25 Sep Giving a Voice to the Industry – The Security Middle East Conference
After the outstanding success of the inaugural Security Middle East Conference in May this year, we’re delighted to announce that we’ll be returning in 2024 – with another industry-defining event.
The first-ever Security Middle East Conference – brought to you by the same team at Security Middle East magazine – was born out of the desire to advance the conversations that were happening in the security sector. There has never been a more exciting time to be part of the industry, with technological innovation happening on a daily basis and the need to protect people, places and possessions at an all-time high.
We collaborated with some of Saudi Arabia’s most important security pioneers, as well as global experts, and tasked them with kick-starting vital conversations about the challenges the industry is facing, the future market trends, and how it all slots into place as the region continues to develop at a pace.
The result was a packed day full of debate, discussions and the sharing of ideas and best practice. With a 200-strong audience, this was the opportunity to learn from the greatest thought-leaders in the sector, network with peers and be part of the conversations that could change the security landscape for the better.
Discussions were aligned to Saudi Vision 2030 and covered a broad range of topics, including addressing the talent gap, resiliency in the age of digitisation and securing Vision 2030.
The feedback we received post-event was overwhelmingly positive and pointed to one conclusion – the event needed to be an annual gathering.
Craig Ross, Senior Security Manager at the Diriyah Gate development project, was one of our panellists on the day, and said of the 2023 conference: “Events like the Security Middle East Conference are hugely important in developing our networks and sharing ideas on best practice.”
It was a sentiment that Sami Althowaini, agreed with: “This conference is the perfect platform for industry leaders, experts and enthusiasts to come together and exchange knowledge, ideas and best practices.”
Althowaini is Director of Security, Safety and Transportation at King Abdullah Petroleum Studies and Research Centre and was also on the advisory board for the Conference, helping to ensure that we covered the most pressing and relevant topics on the day and shaping the layout for the event. This year we’ll be working with the same advisory board, who did a stellar job of helping to determine how the first conference looked, felt and sounded. This year, having been heavily involved with the inaugural event, we’ll be working closely with them to further expand the conference.
Although the advisory board remains the same, 2024’s event will see a slew of new speakers and panellists share their knowledge with our audience. We will also have some new sponsors involved with the conference. Already Intelligent Security Systems – ISS and MVP Tech – A Convergint Company have joined us as sponsors and we’ll be bringing you more details on these forward-thinking companies in the coming months.
With Saudi Arabia’s reputation for being at the forefront of development, best practices and innovation and the Kingdom unlocking its huge potential with world-leading giga projects, we will once again be returning to Riyadh for next year’s conference. The day-long event will be held on 14th May 2024 and will include sessions from some of the industry’s brightest minds, and panel discussions focusing on key topics that are impacting the sector.
The day-long event will be held on 14 May 2024 and will include sessions from some of the industry’s brightest minds, and panel discussions focusing on key topics that are impacting the sector.
“We were blown away by the success of the first Security Middle East Conference – the feedback only confirmed to us that there is a real need for this event in the sector and that attendees gained a huge amount by joining us,” commented Mike Dingle, Event Organiser and Co-Publisher of Security Middle East magazine.
“Our plans for 2024 are even more ambitious, we want to ensure that there is a real benefit in attending our conference and that by doing so those working in the security industry can help elevate their own careers. We also want to give a voice to every single person in the sector and by bringing everyone together we can do just that.”

‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ Adds Johnny Knoxville and Tony Shalhoub as Leonardo and Splinter
When you think about teenaged mutant turtles with martial arts skills, the first thing that comes to mind is 'Jackass' and when you think about wise, ninja-training mutant rats, the first thing you think about is 'Monk.' Therefore, it's totally and entirely acceptable that Johnny Knoxville has been cast as the voice of Leonardo and Tony Shalhoub as Master Splinter in the upcoming 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.'
This news (which broke via Deadline), may prove troubling for some fans for a few reasons. First, Knoxville is a truly left field choice for Leonardo, the stoic and commanding leader of the turtles. Shalhoub is odd casting, but it makes a certain amount of sense, but Knoxville suggests that this is going to be a very different take on the characters than fans are used to. You don't cast the star of 'Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa' if you want a serious performance full of gravitas.
Second, these two are being added to the cast awfully late in the game. The on-set motion capture performances for Leonardo and Master Splinter were completed by Pete Ploszek and Danny Woodburn, but their contracts apparently didn't guarantee them the right to voice their characters in the finished film. Imagine the hard feelings that would ensue if Leonardo ends up being the only turtle to get a new voice...
Anyway, one of two things happened here. Either Paramount always planned on casting bigger names as the voices of these iconic characters or they were disappointed with the voice tracks by the on-set actors and had to make this decision in post-production. With the film currently going back for massive reshoots, the latter sounds very plausible. That may sound bad, TMNT fans, but don't let it bring you down -- if they are recasting and reshooting this late in the game, it's because they are working overtime to fix whatever problems they currently have.
'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' opens on August 8, 2014.

