US Helicopter Carrying Weapons To ISIS Shot Down By Iraq's 'Popular Forces'
March 1, 2015 Niamh Harris Middle East, News, US 2
The Iraqi Army have again claimed that they have downed aircraft from the US led coalition that was providing military assistance to ISIS.
According to a report by the Iranian Fars News Agency (see below) a US helicopter carrying arms to ISIS was shot down on Thursday.
A few days earlier on Monday it was also reported that the Iraqi army had downed two British planes delivering weapons to ISIS
Report by Fars News Agency:
The Iraqi popular forces who shot down a US helicopter carrying weapons for the ISIL forces in Al-Baqdadi region released the photos of the shot down chopper through the Internet.
A group of Iraqi popular forces known as Al-Hashad Al-Shabi shot down the US Army helicopter that was carrying weapons for the ISIL in the western parts of Al-Baqdadi region in Al-Anbar province on Thursday.
Last week, Head of the Iraqi Parliament's National Security and Defense Committee Hakem al-Zameli announced that the helicopters of the US-led anti-ISIL coalition were dropping weapons and foodstuff for the ISIL terrorists in the Southern parts of Tikrit.
He underscored that he had documents and photos showing that the US Apache helicopters airdropped foodstuff and weapons for the ISIL.
On Friday the Iraqi security forces regained control of al-Baghdadi district from the ISIL terrorists.
"Iraqi security forces seized control of al-Shohadaa neighborhood and 13 Daesh (ISIL) militants were killed in the clashes," Lt. Saoud al-Ibeidi said.
Iraqi forces on February 18 managed to end ISIL's 10-day siege of al-Baghdadi district's residential area and killed about 150 terrorists, according to police sources.
Last Monday, a senior lawmaker disclosed that Iraq's army had shot down two British planes as they were carrying weapons for the ISIL terrorists in Al-Anbar province.
"The Iraqi Parliament's National Security and Defense Committee has access to the photos of both planes that are British and have crashed while they were carrying weapons for the ISIL," al-Zameli said, according to a Monday report of the Arabic-language information center of the Islamic Supreme Council of Iraq.
He said the Iraqi parliament has asked London for explanations in this regard.
The senior Iraqi legislator further unveiled that the government in Baghdad is receiving daily reports from people and security forces in al-Anbar province on numerous flights by the US-led coalition planes that airdrop weapons and supplies for ISIL in terrorist-held areas.
The Iraqi lawmaker further noted the cause of such western aids to the terrorist group, and explained that the US prefers a chaotic situation in Anbar Province which is near the cities of Karbala and Baghdad as it does not want the ISIL crisis to come to an end.
Earlier today, a senior Iraqi provincial official lashed out at the western countries and their regional allies for supporting Takfiri terrorists in Iraq, revealing that US and Israeli-made weapons have been discovered from the areas purged of ISIL terrorists.
"We have discovered weapons made in the US, European countries and Israel from the areas liberated from ISIL's control in Al-Baqdadi region," the Al-Ahad news website quoted Head of Al-Anbar Provincial Council Khalaf Tarmouz as saying.
He noted that the weapons made by the European countries and Israel were discovered from the terrorists in the Eastern parts of the city of Ramadi.
Al-Zameli had also disclosed in January that the anti-ISIL coalition's planes have dropped weapons and foodstuff for the ISIL in Salahuddin, Al-Anbar and Diyala provinces.
Al-Zameli underlined that the coalition is the main cause of ISIL's survival in Iraq.
"There are proofs and evidence for the US-led coalition's military aid to ISIL terrorists through air(dropped cargoes)," he told FNA in January.
He noted that the members of his committee have already proved that the US planes have dropped advanced weaponry, including anti-aircraft weapons, for the ISIL, and that it has set up an investigation committee to probe into the matter.
"The US drops weapons for the ISIL on the excuse of not knowing about the whereabouts of the ISIL positions and it is trying to distort the reality with its allegations.
He noted that the committee had collected the data and the evidence provided by eyewitnesses, including Iraqi army officers and the popular forces, and said, "These documents are given to the investigation committee … and the necessary measures will be taken to protect the Iraqi airspace."
Also in January, another senior Iraqi legislator reiterated that the US-led coalition is the main cause of ISIL's survival in Iraq.
"The international coalition is only an excuse for protecting the ISIL and helping the terrorist group with equipment and weapons," Jome Divan, who is member of the al-Sadr bloc in the Iraqi parliament, said.
He said the coalition's support for the ISIL is now evident to everyone, and continued, "The coalition has not targeted ISIL's main positions in Iraq."
In late December, Iraqi Parliamentary Security and Defense Commission MP disclosed that a US plane supplied the ISIL terrorist organization with arms and ammunition in Salahuddin province.
MP Majid al-Gharawi stated that the available information pointed out that US planes are supplying ISIL organization, not only in Salahuddin province, but also other provinces, Iraq TradeLink reported.
He added that the US and the international coalition are "not serious in fighting against the ISIL organization, because they have the technological power to determine the presence of ISIL gunmen and destroy them in one month".
Gharawi added that "the US is trying to expand the time of the war against the ISIL to get guarantees from the Iraqi government to have its bases in Mosul and Anbar provinces."
Salahuddin security commission also disclosed that "unknown planes threw arms and ammunition to the ISIL gunmen Southeast of Tikrit city".
Also in Late December, a senior Iraqi lawmaker raised doubts about the seriousness of the anti-ISIL coalition led by the US, and said that the terrorist group still received aids dropped by unidentified aircraft.
"The international coalition is not serious about air strikes on ISIL terrorists and is even seeking to take out the popular (voluntary) forces from the battlefield against the Takfiris so that the problem with ISIL remains unsolved in the near future," Nahlah al-Hababi told FNA.
"The ISIL terrorists are still receiving aids from unidentified fighter jets in Iraq and Syria," she added.
Hababi said that the coalition's precise airstrikes are launched only in those areas where the Kurdish Pishmarga forces are present, while military strikes in other regions are not so much precise.
In late December, the US-led coalition dropped aids to the Takfiri militants in an area North of Baghdad.
Field sources in Iraq told al-Manar that the international coalition airplanes dropped aids to the terrorist militants in Balad, an area which lies in Salahuddin province North of Baghdad.
In October, a high-ranking Iranian commander also slammed the US for providing aid supplies to ISIL, adding that the US claims that the weapons were mistakenly airdropped to ISIL were untrue.
"The US and the so-called anti-ISIL coalition claim that they have launched a campaign against this terrorist and criminal group – while supplying them with weapons, food and medicine in Jalawla region (a town in Diyala Governorate, Iraq). This explicitly displays the falsity of the coalition's and the US' claims," Deputy Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Brigadier General Massoud Jazayeri said.
The US claimed that it had airdropped weapons and medical aid to Kurdish fighters confronting the ISIL in Kobani, near the Turkish border in Northern Syria.
The US Defense Department said that it had airdropped 28 bundles of weapons and supplies, but one of them did not make it into the hands of the Kurdish fighters.
Video footage later showed that some of the weapons that the US airdropped were taken by ISIL militants.
The Iranian commander insisted that the US had the necessary intelligence about ISIL's deployment in the region and that their claims to have mistakenly airdropped weapons to them are as unlikely as they are untrue.

