S Korea, Japan may hold strategic dialogue soon
SEOUL - South Korea and Japan are likely to hold a vice ministerial-level strategic dialogue in the foreseeable future, which had yet to be held under the Park Geun- hye government, Yonhap News Agency reported citing government officials.
A senior Seoul government official was quoted as saying that the two countries "are consulting on schedules for the vice ministerial-level strategic dialogue." Another official said " only left was an agreement on a dialogue date."
The strategic dialogue between Seoul and Tokyo, which was first held in 2005 for a comprehensive discussion on regional and global issues, has been suspended since January 2013.
The Park Geun-hye administration, which was launched in February 2013, sought to hold the senior-level dialogue in December 2013, but it failed to be held as Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe paid a visit to the controversial Yasukuni Shrine ahead of the scheduled dialogue.
Abe's visit stirred strong backlashes from neighboring countries, such as South Korea and China, as the shrine is a symbol of Japan's past militarism and reflects the Abe cabinet's attempt to whitewash its wartime aggression. The shrine honors 14 Class-A war criminals along with other war dead.
The frosty ties lasted between the two countries as Japan kept provoking South Korea with territorial disputes and the wrong perception of history. Abe sent an offering to the shrine on Aug. 15, marking the 69th anniversary of the Korean Peninsula's liberation from Japan's 1910-45 colonial rule.
South Korea reportedly proposed to Japan holding the strategic dialogue ahead of the 50th anniversary in 2015 of normalized diplomatic ties between the two countries.
The dialogue was expected to be held next month after director general-level diplomats met next week to discuss issues on comfort women, or Korean women forced into sex slavery for Japanese military brothels during World War.

The Creature with Ideas and Power
An Investigation of Anthropology and Human Culture (First Edition)
By John Sheehan
Customize The Creature with Ideas and Power
1 x 30% Partial Ebook for 'The Creature with Ideas and Power' + $0.00
The Creature with Ideas and Power: An Investigation of Anthropology and Human Culture analyzes human beings as biological creatures capable of developing ideas and then manipulating their environments to conform to those ideas. The book presents culture as the intellectual medium through which ideas are made manifest. It takes readers on an intellectually stimulating journey from the origins of physical anthropology in evolution, genetics, and primatology to today's globalized world of international integration.
The text explores the development of western cultures, the cultures of early tribal peoples, oral and written traditions as demonstrated in artifacts, and the basic elements that comprise a society. Students also learn about family, kinship, and marriage, cultural bonds and genetic inheritance, and how humans extract and use resources. The book includes an ethnographic study of the Haudenosaunee as an example of how the various sub-disciplines in anthropology come together to tell the story of a people.
The Creature with Ideas and Power helps students understand the biological creature that is Homo sapiens and learn how cultures are both physically and socially derived. The book was written for anthropology and cultural anthropology courses.
John Sheehan earned his D.A. in history at St. John's University in Jamaica, New York. He is particularly interested in multidisciplinary and intercultural pedagogies. Dr. Sheehan currently teaches in the anthropology, history, and sociology departments as an adjunct faculty member at the State University of New York, Cortland, Tompkins Cortland Community College, St. John's University, and Elmira College.

The full-sized PM43 is the direct replacement for the PM4i, and the compact PM43c directly replaces the PF4i industrial printer.
Q: How is the PM43 printer positioned within the Intermec printer line?
A: The PM43 series is targeted at the high end of the industrial mid-range printer market segment. With the ability to run Fingerprint/DP, IPL, DSIM, and ZSIM all pre-loaded on the printer and with full backwards compatibility, the PM43 provides a "drop-in" replacement for most applications currently using 86XX, 4000, 4100, 3400, 401, F4i, PF4i and PM4i printers.
Q: What is the difference between the PM43 and the PM43c?
A: The PM43 and PM43c have the same electronics package and similar mechanical design. The user interface between the PM43 and PM43c differs slightly in the layout of the keypad. The taller PM43 accommodates a 212mm (8.375in) media roll, 450mm (18,000in) ribbon and optional full-batch rewinder. It features two available slots for optional interface cards and both front and rear USB host ports.

According to a study recently conducted by Intermec, distribution centers are losing an average of nearly $390,000 per year due to mis-picks. With a new year bringing renewed pressure to boost efficiencies and drive costs down, the demands for faultless distribution processes have never been higher. Achieving productivity and accuracy goals is fundamental to improving profit margins, which is why more than half (59%) of managers are now turning to 'The Perfect Order' metric to identify areas for improvement.
The study, which surveyed 250 supply chain and distribution managers across the US, UK, France and Germany, found the average mis-pick costs approximately $22, with more than half (52%) of companies reporting a pick rate of less than 97%. A further 19 percent do not even measure the costs of mis-picks in any form, suggesting that the accumulated losses to the supply chain may be even higher.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, companies that have recently conducted a workflow process review found picking (47%) a key area where cost savings could most easily be achieved. For those using 'The Perfect Order' metric, opportunities for increased savings were clear, with complete shipments (43%) seen as the most profitable to the bottom line.
The simple step of applying oil change reminder labels carries real value for the automotive service establishment and the customer. These labels provide a subtle but persistent notice to the customer of the next service date, helping ensure the vehicle remains in optimal condition. They also remind a satisfied customer where they last received service, increasing the likelihood of return business.
While an enclosed automobile may seem like a relatively benign environment, these labels are subjected to significant environmental rigors. High exposure to ultraviolet radiation can attack labels and adhesive, causing adhesives to harden and leave residue, or causing the label to break apart and delaminate rather than removing in one piece. Temperatures inside a parked car in the summer can quickly reach 140°F, effectively baking the label facesheet and adhesive. During winter, windshields repeatedly cycle between freezing temperatures and heated defrost cycles.

Biografia

Infanzia
Sua madre era la granduchessa Xenia (1875-1960), figlia dello zar Alessandro III e suo padre era il granduca Sandro, cugino di primo grado del padre della moglie: Rostilav era quindi pronipote di Nicola I di Russia per parte di padre e pro-pronipote dello stesso per parte di madre, oltre ad avere per nonno Alessandro III e per zio Nicola II, particolarmente legato alla sorella ed al cognato.

Rivoluzione bolscevica
Passò la prima giovinezza tra il sud della Francia, luogo di vacanza molto amato dalla nobiltà internazionale, ed i palazzi imperiali russi. Quando l'imperatore Nicola II abdicò in seguito alla Rivoluzione di Febbraio nel 1917, l'Imperatrice vedova si ritirò in Crimea con moltissimi parenti, fra cui la figlia Xenia, il genero ed i loro figli: nel 1918 molti di loro furono incarcerati vicino a Jalta, ma un mese dopo vennero liberati dalle truppe tedesche in seguito alla firma del Trattato di Brest-Litovsk.

