E-waste is now the fastest-growing waste stream in the world. This waste stream reached 48.5 million tons in 2018. E-waste typically isn't biodegradable and contains components made from toxic materials. Breaking down and recycling the e-waste, causes health problems. "Workers...suffer high incidences of birth defects and infant mortality." The material value [of e-waste] alone is worth $62.5 billion, three times more than the annual output of the world's silver mines and more than the GDP of most countries.
The group formed the Platform for Accelerating the Circular Economy (PACE), and announced itself at Davos—a yearly gathering of the world's wealthy elite—where it released its first report. "E-waste is now the fastest-growing waste stream in the world," PACE's report said. "It is estimated this waste stream reached 48.5 million tonnes in 2018." Most of that waste comes from Europe and the United States and ends up in places like Nigeria and Hong Kong, which suffer the human and economic costs of disposing of the material.
PACE wants to combat this growing problem by communicating the health dangers and economic cost of e-waste, building partnerships with corporations and governments, then enacting coordinated plans to tackle the problem. PACE thinks it can get corporations to act out of their self interest.
"The material value [of e-waste] alone is worth $62.5 billion, three times more than the annual output of the world's silver mines and more than the GDP of most countries," PACE's report said.
For Kuehr, just getting the elites at Davos to pay attention was a victory. "We succeeded in [getting] it on the political agenda and we are proud that it is now also a key-topic at the [World Economic Forum] Annual Meeting in Davos," he said. Kuehr also pointed out that more and more consumers are purchasing products that generate e-waste and, if the problem isn't handled, humans could be generating 120 million metrics tonnes of e-waste a year by 2050. According to PACE, making one tonne of laptops releases 10 tonnes of carbon dioxide into the air.
Burning pits of toxic e-waste poisoning workers, and consumer goods smuggled into countries like Nigeria paint a dire picture. But there's plenty of reasons to hope—the right to repair movement is growing in the US and Europe, and the UN's new coalition represents a global approach to the problem.


The Detroit rapper Eminem (aka Marshall Mathers) famously earned a mentor in Dr. Dre for his cutting lyrics and slick, rapid-fire delivery. He signed to Aftermath Entertainment for his major-label debut, 1999's The Slim Shady LP, on which he channeled his visceral anger into edgy jokes and controversial hits. He continued that pattern on 2000's The Marshall Mathers LP, rapping about murdering his wife, among other provocations. His ensuing releases, 2002's The Eminem Show, 2009's Relapse, 2013's The Marshall Mathers LP 2, and more helped confirm his status as an industry darling. He picked up multiple Grammys, including several for Best Rap Album. Eminem returned in 2017 with his ninth album, Revival.
All across his 10th album, the more things change, the more Eminem stays the same.


Famous for his fondness of marijuana and Cheech & Chong comic albums, Thomas B. Kin Chong was born on May 24, 1938 in Edmonton, Alberta. His father, Stanley Chong was a truck driver who had moved to Canada from China and his mother, Lorna Jean, was a waitress. The family took up residence in Calgary in a conventional neighborhood. Chong attended Crescent High School but dropped out at the age of 16, having developed a profound love and interest for music.
His career started in 1960s when he started playing guitar for, "The Shades". The band later changed its name to, "Little Daddy & The Bachelors" upon moving to Vancouver. Along with another member, Chong opened a nightclub, named, "Blue Balls", in Vancouver, in 1963. In 1965, the group paired up with Gordy Records and released their album. The song, "Does Your Mama Know About Me" from the album, earned reached 29 on the "Billboard Hot 100". After making two more singles, Chong was fired by his producer, Johnny Bristol, because he missed the appointment for their application of a Green Card, which would permit them to move and live in America. Shortly after this, the band split up.
The famous duo of Tommy Chong and Cheech Marin gave the world several albums which the two wrote together. Two of the Cheech & Chong albums also earned nominations for "Best Comedy Album" at the Grammy Awards. Chong was also the director for four of the movies that featured the two of them while he acted in all seven of them with Marin.
Unfortunately due to Marin's desire to pursue acting as a mainstream actor, the two parted ways in 1985. For Chong, it was the beginning of a dry spell as far as his acting career was concerned. However he was offered the role of, "Leo" in "That 70s Show", in which he played a fun-loving hippie much similar to his real self.
In 2004, Chong was originally supposed to be a part of, "The Marijuana-Logues" which was a Broadway show but he was forced not to by his Parole Officer. Having already been in the trouble with the law, Chong compiled and the show got cancelled. Following 2005, Josh Gilbert produced and directed a documentary featuring the life story of Chong which was showcased the Toronto International Film Festival.
Chong got back together with Marin in "Cherokee Hair Tampons", an episode of South Park. After that in 2008 the duo officially reunited and initiated a tour called, "Light Up America and Canada". The two were also present on the "Opie and Anthony" and "The Howaes Stern Show" amongst others. In 2010, they compered WWE Raw and guest starred in one of the episodes of The Simpsons. Chong was appeared in "Franklin & Bash", as a Judge, in 2011. He accepted to take part in "Dancing with the Stars" where he was teamed up with Peta Murgatroyd. The two made it till the semi-finals when they were finally eliminated. Chong was the oldest actor who had it that far in the show.
Apart from his career in acting, Thomas Chong is an activist for the legalization of marijuana and he is also a board member of "National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws". In 2012, he announced that he had prostate cancer since three years but shortly declared that he was cured now.