A sentence for a repost

The thaw that never came
How RuNet users end up behind bars
– And we seem to be fighting it but the results are negligible. And results in this case mean jail. So where are the imprisonments?
Vladimir Putin at a meeting of the Presidium of the Government on smuggling
Our subsequent summary report published in February 2015 indicates a sharp increase in the number of sentences for online activity: at least 18 people were sentenced to between several months and 5 years in prison, and three more individuals were put under compulsory medical treatment. We suggested that this was only the beginning, and that prison sentences for reposts and "likes" would only be an expanding practice.
This is indeed what happened: our monitoring of the restrictions imposed on the freedom of Internet use in Russia last year revealed as many as 29 prison sentences and 3 cases of compulsory treatment in a mental hospital.
Igor Stenin, the leader of the informal "The Russians of Astrakhan" movement, posted a comment on the VKontakte social network in support of Ukraine and was sentenced to 2 years of imprisonment for making public calls to extremist activity. His case file includes a repost of a short article about the situation in eastern Ukraine, written by a participant of the Anti-Terrorist Operation (ATO), which was posted as a comment by another VK user. The technical progress is evident: in the past, agents used to slip drugs or bullets into detainees' belongings, whereas now they slip commentaries and screenshots.
Yevgeny Kort, a resident of Zelenograd, who shared a collage depicting previously-convicted neo-Nazi Maxim Martsinkevich and "a man dressed like Alexander Pushkin", could have ended up in a penal settlement for a year based on the decision of a court of first instance, had it not been for an appeal in a Moscow city court which decided to replace his prison term with a fine of 200,000 rubles.
The criminal case of Yevgeniya Chudnovets, who worked in a kindergarten in the small town of Katuysk, in the Kurgan Oblast, attracted wide publicity when holiday camp workers there were accused of sexually abusing a 9-year-old in the summer of 2016.
The situation caught the eye of the authorities after a 3-second-long video was published in Chudnovets' closed VKontakte group. The video showed a child with his pants down. Chudnovets had come across the video on the page of an acquaintance of hers and reposted it within her own group in order to express her indignation at what was happening at the holiday camp. Subsequently, Chudnovets gave detailed testimony about the camp's workers, and thought the story was over. However, a police officer who had accessed the VKontakte closed group using an alias had saved screenshots of the page and kept them for half a year. When the time was ripe, he dug out the screenshots and wrote a report. Based on this, a case was brought against Chudnovets on the distribution of child pornography. She was convicted and sent to a penal colony for 6 months. It is noteworthy that the person who had filmed the allegedly pornographic video and uploaded it to the Internet was a witness in the case, and even took the floor at Chudnovets' trial.
This story of a young mother (Chudnovets has a three-year-old-son) sentenced for trying to draw attention to what was going on at the holiday camp stirred up society. During her imprisonment, she was put in solitary confinement for writing a line from a nursery rhyme on the wall of the prison yard. The overall expectation was that Chudnovets would be released on appeal after even the prosecutor's office called the verdict unfair and cruel. Eventually, the regional court reduced her sentence to one month.
Then there was Alexey Kungurov, a Tyumen blogger who was sentenced to 2 years for "public justification of terrorism". He had published a post entitled "Who are Putin's falcons actually bombing?" which criticized the actions of the Russian air force in Syria, and discussed ISIS-related issues.
In contrast, another well-known blogger, Anton Nosik, expressed outright support for this military operation. Nosik wrote "Vladimir Vladimirovich, wipe Syria off the face of the earth (…) don't be shy, use blanket air strikes, be my guest". And despite clearly blatant trolling by the authorities, Nosik was accused of inciting inter-ethnic hatred and fined 300,000 rubles.
After Russia joined the Syrian military conflict in September 2015 on the side of Bashar al-Assad, the number of criminal cases on grounds of calls to terrorism or justification of terrorism increased. The relevant article (205.2) was included in the Criminal Code back in 2006. However, it was rarely applied in those days, at least as regards the Internet (for example, 12 sentences were passed in 2012 and as many as 34 in 2015). In 2016, we were able to track 7 criminal cases (of a larger number) on grounds of justification of terrorism on the Internet. In 5 of these, including the case of Kungurov, the accused were indeed sentenced and in 4 cases received from 2 to 5 years.
Against this backdrop, the case of Ramil Ibragimov, a youth activist from Tatarstan, particularly stands out. Ibragimov became emotional in his praise of the killing of patrons at a gay nightclub in Orlando, June 2016, by "a straight Afghan fella", and regretted that there were too few victims. Ibragimov, the head of the pro-governmental Union of Young Innovation Leaders, got away with a fine of 50,000 rubles and was not even included on the list of terrorists and extremists whose bank accounts are frozen and all financial operations blocked by Rosfinmonitoring (the Federal Financial Monitoring Service of the Russian Federation), as usually happens in such cases.
The latest addition to the Criminal Code – Article 280.1 (calls for the violation of the territorial integrity of the Russian Federation) was introduced on May 9, 2014, on Victory Day just a few weeks after the "return" of Crimea to the Russian Federation. Of 15 known cases pending at the moment, 8 had to do precisely with Crimea, Siberia and the Urals, unified Mongolia, Chechnya, the Komi Republic, Kuban and the Kaliningrad Oblast.
The article was amended shortly after its entry into force: the maximum sentence was extended from three to four years, which meant that such offences were classified as crimes of medium gravity. This means that the statute of limitation was extended, that the accused can be detained before trial and that deprivation of liberty is more willingly administered.
For instance, Tatar nationalist Rafis Kashapov, currently serving 3 years for writing several articles on solidarity with the Crimean Tatars, was found guilty on charges that materials published by him formed "a negative attitude to the actions of the Russian Federation in Crimea in 2014… by stating that the "occupation" of Crimea and the violation of the norms of international law constituted an aggressive policy". This did not prevent the court from sentencing Kashapov, an elderly man, to long-term imprisonment.
Activist Darya Poluydova from Kuban and Andrey Bubeev, an engineer-electrician from Tver, are still serving their sentences in penal colonies. All in all, 6 people have been convicted based on Art. 280.1. One of these – Chelyabinsk activist Alexey Moroshkin, accused of intention to create the Ural Republic – ended up in a mental hospital.
On the one hand, the ongoing practice of depriving those convicted of their freedom in previous years gave law enforcement agencies a very convincing argument in "bargaining" with the accused, while persuading them to plead guilty or refrain from the appeal. On the other hand, officers received a clear message: "Yes, we can!" Yes, you can send people to a penal colony for years for reposting a demotivational poster or a joke, and the verdict will not be repealed upon appeal. You can add bloggers critical of the annexation of Crimea to terrorist lists even before the case is referred to the courts. Journalists investigating corruption cases can be kept in pre-trial detention facilities for years.
So far, every jail sentence of the kind has caused shock. However, public attitude is prone to change. Fatigue, apathy and acceptance develop.
When musician Savva Terentyev, from the city of Syktyvkar, received a year in suspension for a commentary on LiveJournal in which he proposed "to burn the infidel cops in the square" in 2008, his case seemed to be a bad dream. In those days, RuNet used to be one of the freest and safest places on earth – or so it seemed at the time.
But a few years have passed since then, and sanctions against extremist activities on the Internet have become tougher, under the pretext of combating terrorism. Requirements for proof of guilt have become weaker, while the number of criminal cases for statements made on the web has grown exponentially.
Once upon a time, an acquittal in a political case seemed quite a real and attainable result of professional work by a competent defense lawyer. A few years ago, punishment other than the deprivation of liberty was analogous to an acquittal. But now, lawyers known to AGORA confess that they have to fight for short sentences at most, for a penal colony instead of a regular prison, or for additional punishments not to be added as "supplements" to the sentence. The latest trend is to "follow" political prisoners in a penal colony, regularly placing them in solitary confinement or punishment cells, and applying strict conditions on their detention, etc. Moreover, changes in their conditions can be made with transfers from regular penal colonies to those with much stricter regimes. This is what happened, for example, to Andrey Bubeev and Igor Stenin.
The practice of criminal prosecution for the incitement of hatred against social groups such as "representatives of the authorities" and "police officers", etc., has also recently been resumed. Similarly to the late 2000s, any criticism of the authorities today is once again perceived as incitement of social enmity, and can provoke the respective reaction. The only difference lies in the fact that the level of strictness of the system is far more advanced, and that the prospects of ending up behind bars are very real.
The leader of the Tatar Patriotic Front "Altyn Urda" is currently being tried in Tatarstan. Danis Safargali is accused of extremism for posting about the "negative characteristics of social groups such as the President of the Russian Federation, the authorities of the Russian Federation and the media".
Yevgeny Domozhirov, a Vologda opposition activist representing the "Party of Progress", is charged with dishonoring the "police officers" social group. After the police searched his house and beat his mother up, a criminal case was brought against her for insulting the police officers. Domozhirov then published a huge post on his site asking a rhetorical question: "What next, respectable gentlemen-policemen, prosecutors and other law enforcement staff turning into fascist policemen? Are you going to go any further down the drain? Maybe the arrests of children, deportations or executions with no right of appeal will come next?"
An investigation into a criminal case against Alexander Gozenko, a resident of Saratov was completed last week. He has been charged with incitement of hatred and dishonoring social groups such as "The Patriots of Russia" and "Vatniki" (i.e. Russian jingoists). The proposal to "arrange the Holocaust of the Vatniki" was qualified by the investigation as a call to violence. It turns out that the list of vulnerable groups in need of special protection includes patriotically-minded citizens along with the president, policemen and other representatives of the authorities.
It is beyond doubt that the number of criminal cases against Internet users will continue to rise in the near future, together with the increasing toughness of the sentences. This will happen against the backdrop of the Russian authorities' desire to isolate RuNet from the global web, which is currently manifested by the blocking of thousands of websites, amongst other measures.

