBAWC runs a Supervisory Learnership Programme and an Occupational Health and Safety Programme, which are both aimed at jump-starting careers for young people in the built environment.
"As the MBAWC, we are focused on providing learning opportunities for young people, but we need more young people to join and grow in the field. Many retired artisans are willing to mentor new entrants who have a passion for working with their hands. Our young people need to understand that a career that requires one to do physical labor is just as important, and rewarding, as a career that requires one to work on a PC behind a desk," notes van Rensburg.
"One thing about the world we live in today is that there are opportunities and platforms for people to constantly upskill themselves and keep abreast of industry changes. I always advise young people – especially those with a passion for the built environment – to start creating and building things while they wait for their artisan and apprenticeship training applications to be processed.
"Platforms such as YouTube allows anyone to acquire new skills. In essence, my advice is to always be on the lookout for ways to grow and upskill yourself, whilst knocking on doors of opportunity," concludes van Rensburg.

In England and Wales, the Manual for Streets, published in March 2007, provides guidance for practitioners involved in the planning, design, provision and approval of new streets, and modifications to existing ones. It aims to increase the quality of life through good design which creates more people-oriented streets. Although the detailed guidance in the document applies mainly to residential streets, the overall design principles apply to all streets within urban areas.
A street is defined as "a highway with important public realm functions beyond the movement of motor traffic" – i.e. by its function rather than some arbitrary traffic flow limit.
The UK Department for Transport (DfT) and the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG), with support from the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE), commissioned WSP Group, Transport Research Laboratory (TRL), Llewelyn Davies Yeang and Phil Jones Associates to develop Manual for Streets to give guidance to a range of practitioners on effective street design.
Manual for Streets was published on 29 March 2007. It superseded Design Bulletin 32 – Residential Roads and Footpaths – Layout Considerations (DB32) and the companion guide Places, Streets and Movement, which have now been withdrawn. A copy of the manual as well a summary and supporting research can be downloaded from the Department for Transport.
Manual for Streets has updated geometric guidelines for low trafficked residential streets, examines the effect of the environment on road user behaviour, and draws on practice in other countries. Research undertaken by TRL provides the evidence base upon which the revised geometric guidelines in the Manual for Streets are based, including link widths, forward visibility, visibility splays and junction spacing.
Manual for Streets applies in England and Wales and is national guidance, not a policy document.
The Scottish Government commissioned WSP Group, Phil Jones Associates and Edaw to produce Designing Streets, a version of Manual for Streets for application in Scotland and was published in 2010. Unlike Manual for Streets, it is published as a "policy statement".
Manual for Streets 2: Wider Application of the Principles was launched on 29 September 2010 in London. It is designed to be read alongside the original Manual rather than to supersede it. It is available to buy for £40 in paper form from its publisher, the Chartered Institution of Highways & Transportation (CIHT), as well as the usual retail outlets. CIHT staff reported at the launch that it will not be available to download for up to a year.
"By multiplying opportunities for 'rat-running' [the approach in Manual for Streets will] increase the capacity of a road network to carry traffic – and, course (sic) to emit CO2. In other words, it is a cheaper variation on the 'build our way out of congestion' theme."

5.21.16 Adoption Story, Durango Airport
I simply couldn't bring myself to choose just a handful of photos when the whole story of these sweet boys' arrival was begging to be told, so below is a slideshow of this adoption story.
When I first met Kelsey and Justin two years ago, a picture of Beni and Zeke sat on their end table and I heard their story of hopes and dreams for bringing these boys home. Their adoption journey started before Kelsey become pregnant with Solomon. I was blessed to be Kelsey's doula and the birth photographer for his birth, so when she told me recently that after three years of waiting the "Red Sea" had parted and their boys were coming home, I was thrilled be asked to photograph their arrival (another kind of birth).
For three years Kelsey and Justin prayed for and longed for their boys, without ever having met them in person. Battling endless governmental red tape, they never gave up hope. Finally Justin flew over to do the final work in person. He was there a month before passports and everything for the boys was released to come home.
As I stood in the airport with Kelsey, my heart pounding in sympathetic anticipation for the big moment when her boys would come into her arms, we reminisced about the last moments of labor with Solomon. "I think waiting now is harder than pushing was then!" she said. And that's saying a lot, because she didn't have an easy labor.
With friends supporting Kelsey in the background, at last the airport security door opened and Justin walked through with Beni following behind and a tired Zeke sleeping in his arms after the long journey. Kelsey put her hand over her mouth in shock and joy and walked forward for a first family embrace with all five of them. I had to blink back the tears to see straight to photograph the moment.
Adoption is such a beautiful picture of how we all have been invited to become children of God. The book of Ephesians in the Bible says "He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before Him. In love He predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of His will, to the praise of His glorious grace, with which He has blessed us in the Beloved. In Him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace, which He lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight making known to us the mystery of His will, according to His purpose, which He set forth in Christ as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth" (Eph. 1:4-10).
And thus the Lyons family is united at last, in answer to prayer! These three boys couldn't have asked for better parents to lavish love upon them!
Push play on the image of their airplane landing below to see the slideshow.
Welcome home, boys! Durango is going to be richer to have you here!

