NJ EDA Initiatives Related to Governor Murphy's Economic Plan
By Aimee Conant, CPA
"The State of Innovation: Building a Stronger and Fairer Economy in New Jersey"
In early October 2018, Governor Murphy released his new economic plan entitled "The State of Innovation: Building a Stronger and Fairer Economy in New Jersey." This plan looks to achieve five key goals by 2025:
Driving faster job growth over this period than all Northeast peer states by fostering a better, more supportive business climate;
Achieving faster median wage growth than all Northeast peer states;
Creating the most diverse innovation ecosystem in the nation and doubling venture capital investment in the state;
Closing the racial and gender wage and employment gaps; and
Encouraging thriving and inclusive New Jersey urban centers and downtowns, with a focus on reducing poverty.
Achieving these goals will be accomplished by focusing on four strategic priorities:
Investing in people to help all New Jersey residents prepare for and find work that supports and sustains families and investments in our future;
Investing in communities to build world-class cities, towns, and infrastructure statewide;
Making New Jersey the State of Innovation to harness the power of innovation to create more and better jobs across the state; and
Making government work better to improve New Jersey's competitiveness and business climate.
With these goals and priorities in mind, the Governor is working with the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (EDA) to put his plan into action. The following updates from the EDA Press Room reflect the activities in the works:
Launched the 21st Century Redevelopment Program to help communities revive under- utilized properties. This program will provide planning grants for communities to develop solutions for repurposing local vacant or underutilized commercial and retail properties as part of the commitment to "Invest in Communities." The 21st Century program will launch as a pilot round of up to $250,000 in funding available in the form of planning grants of up to $50,000 per recipient. Communities can apply for funding through the 21st Century Redevelopment Program to support ideas that focus on a number of elements including:
Determining cost benefits of retrofitting, redeveloping or reengineering a property or properties;
Driving economic growth for the facility and region;
Creating greater social, economic and environmental sustainability
Expanding affordable and multifamily housing;
Attracting employers and a diverse, talented workforce;
Expanding entrepreneurial opportunities and supporting local businesses;
Promoting walkable neighborhoods and improving accessibility and mobility
Connecting to public transportation; and
Improving livability and healthy outcomes for local population.
Through the Innovation Challenge, launched a second round of funding which will be made available for communities for the development of economic development plans to augment their local innovation ecosystems. This announcement supports "Investment in Communities" and "Making New Jersey the State of Innovation" – both pillars of Governor Murphy's economic development plan. Through the second round of the Innovation Challenge, up to $500,000 will be available in the form of grants of up to $100,000 each for plans that may focus on several key areas including, but not limited to:
Increasing opportunities to grow or expand clusters of dynamic companies;
Encouraging the growth and expansion of incubators and other innovations-supportive real estate spaces;
Providing STEM training and connections to careers; and
Building a culture of entrepreneurship.
Applications for both the 21st Century Redevelopment Program and the second round of the Innovation Challenge are expected to be available beginning in November 2018.
The first round of the Innovation Challenge concluded this past summer granting $100,000 each to the City of Bridgeton, the City of New Brunswick, Passaic County, the City of Trenton, Atlantic County, the City of Atlantic City, Camden County, Township of Union and Monmouth County for their planning proposals.
The proposal of the New Jersey Innovation Evergreen Fund (NJIEF), which proposes to invest a total of approximately $500 million in capital into promising startups with the potential to scale up and create jobs. The NJIEF would raise approximately $250 million in capital by competitively auctioning new state tax credits to New Jersey corporations who want to participate in the innovation economy. The Fund would then invest the auction proceeds, alongside at least $250 million in funds from venture capital firms, into qualifying startups. Details will be finalized through the legislative process.
The approval of the Access Program, a new small business loan available through the EDA. This $15 million program will provide increased access to capital for small businesses to scale their operations in New Jersey. The EDA will launch Access as a 12-month pilot program that will provide financing to small businesses in New Jersey – either in the form of direct loans or through participations or guarantees of a loan through one of EDA's 26 Premier Lender Partners. The pilot program will allow the EDA to gauge the program's effectiveness as well as evaluate market feedback. Basic eligibility requirements for both categories of loans include:
The business has been in operation for at least two full years;
The average historical and global debt service over the past two years is at least 1.25x; and
The FICO score for 50% of the personal guarantors must be at least 700.
Participation in the Incubator and Collaborative Workspace Rent Initiative (ICWRI) where, through the EDA, new start-ups will be assisted with rent at incubators, accelerators and other collaborative workspaces. The EDA will make an initial investment of $500,000 in the program and will provide grants for two, four, or six months of rent payments, with the workspace committing to subsidize half that amount. For a start-up, there is a maximum benefit of $15,000. In addition, the EDA will provide up to three months of bonus support if the collaborative workspace is (1) recently established, (2) in an Opportunity Zone census tract, or (3) affiliated with a hospital system or New Jersey University (one month for each category).
The EDA has been active in its initiatives to move forward with the new economic plan.