L'11 aprile 1919 i Romanov vennero salvati da un quasi sicuro massacro da parte dei bolscevichi poiché riuscirono ad imbarcarsi su una nave da guerra britannica, la HMS Marlborough, mandata apposta da re Giorgio V., che li portò a Malta dove rimasero per circa nove mesi.

Primo matrimonio
Si sposò tre volte, la prima con la principessa Aleksandra Pavlovna Galitzine (7 maggio 1905 - 5 dicembre 2006) il 1º settembre 1928 a Chicago ed ebbero un figlio prima del divorzio nel 1944.

Secondo matrimonio
Il principe Rostislav Aleksandrovič sposò poi Alice Eilken (30 maggio 1923 - 21 ottobre 1996) il 7 maggio 1945 ed ebbero un figlio prima del divorzio nel 1951.

Terzo matrimonio
Rostislav Aleksandrovič sposò poi Hedwig Maria Gertrud Eva von Chappuis (6 dicembre 1905 - 9 gennaio 1997) il 19 novembre 1954, senza averne figli.

Discendenza
Il principe Rostislav Aleksandrovič e la sua prima moglie la principessa Aleksandra Pavlovna Galitzine ebbero:
 Principe Rostislav Rostislavovič (3 dicembre 1938 - 7 gennaio 1999). Banchiere a Londra, fu tra i membri della famiglia imperiale che presero parte alla tumulazione dei resti dell'ultimo zar e della sua famiglia nella Chiesa dei Santi Pietro e Paolo a San Pietroburgo. Durante la cerimonia probabilmente prese freddo, cadendo in coma appena tornato in patria e morendo. Dal primo matrimonio con Stephena Verdel Cook (terminato in divorzio nel 1980) ebbe la figlia Stephena Rostislavovna Romanov (1963). Dal secondo con Christia Ipsen, ebbe Alexandra Rostislavovna (n. 1983), Rostislav Rostislavovič (n. 1985) e molto attivo nella Associazione della Famiglia Romanov e Nikita Rostislavovič (n. 1987).

Dalle sue seconde nozze con Alice Eilken nacque:
 Principe Nikolaj Rostislavovič (9 settembre 1945 - 9 novembre 2000).

Addons are content additions to the game engine. Addons can take on many forms such weapons, buildings, vehicles to name a few, are developed and released by members of the BI community or by Bohemia Interactive themselves.
An addon is an archive (pbo) of files that the game loads at interrupts. Generally when most people think of addons, they immediately think of a new unit, or a new island, but in some cases an addon can contain only a config.cpp file and a few scripts, or some images.
There comes a time when you've downloaded so many addons from the Internet and plunked them in your ~\addons folder, that eventually, can cause a clash between one addon and another. What BI has done is introduced mod folders to separate addons into different folders. The mod folders is the method you should be using when testing out new addons.
Always review the included ReadMe file for further information about the installation of an addon.
must be installed into a custom modfolder. It is not recommended to place addons into the original Addons folder. Mods can also be installed from the Steam Workshop.
Arma 3 has introduced a new way of publishing, browsing and installing mods: Steam Workshop. There are two main parts to using Workshop: Publisher to publish addons into Steam Cloud and Arma 3 Launcher to download and/or update mods and launch the game with a selected set.
Creator publishes file to Steam Workshop using Publisher. He adds a tag mod to the published file.
User browses Steam Workshop and subscribes to content he likes.
Arma 3 Launcher downloads and updates the subscribed mods (it only shows files with a steam tag mod).
User can select which mods to load into the game.
Creator publishes a scenario from in-game editor. Editor auto-adds the tag scenarios.
Steam downloads and updates the subscribed scenarios. They are accessible in-game from Play/Scenarios/Steam subscribed content (only content with a tag scenario is displayed here).
must be installed into a custom modfolder. It is not recommended to place addons into the original Addons folder.
must be installed to "Addons" or "ArmA\Addons" or into a custom modfolder. It is not recommended to place addons into the original Addons folder.
must be installed to "...directory\Operation Flashpoint\Addons" or "...directory\Operation Flashpoint\Res\Addons" or into a custom modfolder.
must be installed to "...directory\Operation Flashpoint\dta\" (overwrite existing Anim.pbo) or "...directory\Operation Flashpoint\Res\dta\" (overwrite existing Anim.pbo) or into a custom modfolder ("...directory\Operation Flashpoint\modfolder\dta\").
The original Anim.pbo can be restored from the Resistance CD.
must be installed to "...directory\Operation Flashpoint\Campaigns\" or "...directory\Operation Flashpoint\Res\Campaigns\" or into a custom modfolder ("...directory\Operation Flashpoint\modfolder\Campaigns\").
This only works with campaigns. Single missions have to be installed to "...directory\Operation Flashpoint\Missions\".
mostly come with an installer and create their own modfolder.
For topics about creating addons for each of the Bohemia Interactive games is available from the appropriate link below.

