African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) has announced that its Board of Directors has approved the opening of the Bank’s CARICOM Office in Barbados.
Afreximbank CARICOM Office would support the implementation of the Partnership Agreement, entered into by, and between, Afreximbank and CARICOM Member States aimed at expanding Africa-Caribbean trade and investment relations.
10 out of the 15 CARICOM Member States have signed the Agreement, which confers upon the signatories the status akin to those held by Africa Participating States. It consolidates the Bank’s efforts to promote and develop South-South trade, specifically trade between Africa and the Caribbean, in line with its Diaspora Strategy and African Union’s designation of the African Diaspora as Africa’s sixth region.
Following the establishment of the Partnership Agreement, US$1.5 billion in credit limit was approved by the Board of Directors of Afreximbank to support eligible CARICOM States, with a commitment to increase this to US$3 billion. The financing will be targeted at supporting economic sectors identified as core to boosting the region’s prosperity, particularly the development of trade-enabling infrastructure, as well as boosting trade and investments between Africa and the CARICOM Member States while providing support to Small and Medium Enterprises (SME’s).
The establishment of Afreximbank CARICOM Office is critical to facilitating operations of the Bank in the Caribbean Community. It will bring Afreximbank’s products and initiatives closer to the business community and ensure that the Bank rapidly ramps-up operations to promote stronger relations with the Governments in the region towards the pursuit of mutually identified priorities.
Professor Benedict Oramah, President and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Afreximbank, said: “I am delighted to announce this important milestone as we forge closer ties with our brothers and sisters in the Caribbean. There are enormous opportunities to scale the trade and investment flows between the African continent and the broader African diaspora. Investment flows between Africa and the Caribbean are currently almost non-existent. This strategic partnership will open the door for enhanced trade and investment between Africa and the Caribbean. We are poised to right the wrongs of the middle passage. This approval is an important step towards that end”.

“Lutyens in Spain” – a lecture by Inigo Basarrate
Monday, 29 October, 2018
Reviewed by Michael Barker
Spanish scholar and architect Iñigo Basarrate delivered an interesting lecture, aptly in Edwin Lutyens’s library in his former YWCA building, now The Bloomsbury hotel where the Trust holds its Christmas luncheon. He shed light on Lutyens’s career in Spain for four aristocratic clients from 1915 until the 1930s.
Tragically, due mainly to the Spanish Civil War, little of this survives. Lutyens’s career in Spain began in September 1915 at a party at Ashby St Ledgers given by his client Ivor Guest, where Lutyens met Hernando Fitz-James Stuart, Duke of Peñaranda de Duero and younger brother of the Duke of Alba. The two men got on well and Lutyens was invited to visit Spain, staying at the Albas’ luxurious Liria Palace in Madrid. Like Alba, the English-educated Peñaranda became a great friend of Lutyens.
Spain, neutral during the First World War, was now politically stable and undergoing a period of economic development while its Anglophile, polo and golf-playing upper classes commissioned English-style houses from British architects. In Madrid, Lutyens studied El Escorial and absorbed traditional architecture generally. On a second visit he met the King and Queen of Spain in Madrid. His immersion in grand Spanish life was all very enjoyable.
El Guadalperal near Cáceres, designed for Peñaranda, would have been one of Lutyens’s greatest country houses yet all that survives of it are some farm buildings. For Peñaranda’s sister, the Duchess of Santoña, Lutyens designed La Ventosilla, a country house near Toledo with a large patio and arcaded galleries of which the RIBA has some beautiful watercolours. But it too was not built, due to Santoña’s sudden bankruptcy, nor was a house for the rich Count of La Cimera, which for once was in an Italianate style.
After the catastrophic interruption of the Spanish Civil War, during which Liria Palace was largely destroyed and Peñaranda murdered, Lutyens was in contact with the Duke of Alba who became Spanish ambassador to Britain and commissioned him to restore his palace and provide designs for its interior. This was one of Lutyens’s last works and was realised after his death by a Madrid architect, though somewhat modified.

Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott has announced a settlement among Texas and other states with pharmaceutical giant Schering-Plough Inc. that will return more than $9 million to the Texas Medicaid program for the company’s fraudulent reporting of prices for the antihistamine drug Claritin.
The total payout to 49 states and the District of Columbia is $140.7 million.
“We will continue to aggressively recover money that rightfully belongs to the Texas Medicaid program from companies that attempt to defraud the system that was established to help the neediest of patients,” said Attorney General Abbott.
The settlement relates to Schering-Plough’s under-reporting to Medicaid of drug rebates given to HMOs from 1996-98. The federal rebate program requires drug makers that participate in the Medicaid program to give accurate information about its “best price” available for a product, in this case, Claritin.
The manufacturers report the best price, encompassing discounts or other incentives, to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which uses this information to calculate rebates for the states’ Medicaid programs. In this case, Schering-Plough negotiated with HMOs to keep Claritin on a formulary list of drugs instead of a competitor’s product. However, the company did not notify the government of discounts it provided when it reported its best price.
As a result, Medicaid programs received millions less in rebates from the company than would have been paid had the best price amount been reported accurately.
Affecting the best price scheme was the company’s concessions to remain on the Medicaid formulary list. To accomplish this, the company paid a $2.5 million “data processing fee” to CIGNA for utilization reports this HMO was already obligated to provide Schering-Plough; the company’s prepayment of rebates, which were the equivalent of interest-free loans to both CIGNA and Pacificare; and Schering-Plough’s agreement to pay Pacificare’s antihistamine costs if those costs reached more than 25 percent over the previous year.
In addition to this settlement, the company entered a plead guilty plea with the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Philadelphia, PA, to federal anti-kickback charges, paying a fine of $52.5 million.

Craig — The United States Constitution, which first came into being about 227 years ago, is a document that impacts all Americans, yet if you ask a passer-by on the street about the freedoms guaranteed by any of the 10 amendments that make up the Bill of Rights or which qualifications are required to run for the U.S. Senate, all you may get is a blank stare.
Even so, a group of kids who recently had one of the best field trips of their lives could tell you these details and a lot more.
The Colorado State Capitol saw visitors from Northwest Colorado on Friday morning during the festivities for Liberty Day, an educational experience allowing students to see the activities of government entities and even meet the people who are part of the process.
A total of 12 fifth-grade students — 10 from Craig elementary schools and two from Walden's North Park Elementary School — were able to attend the program, part of the Liberty Day Institute's celebration of the birthday of Constitution author James Madison, who was born March 16, 1751.
The students joined other students from the Denver area in the Capitol building, briefly meeting state and national legislators who were in attendance.
As part of the activity, which encouraged students to quiz adults about the details of the Constitution, Sandrock Elementary School student Coltyn Terry posed a question to Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper about the five tenets of the First Amendment during a press conference.
