How to Innovate for Maine's Diverse Population of Students
December 13, 2017 by Web Director
WATERVILLE, MAINE, December 2017 — Calling all Maine educators PK-12! Thomas College's Center for Innovation in Education is holding its annual Summer Institute on June 26-28 at Thomas College in Waterville. This year's topic: how to innovate for Maine's diverse population of students. This theme speaks to the need to talk about diversity in relation to STEAM, proficiency-based education, and digital learning. Registration is now open.
Open to Maine educators PK-12, the Summer Institute 2018 will provide networking opportunities, ample team-time with personal coaching, and breakout sessions focused on hands-on deliverables rather than direct instruction.
"This conference is research driven and practice focused," said assistant professor of education and co-chair of the institute Dr. Katie Rybakova. "Our focus is to help you bring back inspiration and ideas that you can use on Monday morning."
Registration can be completed online. Early bird pricing is $175 per person. After February 1, $195 per person. Special group discounts for teams of four or more are available.
Event speakers include Mara Tieken, associate professor at Bates College and author of "Why Rural Schools Matter", Richard Biffle, professor of education at Thomas College, author, former teacher and principal, and Moira Kelly & Explo Associates, Mobile Makerspaces.
About Thomas College: Founded in 1894, Thomas College offers undergraduate and graduate degrees in programs ranging from business, entrepreneurship, and technology, to education, criminal justice, and psychology. Its Guaranteed Job Program, the first of its kind in the nation, is built on student's academic, career, and leadership preparation. Thomas is also home to the Harold Alfond Institute for Business Innovation and the Center for Innovation in Education. Money Magazine recently ranked Thomas 23rd in the Country for adding the most value to their degrees, and data reported by the New York Times ranks Thomas in the top 15 percent of all college and universities in the U.S. for upward mobility of its graduates.

Kids and grown-ups will love these homemade fruit scrolls for a morning or afternoon treat.
Preheat oven to 180°C. Line eight 200ml-capacity muffin pans with paper cases. Combine the flour, sugar and baking powder in a large bowl. Add the butter. User your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour mixture until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Make a well in the centre.
Whisk the egg and buttermilk in a jug. Pour into the well and use a flat-bladed knife to mix until the dough just comes together. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and bring the dough together into a ball.
Roll out dough to a 26 x 30cm rectangle. Spread with fruit spread and sprinkle with pecans. Starting from the long side closest to you, roll up to form a log. Cut into 8 slices. Place a slice, cut-side up, in each lined pan. Bake for 25 minutes or until puffed and pale golden. Set aside to cool.

Podcast 636: Tornado Wallace
A soothing session in troubled times.
Tornado Wallace is Lewis Day, one of Melbourne, Australia's key electronic music DJ-producers. You'll be familiar with his work through labels like ESP Institute, Sleazy Beats Recordings, and Gerd Janson's Running Back, where he released his debut album in 2017. After a quiet 2019, at least in terms of releases, he's set to return later this month with Midnight Mania, a mini-album on Optimo Music. It's his first full release since his 2017 EP for Animals Dancing.
Day's earliest musical yearnings developed in his teenage years, when he used his school laptop with a demo copy of Fruityloops and Cool Edit Pro he found in a magazine to make his earliest sketches. He progressed to buy his first hardware, which helped him to make music he felt needed to be heard, and this all led to his earliest outings on Delusions Of Grandeur, purveying a sound heavily shaped by the local house and disco parties he was involved in Melbourne. The result was an almost impossibly funky mid-tempo, sample-heavy house style.
Day's records have broadly continued in this bracket for the best part of a decade. Across his discography, you'll find chugging electro, slick and funky house, and pumping techno, all with a certain Tornado Wallace flavor of once-unfashionable sounds like new age, Balearic, and '80s synth and presented them in new and exciting ways. Demand for his work has taken him all across the world, most recently to North America, where he played the east and west coasts.
This week's XLR8R podcast is a reaction to life on the road, compiled in Day's Berlin studio upon his return. Fittingly, it's as distanced from Day's dancefloor leanings as you're likely to hear him, comprised of downtempo piano jams, sophisticated funk, and even psychedelic rock—a peek behind the curtain of Lewis Day's deeper musical inspirations. Sit down, switch off, and wash your troubles away.
What have you been up to recently?
I've just come back from a North American tour which was super fun. And before that, I was in Australia for a couple of months doing some shows and just generally having a laugh. So now I am back home in Berlin and excited to stay put in Europe for the next while, where I can crack on with some music and get my life a bit more organized.
What can we expect with the new album?
It is very much a mini-LP or extended EP. These are five tracks made for the weirder dancefloors across the planet. The music is inspired by the humid decay and rebirth of the mutating life under the shadows.
What is it that draws you to making and producing music?
It's something that's always been very fun for me to do. Growing up there were always instruments around the house, and they were more like fun toys to play with than anything I had to study or learn. And making music electronically is just the evolution of that. I still have crazy fun doing it and feel super lucky that I get to spend hours of my day doing it.
Where are your favorite places to find new records?
Digitally I usually have a bunch of Discogs, Bandcamp, and Youtube tabs open at any point. Otherwise, I like to hit record stores when I'm traveling. Most cities usually have at least that one store that is kind of a social hub of the local scene, where new music is represented. It's always nice to go there and see the people and look at the posters and flyers and get a whiff of what that city's underground culture is about. And then there's usually one or two infamously quaint second-hand record spots that are generally disorganized, musky, and impersonal. If I get time to hit both sides of the spectrum, that's a pretty nice day out.
When and where did you record this mix?
In the past week at my apartment in Berlin.
How did you select the tracks that you included?
I needed a little break from dance music, so this is a selection of music from records I've come by in the past six months that have had more of a "home-listening" appeal, if you will.
Do you think deeply about your ambitions in music?
I have done so in the past. My expectations have been long exceeded though, so now I am just water in this ever-moving river. And if it one day stops then that's cool too. Life flourishes in stagnant pools.
What's on your horizon for 2020?
There are some remixes coming out soon. And some cool shows and touring. Otherwise, I'll try to be in the studio as often as possible, and working on whatever presents itself to me next. Oh, and do my taxes.

I'm not eating gluten-free right now, but the way she writes is infused with the senses in a way that pulls me in and invites me to want to get into the kitchen and then get out into the world and live.
As we get ready to "go back to school" around here in two weeks and find our way with a new schedule, I've been turning back to Amanda's ebook Zen & the Art of Being a Work-at-Home Mama.