2021 Abarth 1000 SP Concept
The 1960s Abarth 1000 SP inspires an evocative one-off
Abarth 1000 SP: a name that still makes the hearts of fans of the Scorpion brand miss a beat.
Designed in 1966 by the Milan engineer Mario Colucci, the Abarth 1000 Sport Prototipo was a lightweight and powerful spider. Only a limited number of units were built, and would come in victorious all over Europe, helping to spread the brand's fame.
Reinterpreting the forms of the 1000 SP, in 2009 the Centro Stile launches the idea of producing a sports car with essential yet eye-catching lines.
In 2021, exactly 55 years after the debut of the historic model, the project was redeveloped and refined: The Abarth 1000 SP is reborn as a one-off with bold lines, yet in line with its forerunner.
In the latter half of the 1950s, Alfa Romeo and Abarth worked in tandem to produce a sports car with a limited displacement. Entrusted to Mario Colucci – a Milan engineer and Alfa Romeo employee, the project came to fruition in 1958 with the manufacturing of an Abarth 1000-based Alfa Romeo, a compact coupé – driven by an engine based on the 4-cylinder Sprint Veloce, but with a lower displacement – and characterized by a chassis consisting of a lattice of pipes. "Dressed up" in bodywork made by Bertone to a design by Franco Scaglione, the car remains a unique piece.
At the end of this collaboration, Carlo Abarth hired Colucci as Technical Director, then in 1966 entrusted him with the ambitious project of the Abarth 1000 SP. The car's name indicates the engine displacement – derived from that of the Fiat 600 – and the Sport Prototipo class, the type of closed-wheel cars produced specifically to take part in competitions and constructed in limited editions. Designed to excel in both short hillclimbs and endurance races, the 1000 SP features simple, low and sleek lines. Lightweight and powerful, it won a major series of international victories – the first of which in its class at the Nürburgring 500 km in September 1966, helping to consolidate the sporting prestige of the Abarth brand. The skilled engineer Colucci thus completed his concept of a tubular chassis racing car, which had begun a few years earlier with the Alfa Romeo Abarth 1000.
Rightly considered a milestone in Abarth's competitive history, in terms of style, performance and victories, the 1000 SP continues to inspire the designers at the Centro Stile Fiat & Abarth. They have now produced a contemporary reinterpretation of the iconic 1960s Sport Prototipo: a medium-sized sports car, with an eye-catching silhouette and essential lines. This idea of a lightweight car with an excellent weight-to-power ratio became the basis of a project that became reality in 2021, fully in line with its forerunner: the points and lines of the original car's design were respected to ensure continuity between the '60s sports car and the concept car of the new millennium.
The Abarth 1000 SP respects three fundamental design principles already seen in the '60s model. First and foremost, the lightness of its forms, its volumes and of course its weight.
The second principle is aerodynamics: modern design technologies have made it possible to combine the iconic lines of the 1000 SP with an aerodynamic coefficient worthy of a contemporary sports car.
Finally, ergonomics, aimed at improving the user experience, to optimize the vehicle's control and agile driveability.
The Abarth 1000 SP echoes the lines and aesthetics characteristic of its forerunner. The sinuous body, with the soft surfaces of the fenders highlighting the position of the wheels, takes up the pattern of the spider with a central engine. The cockpit glazing features shaped side deflectors, with their profile lowered towards the roll bar, the latter strictly "in view", to highlight our being in the presence of a "no-holds-barred" spider.
The rear geometries of the Abarth 1000 SP accentuate the ideal harmony between the lights and the exhaust pipes. The livery is strictly red and the characteristic air intakes appear all over, from the front bonnet to the cooling slots in its rear counterpart. The headlights also follow the minimalist scheme of the historic 1000 SP, with point lights on the nose and a single pair of round headlights to accentuate the car's remarkable breadth when seen from behind. The Abarth 1000 SP thus maintains a very similar identity to its forerunner's, courtesy of the meticulous work to update the historic, no-holds-barred Abarth 1000 SP.
Conversely, the tubular chassis under the "skin" of the historic Sport Prototipo gives way to a hybrid frame, with a central cell in carbon fiber and an aluminum front. The Abarth 1000 SP features a powerful turbocharged 4-cylinder, 1742-cc central engine, capable of delivering up to 240 hp in output. The sophisticated mechanics of the concept boast overlapping triangle suspension in the front, with an advanced MacPherson strut in the rear.
Precisely 55 years after the debut of its forerunner, the Abarth 1000 SP – only one model of which has been produced to date – is once again ready to strut its stuff: in the fall, it will be taking part in major events focused on vintage cars.

