Fighting counterfeits to protect patients
In principle, any consumer product can be counterfeited, be it medicines, spare parts for computers and cars, or clothes, food or watches.
Whereas purchasing a fake watch may result in criminal prosecution and a fine for the buyer, illegal medicines jeopardise the health of consumers and, at worst, can even cost them their lives. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), counterfeit medicines result in up to a million deaths per year.
There is no uniform definition of the word "counterfeit". Ultimately, the consequences for the consumer are what matters most. Frequently the active substances are present in insufficient quantities or not at all. Fake drugs are often nothing but sugar pills or vials of water. Even worse, many counterfeiters make medicines with the wrong active substances or dilute them with dangerous binding agents. In the context of lifestyle drugs, replacing the originals with sugar pills simply means an unsatisfied customer. For patients whose lives depend on prescription medicines, however, the consequences of counterfeiting are dramatic.
Pius Waldmeier is Head of the Global Roche Anti-Counterfeiting Commission (GRACC), established in 2004. The commission is made up of a team of experts from all different functions who campaign to bring counterfeit medicines to light around the world and prevent them from entering the official supply chain. The Commission's number one priority is to protect patients. It defines strategies for combating counterfeiting, theft and unauthorised parallel imports, coordinates investigations into counterfeit drugs and handles follow-up activities. Pius is concerned about recent developments, which have seen the market for counterfeit products expand as a result of globalisation and internet sales: "In the past, counterfeit products were manufactured in garages and back yards in relatively small quantities. The fakes were often unsophisticated, making them easier to identify. Today, factories with an impressive number of employees and state-of-the-art technology and equipment are capable of manufacturing and packaging deceptively genuine-looking counterfeits."
The scale of the counterfeit medicines business is making it increasingly difficult to control. We are doing our best to prevent fake medicines from getting into the official supply chain and to the patient.
Counterfeit Roche products appear on the black market on a regular basis. A large quantity of counterfeit Immunsupresium was seized in China last year, for example, and a case involving a cancer drug came to light at a clinic in Ecuador.
We have added numerous security features so that the staff of clinics and pharmacies can identify counterfeits with the aid of special technology. However, these measures are not sufficient, says Pius: "To save space – in fridges, for example – hospitals often store medicines unpackaged – important information is lost. If in clinics the waste is not disposed of carefully, the empty boxes may be stolen, sold and filled with counterfeit medicines that are then brought onto the market."
Gottlieb Keller, Roche General Counsel, points out the company's responsibility: "Roche takes every single suspicion of falsification very seriously and continuously endeavours to make its products more counterfeit-proof. What is needed most of all, however, is consistent action from legislators, the police, the customs authorities and the healthcare sector. There must be no compromises when it comes to patient safety."
But we can't go into battle alone. Cecilia Fant, Pharmaceutical Security Institute (PSI), is cooperating closely and regularly with the representatives of GRACC: "Fake medicines endanger patients around the world. The PSI was established to address this problem over twenty-five years ago. Today, the team at Roche works diligently with its partners in the PSI and law enforcement agencies in multi-national efforts to identify and disrupt criminal organizations manufacturing, distributing and selling unsafe medicines."
To increase safety, in the European Union from February 2019, all prescription medicines will be provided with legally required safety features. These will allow a complete tracing and to test the authenticity of a product.
Together with all partners, we are fighting a difficult battle: "We are only one step ahead of the counterfeiters, and they are doing everything they can to catch up. That is why we must remain vigilant in the fight against drug counterfeiting and regularly add new security features to our products" Pius says.
All over the world counterfeit medicines count for an estimated one to three percent of medicines in circulation in developed countries and significantly more than 50% in some African countries. Many of these medicines are produced in Asia (mostly in China and India) in large quantities and circulated around the world via various distribution channels, such as illegal online pharmacies, around half of whose medicines are counterfeit. Even the closure of thousands of websites has failed to significantly reduce the sale of medicines over the internet. Punishments for counterfeiters are hardly a deterrent as they are far too mild in many countries.

When moving property, it can be a very exciting yet confusing time – there is a lot to deal with and many different processes you have to follow and complete before everything can be done and you can sell your property. This means that learning how to sell property in Texas is going to be important to the smooth completion of the entire process, otherwise it could take longer than you can want or afford.
Is it for financial reasons?
Is it for work reasons?
Do you want your children to grow up elsewhere?
Do you and your family want a fresh start?
This makes deciding if moving is really for you. You do not want to sell your property if you have unclear motives or goals for the process. You must be able to detach yourself from the property and get ready to move, you need to think about your property as a commodity and an investment.
When deciding the price of your property, there are a raft of decisions and eventualities you must consider. How strong is the market? How desirable is the area in Texas you live in? How much work does the property need?
These are all things you should be considering about your property as you look to sell it. Remember that setting the price too high could scare away buyers, so you need to consider not only your only goals and limits, but the market itself and what others are willing to pay. If you are in need of advice, we highly recommend you speak to a professional regarding your property, as you can get fantastic consultations from experts who can provide you with a full report of your property, so you can list full and detailed listings and get the best price possible.
Preparing your property for a showing is especially important. You cannot underestimate how big this is – you need your property to sparkle. Showing your property off to its highest potential is how to sell property in Texas, it gives off the approach that the buyer is looking for – it reels them in quickly and does not disappoint afterwards.
Many propertys are mediocrely maintained, unfortunately, so if you can keep your property in good condition and ensure that it is spotless for the arrival of any potential buyers, you could put yourself ahead of the market or even the up the value ever so slightly should it shine enough.
Remember that the quality of the property is matched by how it looks on arrival, so first impressions are extremely important!
Once you have dazzled enough viewers that you get a bid that suits you, then you can start the process to sell your property. Remember that everybody will try to get the best deal possible, so be prepared for some negotiation on pricing structures and final fees.
Once you are happy with the prices and terms from both parties, you can have the contract drawn up by a lawyer. Any offer in writing has to be legally checked and is therefore legally binding, any oral offers do not count legally so be sure to get any offer you want to proceed with in writing.
Remember that not everybody is out to undercut you or scam you – there will be genuine buyers who will look to haggle with you because they need the money to upgrade the property. Do not take any suggestions of a lower fee personally or as an attack on your property, it could just be the limit of their offering power.
Once the buyer has inspections scheduled concluded and they are happy with the property then you can start to close proceedings. Ensure that all financing is in place before things start to move forward, too, as this could hold things up and then there could be problems down the line. Ensure they have the money or have been qualified for a loan to buy your property.
When everything is all sealed and done, and the right documents have been filed with your lawyer, then you can finish proceedings by requesting a HUD1 Statement Sheet from your buyer. This helps you keep track of everything. If you need any help with any of the documents that need processed – your lawyer will be able to tell you what documents you will need, as it can vary – then you will be able to sell your property in Texas with ease and move on to your next location!

