Open View: Intrepid Ibex is Here!!
I can't wait till the time is 12:00 to start the download of Ubuntu 8.10. Yes! That's right, the next version of Ubuntu is here! (finally! ;-)). After the four alpha releases we can now try our hands on the final release on 30th October 2008. This is how Ubuntu's is version numbered 8.10 means 10th month of year 2008. The looks are pretty cool with dark themes and most of the work has gone towards the internals of the OS. It seems that the booting time of the OS is like magic! Today after updating my machine with Intrepid Ibex, I will post a detailed first look of the OS. Till then, c ya!

Q: Defining a Function in a Neighborhood of (0,0) with Implicit Function Theorem
Let $h(x,y) = x^4 + y^4 + 3x^2 + 6y + 6$. Show that $h(x,y) = 6$ defines a function $y = f(x)$ in a neighborhood of $(0,0)$.

I think what I need to do here is to show that $\frac{\partial h}{\partial y}$:
$$\frac{\partial h}{\partial y} = 4y^3 + 6 $$
is non-zero, and then I can apply the Implicit Function Theorem, which would show that such a function does in fact exist.
Do I have the right approach to this problem?
If so, how do I guarantee that the partial derivative is non-zero? Is it because we are looking around a neighborhood of $(0,0)$, and in this neighborhood the value of the partial derivative will never be $0$?

Petition to: Issue funding for young children with type 1 diabetes in schools.
You are in: Home >> e-Petitions >> Petition to: Issue funding for young children with type 1 diabetes in schools.
This petition will now be considered at the July meeting of the Borough Council.
This petition has been passed to the Head of Democratic Services. It is likely that it will be considered by Borough Council on 19th June 2012 but this will be confirmed when the agenda is published. The lead petitioner will also be notified of the date.
Children with Type 1 Diabetes, who are of a young age and in Primary School are unable to look after their own condition. They are not able to check their own blood glucose levels, or administer their own insulin doses either by pen or through an insulin pump. These young children are unable to recognise/understand when their blood sugar levels are low or high. Therefore it is imperative that they have adult supervision to help them do regular blood glucose testing. Without this support, if their blood sugar drops too low they are at risk of going into a coma. If left untreated it could prove fatal. Diabetic children need an adult to help support them. Without this care, they are being put at a great disadvantage Please provide funding for our children Please do not exclude them unnecessarily from school Please enable them to experience school life, to enjoy it and be safe Please don't allow our children's health & well being to be jeopardised Please give us your support!


In the West, philosophy is generally confined to the domain of the intellect, and music to the domain of the emotion. This book makes either domain the location for the other. African musical aesthetics constitutes this location, and has its home in it. Moreover, since the separation of the domain of the intellect and the domain of emotion represents a bifurcation of what it is to be a human being, and by making either domain the location of the other, what African musical aesthetics accomplishes is the affirmation of a unified sense of what it is to be a human being. Accordingly, the unity of philosophy and music give rises to a unified sense of being human. It is to such unity that African musical aesthetics takes us.
For African musical aesthetics to accomplish this task, this book challenges the conventional Western understanding of philosophy—an understanding that projects Africa as devoid of philosophy. It is this projection that pervaded Africa during the colonial period, and it is the projection that is challenged in African philosophy. From an African philosophical perspective African musical aesthetics turns out to be an emancipatory process that seeks to affirm the humanity of Africans but also a process that seeks to affirm common humanity. Music is not solely a matter of audiology, what is played, or what one dances to. It has its elemental task in calling our attention to what we are as human beings. In so far as it is sensuous, it constitutes us as members of the sensible world, and links us intrinsically to all that is sensuous. It is more than humanism. Music registers us as members of nature. It is nature naturing.

