The Marine Mammal Center Expands Entangled Whale Response Efforts
Save the Hawaiian Monk Seal!
2019 News Archives
The Center is providing a home for the nonprofit formerly known as California Whale Rescue to bring solutions-focused response to whale entanglements along the California coast and beyond.

The Marine Mammal Center is excited to announce the expansion of its entangled whale response efforts, which will be led by Kathi George, one of the founders of the former nonprofit California Whale Rescue. Heather Willis, another co-founder, will also join the team as a Response Associate.
Kathi and Ryan Berger, the Center's Northern Range Operations Manager, are co-investigators on NOAA's Marine Mammal Health & Stranding Response Program's permit to disentangle whales. Together, they have participated in six whale disentanglements and numerous entangled whale responses as well as over 50 sea lion disentanglements.
Earlier in her career, Kathi led a cross-functional team to develop The Marine Mammal Center's Special Rescue Operations processes. She returns to the Center in the role of Global Response Project Manager, bringing with her over 15 years of experience with marine mammal entanglements, specializing in entangled whale response.
In addition to advancing the entangled whale response network, Kathi's work has emphasized the need for collaborative solutions with various stakeholders—including the fishing community—to reduce the risk of whale entanglement. She will pursue this work through the management of the Solar Logger project—funded by the California Ocean Protection Council—and serving as a member of the California Dungeness Crab Fishing Gear Whale Entanglement Working Group.

As part of the expansion of our whale response program, The Marine Mammal Center will:
Increase capacity to respond to entangled whales
Organize, manage and advance entangled whale response
Support and enhance NOAA Fisheries' efforts to standardize whale disentanglement response practices, gear, communications and training
Assure best practices for human and animal safety during responses
Represent the entangled whale response network in efforts to reduce whale entanglement
Entanglement Prevention
Established in September 2015, the California Dungeness Crab Fishing Gear Whale Entanglement Working Group formed to address the increase in large whale entanglements in Dungeness crab fishing gear and is charged with maintaining thriving whale populations and a thriving Dungeness crab fishery. The Working Group is comprised of representatives from the commercial and recreational fishing community, environmental organizations, state and federal agencies, and the entanglement response network.
The Working Group developed a process to identify and evaluate the relative risk of increased entanglement by looking at four factors: ocean conditions and prey availability, whale concentrations, fishing dynamics and the rate of entanglements. This process, called the RAMP (Risk Assessment and Mitigation Program), aims to reduce the risk of whale entanglement in Dungeness crab fishing gear.
In order to collect some of the data needed for the RAMP, the Center's Solar Logger project will equip up to 40 commercial fishing vessels and up to 20 whale watch boats or commercial passenger fishing vessels within the California Dungeness crab fishing grounds with solar loggers. These solar-powered vessel tracking information systems record vessel positions every few seconds.
After analyzing data from the solar loggers across vessels and locations, heat maps of Dungeness crab fishing and whale watching activities will be created on a monthly basis to inform the relative risk of whale entanglements.
Entanglements have been identified by NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service as the leading cause of mortality to large whales in the United States. With the addition of California Whale Rescue and Kathi's expertise, the Center is now better equipped to address this threat and make positive changes both locally and internationally to protect these species.
As whales continue to face human-caused threats in our ocean, it is imperative that we support solutions-focused research. Be a part of the solution by making a donation today.
Thank you for caring about marine mammals and their ocean home.