925 sterling silver pearl pendant.
This amazing dragon pendant has space for 1 pearl. We can find dragons in eastern and western mythology, but their symbolic representations are drastically different. In Europe, people portrayed dragons as fire-breathing monsters living underground, where they were guarding treasures. In the Orient, they are seen as mythical beings having magical powers. They symbolize wisdom, longevity, sexuality, fertility, procreation, and regeneration.


Shivraj Singh Chouhan Says Budget Will Help Farmers, Congress Says "Misleading"
Shivraj Chouhan Says Budget Will Help Farmers, Congress Says "Misleading"
Shivraj Singh Chouhan, in a tweet, said, "Agriculture is the lifeline of our country. I welcome government decision to provide 1.5 times of cost as minimum support price (MSP) for Rabi crops. This step will provide a boost to farmer incomes."
Bhopal: Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan today said the union budget would provide a boost to farmers' income. However, the opposition Congress dubbed it as a "misleading budget based on the jugglery of numbers."
He said the cluster farming will help small and marginal farmers.
"Specialised agri processing will help us to utilise well our surplus production and improve realisations for farmers. This budget will also boost organic farming," the chief minister said in another tweet.
The Saubhagya Yojana, providing power connections, will play a crucial role in realising the goal of power for all, he further said.
Lauding the announcement of health schemes, Mr Chouhan said in a tweet, "This is a revolutionary health protection scheme for the poor covering 50 crore of population. This will provide significant relief to poor and vulnerable from high medical expenses, at the same time providing quality healthcare."
"Another landmark initiative taken in the field of education. Allocation of Rs one lakh crore for RISE will give a significant uplift to school infrastructure in India making learning more interactive and efficient(sic)," he said in another tweet.
Shivraj Chouhan also lauded the allocation of a whopping Rs 95,000 crore for the development and welfare of the scheduled castes and scheduled tribes.
The budget would offer a big boost to the MSME sector as the firms with a turnover of Rs 250 crore (previously Rs 50 crore) will now benefit from the lower tax rate of 25 per cent, he said.
This will provide a significant fillip to the industry and investments, he added.
"This budget has harmed the interests of the middle class. This is true BJP type budget, which shattered dreams of the people. This is a misleading budget based on the jugglery of numbers," Leader of Opposition in the state Assembly, Ajay Singh, said.


Environmental portraiture needs certain aspects to be effectively executed. It should be simple with limited distractions, well-composed, well-lit and engaging. Produce those elements and it will translate into strong, impactful imagery. Like landscapes, sports or even wildlife, the recipe for success in your pictures is identical with portraiture. Let me discuss the particulars in each of the images provided to help you get to that next level, whether you're working with your spouse, child or even your pet.
This image of a lovely young lady looking off camera is effective for a number of reasons mentioned previously. First, the composition helps tell an imaginative story to the viewer by showcasing more area to where she's looking. This is not a hard set rule, but when you have a subject looking off, in more cases than not, leaving "room to explore" works well. The subject's face is evenly lit (essential for a female), with that light accentuating skin tones and thus becoming more effective. The background contains elements of an interesting environment and could be construed as "busy," however, by using a small aperture number of 2.8 and making sure nothing is growing out of the young lady's head (something that's overlooked a lot) it only adds to the strength of the story. Lastly, the subject's facial expression is natural and beautiful. Sometimes this is challenging, but it's where a good work ethic comes into play. Be engaging and you'll be rewarded with the same.

Her rock star is waiting in the wings, but will he get a second chance?
It's all change for Sophie Jones—only this time, there is more at stake than just her happiness.
Rock star extraordinaire, Dan Hunter, has been her patient and caring friend through the highs and lows since her wedding day, but now he figures it is time for her to start over. By stealth, the rock singer draws Sophie into the behind-the-scenes work for his band's latest album. Through the days and weeks spent together at the mixing desk, Sophie discovers whole new horizons for her life, yet before she can even begin to explore them, she faces the very real threat of losing her rock star for good.
Nicky Wells is back, and when she came back she came with a bang! Sophie's Encore is everything we could have hoped for with a little more sprinkled on top.
Right from the very beginning I was drawn it. In fact – my jaw hit the table I was sitting at in Costa Coffee. I pulled my phone straight out of my bag and tweeted Nicky "I can't believe it, you went and ….". Now if you want to know what she went and did, well then you will have to go and read the book. Be prepared however to be shocked!
Anyway as you will see from the description of the book, all hasn't not remained rosy in Sophie's garden. The constants in her life though have remained. Dan and Rachel. Dan the man she was in love with once upon a time but who is now one of the people she is closest to and depends on. Rachel her long time best friend and confident. We get to see how the two carry Sophie through her darkest times and how they try to get her to see that her life still has to be lived, regardless if it's the life she imagined she would be living. Whether it's the life she wants to be living.
We watch as Sophie tries to put her families life back together, and watch on as she refuses to see the obvious and risks losing Dan forever. This is most certainly the most emotional of the three books. Parts of which are quite raw and delve into darker more serious issues than the first two. Beautifully written – of course, we would expect no less and full of intimate knowledge and detail of the music business. A lot of care went into the writing of this series and its telling in its authenticity. While I raced through the book I tried to slow down in the last twenty pages or so as I just wasn't ready to let go.
Two things jumped out at me as I put the book away for the last time.
1 – I think Jodie's story has to be told. It's screaming at me from the pages. I think we should petition Nicky Wells to write Jodie's story – what do ye think?
Tanya, thank you so much for fabulous thoughts on Sophie's Encore. I remember tweeting with you all the while you were reading the book, and it was fascinating and exciting to get your real-time reaction to the story. I'm so happy that the novel captivated you as much as the first two!
As for the Trilogy ~ well, it's a novel in three parts, so it's definitely over (for now). HOWEVER! This is only the beginning for me. I'm only just getting warmed up! I have a little something for you before the end of the year, and I have my next full-length novel planned for summer 2014.
Thanks, as always for your fantastic support. It means the world to be here today, and I hope your readers enjoy meeting me, and Sophie and Dan. Rock on!

Solar panel fails to deploy on Telstar 14R satellite
BY STEPHEN CLARK
One of two power-producting solar panels on the Telstar 14R communications satellite launched Friday failed to fully deploy, potentially limiting the craft's planned mission to link North and South America, according to its Canadian operator.