Hillary 3.0 Announcement in NYC: Long On Promise, Short on Detail
Mona Salama Follow on Twitter Send an email June 16, 2015
PolitiChicks reporter Mona Salama's photos from the Hillary Clinton rally in NY, June 2015
Hillary Clinton made her second presidential announcement on symbolic Roosevelt Island, named after FDR's New Deal speech. Hillary's run can best be defined as 'President Obama's third term'.
The rally, with approximately 5,000 attendees, was aimed at reintroducing voters to Hillary after her failed bid in 2008. Upcoming campaign stops in early voting states Iowa and New Hampshire will be small and well-planned, for Hillary supporters only.
A group of Republican protesters were also in attendance, holding 'Hypocrisy' signs featuring Hillary's 'H' slogan, while staffers from the RNC handed out sunglasses with the word "Shady" to attendees.
Clinton stood on an H-shaped stage with an arrow through it, like her campaign logo. Her speech was a dramatic re-do of her twitter announcement, was meant to overshadow the ten Republican candidates. Her slogan, "In a place with absolutely no ceilings," is in reference to her potentially becoming the nation's first female president.
Imitating FDR "Four Freedoms" address, Hillary declared a "Four Fights For You" theme of building the economy, strengthening families, defending the country from foreign threats, and reforming the government. Presenting herself as a populist, Hillary gave a list of ideas she would push as president with few details as to how she would accomplish them: paid family leave, equal pay, cutting student debt, undoing Citizen United Supreme Court decision of super-PAC political spending by a constitutional amendment, and reproductive freedom for women.
Speaking a lengthy forty minutes (her first major speech since launching her campaign), Hillary touted being a "champion for all Americans" by providing economic policies as a relief for the middle class such as paid family leave, universal pre-school, and raising the minimum wages. On social issues, Hillary added that Republicans are "out of touch" with issues such as gay marriage and women's reproductive rights.
Hillary's rhetorical speech was full of liberal talking points, emphasizing big government taking the stage for the future. Hillary promised to wage a war against Wall Street, declaring "powerful forces in hedge funds have brought secret, unaccountable money into the political system."
Skeptics will note this is coming from a candidate whose headquarters is two train stops away from Wall Street and who raised millions from giant hedge funds for her campaign. And many consider Hillary the poster child for 'secret and unaccountable money in politics,' as she has yet to answer questions about her foundation funds during her tenure as Secretary of State.
Many of Hillary's talking points were personal, including the story of her mother being "abandoned and forced to work as a maid at the age of 14." Hillary highlighted her career in public service as a 'crusader focusing on fighting for children, woman, and workers,' a fight that was instilled by her mother. "My mother taught me that everyone needs a chance and a champion," Clinton said.
Hillary also took multiple jabs at Republicans, including Marco Rubio, who a day after Hillary's twitter announcement said, "Now, there may be some new voices in the presidential Republican choir, but they're all singing the same old song. A song called Yesterday."
Hillary used age and gender as a presidential asset in her response:
"I may not be the youngest candidate in this race. But I will be the youngest woman president in the history of the United States. And the first grandmother as well. And one additional advantage – you won't see my hair turn white in the White House. I've been coloring it for years!"
Clinton continued bashing Republican hopefuls, saying they are "promising lower taxes only for the wealthy and fewer rules for the biggest corporations" without regard to income inequality. She added Republicans want to "take away health insurance from millions of Americans" and "deport millions of immigrants who are in the country illegally." On abortion, Hillary said Republicans "shame and blame" women instead of supporting their reproductive rights. And on gay rights, Republicans "turn their backs on gay people who love each other." She also claims Republicans "reject what it takes to build an inclusive economy when it takes an inclusive society to do so." Clinton added, "What part of democracy are Republicans afraid of?"
The refocus of her relaunch emphasizes more of the progressive policies and ideas that President Obama embraced during his presidency, vowing to take on the immigration actions set forth by President Obama "if Congress fails to pass a comprehensive reform."
The candidate, who once declared herself 'dead broke' when leaving the White House, claims to be a champion of the 'little people' and understands the struggle they go through daily. But that didn't prevent her from asking the 'little people' for donations as she wrapped up her speech saying, "I want you to join me in this effort, go to hillaryclinton.com."
A tent, set up by her campaign staff, sold Hillary items including shirts, bags, and pins ranging in prices from $5-65.

Q: Diffeomorphisms of the sphere conjugate to a rotation What are sufficient condition on a given diffeomorphism of the sphere (say, given explicitly with formulas) that can ensure that it is conjugate to a rotation, in the group of diffeomorphism of the sphere?
Also, if I take a given rotation of some fixed angle, is there a neigbourhood of it which consists only of elements conjugate to a rotation?

A: An irational rotation $f$ is arbitrarily distorted in $\text{Diff}^{\infty}S^2$, this was proved by Calegari and Freedman http://arxiv.org/pdf/math/0509701.pdf and in a more general setting by Militon, see http://arxiv.org/abs/1005.1765. This means that for any diverging sequence $g(n)$(diverging as slow as one wants), there is a subsequence $f^{n_i}$ and a finite set $S$ in $Diff(S^2)$ generating a group $G = <S>$ such that $\{f^{n_i}\} \in G$ for all $i$ and that $l_S(f^{n_i}) \leq g(n_i)$. ($l_S(g)$ is the word length of $g$ in the generating set $S$). To make it a little bit more clear, let's consider the following example: Let's take the translation $a: x \to x+1$ in $Diff(R)$. If we consider the subgroup $a:x \to x+1$, and $b : x \to 2x$  in $Diff(\mathbb{R})$, observe that $b^{n}ab^{-n} = a^{2^n}$, this implies that $a$ is at least exponentially distorted in $Diff(\mathbb{R})$, because we can write $a^{2^n}$ as a product of $O(n)$ elements in $a$ and $b$.
One condition that ensures that a given $f: S^2 \to S^2$ is conjugate to a rotation is that the sequence of derivatives of powers of $f$, $(Df^k)_{k \in \mathbb{z}}$, is a bounded sequence. The idea is that in that case, one can take an arbitrary riemannian metric $g$,  take and averaging sequence $g_n = \frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^n ({f}^n)^*g$, and observe that the bounds in derivatives imply that $g_n$ has a subsequence converging to    a metric $g_{av}$ invariant by $f$. If $g_{av}$ is smooth, by the uniformization theorem, $g$ is conformally equivalent to the standard $S^2$,  where $f$  is acting by rotations.
Using these two ideas, one can get a group theoretical way of characterizing any $f: S^2 \to S^2$ that is conjugate to a rotation: $f$ is conjugate to a rotation if and only if for any subsequence $(f^{n_i})_i$ of powers of $f$ there exist a subsequence $m_k$ of $n_i$ and a finite set $S$ of diffeomorphisms generating a group $G = <S>$ such that $\{f^{m_k}\} \subset G$ and $l_S(f^{m_k}) \leq k$. For more details, see the introduction of my paper http://arxiv.org/abs/1307.4447.
As rpotrie mentioned, it might be of interest to you some diffeomorphisms called "pseudorotations", that can be defined as diffeomorphisms of $S^2$ having exactly two periodic points.  Birkhoff conjectured that any real analytic measure preserving pseudorotations is an actual rotation. There are many counterexamples in the $C^{\infty}$ category, in the case that the rotation angle is not diophantine, all of them as far as I know constructed by the same method. See http://www.math.psu.edu/katok_a/pub/Herman-survey-horo-corrected.pdf for a survey on this kind of constructions. There is a very positive result known as Herman's last geometric theorem in the case that $\alpha$ is diophantine. See http://www.math.jussieu.fr/~bassam/herman_ann_ens_second_revision.pdf. Using this method one can also construct diffeomoprhisms of $S^2$ that are arbitrarily distorted but not conjugate to rotations.

