Nikon D610 vs Canon 6D: best full frame DSLR on a budget
By Ian Evenden , Rod Lawton published 19 November 14
12 things you need to know to help you choose between the two top budget full frame DSLRs
Both these full frame cameras have become very affordable, but which is best?
A full frame DSLR is the dream camera for most photography enthusiasts. You get double the sensor size of a regular APS-C DSLR and this gives super-smooth tonality, low noise and great depth of field effects.
You can get all the latest camera reviews and news on the Techradar Camera Channel home page, but you might have missed the Nikon D610 review and the Canon 6D review because the Nikon was launched a year ago and the Canon is two years old. This means both are well into their product life cycle, but this is often the best time to buy expensive technology – as the prices prove, because both cameras are now 30% cheaper than when they were launched.
Full frame DSLRs are expensive, even the entry-level models. The Nikon D610 was launched in October 2013 at a price of £1,800/US$2,000/AU$2,300. Its budget full frame rival, the Canon EOS 6D, arrived a year earlier in September 2012, at a price of £1,800/US$2,100/AU$2,400. Back then, both cost around twice as much as a top APS-C format enthusiasts DSLR.
So both are now several hundred pounds/dollars cheaper – almost within spitting distance of a top APS-C camera. But even if a full frame DSLR is now an affordable option, which one do you choose? Here's a blow-by-blow comparison of the Nikon D610 vs Canon 6D.
01 Sensor
Both cameras have full frame sensors that are the same size as a frame of 35mm film – 36 x 24mm (actually, the Nikon's is 35.9 x 24mm, but that's not enough to make any difference). Both sensors have regular anti-aliasing filters to prevent moiré effects – the trend for removing them to improve fine detail rendition hasn't reached this part of the market yet.
Their megapixel ratings are broadly similar: The Nikon D610 has 24.3 megapixels, while the EOS 6D has 20 megapixels. The Nikon has a small advantage, then, but it's not particularly significant – other factors will be just as important.
03 Autofocus
The D610 has a Multi-CAM 4800 sensor, with 39 autofocus points, of which nine are the more sensitive cross type. This is quite a low number for the Nikon range – the next model up, the D750, has 51 AF points, with 15 cross-type.
Even so, the D610 looks like it should walk all over the Canon 6D in this area because the Canon has just 11 AF points, with only the central point being cross type. There's not much difference in terms of coverage though, because both cameras cluster their points tightly at the centre of the frame, so the benefit of the Nikon's extra points is lessened a bit.
The 6D does have a card up its sleeve, though: its central point is super-sensitive, working in a quarter as much light as the D610.
However, Nikon's camera can autofocus with lens/teleconverter combinations that have a maximum aperture of f/8, while the 6D AF bottoms out at f/5.6, despite that super-sensitive AF point in the centre.
04 ISO range
It's an easy win for Canon in the sensitivity area. The D610's native ISO range is 100-6400, expandable to 50-12800. The EOS 6D's native range is 100-25,600, two stops higher, and can be expanded to 50-102,400, which is two further stops on the high end.
05 Shutter speeds
Shutter speed ranges are identical, with both cameras able to take exposures as long as 30 seconds (without using Bulb mode) all the way to 1/4000 of a second at their fastest. Burst rates are similar, with the D610 capable of 5.5 frames per second and the 6D managing 4.5. Neither are action specialist cameras, but the figures are respectable and the Nikon has the edge.
06 Viewfinders
The Nikon just edges it here, too. Both cameras use an optical pentaprism, but the D610's shows a 100% view compared to the 6D's 97%. This means you may rarely find something in the extreme edge of a 6D photograph you didn't expect, as the viewfinder doesn't show the whole scene being captured. Having said that, the difference is small so you might not even notice.

Scratching the discs: evaluating alternative hypotheses for the origin of the Ediacaran discoidal structures from the Cerro Negro Formation, La Providencia Group, Argentina

Journal: Geological Magazine , First View
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 03 May 2021, pp. 1-18
In the Ediacaran marine succession of the Cerro Negro Formation (Tandilia System, NE Argentina), abundant microbially induced sedimentary structures indicate general conditions of substrate biostabilization. Numerous discoidal structures in this succession were previously interpreted as moulds of soft-tissue holdfasts of sessile organisms, within the form genus Aspidella. In this study, we performed a detailed re-analysis of some of these features and discuss two alternative hypotheses to explain their genesis: (1) as the result of soft-sediment deformation and fluid injection structures; and (2) as structures of active animal–sediment interaction (i.e. trace fossils). We show that the dome-shaped discs are internally laminated, with a cylindrical to a funnel-shaped vertical tube at their central region. The presence of these downwards vertical extensions and other intricate internal arrangements cannot be explained under the taphonomic spectrum of discoidal fossils, but shows striking similarities to Intrites-like structures and other sand-volcano-like pseudofossils (e.g. Astropolithon). However, some structures are hard to distinguish from vertical dwelling burrows with funnel-shaped apertures and thick-lined walls, commonly produced by suspension- and detritus-feeding invertebrates (e.g. Skolithos isp., Monocraterion isp. and, less likely, Rosselia isp.). Since reliable age constraints are unavailable, and further investigation concerning other palaeobiological indicators is needed, the most parsimonious hypothesis is that of a structure derived from fluid-escape processes. Our study demonstrates the importance of detailed investigation on discoidal structures in either upper Ediacaran or lower Cambrian strata.

