I recently moved the project from a MAMP server running on localhost to a domain-driven server. When I try my

test.php

file  it works and echo "It works" as intendended but when I try running my site it doesn´t .
error.log

My controller maps some of the sites by names to corresponding files like so
content of client_router all calls goes through index.php as htaccess and then to the router...
public function initialize_routes() {
$this->routes = array(
    "bordsoversikt" => "page_table_overview",
    "bordsreservation" => "page_table_reservation",
    "reservationsprocess" => "script_reserve_form",
    "registrering" => "page_registration",
    "registreringsprocess" => "script_register_form",
    "lyckadregistrering" => "page_successfull_signup",
    "login" => "page_login",
    "logout" => "script_logout",
    "profil" => "page_home",
    "klientlogin" => "script_login",
    "profil" => "page_profile",
    "sparaprofil" => "script_edit_profile_changes"
);

I assume there could be something wrong either with my htaccess file, why i posted the contents, or there could be something wrong with my apache2.config file. But Im quite new on configuring apache so I wont try to post parts of it, as I probably would post the uncritical parts. Can somebody please help me. Thanks

A: *

*Make sure your htaccess file is readable by apache (e.g. on linux, chmod 644 /var/www/example/.htaccess)

*Make sure your vhost or server config allows the override:
AllowOverride FileInfo

or better yet
AllowOverride All

*Something less likely, but look through your server/vhost config files for a command called AccessFilename. This is usually .htaccess by default but if it's something different, then you need to either change it to .htaccess or rename your file to whatever the directive says it is.


…metaphorically speaking provides nature-based wellbeing experiences for government agencies, non government organisations and business.
More than half of the Australian workforce is stressed.
Nearly half of us will experience a mental disorder in our lifetime.
Stress related claims cost Australian business over $200 million annually.
Organisations that don't promote health and wellness are four times more likely to lose talent in the next 12 months.
Stress at work can cause serious mental problems for individuals and result in higher probabilities of mental health conditions, like burnout syndrome or depression.
Illness has a direct effect on both the quality and quantity of work with deteriorating work performance and higher rates of absenteeism. Employees are slower, make more mistakes or need to repeat tasks. This lower labour productivity translates to increased costs for employers.
Richard Louv believes that people are spending much less time outdoors which is contributing to 'nature deficit disorder' affecting our physical, mental, social and spiritual health. People who spend time in nature are not only happier and healthier but also smarter and more successful inside the office. Happy people are 31% more productive, less absent with 23% fewer fatigue symptoms and up to 10% more engaged in their work.
The benefits flow on to business with a happy workforce bringing in 20% higher profits. Employers that invest in staff health and wellbeing can expect increased work performance and productivity, cost savings from higher retention and lower absenteeism, and a happier organisational culture.
Ideal for professional development, team building days or mental health promotion initiatives, Nature-Based Wellbeing Sessions promote trust in relationships, greater harmony and connection within your team.
With a focus on slowing down and awakening the senses, this Guided experience makes room for listening and reflection, for quieting and accepting presence and for inquiry through all the senses in a non-judgmental setting. For employees, the effects of stress reduction and relaxation are felt immediately, while the skills in mindfulness and self awareness are transferable well beyond the session, to other parts of their working and personal lives.
A standard Half-Day Corporate Wellbeing Session incorporates a Guided Nature Therapy walk at a location near you, bush tea and snacks for up to 10 staff for $800. For an extra fee, lunch can be included.
Shorter 'taster' sessions to boost creativity, attention or mood can be incorporated into your Corporate Events or retreats, strategic planning days, Conferences and seminars, or a weekly lunchtime program near your workplace.

Ayşe Gökkan in detention for the 83rd time in Turkey
The Free Women's Movement's (Tevgera Jinên Azad's – TJA's) spokesperson Ayşe Gökkan is in detention in the context of an investigation that was launched in Mardin (Merdin) in Turkey. This is the 83rd time she has been detained.
Over 200 investigations have also been launched against Gökkan. TJA activists and the Peoples' Democratic Party's (HDP's) Şanlıurfa (Riha) deputy Ayşe Sürücü has criticized her detention.
According to JinNews, Gökkan was detained whilst she was in her house in Diyarbakır (Amed) on 30 October as part of an investigation that was carried out in Mardin city in eastern Turkey. She was detained alongside thirteen other people due to an investigation that was launched over events in 2014. She will be held under custody for four days.
Five different investigations
Judicial proceedings have been launched over five different investigations into Gökkan. The accusations pertain to "terror organization membership". There are also over 200 investigation files dating back to when she was the Chair of Nusaybin municipality in Turkey. Four investigation files, including those of Gaziantep, Diyarbakır and Mardin, have been joined together by Diyarbakır's 9th High Penal Court on the grounds that they refer to the same charges. It is expected that other files will be added as well.
'The current situation is not legal'
Gökkan's lawyer Muharrem Şahin stated that launching five different investigations over five different charges was not legal and said: "The current situation is not legal. One person cannot be a member of five different organizations from different places in five years at same time. The investigations launched with the same reasons in Gaziantep, Mardin and Diyarbakır were put together by the court because the investigations were considered abnormal by them".
Şahin also pointed out that there were over one hundred files regarding the period when Gökkan was chair of Nusaybin municipality and added that these investigations that have been launched against her are illegal. Gökkan, elected as the spokesperson of the TJA during its last congress, had also been detained on 14 June during an investigation that had been initiated by Diyarbakır's Chief Public Prosecutor's Office in 2017. She was arrested by the court and placed on trial on 24 June. Gökkan had been released in the second hearing of that case on 27 November 2017.
Reactions to her detention
After her detention, Peoples' Democratic Party Şanlıurfa (Riha) deputy Ayşe Sürücü and TJA activists highlighted their concerns. Sürücü said: "Any woman will bend against your attacks. You cannot make us step back. Supression against women has soared under the governance of the Justice and Development Party (AKP). They try to make women silent. We will keep struggling against all these attacks. Release our friends immediately".