A: I guess by: $f: S^2 \to S^2$ is conjugate to a rotation in the group of diffeomorphisms you mean that there exists a rotation $R_\alpha$ and a diffeomorphism $\varphi: S^2 \to S^2$ such that $f = \varphi^{-1} \circ R_\alpha \circ \varphi$.
In that case, the second question admits a negative answer. Given such an $f$, you can first make an arbitrary small perturbation (compose with $\varphi^{-1} \circ h \circ \varphi$ where $h_\varepsilon$ is the very small diffeomorphism diffeomorphism of the sphere which is the identity in neighborhoods of the fixed points of the north and south poles and which rotates the equator by $\varepsilon$, this can be made as small as desired with small $\varepsilon$) to make the diffeomorphism to have some circles around the fixed point to have the same rotation number and change it to the image by $\varphi^{-1}$ of the equator. If you allow $\varphi$ to be a homeomophism, the answer is still negative (for example, compose the fixed point with a small homothety) I even in the volume preserving category (but this is slightly more delicate, I can amplify if you need it, but I am not sure I am answering the question you ask, so...).
The first question seems more difficult to respond. I can figure out no condition in finitely many iterates which might respond to that. On the other hand, it seems quite easy to figure out some criteria not to be conjugated that can be checked quite easily (look at the derivative at the fixed points, look for at least 3 periodic points of different period...) which of course are not enough to say it is conjugate if they fail...
ADDED TO RESPOND COMMENT:
If one looks at the neighborhood of diffeomorphisms being ``irrational pseudo-rotations'' (see these lecture notes) I think that the answer will depend on both the smoothness and some properties on the irrational numbers (being diophantine vs liouville). A positive answer for your second question could be in the lines of: Every diffeomorphism $C^r$-close (with large $r$) to a diophantine rotation which is still an irrational pseudo-rotation with the same rotation number (in particular, one must demand it to be volume preserving) is smoothly conjugated (with some loss in regularity) to the rotation. Some versions of this must have been proved by M. Herman, but I do not remember specific references, look at the lecture notes I linked which may have plenty of references. Hope it helps.

A: I doubt there can be a simple answer to the first question. Even the analogous question regarding $S^1$ has no simple answer. According to work of Denjoy, given a homeomorphism $f : S^1 \to S^1$ with irrational rotation number, if $f$ is $C^2$ then it is conjugate to a rotation, but there are $C^1$ examples that are not conjugate to any rotation. Furthermore, according to work of Arnold (same link as above), one has little control over the smoothness of the conjugating map. Even in the nice case cited, the "rotation number" is not so easy to compute from a formula; it is more of an asymptotic invariant that describes the behavior of higher and higher iterates of $f$.
Things will only get worse in $S^2$.
EDIT: Here's an example of how it gets worse. On the circle, a diffeomorphism with rational rotation number is conjugate to a rotation.
Let's throw the book at $f : S^2 \to S^2$. Suppose $f$ has exactly two periodic points $p,q$, restricting to a homeomorphism of the annulus $A = S^2 - \lbrace p,q \rbrace$. Suppose furthermore that the restriction $f | A$ has an invariant area form. Suppose furthermore that $f | A$ has a constant rational rotation number on each point (defined on an annulus similar to the definition on a circle). So far these conditions are all necessary for $f$ to be conjugate to a finite order rotation. Can we add simple additional sufficient conditions? Well, it doesn't seem so; for instance, $f$ could be the composition of a finite order rotation by a map which twists a little tiny disc.

Tour Guide – Gave tours to potential incoming students. Lots of fun and I always liked seeing familiar faces the following year.
Phone-A-Thon Rep – This only lasted a week or two, but we got to call alumni and bug them for money.
Computer 'Lab Rat' – Sat in one of the three computer labs that the college had, answered questions, did troubleshooting on basic problems, and acted as a deterrent to people overusing the printer.
Resident Assistant – My senior year, I was an RA on a freshman hall. Man, did I feel old!
Paid Internships – I was in a program which required us to do two internships, one instead of taking classes for a semester (we made them up with a summer session) and another the following summer. Both were paid.
Working back at home – My aunt and uncle owned a collectibles store, and if I was home for the holidays or for the summers where I wasn't involved with internship activities, I'd work there.
I was lucky enough to not have student debt during college. My parents saved up on my behalf and I had scholarships, which funded my college experience.
It gets you used to having a job – Let's face it, the goal for most people in college is to graduate college and get a job. The transition to the full-time grind will be much easier if you ease into it.
You'll meet people – I met so many different people at the various jobs. Some became friends that lasted throughout college and some even beyond.
You get money – As I said above, I was lucky enough to have my college funded, but regardless if you need the money to pay tuition (or rack up less student debt), or have spending money (or saving money), you'll be thankful for every dollar you get.
You'll learn skills – Most of the jobs I had above advanced my direct or indirect skills. My tour guide experience got me more comfortable with talking to strangers and also being somewhat of a salesperson. As a 'lab rat', I kept up with technology and learned the everyday problems that 'users' face. This directly helped me as I forged a path in IT after graduation.
It keeps you out of trouble – Let's face it, there's a lot of temptation to get into trouble and a lot of that comes from having too much available time. Take some of that time away and you'll be less tempted to get excessively carried away. I still had my share of fun, but having a number of hours taken up by various jobs, gave me a nice balance so that my times of being an idiot were likely drastically reduced.
What's your experience with working while in college?


Do you have a contact tele # in Zih for HughesNet?? I can't find one.
When you say "streaming" service from U.S. do you mean like Netflix?

In April 2016 the Rotary Club of Toorak pledged to pay for a water and sanitation project in Marikina City, Phillipines, in partnership with the Rotary Club of Marikina, Phillipines. The project covered the contruction of one drinking station and a washing area with four faucets each. Prior to commencement of the work the site was visitied by 2 of our members Mina Armstrong and Rani Reid.
The project was completed very successfully in June 2016.


