America's mental health moment is finally here
There's a mental health moment in America, and athletes are leading the way.

On Tuesday, Simone Biles did something revolutionary: She walked away.
"I have to focus on my mental health and not jeopardize my health and well-being," Biles explained when she pulled out of the women's team gymnastics final at the Tokyo Olympics. It was a move that surprised fans who had expected the 24-year-old gymnast, widely regarded as the greatest of all time, to lead her team to the gold.
Biles's decision is part of a larger cultural moment. In recent months, multiple high-profile athletes — many of them young Black women — have been open about prioritizing their mental health over someone else's definition of success. Before Biles, the most prominent was tennis star Naomi Osaka, who stepped away from press conferences and then from tournaments earlier this year out of a need to protect her mental health. "It's O.K. to not be O.K., and it's O.K. to talk about it," she wrote in a July essay at Time explaining the move.

Athletes like sprinter Noah Lyle and swimmer Simone Manuel have also spoken publicly about mental health treatment or challenges. So have other public figures like Meghan Markle, who said in an Oprah interview earlier this year that she experienced suicidal thoughts as a result of media scrutiny but was told by the royal family that she couldn't seek help.
And it's not just famous people who are done staying silent. Record numbers of workers from retail to restaurants to offices have left their jobs this year, often citing mental health as a factor. In one 2020 survey, 80 percent of workers said they would consider quitting for a role that offered better support for mental well-being.
Some of this new drive to be proactive, and public, about psychological wellness may be a generational shift. Generation Z — the cohort born after 1996 — "is more open than prior generations to both seeking mental health care and disclosing their experiences," psychologist B. Janet Hibbs told Vox in an email. Some of it may also stem from the pandemic, a time that inspired many Americans to reevaluate their lives and focus on what was really important to them. The events of the past year and a half "allowed people to sit with themselves" and "assess how to make things right in a way that is true to them and not just please everyone else," Elyse Fox, founder of the mental health nonprofit Sad Girls Club, told Vox.
Whatever the cause, it's become more mainstream in recent months to prioritize self-care rather than self-denial. For decades, Americans have been laboring under a play-through-the-pain mentality — "there's this overall sort of ethic in our society around grinning and bearing it, taking it on the chin," Michael A. Lindsey, the executive director of the NYU McSilver Institute for Poverty Policy and Research, who also studies mental health, told Vox. But in recent months, more and more people have hit their breaking point and are committing to caring for themselves — even if it means stepping away from something as big as the Olympics or the Grand Slam. For Biles and Osaka, "although this was a move for themselves, it's also a step for the entire world," Fox said.
Gen Z is taking a lead on mental health
America asks a lot of its athletes. They train, often from very young ages, at sports that risk their health and sometimes their very lives — just prior to the Olympics, Biles completed a vault so dangerous that no other female gymnast had even tried it. They endure constant pressure to win, and constant scrutiny when they falter, even for a moment. They also have to show up at press conferences and be personable and relatable, all while holding themselves to a different standard of behavior than ordinary people — by, for example, never smoking marijuana. During the pandemic, they've also had to travel without family and friends and submit to a life in a series of isolated bubbles, making a difficult situation all the more stressful.

And the requirements for Black female athletes, historically, have been even more taxing, with players like Serena Williams subjected to endless body-shaming, racism, and disparate treatment by sports' governing bodies. These athletes are still expected to be stand-ins for American greatness on a world stage, even when America — from sporting officials to the media — has often been far from great to them. Such factors make it all the more remarkable — or perhaps all the more overdue — that Black female athletes have been some of the first to stand up on a national stage and say: enough.
In many ways, Osaka jump-started the current national conversation around mental health when she announced in May that she would not participate in mandatory press conferences ahead of the French Open. She later withdrew from the tournament, explaining that "I am not a natural public speaker and get huge waves of anxiety before I speak to the world's media" and that she had faced "long bouts of depression" since 2018. In order to care for herself, she said, "I'm gonna take some time away from the court now, but when the time is right, I really want to work with the Tour to discuss ways we can make things better for the players, press, and fans."
While she faced some criticism, she was also met with an outpouring of support, with experts, commentators, and even corporate sponsors praising her honesty. Other athletes have spoken out about mental health in recent months, too, from Lyle, who described taking antidepressants as "one of the best decisions I have made in a while," to Manuel, who missed three weeks of training earlier this year due to overtraining syndrome, which can cause fatigue and depression. Meanwhile, sprinter Sha'Carri Richardson, who was suspended in June after testing positive for marijuana, said she'd used it to cope with grief after her biological mother's death. "It sent me into a state of emotional panic," she said in an NBC interview, "I didn't know how to control my emotions or deal with my emotions during that time."

