HAVANA TIMES — Former Cuban athlete Javier Sotomayor, considered the best high jumper in history, was just nationalized Spanish, reported dpa news.
According to the Council of Ministers of Spain, the reigning world high jump record holder obtained "Spanish nationality by naturalization".
Sotomayor, born 47 years ago in Cuba, was the Olympic champion in Barcelona 1992 and eight years later a silver medalist in Sydney 2000. He also won two world titles in Stuttgart 1993 and Athens 1997.
His jump of 2.45 meters, achieved in the Spanish city of Salamanca in 1993, remains today the world record for the specialty.

After retiring in 2001, the symbol of Cuban athletes continued linked to sports on the island and accompanied the delegation of his country to major events such as the Olympic Games or world championships.
The Council of Ministers of Spain also granted nationality to Cuban athlete Orlando Ortega, 23, and one of the best hurdlers of the moment.
Ortega left Cuban athletics team after the 2013 World Cup in Moscow.

Another embarrassment that continues in a long line of defections during the so called kinder and
gentle Cuba. This most certainly is noticed among some Cubans who are waiting anxiously for
a radical not tepid change that's so needed. You can't make this up and again a must wake
up call for anyone with a brain running this country.
Carlyle MacDuff
Those Cubans who are able through sport to leave Cuba continue to increase in number. To date four of Cuba's participants in the Pan American Games have defected.

Research Conducted at University of California Has Provided New Information about Health Insurance (Association of Maternal Depressive Symptoms and Offspring Physical Health in Low-Income Families)
By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Managed Care Weekly Digest -- A new study on Health Insurance is now available. According to news originating from Los Angeles, California, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, "The present study sought to examine the association between maternal depressive symptoms and characteristics of offspring physical health, including health status, health behaviors, and healthcare utilization, among low-income families. Maternal engagement was explored as a mediator of observed effects."
Funders for this research include National Science Foundation, First 5 LA (see also Health Insurance).
Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from the University of California, "Cross-sectional survey data from a community sample of 4589 low-income women and their preschool-age children participating in the WIC program in Los Angeles County were analyzed using logistic, Poisson, and zero-inflated negative binomial regression. Mediation was tested via conditional process analyses. After controlling for the effects of demographic characteristics including maternal health insurance coverage, employment status, education, and preferred language, children of depressed women (N = 1025) were significantly more likely than children of non-depressed women (N = 3564) to receive a 'poor' or 'fair' maternal rating of general health (OR 2.34), eat fewer vegetables (IRR: 0.94) more sweets (IRR: 1.20) and sugary drinks daily (IRR: 1.32), and consume fast food more often (OR 1.21). These children were also less likely to have health insurance (OR 1.59) and more likely to receive medical care from a public medical clinic or hospital emergency room (OR 1.30). Reduced maternal engagement partially mediated associations between maternal depressive symptoms and several child health outcomes including poor diet, health insurance coverage, and use of public medical services. Conclusions for Practice Maternal depressive symptoms are associated with poor health among preschool-age children in low-income families."
According to the news editors, the research concluded: "Prevention, screening, and treatment efforts aimed at reducing the prevalence of maternal depression may positively affect young children's health."

Another short extract from the writings of the great Quaker William Penn, founder of the State of Pennsylvania.
Death cannot kill what never dies. Nor can spirits ever be divided, that love and live in the same divine principle, the root and record of their friendship.
If absence be not death, neither is theirs. Death is but crossing the world, as friends do the seas; they live in one another still. For they must needs be present, that love and live in that which is omnipresent. In this divine glass they see face to face; and their converse is free, as well as pure.

Ubisoft Announces Details for Six Paris Major Rainbow Six Siege Competition Event
August 8, 2018Written by Lucas White
Yesterday, Ubisoft introduced some brief details for the upcoming Rainbow Six Siege season, but held off on the good stuff in favor of an upcoming esports event. Now, Ubisoft has announced the full slate of details for said event, called the Six Paris Major. This event, which will be held in Paris, France from August 13 – 19, is being promoted as the largest esports event for Rainbow Six Siege ever organized in Europe.
The Six Paris Major will feature sixteen teams, all of which have now been confirmed. These teams, which come from the four regions making up the Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Pro League, are throwing down for a $350,000 prize pool. The sixteen teams will face off during the first half of the event, whittling the competition down to eight teams. After that, the event will conclude at the Paris Expo event at the Porte de Versailles. This half, running from August 17 – 19, will be open to the public.
The tournament won't be the only event. A "Showmatch" will be held featuring "surprise guests," and a "All-Star Match" will take place ahead of the grand finals, featuring some of the game's top players. A documentary, Another Mindset, will be shown, which follows several pro players and tells a story of how Rainbow Six Siege affected their lives. Of course, there will also be panels, including the planned full reveal of the game's next update, known as Operation: Grim Sky.
Here's the full list of confirmed teams, per a Ubisfot press release:
ELEMENT MYSTIC (APAC): The South Korean organization acquired its roster back in April but its players have been in Pro League since Asia-Pacific region first days – they are not here for the fun.
EVIL GENIUSES (NA): As winners at the Six Invitational 2017 (under the name "Continuum"), they are one of the most seasoned teams on the scene, constantly performing on the international stage.
FAZE CLAN (LATAM): consisting of seasoned players, known for their skills and aggressive plays, they will be one of the 4 Brazilian teams in the Six Major Paris, the most represented country.
FNATIC (APAC): Fnatic will be proudly representing the Australia-New Zealand portion of the Asia-Pacific region, a region they have been dominating for the last seasons, seating in group B as seed 2.
IMMORTALS (LATAM): Facing Millenium, Evil Geniuses and Element Mystic in a tough group, the Brazilian side finally gets a chance to show off big during an international LAN event.
MILLENIUM (EU): Earning their slot for the Major thanks to their strong performances at the Season 7 Finals, they will benefit from local support in Paris, as one of the 3 French teams qualified.
MOCK-IT ESPORTS (EU): Surprise "Coupe de France" champion, Mock-It indeed earned its spot via a local French competition as this first edition of the Six Major takes place in Paris.
NINJAS IN PYJAMAS (LATAM): Ninjas in Pyjamas is done with teasing, Julio and his mates are on this scene to earn trophies and glory, qualifying via the Latin-American online qualifiers.
NORA-RENGO (APAC): Based in Japan and known for their spectacular playstyle, things should get even more exciting as they now welcome ex-eINs' ShiN in their line-up.
OBEY ALLIANCE (NA): Beating Mousesport in the North America Online Qualifiers, Skys, Bosco and their mates are surprise attendees but seasoned enough to surprise even further!
ORGLESS (EU): They may be "orgless" but they do not lack talent. After competing under the "Charity Nerds" name at Dreamhack Valencia, they qualified through their victory in the EU qualifiers.
PENTA SPORTS (EU): The most awarded team in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six history. As Six Invitational 2018 World Champions, they automatically secured their spot at the Six Major Paris.
ROGUE (NA): While not as prestigious as Evil Geniuses, Rogue always manage to perform impressively and attend all major Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six events. Will they finally reach a Grand Final?
TEAM LIQUID (LATAM): As Pro League Season 7 Champions, Team Liquid took the seed 1 of group A and will put on stage the most successful players from the Latin America region.
TEAM SECRET (EU): The European organization just acquired a roster, but its players (3 British, 2 French) are no newbies. As Dreamhack Valencia winners, they are currently one of the hottest teams.
TEAM VITALITY (EU): After failing during Season 7, the online qualifiers or at the Coupe de France, the French side earned the 16th and last ticket for the Major during an epic DreamHack Valence!