The satellite's north solar array did not fully extend after launch, according to Telesat, the craft's operator based in Ottawa, Canada. Telstar 14R's south solar panel deployed normally is generating electricity.
Telesat says the spacecraft is "stable and is otherwise operating as expected," adding the satellite manufacturer is analyzing data to determine what steps are necessary to overcome the deployment anomaly.
Telstar 14R was built by Space Systems/Loral of Palo Alto, Calif. The satellite is also known as Estrela do Sul 2, meaning "southern star" in Portuguese, because one of its primary coverage zones is over Brazil.
If controllers are unable to resolve the problem, Telesat expects the satellite will support all the existing services provided by Telstar 14, the craft it was supposed to replace.
Telstar 14, also called Estrela do Sul 1, launched in 2004 but was stricken when its north solar array also failed to fully deploy in space. Telstar 14 has been operating only a fraction of its communications payload since then, and Telesat ordered Telstar 14R to replace and expand service from its orbital location in geostationary orbit at 63 degrees west longitude.
Telesat expected Telstar 14R would more than double the communications capacity of Telstar 14. With five beams and 46 Ku-band transponders, Telstar 14R's coverage was to be focused on Brazil, with additional coverage of the Atlantic Ocean, the Andean region and Central America, the southern cone of South America and the continental United States.
Telstar 14R blasted off Friday aboard a Proton rocket from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. The launcher propelled the satellite into an accurate orbit, releasing the craft more than nine hours after liftoff to conclude a successful mission.
When Telesat announced the solar array issue, the spacecraft was executing an orbit-raising campaign with its main engine to reach the planned circular orbit 22,300 miles above the equator.
A subset of Telstar 14R's transponders have the ability to switch between coverage zones, giving Telesat flexibility to respond to changing market demands.

After 17 Years, The Silver Room is Leaving Wicker Park
Czarina Mirani
The Silver Room is finally saying goodbye to Wicker Park, its home for the past seventeen years.
With The Silver Room's lease up for renewal and a pending doubling of the rent, owner Eric Williams is moving his iconic store and community spot south to Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood.
"People here that think Wicker Park is cool," Williams told 5 Magazine. "It's all these corporate people and they want to be a part of that and pay whatever amount to be here now. That space across the street? Eight years ago the rent there was $1200-1300 a month. Now it's $8000."
Hyde Park's gain is Wicker Park's loss. The Silver Room was more than just a clothing store that sold one-of-a-kind silver jewelry, accessories, clothing and music. It was a bastion of culture, cool and ethnic identity. Every summer, Eric along with DJ/Producer Ron Trent would hold the Silver Room Block Party, bringing in some of the biggest acts in House, Hip-Hop and Soul. Artists would paint along the walls, people would dance to three stages of music and a strong sense of community was fostered amongst everybody.
"In Hyde Park, I can now do more art stuff, more cultural events, book readings and signings, poetry events," Williams says, "and I think that Hyde Park will get it even more so. People would tell me that they only come to Wicker Park for The Silver Room.
"Hyde Park is a neighborhood that I'll feel more a part of and more comfortable with. It's university people, it's a little more of a diverse mix, it's older people so I'm really excited about our moving there."
The Silver Room Block Party is No More
What about the fate of the Silver Room Block Party?
"I'm not going to do it!" Williams says. "That block party became a big burden. The first year, me and Ron took extension cords out the window, made a makeshift stage in the alley and Ron played, Jesse de la Pena, Peven Everett, Eric Roberson, Jojo Flores was in town and they all played. We had a lot of fun! The next year Cool Herc played. We've had so many people perform since: Amp Fiddler, Monique Bingham, Lady Alma, Timmy Regisford, Joe Claussell, Danny Krivit, Joi Cardwell…"
As the block party grew from a few hundred to several thousand people, "it became a huge burden because it was never intended to be that big. I can make this thing for the community, but I also wanted a bigger sound system, you need gates, porta potties. It cost a lot of money!
"For the first ten years it was completely free. I mean I lost thousands of dollars. I came out of pocket around $5000 to $7000. A big reason it was so much fun was because there was no big banner with a Coca-Cola logo on it. I was being naive thinking we could actually finance it ourselves.
"My thought process was if we have 5,000 people, and everybody chips in $5, I can throw a good party. But nobody wanted to pay! But then they'll go down to 7-11 and buy 20 cases of liquor. So we went to 7-11 and said, 'Look, you guys are making tons of money off of this. Can you sponsor, can you give us $500, something?' Same thing with Native Foods. Nothing! The people around the neighborhood are making money but I'm doing all the work.
"This thing takes months to plan. I mean it seems very chill and organic but that was intentional. We just kept losing money. No one can pay $5?
"I tried to get some sponsors but they wanted to change what I was doing. I said no, I don't want corny music, this is the music that I want. I'd just rather not do it."
One thing he is doing new is starting what is called the Silver Room Community Card. For $17 you get 17% off any purchase for the entire year. If he can sell a lot of these cards, these can help in funding different projects throughout the year.
Eric will be opening up a small men's store at the 1410 N. Milwaukee location at the end of April, and the newly relocated Silver Room will be at 1506 E. 53rd Street in Hyde Park, opening Thursday April 2nd 2015. In the meantime, The Silver Room will be having its final going away event at its Wicker Park store on Friday and Saturday, March 27 & 28th; you can find out more information at the Facebook event page.

Bryan Fuller candidly discusses his exit as showrunner from Star Trek: Discovery in this week's Entertainment Weekly — including his original ambitious pitch to CBS All Access.
The Hannibal and Pushing Daisies showrunner initially wasn't envisioning a single Trek series, but multiple serialized anthology shows that would begin with Star Trek: Discovery (a prequel to Star Trek: The Original Series), journey through the eras of Captain James T. Kirk and Captain Jean Luc Picard, and then go beyond to a time in Trek that's never been seen before.
CBS countered with the plan of creating a single serialized series and then seeing how it performed. Still, the project was a dream come true for Fuller, who worked on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Voyager and long publicly lobbied for a return of the franchise to television — specifically with a woman of color at the helm.
Yet after starting work on the show, Fuller's relationship with CBS became strained. He objected to the network's choice of David Semel, a veteran of procedurals like Madam Secretary and Code Black, to direct the Discovery pilot (Baby Driver director Edgar Wright tells us he was among those Fuller approached instead).
There were also squabbles over the Discovery budget, with the production eventually going over CBS' original plan to spend $6 million per episode (a number that's either on high side for an original drama series, or a bit lean for an ambitious genre show, depending on who you ask). But perhaps the toughest issue was trying to launch Discovery by February 2017, a date which some felt was unrealistic given the unique world-building demands of a premium sci-fi show.
Yet even that decision ran into a seemingly insurmountable roadblock because AMC would not release the actress until her Walking Dead character died on screen in May. The only way the production could hire Martin-Green was if the show's premiere was delayed, and it had already been delayed once already.
In October, after months of backstage tension, CBS asked Fuller to step down. The company announced he would leave the show to focus on Gods and his reboot of the anthology series Amazing Stories. The captain's chair was filled by Aaron Harberts and Gretchen J. Berg, two writers Fuller had worked with for years.
Yet the piece of Fuller's vision he was most specifically passionate about for so long — casting a woman of color to lead a Trek revival — was achieved. Producers hired Martin-Green a few months after Fuller left. Ironically, it was the production delays that made her casting possible.