Midland Rolls With the Punches
On their second album, the Dripping Springs-based trio doubles down on the classic country sound that made them famous.
By Cat Cardenas
Midland outside of Nau's Enfield Drug in Austin, Texas. Harper Smith
Midland couldn't give less of a shit about whether you think they're country enough—they know they're the real deal.
Since releasing their hit song "Drinkin' Problem" in 2016, the Texas trio has racked up a certified platinum single, released an album that debuted at number one on the Billboard Country Albums chart, and snagged a Grammy nomination along the way. They've made a name for themselves by carving out a space in the country genre where custom rhinestone suits and Southern rock harmonies are back in style. Even Diplo's taken a page from Midland's book, using bassist Cameron Duddy's custom Fort Lonesome suit as a reference point for his outfit at this year's Stagecoach festival where he performed with Lil Nas X. Still, they've often wound up in the crosshairs of internet critics who question the authenticity of their vintage country vibe.
Sitting across from me in the green room at the Moody Theater, lead singer Mark Wystrach tells me the band isn't interested in proving themselves anymore. They'd rather let their work speak for itself. "You can try and poke as many holes as you want," he says. "But we'll melt your face off at a show."
Given the success of their debut album On the Rocks, the trio would've had license to pivot their sound closer toward the mainstream pop-country world. Starting today, they're touring for their sophomore album, a fourteen-track effort named Let It Roll released last month; it shows off the kinds of tight harmonies and nostalgic arrangements you'd expect to spill out of the jukebox at your favorite honky-tonk joint.
"Playboys" delivers electrifying fun, and also displays the lyrical wordplay Midland does so well: "She said, 'I thought that I could change you'/No, but you were born a playboy/So get on the stage and play boys … This whole world would be a dull place, boys/If it was all work and no play, boys." "Fast Hearts and Slow Towns" and "Cheatin' Songs" offer refreshing takes on familiar themes like first loves and betrayal. That's partially due to the fact that lead guitarist Jess Carson, the most reserved of the three members, is a trove of musical references and deep cuts. And while Wystrach's deep vocal stylings are central to Midland's trademark sound, Duddy and Carson take the lead on two songs toward the end of the album. "Roll Away," written and performed by Carson, is a melodic soft-rock song that would feel at home on an Allman Brothers record. One highlight of the album, "Lost in the Night," is an intimate, Eagles-tinged country song, where a surprise sax solo and Duddy's voice conjure up romance and longing.
Midland is no stranger to retooling or repurposing something until it fits just right: the album is flecked with songs written on the road, along with a few tunes they originally demoed back in 2014 at El Paso's Sonic Ranch studio. One of the songs that made the cut after a few years on the shelf, "Fourteen Gears," is a fan favorite. It's one of the songs that got the band noticed in the first place, but this new polished version shows off how far they've come since that first recording. They're just as eager to show off the fact that they can do better than their first hit song.
Despite collaborating with Nashville heavy-hitters Shane McAnally and Josh Osborne to cowrite songs on both of their albums, Midland also made it a point to operate outside of the country music mecca, opting to settle in the Austin area instead. They might draw from classic country artists, but they want to forge their own path. "We understand the system," says Wystrach. "We just wanted to come in and bend the rules as far as we could."
Edi Patterson Is the Holy Terror of 'The Righteous Gemstones'
Looking at Midland's unconventional path to success two albums in, it seems as though they've met their goal. The three musicians are well out of their twenties, both Duddy and Carson are married with kids, and Wystrach is expecting his first child with fianceé and Outdoor Voices founder Ty Haney in November. Each of them came off a series of successful careers—Carson owned a vintage clothes store, Duddy was directing music videos for stars like Bruno Mars, and Wystrach found work as an actor and model before cofounding a footwear business.
But when they got together as a trio around 2013, something fell into place. They quit their jobs, and moved to Texas, where Carson and his wife had already settled down. "When we decided to leave our lives and careers in L.A. for Texas, it was like science fiction," Duddy says. "We weren't satisfied unless we were doing music, but to tell your family and friends that you were going to go off and start a country band was like telling people you were leaving to go to space. A lot of people thought we'd be coming back with our tails between our legs."
For a stretch of time they hopped from bar to bar throughout Texas, playing afternoon sets to crowds of ten people. But a lot has changed since those early days. In the past year alone, the band has performed on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, collaborated with Brooks & Dunn on a version of "Boot Scootin' Boogie," and worked with Dennis Quaid for the music video of their single "Mr. Lonely." Still, they're chasing an even bigger moment. "No one's guaranteed success and you've got to be prepared for anything that comes your way," Wystrach says, adding: "There's a lot more to be done."

Is your check engine light on with a code P0420 and you don't know what to do? Its 2-litre engine up-front and rear-wheel drive mean it's off to a fantastic start, and the cabin is built with performance driving in mind, featuring supportive bucket seats and driving controls positioned within easy reach. If you're looking for affordable used cars, compare our used car prices to the competition, and then test rent one of our cars for 3 days. Based upon the specifications, like engine capacity of the car, safety standards, and repair cost, insurance companies have divided the cars into insurance groups. To sum it up, if you are looking for cars that have inexpensive insurance costs, then it would be best for you to look for a car with high safety standards and your driving experience. In China, the government wants to have 5,000,000 electric cars on the road by 2020.
Lastly, what also makes great sense about owning these cars is not only that they offer you a handy motorcycle towing tool but that if you commute to work via motorcycle in the warmer months these cars are there in your garage when you need enclosed transport for the below zero winter months.
The Ford Escape (and its near-twin, the Mercury Mariner ) was one of the first SUVs to get a hybrid drivetrain, and with technology licensed from Toyota, it worked pretty darn well—and yet these cars were largely ignored by the buying public. Only Chevrolet offers a relatively inexpensive alternative to VW's now-disgraced diesels. The coupe's long-hood, short rear-end layout would become the standard for sports cars such as the Chevrolet Camaro, Dodge Challenger and others that have not withstood the test of time. Look at the evolution of design in high-end cars and you see a story of long-term product refinement. It is one of the most fuel-efficient cars available and is good for the environment because it is a low emissions vehicle. People shopping for less expensive cars typically need that car to perform practical roles like transport their family, groceries, etc. Caught early, most auto air conditioning problems are fairly easy and inexpensive to fix.
Not everyone is looking for a city car or supermini, so check out the list below to see the cars with the lowest running costs across a range of other significant market sectors. The 2016 Hyundai Accent continues the Korean brand's trend of over-delivering on style and quality, especially when examining the materials used to make up the subcompact's passenger compartment.
So I do think it's entirely possible for practical cars to look sharper, just like everyone can now afford poorly built but well designed furniture at Ikea. The reason is that different make/model cars have different lease-end residual values — predicted future resale values. Its low purchase price has a lot to do with putting the Versa Note 2nd among the cheapest cars to own. I live in an apartment complex where people drive Mercedes Benz, BMWs, Audis, Big Ford Trucks, well….really nice, shiny, expensive cars.


