On iPhone XR and XS, they’re more outlined and the colour temperature (warm as it is) is accurate. And for once, the Galaxy Note 9 does a good job in my digital camera shootouts, however neither it or the Pixel 3 compares to the iPhones. Even worse than taking pictures in a bar is taking selfies (or group selfies) in a bar.
It also has the benefit of a newer processor and digicam tips. Colours are a big deal here for the reason that iPhone eight is available in Apple’s trio of Silver, Space Grey and Gold. Meanwhile, the XR is more just like the outdated 5c in White, Black, Blue, Yellow, Coral and (PRODUCT)RED. Screen measurement is the big difference here as well as the move to Face ID as a substitute of Touch ID. Fans of the latter must select the iPhone 8 but we might encourage you to move on and get the extra modern XR.
As proof that resolution doesn’t matter and picture quality issues extra, I confess I don’t even know what the iPhone XS and XS Max’s resolutions are with out taking a look at a spec sheet. Apple’s iPhones don’t often use typical display resolutions like 2,960 x 1,440 or 2,880 x 1,080, as a result of most individuals don’t buy a cellphone based mostly on pixel rely. If that were the case, Sony’s 4K smartphones wouldn’t have flopped so hard.
The CRN Test Center compares two of Apple’s LCD iPhone models, which include major differences on display, performance and value. The iPhone 8 is out there now with pricing at $979 for a 64GB model and $1,229 for a 256GB mannequin. Apple’s iPhone XR begins at $750, which is considerably more. It has Apple’s Face ID security system and better battery life, but it also lacks the zoom lens I like.
Apple sells the iPhone eight for $599 with sixty four GB of storage, which is often sufficient for me. However, the camera on the back of the iPhone eight continues to be great. It’s ok to take photographs for a blog post for work, for example. The iPhone X has two lenses on its rear camera, together with a lens that has a fifty six mm equal. It’s great — I tended to use it as my major digital camera to get closer to the topic.
The iPhone XR also comes in a wider range of colours, particularly white, black, blue, yellow, coral and red, while the iPhone 8 is available in simply area grey, silver, gold and purple (and the red model isn’t broadly out there any more). The dimensions and weight differ too after all, with the iPhone XR coming in at one hundred fifty.9 x 75.7 x eight.3mm and 194g, while the iPhone eight is 138.4 x 67.3 x 7.3mm and 148g. The iPhone XR and iPhone 8 each have a glass back and a steel frame, however from the front they look very totally different, as the iPhone XR has a notch in the screen and very little bezel. iPhone XR – It Has Better Battery Life Than iPhone eight and it has wireless charging. To help determine which telephone is best for you, I dive into the two telephones’ designs, cameras, hardware options and prices to see which inserts your needs the most effective.
What this means is that the iPhone XR will be barely greater in your hand, however you also get a considerably bigger display. That’s up to you to decide, and many individuals have agency opinions on their iPhone display size preferences.
The iPhone XS (left) and iPhone XS Max (right) each have an OLED show whereas the iPhone XR (middle) has an LCD screen. If you like the trendy bezel-free design of the iPhone XR with its notch and Face ID then you’re all good.
If you choose to blur the background in a shot with the iPhone XR you can even change the extent of blurring after the actual fact – a trick that the iPhone eight doesn’t offer. The iPhone XR additionally sports activities Smart HDR, which might enhance your photograph high quality. As for software program, the iPhone XR ships with iOS 12 on board, though you’ll be able to update the iPhone 8 to that software too.
Each digicam was set to auto and each one chose to fireplace off the display as a flash to light up our faces. The iPhone XR and iPhone XS look the least harsh, however the Pixel 3 produces even lighting to expose both our faces and the background. I know I’m in the minority that’s pro-3D Touch and I think most individuals will not mind its replacement with Haptic Touch, however its no-show on the iPhone XR type of fragments the iPhone expertise across Apple’s lineup.

From Forum News Service
A recent editorial from a Midwest newspaper.
API’s oil safety lawsuit is not at all helpful
While the primary purpose of the American Petroleum Institute is to advocate for its member oil companies, it is disappointing that the institute’s narrow focus all but dismisses matters of public safety.
So when the oil lobby (last) week asked a U.S. Court of Appeals to block rules designed to enhance safety of oil trains, it came as no surprise.
The rule the oil lobby doesn’t like is the timeline that would require shippers to retrofit old tank cars with new safety features, or replace the old cars with new ones.
The push for tank car improvements comes after several tank car train derailments that resulted in fires and explosions (two in North Dakota). One accident in Canada caused 47 deaths. Since then, industries involved in shipping volatile Bakken crude oil from North Dakota have been scrambling to improve safety standards in the hope of preventing more fiery derailments. Those interests include railroads, tank car builders and, kicking and screaming, the oil-producing folks.
State and federal regulators have been moving with atypical speed to put in place new safety regulations. North Dakota, for example, imposed in April a tougher oil conditioning standard that is supposed to reduce the volatility of Bakken crude.
There’s vigorous debate whether the volatility standard is tough enough, and a derailment and fire a few days ago near Heimdal, N.D., suggests critics of the standard might be right.
Nonetheless, the API’s stance is troubling.
Rather than urge its member companies to crank up their operations to adjust to new regulatory demands, the institute marches off to a federal court in order to block safety standards for retrofitting older tank cars. And why? Because the rule would result in a car shortage, API says, which, of course, would mean additional difficulty for oil companies in getting their product to market. The industry needs more time, says API. The calculation might make sense for the API, but it does not for advancing oil train safety.
The institute also crows about a statistic that oil shipment by rail has a 99.997 safety record – the same stat railroads like to underline. Fair enough. But oil train traffic has increased more in the past few years than ever before in railroading history. Therefore, that 0.003 percent of oil trains that derail and explode represents, in real numbers, more trains, more oil train accidents, and more potential for disasters.
Ideally, all the players involved in the transport of oil by rail would welcome a comprehensive collaborative effort to enhance rail safety. But when one of the major players opts for a lawsuit, the at-risk public has to wonder if any of them are serious.