Holmfirth reacts to Stacey Bywater's big lottery win
HOLMFIRTH lottery winner Stacey Bywater is the talk of the town.
The 18-year-old has made national headlines after scooping a £1,117,796 share of Saturday's jackpot.
One of the youngest millionaires in the history of the lottery, a Google search of her name now yields more than 97,000 results.
Not that the fame will be going to her head – single girl Stacey is keeping her job as a nursery nurse and instead of splashing out on a sports car has opted for a sensible Mini.
Coverage in the Examiner, and all the country's national newspapers, focused on Stacey's pledge to buy a new home and for her family and support her sister Kirsty, a single mum who recently lost her job in retail.
They also told how the teenager has no plans to find a boyfriend.
On the streets of Holmfirth there was plenty of support for Stacey – although some would spend the money differently if they were in her shoes.
Liz Turner works at the Kirkwood Hospice shop.
She said: "Looking at her picture I think I've seen her around. It's fabulous news and everyone says she's a really nice girl.
"If I won that kind of money I'd probably be a volunteer instead of being employed here!
"I'd treat my friends and family and put some away for security."
Jennifer Summers, 20, works in the Your Nuts health food store.
She said: "Some of my friends said they knew who she was but I don't think I've seen her around.
"If I won the lottery I'd use it to pay off my uni fees and then go travelling around the world.
"I'd also get my parents a nice house in France."
Lesley Childs-Gill, who works in Parfitt's confectioners, said she would probably take life easier.
She said: "I'd buy a house and a car and treat my family.
"I wouldn't have a make of car in mind, maybe something a little bit sporty but you can't go to flash in Holmfirth.
"A lot of people say they wouldn't but I'd leave work.
"Fair play to Stacey, she's been very lucky and it's nice that she'll be looking after her sister."
Colin Smith, 56, said: "It would definitely be travelling, and I'd spend a bit improving my home. I think then I'd bide my time.
"I'm a stock controller and I'd definitely stay working. It would be tempting to quit but I'm only 56 and I don't want to sit around for years on end.
"I think I'm from the generation that knew it had to go out and get a job so I wouldn't want to do nothing."

Q: Statistical Inference by Casella Exercise 4.51 I am self-studying statistical inference by Casella and Berger and having difficulty solving exercise 4.51:
let $X, Y, Z \sim U(0,1)$ and they are independent. Find $P(X/Y \leq t)$ and $P(XY \leq t)$. I tried
\begin{eqnarray*}
   U &=& \frac{X}{Y}, \hspace{3mm} W = Y
\end{eqnarray*}
\begin{eqnarray*}
   X = UW, \hspace{3mm}, Y = W
\end{eqnarray*}
Finding the determinant of Jacobian,
\begin{eqnarray*}
   J &=& \begin{pmatrix}\frac{\partial}{\partial u}x & \frac{\partial}{\partial w}x\\\ \frac{\partial}{\partial u}y & \frac{\partial}{\partial u}y \end{pmatrix}\\
 &=& w
\end{eqnarray*}
So I got
$$f(u,w) = w,$$ where $0<u< 1/w$ and $0<w<1$.
Then I evaluated the marginal distribution $f(u)$ of $f(u,w)$ by integrating the joint distribution against $w$:
$$
f(u) = \int_0^1 f(u,w) dw = 1/2.$$
However, it seems that $0<u<\infty$, so the area under $f(u)$ on the support $0<u<\infty$ does not integrate 1. I would really appreciate it if anybody points out or help me where I should correct. Thanks!

This past weekend we found ourselves picking apples at Mercier Orchards in Blue Ridge Georgia. The weather was a bit warmer than we would have liked, but between the tractor ride, apple picking, and apple cider drinking we had a grand time.
Alongside the many varieties of apples in the apple house at Mercier you can find sweet potatoes for sale. If like me, you end up toting home some sweet potatoes along with your apples, might I suggest giving this sweet potato pound cake recipe a try. This is the same recipe we serve at The Corner Cafe with hardly a crumb left over.
Place sweet potatoes in a small saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Boil until potatoes are tender and you can pierce them with a fork. Drain. Peel potatoes and mash with a fork.
In the bowl of an electric mixer cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating for at least 30 seconds after each addition. Add in vanilla.
In a small bowl combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
Add flour mixture and sweet potatoes alternately to the creamed butter mixture.
Pour batter into a greased tube or bundt pan. Batter will be thick. Bake at 350 degrees for 50 to 60 minutes. Cool slightly before turning onto a wire cooling rack.
At this point you can serve the cake as is, or make a simple glaze with some powdered sugar and a bit of orange juice. Pour glaze over cake and enjoy!

