P D Chantler; Calcium-dependent association of a protein complex with the lymphocyte plasma membrane: probable identity with calmodulin-calcineurin.. J Cell Biol 1 July 1985; 101 (1): 207–216. doi: https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.101.1.207
A protein complex is shown to participate in a calcium-dependent association with plasma membranes purified either from pig mesenteric lymph node lymphocytes or from human lymphoblastoid cell lines. Plasma membranes prepared in the presence of calcium possess this complex; those prepared in the absence of calcium (5 mM EGTA) do not. The complex associates itself with the inner cytoplasmic surface of the plasma membrane. This complex is referred to as the "acidic protein band" because of its location during migration upon alkaline-urea gel electrophoresis. The complex dissociates from the plasma membrane during electrophoresis on 8-M urea gels, irrespective of calcium levels during electrophoresis; at intermediate urea concentrations (4-6 M), the complex is not dissociated in the presence of calcium. Upon purification of the acidic protein band, SDS acrylamide gel electrophoresis, immunoblotting, and radioimmunoassay techniques suggest that the acidic protein band is composed of at least four peptides (designated 68K, 59K, 20K, 20K): two of these (68K, 20K) are immunopositive for calcineurin and one (20K) is immunopositive for calmodulin. Immunoblots of urea gels also indicate that the calcineurin heavy chain (68K) can also appear at three different locations on the urea gel. Patches and caps induced in human peripheral blood lymphocytes by fluorescein-conjugated goat anti-human IgG are not coincident with the location of calcineurin, which remains distributed throughout the cell.

Upper East Side Description
Mad Men Cocktail Tour is located in the Upper East Side neighborhood of Manhattan. How best to describe one of the most famous neighborhoods in the United States? Aside from the extreme concentration of the rich and the famous, their opulent dwellings, and the army of doormen, butlers and chauffeurs who serve them, the Upper East Side is also a showcase for some of America's finest cultural establishments.
Walk along Fifth Avenue's Museum Mile which features a veritable plethora of artistic and cultural institutions. For some of the best contemporary art collections, visit the Cooper Hewitt Design Museum and the recently renovated cylindrical wonder that is the Guggenheim. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, the Guggenheim has always prided itself on being home to innovative and at times controversial works of art since its inception in 1959. There's also the Jewish Museum, one of the world's largest and most important institutions devoted to exploring the remarkable scope and diversity of Jewish culture.
Of course, no visit to Museum Mile would be complete without to the city's crown jewel, the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Many special exhibits complement the permanent displays at the Met, yet the collection is so vast that the huge storage areas under Central Park are bursting with pictures, sculptures and other objects d'art. From rare, ancient Egyptian relics to medieval coats of armor to a costume gallery that spans seven centuries it's almost impossible to see everything in one visit, so multiple trips may be necessary. In addition, visit the nearby Whitney Museum of American Art and see thousands of works of art including collections by seminal artists such as Edward Hopper, Alexander Calder and Reginald Marsh. The Asia Society Museum, and Frick Collection are also nearby.
The official residence of New York City's mayor, Gracie Mansion, is at the northern end of Carl Schurz Park on 89th Street. The main floor of the mansion is open to the public and is a showcase for art and antiques created by New York designers, cabinetmakers, painters and sculptors. Tours must be reserved in advance however.
From glamorous Fifth and Park Avenues to the fashionable townhouses in the East Sixties, Seventies and Eighties, there are too many noteworthy addresses to list, but a veritable Who's Who of American society can be found here and if you're lucky, you might even get a glimpse of it. For your best bet, try dinner at Elaine's. While the food is essentially secondary to the patronage, it remains a great spot for celeb-spotting. Named after its famed, cantankerous owner who can still be spotted their nearly every night attending to customers, the casual bistro is a frequented by a high celebrity clientele and counts Woody Allen, Michael Caine and Jackie Onassis among its devotees. Good luck getting a reservation. If it's fresh seafood you're craving try Atlantic Grill. Sample the daily selection of oysters and clams on the half shell from the raw bar. Or try their unique take on sushi and sashimi. Restaurant Daniel is another great dining option renowned for its award-winning French cuisine and elegant atmosphere.
The Upper East Side is also home to some of the most luxurious hotels in New York. There's the classic Carlyle, which has been called home by leaders in world affairs, business, society, entertainment and the arts since its debut in 1930. The Carlyle remains a landmark of elegance and refined taste. Other prestigious hotels in the area include The Mark, which has been cited as one of the top 100 U.S. and Canada hotels in a Travel + Leisure's readers' poll and the sophisticated Lowell. A bit further south at the southeastern corner of Central Park, of course there's the most legendary hotel of them all, The Plaza, which set the standard for luxury when it opened over a century ago. The tradition continues following a recently completed $400 million, two-year renovation. The passion and uncompromising service, which made the hotel a legend, has returned with a new and contemporary spirit.

Insight by WAEPA
Your 2021 federal pay raise is still up in the air
This content is sponsored by WAEPA.
December is usually the time when someone – usually the president, sometimes Congress – finalizes federal pay for the next year.
To date, it's unclear what the outcome will be for federal employees in 2021.
President Donald Trump proposed a 1% across-the-board federal pay raise back February. The proposal didn't include a locality pay adjustment.
But since the president submitted his federal pay raise proposal to Congress, a lot has changed. The World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 crisis a pandemic. Agencies sent the vast majority of their employees home to work indefinitely. Stocks entered a bear market, and federal employees felt the loses in their Thrift Savings Plan. Unemployment soared.
It's not incredibly surprising then that Senate Republicans offered up a federal pay proposal of their own. In a series of last minute appropriations bills, senators included provisions that would freeze pay for federal employees, political appointees and the vice president in 2021.
Senate appropriators have said the proposals were meant to kick-start negotiations between the two chambers about a long-term omnibus spending package for 2021. The current continuing resolution expires Dec. 11, and congressional leaders have said they would prefer to agree to a budget deal rather than kick the can down the road with another short-term funding solution.
Federal pay is one of those topics where congressional leaders will need to negotiate. While the Senate explicitly recommended freezing federal pay in 2021, the House deferred to the president and remained silent on the issue.
In negotiating a final version of an omnibus spending package, Congress could choose to adopt the Senate's version and freeze federal pay, or it could include a specific raise in conference legislation. Congress could also choose to stay silent on the topic, as the House has already done, which may ultimately leave it up to the president to decide at the end of the year.
No federal pay raise or freeze is official until the president signs an executive order setting pay rates for the next year.
Beyond federal pay, there are a few other provisions that federal employees should watch this month.
The Senate's budget proposals, for example, included a provision aimed at resolving the ongoing debates over the Thrift Savings Plan and the future of the international fund.
The provision would prohibit the TSP from making investments in countries that don't comply with U.S. accounting inspections or oversight. A bipartisan group of lawmakers, and the president himself, have expressed concerns with the TSP's original plans to expand the I fund's benchmark into emerging markets, including China.
The TSP eventually dropped those plans amid pressure from the White House, but the Senate seems intent on quashing any attempts by the Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board to broaden the I fund to Chinese markets.
Finally, this year's defense authorization bill contains few major provisions of note for federal employees. But the House version of the defense policy bill does include language that would expand the paid parental leave program to all federal employees.
Congress included 12 weeks of paid parental leave in the 2020 NDAA, but in the rush to push through a new program, the authors of the legislation inadvertently left out portions of the federal workforce.
A House provision would at last expand the paid parental leave program to non-screeners at the Transportation Security Administration and employees at the Federal Aviation Administration, as well as tens of thousands of temporary federal employees and members of the judicial branch workforce. It also clears up any ambiguities for medical professionals at the Veterans Health Administration.
Expanding paid parental leave to all federal employees has bipartisan support.
FEPLA, which grants federal employees up to 12 weeks of paid leave for the birth, adoption or foster placement of a new child, went into effect in October.

