Minnesota Democrat Mayors Endorse President Trump
"Mount Rushmore Fireworks Celebration" (Public Domain) by The White House
Democrat mayors have continued to face criticism over the past several months; this criticism arrives in response to their management of looting, destruction, and anarchy in their cities.
Many Democrat mayors, such as Portland's Ted Wheeler, are refusing to allow federal authorities to come into their cities and stop crime. At best, liberal mayors are making verbal appeals for riots to end while ignoring the fact that members of their communities simply aren't listening.

However, some left-wing mayors appear to be having a change of heart. New information from Townhall confirms that several mayors in Minnesota have broken from their party and endorsed President Trump's re-election.
Why are Minnesota Democrat Mayors Backing President Trump's Re-election?
The group of Minnesota mayors to endorse the president maintain that the Democrat Party has become too radical for their liking. In a joint letter, the Democrat mayors of Virginia, Chisholm, Ely, Two Harbors, Eveleth, and Babbitt explained their endorsement of President Trump in no uncertain words.
Leaders from Democrat cities on the Iron Range of Minnesota ENDORSE @realDonaldTrump & @Mike_Pence!
"Today, we don't recognize the Democratic Party. It has been moved so far to the left it can no longer claim to be advocates of the working class."https://t.co/JkL1uhl8Xf
— GOP (@GOP) August 28, 2020
The letter informed that Biden and other Democrats like him have only enabled job loss, flight from Minnesota, and higher taxes. The Minnesota mayors also lauded President Trump for restoring the economy, reducing taxes, and pushing for reforms that will benefit middle America.
Finally, the Minnesota Democrat mayors branded Joe Biden as out of touch with the needs of Minnesotans, the working class, and America as a whole.
Democrats for Trump?
The Minnesota mayors listed above are far from the only ones to break party rank and endorse President Trump.
Over a year ago, Rep. Jeff Van Drew made headlines after switching from a Democrat to a Republican. During the Republican National Convention, Georgia Democrat Vernon Jones spoke in favor of President Trump and backed his re-election.

For some time now, conservatives have maintained that Democrats are losing the middle. This appears to be accurate. Many self-proclaimed Democrats are criticizing their own party for its establishment and policies that are on the fringe. Others have stated that a very radical Democrat Party will only guarantee President Trump's re-election.
The mass endorsement from several Democrat mayors in Minnesota is a big deal for President Trump's campaign. Some are even speculating that the president may be able to win Minnesota in the general election. At this time, a new poll shows that Trump and Biden are tied in the state at 47% each.
Are you surprised to see more Democrats breaking party rank and endorsing President Trump's re-election campaign? Be sure to let us know in the comments section below!

practical peace
how peace in the moment can make peace in the world
Apr 28, 03:29 pm
I was walking on a city sidewalk the other day and happened to look up. There, silhouetted against the gray sky, a lilac branch held a small head of buds. The flower buds were still tightly furled, the leaf buds open just a crack. I stopped for the briefest of seconds to take it in. A miracle, I thought, the ceaseless turning from bud to flower to death to rest and then bud again.
Later on the radio, I came into the middle of a conversation in which a woman was describing the migration of a 5-ounce bird called a red knot from the Arctic to Tierra del Fuego and back again, a journey of 9,000 miles. I recalled the many stories I have heard of migrating birds, and I was filled with wonder. Another ordinary miracle, I thought.
But then I heard her talk about a particular event that happens on the migration. Each year, in spring, at the highest of high tides that come with the new and full moons, thousands of horseshoe crabs emerge from the water onto the sand in Delaware Bay. She had sat on the beach until just the right moment to see the scurry to lay their eggs and then return to the sea. The whole process was over in less than an hour.
The next morning, she said, that beach was covered as far as she could see in both directions with migrating birds, including red knots, packed so tightly she could not see sand between them. They were stuffing themselves with horseshoe crab eggs, making one of their annual stops to replenish themselves before continuing their flight north.
Horseshoe crabs are ancient creatures. They have survived all the major extinctions including the first, the End-Ordovician, which killed off 85% of the species on the planet. And here, in this intricate dance of chance and adaptation, their profligacy of eggs supports the life of these birds in exactly this way. An extraordinary miracle, I thought.
My heart, my mind—even, it felt like, my body—expanded to an infinity of embrace, something big enough to take this in. And yet this is just one of the nearly infinite extraordinary miracles that make up our earth's living systems and that brought about the emergence of our own human species. I am bowed in awe and gratitude.

Rocks roll onwards to Rovers in Brooklyn
Posted on October 30, 2015 by NY Shamrock SC
It's marathon Sunday in New York and it will be a busy one for the Shamrocks too with games in Queens, Brooklyn and Manhattan where the day will begin early for the women's team.
Struggling Manhattan Kickers will host the Rocks at 9am in East River Park but player/c0-manager Tricia Reed will be taking nothing for granted as the league leading women in green bid to extend their winning streak to seven games.
"We had a good training session on Tuesday to tighten things up on defense," said Reed, "so hopefully we can keep a clean sheet on Sunday. A good win means we will go into the winter break as league leaders so the incentive is there."
Meanwhile, in the first division of the Cosmopolitan Soccer League, fourth-placed Shamrocks face another crucial match-up when they travel to Brooklyn to take on NYC Rovers (Bush Terminal Piers Park – 2pm).
Held at home last week by a dogged CPR outfit, Kevin Grogan's first team are a point ahead of their following two November opponents in the league, NY Athletic Club and Manhattan Celtic, who face each other on Sunday at Travers Island.
Rovers, meanwhile, are having a tough campaign so far, bottom of the table without a victory and having lost to Celtic and Polonia in their previous two games.
"We have had a good week's training," Grogan told NYShamrockSC.com. "We have worked on a few things. The players look focused and hungry for the weekend."
The reserves game – kicking off at 12pm – also has a lot riding on it with both teams tied in third on 12 points. Rovers are in flying form, coming into this one with four victories on the bounce.
With a few new faces added to his squad, reserves boss Stevie Doyle is hoping last week's battling 3-1 win against CPR will kickstart a good run.
"This is our toughest test of the season but I am looking forward to what should be a cracking game," said Doyle. "Both teams have only lost one game so far so I'm predicting it will be a close encounter.
"I'm very proud of the team's performance last week under difficult circumstances but we showed great character and toughness to take all three points. Darren Coleman has been the stand out player this season with his scoring abilities and hit the net again as he has from the get go.
"Paul McDaid hit a brace and he has been in very good form lately. We also welcome back Brendan Lane to the fray who brings quality to the side and Nikle Guzijan returns too although he is not 100%. Our new signings Rory O'Leary, Gary Madden and Gary Dunne have all fit in so well already which is always a big plus."
A depleted Over 30s team will face Guyana Veterans in Randalls Island 90 at 1pm with Paddy Mc Carry's league leaders bidding to maintain a three-point gap over CPR Old Boys at the top.
Guyana have won three in a row and beat Nieuw Amsterdam 3-2 last week to move them to third, keeping them within four points of the Rocks.
"Sunday's game is very important – first v third," said coach Paddy Mc Carry. "We are missing five players for this game so the squad will be used to the fullest on Sunday. But we will still have a very strong 11 out there and I expect to go there and take the three points.
"But no doubt this is a massive game. You must beat the teams up near the top in this league. If you want to be champions, it's all about consistency."
Meanwhile, Shamrocks 1960 will be hoping to bounce back from their 2-0 loss to New York United when they face NY Finest at St Michael's on Sunday at 1pm.
NY Finest have won just won game from their four so far this year but 1960 gaffer Andy Connolly is focused on getting his own side back to winning ways.
"We've witnessed defeat now and found it be an entirely unedifying experience," said Connolly. "The whole squad is galvanized in its determination to return to the glorious path of victory this Sunday. We will offer a display of football to match our off-pitch hyperbole"
The Legends will play three-win SC Gjoa in the curtain raiser at St Michaels at 11am. This will be a special occasion due to the launch of their new set of jerseys sponsored by Joe Connolly and Solas Electric.
"We are looking forward to this one," said coach Emmett Harvey. "Unfortunately we are still carrying some key injuries and we'll be missing the likes of Ducky Kelly, Justin Stanford, Ger Shivnan and Tyrone Kent. But we'll approach the game positively and hopefully we can get a result."

