After the unveiling of Bose QC 35 II high-end headphones with Google Assistant, Bose proved to have another ace up their sleeve. This time, it is something slightly different. Aside from SoundWear companion speaker that wraps around your neck, there is a new SoundSport Free In-ear Headphone.
Did Apple AirPods get a well-worth rival? Continue reading through this compelling article to learn more about the latest Bose SoundSport Free In-ear headphones and whether they live up to the challenge.
SoundSport is completely wireless pair of headphones, dedicated to athletes and everyone who wants to maximize their mobility whether it is about completing a workout, studying, or doing anything in particular. For its primary purpose, sport, Bose has ensured that they were water and sweat resistance (With Ipx4 rating), allowing the users to soak, as long they won't use the headphones while swimming.
Another beneficial feature of these wonderfully engineered earbuds is that they are weighing light as near as feather, ensuring further portability. Each earbud weighs 0.35 ounces while measuring only 1.1-inches high.
Anyone who has been using wireless headphones knows that the Bluetooth reliability is not always in its place. Whether it is wall, wind or other obstacles, it is nearly impossible that the headphones will be connected to the phone always. With that in mind, Bose features an innovative antennae system for a cover-range of 30 feet away.
The battery life at 5 hours lifespan might sound modest to some. Still, it is fundamental to note that the earbuds come equipped with a charging case, which fixes the buds in one position. The case offers two full charges extending the battery life for 5 more hours.
Just like with QC 35 II, Bose SoundSport Free offers a free app which helps you maintain your soundtracks, playlists, and much, much more. Being so portable, SoundSport Free wouldn't be surprising if you put your headphones in place not easy to be seen. Bose covers up this inconvenience too.
Inside the app, there is a hidden feature called "find my buds." It enables the user to track the earbuds in the last place they were used, as well as providing the last time of use. Furthermore, there is an option to access Google's, Samsung's or iPhone's digital assistant by clicking the button located on the right earbud.
Bose SoundSports is the first truly wireless pair of headphones by Bose. That means that wires are a thing of past, even that one wire for snuggling around your neck is gone. Fortunately, Bose didn't ditch absolutely every trademark of the famous Bose SoundSport series.
The StayHear+ tips (in sizes S/M/L) still make their appearance on the earbuds making it safe for your ears and eliminating the possibility to lose your earbuds even during the most intense workouts.
Unlike Bose QC 35 II that started shipping on Thursday, SoundSport Free will be officially released at the beginning of October, when they will start with the shipping as well. Unfortunately, those who love colorful workouts will have to take a rest with the black model or wait until midnight blue, and yellow citron sees the light of the day.
We are crossing fingers and eagerly waiting for the earbuds of the year- Bose SoundSport free, until we get a chance to review them.
Do you think that other great headphone brands plan to move earbud compatibility to this level? Let us know in the comments!

Aldine ISD Online Resources Cultivate Guided Inquiry!
This year I am attempting a new Guided Inquiry project. I meet with fourth graders in the computer lab two days a week for an hour for inquiry based lessons that are planned with the Guided Inquiry Design model.
The first lesson I have designed and implemented is one stemming from a State of Texas 3/6 grade reading list called the Texas Bluebonnet program. The Texas Bluebonnet Program publishes a new list of books from a wide range of genres each year. Students in 3-6 grades read at least five books and then vote on their favorite at the end of January. The winning author is honored at a luncheon at the state library conference and a group of students are invited to present the author the award.
One of the books on the list this year is Space Case by Stuart Gibbs. The introduction in the book is a letter to the reader that welcomes them to the first permanent human habitation on the moon.
I used this letter/introduction as the Open to our first GI project. I then had students spend a few minutes thinking about what it might be like to be sent to live on the moon. We opened a Google Doc and students jotted down notes, thoughts, ideas, and questions. Must not forget the questions!
I then introduced the students to 3 of our district online resources such as Britannica, Scienceflix and PebbleGo. I had them look at the sites; explore what was on them about the moon. It was so thrilling to see the students excited about using the online resources rather than "Googling it." I fully support Google; don't get me wrong, but our fourth grade students need a place to go to find legitimate, readable sites on their level.
I can't tell you how often the students get stuck in Immerse and Explore phases when they use Google, at first. I watch them Google a phrase, often misspelling it, find thousands of websites and proceed to open then close them without reading the first word. They move on to open, close, open, close over and over and then get frustrated. Or, I see students immediately go to images to learn about, say natural resources and spend hours looking at photos without actually learning any specific details. Therefore, it was exhilarating to see them excited about their searches and the information they were oohing-and-ahhing over.
The next class period, I introduced three more district and state sponsored online resources and allowed them to continue exploring to see what they could find about the Moon and potential life on the moon. On the third class meeting, I showed the students a clip from Discovery Education of a modular unit that has plans for use on the moon. I allowed students then to continue exploring other video clips about life on the moon, life in space, space travel, etc.
We again logged into Goggle Drive to take notes and document questions and thoughts as they were exploring. Students were motivated to ask if they could go back to a previous website, or if they could try new ones, and were excited over the details they were finding. I had students ask if they could use specific information databases they knew about that I didn't introduce, or explore others listed on our district online resources page. The energy for this project is high, even for students who don't necessarily gravitate toward space or space travel topics. Equally exciting, when I gave them 10 minutes of "free exploration time in district sponsored games and resources" for working so hard, more than half of them chose to stay in the online resources tab to either explore other interests, or continued exploring space topics.
When reflecting upon the lesson with the first group of students, I added a step or two here and there with the next group. I wanted to have students record their thought processes and add a reflection piece as well. Therefore, we had a mini-lesson about logging into our district Google account, opening a document, brainstorming thoughts, adding a title, etc. Students used a Google Doc to jot down thoughts, ideas, questions, and reflections before, during and after exploring online resources. So, see I do support and use Google for education!
We have not finished this unit, our next step will involve a minilesson on academic honesty and citing sources. We then will begin to actually search for answers to our questions, now that we have a good idea of which databases and online resources will be most helpful.