Looking Back on Octopussy: part 7
To help celebrate what is nearly an incredible 40 years since the premiere of Octopussy, Roger Moore's sixth smash-hit adventure as Ian Fleming's iconic secret agent James Bond, the JBIFC have in the last few weeks made available six edited extracts from an on-set report we first published in the club's 007 magazine back in 1983.
At the time of publication, the article was the first detailed on-set report to appear from the new movie, and proved to be very popular with 007 aficionados across the UK and elsewhere.
Here is a seventh set of extracts, with some additional comments restored from the unedited original article.
'On Location in Peterborough', from: 007, vol.1, no.12, January, 1983.
The Second Unit Filming from September 13th to October 27th.
The main Octopussy filming at the NVR near Peterborough was from September 6th to September 12th, 1982, and then the Main Unit and principal actors flew off to India for their next round of location filming. During the following weeks at the NVR the stunt men took over, and action scenes and background shots were taken. Filming ran over schedule and lasted longer than planned due to some bad weather which descended on the area in October.
I managed to get down to Wansford station quite a few times during these weeks, although as time ticked by there was progressively less to see and witness. During the week starting September 13th, everyone involved in the local filming seemed to think filming would only take another 2-3 weeks.
While in Peterborough town centre on the 13th, I was surprised to see the job-centre was advertising for extras to be Russian soldiers. How ironic this seemed after all the job applications the local EON location manager had received a few weeks earlier. Many extras had obviously dropped out after the first week's filming. In fact, some had left after the Thursday 9th September filming at Ferry Meadows, because on the very next day, Friday, EON had sent people around to some local Peterborough pubs appealing for extras to act as soldiers! A friend of mine on holiday from college had been sitting in a pub with two others on a Friday night. He volunteered and was taken on for a day's work on the Saturday. I also knew at least two other former schoolfriends who took on work as extras, playing Russian soldiers.
When I went down to Wansford during the second week of filming many of the familiar faces I had got to know amongst the extras had gone and a new group of fresh faces were involved in the scenes.
More footage was taken on the railway level-crossing at Wansford, with a camera mounted on Orlov's Volga command car. The car would drive on to the crossing and the camera filmed Russian soldiers running from their guard duty at the station and on to the track. They then open fire at Bond's Mercedes car as it escapes up the track towards the bridge over the river. Steven Berkoff as Orlov also returned to do some more scenes, and I also spied his stand-in being used, too.
Filming also moved on to the car park next to Wansford Station. Luckily, the weather that particular week was excellent, although some of the extras dressed up as Russian soldiers did swelter at times in their uniforms. The car park scenes were very enjoyable. A stunt-team consisting mainly of French stunt artists arrived to assist in the filming, and french Roger Moore stand-in (strangely he even had the habit of raising one eyebrow!) carried out stunt driving sequences in the Mercedes used by Bond. The car would speed past Octopussy Circus workers (with the distinctive red Octopussy logo on the back of their jackets), who were loading circus equipment, and hit a ramp, making it turn over on to one side and on to one pair of wheels (similar to the famous stunt in Diamonds Are Forever) and run along at speed, narrowly missing other workers and soldiers. The French stunt-Bond had to practice this many times. In the film, of course, it will look hair-raising, but there is a nice trick: the Mercedes had a special small wheel attached to its side to help it run along on two wheels only.
There were some tense moments at times when it seems the Mercedes was running off course, but the French stunt driver was very confident and natural all the time and acted as if he did the stunt every day along the highways of France! He seemed oblivious to danger, but then I reminded myself that he was a professional stunt man and it was his job to take risks (although, as Bob Simmons had told me in our conversation during the first week of filming at the NVR, all stunts were carefully assessed for risks well before they were actually undertaken).
As the weeks went by, I worked out the sequence of the car stunts. Bond gets into a Mercedes to escape from his situation and also, in pursuit of the Octopussy train, drives at speed through the car park, knocking barrels over and soldiers out of the way. The Mercedes hits a wooden circus ramp and turns over on to its side and carries on, narrowly missing some of the circus workers (the usual looks of amazement and open mouths) and then falls upright on to its belly again. An army truck full of soldiers drives on to the car park and soldiers jump out firing their guns.
Bond turns away from the car park exit because of the soldiers and, instead, smashes through another, the tyres shredded by some spikes on the ground as it does so. It gets on to the road and then on to the railway line and speeds off towards the railway bridge, leaving a trail of spectacular sparks. On the bridge Bond sees a train coming towards him, but obviously escapes. He climbs out of the car as it runs along the rails in parallel with the Octopussy train and leaps on to the train he is pursuing, a split-second before the Mercedes is hit by another train coming in the opposite direction. The wrecked Mercedes is tossed off the bridge into the river down below, and it falls onto a small boat which tow fishermen had been sitting in just seconds before.
This ties in with the scenes the First Unit shot on Tuesday, 7th September, with Walter Gottell on the riverbank – the car was fished out by a crane and put on to the river bank for inspection by soldiers.
General Gogol (Gottell) and his assistant then lands in his helicopter (an ear-splitting moment for me!); it comes down on a grassy area located on the riverside embankment, and goes on to inspect the car and retrieve the contents of the car-boot. Gogol is clearly not happy at what he finds.
When I was at the car park watching filming of the car stunts during the second week I realised how close cooperation has to be on a set during location filming. There had to be a great deal of patience between the French speaking stuntmen and what the English film unit members wanted. I managed to get some excellent views of the stunts because of some raised ground next to the car park where the cameras were also set up, and where most of the extras and film unit sat while new 'takes' were set up. There were hardly any of the public around; the attraction of watching events as they unfolded had probably worn off for most people because the main filming had been completed and there were no longer any 'stars' around to fill up the autograph books.
For dedicated aficionados like me, however, patiently waiting between takes and watching the stunts as they progressed was pure joy. Sometimes the Mercedes veered right off course and seemed to head straight for the main camera. At other times the car became stuck on its side and had to be pushed over on to its four wheels again. The local Peterborough Evening Telegraph newspaper kept an eye on the stunts. On September 18th it published a small piece entitled 'Hair raising stunts down the line', briefly describing the car stunts and showing a series of photos of the Mercedes narrowly avoiding a circus worker.
The main stunt man at Wansford during much of this Second Unit filming was Martin Grace, who has doubled for Roger Moore before.
It was Grace who drove the Mercedes along the track in parallel with the Octopussy train and lept on to the train, seconds before the car was smashed into the air by an fast train coming in the opposite direction. Grace's leap was probably the toughest stunt of the lot. The Mercedes and the oncoming train did not exactly crash head on, however. It was done in three stages.
A large catapault was set up behind some bushes on the embankment below the railway and it tossed the Mercedes over the bows of the train. Another car was used for the shot where it drops into the river. (The supply of Mercedes was no problem – all in all there were about nine identical Mercedes around the site at Wansford for the film, some of which were stored in the railway car park, which gave me some nice photos).
It was often a long time waiting for the stunts to be set up but well worth the wait when they finally went ahead. The local Peterborough Evening Telegraph on September 24th announced 'It's that old black Mercedes magic…' and published two photos of the car flying across the train's bows and also some images of the car park stunt sequence. The next series of scenes primarily involved Martin Grace, who was dressed in the circus knife-thrower outfit and given a Roger Moore wig. The cameras were mounted on a tulip crane on the train and Martin was filmed as Bond carrying ou the dangerous roof-top stunts on the Octopussy train carriages. As the train moves along at speed Bond has to climb from the side of the train and get on to the roof, then run along in the usual Bond cat-like way, leaping between carriages.
Unfortunately, an accident occurred during filming for this sequence (you may have seen the report in the national press), where Grace was clinging on to the side of the carriage. Grace did the stunt once while it was filmed from a helicopter, but then, on another occasion, as he swung down the side as planned, and as the train went over the bridge, he hit a concrete post at the side of the track. His feet came out of the special stirrups but he managed to hold on with his hands until the train ground to a halt. I really felt for Martin, as he was clearly a consummate stunt man, professional in every way and devoted to his job. I had spoken to him a couple of times while he had stood on top of the train carriage, waiting for new takes to be set up. He was friendly and patient. Martin was taken to Peterborough hospital and was later transferred to the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital in Middlesex. (Somebody tipped off the national press about the incident).
By October 9th all the border-post set at Ferry Meadows station had been removed and I had grown so used to seeing it there that the place seemed bare afterwards. Parts of the set were transported to Wansford Station for temporary storage. The Gutenfurst signs used at Ferry Meadows lay around at Wansford for a while, and gradually the various Karl-Marx-Stadt signs at Wansford were also taken down, too. (The German telephone kiosk by the car park became something of a joke – quite a few people tried to use it, thinking it was real, especially during the first week of Main Unit filming!).
In mid-October there were rumours that Roger Moore would be returning for some more filming but then this was ruled out.
The Second Unit concentrated on getting a series of shots for back-projection purposes i.e. the area all around was photographed, then Roger Moore will be filmed with this in the background during further (interiors) filming for the train sequences at Pinewood Studios. Such is the magic of the movies!
Bad weather, including some typical English grey clouds and rain, then put the Second Unit filming behind schedule; they had to stay much longer than originally planned. Some further stunt work was conducted on the tops of the train carriages (see photo). By October 26th, the last scenes were shot by Vistavision cameras of a train coming out of Wansford tunnel. Two red box-cars were then despatched to Pinewood Studios and film will be turned while Bond fights on the wagon roof areas.
Filming at the NVR's Wansford Station finally finished on October 27th, 1982. It is not yet certain how much of the material shot will be used. Peterborough's encounter with the world of James Bond had ended, and I had enjoyed every moment and every single day. I will treasure these memories for years to come.