How Long is Okami
Okami is a 2006 action-adventure video game developed by Clover Studio and published by Capcom. It was released for the PlayStation 2, and later ported to the Wii and Microsoft Windows. The story of Okami focuses on the Shinto sun goddess Amaterasu, who takes the form of a white wolf named Shiranui.
She journeys through Japan to defeat Orochi, an eight-headed demon that has cursed the land. Okami was well received upon release; it received perfect scores from several publications, including Edge, Famitsu, and GameSpot. In 2007, Okami was nominated for multiple Game of the Year awards; it won several of these, including IGN's PlayStation 2 Game of the Year and Spike TV's Best PS2 Game.
Okami HD Nintendo Switch Review – Is It Worth It?
Okami is a long game, there's no denying that. In fact, it's one of the longest games I've ever played. It took me over 70 hours to complete, and that was with skipping most of the side quests.
I don't think I've ever spent that much time on a game before. But despite its length, Okami is never boring or tedious. There's always something new to do, some new mystery to solve.
The world is so beautifully designed and realized that I didn't want to leave it when the credits rolled. If you have the time and patience for a lengthy adventure, Okami is more than worth your while.

Okami is a long game. It's estimated that the average player will spend around 50 hours completing the main story, and there are plenty of side quests and activities to do that can easily add another 20-30 hours onto that. If you're someone who likes to 100% complete games, then Okami could easily take you over 100 hours.
There's just so much content in this game, and it's all so good, that it's easy to get lost in it for dozens upon dozens of hours.
In the video game Okami, the player controls the character Amaterasu, who is tasked with restoring color to the world. The game is set in Japan, and its art style is based on traditional Japanese paintings. One of the unique aspects of this game is that it allows the player to control time.
This can be used to solve puzzles or defeat enemies. The game also has a day-night cycle, which affects how NPCs react to Amaterasu. Okami was released in 2006 and was well-received by critics.
It won several awards, including Game of the Year from multiple publications. The HD remaster was released in 2012 for the PlayStation 3 and Wii U.

Signature combination creates flaming rarity
Bank Note Reporter Staff
By Peter Huntoon
Brian Lavin made an extraordinary purchase when he bought this Series of 1875 note and then carefully checked it out. It bears Tillman-Morgan Treasury signatures, making it a Fr. 423a, which is a rarity. Not just a rarity, but a flaming rarity!
Those signatures were current between July 1, 1893, and June 30, 1897, ranging 11 to 15 years after the series ceased being assigned to new banks. Treasury signatures were assigned to plates based on the date inscribed in the title block, in this case March 3, 1896. The only way such a late plate date could occur on a Series of 1875 note was for a new plate to have been made for an existing issuing bank either as the result of a title change or the bankers ordering a new plate combination.
In this case, the bankers had been issuing solely from a 5-5-5-5 combination since the bank was chartered in 1879, so they decided to add a 10-10-10-20 plate to their repertoire, and it got an 1896 batch date reflecting when it was ordered. They then issued from both plates until the bank was extended in 1899.
The short 3-year usage of the 10-10-10-20 plate readily explains why they received only 2,542 sheets of 10-10-10-20s in contrast to 66,946 sheets of 5-5-5-5s. Only eight banks in the entire country received Series of 1875 Tillman-Morgan notes in any denomination.
However, only three got $10s; specifically, 2362 Manchester, NH; 2430 Holyoke, MA; and 2541 Provo, UT.
Now the big question is how many $10s have been reported? This is where the rubber hits the road! A careful search of the census reveals that Brian's jewel is only the second to turn up. Did he ever score!
Ironically, the other one is also from the Holyoke bank and, not only that, from the same printing.
Okay, now that we have your attention, you can find a complete listing of every occurrence of all the rare Treasury signature on large nationals in my article in the March-April 2017 issue of Paper Money. Yes, take a look at the signatures on your nationals!