Samsung launches Galaxy On7 Prime that features Samsung Mall visual search feature
Aniruddha Paul Mobile Jan 18, 2018, 11:00 am
Yesterday, Samsung launched its newest smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy On7 Prime, with the new Samsung Mall visual search feature, which is its major highlight. It was teased beforehand on Amazon.in, and will be exclusively available on the online store besides the Samsung Shop, since January 20.

You can as well select a photo from the gallery of your phone. Then, the feature identifies the product and even finds similar products from numerous online stores, by using the visual info. Finally, you will be led to purchase the product from Universal Cart of Samsung Mall. The feature further provides the convenience of all-in-one shopping which means you can go through different products across multiple online stores collectively in one place.

Canada's lost LNG opportunities due to dearth of export facilities
Appeared in the Financial Post, March 4, 2022
Europe is suffering its worst energy crisis since the 1970s. European natural gas prices have risen more than 600 per cent over the past year, including 30 per cent since Russia invaded Ukraine. While the United States, Australia and other countries have already started to boost shipments of liquified natural gas (LNG) to Europe, Canada remains the sidelines. Unfortunately, despite being the world's fifth-largest producer of natural gas, Canada has missed the opportunity to expand our supply of LNG to overseas markets due to a lack of export infrastructure, largely due to regulatory barriers and environmental activism.
Consider that in January 2022, in response to high energy prices, the U.S. exported a record amount of LNG to Europe and became the world's largest LNG exporter for two months in a row. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the U.S. will have the world's largest LNG export capacity by the end of 2022 and LNG exports have become an engine of economic growth and tool for strengthening the country's foreign policy.
Similarly, Australia is considering exporting more LNG to Europe. Keith Pitt, Australia's resources minister, recently said Australia is "a leading and reliable global exporter of LNG" and stands ready to assist with further supplies. And Qatar and Japan are also seizing the opportunity, eyeing an increase of LNG exports to Europe.
Yet firms in Canada, despite having ample reserves, have not stepped up to export desperately needed natural gas to Europe. Why?
Simply put, despite producing 16.1 billion cubic feet of natural gas each day, Canada does not have any LNG export facilities—an astonishing fact for such a resource-rich country. According to Natural Resources Canada, 18 LNG export facility projects have been proposed in Canada since 2011 (specifically, 13 in British Columbia, two in Quebec and three in Nova Scotia). One export facility in B.C. is under construction. For comparison, between 2014 and 2020, the U.S. built seven LNG export facilities and approved 20 more (five are currently under construction).
The culprit? Canada's arduous regulatory system—and fierce opposition from interest groups—has led to the cancellation of several critical LNG projects. For example, in 2017, oil and gas company Petronas cancelled its $36 billion Pacific NorthWest LNG project due to "delays and long regulatory timelines" coupled with poor market conditions. In 2020, Warren Buffet pulled out of a proposed $9 billion LNG project in Quebec amid concerns over regulatory challenges and railway blockades. Last year, joint venture partners Chevron and Woodside Energy stated their intention to sell their shares of the Kitimat LNG project in northern B.C. after more than a decade of slow progress.
A 2020 study by the Canadian Energy Research Institute assessed the competitiveness of Canada's regulatory framework for the oil and gas sector (at the federal and provincial levels) compared to the U.S. and found that Canada had a competitive disadvantage with LNG projects, which take approximately 19 more months to gain approval in Canada compared to the U.S.
Of course, strong environmental protections are necessary; Canadians demand responsible stewardship of the environment. But excessive regulatory barriers and opposition to energy infrastructure have hurt our LNG industry and also in fact contributed to higher global emissions. China—a potential customer for Canadian LNG—is burning coal for power generation at staggering levels. If Canada owned the export capacity to ship Canadian LNG, China's emissions would be lower as natural gas is less emission-intensive than coal.
Moving forward, Canada's glaring inability to export natural gas should be a wake-up call for governments across the country to ease regulations for energy infrastructure projects. By missing an opportunity to export natural gas to Europe (and Asia), we're missing an opportunity to benefit Canadians, our allies and the environment.

