Galaxy J3 review: Samsung's great-value $249 phone
By Staff Writers on Dec 1, 2016 6:24AM
What sort of smartphone can get for under $250? A pretty good one, thanks to the Samsung Galaxy J3.
Samsung might be better known for its premium smartphones, but it also makes some surprisingly good budget handsets. The Samsung Galaxy J3 is one such phone.
From just $249, this 5-inch Android smartphone offers some impressive specifications for the price, making it well worth including in our gift guide series – or considering for your own phone if you're on a tight budget.
How well does it stack up in everyday use? Here's our full review.
The J3 is finished in bland, matte plastic all over, but feels staidly solid at the same time. The case doesn't bend or creak unduly and its buttons all depress with a good, solid click. Despite its budget appearance, the Galaxy J3 is a robust-feeling smartphone.
We're not huge fans of the two-tone black-and-white front panel of our review sample – we'd go for all-black if we had a choice. There are better looking phones available, but overall the J3 is pretty inoffensive.
Where the appearance and build is run of the mill, however, the J3's 5in display is anything but. It uses an AMOLED panel – a real rarity in this price bracket. This brings with it a sharp 720p resolution and a vibrancy and colour-packed image that most budget handsets can't get near, with its perfect, inky black level ensuring images look incredibly punchy solid.
OLED displays have a tendency to look a little dull — it's their one major weakness — but not here. We recorded maximum brightness of 447cd/m2, which means it's readable in the brightest sunshine. Note, however, that you'll need to enable the phone's auto-brightness mode for it to hit these heights. In manual mode, the screen peaks at a much lower 318cd/m2.
Inside, the J3 employs an Spreadtrum SC8830 chipset with 1.2GHz quad-core processor and 1.5GB of RAM. By comparison, the next step up in Samsung's range, the $399 Galaxy J5, has a 1.4GHz Cortex-A53 chipset, and that difference showed in our benchmark testing.
The Galaxy J3 was around 20 percent slower than the J5 in both our Geekbench 3 multi-core processing test and the GFXBench T-Rex graphics test. That's a significant margin, but not sort of difference that would make a big difference to the day-to-day feel of the phone.
Sure, demanding games won't run smoothly with the maximum-quality settings enabled, but most casual, strategy and puzzle games will run without issue. And, where it matters, the phone is reasonably responsive. There's no noticeable typing lag when using the onscreen keyboard, and swiping between screens is snappy and smooth.
Battery life isn't half bad, either. In our video-rundown test, which we run with the screen set to a brightness of 170cd/m2, the Galaxy J3's 2,600mAh battery lasted 13 hours 15 minutes. That's around 4.5 hours less than the J5's excellent result, but anything above 13 hours in this test is pretty good. Translated to real-world use, the J3 will comfortably last you a day of use, maybe even a day and a half if you're careful.
The icing on the cake is that the battery is removable, so you can carry around a spare for emergencies and replace it in a trice if it's getting tired. There's also a microSD slot beneath the backplate rear panel, so you can expand the phone's rather limited 8GB of internal storage.
The Galaxy J3 has an 8-megapixel camera at the rear and a 5-megapixel front-facing snapper. There's no fancy autofocus mechanism, nor optical image stabilisation, but quality is fine for a phone at this price. It won't be able to match the pricier J5 for detail capture, however, as that phone has a higher-resolution 13-megapixel camera.
But it's a decent performer for the price, both indoors and outdoors, although it's held back by a propensity to overexpose highlights when faced with scenes containing lots of light and shadow detail.
Enabling HDR fixes this problem, but this slows the processing of images down by a couple of seconds, and it can't fix the fact that the J3's images get very noisy and fuzzy in anything but good light. It's also rather slow to focus generally, and video capture only goes as far as 720p.
The Samsung Galaxy J3 is a great budget smartphone. It's reasonably well made and has a great screen that leaves us wondering why more manufacturers don't specify AMOLED panels on their cheap handsets.
The biggest problem the Galaxy J3 faces is the fact that its stablemate, the Galaxy J5 Prime, is faster, has a better camera, a marginally bigger screen and significantly better battery life than the J3.
However, the $399 J5 Prime does cost a fair bit more. At its regular unlocked price of $329, the Galaxy J3 is good value. As a Telstra pre-paid phone for $249, it's a steal.

From just $249, the Samsung Galaxy J3 offers decent performance, battery life and camera, and a very nice 5in AMOLED display.