The 1933 Glass–Steagall Act is widely viewed as a law that ended overly risky financial practices that led to the Great Depression. It's a great reputation, but not deserved.
Glass-Steagall was, in fact, a triumph of smart politics over sound policy. Inspired by America's historical mistrust of banking and so-called speculative investing, its terribly designed rules and regulations continued the long line of bad policies that produced one of the most fragile banking systems of the developed world.
To put it bluntly, Glass-Steagall was counterproductive and wholly unnecessary. Yet, today, some people maintain that we shouldn't have repealed Glass-Steagall; that letting banks buy stocks is just dumb.
Those people are wrong on two counts. The 1999 law that supposedly repealed Glass-Steagall didn't. It repealed only two sets of four restrictions so that commercial banks could legally affiliate with investment banks. But even if it had repealed all four sets of restrictions, there would still be regulations that prevent banks from being able to just start buying stocks willy-nilly.
Despite fervent and widespread belief that Glass-Steagall was a roaring success, Congress was able to uncover precious little evidence that it was fixing anything. Indeed, there is virtually no evidence that banks engaging in securities activities prior to Glass-Steagall were in worse financial condition than their specialized peers.
In fact, evidence actually shows that banks engaged in both types of financial activities – commercial banking and investment banking – were stronger than those institutions engaged in only commercial banking.
From 1930 to 1933, 26.3 percent of all national banks failed, but only 6.5 percent of the 62 banks with securities affiliates as of 1929 failed. Similarly, only 7.6 percent of the 145 banks with large bond operations failed.
The record also shows that the 1933 Glass-Steagall restrictions protected Wall Street investment banks from their commercial bank competition (and vice versa).
So it was disappointing when, during his campaign, President Trump called for a "21st century Glass-Steagall." Of course, the details were murky, and there could be a huge difference between a 21st century version of Glass-Steagall and the original version.
After the election, many observers assumed Gary Cohn, Trump's National Economic Council Director, would be an internal force against a return to Glass-Steagall.
But just last week, Cohn reportedly told several Senate Banking Committee members that he would support a Glass-Steagall-type separation between commercial banking and investment banking firms.
In all fairness, it is still unclear exactly what the administration will support. The folks at Treasury are undertaking a thorough review of financial market regulation as per an Executive Order signed in February.
So there's still a great deal of time to discuss these issues and figure out how to implement the best financial market regulations possible. In the spirit of furthering that discussion, here are a few Glass-Steagall facts that policymakers should keep in mind.
The earliest and most noteworthy financial disasters during the 2008 crisis were pure investment banks (Lehman, Bear Stearns, Merrill Lynch) and pure commercial banks (Washington Mutual, Wachovia).
Glass-Steagall-type restrictions would not prevent banks from taking "risky bets" with insured deposits unless the restrictions prevent banks from making consumer and commercial loans.
The 1933 Glass–Steagall separation applied only to U.S. banks' domestic Internationally, U.S. commercial banks regularly offered securities services. By the 1980s, the top 30 Eurobond underwriters were U.S. bank affiliates. Citicorp offered investment-banking services in over 35 countries, and Chase Manhattan had offices in almost twice as many countries as 10 major investment banks combined.
Ferdinand Pecora, chief counsel for the Senate Committee on Banking and Currency, conducted politically successful hearings in 1933 and 1934 that won him the nickname The Hellhound of Wall Street. Virtually none of the more than 11,000 pages of testimony from these hearings provides evidence regarding the safety and soundness of commercial banks and their securities affiliates.
Much like the frenzied environment on Capitol Hill during the 2008 financial crisis and the passage of the 2010 Dodd–Frank Act, most of the Glass–Steagall-related hearings were more focused on casting blame than shedding light on – and actually fixing – the problems that caused the crash.
In both instances we ended up with legislation that tried to design financial markets by dictating precisely who can take which financial risks. This approach does not make markets safer.
Instead, it harms consumers via higher prices, fewer choices, and less opportunity because it protects firms from competition. And it ends up being consumer protection for billionaires.
Even Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), the consummate Wall Street critic who sponsored a new Glass-Steagall bill to separate commercial and investment banking, has admitted that those restrictions would not have prevented the 2008 crisis (or even the well-publicized JP Morgan "London whale" trading loss).
Re-implementing Glass-Steagall-type restrictions is a simple-sounding reform that actually does nothing to fix the real problems in the financial system. Many of these problems center on the horrible incentives that federal policies create, and they're going to be very difficult to deal with.
Federally backed deposit insurance creates terrible incentives in the banking industry, and the problem has steadily worsened since the 1930s. FDIC insurance now goes well beyond protecting the average depositor.
In 2005, swaps, repos, and mortgage-related securities received special exemptions from bankruptcy provisions, making counterparties less interested in how safe the instruments were.
The mortgage-backed securities (MBS) at the heart of the 2008 crisis were explicitly blessed as safe by federal regulators, with the express goal of funding more nontraditional mortgages.
These issues have well-connected constituents that will fight to the death to keep their advantages. But if we're going to improve the incentive structure in financial markets and make things safer and more efficient, policymakers have to address these issues.
There are many more ways to improve financial regulation in the U.S., so it's very encouraging that the Trump administration is actively seeking to improve the framework.
The U.S. has a terrible track record in this area, and Glass-Steagall is just one example of the many bad polices Congress has implemented.
Perhaps the 21st century is the time to get it right.

Are COVID-19 distancing measures contributing to a spike in overdose deaths in the DTES?
Jon Woodward CTV News Toronto Videojournalist
@CTV_Jon Contact
Published Tuesday, April 28, 2020 7:33PM PDT
VANCOUVER -- A spike in suspected overdose deaths — the highest in a year — has public health officials warning against going too far in trying to stop the spread of COVID-19.
Around 30 people are suspected to have died of overdoses in March in Vancouver, according to figures presented to Vancouver city council, and just under 20 died in the first half of April, putting that month on track for another high.
That dwarfs even the number of COVID-19 cases in the Downtown Eastside, with no deaths reported in the area, Dr. Patricia Daly, the chief medical officer of Vancouver Coastal Health, told CTV News in an interview.
"We haven't had many cases, but people continue to die of overdoses. My concern is that people have gone too far in interpreting the public health advice," Daly said.
Visits to supervised injection sites have dropped to a third of what they were before the pandemic, according to VCH figures.
Several SROs, including those operated by the Portland Hotel Society and by Atira Property Management, have posted signs warning against visitors.
"Effective immediately, there is no guests at the Gastown Hotel due to health concerns," one reads.
That's effectively evicted unofficial roommates, making them homeless, and giving one explanation for the surge in tents that can be seen along Hastings Street, said Karen Ward, a contracted drug policy advisor for the City of Vancouver.
"It's horrible. People are suddenly thrown out," she said. "We've seen a huge spike in overdoses because people have nowhere to go. We say don't use alone if you don't have to — well now you have to," she said.
Janice Abbott. the CEO of Atira Property Management, said the move to restrict guests began in mid-March because of concerns about people's health. Many tenants in SROs, including the Colonial Hotel and the Gastown Hotel, have COPD and other conditions that could make them more vulnerable to COVID-19, she said.
"There is a ton of activity in those buildings. They are active buildings. Guests include friends of tenants but also debt collectors and drug dealers. That in combination with the fact that so many of our tenants have chronic underlying conditions, we felt that allowing an infection into the building, most of our tenants would have a severe reaction," she said.
Abbott said she had heard from the tenants that they appreciated the restrictions, and that overdoses reported to her in the building had gone down. She said the guest rule in her building did not prohibit "permanent guests" of tenants. She said she would prefer to keep the restrictions.
Daly said she would like to see those signs come down, and for SRO residents to know they can go outside and use public health facilities.
"We need to balance our message here and make sure people understand the overdose death is their bigger risk in the Downtown Eastside," she said.
Public health officials have been vague when it comes to reporting the exact number of cases in the Downtown Eastside.
Two cases were reported at the Harbour Light Shelter operated by the Salvation Army three weeks ago.
But since then the numbers have not grown as officials tested people in the area at higher rates, and tracked down their close contacts and isolated them.
Right now, only 1.6 per cent of those tested test positive, she said.
And as for exact numbers, doing the math on the published test and positive rates in the area shows there are in the range of 850 tests that have been done, and in the range of 13 confirmed cases.
Daly wouldn't confirm the figures, but did say, "Let's say that if you counted on your fingers and toes we would have enough to count the confirmed cases to date."