Coltyn said the governor listed off "freedom of speech" before having to move on with other things.
"He said, 'I'll get back to you later,'" Coltyn said.
East Elementary student Giovany Tarango said they continued quizzing people of all sorts, including their tour guides, who noted being impressed with the kids' knowledge.
"We stumped most of them," he said.
In turn, Giovany said he was awed by the architecture of the Capitol and the Denver Justice Center, which they also got to see.
"They were beautiful buildings, really nice pieces of art," he said.
Giovany said he'll be compiling a PowerPoint presentation of his experiences for his classmates and teacher Marco Cuevas.
"It was neat to see their enthusiasm, and they were so well-behaved and so polite while they were there," Sandrock teacher Amy Tague said. "There was a lot of learning and a lot of note-taking. They were asking me questions even I didn't know."
Ridgeview Elementary teacher Tyler Loyd said students who attended Liberty Day were selected based on submitted essays, adding it was a shame funds were not available so everyone at the grade level could make the trip. The roster included two students each from East and Ridgeview and three each from Sandrock and Sunset.
Debbie McLain and the Augusta Wallihan Chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution helped make the available funding possible for the inaugural year for Northwest Colorado students to attend the program.
"They were just tickled to have us," she said. "It was really nice to see the response and how impressed they were with our kids."
McLain said she hopes to aid in the effort to allow more students to go to Denver next year and pointed to the work done by teachers in the classroom as examples of solid education in the area.
"Obviously, something is working, and we really need to be proud of our kids," she said. "I know I'm really proud of them."
Coltyn said he was glad to be part of the once-in-a-lifetime encounter.
"It was a really cool experience," he said.

Notes from the music beat… It took modern rockers OK Go a minute to get going on its third album, “Of the Blue Colour of the Sky,” which came out in January. Frontman Damian Kulash says that after 31 months touring to promote its predecessor, “Oh No,” the quartet had to regain its footing in the converted Amish barn in upstate New York where it was working with producer Dave Fridmann of the Flaming Lips. “When we started writing again,” says Kulash, 34, “the bag of tricks we were used to relying on just didn’t feel right, and for six or eight months, we wrote stuff that we just basically hated. It was really depressing to try to do the thing you think you’re good at and just be bad at it. “So we started writing much more by playing with very rudimentary kind of sonic elements — a drumbeat or a bass sound — and we just kind of chased the little bits that felt the most emotionally resonant. We had a really super-hard time, and I think you can hear it in the songs. It was very rewarding, but very taxing as well.” “Blue Colour” debuted at No. 39 on the Billboard 200 — OK Go’s best showing yet — and, like “Oh No,” it’s spawned a series of clever videos that have driven the viral popularity for singles such as “WTF?” and “This Too Shall Pass,” the latter of which features a clip performed with the Notre Dame University marching band. The attention for the videos sometimes eclipses regard for OK Go’s music, but Kulash — who attended Interlochen Arts Academy as a youth — says the band is learning to deal with that. “There’s this constant grumbling about us as ‘that video band,’ ” he notes, “and supposedly we’re supposed to feel embarrassed that our videos are so successful ’cause it somehow undermines the quality of our music. “That really seems counter-intuitive to me. I’d much rather have them be seen as a single project rather than separate elements. If the video is of equal power to the music, the band isn’t less of a creative force — it’s more, you know?” OK Go, Earl Greyhound and the Booze perform on Thursday, April 22, at the Magic Stick, 4120 Woodward Ave., Detroit. Doors open at 7 p.m. Tickets are $15. Call 313-833-9700 or visit
. As Mississippi rockers Saving Abel prepare for the June 8 release of their second album, “Miss America,” frontman Jared Weeks acknowledges that the sextet is a bit nervous. ” ‘Addicted’ was such a huge hit, we’ll spend most of our career trying to catch up with it,” Weeks says of the ubiquitous radio anthem from Saving Abel’s self-titled, gold-certified 2008 debut album. “It’s not like we didn’t want it to be (a hit), but its one of those things you’ve got to prepare yourself for. It’s like we’re a pack of meat thrown in a cage of wild dogs.” Weeks says the band does take comfort in the fact that “Addicted” was one of the last songs written for “Saving Abel” and notes that “we’ve done a much better job of taking that sound and extending it. We’re definitely a much more mature band.” Saving Abel has released the first single from “Miss America,” “Stupid Girl (Only in Hollywood),” with “The Sex is Good” lined up to follow it. The group filmed a video for the former this week, and it’s even had a little time at home to bask in its success. “I used to work at the Wal-Mart in Corinth for five years, but I still stop there,” says Weeks, who now resides in Atlanta. “It’s kind of like if the Beatles went to the Wal-Mart in their hometown. It’s totally great. I’m grateful, ’cause we really have worked our little butts off, so just to have so many people go out of their way and want a picture or an autograph or anything like that, it makes it all worth it.” Saving Abel and Taddy Porter perform Thursday, April 22, at the Crofoot Ballroom, 1 S. Saginaw St., Pontiac. Doors open at 8 p.m. Tickets are free and available at

Lying on Acropolis, the magnificent birthplace of Greek myths, Parthenon serves as the most representative figure in Greek culture, and was built to worship Athens’ patron deity, Athena. Funded by the Delian League in memory of the victory in the Persian War, Parthenon has also seen a demonstration of absolute Athenian dominance, built right on the debris of the original temple that was destructed by the Persians. Similarly, Federal Hall is presently seen as the democracy milestone in America’s history. Served as the first congress, supreme court, and executive branch offices, and also went through destruction, Federal Hall now solemnly stands on Wall Street, reminding people of the national pride it resembles. One can argue that Parthenon and Federal Hall serves as a symbol of democracy in their nations. During the construction of the Parthenon, every detail was voted by the citizens of Athens; Federal Hall, even though it didn’t go through the same process, whose location, and its own body was still carefully selected and was reconstructed many times for various purposes. More importantly, Federal Hall carried all forms of historic democratic highlights, such as the signing of the Bill of Rights. The two architectures are often seen as the resemblance of democracy. Parthenon, built in the “Golden Age” under the lead of Pericles, represents the democracy under one man’s rule; Federal Hall, however, even though borrowed the similar Dorian structure from Parthenon, resembles a more concrete democratic system that the Athenian democracy failed to present.