ZANESVILLE, Ohio – It was a morning filled with bowling and good company at the Sunrise Strikes bowling alley.
Saturday, February 9th was the 3rd Annual Strike Out Breast Cancer Tournament that the Zanesville USBC hosted. The purpose of the event is to celebrate those who have survived breast cancer and honor those who have not.
Hildenbrand said this event is her way of giving back to the community and supporting others who are going through what she has experienced. There was a cash prize for the winner of the tournament as well as other games and a silent auction to participate in.
"Some fun bowling, yes there is prize money but it's a fun time and just fellowship. We have ball raffles, we have 50/50," Hildenbrand said.
This event has been an emotional journey for Hildenbrand because when this event first began she was going through the experience of chemo and fighting breast cancer. All of the proceeds raised at the event will be donated to the Zanesville Cancer Center.

California Grill, located in Disney's Contemporary Resort, is truly a magical dining experience. We were fortunate enough to reserve a table for our celebratory, post-race dinner after this year's Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend. My sister and I always like to plan on eating somewhere new or special after race day so we can celebrate our hard work. This year, since we ran all three races, totaling 22.4 miles, we decided that we needed someplace extra special to celebrate and the newly renovated California Grill was the perfect spot. Everything about this restaurant screams, "signature dining"—from the sleek check in desk on the second floor to the attentive service you receive from the staff. This is truly one dining experience you don't want to miss!
Our dining party consisted of myself, my husband, my five kids (ages 2, 5, 8, 10 &13), my mom, dad, and sister, Becca. Whenever we all dine together, I always have this sinking feeling that nags in the back of my brain. Larger parties tend to get less than stellar service. It can be overwhelming for wait staff to meet the needs of so many people at once (and people with vegetarian diets, too) and the kitchen staff always has trouble making sure the food comes out together. So what usually happens when we eat out is that either we get to eat in shifts or half of our dining party gets food that has been siting around for a while. And most of the time, we sit with empty glasses, awaiting a refill. So while I was incredibly excited to dine at California Grill, I was a little worried that despite it's signature status, we would get less than signature food and service despite the signature prices. Much to my (and my family's) amazement, California Grill lived up to its status, even with our party of 10!
The evening began when we checked in at the restaurant's check in desk, located on the second floor of Disney's Contemporary Resort promptly at 5 p.m. After just a short wait, Nick escorted us to the 15th floor via the "secret elevator". So the secret elevator part was pretty cool. It makes the whole experience seem much more mysterious and exclusive. The elevator doors open up to the reception desk where several friendly cast members were awaiting our arrival. The restaurant is actually quite spectacular with its modern décor, wall of wine, and the entire west side of the restaurant is composed of windows. The hostess showed us to our table that was on the west side of the restaurant—right against the windows.
This offered us an incredible view of Disney's Magic Kingdom® and the Seven Seas Lagoon. Once we were seated and had our menus in hand, our waiter appeared to offer guidance on choosing our entrees. One of the things I loved the most was the fact that our waiter used the word "we" when describing what the restaurant had to offer—as in "We have the best sushi" or "We make our steak……". It clearly demonstrated his enthusiasm and his sense of ownership within the restaurant. That, to me, really shows the superb quality of the establishment. The waiter also noted the "food allergy" that was attached to our reservation. While we do not have an allergy, we do have several vegetarians in our group and unfortunately, Disney has yet to offer this as one of the choices under dietary concerns when making the reservation. You have to simply select the "other" option and then explain things once you get to the restaurant. It can be a little bit of a hassle, but making sure our food does not contain meat or cooked on surfaces that have previously cooked meat is important. Our waiter was so great and was able to offer several choices for both kids and adults that were entirely meat-free.
With such a large party we were able to sample a good portion of the menu. Since this restaurant is known for its sushi, my husband decided to order the Spicy Kazan Roll as an appetizer to share. I, obviously, did not partake, however it was beautifully presented and those who did sample it, said it was not only delicious but tasted very fresh. I chose the Sonoma Goat Cheese Ravioli. The waiter was able to offer this as an entrée portion, even though it is listed as an appetizer. Filled with goat cheese, this ravioli was served in a tomato/fennel broth and topped with crispy mushrooms. This was probably the BEST entrée I have ever eaten while at Walt Disney World®. It was filling without being heavy and the flavors worked so well together.
Other entrees enjoyed at our table included the Seafood Stew, the Atlantic Swordfish and Atlantic Flounder, and Oak Fired Filet of Beef. Our table was silent for a full 15 minutes while we devoured our meals. Everything was delicious and most importantly came out of the kitchen together while still hot and fresh. Plus, our water and wine glasses were never more than half empty during our entire visit. Perfect!
Once our dinner plates had been cleared, it was time to talk dessert. Even though we were not using the Disney Dining Plan (my parents and my sister were), I was not going to pass up on sampling one of these delectable treats. My husband and I decided to split the Chocolate Pudding Cake. It was incredible. It was more of a truffle texture rather than a cake-y taste, but it was unbelievable. It was served with meringue kisses and homemade mint marshmallows. My sister ordered the Sundae Sampler, which consisted of three mini deserts: a Frangelico toffee, a reverse root beer float (served with home made cream soda—in a cute little bottle) and a banana split. My sister said it was wonderful. There is something about the mini deserts that is so very appealing. I thin k it is the fact that you get a taste of a couple different things and the kid in me likes the idea of being able to have three desserts. My dad ordered the Vanilla Crème Brulee. I'm guessing he thoroughly enjoyed it as he had the dish cleaned before anyone even had a change to ask him for a bite.
While California Grill offers great food in a spectacular atmosphere, part of the draw to the restaurant comes well after the plates have been cleared. The restaurant offers an incredible view of Wishes from both the restaurant and the observation deck. Guests dining during Wishes will be able to enjoy the show right from their table, as the restaurant lights are dimmed and the music is piped in. Guests who have reservations before or after the show are invited to watch from either the observation deck or the California Grill Lounge. Since our reservations were for 5p.m. and Wishes began at 8 p.m., we had a little time to wander around Disney's Contemporary Resort before heading back up to the restaurant for the show. Unfortunately for me, my daughter wasn't feeling well and wanted to go back to our resort, so I did not get to see the fireworks that night. The rest of my family, however, did get to enjoy the show from the observation deck. Although it was a bit windy and chilly that night, they said it was a phenomenal view and made for a perfect ending to the most marvelous meal.
California Grill accepts the Disney Dining Plan and it is two table service credits per person. They also accept Tables in Wonderland discount. Reservations are recommended and can be made up to 180 days in advance. If you are looking for a great way to celebrate or maybe just to try something unique, I highly recommend reserving a table at California Grill. Great food, relaxing atmosphere, and spectacular view make this restaurant one that I cannot wait to visit again!

