Social Inequality in Brazil: The People, Politics and the World Cup
TOPICS:Brazilsocial inequalityworld cup
Posted By: The Corner 10th June 2014
This article was originally published on Fair Observer.
On May 20, bus drivers in São Paulo, Brazil's biggest city, went on strike, closing 11 major terminals and leaving many people stranded. The newspaper A Folha ran a headline that stated: "Protest Hurts the People and Not the Big Shots." After all, the people take the bus, while the political class and the rich do not. In Brazil, the divide between these classes is always visible.
São Paulo, which will be hosting the opening game of the FIFA World Cup on June 12, is the wealthiest state in Brazil and has attracted migrants from other parts of the country, particularly from the poorer north, a region that has generally been ignored by politicians. Of the people who moved to São Paulo, some of them were happy to settle there, while others strived to save enough money to return home. Despite projects starting during the administration of former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva to invest in the northeast, Brazil's wealth is still concentrated in the south.
In addition to significant cultural differences between Brazil's states, the regions differ economically to such a degree that the country resists stereotyping. Even within São Paulo, the sharp divisions between social classes make it difficult to represent the state — or the city of the same name — in one-dimensional terms.
For a certain class of workers in the city of São Paulo, living here means long and sometimes dangerous commutes to and from work. At a restaurant in the affluent neighborhood of Pinheiros, a waiter told me that many of his coworkers take great risks just going home from work every night. They leave the restaurant late, he explained, and since buses run infrequently at that hour, they have to walk long distances, alone, through rough neighborhoods that are only minimally patrolled by an underpaid and ineffective police force.
Another group of Paulistanos — as the people from this city are called — live closer to work, in more central neighborhoods, often in apartment buildings with double-lock gates, security guards and amenities such as gyms and small reception halls. This upper-middle class, who generally never go into the poorer neighborhoods and certainly never into the favelas, can afford to spend an outrageous 30 reais ($13.50) for a sandwich and a coffee at one of the fancier cafés on their way back from work. This class shops at US-style malls, or they fly to New York City or Miami, avoiding high prices in Brazil. However, most of the middle-class — like schoolteachers who earn on average 890 reais ($390) per month — simply do not have access to that lifestyle.
Despite the divisions between them, one thing that all classes of Brazilians — except for the elite political class — seem to share is the feeling of being cheated.
São Paulo, therefore, is a markedly different city for distinct economic classes. The vast majority of Brazilians do not go into the shopping malls frequented by the middle-class. This disparity has given rise to protests such as rolezinhos — excursions organized through social media that bring young people from poor neighborhoods en masse into the shopping centers. Some observers have interpreted this movement as a form of protest against the disparity that exists here, while a great number, including a significant percentage of the Brazilian middle-class, believe these excursions are not ideologically motivated and that young people from the periphery are simply looking to have fun in a rather destructive way. Whatever the impetus for the movement, the rolezinhos are a reflection of a divided country.
Poor Returns
Despite the divisions between them, one thing that all classes of Brazilians — except for the elite political class — seem to share is the feeling of being cheated. The prices for food, clothes and other basic needs are exorbitant, partly due to tax, which can add 80% to the total price of the product. For all they pay, Brazilians feel like they receive few benefits. In a study conducted by the Brazilian Institute for Tax Planning that compared the returns people saw for their taxes in 30 different countries, Brazil ranked lowest on the list.
A recent Pew Research poll found that, in addition to their concerns about the high cost of living, the majority of Brazilians are unhappy with the school systems and find health care severely lacking. According to Brazil's Indicator of Functional Illiteracy, 27% of adults between the ages of 15 and 64 have only rudimentary reading and writing skills. They can read only basic texts like advertisements or short letters and handle only elementary mathematical operations such as simple monetary transactions. Some students who have graduated from public schools enter universities (usually private) and are still functionally illiterate. Underpaid and overworked university professors then face the problem of trying to teach students who cannot write a well-formed paragraph despite having finished high school.
Public hospitals are also in poor shape. Brazil's General Accounting Office recently audited 116 hospitals and found that 64% were operating over capacity. Other problems included poor infrastructure, a shortage of doctors and nurses, and equipment so poorly maintained that it is unusable. At a hospital in the state of Piauí in April, one patient died while being treated on the floor because there were not enough beds.