Parthenon is frequently seen as the representation of national dominance and restored democracy demonstrated by the Athenians. After capturing the Persians at the gulf of Salamis, the coalition of Spartans and the Athenians established a good reputation for defeating the Persians by using successful strategies. Then Athens, which later on expanded her ambition to a prodigious empire, decided to build an alliance named Delian League. Then during its empirical era, Athens turned her affiliated city-states to client states and they had to pay treasury by certain periods to be under Athens’ protection. Then the leading statesman, Pericles, brought up the proposal of restoring the temple as well as demonstrating the world of Athenian dominance. Pericles’ proposal, later on, was passed by the Athenian assembly—the Council. The entire process was based on the majority-ruled policy which later on recognized as Athenian democracy. The procedure of constructing the Parthenon was also democratic: A suggestion would be brought up to the national assembly, then the assembly would debate then vote if the detail of construction would be passed or not. In the end, five guys were voted to lead the construction: Phidias and Kalamis, who were the designers of interior sculptures, and Ictinus and Calibrates were the architects, and Pericles, who was in charge of the overall construction.
Even though the construction of the temple was seemingly beneficial to the Athenians, the historical facts are against the common belief. It was indeed brought beneficial to Athens. As the greatest sea power during the era, the construction of the temple undoubtedly increased patriotism towards the Athens Empire, and it indeed created more job opportunities for the lower-class men especially on construction. Parthenon is a treasure to the world too. In fact, including many other notable architectures that have been remained in nowadays Greece, many architecture masterpieces were built during the Golden Age of Pericles, together continuously inspire modern architecture such as Federal Hall and the replica in Tennessee. However, it was possibly initially not recognized by the Hellenic people. According to Meiggs theory, after the battle of Plataea, the Hellenic people already agreed that they would not build another temple on the ruins of the Persian War, for they wanted to leave the ruin as “an everlasting memorial of the barbarian’s sacrilege” (Meiggs, 37). So the motive of building the temple was not the majority of people’s pursue in the first place, but Athenians still built it anyways. What’s more, even the motif of building architecture can be justified by restoring the national pride, it can’t change the fact that Pericles was using the entire Delian League’s treasury to construct his own state. So it can’t be neglected that Athenians treated their alliances as objects and used the league’s funds for their own purposes. What makes this movement more suspicious, is, even though these architectures that survived after thousands of years undeniably were the treasure in the Hellenic era too, unfortunately, most people who enjoyed this benefit were Athens people but not the rest of the Delian League; and the number of the Athenians who had seen Parthenon in their lifetime is much less than what it is predicted nowadays.
So there have been voices arguing Parthenon was more like a political campaign and a religious restoration Pericles made targeting the lower-class men and aristocrats. Pericles promises of opening more jobs to lower-class men and protect the religious unity regarding the construction. And by this Pericles won the workers’ and craftsmen’s hearts. Meanwhile, before the Persian war, Persian people already brought in Zoroastrianism, a form of monotheism by believing in only one god. It is reasonable to predict that during the Persian invasion Zoroastrianism was spread to Athens. On the other hand, new science began taking place, led by Thucydides and later on Socrates, attacking the idea of polytheism and the notion of moral cosmos; the elite class began losing to believe, only paid lip service to the gods. To restore the existing aristocracy, which, to some extent, maintaining his leadership, Pericles started conveying people to rebuild the sacred temple. It was also proven that one of the designers was Pericles’ friend, so clearly it was a misuse of power. So more likely built under Pericles’ intention, despite establishing national dominance of religious sacredness of the Athens, Parthenon was served more like a political tool of keeping his reign while keeping Pericles’ promises to the lower class, and the way of promoting his best friends.
Federal Hall, on the other hand, witnessed the birth of constitutional democracy. Served as the Stamp Act Congress, the building had been served for rebellious uses against the British, and from 1785 to 1789 it served as the congress of the confederation. However, the most significant event was the inauguration of George Washington, which ensembles that the constitutional democracy had been instituted by the American government. Then having gone through reconstructions and demolishment it was renovated in 1812 after the capital of the U.S was moved to Philadelphia. The new structure borrowed the classic Dorian structure of the Parthenon, in the meaning of borrowing its democracy too. Then in 1883, a new statue of George Washington sculpted by John Quincy Adams Ward added the final touch of the Federal Hall we see today. Interestingly, Parthenon has a chryselephantine statue standing inside of the temple, designed by Phidias, to represent the goddess herself and the great success that Athenians made, so one may argue that the two statues share the same meaning but different. The Athenian democracy, which doesn’t have a fundamental law or debate but directly vote. Meanwhile, the modern-day democracy more contains, in Wolin’s words, “a constitution that establishes representative government and so enables a large, scattered citizenry to “participate”; and a pluralistic politics that is generated by free competition between highly organized economic and social interests”(Wolin, 84).
However, if the initial purpose of using a similar Dorian structure aims at borrowing the Athenian democracy as well, people will probably be disappointed because the two buildings, even though they look similar, represents different concepts of democracy. Athenian democracy, even Periclean democracy, was performed in a relatively peaceful way. Even though it was seen as tyranny, Eupatrids and Draco’s Council of 500 already demonstrated their determination of bringing Athens a more powerful political structure. Then in 593 BC when Solon, a nobleman succeeded the leadership, he peacefully reformed the existing council by elevating the economic burden while shredding the influence of remaining aristocracy. Because the former leaders already built a strong base of democracy, when Pericles succeeded from the hollow structure from Cleisthenes, it was also peaceful and in a democratic way. America, however, established its democracy by unrecognizing nobilities and in a form of violence. Wanted to be recognized and treated equally by the British government but ignored, inspired by the French Revolution, the series of huge defensive actions against the British Empire like Battles in Lexington and the signing of Bill of rights was based on the idea of “give me liberty or give me death” by Patrick Henry.
One can argue that American has conquered the democracy problems where Athens failed to realize. As Plato once said, “Democracy is a savage beast, and the Athenians proved this by making beasts of themselves”(Cary, 209), indicating the Athenian democracy will eventually turn into tyranny. Indeed, Athens was the most successful state that utilizes democracy after it emerges, whereas other Ionian states, even though after the defeat of Sparta gave way to oligarchies to democracies, was not able to control it from turning to tyranny. After the Persian War, the Athens embarked upon a new ear between the death of Aristotle and the rising of Pericles. It does not doubt that Pericles is a good leader, and as a leading statesman, the assembly always seeks his guidance because he can always uphold the satisfaction among them by his amazing proposals and excellent speech skills. However, it cannot be guaranteed that there will always be that person with charisma to lead the states all the time. This was most obvious in the Peloponnesian War when Pericles died the moral absolute lost its beheading power, so it turned into chaos and oligarchies, and finally led to tyranny, eventually, the fallen of the Athens. Different from the potential moral absolute Athenian democracy is leading, Federal Hall established a different but same “form” by using branches and bureaucracies. Therefore, it separates different branches, which has a central government culminating national power, the armed forces and the supreme court to hold each others’ power from going far way beyond, and eventually, the president serves a representative figure of what the government resembles. It could be said that constitutionalizing America shaped democracy in a way which it would not be uphold to tyranny. Nowadays some scholars think America is moving from constitutional democracy to democratic constitution, such as Croly, who derived the conclusion that America is going to a necessary sequence of a democratic constitution, where the government is more centralized in its industry, society, etc. (Croly, Chapter 9, 338). However, America is still a democratic country because of its separation of power, and just because of its centralized action, both government and people would strengthen their responsibility.