The group of twenty of the world's largest and richest economies, the G20, could therefore make substantial progress in reviving the global economy if they agreed on the following key steps.
First, the G20 should endorse the European Union proposal for a global financial transactions tax (FTT) at the forthcoming G20 summit in Cannes, France in early November 2011. As I suggest in my Natural Resources Forum article, a very small FTT collected on the sale of financial assets, such as stock, bonds or futures, would have a negligible impact on liquidity or overall financial transactions, but could raise substantial funds globally. For example, a Gates Foundation report has estimated that even a small tax of 0.10% on equities and 0.05% on bonds could bring in about $48 billion from G20 member states. A variant of the FTT is a currency transaction tax (CTT), which is a charge applied to any foreign currency exchange transaction. Foreign exchange transactions totaled US$800 trillion in 2007, which means that a CTT of only 0.05% could raise $400 billion in revenues for global public goods, such as aid to poor economies, climate change mitigation and ecosystem conservation. Such small tax rates would not deter financial speculation but they would ensure that the global financial sector contributes to a more sustainable and a fairer world economy.
Second, the G20 should follow through on the pledge by its leaders at the 24-25 September 2009 Pittsburgh summit to phase out all fossil fuel subsidies. As I note in an article in Environmental Innovation and Societal Transitions, fossil fuel consumption subsidies globally amounted to $557 billion in 2008. Production subsidies accounted for an additional $100 billion. Together, these subsidies account for roughly 1% of world GDP. Such fossil fuel consumption and production subsidies are an additional market failure preventing improved energy efficiency in economies. By artificially lowering the cost of using fossil fuels, such subsidies deter consumers and firms from adopting energy efficiency measures that would otherwise be cost-effective in the absence of any subsidies. Removal of such perverse incentives would therefore boost energy savings substantially. Phasing out all fossil fuel consumption and production subsidies by 2020 could result in a 5.8% reduction in global primary energy demand and a 6.9% fall in greenhouse gas emissions.
Third, ideally the G20 should adopt environmental pricing policies, whether through cap and trade or taxes, that would ensure that carbon and other pollutants, as well as water and scarce ecological resources, are no longer 'free' to use by their economies. However, as I maintain in my Natural Resources Forum article, at the very least the G20 should agree to implement a global carbon tax on greenhouse (GHG) emissions. Countries could introduce market penalties on GHG emissions at levels that are equalized across different regions and industries. The tax would be set low initially and rise steadily over time to reflect the rising damages from global warming. Estimated revenues from such a scheme could range from $318 to $980 billion by 2015 (in 2005 prices) and $527 to $1,763 billion by 2030. Again, these revenues could be used to finance global public goods, such as aid to combat poverty, climate change mitigation and ecosystem conservation, or alternatively countries could invest in building their human capital through education, skills development and job training. Equally, the revenues raised through carbon taxes and other environmental pricing measures could be used to reduce income, payroll and other taxes, or to instigate wholesale tax reform.
If the G20 takes these three steps, not only will the result boost the global economy in the short run but also promote sustainable growth through taxing "bads" rather than "goods".

The 1942 Florida Gators football team represented the University of Florida during the 1942 college football season. The season was Tom Lieb's third as Florida's head coach. By the autumn of 1942, World War II had begun to affect many college football programs. Florida lost several players and most of its coaching staff to the war effort before the season, and lost several more players during the season, leading to diminishing success as the schedule progressed.

The Gators began the season 3–1 but lost their final six contests to finish with a 3–7 overall record. Their 1–3 conference record placed ninth among twelve teams in the SEC.

Although there are several forms of bilinguism, in a general way one could say that being bilingual is knowing how to use two languages on a daily basis (speaking, understanding, writing and reading) in a balanced way.
A bilingual education stimulates the development of a lively intellectual mind and helps in acquiring further foreign languages.
The choice of a language
A wonderfully useful language, spoken throughout the world, English as a second language has logically been chosen in the International Bilingual School's programme.
The role of the International Bilingual School
The school allows the youngest of our students to become bilingual
and maintains that of those already bilingual.The school also enables students from other countries who do not speak french to integrate into the schooling system.
French speaking students who are not bilingual and join the school in the middle of a cycle also benefit from this specific environment which encourages and stimulates the students to learn foreign languages.

A team of scientists has identified a pair of 100-million-year-old fossilised bird tracks – the oldest ever discovered in Australia. The fossilised tracks, likely made by two individual birds, each the size of a heron, were found at the famous Dinosaur Cove site, approximately 125 miles south-west of Melbourne (Victoria). The tracks were discovered as part of a long term project being conducted by a team of scientists including Museum Victoria's Dr Tom Rich, Dr Patricia Vickers-Rich and Michael Hall from Monash University and Dr Anthony Martin from Emory University in the United States.
One of the problems ichnologists have (ichnology is the study of trace fossils, specifically foot prints and tracks), is distinguishing between tri-dactyl dinosaur footprints typically made by members of the Theropoda and those made by birds that lived alongside the Dinosauria. The back toe (hallux) may not leave an impression so it is very difficult to tell the difference between the two.
Site reveals trace fossils of ancient birds.
Dinosaur Cove has produced a remarkable number of fossil finds over the last forty years or so. This location, in combination with the East Gippsland locations has revealed a diverse assemblage of vertebrate fossils including the dinosaurs Leaellynasaura, Qantassaurus, as well as numerous Theropods, Pterosaurs, fish, giant Labyrinthodont amphibians, turtles and potentially evidence of Ornithomimid dinosaurs – a first for Australia. What is remarkable is that, this part of Australia was at approximately 75 degrees south for much of the Early Cretaceous. The area was covered by extensive polar forests and for nearly two months of the year, the high southerly latitude meant that there was total darkness, with the sun not appearing above the horizon during the winter. In the summer, there were periods of 24-hour daylight. The research team are unsure as to whether these bird tracks were made by residents or migrants that came to the area to exploit the 24-hour feeding opportunity during the summer months.
The bird tracks are estimated to be around 105 million years old, making them the oldest evidence uncovered to date of Aves in Australia.
105 million year old bird tracks.
Everything Dinosaur would like to thank Museum Victoria for their help in putting together this article.

Olympic Plaza in Calgary, Alberta
Constructed during the lead up to the 1988 Winter Olympic Games in Calgary, Alberta, Olympic Plaza was originally created as a venue for medal ceremonies and celebrations. In addition, with its prime location in downtown Calgary, Olympic Plaza was also designed to be a communal gathering place and urban park to bring citizens into the heart of the city.
Today, Olympic Plaza is still an outdoor event space, hosting everything from concerts and community festivals. In the winter the area is transformed, and the plaza becomes a public ice-skating rink. With views of the Calgary Tower and surrounding skyline, Olympic Plaza remains a beautiful example of Calgary's time in the Olympic spotlight. Other great places to explore Calgary's Olympic past include Canada Olympic Park and Canada's Sports Hall of Fame. You owe it to yourself to see Olympic Plaza in person the next time you're in downtown Calgary.

