Advanced Placement examination, organized by the College Board is one of the important education programmes in USA and Canada. It offers college-level examinations to senior high school students. This exam provides the students with the chance to earn college credit, advanced placement. It's governed the College Board and a committee of selected teachers and other intellectual personae. The course of the exam is vast and interesting and various, from Art history to biology, which makes it pretty tough as well as interesting. Here we'll talk about Art History.
The Art History exam allows the students to study and analyse important forms of artistic expression which are relevant to various cultures from different time period. The course gives the students an opportunity to acquire the ability to examine and analyse the work of art critically. The main topic in this course is European art along with the African, Hindu, South and East-Asian art.
The exam is divided into 2 sections: multiple choice and free response, each having 2 sub parts. The MCQ part includes 115 questions with a time period of 60 minutes. The Free Response part includes two 30 minutes essay question and six 10 minutes questions. The 10 minutes questions are based on work of art or quotation from a source or a document. Students must support their answers with an example of apt work of art.
5-10%on other media such as photography, ceramics etcetera.
During this time art was of 2 kinds, either 'portable' or 'stationary'. Portable art was used to be small in size, mostly either figures or objects, carved from stone, bone or modelled with clay. The figures of pregnant females are often referred to as the 'Venus'.
'Stationary' art refers to the immovable art examples like the cave paintings in Europe. The painters derived the paints from minerals, charcoal, ochre mixed into mediums like blood, water, animal fats. These Paintings may have some other symbolic importance. The paintings of the animals are quite realistic.
The art objects were associated with daily lives and the usual work like food hunting, fertility rights and so on.
This period was a transitional one, with the change in atmosphere, geography and so on. The stick like and abstract human figures had been replaced by images of human beings in groups, like the 'Marching Warriors' in Castellon, Spain.
This period saw a distinct change from painting images to building sculptures, monuments and architectures with huge stones, like the 'Standing Stone' monument in Carnac, France or the 'Stonehenge' in England.
Ancient East generally refers to the area around Turkey, Iran, Iraq. The development of art in this area is roughly divided into four phases.
This seems to be the world's oldest fortified community which enabled them to start making monumental architecture like the 'Jericho', 'Seated Goddess'.
Mesopotamia. This city state of Sumer is considered to be one of the greatest civilizations. 'Ziggurat' is their famous architecture which was supposed to be a religious shrine, symbolizing the connection between men and god and earth.
Gradually the Akkadian, Babylonian, Assyrian art flourished through-out the ages.
and then began the dominance of pharaoh. As we can see in the architecture as well, one of the most important architectural figures was Imhotep, the chancellor and court architect. Along with this, during the early Dynastic period, funerary rites also became an important part of the culture which resulted in production of 'Mastabas', flat topped, one story building, erected over underground burial chambers. During dynasty III, IV, those were replaced by 'pyramids'.
They used Relief sculpture and painting to decorate interior of tombs, living quarters for deceased's 'ka'.
During the middle kingdom, the size of the architecture became much smaller due to financial problem and social instability.
During dynasty 18, with the restoring of peace and stability, architectural prosperity again started to flourish, around the city of Thebes. During the reign of Amenhotep IV, the dominance of sun god Aten came into being. Amenhotep changed his name to Aten. Temple in larger shape began to emerge, like temple of Ramesses II, Nefertiti and so on.
The style of Greek art focuses on humanism. The Dorians and the Ionians were the earliest people to create groups based upon language and other common beliefs. This civilization is divided between several periods.
Vase painting was a pretty important norm during the Geometric period. The decoration consists of abstract designs surrounding the Vase which was supposed to be designed for votive prayers.
During this period, the decorating patterns became larger and the figures of the living beings became more lifelike. If we see this statue of 'Lady of Auxerre' we can see that the abstract figures had been replaced by more concrete fleshy figures, as an influence of Asia Minor.
During this period, artefacts were made by stone, marble. The Doric influence could be seen in the fluted columns of the Temple of Hera, Temple of Korkyra. The statues were life like, embedded with an expression known as 'archaic smile'. The female figures are known 'kore', the male as 'kouros'. Athens produced most of the vase paintings along with Black figure and Red figure technique.
During this time the columns of the temples became more spacious, the vertical shaft had been transformed into horizontal one, due to the result of Persian invasion. Unlike the ancient Egyptian period the human figures now, had become more lifelike, acquiring an almost 3D effect.
the direction of Pheidias. Other examples are 'three seated goddess', 'Horsemen' etcetera. During this time the sculptors were used to believe the beauty could be found into true form only as we can see in 'Nike adjusting her sandal', 'Myron Diskobolos' and so on. Later the style got changed due to the tyranny of Kritias.
Ancient Republican art was very much influenced by the Greek art, especially that of Magna Graecia, the Greek colonies of the Southern Italy. One of the most prominent influences is the creation of mosaic on floors. Each piece or 'tessarae' of the mosaic was supposed to be limestone or marble and flat. The difficult one is the wall mosaics. The labourer or the 'musearii' was more paid than the others. They used coloured stones too.
Like the use of mosaics, the Greeks inspired the Romans in pottery too. The Romans began to make the Red figure vases roughly during 450 B.C. which gradually flourished in 14th century in several places like Apulia, Campania, Sicily and others.
During the 2nd century B.C., with the Greek migration the Romans started to use Bronze as new ingredient to furnish artefacts.
The Romans were influenced by the Greeks in the area of sculptures too. Earlier they used wooden models for marble sculptures. They worshipped their ancestors which made them to use their images on coin. The Greek realism affected the Romans too which resulted in making life sized statue.
During the later Roman period, the newly arrived Christian tradition got mixed with the pre-existing Pagan tradition and developed a mixed form. Among these, the paintings were also very important. Paintings like 'Imitation Rites of The Cult of Bacchus' in the Villa of the Mysteries, 'Woman with a veil' are important.
Among the sculptures of Roman empire, the most famous one is the 'Colosseum', 'The Arch of the Titus', 'The colossal statue of Constantine' and so on.
During 325 A.D., Christianity became the official and the sole religion with the sanction of Emperor Theodosius I. Rome became divided both politically and religiously with Constantinople being the capital.
The earliest examples of wall paintings can be found within the catacombs, conveying common religious messages. Due to the sanction of Constantine, several churches, basilicas started to be built.
The most important structure of Byzantine era is the construction of Hagia Sophia. Apart from this, there were works on mosaics, iconography and manuscripts and so on.
Advanced Placement Art History examination is one of the important and interesting courses. The course is roughly divided into sub parts. Here we'll talk about the transition in the work of art from Medieval to the Renaissance period.