The Pew Research poll also noted that almost all Brazilians (83%) say that crime is a serious problem. Many Brazilians respond to the constant threat of crime by avoiding large public events, such as the recent Virada Cultural, an all-night festival in the center of São Paulo that featured theater, concerts, dancing and other shows. Despite the presence of over 5,000 guards and military police in the center of the city that night, at least two people were shot and another two stabbed during the event. The army will be policing the streets in Rio and São Paulo during the World Cup.
Security forces face perpetual danger and are poorly paid. The civil police force recently discussed organizing strikes in 13 states. Teachers also feel they are not fairly compensated and have been staging protests. Professors at Brazil's most prestigious university, the Universidade de São Paulo, organized a strike after their salaries were not adjusted for inflation due to lack of funds.
Watching their government invest heavily in new stadiums and aesthetic improvements to infrastructure in advance of the World Cup has aggravated the sense many people have that the state is robbing them of basic necessities: health care, security and education. Groups whose services can immediately affect Brazil's capacity to host a large international event have timed their protests carefully. Metro employees in São Paulo, for example, have shut down the metro just a week before the opening game. A group of military police staged a protest outside Itaquerão stadium on June 4. These groups and others that offer essential services believe the government will more likely cede to their demands now, in order to avoid problems during the World Cup.
World Cup: Cooperate with FIFA
Since Brazil is now enjoying — or suffering from — greater visibility in global media due to the World Cup and because presidential elections are approaching, many groups are taking advantage of the heightened attention to announce their grievances to the world. "Não vai ter Copa" (there will not be a World Cup), some groups threaten, but most know there will be games. They simply want the world to see what is happening.
In April, Mikkel Jensen, an independent Danish journalist, posted an article on his Facebook page saying he was horrified by the human rights violations in Brazil and that, although his dream had been to cover the World Cup, he was leaving the country early. He wrote that poor children were disappearing from the streets of Fortaleza in the government's efforts to clean things up in advance of the tournament.
It is true that people have been evicted from their homes to clear the way for new infrastructure, and there have been numerous reports of human rights abuses in Brazil, particularly in regard to the campaign to pacify the country's favelas. Jensen, however, was unable to cite any reliable sources. Brazilian journalist Luiz Caversan even called the piece farcical.
Despite the problems with Jensen's report, including his decision to leave the country rather than follow up on the story, the piece went viral in Brazil. The number of times it was enthusiastically reposted reflects the desire of many Brazilians to show the world a reality that their government and FIFA would rather hide. Brazilians, however, do not need to rely on Facebook posts to communicate their message. The metro employees standing near the turnstiles carrying giant, threatening batons and wearing all-black uniforms with white writing saying "Cooperate with FIFA" send a clear message.
Brazilians are divided in their attitudes toward the World Cup. Some view the event as an opportunity to announce their frustration to the global media and to their own government. Others are frustrated and saddened by the constant protests, which they see as rooted in petty political games more than as a genuine movement on the part of the people. Others are afraid.
Very few support the World Cup, and some people are even hoping the Brazilian team loses because they feel that victory in soccer would mean a victory for President Dilma Rousseff this October. The current mood is one of apprehension and frustration. It is difficult to predict whether the climate will change when the games begin on June 12, but one thing is certain: The world will see an image of Brazil that is far more complex than beaches and soccer fans.

It's taken you 6-months of hard work, constant changes, reading every shred of information on search engine optimization strategy not to mention thousands of dollars trying out web optimization tools and services.
Finally, you have a page rank of 5, you are listed in the top 10 on your major keywords, and you are seeing the benefit – some decent traffic from Google and other search engines.
Then, as quickly as your search engine optimization strategy begines working, it suddenly, and without notice, disappears!
You frantically look for evidence of dropped links, pages not working, it HAS to be something you've done!
Well, the truth is, it may not have been anything you did – turns out Google updates their algorithms every few months in an attempt to improve it's search engine optimization strategy.
Truth is, your customers search for information based on keywords. Use tools like Wordtracker to find those keywords.
Plan your articles around answering questions associated with each keyword. Over time, you will build highly relevant content that will be irrisistable to the search engines – no matter how they change them.
One single link with a Pagerank (Google's term for ranking sites) of 5 is worth 10 or more sites with a Pagerank of 3.
Avoid FFA's and most link farms, they may actually do you more harm than good.