Advantages of Cleaning Your Car Regularly Your car is not that different from your house in a nutshell. Each day you spend lots of time in your car moving from one place to another. This implies that your car is not only an extension of your personality but also plays an important role in your life. You should take care of your car the same way you care for your home. When it comes to cleaning the home, people don't take chances. You should clean your cars with the same mentality. The following article explains the benefits of cleaning your regularly. Last Longer There's no doubt that washing your car regularly makes it appear new and nice. Agents such as salt particles, dirt, dust, sand particles can stick on your vehicle causing damage on the paint finish. Rust and corrosion can be caused by these agents.The mentioned agents usually cause corrosion and rust. Such agent are removed when you clean your car. There isn't a reason why your car wont look good for a long time if you keen a cleaning routine. Due to this, you wont need to do major repairs on your car.
Washing your car is non negotiable if you want to save a bit of cash. If dirt and mud stick on your car, then you are likely to pay more for gas. This is due to the fact that such agents add more weight to your car. It's also critical to look inside your car to find out if there's more weight inside. Washing your car prevents you from spending money on costly repairs as well. Healthy Dirt on your car can can have a negative impact on you. You could be stressed and your body drained of energy if there some clutter inside your car. On the other hand, you'll be more energetic and less stressful if the interior of your car is not cluttered. Your health could be impacted in a bad way if you inhale dirt particles. Your car wont be a health hazard if you frequently wash and vacuum. Safety increases Washing your car regularly does increase your safety. You'll be able to see the road clearly when your car windows are cleaned frequently. Additionally, cleaning the windshield also helps drivers have a clear view of the road. You should not neglect your vehicle due to this. You'll be more safe while driving if you manage to keep your car clean. Increase Esteem If you want to enhance your self esteem wash your car more often. A clean car is reflection of your personality. In the end, everyone should ensure that they keep their cars clean. If you don't do that then you'll be at a disadvantage .


(Auburn, WA) Sunday, July 17 was set to be an incredible day at Emerald Downs. 4 big stakes races with $200,000 on the line. Each race had several stories each with their own characters. The anticipation was great for those involved and for the huge fan base that attended to take in this special day.
There was no bigger story though than in the 1st of the four Stakes races. The Emerald Express featured only 5 horses much do no doubt because of the presence of The Chilli Man. The 2-year-old gelding caught the attention not only of local horsemen and fans but the entire industry after winning his debut by 11 lengths and posting an 81 Beyer. That single performance led to phone calls to The Chilli Man's connections, owner Heidi Nelson and trainer Monique Snowden.
There were discussions about a private sale of The Chilli Man with a sales price rumored to be north or south of $400,000. Nelson bought the horse at an auction for $70,000 so this would be quite a profit after only 2 races. The connections were at Emerald Downs to watch The Chilli Man in action. The betting public agreed of the 4 races this one was over before the gates open. The Chilli Man went off as the 2-5 betting favorite and even attracted a huge show bettor who laid down an $80,000 show bet on The Chilli Man. This type of bet is known as a bridge jumper, a cruel irony that will later play out in a heartbreakingly, tragic way.
In these cases the word gamble is well defined as the game of horse racing is indeed a gamble and nothing is for certain. When the gates popped open The Chilli Man got off to a slow start. As they hit the turn The Chilli Man looked like he was struggling and drifted wide. Although he was making slow progress by midway around the turn it appeared he would not win the race but still may run on for a 2nd or 3rd place finish when tragedy struck. The Chilli Man took a bad step and jockey Joe Steiner immediately pulled him up at the top of the stretch.
After The Chilli Man was examined it was determined he suffered a fractured back leg and had to be euthanized. Broken legs are still fatal injuries to horses. For the most part news of the seriousness of The Chilli Man's injury wouldn't be well known until much later. The other 3 stakes races were run all with some incredible stories and performances.
The news of the fate of The Chilli Man came later and it reminded all racing fans of how delicate these amazing animals truly are and one bad step can indeed lead to tragedy. I know there are a lot of people who don't understand how horsemen and fans can live with this part of the industry. I know I won't change their minds when I say these animals are born to do this, born to run and if they were out running around in a field they could easily take the same miss step and the end would be the same tragic conclusion.
I can say I have witnessed the love and care 99% of the horsemen give to their animals and when they are done competing how they are retired and taken care of. Are there exceptions to this, of course the answer is yes but there is no industry working as hard as the horse racing industry in trying to make sure retired horses are all taken care of and allowed to live their retired life in peace and comfort. The NFL should take lessons on how to take care of their retired players. Is there more work for horse racing, yes but they are working hard on this issue. In the end though we won't change anyone's mind.
I was at the races on Sunday covering the 4 Stakes races looking for stories about the winners, smiles, odd little notes and the fun side of the sport that we all love. In my final story I did mention the fate of The Chilli Man but tried focus on the positive. Believing there is too much ugly news now days in our lives I wanted to present this day as joyful and exciting and I did and it was the right angle to take in my view.
But as more details came out and Monique's death it seemed disrespectful not to address this and to understand as best we can the deep dilemma Monique faced in her own mind. It was reported in the Herald story that Monique suffered from other issues and was having a hard time sorting through including her own mother's death from suicide after learning she had esophageal cancer. I will not even begin to imagine the pain she was suffering internally that pushed her to this conclusion.
What is not in doubt is her love and dedication to her animals. Her love of thoroughbred racing and this close knit community that surrounds it. Everyone I talked with was so excited for her but were also bittersweet about The Chilli Man and the apparent sale. They were excited that a young up and coming trainer like Monique got an opportunity to handle such a 1 of a kind horse and sad that he was going to be taken away and moved to another trainer's barn under a new owner. But they also knew this would put her on the map as a trainer and big things were coming her way.
None of us imagined that The Chilli Man would be taken from her in this way. It may have been the last piece to push her into a desperate action, we will never know. I never got to meet or talk with her, I was waiting until after the race as I too assumed The Chilli Man would likely win and if not have a strong effort. Then after hearing of The Chilli Man's fate I would give her time and space and maybe talk with in a few weeks, let her have a chance to grieve.
I am saddened that I will not be able to do that interview, not because I wanted a story but because a beautiful person could not see another way out of her hidden pain. There is no way in my view you can judge this from any perspective other than the tragedy it is. All I know is we had a great Cinderellaesque story with true local heroes and it has turned into heartbreak.
There is no blame to pass around or to put on one person or event. This isn't a blaming situation even though that is the natural reaction. This is a story of hope, dedication and most of all love. We can not change the tragedy of Sunday, July 17th but we can focus our memory on the goodness of Monique and this industry. We can focus on the love we have for everyone in this sport and the connection we have. There is such respect between the horsemen, the administration and the fans we all know we are in one big private club and no doubt all of our hearts were broken this past weekend.
Please be kind and thoughtful. Please send your heartfelt thoughts and condolences to Dennis and the whole Emerald Downs family and understand we are all part of this awesome family.