We've survived the Ides of March, and the luck of Irish is a mere hours away. The St. Patrick's Day Parade will be rolling and every Irish pub throughout the five boroughs will be pouring out whiskey and Guinness.
But are you forgetting something? Is your Céilí Dancing perfected? Are The Pogues on your phone?
You still could have a huge gap in your celebrations. Have you arranged for your cake to arrive from outer space?
Back in the 1980s, ice cream franchise king Tom Carvel announced what he hoped would be another flourishing Carvel Ice Cream cake product. The cake's name, you ask?
And here's how it got started.
Although franchises can now be found all over the world, Carvel got its start on the East Coast — specifically, Hartsdale, New York in Westchester County. That's where Tom Carvel's ice cream truck got a flat tire during the scorching summer of 1934. The founder ran into a nearby pottery shop to borrow some electricity so he wouldn't lose the half-melted ice cream in his truck.
Many in the business world credit Carvel for creating the concept of "franchise" — however, that soft ice cream he peddled always seemed to be a mixture of myth and fact. As Carvel would tell it, McDonald's took clauses from his franchise contracts to use as they opened throughout the country and then internationally.
When Carvel celebrated its 100th franchise opening in 1951, we learned the founder had a thing for outer space. That's when he introduced the Flying Saucer cookie wafer, which would later become the eyes of Cookie Puss and Cookie O'Puss.
Relationships between the founder and franchise owners were rather strained. Carvel had "gained a reputation as a tough businessman who rode herd on his franchisees, refusing to let them start dealer organizations and forcing them to buy everything from cones to napkins from Carvel at prices they considered inflated," wrote the The New York Times.
And yet, his voice wasn't the only oddity. His commercials would employ talking cakes with alien voices mixed with a 1950s wholesomeness that was singular in its execution. Search for "Carvel Ice Cream" or their product names on YouTube, and you will find an impressive selection.
Carvel's ice cream cakes were a hit, and have become a go-to for nostalgia humor. But these products sold. Most East Coasters who grew up in the 1970s and 1980s will wax amusingly poetic about Fudgie the Whale, Hug Me The Bear … and Cookie Puss, who started showing up in franchise stores during 1972.
The creation of Cookie Puss is, like other Carvel stories, a custard mix of myth and fact. Very few cakes have this much of a back story.
His Irish friend, Cookie O'Puss, started showing up in the 1980s for the St. Patrick's Day holiday.
"Yo man, where's the supervisor at?
I-I got the number anyway baby!
Yet another rumor says that franchise workers created Cookie Puss to resemble the company's founder.
On an icy, post-Nor'easter-that-could-have-been-far-worse day, we stopped into a Carvel location in Brooklyn's Kensington neighborhood. It was time to check out the 2017 Cookie O'Puss.
Mi, who was behind the counter, told us we needed to give the store at least 24 hours notice if we wanted to take home a Cookie O'Puss on St. Patrick's Day.
"We only have one Cookie Puss in stock, but we can change its colors and add the hat," she says.
But it'll cost you. Expect to spend $29.99 for the creamy, crunchy Irish alien from Planet Birthday.
Sláinte, my friends. Just leave me at least one of the eyes. They're the best part.

Well not in Omaha, they're not.
I cannot get through a 15 minute call in the Omaha metro area without the call being dropped at least once. Sometimes it gets dropped two or three times. The call will even be dropped when I have all of my bars showing. Now supposedly the more bars you have, the better signal you have. Whatever!
I moved my best friend Alison, to Evansville Indiana – which is in the middle of nowhere – and I got better reception there! I call customer service repeatedly and they tell me that they haven't made the transition in all areas. Sigh. The reps at the Cingular store try to sell me a new picture phone with – wait there's more – unlimited text messaging! Good grief!
I just want to get through a call without it being dropped. I guess I'll have to move to Evansville.

Maria am Wasser ist eine evangelisch-lutherische Kirche im Dresdner Stadtteil Hosterwitz. Mit ihrem Äußeren, das an den süddeutschen Sakralbau des Barock erinnert, ist sie für die Region Dresden völlig untypisch. Der Kirchhof zählt mit 1.500 Quadratmetern zu den kleinsten Friedhöfen der Stadt. Die Kirche Maria am Wasser und der Kirchhof stehen unter Denkmalschutz und gehörten als Teil der Kulturlandschaft Dresdner Elbtal von 2004 bis 2009 zum UNESCO-Welterbe.

Geschichte

Vorgänger- und Neubau

In Hosterwitz, ursprünglich ein Kirchdorf, das rund 10 Kilometer von Dresden entfernt lag, soll es bereits kurz nach der Christianisierung um 1200 eine hölzerne Kirche gegeben haben. Um 1406 wird erstmals ein Pfarrer von Hosterwitz urkundlich erwähnt. Die Kirche war zu dem Zeitpunkt als Sakralbau nur für die vorreformatorischen Messgottesdienste eingerichtet.

Der heutige Kirchenbau geht der Überlieferung nach auf Dionysius von Carlowitz zurück, der ihn 1495 auf seine Kosten als spätgotischen Hallenbau errichten ließ. Die Kirche wurde um 1500 auf den Namen "Maria am Wasser" getauft. Der Bau war zu der Zeit ein schlichtes Rechteck und niedriger und kürzer als die heutige Kirche. Die Kirche hatte keine Emporen und nur wenige Fenster. Sie wurde vor allem als Fischer- und Schifferkirche genutzt und war bis zur Reformation ein Wallfahrtsort.

Barocker Umbau 1704
Ende des 17. Jahrhunderts entsprach "Maria am Wasser" nicht mehr den Anforderungen der Zeit. Unter Pfarrer Christoph Rüdinger, der in Hosterwitz von 1680 bis 1724 wirkte, wurde der barocke Umbau der Kirche beschlossen. Ab 1698 sammelten die Gemeinde und die Kirchenväter Gelder für den auf 1700 Taler veranschlagten Umbau. Am 26. August 1702 brach die Räuberbande um Lips Tullian in die Kirche ein, in der das gesammelte Geld gelagert wurde, und stahl neben den Einnahmen auch wertvolles Kirchengerät. Zudem demolierten die Männer Teile der Kirche. Die Bande wurde erst 1714 gefasst und im folgenden Jahr hingerichtet.