Biographical Sketch of Esther H. Abelson, written by Scott Beattie, Melisa Erdal, Anya Lamarre Anderson, Dan Le, Brian Wang, and Jacob Wang. Included in Biographical Database of NAWSA Suffragists, 1890-1920, .
Biography of Esther H. Abelson, 1889-1970
By Scott Beattie, Melisa Erdal, Anya Lamarre Anderson, Dan Le, Brian Wang, Jacob Wang, High School Students, Westford Academy, Westford MA.
Rhode Island Woman Suffrage Party co-founder and field organizer
Esther H. Schultz was born to Louis and Jennie Schultz, Russian Jewish immigrants, on July 20, 1889, in Revere, Massachusetts. Her father worked as a junk dealer and construction worker and the family had nine children. On October 26, 1911, she married Samuel Max Abelson, and they settled in Pawtucket, RI. Samuel Abelson was a Russian immigrant and Boston University-educated lawyer, who was active in Republican Party politics. The Abelsons lived in Rhode Island until 1925 when they moved back to Massachusetts, first to Newton and then to Boston, where Samuel Abelson died in 1940.
Esther Abelson joined the Progressive Party in 1912. Sara M. Algeo, a Rhode Island suffrage leader, claimed in her memoir that Abelson became interested in woman suffrage cause through her involvement in the Progressive Party. In 1913, Abelson became a founding member of the Rhode Island Suffrage Party, a suffrage organization that grew out of and later merged with the Rhode Island Equal Suffrage Association in 1915. In the Suffrage Party, Abelson served as field organizer, in charge of finding, training, and scheduling volunteers. Abelson also raised money and attention for the suffrage cause by selling subscriptions to the Woman's Journal, a NAWSA suffrage publication. Abelson represented Rhode Island at the national suffrage convention of 1913 in Washington D.C. At the convention, Abelson's role selling the Woman's Journal brought her national attention, as a photograph of her selling copies of the Journal was published in newspapers across the country, including The New York Times.
In Rhode Island, Abelson participated in a variety of activities to support the woman suffrage cause. She served as a chairman of the suffrage bazaar to raise money for the organization in 1913. In 1915, Abelson chaired a committee of Woman Suffrage Party members to organize demonstrations "for the spread of the women-vote propaganda on Labor Day." Also in 1915, Abelson served as chairman of the nominating committee for the Rhode Island Equal Suffrage Association. In her most unusual contribution, Abelson acted in a performance of the play "War Brides" as a fundraiser for the Woman Suffrage Party.
Abelson explained the difficulties facing suffrage organizers at a 1913 meeting of the Rhode Island Suffrage Party. The Providence Daily Journal reported that Abelson said that she "had not met with the encouragement she had hoped for, but in very determined fashion, she avowed her purpose to keep at it until she met success." She also emphasized the importance of reaching out to Jewish Americans about woman suffrage, "to rouse the Jewish contingent from its extreme indifference."
In addition to her commitment to woman suffrage, Abelson was active in other political and social causes. She and her husband helped start a Jewish organization, the Star Social and Literary Association, to promote sociability and the intellectual advancement of its members. She was a founding member of the People's Forum, an organization dedicated to "public debates and discussions...of all vital questions affecting human welfare...and the complete development of fundamental democracy and free government in America."
In 1920, Abelson had her only child, a son named Nathaniel O. Abelson. Her son later graduated from Andover Academy and Yale University and became a map librarian for the United Nations in New York. Esther Abelson died from a heart attack in her home in New York City on June 25, 1970. Abelson's obituary in The New York Times heralded her as "an early leader in the suffragette movement in Rhode Island."

BELGIUM: Delhaize to change buying alliance
Belgium-based retailer Delhaize is to switch buying alliances from next year, the company has announced.
From 1 January next year, Delhaize, a member of the European Marketing Distribution (EMD) consortium, will join AMS.
Delhaize, which joined EMD in 2001, said French retailer Systeme-U would also make the switch next year.
Renaud Cogels, head of global sourcing at Delhaize, said the move to AMS would improve the company's private-label "programmes".
Cogels added: "Private label products have become an increasingly important tool for differentiation and customer loyalty building, especially in our historical Belgian and European markets. Today more than ever, they also present a welcome alternative to consumers which purchasing power is under pressure."
AMS, which is based in the Netherlands, counts Ahold, UK grocer Morrisons, Finland-based group Kesko and Spanish retailer Caprabo among its members.
Officials at Systeme-U could not be reached for immediate comment.

