Workplace of 2020: Technology Key Driver of Collaboration
Published on July 12, 2016 - By Cecilia Amador
New workspace research by Unispace has found that technology will be a key enabler of collaboration and interactions in the workplace.
"A few years ago, the average spend on technology was 10%, compared to 30% for services and the remainder on partitioning and furniture. Fast forward to today, and the technology spend has nearly doubled at 18%."
Technology has had a major impact on workspace and the workforce, with recent developments ranging from security and management apps to collaboration and wellness apps. Yet, the scope of technology in the workplace goes beyond having the latest apps and gadgets in place.
According to Unispace's research, "companies (are) invest[ing] in artificial intelligence to drive greater efficiencies, promote collaboration and creativity, engage the workforce, and attract talent."
While on the one hand technology has enabled flexible and remote ways of working, on the other hand it is also the driver and enabler of human interactions and collaboration in the workspace. Human beings are social creatures, which is why flexible workspace options have become so popular even in this digital work age.
Natasha Bonugli, Unispace European Design Director, says how she believes "the office is becoming a hub that people go to in order to interact and socialise." And the role of technology in this socialisation and interaction is that it's driving ways in which to do it more efficiently.
"Technology will be critical to ensuring the workforce connect on a human level, maximising collaboration time. We need to ensure they feel positive about being in the workplace and are able to communicate freely or concentrate if they need to," Natasha adds.
"Technology is becoming the key enabler and driver for more efficient ways of collaboration."
For flexible workspace operators, this means that freelancers and professionals of all types will continue to be drawn to their spaces. However operators' main goal will have to be that of user experience, collaboration, and interaction; in short, strengthening their overall workspace community.
Fact is, workers are choosing to go to workplaces even when they have the option of working from home. This means that "the modern office needs to focus on maximising collaborative spaces with human interaction being the key focus of being physically present in the office."
Otherwise, individuals will choose to stay at home instead of going into any type of work place. And technology can help.
Cloud technology, mobile technology, collaboration apps, the Internet of Things, and AI can help 'link the workforce together beyond a building's walls.' The impact on technology will go even beyond this in the future, with technology experts predicting that "every mobile worker will run their life off an app telling them where to go in the workspace based on activities."
The physical workspace will become a sort of 'organisational storytelling opportunity,' and technology's role in this will be fundamental, allowing workers to optimize their time, enhancing their interactions, and driving constant collaboration.

2018 Ford Fiesta ST is More Powerful Than Ever!
The 2018 Ford Fiesta ST was first seen at the Geneva Motor Show. The next-gen version of the supermini received some minor visual enhancement, but received huge upgrades under its hood!
Engine and Performance. According to Auto Express, the biggest news to the new Fiesta ST is under its hood. It now features a new engine configuration which uses a downsized three-cylinder motor. However, Ford claims that it now produces more power and more torque. Goodbye, 1.6-liter four-cylinder turbo; hello, 1.5-liter three-cylinder turbo!
According to the automaker, the new engine is capable of 197 bhp. That is 17 bhp more than the outgoing Fiesta ST. Moreover, the gains in torque are more apparent. The previous model was capable of only 177 lb-ft, while the new model goes up to 213 lb-ft of torque.
The performance has also improved. The new ST can do 0 to 62 mph in 6.7 seconds. This is two-tenths of a second faster than the last generation model. Moreover, this makes it on part with the limited run high-performance ST200 model. The vehicle's top speed has not yet been revealed but is expected to be above and around 140 mph.
As for fuel economy, the downsized motor will definitely be more efficient. The CO2 emissions will drop and the fuel economy will improve thanks to the cylinder deactivation technology.
Other Improvements. The improvement does not stop at the engine. According to Ford's head of small cars in Europe, Darren Palmer said that his development team is obsessed with the car's steering. Apparently, they have fine-tuned the calibration to make sure it drives impeccably. Ford is aware of how hot the Fiesta is and they wanted to make it even better to ensure its spot among the top superminis.
The seventh generation model still uses Ford's global B-car platform. However, it has some tweaks that improve grip and a wider track. In addition, its chassis has also been turned by Ford Performance.
Furthermore, the new Ford Fiesta ST also utilizes a torque-vectoring unit that reduces understeer. In addition, it comes with three selectable driving modes - Normal, Sport, and Track. This significantly alters traction control, power steering, throttle response, and exhaust valve settings.
Design and Tech Features. The 2018 Fiesta ST will be available in three-door and five-door body styles. It will look like a more aggressive version of the Fiesta. Its grille and front bumper look more aggressive than the previous model. It also has a painted rear diffuser, and it will also feature 18-inch alloy wheels. A new color option called Liquid Blue will also be available.
Ford also promises more personalization in the cabin. Different interior styling packs will be available which will alter the finishes around the cockpit. Sync 3 infotainment system will also be the standard. In addition, Recaro sports seats with a flat-bottomed sports steering wheel will also be available.
According to another report by Car Buzz, the Ford Fiesta ST won't be officially on sale until 2018. There has been no news about its availability in the United States. Hopefully, the automaker will make it available here. In the meantime, the hot hatch Ford Focus RS is plenty of fun and already available in America!