Adam Augustine: Candidate profile
Adam Augustine is a candidate for Bartlett Park District commissioner.
Name: Adam Augustine
City: Bartlett
Office sought: Bartlett Park District Commissioner
Family: Married with two children
Occupation: Director of Communications, Big Ten Conference
Education: Bachelor of Arts in Political Science, University of Wisconsin-Madison
Previous elected offices held: None
Incumbent? No
Facebook: facebook.com/adamforbartlett/
Issue questions
What are the most important issues facing your park district and how do you intend to address them?
At its best, a park district can unite a community in ways that few other organizations can. However, it can only do so when the programming is relevant and accessible to everyone in the community. I am running to be a voice on the park district board that emphasizes matching the programs offered to the needs of the community and doing so in a way that is both affordable and fits within the busy schedules of working families like my own.
If you are a newcomer, what prompted you to run for the park board?
When my wife, two young children and I moved to Bartlett about five years ago, we didn't know anyone and were hours away from our nearest family members. For us, park district programming was what first made us feel like we were a part of the community, whether it was swimming lessons, soccer, preschool or the fitness center. With more than 15 years of experience in collegiate and youth athletics administration and a bachelor's degree in political science, I am a first-time candidate who will use my experience and education to ensure that everyone in the community has access to the same types of programs that have meant so much to my family.
Which programs aren't paying for themselves? Would you keep, eliminate or change them? How and why?
Since Villa Olivia was acquired by the Bartlett Park District in 2010, its operation has been a consistent drag on the district's budget. In the six most recent years for which annual financial reports are available, Villa Olivia's expenditures have outpaced revenue by a total of more than $2 million. In 2015, the Bartlett Park District published a comprehensive plan for the future of the district. Not surprisingly, much attention was paid to Villa Olivia, including a section based on Bartlett Park District staff input that focused on the struggles and challenges presented by the facility. Many ideas were suggested in the document, including upgrades to the golf course or expansion of the winter offerings. Villa Olivia gives the Bartlett Park District a unique collection of facilities in terms of golf, skiing and banquet space, but it is imperative that the district find ways to improve and better promote the facility in order to make it a more viable part of the district.
Is there any additional open space the park district needs to acquire? Please describe.
The 2015 comprehensive plan identified a number of areas throughout the Bartlett Park District that are underserved by parks of all sizes, including mini, neighborhood and community parks. Areas without access to mini and neighborhood parks in particular would be my highest priority for future acquisitions as my goal would be for every family in the district to have access to a public open space within walking distance of their home.
Are there any unmet recreational needs? If yes, what are they and how would you propose paying for them?
The Bartlett Park District commissioned a survey of the community in 2014 which revealed a few unmet needs within the district. Youth athletics form a very important core of the district's activities and the survey identified a need for increased space for fast-growing sports such as lacrosse, soccer and volleyball. Increased practice and competition space for these sports could be made available by changing the priorities of how existing park district facilities are allocated to different programs and any new expenses incurred could be covered by reallocating existing budgeted funds or offset by increased program revenue. The same survey identified more ambitious projects worthy of consideration as well, such as expansion of health club facilities or the addition of an indoor ice rink. As with any capital investment, careful evaluation would be required to ensure that any such expansion would be undertaken with great fiscal responsibility.

50 Cent had some kind words to say about Eminem. The rapper said his friend wasn't given enough credit for the impact he had on the hip-hop world. During a recent podcast interview, 50 Cent mentioned that Eminem made the genre more accessible to more people.
The two rappers go way back and have been friends for over 20 years. Keep reading to find out more about what 50 Cent said about Eminem.
50 Cent says Eminem deserves more credit for promoting hip-hop
On October 18, Curtis appeared in Ebru in the morning To talk about his next TV show Hip hop murder. He was discussing how violent rap is now, saying, "Violence has always been in those communities. It's now, its clarity is there and it's connected to hip-hop culture. Because look, we're the fastest growing musical genre. You can't miss it."
Then he talked about Eminem, explaining how the rapper made hip-hop more accessible. "I think part of Eminem's legacy is the growth of our culture. People won't buy him if they don't see where they fit in. And he is there and he is a legitimate artist because of his journey."
"When you look at 8 Mile, you see a black story with a white foreground. You see poverty, you see [similar] conditions. Look at his friends Proof and D-12 and everyone else: these are real hip-hop guys. And that's why he's a true hip-hop guy," 50 Cent continued.
50 Cent praises Slim Shady for his influence on Rap Genre
The rapper added, "Who would be pissed when a white man comes along and sells the most records in hip-hop culture, and is still, to this day, the best-selling artist in hip-hop? NWA, maybe an N** gas with attitudes is upset. So Jimmy [Iovine]It's genius to put it with Dre."
Slim Shady celebrated his 50th birthday on Monday, and Curtis was one of the first artists to wish for the rapper. "Happy birthday to my son @eminem I love you. I wish you more. God bless you. I will come to see you when I finish the walk," he wrote, posting a picture of Eminem.
Eminem and 50 Cent have been friends since 2002
50 Cent signed with Eminem's Shady Records in 2002 and has been friends with him ever since. He paid tribute to the rapper on a number of previous occasions as well. In 2014, he said in an interview, "I have a lot of value for him, not just in my career, just in my life."
"He is a man who is one of my best friends because I trust that he will be honest in his constructive criticism. Hip hop is undoubtedly black music. And unfortunately for some people, it is hard to accept that you have a white artist who does that better than a black artist."