WorldView-3 is a commercial Earth Observation Satellite operated by DigitalGlobe, a U.S. company offering high-resolution satellite imagery on the commercial market. The satellite is the most powerful commercial Earth Observation spacecraft ever launched to join DigitalGlobe's existing fleet of EO satellites.
DigitalGlobe was founded in 1992 as WorldView Imaging when the Land Remote Sensing Policy Act was introduced, permitting private companies to acquire and sell satellite imagery in the United States. The firm obtained its first high-resolution commercial remote sensing license in 1993. Financial backing was provided by private funders from around the world. The company was re-named EarthWatch Incorporated after merging with the commercial remote sensing branch of Ball Aerospace & Technology Corp.
Early Bird-1 was the first satellite built and launched by the company. It launched from Russia atop a Start-1 rocket in 1997 to deliver imagery at a ground resolution of 3 meters, but the craft suffered an electrical failure four days after launch and could no longer be operated.
In 2001, EarthWatch was re-named DigitalGlobe and launched the QuickBird-2 satellite after the QuickBird-1 satellite was lost the year before due to a launch vehicle failure. The QuickBird-2 satellite was capable of delivering images at a panchromatic resolution of 0.61 meters.
The first WorldView satellite was launched atop a Delta II in September 2007. Built by Ball Aerospace, the satellite is capable of collecting images with a ground resolution of 50 centimeters in the panchromatic band. WorldView-2 launched in 2009 carrying a panchromatic sensor to acquire images at a resolution of 46 centimeters and a multispectral payload that achieves a resolution of 184 centimeters.
Satellite images collected by DigitalGlobe are being sold to commercial customers for a variety of purposes such as land management and monitoring, urban planning, scientific studies and other applications.
The majority of high resolution images of Google Earth and Google Maps are provided by DigitalGlobe. U.S. federal agencies such as NASA and the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency also purchase imagery from DigitalGlobe.
Last year, DigitalGlobe purchased GeoEye, its prime competitor on the American market. With that, DigitalGlobe acquired GeoEye's active satellites, namely IKONOS with a 82cm panchromatic resolution launched in 1999, and GeoEye-1 launched in 2008, capable of collecting panchromatic images at a resolution of 41 centimeters and multispectral imagery at a resolution of 1.65 meters. GeoEye-2, currently in the late stages of assembly, will be re-named WorldView-4 to be launched by DigitalGlobe in 2016 to satisfy the increasing demand for high-resolution Earth imagery. The satellite, built by Lockheed Martin, will have a ground sample distance of 34 centimeters, its optical payload being developed by ITT Corporation.
In 2014, DigitalGlobe announced that it had received notice from the U.S. Department of Commerce that the company would be allowed to sell its highest-quality commercial satellite imagery. Effective immediately, DigitalGlobe is now permitted to sell their customers imagery at the highest-resolution as acquired by the current satellite constellation.
The updated approvals will also permit the company to sell imagery with up to 0.25-meter Ground Sample Distance in panchromatic bands and 1.0-meter GSD in multispectral bands to all customers six months after the launch of WorldView-3.
In August 2010, DigitalGlobe was awarded a Service Level Agreement within the Enhanced View program of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency that includes a cost share for the development and launch of the WorldView-3 satellite. DigitalGlobe awarded a contract to Ball Aerospace to build the WV-3 satellite platform while ITT Industries received the contract for the optical imaging payload for the spacecraft.
Like the previous two WorldView satellites, WorldView-3 uses Ball's BCP-5000 satellite platform, a high-performance satellite platform capable of hosting optical and radar payloads providing increased power, precise pointing, high agility and increased data storage and downlink capability.
Overall, the satellite is 5.7 meters tall and 2.5 meters wide in its stowed configuration while having a span of 7.1 meters with its two power-generating solar arrays deployed in orbit. WorldView-3 has a mass of around 2,800 Kilograms.
The satellite consists of several components starting in the aft section with the Control Moment Gyro Module followed by the Propulsion Module, the Spacecraft Bus Section and the Telescope Payload. The Payload itself features a an aperture cover, sun shade, the telescope optics and the Focal Plane Unit.
Electrical power is provided by two three-segment solar arrays that are installed on a rotary joint to allow the arrays to track the sun for increased power generation. The arrays deliver 3,100 Watts of electrical power that is distributed via a Power Conditioning and Distribution Unit that routes power to and from a 100 Amp-hour battery that supplies power to the various satellite systems as part of a redundant power system architecture.
WorldView-3 is equipped with a range of navigation sensors including star trackers, sun sensors, a precision Inertial Reference Unit and a GPS receiver. Attitude control is accomplished using Ball's Advanced Control Moment Gyroscopes that provide a high-precision while also delivering high torques to achieve rapid re-orientation maneuvers. Using these CMGs, WorldView-3 is capable of performing slew maneuvers from one imaging target to the next within five seconds as opposed to 30 to 45 seconds that are required for conventional reaction wheel systems. A slew of 200 Kilometers on the ground takes 12 seconds using the advanced CMGs.
The Attitude Control System provides excellent targeting of ground locations with and accuracy of 500 meters. A geolocation accuracy of up to 3.5 meters can be reached with WV-3. WorldView-3 is equipped with a Propulsion System to be used for precise orbit maintenance.
Imagery acquired by the telescope is stored in a 2.199 Tbit solid state recorder with error detection and correction. Downlink of data is accomplished using an X-Band communication system that operates at data rates of 800 and 1,200 Mbit/s. Housekeeping data can be downlinked via X-Band in real time at rates of 4, 16, 32 or 64 kbit/s while stored telemetry data is downlinked at 524 kbit/s. Command uplink is done via S-Band at data rates of 2 or 64 kbit/s.
The payload of WorldView-3 is known as a superspectral-imager consisting of a high-performance telescope, an imaging sensor and a Shortwave Infrared System. Additionally, WV-3 is equipped with the CAVIS payload built by Ball Aerospace (Clouds, Aerosols, Vapors, Ice, and Snow). The telescope aperture measures 1.1 meter in diameter.
In total, the satellite covers 29 spectral bands including a panchromatic band, eight multispectral bands, 8 shortwave infrared bands and 12 CAVIS bands.
The imaging payload achieves a ground resolution of 31 centimeters in the panchromatic band at nadir, 1.24m in the multispectral bands, 3.7m in the shortwave infrared range and 30 meters for CAVIS. Off-nadir resolutions (20°) are 0.34m for PAN, 1.38m for MS and 4.1m for SWIR.
WorldView-3 covers a ground swath of 13.1 Kilometers supporting multiple swath imaging for mosaic image creation and stereo imaging. The satellite can acquire five strips to create an image of an area of 66.5 by 112 Kilometers in a single pass. For stereo imaging, two pairs of images measuring 26.6 by 112 Kilometers can be acquired in one pass. With its high agility, WorldView-3 delivers a revisit time of under one day for any given location on Earth with a one-meter ground resolution or better. Revisit times for an off-nadir angle of 20 degrees or less is on the order of 4.5 days.
The CAVIS imager is used to provide data for atmospheric monitoring and to deliver data for the correction of high-resolution imagery collected by the imaging payload when taken through haze, dust and other atmospheric obscurants.
In total, WorldView-3 will be able to provide imagery of a ground area 680,000 square Kilometers per day to be used by the U.S. government, oil and gas industries, scientists and land/urban developers.
WorldView-3 will operate from a circular Sun-Synchronous Orbit at an altitude of 617 Kilometers at an inclination of 98° with a local time of descending node of 13:30.

Royals to extend protective netting at stadium
EXCLUSIVE: Parents of slain Washburn football player speak out after charges filed in his murder case
by: Katherine Hoffman, McKenzi Davis
Posted: Jul 12, 2019 / 10:25 PM CDT / Updated: Jul 13, 2019 / 01:21 AM CDT
TOPEKA, Kan. (KSNT) – Washburn football player Dwane Simmons was killed on April 28 and over two months later, charges were filed against his killer.
KSNT's McKenzi Davis spoke with Simmons' parents Friday evening, just hours after they heard the news that murder charges had been filed against Francisco Mendez.
Navarro and Yasmine Simmons are grieving the loss of their son, but are comforted that the man responsible for their grief is behind bars.
"He knows that we love him, we know that he's looking down on us, and he knows that justice has been served," Navarro said. "We will continue to lift up his legacy."
"It is the beginning of some type of closure for us, when it comes to just knowing who the person was who is responsible for taking a big part of our life away," he continued.
On April 28, Topeka Police responded to calls of gunshots and upon arrival, found Dwane Simmons suffering from gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
His teammate and friend, Corey Ballentine, was transported to Stormont Vail for a gunshot wound, where he recovered from his injuries.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - The Kansas City Royals are planning to extend the netting at Kauffman Stadium to better protect fans.
The decision comes after a fan was hit by a ball Sunday during the Royals' game against the Detroit Tigers.