Band Aid 30: The Battle Against Ebola or Geldof's Fame Game?
By Alex Smith on	 November 20, 2014 Features Opinion Top News
30 years after the first Band Aid single was released, a new set of stars, featuring the likes of One Direction, Ed Sheeran and Emeli Sande, have come together to re-record the classic Christmas hit, with Bob Geldof hoping to raise money to fight the spread of Ebola across Western Africa.
So far, upwards of 5,000 people have been killed by this pandemic, with the number only set to rise after being declared an "international public health emergency" by the UN health agency. Treatment centres are beginning to pop-up across the affected regions, although the virus is still continuing to spread across the poverty-stricken area due to a lack of funds for proper treatments and containment of infected persons.
The video premiered on Sunday night's episode of The X Factor, featuring a few changes from the original (which has already been released 3 times), most notably of which is the change of the iconic line, as sung by Bono, from "Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you" to "Well tonight we're reaching out and touching you". As well as changing "Do they know it's Christmas time at all?" to "How can they know it's Christmas time at all?".
The changes seem to be an attempt to re-invent the classic single, however on its fourth attempt it can be seen as if Geldof is trying to flog a dead horse, and despite being something that has raised countless amounts of money for good causes across the world, one thinks that maybe now is time for some new fundraising ideas.
Also, the way he publicly shamed Adele for not taking part in the single, despite the fact she made a large donation to Oxfam, can not be seen as a 'charitable' deed. Especially when this man worth £32 million is said to use tax avoidance schemes, who is he to tell people how to behave philanthropically?
Despite the rise of free music services such as Spotify and Youtube, Geldof is urging people to pay for the single, which is available to download now, in order to raise as much money for the cause as possible. However, is this really being done just for charity, or is Geldof using it to improve his own image as the man who, when asked how much tax he paid, replied: "My time? Is that not a tax?" Something tells me the later.

