If the World Cup Were Brexit, England Just Lost to Colombia…

England's victory over Colombia in the World Cup has made many English people happy.
But not all English people.
Left-wing campaigner Kevin Maguire is clearly miffed, after a somewhat embarrassing misreading of the match which he seems to imagine England lost:
That sound is Germany laughing at English fans who laughed at Germany going out. They do have a word for schadenfreude #EngCol
— Kevin Maguire (@Kevin_Maguire) July 3, 2018
Talk Radio host Stig Abell's liberal sensibilities were severely discombobulated by the fact that the English commentators were not rooting sufficiently for the diving, cheating, devious Colombians:

Exposed – German/Russian EU Conspiracy Vindicates Brexit
JUSTIN TALLIS/AFP/Getty
"Better off in."
This was the slogan of the Remain campaign during Britain's EU referendum. It didn't persuade the 17.4 million people who voted Brexit, most of whom see the EU for what it really is: a corrupt, sclerotic, socialistic, anti-democratic, anti-capitalist, authoritarian superstate run primarily in the interests of the country that lost the war but won the peace, Germany.
Ever since, bitter Remoaners have been lining up on the BBC to explain how this was a huge mistake and how we should all vote again to get the correct result this time.
But what if new evidence emerged to prove that those untutored, ill-educated, knuckle-dragging peasants who were stupid enough to vote for Brexit were right all along?

George Osborne's Gone, Thank God. So Why's Mark Carney Still Around?
Like Osborne, Carney abused the prestige of his office quite abominably during the EU referendum.
Did you see that odd photo of George Osborne looking shifty, queuing up in the Vietnamese jungle for the chance to fire an M60 machine gun? I found it interesting for a number of reasons.
One, obviously, is that it's probably the first time in five years Osborne hasn't been pictured wearing a hard hat and goggles. Another is what it tells us about his earnings prospects on the US speaker tour circuit: those guns can fire up to 650 rounds a minute — so at the local tourist rate of £1 a bullet that's quite an expensive cheap thrill.
Mainly, though, what struck me about that snap was just how quickly fortune's wheel can turn. Only two months ago, Osborne was the UK's second most powerful politician, in charge of the world's fifth largest economy. Today he's just another middle-class, middle-aged tourist, with kids in tow, living out his midlife-crisis Rambo fantasy.
I wish I could feel sorrier for him than I do. But I'm afraid I found him as disappointing a chancellor as David Cameron was a disappointing prime minister. Some years ago, I used to chat to him in our kids' school playground. 'Just you wait till we get into power, then you'll see how Conservative we really are,' he once promised when I complained about the wet, centrist, anti-free-market direction his party was taking in opposition. He never delivered on it, though, did he?
His darkest hour, most of us will probably agree, was during the EU referendum when he masterminded the confected and mendacious Project Fear, promising all manner of made-up disasters if Britain voted the 'wrong' way. But even before that, he was showing some pretty worrying tendencies: his kowtowing to the Chinese; his closeness to Russian oligarchs and sinister Machiavels like Lord Mandelson; and, most dangerous of all, his addiction to micromanaging and neo-Keynesianism, whose damaging effects we may yet be ruing for many years hence.
Whatever had happened to the zealous young Thatcherite I used to know in the playground? Probably the same thing that happens to a lot of senior politicians: seduced by high-level shindigs at Davos, Brussels and wherever Bilderberg is holding its roadshow this year, they become convinced that the people best placed to run the world are a Brioni–suited cabal of enlightened corporatists, globalist technocrats and Goldman Sachs-trained central bankers like his Canadian import Mark Carney. It's like the Bullingdon for grown ups, and naturally George wanted to be with them on the superyacht.

Better a Cocker Spaniel as Prime Minister than Theresa May…
We're all entitled to our opinions as to who'd make the better Prime Minister – Boris Johnson or Andrea Leadsom.
But there's one thing on which must agree. Better either of the above – or, frankly, a Cocker Spaniel – than the (current Home Secretary and lead rival contender) Theresa ruddy May.
Let me give you two reasons why.
First, May is fundamentally unsound. Earlier this year she claimed, without blushing, that "Sharia courts benefit Britain." But there was an earlier indication she was a wrong 'un in 2014 when she had a public spat with Michael Gove (who at the time was Education Secretary), over the best way to deal with Islamic extremism in Britain.
It began, you may remember, as a result of the Trojan Horse scandal when it emerged that a number of state schools in Birmingham had been hijacked by Islamists promoting an extremist agenda, with non-Muslim teachers marginalised, boys and girls segregated, teenage males taught that rape is legal within marriage, Islamic terrorists glorified and non-Muslims described as kuffar.
May – perhaps to duck responsibility and save her skin: as Home Secretary she's supposed to be in charge of law and order and social cohesion – tried to pin the blame on Gove.
Gove struck back, as well he might. No one in the British government has been more keenly aware of the problems of Islamism than Michael Gove. He was on to it a decade ago when he wrote Celsius 7/7 – a book excoriating the cultural dhimmitude that had led to problems like the London bus and tube bombings.
Part of Gove's argument has always been that it is simply not enough to combat Islamist terrorism. You also have tackle the root causes of the problem: madrassas teaching young British Muslims to despise the values of their own country; Wahabi and Deobandi imams, parachuted in from Pakistan and Saudi, preaching the most extreme form of Islam; inequality before the law endorsed by Sharia courts; sucking up to extremist "community leaders" and ignoring the peaceful majority; and so on – as well as more positive stuff, like encouraging Muslims to become better assimilated and more loyal to their host culture.
It's known colloquially as the "drain the swamp" strategy. That is, it's no good just bashing the crocodiles' heads as they attack your canoe. If you want to sort out the problem long term, you have to neutralise the environment from which all those crocs are coming in to attack you.
May, on the other hand, is of the "don't let's make a fuss, let's just deal with the crocodiles as and when they appear" school of thought.
Which of the two approaches, do you think, is most likely to secure long-term social cohesion and reduce the number of future terrorist attacks?
The row between the two got so heated that Gove was ordered by Prime Minister David Cameron to apologise to May.
Gove, it should be noted, is now supporting Boris Johnson's candidature in the elections to become new Conservative leader and Prime Minister.
The second reason why Theresa May doesn't deserve to be Prime Minister is because she backed the wrong side in the referendum.
She didn't need to do so. It has long been rumoured that she has Eurosceptic sympathies. But when push came to shove, she decided to put petty ambition before principle and take what she thought was going to be the easy option: back the Establishment position and reap the rewards.
Had Remain won, she would have benefited accordingly.
It would be a monstrous injustice – not to mention an insult to the electorate – if, having backed the wrong horse for the most cynical of reasons, May went on to be rewarded with the highest office in the land.