Q: Read CSV File in Spark and Write it to Cassandra I am trying to read a CVS File with Spark and then save it to Cassandra. Saving to Cassandra is working, when I'm using trivial values.
I have a file with the following values:
id,name,tag1|tag2|tag3
I want to store it in a cassandra table:
id bigint, name varchar, tags set
I defined a case class for this:
case class Item(id:Integer,name:String,tag:Set[String])
Then I use this expression for getting the RDD out of the CVS file
val items = sc.textFile("items.csv").map(l => l.split(",") match {case Array (a,b,c) => Item(Integer.parseInt(a),b,c.split("\\|").toSet)})
When I now call collect or saveToCassandra on items (which starts the processing) I get the following error:

A: As mentioned, the issue is that splitting on some inputs is generating an array that has less or more than the 3 elements used in the match.
But the partialFuntion used to do the match can be used to filter on the elements that do fit the match criteria. rdd.collect{partialFunction} is exactly meant for that:
val data = sc.textFile("items.csv")
val arrayData = data.map(l => l.split(","))
val items = arrayData.collect{case Array (a,b,c) => Item(Integer.parseInt(a),b,c.split("\\|").toSet)})
 items.saveToCassandra(...)

*

*Note1: you should also protect against dirty values. e.g. parseInt on a value that's not an int number,...)

*Note2: rdd.collect{partialFunc} (filters/map data using a partial function) should not be confused with rdd.collect (get back data to the driver))

A: You'll get that match error if your input isn't an array of 3 entries e.g.
String("a,b").split(",") match {
   case Array(a,b,c) => ....
}

so I suspect this is some input data issue, and you need to cater for it in your match.

A: I use below to save my CSV file "|" seperated to cassandra DB.

There has never been a more crucial time to make a great impression in the world of business.
Times are really tough for many companies with even long established household names struggling in the economic climate. Whether your business is based in Bexhill or another town in the UK, it's important that you start to spend a bit of time and effort in your networking efforts. Strange though it may sound, networking the hog roast Bexhill way could be one of the best investments you make.
Business is more than just supply and demand. Business is about building relationships with existing and potential new clients. One way you can do that is to wine and dine them, and by choosing the hog roast Bexhill method, you can make it a truly memorable occasion.
A networking or showcase event can help you get to know people, press a few palms and find things that you have in common. Big deals can emerge from events like this so it's important you do things right, because a poorly organised event can not only be a waste of your time and effort, it can cost you business in the long run.
The hog roast Bexhill principle is simple. Serve up some of the best food you can at your event and the rest will take care of itself. Sounds simple as it really is. Hog roast is just such the perfect food, but there's a lot more to it than just taste.
Hog roast looks incredible whilst it's cooking as the hog roast chef will attend to it with true professional dedication. It's a bit like a stage show, with the chef in charge of the impressive looking piece of equipment that is the hog roast machine. It looks the business and it will give a very visual message to all your guests that you are out to impress and show them that you want to treat them to a great evening.
Did I mention the aromas? From the moment your guests enter the venue, they will notice the amazing smells coming from the Bexhill hog roast. It's a mouthwatering sensation and certainly helps sets up the rest of the evening in style.
If you have had hog roast before, the chances are that it was at a party or outdoor event in Bexhill and that the meat was on rolls. Well, I suggest you use hog roast's versatility to your advantage and have this roast served professionally as a beautifully carved and superbly presented meat. It really does look superb and your Bexhill event guests will think they are being catered for by a top restaurant.
Last, but by no means least, is the taste. Hog roast is in a league of its own when it comes to great flavours. A better, more succulent meat will be hard to find anywhere in Bexhill or East Sussex.
Make a statement and show your clients that you really appreciate their business. Give them a Bexhill hog roast to remember.

Captain America Memorabilia Finds Home at Frontiers of Flight Museum
TOPICS:featuredfrontiers of flightnews
Posted By: dfwnewsflash November 1, 2019
Dallas — Captain Steve Rogers has found a new home in DFW, or at least, his costume has.
The Frontiers of Flight Museum unveiled the newest addition to their collection, a 1942-era Captain America costume, during their annual War of the Stars Halloween event on Saturday, Oct. 26.
"This year we're partnering with a group called Heroic Inner Kids, who dress up in costume and go visit kids who are sick," Cheryl Sutterfield-Jones, CEO of Frontiers of Flight museum, said. "They're also very focused on STEM education, so they're perfect for us.
"This year, they donated a Captain America [costume] as an artifact for the museum. Captain America has a rich history with World War II, and we have our World War II gallery, which is very important to us. We unveiled Captain America today as the newest artifact at the museum with help from Heroic Inner Kids."
While many people today know Captain America from the popular Marvel Studios films, only a few "true believers" know the character actually got his start through war propaganda. Will Coherd with Heroic Inner Kids dressed as Captain America for the event and spoke about the character's ties to the American war effort.
"Captain America was really inspirational, because people were looking for something to look up to," Coherd said. "The war had been going on for a while, and when the US was brought into the war, he was used as propaganda originally. But kids and adults around the world really latched on to Captain America and made him a way to deal and cope with the war. All the men in the United States were going off to war, and there were a lot of people who couldn't go off to war, so he really gave them hope."
Coherd added the Marvel moves inspired him to start playing the character.
"I think Disney and the [Marvel Cinematic Universe] have done a really good job of portraying [Captain America]," Coherd said. "I think Chris Evans was the perfect choice to play Captain America, and he was the reason I started cosplaying Captain America. I was actually more of a DC kid growing up, but Chris Evans' portrayal really inspired me.
"I've been cosplaying Captain America for seven years, and it's strictly for charity reasons. I don't do birthdays parties or charge for this. It's all charity-based. It's why we were able to donate this uniform to the museum as part of their World War II exhibit."
Sutterfield-Jones said this new addition to the museum's World War II exhibit is sure to be of interest to not just WWII fans, but comic book fans as well.
"[Captain America] is a piece of history," Sutterfield-Jones said. "I did not know that Captain America was created during World War II to help inspire people, to support the troops and support the war. He was created for posters to sell war bonds, and they made the comic books to send over to the troops to try to encourage them.
"I think he represents so much of that World War II patriotism and what we all believe in and fight for. He'll be a great part of our new World War II exhibit."
Although Cap was the star of the show, many other heroes and a few villains, came out to show their support. Daniel Sanchez, also from Heroic Inner Kids, was also at the event dressed as Superman. Sanchez said heroes like Captain America and Superman are not just important parts of American history, they are role models and inspirations for kids and adults everywhere.
"Everyone needs a friend," Sanchez said. "Everyone needs a hero who is kind to them. I think one of the best things that can happen is for a person to say, 'I met my hero and they liked me!' That is something I never get tired of, and it's what our entire organization is here for.
"Whatever someone's situation is in life, whether they're medically disadvantaged or economically disadvantaged or in the foster care program, to have the feeling that their hero met them and liked them and saw something good in them, that helps them face the next day."
The 1942-era Captain America costume donated to the Frontiers of Flight Museum was created by Will Coherd and Daniel Sanchez.