Dallas, TX – July 14, 2011 (via PressReleaseNation.com) — To be successful today, it's essential to STAND OUT FROM THE CROWD. It's as simple as being the big text among the little text. Prices are similar, products and services look alike, and the competition is closing in with new strategies every day. We need to ask ourselves: What do we bring to the table that is so memorable, so outstanding, and so special that people will choose us?
* What makes me memorable is _____________.
* What makes my work outstanding is _____________.
* What makes my value special is _____________.
* Don't erase anything. Leave old words where they are and start new words beside them. Together, they form patterns and open a window into the heart.
* List more than just one thing – maybe half a dozen. Then start whittling away by being as honest as possible.

I think this is my friend Rich's favourite Wilfred Owen poem.
I have no quarrel with people from other countries. It is the men (and yes they are men) who seek power who create the hostility that creates war, who seek to impose their views, who seek to gain. It is those we should oppose. For it is the gullible who go forth in righteous fervour to perform the atrocities.


Fluid Friction, an international company based in the heart of Hong Kong, is dedicated to producing innovative and original graphic novels. Incorporated in late 2006, the company's specialized in-house team, led by directors Simon Squibb, Helen Griffiths and Harsh Sabale, takes a unique approach to the creative process behind graphic novel production, working on every stage from the first conceptual discussion through to the release of each finished product.
Their first book, DevaShard: At First Light has already been released in Hong Kong and it features a cover by world renowned fantasy artist Simon Bisley. The second volume will have a cover by favorite creator Frank Cho.
We spoke with Spencer Douglass, Business Development Manager of Fluid Friction, about launching the "first ever true East meets West graphic novel".
Newsarama: Manga has become a worldwide phenomenon but how do you view the current state of the comic book industry/manga in Asia?
Spencer Douglass: This is an interesting question. In the West, manga is generally viewed as the Asian comic industry, but in reality many countries have their own distinctive comic styles and products, some of which have existed many decades. To evaluate how they are doing, I will give a little breakdown: Asia as a whole still has a very vibrant comics market, though the traditional production and consumption points have changed somewhat. China, Taiwan and Korea are now all very important markets both in terms of production and consumption and they also all host major comic fairs. On the other hand, Hong Kong and Singapore have declined. Thailand is growing, as is Indonesia (but there is an enormous problem with illegal copies in Indonesia), Malaysia is stable and Philippines still favors American comics, India is still very much virgin territory (pardon the pun), but it's extremely young population (60% under 25) is manifesting an ever stronger desire for this kind of product. However, it is true to say that Japanese manga continues to dominate the Asian comic scene. Of course, manga has been widely available and extremely popular in Asia for 10 - 20 years before it became popular in the States and UK.
Overall the comic market in Asia continues to thrive and remains virtually un-penetrated by any Western style comics (save perhaps Asterix, TinTin and Archie).
NRAMA: How did the idea to create DevaShard: At First Light come about then? What influenced you guys to want to create comics in the first place?
SD: Originally we were approached by an Indian partner with whom we have worked closely with on various projects. He is a lifelong devotee of the Mahabharata and was throwing about the idea of doing a graphic novel on it. We loved the idea and said we would take it on. We then proceeded to set up an entire company from scratch to achieve this and as the project has progressed it has taken on a true life of it's own so that we have become extremely focused on producing graphic novels and comics of very high quality, bringing in ideas and artistic/writing input from the East and West (HK is an ideal place to do this, as it is a merging point for the 2 cultures) and combining this with true worldwide launches.
So that this all makes sense, I should explain that our background is one of the most innovative creative agencies in Asia. We have been working closely with art for over eight years and have always been looking for an opportunity to do something truly creative and original. When this suggestion landed on our doorstep, we couldn't wait to get started!
DevaShard itself will span 25 books, which are each 56 pages long, perfect bound and have a thick matte artcard cover and internal thick full color gloss pages.
NRAMA: What are some of the stories that will be featured in DevaShard: At First Light, and what sort of a difference or an impact do you guys hope to achieve with DevaShard?
SD: The story of DevaShard is inspired by an ancient Indian text and the artwork has been produced by a team of artists half from the established industries here in Eastern Asia and half from the established Western industries, yet which has a slightly more Western feel (as the penciler is Irish) therefore this is truly a product created by a meeting of cultures and different experiences from working in comic writing and artwork from totally different parts of the world. I do not think that anyone else can truly claim to be in the same position. Certainly there are outsourcings, consultancies and who knows possibly occasional guest artists from other parts of the world. But to fly out to the Far East, bring your writers and artists with you, set up an office, hire extremely talented and experienced local comic writers and artists, study Eastern history and culture and then put them all together onto developing a concept and finally bring it to life in comic art form. I'm sure that must be something pretty new.