The potential pitfalls of divorcing after 50
On behalf of Law Offices of John A. Guthrie | Dec 4, 2017 | High Asset Divorce
Older couples throughout California and the rest of the U.S. are increasingly choosing to split, even as overall divorce rates have been decreasing. It is important for people who are older to understand the potential pitfalls that can come with a "grey divorce."
People who are older than age 50 when they decide to get divorced will have less time to save before they retire. At the same time, they may have to divide the money that they have saved for retirement with their spouses. This means that they might not have enough time to replenish their retirement savings and may consequently be forced to continue working longer. People who divorce after they have already retired may face added issues. Since they are no longer drawing incomes, these spouses may be left with little on which to live during their remaining years.
People who want to get divorced might also want to think about if they will have the necessary emotional support system. Friends tend to pick sides during divorces, meaning that people may have less support after a separation. Divorcees may also feel uncomfortable when socializing with friends who are still married, leading to further isolation.
While there are some pitfalls that might be associated with getting divorced after 50, some situations make divorce the only tenable option. Seniors who are thinking about getting divorced might want to talk to family lawyers for advice about options. If an individual decides to go through with a divorce, the lawyer may advise them of potential tax and other financial consequences. An attorney could ultimately help the client reach a fair settlement agreement.

The Cached Raster function creates a preprocessed cache at the point in the function chain where it's added. It is typically inserted in a function chain preceding the functions that can impede performance due to more computationally intensive processing. These functions can include Convolution, Band Arithmetic, Pansharpen, and Geometric, as well as multiple Arithmetic functions.
This function is only supported when added to the function chain for an item in the mosaic dataset. It is not valid to add this function to the mosaic dataset's function chain or to the function chain on a layer.
You can insert this function when accessing the function chain for each raster in a mosaic dataset using the Raster Functions Batch Editor or the Define Mosaic Dataset Item Cache tool. You can generate the cache for each item when adding the function using the Define Mosaic Dataset Item Cache tool, or you can generate or update the cache using the Synchronize Mosaic Dataset tool with the Build Cache option checked on.
Location in the function chain representing the last function output used in this function. This will be populated automatically.
The location where the cached dataset will be stored. By default, the cache is generated and stored in a folder next to where the mosaic dataset resides. This folder has the same name as the geodatabase, with a .cache extension. However, if the mosaic dataset is created in an enterprise geodatabase, the cache will be created in that geodatabase.
A system-generated name used to identify the cached dataset. This will appear once the function has been added to the function chain. It cannot be edited.
Type of compression, if any, that will be used when generating the cache.
Lossless—Lossless compression retains the value of each pixel when generating the cache dataset.
Lossy—Lossy compression does not retain the exact value of each pixel when generating the cached dataset. When using this method, a compression quality can also be set between 1 and 100 percent.
None—No compression will be used when generating the cached dataset.
Limits the size of the cache dataset by number of pixels, in columns. If the extent of the data cannot fit within this constraint, it will not be generated.
Limits the size of the cache dataset by number of pixels, in rows. If the extent of the data cannot fit within this constraint, it will not be generated.
Allows you to resample the resolution of the cached raster. Resampling your cached raster can make complicated function chains and intensive processes perform faster.
Pixel Size Factor—Allows you to choose a scaling factor to resample the cached raster. The default factor is 1, so that no scaling takes place.
Pixel Size—Allows you to specify the pixel size at which to create the cached raster.
The default value is Pixel Size Factor.
Allows you to specify the pixel size at which to create the cached raster.

Yangtze River city protects water quality with smart tech
Xinhua,December 30, 2020 Adjust font size:
In the city of Jiujiang in east China's Jiangxi Province, real-time monitoring systems are playing a prominent role in protecting the environment, under broader environmental efforts from cities along the Yangzte River.
Jiujiang lies at the junction of Poyang Lake and the Yangtze, China's longest river. The city, which contains two-thirds of the lake's surface area and 152 km of Yangtze riverbank, has poured significant efforts into improving water quality with smart technologies.
"The water quality here has a big influence on downstream cities along the Yangtze River," said He Yanqiang, an official with the Yangtze Ecology and Environment Co., Ltd., adding that sewage disposal is an important aspect of environmental protection.
In 2018, the China Three Gorges Corporation launched a project in Jiujiang to protect the Yangtze River, involving the establishment of a number of sewage disposal plants equipped with real-time monitoring systems.
The city launched a related project to renovate its underground pipe network, aiming to reduce sewage leaks in the area.
"We use closed-circuit television to investigate the network of underground pipes one by one, fixing leaks as they are found," said Kuang Rongfa, deputy director of Jiujiang's city administration bureau.
Jiujiang is now exploring the construction of a smart pipe network that will allow the supervisory department to track water quality throughout the city.
Further improvements are evident in the city's Pengze County, where a real-time monitoring system has been installed at several local enterprises, helping the government supervise eco-friendly industrial production.
Jiangxi Changfeng Industrial Co., Ltd, which runs a quarry in the county, is making use of the system. It can provide real-time data on local environmental factors, including temperature, humidity, PM 2.5, PM 10 and noise.
"The supervision department will receive an alert if any item exceeds the standard," said Yang Heping, deputy general manager of the company.
With sci-tech solutions being implemented along the Yangtze River, cities like Jiujiang can look forward to cleaner water and a healthier environment. Enditem

Giving the dog a bath while the dryer runs doesn't hurt either.
Before you take your dog for a walk, leave a shallow bucket of water and a towel next to the door. When you get back, dip his paws into the water and towel-dry for a paw-print-free home.