Durch den Raub kam der für das Jahr 1704 geplante Umbau ins Stocken, da auch nach dem Eintreiben der Kirchenschulden rund 1000 Taler fehlten. Sie mussten 1704 geborgt werden und wurden anschließend bis 1732 beglichen. Im Jahr 1704 begann der Umbau der Kirche, bei dem sie ihre annähernd heutige Gestalt erhielt. Der Altarplatz wurde angebaut, der Kirchturm erhielt die von südlichen Barockbauten beeinflusste Zwiebelform und möglicherweise stammte auch die angebaute Sakristei aus dieser Zeit. Die Kirchturmfahne trägt die Jahreszahl 1741, da in diesem Jahr umfassende Dach- und Turmsanierungen stattfanden. Im Jahr 1774 wurde der Kirchinnenraum erheblich umgestaltet, so wurde der Altar in den neu angebauten Chorraum versetzt und die Kanzel, die sich bisher an der Südseite der Kirche befunden hatte, am Altar angebracht. Dabei gingen Teile des Altars verloren. Das Kirchendach wurde 1790 neu gedeckt; 1822 und um 1900 erfolgten weitere Restaurierungsarbeiten an und in der Kirche, so wurde der Altar farbig gestrichen und neue farbige Glasfenster  eingebaut. Eine Holztaufe aus dem Jahr 1786 erhielt die Hosterwitzer Kirche im Jahr 1930.

Maria am Wasser von 1945 bis heute
Bei der Bombardierung Dresdens im Februar 1945 blieb "Maria am Wasser" unbeschädigt, wurde jedoch drei Monate später von einer Brandbombe getroffen und leicht beschädigt. Von 1972 bis 1973 wurde der Innenraum der Kirche restauriert und die originale Farbgebung in hellem Weiß wiederhergestellt.

Im August 2002 war die Kirche "Maria am Wasser" während des Hochwassers der Elbe für mehrere Tage rund 2 Meter unter Wasser gesetzt. Am 31. August 2003 wurde die mit Spenden und durch zahlreiche Helfer restaurierte Kirche wiedergeweiht. Seit 2006 ist die Kirche "Maria am Wasser" Teil der Nagelkreuzgemeinschaft. Das Nagelkreuz befindet sich links neben dem Altar an der Nordwand der Kirche.

Heute ist der Sakralbau eine beliebte Hochzeitskirche. Es finden regelmäßig Gottesdienste und Konzerte statt. Die Kirche "Maria am Wasser" dient zusammen mit der Pillnitzer Weinbergkirche der Evangelisch-Lutherischen Kirchgemeinde Dresden-Hosterwitz-Pillnitz. Ein Sakralbau ähnlichen Namens ist die katholische Kapelle "Maria am Wege" – die frühere Privatkapelle der Wettiner – die sich unweit der Schifferkirche im Stadtteil Pillnitz befindet.

Baubeschreibung

Äußeres

Das Äußere der Kirche ist schlicht in einem Gelbton und weißen Absetzungen gehalten. Der Hauptzugang zur Kirche erfolgt an der Nordseite durch eine Stichbogentür, über deren Umrahmung sich ein Fries mit einem Schlussstein befindet. Der Fries zeigt Eichenzweige, der Schlussstein besitzt die Inschrift "JESUS" und darüber eine farbige Krone. Ein älterer Zugang durch eine Rundbogentür befand sich an der südlichen Elbseite und ist zugemauert.

Die Ecken der Kirche sind mit einfachen Lisenen eingefasst, die in einem kräftigen Hauptgesims verlaufen. An der Westseite der Kirche befindet sich über einem Giebel der achtseitige Glockenturm in derben Barockformen mit Hohlkehle und sich anschließender Zwiebel. Drei der vier Glocken der Hosterwitzer Kirche wurden 1993 bei Rincker gegossen. Den Turm schließt eine Wetterfahne ab. Bis zur Wetterfahne ist die Kirche 27 Meter hoch.

Inneres

Der Kircheninnenraum wird über hoher Kehle und kräftigem Gesims von einer flachen Decke abgeschlossen. Der Raum wird durch zweigeschossige Emporen an der Nord- und Südseite eingenommen, die aus der ersten Hälfte des 18. Jahrhunderts stammen. Sie bauen sich über derben, einfachen Säulen auf. Die Brüstungen sind dabei in rechteckige Felder geteilt.

Im Westen befand sich ursprünglich ebenfalls eine zweigeschossige Empore. In der zweiten Empore stand die Grabner-Orgel und in der ersten waren die sogenannten "verglasten Stühle", die Betstübchen der Plantagengutbesitzer Herr, eingebaut. Zur ersten Empore der Westwand führte von außen eine doppelte Freitreppe. Im Jahr 1863 erhielt die Kirche eine größere Orgel, für die die Betstübchen abgebrochen wurden. Die neue eingeschossige Orgelempore stammt aus dem Jahr 1863 und nimmt heute die Westseite ein. Die Freitreppe wurde 1896 abgebrochen und im Westen der Kirche eine kleine Vorhalle angebaut. Im Osten gegenüber stehen Altar und Taufstein. Die Kirche bietet Sitzplätze für 382 Gläubige.

Altar und Kanzel

Der Altar wurde 1644 von Conrad Buchau († 1657) aus Sandstein geschaffen. Er wurde 1774 in den Chorraum versetzt und mit der hölzernen Kanzel, die sich bis dahin an der Südseite der Kirche befunden hatte, verbunden. Dabei wurde der mittlere Teil des Altars, der wahrscheinlich die Kreuzigung darstellte, zerstört. Bis zur Renovierung 1930 waren größere Teile des Buchau-Altars erhalten, so das Relief von Jonas, der vom Walfisch ausgespien wird. Es befindet sich heute an der nördlichen Kirchwand im Altarbereich. Vom Buchau-Altar erhalten ist in der Predella ein Hochrelief, das die Abendmahlszene zeigt. Cornelius Gurlitt zählte um 1900 auch die bekrönende Christus-Figur mit der Glaubensfahne zu einem älteren Altar. Weitere Figuren, wie die sitzenden Evangelisten Markus und Matthäus, befanden sich in Giebelnähe über der Kanzel. Diese ist zwei Meter breit und sieben Meter hoch. Der Kanzelkorb ist in gleichförmige Felder geteilt. Auf Konsolen neben den die Kanzel umrahmenden Säulen befanden sich Statuen von Simon Petrus und Johannes.

Der Portikus-Kanzelaltar wurde 1930 renoviert und teilweise erneuert. Dabei wurden die Figuren des Altars bis auf den bekrönenden Christus entfernt. Der Schlussstein der früheren Kanzeltür mit der Jahreszahl 1774 befindet sich heute in der Sakristei.

