NASHVILLE (BP) -- The Southern Baptist Convention expanded by more than 270 churches in 2017. More people showed up for weekly worship services, and congregations gave more generously in a strengthening economy.
However, reported baptisms and membership declined as fewer churches participated in the SBC's Annual Church Profile (ACP).
Longstanding patterns continued to dominate the ACP, which is compiled by LifeWay Christian Resources in cooperation with Baptist state conventions.
-- The number of churches cooperating with the Southern Baptist Convention grew for the 19th consecutive year, reaching 47,544. That's a 16.3 percent increase in churches since 1997.
-- Membership fell for the 11th consecutive year, to 15 million. Since 2006, Southern Baptist congregations have lost about 1.3 million members.
-- Baptisms also declined, as they have for eight of the past 10 years. Congregations reported baptizing 254,122 people -- 26.5 percent fewer than in 2007. The latest ratio was one baptism for every 59 church members.
"It's heartbreaking to be baptizing fewer people for Christ, even though Southern Baptists have nearly 2,900 more churches than we had a decade ago," said LifeWay President Thom S. Rainer.
"Yet a quarter million baptisms is not an insignificant number. We praise God for every individual who has come to Christ and followed Him in baptism. It is my prayer that God would embolden Southern Baptists to share the Gospel with their friends and neighbors.
"We know conversion is only by the Holy Spirit, but we also know God begins most of these conversions with Gospel conversations."
Fewer churches reporting
The ACP numbers don't tell the full story of baptisms or other measurables among Southern Baptist churches.
Despite the best efforts of associations and state conventions across the country, 26 percent of churches did not participate, said Scott McConnell, executive director of LifeWay Research. Seventy-four percent of churches participated in the 2017 ACP survey by reporting at least one item. That's down from 80 percent in 2013 and 77 percent in each of the last three years.
For that reason, reported totals do not include all of the activity within Southern Baptist life, though the summary does include adjustments in some categories for non-reporting congregations.
This summer, LifeWay Research plans to release statistical analysis of the current state of the SBC that includes estimates of the congregations that did not report.
"Reports from congregations are the most accurate way to tell the story of the entire convention," McConnell said, urging churches to participate in future ACP surveys.
Despite the lower participation rate, the ACP report shows increases in some areas.
Average attendance at weekly worship services climbed 2.3 percent to 5.3 million, an increase of nearly 120,000. That's comparable to adding every man, woman and child in a city like Wilmington, N.C., or Beaumont, Texas, to the church pews every week.
States outside the South reported some of the strongest signs of growth. California now has 47 more congregations and Michigan has 24 more congregations than the previous year. Those figures include churches along with church-type missions -- congregations that are not fully independent or self-sustaining.
Non-Southern states are now home to 21.3 percent of Southern Baptist churches and 32.2 percent of church-type missions.
Reported baptisms nearly doubled in Colorado and rose 31.0 percent in Iowa, 17.6 percent in Alaska, and 13.4 percent in New Mexico. In North and South Dakota, weekly worship attendance grew by 20.8 percent while baptisms climbed 34.8 percent.
Overall, Southern Baptist churches reported 4,376 church-type missions last year, down 2.6 percent from 2016. The count of churches and missions combined is 51,920 congregations.
Giving & mission expenditures
Southern Baptists saw an increase in overall giving of almost $267 million. Total and undesignated church receipts reported through the ACP increased 3.3 percent and 2.3 percent respectively.
Reported mission expenditures fell by about $4 million in 2017. However, the numbers are not directly comparable since there were changes in how many and which state conventions collected this statistic.
Congregations reported total mission expenditures of just under $1.19 billion.
Individual congregations voluntarily report their ACP data to their local Baptist associations and/or their state conventions. National statistics are compiled and released when all cooperating state conventions have reported.