Bedrock Falls is very scenic and makes a great photo subject. It's the only waterfall on upper Whitewater River that you can view well without wading or scrambling on the rocks. The large expanse of flat rocks at the base is great for lounging. As with most of the other upper Whitewater waterfalls, the name comes from the boating community. It's often listed as Bedrock Betty Falls, but Bedrock Falls seems to be the more common usage.

13 Sept. Idibus Septembris, (Page 356)
Apud Tolemato pagum, in Florida Americae, Fassio Servi Dei Petri de Corpa, Sacerdotis et Martyris, qui dum Missam celebraturus ad ecclesiam ergeret, ab infidelibus proditorie impetitus, capite plexus est.
In the village of Tolomato in Florida, America, the passion of the Servant of God Pedro de Corpa, Priest and Martyr, who while he was on his way to the church to celebrate Mass was treacherously attacked by infidels and beheaded.
This succinct statement is basically an accurate one-sentence summary of the information contained in Oré's accountas the basis for the historical analysis.2 The circumstances of Fray Pedro's death have been described above.as the basis for the historical analysis.3
The site of the slaying is indicated as the Indian village of Tolomato, further identified as being (then) in Florida. Today the area is in the State of Georgia, but the actual site of the slaying has not been established with certainty. One possibility is that it was on the Darien Bluff near the place which later was to be occupied by Fort King George, at the confluence of the Lower Bluff Creek and Black Island Creek at the mouth of the Altamaha River. By another hypothesis, the site of the Tolomato mission is on the Sutherland Bluff on the bank of the Sapelo River between the White Chimney River and the Bororo River, about three miles due south of the Shellman Bluff settlement. Oré makes mention of a foundation in Tolomato and another in Tupiqui in the early 1580's as the basis for the historical analysis.4
15 Sept. Decimo Kalendas Octobris, Page 359)
Apud Asao, in Georgia Americae, passio Servi Dei Francisci de Veráscola. Sacerdotis et Martyris, qui a furientibus indigenes crudelissime trucidatus est.
At Asao, in Georgia, America, the passion of the Servant of God Francisco de Veráscola, Priest and Martyr, who was most cruelly slaughtered by raging natives.
Under date of September 15, the first entry of the day recalls the martyrdom of Fray Francisco de Veráscola. The personal history, the missionary experiences of Fray Francisco, and the circumstances of his death at his Mission on Asao have been adequately described already.5
In the Martyrologium Franciscanum the day assigned to the slaying of Fray Francisco de Veráscola is the second in the series of the four separate entries referring to the Five Martyrs of Georgia. In our analysis of these four episodes, however, of set purpose we have assigned the last place to this happening. By this relatively minor transposition in the chronology, the sequence of events as presented in the more carefully organized primary sources – and presumably also in fact – is better maintained.
The reason for this suggested modification is, firstly, that Oré's Relación Histórica, the most reliable and the best-organized of the sources of our information about the slayings, recounts this episode as the last in the series. Moreover, the internal logic of the events demands such a sequence. The rebels, having first killed Fray Pedro at Tolomato on September 14, almost necessarily would direct their murderous attention to the neighboring mission at Tupiqui before moving to either one of the two remaining missions where they were expecting to find victims, that is, to Guale (St. Catherines) Island or to Asao (St. Simons) Island. Most telling against the sequence of events as suggested by the dating in the Martyrologium – which would make the slaying of Fray Francisco come immediately following that of Fray Pedro at Tolomato – is the matter of logistics. Of all the mission stations Asao was the most distant from the center of hostile operations; the time which would have been needed to travel to Asao, the most remote of the missions from the center in Guale, would have opened the possibility that the Spaniards meanwhile might organize some form of resistance and reprisal, and so the plan to eliminate entirely the friars' work would be endangered. For that reason, the rebels logically determined to eliminate next Fray Blas at Tupiqui, as Oré's account implies.
16 Sept. Decimo sex to Kalendas Octobris, (Page 361)
Apud Topoqui pagum, in Florida, passio Servi Dei Blasii Rodríguez de Monte Sacerdotis et Martyris, qui, celebrato Missae Sacrificio, coram altari genujlexus, a barbaris indigenis immanissime trucidatus est.
In the village of Tupiqui, in Florida, the passion of the Servant of God Blas Rodríguez de Monte, Priest and Martyr, who after having celebrated the sacrifice of the Mass, kneeling before the altar, was most cruelly slain by barbarian natives.
In its directness this proclamation of the martyrdom of Fray Blas Rodríguez does not contradict, in any notable way, the account given by Oré, though necessarily it omits many details which enhance the story. It does not mention the martyr's request, which surprisingly the Indians honored, to be allowed to offer Mass, or his loving gesture in distributing among the faithful who had gathered around him the small objects he had for his personal use. It omits his noble words accepting his imminent death, and his exhortation to the rebels (among whom he recognized some of those he had instructed and baptized in the Faith) that they seek God's pardon for their evil deed. After two days of preparing for death, according to Oré's account, Fray Blas was slain with a blow of a stone hatchet, which caused his brains to spill out on the ground.6
Cited in the proclamation as the place of the martyrdom is Tupiqui, the Indian village on the mainland, only about 15 kilometers from Tolomato, where the first slaying had taken place. It is in the present State of Georgia, though at the time of the slaughter the whole region was called La Florida by the Spaniards. As was Tolomato, Tupiqui was one of the missions longer established in the province of Guale. It is thought to have been situated at a bend of South Newport River, not far from Espogache, the seat of the chief of the Guale Indians. It is tentatively placed in northeastern McIntosh County, directly inland from Oldinar Island and Cedar Hammock, near Eulonia.