Too many people rely on Google traffic for 99% of their traffic. It's true, search engine traffic is the most economical way to advertise online, but there are many other ways to vary your traffic generation strategy.
Yes – you need to dance with Google. By following these techniques, you can actually lead your traffic generation strategy rather than follow the Google dance.

There's really only one show in town tonight (and for the next week): Puddlemania.
As recently as the beginning of April, Princess Puddles' appeal was sitting at £14K, a far cry from the £100K that Gail required to get Eileidh to the States for potentially life saving DFMO treatment to prevent her neuroblastoma from coming back. But here we are, ten weeks on and the people of Scotland have done Gail and Eileidh proud: the fund now stands at £110K and only one obstacle stands between the Princess and the big plane. But it's a big one: Eileidh needs to be cancer free before she can go and she's currently undergoing day after day of rigorous tests to find out if that's finally the case. Princess, we are all with you…
An event I would urge you all to get along to is at the Ironworks in Inverness next Friday night: Song For Eileidh is a rock concert to raise funds for the Eileidh Appeal and it's all the work of Bronwen Roberts, Kathleen Roberts and Gail Paterson. There are a host of Highland Indie bands on the line-up and it promises to be a fabulous night. Don't miss out!
They say that hindsight is a wonderful thing. It was way back before Christmas that Neil at Fast Rider Cycles said to me, on one of the many occasions that he had my months old touring bike in for repair "you need to get yersel' a lightweight road bike". I remember thinking at the time "yes, but I only got this bike in March so I can hardly justify another new bike". How wrong I was. The stats tell the story.
Between the start of April 2014 and the end of this same week, I clocked up 2308 miles at an average of 41 for each day that I cycled: that was on my Dawes tourer. Between the start of April 2015 and today, and remember that I'd only been back on the bike for ten days when April came around, the corresponding total sits at 2642 at a daily average of 48.
Seven miles a day further, for each of 55 days, during a period when I started off a stone overweight and puffing like an old steam engine. I had no idea three months ago that the Trek Domane road bike, which weighs in at only 21lb, would make such a difference. I'm not getting up any earlier. I'm not getting home any later. It's just that I'm able to translate that 21lb into miles in a way that I never thought possible at my age (which is somewhat surprising as I rode a Flying Scot for twenty thousand miles in the 90's).
So how did it happen?
Well it's worth recalling that I started out on #LFN on a folding mountain bike. That did me for the first thousand miles (at 30 a day) until the winter of 13/14 when I jumped onto my mountain bike as it suited the winter conditions better. But the MTB was old and clunky and after I'd had various new bits added (new back wheel and new disc brakes for starters), I came to the conclusion that it wasn't going to carry me for 25,000 miles. It carried me for 3,000 miles at 35 a day. So that justified the touring bike in the spring of 2014: "comfort" thought I, I need comfort for the long run. Oh, it delivered comfort alright, but at a cost of 32lb and going up hills, you really notice it. #LFN delivers a minimum of 2,000ft of climbing every day so that 32lb of equipment weighs heavily on your legs when you're climbing or fighting a gale. By comparison, 21lb is featherlight.
So how does the difference translate into miles? Simple: it's speed for no extra effort.
The first four miles in the morning carries the burden of a 500ft climb (separated out into six wee climbs), albeit that in the main the wind is either across or off the right shoulder. Then for the next twelve miles, across the Fenwick Muir, the Trek is like a feather on the breeze. Yeah, I have to work some days, but in the main it's a massive clog that you just get caught up in. Floak is the high point, by which time the ascent has climbed beyond 700ft (see what I did there?) before a long steady descent down through Newton Mearns delivers me into Giffnock at around 6:30am. In the old days, Giffnock was 6:40 to 45 so armed with these extra minutes, I turn them into miles. I've got into the habit of chucking a loop of Pollok Park into my route into work, even though it's not actually on the direct route. I love the park because there's zero traffic, the occasional jogger, a dawn chorus, squirrels scavenging about and even fallen trees (last October's wee incident). Throw in a fast, flat loop of Shawlands on empty streets and 26 or 27 miles has become commonplace. A year ago it was 21 or 22.
