Earl Wall, 91, of Albany, Georgia died March 2, 2016 in Georgia. Earl was born August 18, 1924 in Grand Rapids, Michigan the son of Nathan and Rachel (Simmons) Wall. He joined the U. S. Marine Corps in 1942 and retired in 1963. He moved to Albany, Georgia in 1984 and was employed with the Marine Corps Logistics Base for 14 years. He was preceded in death by his wife, Jimmie Mae; three brothers, Lyle, Jack and Kenneth Wall; two sisters, Lillian Ryder and Dorothy Shaw. Surviving are a son, Patrick (Peggy) Wall; sister, Betty Jean Kilts (Vance Miller); granddaughters, Jennifer Wall, Tricia Wall and husband, Garth Grahame; many nieces and nephews and his extended family in Georgia. A memorial service will be held Saturday, August 20 at 11:00 a.m. at the United Methodist Church, 140 S. Main, Cedar Springs. Pastor Steve Lindeman officiating. A luncheon will follow in the church hall. Memorial contributions may be made to the United Methodist Church.


Sabbatical derives from Sabbath and refers to the idea that once a week we pause and do other things than work to refresh ourselves in part by remembering a broader picture of what life is about, including our family and community. And Sabbath applies as well to agriculture and how good farmers refresh the soil by planting a cover crop to let the fields renew once every seven years. Sabbaticals are rooted in these excellent ideas. Think of them as the option year.
Yet many districts have restricted sabbaticals in the name of saving money even though administrative pay has increased substantially over the past decade. The procedure for granting them often presumes they are bestowed by high-level administrators and sometimes union leaders as well. Furthermore, many districts limit the number given regardless of the size of their faculties and/or limit what teachers can do with them once granted. Often travel is held in lesser regard than graduate academic work. Others are granted at reduced pay or for half a year only, and I know of no one who has gotten more than one in an entire career. And as to taking a Sabbatical, it comes with the requirement that you must return to your district to "pay it back!" or if you don't return, pay it back in cash. Yet many countries including the Chinese encourage study and work abroad. This is an international world after all.
Now imagine that master teacher Helen specializes in mid-eastern studies, or completes another degree, or pursues ancient instruments, or moves her family slowly to Oregon where an alternative school interests her, or prepares a previously untried course outline for a reading program, or opts to return to her district at a noticeable increase in salary the district must pay to secure her future services, now that she has proven herself highly competent.
After an additional 10 years she qualifies for a longevity bonus. At her second paid leave she can prep for higher ed, or some other personal transition, study or teach abroad, or figure out how best to share her expertise with other persons by dividing her work between her own reduced number of individualized and specialized classes and working with other professionals for she is now an HT (Honored Teacher) in her chosen field.