iPhone 5 vs. iPhone 5S (Rumored)
Last September, Apple announced its new iPhone, the iPhone 5, a device that replaced the iPhone from the year previous, the iPhone 4S. This year, Apple is rumored to be releasing another iPhone, possibly called the iPhone 5S, which will very likely replace the iPhone 5 as the company's most current smartphone on shelves. Here, we take a look at how it stacks up against the iPhone 5 thus far in terms of features, release date and more.
Read: iPhone 5S vs. Samsung Galaxy S4 (Rumored).
In December of 2011, a report claimed that the iPhone 5 would be out in the fall sporting a redesign. Turns out, that initial rumor proved fruitful as the iPhone 5 made its first official appearance at an event in San Francisco in the first half of September. And, as was reported, it did in fact feature a new design in addition to some other new perks including a larger display and 4G LTE data speeds, two features that had never appeared on any of the previous iPhone models.
Apple is expected to launch an iPhone 5S to replace the iPhone 5 in 2013.
Those features helped Apple sell out of its initial iPhone 5 stock. In fact, it wasn't until December that Apple was finally able to get a handle on its iPhone 5 supply, with shipping times down to a minimum.
Even now, the iPhone 5 remains one of the most popular smartphones on the market and will likely remain amongst the most attractive smartphone options for the months to come. Well, that is until Apple decides its time to announce a new iPhone, something that it does every year.
So far, that new iPhone is shaping up to me a device that is currently presumed to be called the iPhone 5S. And like the iPhone 5, we've already heard a number of early rumors about the iPhone 5S' features, its launch and its possible release date.
Despite only being out since September, the iPhone 5 has been no stranger to succession rumors. Already, rumors of the next-generation iPhone have risen to the surface, tempting consumers with a release later this year.
So what's been said, and how does it compare to the iPhone 5? Well, let's take a look at how the rumored iPhone 5S stacks up against Apple's current iPhone, the iPhone 5.
While the iPhone 5 was initially rumored to be out in the fall, the report did not specify exactly when the iPhone 5 would be out on shelves. Prior to its arrival, the iPhone 4S had launched in October, far later than the iPhone 4 which had arrived at WWDC during the summer and become available several weeks later. So, at the time many believed Apple would stick to October and its yearly cycle.
Those predictions though turned out to be incorrect as Apple moved the launch date of the iPhone up from October to September, releasing the iPhone 5 about a month before the iPhone 4S' first birthday.
The iPhone 5S has been pegged for a summer launch.
While this may not sound like a big deal, it is, as it means that Apple's iPhone launches are now unpredictable. Whereas before, consumers could count on an iPhone launch during the summer, now, the timing of the iPhone launch is up in the air.
And that's a big reason why there aren't many people that are up in arms about the iPhone 5S launch rumors which suggest that the next iPhone could arrive much earlier than the fall.
So far, all signs have pointed to an iPhone 5S launch at some point during the summer. Rumors and notes from analysts have suggested that Apple could launch the iPhone 5S as soon as May. WWDC, which would likely where Apple debuts the iPhone 5S if it were to indeed arrive in the summer, typically takes place in June.
If the iPhone 5S does launch in the summer, it will likely also have a summer release date. Unlike Android manufacturers, Apple doesn't short consumers on the important details at its launch events. That means that the company will have a release date on hand at the event and typically, the release date is a few weeks after the launch.
So, that could mean a release in either June or July and we've seen one report, from iLounge, suggest that Apple is currently targeting July for an iPhone 5S release. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who has been extremely accurate in the past, says that the June or July time frame for a release is possible as well.
Thus far, we haven't seen any rumors that outright suggest that the iPhone 5S will arrive in the fall though it wouldn't be surprising to see Apple stick to its guns and release an iPhone 5S just ahead of the holiday shopping season. It's just that at this point, no rumors point in that direction.
With the iPhone 5, Apple launch a redesigned iPhone featuring an industrial design vastly different from the designs of iPhone 4S and iPhone 4 which were comprised mainly of plastic and a glass backing.
The iPhone 5 is instead composed of a metal band around the entire phone, glass pieces on the top and bottom holding it together and an anodized aluminum back that is one of the most noticeable differences between it and the iPhone 4S.
Apple also included a new Lightning dock connection that allowed the company to keep the size of the iPhone 5 thin, even while the device grew taller because of its larger display.
Read: iPhone 5S Design with Minimal Changes Rumored.
The iPhone 5S is rumored to have a familiar design.
Specifically, it boasts a slender 7.6mm design with a weight of 112 grams, much thinner and much lighter than most flagship smartphones on the market including the iPhone 4S.
As we've discussed, Apple tends to keep designs around for two years. We saw it with the iPhone 3GS and we saw it with the iPhone 4S which retained the designs of their predecessors.
Thus far, rumors point to Apple doing the same with the iPhone 5S with the device expected to retain the current iPhone 5 design while packing in hardware and quite possibly some software upgrades.
Prior to the iPhone 5, the iPhone had always featured a 3.5-inch display. However, with demand for a larger screen increasing year-to-year and Apple's competitors adopting monster displays for content consumption, the company finally caved and increased the size of the iPhone's display to 4-inches with the iPhone 5.
The company kept the device's Retina Display which offers 1136 x 640 resolution and sports a high 326 pixels-per-inch count which make for crisp images, video and text. Even with display technology where it is right now, the Retina Display remains one of the best on the market, and one of the signature features of the iPhone.
The iPhone 5S could feature a better screen to compete with newer Android phones.
That said, while display technology has produced larger screens in years past, now we're seeing it shift to higher resolution displays in 2013. Several big name Android smartphones including the Samsung Galaxy S4 are rumored to have 1080p resolution displays with 400+ pixels-per-inch. What this means is that there is now a bit of pressure on Apple to deliver a fresh take on its iPhone display.
Whether or not that comes with the iPhone 5S though remains to be seen.
Peter Misek, an analyst with Jefferies, believes that Apple may release an iPhone 5S with a Retina+ display, and more specifically, Sharp IZGO technology. Sharp has long been rumored to be bringing its IGZO technology to both the iPhone and the iPad and it could be that the iPhone 5S is the first iPhone to sport the company's display tech.