The ecm run is continuation of the interplay between the cooler air to the north and the warmer air to the south with the UK at the centre of the phased dance, So within this scenario it's pointless looking too far ahead. Suffice it to say on this run we are still looking at the inevitable N/S split with the wetter mainly focused on the former and temps no better than varying around the average. But the situation is so volatile and with the models struggling the best advice, IMO, is to just keep a watching brief.
Is that another dig at me knocker?
It's not funny, you do realise we are nearly half way through July now and summer is 50 percent done, yet most of us are still waiting for it to start...at least I'm doing my bit to lift the gloom in here!
ECM looks fairly slack next week- difficult to pin down what surface conditions will be like.
The better runs yesterday morning showed the blocking across Greenland decaying, now the models want to build heights up there again and that spells bad news for the UK, again... that equates to the icelandic trough probably heading for soggy Blightly, again..
GEM looks pretty good for next week - very warm indeed with HP generally in control.
Although its not one of the 'big 3' it has been known to trump the others, lets hope this is one of those occasions.
Hi Karl. Perhaps I'm wrong but I thought the idea in here was to comment on the models, not lift the gloom by posting the best charts and with it your hopes for better weather. I do get the fact you accompany your posts with charts that back up what you are saying, but lets be honest during summer in particular it's not hard to find a set of them or maybe some perts that show impending/potential warmth or even heat, especially when looking beyond T+180hrs. Currently there is nothing that I can see to suggest any significant changes to the disappointingly average weather overall so far this summer; yes the south will see some warmth at times across the next 7-10 days, but for the bulk of us it's more of the same....whether we like it or not. Yes I think we all realise 50% of meteorological summer is almost behind us and no doubt many are as frustrated by that fact as you and I, but building hopes with good charts against overall background signals that don't really support them will ultimately deepen not lift the mood of many imo. Not a rant mate, just an observation.
Disappointingly average? If the summer had been average so far, you wouldn't be seeing so many complaints. It's been cooler than average and extremely cloudy.
I see once again that any hint of some normal summer weather is fast going down the drain on the latest runs.
It is interesting to see where the upper air is predicted to be sourced from on the anomaly charts. Not good news for fans of heat really in spite of the temperatures we see on some days for the NE of N America. Through much of the 14 day period it starts life somewhere SW of Alaska travels north of the Gt Lakes (the far south of Hudson Bay) then winds its way across the Atlantic, (sometimes from the Greenland/Iceland area, sometimes from a point west of the UK), into the UK. So don't expect the air to feel warm out of any sun. Dewpoints are bound to be rather depressed with air from this source regardless of its track. Of course the occasional day will have air originating from a more southerly point with higher dewpoints.
I think he's just seen number 1 - and now he's so excited, he needs a number 1!
Well the ecm 00z mean isn't to bad moving forward,nothing majorly hot but no washout going off next weeks mean at anyrate,shows the trough lifting north although its quite a slack set up ..
Saturday-Thursday looks quite warm for most of England from GFS (maxima of 25-29C).
Can we keep it to the models to at least one degree or another please. Above is a microcosm of how difficult to moderate it can be at times in here - a bit of humour is fine, but various (and varied - including negative) reactions to it then takes us way off on a tangent.
The GEM 00z is a peach of a run if you like warmth / heat with plenty of sunshine and even some thunderstorms next week as humidity rises, temps would reach the low to mid 80's F in parts of the s / e.
Yes it's a BEAUTY, hope we get a taste of summer next week. I can't believe our bad luck this year, it's the equivalent of last winter when winter never showed up and reminds me of the pain we coldies endure all too often, hope our luck changes!
I take on board your observations / criticism but it's just my style, I like to think I give a reasonably balanced view of the run I'm describing but I also add a dash of optimism and inject some humour when the charts allow it and by the same token, if it's a poor run I don't hold back either..it's just the way I post.
Fair points....well looking at the 06 GFS out to 144hrs it really is a case of close, but just not quite close enough, at least not north of the M4 corridor. Obviously the boundary of summer will wax and wane across subsequent runs, but at this stage we just cannot seem to consistently build pressure high enough or far enough north to give hope of protracted warm, settled weather nationally....which is becoming almost as frustrating as being stuck under a strongly mobile pattern! All that said, compared to what most of us have endured across the last 5 or 6 weeks, there are grounds for at least some optimism imo....I'll take that for now!
The EPS anomalies this morning are telling the familiar tale in the 6-10 period of maintaining a westerly upper flow so any lengthy warm spells will be at a premium. Taking John's point of the source of the airstream rather exemplifies the N/S split. Towards the end of the 14 day period it's supporting the GEFS with ridging into Greenland which is not particularly good news, hopefully it'll come to nowt, as this would likely plunge the UK temps below average again.
The Gfs 6z op run shows the south having a summery spell next week with temps into the mid 20's celsius and a little higher at times, becoming more humid too, there is a chance of isolated thundery showers next week in the south but largely fine and warm / very warm. Further north / northwest it looks cooler and more changeable / unsettled but still with some fine and pleasant weather at times but for the south it looks good next week.
From an IMBY point of view, we might get away with a few decent days down here....the north look like being stuck in our semi permanent autumn cycle of disappointing temperatures, wind and some rain.
The overall pattern (as others have backed up) is simply not conducive at the moment to any sort of sustained settled spell, with pressure too high and too low in all the wrong places to favour the UK. Eastern Europe is having another good summer, looks like that's the place to be for some heat...(Kiev next 5 days - 31/32/31/30/34/).
Hmm, Glasgow temps next six days.. 17/19/17/14/13/13...semi permanent Autumn seems right MB.... I seem to remember feeling the same last year too... Summer last year for us was a few days at beginning of July.... This year ... A spell in June? Thoroughly depressing really.
It looks very hot in Spain and Portugal on them gfs 06z charts. If this evolving of the pattern continues then August could bring some very hot and humid conditions here, hopefully not just for London as I'm fed up with this North/South divide every summer its like a sickness.
Looking at the next few days, a ridge of high pressure pushes in from the west tomorrow so it looks a fine and pleasantly warm day, the ridge subsides southwards on Friday but southern areas again look fine and a degree or two warmer but a warm front attached to a depression to the northwest pushes rain across Scotland and northern england.. now the weekend, southern england could again be largely fine and warmer and more humid with temps around 25c but fronts will be pushing down across the rest of the uk where it won't be anything like as warm with some rain followed by sunshine and a few showers, a cool front slipping across the SE by Sat night or sun morning.. so, no heat this weekend, indeed, sunday looks the cooler and fresher of the two nationwide.
It's been hot across Iberia for weeks and even parts of SW France have seen the high 30's, so no reason to a suppose any of that heat will migrate this far north as we go into the final month of meteorological summer imo, though of course it might. Whilst it's hugely galling to sit here in 13c blowtorch SW'erlies in Jan while Greece gets sub zero temps and snow, seeing the 15c 850mb line pushing as far north as the Arctic coast of Russia next week really does take the proverbial In fact looking at Noril'sk, deep inside the Arctic Circle and the most northerly city in the world, temps from Fri-Tue will be in the range 27-31c!