Words: Tracey Moyle Music Maven
Papa Roach have been a mainstay in the punk/rock/nu metal world since their iconic album ‘Infest’ rocketed into the world back in 2001 with their smash hit Last Resort. Twenty years on, confirming the impact the band had on the music world, they are just about to release their second greatest hits album ‘Greatest Hits Vol. 2 – The Better Noise Years’ due to drop on March 18.
To be in the game long enough to have two greatest hits albums speaks volumes. The reason for their longevity goes beyond just producing good music, it’s a combination of a few things. It’s easy to write and release new songs but Papa Roach are constantly raising the barre producing new and exciting albums that give fans something fresh while keeping true to the Papa Roach sound. The band have an amazing connection with their fanbase and have always known that they are the very reason they are where they are. They aren’t afraid to put on extra shows when they are asking loudly for it and stay connected in every way they can.
The upcoming ‘Greatest Hits vol 2. – The Better Noise Years’ covers the last decade pulling songs from albums ‘The Connection’, ‘F.E.A.R’, ‘Crooked Teeth’ and ‘Who Do You Trust?’, not just replicating what has already been played continuously on our devices, be that streaming, CD or turntables, they band are giving us 21 tracks which includes remixes, remasters, acoustics and more.
This week our Music Maven and massive Papa Roach fan, Tracey Moyle had a candid Zoom chat with the bands bassist Tobin Esperance talking about, not just the latest album, but the fans, new music and memories of previous trips to Australia.
Hey Tobin, thanks for talking to Brisbane Australia for Good Call Live.
“Yeah, you’re in Australia that’s right. Did you know there is a place in Australia called Esperance. I would love to go there one day. It’s my last name. It’s not a common last name.”
I lived in WA for a few years and Esperance is such a beautiful part of the the world. It’s such an untouched part of the country. It’s stunning.
“I’ve seen the pictures. I came across it on google by accident, I was looking for the meaning and background of my last name and I came across it and I was like ‘oh I want to go there one day’”.
Bands do miss Perth a bit when they head to Australia and it’s a shame. It’s a bit of a flight but worth it. If you love surfing and beaches and wineries and beautiful forests it’s the best place.
“I love all that. Maybe we could rent a house and make a record there. A studio or a beach house there. That would be so cool. I was watching something about Kevin Parker from Tame Impala and he bought the beach house he recorded a lot of their records at. He was finally able to purchase it. I thought that was cool.
One of my most memorable touring stories of experiences in Australia was the tour we did with the Red Hot Chili Peppers back in I think 2002. Something happened and we didn’t even get to go to Perth, I think for some reason. So we just stayed on the East coast of Australia. So we haven’t gotten around yet that would be a dream.”
I know last time you guys played here you announced the tour with the intention to go to Melbourne and Sydney only. I follow your page on Facebook and a lot of people from Brisbane, including me, complained that you weren’t coming here. Within a week you actually changed it and came to Brisbane it was brilliant. I think the same happened with Adelaide as well.
“Yes we listen to the people when they speak. We try to. The last tour we did there was awesome. We ended up putting the shows on ourselves with the help of our resources and managers reaching out to local promotors and making those things happen. Because it just seemed people didn’t think that if we came to Australia that anybody would care, so they didn’t want to take care of us. So we just banked on ourselves. We come over there and it was so much fun I can’t wait till I’m back.”
I don’t know why anyone would think that. I remember seeing you guys at the 2015 Soundwave Festival you guys went off. I’ll never forget it.
“Yeah I remember it. I brought my wife with me and she was on the side of the stage with me as we’re watching Marilyn Manson and Manson made eye contact with my wife and my wife was so scared she’s like ‘he’s looking at me like he wants to eat me or something’ and I said ‘he does that, don’t worry about it, he’s just like that’. She was so scared and I explain the whole Manson mentality you know, his presence and things that happened during his shows.”
I tell the story of you guys at that show a lot. There was a sign on stage that said ‘no stage diving, moshing or crowd surfing’ and Jacoby (Shaddix) kept saying ‘this is bullshit, you’re at a punk show do what you want’. He kept throwing the sign on the ground and the security guard kept picking it up and putting git back. It happened the whole time and became a part of the show. It was so much fun. Everyone was having fun with it. Even the security guard. One of my favourite Soundwave memories.
“Yeah, I remember that afternoon. It’s crazy the rules, how they just can change randomly depending on the venue or the place. For me not being able to play live shows has been really hard. I feel like a live concert or festival, it’s just like the last tribal like experience that we have. Everyone just forgets and puts like politics aside, religion, anything and just you just lose yourself and just jump it out while the event is going on. You should be able to jump and crowd surf and it just sucks that we haven’t had that in over a year.”
I can imagine how it feels for bands. Music runs through my blood and I imagine it does with you. Even just doing this job and reviews, as soon as we shut down I didn’t know what to do with myself.
“Yeah, we are all in the same boat. Everyone’s trying to figure out how to deal with it. I mean we want to come back. We even talked about doing a small show where it was spaced out or like people in their cars, something like that, and I’m like ‘I want to but no I don’t actually’. I don’t because I just don’t think it’s the same. It’s not enjoyable, and I don’t want people to watch us and feel like it’s something fake or whatever, or feeling not inspired so I’d rather just wait it out.”
So let’s talk about the new album coming out. You have your second greatest hits album ‘Greatest Hits Vol. 2 – The Better Noise Years’ out March 19th. That just proves you’ve really gone the distance and for good reason. You’re constantly producing music that is still current and not repeating the same old formula. But it’s still very much Papa Roach. Is there something you’ve stuck to over the years when you write songs or do you feel inspired and it just come naturally?
“Definitely comes naturally. Ever since we met and we became friends, the band have always been music lovers and we use to sit around and jam you know. We would have reggae jams, we would hang out with the punk rockers, we would listen to James Brown and we would play funk music or we would play Ravi Shankar records or take psychedelics and jam to a drone for an hour and a half. Our music never had any barriers and we gravitated towards this, what they call the nu metal scene, I guess, in the late 90s. But our music has always just been a smorgasbord of styles. Punk or hip hop, you know, just whatever, like electronic music and ambient music, we just keep every phase that we go through individually and as a band we’re always trying to incorporate it. We’re not ashamed of it. Some people are like oh you’re a trend, they don’t like the idea of people going through phases, but I feel like it’s kind of normal and healthy to go through phases you know. You’re just trying different things and into this and into that, and sometimes I only listen to jazz music and I don’t know why. Sometimes I want to listen to the popular stuff, pop music. I want to know what’s current what’s going on. All of that way of thinking is kind of like how we make music and produce music.”
That’s exactly how I listen. I love all types of music, different music for different moods. I agree with you, you need to listen to different music to appreciate all music.
“We love it. We have the most fun especially when we make music. Sometimes if you’re not sure about it, you know if you’re a little scared or sceptical, if any fans will like it. But there’s something to be said for bands like AC/DC, where they have their sound and it’s classic. You know what you’re getting I love that too. We just have to be honest and authentic to who we are and we’re just like blahh, all over the place.”
Well, whatever you’re doing keep doing it. It’s working. I even still buy CD’s and vinyl. I love grabbing a new album when a favourite comes out.
“Yeah that’s right. They say that vinyl records sales have gone up 40 or 50%. They’ve outsold CDs which is wild. I’m too reckless for vinyl. I’m too impatient. I’m a bad DJ I guess. I’m always all over the place and switching things up, but one good thing about a record or a CD, it’s when you sit down and actually listen to the whole body of work in its entirety from beginning to end. People will be able to do with our greatest hits which is cool and even this new record that were finishing up right now. The intention wasn’t to make a full record but it seems like we’re going to be putting it out and we’re really, really excited about it. But right now we’re celebrating the last 10 years of our career which has been great. The greatest hits ‘part 2’ which is crazy.”
You’ve got 21 new tracks on the new Greatest Hits album including, 2 acoustic, 14 remastered, 4 remixes and one of those remixes is Broken As Me from ‘F.E.A.R’ featuring Danny Worsnop from Asking Alexandria. What a great remix. I guess you guys were friends before all this came out.
“Oh yeah. The first time we played with Danny and all the guys in Asking Alexandria we hit it off immediately. Danny is such a presence and such a rock star and a goofball and I love him. He’s got an amazing voice and we’ve been friends for a while and it was great to have him on a song like that. That was our way of making that song special. I don’t think that song was ever a single but it was always a fan favourite from that record, so we thought it’d be cool to spice it up with the little Danny Worsnop. I call him Danny Van Halen I don’t know why. He just feels like someone that should be from the 80’s.” *laughs*
The other amazing remix you’ve done is with TikTok star Jeris Johnson. It’s an amazing version of Last Resort. I actually really love it. How did you find Jeris?
“Yeah Jeris is such a talented kid, it’s crazy because you know, we’re not from that generation of the whole TikTok world. It’s funny because we were trying to find a way to celebrate the 20 year anniversary of ‘Infest’ and we were trying to figure out different ways and have guests come in and flip up Last Resort and it just so happened, while we were talking about that, this short clip of Jeris on TikTok doing his little remix on that song, started to go viral. I went and pretty much listened to everything that he had done because I wanted to check him out, like who is this kid. I went on YouTube and he’s been doing covers for years. He’s super talented he plays all these different instruments and he’s got a great voice and he can sing anything. He’s building up his own record as an artist and it was just the timing was just it ,was just meant to be. We hit him up, like let’s get in the studio, let’s get to know each other and see what happens. And right away we felt like we had made a new best friend and he was part of the family. So we were just like let’s finish this song and let’s just make it big and we’ll do a video we’ll go all out with it and put it out.Since then the reaction’s been really cool. I love it. I think it came out great and I really am proud of that. I’m really excited to see where he goes next with his own stuff because he’s the real deal man.”
You’ve got a couple of acoustic tracks listed on the greatest hits album coming, is one of them Periscope? I’m just asking because I love that song.
“I don’t think so. OK I don’t even know all of the acoustic songs on it. *laughs*
I was just thinking about which one would I like to hear acoustically and that one was the first I thought of.
“You know what, that’s funny you said that because we just did an interview yesterday, the whole band, and Jacoby said that he would like to do Periscope acoustic because we haven’t done it yet. But I do remember hearing one of the songs that was on the greatest hits and I believe it was Face Everything And Rise and it was acoustic and that’s weird because that song, it’s hard to emulate with acoustic. You literally have to change the arrangement almost to fit acoustic guitars, which is what we did. That’s a part of the fun and challenge of doing acoustic stuff sometimes, you get to have fun with it you know, change it up, do a reinterpretation if you will, and it gives the songs new life.”
Rise Against did an acoustic album a couple of years ago called ‘Ghost Note Syphonies Vol 1’ and they put ten of their songs on the album all reimagined as acoustic songs. It really touched me, when I first heard it I just I couldn’t stop listening to it. It gives those songs a whole new life. It’s like the yin and yang of the song.
“Yeah I know what you’re saying. Even though the song might take a little bit to restructure, it’s a good thing to do. I think too, you always know that you have a good song when you can break it down to its core. Just like three chords and the truth you know, that’s what they always say, if you can take a song and break it down to just acoustic guitar and vocals and it still sounds like it, still hits you, then you know you’re doing something right.”
Have you got any plans to tour? I know it’s probably looking far ahead but is anything booked in?
“No not this year. We have a lot of music dropping this year though. We’re going to be dropping new music like every month. We have a plan and there’s like little nuggets that are going to be tasty little presents. They are going to be dropping throughout the rest of the year until the whole touring thing really gets figured out. As soon as it does we can’t wait.”
Make sure you come to Australia as soon as you can because we’re pretty much fully open. We even have Festivals booking in for the end of the year.
“That’s a place that I wouldn’t be mad if they said ‘hey you can’t leave’. If once you get there you can’t leave for you know, whatever, two weeks, a month even better. I’d be like ‘cool I’m gonna go down to Esperance’.”