The Medieval art period is a vast one and therefore is roughly divided into many sub-periods like Early Christian art, Byzantine art, Romanesque period and of course the Gothic period. Every period has some distinct style of its own. Here we'll mostly focus on the Romanesque and Gothic period.
This style is an adaptation of Roman style and manner of building solid structures like masonry walls, rounded arches and so on. There seems to be an excellent sense of uniqueness in various types of works of art, from architecture, wall painting to painting of tapestry. This uniqueness seems to be the product of the beautiful symmetry among the workers with different focus on different types of styles.
In the area of architecture the basic feature is the plan of the basilica with the variations of masonry vaults and buttress, the introduction of Ambulatory.
'Ambulatory' is a semi-circular or polygonal side in the structure, as we can see in the image of Notre Dame. The famous examples of this kind of style are the Abbey church of Sainte-Foy, France, Church of Notre Dame, France etcetera.
paintings. In England, the British people started to use stone for vaulting and to build walls around the church in an experimental way.
Church of St. Denis. The word 'Gothic' refers to 'barbaric. Its became popularised by painter Georgio Vasari who addressed it as "monstrous and barbarous'. This includes the sculptures, portals, other figures which are an integral part of that style. During the 13th century it became the most got replaced by the Gothic buildings which include larger windows, stained glass. Some of the other significant features of Gothic Art are the use of frescos, illuminated manuscripts, panel painting. It mainly focuses on the figures and characters of the 'Old Testament' and sometimes those along with the ones from New Testament and the images based on the 'Virgin and the Child' were placed side by side as in the 'Speculum Humane Salvations'.
During the early 14th century another style of Gothic art emerged, known as the International Gothic Art' as we can see in the Tres Riches Heures du Duc de Berry.
The time period between 1400 and 600, the world witnessed a 'revival', renewed interest in classical learning and humanism. This period is known as 'Renaissance' meaning 'rebirth'. Along with these new interests this period also saw the great effect of discovering and exploring new land. Unlike the Medieval time, during the Renaissance the artists were being recognized by their works. Due to the progress of science many new techniques began to evolve. The artists started to develop a perspective. A new idea came into being to make the figures more proportionate, more lifelike.
the classical use of column. He used it in his design of Octagonal dome of Florence Cathedral or Duomo. He was responsible for bringing into foreground an exceptional use of spatial integrity, unique during the contemporary time. Ghiberti is renowned for the famous sets of doors illustrating the themes from Old Testament which had been praised by Michelangelo as the 'Gates of Paradise'. Donatello was the most famous among all of them. His best known work is the Bronze statue of David the Biblical hero, with the head of Goliath at his feet. Among the following artists, the important ones are Masaccio, Bellini, Mantegna and so on. Masaccio used both linear and aerial perspectives in his frescoes depicting the life of St. Peter for Branacci chapel in Florence's Santa Maria del Carmine. In 'Tribute Money' he portrayed the figures with utmost reality. Apart from Masaccio, Leon Batista Alberti was another important Renaissance figure. The flat temple front he developed during Santa Maria Novella is amazing.
Now let's take a look at the artists of the High Renaissance. Some of the most influential high Renaissance artists were Leonardo da Vinci, Botticelli, Michelangelo, Raphael and so on. Leonardo is best known for his 'The Last Supper', 'Monalisa' etcetera. Leonardo was Verrocchio's pupil. He was not only an artist, rather a creator or inventor. He seems to be the ultimate example of the 'Renaissance Sprezzatura'. In his works we can witness the sense of elegance, perfect harmony between emotion and beauty, impression of light and shadow, technique of 'chiaroscuro', 'sfumato', the sense of proportion and perspective. 'The Last Supper' was commissioned for the dining room of the convent of Santa Maria della Grazie in Milan by Leonardo's patron Ludovico Sforza, the duke of Milan around 1495, to be the centrepiece of the Sforza family mausoleum, and it was completed around 1498. The subject matter is the last supper of Jesus and his twelve disciples where Jesus announced that one of them would betray him, as it is described in the 'Gospel of John', 13:21. The measurement is 460 x 880 centimetre. With Jesus at the centre of the painting, from left to right, there are Bartholomew, James and Andrew, then Judas, Peter and John, Jesus, then Thomas, James the Greater, Philip and finally Matthew, Jude and Simon.
Leonardo placed extreme importance on the scientific geometrical accuracy of the painting; hence the figures in his paintings are proportionate, realistic, unlike the Egyptian or Medieval paintings. Jesus's head is located at the vanishing point of all perspectives. Unlike the other Florentine and the other Renaissance painters, Leonardo painted it on dry plaster or 'secco'.Instead of painting it on wet plaster i.e. 'fresco', he sealed the wall with layer of pitch, gesso and mastic and then applied the paint, mixtures of earth colour with egg yolk i.e. 'tempera'. Unlike his other paintings like 'Mona Lisa' here we can't see the extensive use of 'sfumato' i.e. the subtle blurring of the outlines or the colours of the painting to mystify the exact nature of the painting.
The other famous artists are Raphael and Michelangelo. Michelangelo is mostly known for the giant statue of David which later on became the symbol of Renaissance art and humanism, love of beauty. Raphael is known for his famous wall paintings in Sistine Chapel like 'the Last Judgement' and so on.
The important artists are Velazquez, Caravaggio, Rembrandt, Bernini and so on. The Mannerist painters showed a significant change from the high Renaissance art style with their use of vivid colour, powerful stroke of brush and more thrust on humanity which enabled them to portray the subject at the moment of action. They were often being accused of their use of unrealistic colour and unrealistic spatial proportion.
Art History is one of the most interesting courses in the Advanced Placement examination. The whole course is divided into sub parts. In this article we'll talk about the works of art produced during the time period between 17th century and the post-modern era.
The extravaganza of the Baroque movement symbolises the art of the 17th century. What began at the end of the Renaissance period, flourished during the 17th century. The main features of the art works of that period are dynamism, extreme drama and grandeur and use of vivid colour.
The style was very much influenced by the Roman Catholic Church as it used the art form to express religious themes, war images and so on. We can witness the use of light and shadow to produce intense emotions. The popular artists were Caravaggio, Rubens, Rembrandt, Bernini.
Caravaggio's manner is far more different from his contemporaries. As we can witness in The 'Bacchus' there seems to be nothing god like, rather more human like quality of the god. Unlike Renaissance where the subject seemed to have an eternal presence, here the subjects were caught at the moment of action which casts an impression of continuation which makes it thrilling to some extent. Also we must not forget the dramatic use of colour which increases the grandeur of the painting very much.
Peter Paul Rubens was a close follower of Caravaggio and intended to create a dramatic effect with minimal details. His knack for painting fleshy women with curve gave birth to the term 'Rubenesque'. Some of his famous paintings are, 'Allegory on the Blessings of Peace', Consequences of War' and so on.