Remain: When 'Kinder, Gentler Politics' Really Means 'Dirtier, Uglier'
"This will play well for us," said a Labour pro-Remain figure on Saturday responding to the murder of pro-Remain Labour MP Jo Cox.
Will Straw, director of the Remain campaign, has been caught red-handed advising his team how to exploit Cox's death by playing up the message that Leave represent "division and resentment" while only Remain represents "decent, tolerant Britain."
This is what the left means by "dog-whistle" politics.
Only this time, it's the left which is blowing that whistle.
Here, as Guido reports, is what Will Straw said in a highly embarrassing leaked audio file.
"We need to recognise that people have been pulled up short by Jo Cox's death and it is now time to make a very positive case for why we want to be in the European Union… to call out the other side for what they have done to stir division and resentment in the UK.
That is something we must all do… This is what we think is the closing argument of the campaign, reflecting all the arguments that we have been setting out for many months but also the new context that we're in. What we want to say is people should vote Remain on Thursday for more jobs, lower prices, workers' rights, stronger public services and a decent, tolerant United Kingdom."
The language is cautious, mealy-mouthed but the message is clear. To paraphrase: 'Never mind the issues – just focus on Jo Cox. They didn't buy Project Fear; they didn't buy Project Lies; but they might just be sold on Project Grief.'
And Straw may have a point for, since the murder of Jo Cox, there has been a dramatic shift in Remain's fortunes. Where before they were trailing in the polls, now they have pulled ahead.
Yes, there's a story doing the rounds that this is because the public are becoming increasingly concerned about economic issues and that these favour Remain. But I suspect that this is just Remain spin to cover their own embarrassment at the unseemly way they've been using Jo Cox's death to their advantage.
Here's Katie Hopkins, telling it like it is:
Ask yourself what would have happened had it been Nigel Farage not Jo Cox slain on a pavement, whether they would have called for kinder Politics?
I suspect in some quarters they would declare he brought it on himself. How they laughed when his family were attacked whilst trying to enjoy a family lunch in a pub.
As we move into the final few days of the campaign, the ugly ambition of Remain will be to keep the Jo Cox story alive – at least in print – until June 23.
There is no end to the stunts set up to ensure this story has legs and keeps running – when most of us just want the family left in peace to grieve and find some sleep.
Regrettably for the state of British politics, she's probably right.
First came the pilgrimage by the two main party leaders David Cameron and Jeremy Corbyn – both pro-Remain – to lay wreaths in Cox's constituency in Birstall, West Yorkshire and preach the virtues of "tolerance" and "democracy". (More dogwhistling: if you don't believe in these virtues than you must be Vote Leave).
Then yesterday, Parliament was recalled from its summer recess for a special sitting. Ostensibly to celebrate the life and the "kinder, gentler politics" apparently embodied by Jo Cox; but also, unfortunately, to allow campaigners like MP Stephen Kinnock – son of two of the EU's more voracious apparatchiks Neil and Glenys – yet more dogwhistling opportunities by talking about "hope not fear, respect not hate, unity not division". (Unity: you mean, like, in a "not leaving the EU" kind of way, Stephen?)
After that will come the funeral which – let us pray – will remain a private affair.
If you think this is normal procedure for when a parliamentarian is killed while in office, you'd be mistaken.
It didn't happen after Conservative MP Ian Gow was assassinated with an IRA bomb in 1990.
Nor did it happen in 1979 when Airey Neave – a wartime hero (one of the few men to escape from Colditz) and also a personal friend of the Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher – was murdered in similar fashion by another Irish Republican terror group the INLA.

New York Times Tries to Pin 'Violence' on Brexit Campaign
With characteristic subtlety, intelligence and insight, the New York Times has lumbered into the Brexit debate and dog-whistled its left-leaning readership with a piece heavy hinting that thanks to Nigel Farage Britain is the new Nazi Germany.
Let's examine its argument in more detail, starting with the headline. I've put the New York Times's words in bold; my comments appear below.
Britain Asks if Tone of 'Brexit' Campaign Made Violence Inevitable
New York Times Journalist States that Tone of 'Brexit' Campaign Made Violence Inevitable, taking lead from left-leaning Remain activists and commentators whose biased opinions he cherry-picks to support his threadbare thesis.
On the specific subject of 'Tone' see also: 'Tone' – the Liberal-Left's codeword for 'I hate free speech'
As the shock of the brutal murder of a young member of Parliament began to subside on Friday, there was a growing sense in Britain that something ominous had been unleashed in the country.
Whence grew this 'growing sense'? The only people actually promulgating this line are left-leaning, pro-Remain activists who've seen a Rahm-Emanuel-style opportunity in the crisis of a mother-of-two's senseless, brutal murder. Most normal people would much prefer it if Britain's democratic future were debated on more relevant issues.
The increasingly ugly anti-immigrant tone to the campaign
This is not a fact but a left-wing propaganda trope. Sure there have been odd lapses of taste, notably the somewhat crass Breaking Point poster. But for most of this referendum campaign the nastiness has been confined to the Remain side – whose Project Fear has been characterised by mendacity, ad hominems, snobbery and bullying. Leave, on the other hand, have sought to keep their tone as upbeat and positive as possible; as have UKIP and Nigel Farage. This is because they have been alive to the possibility that their respectable position on controlled immigration will inevitably be misrepresented by the left as xenophobia and racism. So what Erlanger is doing here isn't journalism but propaganda: stating as fact something he might wish to be so but for which he can demonstrate little evidence other than hearsay from parti-pris commenters.
Coupled with the violence of English fans at the European soccer championships…
The high-water mark of English football violence was thirty years ago. Either Erlanger doesn't know this – in which case why he is commenting on UK affairs? – or he is being deliberately misleading.
…has left many here feeling that the boundaries of acceptable behavior are breaking down.
"Many"? See above and below.
"What we are just seeing generally is a very disturbing shift in British politics," said Simon Tilford, the deputy director of the Center for European Reform, which favors British membership. "It is quite upsetting to me what is happening."
"As a pro-EU activist I will say anything to smear the other side."
With next Thursday's vote on the referendum only days away, campaigning was suspended as a gesture of mourning and respect for the victim, Jo Cox, 41, a rising star in the opposition Labour Party who, not coincidentally, was a strong backer of Britain's remaining inside the bloc.
That "not coincidentally" is flat-out in contempt of court. You are ascribing motives to the killer which have yet to be established in a court of law. Also, you are trying to pin the murder on the entire Brexit cause. Low – really low.
While it is still too early to say how the attack will change the dynamics of the campaign, it has unquestionably shifted the focus from the growing momentum of those in favor of leaving to the anti-immigrant tactics they have employed as the vote has drawn closer.
No. The Leave campaign is not "anti-immigrant": it has simply argued for controlled migration, which is something else entirely.
The suspect arrested in the killing, Thomas Mair, 52, has a history of mental illness.
Wow. An actual sentence stating the truth. But let's wait for the inevitable "but", shall we?
But he was also reported to have been in contact with far-right groups in the United States and Britain, and to have said, "Britain first!" several times as he attacked Ms. Cox. Britain First, a far-right nationalist group, denied any links with Mr. Mair, but a United States civil rights group said he had been associated with an American neo-Nazi organization called the National Alliance.
As Peter Hitchens notes in this must-read Mail piece, "disturbed people do sometimes embrace the wilder political and religious creeds. But it is their mental illness, not these barely understood 'opinions', that makes them capable of the dreadful act of killing – an act which separates them from the rest of humanity." Around 30 million people – half Britain's population – want to vote Leave. The idea, as Erlanger and others are hinting, that they might have anything remotely in common with this mentally ill man or his warped political associations is disgusting.