Family, 4-4-2 and the fans: How Millwall staged an unlikely promotion push
Millwall are not used to being afforded much attention beyond south London but they might have to get used to it soon. Depending on their fortunes in the next six games, they could have the eyes of the world on them as the newest member of the Premier League.
A 17-match unbeaten run that has catapulted the unfashionable side into the Championship promotion picture is already raising more interest than normal.
"Ive never seen so many people out here," joked defender Jed Wallace this week when he poked his head out of the clubs Bromley training ground entrance to see the gathered media. "We must be in the play-offs."
Indeed they are, and it will also be unusually busy at the New Den tonight where a capacity crowd and the Sky TV cameras will greet Millwall and cross-town rivals Fulham for the first of three crunch games against fellow promotion hopefuls.
Unlike their upcoming opponents — after third-placed Fulham come Middlesbrough and Aston Villa, who occupy the other play-off positions — sixth-placed Millwall were focused more on survival than promotion at the start of this season, having just returned to the second tier.
Under the spotlight: Neil Harris wants his side to enjoy the extra attention being lavished on his side (Source: Getty)
They have spent just two seasons of their 133-year history in the top-flight, and last graced the division in 1990 — before the lucrative Premier League era had begun.
Yet now they are under the spotlight, the Lions are showing no signs of stage fright.
"Im relishing the fact weve got a London derby on a Friday night and on the TV," central midfielder George Saville tells City A.M.
"I know its going to be a full stadium, a sell-out. Were playing for a place in the play-offs. You cant ask for much more."
Saville's attitude reflects that of manager Neil Harris, who is at ease enough on the training ground ahead of a potentially epochal fortnight for his club to take a few barbs from club captain Steve Morison about his new "Sky trim" haircut for Friday night.
"Its exciting, isnt it?," says Harris. "I said to the players: 'Look, we are play-off contenders and lets not shy away from it or feel the added pressure of it; lets just enjoy it'.
"The attitude to training, the attitude around the building is exactly the same as it has been all season. Its not carefree because theyre professional sportsmen. Theres a seriousness to it. But they do it in a controlled environment with a culture they thrive in. They enjoy coming to work. Thats what got us here."
Saville enjoys it so much that he joined Millwall for a third time this summer from Wolves — themselves promoted to the Premier League this week — having already had two loan spells at the club.

He has watched his former Wolves team-mates hog headlines all season, never more so than in a last week when they clinched promotion and dominated team of the year lists.
Yet as happy as he is for friends who are still part of the Chinese-funded, super-agent-dependent project at Molineux, Saville does not sound a wistful tone when talking about his old employers.
The former Chelsea academy player has settled at the club at which he made his senior debut in 2013 and scored 10 goals from midfield — double his previous best tally.
"Ive got a couple of close pals at Wolves Im really happy for but it doesnt change how I feel and where my focus is — its with Millwall," says Saville.
"Theres a real warmth to this club. Off the pitch as well, it goes through not just the players but staff, dinner ladies, everyone involved. Theres a real family feel to it which I love."
Harris compares Saville to a young Tim Cahill, who was equally adept at scoring goals from midfield when at Millwall in his early twenties. The fan favourite is now on hand to lend a few words of advice after returning to the club in January, aged 38.
Both are what Harris, himself a club legend on the field, would categorise as quintessentially Millwall players.
Some club fan-bases, he says, will "demand total football and youve got to pass, pass, pass". Others will have different characteristics they want to see in their side but "at Millwall, youve got to get the ball forward.
"Youve got to have centre-forwards on the pitch, two or three of them. They [the fans] want to see end product, they want to see tackles, they want to see running.
"If a fan was on the pitch they might not be technically the best player, but theyd have a right go in a Millwall shirt. And my players would have to be the same.
"To build success here you have to have that identification between fans and the pitch. Theres no middle ground with it."
Harris praises the virtues of "old-school leadership in a modern day dressing room" from the likes of veteran Morison and the flexibility and freedom his side enjoy from their 4-4-2 formation.
Leadership, 4-4-2, family and "having a right go": hardly fashionable concepts, yet Millwalls position among and above far more monied members of the Championship suggests that they are in no way to be sniffed at.
After all, nearly every club in the league will have a team of analysts assessing the opposition, sophisticated sport scientists and scouts all fixed on the treasure chest provided by the Premier League, which is worth at least £100m a season to each club.
But not every club has what Millwall has.
"The players dont need any messages from me on the day," says Harris. "When they turn up and feel the atmosphere on Friday night thatll be enough for them."