School faces controversy over students opting out of state testing
Julia Qiao and Soumya Jhaveri
Palo Alto High School juniors and seniors face a decision this week: take the state Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium and California Science Test to help school analyze their progress or opt out of the testing and sleep in an extra two hours.
According to the SBAC website, the assessment is aimed to challenge students to think more critically about subjects and apply their learning to real-world applications. The tests are aimed to provide data on the school and district's overall performance, allowing administration to understand the general student population's abilities and information to "help students succeed in school and after."
Seniors are taking the California Science Test, which is a state test to measure whether schools are meeting federal as well as state science standards, the California Department of Education's website says.
95 percent attendance is required for the tests for the scores to count, according to Edsource.org. Students are highly encouraged by administration to attend the tests in order for the state and school to glean information from the results. As of Monday noon, 484 out of the 499 juniors were scheduled to take the test, according to room assignments posted on Monday morning; however, this number does not include students who opted out today.
Many students who decided to opt out explained that they saw the extra days as an opportunity to catch up on work and sleep a few extra hours.
"I personally decided not to take the test because this week happens to be a very busy for me with Campanile production and multiple tests and projects in my classes, and I would rather use the extra hours allotted for the test to do homework, study or get more sleep," junior Ashley Zhang said.
Junior Varun Dutta echoed this sentiment, stating that he does not believe this testing is useful enough to give up sleep.
"I decided not to take it because I want to sleep in," Dutta said. "The test doesn't make a difference in my education quality while sleeping affects [my] ability to pay attention in class."
Some students who plan to take the test say their parents required them to or were not formally excused yet because they have not turned the forms.
"I wanted to opt out, but my parents believe it's my duty as a Paly citizen to do my part and take the tests and so they refused to sign a letter to excuse me," junior Kesi Soundararajan said.
The administration sees the test as a way for the school district to see how well their students are performing. Paly math teacher Daniel Nguyen explains that not only is it the student's duty to their school, but their participation is vital to helping understand the academic rigor at Paly.
"With students taking all sorts of different classes, the CAASPP provides a low-stakes way to measure student knowledge," Nguyen said. "The data from this test help us accurately answer questions such as which of our students are being underserved and how can we best teach them. The testing is similar to voting in it's important for each person to participate even if it doesn't seem like their single data point will make a difference."
In an emailed statement to The Paly Voice, Palo Alto Unified School District Superintendent Dr. Max McGee weighed in on the testing, stating that those who opt out may perpetuate a negative image of Palo Alto schools.
"On one hand, a large percentage of opt-outs reflect poorly on the school and the district," McGee said. "It can contribute to the perception that 'the rich are different' and that as a relatively wealthy and successful school district we do not have to be bothered to demonstrate that we are willing to be measured by standards that apply only to others."
McGee highlights the negative image the lack of participation may cast on the larger community.
"In other words, it contributes to a narrative of entitlement, which is in stark contrast to our mission, goals, and vision," McGee said. "Entitlement is something I disdain and so yes, it bothers me when so many students opt out of the tests.That said, I don't think most students opt out because they feel entitled to do so."
According to McGee, the large percent of students that opt-out of tests can send a strong message to the state to make the test relevant to high schoolers.
"On the other hand [rather than send the message that PAUSD is entitled], a large percentage of opt-outs sends a message to the state to make the tests matter to the students and not just to schools, districts and the state," McGee said. "The test has to be relevant to our high school juniors. Period."
He offered a suggestion about how to remedy this situation to benefit both the state and students, referencing a similar dilemma he faced as State Superintendent of Illinois in 2000.
"We heard from high school principals that kids were not taking the tests seriously and participation was becoming a problem, despite that back then and there it was mandatory," McGee said. "So what we did in Illinois was to incorporate the ACT into the state test so every high school junior had a free ACT test. Students took it seriously, participation increased, and the kids did better … several even discovered that they were actually 'college material!' Illinois now uses the SAT in the state test, and I would love to see California do the same."
According to McGee, these tests provide the state and school with important information but they need to be adapted to be more relevant to students.
"If we are going to have large scale tests, let's be sure that they matter to those who matter most -— our students," McGee said.
For students taking the test, testing will always start at 8:25 a.m. in the morning. Juniors will be testing from Tuesday through Thursday, while seniors will be taking their science test on Thursday and Friday. More information about the schedule can be found here.