Q: Ubuntu 20.04: Force fractional scaling functionality in virtual machine I've set up an Ubuntu 20.04 desktop instance using VMware. Since 20.04, fractional scaling is not an experimental feature any more, but nonetheless works only on resolutions commonly used by display vendors, may it be a resolution or an aspect ratio thing.
When using an VM, there's plenty of possible resolutions in VMware, dependent on the hosts' window size. Is there a way to force fractional scaling constants (125%, 150%, etc) to be displayed on every resolution?
I'm aware of using it fullscreen and use full display resolution, but that's not the smart way all the time.
Thanks in advance.
Edit: As requested, I've added some screenshots.
This is using a common 2560x1600 resolution, you can see the scaling buttons (100%, 125%, 150% a.s.o)
This is the screenshot running an odd resolution originating from the VMware window size, so set by host. The scaling buttons are missing.
I want the buttons to be displayed on every resolution. Is that possible?

A: The scaling feature remains experimental and then further in a Virtual Ubuntu machine, the scaling option is not even available and I believe this is because of the virtual display hardware.
I am quite sure that you need a real (physical) Ubuntu machine for this to work.

A: In VMware® Workstation 16 Pro I had to enable "Stretch Mode" under Display Settings. You can access the VM's settings with CTRL+D.
Changing the settings require a restart to take effect.

The Sandakan Memorial Park commemorates the death, between January and August 1945, of approximately 2400 Australian and British prisoners of war held by the Japanese in the Sandakan POW Camp, North Borneo. The conditions in which they lived, the manner in which they were treated by their captors and the nature of their deaths, resulting from starvation, overwork, beatings and punishments concluded with more than 1000 sick and weak POWs being forced on to three brutal and arduous long marches.
In 1942 and 1943 the Japanese brought to Sandakan about 2700 Australian and British POWs, the great majority of whom had been captured at the surrender at Singapore in February 1942. They were used as a labour force to build a military airstrip. In late 1944, as the Allies advanced in the pacific, the airstrip was bombed and destroyed. Early in 1945, the Japanese decided to move the POWs 260 kilometres west into the mountains to the small settlement of Ranua. On three forced marches between January and June approximately 500 prisoners died. The remainder died at the Ranua and Sandakan Camps.
Of all those who had been alive in January 1945, by the end of August only six – all Australians – survived. Two of the six escaped into the jungle during the second march in June 1945. Assisted by local people, they were eventually picked up by Allied units. Another four escaped from Ranau in July and again, with the help of local people, were fed and hidden from the Japanese until the end of the war.
Those POWs whose bodies were recovered are buried in the Commonwealth War Graves Commission war cemetery at Labuan. Those who could not be identified, or who have no known grave, are commemorated on Memorials to the Missing at Labuan and Singapore.
The official Anzac Day Dawn Service in Sandakan is conducted by the Australian Government and is made possible with the assistance of the local communities of Sandakan. The service will be held at the Sandakan Memorial Park on Thursday, 25 April 2019, commencing at 5:30am.
The Sandakan Memorial Park is located on the site of the Second World War Sandakan Prisoner of War Camp and was built in the former grounds of the Sandakan camp in the Malaysian state of Sabah. The Sandakan Memorial Park is a part of a Sabah Forestry Reserve. The site is dedicated as a memory for all prisoners in the camp who died during the Sandakan Death Marches, and to those who died during a march to Ranua.
The memorial park is located about 1.5km southwest of the Sandakan Airport. There is approximately a 300m walk from the front gate of the memorial to the Memorial Obelisk. This walk is along a boardwalk and pebble-crete paths with stairs, the walking surfaces can become very slippery in wet conditions, sensible walking shoes are recommended.
The weather in the Sabah region in April can be extremely hot (tropical weather). The Dawn Service is conducted outdoors and visitors are exposed to the elements, with limited sheltered areas. Tropical storms and downpours have been experienced at past services. Visitors should ensure they are appropriately equipped for hot, humid and potentially wet weather. This includes bringing bottled water and appropriate clothing.
Limited medical support is provided at the Commemoration. Visitors should ensure to bring their own medication, including non-prescription pain relief medication as this is not available from authorities on site. The medical support provided is equipped for medical emergencies and is not designed to treat minor ailments.
A complimentary gunfire breakfast will be provided by the Office of Australian War Graves at the conclusion of the Dawn Service. All attendees at the service are welcome to attend.
The local Sandakan police manage all traffic arrangements outside the Memorial Park. The immediate street around the park will be a one way entry and exit for the pre-service and post-service duration. There is very limited car parking available at the park.
Attendees are responsible for their own travel arrangements to and from Sandakan Memorial Park. No public transport will be provided.
Tour operators are advised to send their contact details to wargraves@dva.gov.au so that updated information can be provided.
Seating at the commemoration is not allocated or reserved (other than a limited area for Accessible Seating visitors who have registered) and is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Some sections have restricted and/or indirect views of the Commemoration. There is a possibility large groups may not be seated together.
Limited assistance will be available for visitors at the commemoration who have registered a health or accessibility requirement. Evidence from your General Practitioner may be requested to support your registration. Those requesting accessible seating are able to have one carer with them to provide assistance. Consideration may be given to accompanying guests. Unfortunately due to limited accessible seating, it is not possible to extend this service to others travelling with their groups, please send your contact details.
Visitors attending the Dawn Service who are unable to stand for long periods of time are advised to contact Overseas Memorials at wargraves@dva.gov.au or register by calling the DVA General Enquiries line on 1800 555 254 before 1 April 2019.
There is no wheelchair transport provided to and from the Sandakan Memorial Park.