As the revised legislation of European Union (EU) Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) came into force from 13 August, the UK and other (EU) Member States have time until 14 February 2014 to bring themselves in line with the recast of the WEEE Directive.
The Recast will take 20 days to enter EU law, as it has been delayed due to modifications to the wording of the legislation.
As per the laws, member states will be required to collect 45t of WEEE for every 100t put onto the market in the three preceding years, which is equivalent to 45%, by 2016.
These targets will then increase further in 2019 to a rate of 65t from every 100t put onto the market.
The Directive, according to the European Union, will give member states greater powers to fight the illegal export of waste.
EU environment commissioner Janez Potocnik said that during these times of economic turmoil and rising prices for raw materials, resource efficiency is where environmental benefits and innovative growth opportunities come together.
"We now need to open new collection channels for electronic waste and improve the effectiveness of existing ones. I encourage the Member States to meet these new targets before the formal deadline," added Potocnik.
Earlier, all member states had a target to collect 4kg of WEEE per person per year.

Anambra Killing: University students flee hostels over fear of reprisal
Nine people, including minors, were killed on Monday in Ukpomachi community, Awkuzu, Oyi Local Government Area of Anambra State, by unknown assailants.
byAgency Report
Students of Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University (COOU) in Anambra, living off the Igbariam campus, have fled their lodges over fear of reprisal.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reported that this followed the killing of nine people, including minors, in Ukpomachi community, Awkuzu, Oyi Local Government Area, by unknown assailants on Monday morning.
A student, who pleaded anonymity, said the gory sight of some of the victims, who had their heads decapitated by the assailants, instilled fear in students residing off campus.
"As you can see now, many students have fled their hostels because nobody knows what may happen next.
"I am packing my things to leave my lodge too because this incident might result in a reprisal attack and I don't want to be caught in the middle of it all.
"As for now, I cannot say this is the reason for the murder," the student said.
Another student, Grace Ifediora, seen with a traveling bag, said she was heading home and would only return when normalcy is restored in the area.
"My parents heard of the attack and asked that I come back home, that is why I am leaving," she said.
Reacting, the spokesperson of the school, Christian Chukwueloka, urged students and parents not to entertain any fear as the incident never occurred within the university.
"The incident happened far away from the university community. After the incident, the Vice Chancellor had given out a lot of assurances that security is everywhere to protect students.
"So parents, students and concerned citizens entertaining any fear should not, because no student was killed and the incident happened far away from the community and therefore, nobody should panic.
"As far as the university community is concerned, there is no need for fear. Lecturers are there teaching and security has been beefed up just in case," he said.
Meanwhile, the police spokesperson in Anambra, Tochukwu Ikenga, while confirming the incident, said the Commissioner of Police, Monday Kuryas, has ordered discreet investigation into the matter.
In a statement, made available to NAN on Monday, Mr Ikenga, a deputy superintendent of police, said adequate security had been put in place to forestall further occurrence.
Mr Ikenga said the assailants, armed with machetes and other dangerous weapons, invaded the community in their numbers and attacked the residents, resulting in the death of nine persons, whose identities are yet to be ascertained.
According to him, the victims had visible injuries on their bodies while their buildings and livestock were also destroyed.
Mr Ikenga, who restated the resolve of the police to get to the root of the incident, called on residents to remain calm and volunteer useful information that would help the police in its investigation.

Q: How to retrieve object from runtime environment? Say I have an object defined within a function:
foo <- function(){
  bar <- c("list", "of", "object", "values")
}

How can I retrieve this object from the ephemeral runtime environment created when executing the function?
I understand that I could edit the function to assign this object to a permanent, named environment using <<- or assign() - or, more crudely, just copy-paste the desired text from the function body - but I'm looking for a programmatic solution which obviates the need to modify the function.