Decisions – Miss.S.Ct. – June 8, 2017
Jane Tucker / June 9, 2017
Marc B. Daniels, Sandra Daniels, Crocker & Associates, Inc. f/k/a D & D Environmental, Inc. and Maxx Investments, LLC v. J. Dennis Crocker, Gail Crocker, Crocker, LTD., A South Carolina Corporation and Generational Equity, LLC – fraud in sale of assets – In 2011, the Danielses entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with the Crockers to acquire Crocker & Associates, Inc., a sales representative firm for manufacturers
of water and wastewater-treatment equipment. Within eighteen months of the sale, C&A lost a number of important contracts and its employees resigned. The Danielses then sued the Crockers for failing to disclose all material information including, for instance, that the Crockers failed to disclose a forty-two-percent drop in C&A's bookings in 2010. The court granted summary judgment for the Crockers. On appeal the court finds that the record contains a genuine issue as to material fact concerning the Danielses' contract claims and negligent and fraudulent misrepresentation claims and reverses summary judgment. It finds that summary judgment was proper on the Danielses'
indemnity and rescission claims and the Danielses' claims, as individuals, fail as a matter of law.
Kelvin D. Ashford v. State of Mississippi – sexual battery/alleged recantation – Kelvin Ashford was convicted on eight counts of sexual battery and two counts of fondling of a girl, N.W., from the ages of nine to fourteen. He dated, on and off, the child's aunt and treated the child like a niece. The child finally left a note for her mother that she was being sexually abused and testing showed she had an STD. on appeal he argues that the court erred in not allowing him to present evidence at sentencing of Facebook posts wherein the child ostensibly recanted. "Throughout these proceedings, the court was informed that N.W. had denied creating the posts averred by Ashford to be the basis for his motion for a new trial. Thus, the trial court did not err in denying Ashford's motion for a new trial based on newly discovered evidence." The Court also rejects Ashford's sufficiency of the evidence and ineffective assistance claim.
Melvin Potts v. State of Mississippi – jury question – Potts was charged with killing JSU Professor Dr. Garrick Shelton and auto theft. Potts was convicted of stabbing Dr. Shelton to death with a knife and stealing his car. On appeal he argues that the court erred in giving further instructions to the jury when it came out with a question: "What is the next step if we cannot unanimously find that the State has failed to prove all the elements of murder first degree?" With the agreement of both parties, the court responded: "Pursuant to Instruction Number 8, you may not proceed to consider lesser charges unless you unanimously find that the State has failed to prove all of the elements of murder first degree." Potts argues that the court should have granted a mistrial upon finding the jury deadlocked. The Court finds this issue waived because Potts never objected at trial. Potts also has issues with several jury instructions and argues that the evidence was insufficient. The Court affirms.
Mississippi Rural Water Association, Inc. v. Mississippi Public Service Commission, Brandon Presley, in his Official Capacity, Cecil Brown, in his Official Capacity and Samuel F. Britton, in his Official Capacity – utility deposit waiver for domestic violence victims – In September 2014, the Mississippi Public Service Commission adopted a rule requiring utilities to waive utility deposits for certified domestic violence victims for a period of sixty days. The Mississippi Rural Water Association, Inc. objected to the rule and when it was enacted, appealed to the Hinds County Chancery Court which affirmed the MPSC's decision. On appeal, the Miss.S.Ct. vacates the chancery court's judgment finding that the MPSC lacks statutory authority to adopt any rule regulating the rates of nonprofit water utility associations and corporations. On rehearing changes its mind:
We find that the MPSC lacks statutory authority to adopt any rule regulating the rates of nonprofit water utility associations and corporations. Accordingly, we reverse the order adopting the new rule and remand this case to the MPSC for proceedings consistent with this opinion.
The Mississippi Bar v. Morgan P. Shands – disbarment – In October, Shands pleaded guilty to embezzling $350,000 from a bingo hall run by the American Legion. THe Court accepts his resignation from the Bar.
Ermea J. Russell v. The Mississippi Bar – bar reinstatement – The Court denies reinstatement to Russell after a ten month suspension for neglecting clients. To be reinstated, a petitioner must first state the cause for the suspension or disbarment. A petitioner must demonstrate rehabilitation by: 1. stating the cause or causes for suspension or disbarment; 2. providing the names and current addresses of all persons, parties, firms, or legal entities who suffered pecuniary loss due to improper conduct;
3. making full amends and restitution, 4. showing requisite moral character for the practice of law; and 5. demonstrating the requisite legal education. Here Russell cites only the rules she violated without discussing what she did to violate them. Nor did she satisfy the other four requirements.