'Khloe & Lamar' Is Not Necessarily Over, Khloe Says
May 2, 2012 - 8:27 pm by Mikey Fresh TWITTER
Despite the announcement they were calling it quits on their reality show, it appears Khloe and Lamar may bring back their reality series in the future after all.
Khloe told Entertainment Tonight:
"Our show is not cancelled. Lamar and I have chosen to take a break this summer. We've been on a whirlwind doing back-to-back shows, and we just want to take a little time off for Lamar to be with family time, kids, basketball, Olympics—you never know. So, we have a lot on our plate right now."
"The issue at hand is we just want to be happy," Lamar added. "We'll take our time and we'll get back to it when it's time."
TMZ reported Monday (April 30) that "Khloe & Lamar" would not be returning after its second season so Lamar could "focus on reviving his fizzling NBA career."
Lamar was recently dismissed from the Dallas Mavericks. —Stephanie Long

Vitamin D supplementation of initially vitamin D-deficient mice diminishes lung inflammation with limited effects on pulmonary epithelial integrity. Physiological Reports. 5 (15).
© 2017 The Authors. Physiological Reports published by Wiley Periodicals, Inc. on behalf of The Physiological Society and the American Physiological Society In disease settings, vitamin D may be important for maintaining optimal lung epithelial integrity and suppressing inflammation, but less is known of its effects prior to disease onset. Female BALB/c dams were fed a vitamin D 3 -supplemented (2280 IU/kg, VitD + ) or nonsupplemented (0 IU/kg, VitD - ) diet from 3 weeks of age, and mated at 8 weeks of age. Male offspring were fed the same diet as their mother. Some offspring initially fed the VitD - diet were switched to a VitD + diet from 8 weeks of age (VitD -/+ ). At 12 weeks of age, signs of low-level inflammation were observed in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of VitD - mice (more macrophages and neutrophils), which were suppressed by subsequent supplementation with vitamin D 3 . There was no difference in the level of expression of the tight junction proteins occludin or claudin-1 in lung epithelial cells of VitD + mice compared to VitD - mice; however, claudin-1 levels were reduced when initially vitamin D-deficient mice were fed the vitamin D 3 -containing diet (VitD -/+ ). Reduced total IgM levels were detected in BALF and serum of VitD -/+ mice compared to VitD + mice. Lung mRNA levels of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) were greatest in VitD -/+ mice. Total IgG levels in BALF were greater in mice fed the vitamin D 3 -containing diet, which may be explained by increased activation of B cells in airway-draining lymph nodes. These findings suggest that supplementation of initially vitamin D-deficient mice with vitamin D 3 suppresses signs of lung inflammation but has limited effects on the epithelial integrity of the lungs.

LifeLab
The LifeLab
LifeLab is a science education intervention designed to change young people's attitudes and behaviour towards their own and others health.
I thought they would be in lab coats like you see on the films, but they spoke to us, like they were a child wanting to find stuff out as well.
Tom - LifeLab Visitor - Meet the Scientists Event - Year 9 School Student
LifeLab is an innovative educational intervention based in Southampton, aiming to improve young people's health and inspire an interest in science.
Research in the National Institute for Health Research funded Nutrition, Diet and Lifestyle Biomedical Research Unit and Medicine at the University of Southampton has identified the importance of early development prenatally and in infancy on long-term health as well as the importance of how both a mother's and father's diet and general health can impact on their child's lifelong health.
There is now a growing agenda for the promotion of a healthy lifestyle in young people in relation to prevention of diseases including obesity, diabetes, cancer, immunity, cardiovascular, respiratory and osteoporosis. These chronic diseases come at a significant socio-economic cost and prevention of them not only benefits the individuals at risk, but reduces the pressure on limited health resources. Coupled with these insights is an increasing recognition of the role of health literacy in enabling people to exert greater control over their health and the factors that shape health.
LifeLab is an innovative, cross-community educational intervention that develops, delivers and evaluates a number of educational programmes tailored to school students (11-18) that demonstrate the importance of diet, development and impact on Lifelong Health across a number of areas (cardiovascular, diabetes, osteoporosis) based on our world-leading research. By engaging children with the science that shows how lifestyle choices at an early age can affect health and future children's health, we hope to empower them to make healthier choices and reduce their risk of developing chronic diseases later in life.
LifeLab Module
The LifeLab work module, comprises pre and post-visit lessons to be delivered in school, interspersed with a day at LifeLab for:
hands-on practical activities to embed messages about maternal and childhood nutritional influences
opportunities to experience modern science to inspire students with the excitement of research and future career possibilities
opportunities to talk with research scientists, in a "Meet the Scientist" session to explore or challenge their views of scientists
The approach enhances rather than replaces the school experience, enabling students to appreciate the relevance of modern science and aims to inspire them with the excitement of research and the possibilities for future careers.
The purpose of scientific research in the field of medicine is to improve human health. Such research generally begins in the lab, this basic research must then be translated into medical practice, whether it is prevention, treatment or cure. We feel that a missing component to this is the effective translation of the understanding of this research to the people whom it is for. LifeLab is part of Medicine's enterprise activity in terms of outreach in order to address this concern.
The feedback from the schools has been hugely positive, and after attending the LifeLab activities, students have demonstrated a significantly improved awareness that nutrition during early development can affect future health, and that lifestyles of both parents can affect the health of their children.
Funding from the EPSRC, enabled us with a relatively small budget to produce educational resources for use in schools directly based on the research being carried out in the Faculty of Medicine and to run the LifeLab day for a limited number of students.
Widening Access to Medicine residential event
The University of Southampton is running a residential event aimed at students in Year 12 who want to study Medicine at university, who will need to apply through a widening access programme.
Taking place from 4 – 6 April 2016, it aims to increase students' knowledge of the role of doctors and the training they undergo. The deadline for applications is 22 January 2016. Find out more about the event here.
In the two years since opening, over 3,000 students from schools across the South Coast have participated in the LifeLab programme.