A: To pass bar to the caller one normally returns it.  In the example function it would be:
bar <- foo()

If bar were an intermediate result in foo which is not returned then use trace:
trace(foo, exit = quote(bar <<- bar))
## [1] "foo"

foo()
## Tracing foo() on exit

untrace(foo)

bar
## [1] "list"   "of"     "object" "values"

Home/Cleaning/5 Reasons to buy Roomba 980 and not Roomba 960
5 Reasons to buy Roomba 980 and not Roomba 960
When it comes to robot vacuum cleaners, iRobot Roomba is a household name with the Roomba 900 Series having the top of the range models. The 900 Series consists of Roomba 960 as the base model and Roomba 980 as the ceiling model.
One thing about these two models and Roombas, in general, is that they are quite expensive. But then, iRobot is among the high-end robot vacuum brands so definitely you expect it to cost much more than regular brands. The Roomba 960 and Roomba 980 in particular cost close to £1000 but offer excellent value for money. This is courtesy of the unique and features including an all-new VSLAM navigation with cameras, Generation 3 motors and a host of other innovative features.
For many homeowners, the quest for finding the perfect robot vacuum cleaner doesn't end at settling on Roomba 900 Series. I agree that you can never go wrong with the Roomba 900 Series but then, don't settle for the less expensive Roomba 960 if you don't know what you are missing in the Roomba 980. I have used the Roomba 980 and also tested the 960, and my choice remains the former. Here are the top 5 reasons why I would still buy the Roomba 980 despite the slightly higher price tag.
Gen 3 Motor
Carpet Boost
Longer runtime
Two Virtual Walls barriers
So, is Roomba 960 a waste of money?
Perhaps the biggest strength of the Roomba 980 is the new Generation 3 brushless DC motor. It is more efficient and amazingly better than the old Gen 2 motor the Roomba 960 has. The older robot vacuums use a 1st Gen motor that is less efficient and noisy. 2nd Gen motors are a little bit improved but still won't match the power of Gen 3 motors. But then, the story of the Roomba 980's Gen 3 motor is better told when it comes to the high and low power modes it can run on. It is worth mentioning that only a few robot vacuum cleaners use a Gen 3 motor.
If you are looking for a Roomba that delivers excellent action on carpets, then you must have come across Carpet Boost. Like mentioned earlier, Gen 3 motors run on two modes; low and high power. Low power mode is the standard running mode ideal for vacuuming hard floors. But when it comes to carpets, more suction power is required, and that's where Carpet Boost comes in. When the Roomba 980 detects carpets, it automatically switches to Carpet Boost where the motor delivers 10* more air power. In this mode, the suction power is boosted to around 1,700Pa compared to 1000Pa in eco mode.
If you have a carpet, whether light pile or heavy pile, you should not settle for anything lesser than the Roomba 980. So, in as much as you don't have a carpet right now, you never know what the future holds; get the Roomba 980 and be guaranteed all-round cleaning.
The runtime of a robot vacuum cleaner is a very crucial aspect, Roombas are no exception. Among the advantages of the Roomba 980 over the Roomba 960 is the fact that the former has a longer runtime. That said, you want to buy the Roomba 980 if you have a large apartment to guarantee you complete cleaning cycles with every charge.
I know the Roomba 960 sounds like a great deal now that it also has the resume function. But then, it takes about 2-3 hours to recharge; that is quite a long time to wait, and your guests might arrive before the Roomba recharges and completes cleaning.
From the technical specifications, Roomba 980 can run for an average of 120 minutes. On the other hand, the Roomba 960 can run for an average of 75 minutes. The explanation for this is that the expensive Roomba 980 has been equipped with a 3,300mAh Li-Ion battery that will run for a longer time than its counterpart, a 2,600mAh Li-Ion battery.
Another thing that contributes to Roomba's longer runtime is the efficiency of the Gen 3 motor. Though it doesn't wholly attribute to the huge difference, it plays a crucial part.
But still, you will realize that these runtimes may vary depending on the surface the Roomba is cleaning. The condition of the robot vacuum also determines runtime.
Advanced Cleaning Settings
As we all know, the latest Roomba models come with Wi-Fi for Smartphone operation. But one mistake most buyers make is to assume that both the Roomba 960 and 980 have the same App features. Yes, they share the essential characteristics, but the Roomba 980 has advanced cleaning settings, a feature Roomba 960 lacks.
Though many people argue that this feature is hardly used, it is something that you probably don't want to miss out on. I've always held the opinion that, you'd rather have something and not need it than need it when you don't have it.
Advanced Cleaning Settings is a feature you can access on the Smartphone App. It allows you to program the Roomba 980 further to execute more complex cleaning tasks. For example, you can set the Cleaning passes from one to two or more depending on the mess you are dealing with.
From the latest developments, we know that Roomba is scheduling for several Wireless updates, so we expect this feature to be included in the Roomba 960 as well. However, this remains a speculation, and as it stands, the Roomba 960 doesn't have this unique feature.
So far so good, Virtual Walls has been a success, and this boundary marking feature is supported by both Roomba 960 and Roomba 980. But then, to get the most out of these little boundary markers, you need to have more than one Virtual Walls node.
I like Roomba 980 because iRobot included two Virtual Walls nodes in the package. On the other hand, the Roomba 960 comes with only one node. For starters, a single Virtual Wall barrier will cost you an average of $40. That said, you want to save your wallet from the extra cost of buying another node.
These are the main differences between the Roomba 960 and Roomba 980. But of course, there are several other differences, for example, design, and aesthetics. However, these are non-issues as they don't have any meaningful impact on the performance of the vacuum cleaner.
Having seen the advantages of the Roomba 980, one would want to ask, is the Roomba 960 any good? What I will tell you is that the Roomba 960 is not a bad deal after all. It is just that bigger brother has more features. When you weigh between the money value of the features against the price difference, the Roomba 980 wins.
But what if you are on a budget? This is where the Roomba 960 comes in as it cost a few hundred pounds lesser than the Roomba 980. Even though there are a few features it misses out on, there are several key features worth mentioning.
The first thing I appreciate Roomba 960 for having is the iAdapt 2.0 VSLAM navigation that the Roomba 980 also has. Remember, this is among the features that make the Roomba 980 the best. Another thing worth noting is the auto-resume function that covers for the shorter runtime. Many vacuum cleaners lack the resume function so Roomba 960 scores highly here. Other features it shares with Roomba 980 include HEPA filters, Dirt Detect Series II, voice control and integration among others.
If you ask many homeowners, they would instead get Roomba 960 and save the few hundred pounds for a robot mop now that Roombas offer vacuum only. But unknown to many, the Roomba 980 has a better features to price ratio. Yes, you want an affordable vacuum cleaner but then, let not the slight price difference make you miss out on the significant features the Roomba 980 offers.
To bring out this picture vividly, look at where each of the two Roombas is best suited for. Roomba 960 will work on hard floors, and clean pet hair and allergens. But when it comes to carpets, it gets overwhelmed. On the other hand, Roomba 980 will clean all hard floors, carpets, pet hair and allergens making it the best all round cleaner. I think that settles the case on why you should buy Roomba 980 and not Roomba 960.