Finally, The Wankerati Tell Us Which Way to Vote in the EU Referendum…
Jason Merritt/Getty Images
Like lots of people I'm in two minds about Britain's EU referendum. The arguments presented by both sides seem so powerfully convincing.
On the one hand, there are the Brexiteers, who point out that the EU economy is shrinking, that its regulatory burden is holding back our business; that outside the EU we'd be richer and freer; that we'd regain control of our borders and be in a better position to protect ourselves against the wave of potential terrorists that Angela Merkel is determined to make EU citizens in order to punish us all for what Germany did in World War II; that we'd no longer be controlled by democratically unaccountable, faceless, supremely untalented apparatchiks who, in their own countries wouldn't be deemed fit to take the orders at Domino's Pizza, but who thanks to the EU, in the case of Baroness "Who?" Ashton got to swan around on £400,000 a year like she was some major international powerbroker; that it's a nonsense to argue that Britain needs to belong to a crippled, spavined, sclerotic, inefficient, wasteful, monumentally corrupt socialistic superstate when, actually it used to do perfectly well for itself for two hundred odd years when it ran half the world. For more details on this see, for example, the very excellent Brexit The Movie.
But I've been listening to the arguments advanced by the Remain camp with Prime Minister David Cameron very much setting the dignified, civilised, intelligent, measured, thoughtful tone – and they're very compelling too. Here are some of the best: Boris Johnson's wife may have had an affair – or if it wasn't her, it was possibly someone a bit like her – or maybe not; Boris Johnson used the word "Hitler" in a newspaper article and if you use the word "Hitler" you lose automatically; Boris Johnson smells of poo-poo and wee-wee and actually loves the EU and only says the opposite because it's opposite month and also because he just wants the job of Prime Minister, so there; David Cameron has agreed to pose looking self-conscious and awkward for a Remain campaign publicity shot while walking across the zebra crossing at Abbey Road which is amazing because it's just what popular beat combo the Beatles did on one of their most famous album covers and the Beatles wrote Strawberry Fields and Eleanor Rigby so Remain must be a good thing.
So you see, it's been a tricky one. Which is why, for some time now, I have been looking for guidance one way or another from the sort of people whose gravitas, clear-sightedness and deep knowledge I can rely on.
The blond lefty actor who played one of the wacky DJs in Richard Curtis's collectably lame The Boat The Rocked, say. Where does he stand on the EU referendum?
Or the anti-fracking mad catwoman who virtually invented punk by realising that instead of using giant safety pins for just nappies (that's diapers, you American readers) they could also be inserted through leather jackets or even parts of your anatomy.
Or the guy who played Alan Turing in that somewhat trite movie which turned the Bletchley codebreaking story into one about gay martyrdom – and who loves to sound off on all sorts of Social Justice issues, as you would, when you're from the rough side of the tracks having only been educated at Harrow, not Eton.
Or that woman poet laureate that no one much rates?
Or the spy author who hasn't written a good book since the Cold War days – unless, of course, you think the greatest threat to global security right now are sinister Big Business interests working with the American secret service, in cahoots with the wicked Israelis, and posho Englishmen in pin-stripes with posho accents because they're really posh, in which case of course, you'll love everything he writes because it's the same every time?
Or that good-looking actor who shags everyone?
Or the Social Justice campaigner – another Old Harrovian – who actually wrote The Boat That Rocked?
Or the priapic comedian who used to do funny stuff till he realised his main mission in life was to destroy the freedom of the British press?

Obama Might As Well Have Declared: 'Britain Lost the War Of Independence Because You Have Small D**ks'
President Obama's visit to the United Kingdom was nothing more than a trolling exercise, straight out of the Saul Alinsky playbook.
The tactics went like this:
The Provocation
Barack Obama came to Britain and, in the guise of lofty, statesman-like disinterested amity made a statement so outrageously provocative that he might just as well have said: "My historians tell me the reason you guys lost the War of Independence is because your penises were incredibly small."
No really – his presumption in telling us which way to vote in the European Union debate was that arrogant and rude. The only people in Britain who welcomed Obama's intervention were the ones already on board with the European Union project. For anyone else, it was a calculated insult from a meddling hypocrite interloper.
The Inevitable Reaction
That's why, naturally enough, those on the opposing side of the argument – the ones advocating exit from the European Union – responded in kind. If Obama was going to behave like a bumptious prick, well, he deserved to be treated like a bumptious prick.
Hence the perfectly proportionate response by Boris Johnson (Mayor of London; leading light of the Brexit faction) making gentle reference to the President's Kenyan, anti-British heritage, to Obama's pointed return of the Winston Churchill bust, and to the meddling, anti-democratic, and thoroughly un-American nature of his suggestion that Britain should remain shackled to the kind of socialist superstate that no American would personally tolerate.
The Manufacture of the Outrage
If you understand how the modern left – especially its Praetorian Guard, the Social Justice Warriors (SJW) – operates, what you'll realise is this: that the sole tactical purpose of the President's visit was to generate a kind of "beneficial crisis" which could then be exploited for political ends.