I grew up in the crc, and am still here, along with my family. I'm married to Daryl, who has a construction business. I had a cpa license for 10 or so years, then I added EX to the front, and MOM to the back, so now I'm an EX CPA, MOM =). I am MOM to Duncan(12), Ian (8) and Samantha (6). Our family also owns a raspberry farm, and in the summers we get to work out there.
Several years ago, the LORD re-opened up the eyes/ears of my heart to see/hear Him again. This was a profound change in my faith and walk with Him, making my relationship with Him much more personal, and discovering the "secret place" (Ps. 91:1 NKJV) with Him. That caused me to pursue listening prayer, which is something I've realized is not a strong point in our denomination. I'm praying God will be gracious and teach us this amazing gift, He designed for us, His children. I love to spend time in prayer, worship, reading His Word and lots of books based on His Word. and I love to share and have conversations with others, discussing our faith and what God is doing. I would love to see the crc understand "high praise" (Ps. 149:6 NKJV as one reference) I would love to see the crc eagerly pursue the Spirit given gift of prophecy, not just acknowledge it. (I Cor. 14:1) I would love to see the crc embrace fasting more intentionally as a practice (Matt. 6:16...when (not if) you fast) I am excited and encouraged with the prayer summit being planned for this April, and hope I will be able to be there.
The editorial linked to below mentions "prophetic" in some form 2 times. I also heard this word being used at synod in various discussions. I'm interested in what you think this might mean.
What Exactly is High Praise?
Several years ago, I heard the concept "high praise" at a prayer gathering, and it was the first time I could remember that I had heard that term, at least the first time it registered. I tucked that thought in the back of my mind and, every once in a while, would reflect on it.
The LORD put the song "O Church Arise" on my heart several times over the last year as I pray about our (the Church's) role in bringing love and healing to a very broken world.
Ok, I had shared part of a testimony as a reply under the first "listening prayer" posting ... what was interesting timing is that very day when I wrote this 2nd part, I later ran into the cantata director to get his permission to share his part in it.
wow, i'm in tears... how can it be heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time... by the love and grace of God... thank You Lord!