Then it is possible to bring out the conclusion that the Athenian democracy, especially Periclean democracy, carried out by different results, is shaped into different political systems. Known from rising from revolution, the American government believes that democracy is rooted in the revolution. But they know democracy shall be suppressed by the constitution, so they separated power to uphold the potential tyranny that could be caused by moral absolute. Athens, on the other hand, established democracy in a relatively peaceful way but ignored the fact that it has the potential of turning to tyranny, which is the least what the American government is looking for. So one could say based on their shared architecture style, both Parthenon and Federal Hall represents democracy, but the difference is, the Athenian democracy was not necessarily served in building the Parthenon, non in building the Federal Hall.

Siblings Monica and Jerome Johnson grew up admiring each other’s talents as ballet dancers, and now they are teaching their students to appreciate all styles of dance at Monica & Jerome International Dance Experience, based in Winston-Salem.
“We instill in our kids that even if you don’t want to dance professionally, at least you’ll have the appreciation of the arts and be able to go to plays and support artists,” Monica Johnson said. “All of our students are now somehow tied to the arts.”
The school is a family business. Monica Johnson is owner and director of MJIDE, and her younger brother is the artistic director. The siblings’ mother, Evelyn Johnson, is executive operations manager.
Born to dance
Monica and Jerome are alumni of UNC School of the Arts.
Evelyn said she tried to cultivate the talent she saw in her children after they kept dancing at home and falling backwards for her to catch them.
“I’d be in the kitchen and they’d be dancing and kicking up their legs,” Evelyn said.
At age 3, every time music played Monica Johnson would dance.
That inspired her mother to inquire about getting her into UNCSA’s Preparatory Dance program.
When she and her brother attended UNCSA, they were the only African Americans in their ballet classes, said Monica Johnson, now 47.
They are proud of their accomplishments in ballet over the years.
“We were in a field where it’s rare that you see an African American go that far in ballet,” Monica said.
She has performed with the Ballethnic Dance Co. in Atlanta and participated in competitions such as the National ACT-SO, an NAACP youth achievement program. She has also performed as a freelance dancer.
In 2001, she opened Just 4 Kicks Studio of Dance. Then in 2007, she moved to Washington, D.C., where she taught dance through 2015, first at the Washington Ballet, than at the Duke Ellington School of the Arts.
While in Washington, she changed Just 4 Kicks’ name to Monica Johnson Institute of Dance. In 2013 it became Monica & Jerome International Dance Experience.
Currently, she is a performer and choreographer for the North Carolina Black Repertory Company and was Mary in its “Black Nativity” for many years.
Originally, Jerome Johnson was into singing and acting but got hooked on dancing when he was 8 after watching his sister in ballet performances. While at UNCSA, he was also taking classes in the School of American Ballet in New York during the summer.
He said UNCSA sent him to three competitions, including Prix de Lausanne, an international competition for young dancers in Lausanne, Switzerland.
Now, at 36, he is a former New York City Ballet dancer and a winner of the Princess Grace Award named after film actress Grace Kelly.
He also danced with HNK Split Ballet in Croatia.
“Dance has made me an accomplished world traveler,” Jerome said.
He has taught at the Duke Ellington School of the Arts, Howard University and the Washington Ballet.
“As far as Jerome, he has always been an integral and inspirational part of MJIDE,” Monica said.
The brother and sister duo still perform and do plays and other projects on their own outside of their school.
Like a lot of artists, they are on pause now because of COVID-19.
Monica misses all the people, being face-to-face and the interaction in a classroom setting.
In 2016, the siblings focused on growing Monica & Jerome International Dance Experience in their hometown of Winston-Salem. MJIDE has about 80 students, the majority of which are from the Triad. Ages range from 4 to adult.
The school is affiliated with the American Ballet Theatre through Monica Johnson’s certifications. It provides all styles of dance instruction including ballet, modern, jazz, tap and African.
MJIDE also offers musical theater, a barre class in its adult program, therapeutic movement for students with disabilities, as well as pointe work, the classical ballet technique.
“We are a professional dance school that has intense training from professional dancers,” Monica said. “But you don’t have to be professional to come to our school. We accept everybody.”
For now, MJIDE goes to various locations to hold classes — universities and other institutions of higher learning, churches, and for profit and nonprofit organizations.
In addition to the Johnsons, Ciara Loscombe, a recent UNCSA graduate, is an instructor, primarily in ballet and modern dance.
She said she has felt welcome at the school since day one.
“I saw that it wasn’t a normal dance school that I was used to, because it’s a big family,” Loscombe said. “Everyone was so encouraging.”
There are also 10 featured staff dance instructors who guest teach.
On May 2, MJIDE held its first online dance convention.
“It was exciting because we had folks from all over the world join us,” Monica said. “We had someone from Russia and Saudi Arabia, and all over the United States to join online to take classes.”
Jared Grimes, who plays the role of Adrian Shannon on the NBC series “Manifest,” was the instructor for a class on tap dancing.
The convention’s lineup of teachers also included some of the Johnsons’ former students who are now dancing professionally, including Brandon Gray, a dancer with Complexions Contemporary Ballet based in New York; and Jiamond Watson, a former apprentice dancer for BalletX in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
This summer, from mid-June to mid-August, MJIDE will offer Summer Dance Intensive 2020 for all levels.
Alexus Acree, a former student when the school was Just 4 Kicks, is now a buy-side investment consultant for Bloomberg L.P. living in New York.
Acree, who graduated from Howard University, said the discipline that dance provides has followed her into her schooling and work life.
“As I am currently in business and finance, it was inspiring to me to see a young African American woman in Winston-Salem owning her own business that was created from her passion, which is dancing, and I believe she also has a passion for developing young people.”
Chris Mack’s daughter, Christina, 9, has been in MJIDE’s program for 2.5 years.
“They run it at an elite level,” Mack said.
He likes being able to watch his daughter while she is learning.
“She is very interactive, and she never wants to leave,” he said. “It’s also helped her continue to improve in the classroom.”
The Johnsons are in the field of dance for the long haul.
“What’s rewarding is being able to have something that I’m really good at and be able to just keep doing it,” Jerome said.
Monica said most of her friends who no longer dance are amazed at what she and her brother are doing. She is passionate about all styles of dance and dancing to music, and loves the way it makes her feel.