The return run is unfortunately payback time. Whereas the heavy bike provides stability into the prevailing wind, the Domane gets chucked about like a wee leaf. It's both challenging and existential. Just get the bike home is always the motto. But overall , the 41's and 42's of a year ago have suddenly translated into 46's, 47's and 48's today. 200 a week back then has become 240 now. It's a hell of a difference and it's eating up the road at a rate of knots. But it has come at a cost: the new bike is only three months old and already it's back in the bike hospital, having worn out chain number one. Three thousand miles is seemingly all you get these days. Whatever the fact, it's better to err on the side of safety and change it now rather than risk a mechanical failure up on the Muir.
There was a time last summer when I saw the opportunity to complete #LFN in three years instead of four, only for my hernia operation to rob me of nine weeks and put the end date well into Q1 of the fourth year: not any more. Progress has accelerated to such an extent that completion by this time next year looks almost certain so long as the snow and ice do me a favour this coming winter. It starting to look like June 2016 could be spent back on the bus…
I've been thinking quite a bit this week about how this journey will actually end, because it seems a bit limp to just ride into work one day and declare "well, that's me done 25,000 so that's it". I want the finale to have a wee bit more pzazz than that…
So you won't be surprised to learn that I'm thinking of bowing out with a bit of a bang, a 24 hour non-stop ride. One that fits the bill for all the right reasons is Belfast to Forres (apart from the bit where you have to get the ferry from Larne to Troon). It'll be branded as #OscarToEileidh. By why 250 miles for Gord's sake? Because it's difficult, that's why. I don't know whether I can do it but I sure as hell intend to give it my best shot. Just like Princess Puddles these last twelve months.
Door to door it's close to 250 miles, which would be a personal record, eclipsing the 237 that I clocked when I cycled from Manchester to Glasgow for Action Research in 1994. The route is also special because whilst it has Oscar at one end and Eileidh at the other end, Vanessa, Alfie and McKenzie lie in between. It feels like an A-Z route of kids who've battled neuroblastoma around the time that I've been on the road and it it's my chance to have one final blast that says "kids, I did this for you". Doing it south to north maximises the chance of picking up a favourable prevailing south westerly tailwind, and that in turn will make the difference between a 10mph average and a 12mph average which translates into a difference of four hours on the road.
When? Probably end of May next year, but that very much depends on what kind of winter we have and how inhospitable the Fenwick Muir decides to make itself.
And the more I think about it, the more I realise that it would be a fitting finale because when I set out, I knew nothing of the difficulties that lay ahead, just as Gail knew nothing back in August 2013, when I started out, of how her life would be turned upside down by the journey that lay ahead.
Live for today, plan for tomorrow and celebrate Puddlemania.


Medications that can stimulate your dog's appetite.
If none of these options are successful or possible, a feeding tube can be placed. Feeding tubes are also necessary with specific medical conditions.
A feeding tube is a soft tube made of silicone or similar material that allows food to be given to a patient while bypassing the mouth. Depending on the solution chosen by your veterinarian, the tube can enter the body and end up in various locations in the gastrointestinal tract. The type of tube chosen depends upon the condition and illness of your dog. The type of food chosen is determined by your veterinarian and is specific to your dog's needs.
What are your feeding tube options?
A naso-gastric tube (NG tube) is a flexible and narrow tube that is placed from a nostril into the esophagus (the tube between the throat and the stomach). This is done with minimal sedation and a local anesthetic (numbing agent) in the nostril. The tube is secured with stitches or sutures. This is one of the simplest and least invasive tubes to place, but is not intended for long-term use. Due to its small diameter, veterinarians can only feed a liquid diet in order to avoid clogging the tube.
Placing an esophagostomy tube (E tube) requires general anesthesia. A small incision is made in the skin of the neck and the tube is placed into the esophagus. The larger diameter increases our feeding options. This tube can be kept in place longer than an NG tube.
This tube is not intended for long-term use.
Can feeding tubes cause other complications?
The easiest way to prevent accidental removal of a feeding tube is to avoid having the tube get caught by using an E. collar or a similar device around the dog's neck.
On rare occasions, gastrostomy and jejununostomy tubes can leak into the abdomen and cause a severe infection.
All options and risks should be discussed with your veterinarian. Nutrition plays an extremely important role in your dog's recovery. Fortunately, we have many options to choose from for your dog's benefit.
What tricks can I use at home?
Would medications help my dog eat?
Is a feeding tube a good solution?

POPULAR BALLAD: "NEVER FORGET YOUR PARENTS"
The people was quite gay.