New risks and opportunities for fishing industry with climate change

Can global warming leave us without fish, and fishermen without an income? Or does the new climate come with new opportunities? Here, in Italy, and across Europe, scientists and fishermen are looking for answers.
Ettore Malfer has been fishing on Lake Garda all his life. In the past, there were plenty of eels and endemic carpione fish (similar to trout). Now, he says, they've almost disappeared. He doesn't know why, but he suspects that this may have something to do with the changing climate which is harming the lake.
Malfer said, "I started fishing right after my elementary school, I was seven or eight, and now I'm over 80".
"About 30-40 years ago we had four distinct seasons — spring, summer, autumn, and winter," Malfer added, and "Nowadays it's all become very confusing — winters aren't as cold as they used to be, and summers are way too hot."
To find answers, Lake Garda fishermen are working with scientists collaborating in a European research project ClimeFish that studies the effects of climate change on fishing and aquaculture.
The local fishermen cooperative, which has 12 fishing boats, is providing some data and samples to the researchers.
Alessandra Mazzola, an Outreach manager at the Garda fishermen cooperative said, "Since we saw a drop in the amount of fish caught, it was very important to work together with the researchers, to give them everything necessary to understand the causes of these changes, and to find possible solutions."
Lake Garda is one of 15 case studies that include freshwater lakes and ponds, marine fisheries and fish farms from all around Europe.
"We've talked to the stakeholders and asked — what do you see as the main challenges in the future?" said Michaela Aschan, the ClimeFish project coordinator, Professor in Fisheries Biology and Management, and at the UiT Arctic University of Norway. "And then we went back to our biologists and modelers and asked them to adjust their models," she added.
Researchers see that the warming climate in Europe is making fish and shellfish grow faster, which may be good news for the industry. But overfishing and other threats are also on the rise.
Mariola Norte, Scientific communicator, CETMAR said, "The main problem the fisheries are facing is the migration of stock to areas further north, especially in the northeastern Atlantic area. We also see that in the case of aquaculture they're facing a greater proliferation of parasites and more diseases."
Based on their analysis, researchers are preparing a set of practical recommendations for policymakers and the industry on mitigating climate change effects. They're also preparing a software tool that helps to manage fish stocks more efficiently.
"We want to present to users' different scenarios that are possible due to climate change. Within these scenarios, we're focusing on possible outcomes — what would happen if parameters change. Having this knowledge, the end users can take appropriate actions," said Astrid Sturm, Computer scientist, Brandenburg University of Technology.
From these sea trawlers in Sweden to innovative aquafarms in the Canary Islands — the changing climate is presenting the whole industry with new risks and opportunities. That makes it important for EU states to review their standards and guidelines protecting fish and supporting the industry.
Michaela Aschan added, "It's up to us as human beings to do proper regulation of the stocks and to agree among each other — and then we will have a good fishery."

Q: App crashes on iPhone 5 I made an app that displays images from an AWS server. It's working fine for iPhone 4 and older but when I run my app on an iPhone 5 the app crashes when running using wifi or 3G connection. I did many tests that show me when I use S3GetObject...
3GetObjectResponse *getObjectResponse = [[AmazonClientManager s3] getObject:getObjectRequest];

UIImage *tampon = [[UIImage alloc] initWithData:getObjectResponse.body];

The app crashes, I don't know if the AWS-SDK is compatible with iOS 6 or not, please help me.

A: Looks like you are using the AWS SDK with Grand Central Dispatch, and calling synchronous getObject: and updating UIs on the same thread. You need to make sure to call getObject: on a background thread, and update UIs on the main thread. Your code should look something like the following:
dispatch_async( dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT, 0), ^{

    for(int i=0;i<ads.count;i++){

        NSString *phot =[ads objectAtIndex:i];
        NSLog(@"hna%@",phot);
        S3GetObjectRequest  *getObjectRequest  = [[S3GetObjectRequest alloc] initWithKey:phot   withBucket:@"olfactifPhoto"];
        S3GetObjectResponse *getObjectResponse = [[AmazonClientManager s3] getObject:getObjectRequest];

        dispatch_async( dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{

            UIImage *tampon = [[UIImage alloc] initWithData:getObjectResponse.body];
            UIImageView *tempImageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:tampon];
            tempImageView.frame = CGRectMake(10,currentXLocation, 300, 310);

            NSLog(@" il est dans la position %f",tempImageView.frame.origin.y);
            self.monImage = tempImageView;

            [scroll addSubview:monImage];
        });
    }

});

A: Based on one of your other questions, it appears you may still be including an older version of the AWS SDK for iOS which had problems with crashing when built for release because of the inclusion of the GTMLogger library.
Please make sure to remove any references to previous versions of the AWS SDK for iOS and also update your projects Framework include path.
You can confirm you are using the latest version of the SDK by logging the value returned from
[AmazonSDKUtil userAgentString]

Q: Symfony 4 : Set trusted proxy on Heroku I'm trying to deploy a secure Symfony 4 application on Heroku.
Since Symfony 4, the front changed. The old Heroku documentation explained how to set the trusted proxies to accept the Heroku load balancer, but since Symfony 4, the method has been changed.
How do you configure your public/index.php to accept Heroku Proxies with Symfony 4?
Thank you.