Why Michael Gove and Boris Johnson Plumped for Brexit
My friend Michael Gove is an honourable and intelligent man so when, a few weeks ago, I read reports that he was thinking of throwing in his lot with the "Remain" camp, I rang him up in horror.
"Is it true?" I asked.
"I'm still undecided. Torn between what I feel about the EU and loyalty to the PM."
So I said: "Not many people get the chance in their lives to save Britain. Drake; Nelson; Churchill. Your call."
"No pressure then," said the Lord Chancellor.
I'd love to be able to claim that it was me wot swung it. But I honestly don't believe that, for all his professed vacillations, Gove was ever capable of doing anything other than nailing his colours to the Brexit mast.
The same is true, for different reasons, of Boris Johnson.
Last week, when lots of other armchair experts didn't, I correctly predicted that both men would inevitably vote out.
I'm very glad they did since I think it will make all the difference to the #Brexit campaign. Put it this way, had Gove and Johnson not come out for Brexit, the "Leave" camp would never have stood a chance of persuading wavering middle-ground voters to take the plunge. With Boris's charisma and popularity and Gove's intellectual heft to back it Brexit now stands a serious chance of becoming reality.
Let me explain – briefly, because I'm ill and mustn't write too much – what I think made up their minds.
First Gove. Gove's decision is the easiest to explain: integrity. Of all my Oxford contemporaries to go into politics Gove is the only one who has not been intellectually or morally corrupted by the process. I'm sure almost everyone who goes into politics (in Britain, at any rate; less so, perhaps, in, say Nigeria) does so for the noblest of reasons. But what they quickly realise is that if they are ever to enjoy career advancement, they must compromise their ideals for whatever is thought at the time to be the "greater good" of their party. In the Cameroon era this has meant squishy, ideology-free centrism.

Why Is David Cameron Covering up for the EU?
The deep unpopularity of the EU
Much as I admire Dan Hodges, I can't share his enthusiasm for the government's mooted scheme to snoop on our internet activity. No I don't buy the line that "If you've nothing to hide you've got nothing to be afraid of." No I don't believe that allowing nameless authorities to spy on our private communications will prevent another Soham or another 7/7. On the contrary, I think giving the state more power over our last bastion of free speech and free ideas will only serve to threaten our security and our liberty, not protect it. And I'm frankly amazed that any MP would wish his or her name to be associated with the push for this tyrannical, Big Brother charter. That's why I Tweeted yesterday to ask whether anyone knew which of our politicians had been behind this assault on our freedom and our privacy. The super-switched-on @welshtoy knew the answer, as she so often does.
Had I troubled to read the ever-reliable Richard North's EU Referendum, of course, I would have known the answer even before that.
It emanated – duh! – from the European Union.
But, whether the case has been made or not, these are EU-inspired plans so they are going ahead regardless. This development is an integral part of the EU's Internal Security Strategy, launched by Cecilia Malmström, EU commissioner for home affairs, without fanfare in November 2010.
What is now happening at the UK end is that the British government – in common with other member states – is working with and assisting the EU commission in trialing "EU-led operational programmes", each member state developing the individual building blocks which go towards making up the integrated EU policy.
The internal policy is in turn part of the overarching European Security Strategy, set up in December 2008 and, with an eye on controlling terrorism and cybercrime.
Latest of the developments, happening only last week, was the launch of a Cyber Crime Centre, a working division of EuroPol, which will build up to a vast EU monitoring facility, announced by commissioner Malmström in a Brussels press conference on the Wednesday.
Initially established with a staff of thirty in the Europol facility in The Hague (in the former Gestapo building), this can only be a temporary home. Its expansion and extending remit will require a massive, purpose-built facility in the not too distant future.
Here you start to see possible links with the British initiative, which focuses on GCHQ in Cheltenham as the monitoring centre. What better home could you find for the European centre than the self-same GCHQ, thus bringing in EU money to help support this extremely expensive government operation?
And this is how the EU pork-barrel works. A member state happily works away developing EU policy, apparently unilaterally, all to provide a template which the EU can then adopt. The reward comes with the allocation of an agency or EU facility and the cash that comes with it.
Similar rules apply to another of the Coalition's recent policy gaffes: the pasty tax. As the excellent Christopher Booker pointed out in his column last Sunday, this too emanates from the EU not from our own government. (Or rather, the entity we risibly assume is our government).
The question I would like to ask here – it's one that Booker and North often ask too – is: "Why?"
Consider the flak the Coalition took this week over the pasty issue. David Cameron was made to look remote, snooty and rather ridiculous with his "I did eat a pasty once. In one of the emporia at a northern railway station, I believe. And most delicious it was too!!" man of the people defence. Osborne lost some of his (surely undeserved in the first place) reputation for budgetary competence. It was generally agreed to be one of the Conservatives' worst weeks since the general election.
Yet at no point did any of their spin merchants or strategists seek to limit the damage by letting it be known that this stupid, unpopular, cheeseparing regulation was European in origin. Nor did anyone in the Coalition let slip that the Big Brother charter too was a European plan rather than a Coalition one.
This is bizarre, is it not? Here we have a Prime Minister who claims not to be a Europhile but who, apparently, would prefer to see his personal reputation and his Coalition's reputation take several massive hits rather than allow public opprobrium for deeply unpopular measures to be directed towards the institution that devised them: the EU.
I'm sure Sue Cameron has a point when she says that it's Whitehall, not our elected parliamentary representatives, which really calls the shots on how our country is run.
But it's worse than that: those Whitehall bureaucrats are merely enforcing the will of EU technocrats.
David Cameron, renewable energy and the death of British property rights.
Mitt Romney and David Cameron: conservatives who won't defend conservatism
Climategate: why David Cameron is going to be disastrous for Britain
David Cameron skippers Morning Cloud, conducts LSO, etc

Q: For a 3D Apollonian packing, do we really know that the Hausdorff dimension of the complement is approximated by the growth rate of curvature? The fractal dimension of the 3D Apollonian packing is computed in this paper.
In the introduction, the authors cite three of Boyd's paper (Ref 2, 5, 6) to support that the fractal dimension (Hausdorff dimension of the complement) can be approximated by the growth rate of curvature (see Eq. (1)).  This kind of estimates was also used for other space-filling packings, such as this paper, also citing Boyd.
I may have missed something, but here is what I learned from the references:

*

*Ref 2 is talking about exponent of 3D osculatory packings.