NRAMA: Would you mind introducing some of the creators involved with the project?
SD: Not at all. Some of the main players are: Helen Griffiths, our Creative Director; Benjamin Hall, our 1st writer; Keith Burns, our head penciler; Johnny Tam, our head colorist; and Ken Cheung, our head inker. John McCrea also does consulting on the project.
NRAMA: Who do you see as your target audience?
1) Older teenagers - 15-19 with an interest in comics and all things cool. They may be traditional Western comic readers or they may have an interest in Eastern products like manga, or perhaps they are just cool people with the latest i-touch, some lucky jeans and a good selection of music.
2) University students - Guys and girls who have an interest in comics, East or West. People who need some low-involvement reading after all the heavy college books, but still want something that can satisfy them. And those who love art.
3) Young adults - People up to the age of 25 who are into gaming, films, comics, collectibles and all that is cool.
4) Collectors and lifelong comic readers - people of any age who just love high quality comics and graphic novels.
5) Art lovers - this is a general category spanning all age groups and just refers to those who are impressed with our unique, highly finished and attractive art style. These are not necessarily comic or graphic novel readers at all.
NRAMA: Will it be distributed via Diamond? Otherwise, which method of distribution are you focusing on?
SD: It will be distributed by Diamond wherever they have a strong presence, such as US and UK and in other parts of the world through local distributors. So in Hong Kong, FEML are distributing, in Macao Poema Language Services, in India IBH and so on and so forth. We may also consider working with other distributors later to get a stronger presence in bookshops and libraries, as this product has some cultural background and we are not yet sure how successful Diamonds route into these areas is.
NRAMA: Being a Hon Kong-based company, are you guys intending to experiment with kung fu-style comics and Chinese mythologies as well?
SD: We are certainly not opposed to doing comics based on Chinese history, legends and mythology and in the long term it is likely that we may commence some projects like that. However, we will not seek to issue just a translated Hong Kong or Chinese comic, rather we would focus on keeping our special international flair or quality in all of our works.
SD: We have not looked at Malaysian folklore yet, but Malaysia is one of the markets we are launching in so I am sure we will be looking much more closely in future. Thailand is another country with an extremely rich folklore and mythological history which as of yet has not had much exposure in the West.
NRAMA: In your opinion, what is the appeal of Asian mythologies and folklore to the Western world?
SD: Your question is a very interesting one. I personally believe it is a factor of awareness. 20 years ago the average person in the West did not have a good awareness of China, India, Malaysia etc. But as so much of the world's production shifts to these areas, so do people become much more aware of individual countries and cultures. As part of this there is a natural raise in interest and exporting of local cultures, both ancient and modern. This is a trend which I believe we will see continuing for some time into the future.
NRAMA: What other projects are you working on?
SD: We are currently talking to many international partners about film, game and merchandise products. We have especially been concentrating on talking with large studios about the film production and the feedback so far is very positive which gives us a lot to look forward to in the future. More recently we have taken up conversations with 2 major companies about computer games. Regarding merchandise, we already have some clothing and other items, but are especially keen to work with some of the greatest sculptors in the world to release top quality collector's statues and mini-busts.

Q: Can I put a script tag inside a table? I'm currently in college taking a webdesign class and we are working with javascript. We have an assignment to create a table that gives us random numbers inside using

The table I'm supposed to be making has 3 columns and 10 rows with 10 random variables from 50-100 in one column.
edit: Here is exactly what I have to do for the assignment:
All the numbers are random
Create code to make a table with a border
inside  the table
    •   create at least 1 function to call 10 random variables from 50-100
    •   use if/else statements
    •   post a pic how you feel about each letter grade
outside the table
    •   average the total score for all 10 grades and tell me the average score

A: Use the DOM:

document.getElementById("1").innerHTML = Math.random();
document.getElementById("a").innerHTML = Math.random();

This, of course, can be massively improved upon. You could use a JS loop to iterate through the elements. Definitely do not use my code char for char. The idea behind using 1 character ids of both letters and numbers is to demonstrate the versatility of the DOM.
As per the OP's comment, you would end up with a webpage looking something like this:

New consultancy launched by group of former Kia, Hyundai, BCA and Volvo executives
06/02/2020 in Supplier News
2 people found this useful
A new consultancy is bringing global expertise in passenger cars, motorcycles and commercial vehicles together to help automotive firms devise and manage new projects and strategies for change.
The experts at Elevenci include finance consulting veteran Mike Walters, who has worked with Capital Bank, BMW Financial Services and BNP Paribas, who has become Elevenci's managing consultant, and managing director John Waring, an IT specialist who has helped manufacturers, finance houses, leasing operations and dealers on optimising their use of technology and people.
Client development director Gary Elliott was Kia's UK head of marketing in the late 1990s and the RMIF's sales and marketing director from 2004 to 2006, and has since worked across a range of functions in strategic sales, marketing, general insurance and product development roles in UK and international markets.
Andrew Shaw has joined the senior team as a consultant. Shaw, who launched BCA's Buyer Funding business in 2013, has held director roles in a variety of organisations including Lex Service Group, Hyundai UK and Volvo Car UK.
Elevenci said it will provide manufacturers, fleet and leasing providers and finance houses with "outstanding levels of automotive and external industry knowledge" to help automotive clients "to de-risk decisions, accelerate change and maximise ROI".
"Historically, the industry has had to deal with some significant and far-reaching issues – including globalisation and emissions legislation – but never has it had to cope with so many diverse, competing challenges and opportunities occurring at the same time. You could say the industry faces an existential crisis," said Waring.
"This year will be a critical one for the industry; the decisions made in the next six to 12 months will have a definitive and seismic influence on the commercial success of the industry, certainly for the next three to five years and probably well beyond that."
He said that much of the discussions around change has focussed on carmakers but the fleet, leasing and finance sectors will be affected too.
"With political and environmental issues, a post-Brexit economy, China and inefficient legacy structures to account for, many businesses across the entire automotive sector are struggling to adapt fast enough, let alone maximise the opportunities presented by increasing digitalisation, alternative powertrains and new mobility services. This is where Elevenci can help," added Waring.
Associates in the business include former Volvo Middle East network development boss Steve Beattie, Gabi Whitfield who was recently director of international PR at Jaguar Land Rover, and Gerard O'Neill, who has previously headed global retail network planning for Bentley and Jaguar Land Rover.

"It could have been a story but we didn't want to have a story besides a football story".
Xherdan Shaqiri will miss the clash as Klopp anticipates he is likely to receive a bad reception due to political reasons.
"I will not make it "Shaqiri said" or "wanted" actually".
"We came here as a football team, representing one of the biggest clubs in the world".
"But we are not here for that, we are here to play football".
Liverpool have left Swiss worldwide Xherdan Shaqiri out of the squad for Tuesday's Champions League tie at Red Star Belgrade, saying they were uncertain over what sort of reception he would receive in the Serbian capital. Shaqiri is our player, we love him, and he will play for us a lot of times, but not on Tuesday.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said: "We will take pretty much everyone".
"We are in Serbia, we respect that 100 per cent".
The Serbian champions will hope that their supporters will make a difference on Tuesday evening and help them get a positive result to make some noise in a highly competitive Champions League Group C which also consists of Italian power Napoli and French champions PSG.
Former Arsenal star Nicholas seems to think that the Reds will take all three points with a 2-0 victory.
"We need to cool the situation down".
As for the team news, Liverpool welcome Naby Keita and Dejan Lovren back and they travelled with the squad.
"Even if Paris loses, they can still get 10 points by winning the two games and the last one is here".
Klopp should stick to the front three of Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino, and Mohamed Salah. These games are always tough to start off with and Red Star will give Liverpool plenty to deal with in the opening stages but once they get over that then they've got the skill to get a couple of goals.

Kim McLean Down Under: Happy Birthday!
Almost to the day... a year since Glorious Applique commenced.... Pip from Down Under has started a new blog for more lovers of Kim McLean's delightful Applique patterns.
Reading all of the posts and comments from our Big Sister Blog: Glorious Applique, and seeing the Danish and Dutch aficionados get on board has been inspirational and informative. Thankyou to all of the trailblazers...lets keep the party going!
With Kim's blessing here is a photo from the workshop she tutored in Sydney in February...already reported by Quiltsalott on The Glorious Applique site. Further posts by me will show individual blocks from Kim's original Flower Garden.