Galaxy Note 9 5G dilemma: upgrade now or wait for the 2019 mobile revolution
August 10, 2018	Technology 6 Views
The Galaxy Note 9 comes with some new bells and whistles, but they may fade in comparison to the next year's upgrade.
Sarah Tew / CNET
It's a fine example of a First World problem: Spend $ 1
,000 on the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 now, or endure the painful wait until next year and the potentially massive upgrades.
This is a decision that some have to make after Samsung unveiled its 9th grade on Thursday in New York.
To be fair, this is a question everyone has to ask themselves. But it's a particular dilemma for note loyalists who tend to pay special attention to the latest and greatest. According to Samsung, Note customers are "looking for the best in technology when it comes to technology," says Suzanne De Silva, director of product marketing for their US business.
The S Pen Stylus from Galaxy Note 9 is a remote control
But what if the best fades now compared to mega-upgrades, will we see next year? It is expected that the long-awaited appearance of a fingerprint sensor embedded in the display will appear in the Galaxy S10 and presumably also in the 10th grade. Finally, we also see Samsung's Foldable Phone .
However, the most significant advance will be the ability to tap into the supersonic 5G networks that are currently building the carriers. Next-generation wireless technology is ready to spur on a mobile revolution with increased speed and responsiveness, and carriers fall on themselves all over, nullifying their potential.
Remember that typical consumers – even stubborn note fans – will do this and have owned their phone for several years. So, whoever invests the considerable sum to buy a 9-mark more expensive than the previous one will know that they will miss the 5G revolution for a generation or two. And for that amount, 5G is not just an ambiguous term. Probably they are already drooling over the millimeter-wave throughput (translation: a really, really fast connection).
"They're definitely super-technically aware," said Carolina Milanesi, a creative strategy analyst.
Making even worse are the few upgrades that Note 9 users will get this year. The highlights of the phone include a battery with 21 percent more capacity and a camera that recognizes and optimizes itself for different scenarios. Many of the core internals like the process or and camera are already found in the cheaper Samsung Galaxy S9 or Galaxy S9 +.
Samsung does not think that this is a problem for the most extreme note-lovers.
"Most Note-y users of Note are updated every year," said Drew Blackard, senior marketing director of Samsung, on the sidelines of the launch event. He noted that the company introduced a trade-in program last year to facilitate the annual update.
(See CNET's How-To Guide .)
But if you plan to stay on the phone for a while, what do you do?
Let the 5G Hype Begin
Technically savvy consumers – and most note users – will inevitably have heard of 5G. Not familiar with the term? Do not worry, the carriers will start in 2019 when many of the networks go online.
AT & T will launch its 5G network later this year in three cities, more likely next year. Verizon will also have 5G available in four cities this year, but only as Replacement for DSL or Cable . A mobile service is expected for early next year .
T-Mobile plans to grow big launches in 30 cities including major markets such as New York and Los Angeles in 2019. It expects nationwide coverage the following year. Sprint spins next year for six cities though plans could change if T-Mobile and Sprint seal their merger agreement .
How big is a jump? Brian Higgins, vice president of device and product marketing at Verizon, said a 5G modem could reach speeds of 5 gigabits per second. According to a report by the test company OpenSignal in July Verizon is on average at just over 20 megabits – yes megabits per second.
The first 5G phones will hit the market in the second quarter next year, according to Qualcomm president Cristiano Amon.
"From the user's point of view, your upload of high-resolution photos will be seamless, even when you're at the edge of the network, under very poor signal conditions," said Amon on the sidelines of the film's Samsung event.
In other words, you will not want to miss that.
The case for upgrading now
Nevertheless, one can say something about immediate gratification. These 5G networks will not be ubiquitous, and depending on your carrier, they may not even be available in 2019.
This optimistic estimate from Verizon will only work if you're actually in the 5G coverage area, which also does not guarantee how sporadic the carrier rollouts will be.

Although there is no 5G, the Galaxy Note 9 will be equipped with the same advanced modem as the Galaxy S9, meaning it's optimized for the operator's LTE Advanced networks. For example, both the GS9 and the Galaxy Note 9 are set to run on T-Mobile's 600 megahertz spectrum. A new range of radio air waves promises improved coverage throughout the country.
Similarly, embedding the fingerprint sensor under the display is a nice feature, but not a big step off the option of unlocking the phone with a reader on the back. The foldable phone feature may in the near future be just a game example with little practical value (Samsung insists it will not be .)
"Some are really driven by the taste of cutting edge technology, others will wait to see if the tech is proven, "Blackard said. "For these users, they can enjoy the grade 9."