Taufstein
Der alte Taufstein der Kirche stammt vermutlich aus der Zeit um 1500. Das Becken hat einen Durchmesser von 53 Zentimetern und eine Höhe von 30 Zentimetern und ist in gotischer Form mit Gitterwerk gestaltet. Der Stiel, der das Becken trägt, ist rund 50 Zentimeter hoch. Der Taufstein wird seit 1860 nicht mehr genutzt, steht jedoch nach seiner Restaurierung heute wieder in der Kirche.

Im Jahr 1930 erhielt die Kirche einen Taufstein im Empire-Stil, den ein Bildhauer namens Dost im Jahr 1796 für die Kirche in Lichtenstein geschaffen hatte. Dort war der Taufstein noch Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts in Gebrauch und wurde später in einer anderen Kirche vom Landesamt für Denkmalpflege entdeckt, restauriert und nach Hosterwitz versetzt. Der heute noch genutzte Taufstein steht auf vergoldeten Löwenklauen und zeigt am Taufbecken Puttenköpfe.

Fenster
Die Kirche hat seitliche korbbogenartige Fenster mit tiefen Laibungen, die auf die Anlage vor dem Umbau verweisen. Sie wurden 1774 mit einer kräftigen, heute weißgestrichenen Umrahmung mit Schlussstein versehen.

Die drei Fenster am Altarplatz zeigen innerlich tiefe Laibungen, unterscheiden sich äußerlich in ihrer Form jedoch nicht von den übrigen Fenstern. Die zwei großen Buntglasfenster werden auf 1896 datiert. Ein kleines Fensterbild in einem der Chorfenster stammt aus dem Jahr 1555 und stellt die Kreuzigung dar.

Orgel

Die erste erwähnte Hosterwitzer Orgel war um 1635 ein kleines tragbares Instrument. Im Jahr 1680 wurde unter Pfarrer Gottfried Rüdinger eine neue Orgel bei Orgelmacher Christian Grabner in Auftrag gegeben, die er bis 1682 fertigte. In den folgenden Jahren waren Reparaturen am Instrument nötig, das vor allem nach dem Kirchenumbau 1704 zu Schaden gekommen war. Die Orgel, die acht Register für das Manual und drei für das Pedal hatte, wurde bis 1863 gespielt.

Im Jahr 1862 gab die Gemeinde einen Orgelneubau bei Urban Kreutzbach in Auftrag, der 1863 die alte Grabner-Orgel ersetzte. Die Kreutzbach-Orgel "zeigt in acht Feldern 82 Pfeifen, insgesamt besitzt sie für 18 Register 970 Pfeifen". Im Jahr 1917 mussten die Zinnpfeifen als "Metallspende des deutschen Volkes" zum Einschmelzen abgegeben werden und wurden 1926 durch Zinkpfeifen ersetzt.

Die Orgel hat aktuell (Stand: August 2020) zwei Manuale, Pedal und 17 Register (10-4-3). Die Disposition der Orgel ist in der Orgeldatenbank Sachsen zu finden.

Das Elbhochwasser im August 2002 beschädigte die Orgel schwer. 2004 wurde sie durch die Orgelbau- und Restaurierungswerkstatt Rainer Wolter restauriert und der Prospekt rekonstruiert. Sie wurde im Gottesdienst am Ostermontag 2004 wieder eingeweiht.

Geläut
Das Geläut besteht aus vier Bronzeglocken, der Glockenstuhl und die Glockenjoche sind aus Eichenholz gefertigt.

Im Folgenden eine Datenübersicht des Geläutes:

Kirchenschmuck und Grabdenkmäler
Im Altarbereich an der Nordseite befindet sich ein Gemälde des Hosterwitzer Pfarrers Gottfried Rüdinger, das in Temperafarben und mit Öl übermalt nach dem Tod Rüdingers 1680 geschaffen wurde. Es ist von einem aufwändigen Holzrahmen, "bemalt grün und golden, Lorbeergewinde, über das sich Weinranken legen", umgeben. Unter dem Gemälde befindet sich eine Sandsteindraperie mit oberem Feston, die die Lebensdaten Rüdingers enthält.

Westlich des Gemäldes, neben der Sakristeitür, befindet sich ein Grabstein einer böhmischen Exulantin, die 1660 in Hosterwitz verstarb. Weiter westlich ist eine Gedenktafel für Oberstleutnant Georg Wilhelm Trosche eingemauert. Die einfache Bronzeplatte enthält die Lebensdaten Trosches, der 1694 in der alten Frauenkirche beigesetzt worden war und nach deren Abriss in die Gruft der Hosterwitzer Kirche umgebettet wurde.

Auf der Südseite unter den Emporen befindet sich ein Stein mit der Inschrift "AS 1638". Es handelt sich dabei um den Grabstein des Pillnitzer Schlosspredigers Abraham Steinbach, der 1638 verstarb und in der Kirche "Maria am Wasser" beigesetzt wurde.

Im Altarbereich der Südseite steht das Grabdenkmal der ersten Ehefrau des Pfarrers Rüdinger, Rosina Rüdinger, die 1641 im Alter von 28 Jahren verstorben war. Die 80 Zentimeter breite und 173 Zentimeter hohe Sandsteinplatte zeigt Jesus am Kreuz und am Fuße eine kniende Frau, die die Hände ans Kreuz gelegt hat.

Nicht erhalten ist die bildliche Darstellung des auferstandenen Jesus, die Heinrich von Dörnberg geschaffen hatte, sowie eine Gethsemane-Szene von Johann Traugott Noack.

Kirchhof

Ein Friedhof an der Kirche existierte vermutlich bereits, seit die erste Hosterwitzer Kirche bestand. Seit der Zeit um 1500 wurde der "alte Gottesacker an der Kirche" nachweislich von den Dorfbewohnern als Begräbnisstätte genutzt. Der Zugang zum Kirchhof erfolgt von der Nordseite der Kirchgasse über zwei Rundtore. Auf dem Friedhof mit einer Größe von 0,15 Hektar befinden sich etwa 150 Grabstellen.

Ab 1734 durften auf dem Kirchhof wegen Grabstellenmangels nur noch Mitglieder des kurfürstlichen Hofes und Pastoren der Kirchgemeinde beerdigt werden. Ein zweiter Friedhof, westlich der Kirche 1734 angelegt, wurde wegen häufiger Überschwemmungen 1867 aufgegeben und 1896 säkularisiert. Seit 1870 erfolgen Beerdigungen in Hosterwitz hauptsächlich auf dem dritten Friedhof unweit des Keppschlosses.