A: Found it!
Just after the line :
$request = Request::createFromGlobals();

Add :
Request::setTrustedProxies([$request->server->get('REMOTE_ADDR')], Request::HEADER_X_FORWARDED_ALL ^ Request::HEADER_X_FORWARDED_HOST);

LIVE FUTURES REPORT 19/07: SHFE copper up 1.7% amid weaker dollar; zinc down 0.4%
Steelmakers grow US operations, capacity post-Section 232
Fastmarkets AMM reviews five international steel companies that have grown or developed their facilities in the United States following the Section 232 import tariffs - 25% in the case of steel from most countries - announced one year ago.
Liberty Steel USA, a subsidiary of London-based GFG Alliance, has expanded its US presence with the $320-million buy of Keystone Consolidated Industries (KCI) and its subsidiaries.
Dallas-based KCI's assets include a wire rod facility with an electric-arc (EAF) furnace, a bar mill, three welded wire reinforcement mesh facilities and a pre-stressed concrete strand facility.
And Liberty Steel is considering expanding crude steel capacity at its KCI wire rod mill in Peoria, Illinois, by 300,000 tons per year. While crude steel capacity at that mill totals 800,000 tpy, Liberty Steel is "already examining" permit proposals that could raise that to 1.1 million tpy, the company announced in mid-January.
Fastmarkets AMM's assessment of US industrial-quality low-carbon wire rod stands at $38.25-40 per hundredweight, down by 2.8% from $39.25-41.25 per cwt, where that price held from late May 2018 to mid-February 2019. Still, the price is up by 18.6% from $32-34 per cwt one year ago.
Meanwhile, Austrian company Welser Profile GmbH acquired Superior Roll Forming last June. Valley City, Ohio-based Superior features 24 roll forming lines, six in-line radio frequency welding lines, in-line laser welding and spot welding, and can produce spindle sizes from 1-4 inches, strip widths up to 48 inches, thickness up to 0.25 inches, and lengths up to 60 feet, according to its website.
The company supplies roll-formed shapes - including channels, angles and joists, among others - to the aerospace, automotive and construction industries.
Updates and expansions
JSW Steel (USA), a subsidiary of India's JSW Steel, began making steel at its Ohio flat-rolled mill's electric-arc furnace last December. The company had agreed to buy the EAF facility, located in Mingo Junction, for $80.85 million in March 2018.
The Mingo Junction mill has a 1.5-million-ton-per-year capacity EAF, but a hot-strip mill capable of producing 3 million tons per year, the company noted. And JSW Steel USA is considering a potential direct-reduced iron facility, in addition to further downstream capabilities - including pickling capabilities and a cold-mill.
Fastmarkets' US hot-rolled index was calculated at $35.16 per hundredweight ($703.20 per short ton) on March 1. The index had climbed to a near-decade high of $45.84 per cwt in July 2018, but has since fallen 12.2% below the $40.03 per cwt level seen one year ago.
JSW Steel intends to produce 100% US-melted and -manufactured steel in coming years, according to chief executive officer John Hritz.
And Australia's largest steelmaker, Bluescope, plans to add 800,000-900,000 tonnes per year of sheet capacity at its US subsidiary, North Star BlueScope, located in Delta, Ohio.
The company also plans to add a third EAF and a second caster that will boost melt capacity by 1.4 million tonnes at the Ohio mill.
Luxembourg-based Tenaris has a new seamless mill in Bay City, Texas, which may achieve an annualized production rate of 450,000 tons later this year.
Fastmarkets AMM's pricing assessment for US domestic seamless high-collapse P110 casing stands at $1,420-1,470 per ton fob mill. That price reached a high of $1,750-1,8000 per ton in late April 2018, but has since fallen a slight 0.3% below the $1,400-1,500 per ton level seen one year ago.
Tenaris has plans to continue to invest in training and is "researching the application of digital automation and machine learning technology" at the Texas oil country tubular goods mill, which began production in 2017 and has a potential capacity of 600,000 tons per year.

While the ASUS ZenBook Pro UX550VE-DB71T 15.6-inch seems to suffer from some coil whine issues and minor throttling, it still delivers an awesome performance in an attractive case, and is an excellent choice for those looking for a laptop that is suitable for both work and play.
The ASUS ZenBook Pro UX550VE-DB71T 15.6-inch ultrabook has received positive reviews for its excellent build quality and aesthetically-pleasing aluminium case. Users loved its portability and its exceptionally fast performance thanks to the blazing fast 7th generation Intel i7-7700HQ Quad Core 2.8 GHz Processor that is coupled with a whopping 16GB of DDR4 RAM. It comes with a powerful Nvidia GTX 1050Ti that will allow you to run modern games as well as graphically demanding software. Furthermore, considering its powerful components, it has a decent battery life under moderate use that'll last you the day. There were reports of coil whine however, and professional reviewers noted that the CPU and GPU combination leads to throttling of both. Some also found that there is a bit of keyboard flex. All in all, the ASUS ZenBook Pro UX550VE-DB71T 15.6-inch ultrabook is a well-priced notebook that is packed with great components and it is suitable for videographers, photographers and graphics designers, but the CPU and GPU throttling means it doesn't quite reach its full potential.
The latest Zenbook Pro features an updated GeForce GTX 1050 Ti GPU alongside the same i7-7700HQ CPU and NVMe storage (not to mention a touchscreen). How have performance, battery life, and emissions been affected by the updated configuration?
The ZenBook Pro UX550VE is a sleek laptop with strong performance, but you can't get it with a 4K screen, and its speakers are too quiet.
The Asus ZenBook Pro UX550VE enjoys some high-powered components and sports an elegant chassis.