The "Celle" Hermitage
Le Celle Hermitage Near Cortona
After Brother Elia’s death in Cortona in 1253, the Franciscan order fell into a complicated series of internal divisions. The hermitage was occupied by a community of "Spirituali", or "Fraticelli", until they were banished in 1363 after suffering excomunication from Pope John Giovanni XXII. Le Celle stood abandoned until 1537, when it was granted by the Bishop of Cortona to the recdently founded Third Order of Franciscans, known as the Capucins. The hermitage was considerably enlarged by the Capucins, who in 1634 erected a new chapel to take the place of the ancient chapel dedicated to St Michael. This new chapel was consecrated to St Anthony of Padua and reflects the simple, unpretentious architectural and decorative style of the Capucins. Unadorned by works of art, the chapel still has wooden altars.
Currently the hermitage is inhabited by seven friars who continue to practise the preachings of St Francis
Board: The convent is able to offer lodgings to those contemplating a vocational life and who are willing to take part in all of the community’s activities. Near the convent there are some 40 bed spaces available in houses for independent groups of visitors.
Spiritual retreat: Le Celle is able to offer a period of solitary prayer to priests for a minimum period of one week and lasting up to a month if necessary. This facility is availablee in a small hermitage above the convent itself.

Quimby Mountain Band will be the opening act for national recording artists, Rusted Root, at a special show at the Sherman Theater in Stroudsburg on Thursday night, Dec. 11. Quimby previously opened up for Railroad Earth at the Sherman, has appeared twice at the Great Pocono Raceway Festival in Stroudsburg, and this past year headlined their own show at the downtown theater.
Rusted Root, which formed in 1990, hails from Pittsburgh, PA. The band is known for its unique fusion of acoustic, rock, world and other styles of music, with a strong percussion that draws from African, Latin American, and Native American influences. Their lyrical content varies greatly.
Quimby Mountain Band, meanwhile, continues to be a top drawing act in the Greater Northwest New Jersey region. The band is currently working on its fourth album. Its third disc, simply titled Quimby Mountain III, received solid reviews. Loren Kessell, writing for the Aquarian Weekly, noted that "Quimby's third album demonstrates the depth of their music, with each song telling its own story. It's a blend of musical styles that boasts individual personalities while seamlessly tying the disc together."
Tickets for the Sherman show are $22. VIP Party Boxes are also available. Please contact the box office directly at 570-420-2808 for more details. General admission tickets can be purchased in advance by emailing email@example.com or calling 908-813-8689, or messaging band members via Facebook.

Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar once called SS Rajamouli “the baap of all directors” and we couldn’t agree more. Working with the two-time National Award-winning director is the dream of every film producer and actor because once you a part of a Rajamouli film, instant success is guaranteed.
Rajamouli made his directorial debut in 2001 and so far has directed 11 films, including the upcoming film Baahubali: The Conclusion. With every film, he has redefined himself as a director besides fine-tuning the art of making commercial films. As he turns 43 today, here is a look at five films that catapulted him to the status of “the Baap of all directors.”
The 2004 film is arguably the best sports film ever made in Telugu. The film is based on the two rival gangs in a college who use rugby games to settle their personal scores. However, they eventually let go of their differences and unite to play a rugby match against a group of thugs led by a maverick villain who is out to destroy their college.
The action drama is about an oppressed individual who rises against all odds to become the saviour of a group of displaced Sir Lankans in Vizag port, which is exploited by local rowdies. The film was a runaway hit and also cemented the position of actor Prabhas as one of the leading action heroes in Telugu. It was later remade in Tamil, Kannada and Bengali.
It is only fair to say that this 2009 romantic-action film made Ram Charan Teja a bankable actor in Tollywood after his 2007 debut Chirutha failed at the box office. The film is a love story of a bike stuntman who remembers his past life as a warrior and pursues his love and revenge in the present life. The film also showed Rajamouli’s talent in making period films. The film emerged as the biggest box office blockbuster of that year. The director was widely appreciated for use of special effects in the film.
It is a landmark film, and not just in Rajamouli’s career. The 2012 fantasy drama again deals with the idea of reincarnation. Murdered by his lover’s stalker, a man is reincarnated as a house fly and seeks to avenge his own death besides protecting his lover. Needless to say, the film was a major box office hit and was dubbed in many languages.
5.Baahubali: The Beginning
This 2015 two-part epic film pushed the envelope in filmmaking in the country to a whole new level. It was made at a whopping budget of Rs 250 crore, the costliest Indian film so far. While the film earned Rs 500 crore in four weeks, it made its first Rs 100 crore in 35 hours, a new box office record in India. It was also the first Hindi dubbed film to join the Bollywood’s elite Rs 100 crore club.
The film deals with a family feud between two siblings who aspire to succeed to the throne of Mahishmati kingdom. The film ended on a cliffhanger, ensuring an earth-shattering repose for its second part, Baahuballi: The Conclusion, which is set to hit the screens early next year.