This Newsbrief deals with personal ID Chips. More particularly it deals with implantable devices, used for identification when the wearer is unable to communicate. In terms of the Atlas of Technological Megatrends it is concerned with the functionality of information transmission.
In the case of the VeriChip, the energy source is not a traditional battery, but a capacitor that is activated when it receives a beam from the reader. The activation of the energy source triggers a radio signal, which is then interpreted by the reader.
At this stage about 5000 organizations throughout the world make use of this device.
Technology explorers should note the potential for further technological progress leading to a reduction in size of the implant. They should also note the vast potential for linking this device to implantable health care devices - such as implanted prostheses and sensors. [VeriChip Corp. News Release, November 19, 2008 and March 13, 2009]. However, technology explorers should also be aware of the potential for vast social controversy, fueled by the fear that the device may be misused to exert control over wearers.


Ringgold Councilmember Randall Franks received the prestigious Certificate of Excellence from the Harold F. Holtz Municipal Training Institute at the Georgia Municipal Association's (GMA) 83rd Annual Convention in Savannah on June 27.
He was also recognized for completing the annual Robert E. Knox, Jr. Municipal Leadership Institute.
The Georgia Municipal Training Institute, a cooperative effort of GMA and the University of Georgia's Carl Vinson Institute of Government, provides a nationally recognized series of training opportunities for elected city officials. To receive a Certificate of Excellence, a city official must complete a minimum of 120 units of credit, including at least 54 hours from the required list and the Robert E. Knox, Jr. Municipal Leadership Institute. The training program consists of a series of more than 50 courses.
The multi-day Leadership Institute, co-sponsored by GMA and the University of Georgia's Carl Vinson Institute of Government, featured a nationally recognized training development consultant and speaker. Participants also engaged in role-playing exercises designed to cultivate and enhance leadership skills.
"This is an outstanding achievement," said GMA Executive Director Lamar Norton. "We commend Councilmember Franks for this accomplishment and for the dedication he's shown in using this valuable resource to become a more effective city official.
Franks is Ringgold's former vice mayor and currently serves as Downtown Development Authority and Main Street Program Chairman. He was initially elected in 2009 and served Catoosa County and Ringgold as public information officer and volunteer coordinator during the 2011-12 tornado response and recovery efforts. He is former vice chairman of the Ringgold Convention and Visitors Bureau.
Based in Atlanta, GMA is a voluntary, non-profit organization that provides legislative advocacy, research, training, employee benefit and technical consulting services to its over 520 member cities.


Taking a new turn, this ninth commandment that Hermas receives addresses prayer.
Put away doubting from you, and do not hesitate to ask of the Lord, saying to yourself, 'How can I ask of the Lord and receive from Him seeing I have sinned so much against Him?' Do not thus reason with yourself, but with all your heart turn to the Lord and ask of Him without doubting, and you will know the multitude of His tender mercies; that He will never leave you, but fulfill the request of your soul.
Cleanse your hearts from all the vanities of the world, and ask of the Lord and you will receive all. But if you doubt in your heart, you will receive none of your requests.
For those who doubt regarding God are double-souled and obtain not one of their requests. … Cleanse your heart, therefore, from all doubt and put on faith, because it is strong, and trust God that you will obtain from Him all that you ask.
So not only is this book upholding its high view of faith, but it's coupling that with a high view of prayer. I must admit I find myself sceptical of this sort of teaching, even though I've implied the same thing in my own preaching! Prayer is a mysterious thing, and for some reason God has deigned to work pretty awesome marvels through the prayers of his people.
The angel who's giving Hermas these commands, though, still continues. Not only should prayer be made with expectant faith, but it should also be persistent and constant. For as we all know, God's timing is not always as we hope or expect, so we have to wait on him until he comes through. This is so very easy to distort into that "name it and claim it" travesty of a doctrine, that I can't help but suspect that many Christians today won't much like this particular Mandate. But if we can read it understanding faith as being "from God" as Hermas' angel even states, and remember also that prayer offered according to God's will is what God will honor, then this makes perfect sense. If we're in touch with God's will and purposes, then not only will our prayer be answered, but we had better persevere in that prayer until the fruition comes! After all, if God promises something, we'd better believe he'll deliver. It's much the same thing.
You seen then that faith is from above and has great power, but doubt is an earthly spirit and has no power. Serve, then, that which has power, namely faith, and keep away from doubt, and you will live to God.

AT FIRST GLANCE the federal government's proposed changes to the Department of National Defence's soldier suicide prevention program is an offense against common human decency, and it doesn't much inspire confidence that this news arrives from the Minister of National Defence, who has made headlines in recent months for indulging himself needlessly on the public dollar. The principle that Austerity Is Good For Everyone Else is a familiar hypocrisy, and on this foundation we now apprehend Parliamentarians such as Peter MacKay and Bev Oda.
This business of nickel-and-diming those who have served in the armed forces is neither new nor restricted to Canada, but it rankles nonetheless. Mr. MacKay claims that "Canada has become a world leader in fighting the stigmatization and raising awareness of PTSD and other operational stress injuries," but in the meanwhile his department has forced veterans to take legal action and has brought substantial grief to Canada's Veterans Ombudsman Guy Parent, on issues ranging from denied claims for the Agent Orange ex gratia payment to decisions made by the Veterans Review and Appeal Board. Now, despite the Department of National Defence's acknowledged priority of post-deployment PTSD treatment and suicide prevention, the politicians appear to be offering little more than vague platitudes and assurances of commitment.
It's not only bad politics to deny services to disabled and distressed veterans, it's bad policy. As bad policy, the government's ill-considered parsimony undermines the relationship of trust and reciprocity between those who serve and those who are served. As bad politics, this instance of mealy-mouthing and short-changing makes the Harper Government look distant from, and unresponsive to, Canadians of every variety. But these are matters for Canadians themselves to weigh — and, Mr. Harper, you can be certain that they will.