At CES 2013, we were fortunate enough to go hands-on with Sharp's IGZO display technology, which, can be seen in the video below.
While Sharp wouldn't confirm the technology for the iPhone, we do know how it might benefit the iPhone 5S.
One, it could help to increase the pixel count which would help to fend off the new display tech found in Android smartphones. And two, it could offer iPhone 5S owners better battery life than that found in the iPhone 5, something that is in high demand amongst smartphone buyers.
As for the size, while there are rumors of Apple potentially working on a larger iPhone+ with a 4.8-inch display, current rumors suggest that the iPhone 5S display will be the same 4-inches as the iPhone 5's.
The iPhone 5 possesses one of the best rear cameras of any smartphone on the market but it appears that cameras in 2013 are going to be giving it a run for its money.
Already, we've seen the Sony Xperia Z arrive with a 13MP sensor that, from several leaked samples, appears to keep pace with the iPhone 5's camera and perhaps, even best it.
A pre-release photo sample comparing the iPhone 5 camera to the Xperia Z's can be seen in the photo below.
The iPhone 5S should feature a camera upgrade.
The Xperia Z of course isn't the only phone rumored to be coming with a heavy duty rear camera. The HTC M7 is supposedly going to rock a 4.3MP Ultrapixel camera comprised of three 4.3MP sensors that combine to take one clear, crisp image. And the Galaxy S4 is rumored to be coming with a new 13MP camera.
Suffice to say, the pressure is on Apple to introduce a new camera on its iPhone.
Evidently though, Apple will be doing just that, outfitting the iPhone 5S with a new camera, perhaps a 13MP sensor from Sony. The camera quite is rumored to be the star of the iPhone 5S show, especially so, if Apple decides to hold off upgrading the iPhone's display technology.
A new camera wouldn't be surprising given that Apple tends to offer an improved rear camera, from both a hardware and software standpoint, year after year.
Beyond those specification, let's take a deeper look at some of the other features of these smartphones, starting with the very official features of the iPhone 5.
4-inch Retina Display with 1136 x 640 Resolution
Apple A6 Processor
16GB/32GB/64GB models (No microSD Card Slot)
8MP rear camera/HD Front-Facing Camera
1440mAh Battery (Non-Removable)
1GB of RAM
So far, no concrete rumors have surfaced in regards to the other features of the iPhone 5S though based on past releases, we can take a gander about what consumers might expect.
Generally, Apple outfits its next generation iPhone models with an assortment of hardware upgrades to offset the lack of a design change. With the iPhone 5S, that policy likely won't change.
Consumers should expect a processor upgrade, possibly to the faster A6X chip, which should provide better performance when it comes to things like gaming. They should also expect the iPhone 5S to have similar, if not better battery life than the iPhone 5.
The iPhone 5 gets about eight hours when using the web over 4G LTE which is on par with the best smartphones out there.
The iPhone 5S may look the same but expect big changes under the hood.
Apple doesn't include microSD card slots for expanded storage on its iPhone which means that we should see the 16GB, 32GB and 64GB emerge again though we could see them joined by a 128GB iPhone for the first time considering the 128GB iPads arrive.
It also doesn't include a removable battery which could also mean that iPhone 5S owners will be stock without extended batteries or an easy way to replace it if it dies.
When Apple releases a new iPhone, it typically releases a new version of its mobile software right along with it. With the iPhone 5, we saw the arrival of the current version of iOS, iOS 6, which brought a hefty dose of features, over 200 new ones in fact, to not only iPhone owners, but owners of previous iDevices as well.
iOS 6 has since been updated with several software updates including the most recent iOS 6.1 update which brought along several new and handy features including a new addition to Siri which can be seen in the video below.
Read: iOS 6.1 Review.
The same will likely be said for iOS 7, the presumed next version of iOS that will more than likely arrive alongside the iPhone 5S. Nothing is known about iOS 7 yet but we imagine that it could feature some drastic changes now that iOS Chief Scott Forstall is gone.
Forstall was one of the leading forces behind the current design of iOS and now that he has been replaced with the likes of Jony Ive and Craig Federighi, we could see some big changes not only feature-wise, but in how iOS looks.
We could also see some unique features arrive in iOS 7 for the iPhone 5S. With the iPhone 4S, the 'S' in the name stood for Siri, which was a unique feature to the iPhone 4S up until it arrived for the iPad and the iPhone 5.
If the iPhone 5S is called iPhone 5S, it could be that the 'S' also stands for a unique software element, perhaps 'Security' for a new finger print scanner, something that has been rumored to be coming to the iPhone for quite some time.
One of the nice aspects of the iPhone 5 is that there is quite a bit of choice when it comes to carrier options. Unlike some high-end smartphone that are limited to one or two carriers, the iPhone 5 is available across a large swath of service providers in the U.S.
When it was first released, the iPhone 5 was available on the 4G LTE networks of AT&T, Sprint and Verizon, the first time an iPhone has ever taken advantage of this type of speed. 4G LTE is considerably faster than 3G, it can reach up to ten times as fast, and it has quickly become the smartphone standard.
Those not looking to sign up with the big boys have other options though as the iPhone is available on smaller carriers like Cricket Wireless as well as on even smaller regional carriers.
Consumers looking to pick up the iPhone 5S will likely be afforded the same type of flexibility and the same data speeds as well.
What's more is that T-Mobile will be joining the iPhone fray this year and while it hasn't announced whether it will carry the iPhone 5 or the iPhone 5S or both, whatever it chooses will run on its 4G LTE network which is set to expand throughout the U.S. in 2013.
Apple has set the standard for high-end smartphone pricing with the pricing of the iPhone. For several years now, Apple has offered the iPhone starting at $199.99 and it extended the same offer to those looking to get the iPhone 5.
The price of the iPhone 5S should stay competitive.
Here is how Apple's on-contract price for the iPhone 5 breaks down:
iPhone 16GB – $199.99 on-contract
If T-Mobile carriers either one of these iPhones, the up-front cost will be much greater, likely to the tune of the unlocked pricing for the iPhone which is much more expensive than the subsidized pricing.
Here is how the pricing of the unlocked iPhone 5, through Apple, looks:
iPhone 16GB – $649.99 off-contract
Apple hasn't changed its price points in years and we don't expect it to with the iPhone 5S. No rumors have surfaced quite yet but we don't expect them to until we get much closer to the actual launch of the device.