Most often in rain or in bad weather conditions, which cause poor night visibility, a properly marked road makes the difference. Road markings made with Thermocolor RS28 fall into the category of Type II markings.
Type II road markings (multidot or resonator) provide a very good retroreflectivity at night and in rainy weather conditions, because they allow water to dissipate, so that the glass beads can reflect light without obstacles.
The application is made at temperatures of 180-210°C using road marking machines equipped with extruder or draw box, built specially for the application of thermoplastic materials.
A correct application that ensures good adhesion of these materials involves a throughout cleaning of the surface and removing moisture from the substrate pores.

Q: Same fragment called multiple time in ViewPager I have a View pager. The user can choose how many differents pages he can have.
The pages are all the same layout but it will just load different data.
Here is my fragment adapter :
    public class FragmentAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter

{

    private final List<Fragment>  lstFragment = new ArrayList<>();
    private final List<String> lstTitles = new ArrayList<>();

    public FragmentAdapter(FragmentManager fm) {
        super(fm);
    }

    @Override
    public Fragment getItem(int i) {
        return lstFragment.get(i);
    }

    @Nullable
    @Override
    public CharSequence getPageTitle(int position) {
        return lstTitles.get(position);
    }

    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        return  lstTitles.size();
    }

    public void AddFragment (Fragment fragment , String title)
    {
        lstFragment.add(fragment);
        lstTitles.add(title);
    }
}

And here is the code to call the fragment multiple time :
 FragAdapter = new FragmentAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager());

    viewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.main_tabs_pager);
    toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.main_page_toolbar);
    tabLayout = (TabLayout) findViewById(R.id.main_tabs);

    String[] Fragments = {"Frag1", "Frag2", "Frag3", "Frag4"};

    for (int i=0; i<Fragments.length; i++)
    {
        ((FragmentAdapter) FragAdapter).AddFragment(new MenuFragment(),Fragments[i]);
    }

    viewPager.setAdapter(FragAdapter);
    tabLayout = (TabLayout) findViewById(R.id.main_tabs);
    tabLayout.setupWithViewPager(viewPager);

So it works fine. But the only problem is that I don't know how to know the difference in code between the differents fragments.
Exemple :
The frag1 must load 5 pictures about the sea
The frag2 must load 8 pictures about the sun
How can I tell the fragment what to do? I tried to pass in the constructeur the arguments by exemple
 public MenuFragment(int numberofpictures, String picturesthemes)
{
    // Required empty public constructor
}

but the constructors must be empty because it is not called again when fragment is destroyed and recreated...
does anyone has an idea? thanks
UPDATE
I don't know if that is the good way but here is the way I did it :
In main activity I created :
 for (int i=0; i<Fragments.length; i++)
    {
        Bundle parameters = new Bundle();
        parameters.putInt("myInt", i);
        Fragment menuFragment = new MenuFragment();
        menuFragment.setArguments(parameters);
        ((FragmentAdapter) FragAdapter).AddFragment(menuFragment, Fragments[i]);
    }

Which give a everyfragment the the int i which is a reference to the title.
Then I simply wrote this function :
 public String getName (int i)
{
    return Fragments[i];
}

which return the title based on the int that the fragment got thanks to the bundle
Then, In the MenuFragment() I used this :
 private void fillinthelist()
{

    myInt = getArguments().getInt("myInt");
    String test = ((MainActivity) getActivity()).getName(myInt);

    ListOfProgrammes.add(new Modele_carte(test));

}

so it gets the int from the bundle and make a like to it thanks to the function in MainActivity
Is it the good way to do it? It seems to work

A: You can attach a Bundle containing the parameters with setArguments(Bundle) :
Bundle parameters = new Bundle();
parameters.putInt("myInt", <int_value>);
Fragment menuFragment = new MenuFragment();
menuFragment.setArguments(arguments);
((FragmentAdapter) FragAdapter).AddFragment(menuFragment, Fragments[i]);

A common practice is to build and attach the Bundle in a fragment's class static factory method.
The fragment can use getArguments() to retrieve the parameters.
private int myInt;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    myInt = getArguments().getInt("myInt");
}

OPINION: Tear gas at the border is no war crime
Administrations have been doing it for many years, without the outrage
OPINION: Tear gas at the border is no war crime Administrations have been doing it for many years, without the outrage Check out this story on dailyrecord.com: https://www.dailyrecord.com/story/opinion/2018/11/29/opinion-tear-gas-border-war-crime/38636323/
James S. Robbins Published 12:02 a.m. ET Nov. 29, 2018
Migrants run from tear gas launched by U.S. agents, amid photojournalists covering the Mexico-U.S. border, after a group of migrants got past Mexican police at the Chaparral crossing in Tijuana, Mexico, Sunday, Nov. 25, 2018. The mayor of Tijuana has declared a humanitarian crisis in his border city and says that he has asked the United Nations for aid to deal with the approximately 5,000 Central American migrants who have arrived in the city.(Photo: ~File photo)
Using tear gas against groups of illegal immigrants charging the U.S. border has been called evil, a war crime and a disgrace. But it is more routine than you think.
President Donald Trump's critics went gonzo after Border Patrol agents used tear gas to disperse members of a Honduran "migrant caravan" who charged the border at the San Ysidro border crossing and attacked agents with rocks and bottles. Alyssa Milano let loose a profanity-laden Twitter tirade. Other celebrity and activist critics expressed strident outrage. And of course there were the usual comparisons to Hitler.
Democratic Sen. Brian Schatz of Hawaii seemed to suggest that the Border Patrol violated the Chemical Weapons Convention of 1993, though that agreement specifically omits tear gas used for law enforcement purposes. The senator later deleted his remark. Nevertheless Twitter is alive with this "war crime" misinformation.
Umbrage aside, this is hardly the first time nonlethal chemical weapons have been used at the border. Exactly five years earlier, during the Obama administration, border agents repelled a gang of rock and bottle throwing illegal immigrants using pepper spray. This was just one of 151 uses of pepper spray at the border that year alone, in addition to 27 uses of tear gas, and all without a peep about "war crimes" or the Holocaust.
Tear gas was also used at the border in 2007 in response to attacks on border agents with stones, bottles, bricks and ball bearings fired with slingshots. Border Patrol officials argued then that the use of nonlethal force was a potentially life-saving measure, not only for law enforcement officers but also for those throwing the rocks; stone throwers at the border were fatally shot in 2005 and 2007.
Tear gas had been deployed at the border at least as early as the Carter administration. In April 1980, border patrol agents faced off with a group of 500 illegals who had gathered near San Ysidro. But in 1980, the border fence was not yet completed, and smugglers encouraged mass demonstrations at the open section to draw agents away from other points of access.
The story was the same then as now — the attempted illegal immigrants began throwing rocks at the border control officers, hitting about 35, and the agents dispersed the rock throwers with tear gas. And President Jimmy Carter was never called evil because of it.
According to Justice Department training materials, 75 percent of the effects of tear gas is psychological. That has certainly been the case with the recent incident, especially among Trump's critics. Outrage was sparked particularly by the heart-rending images of women and children fleeing the tear gas attack.
But one should ask why any parent would willfully expose a child to potential harm. The parents might have known this could happen again; rushing the U.S. border was obviously asking for trouble.
But maybe the organizers of the bumrush understood the game all along. San Diego Sector Chief Patrol Agent Rodney Scott said the move was tactical. The migrants "would push women and children to the front, and then begin, basically, rocking our agents," he said.
National Border Patrol Council President Brandon Judd claimed that "they use women and children regularly" as human shields.
And if the incident was planned, it certainly had the desired effect, judging by the overheated response from the left. It was reminiscent of the Vietnam War-era protesters' tactic of "chicks up front!" The 1960s radicals knew how to manipulate news coverage and generate controversy. Looks like some things never change.