Oof, I truly do not envy the devs tasked with making these games.
On the one hand, Disney is likely not going to let them make an actual MCU game because the MCU continuity is so tightly orchestrated, and any story set in that universe would immediately be thought of as a canon part of the whole. Agents of Shield and the Netflix shows being relegated to "maybe part of the multiverse somewhere" is a pretty clear sign Kevin Feige isn't allowing anything he doesn't have a direct hand in.
Yet at the same time, it's clear that the MCU portrayals of these characters have now become so engrained in our popular culture, the devs (I guess) feel like they have to hew pretty close to the mold in order to connect to that existing audience.
I think it puts them in this really awkward middle situation where they're trying to do both, and convincing people of neither. It's exacerbated by the corporate lingo they keep tossing around where they claim they're "doing their own spin on these character," which only draws more attention to how much they're not.
The Avengers game suffered from this to a degree, the doppleganger syndrome I've discussed before, but the footage of Guardians looks way more flagrant to me, in that the personalities of the team look lifted straight from James Gunn's pen.
Don't get me wrong here, the Guardians game looks really cool and I'm excited to play it. But I almost wonder if this "Marvel game universe" SquareEnix is crafting wouldn't have been better served by simply leaning into an entirely different direction, to avoid the comparisons. Perhaps something with more stylized art, a la Ultimate Alliance, or super faithful to the comics, or maybe even just super dark and gritty just for shits and giggles.

First, I agree about the beard. It's strange and I don't think I like it. Second, I think it's this way for any other incarnation of something like this that's had a number of movie adaptations. I watched the animated series and the characters resemble what I believe them to be, but they don't look exactly the same as in the movies and they certainly don't sound the same. The thing is that many of us were exposed to the Guardians via the MCU, so that's like a baseline image of what they look like, how they act, and what… Read more »

In Spain they have used the same voice actors for the video game, so the shock is "bigger". Is true that at first look, you think "they don't look like the movies" but then you remember all their incarnation and styles and say "well, one more universe".
Bwauder
Its the same bugbear that has caused problems for every adaption game since ET for the Atari. There's no way to completely emulate the movie/book/series the game is developed from without making it overly predictable and is virtually impossible anyway, but if you drift too far from the established plot and character development, the screams of this isn't "whatever" as i recognise it take over. And then there's the absolute fails or no real attempts that seem to be named after the franchises just to garner sales, not respect. Marketing in the current environment means there is no escape from… Read more »

Are they complaining that the characters will look like a cross between the movie and comic versions? >_>
I feel like some game producer really needs to step up and just get permission to do what they want with their games. We are talking big bucks here, if someone's sole job was to get full permission to fully do a MCU game with everything, they will earn their paycheck if they do that and nothing else. Even if they are getting paid six figures. So get it done.
Olivier gagnon
Licensed games are where they put the new coding and artist recruits to gain experience. Do not look deeper than that. So these games raise as little waves as possible as the objective isnt trophies, good reviews or profit. It's the expertise. Its college football.
Private IP games is where they put their A team, the NFL, where a studio puts their effort.
The thing I don't understand is someone at Square Enix really sucks at negotiating rights to intellectual property. The same people that sold them the rights to Marvel characters is the same company that owns the MCU rights.
Even if there is some actors rights of refusal, not having the main characters of the game look like the most popular version creates a sort of uncanny valley. They still could get close with screen accurate costumes without the facial structure… but instead they go with a comic book look that most consumers haven't seen.

That beard looks phallic……….
Yeah all the characters in these two games just end up looking like movie stunt doubles. It's not a good look from any perspective.
Bakamoichigei
They should just suck it up and get the rights to the actors' likenesses and throw a big "PROBABLY NOT CANON" disclaimer on it to please everybody. Because every time I see one of these """"Marvel"""" games that look like it's starring the characters' stunt doubles, or the dollar store versions, I roll my eyes so hard I have to spend the next six hours groping around blindly on the floor for them. Is Marvel afraid that non-canon MCU videogames are going to dilute the brand? You know what fkn dilutes the brand? GAMES FULL OF DOLLAR STORE ACTION FIGURE… Read more »

Reply to Bakamoichigei
That's a great way to blow the budget on something that's not really important to the game.
I mean, would you rather play an unpolished dump of a 6/10 that has Chris Pratt in it, or would you rather play a solid and enjoyable 8.5/10 Marvel game? I mean, Square's gotta be paid, Disney's gotta be paid, now you want the actors to be paid… when 95% of your budget goes to "Make it look like this licensed property," only like 5% goes to "Make it fun to play."
This is how we get loot boxes, people.
Reply to Eldest Gruff
I'd rather they either got the likeness rights, or went with unique designs instead of these uncanny valley dollar store knockoffs that attempt to trade on the familiarity of the MCU characters. These characters existed before the MCU, put a new twist on old designs.
Robert Loughrey
For me its the gameplay. If the gameplay is good after 15 minutes I'll have adapted to the new look. Yeah I'll feel it at the get go, but if the game is good enough, I'll do fine. I actually experienced my first Witcher game after the TV series. It went exactly like that – because the game was good.
To me, it's all just window dressing.
If the Marvel multiverse is so vast it has thousands of different versions of the same exact heroes in different possible outcomes, then not only are you going to get little oddballs like Spider-Ham and Spider-Gwen, but folk who are just a little bit different, like Peter B.
So whatever. Make 'em close to the original comic, or closer to the film. Make 'em with a gross little beard, but just don't make 'em looking like Chris Pratt, because then you have to pay the guy, and then there goes your budget.

True to a degree, but sometimes it's pretty cut-and-dried. Characters like Rocket and Wolverine are grumpy and aggressive. Spider-Man is jokey and flippant. Groot is earnest and seemingly simple at times. I think there's a lot of characters that the MCU, and other Marvel movies, didn't really change that much from how they've been depicted in the comics for years.

Spider-man didn't have this problem at all. Insomniac's take on Peter Parker looked fine, even with the change in appearance for the PS5 version. No comparison was made to any of the live-action actors. If they could pull it off, it's weird these devs can't.
Unagiman
Definitely a problem that I have with the continued push towards making everything more sharp and photorealistic. One of my favorite game franchises is Borderlands and I give them a lot of credit for having its own style. Yes I'm sure someone can point out graphical/stylistic influences on their style that prevent it being truly "unique" but it at least gives its own feel to the games. I'd think that'd be a really smart move for Marvel games.

