History - SOS Evasan S.A.
History of Evasan. Learn more about us.
On September 14, 1995, the Federal Department of Justice and Police authorized SOS EVASAN S.A. to provide special insurance, class No.18 "Assistance" (FOSC n°5322-186), insuring the travellers according to the definition stated in the European classification of insurance risks.
The seat of the company was established in Geneva, Switzerland, a city highly symbolic for its humanitarian activities, its multicultural spirit and international nature. Initially, the activity of Evasan was focused on travellers coming from areas where the needs for assistance and insurance during displacement were traditionally present. Thus, its first markets were the European countries in transition and the Middle East states.
Thereafter, Evasan designed products intended specifically to fulfil the legal requirements of the Schengen area, which attracted new customers and provided a net competitive advantage. Evasan is now leader for Schengen visa travel insurance.
Being among the Swiss leaders of travel insurance and having a world network of agents and partners, Evasan nevertheless succeeded in keeping its humanitarian perspective. It enables Evasan to always remain in close touch with their customers and to provide them with services fully considering their specific needs.
In December 2004, in order to optimize its communication network, the head office of Evasan was moved to Vich, between Lausanne and Geneva, on the shores of Lake Geneva.
Today, more than one million people are covered by Evasan's travel insurance and assistance during their trips to the four corners of the world.

Florida Prayer in Public Schools Laws
The issue of prayer in public schools has consistently proven to be a divisive issue around the country. This hot-button issue pits the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment against the freedom of expression. Some states have no statutory provisions for school prayer and tend to rely on federal law, which allows limited prayer as long as it doesn't alienate any one group of students.
In 2012, Florida stepped right into this controversial issue when Gov. Rick Scott signed a politically-motivated law authorizing school prayer. The burden was left with school districts to decide whether to allow students to pray or deliver "inspirational messages." By most accounts, school districts are ignoring the law.
See the table and in-depth summary below to learn more about Florida's prayer in public school law. For more information, see FindLaw's Religion at School section for related articles.
Applicable Code Section 1003.45
Who Enforces What? Individiual school districts may decide whether to allow brief periods not to exceed two minutes, for the purpose of silent prayer or meditation
The Establishment Clause of the United States Constitution
The First Amendment's Establishment Clause prohibits public schools, who are considered agents of the government, from performing two specific and conflicting actions: encouraging students to practice religion and restricting students from practicing religion. For this reason, many types of school prayers are prohibited in public schools.
Since the 1960s, the United States Supreme Court has consistently ruled that public school prayer, non-secular Bible reading, and similar religious practices in schools violate the First Amendment. The Supreme Court has not, however, banned voluntary and private practice of religion by students in schools. For that reason, many states, such as Florida, have passed laws that permit moments of silent reflection. Since students are not required to pray during the moment of silence, these laws are a state's way of accommodating a student's right to practice religion without explicitly endorsing religion.
Florida State Law
Section 1003.45 of the Florida Statutes governs prayer in public schools in Florida. It gives individual school districts to the power to decide whether to allow brief periods of silent prayer or meditation (not to exceed two minutes). The moment of reflection may be at the start of each school day or each school week.

Palgrave MacmillanKanye West doesn't need inspiration to display his ego, but now he has two more reasons to boast: a new currency named after him, and a university textbook inspired by his career.
They added "We'd love if Kanye named dropped Coinye. I think he's gonna love that there's a CURRENCY named in his honor. We don't want to pay him off to name check us, but it'd be sick if he does so. In fact, we're making an open invitation to Kanye: Get hold of us at coinyewest.com and we'll send you 100,000 COINYE on launch. A hundred thousand. Bitcoin started small too, and now look where it's at." West has not endorsed Coinye.
The Cultural Impact of Kanye West will be published March 6 and sells for $95.