Then came Biles, who withdrew from the team final and from the individual all-around competition in Tokyo this week. "This Olympic Games, I wanted it to be for myself when I came in — and I felt like I was still doing it for other people," she told reporters. "At the end of the day, we're human too so we have to protect our mind and our body rather than just go out there and do what the world wants us to do."
The movement among athletes to prioritize caring for their health above competing at all costs — and to share their mental health challenges openly — is emblematic of something bigger, many say. Between athletes like Osaka and Biles and ordinary Americans on social media, we're seeing "more people speaking openly about mental health issues and how they're impacting their work," Betty Lai, a professor of counseling, developmental, and educational psychology at Boston College, told Vox.
Most visibly, that change is being driven by Black women in their 20s or younger — Osaka, Biles, Manuel, and Richardson are all under 25. "Black women have always had a sort of leading presence" when it comes to social change "in a way that they have not been historically given credit for," Lindsey said. The young Olympians speaking out today about their need to care for themselves are "yet another example of how Black women are leading."
It's also not surprising that young people are at the forefront of a mental health revolution, since they appear more adept than their elders at recognizing mental health problems. Members of Gen Z in general report worse mental health than their elders, with just 45 percent saying their mental well-being was good or very good in a 2019 survey, compared with 56 percent of millennials. The pandemic has also taken an outsize toll on young people, with 62.9 percent of 18- to 24-year-olds reporting symptoms of anxiety or depression in a 2020 CDC survey, the highest of any age group.
Recently I decided to get on antidepressant medication. That was one of the best decisions I have made in a while. Since then I have been able to think with out the dark undertone in mind of nothing matters.
Thank you God for mental Health
— Noah Lyles, OLY (@LylesNoah) August 2, 2020
At the same time, people in Gen Z are also more likely than their elders to seek help for mental health problems, with 37 percent saying they had gotten therapy or other professional treatment in a 2019 survey, compared with 35 percent of millennials, 26 percent of Gen-Xers, and 22 percent of boomers.
This is likely because Gen-Zers have been exposed to more outreach on mental health by colleges and universities, as well as more awareness of these issues among parents, than older generations, Hibbs said. "They've been encouraged to talk about their feelings more," she added. "There's much more self-awareness of what's going on for you."
Peers and social media likely play a role, too — mental health has emerged as a popular topic on TikTok, for example, where professionals and ordinary people share experiences and advice. "I learn so much through TikTok," said Fox, who launched Sad Girls Club as a way to provide mental health resources to underserved communities, especially women of color and young people. The rise of mobile therapy options like Talkspace may also have helped, allowing young people to get help on their phones without going into an office.
Overall, among younger Americans, "everyone's kind of awakened" when it comes to mental health issues, Fox said. "It's like, 'We know this exists. Why are we living like this? We can't live like this anymore.'"
The pandemic has brought mental health challenges — but also raised awareness
In addition to the influence of high-profile people, the pandemic has sparked a larger interest in mental health across society. In her work with school administrators on supporting students during this time, for example, Lai has noticed that "talking about mental health has really been at the forefront of people's minds."
"More people are raising these issues and are raising them earlier," Lai explained. "Ten years ago, we really had to make the case that we should be thinking about mental health outcomes for kids after disasters." Today, it's more of a given.
And that awareness around mental health extends to adults as well, with more people recognizing the importance of caring for themselves during a time that has been traumatic for so many. The pandemic has led many people to reevaluate their lives, which can include prioritizing what's best for themselves rather than living up to external demands. For some, that can extend to walking away from a job, with many of those quitting as part of the so-called Great Resignation doing so at least in part for their psychological well-being. Twenty-one-year-old Stephanie Becker, for example, told CNBC in June that she left her job at a dog boarding facility after the stress started to make her physically ill. "If [work] is affecting you so much, it's not worth working yourself so hard and not feeling good that you aren't able to enjoy yourself at home," she said.
America took Simone Biles for granted
"This past year was definitely the hardest for so many people, but what's coming out of it is very beautiful" when it comes to "the voices that are speaking up in support of mental health and taking time," Fox said.
"I don't want to be a gymnast," she added, "but I'm also very inspired by someone actually ditching the biggest game or the biggest thing in their career to focus on their mental health."
America has a long way to go to support people
Biles's stepping away is especially inspirational since the stigma around mental health still prevents too many Americans from getting help. "The person who is 'experiencing a mental health problem' is sort of cast aside or thought to be different," Lindsey said, when "the reality is, we all are struggling with mental health issues and challenges in our lives." Black Americans can experience disproportionate stigma around getting help for mental illness, which may help contribute to the fact that just one in three Black people experiencing mental health problems ever get appropriate treatment. Men can also feel stigma around mental health issues, making them less likely than women to get help.
But even if Americans are ready to prioritize mental health, it does not mean they will come by support easily. As of 2019, 14.5 percent of non-elderly Americans lacked health insurance, and that number has likely risen during the pandemic. Black, Latinx, and Indigenous Americans are disproportionately likely to lack health insurance, as are young adults, making it especially hard for many people in these groups to get treatment for mental health needs.
Even with insurance, therapy can be unaffordable and therapists difficult to find. Moreover, the country needs more culturally competent therapists who understand the needs of people from historically marginalized groups, from Black Americans to LGBTQIA people, Lindsey said. Without such competence, therapy can end up "creating an experience whereby someone feels further villainized or marginalized because of how they identify."

Meanwhile, companies aren't always understanding about their employees' psychological well-being. "I've done a lot of consulting with brands and companies" whose employees' mental health is suffering — "but then they have a full-on campaign on World Mental Health Day," Fox said. It's not enough just to talk about the issue on corporate social media channels. Companies need to let workers know that "there are no repercussions if you need a mental health break," Fox said. That's especially important since many workers today say they don't feel comfortable asking for a mental health day.
And if people do decide to leave a job to care for their psychological well-being, there's not always a safety net to help them. With health insurance tied to a job, many Americans risk losing access to therapy if they quit. Many say that bigger systemic changes, such as a universal basic income and universal health care, are needed to truly decouple people's well-being from their jobs.
These are big asks for a country more accustomed to telling people to pull themselves up by their bootstraps no matter how bad they're feeling. But the time may be ripe for a revolution in American mental health and greater well-being — and the generation represented by Biles and Osaka may be the best one to push for it. Young people today have "a more balanced ability to use the leverage of their generation to ask for changes," Hibbs said, "and I think that will be healthier for an entire generation."