Kings trade for Penner. Update.
The Kings reeled in the biggest fish at the NHL trade deadline, acquiring left wing Dustin Penner from the Edmonton Oilers for defenseman Colten Teubert, a first-round 2011 draft pick, and a conditional third-round pick in 2012.
ESPN's Pierre LeBrun wrote on Twitter that the 2012 pick will become a second-round pick if the Kings win the Stanley Cup.
Update: General manager Dean Lombardi told reporters at team headquarters in El Segundo that the trade ultimately came together Monday.
"When we left here late last night, everything was still very much in the air," he said. "In terms of this having me going to bed last night thinking this was done, we were far from it.
Penner, 28, has scored at least 20 goals in four of his five NHL seasons, including a team-leading 21 goals for the Oilers this season. The 6-foot-4, 245-pound winger set career highs last season with 32 goals and 31 assists in 82 games.
Kings head coach Terry Murray said on an interview this morning with NHL Live that he envisions playing Penner alongside center Anze Kopitar.
In a press conference today in Edmonton — a sure sign that he won't arrive in Los Angeles in time for tonight's game against Detroit — Penner said that he enjoyed his three and a half seasons in Edmonton, but wasn't opposed to a trade. Penner previously played for the Anaheim Ducks before signing a lucrative offer sheet with Edmonton following the Ducks' 2007 Stanley Cup run.
Two seasons remain, this year and next, at $4.5 million per season.
Lombardi emphasized that Penner's familiarity with former Oilers teammates Jarret Stoll and Matt Greene, who lived with Penner for a time in Edmonton, ought to create a "comfort zone" right away.
Teubert, 20, is in his first full professional season with AHL Manchester. The 6-foot-4 defenseman has two goals, 10 points and 57 penalty minutes in 39 games. He missed the beginning of the season and training camp with a hand/wrist injury, and the pace of his development had him buried on the organizational depth chart.
"When I was down in Manchester, he's come a long way," Lombardi said of Teubert. "He started off a little slowly coming out of his draft year, but he was arguably one of our most improved players down there. Probably the one reason I was able to do this is because we have Matt Greene. What is aw in Manchester was very much, in a lot of ways, a young Matt Greene. I think Edmonton's got a good player here.
Lombardi noted that the trade wasn't technically done when he spoke just after noon. The NHL needs to formally approve all trades, and there is always some backup in that process on deadline day. He also said that he didn't know when Penner would be able to play, given that he needs to obtain a work visa first.

Fans Can't Wait To See Lady Gaga As Harley Quinn As Joaquin Phoenix's First Look From 'Joker: Folie à Deux' Is Out!
December 12, 2022 1:17 pm by Box Office Worldwide
A first look at Joaquin Phoenix from the upcoming movie Joker: Folie à Deux has been released by director Todd Phillips. The movie is a follow-up to his 2019 smash hit Joker, for which he received multiple Oscar nominations and even won the Best Actor award for his portrayal of Arthur Fleck.
Todd posted the image to Instagram on Sunday and captioned it, "Day 1. Our boy. #joker." Arthur was seen shaving in the picture, probably while he was behind bars. He is lying shirtless, looking skinnier than ever, shaving foam on his face as an unnamed person gives him a shave.
After the photo's release, fans were left ecstatic, but many also yearned to meet Lady Gaga. She plays Harley Quinn in the movie, but her presence hasn't been officially announced or confirmed. "Sneak peek at Gaga plis," someone demanded. "Will we get your girl on Day 2?" another person asked. Another remark said, "Please show us a photo of Harley Quinn aka Lady Gaga."
The medical facility that many of Batman's foes in the comics visited, Arkham Asylum, is said to play a role in the movie. Todd and Joaquin are back in their original positions for the new project. Scott Silver and Todd are drafting the screenplay together.
Along with them, Catherine Keener and Brendan Gleeson complete the cast of the upcoming film. Joker: Folie a Deux will debut on October 4, 2024, according to studio Warner Bros.Along with them, the upcoming movie's cast is also completed by Catherine Keener and Brendan Gleeson. The Warner Bros studio has announced that Joker: Folie a Deux will premiere on October 4, 2024. Margot Robbie, who had portrayed Harley Quinn in multiple DC movies, sent her warmest wishes for Lady Gaga.
"It makes me so happy because I said from the very beginning that all I want is for Harley Quinn to be one of those characters the way…like Macbeth or Batman always gets passed from great actor to great actor,"
she had told MTV News in an interview. "Someone gets to do their Batman, or someone gets to do their Macbeth."