To save money, I decided to switch to VOIP. The big player is Vonage. They spend huge amounts on advertising and charge $25/month for unlimited calling. There are several other companies that offer $20/month calling but are less well-known. I decided to pick one of those. I chose Packet8, partly because they told me they had Enhanced 911 (E-911) in my area. Vonage was still rolling it out.
So, I signed up and got the phone adapter in the mail.
Very noticeable delay during conversations. Delay not noticeable.
Dial 012-0555 for voicemail Dial *123 for voicemail.
Receive an email upon voicemail.
Listen to voicemails over the internet.
Lousy web site. Hard to navigate. Doesn't do much. Great web site. Easy to use. Change phone options, view call history, listen to voicemail, etc.
The issue with delay was not resolved. My first phone call to technical support resulted in a lot of router tweaking, but it didn't do any good. The problem occurs even when the phone adapter is connected directly to the cable modem (cutting off my PC). This is definitely an issue with Packet 8. I sent two follow-up emails. Packet 8 promised a call from a level 2 technical support representative. I waited a few weeks without hearing from them and then switched to Vonage. Ah… life is so much better.
$59 disconnect fee after first 30 days (will not waive for unresolved technical support issues) $40 disconnect fee refunded when you return the device.
No lower-cost option $15/month for 500 minutes. 3 cents a minute for additional minutes.
Since I don't use much more than 500 minutes/month anyhow, Vonage is not only better, it's also cheaper!
Actually, it turns out I do use more than 500 minutes/month. (Well, I don't, but someone in the household does…).
The other VOIP companies charge similar fees in addition to their advertised rates.

but of course you have to use Vonage for long enough to make up for the disconnect fee!

My Rochester Vonage service now has enhanced 911. They are tacking on a $1 fee for it on my monthly bill. I have even had the opportunity to verify with a 911 operator that they received it.

When I was organizing my NeedlePointer's magazines, I couldn't resist thumbing through them and I found Jean Hilton's Diamond Bargello design. It is in the April/May 1996, volume XXIV, No. 3 issue.
I modified the design to fit the 4″ x 4″ space for this set of bookends. It was originally an 8″ x 12″ design. What I especially liked about the design for the bookends was how the motion of the pattern pushes the books together.
Speaking of books, I used A Pageant of Pattern for Needlepoint Canvas by Sherlee Lantz with diagrams by Maggie Lane to showcase the bookends. I am surprised by the variety of prices for this book on various sites. It ranges from $10 to $288 (I got mine used for $4). I do like the diagrams but what I really like are the historical notes associated with some of the patterns. Most are adapted or re-interpreted from photographed needlework but some stitch patterns are invented by the author and she clearly notes this distinction.

In a little over two years, I have posted about 250 bread-related posts. Nearly 200 of those have been original recipes. No, I didn't count them. It's based on the way I label my posts.
Two. Hundred. That's a LOT of bread recipes. Okay, some were crackers and flatbreads and quickbreads, and similar non-loafy things. But they're still in the bread family.
And that doesn't count the breads that I've made in those two years that I didn't post about. Because I don't post every single bread. This explains why I buy yeast by the pound. No worries about it going stale here.
After than many loaves (and other shapes) of bread, you might think that I would run out of ideas. That the proverbial well would run dry. I'll admit that sometimes I have to give it some thought. What haven't I made lately? Is it time for an alternative flour? Should I play around with shapes?
But once I start brainstorming, I usually end up with two or three or more ideas that I want to work on so I can post about them. There's always something new to be made.
This time, the idea started with bacon. Yes, bacon. The universal cheater food that makes any dish an instant hit with the judges on food competition shows. Except when the judges decide it's pandering.
But it's not like I throw bacon around here willy-nilly. But now, it's time. Bacon bread. Or, more appropriately, Bacon!!! Bread.
But bacon wasn't enough. I decided that I wanted just a little more. Maple. Yep, instead of sugar, I used maple syrup. And to enhance the maple flavor even more, I added just a bit of maple extract.
This bread would be the perfect vehicle for a scrambled egg sandwich, don't you think? Or French toast. Or, a tomato and mayo sandwich.
When you cook the bacon, make sure you reserve 2 tablespoons of the fat for the bread. I suggest cooking it so that it's super-crisp and crumbly.
Put the water, yeast, maple syrup, and bread flour in the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the bread hook. Knead until the dough becomes smooth and elastic. Add the salt, maple extract (if using) crumbled bacon, and bacon fat. Continue kneading until all the ingredients are well integrated.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, line a baking sheet with parchment or sprinkle with cornmeal, and flour your work surface.
Turn out the dough and press it gently to degas. Form it into a tight ball, sealing the seam at the bottom. Place the dough, seam-side down, on the prepared baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside until doubled, about 40 minutes.
Move the bread to a rack to cool completely before slicing.