Počevši od maja 1968. godine, širom Francuske je došlo do perioda građanskih nemira, koji su trajali oko sedam nedelja i koji su vršeni demonstracijama, opštim štrajkovima i okupacijom univerziteta i fabrika. Na vrhuncu događaja, koji su od tada postali poznati kao maj 68, francuska ekonomija je zaustavljena. Protesti su dostigli tačku u kojoj su se politički lideri pribojavali građanskog rata ili revolucije; nacionalna vlada je nakratko prestala da funkcioniše nakon što je predsednik Šarl de Gol u jednom trenutku tajno pobegao iz Francuske u Nemačku. Ovi protesti su podstakli pokrete širom sveta, pesmama, maštovitim grafitima, plakatima i sloganima.

Neredi su počeli nizom studentskih okupacijskih protesta protiv kapitalizma, konzumerizma, američkog imperijalizma i tradicionalnih institucija. Snažna policijska represija protiv demonstranata naterala je francuske sindikalne konfederacije da pozovu na štrajkove solidarnosti, koji su se raširili mnogo brže nego što se očekivalo i obuhvatili 11 miliona radnika, što je više od 22% ukupnog stanovništva Francuske u to vreme. Pokret je bio karakterisan spontanim i decentralizovanim plahovitim dejstvima; ovo je stvorilo niz sukoba, ponekad čak i internih sukoba između sindikata i levičarskih partija. Bio je to najveći generalni štrajk ikada pokrenut u Francuskoj, i prvi spontani nacionalni generalni štrajk.

Događaji u maju

Studentski štrajkovi

Posle višemesečnih sukoba između studenata i vlasti na Nanterskom kampusu Univerziteta u Parizu (sada Pariski univerzitet Nanter), administracija je 2. maja 1968. zatvorila univerzitet. Studenti na Sorbonskom kampusu Univerzitetu u Parizu (danas Sorbonski univerzitet) sastali su se 3. maja u Parizu kako bi protestovali protiv zatvaranja i pretnje proterivanja nekoliko studenata iz Nantera. U ponedeljak, 6. maja, nacionalna unija studenata, -{Union Nationale des Étudiants de France}- (-{UNEF}-) - još uvek u današnje vreme najveća studentska unija u Francuskoj - i unija univerzitetskih nastavnika sazvali su marš u znak protesta protiv policijske invazije Sorbone. Više od 20.000 učenika, nastavnika i pristalica marširalo je prema Sorboni, koju je policija opkoljavala. Policija je papala povorku pendrecima, čim se približila. Dok se gomila uglavnom raspršila, neki su počeli da stvaraju barikade od svega što je bilo pri ruci, a deo je bacao kaldrmsko kamenje po žandarmima, prisiljavajući ih da se povuku na neko vreme. Policija je zatim uzvratila suzavcem i ponovo se stuštila na okupljene. Više stotina studenata je uhapšeno.

Unije srednjoškolskih učenika su izrazile podršku neredima 6. maja. Sledećeg dana pridružili su se učenicima, nastavnici i u sve većem broju mladi radnici. Oni su se okupili kod Trijumfalne kapije, i zahtevali su da se:
 sve krivične prijave protiv uhapšenih studenata odbace,
 policija napusti univerzitet, i
 vlasti ponovo otvore Nanter i Sorbonu.

Pregovori su propali, a studenti su se vratili na svoje kampuse nakon lažne dojave da je vlada pristala da ih ponovo otvori, samo da bi otkrili da policija još uvek zaposeda škole. To je dovelo do gotovo revolucionarne razjarenosti među studentima.

U petak 10. maja, još jedna velika masa naroda se okupila na Riv Gožu. Kada su ih snage bezbednosti ponovo blokirale na prelazu reke, gomila je ponovo podigla barikade, koje je policija potom napala u 2:15 ujutro, nakon što su pregovori ponovo bili neuspešni. Sukob koji je rezultirao stotinama uhapšenih i povređenih, trajao je do zore sledećeg dana. Događaji su emitovani na radiju dok su se odvijali, a ishodi su prikazivani na televiziji sledećeg dana. Pojavile su se optužbe da je policija učestvovala u neredima, putem agenata provokatora, paljenjem automobila i bacanjem Molotovljevih koktela.