Here's who Drew Barrymore would pick to portray her in a biopic
September 30, 2022 by Mark K.
Actor and talk show host Drew Barrymore has had a turbulent but ultimately triumphant journey through Hollywood. The 'Never Been Kissed' star started acting before she was 1 when she starred in a Puppy Choice dog food commercial, according to Biography. As Barrymore's fame began to soar with starring roles in blockbusters like ET: The Extraterrestrial, the young star was thrust into adult-themed scenarios. After spending time at Hollywood parties and nightclubs, Barrymore entered a mental hospital at age 13 to be treated for drug and alcohol addiction.
In an interview with The Mail on Sunday's You in 2021, Barrymore said her mother Jaid forced her to attend the facility. This resulted in her life changing. "My mom took me there because she couldn't handle me anymore, but it was the best thing that's happened to me," Barrymore said (via the Daily Mail). "It taught me boundaries. Up to that point, I didn't have any." Since that experience, Barrymore has blossomed with continued professional success. With projects like Charlie's Angels, Santa Clarita Diet and more, Barrymore has cemented her status as an A-list star. Her story could make an interesting biopic, and Barrymore has an idea who could play her in a movie about her fascinating life.
If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, help is available. Visit the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration website or contact the SAMHSA National Helpline at 1-800-662-HELP (4357).
Drew Barrymore wants Joey King to be in a movie about her life
If Drew Barrymore's life story ever becomes a biopic, the actor and talk show host already has an actor in mind for the lead role. Barrymore revealed this actor in a TikTok video she posted on Aug. 17. The clip shows Barrymore taking part in a TikTok trend consisting of very fast flashing photos of public figures suitable for various questions. Barrymore identified celebs by labels such as "best co-star kisser," who he said is ET, and her "most surprising celebrity interview," Machine Gun Kelly. Then Barrymore spoke "who should play [her] in a biopic," for which she revealed a photo of actor Joey King.