"...he's just 3 lb higher and could prove very difficult to beat."
17:15 - ARENDELLE (5) failed to stay the trip over a mile and a half at Newcastle on her most recent start in October, but she's slipped back down to just 1 lb higher than her last winning mark - when scoring at Windsor in July - and will appreciate the drop back to a mile this evening. She gets the vote ahead of Dashing Poet, who's holding her form reasonably well, whilst Red Gunner is another to consider.
17:45 - FIELDS OF ATHENRY (1) made a winning start in good style over C&D last month, picking up the lead a furlong out under Callum Shepherd, and keeping on well to score by just under two lengths. He has a penalty to should as a consequence here, and whilst he has a bit to find on form with the Frankel colt New King, that particular rival was held by by his greenness on his first start last time, and considering Fields of Athenry's professionalism on debut, it may be worth chancing that he can complete a double at a much bigger price than his main rival.
18:15 - In a race where form is at a premium, it looks worth siding with SUCELLUS (8), who represents powerful connections in the form of the John Gosden team, who have introduced some nice types on the All-Weather of late. A strong market move for anything in the run-up to this would be significant, but as it stands the biggest threat could come from Nabbeyl, who has shown plenty to work with in two starts so far and has experience on his side.
18:45 - An excellent race for the time of year, and there's plenty of reasons to support QUIET ENDEAVOUR (4), who was ultra progressive on the All-Weather over the summer, racking off a quickfire four-timer, before not looking himself in Group 3 company at Kempton on his most recent start in September. Dropped back down in class and granted a break, he can get back on track for the Archie Watson team at the expense of Charming Kid, who has been highly tried but isn't one to write off now eased in class.
19:15 - MONUMENTAL MAN (10) has been in fine form this year, picking up four wins, and he went down with all guns blazing when narrowly beaten by Delilah Park over C&D recently. He's now 2 lb better off with that rival, and is fancied to gain compensation by turning the tables. Danecase put in a good shift when fourth over 7f at Kempton last month and, back at his optimum trip, he is feared most.
19:45 - C NOTE (10) finally delivered what he has been promising when scoring at Newmarket in November, cashing in on his much reduced mark and showing his stamina over 10 furlongs. He won here on his sole previous visit in March, and whilst he faces an extra two furlongs here, he's just 3 lb higher and could prove very difficult to beat. The Frankel gelding Atty Persse has long promised plenty, and whilst he failed to land a blow when returning from a break in a listed contest at Kempton, he merits the utmost respect back in a handicap, while Not So Sleepy also needs considering.
20:15 - CLOUDLAM (7) was beaten at very short odds at Kempton last month, having no obvious excuses on the day, but she has a top pedigree (half-sister to 7f winner Robin Weathers) and remains capable of better yet. The combination of a step up in trip and the fitting of cheekpieces could well do the trick. Confederate gets the nod for forecast purposes ahead of 4-time hurdles winner Miss Crick.
20:45 - ARROWZONE (5) has been unlucky of late, unfortunate in each of his last two starts; having to wait for a gap two furlongs out when travelling fluently and keeping on at the finish. He will need plenty to drop right, but he's on a workable mark and may be the answer to this competitive-looking handicap, with the booking of Tom Marquand adding to his appeal. Last-time-out winners King Oswald and Man of Verve both merit plenty of respect, while Herm shouldn't be far away and Gembari is dangerous to discount having slipped to a career-low mark.


How to get to Pärnu?
Most ferries and catamarans arrive in the Harbour of Tallinn (Reisisadam), terminals A, B, D and C. Left Luggage and a helpful tourist information booth can be found in the main hall of terminals. ATMs are just as easy to find.
A taxi fare from the harbour to the Coach Station is roughly 10 EUR.
The Lennart Meri International Airport of Tallinn is located appr. 4 kms from the downtown of Tallinn. ATMs and currency exchange are located in the centre of the hall, and car rental offices are downstairs.
Getting to the Coach Station is easy - the distance is only 1,5 km.
A taxi from the airport should cover the short ride to Coach Station for 6 - 7 EUR.
The second option is to arrive in Riga Airport (Latvia) and take a coach to Pärnu, tickets are appr. 12 - 20 EUR.
Getting to Pärnu by bus.
The Tallinn Coach Station (Tallinna Bussijaam).
There are departures from Tallinn to Pärnu every hour.
Tickets are available inside the station or from the driver. (The ticket-holders get in the bus first.) On Fridays and Sundays buses to popular weekend destinations, like Pärnu tend to fill up quickly, so buying your ticket earlier from the station will guarantee a spot.
All Pärnu-bound busses leave from platform 13 or 10, and the ticket cost appr. 8-11 EUR.
More than 20 express buses leave Tallinn for Pärnu daily between 06:25 and 23:00, and buses stop here daily on their route from/to Riga. The bus station is located in the centre of the town, at the corner of Pikk and Ringi streets; the station house is behind the terminal, at Ringi 3.
A taxi from the bus station should cover the short ride to Film Festival office which is located in the Museum of New Art (Uue Kunsti Muuseum, Esplanaadi Str 10) for 5 EUR. Or you can take 10 minutes walk through Rüütli and Nikolai street. Or, if You let us know the exact time of Your arrival to Pärnu, we can pick you up at the bus station.

Breaking! Togo becomes first country to eliminate 4 Neglected Tropical Diseases – WHO
Home - Health - Breaking! Togo becomes first country to eliminate 4 Neglected Tropical Diseases – WHO
The World Health Organisation has recognized Togo as the first country globally to eliminate four Neglected Tropical Diseases.
The WHO made this known during its Regional Committee for Africa meeting held in Lomé on Monday, August 22.
Between 2011 and 2022, Togo has successfully eliminated dracunculiasis (Guinea worm disease), elephantiasis (lymphatic filariasis), human African trypanosomiasis (sleeping sickness), and trachoma.
NTDs are a group of 20 preventable and treatable diseases, but 1.7 billion people worldwide still require NTD interventions. Many NTDs debilitate, disfigure and disable by preventing children from going to school and adults from being able to work.
In a statement by Associate Consultant, Kingsley Ochieng of the Uniting to Combat Neglected Tropical Diseases, he noted that as the first country acknowledged by WHO as having won its fight against four NTDs, Togo eliminated all four diseases in just eleven years.
"Togo previously achieved transmission-free status for Guinea worm disease in 2011. In 2017, it became the first country in sub-Saharan Africa to eliminate elephantiasis as a public health problem and, in 2020, became the first African country to achieve the same status with sleeping sickness.
"To eliminate these diseases, Togo adopted a two-pronged approach that focused on first, interrupting transmission and preventing occurrence of new infections; and secondly, treating or managing diseases, their associated morbidity, and their complications, to alleviate suffering," it said.
The President of Togo, Faure Gbassingbe, said, "I thank you for your appreciation of my country's achievements in the elimination of neglected tropical diseases. This progress has been made possible thanks to the dedication and commitment of all health actors who are working at all levels in our country to preserve this precious good that is health. Health is a priority that we have placed at the heart of our development policies. One of the ambitions of the government's roadmap to 2025 is to guarantee health coverage and access to basic services for all."
The WHO Director-General, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said "The elimination of dracunculiasis, lymphatic filariasis, human African trypanosomiasis and trachoma is an outstanding achievement and a gift not only for the people of Togo today but for generations to come."