Trust and openness vital to get benefits from supply chain automation
Supply chain automation is benefiting from new technological developments, such as blockchain, 5G and machine learning – as companies such as Maersk, Opel and Nestlé are proving
This article can also be found in the Premium Editorial Download: Computer Weekly: How the Science Museum is moving to the digital age
Lindsay Clark
If every trading nation reduced common supply chain inefficiencies, they could increase global GDP by 4.7% or US$2.6tn (£2tn), according to research from the World Economic Forum, the World Bank and Bain & Company. Even getting halfway towards best practice would boost trade by 14.5% or US$1.6tn.
Such is the prize in improving efficiency in ports, shipping and global logistics, it is focusing the minds of technology firms that are looking to automate and improve the accuracy of data gathering and business processes.
Tim Lawrence, global head of manufacturing at PA Consulting, says the technological building blocks for automating and improving efficiency in global supply chains are falling into place.
Developments in the internet of things (IoT) offer insight into the movement of goods without the need for humans to log information, while the advent of 5G mobile data will offer bandwidth to more sensors and devices that can share data in real time. Advances in analytics and machine learning are also playing a role, he says.
Some of these technologies are already being applied to real-world problems (see box below), but it is blockchain that is attracting the most attention. Its ability to create an immutable ledger of events appeals to those trying to secure applications that can be trusted to share data between supply chain participants.
A joint venture between IBM and global shipping firm Maersk has culminated in the launch of a blockchain-based shipping system designed to create more efficient and secure trade between countries and across international boundaries. The platform, dubbed TradeLens, is backed by 90 organisations that are already using it or plan to do so.
Marie Wieck, IBM's general manager for blockchain, says early work between Maersk and IBM found that a single international shipment, on average, requires about 200 pieces of communication to get it to its destination. Even if items such as customs documents and bills of lading have been digitised, they are held on multiple systems which are difficult to integrate, she says.
"Data is held in siloed applications," says Wieck. "The majority of shipping time is not spent crossing oceans, but in the ports. There is a huge risk of waste, error and inefficiency when people pull data and information together."
Interact more efficiently
TradeLens uses blockchain to create a single shared view of a transaction without compromising details, privacy or confidentiality, says IBM. Shippers, shipping lines, freight forwarders, port and terminal operators, inland transportation and customs authorities can interact more efficiently through real-time access to shipping data and shipping documents, it says.
The trade document module, released under the ClearWay beta program, enables importers and exporters, customs brokers and trusted third parties such as customs agencies to collaborate in cross-organisational business processes and information exchanges through so-called "smart contracts", backed by a secure, non-repudiable audit trail, says IBM.
Maersk and IBM say one early trial reduced the transit time of a shipment of packaging materials to a production line in the US by 40%. Meanwhile, locating shipping containers was in some cases reduced from 10 steps requiring five people to one step performed by one person.
Container liners Pacific International Lines, Maersk Line and Hamburg Süd have signed up to TradeLens, together with logistics firms Agility, Ceva and Damco, and port operators PSA Singapore, International Container Terminal Services and Patrick Terminals.
IBM is publishing the TradeLens APIs (application programming interfaces) to developers and is working with openshipping.org on open industry standards for the technology. The system is expected to be fully commercially available by the end of 2018.
Not only blockchain: approaches to supply chain automation
Opel gains real-time visibility of supply chain cashflow
Opel Automobile is streamlining the information flow and payment processes within its global supply chain – including suppliers, dealerships and financial institutions – with payment management systems from OpenText. Using the system, Opel can integrate accounts payable and payment systems, streamlining electronic funds transfers to provide real-time visibility into cash, liquidity and financial positions. OpenText also gives Opel's payment team strengthened control and delegation procedures, as well as improved support for global suppliers and dealerships through enhanced B2B integration and digital payment processes, the company says.
CNH gains supply chain visibility with GT Nexus
Industrial equipment manufacturer CNH chose to consolidate supply chain data on the GT Nexus platform, including information from various enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, suppliers and carriers, third-party logistics firms and freight forwarders. Creating the network offered a single source of data visibility to understand upstream supply issues. Richard van der Meulen, director solution consulting, Emea and Apac, at GT Nexus, says the system uses machine learning to predict the arrival times of goods through the supply chain based on years of historic data.
Nestlé invests in digital warehouse
Global food and drinks company Nestlé is working with XPO Logistics to build an automated 638,000ft2 distribution centre in the UK's East Midlands. The custom-designed distribution centre, scheduled for completion in 2020, is set to feature automated sorting systems and robotics alongside automation co-developed with Swisslog Logistics Automation. The firms aim to integrate predictive data and intelligent machines to improve supply chain speed and efficiency.
But IBM is not the only tech firm applying blockchain to the problem of international shipping and logistics.
Accenture is also working with aerospace firm Thales to exploit blockchain to authenticate component provenance through the supply chain. The project is still in development and is yet to go live.
It is also working with beverage firm AB InBev, shipping firm APL, logistics company Kuehne + Nagel and a European customs organisation to test a blockchain system designed to eliminate printed shipping documents. Ongoing results suggest the freight and logistics industry could save hundreds of millions of dollars a year by adopting the system, says Accenture.
The system would replace more than 20 different documents, many of which are often paper-based, to enable goods to move from exporter to importer more easily.
Graham Richter, Accenture blockchain practice lead for the UK and Ireland, says the shared data can be used in smart contracts that can execute many of the tasks currently performed by employees. Manual interventions are necessary only when the system flags exceptions to rules, he says.
"We have built around 50 proof-of-concept applications based on blockchain technology," says Richter. "We've proved it works, but in simulations based on sample data."
The reason why supply chain participants are yet to adopt the technology is that it has only recently become mature enough to manage multimillion-dollar supply chains, says Richter. An effective system may require as many as five parties to recognise the value of the technology, agree on blockchain standards and overcome their fear of relying on a new system while live case studies remain scarce, he adds.
Using blockchain applications to run supply chains necessitates companies sharing their data across organisational boundaries – something that, understandably, makes them nervous, says Richter. But that will change in time.
"In the next year, you will see an inflection point where the technology graduates from the lab," he says. "Serious companies are putting serious money into moving the real world onto blockchain. Some will fail, and some will succeed. Other companies will gain confidence from the successes and the uptake will be quick.
"The technology set-up is not very different for each use case. You can adapt solutions quickly because a lot of big companies have very similar systems, based on SAP, Oracle or one of the other top five enterprise software suites. In a short time, standard connectors will be developed for common applications and it will be a case of plug and play."

Supply chain automation can help health providers make it through payment reform, as well as improve care quality and efficiency.
The blockchain supply chain. Will these chains ever meet?
Voice-controlled automation of logistics is now possible.
While blockchain and other technologies promise to improve supply chain efficiency, most use cases address administrative problems, says PA Consulting's head of manufacturing, Tim Lawrence, and the value they add will be limited unless businesses can overcome internal cultural barriers to sharing data more freely.
"The transaction layer of automation can be quite straightforward, but the operational and strategic layer is more difficult," he says. Companies could automate decisions about where in the supply chain is best to hold inventory and at what time, for example, but they would need to overcome organisational barriers, he points out.
"That starts with collaboration within the organisation," says Lawrence. "But you face silos – procurement, supply chain and logistics all talk to each other, but are not joined up. If you then want a supplier to share data and jointly automate decision-making, then that requires a mature discussion. As well as technology investment, you have to discuss how you will share the benefits."
Yet attention directed towards supply chain automation is growing, and in August 2018, research firm McKinsey & Co called for a new approach. "To capture the full potential of no-touch supply chain planning, companies will also need to invest in advanced analytics, machine learning technologies and process redesign, while also adapting their organisational structures," it says.
As these technologies mature, companies that have already laid the foundations for supply chain automation will be ahead of the pack.