Tomb WV22, also known as KV22, was the burial place of the Eighteenth Dynasty pharaoh Amenhotep III. Located in the Western arm of the Valley of the Kings, the tomb is unique in that it has two subsidiary burial chambers for the pharaoh's wives Tiye and Sitamen (who was also his daughter). It was officially discovered by Prosper Jollois and Édouard de Villiers du Terrage, engineers with Napoleon's expedition to Egypt in August 1799, but had probably been open for some time. The tomb was first excavated by Theodore M. Davis, the details of which are lost. The first documented clearance was carried out by Howard Carter in 1915. Since 1989, a Japanese team from Waseda University led by Sakuji Yoshimura and Jiro Kondo has excavated and conserved the tomb. The sarcophagus is missing from the tomb. The tomb's layout and decoration follow the tombs of the king's predecessors, Amenhotep II (KV35) and Thutmose IV (KV43); however, the decoration is much finer in quality. Several images of the pharaoh's head have been cut out and can be seen today in the Louvre.

Location and discovery
The tomb is situated in a bay on the east side of the wadi,  from the entrance to the Western Valley. Unlike earlier tombs, it is not cut into the solid rock at the cliff base but in the talus slope away from it.  south of the tomb is WVA which, based on jar sealings and the types of pottery found there, likely functioned as a storeroom for overflow from WV22.

The tomb was first noted in August 1799 by Édouard de Villiers du Terrage and Prosper Jollois, engineers in Napoleon's expedition; it is possible it was known to the traveler William George Browne several years earlier. They mapped the tomb and made drawings of some of the artefacts (ushabti) found which were published in Description de l'Egypte. The tomb was visited in 1804 by a John Gordon who carved his name at the entrance. Jean-François Champollion and L'Hôte visited in 1829, leaving graffiti to that effect in chamber I; Champollion was the first to identify the owner of the tomb as Amenhotep III. Karl Richard Lepsius visited in the mid-nineteenth century and copied parts of the Amduat in the burial chamber. The tomb was visited by countless tourists during the nineteenth century, many of whom carried off souvenirs of their visit; at some point several portraits of the king were cut from the walls and are now in the Louvre.

Layout

The tomb is  long and generally follows the same layout as KV43, the tomb of Amenhotep's father Thutmose IV, although it does exhibit some changes to this basic design.

The layout consists of two descending corridors separated by stairs, leading to a well chamber, the shaft of which is  deep. A well chamber opens to the west from the base of the shaft. The room seems to have been expanded to the west as the chisel marks in this section are different to those elsewhere in the chamber. On the other side of the well chamber a pillared hall leads to another descending passageway and stair. Uniquely there is no doorway separating these elements. The passage was likely planned to be the same scale as its equivalent in KV43 but was altered during construction. This made the angle of the steps steep, resulting in chiseling above the doorway to the antechamber, likely to allow passage of the sarcophagus.

The square antechamber leads onto the pillared burial chamber with sarcophagus emplacement; a rectangular pit, likely for the king's canopic equipment, is present at the southern end of the chamber. There are three small side rooms leading off the burial chamber and two larger chambers with a single pillar; each has an additional side chamber. One of these suites seems to have always been intended for the burial of a queen, while the other seems to have been a fourth side chamber and only enlarged after the fact, based on chisel marks and the position of the magical niches. The expansion is presumably due to Sitamun's elevation of Great Royal Wife late in Amenhotep III's reign. This situation is paralleled at Malkata, where Sitamun's rooms were squeezed in between those of her parents.

The burial chamber itself has eleven magical niches, five of which are cut into the walls and columns surrounding the sarcophagus emplacement. Two of the niches were found with half of a wood panel that originally sealed them still in place. They would have contained protective figures similar to those discovered in the tomb of Tutankhamun.

Excavations
The first excavation of the tomb was carried out on behalf of Theodore M. Davis sometime between 1905 and 1914 but the details of this clearance are unknown.

Howard Carter investigated the tomb on behalf of Lord Carnarvon between 8 February and 8 March 1915. Carter's interest in the tomb stemmed from his purchase of three bracelet plaques bearing the names of Amenhotep III and Tiye on the antiquities market in 1912, possible strays from Davis' excavation. Digging began in the water course below the tomb, yielding fragments of faience, glass, and the foot of an ushabti inscribed for Tiye. Outside the entrance, Carter found five intact foundation deposits placed into holes cut into the rock, two on each side and one in the centre. These contained calf heads placed on top of groups of miniature vessels of pottery and alabaster containing food remains, model tools such as chisels and adzes, and blue faience plaques bearing the names of Amenhotep III's father Thutmose IV, indicating that construction was initiated for this king.

Inside the tomb, work focused on areas Davis had not investigated, namely the fill in the deep protective well shaft and the well chamber at its base. Carter's finds from the well shaft included the hub of a wooden chariot wheel, a faience bracelet plaque, and fragments of Third Intermediate Period coffins. He also investigated the burial chamber, where fragments of the king's calcite canopic chest were found.