Additionally, Barrymore featured King's picture when asked about a "surprising celebrity in." [her] phone contacts. In February, Barrymore and King met to discuss "The Drew Barrymore Show." "Oh my god, this is what I've been waiting for," Barrymore said when King sat down to chat with her, describing herself as "such an over-fan" of King's work. Both the personal and professional experiences of the "Kissing Booth" stars would make King a great option to direct a Barrymore biopic.
Drew Barrymore and Joey King share a connection
Drew Barrymore's choice to play her in a potential biopic, Joey King, would be a perfect choice for the role. For one, Barrymore and King both grew up in the public eye from a young age. Barrymore began acting when she was under 1, while King got her start in a Life Cereal commercial when she was 4, according to IMDb. As these two performers matured, they became the stars of some pretty epic rom-coms. While Barrymore has starred in films like Fever Pitch, Never Been Kissed, and 50 First Dates, King has starred in The Kissing Booth franchise and will star in an upcoming Netflix rom-com Zac Efron and Nicole Kidman, The Hollywood Reporter revealed in June.
Aside from having similar career paths, Barrymore and King appear to share a personal connection that would serve King well in playing Barrymore. After visiting "The Drew Barrymore Show" in February, King took to social media to express her joy at meeting Barrymore. "I'm in love with @drewbarrymore and I don't care who knows," King wrote on Instagram, alongside photos of her and Barrymore balling and laughing on set. Let's hope these two talented performers make this biopic concept a reality soon!

Fantasy Wargaming is a role-playing game published by Patrick Stephens Limited (U.K.) in 1981.

Description
Fantasy Wargaming is a fantasy system set in medieval Europe. The first half of the book introduces role-playing concepts and describes medieval Europe's history, economy, religion, magic, etc. The latter half contains the game rules, covering character creation (flavored by astrology), social class, combat (where PC behavior and morale is often controlled by the dice), large scale combat, magic (based on actual medieval concepts), clerics and divine power, and monsters.

Publication history
Fantasy Wargaming was edited by Bruce Galloway and published by Patrick Stephens Limited in 1981 as a 222-page hardcover. A second edition was published by Stein & Day in 1982. A third edition was published by Doubleday Book Club in 1982 as a 300-page digest-sized hardcover. It should not be confused with Fantasy Wargaming by Martin Hackett, which was published in 1990 by Patrick Stephens Limited.

Reception
W.G. Armintrout reviewed Fantasy Wargaming in The Space Gamer No. 56. Armintrout commented that "I've never seen a worse game. It's too bad that many people's first experience with FRP may be through buying Fantasy Wargaming through the Science Fiction Book Club."

In addition to that, Lawrence Schick has found the game rules of Fantasy Wargaming to be "rather complex" and the magic system "quite complicated".

So the question is color or black & white?
The choice is up to you the photographer but many times processing your image in Black & White can bring out the subject and more detail. Removing color can also remove distractions which may take away attention from the main subject in your photo.
So what the heck try it both ways and see which you prefer.
Here is an example of the same photo but one was color processed and the other Black & White processed.

If you are building a house of your own, then congratulations are definitely in order! It is not an easy feat, and it is not something everyone gets to do, so you are lucky. That said, there is much for you to consider, from the exterior to interior, design,and structure. And a critical part of all this is the flooring, which is where a lot of people tend to get confused with. Here, we are going to be looking at wooden flooring, and how it can be beneficial to you and your home. These are actually also some of the reasons why it is popular, so go on and have a look for yourself.
Nowadays with our busy lifestyles, we do not have the time of day to clean throughout. Naturally, we look at alternate options that make our lives easier in terms of maintenance. As it turns out, hardwood floors are easy to clean. You just need to sweep/vacuum and mop them, and you are good to go. Every so often you will have to sandpaper and polish them, but once this is done, you need not worry about it again for some time.
Many mistakenly assume that hardwood does not have variety or options, but they are wrong. In fact, hardwood comes in so many lovely variations to suit any modern home today. Whether you are looking for Timber flooring Melbourne or something else, you can ask for all the wood selections so you can make an informed decision. Different woods have different patterns and wood grades, so it helps to research and educate yourself about them as much as possible so you know what to expect and what is best for you.
Yes, hardwood flooring is indeed an investment. This is because homes with hardwood floors tend to sell easier, and are more favoured by people. They also add value to homes effortlessly. Their sophisticated nature, grace and class are some of the traits that make them so well loved and in high demand. Mind you though, there are two main kinds, hardwood and laminate, so which one you go for is entirely up to you. Best you speak to a flooring professional before you decide which to go for.
The other quality of hardwood floors is that they are timeless. You can have them adorning your home for a hundred years to come, and even future generations would admire them. This is of course assuming that you have taken good care of the floors throughout. Wood needs maintenance, though not too much so do not neglect this. Else, it will deteriorate and they do not exactly come cheap so it would be a colossal waste. You will also immediately notice the difference when you walk into a building with a hardwood floor and one that does not. The timeless element is quite obvious and stark, which should show you just how much of an impact wooden floors can have.