You can't base a camera review on Megapixels alone. I'm pretty disappointed that the author of this post is still in the mindset of the more pixels you have the better the quality. Its not the pixels you should be worried about its the sensor!

How to Contact CFE Securely
If you want to contact the Centre for Free Expression and keep your communications secure, please read the guideline below. Otherwise, our regular contact information is here.
To ensure that you do not inadvertently expose yourself, please read this entire page before making any attempt to contact us.
You can contact CFE in several ways that minimize your personal risk. First, never communicate with us using a work computer or work telephone. Do not use employer resources or electronically-generated postage to send us paper documents. If you can, use public WiFi networks and a virtual private network (VPN) that gives you a secure tunnel through which you can send and receive information online, as if you were operating using a private server. There are dozens of VPN optionsthat cater to different needs.
Here are ways you can get in touch:
1. Encrypted email
You can set up a free ProtonMail account and use it to send us encrypted email at GovernmentIntegrity@protonmail.com. ProtonMail is a free, end-to-end encrypted email service developed by MIT and CERN scientists with servers in Switzerland, which has strong privacy laws.
Note: Because ProtonMail does not require authentication, you can even remain anonymous. If you prefer this option, do not connect the account to a cell phone or email account when you sign up for Protonmail.
2. Encrypted text messaging and voice
You can use the free messaging app, Signal, to send us encrypted text messages, and also to hold secure voice conversations. You first install Signal on your smart phone, tablet or computer and then use the app to send messages or to make a voice connection. The messages and voice connections are encrypted digitally. Our Signal account number is: 647-478-6726 .
(1) This is not a phone number but the number Signal uses when you send a message or call through the app. If you call this number from your phone, rather than using the Signal app, you will create an electronic record of your attempt to reach us, and your call will not be answered.
(2) Signal requires you to store our Signal account number in your phone's address book. To conceal our name, consider entering the number under a false name, and do not sync your phone with a work computer.
(3) Signal shows us (but no-one else) your number. If you want to remain completely anonymous you can install Signal on a "burner" phone with pre-paid service that you purchase anonymously using cash.
Normally, you could also contact us or share information via postal mail, but this is not an option during the pandemic as we are all working remotely.
Resources for protecting your privacy
If you want more in-depth information on secure communications, the Electronic Frontier Foundation provides comprehensive, authoritative advice here about how you can and should protect your privacy.
What our vulnerabilities are
Attorneys can protect much of their communication under attorney-client privilege laws. Journalists have a source shield. CFE does not enjoy any such privileges. What that means is that if CFE is subject to a judicial subpoena, it is possible that we would have to turn over communications with sources. We are committed to protecting our sources to the full extent of the law in the face of any attempt to force us to reveal their identities: we would only do so if compelled by a court, but the possibility exists.
As has become obvious in recent times, anyone can be hacked, and unencrypted data can be intercepted. CFE employs state-of-the-art Internet and email security systems, but no system is foolproof. Therefore, we encourage you to initiate your communication with CFE in the encrypted ways described above.

I really didn't want to do this, but I really couldn't come up with a way to separate the two events that Samantha was celebrating today. Yesterday, June 6th, was Sam's 8th birthday. We celebrated by going to her baseball practice, her soccer game, and then coming home to clean. Today we went to church for her First Communion, then came home to celebrate that glorious occasion as well as her birthday with our family. Sorry for doing that to you Sammy! We are so proud of your accomplishments.

Q: How to make and install a LyX Document Class, based on a journal's LaTeX template files I would like to submit an article to a journal. The journal suggests using template files that one can find at https://www.mdpi.com/authors/latex . I have used (on a Windows 10 computer) the following to draft the article: LyX (which I know how to use, assuming that the relevant document class is already installed), MiKTeX (which I do not know how to use directly), and JabRef (which I know how to use). The text of the article is close to ready, based on using the following LyX selections.
Document > Settings > Document Class: Article (Standard Class)
Document > Settings > Bibliography items set as ...
Style format: Basic (BibTeX);
Bibliography Style > Default BibTeX style: plain;
Bibliography Generation > Processor: Default
I would like to install and use a document class based on the journal's template. The current link (on the page cited above) for the template is MDPI_template.zip - contains the template, logo, class and bibliography style files - [last updated 2020/01/20] - https://www.mdpi.com/data/MDPI_template.zip?v=20200120 .
I know very little about TeX, LaTeX, MiKTeX, etc. I do not know how to install new 'packages' for use by LyX (but should be able to follow complete, adequately detailed directions).
The following information may be helpful (depending on the breadth of applicability of the template). I want to submit to the journal "Physics." I want the submission to be an "article." The journal wants bibliographic items to have author names in the form "last-name, initials." The journal wants the bibliography ordered by the order in which citations first appear in the article. (As yet, I have been unable to satisfy – regarding the draft – the last two sentences. I hope that the "template plus installation" will allow me to have or easily select appropriate settings.) The article includes all the tables I anticipate that it will have. I do not anticipate having figures.
I hope that someone will provide a straightforward installation process that I can use.
(Possibly, the process will prove useful for other people, even if they want to submit to other journals that post templates.)

A: Short answer
Lyx > Help > Customization > 5 Installing New Document Classes ...
Long answer
Said that, you will notice that make LyX layouts is not trivial. My suggestion: You will finish munch earlier your article if you learn to edit LaTeX directly.
Some facts to start with this way:
(1) Lyx export to a clean LaTeX code. You can use this to learn, comparing what you type in LyX and what you get in LaTeX. Warning: do that with LaTeX exports of other programs could burn your brain.
(2)  In View > Source Pane you can see that what you will get in LaTeX in real time, but be sure of check always the "Complete Source". A code chunk of the current paragraph will never work alone.  Note that in this site the answers usually have "minimal working examples", i.e., small code examples but always of complete sources, while question of novices often show useless snippets of code because they do not understand the importance of the surrounding code.
(3) LaTeX code is just plain text as .txt but with the .tex extension, so you can edit that it with any plain text editor.
(4) The LaTeX files (.tex) should be processed by a compiler as "pdflatex" (e.g.,  pdflatex myfile.txt will output myfile.pdf). A complex file will need be processed also by auxiliary programs to create some parts (index, references, etc.) and then rerun the compiler twice to integrate all parts in a final PDF. This can be done manually at the system prompt c:\>, or automatically with any program able to launch another programs.
(5) LaTeX editors are plain text editors with some features to make your file easier, as run these programs in some way without open the system console.
(6) TeXworks is one among many of these LaTeX editors. Maybe not the best, but it works and is installed with MikTeX, so it is already in your computer.
(7) TeXworks have templates of standard document in the File menu, so you can open article.tex (for instance) and test it without starting editing from the scratch (just select "pdfLaTeX" in top left dropdown menu, then press the green button). This is good to understand the compilation process a bit more than in LyX, but remember, to learn the structures of LaTeX code, start with a simple "Hello, word":
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
  hello, word
\end{document}