To enable the transition to water sensitive cities, evaluation frameworks should be used that correspond with an organisation's desired goals for a water sensitive city. The goals should be shared by different sectors and levels of government, to promote coordination, to help set priorities, and to clarify responsibilities.
… urban planning and water system design are typically undertaken in separation from each other, making integrated water solutions difficult.
developed capacity building training and guidelines to support the adoption of the models.
applied the Water Sensitive Cities toolkit in real industry contexts such as for Aquarevo and Ripley Valley.
To enable the transition to water sensitive cities, cost–benefit analyses should consider and quantify externalities or non-market values of water services such as social and environmental benefits. Investments should be based on the highest value option that incorporates market and non-market benefits as well as citizen preferences.
Australian towns and cities often try to meet twenty-first-century challenges by re-investing in nineteenth-century strategies that are now recognised as economically and environmental inefficient and ill aligned with community values and expectations. Without the inclusion of environmental and social benefits into economic evaluation frameworks used in water-related decision making, it will remain difficult to change the status quo.

Greenpeace reaction to UK decision to leave EU
"Over the coming months we all need to demand that the government replaces European regulations protecting nature with new UK laws that are just as strong. "There is a very real fear that Cameron's successor will come from the school that supports a bonfire of anti-pollution protections. The climate change-denying wing of the Conservative Party will be strengthened by this vote for Brexit. That means the green movement, indeed every Briton who values a clean and safe environment, may need to stand up for nature in the face of an attack on th...	Read More »
Amnesty International: EU 'burying heads in the sand' as hundreds more migrants die at sea off Italy
"This new tragedy realizes our worst fears about the end of Italy's Mare Nostrum search and rescue operation and exposes the predictable consequences of the European Union's failure to provide an adequate replacement," said John Dalhuisen, Europe and Central Asia Programme Director at Amnesty International. "The humanitarian crisis that sparked the need for Mare Nostrum has not gone away. With people continuing to flee war and persecution, EU member states must stop burying their heads in the sand whilst hundreds keep dying at sea." Accor...	Read More »

It shows that while the UK has the lowest proportion of over 65s living in cold housing during winter, UK pensioners are at greater risk of poverty in retirement than their counterparts in Germany, France, Spain, and Romania. If you use gross replacement rate (i.e. how much of the typical income the state pension replaces) as a measure, you will find that while those in Greece receive almost 100% of their pre...

On June 1, a light rain held off just long enough for Concord Academy 96th Commencement exercises on the Elizabeth B. Hall Chapel lawn. On this occasion marking a new beginning, the class of 2018 and their families had much to celebrate, and much to be inspired by.
In her final year as president of the Board of Trustees, Kim Williams P'08, '14 opened the ceremony by addressing the graduating seniors as "a community of individuals," in all the contradictions that implies — strong willed, sharing a purpose, newly confident in their unique voices. She welcomed them into a network of accomplished alumnae/i and acknowledged a special place for them within it.
Head of School Rick Hardy thanked Williams for her five years presiding over a period of remarkable progress at CA. "It has been Kim's insistence on staying true to CA's mission — love of learning for its own sake; a commitment to diversity and inclusion; and the abiding principle of common trust — that has distinguished her leadership," he said.
The ceremony unfolded in CA's distinctive fashion, with seniors singing a class song and, as Hardy said, "no mention of awards, prizes, or diplomas with distinction," because of this community's conviction that "all students, not just a select few, deserve recognition." Shared instead were selections from seniors' chapel talks — a mosaic of individual voices that brought humor and wisdom from many perspectives.
Student Head of School Kaity Goodwin '18 recognized departing members of the faculty and those who had reached the milestones of 20 years at CA, John Drew, George Larivee, and John McGarry; 30 years, Nancy Howard; and 35 years, Howie Bloom; as well as the retirement of piano teacher Lodowick Crofoot, after 50 years of service to the school.
When she took the podium, Hunt brought warmth, energy, and candor to a remarkable speech that united her family's personal journey with CA's history as a school. She looked ahead to a "double centennial" — CA's milestone anniversary in 2022 will coincide with the hundredth birthday of her grandmother, who "grew up in the same era as this great school, out of the same atmosphere of renewal and uncertainty," and "who reinforced the very same lessons about adaptability and empathy that I learned here," she said.
Just as the paths for women in the world were changing, her grandmother was completing her own education as she worked as a maid. Hunt's grandfather, after great toil and saving, had built a house for his family with his own hands. Hunt told of the time her grandmother's employer insisted on driving her home in a snowstorm. When she saw how nice her cleaning woman's house was, she fired Hunt's grandmother on the spot.
Her grandmother nevertheless kept and treasured the handbags that this and other employers had given her as gifts — as does Hunt, to whom she passed them on at her college graduation. "That woman's name stitched inside my Nana's purse was a symbol of all the decades of transformation that exist between us," Hunt said. "It reminds me that the horizon is far, but also quite close — it's vital to keep pace." Hunt carried the same clutch at her investiture as Dame Commander of the British Empire, and she brought it to CA that day.