You have been investing in God's work and have been laying up treasure in heaven. You have empowered African Moons! You have made it possible for us to scholarship students, build Bruton Dormitory and furnish it with all new furniture. Donors made it possible for an internet tower to be erected at the college. Then last month the Computer Lab became a reality! There are exciting days ahead.
August 7th, Joel will be attending the 2017 General Council of the Assemblies of God. This will be an opportunity to meet pastors and share with them the upcoming projects of African Moons.
Phase One for the housing needs of Northern Bible College was Bruton Dormitory. It was completed and furnished for 88 students.
Phase Two will further the mission of educating and training more ministry students to share the Gospel.
This rendering is African Moons next major project, a THREE STORY DORMITORY for the Northern Bible College! Project Manager, William Geter, Jr., has been working on the plans and budget for this new dorm.
The budget is $350,000. The dormitory will accommodate 240 students! It will have full bathroom facilities and showers, wardrobes and study desks. The facility will have a concrete and steel frame structure with concrete masonry backup walls and a plaster stucco exterior. It will have its own gravity water supply. Electrical power will be sufficient for every room and emergency lighting. The dormitory site improvements include new concrete entry, sidewalks hardscape and green landscaping. Students will not be turned away due to a lack of dorm rooms.
Pray that God will guide Joel as he meets pastors and that they will be open to partnering with African Moons for the construction and furnishing of this next dormitory.
The African Moons Golf Tournament is coming soon, It will take place September 25 at Texas Star in Euless, Texas. You can help promote the tournament just by telling friends about it, pointing them to www.africanmoons.org for information and registration. We will be sending out the Tournament Brochure in a few days. We need sponsors and players to meet the goals of the tournament – 144 Players and $10,000.
The proceeds will benefit the Shalom Center Orphanage and educational projects for Special Needs Children in Arusha Government Schools.
The next scheduled trip to Arusha is in November. "Christmas for the Shalom Center Orphanage" is in the works. There are 45 children who reside there. A list of needed items is being pr epared. These children have next to nothing. Our friends and partners have expressed a desire to do more for these children and giving them an early Christmas will be a incredible celebration. More information will be forthcoming and a schedule will be presented to you.
So, as you can see, there are exciting days ahead. When we asked God how this would all be done, we were reminded that He has done before and He will do it again.
Zechariah 4:6, "Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.
Thank you for partnering with us! We are on tip toes to see what God does.

What's Hot With Jazz Guitar: Barney Kessel
Continuing with our guitar legends series, I would like to present a column on Barney Kessel. Along with guitar giants like Tal Farlow, he was a great an innovator when it came to playing be-bop, and his soloing skills were truly awesome.
I regret that I never managed to catch Barney playing live, but he has a wealth of audio recordings and video taped performances still available. Disabled by a stroke 10 years ago, he has had to quite performing, however his legacy lives on. Following is a brief bio from the Oklahoma Jazz Artists website, and some other interesting links.
Barney Kessel -- Born: Muskogee, Oklahoma October 17, 1923
"Above all, the humanness of a performer should be apparent...the essence of a living being is greater than the music. The music is only an expression of that essence."
Articulate and passionate are two words that have been used to describe the playing of Barney Kessel. Praised by Wes Montgomery as a player who is "not just standing still at one level," Kessel was a pioneer of be-bop guitar, and continued to stand at the forefront of jazz guitar playing for five decades. Born and raised in Muskogee, Oklahoma, Kessel discovered jazz in his teens, and began playing guitar, an unusual instrument for a jazz musician in the 1930's, with an all-black band when he was 14 years old. But it was a chance encounter with guitar legend Charlie Christian in an Oklahoma City night club that gave Kessel the inspiration to move into the center stage. With Christian's encouragement, which included an offer to tell Benny Goodman about the promising young guitarist, Kessel developed into a first class jazz player, moving to California in 1942 and enjoying steady employment with Artie Shaw, Charlie Barnet, and finally, the Benny Goodman Orchestra. In 1946, Charlie Parker asked Kessel to join his group, and recorded the classic "Relaxin' at Camarillo," with Kessel in early 1947.
Kessel's reputation continued to grow, and he was in the studio frequently, backing singers like Billie Holiday and Frank Sinatra. In 1952, Kessel became a member of the first Oscar Peterson Trio. The trio, with Barney Kessel, recorded "Tenderly," their first hit for Mercury Records and a song now identified with Oscar Peterson. The following year, Kessel began recording as a leader for Contemporary Records. He remained at the top of the jazz polls, winning Downbeat Guitarist of the Year repeatedly until he was unseated by Wes Montgomery a decade later.
After living in Europe for several years, Kessel continued in the tradition of southwestern influenced guitar in the 1970's by teaming up with fellow guitarists Herb Ellis from Texas, also a long-time alumnus of the Oscar Peterson trio, and Charlie Byrd, forming the group "Great Guitars."

Q: how to add a custom key to Keyboard in ios? I want to add a custom key to my Keyboard. (a .com key) When user begins to type in email text field this keybord with the key should be appeared. I used keyboard type email. But it not gives that key. How I can add this key to my keyboard.
Thanks

A: Here is the tutorial that helps you add custom buttons into ios keyboard!
adding-custom-buttons-to-ios-keyboard

A: The .com key is added when the URL type keyboard is used: KeyboardManagement
You might as well make use of the inputAccessoryView of the text field, add a UIToolbar to it, and in the toolbar you can add a few buttons you want, including custom .com button.

A: There is no way you could change default keyboard. and If you anyhow modify it(using private methods) apple will reject your app because it is against apple guidelines.
So the only solution to your problem is create a custom keyboard and then use it.
There are few custom keyboards you can use them also :

*

*custom-ios-keyboards

*ioscustomkb

*how-to-create-a-simple-keyboard-with-custom-navigation-buttons
Hope it helps you.