Onleihe. Peter and the Wolf / Peter und der Wolf
Peter and the Wolf / Peter und der Wolf
Länge: 29 min
These two ballet recordings, based on the music of the French composer Maurice Ravel and the Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev, are recommended to every child, youth and adult whose heart and mind are open for a musical and dancing encounter with the world of fairy tales. Both of them are about a small boy and his dealings with the nature surrounding him. Despite there similarities, though, the two works are fundamentally different. It is the difference between the two which makes this combination so appealing. There are vast differences in content, the structure of the plot, the type of composition and the treatment of orchestral instruments, on the one hand. On the other, the means used by the Nederlands Dans Theater and the Royal Ballet School to realize the material make "L'enfant et les sortilèges" and "Peter and the Wolf" two entirely unique works. "L'enfant et les sortilèges" presents a fantastic ballet fairy tale rich in witty inspirations in dance, costume and stage design with the choreography and design of Jiří Kyliáns and the pioneering Parisian opera allusion under Lorin Maazel. This production was awarded several prizes. And rightly so, for nary any other ballet has ever been met with such enthusiasm and amusement while deeply touching its audiences.
Titel: Peter and the Wolf / Peter und der Wolf

Nokia 5 was a global launch and not just for China like the last time they did with the Nokia six. So today I would be telling you guys seven reasons why you should definitely consider giving this phone a short. So, let's get started with the course of time and passage of yours. We have been seeing the increment in the size of phones, earlier 5.3-inch devices are known as Tablets and now 5.5-inch devices are the average size of a phone. But still there is a majority of the audience who still prefers using a compact phone and hence the demand for such phones are increasing. So it is nice to see Nokia taking that into account, and thus Nokia 5 has just a 5.2-inch display which is quite compact in design. There is literally no device in this price segment which has come out with Android Nougat 7.1.1 software. But no here made that possible for the Nokia 5 and have promised to give constant Android security monthly patch updates and even said that they will get the next Android version updates and that as and when they are launched.
The only phone with Android Nougat in this price segment is the Moto G 4 plus, but it has Nougat 7.0 and not 7.1.1. We could have expected a Snapdragon 6 to 5 from Nokia, but Snapdragon 430 is also proven to be a beast. It has 8 ARM Cortex A53 cores, which are clocked at 1.4 gigahertz each and in spite of being built on 28-nanometer architecture. It is void, power efficient and gets the job done quite nicely. And be it general gaming performance this chip has not disappointed till now. So hope that Nokia 5 also delivers the same result of almost all the important sensors like the auto brightness sensor, gyroscope sensor, so that you can also enjoy 360 videos and some we are content on the go. We also have the fingerprint sensor, which is nowadays found on every other smartphone and other sensors like compass, magnetometer, proximity sensor. An accelerometer is also present and is expected to serve their purpose nicely.
After Google sold Motorola to Lenovo, there have been only Moto G line of devices which comes with stock Android experience, but lately, plenty of things were wrong with the Moto G 4 plus, and even Moto G 4 plus have been receiving monthly Android patch updates which they use to get. So, as far as Nokia goes they announced that they will provide stock Android experience on the global unit which will attract the stock Android fan base.
With the entry of Chinese manufacturers, we have been seeing the concept of hybrid SIM slots, which means that you can either use two nano SIM cards or one SIM card and a micro SD card, but on Nokia 5, this restriction is not there as it comes with two SIM card slots and a dedicated micro SD card slot with which you can expand storage up to 128 gigabytes. Nokia 5 possesses a 13 megapixel rear facing a camera and an 8-megapixel front-facing camera, and looking at the Nokia 6 camera performance, we can say that it will perform decently. Yes, the performance will not be better than the cameras found on the Moto G 4 plus, but Nokia 5 will definitely beat many Chinese competitors in the camera department.


Ponytails just for the gym? Not according to Olivia Munn.
If you thought ponytails were just for the gym, think again. Olivia Munn's easy up-do at the season 3 premiere of The Newsroom inspired us for more occasions than just hitting the treadmill.
Our November covergirl, of course, caught our eye with more than just a great head of hair. In fact, Olivia shined head-to-toe in an Oscar de la Renta cocktail dress, Graziela Gems earrings, a Judith Leiber clutch, Dana Rebecca Designs ring and Casadei heels.
But back to the topic at hand: the hair—because, it's that good!
The actress defined "effortless elegance" with a slightly undone ponytail, packed with plenty of curls and volume. And while we have no upcoming red carpets to speak of, we are seriously coveting Olivia's locks. Good news is, this style is totally attainable and versatile—whether you plan to wear yours to run track or errands!