A Star from Circleville
Upon his death in 1971, Ted's wife Adah insisted that artifacts and memorabilia be returned to Circleville where they are currently on display in the Ted Lewis Museum. Visitors can view exhibits, the Ted Lewis archives, memorabilia and music library.
Ted Lewis was born Theodore Leopold Friedman on June 6, 1890 in Circleville. Famous for singing and showmanship, as well as his trademark top hat, Ted Lewis was one of the most successful and popular jazz entertainers of the early twentieth century. Before becoming famous, Ted grew up in Circleville where he first learned his musical craft both with the Cirvleville cadet band and local African American musicians such as Cricket Smith. Ted continued this trend throughout his career, often highlighting African American entertainers in his acts. Upon his death in 1971, Ted's wife Adah insisted that artifacts and memorabilia be returned to Circleville where they are currently on display in the Ted Lewis Museum. Visitors can view exhibits, the Ted Lewis archives, memorabilia and music library.

Following the controversial termination of Steven Salaita's hiring at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), the university's Committee on Academic Freedom and Tenure (CAFT) initiated an investigation into whether the termination violated the university's statutes and bylaws and academic freedom.
The CAFT issued its findings and recommendations in a report on December 23, accusing the administration and board of trustees of violating shared governance and academic freedom, and calling on the university to reconsider Salaita's application and financially compensate him for his unjust termination.
This is the first of two articles exploring elements of the CAFT report. In this first article, I demonstrate how Salaita's critics—the same ones who misrepresented Salaita's tweets—are now misrepresenting the CAFT report.

ESSAY I learned how to drive in a 1952 Plymouth that we called the Green Bullet. It was a stick shift, more than ten years old, with a transistor radio that dangled from a knob on the dashboard. We turned the knob when we wanted to put the windshield wipers on. The car's name was related to its appearance, not its speed.
My then-boyfriend, Gary, taught me how to drive. There was no such thing as drivers ed in our school in those days and my father wouldn't teach me. He believed women should not be allowed to drive because they adjusted the mirror and checked their lipstick before turning on the car and that just wasted everybody's time.
After Gary and I had been married a couple months we woke up one morning to discover that the Green Bullet was gone and a silver Valiant was parked in its place. My father-in-law had purchased the Bullet for fifty dollars and now had an opportunity to trade us up to this new car, and just did it in the night. We mourned because we had a fond place in our hearts for the Bullet. Also, we were offended that we were not being recognized as adults who could make our own decisions. Besides, the Valiant, which we promptly named the Midwest Twang, would not start in the rain – we lived in Chicago! – but made a twangy sound when we turned the key on a wet morning.
Before long we decided to assert our independence and get rid of this car that was so much trouble. We bought a sky blue 1966 Mustang. We even handled the bargaining part of the experience with aplomb. At one point we felt the dealer was trying to take advantage of our obvious inexperience and I turned to Gary and said, "Call your father." The guy backed down immediately. The car cost $2,000, an outrageous amount in everybody's opinion. But we loved that car and thought it was worth every penny.
And then, in 1967, disaster of a sort struck. We had a baby. In those days they didn't have all the neat folding strollers we have now. Try as we might we couldn't find one that would fold up and fit into the trunk of our car. It was the baby or the car and we'd grown quite fond of our little darling. We had to sell the Mustang.
We moved "up" to a Chevy Impala, which we hated. In fact, we never did love another car like that Mustang.

The Senate, on a 48-49 vote Wednesday, fell short of the necessary numbers to move ahead on legislation that would have barred states from requiring the labeling. Vermont is set to require such labels this summer, and other states are considering similar laws.
The procedural vote is a setback for the food industry, which has lobbied to block Vermont's law.
The industry argues that genetically modified organisms, or GMOs, are safe and the labels could be costly for agriculture, food companies and consumers. Congressional Republicans have opposed a patchwork of state laws and worked to find a solution on the issue before Vermont's law kicks in.
Genetically modified seeds are engineered in laboratories to have certain traits, such as resistance to herbicides. The majority of the country's corn and soybean crop is now genetically modified, with much of that going to animal feed. Corn and soybeans also are made into popular processed food ingredients such as high-fructose corn syrup, corn starch and soybean oil. The food industry says about 75 percent to 80 percent of foods contain genetically modified ingredients.
The Food and Drug Administration says they are safe, and there is little scientific concern about the safety of those GMOs on the market. But advocates for labeling say not enough is known about their risks. Among supporters of labeling are many organic companies that are barred by law from using modified ingredients in their foods.
Those advocates have been fighting state by state to enact the labeling, with the eventual goal of a national standard.
Republican senators were hoping to find compromise with Democrats who have supported mandatory labeling. The chairman of the Senate Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry Committee, GOP Sen. Pat Roberts of Kansas, tweaked the bill that advanced from his committee this month to require the Agriculture Department to measure whether food companies were using voluntary labels. If not enough companies were doing so in three years, the department would require the labeling.
But that wasn't enough for most Democrats.
Michigan Sen. Debbie Stabenow, the top Democrat on the committee, said she worked until late Tuesday night to try to find agreement with Roberts. She said she agrees that GMOs are safe, but "a growing number of American consumers want to know more about the food they eat. And they have the right to know."
She said she believes that it is still possible to find compromise on the issue and she is still talking to Roberts about the legislation.
The House passed a bill blocking the state laws last year.