Happy New Year! We'll kick off the blog this year with a note on an interesting court decision regarding public sector unions.
On New Year's Eve, the Tenth Circuit, in Cillo v City of Greenwood Village, reversed summary judgment entered by a lower court and held that a reasonable jury could conclude a police officer's union activity was a substantial motivating factor in the decision to fire him based on evidence that he was terminated while similarly situated non-union officers who also violated the Fourth Amendment were treated more favorably, and in one instance not disciplined at all.
The employee was an officer for the Greenwood Village Police Department for 28 years and overall had a solid work record and history of promotions. Before 2007, most officers belonged to the local lodge of the Fraternal Order of Police, a national association with some, but not all characteristics of a union (for example, it does not advocate collective bargaining). In 2007, the employee and two others formed Local 305, a chapter of the International Union of Police Associations, and the employee served as chapter president. Unlike the Fraternal Order of Police, the union advocated collective bargaining and did not allow members of management to join. The union launched an aggressive recruiting effort that criticized the city and command staff for inadequate training, poor morale, low pay, and unfairness in decision making, among other things.
In June 2009, the employee was discharged for allegedly violating the Fourth Amendment when he forcefully entered a motel room when attempting to stop a crime. The employee and the union sued the city, the city manager, the chief, and the investigating lieutenant alleging violations of their First Amendment right of free association under Sec. 1983. The employee also filed a state law claim against the city for discriminating against him based on his union association and a state law claim against the individual defendants for tortious interference with his employment contract.
Noting that the other non-union officers had been shown leniency for similar infractions, anti-union comments made by management, and other evidence of union animus, the Tenth Circuit held that there was sufficient evidence to support an inference that the employee's association with the union served as the basis for his termination – which would potentially violate his First Amendment right to associate with a union under Section 1983. The Court also held the employee's supplemental state law claims likewise should be heard by a jury.
This case serves as a reminder that while most "government entities" are not subject to the National Labor Relations Act, there are constitutional and other legal considerations that must be evaluated when handling labor relations issues in the public sector.
A copy of the court's decision can be found here.

Dax recovers a little from the previous day's loss
© Fredrik von Erichsen / dpa The Dax is the most important stock index in Germany. The German stock market recovered somewhat on Tuesday from the losses it had suffered at the beginning of the week. The leading index Dax advanced by 0.83 percent to 12,646.52 points in early trading. The day before, the stock market barometer had slipped by more than 4 percent for fear of investors of a new wave of corona infections.
The 2010 Women Matter study provides a focused analysis on how to achieve gender diversity at top management level. Notes: Proprietary database: 441 companies from the local reference index: Norway (OBX – 25), Sweden (OMXS – 29), France (CAC 40), Germany ( DAX 29), Spain (IBX 35)
Women comprise about 47% of the U.S. workforce, yet they make up barely a quarter of all senior executives at large U.S. public companies. Even worse, only about 5% of Standard & Poor's 500 companies have female CEOs.
The consequences of the pandemic on the economy are serious. It is often criticized that women are particularly suffering from the crisis. According to a recent study, they are on the decline even in German management.

, of all things, in the corona crisis, the proportion of female managers in Germany is falling. While in other western industrialized countries the trend is going in exactly the opposite direction, German corporations are restructuring their management floors so that even fewer women remain in management positions. That is the key message of a current study by the German-Swedish AllBright Foundation.

While board members in the USA and other industrialized nations are becoming significantly more female, two mechanisms can be observed in listed German companies in the year of the crisis: "A downsizing of board members and recourse to the familiar, the familiar, the tried and tested - one relies on men" Investigation to the point.
Opposing trend
Much more often than in previous years, German corporations would have said goodbye to their female board members in 2019, so that the proportion of women in the 30 companies listed in the German stock index Dax no longer rose as in previous years, but decreased in the past year and on the level of 2017 had fallen. Currently it is only 12.8 percent. Overall, the number of DAX companies without a single woman on the board has jumped from 6 to 11 since September 2019.