American Lawyer Lauds "Reunion at Jenner"
The American Lawyer Magazine observed in its November issue that Jenner & Block's patience in "sticking to its strategic plan" to grow its corporate practice had landed the Firm the veritable "mother lode." The national publication was referring to the recent hiring of "two M&A heavyweights," Robert S. Osborne and Elmer W. Johnson, which Kay Hoppe, president of Chicago legal search firm Credential, Inc., described as one of the biggest news stories affecting the city's legal community in more than a decade.
As Jenner & Block Chairman Jerold S. Solovy explained to the magazine, the Firm's decision to build its highly-regarded corporate practice into a global powerhouse originated in the fall of 2000, when a small group of Partners began to lead the recruiting efforts that culminated in the hiring of Mr. Osborne and Mr. Johnson.
Linda L. Listrom, who helped oversee the initiative, told the magazine that the Firm has been looking ever since to grow organically as well as through the recruitment of lateral "superstars" like Mr. Osborne and Mr. Johnson who, in turn, would help attract even more legal talent to the Firm in the future.
The Chair of Jenner & Block's Corporate Practice, Mr. Osborne, has represented such large companies as General Motors Corporation in a number of its important transactions and is a former general counsel for Lands' End, Inc. According to the magazine, Mr. Osborne wants to build his new practice into a "corporate powerhouse" and suggested he particularly liked the prospect of doing so with the help of Mr. Johnson, his old colleague who had recruited him to another national law firm from Harvard Law School. Mr. Johnson has served on many corporate boards and, the magazine noted, was most recently the president of the Aspen Institute, a global leadership forum, which further embellished Mr. Johnson's "stature and reputation in the specialty of the moment, corporate governance."
Concluded American Lawyer: "What more could one hope for from two lateral hires?"


As technological products like electronics, gadgets, computers, TV's, gaming systems and smart phones have become immensely popular and no one can even think to live without them now. These electronic products have become a necessity in today's life. Although i agree that these inventions are great and help us perform our daily tasks too but the real thing to understand is that everything comes with negative effects too. Technology has revolutionized the home and work life, the way we communicate, enjoy our free time, everything is being changed and now we are wholly depending on these technology products, so as these things have become unavoidable and a large and important part of our daily life, i would like to shed some light on the negative effects of technology that is potentially harming our health and lifestyle.
As mostly the electronic gadgets like TV's, gaming, tablets, laptops, smartphones and other internet connected devices are addictive in nature, people all over the world spend most of their daily time using them, all these electronic gadgets emit electromagnetic radiations, long term consistent use can cause itchy, watery, stressed and redness of eyes. Other than the eyes these electromagnetic radiations can cause heavy headedness, stress and even depression. So limit the use of these gadgets for long hours, if you are into some sort of serious internet business or job, try taking regular intervals every hour. If you cannot avoid long term usage of these gadgets then one way to get rid of these electromagnetic waves out of your head is to sleep on the floor or offer your prayers regularly daily as when you bow your head on the ground, it absorbs major portion of these radiations and you will feel relaxed and stress free. Here the principle of 'Earth' applies, where electric wiring and connections are used to dilute and neutralize by putting one end into the earth.
In majority of countries round the world we see massive telecom towers that emit and spread the radio waves mainly to provide telecom signals, wireless internet service and FM radio channels. People living near by them are under stronger concentration of these radio waves. Some studies have reported that these radiations may cause unwanted cellular changes in the body that can result in cancer. Some studies suggest the same for mobile phones and smart phones, people who are always on the phone or place their phone under their pillow or head while sleeping are at a greater risk. Microwave ovens used for re-heating or cooking food also emit radio waves to instantly re-heat the food, some researchers have also declared the presence of these waves as carcinogenic, however, the manufacturers and majority of the scientists agree that the frequency of these waves is low and not potent enough to cause any damage, still all the users of these devices should be careful and try to avoid them as much as possible.
As already discussed that these devices are addictive in nature and majority of people use them even when they can avoid them. With the development of these devices, messengers, social media and fast internet, people to people contact in real life has decreased, real social life has been effected in a negative way. People do not meet now often, they wish, congratulate or greet everyone via the online social media. The use of these devices is even creating communication gap between the families, once there was a term quality family time, when all family members sit together and discuss all matters in the evening, now this concept is fading away because everyone is busy with their devices and online world, they do not have time for their own family members that is weakening the traditional family bond and relation.
No doubt electronic gadgets are very useful and have more advantages than disadvantages, their use should be calculated. At least it should not effect anyone's health or lifestyle negatively, so i suggest a balanced lifestyle where there should not be excess of anything and balance in everything you do. If you have any tips to come of this technological jungle do post in comments.


Eventide's latest 'Ultra' plugin for native formats (VST/AU/AAX) once again draws heavily on its H8000 UltraHarmonizer. UltraReverb features nine reverb algorithms and over 300 categorised presets, with contributions from Andrew Scheps and Richard X, amongst others.
The nine algorithms aren't exact copies of H8000 algorithms (there are no actual H8000 patches), but they do share the same underlying code.
The Reverb section contains ten adjustable parameters, including Modulation (Depth and Rate), Decay Time (100 seconds maximum), Room Size, Diffusion and Predelay, as well as discrete level settings for Early Reflections and Reverb Tail. There's also a bit-reducing Lo-Fi control for emulating vintage digital conversion.
Pros - Extensive preset library. Nine H8000-inspired reverb algorithms. Integrated delay and four EQs. Compressor with external sidechain.
Cons - Integration of Presets and Snapshots could be better. Lo-Fi effect unpleasant at higher settings.
Verdict - Bring some of that legendary Eventide magic to your tracks with this beautiful sounding and hugely configurable reverb.

The Usual Suspects: Tracking the Top 5 Suspects in "The Wolf Among Us"
ByKevin Wong
Freelance writer living in Queens, NY. He tweets here: @kevinjameswong.
When Telltale released The Walking Dead in 2012, gamers were blown away. Could Telltale duplicate its success, or was Clementine a one-hit wonder, an inspired fluke? The Wolf Among Us puts all doubt to rest. It's a self-assured, inspired game, staying true to the graphic novels' spirit while staking out its own identity.
The Wolf Among Us is a murder mystery, and even though we're only two episodes in, it's time to start speculating. Here are the Fabletown residents that Bigby Wolf ought to give a second sniff.
Massive spoilers and speculation ahead!