“If it’s in you, you’re never going to stop,” she said. “I see myself 89 or 90 years old, and I’m still going to be dancing.”

- The Tri-State Fruit & Vegetable Safety Consortium seeks to address the issue of produce safety by applying the strengths of land grant institutions in the top three vegetable and fruit producer States, Texas, Florida, and California. The four goals of this consortium are:
- To conduct surveillance and epidemiological studies in the three States in order to determine the points during production and processing of specific fruits and vegetables where pathogens are or might be introduced and the effect that certain production, processing, and environmental factors may have on contamination;
- To characterize microbial survival, growth, and contamination mechanisms on specific commodities produced by each state, as well as in the environment, including microbial interactions within populations;
- To develop and test management and intervention strategies that may be applied during production and/or processing to eliminate or control pathogenic contamination in these products, including cost/benefit analyses to determine feasibility of implementation; and,
- To develop educational materials on food safety of fruits and vegetables for the following constituencies: university undergraduate and graduate food science students, fruit and vegetable producers and processors, and consumers A variety of delivery methods will be tested and developed, including extension publications, distance education modules, face-to-face workshops, traditional classroom courses, and technology transfer symposia.
- More information
- NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARY: In the past few years, there has been an increase in the frequency of cases of food borne illness attributed to consumption of raw fruits and vegetables. This project will apply the strengths of institutions in the top three producer states, Texas, Florida, and California, to determine the points during production and processing that impact contamination of fresh produce, study the ability of bacteria to survive and grow in specific commodities, develop and test strategies for decontamination at the farm and packing shed levels, and develop educational materials for producers, processors, consumers, and university students using a variety of delivery systems. The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors that affect contamination of fresh produce with bacteria that cause human disease, and develop strategies to prevent it.
APPROACH: Product to be sampled in each state will be as follows: Texas: watermelon, oranges, parsley, and broccoli; Florida: watermelon, oranges, tomatoes, and strawberries; and California: watermelon, oranges, parsley, broccoli, tomatoes, and strawberries. Fifty individual samples of each product will be obtained at the following points (1) just prior to the final irrigation, (2) after final irrigation, (3) immediately after harvest (before washing and packing), and (4) after washing (depeding on the commodity). Product will be evaluated for the presence of E. coli biotype 1, salmonellae, and shigellae. Sponge-samples will be obtained of surfaces that come in contact with product, both in the field and in the packing sheds. In addition, water samples will be obtained and tested. Typing of each pathogen isolate will be carried out by Pulse-field Gel Electrophoresis (PFGE). Products will be punctured (to simulate bruising) as well as sliced, in order to determine the rate of migration of the pathogens to the interior of the product under these conditions. Other parameters that will be varied will be the relative humidity of the environment where the product is stored, as well as elapsed time between inoculation, puncturing/slicing, and migration to the interior of the product. Strength of attachment to product surfaces will be measured. The microbial ecology of each commodity will be identified, as well as that of the production/processing environments. Using the bacterial distribution data, we will determine whether a correlation exists between the presence of specific pathogens with that of other microorganisms in the same environment. We will test the predictability of such relational incidences by conducting sporadic sampling of the same environments, and also to determine whether changes in microbial populations occur with time, and/or in response to changes in the environment. The efficacy of various disinfectant and sanitation treatment combinations for reducing microbial contaminants on each of the products at the packing shed will be evaluated. The strategies tested will be evaluated for their effect on sensory quality and shelf-life of each product. Detailed production and marketing data will be collected from the farms sampled, as well as from produce associations in each of the three states. Factors to be considered will include, but not be limited to, seedling source, crop density, frequency and duration of irrigation, and picking and packing costs (labor, materials, and distribution aspects). A basic message/model of education related to the project findings and application to various audiences will be developed with core elements of importance. These core elements will be those appropriate for instruction for the intended groups: i.e. classroom students, the industry and the consumer. They will serve as the base model for development of traditional classroom education modules, distance education modules, training modules for the industry (including train-the-trainer models), and consumer education pieces and media messages.
PROGRESS: 2000/09 TO 2005/08
The focus of activities during the final phase of this project was directed to the education and outreach activities related to fruit and vegetable safety. Additionally, laboratory-based research was performed to address the project objectives related to the decontamination of the selected commodities and in better understanding the ecology of selected pathogens on specific fruits and vegetables.To teach consumers about safe handling of fresh produce, a one hour educational program entitled A Healthy Harvest: Safe Handling of Fresh Fruits and Vegetables was developed. The program involved hands-on activities and focused on four concepts relating to fresh produce safety: selecting and purchasing produce, proper storage, proper methods to wash fresh fruits and vegetables, and safe methods to serve them. The target audience for the program was consumers responsible for food preparation in their home. The specific goals of the program included the following: 1) To increase awareness among consumers about the risks of foodborne disease, 2) To promote safe handling of fresh fruits and vegetables at the grocery store or market, 3) To promote safe storage of fresh fruits and vegetables at home, 4) To promote adequate washing of fresh fruits and vegetables, 5)To promote safe handling when serving fresh fruits and vegetables. The program was delivered to consumer audiences by Family and Consumer Sciences Extension Agents. Agents presented the program to participants at forums such as local Farmer Markets and grocery stores. Other programs were delivered to captive consumer audiences in their counties. An educational game and tri-fold display for the project were also created to strengthen programming efforts. Additionally, the program was used as a train-the-trainer tool to teach paraprofessional nutrition education staff about this food safety topic. To evaluate the program, retrospective pre-tests and post-tests were given to participants at assess knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors related to fresh produce safety. Additionally, a follow-up telephone survey was conducted among a random sample of project participants to assess long-term impact of the program. In addition to the one-hour educational program, a series of consumer publications about fresh produce safety were written and peer-reviewed. These fact sheets were translated into Spanish and placed on the project website at: http://fruitandvegetablesafety.tamu.edu. This website served as another resource for consumers searching for information on this food safety topic. Specific fact sheets included on the website were 1) Safe Handling of Fresh Fruits and Vegetables, 2) Selecting Fresh Fruits and Vegetables, and 3) Safe Storage of Fresh Fruits and Vegetables, 4)Washing Fresh Fruits and Vegetables
IMPACT: 2000/09 TO 2005/08
The laboratory based research has provided new information about the differences in the levels of on-field and packing house microbial contamination in the 3 different states. Additionally, the project has provided new information about the ecology of pahtogens on the surfaces of fruits and vegetables and new information on how fruits and vegetables can get contaminated at the field and within packing sheds

"Confident, confident," Jabrill Peppers said, to himself or to the air or maybe to the entire Superdome. He was twitching, waiting for the coin toss to determine possession in his New York Giants' overtime against the New Orleans Saints, and when the coin came up heads, he couldn't contain himself.