Helping Kids Through Rowing
In the middle of New York City sits an unexpected sight: a boathouse; and inside is an unexpected group of rowers: middle and high schoolers from across the city's fragile communities. Every year, in this place, thousands of kids show up to find something in themselves — whether strength, confidence, discipline, or community — that can make a difference in their lives.
Row New York is one of the most successful after-school programs in the city: 100% of its students graduate high school (on time or better), and 96% will go on to college. Rowing offers them a chance to engage in challenging work in a constructive way, and its students take that experience with them to their schoolwork and throughout their lives.

Q: How to replace the color of non transparent pixels of a PDF I have a pdf file which contains a white graphic over a transparent background and I am trying to find a way to replicate the same pdf except replacing the non transparent white pixels with black ones.
I have been using imagemagick convert to convert the pdf into a png alpha, extracting the alpha channel and negating it with 300+ dpi, but it's ain't enough, since the vector object/s are rasterised and the quality is degraded.
I tried using ghostscript with pdfwrite but I couldn't find the right postscript command that would allow me to solve the issue.
Help would be appreciated!

9 Best Documentaries about Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan
Combat Vet Selects the Best of the Best Films
Johnny Rico
Johnny Rico is a U.S. Army veteran and the author of "Blood Makes the Grass Grow Green: A Year in the Desert with Team America."
If you're looking for a way to understand the "war on terror" or the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and want to watch a documentary instead of reading about it, there are a few great films that give you the run down in a more realistic manner with a decent degree of accuracy.
These nine movies are the best of the best from analyzing the news media perspective to the feelings going on in a soldiers head as he pulls the trigger. These selections were made by a war movie expert and Afghanistan combat veteran who has lived through it.
The Kill Team (2013)
The Kill Team.
In every war, there are war crimes and the films about them. "The Kill Team" is a documentary about a kill team that existed within a small group of infantry soldiers in Afghanistan.
One of the real key parts of the documentary is an explosive interview with one of the soldiers convicted as part of the kill team, a soldier who spouts off at length about killing and loving war and loving the chance to shoot at people.
A lot of veterans angrily denounce this guy, and for good reason. What's fascinating about this documentary is it shows the thin line between villains (the soldiers in this film) and the heroes (other soldiers). The tough part is that the feelings expressed by the convicted soldier in the film are pretty normal for infantry soldiers. The big difference is that those thoughts are never (or rarely shared) with a documentary film crew.
Restrepo (2010) and Korengal (2014)
Sebastian Junger and Tim Hetherington (since then, he was killed in Libya), spent a year with the second platoon of Battle Company, 503rd Infantry Regiment, 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team as they sought to secure the Korengal Valley. Two movies "Restrepo" released in 2010 and "Korengal" released in 2014 are essentially one story split into two parts. The second film is told in the same style with excess footage from the first.
Both films capture the intensity of infantry combat in a way that no other documentary has ever done. Both films illustrate the unique difficulties of fighting in Afghanistan, with an enemy that is hard to find in difficult mountainous terrain and a population that will offer you tea one minute and dig holes for IEDs (explosives) the next. Both are equally good and both get top billing for two of the best war documentaries of all time.
The Unknown Known (2013)
Donald Rumsfeld. Getty Images
"The Unknown Known" is a film by Academy Award-winning documentarian Errol Morris that takes a spectacular look at something the American people should know about but didn't garner much attention: the multitude of mistakes and fumbles.
In the film, former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld puts on a charm offensive, shrugging off any consequences for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, making light of them as if they were no big deal. The most telling takeaway is that he seems to be indifferent to mistakes that were made. This would be fine if others (and American lives) didn't have to pay for them.
No End in Sight. Magnolia Pictures
Though "No End in Sight" is outdated, it accurately captures the unsettling feeling of a time and place in American history when the Iraq war had no end in sight. Everything was going badly. The American people were in a quandary about the search for weapons of mass destruction that should have taken six months but dragged on for years.
This Academy Award-nominated documentary deftly examines the mistakes that were made, who made them, and why they were made. The film does take sides and stakes a position. To some, the movie may not seem objective. Regardless, the film treats the war with the reverence it deserves. It is one of those documentaries that might leave you feeling angry and upset.
Standard Operating Procedure (2008)
Standard Operating Procedure. Sony Pictures Classics
Errol Morris directed "Standard Operating Procedure" in 2008 and takes a hard look at Abu Ghraib and the use of torture. This documentary includes interviews with lower-level service personnel who were convicted. The film points out that although the orders came from the top of the administration, the people who carried out the orders (some went terribly overboard) were the only ones to get punished for it.
Another recommended film on this topic is "Taxi to the Darkside," a companion piece to this film and the second film about the same tactics used in Afghanistan.
Iraq for Sale: The War Profiteers (2006)
Iraq for Sale. Brave New Films
No list of documentaries about the "war on terror" would be complete if you didn't touch on the fact that war is big business. For a lot of people, having soldiers overseas in Iraq and Afghanistan made them money and lots of it.
Knowing who profits from war, when it arises, is always an area that needs to be explored. This film raises important questions. It is a documentary that will make you angry and upset at all the people out there in the world cheating the system and profiting off of the misery of others.
The story of Pat Tillman is about a former NFL player that quit a lucrative professional football contract to join the U.S. Army. He was accidentally killed by friendly fire in Afghanistan. The documentary illuminates federal government-level corruption. Tillman's death was covered up by the Bush administration. It shows how the administration was anxious to use the heroic NFL player as a recruiting tool and make Tillman out to be a figure in death that he had never been in life. For example, there's a scene at the funeral ceremony where Tillman is made out by the Army to be a God-fearing patriot who never questioned the mission. The truth is that Tillman was an atheist and didn't support the war in Iraq.
The "Body of War" won "best documentary" by the National Board of Review about a single soldier, Thomas Young. He fought in Iraq for just a few weeks before he was shot and returned home into a ruined body. You learn about his struggle to live a normal life, to endure constant pain, and to manage relationships, love, and life, while physically decimated. This is not a comfortable or easy story to watch. But, it is an important film that shows how so many soldiers came home this way. It tells you their collective story through this one soldier. A few years after this documentary was released, Young died from complications as a result of his war wounds.
Control Room (2004)
Control Room. Magnolia Pictures
This documentary, released early on during the Iraq War, is about the media and how the media narrative shapes the contours of the public conversation.
In war, as in most issues of national security, public perception is sometimes more important to spin than the absolute truth. In "Control Room" you learn everything is relative, and how something looks to any particular individual largely depends on the information they've been fed.