Home builder Standard Pacific, based in Orange County, has announced that CEO Steven Scarborough will be retiring, effectively immediately. The imperiled builder, which reported losses of $767 million last year, will be temporarily led by a member of the board of directors. From the Lansner on Real Estate blog at the Orange County Register:
The longtime chairman and CEO of Standard Pacific Corp. has retired — effective immediately — with a member of the board taking over the reins of the Irvine-based homebuilder in the midst of a housing slump that threatens the survival of many development firms.
Stephen J. Scarborough, the highest paid Orange County executive in 2004, is leaving the company after 27 years. He is being replaced by Jeffrey Peterson, a board member since 2001 and a former managing director at Trust Company of the West and Kidder, Peabody & Co.
In a conference call, Peterson declined to say whether the company is contemplating the filing of bankruptcy or to explain why Scarborough abruptly retired after seven years at the helm...
Although Peterson said the board has ordered management to act with "a sense of urgency," company officials declined to say what, if any, conditions have changed to make such urgency necessary. Management could not have done a better job in addressing the challenges of the housing slump, said company chief financial officer Andy Parnes. But Parnes and Peterson would not say if conditions for Standard Pacific have deteriorated.

And one week later I'm here to report that….the book signing in Atlanta went great!
Isn't it a gorgeous city?
I've been on the road for almost a month now, so many cities are melting together in my mind. But who can forget those green trees, gorgeous homes, and yummy donuts in Atlanta (mmm. Sublime Donuts). Of course I could say the same thing about Charleston, Savannah, Asheville, Southern California….(don't worry, a travel post is coming).
And hanging out at Whipstitch was definitely a highlight of the trip.
If you've never been, I highly recommend it.
Me and Deborah, who owns and runs the shop. She teaches sewing classes too!
Throughout the night, people popped in, we chatted, drank yummy fruit sodas, signed some books, and bought a lot of fabric.
I couldn't stop looking at this Lizzy House quilt on the wall. Really cool.
Some local fabric celebs stopped by which made the night even more fun. Melody Miller who designs Ruby Star Rising and has a new book coming out. And Rashida of I heart Linen who's written a few books as well, and has a new fabric line coming this fall with Cloud 9. These girls are great conversation. I want Rashida's hair.
More blogging friends! Amy from Mod Podge Rocks stopped by (Check out her cool book here). Tiffany from Simply Modern Mom was there. And on the right is new friend Hannah who has a darling southern accent and teaches local sewing classes.
Thanks friends for stopping by! I loved having enough time to really chat and get to know some of you. And a huge thanks to Deborah and her shop for making it all happen.
More signing dates/locations to come!
• Did you watch Project Runway last night? It's on my DVR, needing to be watched.
• If you think I've fallen off the earth, you're almost correct. I've been traveling for 4 weeks and just can't keep up with blogging while I'm out and about. But I drive back to Texas tomorrow. Yee haw! I miss my home.
Loved your Conan photos! Happy travels!
I had SUCH a good time with you–so glad you were able to make time to stop by!! But I bet it's really amazing to get home after all that travel. You must be itching to sleep in your own bed! Thanks again for coming to visit, congrats on getting back home!
Were you really away from the kiddos for the whole month? I'm sure you'll be glad to be home! And they'll all be glad to have you back too.
I was wondering that too! Not the baby I assume though?
I was wondering the same thing. Hmm.
Ooo I made it into a picture!:) so fun to meet you and happy y'all finally get to head home! I've enjoyed following along with your travels on instagram.
Love your outfit and you're right! That quilt is lovely!
Returning home feels oh so good.
Ha! I made a picture as well…although my backside LOL! So nice to meet you and I had a great time and made it out of the store with just a little fabric! Hope you had a wonderful time and a safe trip home!
you look so adorable! love the yellow pants! and too funny, i love the pic of you, tiffany & amy (and the other girl;). 3 of my friends from 3 different states, all in one photo!
Hey, that cute Southern gal is my friend Hannah! 🙂 She really is one sweet, crafty lady. She blogs over at http://www.littlefoxandcompany.com/ and has a super cute Facebook page.
Will you be coming to the midwest anytime soon? Preferably Kansas- near Topeka, Manhattan or Kansas City 🙂 And if so, when?
I hate that I didn't make it to ATL! I would have loved to visit Whipstitch and to meet you. It looked like so much fun!
wow! this sounds so exciting! Looks like you had a really wonderful trip. I love love LOVE ATL. The food is great, the people are super friendly, and it's always just a good time. Love the BBQ too down there.
Congrats on the book signing. And you have all of our support here at Lots of Buttons!
Come to Seattle! It sounds like you've been crazy busy. I'm betting the home time will be bliss (in that messy way that life with little ones is of course). Enjoy!
Your book tour looks like lots of fun!
I just unsubcribed to your emails & came here to find you & also following on Pinterest. Discovered I can't keep up with all my emails, so whittling down the list, but I do like your style so happy to be able to follow elsewhere.

THE FLAVOR OF PUERTO RICO SEDUCES YET ANOTHER CUBAN
By ENRIQUE FERNANDEZ Commentary
South Florida Sun-Sentinel
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — I am a traitor, I confess, even though my confession will make me less popular among my fellow Cuban-Americans than Janet Reno.
I prefer Puerto Rican cuisine to Cuban. There, I said it. Bring on the demonstrators and the flags and the epithets. I have earned my acto de repudio, as we call our wonderful tradition of nationalistic bullying.
I'm having this treacherous thought in San Juan's Aji-Mojili, a restaurant that features the island's native cuisine. Such places were hard to find in the Puerto Rican capital not long ago, for Puerto Ricans harbored the same mistaken notion that is still found in many countries and that was common in the United States before the advent of New American cooking. The belief that down-home food was, well, too down-home, and that the only fare worth serving at white-tablecloth restaurants was "Continental," whatever that meant (usually a misinter-pretation of French cuisine).
If I wanted to indulge my taste buds in Puerto Rican flavors when I visited the island, I had to go to the beaches, where little kiosks turned out wonderfully fresh seafood, or to the countryside for the marvelous suckling pig on a spit. San Juan restaurants offered little of interest (homes were another matter), and sometimes the menus seemed like a throwback to the American '50s.
In the '80s, Puerto Ricans started to catch the nouvelle breezes that were blowing out of California, and the very trendy Amadeus (the name says it all) restaurant in Old San Juan began serving an imaginative fusion of traditional recipes with new tricks. Their fried plantains with caviar became an instant classic at Puerto Rican yuppie parties, and, most significantly, Amadeus was a precursor of the New Caribbean cooking trend that was launched by Miami's Yuca.
The trend has come back home and settled in. At the Ritz Carlton Hotel's dining room, the menu is filled with both new and old Puerto Rican dishes; a traditionalist, I ordered a seafood sancocho that tasted as if it were made by someone's grandma.
At Aji-Mojili the cuisine is more ancienne than nouvelle. If you hate the Puritanism of so-called healthy cooking, this is your place. The appetizers alone list corn fritters, plantain fritters, pumpkin fritters, white yam fritters, ground-meat empanadas, calves' brains dipped in egg batter and Puerto Rican blood sausages. Our party shared a big plate of all of the above, and then I ordered mofongo with chunks of shrimp and spiny lobster. Mofongo is a dish of plantains that are first fried and then mashed with seasonings and pork cracklings and topped with meat or seafood. On the side I had arroz manposteado -- rice and beans cooked together -- I mean, why ruin a perfectly good meal with green vegetables?
The secret of Puerto Rican cuisine and why I find it superior to that of my native island is in the sofrito. Much Hispanic cooking has this base sauce -- sofrito is found in Sephardic recipes as far away as Egypt. Typical ingredients are onion, peppers, garlic and tomatoes, all sautM-ied (which is what sofrito means) in olive oil or pork fat. In Puerto Rico the presence of a mildly piquant little pepper, a leaf called culantro, some sprigs of cilantro and the coloring spice called annato kick up the flavor. They turn a Spanish sauce into something Creole, tantalizingly aromatic.
Bottled sofrito and another base sauce called recaM-mto are found in the Latin section of most local supermarkets. But anything worth eating is worth doing from scratch. And the master text is still Carmen Aboy Valldejuli's Puerto Rican Cookery, a translation of her classic Cocina Criolla, the book Puerto Rican brides were given by their mothers a generation or two ago. Valldejuli is both a purist and a pragmatist, so though her recipes demand dedication she gives it to you step by step, a la Julia Child.
So there you have my confession of faithlessness to my Cuban roots. And I'm not the only one. Many a Cuban left our native country and settled in the smaller, neighboring island, falling under the spell of a culture that is irresistibly seductive. Both figuratively and literally. But that's another story.