The introduction of modern high-pressure diesel injection systems has led to an increase in the demands on workshops.
Absolute cleanliness is a requirement for installing and removing components, and during testing and repairs. We need to ensure a 'dust-free' working environment for high pressure diesel fuel injection component repair.
Bosch PH asked us to set up a Cleanroom in Malabon Diesel for CRI/CRIN/UI/UP repair. We said yes.
Like those found in semiconductor and pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities, we commissioned a cleanroom contractor to build one.
Commonrail injector assembly is done inside the cleanroom. "Third-stage" repair equipment inside the room further ensure that measurements are very exact.
We now have a class 400 at 1 micrometer particle size clean room (Room classification between class 1,000 and class 10,000).
It is the first and only cleanroom in the PH diesel repair industry. And we are very happy that we built one for you.

Description The National Museum of the Pacific War presents an oral interview with William Wayne Gatlin. He worked in the oil fields in West Texas prior to joining the Marine Corps in July 1945 when he was 18. He was in boot camp at Parris Islans, South Carolina when the atomic bombs were dropped and the war ended. Shortly after training, Gatlin was assigned to China and arrived there via the Panama Canal and Hawaii. In China, Gatlin served as a cook in a special services unit whose duty included giving former Japanese servicemen awaiting repatriation tasks to do during the day. After a year and a half, Gatlin was discharged and returned home to West Texas. As an aside, William is the father of Larry, Steve and Rudy Gatlin, who comprise the Gatlin Brothers of country music fame.

Towards Understanding the Structure and Dynamics of Receptor Proteins
FP7-IDEAS-ERC
CHARITE - UNIVERSITAETSMEDIZIN BERLIN
Upon binding an agonist, the seven transmembrane (TM) helical bundle of a G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) undergoes conformational changes that catalyze nucleotide exchange within bound G proteins. In rhodopsin, the agonist arises from light-induced isomerization of the retinal ligand, but an active conformation (Ops*) can also be adopted by the opsin apoprotein. We recently solved the structure of Ops* in complex with a peptide from the C-terminal ±-5 helix of the G protein. Considering this structure and previous work, we postulate a mechanism by which the 40 Å gap between the retinal and the nucleotide binding site is bridged. First, TM5 and TM6 engage in new interactions to form a mitt-like structure into which the G-protein ±-5 helix can bind. Second, the bound ±-5 helix switches into a new position, thereby acting as a transmission rod to the nucleotide binding site. In the proposed project, we will test this mechanism and explore the underlying protein dynamics by: - determining the structure of the receptor in complex with longer peptides, and if possible, with the G holoprotein, - measuring conformational changes on the timescale of receptor activation (ms) and expand computational modelling of the respective transitory complexes, - determining the underlying backbone dynamics and fluctuations on the ps-ns time scale by experimentation and molecular dynamics. Some of the necessary methodologies are available, while others must be developed or made available through collaborations. Rhodopsin is the ideal model system for studying signal transduction mechanisms. Our novel multi-prong approach, while risky, will enormously improve our understanding of GPCR signalling mechanisms. The insights gained will be significant for receptor-directed drug development.

Post-lockdown auto emissions can't hide in the grass
Sidewalk grasses demonstrate uneven rebound in air pollution