Top Lawyers, Top Attorneys, Top Law Firms — Primerus
International Private Investment and the Practice of Law
Written By: José Miguel Olivares, Esq.
Grupo Vial Abogados
Las Condes, Santiago, Chile
Memoirs of the Past
Until the early 1970s, the majority of Latin American legal systems were very restrictive to foreign investment, from and towards private entities.
The average Latin American law student had little or no interest in studying or working abroad, since the chances of achieving an international law practice were few, and the majority of them were tied to public law, governmental banks or entities, or to international diplomatic organizations.
The average private entrepreneur from the northern hemisphere was used to associating our continent with red tape, bureaucratic sluggishness, discretional powers of the authority, restrictive licenses required for foreign trade, discriminatory access to tax rates or foreign exchange rates, etc.
Growth of International Private Investment
Since those days, our countries (and many other nations on other continents as well) have been learning to welcome, foster and protect foreign private investment, and to encourage cost efficient foreign trade. The countries have adapted their economic systems consequentially.
Speaking as a layman in economics, these private equity investments in Latin America have been positive for our countries and hopefully will remain such in the future.
As for Latin American lawyers, this trend has strongly increased the importance of international law practice, and the number of potential clients for Latin American law firms has also experienced substantial growth.
Master of Laws studies in American universities, or equivalent programs in relevant European countries, have become a standard for those Latin American law graduates wishing to develop a fruitful career in private law. Practicing for some time at a foreign law firm has become an important goal.
All the above implies improvement of the legal profession in our countries that is obviously welcome.
The Contribution of the Legal Profession
There is another contribution to this process which would help both the host countries and the incoming foreign investors. The desks and computer screens of any businessperson in the northern hemisphere are constantly flooded with much economic information about our countries. Figures, statistics, graphics and reports on GBP, bond yields, interest rates, inflation rates, stock markets, exchange rates and many other economic facts, abound. Universities, thinks tanks and investment bankers, strive to keep that information updated. Thus, lawyers should focus on the Rule of Law, its present accomplishment and the improvement thereof, as our most relevant contribution to strengthen the benefits and to reduce the imperfect effects of foreign private investment in our countries.
Since their early days in university, lawyers learn that the law aims to provide certainty and safety for human relationships. Relationships between our authorities or governments, our local industrialists, financiers or businesspeopl and our foreign investors should not be excluded from this.
Validity of economic or financial analysis of foreign investments will also depend on the capability of the respective legal system to provide certainty and safety to those entrepreneurial endeavors, especially in the longer term.
This is the distinctive advice that we lawyers should always provide to our clients when assessing the capabilities of our countries to serve as hosts of foreign investments.
This approach goes beyond the detailed descriptions of laws and regulations available in as many "How to do business" booklets and reports. Obviously, we shall never disregard knowledge and efficient management of the tax and customs laws, of the foreign investment statutes, of the foreign exchange rules and of all other legal tools that a foreign investor needs to learn. This knowledge is necessary, but not enough to achieve a relevant professional performance.
The valuable analysis that only we lawyers may primarily provide to our foreign clients, is the accurate and honest assessment of the actual abidance of the law in our local institutions, governments, courts, entrepreneurs, etc. This analysis must be based upon objective parameters leading to professional conclusions. Lawyers' concern over these matters is not only a service for foreign clients, but also an ethical duty towards our national communities.
This contribution to the growth of international private investment is part of the essence of our professional training and furthers the prestige and dignity of the practice of law. I hope these ideas become another distinctive characteristic of Primerus lawyers, who share a commitment to the Six Pillars that mark the collective aims of this institution.
The Case of Chile
Chile has been subject to a thorough review in these regards, by the World Justice Project, while preparing their 2011 Rule of Law Index, released on June 13, 2011.
I encourage you to visit the website of the World Justice Project1 and study this very important document. The methods and criteria of this report are certainly a solid benchmark in regard to recording and informing adherence to the Rule of Law on a worldwide prospective.
There are three new institutions that are specifically meant to reinforce the Rule of Law in Chile, in addition to the traditional courts and governmental control agencies, which are granted full legal recognition and operation in Chile.
The Court of Public Contracts (Tribunal de Contratación Pública).
This was created in 2003 by Law N° 19.8862, as part of a general review and update of the Chilean state. This special court has free rein from all state dependency and is not part of the ordinary Chilean courts of justice. Nevertheless it remains submitted to the disciplinary authority of the Chilean Supreme Court.
Its purpose is to reinforce the guarantees of law abidance and transparency within the contractual activity of the state of Chile.
It has authority to learn and resolve accusations or complaints against illegal or arbitrary acts or omissions incurred by state entities throughout tenders and or related to the rejection or admittance of State contractors in the respective Official Registry.
The Council for Transparency (Consejo para la Transparencia).
This is a nonprofit legal entity, submitted to Public Law, created by Law N° 20.285 in 2008. Its purpose is to promote transparency and grant access to all citizens to state information, in order to foster public trust in the state authorities. One of the main legal tools available to the Council is the General Instructions that it may issue, including requirements of publicity and accessibility that are mandatory for all governmental entities.
The Code of Ethics of the Chilean Bar Association
The new Code of Ethics and the Discipline Rules of the Chilean Bar Association (Colegio de Abogados de Chile A.G.) came into effect on August 1, 2011. They regulate the practice of law in Chile and grant effective means for complaints of the citizens in this regard.
Essentially, these rules establish a Secretary Counsel who keeps initial records of all complaints and supports claimants with the preparation and submission of written complaints. An instructing lawyer who verifies admissibility thereof, conducts the investigation and, eventually, raises the charges against the defendants. At the top of the system there is a Court of Ethics, whose members include the Board of the National Bar Association, plus 10 to 50 independent lawyers, all of whom serve their positions pro bono. This court works and resolves each complaint through committees of up to five members each.
Membership in the National Bar Association of Chile is voluntary. Precisely for this reason, membership therein and submission to the authority of the new Court of Ethics are an important guideline to confirm professional trust in Chilean lawyers.
Grupo Vial Abogados is proud that one of its partners has been elected as a member of the Court of Ethics of the National Bar Association of Chile.