How Would ZTE Ban on Procuring US Tech Supplies Impact the Smartphone Market?
ZTE is in some serious mid-year crisis. A recent sanction by US Department of Commerce has prohibited US technology companies from exporting their products to ZTE for a period of seven long years. The latest ban comes as result of the disobedience of a previous sanction imposed on the Chinese OEM regarding illegitimate sale of US-developed technology products to political arch-rival countries like Iran and North Korea.
Very recently, the US government imposed a similar ban on China's largest smartphone manufacturer, Huawei. The ban while affecting Huawei's revenue to some slight extent, failed to create a major crisis for the company. Firstly, Huawei has been growing strong with a marked YoY increase in terms of both revenue and profit. Additionally, it wasn't as dependent on Qualcomm as ZTE, mostly due to its own system-on-chip (SoC) making prowess. Huawei has used its in-house Hi-Silicon based Kirin processors in its flagship devices too, and that includes the newly launched P20 and P20 Pro.
Unlike Huawei, the Shenzhen-based ZTE would be adversely affected by the sanction inflicted on them by the US government. Some analysts go to the extent of claiming that ZTE is now dead. Well, that may not be entirely true as of yet; but the situation is graver than you possibly think. In fact, the ban would not just affect ZTE; but shake up the smartphone market by a significant extent. Here's our take on the possible results of the latest sanction on the world's second-largest telecom equipment manufacturer and one of the top global smartphone vendor.
Android May Lose its 9th Largest Global Smartphone Manufacturer
The seven-year ban imposed by US Department of Commerce will affect ZTE's partnership with Google. Analysts believe that the ban would cut off ZTE from the world of Android, as the OS is essentially the US produce, and the sanction imposed on the firm covers not just hardware components but also software originating from the country. Neither ZTE or Google has come up with an official confirmation regarding the news, and whether or not it will affect the Chinese OEM's ability to sell Android-based smartphones.
Force ZTE to Limit its Smartphone Market to China
Even if ZTE passes away with the right of using the Android OS, it would in most cases be barred from using Google Play Services and the host of other apps developed by the Mountain View-based giant. This would essentially limit ZTE's market presence only to China, as it very unlikely for consumers outside China to show interest in an Android smartphone that lacks the basic Google apps which includes the likes of Gmail, Google Maps, Google Drive and so on. For starters, the smartphones sold by ZTE in China comes with Baidu and other China-specific apps like Weibo and WeChat; due to the ban imposed on the use of Google, Facebook and WhatsApp by the Chinese government.
Axon Lineup of Devices May Cease to Exist
The ban would severely affect ZTE's smartphone manufacturing prowess. Its Axon lineup of flagship devices is currently powered by mobile platforms sourced from none other than US-based leading chipmaker Qualcomm. However, the newly imposed ban would cut off the company from Qualcomm's supply chain, and thereby force them to either dump the flagship Axon range completely or look out for some other chipmaker for supplying the sheer firepower for its premium lineup. Moreover, very few chips out there are capable of matching up with Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 845 which was supposed to make its way to the ZTE Axon 9. Only, the Exynos 9810 comes close to the Snapdragon in terms of performance, but it's very unlikely for the Chinese OEM to be able to source components from Samsung.
Fate of the World's First Foldable Smartphone Hangs in Darkness
Not just the Axon 9, the fate of the world's first foldable prototype smartphone aka ZTE Axon M also looms in darkness. It's powered by the last generation Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 processor and additionally relies on a few other Qualcomm's patented technologies.
Fuel Demand for Mediatek and Exynos Processors
Gauging the current scenario, it's not hard to expect increased demand for Mediatek chips, most of which would be fueled by none other than ZTE. With that said, none of Mediatek's current lineup of SoCs is capable of matching up with the likes of Qualcomm or Exynos. This would effectively force ZTE out of the flagship market, and convert them primarily into a budget or mid-range smartphone maker.
Surge Increase in Local Chinese SoC Manufacturer
Some analysts believe that the Chinese government would push small-scale industries based in the country to venture into chip development. These enterprises would, in turn, be technologically backed by industry heavyweights like ZTE, Oppo, and Vivo; thereby resulting in a complete backfire of USA's anti-China move. Currently, Xiaomi and Huawei are the only two major Chinese players who are ramping up their chip designing capabilities.
Deter Major Chinese OEMs like Xiaomi, Oppo, and Vivo from entering USA
Until very recently, a large number of leading Chinese smartphone manufacturers were planning to expand their market by adding the not only impact ZTE's network businessUS to its sales map. These OEMs includes the likes of Xiaomi and BBK Electronics based sub-brands Oppo and Vivo. The subsequent ban on Huawei and ZTE is likely to dishearten most of them from betting big on the world's most profitable smartphone market.
Slow-down 5G Development by Affecting ZTE's Networking Business
The US technology supplies ban doesn't only encompass the smartphone market, as its effect is set to affect ZTE's main cash cow; specifically, its networking business. ZTE is currently, the world's second largest telecommunication hardware manufacturer. And just like its smartphone business, that too is widely dependent on US supplies.
In what seems to be a repercussion of the ban imposed by US Dept. of Commerce, UK based National Cyber Security Cell (NCSC) has warned local telcos from using network products developed by ZTE. This would not only impact ZTE's network business but also hinders the development of 5G. Apparently, Huawei and ZTE were the fore-runner in the development of hardware surrounding the upcoming and highly anticipated 5G network. ZTE's doom may, however, act as a blessing in disguise for Huawei; resulting in the company gaining a near monopoly in the market.
Apart from all these, it would be interesting to see if the ZTE ban on procuring the US developed foreign supplies affect its nubia sub-brand. Moreover, ZTE is all set to unveil its gaming smartphone under a new Red Magic brand in China later today, however, it's hard to expect a prospective future for the brand especially when the fate of its parent firm looms in darkness.

The gorges de la Nesque via Monieux, 8,3km
(D / A) Take the tarmac road that goes north-northeast towards the village of Monieux, marked Yellow and Orange.
Arriving on the D942, cross it to take in front the street that goes right towards the remains of the castle.
(1) At the next crossroads, take Rue Pré d'Estève on the left which indicates the direction of GR9. Very quickly, the tar gives way to a small path that runs along a house on the right (a large crucifix adorns the gable). The trail joins the GR9, marked Red and White, continue straight on the mountainside with views of the lake. Join a cross at a level.
(2) Turn left at the signpost of the Chapel Trail. At the next junction, the trail leads to two wider paths, continue on the left, to very quickly arrive on the road (D942).
(3) Cross it and begin the descent in the gorge towards the Saint-Michel Chapel. A sign warns of danger because there are overhanging cliffs, but if you do not move away from the trail, there is nothing to fear.
(4) Arrived at the Saint-Michel chapel, just after, cross the Nesque towards Saint-Hubert and La Peisse (this fording can be difficult after heavy rains). The trail goes up on the left bank under overhanging cliffs, then offers magnificent views higher up, on the passages in balcony. At a crossroads, go left, (leave the path that goes to the right). Join a T-junction at the sign La Peisse.
(5) Leave the GR and turn left towards Monieux and Font de Jean, the signposting becomes Yellow and Orange.
(6) At Font de Jean junction, take the left lane towards Bourget Lake.
The path ends smoothly, then along the Nesque to reach the lake and the parking of departure (D / A).
Information The Gorges de la Nesque via Monieux:
Parking: Park at Bourget Lake in Monieux
Difficulty level: Medium - 8.3km - 3:15

I write code, this blog is a dream.
Until recently I used Adobe tools to deploy my applications on iOS and Android.
Since openFL is gaining momentum and seemed to reach a decent maturity level I wanted to use it for my next project.
Using high level abstracting libraries to get the job done is nice. But sometimes the better way is to just call this documented but not binded Obj-C function. That's what Adobe ANEs are for and they work quite well.
So how can we get the same freedom with openFL? Here's my first little extension attempt.
Now we have to compile the extension for each supported platform. This will feed the ndll/ folder.
Worked like a charm on Mac and my Android tablet!
I still have to learn how to link external libraries and frameworks and how to organize custom code for each platform but it's definitely a good start: it's easier than creating ANE's for Adobe Air.
I had linkage errors with iOS, I'll update this post when I'll find what's going wrong and how to do it the right way.
EDIT: It looks like my iOS problem is coming from an uppercase/lowercase inconsistency between platforms. Until this small bug is resolved you should be safe to experiment with lowercased extension names (as far as iOS is concerned).
EDIT: Definitely an uppercase/lowercase problem, here's the issue report so future readers will know when it is corrected.