Bill Smith, candidate for Stockton mayor, describes how he’d address some of the Stockton’s biggest issues.
We sent out a questionnaire asking candidates to air their views for readers. This is the first in a series of their answers.
Mayor of Stockton
Candidate: Bill Smith, 60
Background: Forty years in construction, currently employed by San Joaquin County as downtown facilities maintenance supervisor.
Why are you running for this office?: I’m deeply concerned about the state of our city. I feel it’s at a tipping point and conditions are getting worse, not better. I have solutions to the homeless problems, infrastructure, public safety, crime, polluted Delta waterways, commerce, Miracle Mile and downtown. Our city needs solid leadership, transparency and public communication.
Why do you consider yourself the best candidate?: I have many years of leadership and a proven record of getting the job done. I’ve lived in Stockton all of my life and watched our city slowly being destroyed by failed policies and leadership. I have excellent communication skills and work well with others. I have an all-inclusive mentality and have always been a team player. I do not allow petty differences to get in the way of completing our mission.
Experience on community and/or municipal agencies?: I’m employed by San Joaquin County. I’m involved with Stockton Sportsman’s junior hunting program and have volunteered for First Tee of San Joaquin.
Top five issues that need to be addressed in Stockton: Public safety, homelessness, Delta waterways, promoting commerce, infrastructure.
Plan for homelessness: Adopt a program that’s being used successfully in Austin, Texas, called community first village.
Plan to reduce crime: Fully staff our police department with funds from Measure A. Put forth a more robust gang task force. Do away with cash for criminals and enforce the laws.
Downtown Stockton redevelopment: Clean it up, make it more attractive to business, streamline permit process for businesses, have a competitive bid process for competition with the downtown alliance.
What are your plans for other Stockton issues?: Clean up the Delta waterways. We don’t need three City Halls. Revitalize the Miracle Mile and turn it into a cultural center, trade schools.

The advantages of autonomous cars seem so obvious and revolutionary that we don’t need really need a report from a research company to tell us that there’s going to be a huge market in vehicle automation. Nevertheless, Lux Research has actually crunched the numbers and told us what kind of premiums we should expect to pay over the next few decades for autonomy.
Lux Research is predicting that advanced driver-assist systems (ADAS) will be a $102 billion opportunity by 2030. This is a lot; right now, the market opportunity for driver assist systems is a mere $2.4 billion. Lux splits driver assist into “basic” and “advanced,” which seems to refer more to the perception of the technology involved than the technical difficulty or achievablility.
“Basic” driver assist systems are things like parking assist, while “advanced” systems include adaptive cruise control, lane tracking, and such. Lux also breaks down the technology into things like connectivity and apps that can, for example, pay attention to you while you’re driving to make the experience better and safer without actually taking over at the wheel.
Lux predicts that the basic stuff will, predictably, take off first, likely because most car manufacturers and consumers are comfortable with it, the technology is well understood, it’s quickly getting less expensive to integrate, and (this is the really important bit) you don’t have to wait around for regulators to decide that it's okay.
The advanced stuff, starting with adaptive cruise and working all the way up to full autonomy, is going to take a bit longer. Lux says that by 2030, this’ll be a $73 billion market opportunity. But the firm says that, realistically, 2030 is too soon for full autonomy, “largely because of regulations and a current lack of prototypes.”
I don't know if I agree with that last statement. Fifteen years is a long time, and there are multiple functional prototypes on the road right now that reliably work. Getting prototypes into production is obviously a very difficult problem, but the technology is there, and as Telsa is about to show, existing sensors can already be combined to enable highway autonomy. Regulation is another matter entirely, but with autonomous cars able to drastically reduce all of the bad stuff about driving (accidents, traffic, time, pollution, and cost), our guess is that pressure from both consumers and manufacturers will see highway autonomy (at the very least) in less than a decade.
Autonomous cars are most likely the largest (potential) market for consumer robotics that currently exists. This makes it (potentially) very lucrative for manufacturers to spend a lot of money developing sophisticated sensors that are robust and reliable enough to operate for 100,000 kilometers but also small enough and cheap enough to be integrated into affordable cars. Eventually, this will results in a sort of trickle-down effect, as the automotive hardware becomes available for non-automotive robotics applications. And non-automotive robotics applications desperately need it.
Robots (cars included) have benefited immensely from electronics companies deciding (correctly or not) that all consumers really want mobile hardware like laptops and cellphones to get smaller, more energy efficient, and more powerful every year. This has nothing to do with robots, and more to do with fitting a computer onto your wrist that can play Candy Crush in 4k at 120 frames per second. Robots have been able to piggyback on of this, both indirectly and directly. But cheap processing power can only go so far: robots need sensors, usually lots of sensors, and that’s not something that Moore’s Law can always help out with. Hundreds or thousands of partially or fully autonomous cars, however, definitely can help.
The point here is that the autonomous car revolution, being driven in significant part by sensor advances, is going to get us a lot more than just a relaxing drive to work: Developing the technology needed to take advantage of this market could enable other robots that can make our lives easier in lots of other ways. We may be getting robot chauffeurs first, but robot butlers won’t be far behind.