It is necessary to agree upon standards of expected ethical behavior for all parties involved in the act of publishing: the author, the journal editor, the peer reviewer and the publisher. Our ethic statements are based on COPE's Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors.
Accountability: The editor of a peer-reviewed journal is responsible for deciding which articles submitted to the journal should be published, and, moreover, is accountable for everything published in the journal. In making these decisions, the editor may be guided by the policies of the journal's editorial board as well as by legal requirements regarding libel, copyright infringement and plagiarism. The editor may confer with other editors or reviewers when making publication decisions. The editor should maintain the integrity of the academic record, preclude business needs from compromising intellectual and ethical standards, and always be willing to publish corrections, clarifications, retractions and apologies when needed.
Involvement and cooperation in investigations: Editors should guard the integrity of the published record by issuing corrections and retractions when needed and pursuing suspected or alleged research and publication misconduct. Editors should pursue reviewer and editorial misconduct. An editor should take reasonably responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.
Publication decisions: The editor of the journal is responsible for deciding which of the articles submitted to the journal should be published. The editor may be guided by the policies of the journal's editorial board and constrained by such legal requirements as shall then be in force regarding libel, copyright infringement and plagiarism. The editor may confer with other editors or reviewers in making this decision.
Fair play: The editor should evaluate manuscripts for intellectual content without regard to race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy of the author(s). The editor will not disclose any information about a manuscript under consideration to anyone other than the author(s), reviewers and potential reviewers, and in some instances the editorial board members, as appropriate.
Confidentiality: The editor and any editorial staff must not disclose any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, potential reviewers, other editorial advisers, and the publisher, as appropriate.
Disclosure and conflicts of interest: The editor will be guided by COPE's Guidelines for Retracting Articles when considering retracting, issuing expressions of concern about, and issuing corrections pertaining to articles that have been published in our journal. Unpublished materials disclosed in a submitted manuscript must not be used in an editor's own research without the express written consent of the author. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. The editor is committed to ensuring that advertising, reprint or other commercial revenue has no impact or influence on editorial decisions. The editor should seek so ensure a fair and appropriate peer review process. Editors should recuse themselves (i.e. should ask a co-editor, associate editor or other member of the editorial board instead to review and consider) from considering manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or (possibly) institutions connected to the papers. Editors should require all contributors to disclose relevant competing interests and publish corrections if competing interests are revealed after publication. If needed, other appropriate action should be taken, such as the publication of a retraction or expression of concern.
Duties of Reviewers
Contribution to editorial decisions: Peer review assists the editor in making editorial decisions and through the editorial communications with the author may also assist the author in improving the paper.
Promptness: Any invited referee who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its timely review will be impossible should immediately notify the editor so that alternative reviewers can be contacted.
Confidentiality: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. They must not be shown to or discussed with others except as authorized by the editor.
Standards of objectivity: Reviews should be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. Referees should express their views clearly with supporting arguments.
Acknowledgement of sources: Reviewers should identify relevant published work that has not been cited by the authors. Any statement that an observation, derivation, or argument had been previously reported should be accompanied by the relevant citation. A reviewer should also call to the editor's attention any substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscript under consideration and any other published paper of which they have personal knowledge.
Disclosure and conflict of interest: Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should not consider evaluating manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the submission.
Duties of Authors
Reporting standards: Authors of reports of original research should present an accurate account of the work performed as well as an objective discussion of its significance. Underlying data should be represented accurately in the paper. A paper should contain sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the work. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable.
Data access and retention: Authors are asked to provide the raw data in connection with a paper for editorial review, and should be prepared to provide public access to such data (consistent with the ALPSP-STM Statement on Data and Databases), if practicable, and should in any event be prepared to retain such data for a reasonable time after publication.
Originality and plagiarism: The authors should ensure that they have written entirely original works, and if the authors have used the work and/or words of others that this has been appropriately cited or quoted.
Multiple, redundant or concurrent publication: An author should not in general publish manuscripts describing essentially the same research in more than one journal or primary publication.