A: Have a look at this: custom keyboard
Integrate one of them into your project and customise it accordingly. Hope it helps to start...

A: You can't change default keyboard of Apple.
But you can select with keyboard type for UITextField or UITextView by set some properties in UITextInputTraits protocol. With email, set to:
[textView setKeyboardType:UIKeyboardTypeEmailAddress];

You can use inputAccessoryView to add some custom keys, refer:
dmforminputaccessoryview
Last option is create new Keyboard (UIView subclass) and set it to inputView of UITextView or UITextFied:
Custom-iOS-Keyboards

"Based on the business novel The goal: a process of ongoing improvement, by Eliyahu M. Goldratt and Jeff Cox."
Alex Rogo is a harried plant manager who has been given 90 days to save his failing factory. If he doesn't improve the plant's performance, corporate headquarters will close it down and hundreds of workers will lose their jobs. It takes a chance meeting with Jonah, a former professor, to help him break out of his conventional thinking and figure out what needs to be done. As Alex identifies the plant's problems and works with his team to find solutions, the reader gains an understanding of the fundamental concepts behind the Theory of Constraints. Visual and fun to read, The Goal: A Business Graphic Novel offers an accessible introduction to the Theory of Constraints concepts presented in The Goal, the business novel on which it was based. The Goal is widely considered to be one of the most influential business books of all time. A bestseller since it was first published in 1984, the business novel has sold over 7 million copies, been translated into 32 languages and is taught in colleges, universities, and business schools around the world. Named to Time magazine's list of the 25 Most Influential Business Management Books, it is frequently cited by executives as a favorite or must-read title.
The position and role of the business school and its educational programmes have become increasingly prominent, yet also questioned and contested. What management education entails, and how it is enacted, has become a matter of profound concern in the field of higher education and, more generally, for the development of the organized world. Drawing upon the humanities and social sciences, The Routledge Companion to Reinventing Management Education imagines a different and better education offered to students of management, entrepreneurship and organization studies. It is an intervention into the debates on what is taught and how learning takes place, demonstrating both the potential and the limits of what the humanities and social sciences can do for management education. Divided into six sections, the book traces the history and theory of management education, reimagining central educational principles and outlining an emerging practice-based approach. With an international cast of authors, The Routledge Companion to Reinventing Management Education has been written for contemporary and future educators and for students and scholars who seek to make a difference through their practice.
Sequential art combines the visual and the narrative in a way that readers have to interpret the images with the writing. Comics make a good fit with education because students are using a format that provides active engagement. This collection of essays is a wide-ranging look at current practices using comics and graphic novels in educational settings, from elementary schools through college. The contributors cover history, gender, the use of specific graphic novels, practical application and educational theory. Instructors considering this book for use in a course may request an examination copy here.
To say that graphic novels, comics, and other forms of sequential art have become a major part of popular culture and academia would be a vast understatement. Now an established component of library and archive collections across the globe, graphic novels are proving to be one of the last kinds of print publications actually gaining in popularity. Full of practical advice and innovative ideas for librarians, educators, and archivists, this book provides a wide-reaching look at how graphic novels and comics can be used to their full advantage in educational settings. Topics include the historically tenuous relationship between comics and librarians; the aesthetic value of sequential art; the use of graphic novels in library outreach services; collection evaluations for both American and Canadian libraries; cataloging tips and tricks; and the swiftly growing realm of webcomics.
As business schools expand their entrepreneurship programs and organizations seek people with entrepreneurial skills, it has become clear that the skills and mindset of an entrepreneur are highly valued in all business contexts. This latest edition of Entrepreneurial New Venture Skills continues to focus on helping students develop entrepreneurial skills, whether they seek to become entrepreneurs or employees. Focusing on the entrepreneurial start-up process, the third edition of Entrepreneurial New Venture Skills takes the reader through the steps of selecting, planning, financing, and controlling the new venture. The authors cover multiple forms of new ventures, as well as ways to utilize entrepreneurial skills in other contexts, encouraging students to engage with the material and apply it to their lives in ways that make sense for them. Skill development features include: Entrepreneurial profiles of small business owners Personal applications for students to apply questions to their new venture or a current business Global and domestic cases Elevator pitch assignments, which put students in the venture capitalist position Application exercises and situations covering specific text concepts Business plan prompts to help students construct a business plan over the course of a semester Featuring pedagogical tools like review questions and learning outcomes, and a full companion website that expands upon skill development and offers instructor resources, the third edition of Entrepreneurial New Venture Skills is the perfect resource for instructors and students of entrepreneurship.

Fundamental solutions in understanding information have been elusive for a long time. The field of Artificial Intelligence has proposed the Turing Test as a way to test for the "smart" behaviors of computer programs that exhibit human-like qualities. Equivalent to the Turing Test for the field of Human Information Interaction (HII), getting information to the people that need them and helping them to understand the information is the new challenge of the Web era. In a short amount of time, the infrastructure of the Web became ubiquitious not just in terms of protocols and transcontinental cables but also in terms of everyday devices capable of recalling network-stored data, sometimes wire lessly. Therefore, as these infrastructures become reality, our attention on HII issues needs to shift from information access to information sensemaking, a relatively new term coined to describe the process of digesting information and understanding its structure and intricacies so as to make decisions and take action.
This book contains the best papers of the Second International Conference on So- ware and Data Technologies (ICSOFT 2007), held in Barcelona, Spain. It was org- ized by the Institute for Systems and Technologies of Information, Communication and Control (INSTICC), co-sponsored by the Workflow Management Coalition (WfMC), in cooperation with the Interdisciplinary Institute for Collaboration and Research on Enterprise Systems and Technology (IICREST). The purpose of ICSOFT 2007 was to bring together researchers and practitioners int- ested in information technology and software development. The conference tracks were "Software Engineering," "Information Systems and Data Management," "Programming Languages," "Distributed and Parallel Systems" and "Knowledge Engineering." Being crucial for the development of information systems, software and data te- nologies encompass a large number of research topics and applications: from imp- mentation-related issues to more abstract theoretical aspects of software engineering; from databases and data warehouses to management information systems and kno- edge-base systems; next to that, distributed systems, pervasive computing, data quality and other related topics are included in the scope of this conference.