Hi, I am Shilpa, and I am glad you dropped by for a visit!
You might be wondering what Metanoia means, isn't it?
Metanoia is an ancient Greek word that means a journey of change in one's heart, self, mind and way of life.
…a journey I really wanted to take up to bring about the transformation in myself and my writing that I felt I needed.
Change is good. And, as uncomfortable as it might feel, it helps us take a closer look at ourselves, our perspectives, our beliefs and helps us smooth out the rough edges and bring out the brilliance that we were born with.
Metanoia is a holistic health and wellness blog where I discuss topics related to physical, mental, spiritual and emotional health. Focusing on each of these aspects of our health is important to lead a truly healthy and a happy life. However, with the kind of rushed lives we lead, we often neglect our health and this causes various illnesses to manifest as the years go by.
Caring for our health is in our control. And, how we achieve it depends on our awareness about our health and how we care for it. Through my blog, I share my experiences and knowledge about healthcare, food and nutrition.

You can't cheat death
FINAL DESTINATION (15)
D: James Wong
New Line (Warren Zide, Craig Perry & Glen Morgan)
W: Glen Morgan, James Wong & Jeffrey Reddick
DP: Robert McLachlan

Mus: Shirley Walker
Devon Sawa (Alex Browning), Ali Larter (Clear Rivers), Kerr Smith (Carter Horton), Kristen Cloke (Valerie Lewton), Seann William Scott (Billy Hitchcock), Amanda Detmer (Terry Chaney), Tony Todd (William Bludworth)
Teen-orientated horror film which sees a high school student who foretells a plane crash shortly before departure. He and a handful of his student buddies manage to disembark before takeoff, watching in horror as the chilling prediction comes true.
They may have got one over on the grim reaper on this occasion, but death waits for no man, and the group of survivors find themselves haunted by strange events and fatal accidents.
The acting and screenplay may be incredibly cheesy and the general premise is ridiculously far-fetched, but it's little matter, since the death scenes are quite inventive and realised quite well with some grizzly, macabre visual effects.
Silly, but fun, and having the principal characters share a surname with a legend of the horror genre makes for quite a fitting homage.
For every beginning there is an end
FINAL DESTINATION 2 (15)
D: David R. Ellis
New Line (Warren Zide & Craig Perry)
W: J. Mackye Gruber & Eric Bress
DP: Gary Capo
Ed: Eric Sears
Ali Larter (Clear Rivers), A.J. Cook (Kimberley Corman), Michael Landes (Thomas Burke), T.C. Carson (Eugene Dix), Jonathan Cherry (Rory Peters)
Cash-in sequel which follows practically the same formula but substitutes a plane crash for a pileup on the motorway. One of the survivors from the first film is promoted to an "expert" on near-death experiences in this and swans around like cock of the walk while all the other characters are basically walking dead.
The death scenes are just as inventive as the first film but the story is complete codswallop. Two more sequels followed, both far inferior to this. Alas, as long as there's an audience there'll always be a Hollywood studio to exploit it.
This ride will be the death of you

Mary Elizabeth Winstead (Wendy), Ryan Merriman (Kevin), Kris Lemche (Ian), Alexz Johnson (Erin), Sam Easton (Frankie), Jesse Moss (Jason)
No aeroplane or traffic accident this time, in this third Final Destination film, it's a roller coaster which the main character cheats death on, leading to more of the same from the previous two movies.
It's difficult to care when the characters are so boring, but alas, it's only 93 minutes of a waste of time.
I enjoyed the first Final Destination movie for bringing something new to the genre, but after two movies, the same formula gets tired and I can't help but wonder if it needed to be a franchise at all. Clearly the studio did and wanted to squeeze every last penny out of it.
THE FINAL DESTINATION (FINAL DESTINATION 4) (15)
Warner Bros/New Line (Craig Perry & Warren Zide)
W: Eric Bress
DP: Glen MacPherson
Ed: Mark Stevens
Mus: Brian Tyler
Bobby Campo (Nick), Shantel VanSanten (Lori), Nick Zano (Hunt), Haley Webb (Janet), Mykelti Williamson (George), Krista Allen (Samantha)
You may very well hear the sound of the proverbial barrel being scraped in this fourth film of the Final Destination saga, which uses the stencil from the previous three movies, this time using a catastrophe at a motor racing event as the catalyst for death catching up with the survivors.
Mykelti Williamson adds some gravitas as the only adult amongst a cast of teens, but it's really difficult to care about characters who are so one-dimensionally written, especially the lead (Bobby Campo) who inextricably becomes an expert on the concept of death after the calamitous opening sequence.
The concept was utilised well in the first film, but it really has been done to death here, which was clearly rushed through post-production to cash-in on the 3D gimmick which was all too abundant around the time of release.
The Final Destination