Hackensack, N.J., May 25, 2007 – The National Audubon Society honored children's environmental health advocate Deirdre Imus with its 2007 Rachel Carson Award for her leadership in improving the environment. Ms. Imus is President and founder of The Deirdre Imus Environmental Health Center™
The mission of the Environmental Health Center is to identify, control and ultimately prevent toxic exposures in the environment that threaten our children's health.
Deirdre Imus received the award as founder of the Greening the Cleaning® program, and "a pioneer inspiring parents and schools to clean using non-toxic products. Imus has convinced more than 200 institutions nationwide to switch to green cleaning products and her work has led directly to three "Green Cleaning" executive orders that will vastly improve the health of millions of children," according to an Audubon Society press release.
Citing recent statistics on childhood cancers, asthma and learning disorders, Ms. Imus said she is motivated by the appalling state of children's health. "Cures are hard to come by, but if we as individuals begin to concentrate on prevention and eliminating toxins from our homes and work environments, then I believe we will begin to see real progress."
Ms. Imus was one of four women to receive the award Tuesday at the fourth annual Women in Conservation Luncheon in New York City. Other recipients were: Frances Beinecke, President, Natural Resources Defense Council; Majora Carter, Founder and Executive Director of Sustainable South Bronx; and Laurie David, Global Warming Activist and Producer.
"Audubon is honored to present its Rachel Carson Award to these four awe-inspiring women," said John Flicker, president of the National Audubon Society. "As one of the leading conservation organizations in the country, Audubon is dedicated to the preservation of our planet, and {these women] are all committed to this very same goal.
Ms. Imus has made numerous national appearances in recent weeks to talk about her new book, now a New York Times bestseller. Green This! Volume 1: Greening Your Cleaning (Simon & Schuster) offers a wealth of insights and expertise for protecting families from harmful chemicals. One hundred percent of all profits go to the Imus Cattle Ranch for Kids with Cancer. "Start with Just One Thing" "Don't get overwhelmed thinking about 'greening.' Start with just one thing, whether it's a cleaning product or a food that you or your family enjoys. For example, eating an organic apple is not just good for you -- it eliminates synthetic fertilizers and pesticides from the environment. And when you buy organic, you help create a market for green products," Ms. Imus said.
The Deirdre Imus Environmental Health Center™ developed the award-winning Greening the Cleaning® program. Greening the Cleaning means eliminating to the greatest extent possible all cleaning agents containing hazardous ingredients and replacing them with environmentally responsible ingredients with the least level of toxicity. One hundred percent of all profits from the institutional products go to the Center for education and research to identify, control and ultimately prevent exposures to environmental factors that may cause adult, and especially pediatric cancer, as well as other health problems with our children. On the retail line, 100 percent of all profits go to the Imus Cattle Ranch for Kids with Cancer. The household products are available in stores nationwide and online from www.imusranchfoods.com.
Deirdre is also co-founder and co-director with husband, Don Imus, of The Imus Cattle Ranch for Kids with Cancer, a 501(C) (3) not-for-profit authentic 4,000 acre working cattle ranch in northern New Mexico, which provides the experience of the American cowboy to children suffering from cancer and various blood diseases, as well as to children who have lost a brother or sister to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Numerous organizations have recognized Ms. Imus' impact. Earlier this month, she was named to the board of directors of The National Autism Association, and named a "Champion for Autism" by The Autism Education Foundation of the Morris-Union Jointure Commission. She also received an honorary doctorate of Humane Letters from Pace University.