Ludwig von Mises: The Comeback Kid
Written by Gary North on February 2, 2015
In my article on "Civilization and the Faculty Lounge," I told the story of how New York University's economics department treated Mises with contempt. The economics department of the University of Chicago did the same with F. A. Hayek, a soft-core version of Mises.
NYU was a third-tier school. Mises was a greater economist than Hayek. The disparity today is obvious. The idea that the long-forgotten drones at NYU thought of Mises as a dinosaur is indicative of just how third-tier NYU was.
Mises died in October 1973. In the late spring of 1974, a week-long meeting was held at South Royalton, Vermont. Three dozen young Austrian School grad students plus Rothbard, Kirzner, Hazlitt, and Peterson met together. The following fall, Hayek won the Nobel Prize. The following summer, Hayek joined the faculty of the second Mises seminar.
In 1982, the Mises Institute was founded. It was dedicated to promoting the work of Mises, Rothbard, and other Austrian School scholars. There is www.Mises.org to draw students from around the world, 24×7.
Where are the institutes for any faculty member of the NYU economics department in Mises' day? They do not exist. Where are the websites for any of them? They do not exist. Who remembers any of them? No one.
Mises left an intellectual legacy: a consistent, integrated system of economics. This captured the minds of Rothbard and a few others, such as Hans Sennholz and George Reisman. Rothbard persuaded Lew Rockwell. Rockwell's sites have have persuaded thousands of others.
Mises is the comeback kid. His colleagues at NYU — with the exception of William Peterson — are deservedly forgotten. They never came back, because they had never been visible enough to establish a stronghold.
They were men of the faculty lounge. They left no traces. They deserved to leave no traces. They collected their paychecks, and they made sure that there was no paycheck for Mises. He worked free of charge — outsiders paid his salary. The hacks in the NYU economics department thought Mises was overpaid. But it was they who were overpaid by the parents of students who did not understand the magnitude of what Mises had done, was doing, and what his ideological heirs would continue to do.
Mises had a philosophy: "Never give an inch." I discussed this in my article. He was dismissed by Milton Friedman as being unbending to the point of silliness. Mises was not silly. He recognized Friedman's compromise with welfare state policies — and Hayek's. He called spades spades.
He had fought in the ideological front lines before World War I. His unbending stand attracted Hayek, Roepke, and a generation of young socialists in the early 1920's. He moved them closer to the free market than they had been. But they never came all the way, and some of them defected back part way after The General Theory (1936).
Mises was hard core. Rothbard was hard core. Those in between were softer core.
The pleasantries of the faculty lounge keep soft-core people immunized from the harsh reality around them. Tenure offers safety.
Mises never had tenure. He was the man who stood in the gap in the twentieth century. He was the leader at Thermopyolae. Wave after wave of "Persians" attacked, and he held firm. "Never give an inch."
To understand what he did, and how alone he stood, click the link.


Charlie Smith over his years has had to work his way up the ranks and has seen the highest of highs and the lowest of lows in the teams he drives for. Smith had never found victory lane in his career over the course of driving in the Sony Cup Series and Hardee's National Series until this past weekend. Many times including 2015 subbing for Sean Perkins, Charlie Smith was in position to get the win. For the Cup Series, Smith has struggled in the past 2 years with Athenian. Charlie Smith has been around the 30's in points the past few years with the team and hasn't ever really been a huge threat to win until this year Smith was sitting in the Top 5 at the Philippines and moved up to 2nd at one moment at Dover within 10 to go. Smith's luck in the HNS has been relatively similar however Smith over the past few years has showed major promise and nearly pulling off multiple wins this year. Smith has been super quick but has had some serious bad luck keeping him out of victory lane. His biggest threat from Richmond was the young gun of Eric Demax making only 2nd start ever in the series leading laps, Demax ended up having troubles and once he was taken out of the occasion, Smith ran away with it. Charlie Smith moved from 16th to 11th in the title fight and keeping his name realistically in the hunt for making a comeback for the title with 15 races to go, sitting 87 back to point lead Garrett Sydnor.

It was a great turnout. Lots of runners and walkers showed up bright and early to start their day off with a 1.4 mile race starting and ending at Disney's Port Orleans French Quarter Resort. In-between, you go along the river through Disney's Port Orleans Riverside Resort. It's beautiful.
And afterwards… well, they don't call it the Beignet Dash for nothing! Everybody who competes gets three Mickey-shaped beignets.

A lonely crusader
April 15, 2013 Deepu Aby Varghese
For Sukumaran Menon K, the outcome of a two-year-long protest against injustice is more trouble and misery. Sukumaran hails from a small town called Triprayar located in Trissur, Kerala. He came to Bangalore 49 years ago to join Bharat Earth Movers Limited (BEML). Now, seven years after his retirement, Menon is on the footpath asking for justice. He sits on fast on a stone bench on M G Road near the statue of Mahatma Gandhi from 8 am to 6 pm, holding his faded umbrella under the scorching sun. Menon's Samadhana Satyagraha started on March 21, 2011. No government official has ever met him.
Sukumaran Menon on day 726 of his fast (pic: Deepu A Varghese)
Menon worked in BEML for 42 years. He recalls those days as a period of struggle. Along with his wife, Menon ran a dairy farm after his working hours, to make ends meet. Spending the prime time of his life working strenuously, he managed to buy 1.75 acres of land beside Hosur Road in 1992 and constructed a house there. But Menon and his family could not live under their own roof for long. In 2008, the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) stepped into their lives claiming possession of the plot as it is situated adjacent to the NICE road. After months of tussle between the government and Menon, he and his family were forcefully pushed out of their home and the building was demolished by the BDA.
Although Menon had been notified six months prior to the date, his house in the plot was demolished. No compensation has been allotted to him till date. The elderly mani identifies the issue as a scam. He names all political kingpins in relation to the dispute and says that he is a victim of thoughtless brutality and corruption. Menon alleges that even the judiciary has been bribed and his cause remains unrecognized by related authorities. At present, he and his family live in a rented house very near to the disputed land, at 11th cross, Hosur Road. Menon remarked, "I stay near my grabbed land so that I can see what is happening to my land."
Sukumaran Menon is contesting two civil cases in the Supreme Court of India against the Government of Karnataka in the hope of winning back his hard earned asset. The cases are still sub-judice. "I do not have any faith in the judiciary. Officials have been bribed. The Nandi Infrastructure Corridor Enterprises Ltd. and Karnataka Industrial Development Board are the culprits", says Menon. Under the RTI Act, he acquired information from the town planning commissioner in 2011 related to the distribution of land for the development of the road. This disclosed the original map of the area which clearly indicates that his disputed plot was never a part of the NICE project.
Nevertheless, according to Menon, the judiciary seems to be blinded by money. His struggle for justice still continues on the side of M G road. Aged 62, he suffers from geriatric health problems. Passers-by seldom notice the man. Menon shared, "Hardly any media person has ever showed up during the days of protest". The police frequently asks him to vacate the stone bench, but Menon has never shaken his decision to stay back. He does not have hopes of getting back his asset, but he is determined to set an example for the callous society.

Very sad to read how an aged citizen was taken for a ride by the cunning officials of the state government.