Innovative Biological Dentistry
Published November/December 2012
IT’S NOT ONLY what you eat or drink that matters, but how you do it. Drinking a soft drink in one sitting is better than sipping it all day. If you can’t brush your teeth right away after eating sugary foods or drink, rinsing your mouth with water helps neutralize the acid buildup.
Most people are aware that if you eat good food, brush and floss regularly and visit your dentist periodically, your teeth should be in good shape. You may be doing all this, but still getting cavities.
In “It’s All About the pH: Part I” in the last edition of Space Coast Medicine, you learned that acids in the mouth have a significant effect on dental disease. It’s not only what you eat or drink that matters, but how you do it. Drinking a soft drink in one sitting is better than sipping it all day. If you can’t brush your teeth right away after eating sugary foods or drink, rinsing your mouth with water helps neutralize the acid buildup.
At home, the strategy is to minimize the acid attacks caused by the strep mutans bacteria in your mouth. The acid secreted demineralizes the enamel of the tooth and eventually causes dental caries (decay). Excellent oral hygiene, which includes brushing twice a day and flossing once, prevents the buildup of plaque, a sticky biofilm comprised of many bacteria, including strep mutans. Our saliva naturally neutralizes each acid attack in about 20 minutes. A saliva with a higher pH is more protective against acid attacks.
Salivary pH can be checked at your dental office. Patients with higher caries rates often have lower (more acidic) salivary pH. A thorough examination will diagnose existing caries. Their removal and restoration by the dentist will reduce the overall bacterial population in the mouth. A thorough cleaning of the teeth by the dental hygienist will remove plaque and hardened calcified plaque deposits (tartar) above and below the gum. Oral hygiene instruction will help improve the patient’s daily plaque control.
Patients exhibiting dental caries and numerous areas of demineralization will benefit from custom tailored programs. These can include fluoride products, Xylitol therapy and the use of mouth rinses, gels and toothpastes containing remineralization elements such as MI paste.
Xylitol is a natural sweetener that comes from plants and is a normal product in our bodies own glucose metabolism. The strep mutans devour it, and then are no longer able to secrete acid or reproduce. This leads to a reduction of bacteria and an increase in pH. Xylitol products have the bio available minerals to recalcify teeth. Decalcification and early decay can often be halted or even reversed. One needs 4 to 12 grams of Xylitol per day to have a therapeutic benefit. Xylitol products are available in many forms, such as mouth rinses, toothpastes, gum, mints and a granulated of form equivalent to table sugar.
One no longer needs to be the victim of dental disease. Eating well, excellent at home care, and visiting your dental professional will keep you ahead of the game.

This barley porridge is a perfect way to slow down and enjoy your breakfast. We’ve been using all sorts of grains in our cooking for ages- barley is no exeption! It has a beautiful, nutty aroma with a firm bite to it. It takes a bit of time to cook, but it’s damn well worth the wait! It’s both nutritious and delicious – I love serving it warm with milk, nuts and a dollop of honey.
Byggrynsgrøt | Barley Porridge
2 dl barley groats
1 l milk
1/2 tsp salt
Milk ( I prefer full fat milk, but optional)
- Soak the barley groats in water over night.
- Rinse and add in a saucepan with milk and salt.
- Boil for 30 – 40 minutes, stirring now and then to avoid burning.
- Serve with cold milk, nuts and honey.