Grammy-winning songwriter and Detroit native Allee Willis, a big-time character if there ever was one, who wrote such songs as "September," for Earth Wind and Fire, and the theme song for the TV show "Friends," will debut her song "The D" Thursday night during a free Detroit Institute of Arts party from 7-11 p.m.
The song is performed by 5,000 Detroiters, the most people in history on a record, according to Willis.
The song and accompanying micro-documentary includes 70 sing-alongs citywide, recorded over five years.
An intro on the video says that the song is meant to serve as the "official unofficial theme song to accompany Detroit's rapid reinvention, a testament to the motto Willis lives by: From the ashes come the miracles."
The DIA party features music, art games, food, cash bar and sing-alongs.

One key to getting through any emergency situation is preparation.
With wildfires raging here in California, more and more residents are being faced with having to evacuate.
Beyond that, there are six categories of things to pack if you need to evacuate.
Your family members — human and otherwise — should be your first priority when you evacuate. Make sure you have whatever your pets will need on the road and in a shelter — including food and water, bowls for them to eat and drink from, any medication they take and leashes and toys.
Things such as passports, birth certificates and marriage licenses should all come with you. So should the deed to your house or your rental agreement and any other legal documents. If you're bringing your pet, make sure to pack proof that it's up-to-date on vaccinations. A list of essential phone numbers should be in there too, in case you end up somewhere with a dead cell phone. Make sure you have numbers for doctors, relatives, an out-of-state contact, neighbors, coworkers, your insurance agent, your lawyer, your landlord and your veterinarian if you're bringing your pet.
Pack anything you'll need for your health while away from home. This includes prescription medication as well as eyeglasses, contact lenses and vitamins. Don't forget toiletries such as toothbrushes, toothpaste and contact solution. If you have very young family members, make sure you've packed diapers, wipes and the stroller. A first aid kit should already be in your "go bag," but if it isn't, make sure to pack one with bandages and gauze, medical tape, an antibiotic cream, antacids, anti-diarrhea medication, over-the-counter pain relievers and antihistamines.
This includes photo albums, framed photos and other irreplaceable memorabilia, along with any personal items you wouldn't want to lose. Some items in this category may include jewelry, a favorite sweatshirt, guitars, crystals, video game consoles, a drone, antiques and a wedding dress.
Your computer — laptop or desktop — probably contains a lot of important documents, photos and other files. Computers are vital for staying in contact and accessing critical services if you lose your home or have to be away for an extended period of time. Also, don't forget your external hard drive if you have photos or pertinent data stored there.
Your credit cards, ATM cards, insurance cards and cash, along with your ID.
The best way to know if you're going to be evacuated is to sign up for mobile alerts at NotifyLA.org.
If you're under voluntary evacuation or an evacuation warning, start loading your car so you're ready to go as soon as the order comes. Knock on your neighbors' doors to make sure they're aware of what's going on.
As soon as you get a mandatory evacuation order, leave. The most important thing you can save from a fire is yourself.