I'm a big fan of long tanks, so much swimming room Kuhli Loaches would love your tank. Or if you allow your tank to mature for at least 3 months you could stay with the South American theme and get some Otocinclus. Honey Gourami work as well, there also are yellow honey gourami which are a little brighter in colour.
Those look cool, thanks for the advice.

Corazon Santos Cordero of Ormoc City, Leyte Philippines has entered eternal life on March 25, 2019 from her home in Seaside, California, surrounded by her family. She leaves behind three children Fred (Patricia) and Mario Cordero and Elena (Jerry) Infeld, six grandkids Ricardo (Bernice), Francis and Josephine Lopez, Casey and Justin Cordero and Heather (Brandon) Steffen, seven great grandkids: Amber, Allysa (Brandon), Aleia and Alize (Eric) Lopez, Katie, Dominic and Khole Steffen and three great-great grandkids: Nico, Bradley and Elliana. She has joined her husband Prudencio Cordero, daughter, Lety and son, Wally along with her granddaughter, Prudence Cordero and grandson, Johnny Lopez in heaven.
Corazon resided in Seaside for 56 years. Like many military families, she loved the area. She and her husband Prudencio would often drive by the beach on their way home from work. She would often speak of how the beauty of the Pacific Grove coast reminded her of her home in the Philippines.
She was gregarious and outgoing. She loved people, and she really loved her family. She was blessed with 4 generations of kids and was often surrounded by many of them. She was the center of love and family. "Grandma" will always remain in our hearts.
The family extends deepest thanks to the medical staff at CHOMPS for their exceptional and compassionate care of Corazon during her life. Remembrances, in Corazon's name, may be sent to the Montage Health Foundation (the charity for CHOMPS).
Services were held at St. Francis Xavier Parish and taken to her final resting place at Mission Memorial Park in Seaside, California on March 29, 2019.

Best for Convenience: Citizens
By lauragoldstein2014
Branches: 1,228 in 11 states
Why it's a winner: Because Citizens makes it easy to find help. The bank has representatives available by phone at all times and by instant messaging 55 hours a week. Citizens has a robust physical presence, with more than 1,200 locations and almost 3,200 ATMs. Branches are open up to 56 hours a week including weekend hours—putting Citizens in the upper tier on that benchmark. Additionally, Citizens scored well with its customers in the most recent American Banker/Reputation survey.
Caveats: This bank isn't great for interest seekers—the highest-paying savings account offers only 0.03% on $10,000.

CHICAGO (AP) - Medical student Alejandra Duran Arreola dreams of becoming an OB-GYN in her home state of Georgia, where there's a shortage of doctors and one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the U.S.
But the 26-year-old Mexican immigrant's goal is now trapped in the debate over a program protecting hundreds of thousands of immigrants like her from deportation. Whether she becomes a doctor depends on whether Congress finds an alternative to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program that President Donald Trump phased out in September.
Arreola, who was brought to the U.S. illegally at age 14, is among about 100 medical students nationwide who are enrolled in DACA, and many have become a powerful voice in the immigration debate. Their stories have resonated with leaders in Washington. Having excelled in school and gained admission into competitive medical schools, they're on the verge of starting residencies to treat patients, a move experts say could help address the nation's worsening doctor shortage.
"It's mostly a tragedy of wasted talent and resources," said Mark Kuczewski, who leads the medical education department at Loyola University's medical school, where Arreola is in her second year. "Our country will have said, 'You cannot go treat patients.'"
The Chicago-area medical school was the first to openly accept DACA students and has the largest concentration nationwide at 32. California and New York also have significant populations, according to the Association of American Medical Colleges.
DACA gives protection to about 800,000 immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children and who otherwise would lack legal permission to be in the country. The immigrants must meet strict criteria to receive two-year permits that shield them from deportation and allow them to work.
Then-President Barack Obama created DACA in 2012. Critics call it an illegal amnesty program that is taking jobs from U.S. citizens. In rescinding it in September, Trump gave lawmakers until March to come up with a replacement.
Public support for DACA is wide. A recent poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research showed that just 1 in 5 Americans want to deport DACA recipients.
Medical students such as Arreola are trying to shape the debate, and they have the backing of influential medical groups, including the American Medical Association.
Arreola took a break from her studies in September to travel to Washington with fellow Loyola medical student and DACA recipient Cesar Montolongo Hernandez to talk to stakeholders. In their meetings with lawmakers, they framed the program as a medical necessity but also want a solution for others with DACA.