"BOOM! We want that motherf—r!" Peppers shouted, pulling an imaginary ball into his gut.
"Looks like you've got to kick it," the official said to the Saints' Malcolm Jenkins. The Saints did, and never saw the ball again. Ten plays and 75 yards later, Saquon Barkley rumbled into the end zone, and the Giants captured their first win of the season, 27-21.
— Logan Ryan (@RealLoganRyan) October 3, 2021
A few hundred miles to the northeast, in roughly the same witching-hour window, the Jets survived their own overtime, watching Tennessee's Randy Bullock push a 49-yard field goal attempt wide left to win their first game of the year, 27-24.
“I am,” Wilson replied, smiling. “It's an interesting fun, though.”
Sure, both teams were celebrating like they won the Super Bowl. Or at least reached the playoffs. But cut them a little slack; victory isn't seen around New York all that often these days.
"We needed a win," said Giants quarterback Daniel Jones, "and there was a high sense of urgency." He was speaking of his own team, but he easily could have been speaking of his MetLife Stadium roommates, too.
Thing is, Two overtime wins in an afternoon is a mild oddity. Two overtime wins by both New York teams? That's never happened before in NFL history.
In fact, the two New York teams have been so hideously awful that the last time they both won on the same Sunday was nearly two years ago — December 22, 2019 to be exact. It's been a tough run for both teams — this isn't exactly breaking news to anyone over the age of six days — but wins over two putative playoff teams in New Orleans and Tennessee have to help with the self-image.
There's work to do. Lots and lots of work to do. The Jets and Giants entered the day tied for the worst record in the NFL since the start of 2017 at 18-49. Two wins later, and they're still the worst in the NFL, behind (ahead of?) the Jaguars at 22-46. But a win is a win, no matter how it's achieved.
It's not going to get any easier for either team. The Giants go to Dallas, then face the Rams and Carolina at home, then travel to Kansas City. The Jets travel to London to face Atlanta, then after an off week, visit New England and then face Cincinnati. Another two-win day for the Big Apple might be a while in coming. But at least there was Sunday — which also included a dramatic Yankee win to clinch a postseason bid — to bring back a few memories of the good ol' days.

Awesome Authors to Spin Stories at Barry Library
13 July 2016
CBBC’s ‘Awesome Authors’ event is coming to Barry Library this July, giving local Vale children the chance to take part in a creative weekend full of reading and storytelling.
Produced by BBC Learning, the event takes place at Barry Library over the weekend of Saturday 16 and Sunday 17 July, with the aim of getting more children excited about reading, creative writing and storytelling.
CBBC Presenter Chris Johnson is hosting the event, and will be joined by authors Elen Caldecott and Dan Anthony, and illustrator Huw Aaron for the Saturday, and then by Mike Church, Anni Llyn, and Cathy Farr (and her dog, Mojo) on Sunday.
Elen Caldecott (The Marsh Road Mysteries) will lead a storytelling session, with lots of opportunities for the audience to join in and create their own plot twists, whilst Mike Church (A Wee Bit of Trouble) will talk about the pleasures of reading for fun.Children can also go along to learn how to create an eye-catching sports headline, or learn more about illustration as they practise drawing a ‘selfie-portrait’. Fans of the fantasy series Wolfblood will be able to practice their storytelling skills and create their own scenes for the drama.
The children’s library will transform into a CBeebies Zone for the weekend, with library staff delivering some of its regular pre-school activities, such as Rhyme and Sign and Storytime. The library will also host a Danger Mouse Detective Trail, where children can help Danger Mouse stop the dastardly Baron Greenback from destroying the world’s – including Barry Library’s – supply of books. With visitors also able to get a list of book recommendations based on all the things they like – thanks to the Summer Reading Challenge who are on hand with their ‘Book Sorter’ – it is vital that Baron Greenback is thwarted!
In the Art gallery, there will also be activities including Art Ninja, Silk painting and puppet making. King Square will be turned into a play zone by the play department, with giant connect four and other games to entertain all members of the family. There will also be activities in the park with ‘Match the Headlines’ activities and footballing skills with help from PG10.
CBBC Live’s main event takes place in Birmingham this year; a link to the main event from Barry Library will allow visitors to see more author Q&As from Birmingham Library. Over the weekend, Katie Thistleton will be live on air in CBBC HQ, linking to each of the Awesome Author events.
All events will be free and take place between 10:00am and 5.00pm each day; Barry Library will be open to all members of the public on both days between these times.
Cllr Lis Burnett, Cabinet Member for Regeneration and Education, said: “We are thrilled that CBBC’s Awesome Authors have chosen Barry Library to be a part of this national event. This will be a wonderful opportunity for children to meet some of their favourite local authors and take part in lots of fun and exciting activities”
“We would like to thank Barry Town Council, Literature Wales and the Welsh Government, for helping to fund this exciting event.”
For more information on the event, and for further details of other library events across the Vale of Glamorgan, visit the libraries’ events page.

Concert preview: Newborn Dayton trio Moira engages in dreamy synth-pop
Little is known about this newborn Dayton crew, aside from the fact that no one in the band is actually named Moira (the trio is actually comprised of Alicia Grodecki - formerly of synth-pop quartet Vanity Theft - Patrick Hague and Aaron Hardy). The music tab on its official site still reads "coming soon," and the "About" section on its Facebook site consists of little more than the names of the band members and an email address. Even so, a handful of posted video snippets colored in dreamy synths suggest this is one Columbus debut worth scoping out. "I know you're not coming home, " Grodecki sings in one teaser, the cool sentiments in her words running counter to the warm, enveloping musical backdrop.
GIMME and the Florals also perform.

Five stars I can't get the Facebook level to work...:( very nice game almost the same as the original. I miss the original music and the original mini game is better. I like the shop be good if you could make the map bigger and add a new faction Ai player, bring the natives and Mexicans into the game make them more involved. I like the original battle fields, I think if you made the maps bigger added more ai factions (the natives and Mexicans) I would buy this game.
Actually pretty nice I've got the LG G2, and this game runs awesome. I've only got the free version. I didn't need to run down a train to win and as far as I can tell the controls are really accurate. I did arcade style fighting where it's go go go instead of turn based but it definitely runs fairly accurate to the old NES version I grew up playing :-)
This game is harder than the original Some games should not be apps for mobile devices. This game is harder than the original and quite frankly there's too much going on during battles to keep track of anything. I'm trying very hard to keep giving this my all but when I can't even beat a single game there's something wrong. At least when I played the original, WHEN I WAS SEVEN, I could beat games I played.