What's in a Name? A Big Bowl of Disappointment
WarnerMedia's latest streaming service is (sigh) HBO Max
Maybe unlike you I was hoping that WarnerMedia would tear the cover off the ball in naming its latest streaming channel -- to be launched in November -- a service that AT&T Communications chief John Donovan told the investment community last month would change the way you look at TV forever. I was hoping for something big, bold, outside of the box. Instead I got…. HBO Max.
Now, no disparagement to the teeming multitudes of branding experts that no doubt struggled to come up with a moniker that would stand out among the ever growing number of over-the-top services from AT&T. There's DirecTVNow, the OTT version of DirecTV. Then there is HBO Now, the OTT version of HBO. And don't forget HBO Go, the online version of HBO for HBO's linear subscribers. And then there is AT&T Watch TV, the streaming service available to AT&T wireless customers with unlimited data plans that sounds more like a command than a brand.
I know a lot goes into naming a brand. You have to take thousands of things into consideration, like how the name resonates with people, how they identify the new brand with existing brands, whether the brand means something entirely different in another language and whatnot. I'm by no means a branding or marketing expert -- and I am sure several such experts will point that out as they tell me to keep my opinions to myself. But is there any harm in hoping for a name that would have broken from the pack? HBO Max? Really?
BTIG media analyst Richard Greenfield tweeted July 9, the day the new name was revealed, that HBO Max isn't even that unique. It's the same name WarnerMedia gave its combined HBO and Cinemax service in Latin America.
I guess it could have been worse -- they could have named it HBO +. That little dingbat proved to be very popular in the streaming video arena this year -- Disney, which launched its ESPN + streaming sports service last year, is slated to launch its entertainment streaming offering Disney + in November, followed by Apple's Apple TV +. HBO + wouldn't have been much of a stretch.
And when I think back to other big recent branding efforts in the media business, there have arguably been more hits than misses. Sling TV, in my opinion, is a great name -- it always helps when a brand name is a noun, a subject and a verb, because then you can create an entire sentence like "Sling sling in a sling with a sling," and be kind of grammatically correct.
Qube was a great name although the product was way ahead of its time. I never liked Verizon initially -- I was perfectly fine with Bell Atlantic -- but it grew on me over the years. And I really hated XFinity when Comcast launched it almost a decade ago, but it has proven to be one of the better branding decisions the cable industry ever made. And it has definitely grown on me too.
Part of me believes that whatever the name, the quality of the product will win out in the long run. But then there is part of me that remembers that scene in Hudsucker Proxy, when Norville Barnes, played by the great Tim Robbins, shows a co-worker the invention that is finally going to get him out of the mailroom, a perfect circle drawn on a blank sheet of paper.
"You know, for kids," he says matter-of-factly.
That little drawing becomes the Hula Hoop and for a bit becomes the most popular toy for kids. But I think it would have had a much different fate if it was named "Circle Max, For Kids." And even with a great name like Hula Hoop, the Hula Hoop didn't occupy that spot for long. Sure, they still sell them, but it's nothing like it used to be.
So maybe I should just shut up about HBO Max. As long as the content is strong and the price is competitive, it should do just fine. But that doesn't stop me from wishing, and here are a few names I wish WarnerMedia considered.
HBOhno: Think of the promotional opportunities -- it could be marketed as the swift, slippery, on-the-edge streaming TV service, with none other than eight-time Olympic speed skating medalist Apolo Anton Ohno as its spokesman.
HBOff: The kids today like speed, and if Apolo Anton Ohno isn't available, our marketing department is prepared. (The ff is for fast-forward).
HBOdelay: This streaming service, named for an album by seminal rapper Beck, is no Loser, baby. But it does have a Devil's Haircut.
HBOld: Let's face it, the senior set is the demo with all the money. And since HBO doesn't have any advertising, (not so sure about the other content) who needs millennials? Let the brand name reflect the audience the product is targeting.
HBOwe: At $17.99 per month -- what some pundits are predicting will be the price-point for the service -- WarnerMedia's streaming offering will be more than double the $6.99 monthly charge for Disney+. Add that to all the other streaming services the youngsters already subscribe to -- Netflix ($15), Hulu ($11.99 for no commercials) and Amazon Prime ($12.99) -- and you almost have a full-blown linear cable subscription.
HBOle: Realizing HBO Max is the name of its Latin American counterpart, WarnerMedia decides to go in the other direction, using a popular soccer chant made popular in part by a staple of WarnerMedia's other programming network TBS -- The Replacements.
HBOMG: You know, for kids.
HBOderus Urungus: Named for the deceased lead singer, guitarist and bassist for heavy metal band GWAR, HBOderus Urungus is on the cutting edge of intergalactic barbarian content.
StankeyVision: In keeping with the time-honored tradition in the media business of naming products after their creators, HBO introduces a streaming service for the ages named after WarnerMedia CEO John Stankey.

One of my favorite designers, Celso Gomes has just launched, "Nibbles: Snack tutorials for hungry designers". Eventually it will include WPF samples but for now, is focused on Silverlight! Not a designer you say? You should still check out his samples. Celso is an incredibly gifted designer and inviting others to submit. He has a blog set up too for feedback and updates. Nibble away.