Bermuda could benefit from $2.2bn risk transfer
Governments must invest in disaster resilience: ABIR
Reflecting on regulation
Kading: Regulatory standards and protectionist measures are business risks
The Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund (FHCF) has been approved to transfer up to $2.2 billion in risk to the private reinsurance market, with Bermuda potentially reaping the rewards.
The chief executive officer of FHCF, Jack Nicholson, has been approved by the State Board of Administration to assess options for private risk transfer. He will then bring back any information regarding options and pricing to the cabinet to seek approval.
"ABIR's members are global leaders in property catastrophe protection. Florida is an important market for us and we have paid more than $35 billion in re/insurance payments to our US catastrophe insurance customers in the last 14 years – we've made good on demonstrating our value to our customers," said Brad Kading, president of the Association of Bermuda Insurers and Reinsurers (ABIR).
"The Florida Cat Fund now has authorisation to search the market for private reinsurance protection. If they find a good economic bargain they may buy reinsurance coverage for the first time. If they do so they would be making the same sound economic decision made by the California Earthquake Authority, The Texas Windstorm Insurance Association, the UK Pool Re, and the New Zealand Earthquake Commission."
Kading said that reinsurance provides good value to consumers, saying that for a premium the industry takes on risk that others don't want.
"We help Florida avoid use of bond debt which has to be paid back with interest," he said. Florida has just finished paying off nine years of bond debt and billions in interest costs. Reinsurance can help avoid the assessment of such future hurricane taxes on Florida citizens."
"Kudos to the Governor, the Cabinet and the Cat Fund staff for being willing to search the market and put together a deal that will save Florida's taxpayers billions in future interest costs."

Check Out These Colorful Character Posters for Disney's The Nutcracker and the Four Realms
September 12, 2018 Mr. Greg Universe
Though Disney is more applauded for their work on animation, their live-action department also brings in a lot of money. This November will see the release of The Nutcracker and the Four Realms, and some new colorful character posters have just been released.
Here's also the official synopsis:
All Clara (Mackenzie Foy) wants is a key – a one-of-a-kind key that will unlock a box that holds a priceless gift from her late mother. A golden thread, presented to her at godfather Drosselmeyer's (Morgan Freeman) annual holiday party, leads her to the coveted key—which promptly disappears into a strange and mysterious parallel world. It's there that Clara encounters a soldier named Phillip (Jayden Fowora-Knight), a gang of mice and the regents who preside over three Realms: Land of Snowflakes, Land of Flowers and Land of Sweets. Clara and Phillip must brave the ominous Fourth Realm, home to the tyrant Mother Ginger (Helen Mirren), to retrieve Clara's key and hopefully return harmony to the unstable world. Starring Keira Knightley as the Sugar Plum Fairy and featuring a special performance by Misty Copeland, Disney's new holiday feature film "The Nutcracker and the Four Realms" is directed by Lasse Hallström and inspired by E.T.A. Hoffmann's classic tale.
I'll admit, the movie looks a lot like Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, but the production value is outstanding nonetheless. A reboot of Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast isn't enough to get me into a theater, but the promise of spectacular visuals and intricate character design will be enough to get me interested.
The Nutcracker is directed by Lasse Hallstrom and Joe Johnston and stars Mackenzie Foy, Helen Mirren, Morgan Freema, Keira Knightley, and Jayden Fowora-Knight; also there's a special performance by Misty Copeland.
Catch The Nutcracker and the Four Realms in theaters Nov. 2.