The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) caucus in the Senate has accused the Muhammadu Buhari-led government of selective anti-corruption campaign.
Specifically, the opposition lawmakers accused the Department of State Services (DSS) of harassing and intimidating officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as well as PDP members in Rivers, Abia and Akwa Ibom states.
But the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) cautioned that the moves of the intelligence agency should not be politicised, saying those found culpable of corrupt tendencies should face the full wrath of the law.
Speaking with newsmen in Abuja on Thursday, Godswill Akpabio, Senate minority leader, argued that no provision in the nation’s laws allowed the agency to meddle in partisan politics.
He tasked the security agency to focus its energy on nipping Boko Haram in the bud.
While calling on the president to treat all Nigerians equally, irrespective of political affiliation, he harped on the need for the president to call the DSS to order, explaining that a committee had been set up to report the matter to the Abdulsalam Abubakar-led Peace Committee.
Expressing PDP worries, Akpabio said: “The PDP caucus is worried, alarmed, and shocked by recent development in our polity where the DSS is now involved in electoral matters. A situation where officials of INEC in Rivers State, Akwa Ibom and Abia sates – (all PDP states) are daily being arrested, detained and questioned on politically-motivated corruption allegations, is worrisome and spells doom for our democracy unless the trend is reversed.
“No democracy survives without a viable opposition in any part of the world. INEC is supposed to be an independent commission and its officials ought to be shielded from partisanship.”
The PDP has 49 lawmakers in the Senate, in contrast to APC’s 59.
Also, at a courtesy call on the PDP National Working Committee (NWC) on Thursday in Abuja, the legislators passed a vote of confidence on the NWC on the moves aimed at reducing the workers by 50 percent and slash the salaries of those left by another 50 percent.
But in a swift reaction, Dino Melaye (APC, Kogi West), chairman, Senate Ad-hoc Committee on Publicity, described the allegations as baseless, insisting that those without skeletons in their cupboard should not be afraid.
He described the actions of the DSS so far as legal and constitutional.

This August, we’re building the Good Chance Petite Dome at Bastion de Bercy, a welcome and accommodation centre in Paris run by Aurore Association.
For four weeks, we will work with residents, local people and artists to create a bold and exciting programme of work including carpentry and building, theatre and music, the creation of a book, and all culminating in a carnivalesque parade through the city to see out the summer in style. As always, these plans are just the beginning: everyone is invited to enter the dome with new and big ideas.
We are giving priority to people who live in Paris as we want to build our community there and are particularly interested in people who can speak French, but please let us know if you are interested in volunteering from elsewhere and we'll let you know if spaces become available.
If you are interested in volunteering please register you're interest here and we will be in touch. If you have any questions, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.org. All of your information will be stored securely and will not be shared with any third parties.

text: How about not assuming intent (positive or negative) at all until we’ve had a chance to talk more with the person in question and, as was clearly the case with your neighbor, establish a history of interactions that can lead us to some reasonable conclusions about their intent? If we start by assuming intent of any kind, especially with regard to casual interactions or off-hand remarks, that’s going to color our assessment of the situation moving forward. What’s the intent behind jumping too quickly to assumptions about the other person’s intent? Obviously, in some cases, the intent quickly becomes explicit and clear, but in those instances we aren’t really assuming anything because the other individual has made their thinking fairly obvious. However, many (perhaps most) day-to-day human interactions, especially between people who don’t know each other or know each other well, lack that kind of clarity. I don’t see any benefit in starting every new potential relationship with another human being with an assumption about their intent.

A message from Liberty on the Rocks:
ask the hostess to direct you to our section
We are moving this and possibly future months' meetings to a new venue - Smokin' Thighs on Wedgewood. They have two- for-one specials until 8 pm and an exquisite selection of moonshines and kool-aids. They have incredible Mac and cheese with a huge toppings menu and a Tonka truck full of hot wings, a dish which will take you on a most glorious foray into the heights of hedonism.
Anyway, we have a big month ahead of us. As you may be aware, the Trump-ets have sounded and we are now facing The End Times. And while the inevitable plagues and oceans of boiling blood are going to be very inconvenient, at least we are that much closer to finally being done with the national affliction known as Presidential Elections. That's right, only six months away from finally breathing a collective sigh of relief as we graciously accept whichever authoritarian overlord deigns us worthy enough to be ruled over.
Closer to home, Bill Haslam signed a bill to allow therapists either to refuse service to clients whose "goals, outcomes or behaviors” conflict with the counselor’s “sincerely held principles” or to out themselves as big 'ole homophobes, depending on whom you ask. Also, the faculty and staff of Tennessee colleges can now arm themselves to the teeth. Students will not be allowed to carry guns but are being supplied with personal safe spaces. No official word yet on whether or not those safe spaces are bulletproof.
Even closer to home, Nashville Mayor Megan Barry delivered her State of Metro Address at the end of April. This was an exciting event that was not at all marred by Barry's recent eviction of a homeless encampment near Fort Negley while spending $1.3 million on renovations at the Mayor's Office. Here's a fun fact I learned from the address - it turns out that Nashville had an overall revenue increase of $121 million over last year. By some strange coincidence, Barry's budget proposal marks a $121 million increase over last year's budget. Coincidences are weird.
Alright, I'm sure lots more will happen in the next couple weeks, so I hope to see you at Liberty on the Rocks now at Smokin' Thighs on Wedgewood!