Millionaire tax: Illinois voters say 'Yes,' but it's a long shot
by Jeanne Sahadi @CNNMoney November 5, 2014: 3:06 PM ET
This is where 70% of tax dollars go
The citizens of Illinois voted for a millionaire tax on Tuesday, but that doesn't mean it's going to become law.
They approved by a wide margin a proposal that would impose an additional 3% tax on income over $1 million to help fund schools, according to unofficial results counted by The Associated Press.
The nonbinding vote was essentially a measure of public opinion -- a way to send a message to state lawmakers.
Voters also ousted the Democratic incumbent governor, Pat Quinn, a proponent of the measure, and voted for his Republican opponent.
The House speaker, a Democrat, may bring similar legislation up again, his spokesman said, but "it's even less likely to go anywhere with a Republican governor," said David Merriman, a professor of public policy at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
Meanwhile, Illinois' finances are in bad shape.
The state's fiscal woes could worsen in January, when its single 5% individual income tax rate is set to drop to 3.75% and the corporate income tax rate is set to fall as well.
Other states, of course, have considered higher taxes on millionaires in the past decade, and a few have even enacted them.
California in 2012 approved a 3% additional tax on income over $1 million that will be in effect through 2018. Revenue raised is going largely to schools.
In the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, Connecticut, New Jersey and Maryland temporarily imposed a higher rate on high-income households -- both above the $1 million threshold and below.
Related: Voters to decide on raising the minimum wage
In 2010, Bill Gates Sr. backed a ballot measure that would have required Washington state, which has no individual income tax, to tax adjusted gross income over $400,000 for couples ($200,000 for singles) at 5% and income over $1 million at 9%.
Revenue from the Washington measure would have paid for middle class tax relief as well as education and health services. But it was defeated at the polls.
Some New Jersey Democrats, meanwhile, have also tried and failed to raise the tax rate on those making millions in an effort to offer property tax relief and help the state make its pension payments. This year they proposed a 10.75% rate on income over $1 million, which is what the rate was in 2009. The top rate currently is 8.97% on income over $500,000.
At the federal level, Democrats have repeatedly floated different types of millionaire taxes.
One that's gotten the most attention is President Obama's proposed "Buffett Rule" or "Fair Share Tax." That proposal called for those making more than $1 million to pay at least 30% of their income, after charitable contributions, in federal taxes.
The most recent incarnation of that idea came from Senator Elizabeth Warren, who proposed that the 30% minimum be imposed and used to pay for a program to help student loan borrowers buried in debt.

Bay Area earthquake, 25 years later
Cars sit abandoned on the quake-ravaged Cypress Structures on Interstate 880 highway in Oakland, California, after a quake rocketed the San Francisco Bay Area, killing an estimated 63 people and doing $1 billion in damage, Oct. 18, 1989.
Oct. 17, 2014 marked the 25th anniversary since the Loma Prieta Earthquake, measuring 6.9 on the Richter scale, struck. Homes and offices were wrecked, fires broke out and vital service were cut off.
Most of the deaths came when a half-mile part of the double-decker Interstate 880 highway collapsed, crushing vehicles on the lower deck.

Irving Wallboard is a highly automated, 300,000 square foot manufacturing facility that provides a broad range of gypsum wallboard products for use in the construction industry. This Saint John facility is one of the newest and most modern wallboard manufacturing facilities in North America. Acuren provides monthly Condition Based Monitoring services, whereby CBM Specialists will visit the plant to collect, measure and analyze vibration data on 100 of their assets. This monthly monitoring uncovered a bearing fault that would have remained undetected until a costly failure occurred. This discovery enabled Irving Wallboard to plan a shutdown and repair.
Each month Acuren Condition Based Monitoring Specialists collect machinery vibration and structure borne ultrasonic data as part of the regular condition monitoring program at Irving Wallboard. Many of the assets in this facility are positioned in such a way that visual inspection is difficult or impossible. The collection and analysis of dynamic vibration measurements provides the critical data required for maintenance and shut down decisions and planning. The data collected resulted in a recommendation to change the motor on this recirculation fan.
Trained and experienced technicians interpret the data collected, and make recommendations to the site maintenance teams based on findings of criticality and failure risk. The CBM technicians work as a member of the client's team to identify and diagnose potential failure conditions before they result in unplanned outages. This motor was destined to fail if left undiagnosed.
The maintenance crew was able to replace this motor during a planned outage based on the findings from the monthly monitoring program. Had this motor been left undiagnosed and left in operation until failure, Irving Wallboard estimates that cost to the business would have been approximately $100,000.
"With maintenance budgets being squeezed, it's nice to be able to leverage the value of having a partner that offers programs which help us prevent unexpected costs by identifying problems early, before they cause unplanned downtime at significant expense. "