The fund makes scholarships of up to $500 available to African American boys under 18 to pursue enrichment activities such as camps, extracurricular activities and travel opportunities. Preference is given to boys living on Chicago's South side.
Nathan Tutwyler
Beloved husband and father, Nathan Tutwyler made his final transition on Friday, May 23, 2014. After a long battle with liver disease, Nathan's final moments in this life came at the University of Chicago hospital, with his wife, Rolisa, and a caring medical team by his side. Nate, as he was known by friends and family, was 51 years old.
He was born on January 25, 1963, in Richmond, Virginia. He was the adopted son of the late Willie Mae and Bernard Tutwyler, later becoming the dear child of Junius Banks, all of Buckingham County, Virginia. He is survived by his siblings, Nannie Jones and her husband, Reverend Maynard Jones, and Payton Tutwyler and his wife Grace. He is predeceased by older brothers, Charlie and Robert Tutwyler.
Nate lived most of his years in Virginia, but raised his youngest children for the last decade on Chicago's Southside. Nate is survived by his adored wife, Rolisa Harris Tutwyler, whom he married November 20, 1999. Rolisa and Nate first met in high school, but it was when he showed up as the driver of her moving truck in 1997, when romance first blossomed between them. Together they raised four extraordinary children, Catherine Smith (24), Christina Smith (22), McKinnley Tutwyler (13), and Nathia Tutwyler (11). Nate is also survived by his children, Tamara Tutwyler (28) and Tyrane Tutwyler (24) of Buckingham, Virginia, and Jarvis Stovall (27) and his wife Angela of Portsmouth, Virginia. Nathan's three grandsons; three granddaughters; and a bevy of nieces and nephews will carry forth his legacy.
A graduate of Buckingham County High School, Nate took great pride that one son is serving honorably in the United States Navy, and two daughters have earned their college degrees, one just days before his passing. Nate will be missed by friends and colleagues at the University of Chicago Press where he worked faithfully for more than ten years. And he will be mourned, celebrated and remembered by his church family at Hyde Park Vineyard church.
In this life, Nate was a kind, gentle, and grateful soul. His adored family was the center of his world. He took great joy in simple pleasures of weekend fishing, playing with the family cat, Pandora, enjoying an ice cream cone bought in an actual ice cream parlor, or kicking back listening to reggae while eating spicy Jamaican food. Nate was thrilled when his family cared for his long and gorgeous locks and when they joined him in the spiritual journey of growing their own. He smiled when strangers commented on their hair and shared a thousand moments with his youngest son, daughters, and wife about the world's reaction to him. Like all God's children, Nate was imperfect, but he brought humor and light with him everywhere. At the moment of his transition, his passing was eased by having shared so much love and having left his family well cared and provided for in a home he labored his whole life to make possible.
Nate will be remembered by all who knew him well and likely by many he met only once. He will be welcomed on the other side of this life by his Heavenly Father and his dearly departed friend, Michael, who went before him to prepare a place so many decades ago.

Ethiopia: Democracy and Federalism Go Hand in Hand
The Ethiopian Herald (Addis Ababa)
Since the adoption of the 1995 Constitution, the states that formed the Federal Republic have been enjoying their rights for self-determination and administration. Unfortunately, following the recent change in the country, violence has been witnessed in some states that caused violation of human and democratic rights. This has forced some to question the sustainability of the federal system in maintaining peace and stability.
Yet, the major causes of the violence seem to be absence of democratic system and strong and independent institutions. This is also what has been reflected by scholars on federalism, whom the Amharic Daily Addis Zemen approached for comment on the main sources of the violence and attack that target specific religious and ethnic groups in some parts of the country. The absence of a democratic set up, they said, has allowed individuals and groups to instigate violence and shield their voracious interests.
True, the absence of strong democratic institutions, particularly in a federal system, opens the opportunity for individuals or groups, mainly those who have been part of the statuesque, to abuse the system for their personal interests.
In Ethiopian case, in their bid to maintain the statuesque and personal network, few groups even went as far as letting lawlessness prevail, as has been witnessed in some states.
Obviously, the nonexistence of democratic culture and strong democratic institutions that guarantee accountability and transparency has allowed individuals to form networks and install their own structure to abuse the constitutional rights of citizens.
Those who came to power undemocratically would by no means respect rule of law. As there is no instrument to keep their powers and authorities in check, they think, nobody would be able to stop the violence they instigated. In fact, what has been witnessed is that these forces even tried to misuse the federal constitution as a cover to prevent the federal government's involvement, even at the height of human rights abuses. Alas, this led to an enumerable loss of precious human life and property. At the end of the day, had it not been for the intervention of the federal government, they would have been able to cause unprecedented causalities.
The supremacy of the law can only be guaranteed when there are strong and independent democratic institutions. It is only then that we will be able to prevent future causalities that might be instigated under the cover of federalism. Otherwise, it would be unthinkable to make accountable those responsible for instigating violence and human rights violations.
Top Headlines Ethiopia Governance
In federal countries such as Sweden, Switzerland and Belgium where states have extended political power, it is the presence of strong democratic institutions that keep the executive bodies at state levels in check and help overcome various challenges without much difficulty.
Though there are similar legal frameworks in Ethiopia, their applicability has been questionable so far. In addition, institutions that are meant to ensure their implementation are also inextricably intertwined with party structure. That is why federalism scholars advice that without a genuine democracy, it would be impossible to build a genuine federal system. As democracy is a necessary condition for the proper functioning of the federal system, democratic and human rights institutions such as independent security forces, independent judiciary, human rights commissions, the institutes of the ombudsman and the likes need to be established not only at federal but also state levels.