In management , women are classified as having the right people skills, able to tap into female consumer power and adept at extracting employee commitment. In functional areas such as finance, research, operations, and general management , women managers remain a much smaller minority.
In countries such as the USA, Great Britain, Sweden or France, according to the studies of the study authors, management teams with more women are continuously being built up even in times of crisis. In the USA the proportion of women in top management is highest at 28.6 percent, followed by Sweden (24.9 percent) and Great Britain (24.5 percent). This means that the proportion of women there is "more than twice as high as in the most important German companies, which are in last place in an international comparison and are falling further and further behind."

Dax without a single corporate boss
The study by the AllBright Foundation not only criticizes the fact that Germany is the only country in the comparison where not one of the 30 largest corporations has a 30 percent share of women on the executive board. It is even the only country without a CEO in the 30 largest listed companies. The only woman who made it to the top of the board of a Dax group in October 2019 - Jennifer Morgan at the software giant SAP - had to leave after just six months.
And while 97 percent of American and 87 percent of French large companies have several women on the board, in Germany only the four DAX companies Allianz, Daimler, Deutsche Telekom and Fresenius Medical Care could claim that.
Trend towards female managers from within Germany
Many of the "departed board members" were pioneers in top management who were often recruited from abroad. This first generation will now be gradually replaced, so that 90 percent of the newly hired female board members in 2019 will come from Germany. "The 'pipeline' of women executives in German companies is more full than ever before," is the optimistic outlook of the study authors despite everything.

10 years ago today the iPhone went on sale and changed everything -- so why didn't I want one?
On January 9, 2007, Steve Jobs introduced the iPhone at the Macworld Conference and Expo in San Francisco. It was the usual quality presentation from Apple's sorely missed boss, with some great moments of humor. Our first glimpse of the phone was in fact actually a mock-up of an iPod with a rotary dial in place of the usual click wheel. The audience clapped and hooted. Jobs then went on to show the real device, and it was pretty mind-blowing.
Here was a phone that looked nothing like a phone. It looked nothing like an iPod, for that matter either. It was pretty much all screen, controlled by touch using your finger -- or fingers, thanks to the power of multi-touch -- and was, according to Jobs, powered by OS X. The device could tell if you were holding it portrait or landscape, and knew when you were holding it up to your ear, and so prevent you prematurely ending a call with the side of your face. It came with a 620MHz processor, 128MB of memory and a 2MP camera. It was a magical device. This was the future, being shown right here. A device to be coveted by all. But I didn't want one.
The first iPhone went on sale in the USA on June 29, 2007 -- ten years ago today. Exclusively on AT&T it was initially available in 4GB and 8GB models for $499 and $599 respectively. Would-be purchasers queued right around the block outside the Apple stores. I wasn't one of them. Partly because I wasn't interested, and partly because I live in the United Kingdom and the iPhone didn't come out here until four months later, by which time the 4GB model had been discontinued stateside and the price of the 8GB model cut by a third to $399.
The iPhone 3GS was released on June 19, 2009. This new model came in 8GB, 16GB and 32GB flavors, was faster, thanks to an 833MHz ARM Cortex-A8 processor and 256MB of memory, and had a much better 3MP camera that, unlike its predecessors, could record video (VGA). It offered voice control too.
My love affair with the 3GS didn't last very long though. The iPhone 4 was released on June 24, 2010, bringing with it the Retina Display, a super-speedy 1Ghz Apple A4 processor (making it twice as fast as my new phone, and four times as fast as the original model) and 512MB of memory. It was slimmer, had a glass body, and a new and improved 5MP camera capable of recording 720p HD video. It had a front camera too, so users could FaceTime (Apple lingo for video chatting). It also had a new feature called "Death Grip", which caused calls to drop when you held the phone in a certain way. But Jobs had me at "Retina Display" so I upgraded immediately.
On October 4, 2011, with everyone hoping for the iPhone 5, the 4S was announced by new Apple boss Tim Cook. This had various improvements, including 1080p video recording, but the most notable new inclusion was Siri -- a magical personal assistant who could read messages aloud and send dictated replies, tell you the weather, convert measurements, schedule events, and more -- if you were lucky. The UK got Siri's dumb brother (also called Siri) who was rubbish, couldn't understand regional accents, and had no idea about local businesses. Thankfully he soon got smarter (and later transitioned into a woman).
The iPhone 5, announced in September 2012, didn't appeal enough to get me to switch. Sure it had a larger screen than its predecessor -- a massive 4-inches -- but my Galaxy S III had a 4.8 inch screen and I didn't want to lose that real estate. But aside from LTE connectivity, a better camera, and the change from glass to aluminum on the back, there really wasn't much about the new iPhone to interest me. The Apple Maps fiasco made me even surer this was a phone to be ignored.
But then in 2013 Apple unveiled the iPhone 5s, with its stylish new colors -- space gray, silver and gold -- and new 64-bit A7 processor which was twice as fast as the iPhone 5, according to Apple. This device also introduced a new M7 co-processor, F2.2 aperture camera lens, Touch ID -- the long rumored fingerprint reader -- and the all new iOS 7. There was also another new iPhone, the plastic/polycarbonate bodied 5c in a choice of bright colors, but I didn't care for that. I was already in love with the 5s, and upgraded to it at the first opportunity.
In 2014, Apple gave the world the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. Both devices were much bigger, offered Apple Pay (a new way for iPhone users to pay for their morning coffee!) and sported the usual raft of minor improvements. They also bent. Uh-oh. I wasn't convinced it was worth the upgrade, however, so chose to stick with my 5s for a while longer. My colleague Joe Wilcox, did buy it though, and was impressed.
In 2015, it was time for me to upgrade once more, and again I chose to go down the Apple route. The new 6s and 6s Plus models featured better cameras, a more durable case, Force Touch technology, and a more powerful A9 processor. I almost immediately regretted my purchase though, thanks to a stupid iOS 9 bug which prevented certain apps from being able to use a mobile data connection. Thankfully this was quickly fixed.
And in 2016, I upgraded once again, to the iPhone 7, suddenly finding myself on the yearly upgrade path. What had I become? The new model improved the cameras again, and added an A10 Fusion chip that was 120x faster than the original iPhone. Apple also removed the headphone jack, but as I only use Bluetooth headphones with my phone, I was fine with that.
This year I'm expecting to upgrade again, but I'll have to see what Apple serves up first (who am I kidding? Just take my money already, Apple).
With the original iPhone Apple changed phones forever, and brought us so many good things -- multi-touch, video calling, proper web browsing, built-in personal assistant, and of course apps. It's fair to say, without the iPhone today's mobile phones would be very, very different.
Ten years on and the iPhone is sleeker, faster and more powerful, but it's still essentially the same device. The first iPhone was a revolution. Every subsequent update has been an evolution, and that -- for me -- is exactly how it should be.