UAE PASS to be sole digital identity to access government services in Dubai
Users can access more than 5,000 government services using a single username and password
The UAE PASS will soon become the only digital identity for all residents of Dubai, including citizens and expats, to access government services within the emirate as well as other parts of the country.
It will replace the Dubai ID which was required until now to access online government services in Dubai.
The Strategic Affairs Council, a division of The Executive Council of Dubai, adopted the UAE PASS policy in Dubai as of May 1, 2020.
Smart Dubai activated an initiative called The Digital Future, developed as part of its 100-day plan for the "Government Development Track" – one of the six tracks announced by the Dubai Council, which was inaugurated at the beginning of 2020 by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.
DubaiID is retiring tomorrow! Make sure to upgrade to #UAEPASS with these simple steps, to continue accessing online services not only in Dubai but also across the #UAE. Download UAE PASS app and upgrade now; https://t.co/Y17bVPk1LL #SmartDubai pic.twitter.com/ZupJ0LoqMl
— Smart Dubai (@SmartDubai) May 14, 2020
The new initiative has the potential to drive development across the government service ecosystem; enhance communication between local and federal entities on one hand, and the private sector on the other, as well as grant citizens and residents access to government and private-sector services.
UAE PASS provides an authorised digital ID through smartphones and includes a digital signature feature allowing users to sign official documents, reported official news agency WAM.
Users can access more than 5,000 government services using a single username and password.
The service has already been adopted by 200,000 individuals.

Smart Dubai will work on developing plans to implement the system in the emirate and oversee its implementation across government entities.
It will further develop the system and outline frameworks to operate it
Smart Dubai is also tasked with authorising system operators in Dubai and ensuring that it is being used in compliance with its pre-determined conditions.
"Today, as we launch a policy for the UAE PASS being the official gateway to access all Dubai Government services, we reap the fruits of years of hard work," said Dr. Aisha bint Butti bin Bishr, Director General of Smart Dubai, on Saturday May 16.
"In partnership with the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority and Abu Dhabi Digital Authority, the UAE PASS project was launched in 2018 to support our wise leadership's vision to build future-ready smart cities. It is in line with their plans for digital transformation and supports the Dubai Paperless Strategy," added Dr. Aisha.
There are 29 federal government entities, 22 Dubai government bodies, and 31 entities from the six of the remaining emirates, as well as 10 private-sector entities which have already implemented the UAE PASS as part of their digital transactions.
In Dubai, these entities include Dubai Economy, Dubai Police, Dubai Electricity and Water Authority, Knowledge and Human Development Authority, General Directorate of Civil Defence in Dubai, Dubai Land Department, Dubai Health Authority, Dubai Courts, Roads and Transport Authority, Mohammed bin Rashid Housing Establishment, Dubai Municipality, Dubai Civil Aviation Authority, Dubai Culture, National Bonds Corporation, Dubai Asset Management, Dubai Sports Council, Dubai Maritime City Authority, among others.
Outside of Dubai, the departments which are using the service include Fujairah Police, Fujairah Municipality, Sharjah Economic Development Department, Sheikh Zayed Housing Programme, Ministry of Infrastructure Development, and Emirates Authority for Standardisation and Metrology, among others.
The UAE Central Bank already adopted the initiative in September 2019, allowing all customers to accelerate the process of opening an account remotely, without needing to physically visit the bank.
"The directives to adopt UAE Pass in Dubai indicate the digital leadership of Dubai and the UAE as a whole, and it reflects the rapid progress towards a digital wellbeing future, that takes into account the happiness of society and individuals, through the provision of interconnected integrated services in which the public and private sectors participate, and accessible by customers anytime, anywhere, as they can enjoy a fully interactive experience," said Hamad Obaid Al Mansoori, Director-General of the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority.

The Appearance of the High Priest – Theophany, Apotheosis and Binitarian Theology: From Priestly Tradition of the Second Temple Period through Ancient Jewish Mysticism, by Michael Schneider, מראה כהן: תיאופניה, אפותיאוזה, ותיאולוגיה בינארית – בין ההגות הכהנית בתקופת הבית השני לבין המיסטיקה היהודית הקדומה (Sources and Studies in the Literature of Jewish Mysticism 30; 2012, 384 pages, ISBN 1-933379-25-1, in Hebrew).
This volume is the first of three volumes in a major scholarly reassessment of mystical traditions in the Second Temple period, which explores the variety of early religious traditions across diverse bodies of literature and in various languages. The symbolic, mythic and mystical features of these traditions, their transmission and migration histories and their reappearance in some medieval texts is further investigated. At the heart of this volume is the concept of the encounter and communion between the high priest and God, which implies an anthropomorphic theophany (the appearance of the God in human form) and the apotheosis (deification) of the high priest. This phenomenon is understood in the framework of a binitarian theology that distinguishes the hidden God from His visible appearance. These concepts appear as sources for many latter mystical traditions.


It's true that you're not supposed to judge a book by its cover, but appearance does go a long way toward making a good impression. A modern and streamlined conference room is an excellent way to show potential clients the worth of your company. Your conference room can be designed to showcase your business' personality, from the type of Ultra HD display on the wall to the style of motorized shading covering the windows.
Streamline the process of starting presentations or finding the right remote. With conference room automation, all of your systems are connected for easy access and management. Interactive whiteboards, video conferencing systems, speakers, motorized shading, lighting, and more—everything is seamlessly integrated into a simple control system that cuts down on pre-meeting prep work so that your conference room meetings begin on time effortlessly.
You can even program pre-set "scenes" that set up your conference room for different scenarios with the touch of a single button. For a sales pitch, touch the "Present" button to lower the shades, dim the lights, and turn on the display in presentation mode. Whatever you use your conference room for, you can program the scene that best fits each situation.
How much money does your company lose in excessive energy costs each year? A conference room automation system can intelligently monitor the activities in your conference room so that energy use is always optimized. As employees enter the room for a meeting, sensors automatically cause the lights to turn on and shades to rise. After meetings, all electronics can go into sleep mode until needed again. On sunny days, your automation system can even dim the unnecessary artificial lighting in the room. All of these automated activities are designed to use energy as efficiently as possible.
Conference room automation is changing the way businesses operate. If you would like to upgrade your conference room or office with commercial automation, contact us today.