Soap Opera Site Acquired By Women's Network
By Kristen Nicole 2007-11-12 11:52:59 UTC
SheKnows, a network of online properties geared towards the female demographic, has acquired Soaps.com. The soap opera site that touts 600,000 uniques per month, and will offer more content for the growing network, which already covers topics such as health, parenting, entertainment and food. SheKnows is not only looking to expand its user base, but is looking to distinguish itself from other women-related networks, like Glam. It's doing so by owning and managing most of its sub-properties.
Is that the better tactic? I suppose it depends on what your end goals are. For Glam and SheKnows, ad distribution is very important, but Glam maximizes its outreach without needing to own all of the sites on which its ads are sent out to. The same goes for content that's accessible through the distributed network. Nevertheless, branding seems ultimately important for SheKnows, and in owning the majority of the content providers within its network, it retains control over all aspects of content and ad distribution.
In other news, Glam has teamed up with Lifetime to build up its Managed Vertical Network.

Dmitri Tymoczko (b. 1969, Cambridge, Massachusetts) is a composer and music theorist who teaches at Princeton University. His book A Geometry of Music (Oxford) has been described as "a tour de force" (The Times Literary Supplement), a "monumental achievement" (Music Theory Online), and, potentially, a modern analogue to Schoenberg's Harmonielehre (The Musical Times). His two CDs, Beat Therapy ("far reaching yet utterly entertaining," Newmusicbox) and Crackpot Hymnal ("ebullient … polystylistic … kinetic … vividly orchestrated and vibrantly paced," Sequenza21), are available from Bridge Records. A third CD, Rube Goldberg Variations, will appear in 2017. The author of the first music-theory article ever published by Science magazine, he has received a Rhodes scholarship, a Guggenheim fellowship, and additional prizes from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, Tanglewood, the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, and others. His music, which often draws on jazz and rock, has been performed and commissioned by groups including the Amernet Quartet, the Atlantic Brass Quintet, the Brentano Quartet, the Corigliano Quartet, Flexible Music, Gallicantus, the Gregg Smith Singers, the Illinois Modern Ensemble, Janus Trio, the Kitchener/Waterloo symphony, Network for New Music, Newspeak, Pacifica Quartet, Synergy Vocal Ensemble, Third Coast Percussion Quartet, and Ursula Oppens.

The two metropolitan communities () or CMs are multi-functional institutions of local government in the Canadian province of Quebec. They cover, respectively, the metropolitan areas of Greater Montreal and Quebec City.

CMs were created in 2000 by the Quebec legislature, on analogous lines to the regional districts in British Columbia. They have responsibility for areas of common interest to their constituent municipalities such as urban planning, economic development, promotion of international trade, artistic and cultural development, public transportation and waste management. Each CM also has specific areas of jurisdiction defined by the legislation governing it.

Communauté métropolitaine de Montréal (CMM)

For a list of the municipalities of the Communauté métropolitaine de Montréal, see Greater Montreal.

The CMM comprises 82 local municipalities in all, of which 21 do not belong to any Regional County Municipality (RCM), including Montreal itself. The CMM further encompasses the entire territory of four RCMs and parts of another six RCMs.

Powers
The powers of the CMM are defined in the Act respecting the Communauté métropolitaine de Montréal. The CMM has jurisdiction in the following fields:

 land planning;
 economic development;
 arts and culture promotion;
 social and affordable housing;
 facilities, infrastructure, services and activities of metropolitan importance;
 public transit and metropolitan arterial road network;
 waste management planning;
 air quality;
 wastewater.

It also plays a role in protecting and enhancing the metropolitan blue and green spaces and produces information tools for use in geomatics."

Government

Communauté métropolitaine de Québec (CMQ)

The CMQ consists of some 28 local municipalities, of which four do not belong to an RCM, including Quebec City itself. The CMQ also covers all of MRC de L'Île-d'Orleans and parts of La Côte-de-Beaupré and La Jacques-Cartier RCMs.

Q: How many people are in the room? The ratio of men to women is $3:4$, the ratio of Americans to non-Americans is $7:2$, and the number of people that are in the room is less than $100$. How many people are in the room?
I am helping my younger brother out with math and, sadly, I don't remember how to do this. Could someone please give me a quick refreshing on this?
P.S. I don't even know where to start - and I don't know exactly what this is called so I can't search it in order to find steps to solve this answer.
Thanks for your time!