Education and Careers Every day, millions of Americans get behind the wheel and head out on the highways. Some are on the highway, turning the pavement and steering wheel into their office.
There are more than 3.5 million professional truck drivers, men and women, who get behind the wheel every day with safety first and foremost on their minds. These hard-working professionals deliver America's food, fuel, medicine, clothing — every item in your home or office — safely and efficiently each day.
They are moms and dads who might miss a soccer game every now and then, but understand that an honest day's work takes sacrifice and that providing for their families is an American pastime. They are middle-class, down-to-earth people who kick back to watch the fireworks on the 4th of July, look forward to grabbing a good meal at the truck stop, and sometimes leave burgers on the grill a little too long. They are your next door neighbor, your kid's little league coach or the deacon in your church.
The trucking industry is the backbone of our economy, and our professional drivers are the industry's heart. It represents 1 in 16 jobs in the United States. Trucking is the top job in 29 states and moves 70 percent of the domestic freight.
Safety is an important part of what it means to be a professional truck driver — and millions of drivers hold that responsibility sacred, and their efforts are paying off. Today, trucking is much safer than it was a decade ago — and is virtually unrecognizable compared with the image of the outlaw, renegade industry portrayed in the media in the 1970s and '80s.
Annually, the trucking industry invests over $9.5 billion in safety. These investments include safety technologies, safety training, driver incentive pay, and compliance with safety regulations.
Today, a driver slips behind the wheel of a true engineering marvel — complete with devices and design elements intended to keep the truck, its driver and cargo moving safely and efficiently. However, the most important piece of technology in the cab is — and will be for quite some time — the professional truck driver.
These professionals have to deal with an ever more challenging work environment: highways that are increasingly clogged with traffic and that are no longer adequate for a 21st century economy. These professionals are also increasingly sharing the road with aggressive and distracted drivers who in our current, fast-paced world are putting safety in the back seat to get to their destinations faster while trying to multitask on their cellphones.
Professional truck drivers see these dangerous behaviors every day, yet they continue to improve their safety record even as they move more and more of the nation's goods.
They give up time with their families, nights of sleep in their own beds and the trappings of home to deliver the medicine to our hospitals, the food to our restaurants and the clothes to our stores.
I'm often asked about the shortage of drivers in our industry, and I reply that driving a truck isn't for everybody. And while this is true, for many millions of Americans it isn't just a job, it is a career and a gateway to a middle-class lifestyle for themselves and their families.
The next time you head to the store and see the variety of products that are available on the shelves, think about the professional drivers that got them there. When you're in your home or office, look around and realize all those items were at some point in the back of a truck before they got to where they are. When you're out to dinner, think about the meal you're about to eat and how the ingredients were very recently delivered by truck.
Take a moment to be thankful for the efforts of America's truck drivers and recognize that without them, your table, your closet and the store would all be empty.
Our trucks, and truck drivers, truly do move America forward.
In 2014, the trucking industry suffered a shortage of nearly 40,000 drivers. By 2024, American Trucking Associations predicts the shortage will grow to 174,000 drivers.


Encrypting confidential patient data, medical records, PHI (Personal Health Information) and electronic health records (EHR) is strongly recommended to comply with HIPAA Omnibus and HITECH. NetLib's Encryptionizer helps you support the AS provisions and has become an increasingly integral component for companies executing HIPAA and HITECH compliance strategies to protect PHI and provide electronic health records security.
Developers of health care related software incorporate Encryptionizer transparent encryption protection to safeguard patient data of their clients, as well as to protect their own intellectual property built into their applications and databases.
HIPAA (The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) was enacted by the U.S. Congress in 1996. Title II of HIPAA, known as the Administrative Simplification (AS) provisions, requires the establishment of national standards for electronic health care transactions and national identifiers for providers, health insurance plans, and employers.
The HITECH Act (The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act) was signed into law on February 17, 2009, to promote the adoption and meaningful use of health information technology. Subtitle D of the HITECH Act addresses the privacy and security concerns associated with the electronic transmission of health information, in part, through several provisions that strengthen the civil and criminal enforcement of the HIPAA Omnibus rules. Penalties for unsecured PHI can go up to $250,000 with repeat violations extending up to $1.5 million.
Who Must Follow HIPAA and HITECH?
Health Plans — including health insurance companies, HMOs, company health plans, and certain government programs that pay for health care, such as Medicare and Medicaid.
Most Health Care Providers — those that conduct certain business electronically, such as electronically billing your health insurance—including most doctors, clinics, hospitals, psychologists, chiropractors, nursing homes, pharmacies, and dentists.
Health Care Clearinghouses — entities that process nonstandard health information they receive from another entity into a standard (i.e., standard electronic format or data content), or vice versa.

Yesterday we marveled at the miracle of the Incarnation. Here in the prologue to the Apostle John's first letter, we are given more information about the Incarnation. John opens this letter by declaring the reality of the Incarnation and its central role in the salvation of humanity.
The Apostle John was an eyewitness to this incredible reality. God had actually become flesh and lived on planet earth. John saw Jesus with his own eyes, and he touched Him with his own hands (1 John 1:1). The story of our salvation is rooted in real history and is connected to a real person.
John also declares that Jesus Christ is the Word of Life. I love that. He is not a word about life. He is not a word that points to life. He is THE WORD OF LIFE. In fact, John goes on to declare that Jesus is the One who provides eternal life!
The Person of Jesus and His offer of salvation are at the very heart of Christianity. Our fellowship with one another is rooted in our common belief in Jesus. We believe He is God the Son. We believe His Way is the only way. We believe He is the Word of Life. We believe He is the Word made flesh. We believe Jesus Christ is the only answer for all of humanity's deepest need.
Our unique belief in Jesus Christ is what distinguishes us as Christians among all world religions. We cannot ascend to some spiritual height through human accomplishment. We cannot bridge the chasm that exists between us and God. God has had to take the initiative to resolve our dilemma. He has accomplished for us what we could never achieve on our own. He has sent His Son to bring us life and hope.
John's summary statement in verse 4 is beautiful. God's very real answer to our very real problem makes joy a possibility! Our joy can now be complete.
Praise God for this truth-packed introduction to John's letter. Our fellowship with one another as a church is deeper than our affections for one another. I'm glad we like each other. I'm glad we love each other. But—at the heart of our unity together is the Word of Life! Our common commitment to a deep truth is at the core of our community together.
God became flesh. He has shown us the path to life. That discovery has brought us together as His people.
Thank God today again for the beauty of the Incarnation. Reflect upon how this miracle has brought us together as the People of God.