The amount of money parked in U.S. banks and financial institutions has risen to a two year high as banks hold back from lending to each other and from financing growth industries. Fears of contagion from Europe have now infected America inhibiting the development of new ideas and products.
Can America find its entrepreneurial spirit once again? Probably not, now that those business executives have found their way to the bailout window of the Federal Reserve Bank. Profits may be divided among the bosses but losses are likely to be socialized by government subsidy.
Equity investors are running scared, holding their breath during the stock market rallies. Any serious expansion of the labor force will require guarantees that will hold investors and companies free and clear of financial loss while they manage the wave of hiring.
Utilizing their experience and trained personnel, the dominant companies in each industry will be positioned to identify talented workers and management and break thru products while getting the political credit for employing the jobless on Uncle Sam's credit card. And one of the rewards is likely to be a share in ownership of the subsidized company.
This is one jobs bill that will not hit a wall of opposition in the US Congress. It will satisfy the popular demand for a jobs employment bill. It will subsidize industry without government imposed management, it will take the political wind out of the Occupy Wall Street movement, it will have averted a Washington Spring demanding national reorganization toward economic justice and social equality.
And the money will still be out there, in the vault of the banks, while the US Treasury picks up the costs.
The Tea Party doesn't have a national headquarters or unofficial governing body. Nor is there a reliable count of its members, because there is no formal way for adherents to sign up. It is a collection of unrelated local groups: six people gathered in the living room to talk and complain over whiskey and soda.
Indiana has 72 such affiliates, many named after Johnny Appleseed. Name variations often include the phrase "small government". The local groups buy Tea Party golf balls, Tea Party cigars and children's coloring books.
What happened to Obama? In this moral and economic crisis, the media cry out in virtual unison, expecting the president to rescue his constituency as headlines scream, "As corporate profits rise, workers income declines." As unemployment staggers the nation and social programs are cut, there is no FDR in this administration, so stop looking for one.
Recently at West Point, President Obama's Secretary of Defense Robert Gates said that "any future defense secretary who advises the president to again send a big American land army into Asia or into the Middle East or Africa should have his head examined." Gates was opposing any US intervention – big or little - in the civil war in Libya – but here we go again.
At that time war talk about Libya came from the architects of the misbegotten Iraq war, Senators John McCain and Joseph Lieberman, Paul Wolfowitz and his fellow neo-cons. Now the President has been persuaded by Senator John Kerry and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that we must fight a third war against a Muslim nation.
We were able to pressure the dictators who run the Arab League to support war against Libya even though Saudi Arabia has invaded Bahrain while denouncing Libya for defending itself against rebels in its own country. The Arab dictators rule their rebels with iron fists.
As we write this blog, eleven US warships and a cloud of airplanes are attacking Libya from the Mediterranean; US planes are bombing Libyan airfields and military installations. If Qaddafi does not surrender, ground troops will surely follow even though Libya is hardly a threat to the United States. With only 6 million people, a persistent rebellion and little industry, Libya is outgunned and outmanned by an enormous margin. However, Libya has 2% of the world's oil reserves, giving it plenty of cash and making it mighty attractive in some quarters. Since September 1, 1969 it has been ruled by Dictator Gaddafi in a brutal and dictatorial manner. In 2003, Libya improved its international relations somewhat, stopping biological chemical and nuclear weapons development, signing the Non-Proliferation Treaty, accepting responsibility for the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103, UN sanctions were suspended; the US soon ended all sanctions, re-established diplomatic relations and began to purchase Libyan oil.
Libya's military dictatorship is an outgrowth of its tribal rivalries and Gaddafi represents the dominant tribes centered around Tripoli. The perennially rebellious minority tribes live in or about Benghazi in Eastern Libya. The invasion by the US and its Allies is designed to change the tribal order, reversing control in a manner that virtually guarantees continued strife.
Although US forces are already on the attack, there has been no declaration of war by Congress as required by the U.S. Constitution so the legality of the war could be challenged. Of the 250 wars the US has fought only five have been formally declared. So much for our declared respect for the Constitution. No supporter of the US war against Libya claims that Libya threatens the US. Al Qaeda is not involved. The basis for the attack is stated as humanitarian, the spreading of democracy, the saving of Libyan lives. Opposition is based on the cost of the war at a time when US domestic expenditures are being cut. An attack for whatever reason on another Muslim country while we attack Muslim Pakistan with drone airplanes could stimulate anti-crusader attitudes and another attack on the US homeland. Once again it establishes US military intervention as the prime element in our foreign policy, concentrating US power in the presidency without traditional constitutional controls.
Libya does not threaten the US or our allies. Follow the advice of Defense Secretary Robert Gates. The oil isn't worth the trouble and the loss of reputation. The tribes of Libya will have to work out their differences themselves.
For the safety of all Americans, the purchase and use of firearms must be controlled and regulated by the federal government in a uniform system applying to all gun owners in all states. Qualifications for ownership and use should include: passing a written test, a physical test, and a medical test as well as training in use of firearms.
A fair and workable system should have as a basic principle that every gun owner should have a reason to have a gun: military, security officer, police, hunter, target shooter. There should be uniform regulation in all states so that a person cannot buy a gun in one state but then take it to another state to evade regulations.
Enforcement should be the responsibility of the local police chiefs, who know the angry and unstable people in their area, who have self-interest and motivation because their officers are most often in the line of fire. All guns should be stored in the local police station, signed out for use, and then returned to the police station. No guns should be allowed at home to avoid children or unauthorized persons having accidents, to avoid the use of guns as a tool to settle an angry argument, to avoid gun use in a vehicle during road rage, to avoid availability during mental depression.
The cost of installing such a system would be far less than the current cost of gun incidents. It would give law-enforcement another tool at the local level where most crime and accidents take place.
Legitimate use of guns under safe procedures would be protected, even encouraged - but murders, suicides, and deaths by gun accident and errors would be reduced dramatically.