Two Classical Concerts taking place near Gastonia this month
December 16, 2011 by Mark
The concerts taking place near Gastonia this December are proof that the holiday festivities are only just beginning.
Starting on the 14th, the Charlotte Symphony will be performing Hanel’s Messiah at Charlotte’s Belk Theater. With the event scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m., the Messiah is a timeless piece that has been moving audiences for centuries. Besides producing the poster printing that’s undoubtedly visible throughout the theater, brochure printers have also most likely been busy making copies of the program for concert-goers. If the Charlotte Symphony’s reputation is anything to go by, this production will be nothing short of excellence.
To those who might not be able to attend the concert on the 14th, Gastonia is holding its own concert during “A Christmas Festival”. The event is being advertised this way:
“The Gaston Symphonic Band with special guests The Gaston Strings, and Gaston Dance and will perform their 2nd annual holiday concert entitled, “A Christmas Festival.” Last year’s premiere performance was celebrated by 1200 patrons. This year, “The Exodus Handbell Choir” from 1st Baptist Church in Mt. Holly will present a prelude beginning at 7:30 p.m. This concert is supported by The Gaston Arts Council and by Southeast Chiropractic…”
This blurb then goes on to explain that the concert is going to be free and acceptable for those of all ages. Although the prelude is supposed to start at 7:30 p.m., the holiday concert is supposed to officially begin at 8:00 p.m. Whether fans of timeless music or looking for a family-friendly event to attend, those residing in Gastonia can have their pick.

Samsung Galaxy Y S5360 Review
The Samsung Galaxy Y is a smartphone that is aimed at all types of audiences; it is safe to say that this is a basic smartphone and is a good place to start on your journey towards smart phones. The galaxy Y take a step ahead the image of not so smart phones with its performance, features, as well as its looks. Since the Galaxy Y has an Android OS of 2.3.5 Gingerbread, it makes the phones user interface friendly and easy to use, along with extremely addictive and surprisingly up to date. With plenty of apps and features to explore, the Galaxy Y may be basic, but it keeps its user hooked on to it. Since its price tag is small, the Galaxy Y can get away with a few missing essentials, letting the user focus on other features which make up for the phones personality.
On a design aspect the Galaxy Y is compact with dimensions of 104 x 58 x 11.5 mm, it is also light weight at a comparatively small 97.5g; with a black glass front and a silver finish at the back, which can be changed based on the color of the phone you buy, it looks and feels much like the latest technology smart phones. The display screen is smaller than the average at 3 inches with a resolution of 240×320 pixels; this makes the Galaxy Y lose points in terms of its resolution and pixel density making it rather low quality, with colors an contrast that is not up to the mark. The touch screen is capacitive, but due to its smaller size cannot compete with that of the other phones. Similarly, the camera is not up to the mark either with just a 2 megapixels and fixed focus.
Otherwise, the Galaxy Y offers a good set of apps along with good connectivity. Supporting both 2G and 3G networks, GPS, HSDPA, Bluetooth, micro USB port and a micro SD slot, the Galaxy Y gives connectivity in all forms. As a bonus, the Galaxy Y also comes with an included 2GB memory card. Basic, yet required features like the accelerometer, proximity sensor, and 3.5mm audio jack are also included. On the app side, social integration apps and many other make up for the entertainment in the phone.
The fact that the Galaxy Y has a low screen resolution, fixed camera focus, no secondary camera, no adobe flash support, and no headphones included in the box, brings down its image of a competitive smartphone. Overall, the phone won’t win any extra points for its looks or performance but it does earn the title of being a good experience in a small budget with a good package of features.