ISIS kills 14 in attack of natural gas plant

Iraqi firefighters try to extinguish a fire at a natural gas plant in Taji, 12 miles (20 kilometers) north of Baghdad, Iraq, Sunday, May 15, 2016.

Posted at 7:46 AM, May 15, 2016
BAGHDAD (AP) — The Islamic State group launched a coordinated assault Sunday on a natural gas plant north of Baghdad that killed at least 14 people, according to Iraqi officials.
The attack started at dawn with a suicide car bomber hitting the main gate of the plant in the town of Taji, about 20 kilometers (12 miles) north of Baghdad. Then several suicide bombers and militants broke into the plant and clashed with the security forces, an official said, adding that 27 troops were wounded.
The IS-affiliated Aamaq news agency credited a group of "Caliphate soldiers" for the attack.
In a statement, Deputy Oil Minister Hamid Younis said firefighters managed to control and extinguish a fire caused by the explosions. Younis said technicians were examining the damage.
Elsewhere in Baghdad, three separate bomb attacks targeted commercial areasm killing at least eight civilians and wounding 28 others, police added.
Medical officials confirmed the casualty figures. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to release information.
IS extremists still control significant areas in northern and western Iraq, including the second-largest city of Mosul. It has declared an Islamic caliphate on the territory it holds in Iraq and Syria.
The group has recently increased its attacks far from the front lines in a campaign that Iraqi officials say is an attempt to distract from their recent battlefield losses.
Since Wednesday, more than 100 people have been killed in a string of bombings in Baghdad and elsewhere


"The client was Menicon, a contact lens company, and the package was designed as a part of a branding campaign for Magic, a line of disposable contact lenses. The brief from the client was to convey the feature of a new package — only 1 millimeter thick.
When you open the package, the lens pops up; this allows you to take your lenses easily without touching the inner face of the lens. This hygienic nature of the product was considered as a brand value and decided that the design strategy should focus on this value.
The designers transformed the steps of how to wear Magic into 4 unique signs: the package, the act of opening it, taking the lens out, and wearing the lens. The end result was the visual identity that express the philosophy of the product by itself."

One Good Hustle
Livingston, Billie
From award-winning writer Billie Livingston, an unsparing novel of loyalty and survival that is fierce, sharp and funny even when it's breaking your heart.
The child of 2 con artists, 16-year-old Sammie Bell always prided herself on knowing the score. But now she finds herself backed into a corner. After a hustle gone dangerously wrong, her mother, Marlene, is sliding into an abyss of alcoholic depression, spending her days fantasizing aloud about death--a goal Sammie is tempted to help her accomplish. Horrified by the appeal of this, Sammie packs a bag and leaves her mother to her own devices.
With her father missing in action, she has nowhere else to go but the home of a friend with 2 parents who seem to actually love their daughter and each other--and who awkwardly try to extend some semblance of family to Sammie. Throughout a long summer of crisis among the normals, Sammie is torn between her longing for the approval of the con-man father she was named for and her desire for the "weird, spearmint-fresh feeling" of life in the straight world. Sammie wants to be normal but fears that where she comes from makes that beyond the realm of possibility.
One Good Hustle chronicles 2 months in Sammie Bell's struggle with her dread that she is somehow doomed genetically to be just another hustler.

Sammie has got it rough, her mom wants to kill herself and she has little interaction with her father - both are con artists, which has left an imprint on Sammie and her outlook on life and its expectations (or the lack there of). Loved the character development, as well as, the landscape of Burnaby/Vancouver with Sammie's trapsings. Take in how Sammie deals with her relationships with her mom/dad and how she wants to fit in and be normal with her foster family. Enjoyed!

Sixteen year old Sammie Bell is the daughter of two con artists. She lives with her mother, a depressed woman who abuses drugs and alcohol and talks about ending her life. Sammie has not heard from her dad for a year, but she clings to the hope that he will call and save her and her mother. At the point when she can take no more Sammie turns to Jill, a school friend, for a place to stay. The story unfolds over the summer after the girls have finished grade 11. Sammie tries to fit in with Jill and her parents and their version of family but this is not easy for her. She wants to be 'normal' but fears that where she comes from makes this impossible. Sammie is faced with making some difficult decisions and she rises to the challenge.
This book was not written for the young adult audience but would appeal to older teens as well as adults. It was long-listed for the 2012 Giller Prize. Reviewed by JL

This book didn't have much in the way of plot and I didn't feel like the character development was strong enough to make up for it. Although your heart does go out to the main character as she struggles to overcome the difficult life her parents have given her. I think the writing style and subject matter would be better suited to a YA book.

if you grew up in Vancouver in the 70s and 80s you will feel very nostalgic reading this book. Endless Love was my first dance wedding song and reading this book was so enjoyable and brought back so many memories of growing up in the Lower Mainland during those years. I loved Sammie and reading about her dealing with the world around her kept me up reading the book from start to finish in one night.

In her third novel, Billie Livingston transports the reader to 1980s Burnaby, B.C. and chronicles a difficult summer in the life of Sammie Bell. This razor-tongued 16-year-old has two con artists for parents: an absent, card shark father and a depressed, suicidal, alcoholic mother. When Sammie leaves her mom to stay with her friend, Jill, she finds herself caught between the Christian ideals of her pseudo–foster family and the shady but alluring world of her hustler parents and their ramshackle group of so-called friends.
Livingston has created nuanced, multi-dimensional characters who at once display abstinence, lawlessness, caring, hypocrisy, loyalty and flaw. Sammie herself has a tough but sensitive, sarcastic but sweet voice, which lingers after the book ends. Apart from a climactic scene that wraps up too quickly, "One Good Hustle" makes for an enjoyable, fast and entertaining read.

Філармонічний оркестр Радіо Франції () — французький симфонічний оркестр, що базується в Парижі.

Коротка історія
Заснований 1937 року як Радіо-симфонічний оркестр () на додаток до створеного трьома роками раніше Національного оркестру французького радіомовлення.

З 1960 року називався «Філармонічний оркестр французького радіомовлення» ().

З 1964 — «Філармонічний оркестр Французького радіо і телебачення» ().