An American millionaire works to rescue migrants off the coast of Italy
February 23, 2015 · 3:45 PM EST
Producer Andrea Crossan
There's a migrant crisis off the coast of Italy.
MOAS/Darrin Zammit-Lupi
Wealthy American businessman Christopher Catrambone and his wife Regina have set up the first privately-funded search and rescue operation in the Mediterranean Sea.
"We were out for three months last year and we were able to save 3,000 people," he says.
The crossing between North Africa and the Italian island of Lampedusa can be a treacherous one.
In 2014, the UN refugee agency estimates that 207,000 people attempted to cross the Mediterranean and it estimates that 3,419 migrants died making the crossing. That's approximately one of every 60 people.
And so the Catrambones set up the Migrant Offshore Aid Station.
MOAS Rescue ship Phoenix I
MOAS
The organization's goal is to locate vessels overloaded with men, woman and children trying to reach Europe, and save the lives of any passengers in danger.
"We were able to assist them, provide them with life jackets, medical care, food, and water — everything they needed after they were rescued," says Catrambone, whose Phoenix I set sail on the Mediterranean last summer carrying two drones, two inflatable boats and a crew of technical and medical experts.
The ongoing conflict in Syria has created a refugee community of three million people, many whom want to find a better life beyond the overcrowded camps in Turkey, Lebanon and Syria. And there are tens of thousands of economic migrants trying to escape poverty and conflict from countries like Iraq, Somalia, Sudan and Eritrea.
The MOAS rescue ship is equipped with drones.
"Most people have always relied on government intervention for these types of incidences. When the government isn't adequately making a response to the situation, and you do have lives lost, I think that it is civil society's responsibility to do something," Catrambone says.
Migration is a divisive issue in many European countries, leaving politicians cautious about "encouraging" immigration, even if it means leaving migrants to drown. But the growing number of people drowning in the waters off of Italy spurred the government to act.
It launched the Mare Nostrum search and rescue operation in 2013 after a migrant boat sunk near the island of Lampedusa, killing more than 360 people.
And when Catrambone's organization picks up stranded migrants, the decision on where they are taken is made by the Italian authorities.
"We are being coordinated by the Rome Rescue Coordination Center and they have the legal obligation to not only coordinate rescue, but also to coordinate disembarkation," explains Migrant Offshore Aid Station director Brigadier Martin Xuereb.
Xeureb is a former commander of the Maltese armed forces. He says it's common for the smugglers to send migrants out to sea with very few supplies.
"I've been in this business a number of years now and experience tells me that the smugglers do not do the crossing with the migrants, they just shove the migrants in a boat. If the migrants pay some extra money they will give them a compass. If they pay some extra money, they'll give them a sat phone and if they pay some extra money they give them a life jacket and some fuel — and then just point them towards Europe."

WASHINGTON — Friend of Russia and foe of sanctions in his corporate life, President-elect Donald Trump's pick for secretary of state, Exxon Mobil CEO Rex Tillerson, is an unorthodox choice for a Republican White House. He may feel perfectly at home in Trump's iconoclastic administration.
Likely to face pointed questions from both sides of the aisle at his Senate confirmation hearing Wednesday, Tillerson represents a break in a longstanding tradition of secretaries of state with extensive military, legislative, political or diplomatic experience. Yet his supporters, including former GOP grandees Condoleezza Rice and Robert Gates, point to the oil man's lengthy career as a senior executive in a mammoth multinational company as proof he has the management and negotiating skills to succeed as America's top diplomat.
Democrats and even traditional GOP hawks are expected to zero in on Tillerson's role in orchestrating business deals with Russia, which led to President Vladimir Putin awarding him the Order of Friendship in 2013. Exxon and its subsidiaries' activities in Iran and Iraq, and his environmental views are also likely to be covered, as are suspicions that Tillerson's focus will be driven by corporate interests at the expense of the nation's.
The severity of any challenge to Tillerson's nomination is unclear. Already, some leading Democrats who met privately with him have voiced relief at his views on Russia, climate change and trade, even if they appear not to mesh with those of the president-elect.
Russia is sure to be foremost on everyone's mind. With allegations of Russian interference in the presidential election roiling the nation, several lawmakers have spoken about scrutinizing his and Exxon's two-decade relationship with Putin and others in Moscow.
In prepared opening comments for his testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Tillerson sought to allay fears about his ties to Russia, saying the former Cold War adversary "poses a danger" that must be taken seriously.
At the same time, Tillerson plans to say that an absence of American leadership opened the door to Russia's increasing assertiveness, according to the prepared remarks. He will also call for an "open and frank dialogue" with Moscow and urge that Russia be held accountable for transgressions.
Yet, Tillerson opposed sanctions championed by both Democrats and Republicans on Russia imposed after its annexation of Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula in 2014. The sanctions banned the transfer to Russia of advanced offshore and shale technology, and Exxon was ordered to stop drilling in the Kara Sea, leaving the site's potential riches untapped. Tillerson's main Russian business partner, Rosneft boss and close Putin confidant Igor Sechin, was added to a U.S. sanctions blacklist. Exxon ended up losing hundreds of millions of dollars.
"We do not support sanctions, generally, because we don't find them to be effective unless they are very well implemented comprehensibly and that's a very hard thing to do," Tillerson said at Exxon's annual meeting in 2014.
That position is far from conventional wisdom in Washington, especially among members of Congress, but gained traction in some circles after the Obama administration conceded that more than a half-century of penalties on Cuba had failed to change Havana's policies.
Moscow, for its part, hasn't been swayed by the sanctions, refusing to yield Crimea or to drop its support for a low-level insurgency in eastern Ukraine. But the penalties have caused economic damage to Russia, largely because of the participation of European countries with which it has significant trade relationships.
Tillerson's responses on sanction matters will be closely scrutinized, particularly as they relate to Russia.
The nomination could hit a snag if Tillerson doesn't acknowledge that Russia interfered in the presidential election, Sen. Lindsey Graham said Tuesday.
Sen. Ben Cardin of Maryland, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee's top Democrat, said he expects members to grill Tillerson about supporting more and tougher sanctions against Russia. Cardin is supporting such legislation.
"There's going to be a great deal of interest as to whether Mr. Tillerson understands that he is no longer going to be CEO of Exxon Mobil but that he's going to be secretary of state," Cardin said.
Progressive groups have their own agenda. They're seeking to rally opposition over Exxon's environmental record, deals with nations having poor human rights records and possible conflicts of interest. Exxon valued Tillerson's compensation in 2015 at $27.3 million, most of it in stock, and he is set to receive a $180 million retirement package from Exxon.
Tillerson, 64, has acknowledged the Earth's climate is changing, average temperature is rising and greenhouse gas emissions increasing. But he has said the subject remains a complex area of scientific study and Exxon in the past sought to undercut evidence of climate change even as its own scientists recognized the changes as early as the 1970s.