An abandoned sofa and a grisly find set the action in motion in the latest work from Edmonton author Wayne Arthurson. In a sharp deconstruction of the conventions of the mystery genre, Arthurson uses prose poems to tell the story of M, the proverbial everyman who finds himself embroiled in a police investigation.
M is a hero of a different ilk than the hard-boiled journalist of Arthurson’s Leo Desroches series: a bylaw officer, he is a man whose business is order. While he is responding to a complaint about a yard sale, a red chesterfield left in a ditch catches his eye. M examines the torn-up sofa and discovers a shoe, complete with a severed foot still inside, and his carefully ordered world begins to spin out of control.
Overturning the typical genre plot structure, in which a violent crime occurs and the detective works his way toward solving the case, the dismemberment is not the central plot point in Arthurson’s story. It is not the mystery of the severed foot that M becomes obsessed with solving but rather the appearance (and subsequent disappearance and reappearance) of the eponymous piece of furniture. As M navigates the aftermath of his brush with horrific crime in an attempt to discover the provenance of the chesterfield, the novel meditates on the ways violence and transgression assert themselves in everyday life. Along the way, the author interrogates the human foibles that lead people to act badly, the way power is enacted among different levels of authority, and the ever-changing dynamics of a family.
The use of prose poetry as a narrative device highlights subtleties that might otherwise be lost and Arthurson’s exacting and precise language keeps the pacing brisk and tense. The novel has the tone of a mystery while subverting genre expectations. There are no neat conclusions at the end of The Red Chesterfield, but there is plenty for readers to uncover as they investigate the various references and meanings embedded within this short but intriguing book.

More students than ever are participating in Portland High School’s internship program despite its alternate format
Portland, Maine: While the coronavirus pandemic caused many of Portland High’s regular partners to be unable to offer internships, some organizations got creative in offering safe internship opportunities for PHS students.
A record 20 PHS students are participating in virtual or socially distant internships this fall. Students are interning with organizations including Maine Audubon, The Portland Press Herald, Planned Parenthood, Cultivating Community, Maine Youth for Climate Justice, Little Chair Print Shop, multiple professional photographers, SMRT Architects and Engineers, Tetra Tech, and the New England Historical Society. More students and internship sites are matched daily.
The pandemic has sparked some creative partnerships, such as between Maine Audubon, PHS, and the Portland Press Herald photography team. Neddie Clews, a senior at PHS will be honing her photography skills to tell the stories of the various Audubon trails. Not only will she be mentored by Melissa Kim, the Director of Communications and Marketing for the Audubon; Michele McDonald, photo editor for the Portland Press Herald, and her team will provide guidance.
Clews reflects, "Being able to do this internship with Maine Audubon is allowing me to pursue some of my top interests while at the same time getting me great work experience, working as a trail photographer I get to have free range of the outdoors while improving my photography skills."
"We're always looking for ways to connect with young people, and that's been challenging this year," said Melissa Kim, Maine Audubon's Director of Communications. "This project allows for collaboration, learning, creativity, and content, all within the confines of pandemic restrictions. Having Neddie explore and photograph trails at our sanctuaries, and help us create visual stories of each trail, will give us new ways to engage our supporters and provide reasons for people to come visit and connect with wildlife and habitat."
If your organization is interested in hosting an intern, contact Andrea Levinsky, Extended Learning Opportunities Coordinator at email@example.com.

Delta Air Lines has just announced three new long haul domestic flights to Hawaii, which many travelers may find convenient.
In this post:
Delta’s new Hawaii service from Atlanta, Detroit, and New York
As of late 2022, Delta will be launching three new routes to Hawaii, out of Atlanta, Detroit, and New York. While these routes have been operated in the past, what’s interesting is that these routes are expected to be year-round this time. All three routes will be operated by Boeing 767-300s, featuring Delta One (business class), Comfort+ (extra legroom economy), and Main Cabin (economy).
Let’s go over the details of the routes.
Delta’s Atlanta to Maui flight
As of November 19, 2022, Delta will launch daily nonstop flights between Atlanta (ATL) and Maui (OGG). The flight will operate with the following schedule:
Atlanta to Maui departing 11:00AM arriving 4:00PM
Maui to Atlanta departing 5:25PM arriving 6:40AM (+1 day)
The 4,431 mile flight is blocked at 10hr westbound and 8hr15min eastbound. This complements Delta’s existing flight from Atlanta to Honolulu.
Delta’s Detroit to Honolulu flight
As of November 19, 2022, Delta will launch daily nonstop flights between Detroit (DTW) and Honolulu (HNL). The flight will operate with the following schedule:
Detroit to Honolulu departing 12:15PM arriving 4:00PM
Honolulu to Detroit departing 5:00PM arriving 6:30AM (+1 day)
The 4,475 mile flight is blocked at 8hr45min westbound and 8hr30min eastbound.
Delta’s New York to Honolulu flight
As of December 17, 2022, Delta will launch daily nonstop flights between New York (JFK) and Honolulu (HNL). The flight will operate with the following schedule:
New York to Honolulu departing 9:00AM arriving 3:35PM
Honolulu to New York departing 4:55PM arriving 7:25AM (+1 day)
The 4,983 mile flight is blocked at 11hr35min westbound and 9hr30min eastbound. Delta will be competing directly with Hawaiian Airlines on this route.
It’s always great to see more long haul flights to Hawaii from the mainland, both because it’s convenient for those from further east in the United States, and because these flights are operated by long haul aircraft.
With Delta’s latest expansion, the airline is adding Hawaii flights out of Atlanta, Detroit, and New York. These flights will be daily and year-round, so this should be a useful option for many Delta flyers.
What do you make of Delta’s Hawaii expansion?