Viele der Sandsteingräber des Kirchhofs sind heute nicht mehr erhalten oder durch den Efeubewuchs unleserlich. Eines der künstlerisch bedeutendsten Gräber ist das Sandsteingrabmal für den Silberpagen Christoph Ferdinand von Brandenstein, der 1788 in der Elbe ertrank. Die "derbe wirkungsvolle Arbeit" zeigt auf einer mächtigen Säule mit Inschrifttafel einen weinenden Knaben, der sich mit dem rechten Arm auf ein Gefäß stützt, aus dem Wasser strömt. Die linke Hand hält die Lebensfackel ins Wasser. Seit 2015 erinnert eine von Ole Göttsche geschaffene Gedenktafel an der Außenwand der Kirche an den Komponisten Julius Reubke, dessen Grab sich auf dem Hosterwitzer Friedhof befand und nicht erhalten ist.

Bekannte Persönlichkeiten, die auf dem Kirchhof Maria am Wasser ihre letzte Ruhestätte gefunden haben, sind:
 Kurt Bärbig (1889–1968), deutscher Architekt
 Wanda Bibrowicz (1878–1954), polnische Künstlerin
 Irma Lang-Scheer (1901–1986), Öl-, Aquarell-, Freskomalerin und Glasmalerin
 Rolf Göpfert (1903–1994), deutscher Architekt
 Julius Hammer (1810–1862), deutscher Schriftsteller und Dichter
 Ludwig von Hofmann (1861–1945), deutscher Maler
 Heinrich Klemm (1894–1982), deutscher Maler
 Ernst Alfred Mühler (1898–1968), Professor für Raumkunst der TU Dresden
 Amadeus Webersinke (1920–2005), deutscher Pianist
 Max Wislicenus (1861–1957), deutscher Künstler

Ein Kuriosum, der sogenannte "Schnuff-Stein", befindet sich an der südwestlichen Außenmauer des Kirchhofs. Bei einem Aufenthalt in Hamburg hatte der Komponist Carl Maria von Weber mit seiner Frau von Matrosen einen Kapuzineraffen erstanden, den er Schnuff Weber nannte und in Hamburg und später in Dresden an seiner Seite hatte. Vor allem in Dresden sorgte er mit seinem Haustier für Aufsehen. Dem zahmen Affen widmete der Bildhauer Joachim Zehme ein Epitaph, dessen Reproduktion sich heute versteckt an der Mauer der Hosterwitzer Kirche befindet. Gesonderte Wegweiser leiten Interessierte zum Stein.

Tobias "Theo" Leendert Bamberg (1875–1963) was a professional magician. Born in the Netherlands, Bamberg performed under the name Okito which is an anagram of Tokio (Tokyo). His father had been court magician to King William III of the Netherlands, making Okito the sixth generation in a family of outstanding magicians known as the Bamberg Magical Dynasty.

Early life
Bamberg was the son of Judic Simon Delden and David Tobias Bamberg. His family were Dutch Jews. As a young boy, Theo Bamberg nearly drowned while ice skating. The accident left him almost completely deaf and as a result, he performed entirely in pantomime. As a young man, inspired by a performance of the great French magician, shadowist and mimic Felecien Trewey, Bamberg developed a shadowgraphy routine which he performed professionally, beginning in his early teens.

Early career
In 1893, Bamberg created his first Japanese-style act in Berlin at the age of eighteen. Success was virtually immediate, but he eventually abandoned the show to elope with the theater manager's daughter. Shortly after, his new wife convinced him to change his name from "Tobias/Toby" to "Theodore/Theo". When he returned to performing, Bamberg altered his Japanese act to become a Chinese-style act to better facilitate a new illusion he had designed. Unlike William Ellsworth Robinson who performed as Chung Ling Soo, Bamberg didn't make an attempt to hide his European identity.

February 1907 brought the birth of his son David Bamberg (who would later perform under the Stage name Fu Manchu) in England. Bamberg and his family eventually moved to The United States of America where, beginning in 1908, Okito worked as an off-stage assistant/advisor and on-stage feature in the shows of illusionist Howard Thurston. On the Thurston show, he was billed as "Europe's Greatest Shadowist."

Later career
In 1909, through SAM, Bamberg had become friends with other notable magicians including Clement de Lion, Nate Leipzig, and many others. Frustrated with his lack of success, Theo sold his Okito act to a Brooklyn magician and plumbing contractor, W.J. "Doc" Nixon. It was in that year that Bamberg opened, with partner Joe Klein, the Bamberg Magic & Novelty Co. in New York City. The company was the primary representative of the German firm of Carl Willmann. While minding the store and toying with a pillbox, Bamberg invented his famous Okito box used to perform coin magic.
Eventually, Bamberg returned to the road (playing vaudeville and variety theatres), selling his interest in the shop to Klein. Bamberg's skills were such that existing handmade props created by Bamberg are highly prized by collectors today. Many of Okito's props were described by Robert Albo in his Classic Magic with Apparatus and The Ultimate Okito series.

Eventually, Doc Nixon gave Theo the "Okito" title back. Discarding the old act, Okito built many larger effects that would make him into a legend. When he returned to Europe, success finally found him. He traveled the world working large prestigious contracts. He was reunited with his son David and made him his assistant like his father did and his father's father as well.

Following a South American and European tour in 1932, Theo decided to settle down and he returned to the Netherlands. Meanwhile, David had established himself in South America and persuaded his father to come and visit him. Okito did so just as the Nazis invaded Belgium and the Netherlands. As a result, all of his possessions were either confiscated or destroyed. Theo Bamberg, known as Okito and frequently billed on posters as The Mystic ended his last years in Chicago where he won the friendship, respect and admiration of everyone interested in magic. and died in 1963.

Squash Publishing is scheduled to release an anthology of selected Okito tricks, illusions, reminiscences and his never-before-published hand shadow routine.

History in a Seashell
Named after Englishman George Sargent, from Cornwall, England who settled near here in 1834 and bought land near Caney Creek sometime later.
Caney Creek had been navigable and Sargent, a rancher and cotton grower was able to run the Union blockade to ship his beef and cotton. The Sargent family survived the war and in 1875 George�s son John drove a herd of 3,000 head all the way to Abilene.
During John�s absence a hurricane struck (one of the ones that destroyed Indianola) and although he was in time to save his children from the flood, both his father and wife had drowned.
A post office opened in Sargent in 1912 and in the mid 1920s the population was still a mere 23 people. Development of the area fell on the shoulders of Abel B. Pierce of the Pierce Ranch who built a cotton gin and housing units for his workers in 1930. Pierce had constructed the area�s first roads a few years earlier.
By the eve of WWII, Sargent had 80 residents served by four business. The post office closed sometime in the mid 1940s but was back in operation by the mid 1980s. Sargent�s population remained below 100 for the 1990 Census but has increased to 300 for the 2000 count.