A: As the number of men and american's in the room are both natural numbers, total number of people in the room must be divisible by both $(3+4)=7$ and $(7+2)=9$.
Now, $lcm(7,9)=63$.
We are told that the number of people in the room is less than 100. Hence, number of people in the room is exactly $63$. As the next number, after $63$, which is divisible by $7$ and $9$ both is $63\times 2=126>100$.

E11-143 - America           -->    143 - America
JC - Political theory       -->    Political theory

A: Use LastIndexOf to get the index of the last occurrence of a character:
string test = comboBox1.Text.Substring(comboBox1.Text.LastIndexOf('-') + 1).Trim();

A: Another variation:
var str = "E11-143 - America";
var val = str.Split('-').LastOrDefault().Trim();

A: var str = "E11-143 - America";
var newstr = str.Substring(str.LastIndexOf("-")+1).Trim();

A: You can use String.IndexOf + Substring. But you need to search for " - " instead  for - (note the white-spaces)
int index = text.IndexOf(" - ");
string result = null;
if(index >= 0)
     result = text.Substring(index + " - ".Length);

or String.Split
text.Split(new[]{" - "},StringSplitOptions.None).Last();

The IndexOf approach is more efficient whereas the Split is more readable.

Our office visited St. Vincent Ferrer Catholic School in Delray Beach this week and St. Joseph's Episcopal School in Boynton Beach last week. We had a fun time administering vision and eye health screenings on the students. The children were well mannered and very sweet! We thank the parent and teacher volunteers who helped with the screening.
We thank the schools for the opportunity to detect eye problems that may be affecting their students' performance with reading, sports or daily activities. Did you know that 1 out of 4 children have an undetected vision disorder?
Seeing is our main source for gathering information in learning, and this is why vision issues can have profound consequences on how we learn. Many kids who experience trouble with academics may have a visual dysfunction in addition to their primary learning dysfunction.
Here at Ocean Optics and the Vision Therapy Institute of Florida, we feel vision is so important for learning and would enjoy offering free vision screenings for your child's school, daycare, or early development center. Please contact Lori at 561-265-2020 to setup the vision and eye health screening in your community.