She was an honest girl.
You would not have been born.
Some parents they had had.
Both men and ladies did shed tears.
By looking at his face.
They had not saw in years.
Their eyes they was quite red.

Dallas, Tex. (NBC News) — Remembered for their courage and dedication, the Dallas, Texas community gathered Wednesday to say goodbye to three of the five police officers killed in last Thursday's deadly sniper attack.
Separate services were held honoring each officer.
DART policeman Brent Thompson, a former Marine, left behind six children and a wife of two weeks.
Dallas Police Sgt. Michael Smith, a 28 year department veteran, also served seven years in the Army.
Officer Lorne Ahrens, a father of two, was known for his smile and dependability, a big guy with an even bigger heart.

If you strike me down I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine, claims Corbyn
LABOUR leader Jeremy Corbyn has told Theresa May that if she strikes him down, then it is she who will truly have lost.
The wise elder, who spent decades in the wilderness, told the prime minister that he may seem old and his powers weak, but that she cannot win this battle.
He continued: "My body may fall, but my beliefs will become stronger than ever. A new flame of socialism will be kindled throughout the galaxy.
"By inviting this fight you have done nothing but hasten your own end."
But justice secretary Liz Truss said: "No, I've seen this one. Do it.
"He just turns into a blue ghost. They're not even scary in Pac-Man."
May confident Britain's rabid, insane press will never turn on her
THE prime minister remains secure in her belief that Britain's frothing, maniacal tabloids will always be on her side, no matter what.
Theresa May, who has looked approvingly on while the press has declared the judiciary traitors, fellow politicians saboteurs and agitated for war with Spain, knows that they would never do anything to hurt her.
She said: "The Daily Mail's just a big softy really.
"Certainly it's horrendously brutal towards opposition leaders, and foreigners, and Scotland, and the poor, and any Tories who disagree with it even slightly, savaging anyone who crosses it even slightly, but it wouldn't do that to me.
"I'm confident that even if I didn't get exactly the Brexit deal it wants and we have to allow some immigration to keep our industries going, it'd understand and wouldn't without warning go for my throat, not stopping until I was dead.
"We're not just a vicious, neo-fascist media giant and its current pet politician. We're genuinely friends."

Inside the Flame Nebula

Explanation: The Flame Nebula stands out in this optical image of the dusty, crowded star forming regions toward Orion's belt, a mere 1,400 light-years away. X-ray data from the Chandra Observatory and infrared images from the Spitzer Space Telescope can take you inside the glowing gas and obscuring dust clouds though. Swiping your cursor (or clicking the image) will reveal many stars of the recently formed, embedded cluster NGC 2024, ranging in age from 200,000 years to 1.5 million years young. The X-ray/infrared composite image overlay spans about 15 light-years across the Flame's center. The X-ray/infrared data also indicate that the youngest stars are concentrated near the middle of the Flame Nebula cluster. That's the opposite of the simplest models of star formation for the stellar nursery that predict star formation begins in the denser center of a molecular cloud core. The result requires a more complex model; perhaps star formation continues longer in the center, or older stars are ejected from the center due to subcluster mergers.

The Jet 14 sailboat is a One-Design racing dinghy. The fleets are organized by the Jet 14 Class Association, which is broken into four divisions based upon geographical locations of the fleets. District I is in New Jersey, District II is in Ohio, District III is in Maryland, and District IV is in upstate New York. A variety of events are held for the jets all year, with the major events being the Silver Chevron competition and the Jet 14 Nationals. Clubs often host other Jet 14 regattas during the sailing season that all members of the Class Association and people wishing to learn more about sailing are welcome to attend.
2 History of the Class Association
The Jet 14 traces its origins back to the early 1950s, when several skippers were complaining about the state of one-design racing. The boats of the era were either too big or too small, too tricky or too slow, most were far too expensive and of the remaining classes many were not particularly adherent to the One-Design principles. It was because of these issues and dissatisfaction that the first of the Jet 14s were created.
The Jet 14 was based around several principles. All boats had to have strict adherence to the One-Design rules in regards to speed-producing elements, had to have good performance both all-around and when planing, have minimal initial and maintenance costs, and be easy to transport from one location to another.