University of California scientists have a new way to demonstrate which neighborhoods returned to pre-pandemic levels of air pollution after COVID restrictions ended.
Vehicle emissions are the biggest source of carbon dioxide in Southern California's air. As people drove their cars far less in 2020 compared to 2019 due to the pandemic, there was a major drop in CO2 on regional highways. A new study published in AGU Advances using a mobile laboratory shows the CO2 drop was roughly 60%.
By analyzing grass samples from across the state, the same study also showed in fine detail that some parts of California were back to high levels of emissions by 2021, while others — generally in more affluent areas — were not.
"Community scientists sent us hundreds of wild grass samples. We analyzed them for radiocarbon content, which is a proxy for fossil fuel emissions," said Francesca Hopkins, UC Riverside assistant professor of climate change and study co-author.
"Plants absorb CO2 during photosynthesis and incorporate it into their tissues, recording a snapshot of local fossil fuel inputs in the process," said study lead Cindy Yañez, formerly of UCR, now an Earth System Sciences doctoral student at UC Irvine.
The team's grass samples revealed that coastal Orange County retained their pandemic-related reduction in emissions, and that San Francisco has fared better than Los Angeles. Both the Los Angeles metro area and Pasadena had bigger pollution rebounds than the coast, or than the state as a whole.
"We believe many of the differences we saw can be attributed to how many people are able to continue working remotely," Hopkins said. "Other likely factors include the number of low-emission or electric vehicles in an area, and distance from industrial warehouses, with heavy big-rig traffic."
Drilling down further, the study detailed emissions levels on specific roadways in San Francisco. Since the city's Great Highway remained closed to cars until the end of 2021, it retained its low emissions levels into 2021. However, the city's 19th Avenue, where traffic was redirected, showed a big increase in fossil fuel CO2 based on radiocarbon content in the grass.
The researchers have found that using wild grasses offers several advantages over other techniques.
"People traditionally measure radiocarbon in the air by collecting large, 2-liter flasks of air, which you then have to take to a lab and extract. It's time consuming," Hopkins said. "Grass already got the CO2 out of the air and did a lot of the work for us. It's less expensive and lets us measure in new locations that weren't previously possible."
In addition, existing satellite or urban tower networks can measure CO2 in more economically developed cities. However, these measurement systems cannot offer neighborhood-scale observations needed to inform policies that are intended to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and ultimately, climate change.
For example, cities could decide to reduce their carbon footprint by restricting vehicle traffic on a particular road or closing down another known source of emissions. Then they could use measurements of the grass in that area to measure the success of that action.
"As the world gets more serious about mitigating climate-warming CO2, we need metrics to let us know if we're doing a good job of reducing it," Hopkins said. "We also want to make sure communities most affected by emissions are getting the air quality benefits of reducing CO2."

Part of Fire's ongoing series of re-imagined soundtracks. Following on from Fenella, Jane Weaver's score for Marcell Jankovics' Feherlofia, and Death and Vanilla's reworking of The Tenant and Vampyr. A specially recorded soundtrack for Alfred Hitchcock's legendary Ripper-based drama by multi-award-winning composer Graham Reynolds (Where Do You Go, Bernadette / A Scanner Darkly). The Lodger – based on Marie Belloc Lowndes' 1913 novel with a nod to the infamous Jack The Ripper case – set many hearts racing when visiting the East End of London and an unexpected fog descended. The drama was afoot, and the tension has been further escalated with a re-imagined score by multi award-winning composer, bandleader, and innovative improvisor, Graham Reynolds. This tale of murder and suspense set on the streets of terrorised London is eerily completed as Reynolds' sweeps from light to dark; it's playful in places, haunting, a tease – like Hitchcock at his best. Nowhere is safe, even the seemingly innocuous 'Police Station' which is accompanied by a brooding piece of maniacal piano that underpins a gloriously evocative theme; a haunting and suggestive muse that stutters with tension. It's another Reynolds' master stroke on the heels of his score for Richard Linklater's Where Do You Go, Bernadette, his work on Ballet Austin's Grimm Tales and his contribution to The Sound Of Science, a multimedia collaboration with Kronos Quartet's former cellist Jeffery Zeigler.

Farmers' Almanac Predicts A Wet And Cool Spring For Most Of The U.S. — Here's Where You'll Feel The Heat
Jim Fulcher
Jan.15.2023
"Overall, we see a wet and cool season for most places, with spring taking its sweet time to arrive," according to the Farmers' Almanac.