Judas Priest to record new album starting in January but will not tour until 2018
Heavy metal pioneers Judas Priest‘s guitarist Richie Faulkner was recently interviewed by Sweetwater editorial director Mitch Gallagher during a three-day recording master class entitled Making Hard Rock Look Easy in Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA.
Faulkner was asked about Judas Priest‘s follow-up to 2014’s Redeemer Of Souls album to which the guitarist replied: “I just flew straight back out of the UK — straight to Sweetwater. We’ve just been in the studio for a couple of months putting songs together. We haven’t started the recording process yet, but we’re recording demos. We’re recording songs that work without the production to save them, if you know what I mean. But the core value… We’re putting down some grassroots ideas and fleshing them out for the next Priest record. So we’re gonna go into the studio to start recording in January. So it should be out sometime next year. But we’re not touring next year. So we’re gonna be touring, hopefully in 2018.”
You can listen to the rest of the interview by Sweetwater below:
Mitch Gallagher is joined by Richie Faulkner, guitarist for Judas Priest. He talks about what it’s like playing for a band he came up listening to, how he g…
Sleaze Roxx stated the following in one of its two reviews of Redeemer Of Souls: “Although Judas Priest have offered thirteen tracks on Redeemer Of Souls, plus five more on the deluxe edition bonus disc, all of them are good — which is a testament to the band for providing a consistent strong batch of new songs. I even like the ballads that close each disc — “Beginning Of The End” and “Never Forget”, the latter which could potentially provide poignant moments on stage if played live. This is easily the best Judas Priest record since Glenn Tipton, Ian Hill and Scott Travis reunited with Halford over a decade ago. This is also the first Priest studio album not to feature guitarist K.K. Downing, but newcomer Richie Faulkner fills in admirably — frankly, the band do not seem to miss a beat without Downing.
The one small knock on Redeemer Of Souls is that there is no real standout track such as a “Victim Of Changes”, “Painkiller” or “You’ve Got Another Thing Comin’”. If you have the opportunity, I highly recommend that you pick up the deluxe version of the CD because the bonus disc contains some of the best tracks including the upbeat “Snakebite”, which reminds me of material found on Halford‘s last solo album Halford IV: Made Of Metal, the very good “Tears Of Blood”, the easy to sing along to “Bring It On” and the beautiful ballad “Never Forget”. Truth be told, I have listened to the bonus disc more than the main Redeemer Of Souls album. We might have to wait a little longer each time for Judas Priest to release new studio records, but the wait was worth it for Redeemer Of Souls.”