$149 Acer Iconia B1-720 Takes Aim at 7-inch Tablet Market
By Daniel P. HOWLEY - LAPTOP Senior Writer 2014-01-03T08:02:02Z
Acer is rolling out a new version of its Iconia B1 tablet, and it's taking aim at budget-friendly competitors. On sale later this month for $149, the 7-inch B1-720 tablet features a slimmer design than its predecessor and uses Acer's new One Glass Solution technology, which the company says allows for a brighter and thinner display.
Inside, the Iconia B1 packs a 1.3-GHz dual-core MediaTek MT8111 processor, 1GB of RAM and 16GB of onboard storage, which can be augmented via a 32GB microSD card slot. Those specs match up nicely with ASUS' excellent $139 MeMO Pad HD 7, as well as Amazon's $139 Kindle Fire HD 7-inch.
MORE: Top 10 Tablets
That said, the Iconia B1 sports a lower resolution 1024 x 600 display, while the MeMO Pad HD 7 and Kindle Fire HD 7-inch both come with 1280 x 800-pixel screens. Similarly, while the MeMO Pad HD 7 includes both front and rear cameras, the Iconia B1-720 only comes with a front camera.
For the Iconia B1-720, Acer says it has moved the speakers and microphone to the front of the tablet for an improved audio experience versus the rear-mounted speakers and microphone found on the previous generation Iconia B1-710.
The Android 4.2.1-powered Iconia B1 will be available with a grey or red front panel and a white, textured rear panel. Measuring 7.8 x 4.8 x 0.42 inches and weighing 11.0 ounces, the Acer is larger than both the MeMO Pad HD 7, which measures 7.7 x 4.7 x 0.4 inches and the 7.6 x 5.4 x 0.4-inch Kindle Fire HD. The Iconia, however, weighs the same as the MeMO Pad (11 ounces) and less than the Kindle, which weighs 13.9 ounces.
If you're looking for some added protection and more colors for your Iconia B1, you can grab one of Acer's protective cases, which are available in a variety of shades. And if you're going to watch a lot of movies or do a lot of reading, the case doubles as a stand. We'll have a full hands-on with the newest member of Acer's tablet family from CES 2014. Stay tuned.

Figures released by the DWP this week show that claimants on universal credit (UC) are 20 times more likely to be hit by a sanction than claimants on jobseekers allowance (JSA) or employment and support allowance (ESA).
The figures show that 4.1% of claimants on UC had their benefits reduced because of a sanction in February 2018.
By contrast, only 0.2% of claimants on JSA received a sanction and only 0.2% of claimants on ESA. The figures for JSA and ESA apply to September 2017, but sanctions rates for these benefits have fallen even further since then.
The main reason for UC sanctions is failure to attend or participate in a work-focused interview, which accounted for 70% of all UC sanctions.
71% of UC mandatory reconsiderations resulted in no change to the decision.
However, the picture is dramatically reversed at appeal stage. 83% of UC sanction decisions are overturned by appeal tribunals.
Sadly, only 2% of claimants make it all the way to an appeal.
The fact that an overwhelming majority of claimants win appeals against UC sanctions, however, suggests that a very large proportion are being unfairly sanctioned.
You can download the full sanctions report.

Andreas Daum is a meditation and hatha yoga teacher at Hridaya Yoga and currently serves as the Program Manager of the school.
In 2014, he started to teach the Module 1 Intensive at the Hridaya Yoga Center in Mexico. He then led 10-Day Hridaya Silent Meditation Retreats during the summer season. Since then, he has offered yoga classes in the Canary Islands of Spain and taught multiple meditation retreats in the Sacred Valley in Peru and at Lake Titicaca.
Andreas was born in Austria in 1985, but left his home and career to enjoy the flow of life. He travelled the world with his beloved wife and was introduced to the esoteric knowledge of yoga at Agama Yoga Thailand in 2009 and, later, at Agama Yoga Mexico. The spiritual insights he experienced deepened through direct experiences in Vipassana and Kriya Yoga meditation retreats and via studies with medicinal plants in South America.
In 2013, Andreas found his real spiritual home (in his heart) in the Hridaya teachings and the sangha in Mexico. Since then, he has enjoyed helping guide people into inner stillness and to play his part in this wonderful and weird universe.
When not meditating, Andreas constantly improves his knowledge about Astrology, Psychology and Mythology for a more integral understanding of the world and for his own excitement. His motto: "Reveal your own inspirations in life and be happy." He loves to combine his interests with the teachings of Hridaya Yoga, Advaita Vedanta (non-dualism), Kashmir Shaivism, Sufism, and Tibetan Buddhism.
Over the last few years, Andreas has integrated the teachings of Advaita Vedanta into his life, and he loves to share the teachings and the inspirations that come from a natural presence and stillness.