Anticonvulsive and antioxidant activity of aqueous root extract of Moringa oleifera in ferric chloride-induced epileptic rats
Moringa oleifera (MO), commonly known as drumstick tree in South Asian countries are consumed as food and have immense medicinal value. The consumption of the root of MO reduced neuronal hyper-excitability in psychiatric disorders.
The present study has tested the efficacy of the aqueous root extract of MO in preventing epilepsy, a serious neurological disorder, from non-penetrating brain injury.
Reducing power, polyphenol, flavonoid content of MO, and high performance liquid chromatographic identification of free radical scavenging compounds in the extract in the present study encourages its use for preventing free radical-induced epilepsy.
Holtzman Strain adult rats, weighing 200-250 g, were assigned into four groups (n=6 in each group): normal control; sham operated; intracortically FeCl3 injected (100mM; 8micro litre); FeCl3 injected + MO pretreated (350mg/kg, orally) and FeCl3 injected + diazepam (DZ) pretreated (20mg/kg, i.p). Lipid peroxidation (LPO), catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities were studied as indirect parameters of free radical-induced brain damage.
Serotonin, dopamine and nor-epinephrine were also evaluated biochemically from different brain regions. A statistically significant reduction in lipid peroxidation, CAT and SOD activity was observed in MO pretreated group when compared to the untreated epileptic rats. Serotonin level was found to be elevated significantly in cerebral cortex whereas dopamine and nor-epinephrine levels declined in the caudate nucleus and in cerebellum of MO-pretreated rats in comparison to untreated epileptic group and synchronizes with the changes with anticonvulsant diazepam.
MO effectively prevents the advent of FeCl3 induced epilepsy by ameliorating free radical damage and by regulating protective neurotransmitters to restrain neuronal hyper excitability.
Acceptability and Nutritional Attributes of Moringa Oleifera-enriched Maize Flour
Study was carried out to investigate the effect of fortification on the general acceptability and nutritional characteristics of Moringa oleifera flower–enriched fermented maize flour (Ogi). The fermented maize flour was grouped into five based on the percentage of maize and Moringa oleifera flower powder used for the production as a source of protein and micronutrients for the formulations.
The groups 1- 5 represent maize and Moringa oleifera flower powder in ratio 10:0, 9:1, 8:2, 7:3 and 6:4 respectively. Flowers of Moringa oleifera were sun- dried for 5 days, milled and sieved to obtain fine powder.
The fine powder was mixed thoroughly with fermented maize flour by pounding and stirring. Chemical analysis of the sample formulations revealed considerable amount of measured nutrients with group 5 formulation having the highest protein and nutrients content, followed by group 4, 3 and 2 compared to group 1 and the control group.
The resulting blends of fortified fermented maize flour were creamy and greenish yellow in colour, free flowing and dispersed easily in water. Sensory evaluation of the samples showed that group 3 sample was the most generally acceptable to the taste panel in terms of colour, texture and appearance.
This study suggests that Moringa oleifera-enriched fermented maize flour at the ratio of 80% and 20% fermented maize flour and Moringa oleifera flower powder respectively could improve significantly the protein content and general acceptability attributes of the fortified maize flour.
Moringa in Oil Industry
Crude extracts were prepared from the flowers and callus of Moringa oleifera using ethanol extract and screened for their antimicrobial activity against some bacteria andfungal pathogen by paper disc method. The tested gram positive bacterial strains were Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus, gram negative bacterial strains were Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and fungal pathogen Candida albicans. Although flavonoids are present in all parts of Moringa oleifera, maximum amount was observed inflowers. Hence soxhlet extract of 5 grams of powdered flowers and unorganized tissues of M. oleifera were screened for their antimicrobial activity. Among the flowers and unorganized tissue tested, the ethanol extract of callus exhibited higher antimicrobial activity when compared to the floral extract.