The Duchess of Cambridge has left hospital to recuperate at home after being treated for a severe bout of morning sickness.
Kate, who is less than 12 weeks pregnant, left King Edward VII Hospital this morning with Prince William following a three-day stay.
A pale, but relaxed looking Duchess, wrapped up against the cold in a coat and scarf, emerged from the building carrying a bouquet of yellow flowers.
Asked how she was feeling by the waiting press, she gave a brief smile and replied, "much better", before being driven away with the Duke of Cambridge by her side to Kensington Palace to rest.
Meanwhile, Prince Charles has become the first member of the royal family to publicly comment on news of the pregnancy .
"I'm thrilled, marvellous," he said.
"It's a very nice thought to become a grandfather in my old age. I'm very glad my daughter-in-law is getting better, thank goodness."
Kate was receiving treatment for hyperemesis gravidarum - a rare condition which causes severe vomiting during pregnancy and can cause dehydration, weight loss and a build-up of toxins in the blood or urine called ketosis.
She was admitted to the central London private hospital on Monday after developing the condition.
Her discharge comes the day after it emerged two Australian radio DJs managed to trick hospital staff treating the Duchess into revealing detailed information about her condition.
Sydney's 2Day FM presenters, Mel Craig and Michael Christian, impersonated the Queen and the Prince of Wales to dupe staff.
They, and the radio station, have since apologised for the prank call.
However, Christian has been promoting their stunt on Twitter telling followers in a tweet: "Still haven't heard the #RoyalPrank that has the world talking? Listen to it here..."
The hospital has said it "deplores" the stunt and is reviewing procedures.
In a brief statement, St James's Palace said: "Their Royal Highnesses would like to thank the staff at the hospital for the care and treatment the Duchess has received."
Kate's sister Pippa and her brother James spent an hour visiting her at the hospital on Wednesday, while the Duchess' parents Carole and Michael Middleton are thought to have visited their daughter on Tuesday.
There has been no announcement about when the baby is due, who will be third in line to the British throne after William and his father Charles.
The new royal will be the first great grand child of a serving monarch, in direct succession, in almost 120 years.
There has been speculation that Kate could be carrying twins, as the acute sickness she is suffering from is more common in such pregnancies.