It would not have been difficult for the rampaging Indians to go through the woods from Tolomato to Tupiqui, to arrive there on September 14, the day following the slaughter of Fray Pedro. The date assigned by the Martyrology for the death of Fray Blas, September 16, agrees neatly with the description of events supplied by Oré, who speaks of a first encounter ( very likely on September 14) between the missionary and his future assassins, and then his actual murder two days later (September 16). During the two-day interlude, while the bloodthirsty natives were discussing their future actions and laying plans for their conquests, the missionary had time to prepare devoutly and calmly for the imminent sacrifice of his life.7
The name of the Servant of God as given in the Martyrology is Blas Rodríguez de Monte. It is only in this Martyrology that we have found the surname of this friar as here indicated: Rodríguez de Monte. In no early account is he so called. Seemingly the editors of the Martyrologium Franciscanum adopted this solution for a troubling problem traceable to Torquemada's account of the martyrdom. The early authors – Oré, Daza, Serrate – call him Fray Blas Rodríguez; Torquemada calls him Fray Blas de Montes. At the time of the events of 1597 there was indeed in La Florida a friar by the name of Fray Blas de Montes, who had arrived with the group of new missionaries in that year, 1597. That he was not the martyr, however, we know from the fact that he was delegated to accompany Governor Canzo and the military expedition which, after the Revolt, set out to discover and apprehend the rebels who had slain the five missionaries.8
17 Sept. Decimo Quinto Kalendas Octobris, (Page 362)
In Amelia, insula Floridae, passio Servorum Dei Michaelis de Añon, sive de Oceania, Sacerdotis, et Antonii de Badajóz, Laici, qui iteratis clavae ictibus in capite percussi, hostiae suavissimae ante altare pro Christo occubuere.
On Amelia Island in Florida, the passion of the Servants of God Miguel de Añon (or de Oceania), a Priest, and Antonio de Badajóz, a Lay Brother, who in front of the altar as most pleasing victims died for Christ as the result of repeated blows of a cudgel on the head.
Under date of September 17, in the fifth proclamation of the day, the 1938 edition of the Martyrologium Franciscanum cites Fray Miguel de Añon and Fray Antonio de Badajóz. The two Servants of God, who were stationed at the one mission, were put to death on the same occasion. On the strength of the documents bearing on the Cause, however, it is certain that the martyrdom did not take place on Amelia Island, but rather on St. Catherines Island. St. Catherines, known also as Guale, is some 50 or 60 kilometers to the North of Amelia and in what is now the State of Georgia. The correct indication of place ought therefore to read: "On St. Catherines Island in Georgia."
All the contemporary documents bear out the truth that the slaying of these two friars took place on Guale (i.e., St. Catherines) Island. Oré in his Relación says that the site of this double act of violence was Guale Island near Tolomato (la isla de Guale, que estaba cerca);9 as a matter of fact, the northern reaches of St. Catherines Island lie directly east of Tupiqui; and Tolomato was on the Sound which was the water-highway leading to the mission on Guale. Also Oré says that the body of Fray Miguel was buried at the foot of the large mission-cross which he had erected, and that six years later the bones were removed and taken to San Agustin.10 Neither in 1597 nor in 1603 did a mission exist on Amelia. The extensive excavations currently being carried out with spectacular success on St. Catherines have proved the presence there for many decades of a flourishing mission.
The date assigned in the Martyrology, September 17, agrees with the best sources. Even though no contemporary source explicitly identifies the day and the month, in the sequence of the four different acts of violence that date fits in quite neatly and logically. Accepting September 14 as the time of the slaying of Fray Pedro and the outbreak of the Juanillo Revolt, followed by the slaying of Fray Blas on the morning of the 16th, the chronology points to the 17th as the day when the rebels landed on Guale (St. Catherines) Island. The time required to travel by canoe from Tupiqui to Guale would not have been more than several hours.
All indications are that the rebels, once on the island, lost no time in dispatching the victims, for they had previously sent word to the local cacique that the two missionaries were doomed to be killed. The friendly local chief had informed the friars of the plan to kill them, urging them to accept his help in heading to the safety of the mission of San Pedro to the south (on present-day Cumberland Island). Declining, the priest and the lay brother had calmly prepared themselves for death, Fray Miguel celebrating Mass, at which, we presume, Fray Antonio communicated the Sacred Host.11
The surname of Fray Miguel is here given as de Añon sive de Oceania. Preferring to cite the two ape!ativos which are variously used for this martyr, the editors seem to be resorting to a compromise in the face of a persistent dilemma. Among the early sources we find a similar ambiguity. In Oré, as edited by Lopez, Fray Miguel is consistently called de Aunon; Omaechevarria, however, makes a point of correcting that to de Añon. We have accepted the latter form, de Añon, as does the Martyrologium which in Latin reads de Anon, presumably de Añon being intended. It has not yet been clarified as to whether that appellation is a family name or merely a toponym; if a place-name, the question is further complicated by the fact that there seem to be three places in Spain called Añon – a municipality in the Province of Saragossa, and two villages in the Province of Coruña; as well as one place called Aunon in the Province of Guadalajara. And in the Province of Toledo there is a place called Ocana.12
The immediate circumstances of the double slaying are briefly alluded to in the martyrology reading. The text, calling the martyrs "most pleasing victims," adopts a quasi liturgical expression to describe the sentiments with which the two friars accepted their immolation. Once aware of their impending death, the priest and his associate took part in the sacrifice of the Mass and spent more than four hours in prayer – prayer surely of resignation, of faith and hope and love of God. It was a prolonged and most extraordinary thanksgiving after Mass and Communion. Though no contemporary account specifies the exact spot of the slaughter, the text of the martyrology is undoubtedly right in saying they died "before the altar."13
Oré speaks of "one blow of the hatchet-or cudgel" as the proximate cause of Fray Antonio's death. As the assassins had such respect for the courtly Fray Miguel that they were hesitating in their plan to kill him, a non-baptized Indian came up from behind and knocked him unconscious with a blow of a club. When the faithful of the place ran to his defense, another pagan Indian came from behind and with an extremely heavy blow of a cudgel split his skull, spilling his brains on the ground. 14