Re-clearance

In September 1989 the Waseda University Egypt Archaeological Mission began a re-clearance to create a precise plan and elevation of the tomb. Looking for traces of Carter's work, excavation was conducted outside the entrance. Carter's spoil heap was located and re-investigation uncovered many small items including pieces of a lotus-shaped collar terminal from the same artefact as fragments in Highclere Castle recovered by Carter from the well shaft, fragmentary jar labels, wooden labels, and a wooden uraeus body from a statue.

While the location of the foundation deposits could not be confirmed, an additional foundation deposit was uncovered outside the entrance. Unlike those uncovered previously, it was not in a hole cut into the rock but seemed to have been placed on the surface. It contained small pottery vessels, a carved wooden knot, and a wooden rocker which were all placed in a rush basket; the head of a calf was placed on top. Inside the tomb, evidence of previous excavations was encountered: stone blocks were found stacked at the base of the well shaft and the well chamber only contained stacked debris from Carter's excavation.

The antechamber was found to be relatively clear with only  of fill; it contained small fragments of pottery and painted plaster. The enlarged side chamber for Sitamun contained another large spoil heap hemmed in by a stone wall, likely from Davis' excavation. Careful sieving yielded pieces of painted plaster from the walls and ceiling, fragmentary pottery and stone vessels, and wooden objects. Fill from the clearance of the burial chamber and side rooms was also moved into this chamber. Finds included two yellow faience faces from ushabti, lapis lazuli inlays and amulets, a lapis uraeus head with inlaid eyes set in gold surrounds; and pieces of wooden and stone ushabti for Amenhotep III.

Contents
Following his death in Year 38 or 39 of his reign, Amenhotep III was interred with a range of burial goods similar to those of Tutankhamun. The king was likely buried inside nested wooden coffins with inlaid rishi (feather) decoration and possibly fitted with a gold mask; such a coffin or mask the suggested source of the lapis uraeus head found by the Japanese team. The coffins and mummy were buried within a large cartouche-shaped sarcophagus made of granite instead of the usual quartzite, the first use of this stone for a royal burial in the Eighteenth Dynasty. Only the lid remains, some  long, now broken into two main pieces. The lid is inscribed with a central vertical band of text and eight horizontal bands; the underside is decorated with a winged figure of Nut. The upper surface of the lid was once covered with gold leaf. Wooden fragments suggest the sarcophagus was enclosed in a series of gilded wooden shrines.

The king's canopic shrine was protected by a gilded shrine with figures of four protective goddesses, as wooden fragments of a head wearing the khat-headdress attest; this head is the same scale as the figures on Tutankhamun's canopic shrine. Fragments of the calcite canopic chest reveal winged goddesses stood astride each corner, and the stoppers took the shape of the king's head wearing a nemes-headdress.

Amenhotep was equipped with over eighty ushabti. Many of the surviving examples are in stones such as serpentine, calcite, granodiorite, and large examples in red granite. Wooden ushabti are the most numerous of the surviving ushabti. They are made of imported woods such as ebony and cedar, and featured inlaid eyes and crowns or wigs, and pigment-filled inscriptions.

Despite making preparations for the burials of Tiye and Sitamun, it is doubtful that they were ever buried in the suites intended for them. Both apparently outlived Amenhotep and were buried elsewhere, as placing them within the tomb would have involved dismantling the blocked and painted doorways at the well chamber and antechamber. Nothing is known of Sitamun's burial but Tiye survived well into the reign of her son Akhenaten, and was seemingly buried in the Royal Tomb at Amarna. Carter considered that the presence of ushabti naming Tiye indicated that she was indeed interred in WV22 but the ushabti bear the titles 'Great Royal Wife' and 'Royal Mother,' indicating they were prepared in the reign of Akhenaten. This may lend support to a period of co-regency between Amenhotep III and Amenhotep IV/Akhenaten; alternatively they may be votives. Another theory is that they may indicate Tiye was ultimately reburied in WV22 after the removal of the royal burials from Amarna. The badly damaged mummy of Amenhotep III was moved from the tomb and restored in Year 13 of Smendes, and was ultimately discovered cached in KV35, the tomb of Amenhotep II, together with other Eighteenth Dynasty mummies including Tiye and The Younger Lady.

It is clear from the fragmentary remains found by excavators that the tomb had been thoroughly robbed in antiquity. The gold fittings from the coffins had been stripped and emptied of their inlays, a few of which were found in the tomb, such as a lapis lazuli vulture headdress worn by a queen or goddess. A mass of inlays and gold foil were carried to the main valley and found cached near KV36, the tomb of Maiherpri, by Carter in 1902. The sarcophagus box is missing and no fragments of it were found in the course of the excavation. It was likely removed for reuse during the official emptying of the royal valley in the Third Intermediate Period.

The fragments of intrusive burials found by Carter in the well, also from the Third Intermediate Period, were likely introduced after the king's body and sarcophagus were removed. One coffin belonged to a man named Padihor, while the other belonged to a woman whose name is lost but whose mother was Tabesheribet.

Decoration
The walls and ceilings of the burial chamber, antechamber, and well shaft are all completely decorated; the chamber for Tiye is partly decorated with kheker-friezes. In the well chamber and antechamber the paintings were executed over the blocked and plastered doorways. For the first time the king is accompanied by his ka and seen before Hathor, now differentiated from her role as Mistress of the West, and Nut.

In the well chamber, Amenhotep is accompanied by the ka of his father, suggested by Betsy Bryan to show that the king considered the foundation of the tomb by his father to be important. Alternatively, Kondo sees this as remnants of decoration indicating the tomb was originally intended for Thutmose.