Antonio Brown Just Released a Rap Video – And Boy, Will It Make You Cringe
If you love a good celebrity trainwreck, then you will want to see the music video for Antonio Brown's first track, 'Whole Lotta Money.'
Antonio Brown had better hope the NFL lets him play football again. | Source: Jasen Vinlove-USA TODAY Sports
Antonio Brown's Twitter feed was very active over the weekend.
Alongside his same old craziness, he also released his first music video Sunday night.
If it wasn't clear before, it should be now—he needs to get back into football.
If you follow Antonio Brown on social media or Google him from time to time, then you're aware that the former NFL wide receiver has been working on a new career—musician.
It's not a shocking move. Many athletes have gone that route in recent years.
Le'Veon Bell, Cole Beasley, Arian Foster, and Deion Sanders are just a few current and former NFL players that have dabbled in music. Some were better than others, but most—well, most of them probably should have never tried in the first place.
Talking to you, Prime Time.
Antonio Brown's Cringeworthy Music Video
Antonio Brown has been tweeting about his upcoming rap album, No White Woman 2020, for some time now. Sunday night, he shared his first music video – "Whole Lotta Money" – which was about one thing.
Can you guess?
The Reception Wasn't Great – But Entirely Deserved
The video wasn't exactly an overnight success.
It got fewer than 10,000 views Sunday night. By Monday afternoon, it had cracked 62,000. Of those, about 2,600 gave it a thumbs down while 1,100 gave it a thumbs up. The reaction on Twitter and in the comment section of the video was not complimentary.
Many joked about the catchphrase he repeats over and over. Some thought it was ironic he named his album "No More White Woman 2020" then featured nothing but white women in the video.
The jokes were to be expected. But what about its musical value? Over 800 comments were left on the video's YouTube page and included gems like:
This is the type of music that gives our friends who really can't rap hope to keep trying lol 😂
Sounds like he's singing through a harmonica
Please do literally ANYTHING else besides this.
This makes Soundcloud rappers look infinitely better considering this cost a whole lotta money to make.
this might be worse than nick cannons diss track
Trust me: It's pretty bad. His second release was better received, but it wasn't hard to find room for improvement:
Method to the Madness?
It is hard not to wonder if Antonio Brown has cultivated this crazy persona on social media as a means of free publicity. As much as people love to watch a good meltdown, his antics have been pure gold.
He's got every sports and celebrity blogger in the Western Hemisphere checking his Twitter feed daily lest they miss his latest blow up or apology.
Hopefully, the writing on the wall is as clear to him as it is to the rest of us. He has no future in music.
AB—it is time to stop the madness. Quit acting like a fool. Do not record any more rap videos. And do whatever you have to do to get back into football.
Falling back on music as a secondary career—it's not going to happen, man.