If you've been thinking about investing in a home security system, it's high time you do. Statistics show that thieves and intruders are still continuing to break into homes on a frequent basis, and when it comes down to the truth, no one is truly safe from having their home broken into. On the upside, though, statistics do shine a favorable light on homes that are protected by a security system.
The first thing you need to ask yourself about a home security system is what type of technological alarm do you want it to have? Do you want the alarm to ring out loud or silently? Do you want it to be motion triggered? Do you want to receive alarm alerts by phone or email? Your answers to all of these questions will significantly impact which type of alarm is best for you. Also, do you want the alarm system to be wired, wireless, or hybrid?
You'll also need to think about the type of camera system you want the security system to have. Are you looking for cameras that are easily seen by an intruder? Or perhaps you want cameras that are hidden. Do you need the camera to provide live feed back to your smartphone? Does the camera need to be synced to a base that records and stores all footage? The Belkin NetCam HD Wireless IP Camera works by relaying video footage back to you via an Internet network. You'll enjoy HD video footage, crisp audio, an easy installation, simple connectivity to your home's wireless network, and even email notifications when the camera detects motion.
Sensors are one of the most important parts of a home security system, and thanks to advancements in technology, we have some of the best sensors available today. The number of sensors you will need will depend on the amount of square footage you are wanting to be protected. As you can imagine, the larger your home, the more sensors you will need. And whether or not you want just the interior or exterior will influence how many you need. If you're wanting protection for both the interior and exterior, you will need double the number of sensors. You'll also need to consider whether or not you want the sensors to trip an alarm. Some sensors simply activate the camera to start recording when they are tripped. Others will trip an actual alarm or even call the authorities for you.
Lastly, from a technical standpoint, you'll need to consider whether or not you want to install the system yourself or have a professional do the install for you. Ideally, you'll have a professional installation performed for you as this usually guarantees any warranty you have with the system, and when you opt for a Protect America system, you can rest easy knowing the installation is provided free of charge.
Contact Protect America today to learn more about protecting your home with a modern and technologically advanced security system.

Taking eSports to the next level with data analytics
By Erich Gerber, Senior Vice President, EMEA & APJ, TIBCO Software Inc | Monday, July 6, 2020, 2:36 PM Asia/Singapore
Mining gaming data will push eSports to new frontiers for all stakeholders, argues this analytics expert.
The eSports sector is becoming hugely popular all over the world, especially in the Asia Pacific region. The Southeast Asia market's revenue alone was expected to grow 13.9% year-over-year in 2019, and the mobile games market was the fastest growing in the world, with revenues increasing by 17.4% compared to the previous year.
Additionally, with the introduction of 5G across the region, the multi-player online gaming sector stands to benefit from new investments by live-streaming platforms and gaming companies that are expected to push eSports into the mainstream.
Across the world, the eSports community is developing rapidly, with the audience watching games expected to reach 645 million people in 2022, from 454 million in 2019. The Asia Pacific region accounted for 57% of the frequent viewer audience. These viewers are oft en players themselves who cultivate great influence in specific games on platforms such as Twitch.
For eSports to continue to flourish in Southeast Asia's distinct markets, it is incredibly important for brands to understand the gaming community's motivations including why, what, and how much they play. This knowledge is vital to refining how the gaming community is marketed, as competition heats up in the region.
Gaming data is invaluable for improving the player and audience experiences, and developing innovations quickly based on their input and behavior. As investments in the sector (and overall interest in gaming and tournaments) grow, how can the eSports industry leverage, and improve, data analytics capabilities to enhance community experiences?
Connecting eSports data
The eSports industry has developed into a serious world where milliseconds make a difference.
In an almost purely-digital ecosystem, the eSports community has produced vast amounts of data that teams and other parties use to discover valuable insights about fans, transactions, and third-party partners. Escalating audience numbers and prize money from tournaments, as well as publicity for the industry, have simultaneously created a need for analytics companies to build and outfit teams and gaming industry players with data software.
From a player performance perspective alone, teams analyze spatial movement and player reactions within games and possible actions. They must also manage game currency and resources, as well as patch changes and regular game updates.
Capturing, analyzing, and sharing these vast data points is no easy feat, and it requires the latest technology to help data scientists mine the valuable data that will help players, teams and third parties to compete and win.
This ecosystem of stakeholders is highly-dependent on the game publisher's data. Participants, viewership numbers, and game results are also important data points being accessed and analyzed during tournaments by third parties seeking to enhance fan experiences and increase revenues. In fact, application programming interfaces (APIs) enable many of the technologies supporting eSports and modern sports, creating the hands-on experiences we enjoy today.
As a result, game publishers and industry players will need to use management platforms to create products and distribute data that is consumable by the entire community. These cloud-native API management platforms enable third-party apps, mobile apps, and connected devices to interact with data outside the firewall, making the data sharing process simple, fast, and safe.
Data providers can use a portal to handle traffic and make data more consumable for their stakeholders. It is also a great way for game developers and other stakeholders to stay connected with their communities and gain insights into their needs (e.g., designing new games, promoting games or brands, improving experiences, and betting). This increase in the speed, security, streaming, and reliability of eSports data will allow the industry to fuel future innovative gaming developments and revenue growth for the industry.
Strong API management and data analytics capabilities will be critical to the future of eSports in the region to ensure the accuracy, consistency and relevance of live and historical data.
With quick, secure access to relevant data, stakeholders in the eSports community can obtain the insights needed to improve player performance, enhance gaming experiences and continue eSports' move to the mainstream.

Candy has become such a large part of our culture as merely a sweet treat that it's hard to believe that it once was actually intended for health benefits.
The first candy belonged to the ancient world and was sweetened with honey as sugar was not as easily or widely available, and generally intended for soothing a sore throat or aiding the digestive system (hence the peppermint candies). These combinations of honey and spices were served by the wealthy at parties or banquets to their guests.
Candy first enjoyed popularity in America in the early eighteenth century, by way of Europe. Increasing availability of sugar made it a little more accessible by the common people, especially children.
Penny candy, a descendant of sugar-coated lozenges, became the favorite of children everywhere.By the late 1800's, methods had improved enough that several people alone could run a successful candy business, and the output increased. Soon, America was enjoying candy for what it is - a sweet and satisfying indulgence that brightens your day.
Candy has come a long way since the early days, but some of the vintage favorites are still going strong, and with good reason. In addition to the novelty factor, they're often made from just a few quality ingredients, and often reconnect us with our childhood.
What's your favorite vintage candy?
Here are a just a few of ours, and the stories behind their sweet existences. They're perfect for a candy buffet, stocking stuffer, or just because, and will bring smiles to any occasion.
Don't dismiss this candy for it's modest appearance. Charles N. Miller first introduced this plain yet delicious treat in 1914. Named after his favorite aunt,the peanut butter and molasses Mary Janes are dairy, egg, and gluten-free and prove that the simplest of pleasures are often the best.
There are several different versions of how this long-time favorite got its unique title. But whether a nod to American writer O. Henry, or affectionately named after a charismatic young man that frequented the factory to flirt with the girls who made the candy, it began its early life in 1919 as the Tom Henry candy bar.Officially changed to Oh Henry! in 1920, the combination of peanuts, caramel, and fudge is now made by Nestle, and one of the oldest (and most delicious!) confections around.
A large part of many childhoods, Pez's origins are a little surprising. It was invented as a breath mint in Austria around 1927 by Viennese candy-maker Eduard Hass III, much like Altoids, and also marketed as an alternative to smoking in small dispensers shaped like cigarette lighters, known as "regulars."
It wasn't until 1952 that Haas introduced his "mints" to the United States, and in 1955 the Pez company began to manufacture the well known dispensers that so many remember from childhood, Mickey Mouse and Santa Claus being among the first original characters.Including the older and "retired" flavors, Pez has been manufactured in at least 25 different flavors.
In 1921, the Curtiss Candy Company refashioned its popular Kandy Kake into the Baby Ruth. Though most people believe that the candy bar was named after baseball legend, Babe Ruth, the Curtiss Candy Company traditionally claimed that it was named after President Grover Cleveland's daughter, Ruth Cleveland.
But many people believe that that this was nothing more than a story fabricated in order to avoid paying royalties or negotiating an endorsement deal with the Yankee slugger.Be sure to browse through our selections of novelty and vintage candy to find YOUR favorites!