The most substantial overhaul of Pennsylvania's liquor system since Prohibition became law Wednesday, a product of bipartisan cooperation after last year's protracted budget battles.
Changes to how Pennsylvanians purchase and consume alcohol include wine sales at grocery stores, longer state liquor store hours and 24/7 beverage service at casinos. They would also be able to receive direct shipments of wine through the mail.
Wolf emphasized the collaborative effort that took place to see those changes to fruition as a contingent of lawmakers from both parties stood at his side. As he signed the bill, he was flanked on his right by two of the plan's architects — Rep. Paul Costa, D-Allegheny County, and Sen. Charles McIlhinney, R-Bucks County — and on his left by House Speaker Mike Turzai, R-Allegheny County, the bill's sponsor whose blessing allowed it to come to a vote on Tuesday.
Many see the compromise bill, which contains many of Wolf's favored modernization initiatives, as a sign that 2016 won't see a repeat of last year's protracted budget impasse.
"I've been very pleased with the discussions we've had with the governor on many fronts," Turzai said on Tuesday, prior to the bill's passage in a 157-31 vote. His overriding approach to this year's negotiations has been to separate items like liquor reform from the larger budget debate, he said.
In advance of its signing, Turzai repeatedly said that the bill would serve as a first step toward privatization. Indeed, his bill originally called for dismantling the state-run liquor stores before the Senate gutted and returned the bill in its current form. When the bill initially returned to the House, Turzai chose not to bring it to a floor vote.
When asked about House Republicans' privatization goal, Wolf said he was committed to keeping and modernizing the stores.
Gov. Tom Wolf discusses the historic liquor modernization bill Noting this is the biggest change in the way liquor is sold in Pa. in 80 years, Wolf lauded the liquor modernization bill as good for consumers, good for the Liquor Control Board's bottom line and making good on a campaign promise.
A number of key stakeholders have criticized the legislation — which was part of the budget framework Wolf negotiated with Republican leaders last year — for what they see as unfair treatment. It does not, for example, contain any new features for beer distributors or liquor distilleries. It also creates much more competition for the wine business currently dominated by the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board's stores, as grocery stores and restaurants with the requisite licenses can now sell up to four bottles.
Proponents, including Wolf, say the changes help improve convenience for customers. The House Appropriations Committee estimated that the expansion of alcohol access could generate $150 million in new revenue for the state.
Observers from both sides believe the new law will mark the death knell of the state stores, which key Republican leaders have sought to privatize for years.
"It's an unsustainable model and, unless there are changes down the road, this will kill the PLCB," said Wendell Young IV, president of United Food and Commercial Workers Local 1776, which represents about 3,500 of the agency's 5,000 employees.
Pennsylvanians will soon be able to receive wine via direct shipment, joining a long list of other states that allow for it already.
Citing similar reforms in Virginia and Washington state, Young said he believes the stores would be shuttered and their employees left jobless in three-to-five years.
In the meantime, Young said, the union will work with the Wolf administration and the PLCB — which will be tasked with implementing the law — to enact changes to blunt the blow. So far, he said, the union hadn't isolated specific areas that could be addressed.
And the union wasn't the only stakeholder to see its position undermined.
The Distilled Spirits Council, which represents distillers who rely on the state stores to sell their products, called for expanding access to liquor, in addition to wine and beer, at grocery stores.
"Consumers want a level playing field for beer, wine and spirits," said the council's vice president, David Wojnar.
Similar concerns were expressed by the Malt Beverage Distributors Association. The distributors will watch as competitors gain the ability to sell wine and the law codifies the ability for gas stations to sell alcohol.
Amy Christie, executive director of the Pennsylvania Licensed Beverage & Tavern Association, saw the bill as a mixed bag. The establishments the association represents gain the ability to sell up to four bottles of wine, but also a powerful competitor in the form of casinos with the ability to serve alcohol around the clock.
"This is a win in a way that we can sell more product to go out the door," she said, but it underlined the need for taverns to be able to add video gaming machines to compete with the casinos.
Turzai Speaks On Liquor Modernization BillHouse Speaker Mike Turzai discusses 'historic' liquor modernization bill on track to reach Gov. Tom Wolf's desk.
But December's vote in the Senate, which gutted a Turzai bill to replace it with the reforms, and Tuesday's vote in the House showed strong bipartisan support for the modernization efforts—even if not all of the stakeholders are pleased.
And a number of local supermarket chains have already expressed interest in selling wine.
"Wine is something we've wanted to offer our customers, and we plan to do so when this is enacted," said Giant Food Stores spokeswoman Samantha Krepps.
PLCB Chair Tim Holden said the agency has sought many of the bill's provisions for years.
"Sunday sales, the ability for variable pricing, consumer convenience and rewards system," he said. "A lot of these are things we've been working on.
Holden, whose agency operates more than 600 state stores and oversees the larger distribution system, believes those measures will bring more revenue into the PLCB and, in turn, the state. And private businesses are still purchasing the wine from the agency, he said, even at 10 percent discount.
On Wednesday, the chair said the PLCB had pledged its support to Wolf and the General Assembly. The agency will be working out the details for some time, he said, and there's no timeline yet for full implementation.
And he remains optimistic that the changes won't kill the state stores.


How to Turn Your Bedroom Into A 5-Star Retreat?
A 5-star bedroom is something we all dream of. We wish to wake up in a luxurious environment to set a good mood for the upcoming day. And fall asleep feeling relaxed and ready to get some quality rest. Here, we present some tips and tricks on turning your bedroom into your favorite place at home.
Your bed is the sanctuary of your bedroom – it's the most important piece of furniture there, so it should get a quality treatment. A good mattress is a staple, but what matters just as much is what you put on it. Get yourself a luxurious, Egyptian cotton bedding set, and you will feel an instant upgrade in the room. It will turn your bed into a much more welcoming spot.
When you're not asleep, think about how you cover your bed. A soft, stylish throw that matches the interior of the room cannot be beaten. It's essential for making the room feel more deluxe, while also helping your Egyptian cotton sheets (sateen or percale) stay fresh for a longer time. Don't forget a few decorative cushions that will create that perfect, hotel-like look at your own home.
Now that your bed is all set, think about what's surrounding it. Is there a lot of clutter in your room? There shouldn't be. Luxury is synonymous with lots of space, so you should get rid of all the things you don't absolutely must have. Besides, various things scattered around the room distract your brain and prevent you from having a truly wonderful retreat.
Finally, don't underestimate the importance of smell. Open your windows regularly to get some fresh air in, and do invest in quality candles and home scents – just ensure they are natural and pleasant to you. Lavender is among the most popular scents to help you feel relaxed, but plants like lemon, jasmine, or even rosemary are known for their soothing effects.
Now that you've got some upgrade ideas for your bedroom, we're sure that the time you spend, there will instantly improve. Also, don't be too surprised if it increases quite significantly – knowing what a retreat you've made for yourself, we can't judge you!
Sateen or Percale – Which One To Choose?