The burial chamber is decorated with complete and abridged versions of the Amduat with the figures and text executed in cursive style.

Unfortunately, from the time of discovery, the decoration of the tomb has been in poor condition. Lepsius, who visited and copied sections of the Amduat from the walls of the burial chamber, described the tomb as "...covered with beautiful sculptures, though, alas! much mutilated by time and human hands." The paintings are damaged by salt efforescence, and sections of plaster have detached from the underlying rock, especially on the lower portions of walls. Portions of decoration have been cut out, now seen in the Louvre. As part of the Waseda excavations, restoration of the paintings was undertaken by a team of Japanese, Egyptian, and Italian experts who had previously worked on the restoration of QV66, the tomb of Nefertari.

Graffito
A hieratic inscription (graffito) is located high up on the wall in the door way leading to the antechamber from the final flight of stairs. It reads "Year 3, third month of Akhet, day 7." It appears to be contemporary with the era of the tomb, although it is unclear what exactly it refers to. It may indicate the final closing of the tomb, with the 'Year 3' presumably referring to the reign of his son and successor, Akhenaten, or it may indicate the date that the tomb was inspected for Tiye's reburial, or the date of her reburial. Marianne Eaton-Krauss attributes the graffito to the reign of Smenkhkare, while Marc Gabolde suggests it is contemporary with the graffito of Pawah, dating the reburial to the reign of Neferneferuaten. Nozomu Kawai identifies the reburial as occurring in Year 3 of the reign of Tutankhamun.

Criminal. Affirms convictions of marijuana conspiracy and related offenses and 360-month sentence. A trial continuance did not violate his Sixth Amendment right to a speedy trial and the disclosure of Harmon's prior drug conviction did not deprive him of a fair trial. The court did not make a mistake in finding Harmon responsible for more than 10,000 kilograms of marijuana.
Criminal. Affirms convictions of Class C felony forgery and Class D felony theft. Tatusko's electronic alteration of an authorized tip amount constitutes forgery. She also hasn't shown she was denied effective assistance of trial counsel.
Criminal. Affirms order Smith pay $1,380 in restitution to William Kirkham. The trial court did not err when it allowed the state to present evidence at the restitution hearing of the victim's actual loss that was not presented during Smith's theft trial. The trial court also inquired into Smith's ability to pay restitution.
In the Matter of the Paternity and Maternity of Infant T.
Juvenile. Reverses denial of father M.F.'s request to establish paternity and affirms the denial of surrogate M.F.'s petition to disestablish maternity. Her request is not cognizable so the trial court properly denied it. Indiana law presumes the birth mother is the child's biological mother. Remands for the trial court to enter an order establishing M.F.'s paternity.
Ordinance violation. Reverses denial of Gates' request for a jury trial on three municipal ordinances the city alleges Gates violated. The nature of the underlying substantive claims brought against him is quasi-criminal, and he is entitled to a jury trial under Article I, Section 20 of the Indiana Constitution. Remands with instructions to grant the jury trial request.
Criminal. Affirms sentence for Class C felony forgery.
Civil tort. Reverses grant of summary judgment in favor of GEPA Hotel Owners Indianapolis, GEPA Hotel Operator and Schindler Elevator Corp. on Kelly's negligence lawsuit.
Domestic relation. Affirms order denying Dana Smith's motion to correct error following the entry of the decree dissolving the Smiths' marriage. Remands with instructions for the trial court to add an exhibit nunc pro tunc and to redistribute the decree to the parties.
The Indiana Supreme Court and Tax Court posted no decisions by IL deadline.


0 will be released shortly. Given the great attention and emphasis now being placed on smartphone cameras, we expect Samsung to have something great for us. Based on the leaks we've seen, Samsung's high-end models have a triple camera configuration on the back, while the budget model has a two-camera configuration.
However, with regard to the camera software there is a chance features they can share the same features. According to the people at XDA Developers, they've discovered a number of possible camera features that we might expect. These include 1080p super slow motion, 0.8 second super slow motion, best shot, bokeh effects for live focus, document scanning, HEIF format pictures, HDR10 + video recording, etc.
It's not clear if this Features available for all are three phones or if they are limited to the regular and plus models of the Galaxy S10. However, we would not be surprised if that were the case. This is because Apple has done the same thing for the most part with the iPhone XR and the iPhone XS and XS Max.
It has also been reported that Samsung has introduced a feature called Bright Sight, the company's alleged attempts is Google's night vision mode.