Rembrandt was the great contemporary Dutch artist of and was a rival to Paul Rubens. Rembrandt's paintings depict the Biblical scenes, history and lots of self-portraits. His paintings were different from his contemporaries, different from landscape or still life portraits. Vividly dramatic, magnificent work of lightand shed, thick brush strokes all of these are characteristics of his paintings. Some of his famous paintings are, 'The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicholaes Tulp', 'Bathsheba', 'The Night Watch' and so on.
Apart from the paintings, we have sculptures made by Bernini too. He was an Italian artist. Following all the Baroque artists, his sculptures also show vivid dynamism, the emotional intensity. His subjects too were caught in a moment of action, which makes his works more realistic. Some of his famous sculptures are, 'Apollo and Daphne', 'The Agony of St. Teresa', 'David' and so on.
18th century is known for its architectural developments, achieved by artists like Lord Burlington, William Kent and so on. Two new styles emerged: Georgian and Regency style. Along with this a new refreshing, cheerful style of art had been flourished, called Rococo art. It's a successor of Baroque period. It developed in France and mostly associated with King Louis XV. The famous artists of this style are Jean Honore Fragonard, Francois Boucher and so on.
Later, a new style of painting emerged, the satirical type which commented upon the social wrong-doings. It also can be called the graphic art. The best examples are William Hogarth, Rowlandson and so on. If we take a close look at this picture, 'Gin Lane' by Hogarth we can follow the degraded condition of the city life.
18th century also saw excellence in the work of landscape painting and portraiture. In 1768, the Royal Academy of Arts had been established by Joshua Reynolds. The famous landscape painters were Thomas Gainsborough, Henry Raeburn and so on.
19th century witnessed the revival of Gothic art, revived by A.W. Pugin. It resembles people's renewed interest in Medieval Gothic style of architecture.
The famous architects to follow this kind of style were Alexander Jackson Davis, Jackson Downing. This style due to its immense irregularity was mostly suited for country houses. Like the Medieval age, this style was also very much appropriate for the churches with its larger, pointy Gothic arched windows and towers. Along with this, the pitched roof, vergeboards, porches with decorated columns were also very much in use.
The world of art and architecture experienced a great change during the 20th century. Several movements disrupted the stagnancy of the pre-existing styles and gave birth to newer forms. Among the new ones the most important ones are, Impressionism, Dadaism, Pop Art Movement, Fauvism, German expressionism, Abstract art, Cubism, Futurism and so on.
and apply bright coloured strokes. They rejected the former idea that shadow of object was made with brown or black colour. They pioneered the thought that the shadow can be made with the dashes of its complementary colour. The most famous Impressionist painters were Claude Monet, Pierre Auguste Renoir, Camille Pissaro, Winslow Homer and so on. From this style Post-impressionism emerged. It refers to the work of few independent artists like Van Gogh, Paul Gauguin and so on.
Fauvism is a joyful, bright style of painting which includes bold colours. It was developed in France by Henri Matisse and Andre Derain. The artists were referred to as 'Les Fauves' meaning the 'wild Beasts'. They used the bright colours to express the artist's feeling at its highest moment.
German Expressionism is another style of art which is influenced by emotional or spiritual vision of world. This is divided into two sections:Die Brucke(The Bridge): an artistic community of young artists in Dresden who rejected the conservative traditions of German art. The other one is Der Blaue Reiter(The Blue Rider): a group of artists led by Kandinsky, Macke who tried to find out the common creative ground between various Expressionist art forms.
Abstract Art consists of 2 different ways of abstraction: 'Semi', 'Pure'. The word 'Abstract' refers to withdraw part of something to consider it separately. In the art form that 'something' generally refers to the element of subject, its lines, shape, patterns etcetera. Semi Abstraction uses a type of stylization involving the selection, development, refinement of specific visual elements like lines, colour to create poetic reconstruction of the subject. Pure Abstraction consists of independent visual elements as the original subject of the work.
Art works of this time were generally aimed to produce a sense of shock regarding the reality. This kind of works include Artist Damien Hirst's works include dot paintings, animals, dipped in formaldehyde, Jenny Savile's disturbing nudes, Gary Hume's abstracts and so on.
Like the Art History course, the course on Studio Art is a very interesting one among the courses of the Advanced Placement Examination. It's a series of inter-related courses like AP Art Drawing, AP Studio Art 2D and AP Studio Art 3D. Here we'll discuss about this exciting course.
Let us talk a little bit about what is Studio Art itself.
The term 'Studio Art' refers to both the performing and visual art. It places its insistence upon the applicability of the knowledge gathered by the course on Art History. It comprises of art works produced within the studio of the artists or the students individually, independent of the intervention of the syllabus.
The structure of the Studio Art course is a little bit different one. This examination focuses on 3 categories: 'Quality', 'Concentration' and 'Breadth'. The requirements of each category vary from one person to another due to the difference. Apart from the exam, the portfolios must have certain deadlines. For three different categories the exam structure has 3 different portfolios.
Studio Art drawing generally deals with the painting and drawing mainly. The main focus remains on the composition of lines, colour, shapes and size of the painting. The subject of the painting, as it seems, is not the main focus. Students of this course need to submit 5 original artworks that represent their quality of being capable an artist. Secondly, they need to create a series that represent their abilities to draw and paint in order to show their ability to represent one idea in 12 different ways. Apart from this, a student also requires to submit 12 slides more to show his or her ability to show the skills in drawing, painting, use of light and shade etc.
As the name suggests, this course focuses more on the two-dimensional approach of the art like the graphic design, photography, weaving or collage making. Unlike the Art Drawing course where the focus is on the mode of working and the production, this course focuses on the design of the work. Here the student needs to submit 5 works of art that proves the student's ability to design 2D pieces, related to 1 idea. In the second stage, the student requires to submit 12 slides of artwork, focusing on one idea. In the final stage, the student needs to submit 12 additional slides in order to prove his or her ability to produce 2D designs combining the main principles, the unity, balance, contrast, proportion, variety, the relationship between the subject and the ground.
This course focuses on the three-dimensional artistic works such as making of models, artworks made of ceramics, metal etcetera. Here also the focus lies on the design only. As the portability is a little bit problematic in these types of artworks, therefore 5 pieces of artworks can be shown in ten different slides. In the second step, like the previous ones, the student needs to submit 12 different slides containing artwork focused on one single idea. Finally, he or she needs to produce 8 slides to prove the 3D skills.
This course is most important as it helps the students to acquire both theoretical and practical knowledge and also gives them an opportunity to learn while working.