Howard Siddons created the first Jet 14 in 1955 by combining the sailing rig of a Snipe with the hull design of an Uffa Fox International 14. The hulls were readily available, had low maintenance costs, and were capable of planing under the right conditions. The design worked exceptionally well, and Siddons, with the help of Harry Sindle, created the first of the Jet 14 boats.
Siddons came up with a hull design that was modified in the interior in order to minimize maintenance and building difficulties. The hull was decked over to keep water from coming into the boat, the spars were kept solid, and sail tracks were added in order to make things easier for amateur boat builders. A metal centerboard was used in order to eliminate expensive and cumbersome lead castings that were used for weight and balance with the boats. Plans, patterns, and instructions were then created so that sailors could build their own boats from stock materials available at any lumber yard if they so desired.
The boat design was incredibly balanced. While the boat was initially believed to be too powerful for adolescents, it was soon determined that some of the design features made it quite adaptable for crews of all shapes and sizes. The metal centerboard lowered the center of gravity, making capsizing more difficult. The smaller sail plan made handling in rough weather easier for smaller crews, and even if the boat did capsize, they will typically float on edge instead of turtling. Because of the size and balance of a boat, crews do not need to include a large member (often called a gorilla) to help keep control in foul weather, like larger two-person boats often do.
The Class association has added some modifications since the initial implementation of the boat's design. Fiberglass hulls first began appearing in 1960, followed by aluminum spars in 1962. The addition of self-rescue or "tanked" boats (so called for the built-in flotation tanks) occurred in 1965. None of these additions particularly affected the speed of the boat, but in 1970, the Class Association approved the use of a spinnaker in the Nationals, as well as a mid-boom traveler and furling gear.
History of the Class Association
The Class Association was started April 17th, 1955 to manage the business side of the class, such as expenses, organization of regattas, and protecting the one-design features of the Jet 14. The official boat specifications were established in 1956. Members of the class association had to pay dues, which covered various administrative and legal costs (such as registering the Jet-14 trademark in 1957), and official measurement certificates were drawn up and distributed. A constitution and by-laws were established for the Class as well. The first Class newsletter, "Jet Blasts," was published and a regatta schedule was created.
The Class Association continues to watch over and improve all aspects of Jet-14 sailing. From the approval of use for the spinnaker (1970), to the 720 rule (1974 Nationals) to the addition of the Silver Chevron Regatta (1976), the class continues to promote good sailing values for all of its member fleets. The class celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2005 and currently sanctions nearly 30 regattas per year. The Senior and Junior National Championships are contested each August.
Beginning in mid-2007, new Jet-14 sailboats have been produced by Allen Boat Company, of Buffalo, New York. Over 1,150 boats have been made by many different builders. There are currently 8 active fleets.
Based on the hull of the International 14 (I-14), a former Olympic class boat, the Jet is a plum-bow two-person sloop-rigged sailboat. The Jet 14 provides moderate-level performance for a dinghy sailboat. It does not require features such as a trapeze harness, although the hull is capable of planing.
The Jet 14 has a 2008 Portsmouth Yardstick rating of 97.2.

Q: How to check if you clicked the close button on the window? (Ruby) I just want to ask what command in Ruby allows you to check if an application made in Ruby or running application is about to be closed? For example, I have an executable file that i ran and I clicked the close button on the window. I want to make a pop up of a dialog that says "you are about to close". Once you pressed the OK button, the window finally closes.
How can you do this in Ruby?

A: I don't know how things work in Ruby, but in general, on Windows, when a window receives a request to close, its window procedure receives a  WM_CLOSE message.  This is the place to display prompts to the user.  If the app then wants to block the window from closing (because the user wants to reject it, etc), the app can simply skip destroying the window, and not pass the message on to the default message handler (DefWindowProc()).
In the case where the user clicks on the window's close button, or chooses the "Close" option from the window's pop-up system menu, or presses ALT-F4 while the window is in focus, the window receives a WM_SYSCOMMAND(SC_CLOSE) message, and if the message is passed on to the default message handler, the window then receives the WM_CLOSE message.
Take that information and translate it to Ruby as needed.

Last week, we let you vote on which of the 6 best smartphones of the moment takes the best photos in several different situations. Of course, there was no bias, since it was a blind test and the order of the photos was totally random in each section. The people have spoken, and the results may surprise you.
The world of photography is an art. Therefore, it is full of subjective points and depends a lot on personal taste. But on the other hand, it also has features that can be measured objectively, like the focus or dynamic range, not to mention the specifications of the camera.