Gretchen Burns Bergman is Executive Director and Co-Founder of A New PATH (Parents for Addiction Treatment & Healing), a non-profit organization that works to reduce the stigma associated with addictive illness through education and compassionate support and to advocate for therapeutic rather than punitive drug policies. She served as State Chairperson for Proposition 36 in 2000, which mandates treatment instead of incarceration for non-violent drug offenders in California, and she was one of the three signers of Prop 64 in 2016 to regulate and legalize marijuana. She is leading the international Moms United to End the War on Drugs campaign that was started in 2009. She is Owner/Director of Gretchen Productions, a Fashion Show Production Company, started in 1979. Her articles on treatment vs. incarceration have been published nationwide, and she has spoken before countless audiences on the topic of therapeutic justice for individuals with substance use disorders and harm reduction strategies. She has two grown sons who are in long-term recovery from heroin addiction.
"As a parent, I know first-hand how pointless and dangerous it is to throw a drug-sick individual in prison, where he is treated like human storage, rather than giving him the services to recover, make amends and heal wounds inflicted while living in the nightmare of addiction, and be able to give back to society."

Stats to know: Allowed receptions on 30 of 37 targets between 2014-2016; he did not break up a single pass in that time span, and gave up a QB rating against of 123.2.
Sifts through trash well, consistently finds the ball on run plays.
Stays square to the line of scrimmage when pursuing laterally, allowing him to change directions efficiently and break down to make open field tackles.
Missed just one tackle in eight Big Ten games in 2016.
Possesses the length and bulk to take on and defeat larger blockers, and also uses his natural leverage to create an advantage.
Physicality with blockers makes him a viable blitzer on passing downs; posted six sacks, 16 total pressures in 2016.
Timed speed (4.75 40 at the combine) is better than playing speed, which can be exploited in space when in coverage both in terms of recovery and ability to run downfield.
Speed also hurts him on outside runs when he has to chase, as he has to adjust his angles in order to prevent backs from winning the edge cleanly.
Will bite on play-action, putting him out of position on coverage plays.
Lacks the burst, explosiveness to effectively attack the QB off the edge.
Davis has missed just five tackles in 1019 career snaps (just two misses in 697 snaps in 2016), but has defended just two passes in 61 targets against, while opposing QBs have enjoyed a rating of 122.3 when throwing into his coverage.
Bottom line: Gedeon is a two-down linebacker who likely played at his athletic and physical capacity in 2016 due to the strength of the Michigan roster around him. He is quick to diagnose and attack run plays in front, and is a sound tackler because of his ability to stay square to his targets, but his lack of playing speed and instincts in coverage make him a liability on the back end. His physicality against blockers does give him some viability on inside runs and on blitzes, but he shouldn't be taken until the middle of Day 3.


"State of preservation (which could probably be abbreviated to 'Condition') is a small vocabulary describing the general condition in which the inscription was at the moment of the latest inspection. In many cases we won't know if an inscription still exists."
"The common use among Members of the BPN is to insert, when this information is available two dates. A 'Not before' and 'Not after' dates. This is still a best practice and has been preserved as such in any encoding. There are nevertheless divergences on historical periods and indeed in the way computations are done. In many cases only a generic date is possible.
"Terms in this vocabulary refer to any decoration surrounding an inscription. Hederae, crosses, and chi-rho monograms are probably among the most frequent decorations, but there are a number of classifiable features of decoration which support and are indeed vital in some cases, to the understanding of the inscribed text. Many artistic classification could be suggested, but for the purposes of epi- graphic research we offer a flat list of features which can be found surrounding an inscription."
"In this vocabulary are described all terms which concern the type of text written on a stone according to its function and aim as a text. (Manzella 1987, pp. 110-111)"

Just before ramadan I had the chance of trying out the new ML400 with the twin-turbo V6 that powered it just as well as a V8.
With the exterior you can notice smoother lines, beautiful chrome accents and an aggressive front end with DRLs that give the car that extra hint of aggressiveness in the morning.
You can feel that the ML is quite spacious, the exterior dimensions are just about right for an SUV, its not too wide or too narrow and was a pleasure to drive.
The rear of the car and the lines in the back lights were modernistic, and the hint of chrome on the front and rear ends is just enough for you to feel its not just a carry on from the previous models.
I was amazed by the amount of technology in the car, the all angle camera, the driver awareness system the nice ambient LED lights at night, and the AC was soo cold I had to turn it down often! Its one of the best AC's I've tried in an SUV. It also had a cooled/heated cup holders which was pretty cool, it couldn't really cool a beverage but was able to maintain the temperature longer.
The interior of the ML400 makes you feel at everything was in place and everything is there, with both comfort and styling. The wood accents looked beautiful, the double sun-roof was a great plus and let in quite a lot of light in the morning, the boot space was spacious and was able to fit two large passenger bags without any trouble. The overhead display, dials and center console was easy to get to and always within reach or a button away. The back seats had ample legroom, and the seats were quite comfortable and spacious.
For me the ML400 was a great daily driver vehicle, I would've like more aggressive sounds from the engine to match the great engine performance (I thought it was too quite). On the road and stability wize it handled more like a sedan than and SUV it felt very stable on the road, it was easy to take turns at high speeds and not once did I feel threatened by the fact that I was driving an SUV, I felt quite in control. Fuel economy was also a plus (with the bi-turbo v6), good performance + good AC + good fuel economy, what else can we ask for!

Mahara Magistrate Dharshika Wimalasiri ordered former DIG Vass Gunawardena who had allegedly extorted Rs. 1.5 million from Singappuru Sarath – a suspect turned State witness in the Kelaniya Pradeshiya Sabha member Hasitha Madawala murder case, be remanded.
The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) produced the former DIG before the Mahara Magistrate following a complaint by Sarath Kumara Edirisinhe alias Singappuru Sarath who was a former secretary to Minister Mervyn Silva. The former DIG is alleged to have threatened to kill Singappuru Sarath unless three million rupees was paid to him and had obtained half that sum.
CID special investigation unit Inspector Ranjith Munasinghe tendering the investigation report informed court that the CID had obtained bank account details of the former DIG. Inspector Munasinghe requested court permission to record a statement of the former DIG with regard to his bank transactions by visiting him at the remand prison.
He also requested the court to remand the suspect until investigations are concluded. Senior Counsel Ajith Pathirana appearing for Vass Gunawardena accused the CID of malicious attempts to implicate his client in various other cases as it lacked evidence to implicate him in the killing of businessman Shyam.
"We do not know what the allegation is in the 'B' report of this case," Counsel Pathirana told court. "Everybody knows who Singappuru Sarath is," he said. Counsel Pathirana told court that Police officers who arrested Singappuru Sarath received various gratifications from him. There is a strong possibility these CID officers too could have been rewarded by Singappuru Sarath, he alleged.
The 'B' report was based on some unverified statements of a third party which alleged the former DIG had threatened to kill Singappuru Sarath if he failed to pay three million rupees, Counsel Pathirana pointed out. The 'B' report also said that his client had obtained a cheque for three hundred thousand rupees, he said. All these allegations are only hear-say and could not be acted upon, Counsel Pathirana said. The CID is going to file some other cases against his client in the near future, counsel told court.
The CID officers are not getting any gratification from anybody and the counsel's remarks are disgraceful, Inspector Munasinghe told court. He also told court he was not aware of any other cases that are to be filed against the former DIG. Counsel requested court to provide special security to his client as a large number of suspects arrested by him were brought to the court.
Having considered the submissions, the Magistrate directed the prison officials to allow the CID to record a statement from the suspect. She also ordered the prison officials to provide adequate security to the suspect and directed the CID to expedite the investigations and report the findings to court.