Born in Lincolnshire, England, Paley emigrated to the United States where he became an X-Ray (Röntgen ray) exhibitor until his health started to suffer from the effects of this apparatus (the first of several bouts of illness which were to dog his life). But Paley was an inventive man, and abandoning X-rays, in 1897 he built a film projector which he named the Kalatechnoscope, and was soon taken on as a cameraman by the Eden Musée, partly to film a version of the Passion Play staged on a New York rooftop. But a more adventurous assignment was about to begin: war was brewing with Spain at this time, and in March 1898 Paley contracted with the Edison company to film incidents from it, and took his first war views the same month, showing US troops ready for embarkation in Florida. In June he joined the dozens of journalists following the troops as they invaded Cuba. Paley was soon known among the war correspondents as 'the Kinetoscope Man', distinctive both for his own bulk and for the novel camera he operated. But he found that filming warfare was not easy: expecting to see cavalry charges, instead it was a war of hidden snipers, and Paley sadly concluded, 'I don't think there is much in this campaign for the kinetoscope'. Then his camera malfunctioned, and living out in the open, constantly soaked by the rain he went down with fever, and almost died on the voyage back to America.
But following recovery he returned to camerawork, and the following year established a long term arrangement with the showman F.F. Proctor, over the next few years filming various scenes around New York and wider afield in Quebec, as an Edison licensee. By mid 1904 Paley had formed a partnership with William F. Steiner, and they began releasing short comedies. But at this time the Edison company was cracking down on independents, and in November they sued several companies including Paley-Steiner, and by the summer of 1905 the partnership was being dissolved. This was not the end of Paley's woes: in late 1906 or early '07 he was forced out of business as an independent producer and renter and was looking for work as a freelance cameraman. He next surfaced in 1910, shooting westerns at the Star Film Ranch in San Antonio, Texas for Gaston Méliès (brother of Georges). The following year the company moved to California, and it is likely that Paley spent much of the rest of his life in the West. In March 1912, employed by the Nestor Company to film the California mountains he suffered a fall, and one leg had to be amputated. Ageing and almost destitute, his colleagues started a fund to help him, and though only a few hundred dollars was raised this must have made life a little easier during his final years which were spent at Forest Lawn, Hollywood.

For those of you who aren't... well... OLD, this storyline started as a parody of the Batman: The Animated Series that ran on TV in the mid-1990's. Imitation of the art style in that series largely effects the backgrounds used throughout. It was a fun show; look it up... it's the one where Luke Skywalker did the voice of The Joker!


Future smartphone displays reinforced with Gorilla Glass 6 may be less likely to shatter according to Corning.
In its press release, Corning claims the Gorilla Glass 6 "has been engineered to survive multiple drops". The cover glass performance is improved thanks to a new material developed and engineered by the Corning engineers which can survive 15 drops from 1 meter onto rough surfaces in lab tests.
Compared to Gorilla Glass 5, the company states that Gorilla Glass 6 is up to two times stronger. Under the same test conditions, other glass compositions such as soda lime and aluminosilicate did not even survive the first drop! Besides its improved cover glass performance, Gorilla Glass 6 is also developed to meet the requirements of modern phone designs where glass is used for more than 85% of the enclosure.
Corning states that multiple customers are currently evaluating Gorilla Glass 6 and the cover glass is expected to reach the market in the next few months.

The new year has begun and I gave my self a rather vague but lofty goal for the year. This is a year that will hold one theme through the days…getting things done.
Vague I know, but very powerful when you take a step back and realize that we, or at least I, often do not take the time to simple complete a task. Like what you may ask? Well one quick example I can think of is a black and white quilt.
Yes, a black and white quilt that I have had it since our second year of marriage…we just celebrated our nine year anniversary in September. I had all of the squares completed and really it was looking great. Then I got a job at a bank and felt overwhelmed with the quilt project. So, silly me, I put it into a box and there it sat until recently.
In the spirit of getting things done I managed, with only a few minor mistakes, to get the quilt top completed! The only thing stopping me currently from continuing farther is a trip to the fabric store. Sir Swine has decided that a queen size is nice but a king size would be better, and I am inclined to agree. Once the last piece of fabric is purchased I will continue on and update you all as well.
What else does it mean to get things done? On the first of the year Sir Swine and I rented a blower and blew insulation into the attic of the new pig finishing shed we had built. We had waited thinking it would be a daunting task but it only took us a few hours and a very cold time outside. *side note: Thank you to my Mom for watching the boys while we did this.* Insulation complete, heating bill less, and peace of mind.
When it comes to New Year's resolutions we often come up with lofty goals that are new projects or plans for ourselves. Really I think one of the best things we can do is to take a step back and ask ourselves "What is getting in my way, bogging me down, or holding me back?". There really is no better feeling than that of success from finishing a project.
I should know, I just took on the task of cleaning a few cabinets in the kitchen island that have become the "dump all" location in the house. Do you have one of those? I will say it feels great to know that they are more organized now. Unfortunately, I also realized I have way to many cleaning products and I also found a few long forgotten kitchen rag knitting projects I had been working on.
No matter, I will simply add them to the mental list, or physical pile, of things that I am going to get done this year. No more waiting to get things done. This is the time to simply get them done.
I'm off to clean the fridge, that is after all what super women do.
What do you need or want to get done this year?
We also have committed to getting things done this year. There seems to be so many jobs that have to be done on a homestead as well as all the things we want to do, that we often find that nothing gets finished. We've resolved not to start any new projects until the old ones are finished. Top priority for us is finishing the root cellar and building new kitchen units.
Good luck with getting things done!
I agree no new projects for us either! Best of luck and keep me posted on your progress.

Q: SVG marker points in the wrong direction when changing line orientation I have lines with arrow head at the end. when the lines point up, right, and down, auto is working to orient the arrow head correctly. When the line goes from right to left, the arrow head ends by pointing right instead of left.
Can anyone see why that is? thanks
<marker id="markerArrow" viewBox="0 0 12 12" refX="0" refY="6"
markerUnits="strokeWidth" markerWidth="8" markerHeight="6" orient="auto">
<path d="M 0 0 L 12 6 L 0 12 z" style="fill: blue;" /></marker></defs>

A: You correctly noticed that the direction of the marker depends on the direction of drawing the line.
Your marker is drawn with the tip to the right.