© Archiv FMTM eV.
From left: Klaus Onnich, Markus Trommer, Dietmar Freymann, Peter Hübner, Roland Pötzschke
We are a group of currently 300 members who care deeply about the documentation and preservation of the more than 140-year-old Munich tram history. Since 1989 we have been volunteering for the construction and operation of a museum in Munich, for the preservation and renovation of historic vehicles and the archiving of everything that has to do with the Munich tram.
We conceive our task in the documentation of events and the transfer of this knowledge to the broad public - that is also why we keep neutral towards the current transport policy.
Our members come from all walks of life and all ages. Our youngest member was born in 2002, our oldest member in 1921. Some are employed by the public transport authorities or by the city of Munich. Some live outside Bavaria or live abroad - which from a typical Munich point of view is almost the same!
We all share the desire to keep the memory of the development of the tram in Munich and the associated work, technology, traffic and cultural history alive. After all there is always a piece of personal life history behind each exhibit, which is extremely interesting to explore and pass on.
Last but not least any historic tram train is exactly what is often described as "living history": there you can meet honorary conductors with their characteristic bags, who not only offer tickets, but also explanations to the vehicle, the track and the role they play themselves.
Which museum does have exhibits that can not only come to visitors, but also take them along in the truest sense of the word?
Of course, all this is associated with a lot of work which we have organized in several working teams. The largest group of volunteers is currently consisting of Museum supervisors and guides, who can be seen in their historic tramway uniforms at the MVG Museum on every opening day, whether at the ticket sales, at the shop, as a supervisor or at the driving simulators. Even at many festivals, our volunteers are on site and provide as "living exhibits" for a corresponding flair.
Members with experience or the urge for craftsmanship can get involved in the workshop group, which meets every Thursday and Saturday to work on the club's historic vehicles in the MVG Museum.
You can learn a lot about the workmanship and technology of old vehicles, but also about work methods and operations. Where else do you have the opportunity to help unloading, switching and wrapping a 27-meter-long articulated vehicle from 1960 for shelter? You could also, for example, help tracing the past on a vehicle from 1943 or learn (in the context of extensive storage work) how many spare parts are needed to obtain the vehicles. The historic Munich tramway collection now includes more than 40 different vehicles - and the next few are almost queing at the museum gate.
If you like it a tad smaller, you can get involved in our model train group. Here you can create small dioramas on your own and combine its modules with other H0 enthusiasts to a large facility. Train operations, in the model schedule as in real life, are not always an easy task!
No less important is the group of archival workers under the direction of our archivist. As the story continues each day and we continue to achieve greater collection resolutions, it is a task of almost Herculean extent. Our archive includes f.ex.now 50,000 photos alone. Additionally there are numerous files, plans, tickets, books, magazines, service clothing, signs, and much, much more.
And on top of that we are also looking after the holdings of the MVG archive.
Despite the quantities, browsing through the collections is always interesting. You can see, for example, entries of the first female conductors of 1915 in the service books, mostly brave maids from the country who sought their livelihood in the city during the First World War.
In the meantime, our archive is now often used by students and doctoral candidates for research of all kinds. If you would like to browse through our tram library yourself, you are welcome to contact us anytime during an opening day at the museum.
Futhermore there is still a small group of editors who have written most of the articles in this issue and take care of the final correction, layout and printing.
It is all work but the play should not be neglected. For more than 25 years we have been meeting once a month at our clubhouse to exchange views on current developments in the tram. Often impressive pictures or films from other cities are shown. A particular highlight is always the evenings in which our archivist puts together a small excerpt from the extensive stocks of the Munich tram.
In addition we organize a leisurely club outing once a year where we visit other companies or rail operators and enjoy the cultural highlights there. For our actively participating folks there is also an annual fun ride with a historic tram train and a summer party as a thank you.
To talk of all the milestones reached so far by the association: over the many years, numerous valuable historic Munich trams were added to the collection. Most recently the Munich Mobile Library tram from 1912/1928 and the prototype of the six-axle Articulated Grand Pram of 1960 came "home" from Hanover.
The Munich tram (built in 1957) is based on a tram train the members of the society saved from scrapping in 1996 and overhauled through their own volunteer workforce.
And, by the way, we moved an entire depot with all historically valuable parts, tools, documents, vehicles, archives and equipment to the new museum site. There were also countless anniversaries, openings, exhibitions and special trips we have organized with volunteer work only.
We, the "Friends of the Munich Tramway Museum e. V. ", are a non-profit recognized association. Through the next few years the conversion of the main workshop will bring major changes and quite a challenge to the continuing work on our vehicle projects.