*Ref 5 proved that fractal dimension equals exponent for 2D Apollonian packing.

*Ref 6 proved that growth rate converges to the exponent for 2D Apollonian packing. ($\limsup\to\lim$)

I do believe that the Hausdorff dimension of the complement equals the exponent of the packing, and they are approximated by the growth rate of curvatures.  But I'm not convinced by the reference and the argument, especially for the "dimension=exponent" part.
I would appreciate if you can help to complete the chain of references.

Edit: I have now my own proof, which is very different from Boyd's approach.  But I'm still not sure whether this is previously known.  I add the label of hyperbolic geometry, in the hope that people from Kleinian group might know something.

A: OK, I found the reference:
For those who care, it's recently proved in a much stronger form by Oh and Shah in The asymptotic distribution of circles in the orbits of Kleinian groups.  The paper is about circle packing, but the method can be generalized to higher dimensions, as pointed out at the bottom of page 9.

Former shops and houses, 1850-53, to the designs of George Andrew Middlemiss. Classical style. C20 and C21 alterations.
MATERIALS: Sandstone ashlar (Craigleith) with a Welsh slate roof and a lead-covered dome; hand-made brick to the rear elevation.
PLAN: rectangular with a curved corner, facing onto Bridge Street and High Street West.
EXTERIOR: occupying 1 and 1a Bridge Street and 101-103 High Street West, the building has four storeys plus basements. The use of the Giant Corinthian order on the first and second floors serve as an architectural separation of the original commercial and residential elements.
The west elevation facing Bridge Street and the south elevation facing High Street West have three and two bays respectively, each bay framed by pilasters with modified capitals. The curved corner section in between is enriched by four attached columns on shallow pedestals. The columns and pilasters support a high entablature with a dentilled frieze and a modillioned cornice, with applied lion heads to the curved corner section. All windows have plain reveals and are set directly into the wall surface with no surrounds, though those to the second floor have bracketed projecting sills. There are a number of original sash windows remaining, though most are later replacements. The lower, attic storey has plain pilasters defining the bays, an eaves gutter cornice, and a blocking course, with a palmette finial at the right end. A corniced drum with palmette finials and two clock faces breaking through, support the high, lead-covered dome of sixteen ribs. The steeply-pitched roof has transverse-ridge chimneys. The ground floors have C20 shop fronts and fascias, but the original entablature is thought to remain behind the latter. The more northerly former Manfield shopfront on Bridge Street retains its early-C20 shop front including the mosaic threshold bearing the letter 'M', the plate-glass windows and the columns. The rear elevation of the building is of hand-made brick, partially obscured by rough cast render and retains several original segmental-headed windows.
INTERIOR: the stone-walled cellars from the pre-1850s houses that formerly occupied the Bridge Street site survive. The basements retain their original plans, although with later subdivisions, with one retaining a brick-vaulted ceiling, and one retaining its original green and cream decorative scheme. The rear of 103 High Street West, thought to have been the kitchen of the plot, has plastered walls, an original north-facing window opening and a substantial fireplace with a plain ashlar surround containing the remains of a cast-iron range. There are few if any original features to the ground floors. The first floors retain original joinery and plaster work, much of it decorative including moulded architraves with paterae to the corners, deeply moulded plaster cornices and ornate fire surrounds. There is an original but modified cast-iron stair from ground to first floor with lattice work to the risers and quatrefoils to the treads. The second floor has simpler joinery and plaster work including a moulded cornice and boarded ceilings, and the third floor has moulded architraves to the doorways and a pair of original fireplaces, both with simple painted stone surrounds, one retaining a cast-iron grate. It is considered that further original and historic features remain within the building, masked by later inserted ceilings and boarded walls. The corner dome has plastered walls that reveal the original cast iron ribs boxed-in with curved wood. Much of the clock mechanism has been removed, although its wooden frame remains. The adjoining attic corridor and landing retains some of the original paint scheme.
Hutchinson's Buildings was erected between 1850 and 1853 by Ralph Hutchinson, a local ship builder and timber importer. It was a substantial commercial development on the corner of Bridge Street and High Street West, and replaced a pair of houses on Bridge Street, the remainder of the extensive plot being vacant. The building comprised a four-storey terrace of eight self-contained vertical units of ground-floor shops and basements, with domestic accommodation above. The architect was George Andrew Middlemiss (1815-1887) a local builder, surveyor, architect and auctioneer. James Dowell was the contractor. The use of palace-fronting, in which long, grand classical facades clad a number of individual units, may have been influenced by the earlier use of the style at Grainger Town, Newcastle (1835-42; Grade II, II* and I). The inclusion at Hutchinson's Buildings of a domed, curved corner clad in pilasters is considered to be a direct stylistic influence from Grainger Town demonstrated by the Central Exchange Buildings (1838; Grade II). Many of Hutchinson's Building's tenants have been identified in documents from the 1850s onwards including some notable Sunderland retailers such as Mackie's the hatters who first occupied the curved corner plot, and the Specialite Clothing Company an outdoor and waterproof clothing specialist. Not all shopkeepers chose to reside in the accommodation above their shops, some of which was let separately.
In about 1855 the corner dome was altered by the addition of a stone drum in order to incorporate a pair of clock faces at what had become a popular meeting point known as Mackie's Corner. Shop fronts were also modified by the use of iron to create larger plate-glass windows. Overall however, the buildings remained much as constructed when the Great Fire of Sunderland struck on 18 July 1898. The catastrophic fire led to the demolition and rebuilding of 104-109 High Street West (separately listed at Grade II). The mid-C19 part of Hutchinson's Buildings largely unaffected by the fire, was retained, although the interior of number 103 High Street West was also rebuilt in the late C19.
During the C20 and C21 the upper floors of the building were opened up as office accommodation and became physically linked to the rebuilt section of the building forming 104-109 High Street West, thus allowing circulation between the two parts of the building. The basements, ground and first floors remained mostly self-contained until the mid-C20 when doorways were opened between them and horizontal access was gained across floors. The ground floor shop fronts were remodelled in the early C20 by the national shoe chain Manfield and Son, who also converted the first floor to a showroom. The second and third floors were refurbished in the 1980s, including the insertion of suspended ceilings, but original plaster work remains visible above. With the exception of the shop front to 1 and 1A Bridge Street, shop fronts were remodelled in the 1990s, and in 2018 the ground floor of 103 High Street West was amalgamated with the adjacent building and converted to a cafe.
Mackie's Corner (1 and 1A Bridge Street and 101-103 High Street West) is listed at Grade II for the following principal reasons:
Architectural interest:
* a handsome mid-C19 commercial design utilising fine-quality materials and 'Palace-fronting', which combine to produce a grand and well-detailed classical façade;
* the pilaster-clad domed corner references Newcastle's Central Exchange and illustrates the presence of stylistic influences from Grainger Town;
* a legible and hierarchical original vertical plan-form with basements, ground-floor shops and living accommodation above;
* it retains a range of internal fixtures and fittings including chimney-pieces, joinery and plasterwork.