Rebolledo - Mondo Re-Alterado As a solo artist and as one half of Pachanga Boys, Mauricio Rebolledo knows just how much he can get away with while still leading bodies towards the dance floor. He edged perilously close to that line with 2016's Mondo Alterado, a loose-limbed and occasionally gorgeous house album that was equal parts flaky and formidable. When it comes to remixing an album of this nature, how much of its singular otherness should you retain? A varied cast of artists—including Red Axes, DJ Tennis, Danny Daze, Fantastic Twins and Maceo Plex—has taken on the challenge for Mondo Re-Alterado. The best remixes capture the eccentricity of the originals while imbuing them with some of the remixers' own idiosyncrasies.
Superpitcher's remix is among the strongest here—unsurprising given his working relationship with Rebolledo (he's the other half of Pachanga Boys). His interpretation of "Spacer Rainbow Woman," here called "Rainboy Superspacer," retains the original's vocal coos and lilting melody, but evens out the ramshackle guitar and pawnshop drums with a droning organ and thick kicks. Jörg Burger, appearing here as The Black Frame, takes an almost art-rock approach to the same song—the strummed guitar is the centerpiece, its chords defining the song's intensity. "Life Is Strange," a Red Axes remix, mirrors its precursor's crawling tension with thudding kick-and-snare patterns and pulsing synths.
A couple of remixes are less successful. Maceo Plex's "Discótico Pléxico"—his version of Mondo Alterado's "Discótico Estático" and "Discótico Sinético"—has a nicely rolling drum pattern, but it's surrounded by too much reverb-heavy, big-room filigree for its own good. A few others, like Paulor's "Discótico Desértico," have a forced eccentricity. There's no avoiding the fact that some of Rebolledo's skewed vision is lost in a remix. Even the best tracks suffer a bit in comparison to their predecessors. But if you can judge these tracks on their own merits, you'll find that they can offer up wonders of their own.
In the year 2011 Superpitcher (Aksel Schaufler) and Rebolledo (Mauricio Rebolledo) found their independent record label, Hippie Dance.

OneDrive: Super Zoom on iOS –
Who doesn't store pictures on their phone or tablet, right? The new Super Zoom feature enables OneDrive on iOS users to use a pinch gesture to zoom in and out of the Photos view. Zoom out to easily scroll many photos at a time or zoom in to get a larger preview of your photos as you browse. This feature is supported on both OneDrive for Business as well as consumer accounts on iOS.
For those of you using OneDrive on Android devices, Super Zoom is already available, but only for OneDrive consumer accounts and should be coming to OneDrive for commercial accounts later this year.
Word & PowerPoint: Use @mention in comments to tag someone for feedback –
When you use what is commonly known as the "at" sign with someone's name in social media apps like Twitter or Facebook, the person you mention receives a notification about that post or comment. You might also be using what I'll call @mentions in Microsoft Teams, and Yammer, and I covered their introduction into Outlook a while back.
Now you can use @mentions in Word and PowerPoint to draw someone's attention to comments in a document or presentation you're collaborating on. Just add the @ sign, then type the name of and the person in your organization you are collaborating with. That person receives an email with a link directly to your comment. Clicking the link brings them into the document or presentation and into the conversation. Using @mentions in Office can help take the lag time out of the collaboration process helping you get more work done, faster.
Outlook: A new user experience designed for Simplicity –
One of the new features being showcased using the new Coming Soon feature pane is the new Simplified Ribbon. It lets you focus on the core of what you need, displaying a single row of commands versus the three lines of commands in the classic ribbon. It is still easily expandable so you're always in control. The default set of commands in the simplified ribbon are those that are used most frequently, and less frequently used commands are always still available with just a click or two.
In addition to the simplified ribbon, Microsoft have made updates across the entire mail and calendar experience to improve productivity and keep you more organized.
Power BI Built-in report theme options –
The Power BI team recently added the option to apply new built-in themes to Power BI reports, similar to what you can do with Word, Excel and PowerPoint. You'll be able to see these new theme options by selecting Switch Theme in the Home ribbon in Power BI Desktop.
All you need to do is pick your desired theme from one of seven new options, and it will be applied to all your visuals that use the default color palette.
SharePoint: New file template management for document library content types –
SharePoint has been at the heart of document-centric collaboration since long before Office 365 existed. SharePoint content types are essential to our vision of how we'll continue to deliver content services innovation in Office 365 and by extension, Microsoft 365. That's why it's so thrilling to announce the ability to add document templates to SharePoint document library content types.
We're also adding the ability to edit the New menu – to add, hide or reorder the new file options. With this new capability, you can maintain the default templates for things like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint along with any newly added templates and content types specific to your requirements. You can configure the New menu by selecting (or deselecting) which templates you wish to see and by using drag and drop to re-order the templates in the menu. You can edit the template directly in the Office client, change the template's content type or delete the template.