Photographer's Note
The map show Sargent as about six miles from the Gulf Coast but it is really little settled areas all the way to the coast, ending with the side-swing bridge. Across the Intercoastal Waterway has been almost completely eroded away in the last 50-60 years. The bridge operator told me there used to be a lot of houses on the other side. I talked with the operator for maybe thirty minutes but didn't get to see the bridge swing. - Barclay Gibson, August , 2009

Historical Marker Text
During the Civil War (1861-65), Federal forces tried several times to seize Texas ports. Galveston was taken on October 5, 1862, but recaptured by a Confederate army on January 1, 1863. Lt. Dick Dowling's troops stopped a Federal invasion at Sabine Pass on Sept. 8, 1863.
Another thrust began on November 7, 1863, when a Federal expedition under Maj. Gen. N. P. Banks seized Brownsville, then moved up the coast, capturing Corpus Christi, Aransas Pass, Pass Cavallo, and Port Lavaca (Dec. 26). Maj. Gen. John B. Magruder, Confederate commander of Texas, ordered fortification of the mouth of Caney Creek in an attempt to halt the invasion. In Jan. 1864, an earthen fortress, rifle pits, trench works, and four redoubts were erected near this site. Defended by 4000-6000 Confederates, the area was bombarded by Federal gunboats during January and February.
No ground combat occurred at Caney Creek, but the preparations deterred a further Federal advance. In March 1864, Gen. Banks moved most of his troops to Louisiana and launched an unsuccessful invasion along Texas' eastern border. Removal of Federal forces from key Texas ports allowed blockade runners to continue transporting needed materials to Civil War Texas.

Master of Business Administration, popularly known as MBA is a highly prestigious two year professional degree program which prepares students for mid and senior level management positions in both private and public sector organizations. Currently, one of the most popular professional degree program in India enjoying an unprecedented popularity, an MBA program from a top class business school exposes you to different areas of business like marketing, accounting, finance, human resources, operations, IT, etc. MBA program of well-established business schools are driven by entrepreneurship, innovation and collaboration. Management graduates as such from these top of the line business schools are considered to be a prized asset who can develop efficient solutions to emerging global business challenges. An MBA degree as such from a top level management institute can open new vistas of career opportunities for you with a financially rewarding and mentally stimulating job in myriad number of sectors like finance, banking, insurance, construction, IT, etc.
An MBA degree from a well-established institute is usually considered to be a harbinger of good job with plenty of perks thrown in. The return on investment (ROI) is fast and the offers from top level corporations are likely to be plenty. However, before you start building castles in the air, it is very important to remind you that obtaining an MBA degree from a reputable business school is not the easiest of tasks. The competition is fierce and the seats are few. Top MBA colleges in Gwalior or for that matter top business institutes anywhere in India receive applications for admission which is way-way above their intake capacity. A top class management school for exam0le, with a total intake capacity of 60 seats on an average is likely to receive as much as 4000-5000 applications from MBA aspirants.
It shows how tough the competition is and how much hard work you have to put in to secure a right to study in an MBA program which is collaborative, relevant and cutting-edge, combining your aspiration and vision with a unique learning experience. Also, the tuition fee for this post graduate degree in management is on the higher side making this professional degree program a serious investment of time and money. It is therefore of utmost importance that you invest some time and other resources looking for a management institute which can do justice to your talent, aptitude and skill sets.
There is no dearth of fly by night operators in education sector who are just in the business to make some quick money. An MBA degree is highly popular in India with people generally equating with rewarding prospects of high paying job and good carer progression.
With so many top management institutes in Gwalior to choose from, the whole process can be quite overwhelming and you may not know where to start. We present few of the important deciding factors which could help you find that best business school which offers a perfect match between your career aspirations and your skill sets.
Major business magazines or journals often come up with their yearly rankings of the business schools. They take into factor various criterions and assign different weightage to important characteristics of a business school like its reputation, quality of its faculty, infrastructure, academic environment, placement opportunities, average salaries of its graduates, etc. Assigning different weightages to different factors can often confuse MBA aspirants. For example, a large variation in business school rankings, often leads to questions and concerns about the validity of these rankings.
This is precisely the reason we suggest that you should pay attention to the rankings of a business school but this should not be the sole criteria by which you accept or reject a business school. A good way of arriving at a logical conclusion about how valid the ranking of a business school is by considering the consistency with which a particular schools fall within a given range over the past five years. For example, if XYZ Institute of Management is consistently finding a mention in 'Top Ten' lists of various newspapers, magazines and journals for the past two to three years; it is a good indication about the quality of the business school.

Huawei phone with 32MP front camera, 3,900 mAh battery listed on TENAA
Upcoming smartphones undergo a number of certifications before they are marked cleared for launch and so on. Such authority is TENAA which is a Chinese regulatory certification where smartphones bearing model number SPN-AL00 and SPN-TL00 have appeared. According to GSMArena, the said model numbers are believed to be of Mate 30 Lite and/or Nova 5i Pro where the latter is released before the Mate 30 series is released.
Per the certification, the said phone sports a dimension of 156.1×73.9×8.3mm weighing at 178 grams and has a 6.26-inch IPS display that supports by 16 million colors thanks to its 2340×1080 pixel resolution. The device will be available in the Huawei-styled Aurora and Magic Night Black colors which we have already seen with a number of smartphones from both Huawei & Honor previously.
Via GSMArena
Next bit of information that we intercepted thanks to the TENAA listing is that the device will run on Android 9.0 Pie with the skin of EMUI 9.0 which is a customized UI from Huawei, which is often hailed as one of the fastest alongside OnePlus' OxygenOS. Furthermore, the device will run on a 3,900 mAh Li-Po or Li-Ion battery which is still higher than OnePlus 6/6T and even OnePlus 7 for comparison.
The listing also revealed that this phone will have an octa-core processor clocked at a maximum of 2.2 GHz and since Huawei uses its in-house Kirin SoC, there's no doubt that the device will have an octa-core Kirin chipset onboard along with 6GB or 8GB of RAM options and finally, 128GB or 256GB of internal storage variants are available as well.
The said listing reveals that there will be a Penta-camera system with 32MP front sensors. Finally, there will be a 48MP primary, 8MP secondary, and two 2MP sensors (probably a depth and ToF sensors) that will make up a quadruple camera set up at the back.
We don't know if it is either Mate 30 Lite or Nova 5i Pro as said since we don't have any images alongside the TENAA listing. We will have to wait for some more time to get information about the same.