Superhero Movie
Superhero (Gary Barlow song)
Kungfu (restaurant)
In modern popular fiction, a superhero (sometimes rendered super-hero or super hero) is a type of heroic character possessing extraordinary talents, supernatural phenomena, or superhuman powers and is dedicated to a moral goal or protecting the public. A female superhero is sometimes called a superheroine (also rendered super-heroine or super heroine). Fiction centered on such characters, especially in American comic books since the 1930s, is known as superhero fiction.
By most definitions, characters do not require actual supernatural or superhuman powers or phenomena to be deemed superheroes. While the Dictionary.com definition of "superhero" is "A figure, especially in a comic strip or cartoon, endowed with superhuman powers and usually portrayed as fighting evil or crime," the longstanding Merriam-Webster dictionary gives the definition as "a fictional hero having extraordinary or superhuman powers; also : an exceptionally skillful or successful person". Terms such as masked crime fighters, costumed adventurers or masked vigilantes are sometimes used to refer to characters such as the Spirit, who may not be explicitly referred to as superheroes but nevertheless share similar traits.

Superhero Movie is a 2008 American comedy spoof film written and directed by Craig Mazin, produced by David Zucker and Robert K. Weiss, and starring Drake Bell, Sara Paxton, Christopher McDonald, and Leslie Nielsen. It was originally titled Superhero! as a nod to one of David and Jerry Zucker's previous films Airplane!.
Superhero Movie is a spoof of the superhero film genre, mainly the first Spider-Man, as well as other modern-day Marvel Comics film adaptations. The film follows in the footsteps of the Scary Movie series of comedies, with which the film's poster shares a resemblance. It was also inspired by, and contains homages to, some of Zucker, Abrahams and Zucker's earlier spoof films such as Airplane! and The Naked Gun.
Production began on September 17, 2007, in New York. It was released on March 28, 2008 in the United States, and the UK release was June 6, 2008, and received $9,000,000 on its opening weekend and was #3 at the box office.
Rick Riker (Drake Bell) is an unpopular student at Empire High School. He lives with his Uncle Albert (Leslie Nielsen) and Aunt Lucille (Marion Ross), and his best friend, Trey (Kevin Hart), is also his confident. Rick has a crush on Jill Johnson (Sara Paxton), but she is dating bully Lance Landers (Ryan Hansen). One day, Rick and his class go on a school field trip at an animal research lab that is run by terminally ill businessman Lou Landers (Christopher McDonald), who is Lance's uncle. During the trip, Rick accidentally saturates himself in animal-attraction liquid, which causes a group of animals to hump him. This also leads a chemically enhanced radioactive dragonfly to fly onto Rick's neck and bite him.

"Superhero" is the second American single released from the American version of British singer-songwriter Gary Barlow's debut solo album, Open Road. It was released on February 17, 1998, six weeks after the release of the album in America.
Whilst reworking Open Road for the American market, Barlow met with songwriters Kristian Lundin, Max Martin and Jolyon Skinner, and whilst recording alternate vocals for So Help Me Girl, wrote an entirely brand-new track, Superhero, exclusively for the American market. Barlow described the song as "Something designed to be suited to the kind of pop music in the American charts now, such as that of *NSYNC or the Backstreet Boys." The song was not as successful as his first American single, only peaking at #23 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary Chart, and not even charting on the Billboard Hot 100.
Reworking
During recording sessions for his second British album, Twelve Months, Eleven Days, Barlow decided that he would re-work the song and release in the United Kingdom. He made three minor changes, which included changing two lines in the chorus, enhancing the beat from 68bpm to 72bpm, and renaming the song For All That You Want. It was subsequently included as the first track on Twelve Months, Eleven Days, and was released as the second British single from the album, becoming the last single Barlow released in the United Kingdom until the Robbie Williams-duet Shame in 2010.

Chinese martial arts, often labeled under the umbrella terms Kung Fu (/ˈkʊŋ ˈfuː/; Chinese: 功夫; pinyin: gong fu) and Wushu (武术), are the several hundreds of fighting styles that have developed over the centuries in China. These fighting styles are often classified according to common traits, identified as "families" (家; jiā), "sects" (派; pài) or "schools" (門; mén) of martial arts. Examples of such traits include Shaolinquan (少林拳) physical exercises involving Five Animals (五形) mimicry, or training methods inspired by Chinese philosophies, religions and legends. Styles that focus on qi manipulation are called internal (内家拳; nèijiāquán), while others that concentrate on improving muscle and cardiovascular fitness are called "external" (外家拳; wàijiāquán). Geographical association, as in northern (北拳; běiquán) and "southern" (南拳; nánquán), is another popular classification method.
Kung fu and wushu are loanwords from Chinese that, in English, are used to refer to Chinese martial arts. However, the Chinese terms kung fu and wushu ( listen (Mandarin) ; Cantonese: móuh-seuht) have distinct meanings. The Chinese equivalent of the term "Chinese martial arts" would be Zhongguo wushu (Chinese: 中國武術; pinyin: zhōngguó wǔshù) (Mandarin).

Sustainable agriculture: In this focus sector, the Foundation aims to participate in addressing the environmental, social and economic challenges involved in a sustainable agriculture that focuses on the needs of the world's poorest populations. The projects fund are in areas where the environment is most degraded or under greatest threat, and where local populations are most at risk.
Sustainable fishing: In this focus sector, the Foundation funds sustainable fishing projects that closely link protection of fish stocks and conservation of ecosystems with protection of marine species and the well-being of local populations. The actions undertaken help the beneficiary families and future generations to ensure their own food security and to find new local income-generating activities.
Biodiversity conservation: In this focus sector, the Foundation funds terrestrial and marine biodiversity conservation projects (fauna and flora) that bring sustainable social, economic and environmental benefits, particularly for the poorest communities and that contribute to protecting threatened species.
Sustainable Technologies: In this focus sector, the Foundation provides particular support for the development of innovative technologies that the very poor can afford, and which improve their access to energy, to decent living conditions and to more environmentally-friendly means of production. Innovative technologies based on a sustainable development model can generate microenterprises within communities.
The project activities are undertaken in one of the Foundation's six focus countries: Ecuador, Peru, Mozambique, Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar.
Marine Fish Sustainability: Research that contributes to the ability to create sustainable populations of marine fishes through aquaculture, with great emphasis on the most popular marine fishes in home hobbyist and commercial aquariums. Research can focus on fish lifecycles, nutrition, reproduction and aquaculture techniques.