For some years, such words as share, tag, like and post have been part of everyone's vocabulary. Facebook has completely changed the world of digital communication with its own ecosystem made of people, marketing and advertising, technology and a real language. A system regulated by specific codes, a technology platform complex and above all a social system of daily behaviors that influence the relationship between people and brands.
All this requires a multi-disciplinary approach in order to be able to exploit the full potential of communication and business effectiveness. In IAKI no one will ever be accused of spending too much time on Facebook; he's just doing his job: to listen, to study the behavior of social communication, to understand the most authentic levers on which to act to create conversation around brands and their values. This interest is cross-team and each team shares the results of their research with others. It's a multi-disciplinary approach that allows to manage the complexity of the Facebook system and provides sales effectiveness, as well as the growth of the fan base.
Creativity is essential in a project of Facebook marketing. Good ideas surface in the sea of content on Facebook and are immediately recognized. Beautiful ideas attract attention and have many friends because they are easy to share.
These are the ideas that we have taken many brands on Facebook with, often making their debut in the world of social media marketing, with the first operations carried out in Italy in 2009; with them we have created dozens of Facebook marketing strategies, with significant results in terms of ROI. The experience of Facebook is confirming that commercial success comes to brands that know to be engaging and relevant for the lives of real people.

What is Psychotherapy?
How Does Psychotherapy Differ From Counselling?
How Does Psychotherapy Differ From CBT?
Group Psychotherapy
It took Thomas Edison 10,000 attempts before he invented a commercially viable lightbulb. Did he regard them as failures? Nope. 'I have not failed 10,000 times', he said. 'I have not failed once. I have succeeded in proving that those 10,000 ways will not work. When I have eliminated the ways that will not work, I will find the way that will work'.
So this blog is about failure and its importance. It's borrowed like the last one from Will Gompertz's great little book 'Think like an artist'. Gompertz makes the vital point that, when he writes about failure, he's absolutely not saying that it's good to fail. Instead, he's talking about the kind of failure that's embarrassing, crushing and deeply unpleasant. It's about when you're left sitting amid the debris of a failed project trying to see if there's anything salvageable. 'It's about the notion of failure in the context of creativity'.
Failure the temptress
But although failure's horrible, it's also unavoidable because it's an integral part of the process of making something. It's certainly not a reason for giving up. When everything has come crashing down, however, it's tempting to feel that this is the moment when we've failed rather thinking that this is one of the less enjoyable bits of the creative process. But artists, Gompertz writes, don't succumb to that temptation. Monet, Manet and Cézanne all had their paintings rejected for years by the official Salon in Paris but they didn't become accountants instead. They kept going because they believed in what they were doing. 'Artists appear glamorous … but in reality they are tenacious grafters'.
Now, there's also something else going on with successful artists – a common trait they tend to have. When the Rolling Stones began their journey, they were an R&B covers band until Mick Jagger and Keith Richards started writing their own songs. When Shakespeare began earning his livelihood it was as an actor until he became a playwright. When Leonardo da Vinci set out, he was marketing himself as an armaments designer before he became an inventor, artist, sculptor, architect, scientist, musician, mathematician, writer, anatomist, geologist, astronomer, botanist, historian and cartographer. As one does.
The common thread here is that what all these people started out doing changed into something different. Their success – and that of many individuals who make it – was 'down to a Plan B'. Finding your own plan B involves an element of chance – often in the form of an external prompt. The Stones, for instance, were told by their manager that the way to make money and gain creative control was to write their own music. A completely different example would be the American artist, Roy Lichtenstein, previously engaged in abstract expressionism, being challenged by his young son to see who could paint the best Mickey Mouse. And a leading Pop Artist was born. Whaam!
Stickability
Although there's a bit of luck in these external pushes, Gompertz says there's something about being open to using them creatively. Quoting the old sports adage, 'You've got to be in it to win it', he says that 'as long as you stick at what you are doing, constantly going through the cycle of experimentation, assessment and correction, the chances are you will reach the moment when everything falls into place'.
Fear of finding
Perhaps the biggest threat to our success comes from the fact that too many of us give up too soon or (worse) that we're too scared to even try. And yet it we don't try because the chances of success are small then they become zero. Creativity (whatever form it takes – from building a company through painting a picture to developing a vaccine) is an imperative in all of us so, I would argue, we're stifling something essential if we don't give it a go. I like Will Gompertz's stress on finding our own artistic voice because, as he says, it is indeed a question of finding something which is already there in us. Waiting to be discovered.
I wonder what there might be in you that has yet to be fully unearthed. And whether you're going to do something about it.
By the way, it might be worth bearing in mind that psychotherapy can be about removing blocks to creativity and fulfilment!