Christmas has come and gone,and its another brand new year!The Christmas trees are taken down,the turkeys are all eaten up(including the bones being used to boil super duper ABC soup!).
I had several Christmas parties at home,and some of them were so noisy that my dear neighbours' patience must have been severely tried,in spite of their graciousness.By the way,I have 2 wonderful families as neighbours.On my right is Pakcik Ahmad and his gentle and quiet makcik,both of them retirees from the civil service.On my left is Mr Najib and his red-head wife(she is of Arabic descent) and his fabulously gorgeous daughters,red-heads too!I am very blessed to have neighbours like them.They are ever ready to help and always willing to watch out for our house whenever we travel,even helping to water my plants.I leave my house keys with either one of my neighbours when we go out of town.That's how good they are.
My first Christmas party was for my cell group from church and some invited guest.This was the mildest of all the parties I had.
Next one was a family Christmas dinner with my parents,siblings and relatives.Noisiness level was 7.5 out of ten.(We are mainly FooChows,famed to talk very loudly,especially in the presence of other FooChows,all the more related ones).
It was also the Winter Solstice Tang Yuan Festival,also known as Guo Dong.The Foochows eat these glutinous rice balls rolled in sweetened ground peanuts and ground soya beans.Yummy!!
And my dad's 69th birthday.Here is mum and dad with their grandchildren,minus 2 more who couldn't make it back from Melbourne,Australia.Two more grandkids due to enter the family with a big bang by this Chinese New Year.
The 3rd party was for a bunch of Dental Students from the Dental Faculty of UM.I invite them to my home every Christmas for a good wholesome Christmas dinner.
They would play games,sing Christmas carols and exchange gifts.This year,there were about 30 of them and these are students between the age of 20 to 25.
This was was 9.9 out of 10 in terms of noisiness level.The next morning,I promptly presently both my wonderful(and long-suffering) neighbours with a big box of Ferrero Rocher, each.
I think it should be "the blogging dentist",yes?
Actually my maid did a lot of the food preparation,I am not super woman lah!
Your turkey need more suntan oil la. When can we organize a pot-luck dinner with the other ACS forummers at your place?
OK,you organise.I will offer my place as the venue.
Yah,my turkeys a little pucat hoh?

The legs of the headboard are not attached so the first job is to screw these into the main headboard unit. On each leg are 2 pre-drilled holes which you need to align to the 2 pre-drilled in the main headboard. The pre-drilled holes in the headboard will be located under the fabric so run your thumb slowly over the back of the headboard to locate the holes, once located use your screwdriver to pierce a small hole in the fabric and securely attach the leg to the headboard with the screws provided.
Bed bases will sometimes have pre-drilled holes at both the front of the bed and the back, if the base has storage drawers on one side only, the placement of the headboard will determine which side the drawers will open on so please keep this in mind. Large bolt holes will be hidden beneath the fabric so these will need locating first.
Carefully screw the bolt into the hole and leave about 4cm of thread visible. Repeat the same procedure with the second bolt.
With the bolts firmly screwed into place, slide the prongs on the headboard legs in between the bed and the exposed bolt. Once both legs are in place start to tighten the bolts so the headboard legs are secured tightly between the bed base and the bolt.
Ideally the bottom of the headboard needs to sit flush to the top of the mattress, if you need to make any adjustments, loosen the bolts and lift the headboard to the required height before re-tightening the bolts.

Zuckerberg to it to his Facebook wall to say "I've called President Obama to express my frustration over the damage the government is creating for all of our future," adding "Unfortunately, it seems like it will take a very long time for true full reform."
The Facebook CEO says to keep the Internet strong it needs to be secure, so we need to keep it that way.
At Facebook he says a lot of time and effort goes into making their services safer by encrypting communications, using protocols for traffic, and encouraging people to use multiple factors for authentication.
Zuckerberg still has some ways to go before we can all count on Facebook to 'do their part' as he posted on his wall, considering just last year his account was hacked to highlight a security flaw.
He finished up by saying "So it's up to us — all of us — to build the internet we want. Together, we can build a space that is greater and a more important part of the world than anything we have today, but is also safe and secure."

'Star Wars: Rogue Squadron Adds 'Wonder Woman' Production Designer
Skyler Shuler June 1, 2021 2 min read
Director Patty Jenkins is bringing her Wonder Woman production designer to a galaxy far, far, away. According to The Ronin, Aline Bonetto, who worked with Jenkins on Wonder Woman and its sequel Wonder Woman 1984, will work on Star Wars: Rogue Squadron.

Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy announced the surprise project during Disney's Investor Day event last December. Star Wars: Rogue Squadron. The story will introduce a new generation of starfighter pilots as they earn their wings and risk their lives in a boundary-pushing, high-speed thrill-ride, and move the saga into the future era of the galaxy.
Patty Jenkins Spoke about what this project means to her as person and filmmaker:
It's been a lifelong dream as a filmmaker to one day make a great fighter pilot film. As the daughter of a great fighter pilot myself, some of the best memories of my life are of seeing my father's squadron take off in their F4s every morning, and hearing and feeling the awe-inspiring power and grace. When he passed away in service to this country it ignited a burning desire to one day channel all of those emotions into one great film. When the perfect story arrived in combination with another true love of mine, the incomparable world of Star Wars, I knew I'd finally found my next film. I'm extremely honored and excited to take it on, and grateful to Lucasfilm, Disney, and the fans for extending that thrill to me.
Kathleen Kennedy also spoke on Patty Jenkins involvement:
Patty has established herself as one of the top directors working in the film industry today, She's a visionary who knows how to strike the balance between action and heart, and I can't wait to see what she does in the Star Wars galaxy.
Kathleen Kennedy, President Lucasfilm
Star Wars: Rogue Squadron is set to fly into theaters on December 25, 2023.