Corporation Perambulates the Bounds
0:41 1928 Southwold, Suffolk
The Corporation of the Borough of Southwold undertake an ancient custom.
A proclamation is shown, giving notice to the Borough of Southwold that the Corporation will 'perambulate the Bounds of the Borough' on Monday, August 6th, 1928. Outside the Town Hall on Southwold High Street, residents and onlookers watch as the Corporation and their followers begin the perambulation equipped with the traditional willow canes to 'beat the bounds'.
The group are also shown walking the seaside boundary along the beach, lead by a marching band and Scout group. Finally, Corporation leaders climb into rowing boats in order to follow the boundary which runs along the Walberswick side of the River Blyth.
The Beating of the Bounds is an ancient custom. Equipped with willow canes, the party would proceed to the extreme points of the borough boundaries where a small boy was beaten with a cane. It was intended to teach him the limits of his home town for ever more. This had its use for it was not unknown for elderly men to testify in court regarding what lands belonged to whom. In later years the party would tap the boundary point instead. Part of the party went South onto the beach; the other part went north into the town. The party had to cross the river because the boundary ran along the Walberswick side. In this film the vicar is present. Another version of this ceremony is concerned with the Church and is connected to fertility rites

More Voting Rights Restoration Coming for Virginia
Anyone with drug felony convictions in Virginia will now be eligible for automatic voting rights restoration.
Brentin Mock Apr 18, 2014 10:01AM EDT
Infographic on Virginia voting rights restoration

Virginians with felony convictions on their criminal records will have an easier path to having their voting rights restored thanks to reforms called for this morning by Governor Terry McAuliffe, the Richmond Times-Dispatch reports. Under McAuliffe's new rules, the time that people convicted of "violent" felonies must wait to apply for rights restoration will shrink from five years to three years. The list of crimes that constitute "violent felonies" in Virginia has historically included drug charges. That will change with these new reforms. All drug distribution and manufacturing crimes will be recategorized as "nonviolent" felonies, which means Virginians with these drug convictions will have no waiting period for applying for restoration. All "nonviolent" felony convictions already qualify Virginians for automatic rights restoration when they appeal directly to the governor, a policy instituted by former governor Bob McDonnell.
Finally, in case there's still any confusion around what crimes are considered "violent" or "nonviolent" felonies, the McAuliffe administration plans to post a list on its website for clarification.
"Virginians who have made a mistake and paid their debt to society should have their voting rights restored through a process that is as transparent and responsive as possible," McAuliffe said in a statement.
Virginia once had some of the strictest terms for restoring voting rights in the nation. A coalition of grassroots organizations led by the Virginia NAACP state conference, Advancement Project, Virginia New Majority, Virginia Organizing, Holla Back and Restore, S.O.B.E.R. House, and Bridging the Gap in Virginia have worked to make the new reforms possible.
But there is still much further to go. The civil rights organizations are pushing for automatic voting rights restoration for all people who have paid their debts to society immediately after serving their time in prison.
"While we are glad the Governor has responded to community concerns, we remain concerned about Virginia's continued distinction between violent and non-violent offenses in the voting rights restoration process," said Advancement Project Managing Director and General Counsel, Edward A. Hailes. "There are numerous benefits to restoring voting rights for people who have completed their sentences, including the fostering of full community integration and the fulfillment of our core democratic principles. Those benefits apply for everyone, regardless of the basis for their conviction. We encourage Virginia to join the majority of states, which do not make distinctions between different types of offenses, by passing a constitutional amendment to automatically restore voting rights for all."