Honestly. People talk about misspelled words but their own reviews have typos too. They gripe about the North being called Yankees instead of the Union. Truth is, this game is going in as far into history as possible. The North, yes a name they have is Yankee. Such as the Confederates being Rebels. But i also see people shooting bad reviews because this game actually has the Confederate flag. Thats a sign people dont know their history and seriously needs to rethink their knowledge. Im a proud Confederate flyer and ill take it to my grave.
Wow This game could have been made better by a blind geriatric monkey without hands. Pathetically engineered -This game contains misspelled words, historical inaccuracies, poor game functionality and mechanics, and disrespectfully calls the Union "the yankees", and never actually refers to them as the Union. Not to mentiom the game crashes. What a pathetic piece of trash. 0 / 100, would not recommend to anyone. Total waste of time. Don't waste a moment of your life on this piece of trash.
Nice Free Game By the looks of these reviews, you all dont get it. The free version works fine, its purposely meant to make you the yankees regardless who u pick. Its purposely meant to be a stronger south against you to get you to buy the full version. Its not impossible to win in the free version, just put all of your troops together in one state and you will last for awhile against the south. Come on, be a little smarter than the average bear.
A WW2 MMO PvP game where you command troops and battle with players worldwide!

Tiemsday, 10th Rainfall 1345 AF
Back in Stormcliff, the party did not know if the necromancer was still in the city as Mialee's magic had faded by now. They set out to investigate anyway, in the hope that his wounds kept him from leaving. The party's inital efforts were focussed on Regent Rock, the noble district of Stormcliff. Using Winter's and Mialee's noble heritage and Yoralia's and Draenir's illicit expertise, the party forged a document which was sure to get them onto Regent Rock. However, their plans were foiled by a very keen eyed guard.
While wandering the markets after their initial setback, they picked up a few stories of what had happened while they were gone. Two things caught their interest: A commotion in the Compendium Arcanum guild hall, and a further citizen disappearing in the harbor at night.
Hildo Growes, a contact Draenir had before coming to Stormcliff could corroborate these events. He added though, that while the Compendium claimed the commotion to have been a mishap of an arcane experiment, he did not believe them. According to his sources there was a man running out of the guild hall during the night, shortly after the commotion.
Yoralia and Mialee could later confirm that story while talking to Mesim, inside the public library of the Compendium Arcanum guild hall. All the while, Draenir was keeping watch outside the guild hall for any suspicious activity.
Winter befriended a dockworker, named Khori in a local tavern, getting some more information about the disappearance in the harbor and about an elderly couple, who had recently taken a wounded Elf into their care.
Draenir noticed an Elf coming from the harbor district, looking a bit out of place among the more sturdy dockworkers that usually pass by. He decided to keep an eye on the Elf and started to tail him through the city to the house of an elderly couple.
After the party joined up again and exchanging information they decided to take a closer look at the Elf. Their plan was for Winter and Mialee to disguise themselves to avoid being recognised and approach the house, while Draenir and Yoralia were to hide next to the window and be ready in case anything went wrong. And something did go wrong. While walking to the door to open for Winter, the elf spotted Draenir through the window, recognized him and immediately bolted for a side room. At least, the party were now quite confident that th elf was in fact the necromancer they were seeking.
Yoralia took the initiative and immediately teleported into the room after the Elf, only to see he had taken the old lady as a hostage and held a dagger to her throat. Magical runes were glowing across her forehead. The party, not in the mood to negotiate, attacked. The necromancer, however, was ready and slit the lady's throat. An explosion of arcane energy blew the house to pieces. Rather than crashing into adjacent houses, the flying debris was held aloft in mid air by a magical force, and where once stood the old lady there was now a red swirling portal. It did not take long for demons to start coming through the portal. One of them grabbed the necromancer and threw him into the portal. After a hard fought battle the party managed to defeat the demons and close the portal.
Fensday, 11th Rainfall 1345 AF
The following day, the party met with Gorun and Melron, the Arcanist of the local Compendium Arcanum guild hall. Their initial reaction was one of shock and surprise as Melron looked exactly like the necromancer they fought. It was then revealed that the necromancer was in fact Melron's twin brother Ardion. Ardion had once been a member of the Compendium Arcanum, but was thrown out due to dabbling in forbidden magics. Melron assured the party that Ardion was mostly likely dead, as he would not survive for very long on the home plane of those demons.
Gorun and Melron thanked the party for their efforts in dealing with Ardion and promised that further work for the city would be quite lucrative. After some negotiating the party and Gorun came to terms, putting the party now into the city's employ. In a private conversation between Yoralia and Melron, Yoralia's application to become a member of the Compendium Arcanum was accepted.
While the party went after the necromancer the city guard did not stand idly by. Gorun had sent a troop to go after the Dragonband bandits. Unfortunately their excursion was not such a resounding success. While they managed to defeat most of the bandits, a lot of guards lost their lives in the process and Anzin, the leader of the bandits, managed to escape. From talking to Stane, one of the surviving guardsmen, the party learned that Anzin was wielding a flaming warhammer, and that there was a mage amongst the bandits.

Brand loyalty can get quite extreme when it comes to our mobile devices. Those of us that start with Apple devices and iOS systems quite often continue with them. There are enough incentives and upgrades to follow the evolution of the iPhone – even if some people may question the extent of that evolution and the true benefits of the products. Those that don’t use an iPhone may struggle to see the difference between the models.
There is no better example of this than the iPhone X and its descendants: the XR, XS and XS Max. The X is no longer with us – discontinued as users are passed onto these bigger, better options. At least that is what we are led to believe when getting an XS or XS Max smartphone. Everything about these phones should be better, and this includes the camera. So, is the Apple iPhone XS camera any better than its predecessor? Also, is it worth upgrading to the Apple iPhone XS Max camera instead?
The basic specification for these two cameras is actually quite similar.
It is easy to get confused when figuring out which is the best option. A common question for consumers is whether to get the XS or the larger XS Max. When it comes to choosing a product based on the camera specifications and capabilities, there isn’t that much between the XS and XS Max. The basic specs of both these cameras have a lot in common. There is a dual 12mp camera on the back and a 7mp camera on the front. The primary rear camera offers optical image stabilization, quad-OLED true tone flash, and portrait lighting. The secondary camera is a telephoto lens with a 2x optical zoom.
Both versions of this iPhone make good use of the front-facing camera and the Face ID system.
The front-facing camera on the iPhone – of any model – is arguably just as important as the rear camera. This is where we get to take plenty of quick selfies and enjoy Facetime with the ones with love. We want to look our best and the image capture on this new lens really is great. The Face ID system on this camera is important because this is such a key part of the security system on this phone. There isn’t fingerprint ID here. This isn’t a new feature for the X series. Yet, the small upgrade to the processor means that it is a little faster when it comes to recognising you.
There is some smart software in the iPhone XS.