Royal Navy Submarine Museum
View of the Royal Navy Submarine Museum
The Royal Navy Submarine Museum at Gosport is a maritime museum tracing the international history of submarine development from the age of Alexander the Great to the present day, and particularly the history of the Royal Navy Submarine Service from the navy's first submarine, Holland 1, to the nuclear-powered Vanguard-class submarines. The museum is located close to the former shore establishment HMS Dolphin, the home of the Royal Navy Submarine Service from 1904 until 1999.

HMS Alliance
The museum's collection originated as the Submarine Branch Collection in 1963, housed above St Ambrose Church in HMS Dolphin.[1] Few were aware of the existence of the museum, and those that were had limited access to the collection due to security considerations. The museum was officially recognised by the Ministry of Defence in 1967, along with the Fleet Air Arm Museum and the Royal Marines Museum. The museum's first full-time curator was appointed the following year.
The museum was officially registered as a charity in 1970, and has undergone significant development. In 1978 the museum was moved outside HMS Dolphin, allowing full public access. It was at this time that the Royal Navy's training and static display submarine, HMS Alliance was donated to the museum. £410,000 was raised to pay for the submarine to be lifted out of the water and put in place at the museum.[2]

The new museum complex opened in August 1981 with HMS Alliance as the principal exhibit. Over the years since, more submarines and submarine memorabilia have been added to the collection. In 1983 the museum gained a new display building and members of the public were allowed into HMS Alliance.[1] In 2001 the museum opened a climate-controlled building that houses Holland 1.[1] Visitors to the museum can tour HMS Alliance with a submariner guide, explore the interactive science gallery, step on board the Royal Navy's first submarine Holland I (built in 1901), or wander around the museum exhibits.

A number of federal lawmakers have continued pushing efforts to privatize air traffic control in the country, introducing a number of bills over the past three years.
Legislation hasn't gone to a vote so far, lacking the support to pass, but aviation groups in the state say it seems support has been growing. President Donald Trump has been vocally supportive, which has recently given advocates of privatization more strength.
And every new year that the issue is brought up it seems more elected leaders get on board. This has spurred the aviation community to get its own message out.
The North Dakota Aviation Council, the umbrella organization for aviation in the state, along with its member organizations, the Airports Association of North Dakota, North Dakota Agricultural Aviation Association, North Dakota Association of Aviation Museums, North Dakota Business Aviation Association, North Dakota Experimental Aviation Association, North Dakota Pilots Association and The North Dakota Professional Aviation Mechanics, have joined with more than 150 other aviation associations around the country to oppose H.R. 2997, the most recent legislation on the issue. The North Dakota Aeronautics Commission Board has not taken a position on the bill but continues to monitor it.
North Dakota Aviation Council Chairman Jon Simmers said the aviation community's concern with the legislation is more about the unknown.
Currently, all aviators pay a fuel tax based on the volume of fuel used. Those tax dollars are then redistributed by the FAA to pay for infrastructure improvements. Simmers said the fear is, under a privately run air traffic control, that fees would be switched to a user-based system.
General aviation has been billed by privatization proponents as a luxury. But in North Dakota the large majority, about 97 percent, are made up of small operators rather than big business, Simmers said. In reality, general aviation is small businesses, small town banks and specialty medical service providers taking their services to rural communities, where it wouldn't otherwise be available.
If fees are set by a private board in may become uneconomical for those small businesses to fly, Simmers said.
"There are so many unknowns," he said.
Simmers said there is also concern over the proposed makeup of the proposed private board. Board representation would be unevenly weighted with commercial airlines over general aviators. This could lead to those commercial airlines acting more in their own interests rather than considering the effects on general aviation. For example, general aviators could find themselves rerouted more often to give commercial flights the preferred route.
"Right now, (allocation of airspace) is handled in an unbiased way," Simmers said.
North Dakota has 89 airports and the aviation community has an estimated $1.56 billion economic impact in the state, as well as providing 10,000 jobs.
Mandan's airport contributes about $9 million, housing about 90 aircraft, all piloted by general aviators. Bismarck's impact is estimated at $280 million, with 2,100 employees and 110 aircraft accounting for about 150 takeoffs and landings daily. The airport also provides shipping for 7 million pounds of cargo annually.
The Airports Association of North Dakota concern is for safety and worry that level of services may not be maintained by a private organization, said board president Matthew Remynse. If the air traffic control board is dominated by commercial airlines, resources may be rerouted from smaller airports to the larger ones.
"More information is needed," Remynse said.
One argument made by privatizers is that the FAA, which has mandates for Next Gen technology, can't move as fast as a private organization could.
Simmers said he understands the Trump Administration is trying to cut governmental costs but, in this situation, privatization may not provide the efficiencies sought. There also may be unintended consequences, particularly for rural areas that are most in need.