Whisper It Quietly, There's A Takeover In The Pipeline
Date: 30th September 2018 at 9:38am
Written by: Gary Tom
With Newcastle United having made an awful start to the new season, accumulating just 2 points out of the first 21 available, these are worrying times for the support.
However, could there be light at the end of the tunnel?
According to the respected news source, the Guardian, a consortium is being formed that could, thankfully, end the 11-year tenure of Mike Ashley as the owner of our football club.
Our referenced source reports that the former Manchester United and Chelsea chief executive, Peter Kenyon, is behind plans to end Ashley's reign.
However, before we all rush outside and do a jig of delight at the news, we should point out that the deal is still very much in its infancy.
Perhaps the biggest problem to be overcome relates to the fact that Ashley wants, in the region of, £400 million for the club, a huge fee when you consider that the squad will also need an element of expenditure to bring it back up to the strength required to be anything other than relegation candidates.
But, here at Vital Newcastle, we're hoping that light at the end of the tunnel becomes a shining beacon and, very soon, we'll be embarking on a bright new future.
It's not too much to ask for, is it?
One Reply to "Whisper It Quietly, There's A Takeover In The Pipeline"
BillyTheFish says:
Peter Kenyon???
My god we ARE desperate, think I prefer Ashley.
The only hope is it flushes out some real buyers with very very deep pockets.

Bishop Palmer, pope's Pentecostal friend, dies in motorcycle accident
By Cindy Wooden
VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- The Pentecostal bishop who used his iPhone to film a video of Pope Francis addressing other Pentecostals died July 20 after a motorcycle accident.
Bishop Tony Palmer, whom Pope Francis referred to as his friend, was riding the motorcycle when he crashed head-on with a car traveling in the wrong lane, according to Ian Findlay, principal of Embassy Bible College in Bath, England.
Bishop Palmer, a member of the independent Communion of Evangelical Episcopal Churches, "was airlifted to (the) hospital and was in (the operating) theater for 10 hours, but the doctors could not save him," Findlay told Catholic News Service in a telephone interview July 21.
The bishop served as the dean of the Bible college and was "a very dear friend," Findlay said. "I'm praying the fruits of his ministry," particularly his promotion of ecumenical cooperation, will continue.
Findlay said the bishop was in his early 50s and leaves behind a wife and two teenage children. As of July 21, funeral arrangements were pending.
Bishop Palmer, who was born in the United Kingdom and grew up in South Africa, was co-founder of The Ark Community, which describes itself as "an internet-based, interdenominational" Christian community. Previously he served as the director of the South Africa office of Kenneth Copeland Ministries, a U.S.-based Pentecostal group offering mega-prayer meetings around the world.
Pope Francis' iPhone video message, filmed by Bishop Palmer in January, was addressed to participants in a conference sponsored by Kenneth Copeland Ministries.
Addressing Bishop Palmer as "my brother, a bishop-brother" and saying they had "been friends for years," the pope spoke of his longing for Christian unity and his confidence that God would bring about the miracle of Christian unity.
"Let us allow our longing to increase so that it propels us to find each other, embrace each other and to praise Jesus Christ as the only Lord of history," the pope said.
Soon after Pope Francis' election, Bishop Palmer was interviewed for the website of Kenneth Copeland Ministries. He said he had met the future Pope Francis in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 2008 when he sought the then-archbishop's permission to work with charismatic Catholics in the city.
Bishop Palmer met the pope again in late June, along with a group of other Pentecostal and evangelical pastors. At that meeting, Pope Francis announced his intention to visit the church of another Pentecostal pastor he'd meet in Buenos Aires, Giovanni Traettino. The pope is scheduled to make a private visit July 28 to Traettino's church in Caserta, 130 miles south of Rome.

Q: How to add customer table to design surface I try to do a MVC ASP.net exercise. I have created a MVC 4 application using visual studio.
Then I copied the nothwnd.mdf file to app_data folder. then I tried to continue next steps in the exercise.

3.Right-click the Models folder in Solution Explorer and select Add | New Item. Add a
      LINQ to SQL Classes file. Name this file Northwind.dbml.
      4. Open Northwind.dbml and add the Customer table to the design surface from Server
      Explorer. Save and close the file. You now have a basic model with which to work.

However, when I try to add customer table to design surface, I couldn't as it is not listed down and tables in nothwnd.mdf. This is my first time with MVC and data connections.
What I have done here wrong? Can anybody give a hint to fix this?
Another question is Can I rename to Nothwind.dbml to anyname?

A: Adding nothwnd.mdf to App_Data:
If you added the nothwnd.mdf to App_Data by using Windows Explorer, you have to make sure it's included in your project.
It's better to add files directly in the Solution Explorer (in Visual Studio):

Adding Northwind.dbml:
1) First of all make sure you can access your database through Server Explorer. You need to connect to your DataBase.

2) Select Microsoft SQL Server Database File as your Data source:

3) Browse to your mdf file in App_Data - and click OK button:

After this step you're able to access the database and table(s).
4) Now the exercise tells you to right-click on the Models folder and add a New Item:

5) Select Data --> LINQ To SQL Classes:

Of course Northwind.dbml is empty the first time, because you just created it (New Item). You need to add the table (Customer table) you want to use.
The answer to your last question is of course you can rename Northwind.dbml

eL Seed, född 1981, är en fransk-tunisisk konstnär. Han är främst känd för sin blandning av arabisk kalligrafi och graffiti, som han kallar kaligraffiti.

eL Seed växte upp i en tunisisk familj i Paris. Namnet eL Seed började som en tag när han som sextonåring läste Pierre Corneilles El Cid. 2004 upptäckte han den arabiska kalligrafin, som kom att få stort inlyftande på honom. 2006 flyttade han till New York, och 2008 till Montréal, där han nu bor.

Han säger sig ha influerats av konstnärerna Hassan Massoudy och Nja Mahdaoui.

Under senare år har eL Seed blivit känd världen över, och han har fått många uppdrag. I september 2012 fick han uppdraget att på ena sidan av minareten i stora moskén i Gabès måla ett korancitat. I april 2013 utförde han 52 fresker vid avenyn Salwa Road i Doha. 2015-2016 har han (utan offentligt uppdrag) lett arbetet med en gigantisk målning på husfasader i ett fattigt koptiskt område av Kairo.