У 1976 році оркестр був реорганізований з приєднанням до нього камерного оркестру і Радіо-ліричного оркестру, що також працювали в системі Французького радіо і телебачення, і отримав назву «Новий філармонічний оркестр Радіо Франції» ().

1989 року слово «новий» було відкинуто, і колектив отримав нинішню назву.

Репертуар
Оркестр, в основному, спеціалізується на сучасній музиці. Серед композиторів, чиї твору були вперше виконані оркестром, — Андре Жоліве, Вітольд Лютославський, Бруно Мадерна, Яніс Ксенакіс, Даріус Мійо, Олів'є Мессіан, Ганс Вернер Генце, Лучано Беріо, Петер Етвеш, Франко Донатоні, Едісон Денисов, Паскаль Дюсапен та інші. У той же час серед значних подій в музичному житті Франції було здійснене оркестром повне виконання тетралогії Ріхарда Вагнера «Кільце Нібелунга» (концертна версія 1986, сценічна — 1988), яка до цього не виконувалася у Франції цілком протягом 30 років. Вперше у Франції у виконанні оркестру прозвучала «Олена Єгипетська» Ріхарда Штрауса.

Диригенти
У 1998 році своє 70-річчя відзначив спільним виступом з оркестром Євген Свєтланов. Серед інших диригентів, багато працювали з оркестром у різні роки — постійні запрошені диригенти Юбер Судан і Еммануель Крівін. У 2002–2005 з оркестром працював як другий диригент Кирило Карабиць.

You must write in Arabic, as I understood your original misguided post perfectly well.
thats right, devide and conqour. start playing their game. at least wait and see who or what did it before pointing fingers.
at least it cant be blamed on assault rifles.
i think it was a foreign action but we'll see.
I'm sorry if I offend anybody... ok... seriously, no I'm not. First and foremost, what happened is a tragedy. And I hope and pray those responsible are swiftly brought to justice. HOWEVER, justice precludes giving up my freedoms!
After 4 years of umpteen number of unanswered scandals, people are still optimistic about the Modus Operandi of this administration. A Leopard can't change its spots.
When we find out who did this, we should destroy them, period, no mercy, domestic or foreign, we have been perceived as weak and as so we will be a target.
Atrocity is a much better word for this than tragedy. It's a tragedy if 160 people are severely injured, and some killed, in say...a tornado or earthquake. Even if human failures and foibles are partially responsible for the damage. This deliberate act is an atrocity, perpetrated by a monster, animated by some sort of a monstrous belief.
That's immediately what I thought too. Target wasn't government or symbolic at all to foreign groups, other than it being Patriots Day. Explosions looked like they were crude ammonium nitrate based explosives as opposed to something more powerful and harder to get like RDX or PETN.
There will be more death and destruction.
Time to do background checks on all marathon runners and attendees for mental issues. Don't forget their backpacks and their person--Homeland Security can provide the machines. Oh, I forgot, Diane oh Diane, where are you when we need you--ban on amounts of explosives and fertilizer you can buy lets lower it from 30 pounds to 10 pounds--you understand those numbers real well.
Idk..a 1 pound charge of tannerite (an ammonium nitrate based explosive) does a good amount of damage. I think we should just ban it all together and criminalize all the law-abiding farmers. Maybe make them register their fertilizer spreaders too.

Q: Does Anyone Use FileMaker Pro to Build iPhone Apps? My company has an app built using FileMaker Pro, and it is not a great app. It's not user friendly and it is hard to use. It also doesn't do everything that we need it to do. I don't know anything about Filemaker Pro, but it seems like it's an older system. Most people building iPhone apps are coding in objective C and swift right?
Does anyone have any input on Filemaker Pro? Anything you share would help. Is it old? Does it have a lot of limitations? Is it popular to use when building apps? Does anyone still use it or are most apps built in Objective C and Swift with a text editor?
Thanks for the input!

A: Your question is really off-topic for StackOverflow, but I will provide a couple of pointers:

*

*FileMaker is not old - it's very current.

*FileMaker is not a tool for building iOS apps. FileMaker is a tool (or set of tools) for developing and deploying cross-platform database solutions. One of these tools is FileMaker Go - an iOS app that will run a solution developed in FileMaker. This appears to the user as a native iOS app.

*If the solution does not fit your needs, the fault is more likely to lie with the developer than with the platform.

*If you're not running FileMaker as part of your business, then FileMaker Go is probably not the best choice for you.

Education and Advocacy The landscape of retirement planning is shifting. Today's generation of pre-retirees face more responsibilities than ever before, prompting the need for more family based-decisions.
A generation ago, couples entering retirement generally had children who were already on their own and parents who had likely passed away. The role that family played in retirement was somewhat different than it is today.
Many financial advisors make a point of including family members in the retirement planning process as a way of educating them on the transition that their parents may go through when they leave the traditional workplace.
For many retiring boomers, the emotion and pull of family often supersedes dreams of downsizing, the snowbird lifestyle or achieving a bucket list.
Today, retirement planning has to go beyond building a bucket list or thinking about lifestyle enjoyment. It is also a time where family issues and concerns demand consideration.
Often, new retirees find themselves in the role of providing free day care for grandchildren as a way of looking after young couples struggling with working at a job and needing to look after their children.
One other area that often becomes a burden for aging boomers is the need to provide for their parents or to ensure that they are looked after as they get older. This may not necessarily involve caregiving, but can mean looking after the financial affairs of parents or to provide them with help in the face of diminishing physical or mental ability.
For many retiring boomers, the emotion and pull of family often supersedes dreams of downsizing, the snowbird lifestyle or achieving a bucket list. This can affect the financial planning process, the estate planning considerations, and certainly the retirement lifestyle plan. This should be a major point of discussion between those thinking about retirement and their advisors.

Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph Public Affairs
JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-RANDOLPH, Texas -- Secretary of Defense Ash Carter traveled to Joint Base San Antonio, Texas, Nov. 16 during a trip focused on ensuring the readiness of the U.S. military and the effectiveness of the training and equipment provided to today's warfighters.
While at JBSA, Carter spoke with Airmen who had just completed basic training at JBSA-Lackland, visited Brooke Army Medical Center at JBSA-Fort Sam Houston and took part in a T-1 Jayhawk orientation flight at JBSA-Randolph.
"Today we looked at a number of ways we are building the force of the future, to make sure that it is as fine as the force we have today," Carter said. "That means recruiting, it means training, it means retaining and it means taking care of service members. We saw that entire arc today."
Carter explained to the recent BMT graduates that countries all around the world like working with American military members; not only because they are competent, well trained, disciplined and powerful on the battlefield, but also because of the things that America stands for.
"I am so pleased to lead the finest fighting force the world has ever known." Carter said. "The key reason for that is the people like yourselves. You have some very tough task masters here, but that's because you are learning from the best the world has to offer, so you can become the best the world has to offer."
During his visit to BAMC, the Army's largest and busiest medical center, Carter personally thanked wounded and ill service members and their families along with BAMC staff for their service and sacrifice.
"Taking care of our service members is important, especially our wounded, ill and injured," Carter said.
The secretary ended his visit at JBSA-Randolph where future Air Force instructor pilots are being trained and where future enlisted remotely piloted aircraft pilots will train.
"There is so much going on here in San Antonio which is relevant to our force of today and the force of the future," Carter said. "I am committed to that and I am confident that our armed forces will remain what it is today, which is the best in the world."