Asus flexes its hybrid muscle once again with a 7-inch tablet that makes calls

11. Verdict
Is it a phone? Is it a tab? We're not quite sure
As a smartphone, its use is negligible. But as a tablet, the Asus FonePad shines just as brightly as its Google-branded cousin, and while the small-tablet market is crowded the FonePad stands out. It's well made and offers a good selection of features for a good price.
Great LED-backlit screen
microSD storage
Premium metal chassis
Good battery life
No rear camera
Poor speakers
Nexus 7 cheaper
Impractical for calls
The latest creation rolling off the production line at Asus is the Asus FonePad: a 7-inch Android tablet that can make and receive phone calls.
Arriving with an extremely friendly £179.99 price tag when it launches on April 26, the FonePad is here to compete with the likes of the Google Nexus 7 (also developed by Asus), the Kindle Fire HD and the all-conquering iPad mini for your affections.
Interestingly, the Asus FonePad is notable for coming armed with an Intel processor rather than the Nvidia Tegra chips favoured by the majority of Android devices. The Intel Atom Z2420 on board clocks in at a speed of 1.2GHz and has a separate PowerVR SGX540 GPU for backup.
There's 16GB of storage space as well as the unbridled benefit of Android Jelly Bean arriving out of the box. But it's the smartphone aspect of the device that Asus is hoping will entice you.
The Taiwanese company believes the device is "ideal for people who value both the voice communication features of a smartphone and the entertainment opportunities afforded by a tablet".
It's not exactly wrong either. Once the 3.5-inch display of the iPhone 4S was considered sufficient, but the sales of devices like the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and the recently revealed Samsung Galaxy Mega suggests we're getting happy with bigger screens.
That doesn't necessarily mean you're happy to walk around with a 7-inch slate clasped to your ear - but that's missing the point of the FonePad. You can use a headset when walking down the street, or prop it on a stand at your desk and use the speakerphone.
It's an attempt to answer the age-old dilemma of one general device or multiple specific devices.
We're going to go out on a limb and suggest the FonePad probably won't replace the Samsung Galaxy S4, iPhone 5, Sony Xperia Z or HTC One you carry in your pocket every day.
But Asus has tucked plenty of tech into the device and kept the price low enough that it certainly stands as a respectable tablet in its own right.
When tablets first started arriving back in 2010, it was the lesser known manufacturers that turned in cheaper options - usually by cutting every conceivable corner when it came to features and design. Now though, the big boys of the tech world have become very good at keeping those aspects alive at wallet-friendly prices.
The Asus FonePad features the accepted 7-inch screen and, from the front at least, looks the conventional Android tablet.
Jelly Bean's soft-touch navigation keys mean the face of the FonePad is devoid of physical buttons, leaving simply the black bezel with the Asus logo and camera lens on the top.
The rear of the tablet has more in common with Apple's iPad mini than the Asus-produced Google Nexus 7 thanks to a smooth metallic finish. Available in either "titanium grey" or "champaign gold", the metal adds an undeniably premium feel even if the grip isn't as good as the dimpled rear surface of the Nexus 7.
Asus has located the power button and the volume rocker on the left edge near the top of the tablet. The edge of the device is tapered and the buttons are set fairly close to the chassis, so hitting them in a hurry isn't always easy. Similarly, given the smoothness of the back, it can be a bit tricky adjusting volume with your thumb if you're holding the tablet one-handed with your left mitt.
The FonePad's 16:9 aspect ratio means its easy to grip around the back for anyone with small or medium sized hands. You'll be able to curl your fingers around the edge and hold it comfortably, rather than having to resort to holding it by one corner and obscuring part of the screen.
Naturally though, the tablet works best when gripped with both hands in a landscape mode. If you're gaming or watching the latest Game of Thrones, chances are you'll be holding it this way and the FonePad sits very nicely in a two-handed grip.
We mentioned that tablet manufacturers cut corners in the early days and some of that still survives - cost is cost, after all. The FonePad doesn't feature a rear-facing camera, so the back of the chassis is completely clean. By way of markings, you'll find an embossed Asus logo and the familiar Intel Inside mark at the bottom of the tablet.
If there's one thing as bad as holding a tablet up to make a phone call, it's holding a tablet up to take a picture. We feel fairly safe in saying here that the omission of a rear-facing camera is no great loss. If you're absolutely desperate for one, pick up the US version of the FonePad - that's got a 3MP rear-facing camera built in.
The only two ports on the device are the micro USB port and the 3.5mm headphone jack. These are both found on the bottom of the tablet with the headphone jack to the left of the charging port.
Weighing in at 340g, the FonePad is slightly heavier than Apple's 308g iPad mini - but in day-to-day terms this slight extra bulk is barely noticeable. Part of the attraction of 7-inch tablets is undeniably the lighter load and you'll have no trouble holding this tablet one-handed while watching videos, or indeed, making a call.
If Asus does want to best Apple's effort, it can point to screen resolution as one way of doing that. The 1,280 x 800 resolution panel on the FonePad display benefits from an LED backlight with IPS technology and is exceptionally clear.
It won't usurp the 10-inch tablets for screen clarity but the contrast ratio and colour balance certainly looked all right to us and is more than serviceable for enjoying a movie or game on the move.
Unfortunately, the problem with premium metallic finishes and beautiful TFT-coated screens is the susceptibility to dust and scratches. It's no different here and the FonePad is certain to come off worse against keys and loose change if you leave it unprotected in your backpack. Our advice? Invest in a case.