In 186os the Austrian mining engineer and professor Friedrich (Fritz) Arzberger constructed one of the early column adding machines with keys (after the pioneering machines of of James White, Luigi Torchi, and Jean-Baptiste Schwilgué), although it possess only two keys—for 1 and for 3. The device looks like an experimental work and was probably a small plaything for Arzberger.
The device (Arzberger's Addirmaschine) was initially presented in the journal Schweizerische Polytechnische Zeitschrift, Volume 11 (1866), Issue 2, pp. 33 and 34, and was later in 1896 described by Фон-Бооль, in his book "Приборы и машины для механическаго производства арифметических действий".
The device of Arzberger (see the lower drawing) consists of a plate (marked with a), which can be put in a tilted position using a wedge. On the plate is mounted a rotatable big 200-teeth ratchet wheel (b). The 2 keys (I and III) are mounted on a common axis (c) and the ending-rods (d and e). The spring (p) returns the key to the initial position after depression.
The fixing mechanism is provided by means of a spring and a fixing arm (marked with f).
The movement of the keys is limited by means of the pins (g, h and i). In order to avoid the over-rotation during a fast keystroke, are provided 2 additional pins (k and l).
One of the spokes of the big wheel (b) has a opening (m), to which can inserted a metallic pin with a key on the outer edge and spring-plate on the inner edge. Using this pin, the wheel can be rotated and fixed to the desired position or reset (the spring is in a straight status during the normal keystroke operation, so it is not working).
The null position is marked with an index (n).
The entering of numbers is quite cumbersome. For example, in order to enter 8, the operator must press key III, then key I, then key III and to finish with key I.
Friedrich Franz Ludwig Arzberger was born on 14 November, 1833, in Vienna, a son of the German-born Austrian technologist Johann Arzberger (10.04.1778-28.12.1835) and his second wife Wilhelmine Josepha von Schwind (1798-1836) (a sister of the famous Austrian painter Moritz Ludwig von Schwind).
Johann Arzberger was a talented engineer, professor of mechanics at the Polytechnic Institute and inventor (he was a pioneer of urban street lighting and in 1820 he constructed a steam car, which was determined to move on ordinary roads without use of rails), but unfortunately he died in 1835, when Friedrich was only two years old. The next year, 1836, died Friedrich's mother, Wilhelmine.
The guardian gave Friedrich a good education. During his school years, Friedrich dealt with his father tools, with locks, watchmaker and carpentry work and worked in the workshops of friendly craftsmen. The Revolution of 1848 Arzberger spent with his uncle who worked as a manager of the salt mines in Bad Aussee. Friedrich also gained professional experience there.
In 1851 Arzberger commenced his education at the Polytechnic Institute in Vienna and at Bergakademie (Mining College) in Schemnitz and Leoben, where he studied mathematics and chemistry in particular. In 1856 Arzberger graduated at the Mining College in Leoben.
After spending some time from 1856 studying mines throughout Europe, in 1861 Arzberger became a control officer of the Imperial Mining and Metallurgy in Jenbach. In 1863-1866 he managed the operation of two blast furnaces in Vordernberg.
In 1866 Arzberger started his career as a professor, initially in Bergakademie (Mining Academy) in Příbram, then he was a professor of mechanical technology in TU Brünn (now Brno, Czech republic), later until 1892 he was a professor in Vienna Polytechnic Institute.
Arzberger was the inventor of an imaginative gravity escapement, and was an expert (he had several publications) on electrical clocks.
Friedrich's brother (he had also a sister, Augustine Freiin von Schwind (b. 1829), and a half-sister, Ernestine), Moritz Arzberger (12.01.1827-14.03.1892) was also a very good engineer and inventor.
Friedrich Arzberger married to Maria Arzberger (Westhauser) and they had 2 children—Johann (Hans) (26.11.1862-23.03.1946) and Wilhelmine Klara Auguste von Schwind (29.06.1864-27.11.1894).
Friedrich Arzberger died on 3 August 1905 in Rindbach at Ebensee.


Before every swimming race, Olympic swimmer Santo Condorelli does something that unsuspecting audiences and rivals might take offence to. But here's the drill: he's actually giving his dad the finger. In fact, Condorelli and his dad flip each other off before every race.
However, this always doesn't go down well. For instance, at the 2012 US junior nationals, it seemed that he was giving the world the finger and for which he had to write an apology letter. Since then, he's adapted his ways and often pretends to scratch his forehead with his middle finger as part of the good luck ritual.
This is how it started. When Condorelli was eight, he was scared by the big guys he would compete against. Failing the swimming matches got him down. So his father, Joseph Condorelli, came up with an ingenious plan to boost his child's confidence level. Joseph said, '"I told him 'enough is enough. When you get on the blocks, just put everything out of your mind and swim like there's nobody near you. He said to me 'how do you do that?' and I said 'well, you say f*** it'. So he looked at me in the crowd, and we both gave each other the finger, and he started winning race after race and we never looked back." Since then, at every race, father and son perform this ritual.
Although it appears as unconventional parenting and not many may approve of it, it clearly has helped Condorelli become a first class swimmer by improving his performance. And seen from their point of view, it certainly does make sense. Telling the world to go f*** itself, is a way of releasing tension by detaching yourself from the goal and not caring what other people think. It creates a frame of mind that allows you to focus on the task at hand, instead of being intimidated or worrying about the trophy.
And that in turn, helps you to win.

It may be cold. It may be snowy. Heck, it may be icy. But that doesn't stop the best of us from tailgating.
(And we love you winter tailgaters for that)!
PRO TIP #1: ARE YOU LOOKIN' OR ARE YOU COOKIN'?
In winter it goes without saying that the temperatures tend to drop. And when the temps drop, that means it takes more charcoal and/or more fire to get your barbecue up to temperature to cook food. If you constantly raise the lid to look at the food (either because you're hungry or because you're checking to see if it's done), you're making it more difficult for yourself. Every time you raise the lid, you're letting winter air get in there and that's going to cool down your grilling situation.
So keep that lid on! Cook that food! Stop staring at it!
It seems winter air tends to include wind. And wind is tough for your tent (canopy). We have tried a lot of things to keep our tent anchored down. (We have even tried like serious weightlifting barbells. Nuts). What works the best? Good old-fashioned cement.
We recently saw an artisan's tent at a crafts show and we really dug the rope rigging they had going on with some cinder blocks. Cinder blocks are legit heavy. And they should be—they are made from a combination of cement and aggregate. And with the ropes tied to the canopy...that puppy wassn't going anywhere.
Try a little DIY project.
- Remove the plastic casing.
- Rig with ropes to your tent.