Investigators 14

Support Staff 25
Student Workers 2
Victim Advocate 1
The Superior Court and Central Pretrial/Case Disposition Division is responsible for prosecuting some of the most challenging cases in the District Attorney's Office, including assaults, burglaries, robberies, felony DUIs, and murders.
It's one of the largest divisions in the office and its Deputy DAs handle all felonies not assigned to a branch or vertical prosecution. This division is responsible for more than 25 percent of all felony cases tried by the District Attorney's Office.
In addition, the Superior Court Division handles pre and post-conviction mental health cases for those defendants alleged to be incompetent to stand trial and those found to be a danger to the community as a result of mental illness.
Training and development of Deputy District Attorneys is an important aspect of the Superior Court Division. Monthly training sessions are presented on various aspects of criminal prosecution. Riding along with law enforcement officers is encouraged as well.
The unique combination of senior trial attorneys and junior deputies in the division helps junior deputies develop the skills and knowledge necessary to become highly skilled felony trial attorneys.
The division consists of six teams: pretrial, case disposition, trials, major violators, DUI homicide and cold case homicide.
These prosecutors handle a large number of serious cases. They arraign defendants charged in felony complaints, then prepare and conduct preliminary examinations in front of a judge to prove the charges based upon a probable cause standard. In doing so, the preliminary hearing Deputy DAs are liaisons between the DA's Office, law enforcement and the victims and witnesses of crime.
The pretrial deputies also handle suppression motions, bail reviews, and miscellaneous court calendars. Occasionally, they conduct misdemeanor trials, which occur when felony charges are reduced to misdemeanors at the preliminary hearing.
Case Disposition
The team works to assess felony cases in an attempt to reach fair and equitable resolutions of the cases at the earliest possible opportunity. The team encourages the immediate sentencing of defendants, where appropriate, significantly reducing costs to San Diego County and taxpayers.
The team is responsible for prosecuting cases that are bound over by the pretrial team and also serious trials that are assigned vertically from the time the case was presented by law enforcement. Those cases involve murder, attempted murder, arson and other complex felony cases.
Cases of note include:
People v. Ahmed
DDA Melissa Vasel convicted the defendant of second-degree murder for a knockout sucker punch attack on a Gaslamp Street in June 2014. The victim sustained a fatal brain injury due to the tremendous force of the punch to his head. In July 2015, the defendant was sentenced to 15 years-to-life in prison.
People v. Theresa Owens
In August 2014, the meth-intoxicated defendant crashed into a group of cyclists on Fiesta Island while driving the wrong way. Several riders sustained critical injuries leaving one a paraplegic, one with a shattered elbow and one with permanent facial scarring. DDA Jessica Coto convicted the defendant of felony DUI causing great bodily injury. In November 2015, she was sentenced to 19 years in prison.
People v. Hans Peterson
DDA Amy Maund convicted the defendant of multiple counts of attempt premeditated murder with the infliction of great bodily injury for attacks on unsuspecting victims in their homes. In September 2013, the defendant went to his ex-business partner's home in La Jolla late at night and fired into his bedroom. Four hours later he arrived at his ex-wife's brother's home, where he shot the victim in the bathroom. After a lengthy trial the defendant was convicted and sentenced to life in prison plus 64 years.
Major Violators
The unit prosecutes criminals with extensive felony backgrounds, serial robbers and other defendants charged with numerous serious felonies that face extraordinarily long prison sentences. In 2015, the prosecutors assigned to the unit closed 30 cases involving 36 defendants whose combined crimes included 81 robberies, 57 residential burglaries, two carjackings and a kidnapping. Two life terms and lengthy prison terms ranging from 41 years to 12 years were imposed on these defendants.
People v. Donavan Robbins
The defendant, on his second strike, committed a series of armed robberies at Subway, Kentucky Fried Chicken, and Burger King. During the robberies, he moved the employees into the freezer before fleeing with the money. A jury convicted Robbins of 12 counts of armed robbery. He was sentenced to 41 years in prison. Deputy DA Roy Lai prosecuted this case.
People v. David Peters (aka Shalako BLACKFOOT)
The defendant was a third striker who committed a series of robberies at Subway, gas stations, and Circle K over the course of six weeks. He was armed with a replica firearm during the robberies. Although most of the robberies were captured on surveillance video, the defendant's face was concealed by clothing. Circumstantial evidence tied the defendant to the crimes, including DNA, a getaway car, boots, and boot print evidence. He was convicted after a jury trial of eight counts of robbery and sentenced to 304 years-to-life in prison. Deputy DA Jim Koerber prosecuted this case.
People v. Zachary Jones
While out on bail pending trial on seven robberies of Boost Mobile stores, defendant Jones robbed two more stores. He pleaded guilty to all crimes and was sentenced to 30 years in prison. Deputy Jalyn Wang prosecuted this case.
DUI Homicide Unit
The DUI Homicide unit began in October of 2014 with a grant from the Office of Traffic Safety. This unit handles all of the homicides that occur in the county where someone is driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. This unit also prosecutes some of the most serious injury DUI cases. The goal of the unit is to be actively involved at the investigations stage of the case in order to better prosecute the offenders. This requires the Deputy District Attorneys and the Investigator to be available to law enforcement at all times and to respond to the scene of the collisions.
Noteworthy cases include:
People v. Trevino
In this case, the DUI murder defendant crossed over lanes of traffic and crashed head on into victims near Pala on SR76. One victim was killed on the scene, another had two broken ankles and spine fractures and a third person had a bruised heart and concussion. Deputy DA Aimee McLeod prosecuted the defendant, who was convicted and received 15 years and four months in prison.
Cold Case Homicide
The Cold Case Homicide Division exists to promote public safety by resolving the unsolved homicides within our county. The division has worked cooperatively with local law enforcement to systematically inventory all cases of unsolved homicides and missing persons that are on file in the different agencies. The division assists law enforcement by investigating and resolving these cases in order to bring the guilty to justice and closure to the families of victims.
Significant cases include:
People v Kim Andrews
On Christmas Eve in 1991, 21-year-old U.S. Marine Lindell Mitchell had an argument at a party with the 16-year-old defendant. The defendant enlisted the help of her relatives who came back and shot the victim in the back. In 2015, Deputy DA David Williams III, prosecuted Andrews, who was convicted of first-degree murder.
People v. Mora
The defendant was convicted of special circumstances murder for a 1999 home invasion killing. The victim was shot and killed when he answered a knock at his front door. Mora was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Deputy DA Andrea Freshwater prosecuted this case.