How Nigel survived and picked up Spanish remains a mystery as does the identity of his trainer, Larry.
Darren Chick's long lost pet parrot Nigel was recently returned to him after he disappeared from his home in Torrance, California back in 2010. The African grey parrot originally spoke with Chick's polished British accent but returned with a Spanish vocabulary.
Julissa Sperling, owner of Happy Tails Dog Spa, found the bird and was charmed by its ability to speak Spanish. Sperling contacted a local veterinarian who traced the microchipped bird back to its original owner.
The Spanish speaking parrot initially bit Chick and kept mentioning some guy named Larry. How Nigel survived and picked up Spanish remains a mystery as does the identity of the Spanish speaking Larry.

            }

The following line not work:
{"ng-model", "dailyInformation.OverTimeFormatted"}
and dailyInformation.OverTimeFormatted doesn't update if I change textbox value !

A: ng-model is not supposed to work within ng-if
Usually you can avoid that with ng-model="$parent.dailyInformation.OverTimeFormatted"

Monitoring COVID-19 patients remotely
By Team YS
Gurugram-based healthtech startup MyHealthcare with its MyHealthcare Home initiative is doing its bit to help by enabling healthcare workers to monitor COVID-19 patients with mild to moderate symptoms remotely.
1 CLAP
India continues its fight against the deadly COVID-19 second wave even as the healthcare system struggles with the overwhelming surge of cases in the second wave.
Choked hospitals, a huge shortage of oxygen, beds, and other medical equipment, and a lack of adequate healthcare workers are forcing companies and startups to think out of the box.
Shyatto Raha, Co-founder and CEO of MyHealthcare, said the main challenge in India in the coming weeks will be the availability of doctors to cater to patient needs.
The healthtech startup — which offers services such as consultation, diagnostics, health monitoring, preventive health, and more — has pivoted to help India fight the pandemic.
Founded in 2017, MyHealthcare works in partnership with hospitals such as Fortis, BLK, and Nanavati for online doctor consultations.
Read about how the Indian startup ecosystem is battling the second wave of COVID-19 here.
Here are some useful tools and links that can help you find the nearest vaccine centres in real-time.
Can technology help bridge the gender gap? Chetna Gala Sinha from the Mann Deshi Foundation, Anuranjita Kumar from WiT, and Dr Rashmi Singh from the Government of Delhi discuss how technology and platforms such as WhatsApp are enabling women to gain financial independence, and a chance to explore new opportunities for growth through wider market access.
Editor's Pick: Product Roadmap
India's agriculture sector contributes 58 percent of employment for the country's population, but the segment has a lot of information asymmetry. Certain that technology could remove this asymmetry, Tauseef Khan and Nishant Mahatre, batchmates at IIT-Kharagpur and IIM-Ahmedabad, launched the Gramophone app in 2016.
The app, which has mapped over 2.5 million acres of agricultural land, helps farmers get personalised agri advice on crops, soil, weather, etc., and functions as a one-stop solution to achieve better crop yields. Read more.

Back in 2020, Abhishek Poddar and Saurabh Arora found a massive gap in the employee health insurance space. The duo realised that most SMEs and startups don't get the right health insurance solutions for their employees.
They felt they could build a tech product in the space given their combined experience. This got the duo to start Plum Insurance in 2020. It is a Bengaluru-based group health insurance startup that works with corporates. Read more.
AIIMS Director Dr Randeep Guleria warned against rushing for CT scan in cases of mild COVID-19, saying it has side effects and can end up doing more harm than good.
The Aayu App, developed by healthcare startup MedCords, delivers medicines and other essential items within two hours. Medicines can also be ordered by uploading a prescription or by just searching the names of the medicines on the app.
The Serum Institute of India will invest 240 million pounds in the UK to expand its vaccine business and set up a new sales office, creating a large number of jobs, Downing Street announced as part of plans for a 1-billion pound India-UK Enhanced Trade Partnership, creating around 6,500 jobs in Britain.

Bury brokers thief spared jail over £20k spree
A FORMER business operations manager who betrayed the Bury company who took him on as an apprentice and helped him rise through the ranks by stealing almost £21,000 has been spared jail.
Lewis Wroe, 26, began working at Blacks Business Brokers in 2013 and fast made an impression on those around him., a court heard.
He was praised for his intelligence and dedication and soon found himself as office manager but found himself in trouble with his mental and physical health, Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court was told.
Between February and April 2019 he made contact with people who owed the company money and told them if they paid it to him he would be able to reduce the amount they were due to pay.
In total he carried out 24 transactions like this, taking more than £20,000 from the company.
Those who employed him spent three months working 12 hours a day, seven days a week to track all the lost money.
When confronted he admitted it was him and confessed when interviewed by the police.
Prosecutor Colin Buckle read from a victim impact statement provided by company director Christopher Rowlands, who spoke highly of the defendant.
"He was employed from 2013, he describes him as enthusiastic and intelligent," said Mr Buckle.
He added that they spent months afterwards checking each others work and had to withdraw bonuses.
Mr Buckle said: "There has been incalculable damage done to this business."
But Mr Rowlands also wrote he could see "any advantage" in jailing Wroe, as he had a young family.
Ellen Shaw, defending, said the family of the father-of-two, who has Crohn's Disease, would be worried if he was sent to jail due to his health problems.
Judge Tina Landale branded his conduct "disgraceful" but opted not to send him to jail.
Wroe, formerly from Tottington but now of Claremont Road, Folkestone, who admitted to theft, was given a 15-month suspended prison sentence, with 15 days of rehabilitation activities and a six-month curfew.
He will also be back in court to establish how much money he can repay in April.
Speaking later, Mr Rowlands said: "I am proud of the professional way all the staff at Blacks dealt with the aftermath of Lewis's actions.
"Now he has been sentenced I hope he will grasp this second chance, reflect on what he has done, and take this opportunity to turn things around for the sake of his family."