Video: Composer Alan Menken Performs Musical Medley Featuring Songs From "Aladdin," Many Others
by Mike Celestino | May 21, 2019 3:48 PM Pacific Time
Tags: Aladdin, Alan Menken
Legendary film composer and songwriter Alan Menken's career with the Walt Disney Company began thirty years ago when he scored and co-wrote the beloved songs for The Little Mermaid. Since then, he has won eight Academy Awards, seven Golden Globes, eleven Grammys, and one Tony for his work in Hollywood, mostly under Disney.
Along with Beauty and the Beast, Pocahontas, and The Hunchback of Notre Dame, one of Menken's most popular and enduring contributions to the Disney music were the original songs for 1992's Aladdin, all of which have been reprised in the studio's new live-action reimagining of the classic tale. At a press conference this past weekend in Southern California, Alan Meknen performed an enchanting ten-minute medley of those tried-and-true Aladdin hits, plus the new Jasmine tune "Speechless" and selections from his other Disney work.
Watch Alan Menken performs musical medley at Disney's Aladdin press conference:
The song list for the above Alan Menken medley performance is as follows:
"Arabian Nights" from Aladdin (1992)
"Friend Like Me" from Aladdin (1992)
"Under the Sea" from The Little Mermaid (1989)
"Be Our Guest" from Beauty and the Beast (1991)
"One Jump Ahead" from Aladdin (1992)
"Colors of the Wind" from Pocahontas (1995)
"Prince Ali" from Aladdin (1992)
"Go the Distance" from Hercules (1997)
"Speechless" from Aladdin (2019)
"I See the Light" from Tangled (2010)
"That's How You Know" from Enchanted (2007)
"Beauty and the Beast" from Beauty and the Beast (1991)
"Part of Your World" from The Little Mermaid (1989)
"Out There" from The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996)
"A Whole New World" from Aladdin (1992)
During the press junket, media in attendance also got a close-up look at some of the costumes from the new Aladdin, including elaborate and stunning outfits worn by Will Smith as Genie, Mena Massoud as Aladdin, Naomi Scott as Jasmine, Marwan Kenzari as Jafar, Nasim Pedrad as Dalia, and Navid Negahban as the Sultan.

Refinancing is the process of replacing an existing mortgage with a new one. The new loan pays off the current debt, so that debt is not eliminated when you refinance. However, the new loan should have better terms of features that improve our financial situation. Like lowering your monthly payments, reducing the interest rate and consolidating your debt.

Grade-schooler returns to classroom following...
Grade-schooler returns to classroom following brain injury
Aiden Crouse shares a light moment with retired NASA astronaut and Nebraskan Clayton Anderson during a Skype video chat. Jody Macke, R.N., connected the two space lovers as part of Aiden's recovery from a traumatic brain injury. Aiden was a patient at the Alexis Verzal Children's Rehabilitation Unit at Madonna's Lincoln Campus.
The Recovery
Seven-year-old Aiden Crouse of Lincoln, Nebraska, had a good excuse for missing school last winter. He was hit by a truck in the crosswalk near Saratoga Elementary on Dec. 8. Aiden suffered a traumatic brain injury that caused his brain to swell. He spent weeks in critical condition in the hospital.
Aiden is the oldest of three children, and loves school, especially science and math. "He's smart, funny, just an amazing child," said his mother, Hannah. When Aiden needed the next step in his recovery, Hannah and her husband Floyd, chose the Alexis Verzal Children's Rehabilitation Unit at Madonna's Lincoln Campus.
Days before Christmas, Aiden admitted to the specialized pediatric unit weak and unresponsive. "He literally couldn't do anything," said Scott Fandrich, physical therapist. Gradually Aiden learned to sit up, maneuver a wheelchair and throw a ball. Teachers in the Kit's Academy Therapeutic Learning Center (TLC) kept Aiden on track with his schoolwork.
A big morale booster for Aiden was meeting retired NASA astronaut Clayton Anderson. Jody Macke, RN, tapped into Aiden's love of space to connect Aiden with Clayton through a Skype video chat. Aiden came well-prepared with questions for the astronaut that he had researched during his therapy in TLC.
Visits from University of Nebraska-Lincoln baseball players, who participated in his physical therapy sessions by shooting hoops and playing catch, also lifted Aiden's spirits. The athletes invited Aiden to Memorial Stadium where he got out of his wheelchair and walked across the football field. It was impressive progress for the young boy.
Throughout his inpatient stay and then months of outpatient therapy, Aiden made incredible progress. His classmates cheered when he returned to the classroom last spring. Today, he's still that inquisitive, smart, witty boy who couldn't wait to start third grade.
We applaud Aiden's upbeat attitude throughout his rehabilitation journey and award him an A+ on his recovery report card!
Aiden works on his reading comprehension in the TLC, Madonna's on-site school, with Nova Adams, therapeutic educational coordinator.
Therapeutic Learning Center
The Kit's Academy Therapeutic Learning Center (TLC) at the Lincoln Campus and a similar one at the Omaha Campus, is an on-site, classroom-based program allowing school-aged patients to continue academic pursuits with an educational specialist during their recovery. Children, adolescents and young adults in college are exposed to real-life challenges within the classroom and work with their therapy team to overcome any limitations.
Madonna's educational specialists also serve as liaisons to the schools, helping teachers and staff understand what accommodations a student needs to be successful in returning to the academic setting. TLC services are offered at no cost to patients and are solely dependent on the support of generous donors.

Q: Reading in exactly N bytes from standard input in C I have to read exactly 4 bytes from standard input and then to treat it like a little endian and to display it on standard output but I don't know if what I read is exactly 4 bytes. I tried this:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdint.h>
#include <inttypes.h>
#include <byteswap.h>

int main() {
   uint32_t f;

   printf("Enter a value :");
   scanf ("%" SCNu32, &f);
   printf("Value of integer:%d", f);
   //printf("Value of integer:%d", __bswap_32(f));

   return 0;
}

I'm not sure if this reads exactly on 4 bytes. I tried with the following integers:
input->output
123->123
12345678->12345678
123456789->123456789
4294967295->-1
4294967294->-2
4294967296->-1
1->1

I thought that by printing f it will like like this: 1234000 (value of f=1234) or 12345678 (value of f=123456789).