I should say first that they all take great photos and there is a good quality jump from the lower range. That said, the LG V30s ThinQ, which is a new version of the V30 with AI enhancements, is number 1 only in two sections, but still ranks best overall. On its heels is the iPhone X in second place. Tied for third place is Google's Pixel 2 and Sony's XZ2 Compact. And, in last place, we have the S9/S9+ from Samsung and Huawei's P20 Pro. The latter was ranked best camera of the moment by DxOMark, showing the contradiction I mentioned above.
While the Galaxy S9 didn't fare so well overall, the colors of the fruits in this scene shined enough to win it first place for the category. Samsung has clearly done something right with the color representation and dynamic range here, although the race was nearly tied with the LG V30s, iPhone X and XZ2 Compact.
The Google smartphone only has one camera (with a Sony sensor), but for a software giant, it offers photos with extraordinary quality. In this image we can see the shapes of the clouds and the windows in the shadows clearly. The Pixel 2 portrays the scene very faithfully.
The iPhone X secured the most votes for the backlight scene, and I must say it was hardly a contest compared to the other cameras' results. I do think it flattens the shadows too much, in fact there are hardly any left in the photo, but of course it is the photo where the whole scene is best seen.
In the portrait scene, we were looking for the best skin tone and also the performance of the bokeh effect on the phones where it was available. For the LG V30s ThinQ, the skin tone is fairly accurate, but there isn't a lot of detail compared to the shot taken with the XZ2 Compact, for example. The lack of detail is either a good or bad thing, depending on how sensitive you are about your own wrinkles, I suppose.
Here the LG device wins by a landslide with almost 50% of the vote. I must admit that the scene was much darker to the human eye than what the LG V30s captured. For the little information that the sensor could receive, the colors are the most accurate.
What do you think of the results? Were you surprised?
i don't believe these results. i've seen hundreds of images from each of these cameras, and LG hasn't even been on the map with their tiny sensors. pixel2 takes the win most of the time. s9 takes the best low light pics. if LG wins here there were mistakes made in photo selection.
I gotta be honest. I didn't particularly like most of the picture selections. I think, aside from the fruit, the pictures were all very bland, and I didn't even like the DSLR reference shots. Pretty much all of these pictures from every camera, would have been deleted from my Photos app had I shot them. Not trying to be mean, but I just thought they were dull lifeless photos overall, and honestly aside from eliminating a few obviously bad shots, there wasn't much variance in the pictures, and I think this is just seriously due to the poor selection of subjects to test the pictures. (No offense to the individuals who posed...it's not them.). I bet if you repeated this same test with a different batch of pictures, you'd get an entirely different result.
Now the V30 has gotten the ThinQ update for the camera improvements.
Would it be possible to publish what smartphone belonges to what photo? Not just the winning ones.
Wow, is your bias showing. Lots of back-handed compliments to the V30. You're clearly disappointed the LG won.
To be honest I am surprised that the LG got such good scores. In all fairness, the V30 probably doesn't have the best allround camera out there. However I am going to upgrade from my (boring) Samsung. Galaxy S7 to LG because I happily trade (boring) allround camera and audio quality for the awesomeness in having a wide angle lens and a quad-dac onboard. I mean there isn't a phone that has it all, but only LG has these two features in one phone.
Now the V30 has the ThinQ update.

Ryan May Be Inviting Trouble for Trump by Comments on Iran Deal: Larijani
Iran's Parliament (Majlis) speaker says United States House Speaker Paul Ryan may be trying to invite hassle for US President-elect Donald Trump by speaking against a multi-lateral nuclear agreement with the Islamic Republic and thereby risking Tehran's reaction.
Speaking on Tuesday, Ali Larijani, the Iranian Parliament speaker, recounted the numerous statements verifying Iran's commitment to the nuclear deal, including by American officials, and said Ryan's hostile attitude toward the deal in spite of all such verification may be a sign that he harbors ulterior motives.
Larijani reminded that the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the United Nations (UN), the European Union (EU), as well as various high-level US officials had on dozens of occasions verified Iran's commitment to the deal.
"One should ask the speaker of the US House of Representatives whether so many remarks confirming Iran's implementation of its commitments aren't enough?" Larijani said.