Right around this time of year, some people — especially when they live in northern states — begin to count down the days until spring.
While the spring equinox will occur on March 20 at 5:24 p.m. Eastern Time for the Northern Hemisphere this year, that doesn't necessarily mean spring-like weather will arrive then.
Fortunately, the Farmers' Almanac, which has published long-range weather forecasts since 1818, recently published its 2023 spring forecast to give readers a resource to help make plans — and also know what to expect.
"Spring has a way of keeping us on our toes," the Farmers' Almanac spring forecast explains.
"While many of us will be looking forward to the end of winter, spring temperatures may take their time arriving. According to our long-range outlook, temperatures will be slow to warm," the forecast continues. "In fact, around the time of the vernal equinox, unseasonably cold temperatures may be gripping many parts of the country, extending the 'shiver and shovel' portion of our winter forecast. We are predicting a 'soggy, shivery spring' ahead."
So, let's get right to it. Here is the Farmers' Almanac spring forecast for the United States.
A Cool, Wet Spring
"Overall, we see a wet and cool season for most places, with spring taking its sweet time to arrive," according to the spring forecast.
For instance, the spring forecast for the Great Lakes area of the U.S. is "cool, very stormy," according to the Farmers' Almanac. Meanwhile, people in the southeastern U.S. can expect typical spring temperatures along with "tons of showers."
Anyone who lives in New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, or Louisiana can expect near-normal temperatures along with "plenty of thunderstorms" this spring, the Farmers' Almanac continues.
The exceptions will be in the northwestern U.S., where near-normal temperatures should be expected in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. In fact, the overall spring forecast for this area is "seasonal temperatures and precipitation," the Farmers' Almanac explains.
Likewise, in the southwestern U.S., people can expect temperatures to rise quickly. The Farmers' Almanac forecast for that area calls for "warm-to-hot continued dry" weather this spring.
A Turbulent Late Spring
As you may already expect, snow will continue to be possible in early April for much of the Great Lakes area.
"Spring will be unusually active over the nation's heartland with frequent heavy-to-severe thunderstorms predicted," the spring forecast notes. "Such adverse activity will be confined chiefly to the southeast states during March, and then will spread north and west from April through June."
2023 Tornado Forecast
Although tornadoes may occur in much of the U.S., the most frequent and devastating tornado events typically occur in the area known as "Tornado Alley" which runs from the Dakotas south to Texas.
In 2023, however, the Farmers' Almanac spring forecast calls for tornadoes to be more likely slightly to the east. That area encompasses the Ohio, Tennessee, and Mississippi River valleys.
Just How Accurate Are The Forecasts?
The Farmers' Almanac has published long-range weather forecasts since 1818. The key to those forecasts is a set of astronomical and mathematical rules developed by David Young, the Almanac's first editor.
The question, inevitably, on people's minds, however, is this: How reliable are those long-range forecasts?
To find out, we talked to Caleb Weatherbee, the official forecaster for the Farmers' Almanac. Interestingly, although Weatherbee is a real person, the name "Caleb Weatherbee" is "actually a pseudonym that has been passed down through generations of Almanac prognosticators and has been used to conceal the true identity of the men and women behind our predictions," the Farmers' Almanac told TravelAwaits.
"Many years ago, Ray Geiger, who was editor of the Farmers' Almanac for 60 years, was quoted as saying that we are 80 percent correct," Weatherbee told TravelAwaits in an exclusive interview.
"That's pretty much our 'traditional' batting average, although, there are variances from year to year — sometimes the accuracy is a bit lower and sometimes it's a bit higher," Weatherbee continued. "We always strive for 100 percent accuracy, but Ms. Nature always throws us a few curve balls, or knuckleballs, each year."
While spring may seem to be around the corner, there's still plenty of winter left. If you want to know what the Farmers' Almanac winter forecast is for your area this winter, or areas you'll be visiting, be sure to also read Farmers' Almanac Predicts Cold, Snowy Winter For Most Of U.S., Here's Where It Will Be Mild And Dry.

Samsung Galaxy S10+ vs. iPhone 11 Pro: Which should you buy?
Android standard
Going 'pro'
If any Android phone has the ability to pull a large number of iPhone users away from Apple, it's the Galaxy S10+. It has exceptional hardware, an amazing display, and piles of features that cover what Apple can do and so much more. The software is more daunting, but ultimately more capable as well. Those teetering on the fence could lean toward Samsung after using this phone.
$1000 at Amazon
Larger, industry-leading display
Headphone jack and SD card slot
Duplicate apps and bloatware
Low-light camera quality can't keep up
Apple's phones are keeping pace with the top-end Android phones today. Whether that means this is actually a "Pro" device doesn't really matter — the 11 Pro does just about everything the Android competition does, and has the huge draw of still offering access to Apple's software, apps and services ecosystem.

Exceptional face unlock
Simpler software experience

Though the number of people actively looking at switching between iPhone and Android isn't as big as the ones sticking in their lane, there's no better comparison to make in this arena than the latest offerings from Apple and Samsung.
What's the difference between the Galaxy S10+ and iPhone 11 Pro?
Putting aside all of the general Android versus iPhone comparisons to start, let's focus on the hardware differences. Samsung goes with a bigger display, 6.4 to 5.8 inches, and slims down the bezels in an attempt to make it manageable in one hand. Even with larger bezels, the iPhone 11 Pro is still smaller in height and width (though not weight), making it much easier to grasp in one hand — though if you see size as a benefit, you also have the option of getting the smaller Galaxy S10 instead.
The difference in usable display size will have more of an effect than the overall size.
For many people, the difference in usable display size will have more of an effect than the physical size in your hand, but that comes down to personal preference. Thankfully both phones have amazing OLED displays, with excellent colors, viewing angles and brightness. Samsung and Apple are neck-and-neck in smartphone display quality, with everyone else trailing well behind.
Elsewhere in the hardware, it's hard to find a fault in either of these phones. Samsung relies far more on glass and focuses on curves, whereas the iPhone 11 Pro is more substantial with a larger metal frame. Both have their good and bad angles (mostly the camera situations around the back), but both feel great and are worthy of the money.