Hmmm, there aren't too many female names except your basic disney character names, like in the 3rd one there is Cinderella, Belle, Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel, Snow White. But then there is Fiona's mom The Queen Lillian or the Fairy Godmother who is evil or even Dragon, donkey's wife, a big pink dragon. In the new one coming out soon, Shrek Forever After there is going to be a Gretchen but I don't know the part of the character yet, whether they are good or evil.
Not a great female selection but I'll attach the cast names.

If you have limewire or kazaa or something like that where you can download music, normally you can just type in a phrase in the song in the title bar and most songs with that phrase will pop up then you can just go through and see which one you are looking for. Also I have heard of a web site that lets you type in some lyrics and it will pop up all the songs with those lyrics in it, but cant remember what it is called also I haven't seen the movie yet. Maybe you can type in the Movie on the search bar and see if it has a list of all the songs on the movie, sometimes they don't put all the songs on the soundtrack if the film makers came up with them. Hope this helps!

This cloak is highly underrated for warriors and rogues.
The lack of stamina is a bit of a hindrance, however the strength and agility make it an excellent choice for a DPS warrior.
I'm wondering why the SS is someone wearing MH/BT shoulders, what looks like the end of Tempest of Chaos, Chronicle of Dark Secrets, Robes of Rhonin and I can't guess on the gloves.
People are drooling over the Sunwell/BT items to care about a poor little cape from BWL anyways.

Sam Pitroda Accuses BJP of Distorting His Remarks on Anti-Sikh Riots

As his "so what" remarks on anti-Sikh riots kicked up a storm, senior Congress leader Sam Pitroda on Friday accused the BJP of "distorting the truth" and said things of the past are not relevant in this election.

"I have noticed how BJP is again twisting three words from my interview to distort facts, divide us and hide their failures. Sad that they have nothing positive to offer," he said. Also Read - Tripura Congress Chief's Car Attacked Allegedly by BJP Workers, Party Calls For Strike
"I acknowledged the pain of my Sikh brothers and sisters during difficult times in 1984 and deeply feel for the atrocities that happened. Also Read - Shatabdi Roy Meets Mamata's Nephew Abhishek Banerjee, Says She Is Not Leaving TMC
"But these are things from past that are not really relevant to this election which is all about what did Modi government do for the last five years. Rajiv Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi will never target a group of people based on creed," he stated.
Pitroda, a close aide of Rahul Gandhi and overseas Congress' head had on Thursday reportedly said, "so what, it happened" about the 1984 anti-Sikh riots.
He said the BJP is talking about these issues and attacking Congress leaders with "lies" because they cannot talk about their performance and have no vision to take India forward to inclusively growth and prosperity for all with focus on jobs, kids and more jobs.
"Truth is being distorted, lies are being amplified through social media and targeted. People are systematically being intimidated. However, truth will always prevail and lies will be exposed. It is just a matter of time. Have patience," he said.
"For all those who would be voting on May 12th and 19th, I want to remind that the phones and computers you use are because PM Rajiv Gandhi in mid-1980s provided political will, policies, leadership, wisdom and needed funding to build foundation & platform to connect India.
"Rajiv Gandhi took many bold initiatives to plant seeds for technology missions on water, literacy, immunization, cooking oil, milk production, and telecom. Today we have eradicated polio and we are the largest producer of milk. He introduced Panchayati Raj and many novel schemes," he said.
Pitroda also said that Rajiv Gandhi believed in promoting and investing in Science and Technology and he regularly spent quality time with scientific advisory council to the PM and scientists. He initiated India's supercomputer work at C-DAC and established TIFAC.
In reply to a tweet, he said, "You accused Nehru, people realized the truth …You accused Indira…People realized the truth…Now accusing Rajiv as none is left and people already know truth that 'Feku' cannot be true."

Whoa. This is big, folks.
The latest opponent for Harley Rouda told the OC Register that he's a proud "America First, MAGA constitutionalist". Chip in to help Harley fight back.
His name is James Bradley and we need to make sure his extremist views have no home here in the 48th District. Last year, running against Senator Dianne Feinstein, he placed third in a field of 32 and was the highest ranking Republican, with over a half million votes.
We are already organizing the 48th to make sure we don't lose what we won last year. California was ground zero for our Blue Wave last year, and it'll be the center of the fight again. Your donation will make a critical difference right now.
Harley is making real progress in Congress, and that means the threats are real and we have to stay ahead of them.
Chip in right now and let's build on our momentum!

The Hon. Speaker of Parliament, Sheku B.B Dumbuya has taken the Presidential Oath of Office as contained in the Second Schedule of the 1991 Constitution of Sierra Leone, following the departure of President Ernest Bai Koroma on Saturday 26th September, 2015 to attend the United Nations General Assembly in New York, United States of America. The Hon. Vice President, Victor Bockarie Foh had earlier left for the Sister Republic of Liberia, where he has recently been decorated with a Doctoral Degree "honoris gratia" by the Cuttington University in Monrovia.
This is in accordance with Section 54 subsection 6 of Act No 6 of the 1991 Constitution of Sierra Leone which provides that "Whenever the President and Vice-President are both for any reason unable to perform the functions of the President, the Speaker of Parliament shall perform those functions, and shall take and subscribe the oath of office as set out in the Second Schedule before commencing to perform those functions".
"I Hon. Sheku B. B Dumbuya do hereby (in the name of God swear) that I will at all times well and truly discharge the duties of the office of the President of the Republic of Sierra Leone according to law, that I will preserve, support, uphold, maintain, and defend the Constitution of the Republic of Sierra Leone as by law established, and that I will do right to all manner of people according to law, without fear or favour, affection or ill-will. (So help me God.)".
After the oath had been administered, the acting President of Sierra Leone, Hon. SBB Dumbuya in his twin capacity as Speaker of Parliament remarked that "even a day's King is a King" followed by applause. Since Saturday 26th September, 2015 to date, the Speaker continues to perform the functions of the President as provided by law, until the President or his Vice returns to the country.
In the event where the Vice President returns home before the President, as dictated by law, he can act in the capacity of the President, but cannot take the President's Oath as in the case of the Hon. Speaker of Parliament.