A friend of mine loves to fish... he seems to live to fish.
I love to travel. I feel more at home when I am traveling than I do when I am "home".
So... what do you love to do?
what i love to in summertime, i love farts a lot in my apartment, and watch flies fall off my apartment's walls and ceiling.
because you don't paid rent, you smell it!
Playing: I've been hooked up with a basement band for about a year...almost weekly get togethers. "Jammin'" friend of +20yrs brought me in.
Listening: I've been a prog fan longer than I've known.
Seeing: Small halls. Got King Crimson tix when coming through town in Sept.
I love naps. If that counts as a thing.
I love to drive around. Even if it's a waste of gas, I love to drive around. It helps me think sometimes and I can relieve stress by doing so. If I'm unable to travel, I go to my next two favorite things: listening to music and poetry.
It varies...I'll go through months-long phases when I'll be really content researching and building my record collection...sometimes it's busying myself improving things in my yard. Recently it's been reading. Like...a lot...lots of reading.
These days, what I would love to do is different than what I have time to do.
But I'm not complaining, as the #1 thing I would love to do, which is spending quality time with family, is being met 100%.
I suppose, once I retire in 15 years, I will have a lot more time for "me" pursuits.
I love to listen to Live Lofi Streams on Youtube. Most of them have a chat room as well. It keeps me pretty chill throughout the day.
I used to play the piano when I was a kid. But I wasn't into that kind of music then, so I lost interest. But now I often turn on the Simply Piano Apple Music radio station and have it playing throughout the day in our house. It's very nice background music and sometimes even moving. It has given me the resolve to pick up playing myself again someday, probably one of my retirement pursuits lol. My mother still has the grand piano in her home that I played as a kid, passed down from my grandparents.
I'm also heavily into EDM, namely trance, and have dabbled in music creation programs that cater to this type of music, creating some highly danceable tunes. It's fun.
Always into Louis Armstrong and pretty much have every recording of him on major labels bought off iTunes and neatly arranged into a couple of playlists.
And of course, I never get tired of listening to punk, which is basically what I grew up on as a teenager. I was lucky enough to live in a city where it was thriving throughout the 80's and well into the 2000's, with the many offshoots of punk played regularly on the radio via 91X and the likes, as well as several bands touring through here and even originating from here (Blink being the obvious one). Radio is trash these days, but Apple Music has a nice playlist, named Rise and Grind, that they curate and update a weekly basis that is punk themed, so I can continue to be updated with the latest in that genre. I never seem to get tired of listening to it on shuffle.
I love to buried prince albert cans in my backyard, I love to see him dig his way out.
I used to love playing video games... now I don't even really care anymore.
Used to like Magic: The Gathering and a bunch of other things too... same thing.
This year was supposed to be different. This year was supposed to be different.
AND I LIKE TO SHARE MY SMELLY SOCKS WITH EVERYONE!!!
I like Magic too. do you play on line?
He just loves to fish.


A 4 metre replica of a Grand Central train! This project, for Arriva-owned Grand Central, was a real challenge! The refurbished trains were modelled inside and out to produce a model 4 m long. As with my Metro train in 2017, half was built by kids using my instructions, this time at the National Children's Museum Eureka! in Halifax. The model consists of two carriages, the front end with driver's cab, and the buffet carriage.
The model is kept in York, but will hopefully make appearances from time to time.
Where is it now: Grand Central's office in York, though it may tour!

Woman killed during Cannes Yachting Festival sea trial
Chris Jefferies
Authorities believe she panicked and jumped overboard after a large wave knocked the skipper off a 12m RIB
TAGS: Cannes Yachting Festival
The closing weekend of this year's Cannes Yachting Festival was overshadowed by news of a fatal accident on Saturday night (September 12).
Local authorities have confirmed that a 30-year-old Serbian journalist was killed instantly when she jumped off a 12m RIB during a sea trial at around 1900.
It is believed that she panicked and jumped into the sea after a large wave had thrown the skipper and another passenger overboard.
The authorities add that the RIB's killcord was not being used at the time of the incident.
The two men involved escaped unharmed, including the boat's owner and a second Serbian journalist, but the woman was killed instantly, most likely due to lacerations caused by the boat's propellers.
Saint Raphael maritime police and Cannes police have launched a joint investigation, adding that they intend to study video evidence of the incident.
Local reports suggest that the vessel involved was a Cantieri Magazzù MX-12 Grand Sport (pictured above), which was unveiled last week at the Cannes Yachting Festival, although this has not yet been confirmed.
At the time of writing, Cantieri Magazzù was not available for comment.