The last beta build I have that displays the tasks and calendar under DejaToday is build 894. Just downloaded 899 and no tasks. Yesterday tried 898 and no tasks. There was also one other that had the same result.
The issue is; it only displays tasks for which there is a start date. I presume that our tasks do not have a start date, which is why they are not showing. In addition, the task "due date" on the list is the start date. Not the due date.
This is fixed an posted. Oddly, my phone hasn't updated yet. So look for an update from the Google Play store.

Сен-Готардский тоннель или Готардский тоннель — железнодорожный тоннель в Лепонтинских Альпах длиной 15 км, соединяющий швейцарские города Гёшенен и Айроло, часть Сен-Готардской железной дороги.

Высота над уровнем моря: у северного портала (Гёшенен) — 1109 м, у южного портала (Айроло) — 1145 м, в средней части — 1154,55 м. Туннель двухпутный. Ширина тоннеля 8 м, высота от уровня головок рельсов до ключа свода 6 м.

Строительство

Тоннель был построен в 1872-1881 годах. При этом пришлось преодолеть большие трудности вследствие обильного притока воды и значительного давления породы на стены и своды туннеля. Для пробивки тоннеля применялись бурильные машины систем Ферру, Мак-Кин-Сегена, Дюбуа и Франсуа, пользуясь сжатым воздухом до 7 атмосфер, причем источником давления служил напор воды из расположенных поблизости горных рек. Работа велась по бельгийскому способу. Средний успех пробивки направляющего хода в сутки (24-часовая работа) с обоих концов был 6,31 м. Для взрывов было употреблено динамита и других взрывчатых веществ до 1 тыс. тонн. Объём выемки был около 840 тыс. м³.

Во время пробивки замечалось повышение температуры воздуха внутри тоннеля на 2 °C для каждых 100 м высоты горы над сводом тоннеля. По мере углубления внутрь температура наружного воздуха перестала иметь влияние, и вблизи места встречи обоих направляющих ходов наблюдалась наибольшая температура 34 °C. После пробивки температура воздуха внутри тоннеля понизилась, но незначительно, и в настоящее время температура в средней части тоннеля колеблется под влиянием изменений наружной температуры между 14-23 °C.

Свод тоннеля отделан камнем на гидравлическом растворе. В некоторых местах, подверженных сильному давлению, укреплена также подошва обратным сводом. Сооружение тоннеля стоило около 4000 франков за погонный метр (или 17,4 тонны золота за весь тоннель).

Во время постройки Готардского тоннеля немецкий геолог Фридрих Штапф (Friedrich Moritz Stapff) проводил очень важные исследования горных пород (брались и определялись образцы с каждого метра) и температур. Эти наблюдения были в своё время самыми точными и подробными и дали очень важные результаты по вопросу о распределении температуры в земной коре.

Соседние тоннели
 Готардский автомобильный тоннель был открыт 5 сентября 1980 году.
 Готардский базисный тоннель был открыт 1 июня 2016 года.

На момент открытия является самым длинным железнодорожным тоннелем в мире, имеет железнодорожные пути и дополнительные служебные и пешеходные ходы.

DAVIDSON COUNTY, N.C. — Highway patrol is asking for the public's help in identifying a driver and a pedestrian who was killed in a hit-and-run in Davidson County Saturday, according to a state highway patrol news release.
The driver of a Chevrolet Heavy Duty pickup with a Duramax diesel engine reportedly hit a pedestrian around 4 a.m. on NC-109 North near Robbins Road and a Sheetz at Gumtree Road.
Evidence gathered at the scene suggests the pedestrian was walking south in the northbound lane along the fog line.
The pickup was going south on NC-109, drove left of center, hit the pedestrian in the back and drove away, the release says.
The pedestrian's identity is unknown at this time.
The manager of the Sheetz told FOX8 that the pedestrian was in the store before he was killed and that he was a regular.
Highway patrol officials say the pedestrian was a white male approximately 38 to 45 years of age with brown hair and goatee, wearing an NFL Chicago Cubs hoodie, black BDU pants and black shoes from the Wallburg, N.C. area.

The Royal Gurkha Rifles and band of the Brigade of Gurkhas took part in a historic Changing of the Guards today in font of crowds of onlookers outside Buckingham Palace.
The Gurkhas, who are celebrating their bicentenary, took over the guard duties at the Palace from the Welsh Guard, who themselves celebrate 100 years of service this year.
The Queen's Truncheon was paraded in front of the huge audiences of London's tourists from around the world while the bands from each unit played a mixture of traditional marching songs and adapted modern pop songs.

Hi. I am hoping some of you will be able to offer words of wisdom and experience around legacy development, in particular when a new organisation, such as a 'Friends of' group is established. This is the route that Land of Oak & Iron is going down.
Have any other partnerships transferred assets such as IT equipment, website, data etc to newly established organsaitions? If so I presume you had agreements in place re management and maintenance, and also ran training prior to handover?
Was it a smooth process or were there heated negotiations with the Accountable Body?
Who owns IT equipment etc once the LPS ends? I know it all has to be included in the M&M plan.


Sony was one of the first companies to venture into this from the smartwatch, is that by now is about to launch the 3rd generation of its smart watch, which could appear early next month during the technology fair which is held annually in Berlin. It will mean the Sony Smartwatch 3 a breath of fresh to the market for smart watches air before the start of the Moto 360 or iWatch?
IFA in Berlin this year will open its doors on September 5, a show in which Sony we are accustomed in recent years to present some of its flagship important, especially the range "Xperia Z". At this point, it is virtually an open secret that the company will release the next Xperia Z3, and next to him could debut SmartWatch 3.
Now that the market for smart watches seems to start off stronger than when Sony entered it for the first time, the company might want to take this opportunity to introduce a totally refurbished model. The Sony Smartwatch 3 maintain the philosophy of the past 2 generations and continue to rely on its own operating system.
The specifications being considered, we could find ourselves with a higher resolution screen than the current model (220 × 176 pixels), connectivity WiFi Direct, wireless charging and a new more elegant and refined design. Yes, it is expected that the Smartwatch 3 does not vary too in design, so possibly we meet with a square screen like the LG G Watch or the Samsung Gear Live.
Although many users hoped that Sony will happen to Android Wear to exploit the great potential of the new Google platform, there 's no minimum rumor that leads to think that the Sony Smartwatch 3 will change its trend. Undoubtedly, as Android Wear grows, as Tizen OS own or Sony will have it difficult to compete with him, at least in terms of third-party apps are concerned.
Probably, once the smartwatch market has taken off permanently, see how Sony launches a new watch this time compatible with the new operating system from Google.