Echoes In The Wind
Hear that music in the distance? So do I.

What's Current On My Playlists?
Back in the early 1990s, when I was writing for the newspaper in Eden Prairie – a good-sized suburb on the southwestern corner of Minnesota's Twin Cities – I spent a great deal of time at Eden Prairie High School. The stories I found there ranged from the standard menu of sports, drama, music, the prom and more to stuff that only comes along when both the reporter and the sources – the school administration, faculty and the students – are generally comfortable with one another. I may write about some of those less-standard stories sometimes, but what I was going to mention today was that as I covered events and people at the high school, I became friends with a wide range of people – staff, faculty and students alike. And one of the students, a kid named Matt, learned of my interest in music and began to tip me off to new and cool things coming into the music store where he worked.
It was through Matt that I first learned of Hootie & the Blowfish's Cracked Rear View, which isn't in my playlists much anymore but remains a marker that tags some of the better years in my professional life.
Well, all that was fifteen years or more in the past, and Matt's not a kid anymore, of course. I ran into him on Facebook a little while ago – a husband and father now in his mid-thirties – and sent him a birthday greeting, mentioning Hootie and asking who he was listening to these days. He said Jack Johnson, Luka Bloom and Nickel Creek. And he asked what I was listening to. I had to think for a second. What – beyond the music of my youth and the following years – do I listen to now? What's current in my collection?
The first name that came to mind was that of Georgia-born Sharon Jones and The Dap-Kings. Recording on the Brooklyn-based Daptone label, Jones puts out current records that sound like they've been waiting since 1968 to be discovered. She and the Dap-Kings – one of the tightest backing groups around – have released four albums in the past few years, the most recent being I Learned the Hard Way, which came out earlier this year. And there have been a few other bits and pieces here and there, one of which I found when I did a little bit of digging at YouTube. Here's a scorching cover from 2005 of the First Edition's No. 5 hit from 1968, "Just Dropped In To See What Condition My Condition Was In."
Also current on my playlist is the music from Grace Potter and The Nocturnals, a Vermont-based band that performs well-written and well-played rock, much of it built on the foundation of Potters' work on the Hammond B-3 (as well as her alternately supple and powerful vocals). The group put out self-released albums in 2004 and 2005 before signing with Hollywood Records; since then, This Is Somewhere came out in 2007 and Grace Potter & The Nocturnals was released earlier this year. Here's the band's take on the classic "Mystery Train" from 2006 at The 8X10 in Baltimore, Maryland.
As to other new stuff, I've listened very recently to bits of Tom Petty's new release, Mojo, and I've dug a little bit into Cyndi Lauper's very new exploration of the blues, Memphis Blues (it's not bad at all). I'm waiting for new work from the Dukhs, from the Wailin' Jennys and from Ollabelle. And I'm still winding my way through the catalog of a group I found utterly by accident as I got lost clicking around on YouTube one day. I found myself watching and listening to a large choir of young women performing the Rolling Stones' "You Can't Always Get What You Want."
Intrigued, I dug a little further, and I learned that the choir – Scala & Kolacny Brothers – is a Belgium-based organization, a girls choir conducted by Stijn Kolacny with the music arranged by Steven Kolacny, who provides piano accompaniment. The choir mostly performs covers of well-known songs; Wikipedia mentions groups like Radiohead, U2, Nirvana, Depeche Mode and more as the sources for the group's repertoire.
I began clicking and wound up watching a video for the group's performance of "Respire," the title of the group's third album, released in 2004. There have been six more releases since then, including this year's Circle. I've listened to a few of them, but I always keep coming back to "Respire."
(If you're interested, here's a link to a subtitled video of the original version of "Respire," performed by French group Mickey 3D.)

I stumbled on Grace Potter & the Nocturnals' cover of Blondie's Heart of Glass last month and fell in love. I'm also liking "Respire,"so thanks for posting that.

Am Fam Physician. 2012 Nov 15;86(10):897-898.
According to a new survey, U.S. physicians are choosing to work less than they used to. A Survey of America's Physicians: Practice Patterns and Perspectives, conducted by the physician consulting firm Merritt Hawkins on behalf of The Physicians Foundation, questioned 13,575 physicians from March to June 2012. It showed that respondents are working 5.9 fewer hours per week and seeing 16.6 percent fewer patients per day than in 2008. More than 50 percent of physicians said they plan to take steps that would reduce patient access to services, including cutting back on patient load, working part-time, switching to concierge medicine, or retiring. Phil Miller, vice president of communications for Merritt Hawkins, says that these trends are occurring as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act puts pressure on primary care physicians by providing health care coverage to millions more patients. In addition, the survey showed that liability and defensive medicine was respondents' least favorite aspect of practicing medicine, whereas 80 percent of respondents said that patient relationships were the most satisfying part. For more information, visit https://www.aafp.org/news-now/practice-professional-issues/20121016merrittjobsat.html and The Physicians Foundation Web site at http://www.physiciansfoundation.org/uploads/default/Physicians_Foundation_2012_Biennial_Survey.pdf.
Five physician organizations are speaking out against legislation that they say impedes medical professionalism. In an article published in the New England Journal of Medicine, the American Academy of Family Physicians, the American College of Physicians, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the American College of Surgeons assert that certain types of legislation interfere with patient care. This includes laws that keep physicians from discussing risk factors that might affect patients' health, require physicians to discuss practices that may not be necessary or appropriate, require physicians to provide diagnostic tests or medical interventions that are not supported by evidence, and limit the information physicians can disclose to patients or others involved in patient care. The groups call on legislators to put patients' best interests first by respecting scientific evidence, patient autonomy, and the patient–physician relationship. The article cites examples of such laws from numerous states and how they have affected patient care. However, the groups acknowledge the beneficial role the government plays in the country's health care system by appropriately providing essential health services, physician licensing, safety assessment of drugs and medical devices, and funds for medical education and research.