The latest stats show that the median Los Angeles home price is $525,000. Anyone within the sound of my keyboard knows that a house for $525,000 is like a unicorn - they don't exist. So lets use $1mm as an example. So how do you prepare to put that 20% down - a whopping $200,000? Finance professionals say the best options for “individuals who are trying to save for a home purchase...are advised to use conventional, low-risk, liquid methods for accumulating savings: Savings Accounts, CDs and Money Market Funds," said James Sprow, Director of Research at Blue Vault Partners. These three, along with Exchange Traded Funds, ETFs, are all great options for new homeowners- read below to see which method is best suited for you!
Fixed Income/Bond ETFs
Exchange Traded Funds, or ETFs, trade like stocks but are more liquid and have lower fees than a mutual fund. When you purchase an ETF, you are buying a share of a bond, making you eligible for a portion of the profits. ETFs experience price changes throughout the day as they are bought and sold. It's like the stock market but more stable.
Pro: ETFs can have very high interest rates and keeping money in an ETF for a few years can have a large return rate.
Con: A broker fee is incurred and ETFs are not guaranteed to preserve capital as they’re based on the stock market.
As ETFs fluctuate with the market, it is almost impossible to predict the growth of your investment with any guarantee.
High Yield Savings Accounts
A savings account is a simple and proven strategy even your Grandma would approve of. You can find a great high yield savings account at most banks, particularly online ones, which offer great rates (no overhead of a brick and mortar bank). These accounts allow you to earn more interest, with the safety of being FDIC insured, and is a common way to save for a down payment.
Pro: You can access your money at any time, and with a little research, you can find a great interest rate.
Con: These do not have as high an interest rate as a CD, so if you’re not planning on touching your money for a few years, there are usually more lucrative options.
At an average 1% Annual Percentage Yield, APY, contributing $500 per month to your account, it would take you 17 years to save enough for the down payment while using a high yield savings account. Don't start choosing your paint colors just yet!
Certificate of Deposit (CD)
CDs allow you to deposit a chunk of money into a savings account and lock in a rate of return for the length of the CD. CDs are available in terms ranging from 6 to 60 months, with higher interest rates available if you're willing to leave your money in for longer amounts of time. For CDs, patience is a virtue!
Pro: CDs offer great interest rates and help you reach your savings goals faster by using money you don’t immediately need.
Con: If you end up needing to withdraw your money out of a CD before the term is up, you will likely incur a penalty.
If you don’t continue to add money to a CD, it’s advised to invest a larger chunk of money. For a 5-year CD, the average APY is 2%. So, if you invest $5,000, in 5 years your money will increase to $5,520.
Money Market Mutual Fund
A money market mutual fund is an investment that earns interest for shareholders while maintaining a Net Asset Value (NAV) of $1 per share. Confused? Basically, they are short-term securities that are a very safe, low-return type of mutual funds. You won’t get much back on these accounts- they act as a holding place for your money before you decide to invest it.
Pro: Very safe with no chance of losing your money.
Con: Low return on your investment. You would be better off putting your money into a savings account with a higher interest rate.
Money Market accounts tend to have the same rates as savings accounts. Investing in an MMA will also take around 17 years to save enough for a down payment, saving $500.
ROB A BANK. YOU WILL LIKELY GO TO JAIL AND YOU WILL IMMEDIATELY HAVE A “HOUSE”, NOT TO MENTION 3 SQUARES A DAY, HEALTH INSURANCE AND NO PROPERTY TAXES. ACTUALLY SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD RETIREMENT PLAN.