<svg version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"    xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"
   width="300" height="300" viewBox="0 0 200 200" >

<!--<defs>
 <marker id="markerStart" viewBox="0 0 12 12" refX="0" refY="6"
markerUnits="strokeWidth" markerWidth="8" markerHeight="6" orient="auto">
<path d="M 0 0 L 12 6 L 0 12 z" style="fill: blue;" />
</marker>

</defs> -->

<path d="M 0 0 L 12 6 L 0 12 z" style="fill: blue;" />
</svg>

The marker can be attached to the beginning of the line - marker-start and to the end of the line -marker-end
The line is drawn from the left M10,100 to the rightL190.100

<svg version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"    xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"
   width="300" height="300" viewBox="0 0 200 200" >

<defs>
<marker id="markerStart" viewBox="0 0 12 12" refX="0" refY="6"
markerUnits="strokeWidth" markerWidth="8" markerHeight="6" orient="auto">
<path d="M 0 0 L 12 6 L 0 12 z" style="fill: blue;" />
</marker>
</defs>

<path d="M10,50 L190,100" stroke="black" marker-start="url(#markerStart)" marker-end="url(#markerStart)"  />
<path d="M 0 0 L 12 6 L 0 12 z" style="fill: blue;"/>
</svg>

Now draw a line in the opposite direction from right to left
<path d="M190,100 L10,100" />

<svg version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"    xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"
   width="300" height="300" viewBox="0 0 200 200" >

<defs>
<marker id="markerStart" viewBox="0 0 12 12" refX="0" refY="6"
markerUnits="strokeWidth" markerWidth="8" markerHeight="6" orient="auto">
<path d="M 0 0 L 12 6 L 0 12 z" style="fill: blue;" />
</marker>
</defs>

<path d="M190,50 L10,100" stroke="black" marker-start="url(#markerStart)" marker-end="url(#markerStart)"  />
<path d="M 0 0 L 12 6 L 0 12 z" style="fill: blue;"/>
</svg>

There are two ways to solve this problem:

*

*Draw and define in the  section two markers that are directed in different directions and use them depending on the direction of the line

<svg version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"    xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"
   width="300" height="300" viewBox="0 0 200 200" >

<defs>
<marker id="markerStart" viewBox="0 0 12 12" refX="0" refY="6"
markerUnits="strokeWidth" markerWidth="8" markerHeight="6" orient="0">
<path d="M12 0 L 0 6 L 12 12 z" style="fill: red;" />
</marker>
<marker id="markerEnd" viewBox="0 0 12 12" refX="0" refY="6"
markerUnits="strokeWidth" markerWidth="8" markerHeight="6" orient="auto">
<path d="M 0 0 L 12 6 L 0 12 z" style="fill: blue;" />
</marker>

</defs>

<path d="M10,100 L190,100" stroke="black" marker-start="url(#markerStart)" marker-end="url(#markerEnd)"  />

     <!-- Marker Start -->
<path d="M12 0 L 0 6 L 12 12 z" style="fill: red;" />
</svg>

*Rotate one of the markers 180 degrees orient ="180"

<svg version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"    xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"
   width="300" height="300" viewBox="0 0 200 200" >

<defs>
<marker id="markerStart" viewBox="0 0 12 12" refX="0" refY="6"
markerUnits="strokeWidth" markerWidth="8" markerHeight="6" orient="auto">
<path d="M 0 0 L 12 6 L 0 12 z" style="fill: blue;" />
</marker>

<marker id="markerEnd" viewBox="0 0 12 12" refX="0" refY="6"
markerUnits="strokeWidth" markerWidth="8" markerHeight="6" orient="180">
<path d="M 0 0 L 12 6 L 0 12 z" style="fill: red;" />
</marker>
</defs>

<path d="M10,100 L190,100" stroke="black" marker-start="url(#markerEnd)" marker-end="url(#markerStart)"  />

</svg>

Update
Marker-mid
Used only on kinks of the line. On a completely straight line it will not be visible
In the example below, marker-mid ="url(#markerRight) is red

<svg version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"    xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"
   width="300" height="300" viewBox="0 0 200 200" >

<defs>
<marker id="markerRight" viewBox="0 0 12 12" refX="6" refY="6"
markerUnits="strokeWidth" markerWidth="10" markerHeight="10" orient="auto-start-reverse">
<path d="M12 0 L 0 6 L 12 12 z" style="fill: red;" />
</marker>
<marker id="markerLeft" viewBox="0 0 12 12" refX="6" refY="6"
markerUnits="strokeWidth" markerWidth="10" markerHeight="10" orient="auto">
<path d="M 0 0 L 12 6 L 0 12 z" style="fill: blue;" />
</marker>
</defs>

<path fill="none" d="M10,100 50,50 100,150 180,50 190,150" stroke="black" marker-start="url(#markerLeft)" marker-mid="url(#markerRight)" marker-end="url(#markerLeft)"  />

As the government shutdown stretches into its 35th day, the air-traffic controllers are getting sick of working without pay. So sick, in fact, that they are calling in sick leaving three of the nation's busiest airports with massive delays and causing the FAA to halt flights into New York's LaGuardia Airport because of a shortage of air-traffic control staff.
Currently, there are air-traffic delays at LaGuardia, as well as Washington's Reagan National, Philadelphia International Airport, and Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey due to staffing issues at a Federal Aviation Administration regional air traffic control center, according to the FAA status website.
To track flights, here's the flight delay map from the Air Traffic Control System Command Center on the FAA website. That said, it's hard to confirm the exact status of flights, so check with your airline and prepare to wait out delays on the tarmac and on the taxiway.
The delays and aggravation for voters will escalate the pressure on President Donald Trump and lawmakers to end the government shutdown. That said, while delays are annoying, when it comes to air safety, better safe and stuck on a tarmac than sorry.