A WOMAN'S WORLD
Michelle Goldberg's piece about radical-feminist views on transgender identity and rights accurately portrays the trans-exclusionary radical feminist movement as fringe ("What Is a Woman?" August 4th). However, as the executive director of Feministing.com, I want to underscore that complaints about lost venues and critical Tumblr posts cannot be adequately understood without hearing from a category of people at the center of the conflict, whose identity is systemically denied. While the trans-rights movement has indeed seen gains in recent years, transgender people, as Goldberg notes, still face disproportional and soaring rates of discrimination and violence, with low-income women and women of color particularly affected. In the first four months of this year, more than a hundred trans people were murdered, according to data compiled by the Transgender Violence Tracking Portal. Much of this violence is fuelled by the same impulses expressed by so-called radical feminists to police gender and dictate the terms of acceptable womanhood. Transgender issues are feminist issues. A feminist who uses hateful logic to deny trans people rights and resources isn't a feminist.
Lori Adelman
Brooklyn, N.Y.
Intelligent voices must speak out on behalf of the legitimacy of femaleness as a fluid, spectral self-identification. I serve as the communications director for the Empire State Pride Agenda. Mainstream society may not yet be fully aware of the heinous acts of discrimination that transgender females face on a daily basis, as targeted victims of hate. Positing that male-to-female trans women hold male privilege, and should therefore be excluded from all-female spaces, as the trans-exclusionary radical feminists so callously do, breathes falsehood into a delicate situation. The plight of transgender women has only recently gained visibility. The truth is, transgender women face very real threats of eviction, unemployment, and verbal or physical attacks precisely because of a perceived, masked maleness that society rejects. Trans women do not enjoy male privilege—their experience is far from it.
Allison Steinberg
Trans people experience repeated harassment and abuse from trans-exclusionary radical feminists. Last year, for instance, a transgender high-school student in Colorado was targeted by conservative groups in a media campaign that lied about her to the extent that she was threatened with violence, and even murder, on social media. The story was disseminated online by trans-exclusionary radical feminists. As a result, she was put on suicide watch. This is typical of the actions I have seen taken by trans-exclusionary radical feminists to silence and bully trans people.
Natacha Kennedy
As a man, and aware that my self-identification as gay is somewhat of a socio-political construct, I wanted to hear what the radical feminists have to say about those who are intersex at birth. According to research by Anne Fausto-Sterling, an expert in biology and gender development, one in 1,666 children is born with neither XX or XY chromosomes—a base for determining gender that is unswayed by social norms. About one in a thousand people gets surgery to "correct" or define his or her birth gender. Do the trans-exclusionary radical feminists comb through an intersex female's medical history, or do they base their decisions on the way a woman presents herself? Gender and gender identity can be complicated, and the transphobic activists are just another sad example of a group marginalizing those who don't fit into a neat box.

RootMusic's BandPage, the most popular musician profile Facebook Page tab application, has just announced an update with new features for both free and paid clients. The new options will allow artists to customize their app, and gate music streams and downloads behind actions including Likes, email signups, and tweets. This lets musicians properly brand themselves, collect valuable contact information, and gain viral exposure through their BandPage.
RootMusic launched BandPage in February 2010 and it has since grown steadily to provide profiles for over 150,000 artists. Now with a total daily active user count of 1.2 million and a monthly active user count of 22.7 million, BandPage is the fifth largest application on Facebook behind several Zynga games and a rather spammy quiz app, according to our application traffic growth tracking service AppData.
The company raised a $2.3 million funding round in January and another $800,000 round in March to help it hire engineers and scale to accomodate its massive traffic. While still the frontrunner in the space, ReverbNation's Band Profile added Like-gating and custom design options to its free Facebook app in in March, which made it a slightly more powerful option than BandPage for those unwilling to pay, until now.
With this update, musicians with a free BandPage Basic account can use the "Tools" button on the right of the app editor to require users to Like their Page to download or stream music. This can be an effective fan acquisition strategy for artists with a strong existing brand or valuable content to offer in exchange for a subscription to their news feed updates.
BandPage Basic account holders can also add an image as the banner of their app and use simple color sliders to control the look of the skeleton of their app — two options that were previously reserved for paying BandPage clients. They can also link their banner to a URL, and add a "Join mailing list" button to the banner. BandPage is now a better free option for managing a Facebook presence than ReverbNation's Band Profile, which doesn't have as sophisticated of gating tools and clutters its interface with too many options.
BandPage Plus clients now have access to these Like-gating and customization options and more. They can require users to sign up for their email list or send a tweet in order to unlock song streams and downloads. This means bands with email or Twitter at the core of their marketing plan can use their Facebook Page to drive engagement through these other mediums instead of worrying about their Like count.
A re-sizeable video player can be made a BandPage Plus client's banner, and two different banners can be shown to fans and non-fans. Musicians could therefore use their non-fan banner to explain that visitors must Like their Page to access their new music video, then reveal the video front and center via the banner to those who choose to become fans.
These updates strengthen BandPage's position as the replacement for MySpace music and the destination for learning about a musician on Facebook. However, many Facebook Pages find that the majority of their engagement occurs through the news feed, not on their Page's tabs. Therefore, going forward RootMusic may need to focus less on the Page and more on its widgets that can be shared to the news feed if it wants to retain its supremacy on Facebook.