Headlining now at CES 2017: A home security system that doesn't use cameras, a smart bicycle with touchscreen display and a patio umbrella with the intelligence to rotate toward the sun at all times.
The easy-to-use and discrete two-piece system uses the company's patented technology to monitor the disruption of wireless signals caused by movement in the home, sending notifications to household members when any unauthorized motion occurs in the home. Aura provides full coverage for the average home, even in rooms where people are typically unwilling to place cameras.
Aura's accuracy is above those of other motion detection systems, since it is not dependent on light and recognizes the difference between human and non-human movement, the company said.
China-based LeEco's new smart bicycles for the U.S. feature an Android-powered BikeOS with touchscreen display that helps cyclists navigate rides and track performance.
The LeEco Smart Mountain Bike features Toray T700 carbon fiber frame and handlebar, SR Suntour XCR Air front fork, and the popular 27.5-inch/650b diameter wheelset, which weighs in at 26.9 pounds. The 11-speed one-by drivetrain model also utilizes a single chain ring crankset, quick and smooth rear derailleur, and a wide-range 11-42 tooth cassette. It includes an hydraulic brake set.
LeEco's Android 6.0-powered BikeOS system displays on a 4-inch touchscreen that runs on a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor and is powered by a 6000mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery.
The system provides turn-by-turn navigation tailored for bicycle riding from HERE Maps, online and offline music playback, walkie-talkie communication with other nearby compatible LeEco smart bikes, and ride logging. With the companion app, you can also review and share your rides with others.
For riders who want to monitor health and performance, the bikes feature a full suite of onboard sensors including GPS/GLONASS, compass, accelerometer, barometer, light level, wheel speed and crank speed, while also offering compatibility with third-party ANT+ heart rate and power sensors to help meet fitness goals.
Safety and security are always a concern; the new models offer automatic on-board lighting (front/sides), horn and security alarm. In fact, the bikes automatically notify its owner when the alarm is activated and tracks location via the mobile app. Additionally, the electronics in both models are water resistant to level IP54.
The new smart bikes will be available in the U.S. in Q2 2017, the company said.
ShadeCraft's Sunflower, a first-of-its-kind intelligent patio umbrella, launched at CES. It is an automated umbrella that moves with the motion of the sun to keep its owner always in the shade, CEO Armen Gharabegian said.
--also features GPS, USB port, controlled lighting and voice command.
The ShadeCraft team will be exhibiting at CES Unveiled and CES at booth 40530 (Smart Home Marketplace). Go here for more information.
Kolibree, a tech company focused on connected solutions in oral health, launched Ara, a CES 2017 Innovation Award Honoree and the first toothbrush with embedded artificial intelligence.
"Patented deep learning algorithms are embedded directly inside the toothbrush on a low-power processor. Raw data from the sensors runs through the processor, enabling the system to learn your habits and refine accuracy the more it's used," Kolibree founder and CEO Thomas Serval said.
Ara knows precisely where in your mouth you are brushing, even when not connected to the app on a mobile device. Whether brushing on or offline, brushing data (frequency, duration and brushed areas) is captured in the toothbrush and automatically synced via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE 4.0) when the app is open.
Ara's advanced offline mode is a new step for IoT in oral health. It's the culmination of studying behaviors, over a three-year period, of more than 10,000 people who have used a Kolibree toothbrush, the first electric connected toothbrush, Serval said.
The company has learned that children are motivated to brush their teeth --and have learned to brush more effectively--when enticed by a mobile game, such as Kolibree's Go Pirate, which is part of the Kolibree app.
--Offline data capture and analytics include date, time, duration and zones brushed.
--Kolibree Index on the mobile app (iOS and Android) displays your personal score based on cumulative online and offline brushing.
--Weighing only 2.5 ounces (70 grams), and with a 2-week battery life, Ara by Kolibree travels easily.
--Weekly e-mail report shows at a glance how well you've brushed over the last seven days.
Ara is priced at $129. Pre-orders are accepted here for $79 now through Feb. 28, 2017.