In a previous job I was involved in testing fire extinguishers which were intended for use in cars, I have let off hundreds, and without doubt halon is best.
The problem you can get with powder is that the fire can continue in the less accessible parts of the engine bay, whereas with halon as long as you aim it in the rough direction it worked ever time.
AFFF-what a waste of time.
The amount of rally cars i have seen burn out completely after having three or four AFFF 2 litre units sprayed on it is mind boggling.
As someone has pointed out, a burning car is far worse for the environment than squirting and extinguisher off.
I would rather pay the fine and live/save my machine than watch it burn out with useless AFFF.
On the back of the 432 APC we have on the paintball site are two lovely Halon units, they'll be coming out with me, i'd rather be skint than look like Simon Weston.
Get a halon, paint it red, stick AFFF stickers on, that's what lots of road rally boys do, bit naughty but least it works.
great thread guys....... so which extigusher do i buy for my 4.7 metre rib ? does it have to be specifally a marine one or will any do the job ?
The best thing about Halon extinguishers is you can get them for NOTHING - trouble is they are hard to find now - just wish I had collected a load a while ago.
Does anybody know if having a fire extinguisher on board entitles you to a reduction in insurance premium?
I have a petrol outboard and a 60 gallon fuel tank. If there was a fire, I'd get everyone in the water and as far away from the boat as possible, so the only kind of extinguisher that would work for me would be some kind of automatic one inside the cowling if there is such a thing?
Has anybody heard of/ had an experience of an outboard catching fire?
Reference "all auto extinguishers are Dry Powder"
That is not the case. For Inboard engines you can get the Halon subsitute called FE 2000 I think. Insurance companies do not like DP as it can wreck the engine if powder is sucked in, despite tha fact the you may have just saved the boat from a complete burn out!!!
Yes I have heard of an outboard catching fire. A engine installer had too much length left in the cable loom and did know what to do with it so he wrapped it around the engine before putting the cover back on!!!!!!! Guess what happened next???
There was a mariner 50 4 stroke in plymouth that had an eletrical fire a few weeks ago something must have caused a short on the emectronics side and it went up. First fire extinguisher failed to fire but second one did work.
Boat towed in I think it was just wiring and plastic bits to replace.


The "Who Is Malcolm X?" concert was held on May 19, 2015, at the Bataclan in Paris, France, to commemorate what would have been Malcolm X's 90th birthday.
The event was put on by my friends Disiz (Def Jam France), David Le Guillou, and myself, through The Source, with the blessing of the late Malcom X's estate, generously made possible by attorney L. Londell McMillan, The NorthStar Group, and X Legacy, LLC. It was promoted by MTV France, and featured in The Guardian and several other prominent media outlets.
It was held in conjunction with a campaign to educate the youth of France about the legacy of Malcolm X and what we can learn from him today, and ran concurrent with other tributes in the United States and internationally.
The concert was later mentioned in the academic textbook "Muslim Youth in the Diaspora: Challenging Extremism Through Pop Culture" by Pam Nilan.