The major categories are divided into non-woven and spinning, clothing lining is generally divided into non-woven and spinning two.
1. Non-woven, as the name implies, is a cloth that has not been formed through textiles.
Process principle: The viscose with chemical fiber is subjected to high temperature and high pressure to form the base fabric. Then a layer of hot melt adhesive was applied to the surface of the base fabric by the coating machine, and after drying, the nonwoven lining used by us was formed.
How to use: Place the side of the interlining with a plastic on the fabric, then use a bonding machine or an iron to melt the glue on the interlining so as to achieve the effect of bonding on the fabric.
Features: Cheap, soft, but not washable.
2. There is spinning, the commonly used equipment is a key rod loom and a water jet loom, and a polyester fabric is made into a base fabric by spinning. It is characterized by strong pulling force and good elasticity.
Regarding the glue of the lining cloth, the dusting glue is usually used on the market in the past, and its feature is that the amount of glue is large and the production process is simple. The disadvantage is that the amount of glue is large and the glue penetration phenomenon is easily generated. It has now been eliminated.
Now the most advanced is a no-powder two-point process, which is characterized by easy control of the amount of glue, strong adhesion, washability and other special treatment. Now used by most manufacturers.

At first blush, a Tangent Rugged industrial computer looks strikingly like a massive CPU with no fan. The familiar heat dispersing fins and it's diminutive size are quite deceiving in this way, but it truly is a fully featured industrial computer. Many of the PCs in the Rugged line, like the Rugged Tank, are fanless industrial computers that utilize passive cooling technology instead of a fan blowing on hot internal components. Passive cooling happens by way of heat dissipation as air flows over the unique and expertly designed heat sink that transfers warmth away from the internal computer components. This method is excellent for eliminating noise and internal dust build-up, as well as vastly reducing energy consumption.
Another factor in noise reduction on these mini industrial computers is the option (and recommendation) for solid state hard drives as opposed to standard hard disc drives with a spinning disc. No fans and no moving disc parts equates to a much greater reliability, durability and service uptime. The lack of moving parts in the Rugged industrial computer also allows it to operate in extreme and fluctuating temperatures with ease. It works equally well in a refrigerated food processing plant or in a desert off-road rally race. That's no joke either, the Rugged Tank industrial computer has been tested and rated to withstand consistent shock and vibration. It's ideal for in-vehicle applications such as construction or farming vehicles, news vans, or industrial forklifts.
Being a fanless mini industrial computer doesn't nearly suggest that it's a slouch in terms of performance. Depending on one's requirements, it can be customized to be a daily workhorse or a high powered workstation. Processors offered range from an Intel Celeron Dual-Core to an Intel i7 Quad-Core, and memory is offered at up to 16GB. It is equipped standard with either Windows 7 or Windows 10, and has TPM 1.2 and RAID support. The petite industrial PC has an abundance of available I/O ports including three video outputs, six COM, six USB inputs, 2 LAN, WLAN, audio, and several others. As the name suggests, this little industrial computer is truly a formidable tank. Tangent's Rugged mini PCs are powerful and effective in environments experiencing extreme temperature or constant shock and vibration, or spaces that require extreme cleanliness. From the precise and sterile to the dirty and industrial, Tangent has a computer solution to rise to the occasion.
The American public is no stranger to fast food safety scares and widespread food poisoning events amongst even the most popular restaurants that boast freshness and quality. Chipotle quickly comes to mind as a repeat offender. The most recent infraction was in August of 2018 when 220 verified reports involving 405 people who were rendered ill from eating at an Ohio Chipotle were submitted to the crowd-sourcing site iwaspoisoned.com. The critical violation was found to be inadequate maintenance of temperature control to prevent the growth of pathogens, mold and harmful bacteria. Proper washing of vegetables and leafy greens was another key factor as they can be a carrier for awful strains of bacteria like E.coli. Cleanliness of workstations and any food surface a worker touches also contributes greatly to a safe environment.
I happen to be a fan of Chipotle's food, but on a few occasions have wondered how safe it was for their staff to handle food and then work the register as well. Computer equipment can be a hotbed of bacteria, especially when handled by several people in a warm environment. How safe are the POS (point of sale) tablets in a fast food restaurant? What other steps can be taken to prevent the spread of contaminants and pathogens?
The Tangent P10 industrial POS tablet was designed for the rigors of intensive use and cleaning. The front panel is rated at an IP54 level of protection, meaning that it can withstand low pressure water jets and spray without any damage to the POS tablet. Restaurant staff can wipe down the POS tablet with disinfectant wipes throughout the work day, and then spray it down during cleanup time for a more thorough sanitation. The P10 10" inch POS tablet itself is equipped with a smart card reading slot, a barcode scanner, a five megapixel camera, and triple-track MSR. The accompanying docking station features a wide array of I/O ports in a compact space to attach peripherals like a cash drawer, second monitor, or USB devices.
For an even higher level of pathogen protection, Tangent also offers medical grade tablets that can easily be used for POS purposes. The enclosure of the Medix T13 13" tablet is factory treated with an antimicrobial coating that prevents the spread of contamination and infection. Bacteria, mold, and microbial growth is stunted by the antimicrobial additives. The enclosure is also rated at an IP54, allowing it to be sprayed and wiped clean. Like the P10, the T13 medical (POS) tablet has a full-slot smart card reader and barcode reader, but this one also has an optional RFID reader. The T13 has an available desktop charging cradle for added I/O ports. For convenient mobile use, this medical grade tablet can be equipped with a hand strap and integrated stand.
There is a lot of responsibility that goes into offering customers a safe dining experience, and part of that is ensuring that restaurant equipment is clean and sanitary, including computer devices. Tangent's line of industrial and medical grade tablets offer elevated levels of safety for a multitude of uses including POS (point of sale) transactions.