The iPhone X from an Android user's perspective
Peeking over the fence

Share All sharing options for: The iPhone X from an Android user's perspective

It's been almost a year since the Google Pixel made me put down my iPhone and transformed me from a Google apps user on Apple hardware to a pure Google acolyte. In the grand tug of war between mobile religions, I'm now pulled in the direction of Android, and I can't express much regret about it. But Apple has just made official its biggest redesign and rethink of the iPhone ever, and so I was definitely curious about the iPhone X and the future it paints for the Apple ecosystem. As it turns out, though, the iPhone X really isn't a phone designed to draw me back in; it's more customer service to existing iPhone users than an appeal to new ones.
The Android user hat isn't the only one I wear, but here are my main iPhone X takeaways from the perspective of someone deeply immersed in the Android realm:
A radical iPhone redesign is a good thing for everyone, no matter what it looks like or who buys it. I think this is an important point that's all too often disregarded: any sufficiently ambitious company should dread the stagnation of its competitors, which is liable to lead to complacency and a slowdown in progress. When the United States put people on the moon in the 1960s, those efforts were spurred by the threat of the Soviet Union making it there first. Having a strong rival is essential to keeping up the pace of innovation. Google and its myriad Android hardware partners have always had that in Apple's iPhone, and this major redesign will give them a fresh and different antagonist to measure up against.
The new iPhone X hardware design doesn't thrill me at all. I know this part is subjective, but having seen the Galaxy S8 and Note 8, the Essential Phone and the LG V30, I am no longer wowed by (almost) bezel-less screens. I've now used multiple devices like that and, in all honesty, the absentee bezels are something I forget about very quickly. I don't feel like I'm using a radically new and different design, and though it's a little awkward to return to a phone with old-school bezels like the HTC U11, I've recently done it and survived the supposed regression. What I don't fancy about the iPhone's new look is the extra glossy glass back, punctuated by a chunky, protruding dual-camera module: it's supposed to be ultra minimalist, yet it has this big eyesore on it. And the same is true of the front, where the top notch makes for a good brand identifier but a questionable design choice.
The under-the-hood upgrades that Apple announced are likely to be significant, including the first GPU designed by Apple itself and a battery life that's supposedly two hours longer than that of the iPhone 7. The cameras are said to have physically larger sensors too, which may help the iPhone catch up to the rapidly advancing Android competition in the cameraphone race. But does any of that excite my gadget lust or make me wonder whether Apple's Photos could be as good as Google Photos? No, not yet. The iPhone 7 of last year had one of the most powerful processors ever put inside a mobile device, but I can't think of a single occasion where I was using an Android phone and wishing I had the extra power of the iPhone.
Apple's embrace of Qi wireless charging on both the iPhone 8 and iPhone X will not only be significant, it might be the final piece required to make wireless charging a truly mainstream feature. Even if you never buy an iPhone, you should be glad that Apple and Samsung — the two most prolific smartphone makers — have both chosen the same standard. At present, I get a kick out of charging the LG V30 on Samsung's wireless charging dock, but in the future this sort of cross-compatibility and universality will stretch across both iOS and Android. That's great news for all, and it lays the foundation for one day having a smartphone that has no ports at all, eschewing cables in favor of wireless data, audio, and power transfer.
Face ID will probably work well, but I don't see the value in it. Something peculiar has happened in 2017, a year that's seen both Samsung and Apple abandon their perfectly functional fingerprint sensors embedded in the home button at the front of their flagship phones and replacing it with arcane alternatives. Obviously, the underlying driver is the move to strip away display bezels, but couldn't both companies have placed a fingerprint sensor in the middle of the back of their devices? Google, LG, Huawei, and countless others have been doing it for years and left no unhappy customers. Instead, Samsung tucked its fingerprint reader in an awkward off-center position and gave us iris scanning to unlock our phones, while Apple's iPhone X has the world's most sophisticated (or is that over-engineered?) face authentication system. The best-case scenario for Face ID that I can see is that it matches Touch ID, which already worked very nicely; I can't get excited for such a sidestep. More worryingly, I expect Android OEMs will go crazy copying Apple's Face ID, and I expect many of them to do it sloppily, creating the threat of much less secure phones.
Using the same depth-sensing tech and hardware as Face ID, Apple's animoji system has charmed quite a few people with its ability to motion-capture the user's face and turn it into animated emoji. I guess I'm too old and / or jaded to find that appealing. Do I get frustrated when silly augmented-reality apps don't perfectly map their silliness onto my face? Sure, I do, for about 0.5 seconds. Then I move on to doing something more important like watching cat GIFs on the internet. My point is that I don't think Apple is solving an especially major problem with its animoji, and it'd take some ingenious application of the tech to convince me that I should care about or want it.
The swipe-based iPhone X interface is nothing we haven't seen before. Whether you want to go as far back as the Palm Pre, or more recently the Nokia N9 or BlackBerry Z10, there have been plenty of attempts at making gesture interfaces work. For various reasons, they've all failed to find traction among users, but, like socialism, many people still think that the idea is sound and just hasn't been properly implemented yet. I remain skeptical. What I've seen of the new iPhone UI suggests it's difficult to intuit and, without the safety valve of a home button, many neophytes might find it bewildering to get around. Until further notice, I'm filing away the iPhone X interface on my list of big questions to be answered about this enigmatic new device.
A major point of distinction I've noticed between myself, a person outside the iOS bubble, and my friends and colleagues inside the Apple ecosystem is that we basically can't think of a new iPhone the same way. I consider it in clinical terms, assessing its specs, value for money, likely durability of the design, and relative advantages to Android alternatives. People who are already entrenched iOS users regard the iPhone X in a more emotional fashion; it's like they're about to have a new child rather than a new phone. "I don't care, I've waited three years to upgrade, I'm buying an iPhone X" is one refrain I've heard, and it's thoroughly understandable. If your entire life is tied up in iMessage and other Apple services, your only option for a new phone is another iPhone, and so the iPhone X is a hugely exciting device just by virtue of finally being meaningfully different.
The level of commitment and loyalty that Apple has engendered among its users is exactly what Google is trying to establish with its Pixel line among Android users. I see nothing fanatical or excessive about it, as I think both companies are "locking down" users through the strength of the services and conveniences they provide. But the further we go into the iPhone X and Google Pixel future, the more dividing lines I'm seeing between the two paths. Apple's new features are intrinsically tied to its new hardware — such as the multi-sensor array required for Face ID and animoji face mapping — while Google is providing free Google Photos storage and the best camera algorithms in the business with its Pixel line. It's probably because I value the latter company's offering so highly that I can't truly get excited about the novelties from the former.
In summary, I'm glad the iPhone X exists, and I'm optimistic about it making positive waves in the wider smartphone market, but I am not myself attracted by it. That's in part because of the pace of innovation among Android rivals, and in part because Apple is serving a demographic that I'm no longer squarely in the middle of. I have no problem with any of that, I think it's the sign of a vibrant market that there's choice and variety. But for now at least, I think I'll skip the $999 glass iPhone and look forward instead to October 4th and Google's next Pixels. The difference for me, as a yearlong Android devotee, is that an Apple event is fun and exciting just out of sheer tech enthusiasm, but a new Google product launch is thrilling because it has a high chance of being my next phone purchase.