The Medical Scandal that the Mainstream Media Ignores
By Katherine Cave
Over the past few years, media stories about "transgender" kids have become increasingly common, but critical questions are seldom asked. These children's identities are portrayed as immutable, while the ideologically-driven medical practices solidifying them are not investigated. Why won't they report the truth: that these children and their families are victims of ruthless medical practices with no basis in science?

The Many Harms of Gender Identity Laws: A Mother of a Trans-Identifying Teen Speaks Out
All people should be protected from harassment and harm, no matter how they identify. But we as a society must be allowed to reasonably act on the basis of sex when medical treatment, privacy, and safety are at stake. If "gender identity" becomes a protected class, women and children are the ones who will suffer most.

Challenger 300Next
8 - 10 passengers
6.0' height - 7.2' width - 25.2' length
Manufactured by Bombardier Aerospace, the Challenger 350 first entered service in 2014. It is the first variation of the Challenger 300, which was launched in 2004 and became the popular choice in the super-mid class. The Challenger 350 appears primed to take over the mantle. The Challenger 350 integrates sophisticated styling, ergonomics and advanced cabin technology flawlessly. It provides an atmosphere that's conducive to both work and relaxation. It has improved range but maybe the best feature of the Challenger 350 is its runway performance which allows the aircraft to access the most challenging airports.