The A's avoided a shutout in the top of the ninth, when Rubén Sierra tripled and scored on a single by Baines, but that was all they could muster against Toronto closer Tom Henke. The Jays took the second game and tied the series at a game apiece.

WP: Juan Guzmán (1–0) LP: Ron Darling (0–1) Sv: Tom Henke (2)
TOR: Roberto Alomar (1), Candy Maldonado (1)
The series shifted to Oakland for Game 3, as Juan Guzmán took the hill for the Jays while Ron Darling toed the rubber for the A's. Toronto struck in the second, when Winfield reached on an error by Athletics' third baseman Carney Lansford, moved to third on a wild pitch by Darling, and scored on a single by Candy Maldonado. Roberto Alomar hit a solo home run in the fourth to give the Jays a 2–0 lead, but in the bottom half of the inning the A's tied the game with RBI base hits by Baines and Steinbach.
However, the very next inning, Maldonado hit a solo homer of his own, and after Oakland manager Tony La Russa gave Darling the hook in the seventh, the Jays added two unearned runs due to an error by Lance Blankenship and a triple by Lee, making it a 5–2 game. Although the A's cut Toronto's lead down to a run, the Jays tacked on single runs in the eighth and ninth. Henke retired the Athletics in order in the ninth, giving Toronto a 7–5 victory and a 2–1 edge in the series.

WP: Duane Ward (1–0) LP: Kelly Downs (0–1) Sv: Tom Henke (3)
TOR: John Olerud (1), Roberto Alomar (2)
For the fourth game, Toronto threw Morris against Oakland's Bob Welch. In the second inning, Olerud tagged Welch for a solo homer to give the Jays the lead. However, the Athletics came back in a big way with a five-run third and tacked on another run in the sixth when Sierra doubled Rickey Henderson home, giving Oakland a seemingly secure 6–1 advantage. In the top of the eighth, however, La Russa pulled Welch, who had been cruising along, and went to his bullpen. The Jays capitalized by scoring three runs off hits by Joe Carter, Olerud, and Maldonado, cutting the A's lead to 6–4.
In the top of the eighth, La Russa turned to Eckersley to shut down the Jays. Eckersley had given up two of Toronto's three runs in the previous innings, but La Russa decided to stay with his best closer. Devon White led off with a triple to left. Roberto Alomar was up next, and he hit a high line drive to right field that disappeared behind the wall for a game-tying two-run home run. This turned out to be a crucial point of the series, as it forced the game into extra innings and gave the Jays a chance to win.
Indeed, in the top of the eleventh, Toronto came through. Derek Bell walked, moved to third on a Maldonado single, and came home on a sacrifice fly by Borders to give the Jays a 7–6 lead. Henke shut the door on the A's in the bottom of the inning, handing Toronto a 3–1 series lead.
Monday, October 12, 1992 at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum in Oakland, California
Oakland 2 0 1 0 3 0 0 0 X 6 8 0
WP: Dave Stewart (1–0) LP: David Cone (1–1)
TOR: Dave Winfield (2)
OAK: Rubén Sierra (1)
Game 5 pitted Toronto's Cone against Oakland's Stewart. In the bottom of the first, Sierra cracked a two-run home run off Cone, and the next inning an error by Cone proved costly as Henderson got on base and then scored on a single by Jerry Browne. Although Winfield broke the shutout with a homer off Stewart in the fourth, the unearned runs continued to hurt the Jays, as the A's added three runs in the fifth (only one of which was earned) for a 6–1 lead. Toronto managed only one more run in the seventh when White singled Gruber home, and Stewart went the distance as the Athletics took a 6–2 victory and cut the Jays' advantage in the series to 3–2.
Wednesday, October 14, 1992 at SkyDome in Toronto, Ontario
Toronto 2 0 4 0 1 0 0 2 X 9 13 0
WP: Juan Guzmán (2–0) LP: Mike Moore (0–2)
TOR: Joe Carter (1), Candy Maldonado (2)
The series came back to Toronto for Game 6, with Guzmán going against Moore. In the bottom of the first, the Jays took a lead they would never relinquish, as White reached on an error by Henderson and scored on a homer by Carter, making it 2–0. In the third, Olerud lashed an RBI double and Maldonado followed with a three-run shot, extending the advantage to 6–0. McGwire put Oakland on the board in the sixth with a single that scored Sierra, but the A's could only manage another run against the Jays. In the ninth, Henke took the mound and induced a flyout from Sierra to end a 9–2 win, making Toronto the first non-U.S.-based team to win a pennant in Major League history.