Then try make "hello" in bold, then try to add a small table,  and so on. There are countless free tutorials in Internet to do the basics structures.
(8) There are the myth of the steep learning curve of LaTeX, and while this is very true to become some kind of expert (able to make sentences in spiral, photorealistic  3D images and so on, moreover typing that in Emacs, or vim ...), this is a dirty lie with respect to learn the basic LaTeX structures practicing with some simple editor like TeXworks. It is not so hard guess what will LaTeX do with \maketitle, \tableofcontents, \section{whatever} or \end{document}. With these and one handful of basic commands more (well, a few dozens more,  really ...) you will be able to write presentable documents, so\relax
if you heard this black legend. :)


The time machine of writing: Dance is a Prism Recommended Read!
I can't even begin to explain how it made me feel when I got the message that Dance is one of the recommended reads by Prism Book Alliance. My book, my début novel in the MM Romance genre, was listed among names like Aleksandr Voinov, L.A.Witt and JP Barnaby, among others.
It still feels surreal. Thank you to everyone at Prism Book Alliance for giving my book a chance.
Caroline read and reviewed Dance for the blog and her review is so awesome! Go read it, and follow the blog while you're there - it's a must for every fan of the MM Romance genre.


Palm Beach DramaWorks opened its production of George Bernard Shaw's Candida on October 8, 2010.
In this brilliantly witty exploration of marriage by the Nobel Prize winning playwright, a beautiful Victorian woman finds herself caught in a romantic triangle between her pastor husband and a young poet.
Shaw's plays have a particular verbal crackle, inspired by the playwright's love of the Marxist dialectic. Even ideas with which Shaw did not personally identify were granted an eloquence and patina of conviction that their partisans could rarely match. And at Palm Beach Dramaworks, J. Barry Lewis' fast, smart direction lends Shaw's words a bracing, liquid fluency.
To watch a good production of Candida — and this is a very good production — is to witness the graceful untangling and articulation of a sticky web of relationships. Candida's best scene features neither Candida nor Morell; it is between Marchbanks and Ms. Garnett, the secretary, who is both an old maid and a stick-in-the-mud... actress Lowe works a potent magic with her face, which so far has been held in a rigid grimace, as though she were born with a lemon for a tongue. As Marchbanks waxes and Ms. Garnett sputters, new and heretofore unexpected emotions flicker across that face — flinty little expressions of fear, tiny and abortive articulations of hope, and most of all a horror that her persona is about to collapse, revealing the howling chasm of loneliness at her core. In these three or four minutes, Lowe almost walks away with the show.
If she doesn't, it's only because its actors give us so much so quickly. ...the reverend, played by Thompson with fierce intelligence and big-heartedness, admits to a frailty he sees only dimly. His strength is the strength given him by others, bolstered by love and good faith. Connolly's Marchbanks — shifty, ill-at-ease both in his own skin and in the world he inhabits — knows none of these comforts and scorns them; he sees Thompson's borrowed strength as weakness, identical to his own, but less honest and therefore less worthy.
...Candida, whom Kim Cozort plays as an Athenian goddess: powerful beyond the ken of mortals or men, holding their worldly fates in her hands as surely as she once incubated them in her womb. She is inscrutable and transcendent.
Like Nora in A Doll's House, Candida simmers for much of the evening, but comes on strong when implored to make her choice of mates, as Cozort demonstrates with a wily twinkle and sly grace.
Thompson returns to Dramaworks, wholly different than he was in last season's American Buffalo, though just as clueless as the self-described "moralist and windbag" Morel... he is very assured, with crisp intonations and exaggerated hand gestures, as if he were rehearsing that week's sermon.
Director J. Barry Lewis has a genuine find in Connolly, a recent Yale Drama graduate who manages the trick of making Marchbanks look inept, yet not inane. John Felix lends solid support as Candida's well-heeled father, perhaps an early prototype for Pygmalion's Alfie Doolittle.
While most Shaw plays are better off read than encountered in performance, Candida is an exception, as Lewis and his efficient, entertaining production show.
This version of Candida sadly falls short of the mark. Sadly, because Dramaworks deserves to be commended for taking on a Shaw work. Too few theaters are brave enough to program classic plays, especially Shaw's polemical works, which frequently are debates about social issues.
The principal problem is that two of the three central roles are miscast. Kim Cozort as the wife, Candida, comes across a artificial and arch, instead of playful, charming and wise.
John Leonard Thompson as her husband, Morell, assuredly could pass for a clergyman, but not the athletic, charismatic man who, according to the script, has droves of women hanging on his every word.
Will Connolly as the poet Marchbanks... is a far more compelling player. He and the show's supporting cast give this show what life it has.
A Shaw play certainly is worth seeing, if only for his barbed wit, which this J. Barry Lewis-steered production preserves to a certain extent. But the urgency that would make Candida still topical and absorbing is lacking in this well-meaning production.
...it's Palm Beach Dramaworks' production of Shaw's delicious but dizzyingly dense comic treatise on love and marriage, Candida.
Under J. Barry Lewis' direction, a cadre of talented actors spent Saturday night pitching concepts and witticisms with so much topspin that the show resembled that truckload of Superballs dropped from David Letterman's roof.
That's both Candida's strength and weakness: Shaw unleashes such an abundant torrent of ideas and epigrams that it becomes virtually impossible to keep up.
The cast deftly handles Shaw's biting exchanges that joyfully upend conventionality.
The good news here is Cozort... She retakes center stage as a classic Shavian heroine... Her Candida exudes self-confidence with an ease as natural as respiration while uttering pronouncements that shocked turn of the century audiences and still rattle a few today.
Thompson stunned audiences last season as the venal and feral Teach in Dramaworks' American Buffalo. He is nearly unrecognizable, but totally convincing as the paternalistic, dependable "good" man who is more dependent on his wife than he realizes.
It's Connolly–rail thin with untamed hair and a perpetual deer-in-the-headlights look– whose performance will divide audiences as either too breathless and overwrought to be credible, or a painfully accurate portrait of an immature naïf whose timeless foolishness can be seen in Renaissance paintings and the closest shopping mall. We favor the latter.
It's almost becoming unnecessary to say that Michael Amico's set for Dramaworks is a finely observed environment bedecked with just the right furniture, props and accessories.
Candida plays at Palm Beach DramaWorks through November 21, 2010.