It is so very easy to be distracted the first time you are searching to rent a car. When scanning through diverse advertisements, do you ever thought of not being able to find the finest deal? You are not even sure which one is the best deal. If this is your first time renting a car or not, it is definitely significant you do not enter a car rental agreement without examining all of the privileges available to you. Insurance is a typical case in point.
Indeed, the four familiar types are: Supplemental liability insurance, personal accident insurance, personal effects coverage and collision damage waiver (CDW) or loss damage waiver (LDW). Nearly all rental car companies will hike the CDW very hard, and also the theft insurance. What you should understand is that you do not really want any of them. Before paying out $15 every day or more, make sure to find out if your regular auto insurance already covers rentals. Do also check your credit cards policy on rentals.
Most rental company do want a credit card for payment. This is true because it is very simple for the company to include charges for damages later on. Therefore, you should not use your debit card at all. You will not have the advantage to question the charges if you are cheated. Be sure to utilize your credit card. On the other hand, since you are using a credit card, be absolutely sure to find out if your credit card company offers automatic insurance coverage whenever you charge the rental to that card. You will be startled how many of them do.
One other thing to be worried of is the fuel purchase option. The purpose is that you make a payment for a full tank of gas up front so you could return the rental car empty. But the truth is that, it is ridiculous for you to consume all the gas in the car, so so your best bet is to not accept the offer and simply fill up the tank prior to returning it. In that way, you are only paying for what you consume. If not, the cost is generally higher than what you truly use. Apart from this, these rental companies only rent to persons over 25 years or more.
Some of these companies rent cars to individuals 21 years or more but not without a further ten to twenty dollars per day. Moreover, the person who is renting the car is actually covered under the insurance, and as such do not let your friends drive because if he or she is involved in an accident, you are surly answerable. Do have this in mind, and be on the look out for local taxes.
You can as well search out the most costly and cheapest cities by doing a search online and so plan your car rental based on that. By making use of all the tools available to you and with your experience, you are bound to have a great surprise.

In your opinion what is the true difference between an emcee and a rapper?
Although rap is one of the five elements of hip hop (Those elements being the DJ, The breakdancer, the graffiti artists, the emcee, and the knowledge) an emcee is trained to focus more on the overall impact that is brought into the community through their craft. A true emcee knows the culture comes first and although rap is a skill a true emcee knows that hip hop is a way of living. On the other hand, a rapper wields one skill. Although a rapper writes rhymes there are many rappers who violate the first rule of hip hop that rule being authenticity. Yes, a rapper may be involved in the culture of hip hop but an emcee is the culture!!
What do you feel Is the greatest flaw in today's hip hop Truthfully?
I feel that a true lack of maturity is present in today's generation of hip hop. Much of the youth have become blind to the overall impact of the content in which they consume. Hip hop began as a movement that was built to inspire and bring about a positive change but much of our youth has become blind to the truth. I truly do feel that the emcees of today should instill knowledge to build the character of the men and women of today's society. I say this to glorify the fact that our children are the future and it is vital that we stand together to transform this generation into an army of positive role models.
Recently you were featured in the Austin Chronicle.
How does it feel to know that you may essentially become the driving force that places Austin Texas at the forefront of mainstream hip hop. Truthfully, I am absolutely honored to know that I may be on the verge of revolutionizing Texas hip hop in a major way. Yes, I have the utmost respect for Houston hip hop and all of the greats such as Z Ro, Trae the truth, paul wall fat pat DJ Screw Pimp C, Lil Keke and many others but I feel that Austin Texas hip hop has been slept on for far too long. As I said I mean absolutely no disrespect by saying that I'm simply saying that Austin Texas deserves to be praised just as much as Houston.

Devils celebrate. Pic: Helen Brabon.
Joey Martin led Cardiff Devils to victory on a dramatic and emotional night at the Viola Arena in Cardiff Bay.
Canadian playmaker Martin took his goals tally for the season to 33 with a hat-trick which ended Sheffield Steelers challenge in the Elite League Predictorbet play-offs.
It was an intense, physical battle and at one stage went ahead on aggregate during the final period, but Devils held their nerve to qualify for the finals weekend.
They will play Nottingham Panthers in the semi-finals, while Belfast Giants take on Guildford Flames.
A sell-out attendance at the Viola created an amazing, incredibly noisy atmosphere and home fans somehow became even louder with their support when Devils slipped behind on aggregate.
Steelers earned a 5-4 in the first leg of their quarter-final against Devils which was shown live on Freesports television.
Martin (3), Sean Bentivoglio, Mark Richardson, Layne Ulmer and Matthew Myers scored for Devils on a night which will rank among the best at their home arena.
Devils were rocked when Steelers hit back from 3-1 down on the night to level the scores at 3-3 and edge ahead on aggregate.
Eric Neiley scored 26 seconds into the final period and then Jordan Owens scored at 41-13 to stun Home fans and give Steelers the overall lead at 8-7.
Devils though responded with four goals in the final ten and a half minutes.
Layne Ulmer scored at 49-40 on the powerplay, while Matthew Myers' pass across the face of the goal somehow squirmed between goalie Jackson Whistle's pads and into the net 39 seconds later.
The goal was reviewed for possible goaltender interference and awarded.
Martin moved Devils two ahead on aggregate when he pounced on a rebound at 53-21 and the Canadian forward then completed his hat-trick by scoring an empty net goal with three seconds left to complete a 7-3 win on the night.
Devils v Panthers will be the second semi-final at the play-off fans weekend in Nottingham. Giants v Flames will face-off at 1pm with Devils v Panthers starting at 5pm.