Broadcasting notes
CBS' coverage of the 1992 ALCS led to conflicts with the presidential debates that year.[7] CBS did not cover one of the debates because Game 4 of the series went into extra innings. By the time it ended, the debate was almost over. Over the course of Game 2, Jim Kaat was stricken with a bad case of laryngitis.[8] As a result, Johnny Bench had to come over from the CBS Radio booth and finish the game with Dick Stockton as a "relief analyst."[9] There was talk that if Kaat's laryngitis did not get better, Don Drysdale was going to replace Kaat on TV for Game 3 while Bench would continue to work on CBS Radio. Locally, the series was called on CJCL-AM in Toronto by Tom Cheek and Jerry Howarth and KSFO-AM in Oakland by Bill King, Lon Simmons, and Ray Fosse.
The A's would go into a slump beginning in 1993, from which they would not recover until the Moneyball era, nearly a decade later.

There is a lot of talk about empathy these days. Talk about design based on empathy and businesses having and supporting empathy with employees.
Somewhere along the lines I missed the change in the definition of these two words.
I looked up definitions, articles, videos and talks in sympathy and empathy. There seems to be many definitions.
My son was born with empathy. He always could feel your emotions and would react almost as a reflection.
My daughter was born with natural sympathy. She instinctually knew what you needed and how to take care of it.
With the current definitions that people are using I have lost the word that describes feeling someone else's emotions. My daughter now has empathy and my son has ???
The definition of sympathy seems to have morphed into the definition of pity.
So during this process of looking up definitions I learned a lot.
Wow. That sure sounds obvious. If you have more to decide from it takes longer to make a decision.
Specifically Hick's law determined that with a list of equal choices that are ordered logically, the time to search and find the item of interest increased logarithmically (not linearly).
So if you want a person to make a decision quickly, consider the number of choices that you expose.
Best way to teach is to do and review.
While listening to a fireside chat by Ken Exner the GM of builder tools at Amazon, he was taking about bringing his teams up to speed. While there does exist some basic, standard training classes, Ken mentions a better way. The best way to teach is to do and review.
Give a person an assignment. Have them do the work and then review with them. Experts ensure the learning and the company way by spending the time reviewing and teaching. The teams do the work, not the architecture or security experts.
I love how he plays the cello strapped over his shoulder.
This is the kind of tune that gets stuck in your head.
If we ask do you want this option, we will spend a lot of time convincing you or changing the option to match. Or you will just say no.
If we give you 2 or 3 choices, you will more likely choose an option.
With three options in the following manner, you will pick one of the following and it is likely to be 2 or 3 (a little behavior economics is occuring here – see Dan Ariely).
Fortune is things that are out of your control. I'm fortunate to be born in this place in time. I'm fortunate to be healthy.
Chance is something – you have to do something. You have to roll the dice, or you have to buy a lottery ticket, or you have to apply for a job.
Luck is defined as success or failure apparently caused by chance. Apparently – that's the operative word.
A lot of it has to do with taking tiny risks.
It's getting out of your comfort zone.
It's paying attention to things that other people don't pay attention to.
It's talking to people who – where you're going to learn something new.
As a company our key assets are the elite consultants working for our clients.
My value to my clients is my deep expertise in product design and execution with a broad knowledge of around 12 different domains I have worked in.
When do you hide vs disable a control?
The user's role was not given access to the capability.
When creating the user interface the control should be disabled if the state is not ready. If the user or system can change the state of the user interface to get access to the control then it should only be disabled. This provides a little visual indicator to the user that the field is there if the state changes.
However, if the user does not have permissions to access the functionality it should not appear on the screen at all. Why have it there if the user cannot use it at all. The functionality just becomes visual noise.
You run your business line better than anyone else ever has. But you see it all the time. These little startups come from nowhere and eat your lunch.
Innovation is great in concept but you know that you cannot risk a big change and negatively impact your current business line.
What should you do? How do you manage the risk but still innovate?
Consider making many small bets.
Don't just do product innovation. Anyone can do that. You can do ten types of innovation.
The Ten Types of Innovation: The Discipline of Building Breakthroughs – by Larry Keeley is a fabulous book. It helps you and your organization reframe the scope of your effort to something that will provide the most impact.