Quibi had 1.7 million downloads in its first week, doing slightly better than expected
By Brad Lang on	 14th Apr 2020 News, Phone News, Technology News
Quibi, the app that's punting itself as "the next big thing" was expected to pull in around 1.5 million downloads. Clearly there's more of a market for movies being cut up into 10-minute chunks than all those industry experts thought.
Last week we reported on the announcement and release a Quibi, an "exciting" new entertainment app that's producing original movies series or re-imagining of classics that can be viewed in ten-minute chunks.
In an attempt to compete with the likes of TikTok and YouTube, two platforms that thrive off entertainment that distills itself into bite-sized chunks, Quibi wants to bring high production values and compelling stories into the same realm. Which is…a really stupid idea, if you ask us. Who's actually going to pay $8 a month (almost R150) just to watch a movie that's been edited into 10-minute slices without ads? Beyond that, who wants to do that exclusively on a phone because Quibi isn't able to broadcast to a television?
As it turns out, 1.7 million people want that experience. Or at least, they were intrigued enough to download the app. Coming in just above expectations, Quibi was downloaded by just under 2 million people in a week but I doubt it's jumping for joy just yet. See, Quibi offers all users a 90 day trial period so no-one's actually paid for the app yet. It's stuck in this weird limbo where people have downloaded it but it hasn't actually generated any revenue yet.
So while 1.7 million downloads sounds impressive, the company isn't really reaping the rewards from that figure just yet. Beyond that number, it's worth noting that the competing streaming service Disney+ received 10 million downloads on its' first day. At least Quibi was paying attention when everyone responded to the lack of TV viewing with a "Seriously?" as CEO Meg Whitman confirmed that a large screen experience is currently in development.
"We had always planned to be able to cast to your TV, so we're going to see if we can accelerate that in the engineering roadmap," Whitman said on CNBC, which was reported by The Verge. "We'll eventually get there, but it was never a part of the launch. If we had known about COVID, maybe it would have been," which seems like a strange excuse but play on, I guess.

Romans weapons of war | What song the Sirens sang . . .
Rome was an empire and to build an empire requires war and to win a war you need weapons. Weapons come in many different forms. The weapon of words the weapon of fear and just plain old weapons made of metal and wood. The roman army had to find weapons to fit their tactics and fighting style and through time they found what worked best. The Gladius a short sword usually about 18 inches long and 2 inches wide with a double-edged blade used for thrusting at short range used in the parts of close courters combat that sometimes came in battle and made longer weapons useless. For the long range weapon they used a javelin with a long thin iron shank with a barbed tip and a heavy shaft these features gave this weapon a armor piercing ability that was devastating when used in the right way they were even hard to throw back because the barbed tip kept it from being pulled out of things and the initial throw would often bend the shank making it impossible to use again. These were also used in formations to create a spikey wall that they could ram up against an enemy with. Most romans carried two pilum and threw them as they charged enemy soldiers. They wore many other weapons from other forms of spears to daggers that were placed on them in the chance that they get disarmed. It was these weapons that made the romans so fearsome in battle but even more then the weapons was how they used them and how they used them was to completely dominate their enemy to form one of the world's great empires.

Today's topics include Google giving publishers a way to load content faster on mobile devices, FireEye reveals a new Android Malvertising threat, Samsung's Q3 profit forecasts beat analysts' estimates, and Big Switch and Facebook demonstrate their open switch software.
Google has launched an open-source initiative dubbed Accelerated Mobile Pages that is designed to give publishers a way to load their content faster on mobile devices. Central to the effort is AMP HTML, a new framework built out of existing Web technologies that Google says will give Website owners a way to build lightweight Web pages optimized for faster loading on mobile devices.
Security firm FireEye reported yesterday a new malicious adware attack called Kemoge that is already affecting Android users around the world. While the full impact of Kemoge has yet to be quantified, FireEye warns that it's non-trivial. FireEye research scientist Yulong Zhang told eWEEK that they don't have the exact infection number in the wild, but based on the fact that customers from over 20 countries have been infected, the infection range should be quite large.
Based on forecasts from about 30 financial analysts, Samsung's estimated third-quarter 2015 operating profit is expected to be about $6.3 billion, which is an increase of about 80 percent from the same quarter one year ago. The forecast and estimates were revealed yesterday in a post on the Samsung Tomorrow blog. They also estimated Q3 sales at about $44.4 billion.
Big Switch Networks, Facebook and NTT are unveiling a Linux-based network operating system that can be used to bring together the disparate networking components that have been developed within the Facebook-led Open Compute Project. The three companies will demonstrate Open Network Linux tomorrow at the Open Compute Project's Engineering Workshop in Boston. Big Switch contributed Open Network Linux to the OCP, and now more than 15 open switch hardware platforms support the operating system, including Facebook's Wedge switch.