As is so often the case with iPhones, the specs don't really tell the whole story. Sure the iPhone 11 Pro has less RAM and a smaller battery than the S10+, but that won't create any big gulf in either performance or battery life. Both phones are incredibly overpowered for what most people will be doing with them, and battery life is going to be strong in either case. Elsewhere you'll see that both phones have stereo speakers, fast wired charging and wireless charging (though Samsung's faster in the latter), and water resistance.
Samsung wins the spec battle, but that isn't as useful as also winning the hardware feature battle.
Certain line-items do make a difference though. The Galaxy S10+ uses an in-display fingerprint sensor, while the iPhone 11 Pro relies on Face ID — Apple's system works really well, while Samsung's is a bit slow and inconsistent, even if it does have the general benefit of working the same in any lighting condition. The Galaxy S10+ also has double the default storage (128GB), expandable storage, and a headphone jack. It also plugs in and charges over the industry standard USB-C connector.
On the camera front, Apple took a page right out of the playbook Samsung and many other high-end Android makers have been following. There's now a triple camera setup, with a standard, telephoto and ultra-wide lenses to give you more variety in your shooting. Samsung's cameras are a proven quantity, and their consistency and quality make them some of the best you can get today. But Apple's taking a step forward by using the same 12MP sensor across all three cameras, which is a big plus, and is also launching a new Night Mode that will undoubtedly beat Samsung's already-weak low-light performance.
The final verdict of the camera comparison will have to come after we've used the iPhone 11 Pro for longer, but considering where the iPhone XS already stood and the improvements Apple made it's likely going to pull ahead of what the Galaxy S10+ has to offer.
Should you buy the Galaxy S10+ or iPhone 11 Pro?
Whichever side you start from is where you're likely to land again when you upgrade.
Comparing an Android phone to an iPhone is difficult. So much of the experience is just incomparable, and lives in a world with years of history on each side that's far more important than the individual spec-to-spec comparisons of the latest devices. If you already have an Android phone, or particularly a Samsung phone, you're going to be far more inclined to stick with that ecosystem and the familiarity with the interface and apps. The same goes for the iPhone — perhaps even more so if you take into account iPhone-only features like iMessage and Apple's suite of services that just aren't available on Android.
So it's unlikely that you'll be impartial when coming into comparing the Galaxy S10+ and iPhone 11 Pro. Whichever side you start from is where you're likely to land again when you upgrade. But if you're truly up for a switch or don't care about the ecosystem part of this, look to Samsung for its incredible spec sheet, features and flexibility of software customization and capabilities; look to Apple for a simpler and more consistent software experience, better camera quality and the potential draw of its excellent app ecosystem. You really can't pick a winner here that applies to everyone — but it's clear why these phones are the best available on both sides of the ecosystem.
The best the Android market has to offer.
Samsung's hardware, display, features and specs all match or exceed Apple's, but that may not be enough to overcome the iPhone ecosystem lock-in.
Apple plays catch-up really well.
Apple matches what Samsung can offer in everything but specs and raw number of features — but offers the huge benefit of Apple's ecosystem and an incredible camera system.

Ahead of other carriers, Sprint has declared the launch date of the Samsung Galaxy tab device, and the tablet device would be available for $399 with 2-year contract, and if you want to buy it at full retail without a contract, it would cost $599. This is lesser than the expected and rumored price of $799 full retail.
The android based 7-inch tablet device was unveiled in September at the IFA, Germany and its coming in with the latest android operating system version 2.2 i.e. Froyo. There were rumors about the 10-inch version of the tab too, but only the 7-inch model is coming out on November 14th through Sprint, as the other carriers have not announced any launches sooner or later. The Galaxy tab comes with the GPS functionality, 2 cameras (front and back), support for flash and the screen has HD-video functionality, with the screen resolution being 1024 x 768 pixels.
The pricing is surely a surprise and a happy news for U.S. subscribers as the pricing in UK had been rumored to around $1000, and the actual market price would be out when the competitor carriers AT&T, Verizon and T-mobile comment on it.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab vs. Apple iPad which I had compared some time back, was clear to the point that the Tab has many features that keeps itself ahead of the iPad, with the cameras, support for SIM, flash etc.
this (image) is not a samsung galaxy image. Check it out once.
Hi, I have seen the commercials and liked it but after reading your post i came to know about the the exact features and liked it a lot.