Electronic health records (EHRs) improve the care and outcomes of patients with diabetes mellitus, according to a study published in Annals of Internal Medicine. Using data from the 2005 to 2008 implementation of a certified EHR system in 17 medical centers, the authors of the study were able to assess the effects of EHRs on A1C and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels in nearly 170,000 patients. They determined that EHRs helped improve drug treatment intensification, and monitoring and control of the disease. The greatest benefit occurred in patients with poor disease control. EHRs were associated with significantly reduced A1C and low-density lipoprotein levels, regardless of the level of diabetes control at baseline, although the decreases were greatest in those with higher baseline values. Additionally, an EHR significantly increased retesting in those with poor diabetes control. According to the authors, these results suggest that EHRs may be an important tool to help physicians provide targeted, high-quality care to patients with chronic diseases.

The authors of a report comparing 2011 and 2012 statistics from the National Resident Matching Program say that the family medicine workforce is growing at an insufficient pace to meet the country's needs. Family medicine residency programs offered 2,764 first-year positions in 2012, which is an increase of 34 positions from 2011, and filled 2,611 of them (94.5 percent), up 35 positions from 2011. The report, Results of the 2012 National Resident Matching Program: Family Medicine, was developed by the American Academy of Family Physicians as a snapshot of this year's first-year family medicine residents. A second report from the same authors, Entry of U.S. Medical School Graduates into Family Medicine Residencies: 2011–2012, examined the role of medical schools in producing primary care physicians. The authors point to admission policies as a strategy for increasing the family medicine workforce, suggesting that medical schools admit students who are likely to ultimately practice family medicine. Both reports were published in Family Medicine. For more information, visit https://www.aafp.org/news-now/education-professional-development/20121013matchreport.html.
A recent study of screening and follow-up care for postpartum depression provided in the primary care setting showed improvement in maternal outcomes at 12 months. The study, which was published in Annals of Family Medicine, included 28 family practices in 21 states between March 2006 and August 2010. It compared practices providing usual care and possible referral with practices that received education and a toolkit to assist with providing screening, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up within the practice itself. Women in the intervention group were significantly more likely than those in the usual care group to be both diagnosed with and treated for postpartum depression, and their symptoms of depression were lower at six and 12 months. The lead researcher of the study, Barbara Yawn, MD, says that it would be beneficial for family medicine practices to start screening for postpartum depression as long as follow-up resources are available for patients with a positive screening test result. "In most other studies, women were referred out if they screened positive for postpartum depression," Yawn says. "But most won't go when they're referred for mental health care."

Health Affairs and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation have released a policy brief that assesses public and private pay-for-performance programs, which are expected to expand after the passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The brief provides information about the history of the initiatives and their original focus, which was on quality of care rather than cost control. The brief also addresses some of the issues surrounding pay-for-performance programs, such as how large the rewards should be, how often the rewards should be distributed, and how the improvements in performance can be sustained over time. The authors of the brief conclude that long-term evaluations of these programs are needed. For more information, visit https://www.aafp.org/news-now/news-in-brief/20121017wklynewsbrfs.html#NewsArticleParsys33621 and http://www.healthaffairs.org/healthpolicybriefs/brief.php?brief_id=78.
A newly introduced bill would establish a state-based scholarship program for medical students planning to practice family medicine in underserved areas. Under the Restoring the Doctors of Our Country Through Scholarships Act, H.R. 6400, states would award grants to primary care medical students at state-run medical schools. In exchange, recipients would agree to practice in medically underserved areas for five years after completing residency training in the same state as their residency programs. The federally funded grants would cover all medical school tuition for recipients. The bill, which addresses the shortage of family medicine physicians, aims to produce 20,000 new primary care physicians by 2024. The bill has been referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. For more information, visit https://www.aafp.org/news-now/government-medicine/20121011rdocsbill.html.
In January 2013, Medicare Part D plans will begin retrospectively reviewing patient opioid prescriptions to detect possible abuse. If a patient receives prescriptions from more than four prescribers and fills the prescriptions at more than four pharmacies, the patient's Medicare file will be flagged. Any health care professional who prescribed an opioid to that patient will then be alerted to the potential problem. The goal is to make health care professionals aware of possible opioid abuse and to reduce patient overuse of the drugs.

Here in Edinburgh, I am officially done. School is (technically) over and friends are leaving on holiday. But, considering that exams are only a short ways away and following that is the busy packing-crying-leaving debacle, saying I'm "done" might be a bit of an overstatement.
I realize that I have a bit of time on my hands, but I can't seem to get myself outside long enough to do something actually productive. Recently, the past couple of days have looked like this: wake up, make coffee, study for psychology exams, make lunch, LEAVE MY ROOM (this is more of an ambitious goal), go home, go to bed… and then I do it ALL over again. So I guess what I'm trying to say is, well, I haven't stepped foot in a grocery store for about a week (which means I haven't taken out any cash for a bit longer than that). In other words, I'm a foodless and broke college student. Not the best combination. To top it all off, I am also a foodie, which means ordinary Cup o' Noodles and Easy Mac will not cut it for my taste buds.
So I finally decided that today would be the day – the day that I rummage through my purse, scrounge up as much change as I can find, and make a run to the supermarket for some nutrition. With my £8 in hand and a mind full of recipes, I left my room. When I got back I no longer had any money, but I did have 5 delectable ingredients and a very empty stomach!
Note: If your rice is sticky enough, you can always make rice balls with this recipe – put something in the middle (like a slice of papaya or avocado) and take them with you on a picnic!
Bring 1 ½ cups of water per cup of rice to a boil (for this recipe that's 3 cups of water). Put the rice into the boiling water and cover. The rice should cook for about 40-60 minutes (brown rice cooks slower than white rice).
When all of the water has been absorbed, take the saucepan off the heat and let cool (still covered) for 15 minutes. After the rice has cooled, fluff it. Add salt to your liking. Add the sesame seeds, hazelnuts, and green onions. Add the cubed papaya. Mix together.
Serve on a plate with sliced papaya on the side. Top with a bit of leftover green onion and enjoy!