Unless you're a farmer or an avid gardener, you probably don't know much about fertilizers. You put some down and your lawn gets greener and your tomatoes bigger.
For people living next door to a farm field, fertilizers have become a worry as some farmers use treated human waste to enrich their soil.
Biosolids are the byproduct of treated sewage sludge. While treated liquids are released into creeks and rivers, something has to be done with the treated solids. Virginia farmers, who use pricey chemical fertilizer, are happy to get it for free. Last year, farms in more than half of Virginia's 133 localities applied biosolids to fertilize crops not consumed by humans such as pine tree farms or animal feed. Most of it comes from municipal sewage treatment plants in D.C. and Maryland.
David Hudnall farms about 3,000 acres in the Northern Neck of Virginia. "I tell you the truth it's got a use. I hate to see it dumped in a landfill," Hudnall says. "Cause it's gonna come back and haunt the future generations."
In 2008, Hudnall received the Clean Water Farm Award for his farming practices in preserving water quality. He's used biosolids on some of his fields and isn't a fan of the process. "It should be pelletized where we can spread it with our own equipment. The equipment they have is dated," Hudnall says. "They have to drive down the field one way and spread coming back and the whole time it's just packing the land up."
For most of us, the idea of spreading human waste for crops is counterintuitive. Of the two types of biosolids, Type A and B, Type B contains traces of pathogens that could cause pink eye, stomach flu and the common cold. So last year, the General Assembly directed it's independent, non-partisan research arm, the Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission, to look into potential health effects.
Mark Gribbon led the project. "The case is pretty compelling that while there are things in biosolids that are harmful to people, the concentrations are pretty low and in most cases there is little risk that they are going to get to people," Gribbon says.
During application, when biosolids can become airborne, a person down wind, outside, and breathing in the material for several hours could be infected. "It looks like the state is doing an adequate job of regulating it," Gribbon says "but there were some places where it looks like there might be some changes to regulation to better protect public health. There's also some additional work that could be done to really verify that this is a safe practice."
Lynton Land tends to his oysters.
baby oysters to sell to local oyster gardeners. He says cheap fertilizers are killing the bay. "Economics is what drives all this," Land says. "Land application is touted to be cheapest because you're not paying an honest price for it. Pollution costs but nobody's paying for it."
Biosolids are controversial but the fact remains they are strictly regulated, unlike chicken litter that is readily used on farm fields in the Shenandoah Valley and around the Chesapeake Bay. While farmers are often blamed for summer dead zones in the bay, the Environmental Protection Agency has pointed to waterfront homeowners who dump too much fertilizer on their lawns.
David Hudnall says he's used to the accusations. "The only time they're not complaining about a farmer is in a snowstorm. That's when they're not complaining about farmers," Hudnall jokes. "They don't want to see us on a highway. They don't like the dust going across the highway. But they all want to eat good."
The General Assembly must now decide whether to act on the JLARC recommendations. Meanwhile, municipal sewage treatment plants like Washington D.C.'s Blue Plains Plant are upgrading, which will reduce pathogens and Type B biosolids.

Q: Automate the Boring Stuff with Python outdated instructions for launching Selenium browser --------Reply to Post being Labeled as a Duplicate question
Since I am still learning the programming basics I was not sure whether the material on the alternate post was relevant especially since I was on the first example of code in the the section.  So I believe it's beneficial to have the exact code requested by the textbook with note of the error and key words which will improve search engine rank for people troubleshooting common errors in Automate the Boring Stuff with Python.  This unique phrasing of the question herein the post will help fellow beginners using this book understand the error is a result of outdated programming instructions.*
Also, special kudos to my friend here, Stef Verdonka, who has responded with simple and easy to understand fix.
Automate the Boring Stuff with Python outdated instructions for launching Selenium browser
Solution
*********See Stef Verdonk's answer.
Original post
I am a noob python programmer and have recently been pushing through my first textbook on this language called "Automate the Boring Stuff with Python".  I have gotten to the web scraping section and I am being instructed to access firefox via Selenium.  I have found a few resources online about my error message but I do not have enough experience to relate back to a solution for myself.  Here is the code and then error code it leaves.
from selenium import webdriver
browser = webdriver.Firefox()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#1>", line 1, in <module>
browser = webdriver.Firefox()
File "C:\Python35-32\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\firefox\webdriver.py", line 81, in __init__
self.binary, timeout)
File "C:\Python35-32\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\firefox\extension_connection.py", line 51, in __init__
self.binary.launch_browser(self.profile, timeout=timeout)
File "C:\Python35-32\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\firefox\firefox_binary.py", line 68, in launch_browser
self._wait_until_connectable(timeout=timeout)
File "C:\Python35-32\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\firefox\firefox_binary.py", line 98, in _wait_until_connectable
raise WebDriverException("The browser appears to have exited "
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: The browser appears to have exited before we could connect. If you specified a log_file in the FirefoxBinary constructor, check it for details.

So I believe that my firefox does not support Selenium as it has in past versions.  link to back this up:  FirefoxDriver will stop working at version 47 of Firefox
So that's all I've got right now I would appreciate some help on this and I think it would help a lot of a lot of other people out if we could format a simple solution to this problem that seems to be pretty common.  Sorry if this has been asked.  I've looked through a lot of the questions on here and just couldn't get any success.
I'm using python 3.5 on windows 10

A: You were already half way with the link you provided. Since the latest firefox 47 upgrade. The selenium web-driver has become deprecated and you will need Marionette to run firefox:
Instructions here
Another solution which would allow you to keep using existing scripts is to downgrade firefox. For wich I would suggest downgrading to version 45 (ESR version). This will ensure that you can still get security updates:
Download firefox 45 ESR