5 Quick Ways To Get Into American Football
lukealexdavis 11th January 2020 No Comments
Struggling to get into American football? Here are 5 ways to start enjoying the sport.
My first serious foray into American football was Superbowl XLV between The Green Bay Packers and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Up until then, I had very little interest in NFL apart from watching Ace Ventura and even then, I wasn't watching it for Dan Marino.
It was probably ill-advised to choose the final game of the season as my first venture into the sport but everyone was talking about it so I gave it a go. Needless to say, it bored me to the point of sleep (it was 3am).
The jagged flow of play with each tackle and the sheer volume of commercials (which, ironically, were more entertaining than the match itself), did little to encourage future participation. Even the famed Half Time Show was tedious and that was one of the few things I'd known about the Superbowl before watching.
Three years later and my life had changed significantly. I had visited friends in Chicago in 2012 and ingratiated myself in the culture, particularly the city's historic sporting achievements. In 2014, I moved out of my parents' house and for the first time in my life, I had Sky with a sports package. By that point, I was slowly getting back into the other game of football but on a Sunday night, there was never anything good to watch.
That's when I decided to try and get into American football properly. Here are a few of my suggestions to try yourself.
Pick a team
Individual sports are easier to watch as a neutral as you're more inclined to enjoy the beauty of the game rather than one solo effort against another. With team sports, it's nigh on impossible to stay impartial because of the hysteria each team creates through merchandising or their own history.
It's worth picking a team aligned to your level of sentimentality. You're more likely to stick with them through the bad times rather than going for the "best" team but if you do that, be prepared for chants of glory hunter.
For me, the choice was simple. I had the biggest connection with Chicago so I chose the Bears.
Pick a player
At school, the girls were often criticised for following players they fancied rather than one specific team. David Beckham was the centre of attraction for this way of support but despite the amorous intentions, it's not a bad way to start.
Perhaps there's a particular quarterback you admire for their throwing style or maybe the superhuman catching ability of Odell Beckham Jr. caught your eye. By keeping tabs on one player, you can then watch how they interact with other players and find yourself enjoying the collective rather than the individual.
Try fantasy football
This is something I've yet to do for the NFL but it's a great way to keep tabs on multiple players and find out who's the best and who you should be looking out for. Apart from the official NFL Fantasy Football League, there is a myriad of other private leagues run by other fans, both free and paid for with a cash reward should you win in your "rookie year". This also ties in with the next tip…
Watch Redzone
In UK football (soccer), there's Football Focus and for the NFL, there's Redzone. This was and still is the catalyst for my attraction to American football. The programme, hosted by X, showcases key highlights from all the live games that day meaning you're never short of the action and it does away with multiple ad breaks and juddering matches involving 3-yard tackles.
Plus, the banter between the commentators is fun and you get fantasy football stats at the bottom of the screen.
Watch a game
This is probably the first thing you should do in all fairness but it doesn't help to do some of the other things in pre-season before everything kicks off. Matches are an hour long and split into four quarters of 15 minutes.
Touchdowns are worth 5 points, conversions are worth 1, field goals are worth 2. You can only pass the ball forward once per play but you can throw it back as many times as you like (although backward passes are rare as the whole point is to move the ball forward).

American football still bamboozles me with its idiosyncrasies. But as long as you understand the basics, you should find it as enjoyable as any other weekly sport. And with those tips, you should be able to get into American football in no time.

Entrepreneurs collaborate to build up downtown Farmington
Jamil and Dave Azar. Photo by David Lewinski.
When the Azar family opened up Basement Burger Bar in downtown Farmington nine years ago, little did they know they would gain some wonderful friendships and entrepreneurial comradery with fellow downtown Farmington business owners.
"We opened 1up Arcade to be kind of a retro 1980s arcade bar with all of the old school games," says Christina Azar. "We plan on doing a ton of events up there. Eventually, we will try to do a Mario Kart (TM) competition."
"We should all work together and come up with ways to collaborate," says Azar. "Honestly, Farmington is such a great city. We love it, I mean that's why we chose to expand in Farmington."
Sharing with skateboarders
Rob Woelkers, owner of Plus Skateboarding for the past 15 years and skateboarding enthusiast of 30 years, is one of the downtown business neighbors who has collaborated with Basement Burger Bar.
On September 21, the Azars held a soft opening of 1up Arcade, located conveniently upstairs to the bar. Woelkers was instrumental in gaining attention for both businesses from the community.
On that same day, Plus Skateboarding's held its annual skateboard competition and The Volcom national skateboard team was in town for a tour at the Farmington Hills Riley Skatepark.
"We like to collaborate, and Rob approached us," says Azar. "He had a national skateboard event and asked us if he could throw a party here and bring in some celebrity skateboarders. So, they wanted to come to play games and they did."
"We have always had an after party after the competition with the judges and everybody who helps out," says Woelker. "It worked out that that team was in town so we told them they should come to the after party, and the Azars opened up their new arcade bar for us and the guys. So, it was fun for the guys on the team to do that."
Famous professional skateboarders like Omar Hassan and 14-year-old skateboarders CJ Collins and Louie Lopez were also in attendance, which gave the businesses some nice publicity.
It's a date night!
The Azars are also giving away "Farmington Date Nights that capitalize on downtown business collaboration.
Azar says the giveaway idea evolved after the Farmington Police asked them for a donation.
"We gave them a Basement Burger Bar gift card and a 1up certificate for tokens, and then we gave him some free tickets and popcorn to the Farmington Civic Theater from (general manager) Scott Freeman," he says.
"So, it's a come in, eat, go play, have a drink, go watch a movie kind of night," says Azar.
And it can all be done in downtown Farmington.
The new 1up Arcade Bar will be having their Grand Opening 1980s Rock 'n Roll Halloween Party on Saturday, October 27th, which will include a costume contest, drink specials, and live DJ entertainment. As a collaboration with School of Rock, kids will be playing and singing 1980's songs.
Basement Burger Bar is located at 33316 Grand River Avenue in downtown Farmington. The hours of operation for Basement Burger Bar: are Monday and Thursday 11 a.m. to 12 p.m., Friday and Saturday 11 a.m. to 2 a.m., Sunday 12 p.m. to 12 a.m. For more information on either business, call (248) 919-2797, or visit http://basementburgerbar.com/.