Regarded as one of the greatest lead singers in the history of rock music, Freddie Mercury defied the conventions of a frontman, with his highly theatrical style and flamboyant stage persona.
I was only a kid when Freddie Mercury passed away, but saw his Queen co-stars Brian May and Roger Taylor make an epic cameo at a Foo Fighters concert in Hyde Park, London.
Fun fact, Queen’s hit, “Best Friend” is mine and Holly’s song.

Has MTV's The Real World faked out Brooklyn? First they're all but confirmed to move into Downtown Brooklyn's BellTell Lofts, with rumors of a Carroll Gardens residence quickly disappearing, but now an intern says the show "may not even film there because they were having some issues with the BellTel Lofts building with the location at 116 Third Place in Carroll Gardens as the backup." Residents beware! The Real Deal all but confirms the Carroll Gardens locale, saying that "equipment that will be used for the show's filming has been transported from BellTel to the new location." Curbed warns of the inevitable protests, message board madness, and dare we say riots that the show will be met with in the neighborhood. It's gonna be so real.
UPDATE:Curbed is reporting on a rumor that The Real World is now moving to...Red Hook!

30 Jun Making Food Available to Anybody
Very proud of my team at Blendhub! After Murcia Food Bank’s visit to our company, we all initiated a very successful food collection, bringing together over 300 kilograms of food products- four big boxes!
Inequality and poverty has increased significantly in Spain after the economic crisis- a situation that requires the constant effort and commitment of local non-profit organizations, such as the Murcia Food Bank, which asked companies like Blendhub to help collect about 500 tons of food and to assist 90,000 families at risk of social exclusion.
The organization estimated at our headquarters that 1.7 million people are living in extreme poverty in Spain. For a business like ours being part of such an action is fundamental since we are a company with the main purpose of contributing to make it possible a more just and safer access to food for more people in more places.
Because of this, Blendhub is initiating a change in the agri-food value chain to make food powder blends available anywhere, to anybody. Great challenges take time, although the urgency is maximal when one out of six people has no access to food.
Thank you Murcia Food Bank for your wonderful work.