Britain's Post-Elizabethan Future Will Most Likely Be Diminished and Difficult
Brexit and the subsequent death of the Queen endanger national cohesion and international respect
What will the post-Elizabethan period of British history look like after Queen Elizabeth's funeral? Her seven decades of selfless service as an independent head of state and unifying figure in Britain and beyond deserve nothing less than the highest level of respect, regardless of one's feelings about the monarchy in democracies in general. However, much of what she stood for is now being called into question.
She argued for the seemingly contradictory union of the United Kingdom's four distinct nations under the banner of a single nation. However, at this point, Scotland is likely to leave the British Union to rejoin the European Union. People in Northern Ireland are increasingly seeing their future as intertwined with that of the Republic of Ireland as a kind of informal member of the European Union. Even if the United Kingdom does not return to being composed solely of England and Wales, a constitutional reordering will be required.
She personified ideas like continuity, security, and certainty
However, the United Kingdom is currently dealing with several issues, including a rising national debt, the possibility of a recession, and a persistent productivity problem. All of these issues are being handled by an inexperienced prime minister, Liz Truss, who is supported by an untested cabinet. There aren't many guarantees there. Despite Truss's trademark optimism, 69% of respondents in a recent opinion poll described Britain as being "in decline."
People all over the world paid attention to and respected the Queen
In fact, for a period of timesome time, she was almost certainly the most famous woman in the entire world. Her cameo appearance alongside James Bond at the 2012 London Olympics was seen by an estimated one billion people. In response to the news of her death, NASA tweeted, "As we join the planet in marking her passing…" Some of her allure was transferred to the United Kingdom, the country she represented. However, as a result of Brexit, Britain's international standing and influence have both reached all-time lows.
She was instrumental in ensuring a smooth transition from the British Empire to the Commonwealth, as well as the transformation of the United Kingdom from an imperial great power to a mid-sized Euro-Atlantic power. However, several former colonies and dominions for which she was still head of state are actively considering displacing her successor, King Charles III. This is true in the United Kingdom as well as several former colonies and dominions. According to one knowledgeable person in the Commonwealth, there may even be a "rush for the door." Furthermore, Charles III will face an increasing number of calls to acknowledge and make amends for the harmsharm caused by his empire.
The geopolitical uncertainty surrounding Britain itself is more concerning than any potential loss of those largely symbolic overseas offices. Dean Acheson, a former Secretary of State of the United States, told a famous joke in 1962 that the United Kingdom had "lost an empire and not yet found a role." Forty years later, in 2002, during the Queen's golden jubilee celebrations, it was possible to believe that the United Kingdom had finally found its place in the world. It was a case of "as well as and," somewhat in the spirit of France's current President, Emmanuel Macron. The UK would have a firm footing not only in Europe but also in the Anglosphere. It would have a one-of-a-kind relationship not only with the United States of America, but also with France, Germany, and Poland.
Few people outside of the United Kingdom believe that Britain currently has a clear and strong strategic position
This is the tragedy that has befallen my country: we discovered a post-imperial role but have been unable to sustain it. Since the Brexit referendum in 2016, the United Kingdom has gone from having a hapless but still relatively pragmatic Conservative prime minister (Theresa May) to have a parody of Winston Churchill (Boris Johnson), and then to have a parody of Margaret Thatcher (Theresa May) (Liz Truss). The proportion of exaggerated boasting has increased, while the proportion of factually accurate realism has decreased. There is a lot of meaningless talk about "global Britain," but no one knows what it means.
King Charles, the billionaire, is subject to one set of laws, while his impoverished subjects are subject to another
However, some of the international coverage has exaggerated the weakness that lies beneath the pomp and circumstance. The continuous coverage of Elizabeth II's funeral services in the United Kingdom may have provided a psychological escape from the problems at hand. This country has many advantages over others. Following the Brexit vote, widespread speculation suggested that the United Kingdom would be irreparably divided into two antagonistic camps known as remainers and leavers. The national solidarity shown in support of the NHS during the COVID pandemic and again in the aftermath of the Queen's death suggests the opposite.
By looking at the faces of those who have been grieving in the streets this week, as well as those who have been appointed to the new cabinet, you can see that Britain has done a better job of accommodating the diversity that results from immigration than the majority of other European democracies (where there is not a single white man in any of the four great offices of state). Great scientists and universities, as well as some of the best and worst examples of media in the world, can be found in Britain, as can creative industries, financial services, and technological advancements.
The fact that the transition to a new president and prime minister went off without a hitch and almost simultaneously last week indicates a constitutional democracy in good shape. Despite some speculation to the contrary, I have no reason to believe that King Charles will be anything other than a dignified and restrained head of state. If the Truss administration messes things up, which it almost certainly will, we will remove them from office in the next election, which will almost certainly be held in 2024.
Nobody will seriously question whether this election was free and fair, in stark contrast to the hyper-polarized political climate in the United States. (Not even our Official Monster Raving Loony party will be waving automatic rifles or chanting "Stop the steal.") The ratio of reality to rhetoric will be restored to its proper proportion.
Britain will face some very difficult times in the decade following the end of the Elizabethan era. But, to use most British consolation phrases, which one imagines the Queen must have used now and then: it could be worse, let me say that again.
The death of the Queen has sparked a flurry of inquiries, all of which are keeping the Guardian's journalists on their toes. Is the monarchy an asset that brings people together, or a relic of colonialism? Should it be updated to reflect the current state of affairs? Should the royal family's finances be thoroughly scrutinized? Is the Commonwealth capable of sustaining itself?
These are critical issues because of the implications for the fairness, equality, meritocracy, and primacy of parliament in democratic governments. Because it is fiercely independent and does not answer to anyone, The Guardian is in an excellent position to investigate. We believe it is our responsibility to report on issues of power and authority, whether it is the installation of a new prime minister in Downing Street or a new king in the palace, and to ensure that readers in Indonesia are aware of the changes taking place in the United Kingdom.
In contrast to many other publications, The Guardian does not have shareholders and is not owned by a billionaire. As a result, our journalism is free of commercial interests, political agendas, and royal prerogatives. This means we report on subjects like change and uncertainty, royals and republicans, and powerful individuals and groups without fear or favor. This type of journalism is essential for maintaining democracy, maintaining fairness, and demanding more from the authorities.
Boris Johnson Has Wreaked Havoc on the Institutional Frameworks ofEurope's Political Systems
Charitable Organizations in the UK Have Exhausted All Options for Assisting Those in Need


The Esol Education and American School Hong Kong (ASHK) Team recently participated in the International Schools Fair held in conjunction with Top Schools and the South China Morning Post, at the JW Mariott in Hong Kong Central, which coincided with the school opening their enrollment processes for the 2016-2017 academic year.
The fair was an opportunity to introduce parents to the ethos behind the soon-to-open school, which will follow the US Common Core standards and adopt an inquiry-based approach to learning. ASHK's enriched American curriculum will include a STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics) focus, and will offer students a strong Chinese language program. External exams such as MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) testing will allow the school to benchmark student progress and achievement against world averages.
Parents showed a strong interest in ASHK's holistic approach, which integrates a wide array of activities including athletics, clubs, cultural programs, performance and visual arts, as well as student leadership, experiential education, community and social responsibility programs.
The ASHK team worked hard behind the scenes to bring the event to life! For more information about the school, please visit www.ashk.hk.

Q: Replace some contents of NSMutableDictionary with another NSMutableDictionary i am having 2 NSMutableDictionaries that each has 5 NSArrays inside,
these 2 NSMutableDictionaries have excactly the same 5 keys and NSArrays but with different content,
i need to replace only 2 Arrays with the Arrays of the other NSMutableDictionary
so
dic1 = dic2; //isn't a solution...will replace all the contents of the one to the other...

i need something that can replace the object of a specific key with the other same key.
i tried
[dic1 setObject:[dic2 objectForKey:@"key1"] forKey:@"key1"];
[dic1 setObject:[dic2 objectForKey:@"key2"] forKey:@"key2"];

and i get ERROR: attempt to insert nil value (key: key1)'

A: The error just means [dic2 objectForKey:@"key1"] is returning a nil value. In other words, that key does not exist in the dictionary. Likewise, you can't set a nil value inside of an NSDictionary, so thats why the error is sent out.
Print out each of the dictionaries and ensure your keys/values are what you expect. You can use an NSLog or just pause the program with a breakpoint, and enter po dic1 in the console.