In September 2018 Crafts Alive: The Gloucestershire Guild at Rodmarton Manor took place at Rodmarton Manor and Gardens, nr Cirencester, Gloucestershire, GL7 6PF by kind permission of John and Sarah Biddulph.
So writes eminent Arts patron Richard Paice of his arrival at Rodmarton Manor for the Crafts Alive festival put on by the Gloucestershire Guild of Craftsmen from 5-9 September.
John and Sarah Biddulph, the fourth generation of the family to live at Rodmarton, opened the property for this special event.
The festival was the brainchild of Guild shop manager and curator Jo Swait, and textile artist Liz Lippiatt. They had the idea of displaying contemporary craft work in the Manor house, alongside the unique Arts and Crafts furnishings, with additional events to allow for public participation.
There were talks, demonstrations and workshops and children's activities, a historic plants stall and a physical theatre performance by students of the University of Gloucestershire, as well as a stunning exhibition by members of the Guild, and invited exhibitors of international repute and artists from Victoria Works studios in Chalford. Guild member Mike Bigland curated a sculpture trail in the beautiful Rodmarton gardens.
Visitors loved it. 'Very exciting and different', 'Amazing everything', 'Brilliant range of quality crafts, sympathetic to this wonderful setting' – these are just some of the comments recorded.
Some of the original craftsmen at Rodmarton were founder members of the Gloucestershire Guild of Craftsmen in 1933, and the legacy of the Arts and Crafts movement is alive in the high quality of work produced by members today. Arts and Crafts historian Mary Greensted, who was chairman of the Guild for the last 10 years, has a particular expertise in the house and its history.
Prior to 'Crafts Alive at Rodmarton Manor' from the 5-9 September 2018, a site specific physical theatre performance directed by Gillian Yates and performed by University of Gloucestershire Level 6 Performing Arts students took place. In partnership with the Gloucestershire Guild and with special thanks to Blackfriars in Gloucester, this performance gave a lovely response to the wonderful work done by the Gloucestershire Guild and touched upon human relationships, the good and the bad. The project was run as part of the Arts Council funded 'Crafts Alive at Rodmarton Manor'.
Charlotte Abrahams, renowned design writer and curator, will furnish the bedrooms with work by contemporary designer-makers responding to the spirit of Rodmarton. Look out for Sue Paraskeva, Moira Buckley, Liz Valenti, Natasha Kerr, Zoe Hillyard, Nicki Jarvis, Hannah Louise Lamb, Charlotte Hodes, Rosalind Wyatt, Cleo Mussi, Sandra Sashou, and a group of artists from Victoria Works Studios in Chalford, who are creating new, site-specific work for the Stonehall Bedroom.
Mike Bigland, Guild member and experienced curator presents SCULPTURE IN THE GARDEN in the beautiful Arts & Crafts gardens. Lucy Abel Smith of Fresh Air Quenington will be the selection consultant.
Exhibitors include: Adrian Bates, Susan Early, Mike Bigland, Lucy Birtles, Colin Hawkins, LocoGlass, Louise Hawkins, LocoGlass, Matt Tradgett, Nigel Williams, Marie Shepherd, Caroline Barnett, Richard Cresswell.
Julie who runs Miserden Nurseries, and was formerly a journalist and researcher for BBC Gardeners' World, will display and sell her selected plants & topiary. On Friday 7th Julie will demonstrate planting methods for a late summer pot that will last through the winter, linking in with Rodmarton gardens. She will be present on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Following their successful performance – 'Landscape' – Students of Physical Theatre at the University of Gloucestershire will be performing a sound and movement piece inspired by Rodmarton and directed by Gillian Yates. Costumes will be designed by Guild members Helen Foot, Sarah Tradgett, Kathryn Clarke, Jenny Bicat and Liz Lippiatt.
A contemporary design for textile hangings inspired by appliqué techniques used in those created by Hilda Sexton's community project of the 1920's. The modern interpretation will be displayed in the Arts & Crafts Tent for the duration of Crafts Alive before installation in its permanent home.

As a young boy, Visser began hunting birds with his dad's single shot .22. After obtaining his PH license, Visser realized it was his choice as a profession. "I guess hunting and the need for challenges are something a good PH is born with. I truly believe all successful professional hunters have that instinct. You can learn to be a PH, but without that inner calling, you will not achieve outstanding success," says Visser. Role models motivated him to follow their leads and deliver exceptional service.
Quagga Safaris, established in 1991, is based in Limpopo province of South Africa. For diversity of species, there are two main camps, one in Limpopo Valley and the other in the Free State. To accommodate clients' wishes, Visser also hunts Namibia, Mozambique, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Botswana. When hunting plains game, he carries his old and trusted Marlin .30-30 with open sights. For dangerous game, his choice is a Krieghoff .470 NE double rifle or .500 NE double rifle. Visser commented he has a passion to hunt Cape buffalo.
Quagga Safaris offers many excursions such as photographic safaris to Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia and in South Africa, Cape Town and Kruger National Park. There is some limited fishing in local rivers, tiger fishing in Chobe and Lake Kariba, and deep-sea fishing in the Mozambique waters.
With the help of clients, Quagga Safaris supports a local village school with 110 children. Weekly visits to the school are made with clients who donate gifts, money, books and food. Meat from animals hunted by clients is also donated. Assistance has been given to the community for drilling water wells and erecting bathrooms. Quagga participates in the local anti-poaching patrol. Visser has been involved in training professional hunters and educates them about conservation programs as hunters and game farmers.
Visser has been a member of SCI since 1995 and Quagga Safaris has exhibited at the annual SCI convention. For the past 18 years, Visser has been a SCI master measurer and takes part in that program.

The Girondines players have been playing at the Stade Robert Monseau since the 2018 season and the partnership between the city of Saint-Médart-en-Jalles and the Girondins de Bordeaux club.