In Texas, and in states across the country, the divorce-related issue of child custody is generally settled according to the "best interests of the child" standards. Unfortunately, many parents differ as to what constitutes "best interests."
In her practice as a Plano child custody attorney, Jane-Ashley McMillan offers legal advice and quality representation to divorcing parents in Collin County and Dallas County regarding permanent custody and temporary custody arrangements. She has more than 30 years of experience in these matters and is certified as a family law specialist by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization.
Ms. McMillan's law practice is dedicated solely to the practice of family law and needs of the individuals she represents are her top priority. As such, she is a fierce advocate in court on behalf of her clients' best interests and demanding the best interests of the children be implemented. A child's special needs and other unique circumstances often require skillful advocacy that Ms. McMillan can provide.
Ideally, custody litigation should be the last resort because children can be permanently damaged unless custody and divorce issues are handled with extreme sensitivity. Because of this, Jane-Ashley explores litigation alternatives such as mediation and collaborative law in an effort to resolve these issues.
In general, the state of Texas encourages visitation. Visitation exists when one parent — a mother or a father — has the right to determine the primary residence of the children. Specific details as to how much visitation is granted, when the visitation is granted, and where the visitation will take place will vary dependant upon the situation. Texas does not generally exclude a parent from visitation unless there is a threat of serious harm, but sometimes other measures need to be taken to ensure the safety of the minor children. Grandparents may petition for visitation rights in certain cases.
The law office of Jane-Ashley McMillan can also assist you in obtaining modifications to your child custody and child visitation agreements, as well. For example, a parent may need to relocate and therefore need a modified court order. The door to the courthouse is always open with regard to the best interests of the children.
Contact Jane-Ashley McMillan, Attorney at Law, for experienced and effective legal representation in these concerns.
Call 469-331-6033 for guidance regarding possession of minor children or child support after a separation or divorce of the parents.


I have been meaning to make a Frosé all summer long, a delicious adult slushie made with Rosé, and while summer's end is nearing (I'm sorry, but it is!), I figure it's better late than never, right? Frosé isn't your last minute, whip it together kind of cocktail, but it is delicious and worth the little bit of effort. And bonus: it can me made and left in the freezer for those hot summer nights or when friends pop by unexpectedly, the alcohol keeps it from freezing solid, so it's ready when needed.
Have you made Frosé before? What do you like to add to yours? And if you give this one a go, I'd love to know what you think in the comments.
To make the Rosemary Simple Syrup add the two sprigs of fresh rosemary to 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer and stir until sugar dissolves. Turn off heat and allow to steep for 30 minutes, remove rosemary and cool completely.
To the cooled simple syrup add the Rosé and grapefruit juice, mix well and pour into a 9 x 13 inch pan. Freeze for at least 6 hours. To serve, scoop into glasses and garnish with a sprig of rosemary and a wedge of grapefruit!
This looks so refreshing Neelam and I love your styling! You know I also love that wine. 😉 Cheers!
Thank you Justine! That means a lot coming from you! I avoided Frosé for the longest time, thinking it was going to be too hard and messy! This is the easiest recipe! Freezing it in a pan makes all the difference. And yes, Chateau Souverain, frozen or not, is summer perfection!