LAUDERHILL -- A shopping center owner whose parking variance became a factor in the indictment of City Council member Ilene Lieberman, was unanimously denied a similar variance on Monday.
``Before I vote, I want to make sure this is not a conflict of interest,`` said newly reinstated council member Lieberman at her first day back on the council after a seven-month suspension. She was acquitted on March 19 of a charge of interfering with the March 1986 election.
``You have to make the decision,`` said City Attorney Anthony Titone.
Titone defined a conflict of interest as a council member benefiting financially or personally by voting on a proposal.
``I`m not benefiting in any way from this,`` said Lieberman, her comments followed by applause from a packed council chambers, so she cast her vote.
Robert Kozich, part owner of the Promenade of Inverrary Shopping Center on University Drive, wanted the variance to build a bagel shop at the center. He was 37 parking spaces short of what the city requires.
Although the council approved a similar parking variance for Kozich last year, several members felt a second variance would create a parking problem at the center.

I love this hilarious talk by Adam Gopnik.
Occasionally, my mom will call me up to check in on me. Since she is grazing those years between hot Asian lady and grandma, more and more often, she calls to ask me if I’ve eaten. Mostly, she is happy that I cook and feed myself. She is also always astonished to hear about what I’m cooking and wants me to spell out letter by letter anything that is not a Chinese dish we had growing up. So this recipe, P-O-L-E-N-T-A is dedicated to you, mom.


The place of picturesque parks, a dam full of ducks, coffee shops, restaurants and an unexpected hill to admire our iconic cityscape, Northcliff and its tree-lined surrounds is where you want to live. From yoga in the botanical gardens to the best antiquing in Joburg, there’s never a lack of cool things to do.

Connecting the dots – Using SAP Business Technology Platform to make GPT a better product
Great technology does not always result in great product
I know this blog series will be addressing one of the most (if not the most) hyped and polemic topics nowadays. But before we enter in any philosophical disscussion about whether our jobs are at risk or any GDPR concepts, I just want to let you know that this is not the focus. However, some contextualization is needed to understand better deep dive that we are about to do.
Here in Brazil there was a revolutionary carmaker called Gurgel. In 1975, when Elon Musk was 4 years old, still playing in his backyard and the interest in electric cars was rising due to the oil crisis, this carmaker created one the first models of electric vehicles. The Gurgel Itaipu had an autonomy of 80KM with a single charge on its battery. A pretty impressive feat considering that this happened almost half a century ago. This was cutting edge technology at the time. However, this great technology inherently did not attend the needs from the customers. The autonomy was insufficient to be daily used, the battery took a long time to be charged (9 hours to be precise) and as you may see below, let´s just say it did not look as nice as a Ferrari. It was bad a product.
You might be asking yourself: ok, what does this have to do with GPT and LLM technologies? The similarity is that as of today, we are being presented to a great technology that has the capability of changing the way we work and society itself. However, we need to find ways to integrate this technology with other existing technologies and even more important: put it to execute and automate tasks for us. Otherwise, GPT is only an overly priced deluxe chatbot and… a bad product. Before you argue with me, I´m just agreeing with a statement that Sam Altman, OpenAI´s CEO, gave during an interview.
Using SAP Business Technology Platform to enhance GPT and OpenAI with custom context
Before starting the development for this scenario, I was planning to do a single blog. But doing it on a single blog would make it way too long, as this scenario has a high complexity involved in it. Therefore, I broke it down in the blogs below:
- Using SAP Data Intelligence to generate embeddings with custom data in OpenAI
- Using SAP Data Intelligence and python to embed custom data in OpenAI prompts
- Using API Management to expose OpenAI´s completion APIs for applications (Coming soon…)
You can find the overall architecture for this scenario below:
Another important disclaimer that I would like to make: this blog series is just an example to provide insights about the possibility of embedding existing business context into LLM technologies. It will be using SFLIGHT database as the data source for the example, but you will see that with a little bit of prompt and embedding engineering, it is adaptable to other data sources as well, whilst maintaning the data governance with features that SAP Data Intelligence provides us. However, data governance is not the focus of this blog series.
The goal of this blogs series is to give you insights about how to use business contextual data (provided and governed by the IT department, a capability enabled by SAP Data Intelligence) to provide users with valuable information that will help them in their daily tasks.
That being said, I wish you a happy reading!