A: To read exactly 4 bytes from stdin, you can use fread(), getc() or scanf():

*

*fread(&f, sizeof f, 1, stdin);

*char *p = (char *)&f; for (size_t i = 0; i < sizeof(f); i++) p[i] = getchar();

*char *p = (char *)&f; for (size_t i = 0; i < sizeof(f); i++) p[i] = getc(stdin);

*char *p = (char *)&f; scanf("%c%c%c%c", p, p+1, p+2, p+3);
Note however that stdin is open in text mode by default on legacy systems that perform line ending translation, and there is no portable way to change this mode on an open stream.

Brands Take A Stand For Direct Distribution

Industry partnership changes the rules of the game in the competition for online bookings.
Dan Marcec
The exponential growth of online shopping and bookings has led to an industry-wide dash for virtual market share, with the recent economic downturn and subsequent rate erosion across the hotel landscape leading to often less-than-friendly competition in the online marketplace. But despite hotels and their brands' notorious challenges with OTAs, the fact is that having your hotels on the shelf in as many places as possible is good for overall awareness and drives reservations.
However, just having your hotel's website in various channels doesn't mean it's priced right or that your distribution strategy is optimized. Even if your rate is right (though in many cases I assure you it's not), OTA commissions cause considerable financial strain if you give away too much business to those third parties.
It's with that in mind that six major hotel global companies came together with a management team of industry experts to develop Roomkey.com, which provides travelers a search and booking experience tailored with hotel information straight from the source.
Founded by Choice Hotels International, Hilton Worldwide, Hyatt Hotels Corporation, InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG), Marriott International and Wyndham Hotel Group, the site is designed to provide the same open marketplace that consumers see on an aggregator, but with the added advantage of driving each inquiry directly to the hotel's front desk, rather than sending the transaction to yet another third party. Best Western International was announced as the inaugural commercial partner of the venture just one day after the site's January 11, 2012, launch.
"The driving force for Room Key was the need to solve two different problems, first and foremost for the consumer to provide an easy, elegant way to book directly with the hotels," says John F. Davis III, chief executive officer of Room Key. "The second reason to create the site was to provide a better link between online booking and the hotel itself."
Both of these solutions address issues encountered through OTA bookings. First, Davis says he believes there's a growing tendency for third-party intermediaries to function more as advertising platforms rather than booking engines as they've become more popular and widely used. Because third-party sites are used more often to shop than to book, the sites focus on profitability through slinging ads.
"Some sites are so busy sites guests can't even find a way to book a room, and the industry by and large was not pleased with what was out there for their consumers," says Davis.
On the other hand, brand.com sites serve a sole function: to take reservations and welcome guests to hotel accommodations. And that's where the second motivating factor comes into play. When dealing with a third-party, there's an obvious potential for miscommunication between the customer and the front desk. If there's a question about or a change to the reservation, getting the third party involved can needlessly complicate the process.
And these two issues come before even addressing the question of cost. Even though some OTAs claim to have the lowest prices on the Web, most hotels actually offer the best rates on their own sites. IHG even went so far as announcing its Best Price Guarantee last year, which lets guests know that they literally cannot find a better price online, or they get the first night free. Then, of course, for hotels themselves, a better solution to book direct improves their cost of sale and bottom line, which underscores the impetus for the hotel companies to get together for a common purpose.
"We have good relationships with other channels, but it was important to create something user-friendly and low cost for both consumers and franchisees," says Steve Joyce, president & CEO of Choice Hotels International. "As leaders of the industry we are expected to take a more aggressive stance on distribution to help our franchisees, so we worked together to help consumers who are looking to compare pricing and offerings and products, but in a way that doesn't redirect to an entity that takes more than their fair share of those transactions."
Steve Sickel, senior vice president, distribution and relationship marketing for IHG, agrees. "Room Key came together because we have a common need in the market; we know it's nothing unique to IHG, Choice or Marriott," he says. "Travelers like to shop, and while each of our IHG brand websites has the best price guarantee and the information to find a great hotel, guests only see the choice of our brands. We know that customers like multiple choices, but they want to be able to book direct as well, so we all saw the common need that led to a common solution."
The site works pretty straightforwardly. The brands provide their own information in any way they desire, and Davis says that even though there is still a commission to direct the booking, that commission is significantly less than the normal price point for your standard OTA. Room Key initially will focus on serving U.S. travelers, followed shortly after launch by the expansion of the site to English-speaking regions outside the U.S., and also will evolve presently to offer social media functions such as independent reviews, as well as the ability to compare, plan and share with friends and family.
"The brand experience doesn't start when guests walk in the hotel, but at the first point of contact," says Sickel. "Direct booking allows us to interact with them earlier on in the purchase life cycle."
The search for a better way to drive direct bookings isn't a new process. Hotels have had a very public love-hate relationship with OTAs in the past couple years as the recession played out, and feedback from the field has been mixed on whether OTAs should be a stronger part of distribution, or if they should be abandoned completely. With a unified front on this initiative, these companies are making clear stand on how they are working to manage distribution. It's not about an all-or-nothing solution or about crushing the OTAs, it's about finding a better way to let hotels do what they do best – serve guests.
"The exciting part of Room Key is that it's an industry initiative," says Davis. "I've participated in the past in these kinds of efforts, and they have a history of changing the landscape for the better."
Brands and hotels are still going to use OTAs, because they're not going away. In fact, don't be surprised if they only becoming stronger in an online marketplace that is becoming more customized and shopper-friendly. But rather than battling the OTAs again on their home turf, Room Key went above and beyond to change the rules of the game.

China virus prompts delay of retrial in broken thumb case
PHILADELPHIA — The retrial of a Delaware man who acknowledged having broken a thumb off a $4.5 million statue at a Philadelphia museum has been indefinitely postponed because of the coronavirus outbreak in the home country of the relic.
The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that federal prosecutors said in a court filing last week that several Chinese witnesses essential to their case against 26-year-old Michael Rohana would be unable to travel to Philadelphia for the Feb. 18 retrial.
Their arrival has been barred under the travel ban instituted on foreign nationals who have visited China in the last two weeks.
Rohana was attending a Christmas-themed ugly sweater party at the Franklin Institute in 2017 when authorities say he entered a closed exhibit of ancient Chinese terra cotta warrior statues, snapped the thumb of a statute called "The Cavalryman" and left with it.
The vandalism, captured on surveillance cameras, outraged Chinese officials. Rohana told jurors it was a stupid, drunken mistake.
A jury deadlocked in April in his trial on charges of theft and concealment of an object of cultural heritage. Rohana's lawyers argued he wasn't charged under the right law.
Federal public defender Catherine Henry said in closing arguments that the charges "were made for art thieves — think like 'Ocean's Eleven' or 'Mission: Impossible.'" Rohana, she said, "wasn't in ninja clothing sneaking around the museum. He was a drunk kid in a bright green ugly Christmas sweater."