Programs can include training and support to provide alternatives to poaching, livestock farming, or logging.
Marine macroalgae are plant-like organisms with simple internal structures that generally live in coastal areas. They mainly include different communities of red, brown and green macroalgae. Marine macroalgae commonly occupy intertidal and sublittoral-to-littoral zones on rocks and other hard substrata. They are considered to be an excellent natural biosource in different aspects of agricultural fields. They have great proficiency in improving soil physical and chemical properties. Marine macroalgae are also characterized by producing a large array of biologically active biocidal substances against plant-infecting pathogens. Unfortunately, most available literatures on marine macroalgae and their derivatives mainly focused on their pharmaceutical applications but their potential utilization in sustainable agriculture development is still often regarded as a secondary goal. However, a relatively considerable dataset on marine macroalgae showed that they could play a major role in plant protection and improvement. This review summarizes different aspects of potential macroalgal applications in agriculture. Commercial production and exploitation of specific compounds with interesting biotechnological importance from marine macroalgae including microbicides, nematicides, insecticides, biofertilizers, biostimulators and soil conditioners are highlighted and discussed in detail. Bioactive compounds like fatty acids (in particular polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), proteins (amino acids), bioflavonoids, sulfated polysaccharides, carotenoids, polyphenols and carbohydrates are considered to have bactericidal, antiviral and fungicidal effects against some plant-infecting pathogens. These biocontrol agents provide multiple benefits and act as useful pointers for improving cultivation practices in diverse habitats. Marine macroalgae can be generally considered as promising multifunctional bioinoculants and ecofriendly environmental tools in recent trends of organic farming.
With the modern farming industry continuing to evolve, and demand for faster, more efficient farmland mapping at an all-time high, the potential for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in the agriculture industry is greater than ever. While more investment in R&D programmes is required, collaborative partnerships between hardware and software providers are enabling the creation of more integrated, end-to-end drone solutions, capable of meeting the needs of agriculture professionals worldwide and influencing future developments in modern farming.
The current dependence of the GCC countries on fossil oil and gas is unwise in terms of economic and environmental sustainability. GCC countries must consider the use of renewable energy to cope with price fluctuations of oil and gas in the global market and to lower the emission of green house gases. The demand for food and water in the GCC countriesis increasing due to high growth rate of population. Given the weather conditions and available amounts of natural water resources, the demand on food and water cannot be met unless alternative sources of water are considered. Several studies pointed out that the desalination technology is probably the only option for producing ample amounts of water for food production in arid environments. This work explores the potential of use of desalination technology for producing irrigation water in GCC countries, with special emphasis on experience of the Sultanate of Oman compared with that of Spain. Desalination can always provide a tailored-quality irrigation water at any climatic conditions. The main challenge for considering desalination for agriculture is purely economic; where GCC countries could consider it only if intensive horticulture of high-value cash crops, such as vegetables and flowers in controlled environments, is considered. Disposal of brine water is also a challenge and must be done at an additional cost. Depending on the quality of desalinated water, several studies showed that solar-operated desalination technologies are in a mature stage and economically viable. Therefore, solar energy can make the desalination technology an attractive option to sustain agriculture and food supply in GCC countries.
We present the results of our eighth annual horizon scan of emerging issues likely to affect global biological diversity, the environment, and conservation efforts in the future.

Samsung goes camera crazy with the Galaxy A9 and A7
By Chong Jinn Xiung October 12, 2018
Samsung's two latest Galaxy A series targets mid-range segment
The Galaxy A9 is Samsung's first camera with four cameras
The Samsung Galaxy A9 (left) and A7 (right) were launched in Kuala Lumpur recently
Samsung is making a bid for the crowded mid-range segment with two new models: the Galaxy A9 and A7. To help it stand out from the crowd, Samsung has opted to include not two but up to four cameras on the models.
Yes, you read that right. The Galaxy A9 is the first quad camera array to be featured on a smartphone while the Galaxy A7 has a triple cameras on the back. The two models were featured at a glitzy Unpacked event, almost equivalent to those overseas, in Kuala Lumpur.
Coming back to the phone, the Samsung Galaxy A9 featuring a sleek and ergonomic design with a 3D Glass curved back that is comfortable to hold. The model comes in three distinct colours: black, blue and pink. Both the blue and pink variants have a shiny metal sheen to it that almost 'morphs' when you view it from different angles.
Rumours have been rife that the new Galaxy A9 would have not three but four cameras on the back. They consist of a 8-Megapixel 120-degree wide angle lens, 10-Megapixel telephoto with 2x optical zoom, a 24-Megapixel main lens and a 5-Megapixel depth camera.
Regardless if you are a professional or beginner, the Galaxy A9's AI Scene Recognition feature helps you grab the shot you need. Just like other AI modes, this one is able to identify subjects and adjust the settings accordingly to the situation.
The Galaxy A9 features a 6.3-inch Super AMOLED display with a Full HD+ (2,220 x 1,080) resolution.
Specs-wise the Galaxy A9 is powered by an octa core (2.2Ghz Quad + 1.8Ghz Quad) processor that is complemented by 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. The phone still retains a microSD card slot that allows users to expand up to a 512GB card.
Don't worry about running out of juice half way through the day as the Galaxy A9 comes with a large 3,800mAh battery that also supports fast charging.
According to Samsung, the Galaxy A9 will be available in Malaysia come November however no official price has been announced.
The second phone unveiled by Samsung was the Galaxy A9's smaller cousin, the Galaxy A7. Take note that this the 2018 edition as Samsung had previously two identically named models back in 2016 and 2015.
The triple camera equipped smartphone array on the back consists of a 24-Megapixel (f/1.7) together with 8-Megapixel (f/2.4) and 5-Megapixel (f/2.2). It also has a 24-Megapixel shooter on the front for selfies.
Just like the Galaxy A9, the Galaxy A7 phone comes with a large 6-inch Super AMOLED display with a Full HD+ resolution.
It will come powered by a 2.2Ghz octa core processor with 4Gb of RAM and 64GB of internal storage that can be expanded up to 512GB with a microSD card. Battery-wise it has a smaller 3,300mAh battery.
The Galaxy A7 will also come in three colours: blue, black and gold.
Both the Galaxy A7 and A9 will run on Android 8.1. The both will come with the usual assortment of Samsung features including its Bixby virtual assistant, Samsung Pay and Samsung Health.
The Galaxy A7 is available now at RM1,299 though the Galaxy A9 will only be available come Nov 2018. Samsung has not announced the price for the Galaxy A9.