Many people got off the bus coming from Szeghalom in the center of Csökmő on a weekday morning. An aging woman was at the doctor’s, her traveling companion had stopped shopping, but there was also someone who was managing his affairs in a government office in a small town nearby.
– Are you peaceful in Hajdú-Bihar? – we asked some residents of Csokmó. Of course, our interest is not without reason, since there was a period when the management of Csökmő, which is almost “glued” to the county border, with a population of almost two thousand, strongly considered changing the county and moving to Békés instead of Hajdú-Bihar. Nothing came of the local referendum, but this did not change the essence: when the people of Csokmo hear the word ‘city’, they immediately think it’s Szeghalom.
Why is? In addition to those who get off the bus, we also have longer conversations with people from Czökmö.
“Of course Békés!” – says Szilvia Baranyáné Csuka, the mother of five children, and then starts listing how they are connected to Szeghalom and Békés county. – My oldest daughter is now a university student in Szeged, she went to high school in Békéscsaba and elementary school in Szeghalom. My son goes to high school in Békéscsaba, but he finished the eighth grade there and also went to kindergarten there. My middle daughter studies at the secondary school in Szeghalm, and also went to kindergarten and primary school in the nearby town. My husband works in Körösladány, also in Békés, and is taken to and from his workplace by bus every day. But if you ask anyone here, it turns out that there isn’t a family that isn’t connected to Békés County because of work or school. Then the shopping! Of course, we go to Szeghalom and to Békéscsaba for big shopping, when we go to the dormitory to pick up the boy at the end. We even have our family doctor in Szeghalm. Why are we more attached to Békés and Szeghalom? It’s simple: Berettyóújfalu is 37 km away, Szeghalom is 10 km away – Baranyáné lists the arguments in favor of Békés, who reveals that in her youth she could not imagine that if it were a city, then it should not be Berettyóújfalu, if it was a big city, then it should not be Debrecen. However, the smaller distance and the simpler and safer means of transport brought changes in his life and that of his family. He also adds that both Debrecen and Békéscsaba are 70 km away. Csaba, on the other hand, is a smaller town, with significantly fewer cars on the roads, no traffic jams, and everything they need. For fun, they go to Gyula the best, but sometimes Debrecen is also mentioned.
We also knocked on the door of the director of the Village Hall, Andrea Földesi-Kiss. In addition to workplaces, schools and shopping, he includes the easier handling of official matters to prove why the population of his village is oriented towards Szeghalom, despite the fact that it is the other county. However, he noted: it is true that they go to the nearby small town for medical care and treatment, but if they need to go to a hospital, the people of Szeghalmi prefer Berettyóújfalu.
– Culture, programs? – the director returns to her field of expertise. “It’s as if the county border doesn’t even exist!” We are talking about neighbors or the neighbors of our neighbors, and this is how it goes everywhere in cultural life and in the program offerings. If we organize an event, we send the organizer, if they do, we receive it from them, so we have a close relationship with the cultural institutions of the surrounding settlements. At our regional events, the people of Vésztá, Szeghalmi and Füzegyalmati are also here, just as the people of Csokmo also go to the three nearby towns. District competitions, where we have graphics, also come from localities in Békés County. The program of our camps also includes locations in Békés county, more precisely, we are in Békés at least as much as in Hajdú-Bihar. The closest beach to us is in Füzesgyarmat. Children from Csokmó go there for swimming lessons. In such cases, we bring and take them by bus every day for two weeks, he listed.
However, Tibor Nagy, the mayor of Csökmő, is already shading his town’s ties to Szeghalom and Békés county, not denying that in everyday life the residents’ ties to their neighbors are perfectly understandable. This is also helped by the hourly bus service. However, the distance speaks in favor of the Békés settlements. But what about official, municipal matters? “Please, we belong to Hajdú-Bihar in this,” states the first man of the village. – Previously, Csökmő belonged to the nearby Szeghalom in several areas and associations. However, we have left these behind us in the last decade. For example, the family support service: The center was moved to Dévaványa, then the small town of Békés split off and became independent, and we headed towards Berettyóújfalu. As with all our municipal matters, the direction of management is Berettyóújfalu, Debrecen and the Northern Great Plain region. (Békés, like Szeghalom, also belongs to the Southern Great Plain region – ed.) Of course, we have maintained good relations with the settlements in North Békés and their mayors. We attend each other’s events, we are there at the meetings of the Füzesgyalmati micro-regional association. We are only in the association in the medical service, which is now provided by the ambulances, he said.
Former Bihar Villages
And what’s going on in the small town of South Bihar, Komádi? When we were there, Mayor Ferenc Tóth was in Debrecen on official business, so his deputy mayor, László Hídvégi, informed us about his city’s relations with Békés county. In the introduction, he said that the border of the historical Bihar county was between Gyula and Sarkad. So the settlements that are now in Eszák Békés were integral parts of the region to which Komádi belongs.
“What connects us is education and jobs.” Our students go to secondary school in Gyula and Békéscsaba, while many go to Békés settlements to work thanks to the company’s worker flights and excellent bus transport. They also come to us, for example from Zsadány, or to do business from Körösnagyharsány. it is ordered by the cooperation of civil organizations – so to speak – on a daily basis. He doesn’t talk about family and friendships. Komád residents do 90 percent of their bulk shopping in Békés towns. And if we look at the distances, Békéscsaba is a little closer. 59 km away, while Debrecen is 63 km away – he concluded his thoughts.

Pocket chronometers with barrel
Pocket chronometers are considered to be the precursors to deck watches. Lange & Soehne originally produced pocket chronometers with going barrels for scientific purposes. Often set in wooden boxes, they were to be used as deck chronometers on ships. Following this style the watches were designed with 14,400 alternations per hour; as a result the second hand was able to jump every half second. The watches all have pivoted detent escapements, which were designed in two different styles: one version was the chronometer escapement according to Berthoud, the other the escapement according to Julius Grossmann, which had an additional safety lever to prevent the escapement wheel from going on once the balance had been taken out.