Investors interested in stocks from the Financial - Savings and Loan sector have probably already heard of Banner (BANR) and Northwest Bancshares (NWBI). But which of these two companies is the best option for those looking for undervalued stocks? Let's take a closer look.
Banner has a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy), while Northwest Bancshares has a Zacks Rank of #4 (Sell) right now. The Zacks Rank favors stocks that have recently seen positive revisions to their earnings estimates, so investors should rest assured that BANR has an improving earnings outlook. However, value investors will care about much more than just this.
BANR currently has a forward P/E ratio of 12.66, while NWBI has a forward P/E of 16.87. We also note that BANR has a PEG ratio of 1.81. This popular metric is similar to the widely-known P/E ratio, with the difference being that the PEG ratio also takes into account the company's expected earnings growth rate. NWBI currently has a PEG ratio of 2.41.
Another notable valuation metric for BANR is its P/B ratio of 1.20. The P/B ratio is used to compare a stock's market value with its book value, which is defined as total assets minus total liabilities. For comparison, NWBI has a P/B of 1.47.
These are just a few of the metrics contributing to BANR's Value grade of B and NWBI's Value grade of D.
BANR sticks out from NWBI in both our Zacks Rank and Style Scores models, so value investors will likely feel that BANR is the better option right now.

Fig. 1. Thermal camera miniaturization.
Compact, low-power thermal sensors will be embedded in many IoT applications including smart appliances, thermostats and other distributed environmental control systems as well as presence detection and elder care monitoring. Each IoT application will use cloud computing and most will enable remote/mobile notifications. Low-cost thermal imagers can be used to detect fire and or floods and sensor arrays will become key enablers of increased energy efficiency by allowing building and outdoor lighting to be adjusted based on the presence of people and further by allowing optimized and localized climate control. Energy will be allocated to lighting and heating dynamically on an as- needed basis. In elder care applications, compact thermal imagers allow for activity, presence and fall detection in critical and hazardous areas such as bathrooms while preserving privacy with their low spatial resolution.
Fig. 2. Applications for thermal imagers in a smart-home.
Thermal imaging is uniquely suited to assist in optimizing the tradeoffs between the need for low power, edge detection and computation and data transmission to the cloud. Next, initial edge processing can be performed to classify the event as either a false alarm or a significant event which triggers more sensors such as visible cameras in the edge device to power on and the transmission of video data to the cloud for further processing. For IoT thermal devices, cloud computing offers the possibility of maintaining low local power dissipation, small installed footprint and low cost. The device does not require the cost of an expensive processor while still accessing the functionality of high-end algorithms.

KRABI: Police in Ao Nang recovered two devices yesterday that they suspect were part of the incendiary bombs used to set fire to a souvenir shop in the tourist destination on August 12.
Forensic Police Region 8 Colonel Surapol Jaisan said Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD) personnel assisted in examining the wreckage of the Ao Nang shop for evidence linking the August 12 fire to a series of bombings across southern Thailand on Mother's Day (story here).
Col Surapol said the EOD team investigated the scene for about five hours before discovering the two badly-burned suspicious objects in the shop's pant and shirt section. The devices include the circuit board of a mobile phone, a battery, wires and metal fragments. Devices used in the attacks that left four dead and injured over 30 across Thailand's south earlier this month reportedly utilized mobile phones as explosive controllers.
Police reported that evidence suggests that the first incendiary device set fire to the pants section. However, a second device in a shirts section of the store did not appear to have detonated, but was damaged in the resulting fire.
Col Surapol said police are continuing to investigate the crime scene and are examining local CCTV footage for the two suspects.

More U.S. collegians are spending at least a semester overseas, but American students aren't nearly as global-minded as peers in other nations, six facts from an international exchange report shows.
More American college students than ever before choose to study abroad. Still, American students aren't nearly as global-minded as their peers from other countries.
Here are six figures from the the newly released annual Open Doors Report on International Educational Exchange that break this down.
1. 283,000 - The record number of students the United States sent abroad last academic year, an increase of about 3 percent.
2. 820,000 - The approximate number of foreign students who studied in the United States last year. China alone sends nearly as many students to the United States as we send abroad at all. And those who come to study here often stay for a full academic year.
3. $24 billion - The amount of money, according to the U.S. Commerce Department, that foreign students have injected into the U.S. economy. They also give to the country in less quantifiable ways by providing new and global perspectives at campuses across the United States.
4. 15,000 - The approximate number of students we send to China, the world's fastest-growing economy, each year. U.S. students pursue the study abroad experience a little differently than their global peers. The United Kingdom is by far the most popular destination, followed by Italy, Spain and France. Not exactly up-and-coming economic or political powerhouses. And the Middle East, where the United States remains deeply embroiled? We send a mere handful to study there.
5. 90 percent - The percentage of American college students who do not study abroad at all.
While these figures might appear dismal, we seem to be headed in the right direction. The number of American students going abroad has more than tripled in the past two decades and the uptick is likely to continue.
According to those behind the report — the Institute of International Education and the State Department's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs — the study abroad experience is more valuable than ever.
"The careers of all of our students will be global ones, in which they will need to function effectively in multi-national teams," IIE President Allan Goodman said in a statement. "They will need to understand the cultural differences and historical experiences that divide us, as well as the common values and humanity that unite us."