The Heath Business and Technical Park's award-winning glassblower Paul Le Pinnet has written a specialist technical book on scientific glassblowing which is the first text book on the subject to be published in more than 30 years.
Commissioned by World Scientific Publishing Europe, one of the world's leading academic publishers, the book was officially launched at an event staged at The Heath on Wednesday, June 7th and attended by friends, family and former colleagues of Paul who retired last year from his position with SOG Group, owner and operator of the business and technical park.
WSPE approached Paul following a feature on him which appeared in the Daily Mirror and discovering that there had been no book written on the intricate technical skills of scientific glassblowing for decades. It took Paul, who lives in Warrington, Cheshire, over two years to produce 'Laboratory Scientific Glassblowing — A Practical Training Method' which is the ultimate authority on the science.
Paul's book is being published both in print and as an e-book. It is targeted towards students, established glassblowers and academic institutions in an effort to give a better understanding of glass and the techniques involved in scientific glassblowing.
Paul told guests attending the book launch that he had been fascinated by glass since his student days which evolved into studying the art of scientific glassblowing, and his book represented over 50 years' experience in the subject.
SOG Managing Director John Lewis was the inspiration behind maintaining and developing the scientific glassblowing department after SOG had purchased The Heath from ICI, inheriting skilled technical staff. Mr Lewis said that scientific glassblowing had no longer been required by ICI and when they first met Paul had told him there was no work to do. However, Mr Lewis said that because of Paul's monumental talent and skill, SOG decided to use the glassblowing section as the shop window for the Park and it turned into a spectacular success.
Mr Lewis said it had been a remarkable 17 years in which Paul's department provided services to science businesses across the UK and around the world and became the focus of numerous high-profile visits to The Heath by Royalty, Government Ministers and trade delegations. Paul himself was called upon to give lectures around the country on glassblowing, was commissioned to write a book on the subject and then awarded the MBE.
Paul, one of only around 150 scientific glassblowers in the UK, stumbled into the profession by accident while training as a chemist. After breaking glass vessels in experiments, he was told by a glassblower that he should learn how to fix them. He went on to study at Manchester University before joining ICI and then SOG Group where he worked with research chemists, physicists and biochemists from his technical laboratory at The Heath.
A fellow of The British Society of Scientific Glassblowers, he has written numerous scientific papers, contributed to glassblowing journals and spoken at global glassblowing symposiums but this is the first time he has written a book on the subject. He was awarded an MBE last year for services to scientific glassblowing.
The Heath, which was established as a business park in 2000, has attracted over 175 British and international companies, ranging from bio science firms to IT specialists, from food industry consultants to website designers, and from government agencies to telemarketing specialists. Residents have been attracted by the 60-acre business park's vast range of impressive facilities and its flexibility in space management and in attitude. The Heath offers a wide range of office and laboratory space, together with a purpose-built conference centre that includes a 120-seat lecture theatre. Residents can also choose from a wide selection of additional services, including telephone and broadband connectivity, laboratory support services, scientific glass-blowing and precision engineering facilities, to name but a few. Residents also have access to The Heath's fitness centre and gym. Combined with 1,700 parking spaces, its first-class transport links - and the ability for residents to select and pay for just the services they require - it's no surprise that the number of companies on The Heath is continuing to grow rapidly.

The folding rule
Hultafors - Ireland
The story of Hultafors started in 1883 when a young engineer, Karl-Hilmer Johansson Kollén, invented a measuring device that would facilitate Sweden's conversion to the metric system.
Man has always had a need to measure distance. In 1790, Talleyrand's national assembly ordered the Royal Academy of Sciences to produce a system of measurement units 'For all times, for all people'. The result was the metric system. Almost 100 years later the metric system was officially introduced in Sweden which meant that the old distance measurements were to be gradually phased out.
In Stockholm at that time, there lived a headstrong architect called Karl-Hilmer Johansson Kollén. He was commissioned to design details for a theatre, but refused on religious grounds and resigned his position. When the news about the new metric system came he quickly realised the educational value of being able to see both measurement systems at the same time. He developed a comparison rule. This was quite simply a measuring rule that showed both the old inches and the new centimetres. The problem was that the rule was awkward to handle in a single long piece. Hence Karl-Hilmer's next innovation – a rule that you could fold. The folding rule was born.
The first folding rule factory
An English lady who had heard about the new idea funded the first production of the folding rule. She invested 5,000 Swedish kronor and the rule manufacturing company Svenska Mått- och Tumstocksfabriken was established on Folkungagatan in Stockholm in 1883. It quickly became a success. When the factory in Stockholm became too small, Karl-Hilmer decided to move the factory to Gothenburg, his hometown
The owners were afraid that the business could be exposed to acts of espionage. To keep the secrets concerning production practices safe, several actions were taken. For example, the factory's windows were made of raw glass for a long time and the employees' appeals for clear glass, at least at the top of the windows, were denied. During each break the factory was vacated and locked; a guard let the workers back in 5 minutes before the break was over. When there were external visitors, some parts of the factory were barricaded. Although these may seem extreme measures, the owners never doubted the loyalty of the workers.
The laundry house
Close to the waterfall where the original factory stood, a small brick building was erected in 1945. The building was used as a laundry facility by the staff and their families. The staff received a 10% discount to use the facilities and it was quite popular. When housing standards became better in the 1960s along with the installation of washing machines in private homes, the laundry house lost some of its importance.
This is how we make them
In the folding rule factory, in Hultafors Sweden, we make our classic folding rule. The model 59, in downy birch with red painted ends. All parts are made locally by a skilled and efficient workforce.

The company has now fully outlined its ambitious dual-screen foldable device, straddling the line between the premium smartphone segment, and a new form factor for mobile productivity. And if you're eager to get hands-on before the street date, Surface Duo is now on display at select Best Buy locations.
Microsoft previously detailed planned hands-on opportunities with Best Buy and AT&T starting August 28, with the first devices seemingly appearing on store shelves. We're seeing several reports of Surface Duo demo stations present in-store, including images of its Grand Rapids, MI installation via Reddit user /r/caileanislucid. However, expect the presence of devices to vary widely between locations, making it best to inquire before visiting.
The Surface Duo does a lot different from past Microsoft devices, switching to a customized spin on the Android operating system. These hands-on opportunities provide a chance to experience both the hardware and software in-hand — the latter an experience even us reviewers aren't currently able to discuss.
There are still ways to learn more about Surface Duo for those who aren't comfortable visiting a store, given the current global climate. We recently received our Surface Duo, with our full unboxing and hardware hands-on impressions providing a peek into that launch-day experience. The Microsoft Store is also hosting scheduled virtual sessions, which provides a complete device walkthrough, and space for a brief Q&A.

Two screens are better than one
Microsoft delves into the future of foldables with an ambitious dual-screen device, featuring two ultra-thin 5.6-inch AMOLED displays bound by a 360-degree hinge. This pocketable inking-enabled Android smartphone marks the latest in the Surface lineup, geared for mobile productivity.