Kate & Doug are married!! What a wonderful celebration it was. The weather was beautiful and so was Kate! They got married at The Bishop's Chapel at Roslyn where Kate had previously been a camp counselor. It is so special when the ceremony venue is significant to the couple! The chapel was gorgeous and the ceremony was filled with love and hope.
Here is their story from Kate's perspective!
Douglas and I met in the fall of 2010 at JMU through our mutual friend, Julie. I was struggling in one of my math classes and happened to ask Julie if she knew anyone who might be able to help - and she suggested Douglas! He was pursuing his Masters in the Art of Teaching, hoping to become a math teacher, and was kind enough to help me work through some math assignments. Fast forward a few weeks later: I decided to move back to Richmond and transfer to VCU. After I had been in Richmond for a few months, I went on a particularly horrible date and decided to call our mutual friend, Julie, to vent (jokingly) about how I would never date again. She interrupted me to say that she knew someone who might be interested in me: Doug! I agreed to one date, and Doug drove two hours from Harrisonburg to Richmond to take me out. We went ice skating (which really meant that he pulled me around the rink while he skated backwards the entire time because I can't skate to save my life) and then we went out for sushi. For a couple of days leading up to our first date, Doug and I had talked on the phone, and I mentioned that I loved flowers, horses, and my favorite color was blue. At the end of our first date, he was about to drop me off at home and said that he had a gift for me. He reached into the backseat of his car and handed me beautiful blue flowers and a stuffed animal horse (which I still have today, almost four years later!). It was such a surprise and so sweet! My main criteria for a husband has always been that he would be as kind, loving, respectful, and thoughtful as my own dad is toward my mom, and this gesture certainly fit that criteria! Doug and I continued dating for six months long distance and then he moved from Harrisonburg to Richmond to begin his student teaching. We were so happy to finally be in the same city and our relationship began to grow.
Almost two years after our first date, Doug and I drove to Charlottesville for a JMU ice hockey game. He was the Head Coach and JMU had a huge game against Liberty University, their biggest competition. JMU won the game! After everyone had left the ice rink, Doug asked me if I would like to go ice skating. (At this point I was pretty sure I knew what was about to happen...) He brought me skates in my size and took me out onto the ice (again, he had to skate backwards as I stumbled out onto the ice newborn-baby-deer-style and held onto him for dear life). After we had skated a couple of laps, our song, "I and Love and You" by the Avett Brothers began playing over the loudspeakers and Doug took me to center ice. As he got down on one knee, he said: "I figure you will need an ice skating partner for the rest of your life since you're so terrible at ice skating...Will you marry me?" (Doug likes to kid himself and claims that he thinks that he said: 'Well you need a skating partner the rest of your life, so will you marry me?") I laughed and said yes and the rest is history! May 16th can't come soon enough!
Enjoy these shots of the newly married Fordham's!!
What a fun day! They left with a lavender toss. It smelled so good! Congrats you two!!

Killer of Brighton gay man jailed for 18 and-a-half years
A South African national has been jailed for 18 and-a-half years for killing a gay man in Brighton.
Ricardo Pisano, 36, killed 62-year-old Michael Polding in Brighton last year.
Pisano was convicted of manslaughter and causing actual bodily harm but cleared of murder on Monday.
Lewes Crown Court heard the men had a complicated relationship which began in 2009 when Mr Polding answered an advert for a male prostitute.
The body of Mr Polding was found by police in his flat on St George's Road, Brighton, on 16 July last year, nearly two months after his death.
Pisano, also known as Brandon Victor Pillay, Roots Lootahin, Ree or Ricky, was arrested in May after he was detained at a house in Southampton.
Prosecutor Philip Katz said during the trial: "Really from the word go, this defendant lived off Michael Polding financially. He had no job and no income.
"This defendant and other friends of his effectively bled Mr Polding dry financially and this defendant, while in this period, pretended to act as his carer and even godson," the court was told.
"In fact, we say, he abused and assaulted Mr Polding, resulting in a serious assault.
"He eventually killed him and, having killed him, left him to rot."
On Monday evening, Detective Chief Inspector Jon Fanner, of Surrey and Sussex Major Crime Team, said: "Michael Polding was a vulnerable man who trusted the defendant to care for and look after him.
"That trust was breached and the defendant was responsible for Michael's death.
"After he had died, the defendant abandoned the body of the man he claimed to care for and left Sussex in order to avoid detection and to save himself.
"The fact that Michael's body lay undisturbed for several weeks before he was found has meant further anguish for the Polding family, on top of their loved one's death."
Mr Polding's sister, Mary McKeown, speaking on behalf of the family, said: "As a family we are pleased that the trial is over and that justice has been done for our brother Michael.
"The time since we were told of Michael's death has been a rollercoaster for the family, with far more downs than ups. We have managed to get through the weeks and months only by supporting each other.
"Today's verdict means that we have justice for Michael although that is little comfort against the thought of how we lost him.
"Michael was a happy, loving and gentle person, always ready to help others when needed. He was fun and always enjoyed the company of family and friends.
"When you were with him you knew you would have a great time and would spend the day laughing and enjoying yourself.
"We would like to put on record our appreciation for all the effort put into this case by the various members of Sussex Police."
She added: "We miss Michael every hour of every day. He will always be in our thoughts."