Antibacterial activity of Moringa Oleifera and Moringa stenopetala methanol and n-hexane seed extracts on bacteria implicated in water borne diseases
The anti-bacterial activity of methanol and n-hexane extracts of Moringa oleifera and Moringa stenopetala seeds was conducted on 3 bacterial species (Salmonella typhii, Vibrio cholerae and Escherichia coli) which normally cause water borne diseases. The paper disc diffusion method was used with treatments arranged in a completely randomized design and replicated four times. The highest inhibitions were observed at dilutions of 20, 5 and 40% for M. oleifera and M. stenopetala methanol extracts on E. coli, S. typhi and V. cholerae respectively. The n-hexane extract of both M. oleifera and M. stenopetala had a higher inhibition on S. typhii than V. cholerae and E. coli. The results of this study showed that M. oleifera and M. stenopetala had a degree of antibacterial properties especially in low doses.

Local Ten-Year-Old Wows With PowerPoint Presentation at Interview
Kasey Silvia
Kasey Silvia Published: July 2, 2021
Photo contributed by Juliana Simmons
Juliana Simmons lives in Dartmouth and has two daughters. Addison is 10 years old and Violet just turned 18 months old. Now that both of the girls are home for the summer, she was considering hiring someone to watch the youngest so that she could get work done and finish online classes.
"I will be home, I just need some uninterrupted time to focus on those things," Simmons said.
Remembering that a friend recently interviewed her daughter for a similar position in their own household, Simmons thought it would be a good idea to allow Addison to apply for the job as well.
"After all, every single time anyone has ever watched them, Addison was really the one watching Violet because she doesn't let anyone hold her and always freaks out when I leave," Simmons said.
Simmons sent Addison a text message including the job proposal, the meeting location, and the time of the interview.
Addison was excited about the opportunity and wasted no time. She immediately began preparing for the interview, even creating a PowerPoint presentation for her potential employer, AKA mom. Addison was punctual to the dining room, laptop in hand.
"She was ready to answer all of our questions and even negotiated a few things that she was adamant about, like no changing dirty diapers," Simmons said.
Simmons was thoroughly impressed with Addison's presentation and how much work she put into it. She knows that she is taking the position seriously and is excited to start earning her own money.
"I'm so proud of my girl," Simmons said.
Addison is happy that all of that hard work paid off. Negotiations went well and now she officially has a paying gig.
"I wanted the job because I wanted to help out my mom and make some extra money for the summer," Addison said. "I made the slideshow so I would look more professional and not forget about any major things when I presented it. I will be watching my sister for about five hours a week. It will be about two and a half hours a day, twice per week. My mom will also still change her poopy diapers and put her to sleep."
This little girl is going places. She was not messing around when it came to achieving her goal. She pulled out all the stops to make it happen and it's great to see this kind of work ethic in a local 10-year-old.
The Best of South Shore Bar Pizza
There's pizza, and then there's South Shore Bar Pizza. Birthed in Brockton (and to this writer, perfected in Randolph – Lynwood Café is the true G.O.A.T.), it must meet certain qualifications to be considered "SSBP," which include: it's a 10-inch pie; it has a thin, cracker-like crust with minimal "flop;" the cheese is a blend that features more cheddar than mozzarella; and bonus points if you take it home between two carboard-type plates wrapped in flat brown paper bag. They also usually come with "laced" or "burnt" edges (terminology depends on where you are ordering), which is when the sauce and cheese are extended all the way to the edge of the pan, creating a crispy, flavorful coating to the crust. We reached out to the hugely popular South Shore Bar Pizza Social Club Facebook group to ask the experts to share the best of the best (in no particular order).