The file photo shows a sniper of Yemen's Houthi Ansarullah movement.
At least four mercenary soldiers fighting for Saudi Arabia have been killed when the Yemeni army and fighters from the allied Popular Committees carried out a retaliatory attack against the kingdom's southwestern border region of Asir.
An unnamed military source, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Arabic-language al-Masirah television network that Yemeni snipers fatally wounded the mercenaries in the Alab border crossing on Tuesday, two days after sharpshooters also killed five Saudi troops in the same area.
Yemenis also torched a Saudi weapons depot near the crossing by artillery fire.
The source added that Yemeni forces also destroyed a Saudi tank in the Khadra border crossing in the kingdom's southern region of Najran by targeting it with a rocket.
The report further said Yemenis also struck the Shabaka military base and a commanding center of Saudis in Najran with their artillery fire.
Back in April, Arabic-language Yemen Watch news agency reported that in the first quarter of this year, Yemeni forces had killed a total of 119 Saudi soldiers. Most of the operations were conducted in Jizan, where a total of 74 Saudi soldiers were slain. Thirty-five and 10 other Saudi troops were killed in Najran and Asir regions, respectively.
Over the past two and a half years, Yemen has been under heavy airstrikes by Saudi Arabia's warplanes as part of a brutal war against the Arabian Peninsula country in an attempt to crush the popular Houthi Ansarullah movement and reinstall the former president, Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, a staunch ally of Riyadh. More than 12,000 people have been killed since the onset of the campaign, and much of the country's infrastructure, including hospitals, schools and factories, has been ravaged.
The Saudi war has also triggered a deadly cholera epidemic across Yemen. According to data provided by the World Health Organization (WHO) and Yemen's Health Ministry on Tuesday, the country's cholera outbreak, the worst on record in terms of its rapid spread, has infected 612,703 people and killed 2,048 since it began in April, with some districts still reporting sharp rises in new cases.
The UN has already announced that the Saudi war has left some 17 million Yemenis hungry, nearly seven million facing famine, and about 16 million almost without access to water or sanitation.
The United States and Britain have been providing the bulk of the military ordnance used by Saudi Arabia in the war. London has licensed 3.3 billion pounds' worth of weapons since the beginning of the war.
Washington also sealed a multibillion-dollar arms deal with Riyadh when US President Donald Trump made his maiden visit abroad in May. The deal, which is worth $350 billion over 10 years and $110 billion that will take effect immediately, was hailed by the White House as a significant expansion of the security relationship between the two countries.
At least five Saudi troops are killed in a Yemeni retaliatory attack following the kingdom's airstrikes on its impoverished neighbor.

I'm swooning here just from the residuals fees of those memorable and stirring classic K-drama romances. If these three can make a new drama together all my drama goals will be achieved in one fell swoop. Back to the Luck-Key premiere, additional star attendees included Joo Won, Kang Ji Hwan, Oh Joo Wan, Lee Dong Gun (also a Kim Sun Ah former male lead!) and Cha In Pyo who were there for their Laurel Tree Tailors costar Jo Yoon Hee who is one of the leading ladies in Luck-Key along with Lim Ji Yeon.
I don't know what Kim Sun-Ah did to her face but I am loving it.
Kang Ji Hwan is looking good!
Sure is a fine looking man!
K-celebs' red carpet looks always left me scratching my head. I don't understand how they always looked so good in dramas yet frequently looking hideous on the red carpets. Hyun Bin looks mighty fine and despite having a forever soft spot for Kang Ji Hwan, I cannot accept that weird blonde locks on him. His ensemble is great but blonde just won't do for him.
Uhhh…what the heck was up with everyone's wardrobe?! Lol. I'm just sitting here scratching my head, tbh.
my guess is they were locked in some room with a pile of random clothes mens´ and womens mixed and had to get dressed in 10 seconds.
No, no, no! Cha Seung Won and Hyun Bin cannot be in the same drama. I know I'll definitely suffer from serious case of second lead syndrome whoever that it if it happens.
most actors/actress should sack their stylist as they look hideous in those outfit esp joo won, he even had stains on his garment..and what happened to his face. he look different not in a good way? PS maybe?
Joo Won looks so gorgeous..so full of confidence..maturing well…daebak!!

The purpose of the Vigil Program is to support fragile patients, who may otherwise be alone, during their final days or hours. The emphasis is on bringing a sense of peace and calm to the patient at this time.
Volunteers create a serene environment by reading a comforting poem or prayer, listening to soothing music or just sitting quietly holding the patient's hand. Simply being present with the patient is the main focus at this time.
Vigil volunteers are most often requested for those patients who are likely to be alone; however, volunteers may also be asked to support family members who need to take a break from the bedside of their loved one or would like the emotional support of a caring person.
Volunteers receive training in the philosophy of hospice, the role of the volunteer and other staff members and helpful skills for meaningful visits with hospice patients and their families. Additional training specifically related to the vigil visit is provided.
Volunteers are scheduled in shifts of 2-4 hours.

Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini finally launched
Written by Charlotte Kertrestel on 31st May 2013
After Samsung accidentally revealed the specs of its Samsung Galaxy S4 mini this week, the Korean company has finally made the device official.
So how do the official specs measure up to the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini rumours we've been reporting on?
The device has a 4.3 inch HD Super AMOLED screen and is powered by a super-charged 1.7GHz processor- incredible for a mid-range smartphone.
The Galaxy S4 Mini also shares some of the impressive camera features as its bigger brother, the S4, including an 8MP rear facing lens, as well as the Sound & Shot mode, which allows users to accompany still shots with short audio clips. The phone even offers the Story Album feature, allowing users to compile their own professional-looking photo albums.
Other camera features offered with the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini include Night (for low light shots), Best Photo, Best Face, Beauty Face, HDR, Panorama, Sports, and Continuous Shot modes.
The device, as you'd imaging for a miniature version of the S4, is small and lightweight, measuring in at just 8.9mm thick and 107g in weight.
The other key features that the Samsung Galaxy S4 has inherited from its bigger brother is the S Translator app, which allows you to translate both spoken and written text, and S Health, an app which turns your phone into a personal trainer to improve your health, fitness and overall well-being.
JK Shin, CEO and President of IT & Mobile Communication Division at Samsung Electronics said: "We want to give people more choices with Galaxy S4 mini, similar look & feel of Galaxy S4 for more compact and practical usages. The new Galaxy S4 mini provides consumers with a new way to enjoy the flagship Galaxy S4 experience."
The Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini will also be available in both white and black, and is 4G compatible. Dual SIM handsets will be available, though it is still unknown whether this variation will be targeted at a UK market. Although the unveiling of the device has come earlier than expected, Samsung has yet to announce a release date for the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini.
To find out more about the Mini's bigger brother which has already sold 10 million handsets since it was released, check out our latest Samsung Galaxy S4 deals starting at just £30/month, or read our in-depth Samsung Galaxy S4 review.