Bunce Island
Today, Freetown is a buzzing capital and is lively by day or by night. In Freetown, you can see the sea from almost any point in the city and you are never far away from the beach! The markets in Freetown are colourful and can be noisy as every trader tries to capture your attention, but just like Freetown and Sierra Leone, there's a certain charm to it.
Welcome to Freetown
Home > Sierra Leone Holidays > Freetown
In 1787 the British helped four hundred freed slaves from the United States, Nova Scotia, and Great Britain head to Sierra Leone to settle in what they called the " Province of Freedom." The area was first settled by freed slaves sent from England around the Cotton Tree which was said to have previously been a slave market. Unfortunately disease and hostility from the indigenous population nearly eliminated the first group of returnees.
This settlement was joined by other groups of freed slaves and soon became known as Freetown. In 1792, Freetown became one of Britain's first colonies in West Africa. It is the largest city and also capital of Sierra Leone lying on the peninsula near the Atlantic coast and hosts the third largest natural harbour in the world – Elizabeth II Quay.
Thousands of slaves were returned to or liberated in Freetown. Most chose to remain in Sierra Leone. These returned Africans or Creoles – as they came to be called – were from all areas of Africa. Some of the earliest settlements can be found in the mountain villages of York, Regent, Bathurst, Leicester and Gloucester. From Regent you can walk through creole villages to Charlotte falls and also climb Sugar Loaf Mountain which is one of the highest points on the peninsula. Some fascinating Creole architecture can be found in these areas as well as in downtown Freetown.
Fourah Bay College (pron. frah bay) was established in 1827 in Freetown and rapidly became a magnet for English-speaking Africans on the West Coast. For more than a century, it was the only European-style university in Sub-Saharan Africa. Fourah Bay College (FBC) became known as the "Athens of West Africa" due to a strong focus within its curriculum on learning Greek and Latin and because of the success of its graduates at home and abroad. In addition, FBC attracted students from all over West Africa, particularly British West Africa ( Nigeria, Gambia, and Ghana).
The landscape in Freetown is very hilly and I've heard it described as looking similar to other great landscapes for example the San Francisco Bay Area. In Freetown, you can see the sea from almost any point in the city and you are never far away from the beach!
Today, Freetown is a buzzing capital and is lively by day or by night. In the main city centre and further towards the east is mainly the commercial area although more businesses today are moving towards the west to avoid overcrowding. On a busy day, Freetown echoes with the sound of hooting cars, local traders and passers-by. The west of Freetown is mainly residential and further west (South-West) you will find some of the country's most beautiful beaches.
The markets in Freetown are colourful and can be noisy as every trader tries to capture your attention, but just like Freetown and Sierra Leone, there's a certain charm to it.
At night, Freetown cries out through the speakers of local night clubs and bars. New York is not the only city that does not sleep! Sierra Leoneans love to have a good time and in Freetown you're never far away from an entertainment spot.
Some of Freetown's attractions famous structures include The Cotton Tree, Freetown Law Courts, the Slave Gate and Portuguese Steps, St John's Maroon Church (built around 1820), St George's Cathedral (completed in 1828), Sierra Leone Museum, Foulah Town Mosque (built in the 1830s) ,Sierra Leone Museum (featuring the Ruiter Stone and original drum of Bai Bureh), Victoria Park, creole and colonial architecture, the lively markets and fantastic beaches.

this intriguing system of knowledge.
Master Chiang claimed that he had inherited the 'true' teachings of Master Yang Yun Sung and that he had written a book called 'Debate and Verification of Feng Shui theories'. In this book he criticised the school also known as the eight mansions as being false Feng Shui and subsequently promoted a system called San Yuen or 'flying stars' as the authentic practice.


The 2016 presidential campaign will go down as one of the most divisive in US history. Read what it was like for high school senior, Lilly Hackworth, to vote for the first time during such a contentious race and how she used Facing History and Ourselves to help her navigate such a turbulent political climate.
Students from the Notre Dame High School Facing History Student Leadership Group at their mock election. From L to R: Priscilla Guadarrama, Rabab Karimjee, Emily Vanuy, Jasmine Lee, Mariana Haro, Arshita Sandhiparthi, Lilly Hackworth, and their teacher, Eran DeSilva.
Lilly Hackworth is one of the few students at her school who voted in the 2016 US presidential election. The senior at Notre Dame High School in San Jose, California turned 18 just in time to register to vote.
She's been following elections since she was around 10 years old and quickly picked up on the negative tone of this campaign season.
She saw these personal attacks not only in debates between candidates but also on social media outlets between her peers and other adults. Being a Facing History student helped her navigate political tensions inside—and outside—of the classroom.
She credits Facing History with enhancing her commitment to fighting discrimination and staying civically and politically engaged. By studying genocide and having difficult conversations about indifference and violence in her classrooms, she's learned how to respond in respectful ways to the varying perspectives around her. She was able to apply this to the current political climate.
Most importantly, Facing History taught her she has the agency to take action. She organized a mock student election with her peers in the Facing History Student Leadership Group. The group, which is comprised of different schools, organizes and holds events that raise awareness and advocate for social justice issues.
The mock election was one way she could mobilize those around her to be more civically engaged. She and her peers worked hard recreating the California ballots, designing info-graphics about ballot questions, and handing out voting packets.
They opened it up to the entire school, encouraging all students to get involved politically now so they can be informed when they are finally of legal age to vote.
Participating in a real election for the first time, particularly this one, was exciting to the senior who plans on studying both international relations and computer science when she heads off to college later this year. She sees voting as her civic duty and a way to make her voice heard.
"I really liked the experience," she said. "I thought it was really important and amazing that I could vote and that I could try to be a voice for the people who can't yet vote."
That's why she hopes more young people become politically active sooner and make their voices heard during presidential and midterm elections, which she feels are often overlooked. Looking toward future elections, she hopes candidates will bring their campaigns back to being policy focused instead of centered around personal attacks.
And she hopes people bring empathy back into political conversations.
Inspire young people to take action in their lives with stories from our resource, Choosing to Participate. Focusing on civic choices, this collection of readings and stories helps students understand how the choices they make about themselves and others in their community, nation, and world shape us as individuals in a global society.