"Are you unaware of this many comments confirming Iran's compliance? That would be regrettable, and seems unlikely," he added, addressing Ryan. "[But,] if you are making such untrue comments [about Iran] with knowledge of all the verification, then one should look into your motives."
Larijani then said that Ryan, a former rival to Trump in the presidential race, may be seeking to invite trouble for the now-president-elect.
"Perhaps, Mr. Ryan — who used profanities to describe Trump during the recent election in the US — is seeking to cause such conditions as to put the new US president in serious trouble from the start, because Iran will bring the US back to its senses with countermeasures," Larijani said, referring to the potential solemn steps that Iran would take in case the Trump administration moved to violate or scrap the deal unilaterally.
Known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), the deal was struck in July 2015 between Iran and the P5+1 group of countries, namely the US, Britain, Russia, France, China, plus Germany.
It introduced certain restrictions on Iran's nuclear activities in exchange for the lifting of all nuclear-related sanctions against the Islamic Republic.
Ryan has previously accused Iran of trying to obtain nuclear weapons by seizing on what he claims is the latitude it has been offered as a result of the deal. He has also claimed that the outgoing administration of President Barack Obama has put the Islamic Republic on the path to obtaining atomic weapons by investing in the diplomacy that helped bring the agreement about.
Iran has on numerous occasions made it clear that it does not seek such weapons. The Islamic Republic agreed to the JCPOA in part to make that case.
Nevertheless, Trump, a business millionaire for whom the US presidency will be his first elected office, remains likely to harm the deal. During the campaign for the presidency, he threatened he would "tear up" the agreement; but, he has made no comments on matters relating to Iran since November 8, when he actually won the election.

Of course, because we are human beings, there will be times when we will disengage from the patient in some way or another. Our minds may wander, we may put up an emotional wall, or something a patient says will trigger something from our own history that temporarily distracts us from what they're communicating.
But there are also more subtle ways that we sometimes disengage from patients without knowing it.
We are trained to decode client behaviors because understanding why people do what they do is often an important first step in encouraging change. The meanings we are able to make out of the things they feel, do, and say is very often clinically relevant, useful for case formulation, and important to steering the direction of treatment.
But analysis has its limits. The meanings we come up with don't necessarily need to be shared directly with patients, for example, but can be kept in our back pocket as a way to guide the kinds of questions we ask and the areas of focus in sessions.
Because most psychotherapists are naturally interested in understanding why people do the things they do and making meaning from internal events and behaviors, we are more likely than other people to intellectualize both our own problems and those of our clients.
But it's important to recognize that the temptation to analyze is sometimes a defense against feelings things we'd rather not feel. A patient might bring up something that hits close to home or simply feels too intense to bear. In that case, we may fall back on analysis as a way to distance ourselves from what the client's story brings up in us. Analysis is often important, but left unchecked, it can be just another way we subtly disengage from clients.
There are conflicting theories and beliefs in the psychotherapy field about how much personal information a therapist should communicate in sessions, and how much they should share through facial expressions and body language.
Some clinicians believe that any amount of expression is inappropriate, while others believe that sharing personal details about their own lives can be incredibly powerful in forging a strong, therapeutic alliance. Whichever camp you belong to, if you express as anything less than human—for example, emotionless, unaffected, unfazed by intense suffering—you may be creating distance between yourself and the patient that may hinder the process and make it more challenging to build an authentic connection.
Again, you can put yourself in the client's shoes to consider why this might be important. Think about sharing a horrendous story from your childhood—perhaps something you've never told anyone before. You muster the courage to share it with someone and the person stares back at you with a blank expression. Even with verbal validation, a straight face appears to be untouched by the experience thereby risking the possibility of making the patient feel that his or her story was "not that bad," after all.
Many of us are in the mental health field because of our own experience with mental health challenges whether firsthand or secondary. For that reason, it can be tempting to think we know exactly how a client feels or have "been there." But when we project our own experiences onto patients, we can negate or invalidate the details of their experience that are unique to them, dismissing important information about their circumstances that are crucial to their treatment or recovery process.
Overlaying our own "stuff" onto clients' experiences is yet another way of unconsciously disengaging from what they're truly expressing and what they need.
If you connect with some of what the client is saying, notice that. But also know that anytime that happens, you are at a heightened risk for projecting your own experience onto him and thereby distancing and disengaging from being present to the person.