The Librarian's Brother, Part I
Michelle Tom2022-01-04T10:10:21-05:00January 4th, 2022|
Upon the 1921 founding of Windsor Historical Society, the very first (and very large) donation to our collections came from George E. Hoadley, on behalf of himself and his brother Charles. When George died the next year, his will included a $5,000 bequest to the Society. But neither brother ever lived in Windsor, and they really only had tangential relationship to the town. This article attempts to tell the story of two donors whose contributions became the foundation of WHS's collections.

EPS: Congratulations, Prof. Glass, on the NEH grant for the Boas project. Can you tell us about what the project will involve?
AG: In 1897, anthropologist Franz Boas published his major monograph, The Social Organization and the Secret Societies of the Kwakiutl Indians, a synthesis of his first decade of research on the Northwest Coast and one of the first holistic ethnographies based on field work. The text brought together data on social structure with art and material culture, detailed narratives in the Kwak'wala language, photographs taken in situ in British Columbia and at the 1893 Chicago World's Fair, transcribed songs, eye-witness description of ceremonial performances, and extensive contributions from Boas's indigenous collaborator George Hunt. Yet the report remained incomplete and fractured, and archival materials relevant to its origins and afterlives are scattered all over the world. This material includes original field notes by Boas and Hunt, museum collections records, original photographic negatives, and wax cylinder recordings of music. The goal of this collaborative project is to produce an annotated, critical digital edition that will reunite the archival material with the original text and with the indigenous families whose cultural heritage is represented. This will be an unprecedented effort within anthropology and the humanities, promising new ways of using digital media to link together disparate archives, museums, textual repositories, and contemporary Native communities in order to produce a critical historiography of the book as well as to recuperate long dormant ethnographic records.
EPS: As a cultural anthropologist, you bring a particular perspective to our notion of material culture studies. How do you see this in the larger framework of the mission of the BGC?
AG: As I understand our institutional history, we have embraced ever more encompassing categories to describe the subset of objects in the world that fall under our scholarly purview. "Material culture" is potentially the broadest, although different disciplines have construed this term in unique ways. Within anthropology, the term was used in the late 19th century to refer mostly to technology, clothing and architecture—the vernacular "stuff" of everyday life—as opposed to "decorative arts" or, a bit later, just "art." This was a time when the academic discipline was thoroughly integrated with museums. By the early decades of the 20th century, professional anthropology became more entrenched in the university and material culture studies declined to some degree (although anthropological archaeology continued to consider it primary subject matter). In recent decades, however, material culture studies within anthropology has made a dramatic comeback, in part I think as a response and corrective to the dominant "linguistic turn" in the human sciences during the mid 20th century. But the newer material culture studies are much more eclectic and inclusive in terms of the "material" in question; while some scholars do still focus on quotidian objects (especially commodities), the category has also expanded to encompass fine art itself as one type of material cultural production among many. Unlike much material culture studies emerging out of art history, history, or archaeology, anthropologists tend to work with living populations and to analyze the material world not as a window into past cultures but as a component of present ones. As an anthropologist at the BGC, I see my main contribution to the institutional mission as grounded in three related realms: I teach anthropological history and theory of the object and the museum; I help students use ethnographic methods to work with living communities of object producers or consumers; and I teach courses on non-Western material culture, especially that of Native North Americans.
been a help in getting people to think across disciplines?
AG: One of the great things about teaching at the BGC is that students challenge me to situate anthropological perspectives—the kinds of things I might otherwise take for granted—within the whole constellation of disciplinary approaches we embrace. When I use terms such as "agency" or "structure" or "primitivism," students call up their exposure to such terms in different courses and inquire into the conceptual relation between them. While this can have the effect of retrenching disciplinary boundaries, more often than not it serves to bridge them, to communicate to the students (and to the faculty!) that we are all circling around a common set of scholarly problems using different tools, whether these tools are theoretical, methodological, or terminological. While this can happen in other institutional spaces, it tends to happen most often in the classroom and is largely driven by student attempts to harmonize their experiences across courses and topics and disciplinary frameworks. We also have the flexibility to team-teach courses here, which allows us to build interdisciplinary approaches into the curriculum more strategically. This has greatly benefited me as a scholar and faculty member as it has, I expect, the students as well.
EPS: You are currently team-teaching a course with Prof. Whalen. Can you tell us a little bit about how that evolved?
AG: Individually, Prof. Whalen and I have worked extensively with photographs and the material contexts for their circulation (from family albums to ethnographic exhibits, respectively). Given extensive student interest in photography as related to many of the other kinds of things we teach about here, we decided to pool our resources and offer a course tailored to the unique concerns of the BGC. In our course, entitled "Picturing Things: Photography as Material Culture," we privilege an approach to photographs as objects rather than just as images. In a way, we offer a kind of alternative history of photography through the lens of material culture studies—both in terms of using photographs as material evidence for analyzing past social practice, and in terms of understanding photography as a mode of cultural production in the present. To the more standard themes and landmarks in photography's history we bring our personal and disciplinary perspectives—Prof. Whalen's as a specialist in American Studies and in vernacular craft traditions, and mine as an Anthropologist with a focus on non-Western subjects in and producers of photographs.


"Today the US Patent & Trademark Office published yet another continuation patent from Apple that reveals further tweaking being made to their patent claims that could protect this invention in court," Jack Purcher reports for Patently Apple.
MacDailyNews Take: Apple interest in AR over VR is glaringly apparent.
Two highlighted items in the source article sound very close to some things Google has already done in placing a button on the device to control the inserted smartphone (e.g. Google Cardboard) and the touch area on the support structure (e.g. Google Glass). Though for the latter they seem to specify a wheel control so if they stay within that it seems to be covered.
The design described in the patent seems interesting but I wonder how well they'll be able to spread the weight that seems to be placed primarily on the bridge of the nose when used with the inserted smartphone. This is in contrast to current offerings by Google, Sony, Occulus, etc. that seem to distribute the weight to the entire area under the eyes including the nose. Perhaps indication that iPhones will get lighter still?