National campaign to clean up Aqaba's beaches
Aqaba's beaches are getting a clean with 400 divers of the military and civil authorities were set to join a national campaign today.
Aqaba Tourism and Economic Development Commissioner, Shurahbeel Madi said that this campaign is the first-of-its-kind, where a large number of members of the Jordanian Armed Forces (JAF), the Civil Defense Directorate (CDD), the Royal Jordanian Navy, civil society organizations, diving centers and volunteers will help in cleaning up Aqaba's beaches from plastic waste.
Divers deployed on the shore of the Gulf of Aqaba today and started cleaning the beach, collecting plastic waste in bags and putting them in one place in order to transfer them to the landfill after they are sorted out.
The goal of this campaign is to raise awareness about the damages of the use of single-use plastics and introducing practical and sustainable alternatives.
People are not aware of this issue, but each one of us must realize that "the plastic we use ends on our tables," Madi said, explaining that plastic takes at least 100, 000 years to disintegrate and move to marine life and therefore we eat fish that feed on plastic.
Madi called on people not to throw waste in the sea, the most important of which is plastic waste, which harm marine life.

The purchase of thoroughbred horses, either privately or at public auction, at one stage in their lives and reselling them at another stage for profit is considered a pinhook. Spruce Lane Pinhook has an annual weanling (thoroughbreds less than 1 year old) to yearling (thoroughbreds that are 1 year old) pinhook partnership. We begin with purchasing young thoroughbreds from the months of November through January. After we buy, we will turn them out at Mike and Natanya McMahon's Spruce Lane Farm to mature through the winter and spring. Beginning in early summer the horses will enter sales preparation with an exercise and feed program to aid with their development into athletes. Our goal is to place each horse in a yearling sale that will optimize their profitability based on their pedigree and physical conformation.
Similar to our Bourbon Lane Racing Stable, we invest in each pinhooking LLC at the same level as our partners.
The Spruce Lane Pinhooking Partnership is our annual investment in young thoroughbreds. Starting in November we purchase weanlings to resell as yearlings. This is a great entry point for those interested in exploring the thoroughbred industry through a relatively stable investment that has a long history of providing strong financial returns.
We keep our partners up to date throughout the investment term with pedigree updates, general sire news and state of the industry insights. Additionally, you will recieve photos and reports on their progress as they mature. We continue to monitor all of our graduates throughout their careers both on and off the race track.
After renovations and construction of numerous large paddocks, barns, and a 60' round pen , the farm is a perfect fit for the Spruce Lane Pinhook yearlings. The horses start in large groups and are separated off into pairs and then singles. Walking begins 90 days before the targeted yearling sale and after progressing to 40 minutes of walking exercise per day, 6 days per week, the round pen work commences. This is followed by ponying and swimming if necessary.
Our goal for the yearlings is to develop a smart, relaxed, physically sound and fit horse who is ready for tack and the track. Our boutique setting and high human to horse ratio and low horse to acre ratio make Spruce Lane Farm a favorite among buyers looking for the special hands on, natural approach. We invite your visit!

This Island CD
New York City's Le Tigre's collaboration is a deliriously addictive, hybrid sound the band calls "feminist punk electronic music." It's a mix of drum-machine samples, synth hooks, buzzing guitar loops, gang vocals, and foolproof bass-lines. Le Tigre's roots go all the way back to a Bikini Kill show in Portland, Oregon: Johanna, in the audience, was impressed and intrigued, and approached Kathleen to give her a copy of her feminist art zine, Snarla. The two became fast friends, and when Kathleen moved to New York soon after producing her first solo venture, Julie Ruin, she asked to Johanna to help her produce it for the stage. The two ended up writing new songs altogether, along with their friend video-maker Sadie Benning. Shortly after the release of Le Tigre's self-titled debut, Sadie left the band to pursue her art career, and JD Samson, formerly a technician/roadie with the band, became a full-fledged member of Le Tigre. Interview said of their third album, "This Island is that rare thing: a party record that ventures from driving political rockers to melodic post-punk dance anthems."


The sacrificial work of Christ was a one-time-event on the cross. The wrath of God has been satisfied, and there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
The sacrifice of our Lord, highlighted and emphasized in the celebration of communion, elicits praise to our praiseworthy God.
When we say God is sovereign, we mean that nothing trumphs Him, his purposes can never be thwarted. His power is absolute, and nothing catches Him off guard. This is the ultimate statement of confidence, for who would not worship a God like this?
Sometimes as Christians we have to say things that no one wants to hear. And it is at times like that when our mettle is proved. Rarely are we warned ahead of time. Are we ready to stand? The proof is in the pudding.
A jaded Christian is an oxymoron. Anything that is hurtful to God must hurt us as well. We must not become so self-protective that we are not emotionally impacted by rebellion against God. And any such identification pleases God.
Certain men and women hear from God at key times, and see with eyes that are unimpeded by the smog of culture. David Wells is one such person worth listening to.
We like thinking of God as merciful. We are very uncomfortable thinking of him being wrathful, of calling us to account for sin and rebellion. But as it turns out, God's justice is a combination of both mercy and wrath.