Review: Arturo O'Farrill & Chucho Valdés, 'Familia: Tribute To Bebo & Chico'
Note: NPR's First Listen audio comes down after the album is released. However, you can still listen with the Apple Music playlist at the bottom of the page.
It's impossible to overstate the importance of both Bébo Valdés and Chico O'Farrill to 20th century Afro-Cuban music and jazz.
Their rich and multi layered influence is evident in iconic compositions, big band arrangements written 60 years ago that still sound cutting edge, and piano playing that echo Cuban classical music and jazz pianist Bill Evans.
The curious thing is that each made those contributions on opposite sides of the Florida Straights. Bebo Valdés (1918-2013) was a pianist, composer, arranger and bandleader in Havana, while Chico O'Farrill (1921-2001) was busy leading ensembles in New York. Their paths through Cuban music reflect unbreakable musical ties between the U.S. and Cuba that defied politics and a Cold War.
Familia: Tribute to Bebo and Chico, is just that: a multi-generational celebration of their lofty contributions led by their sons, pianist and composer Chucho Valdés and pianist and bandleader Arturo O'Farrill, in a series of performances that not only pay tribute to their fathers, but also continue to expand the tradition of Afro-Cuban jazz.
Tribute's generational magic doesn't stop there. Pianist Leyanis Valdés and drummer Jessie Valdés would have made their grandfather proud, and the same can be said about trumpeter Zack O'Farrill and drummer Adam O'Farrill. These inclusions are not just acts of empty nepotism. The playing is skilled, creative and impressive. For fans of Chucho and Arturo, this will come as no surprise since each pair of progeny have recorded extensively under the family name.
Chucho Valdés is literally a towering figure of Cuban music made on the island. Standing over 6 feet in height, his explorations of the African influences in Cuban music are so profound that he is revered by musicians who play jazz, dance music, Buena Vista styled classic Cuban son, and even the island's hip-hop community.
Arturo O'Farrill took over his dad's regular Sunday night big band gig when his father died in 2001 and used the gig to remind music fans not just of Chico's individual contribution, but also of the magic found in the sounds of all those horns playing intricate, joyful noise over Afro-Cuban mambos swing. He has recast the band as the Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra and has brought the music into the 21st century.
The entire album is full of music that would have intrigued both elder statesmen. And yet this album is so much more than a tribute to musical giants. It has the feel of an emotional homage to patriarchs who have left both a familial and musical legacy in their wakes.

DINNER IN MINUTES JUL 28, 2010
Start with cooked chicken breast halves and you won't have to go near a stove for this recipe, which is a go-to for the Chevy Chase/Ingleside unit of the local League of Women Voters chapter.
This sweet, crunchy salad is in the group's new spiral-bound collection of recipes. It can be served by itself with good crackers, atop greens, with cooked farfalle pasta mixed in, in warm pita halves or with thin slices of grilled bread. Leftovers are great for lunch the next day.
The book costs $12, plus $3 shipping and handling; send check or money order to League of Women Voters of D.C., 1100 15th St. NW, Washington, D.C. 20005. Be advised that some recipes do not have yield/total number of servings information.
SERVINGS: 4 - 6
3 to 4 cooked boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (may substitute white meat from a rotisserie chicken)
1 whole pineapple
4 ribs celery
1 bunch scallions
1 cup seedless green grapes
1/2 cup/38g sliced almonds, plus more for garnish
2 to 3 limes
1/3 cup chutney, such as Major Grey's
1/2 to 3/4 cup regular or low-fat mayonnaise (do not use nonfat)
1 teaspoon curry powder, or more as needed
1/2 teaspoon salt, or more as needed (optional)
Freshly ground black pepper
Cut or shred the cooked chicken to yield 3 cups, and transfer to a mixing bowl. Trim, peel and core half of the pineapple; cut the it into bite-size chunks to yield about 2 1/2 cups and add to the bowl (reserve the remaining half for another use). Trim the celery; cut it lengthwise into strips, then cut it on the diagonal into 1/2-inch pieces to yield 1 to 1 1/4 cups. Trim the scallions, then cut the white and light-green parts crosswise to yield a scant 1 cup. Cut the grapes in half; the celery, scallions and grapes all go in the bowl, along with the almonds.
Combine the following ingredients in a separate medium bowl as you prep them: Use a microplane grater to zest 1 lime (including no pith) to yield at least 1 teaspoon. Cut the fruit in half and squeeze out the juice; repeat with as many limes as needed to yield 1/3 cup. Coarsely chop the chutney. Add the mayonnaise (to taste), curry powder and salt, if desired; whisk together until smooth, then add to the chicken mixture.
Toss to coat evenly. Season with pepper to taste and mix well. Sprinkle with almonds before serving.

Indian authorities have launched a search operation after a Himalayan glacier broke, sending a massive flood of water and debris slamming into two dams and damaging a number of homes.
At least nine people have been killed and 140 are missing.
Officials said when the glacier broke Sunday it sent water trapped behind it as well as mud and other debris surging down the mountain and into other bodies of water.
A video shared by officials and taken from the side of steep hillside shows a wall of water surging into one of the dams and breaking it into pieces with little resistance before continuing to roar downstream.