really wish it had wireless charging and nfc. if it did, I would have preordered it. It look like it is going to be a good phone and something different.
Those are the two show-stoppers for me too. I'm not sure that I would have bought one anyway, given the price, but if they can address those two points for v2 then I'm in. I think the fact that each half is so thin could be a challenge when it comes to fitting wireless charging coils in. The challenge regarding NFC could be deciding which side of the device it works on, although the thinness could actually help in that regard, which one NFC chip possibly working through front and back. If it only worked on one side, I can see some people being unhappy either way. It would annoying to have to either open or close the device in order to use NFC. Also, which half do they put it in? When the device is closed, the right half (without the Microsoft logo) would be considered the back but, when it's open, the half with the logo would be considered the back in most cases. These considerations may be the motivation for forgoing NFC in this generation.
It has faults, a lot of them actually, but it truly is an engineering marvel. 4.8mm thick alone is crazy! Calling my Best Buy today to see if they have one just to hold it, but still think caution is the wise course here. At $1400 + accessories I need to build a return on investment case. It is truly disappointing it's missing features common in "lesser" phones of comparable price. Waiting for the early adopters honeymoon period to wear off and hear real reports of actual usage. But wow! That's Tesla-esque, Porsche-esque, engineering on display there.
The missing features may be disappointing, but it has features not available anywhere else. There are no other foldables with pen enabled screens. When looking at the price, I think you need to consider this has two SamsungNote screens which is as expensive, and it folds (sorta) like the Galaxy Z Fold2, which is more expensive than the Duo. Adding in those missing features would likely have pumped the price up even higher and further stressed the engineering this go around. You have to decide for yourself if these are deal breakers for you.
True, the price could have been higher I suppose, but still disappointing. I was asking myself if I'd buy a Tesla if it didn't have a backup camera? Heated seats? Or Bluetooth? And I don't think I would, even with all the other cool features. As for Duo, it's just a lot of dough to be forking out for what feels like an ultra-premium, but oddly experimental, device.
People don't buy tesla for the bells and whistles. They buy for the unique tesla features (namely, bring electric). In fact nearly all the rivals have better build quality and more features. If the Model 3 was a gas car, it would be way below a Toyota Camry.
The new Camrys -- especially the XSEs, V6s -- are great.
So you're saying Teslas don't have a backup camera, heated seats, or Bluetooth? Very common features? If not I just feel sad for buyers. I'm happy as a clam driving around my Santa Fe loaded with all those and more.
Anyone check it out yet. I joined the Microsoft live demo and it is compelling and cool. They would not show the camera on the live demo, not even the app. Wonder it it will be passable or real rough... That is my one hold out and why I won't pre order. Going to wait for a review. For $1400 this needs to be my only phone so the camera has to be OK. I'll settle for OK but cant use horable...
mutant 9, that's 100% my thinking at this point. I'm hoping to hear the camera is at least "OK", good enough that I can justify making this my one device.
I am guessing they are not showing the Os/app yet because they might be working on fine tuned Os/Apps for immediate SW/FW update upon power up.
Remember I am guessing
The app is fine, there's been a couple of videos put up on YouTube by people visiting AT&T stores to check out the Duo.
So I went to an ATT store and they had a DUO on display.. I played around with the device.. the software/apps are really smooth while changing orientations.. very little lag... Also, the device is incredibly thin.. I don't know how MS achieved that..
Now to camera. I don't know how the AI knows when it's a selfie but it automatically changes what screen it displays on.. that was cool..
I took a couple of pics.. they looked good/ok, I couldn't take the phone outside (obviously) to take pics so I had to contend with indoor pics..
Indoor is a harder test. Even bad cameras can take good photos in sun lighting.
Went to both my local Best Buy and AT&T, neither one a demo, unfortunately.
I expect you will just be able to look at them either place. With the review unit embargo until the 10th, I can't imagine you will be able to do much with the demo units. Wouldn't make sense to risk hundreds of 5 minute in depth reviews.
You can use them in the store. People have done so. You allegedly can't install apps, but things like the camera can be tried out.
So, just thinking...What would keep someone from doing an impromptu hands on review in a Best Buy or AT&T stores being told by Microsoft to not allow this to occur?
They're probably not going to let you mill about and mess with it for the hours needed to do a meaningful review. Obviously, you can't test battery life. You probably can't install apps to test out things that aren't optimized for the Duo. You aren't going to get to test quality of the call audio or reception. You won't get to get the GPS quality. You aren't going to be able to test video call quality. You won't get to use it for an extended period to test out how much it heats up. You won't get to test how well the screen does in direct sunlight. You'll get to test little with the camera, including not being able to test low-light image quality or how it does with HDR and such in an outdoor setting. You probably won't even get to try out pen input much, if at all. On top of all of that, it's totally possible that we see a Day One update to fix little things discovered by reviewers. Those things you try out might be improved...or not...by the time the thing officially launches.
Great points, Keith.
I'll bet you can't even do that. The official review units that went out are enjoined to not comment beyond they got them, here it is unboxed, until the 10th. I can't imagine they are going to have fully functioning units out there for every Tom, Dick and Harry to mess with and take pictures of.
Those were my guess and thought exactly.
Actually, they're typical best buy demo units. Meaning they're out if box and just plugged in often with no prep. If you launch the office app, for example, you see it hasn't been set up at all. If Microsoft wants to show off demo units, they need to have the devices fully updated with all the apps pre set up so that a customer doesn't launch an app and have to go through tedious setup screens.
I wouldn't trust BestBuy or cell carrier sales people as they only focus on iPhones and Galaxy devices the same way they did with WP. Those devices are there bread and butter so they have no interest in learning anything else. I hope none of your here believe they will.
As others online have noted, there are employees who are "Microsoft Experts" at these stores. They are MS-paid staff who work at BB, and they are apparently responsible for setting things up.
Dude, Microsoft paid BestBuy to put a Microsoft section in their stores which at the time didn't have a dedicated Apple section and guess what happened 2-3 months into that deal? BestBuy made a dedicated Apple section put it up front and moved all Microsoft surface item to the very back of the store just like the cellular carries did. This is fact... Fry's Electronics also did the same.
In every Best Buy around me, the Microsoft section is in front of the Apple section.
First is general PC stuff, Second is MS stuff, and next is Apple stuff.
The Apple section is a lot bigger than the MS section, but it probably should be since Apple sell a bigger variety of products.
You are correct. The deal with Best Buy was for the Windows section (that's what the sign says), is the largest of the store within a store sections of Best Buy and is usually, depending on limitations of the physical building, prominently centered at the rear of the store. In the three BB's around me, that is exactly where they are and are directly in your line of sight entering the store. I've also seen the Windows section in other parts of the store in smaller BB stores.