There isn’t that much about the hardware of this smartphone camera that stands out right away. But, there are some elements to the software that keen iPhone photographers will appreciate. Some of the changes in this model are quite subtle. There are small changes to the sensor and the depth of the pixels that allow for better low-light capabilities. Here the effect is noticeable when comparing these images to those from previous iPhones. The Smart HDR and the blurring of the portraits are other great examples of features that can help iPhone users improve their photography.
The Apple iPhone XS camera system now takes multiple shots at once to create an attractive final image. It does so at different exposures and picks out the elements that work the best in each image. It does this so quickly that users are unaware that it is happening. There is no waiting time, no playing around with settings and no fuss. This is nothing that revolutionary these days. Still, Apple’s cameras never used to be able to do this and now handle the function pretty well.
The Bokeh Blur
Bokeh is something that many modern smartphone camera developers have embraced recently. This feature allows users to add a blur to portrait shots. You can focus in on the subject and take the eye away from the figures and features in the background. In other words. You can give people the impression of a fun day at the beach without sharp detail on the people sunbathing in far too few clothes. The manual slider gives users the freedom of control over the amount of blurring so you can be as subtle or dramatic as you want.
It is important to clarify, this is a digitally enhanced bokeh. The problem here is that the system doesn’t always offer a perfect, distinct line between the subject and the background. In some cases, you can start to see some blurring in the body and clothing as the phone focuses on the face. This cheapens the look of the image.
Of course, one of the other reasons that people turn to iPhones is the range of apps in the app store. This means that those that want to enhance their photography – or just the look of their photos – can browse lots of different programmes. You might say that this range and availability can make up for any shortcomings in the built-in camera and phone’s software. But, is this enough any more when so many smartphone cameras act like “real” digital cameras and don’t need to rely on apps? It all depends on what you want to get out of this Apple iPhone XS smartphone camera. Are you in it for the art and act of the photography or the impact of the finished image?
The Apple iPhone XS camera clearly has potential for the right user. But, is it better to get the XS Max version instead?
As we mentioned above, the basic specifications on this Apple iPhone XS Max camera aren’t all that different from the smaller XS. You aren’t going to get a wider zoom, more megapixels or any extra capabilities on that front-facing camera. However, there are some possible upsides to choosing this larger model. These include the size of the screen and the battery life.
One reason that keen photographers might want to switch to the iPhone XS Max is the difference in the display. This larger model has a 6.5 inch OLED display instead of the 5.8 inch option. This means a screen to body ratio of 84.4% rather than 82.9%. This doesn’t sound like a lot on paper, but it means more room to show off your photos in greater detail. Also, it is worth pointing out that you get that notch in the screen either way. Basically, if you buy Apple, expect the notch.
The Battery Life
Then there is the battery life. The iPhone XS has a 2,658 mAh battery while the iPhone XS Max has a 3,174 mAh battery. There are claims that the XS Max will last an hour longer than the XS, which itself can last 30 minutes longer than the original iPhone X. This is essential when planning a long day of photography. If you are on vacation or a day trip to the city, that means you don’t have to be so careful about how many shots you take.
Are these added benefits worth it for the extra cost and weight of the device?
We can’t overlook the fact that you will also be paying more for the privilege of this larger phone. These iPhones are some of the most expensive smartphone products around. It seems that Apple clings onto that idea of brand loyalty and know that they can get away with these prices. An extra hour of battery life and that larger display means a significant difference in the price tag. If you are buying this with the camera as a priority, it might not be worth the extra cost after all.
There is also the fact that some users can’t get along with the size and weight of this extra-large model. There is a point of diminishing returns with smartphones where they have become too big and heavy. We wanted larger screens and widescreen displays until we realized that this meant a more cumbersome item. Smaller iPhones are more comfortable in our hands and pockets. There are probably actual digital cameras that have smaller dimensions than the iPhone XS Max now. The iPhone XS weighs 6.2 ounces and the XS max 7.3 ounces. You can feel the difference with one in each hand.
How Much Has Really Changed Since The iPhone X?
This is where we talk about the elephant in the room. We could focus on the great photos taken with this new software and the way that they look on the large XS max display. However, we can’t ignore the fact that the upgrades from the discontinued iPhone X are minimal.
Let’s summarise some of those benefits of this new phone camera and the positive upgrades. The Apple iPhone XS camera is more reliable when taking great images with the right exposure. There is also a slightly better processor with the A12 Bionic chip instead of the A11. This can all lead to sharper, brighter images that capture group shots and spontaneous moments with greater ease. Casual users might not notice the difference. Keen photographers will. You can also spend much longer taking photographs with the improved battery. Some Apple users have complained that an extra half an hour isn’t nearly good enough for an updated model. Still, this can make a big difference. Finally, there is the fact that the XS and XS Max has the new option of 512GB storage for all those files.
The Negative Similarities
With that said, there are still lots of similarities. The display is the same size with the same resolution. While it is true that a 5.8 inch screen does feel like the optimal size, there is no improvement in the way that you can show off your photographs. There are the same amount of lenses on each side and the same number of pixels. Some casual photographers may not mind but those browsing models will note that competitors now use multiple lenses for improved functionality.
There are improvements here – but Apple still lags behind the major competition.
It is easy to get caught up in this idea that Apple has outdone themselves with the specification of this iPhone camera compared to previous options. Some users will be more impressed with chances than others. The combination of the software, dual-lens and display size are all a big help.
However, we also have to look at the appeal of the XS and XS Max cameras against other brands. There are two factors that stand out here. First of all, there is that true tone flash. This feature may work well, but it is not the optimal approach to handling low light any more. Other brands have since developed their low light technology for a much better experience without the need for a flash. You don’t have to blind friends and family and night and risk red-eye. You don’t have to face the tuts and frowns of other people at gallery openings as your phone’s flash goes off. Critics are impressed with the improvements of the low-light capabilities based on previous models. But compare images with the Huawei P30 Pro or Google Pixel 3 and there is a clear difference.
The Apple iPhone XS camera is a small step in the right direction.
The improvements between this camera and the one on the original iPhone X are there, but they aren’t enough for keen photographers. It is clear that the camera is something of an afterthought for Apple when compared to its competitors. Other brands have gone back to the drawing board to create something new and impressive. Some of these recent smartphone cameras rival point-and-shoot devices. Apple gives the impression of doing the bare minimum to provide an upgrade as the next deadline approached.
There are hopes that Apple can learn from its mistakes here and do better with the next model in the series. It is now too obvious that it is lagging behind and needs to rethink its approach – or at least borrow ideas and tech from Google. This isn’t to say that the Apple iPhone XS camera is bad. It does a great job and will please many regular iPhone users. It is just lacking the wow factor. Brand loyal Apple users may not mind or even notice right now. But, Apple can’t assume that this will happen forever.