Location: Old Eldon Square, Newcastle. Materials: Granite, Portland Stone and Bronze. Status: Listed Grade II.
Charles Hartwell's bronze equestrian St. George and dragon occupy a tall Portland stone pedestal decorated by the bronze reliefs of Justice and Peace at each side and by a carved lion at the front. This St. George and dragon is the second cast of a sculpture designed and executed by the artist to commemorate the men of Marylebone killed in the Great War and which is situated close to Lords Cricket Ground. Such a cost saving measure was common at all periods of memorial making where casting techniques were involved. The memorial, which was paid for by public subscription, was unveiled by Earl Haig in 1923. In 1974 the Council's proposal to remove it from Eldon Square to a new site caused a public outcry.

Get the Desire now? Or HD later?
Discussion in 'Android Devices' started by jollygoon, Aug 10, 2010.
1. One of the issues I have is that the Desire only has an itty bitty amount of internal storage space compared to most contemporary Android phones and this worries me because even on my iTouch i have more than 1 gbs worth of apps. Will this become a problem later on?
2. Following on from no 1, I do know that Froyo allows A2SD but with all the problems it seems to be having is it actually worth updating to Froyo?
3. I want to use this phone for at least 2 years maybe even 3, is it already too late in the game to get a desire now? What with Gingerbread coming along and all that I guess the easiest way to gauge this is to ask how do Hero, Milestone or even G1 users feel about their phones a few years down the line. Anyone?
4. All this basically gets me to the final question. Should I wait for the Desire HD? It's massive screen, aluminium unibody and 8MP camera are a real turn on but they're just icing on the cake, not my priority: which is longevity.
..and if you wait for the HD, when it finally is in the market HTC will have let out a sneak peak of another expected product that you will be asking if you should also wait for that one.
Get the Desire, life is short.
The Desire HD seems to have largely the same specs as the HTC desire, just in a new body.
There will always be new phones coming out in the horizon, if you are looking for a larger screen and more internal memory, you may want to consider the Galaxy S even if it is a little more expensive.
Yes, yes. I know if I wait I'll keep on waiting. My main worry is longevity, as in how long can I use it for? I plan to buy a phone this quarter tho, so there is a deadline, as it were.
Yenzehn, what about the internal storage? I don't really like the Galaxy S, don't know why. It does have better hardware but I've had Samsung phones before and was always underwhelmed. I really want an HTC phone.
c) I don't actually want a bigger screen and am not bothered about a better camera and everything else is pretty much the same as now (even 720p recording is available via Froyo).
Now I've seen what the HD looks like (an old iPhone that's eaten too many pies), I'm even more glad I got the current model.
If you want a 3.7" device, get the current Desire.
If you want a 4.3" device, get the Desire HD.
Most of the other specs are the same.
Meh, I prefer the aesthetics of the Desire over the DHD.
And once again, go for the Desire. Some great value contracts available and I think 3.2" is big enough, let alone 3.7"
In that case, shouldn't we be calling the Desire the HTC Bravo? I'm pretty sure the Ace is the pre-release name, with Desire HD likely to be the official release name.
Ah, I didn't know that, I thought that the internal organs would be as different as the outside. I'd only hold out for the HD if it had more internal storage as well as a better CPU and more RAM. I guess my question(s) have been answered.
Can't argue with this advice. To me, the Ace (I refuse to use the name 'Desire HD' as it makes out that the Desire isn't HD capable) is just meh. I'd take the Desire over it any day as I like my phone to actually fit in my pocket easily and having a slightly better camera doesn't win the deal for me either - if I want great pictures, I use my camera.
A lot of people complain about battery life on the desire, think what battery life will be like on the hd with a bigger screen, also you will need more pocket space as the phone will be bigger too.
In reply to question 1, I imagine by the time the Ace/DHD/Obese iPretender hits the market that the bugs in froyo will be ironed out, and many more devs will have enabled the move to SD feature making internal storage less of an issue. Also rooting gives you ways around this anyway, so I wouldnt worry about the internal storage too much.
Just to add guys, do not be decived by the Megapixel Myth. Having more megapixels does not mean that your pictures will be better quality !!! It does however mean that you can blow them up larger but on the normal computer screen, you will most likely not notice the difference.
What matters most in photography is the cameras CMOS and the type of optics used. If the Desire HD has the same CMOS and optical lens as the normal Desire then you will NOT see significant difference in the pictures you take even tough the have added 3 more mega pixels.
Yup, basically the same but with a larger screen and more megapixels on the camera.
Get the Desire unless a strong camera matters to you.
Disagree, The desires camera is actually pretty good. The 3mp extra will add very little, seriously, nothing like enough to base a purchase off.
Basically, if you want a larger screen wait, if not get the desire now. What would I do? Probably get the desire because i'm so impatient, although my final goal is a phone with a 4.3" screen.
Guys don't jump the gun yet on the specs. It's only been rumored to have a 1 Ghz CPU, remember the original rumors said it would be 1.5 Ghz. So i would wait to hear about the specs, we might be in for a surprise (here's hoping).
It's about the number of pixels, not the size of the screen.
Also, because it's bigger, it may have a bigger, better battery inside.
Indeed - we don't know the full specs yet. As the OP's concern is longevity then as a rule you'd expect that the latest flagship is the best bet, though if size and camera Mpix turn out to be the only real differences this may not make much difference. But size matters too: if you have big hands this may be just the thing, but otherwise a phone that is not comfortable to use is a very bad investment.
In the end it's personal - if you intend to keep the phone for a few years, and think you might prefer the new beastie, then wait a little until we know more about it (but remember there will always be *something* round the corner). Right now the Desire's a fine phone, it has actually only been out a few months, and you can count on support from the dev community for some time to come, so I don't think it's a bad choice (but I would say that since I only bought mine a few weeks ago ).