HIGH-CLASS BOXING & ENTERTAINMENT

BAD Promotions "Only The Strong Survive" Thrills Boxing Fans at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach,
BAD Promotions' inaugural event, dubbed "Only The Strong Survive" provided an electric night of high-class boxing and entertainment in front of a packed house in Hallandale Beach Florida.
The Gulfstream Park's Sport of Kings Theater was beautifully decorated in black and pink, in honor of promoter Blake Davis' mother, a breast cancer survivor, and proceeds from the event were to be donated to the cause. There was a video game arcade area set up with retro-boxing video games, a neon red LED lit robot Predator like creature walking out the fighters, and luxurious ringside VIP couches and tables. VIPs included former two-time heavyweight champion Riddick Bowe, UFC fighter Jessica Aguilar, and former light-heavyweight champion Glen Johnson. The event was completely sold out with fans still trying to gain admission well into the night.
The undercard featured the debut of Maxi Mussio, who scored a 3rd round TKO win in a dominant performance over Javan Ross. Maxi punished his opponent for those three rounds with combinations until referee Sam Burgos called the action to a halt.
In the main bout of the undercard, Miami's own Anthony "White Chocolate" Martinez improved to 7-1(6KO), with an impressive TKO win over tough and rugged Milton Nunez 37-23 (32KO) in a cruiserweight bout.
The main card featured ring veteran "King" David Estrada's return to the squared circle after a three-year layoff to defeat Javier Frazier in six rounds via unanimous decision. This bout, filled with lively exchanges, with both fighters having an equal share of supporters in the audience, was highly anticipated by boxing fans. In the end, Estrada won every round on each scorecard and his record now stands at 30-6.
Crowd favorite and two-time World Champion Maureen "The Real Million Dollar Baby" Shea (now 29-2-1) dazzled her fans tonight at the Sport of Kings Theater in her matchup with Martina Horgasz (5-5-0). Shea, a relatively recent arrival to South Florida, has quickly built up a fan base, one that she did not disappoint this evening. Entering the ring in a black and red salsa inspired outfit, Shea appeared confident and in top shape. For just a little over six rounds, Shea put on a boxing clinic that showcased superior footwork, strength, head movement, and punching ability that Horgasz could not keep up with. Referee James Warring had seen enough at one minute and thirty-two seconds into round six when Shea had Horgasz pinned in the corner, landing vicious body shots and uppercuts.
In an exciting Heavyweight matchup featuring two former outstanding college athletes, Raphael Akpejiori former University of Miami Basketball star knocked out the highly accomplished SFU running back Mike Ford (6-1-0) in the second round and racked up another KO victory. His record stands at a perfect 6-0 with 6 KOs.
The main attraction featured local star Blake "BAD" Davis, the young founder of BAD Promotions, who doubled as promotor and fighter. With the crowd in a frenzy, Davis squared off with tough as nails Luis Iniquez (2-3-1), working behind his long jab and launching missile rights and huge uppercuts snapping Iniguez's head back like a PEZ dispenser. Davis' reach and power advantage had him scoring and pushing the action throughout the fight.
Credit Iniquez for showing resilience and a steel chin by taking huge shots from Davis all night his face totally bloodied but remained on his feet.