at&t wanted to sell a surface duo so they let me play with it :) https://youtu.be/7yZBY9u3nzg
Nice video! Thanks for that. I'm with everyone else in waiting for a v2 that hopefully will have NFC at least, if not Qi as well. I also have been burned by MS too many times with other products that they abandon, so I want to make sure it has some staying power. Props to the early adopters like you who will hopefully spur v2 :)
"So, just thinking...What would keep someone from doing an impromptu hands on review in a Best Buy or AT&T stores being told by Microsoft to not allow this to occur?"
Microsoft can't stop anyone. But, except calling it a "review" is an insult to my job 😂 Seriously, if you think filming a two-handed device running outdate software with one hand after using the phone for 5 mins is as good as pro reviews who used the device in-and-out for 2 weeks with updated software, then I'm not sure what to say besides expect some different results.
I am one of the few people that actually use a mobile phone as a phone. Currently using the Essential PH-1, and it a really good phone, but my house specifically has dead zones for ATT coverage. They finally added Wifi calling, but I don't think it works well. ATT has been pretty bad at allowing Wifi calling on 'random' phones, but since they are selling the Duo hopefully it will be included and works as good as Iphones. Similarly, I am hoping that the antenna in the phone is better (my wife's One Plus 6 has consistently more 'bars' than I have for example).
I don't know... have to sleep on it... but I'm heavily leaning toward not even bothering with risking Covid at Best Buy or waiting for the 3 to 6 months reviews. I found this Galaxy Note 10 Lite for $459 www.ebay.com/i/352975616557. I've found several deals like this. Fully compatible with latest YourPhone features, takes great triple camera array photos, has a 6.7 inch screen (wow!), 855 Snapdragon (not sure why they call this "lite"?), Dual Sim, NFC, and has the bloody pen included in the price. Bottom line... I am 99.9% sure I'm waiting for v2 of Duo. Or perhaps even v3. I think the Panos Panay sales job has finally wore off. But a sincere thank you to all you early adopters out there willing to figure out for us whether having two screens on a phone really makes you a more "productive" person, or just a workaholic. btw I think I'll take the $1000 I'm saving and get a Surface Pro or Surface Pro X and splurge on the Alcantera keyboard or Keyboard/Slim Pen combo. That + YourPhone + Galaxy Note should make me about as productive as I need to be.
"... really makes you ..., or just a fanboi." I'll also wait for v2 or v3 while paying off a Note 9 and holding out for a committed Android phone vendor to show what they can do making a phone better, even as a WiFi hotspot for a non-boutique bit of hardware fluff. No more MS early adoption. It's not going to make you the next Elon Musk or even "hot runner", cuz they have lackeys who do it all for them.
I tried Duo out! Definitely the coolest device in the store today. This hardware is SUPER LUXURIOUS. This is beyond high end. Definitely a different experience here vs a traditional smartphone.. And, the device works great the 6gb of ram, and the 855.. The biggest surprise was the camera was actually not too bad. It's very acceptable. It's nowhere near world class, but I will be fine using it. It honestly was almost as good as my Note9's camera. Just slightly less sharp. But the camera is definitely not a problem anymore. It's fine. 🤷🏾♂👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
I've got anxiety waiting for mine to come in. My screen protectors will be in tomorrow. I'm pumped as Paynos Panay says!
Really though if one wants a "world class" camera, why not simply buy a TA-DA camera?
That's my thoughts, every photo taken with my galaxy looks great until put next to a mirrorless compact camera, then you notice all the short comings, both look terrible when compared to a semi pro digital SLR, if I have to take photos for work, I'll take along either of the proper cameras because the phone one is just not good enough. I don't recall ever seeing a review of a phone camera put against a proper digital SLR, probably for good reason, it's best to compare iPhone vs Samsung the show up the shortcomings of both.
11 MP is a strange resolution.
I would expect 10 MP or 12 MP.
I'm more worried about battery life. If anyone plays with it atAT&T or Best Buy long enough see if you can unplug it and watch battery drain for 10 min. I've got mine pre ordered but would like to save the hastle if the battery sucks.
The Best Buy in Rancho Cucamonga has their display out as well, I was able to try it out for a while, it runs really smooth. The spanning works well with the MSN news app. Office and outlook were not setup so I could not test. The device feels solid and the hinge feel sturdy and consistent from front to the back. It's going to be a long for mine to arrive
waiting for mine to arrive!!
Seen some videos of it in operation on you tube, this thing is crippled by the Android operating system and it is just too big for a phone... Would rather spend this kind of money on a Surface Pro for productivity and get something like a Nokia 7.2 which is so much more pocketable... Is it possible to use the Surface Duo with only one screen like a normal phone and extend battery life?
I was able to play with one today since I've already preordered a Duo. I really hope they patch the software before launch because the unit I used crashed twice. It started with a flickering in Chrome, followed by unresponsive screen, then the duo restarted. Here's an IMGUR link: https://imgur.com/gallery/lV86WyH
Did it do the same with Edge on the same site? I am going to try it when I go back.
As I noted on Twitter, I'm seeing some demo units running older software as well as the demo software on it, which can cause issues. Seeing the hw in person and trying the software is great, but it's still best to wait for reviews to get a more controlled analysis.
This. Particularly the way some of these folks have shown themselves using the device, it is like they've never used a phone before: rapidly jabbing at one icon after another, confusing the demo software for the underlying OS, and even complaining about the Duo being hard to use as they handle a device tethered to the table with one hand while filming themselves with the other.
Did anyone else think it felt plastic-y and cheap? With the glass sides (felt like acrylic) and because it felt so light it honestly felt kind of cheap. I was only briefly able to try it at the AT&T store I visited and it was definitely buggy and slow, but that could've been due to the demo running in the background. I restarted it for kicks to see the boot screen but it was very uninspiring with just a white windows log on the left screen and a standard android boot screen on the right-screen. I almost cancelled my pre-order but decided to give it a chance. I've already got the slim pen and am just waiting for another 10 days to get the device. I hope it grows on me.
I also think it's ridiculous that professional reviewers are embargoed, yet anyone can walk into a BestBuy or AT&T store and upload a video showing them playing around with the device. (Although I've watched over a dozen of them this weekend as I drooled ever so slightly... ;-)

The Dunántúli Regionális Vízművek Zrt (DRV) (Transdanubian regional waterworks) has a significant role in the Hungarian water utilities sector: they provides drinking water supply to nearly 830,000 residents in nearly 400 municipalities, and they provides sewage disposal and treatment for 604,000 people in 211 municipalities in Baranya, Fejér, Somogy, Tolna, Veszprém and Zala counties.
DRV has decided to implement a higher level of IT support than existing one to improve the efficiency of its investment processes. DRV has published a tender for an optimal IT support system, and Geometria won this tender. DRV – by the offer of Geometria – has chosen the BerTi (link to BerTi) solution which has been working successfully for years in the Fővárosi Vízművek Zrt. The BerTi system to be implemented allows the support of the whole DRV investment process and the creation of the development plan quickly and efficiently in compliance with the provisions of the current Water Utility Act.
According to the schedule the system will be introduced by the end of 2018, then will be a three-month introduction supporting period.