My View: America's metal mines support 21st century technology
By Kevin L. Kearns
When most Americans think of "mining," they think of the past. They envision an old 1840's gold mine—or something out of a "Wild West" movie. In truth, domestic mining has gone high-tech, thanks to digital systems controlling both automated production and safety equipment. But modern mining is not proving indispensable in the digital age, thanks to the raw materials it provides for the construction of high-tech products like smartphones, electric cars, solar panels, and wind turbines.
Let's consider the average smartphone. It consists of roughly 40 percent metal and mineral components, including copper, gold, platinum, and silver. Smartphones also require an array of lesser-known minerals and metals like graphite (used in battery construction), or the thin layer of tin oxide needed to coat a touchscreen. Overall, a typical smartphone may contain as many as 62 different metals.
It's not just phones that rely on metals and minerals, though. Almost every technology-based device needed in the 21st-century economy depends on a number of key resources. Laptop computers alone require significant amounts of gold, silver, platinum, palladium, copper, tin and other metals.
If America hopes to transition to a green economy, including more sources of renewable energy, it's important to consider that solar panels require plenty of gold and silver in their construction. Hybrid car batteries need zinc and lithium. And wind turbines require not just iron, but copper and molybdenum, too. This interconnection between mining and high-tech helps to explain why the U.S. Department of Energy has made minerals a national priority, especially since they now contribute significantly to a variety of new energy technologies.
There's also President Trump's call for a $1 trillion infrastructure investment package. To move forward on such a plan, the nation will need copious new supplies of many different metals and minerals, including the iron and steel for new bridges. As just one example, the new Tappan Zee Bridge under construction outside of New York City requires 100,000 tons of steel. It's also worth noting that some 6 billion tons of steel has already been used in the U.S. National Highway System.
In addition to iron, there's an ongoing need for copper in the nation's infrastructure, which is essential to the wiring that keeps national transit systems like Amtrak running. Silver is critical to large-scale water filtration systems. And due to its super strength, molybdenum is a key component in alloys used in the construction of large buildings and bridges.
All of this is made possible because America's mining sector is more high-tech than ever. Mining may seem to be a vestige of our past. But Americans should recognize that the minerals and metals being mined every day enable them to enjoy key products of the digital age, from consumer and energy products to state-of-art healthcare equipment like x-ray machines and medical imaging devices.
Thankfully, the United States possesses tremendous minerals reserves. If managed properly, such mineral wealth can help America avoid becoming dependent on overseas suppliers whose mining sectors follow less stringent environmental standards. In fact, the United States would face a less secure future if other countries were able to control supplies of key metals and minerals.
As America embarks on ever greater advances in technology, mining is playing a key role in supplying the raw materials needed to make these new products possible. And so, far from being a "thing of the past," mining is now helping to bring America into a new, high-tech age.