Abbott Announces Discovery of New Strain of HIV, Keeping Global Health Community a Step Ahead of the Virus
ABBOTT PARK, Ill., Nov. 6, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Abbott (NYSE: ABT) announced today that a team of its scientists identified a new subtype of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), called HIV-1 Group M, subtype L.1 The findings, published today in the Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes (JAIDS), show the role next-generation genome sequencing is playing in helping researchers stay one step ahead of mutating viruses and avoiding new pandemics.
Since the beginning of the global AIDS pandemic, 75 million people have been infected with HIV and 37.9 million people today are living with the virus.2 Thanks to the work done by the global health community over the past few decades, the goal of ending the HIV pandemic is becoming feasible. Yet researchers must remain vigilant to monitor for new strains to make sure testing and treatments continue to work.
"In an increasingly connected world, we can no longer think of viruses being contained to one location," said Carole McArthur, Ph.D., M.D., professor in the departments of oral and craniofacial sciences, University of Missouri — Kansas City, and one of the study authors. "This discovery reminds us that to end the HIV pandemic, we must continue to outthink this continuously changing virus and use the latest advancements in technology and resources to monitor its evolution."
This research marks the first time a new subtype of "Group M" HIV virus has been identified since guidelines for classifying new strains of HIV were established in 2000. Group M viruses are responsible for the global pandemic, which can be traced back to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) in Sub-Saharan Africa.3,4
The science behind genetic sequencing to discover new viruses
To determine whether an unusual virus is in fact a new HIV subtype, three cases must be discovered independently.5 The first two samples of this subtype were discovered in DRC in the 1980s and the 1990s. The third, collected in 2001, was difficult to sequence at that time because of the amount of virus in the sample and the existing technology.
Today, next-generation sequencing technology allows researchers to build an entire genome at higher speeds and lower costs. In order to utilize this technology, Abbott scientists had to develop and apply new techniques to help narrow in on the virus portion of the sample to fully sequence and complete the genome.6
"Identifying new viruses such as this one is like searching for a needle in a haystack," said Mary Rodgers, Ph.D., a principal scientist and head of the Global Viral Surveillance Program, Diagnostics, Abbott, and one of the study authors. "By advancing our techniques and using next generation sequencing technology, we are pulling the needle out with a magnet. This scientific discovery can help us ensure we are stopping new pandemics in their tracks."
Twenty-five years of tracking mutating viruses around the world
As a leader in blood screening and infectious disease testing, Abbott created its Global Viral Surveillance Program 25 years ago to monitor HIV and hepatitis viruses and identify mutations to ensure the company's diagnostic tests remain up to date. As part of this research, Abbott scientists confirmed that its core and molecular laboratory diagnostic tests can detect this new HIV strain.
In partnership with blood centers, hospitals and academic institutions around the world, Abbott has collected more than 78,000 samples containing HIV and hepatitis viruses from 45 countries, identified and characterized more than 5,000 strains, and published 125 research papers to date to help the scientific community learn more about these viruses. The study published today, "Complete genome sequence of CG-0018a-01 establishes HIV-1 subtype L," is now available online.

Meet iPhone Xc – The Inexpensive Alternative to iPhone X
We all know very well that iPhone X is not only the most advanced but also the most expensive phone in the tech giant Apple's history. Hence, recently, the editors' team at iDropnews thought how it would be if the tech giant Apple had also created a cheaper version of iPhone X, which is named as iPhone Xc.
The tech giant Apple's iPhone X continues to attract the world and sales account for the huge demand, leading to the production of 550,000 units a day, according to reports.
To report this information, it was also presented a report that said that 6 million units of iPhone X were sold during the "Black Friday" weekend, and buyers prefer the more expensive model of 256 GB.
It is undeniable that this iPhone came to mark the segment and there are many reports that account for this reality. The huge production, sales and orders that extend until next year endorse the rumours already mentioned: the iPhone X marked its segment.
We have no doubt that the tech giant Apple worked very well in marketing and was exceptional in the Black Friday promotions. Regarding iPhone sales performance, Rosenblatt analysts believe that the tech giant Apple was able to sell about 6 million units of the iPhone X over Black Friday's weekend out of a total of 15 million iPhones sold.
The 256GB iPhone X was twice as popular as the base 64GB model, according to analysts, a positive sign for the tech giant Apple's bottom line.
The 64GB iPhone X is for sale in the United States for $999 and in India for Rs.89,000. The 256 GB model, which is just the same, only has the additional 192 GB, costs the US $1149 and in India Rs.102,000, which is the consumer's choice. This latest model also gives Apple a bigger profit.
The iPhone X is not only the most advanced but also the most expensive phone in the tech giant Apple's history. The price is even so high that it is not another successor in the model line, but a model that is completely separate and sold along with iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus.
Hence, the editors' team at iDropnews thought how it would be if the tech giant Apple had also created a cheaper version of iPhone X, which is named as iPhone Xc that would attack the cheaper smartphone markets, at least cheaper by the tech giant Apple.

This is how the iPhone Xc concept came to offer a plastic or polycarbonate body, just like the iPhone 5c. The iPhone Xc could offer a TrueDepth camera that would allow the use of Face ID and Animoji, as well as Bionic A11 or even A12 chips. Of course, there is a lack of Touch ID, which, like the iPhone X, would be replaced a Face ID.
While it may seem at first glance that plastic is not what you can imagine today, the polycarbonate body should both reduce the cost of the device and also reduce the susceptibility to cracking the back that is now in the glass. In addition, the plastic is fully compatible with wireless charging, so we would not even miss this feature as well.
However, it would not be enough just to replace the rear glass with plastic to radically reduce the price of the device. This would save some money, but we are talking about a few dollars, which would hardly be reflected in the price of the device, which is sold for about Rs.89,000.
The tech giant Apple used the LCD panel instead of a significantly more expensive OLED panel in iPhone X. Just changing the display, chassis construction material and increasing the production of Face ID cameras should cause radical price cuts for the designers, and the phone would sell at $549.
Of course, this is just a matter of thought for the editors of one magazine, but the concept looks quite interesting and we know the tech giant Apple's rainbow colours are fun. However, I personally think that the tech giant Apple wants to concentrate in the future primarily on selling older models at discounted prices, as it has been doing for years. In addition, the iPhone SE, which sells for Rs.18,999 and it is a very good answer for lower price segment phones.
So, what do you think about this new iPhone Xc concept? Simply share all your views and thoughts in the comment section below.

Q: How to set border bottom to cover width of text rather than whole hamburger menu? I have some css code which displays a border line under a nav menu link if hovered over or selected. The thing is that in desktop it looks good as you can see here:
Desktop:

The issue is on mobile. If you look at the picture below, the border line goes all the way across the menu. Would be good if it just covers the text/icon only. Does anyone know how to fix this using css?
Mobile:

CSS:
#{$wrap} {
    clear: both;
}

a.mega-menu-link:hover {
    border-bottom: 2px solid #1034a6 !important;
}

.mega-current-menu-item > a.mega-menu-link:hover {
    border-bottom: 0 !important;
}

Example html:

A: It seems like the a.mega-menu-link element is too wide. So instead what I suggest you do is either put all your navigation links, even if only the one you want underlined, inside a smaller
 element with the desired width and then set that border-bottom as desired.