How to Remove a 1994 Ford F150 Radio
by Jule Pamplin
The Ford F150 is one of the most widely sold vehicles in the world, and the most widely sold truck ever (according to Motor Trend). One characteristic of the Ford F150 truck and of most Ford vehicles is the procedure by which the factory-installed stereo is removed from the vehicle's dashboard. Ford uses a system that requires special tools to easily remove factory-installed radios for repair, augmentation or replacement. You can purchase the DIN removal keys online or at brick and mortar retail stores.
Lift the hood of the Ford F150 truck and locate the vehicle's battery on the right side near the front of the engine compartment. Loosen the bolts that hold the negative battery cable to the negative terminal on the battery. Move the cable away from the battery until the radio removal is complete.
Insert the DIN removal keys into the openings on either side of the Ford stereo's faceplate. The keys slide into the vertically aligned holes.
Pull outward on the keys while pulling the radio toward you. The radio will slide from the dashboard. Pull the radio far enough so that you can reach the wiring connected to the rear of the unit.
Disconnect the wiring from the back of the radio. There are typically three connections made from the Ford to the radio: the antenna, the power supply from the battery and the speaker wires. There may be an aftermarket amplifier connected to the stereo; in that case, you will need to disconnect the patch cables from the radio as well.

Once the wiring is disconnected from the radio, pull the DIN removal keys from their slots.

Leave the negative battery cable disconnected from the battery until the radio is reinstalled or a new radio has been installed. Connecting and disconnecting electrical components with the negative battery cable connected to the battery can result in a short in the electrical system which can damage the components connected to the battery.

Q: How to modify HttpContext in ActionExecutionContext to deny the request with a body? The ActionExecutionContext is defined in a ActionFilter attribute.
Example:
 internal class TestAttribute : ActionFilterAttribute
 {
     public override void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext context)
     {

         context.HttpContext.Response.StatusCode = 400;

         //context.HttpContext.Response.Body
     }
 }

How do you make the response of the ActionExecutionContext's HttpContext have status code 400 (Bad Request), and to also have a body of for example "You have no access."
In ASP.NET you could easily do this with the following code:
HttpActionContext.Response = new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest)
{
   Content = "You have no access.";
}

You can define the status code by using
ActionExecutionContext.HttpContext.Response.StatusCode = 400;

but what about the contents, and is this really the best approach - to manually write in the status code number?

A: As suggested by dropoutcoder and stuartd, both approaches are valid and work perfectly!
internal class TestAttribute : ActionFilterAttribute
{
    public override void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext context)
    {
        // Suggested by dropoutcoder
        context.HttpContext.Response.Clear();
        context.HttpContext.Response.WriteAsync("You have no access").Wait();
        context.HttpContext.Response.StatusCode = 400;

        // Suggested by stuartd
        context.Result = new BadRequestObjectResult("You have no access");
    }
}
