If you fine folks have followed along, you know I received a Festivus miracle last week when the Tennessee Titans defense scored 18 points (thank you, Mark Sanchez) to secure the win against Matt “Money” Smith. I ultimately fell short in that league (more on those circumstances in a moment). I went 2-2 on Championship Weekend, as I again took out “Money” in our NFL.com Experts League. So I’m stuck in kind of limbo, fantasy purgatory similar to the finale of “Lost.” But two championships is pretty cool. And to fight off my NFL Fantasy Live peers for the second time in three seasons is pretty cool, too. Moving on, it should be noted so many fantasy football championships were […]

When it comes to fashion, our NFL stars might not go all out like their NBA counterparts. If the September issue of GQ is any indication, however, we are going to see more style off the field this season. Here’s the best fashion from Week 1:

Maurice Jones-Drew stuck up for running backs, saying that they are still a dominant fantasy commodity. But, as Marcas Grant writes, things aren’t what they used to be with fantasy RB values.

Why Is My Full-Frame Worse Than My APS-C MTF50 Measurement?
It might seem shocking at first to see that your full-frame camera can have poorer lens resolution scores than the cheapo APS-C sensor. Here’s what is probably going on.
Your small-frame sensor probably has smaller pixels than that full-frame camera does. Smaller pixels means more pixels per millimeter on the sensor, and hence more lines per millimeter, too.
Here’s a specific example. Let’s compare the D7100 to the D610. Both cameras are roughly 24MP, so you’d think that they would score about the same.
4000 X 6000 pixels, and has dimensions of 3.92 microns for each pixel. The D7100 sensor itself is 15.6 mm X 23.6 mm.
4016 X 6016 pixels, with 5.95 micron pixels and is 24.0 mm X 35.9mm.
Let’s look at some resolution measurements, using the same lens at the same f/stop. Here, I’m using the Sigma 150-600 at 600mm, f/6.3.
D7100 with Sigma 150-600 at 600mm f/6.3 tops out at MTF50 of 40 lp/mm
D610 with Sigma 150-600 at 600mm f/6.3 tops out at MTF50 of 34 lp/mm
Did I get ripped off?? Why is the resolution so much worse with the D610 compared to the D7100? The secret lies in the pixels. There are less pixels per millimeter in the D610, and therefore less MTF50 lp/mm resolution.
But there are more millimeters in the D610 sensor! The key measurement of interest here is in line pairs per picture height (lp/ph).
The math: lp/ph = lp/mm * mm_of_height
The D7100 sensor height is 15.6 mm. The D610 sensor height is 24.0 mm.
For the above measurements, the D7100 measures 40 lp/mm * 15.6 mm = 624 lp/ph
The D610 measures 34 lp/mm * 24.0 = 816 lp/ph.
So, the D610 wins after all. It has a ‘score’ of 816 and the D7100 has a ‘score’ of 624. More total lines of resolution in the photo for the D610.
But wait, there's more:
D610 pixel area = 35.4 square microns
D7100 pixel area = 15.4 square microns
This means that the D610 pixels can drink up more than twice the light per pixel, which makes for vastly superior low-light and high-ISO abilities.
You can also achieve narrower depth of focus with the full-frame sensor, so you have more options photographically.
Feel better now?

Dubai Property Show is to return to Shanghai later this month following the success of the show in China last year.
The show, which also attracted a "phenomenal response" in Mumbai and London, will be held at the Shanghai Everbright Convention & Exhibition Centre from August 31 to September 2.
Dubai Land Department (DLD) and Sumansa Exhibitions will collaborate on the event which will be attended by major real estate developers to promote Dubai as a property investment destination to Chinese investors.
According to DLD, Chinese investors pumped in up to AED14.3 billion ($3.9 nillion) into the Dubai property market and are among the top 10 investors. These property transactions are also projected to increase thanks to Chinese nationals being granted their visas on arrival to Dubai.
Majida Ali Rashed, assistant director general, head of the Real Estate Investment Management and Promotion Centre said: “We are delighted to collaborate with Sumansa Exhibitions again after the success of last year’s Dubai Property Show in Shanghai.
"Dubai is the one of the most attractive cities for foreign investors and DLD is always looking for ways to further strengthen the emirate’s position in achieving the sustainable growth of its real estate sector. China is one of the most prominent foreign investors in Dubai and we are proud to be oraginsing this prestigious show again this year, and look forward to doing so for many more years to come.”
Dubai Property show will bring together developers from Dubai and the UAE through hundreds of projects that will be on display, including thousands of properties to choose from, ranging from apartments to row houses, and from villas to commercial properties.

From Sir Howard Elston, our noted media commentator.
I have been asked to contribute a background report on why BBC journalists have gone on strike today and allowed the radio and tv to be dominated by inexhaustible coverage (known as fodder in the trade)) of Brazilian politics, a never ending piece on the Pope’s early Nazi career and baseball scores from Mexico.
This is because of a strike by journalists. BBC bosses are waking up the 21 st c and sacking people who are mid career, have mortgages, a baby or two and still don’t have enough cash to buy a Mondeo.
Execs deep within Broadcasting House have taken the initiative and are cutting back. They have taken this decision because they somehow missed sacking Jimmy Savile when he used BBC property for 40 years as a sexual playground with underage kids.
So, repeats are being vomited out to plug huge gaps in BBC news programming. The Corporation’s flagship morning TV show, BBC One’s Breakfast, was replaced by Bargain Hunt and Escape to the Country. It is reported that viewing figures rose immediately by 56%.
Our tv critic Nigel, a top drawer planner from Sunderland, explains: ‘I was brought up on Tyne Tees TV with stories about quacking ducks and working class kids who could do calculus at the age of 6.’
‘So the Beeb was never a part of our lives.’
‘But I am outraged that low paid journalists are being chucked out of jobs for life with the best pensions scheme in the island and with expense sheets that could fill a library.’
Today Sky Tv, owned by Lord Sir Rupert Murdoch, and The Daily Mail, which is run by a nasty littler creep, ran innumerable reports on the strike because they hate the BBC website because it is so good— and free (for now).

I was lucky to be able to go the International Quilt Market this past weekend. I’m home now. The babies are asleep, my husband listened (nicely) to my rundown, and even looked at my pictures. I put a ton of pictures on my flickr site; I used my sister’s camera and iphone since I didn’t have room to bring my dslr, so the pictures aren’t the best. But then, neither is convention lighting.
I went to Quilt Market the semi-annual industry trade show) in May in Salt Lake City, this time I was a bit more relaxed. I introduced myself to a lot of new people, but it was really nice to see so many familiar faces. I think meeting and talking with artists, designers, bloggers, authors, shop owners, etc. is almost as fun as seeing all of the new fabrics, booths, quilts, etc. I came home with a sketchbook filled with ideas and, ahem, a bit more fabric to start using, asap. I feel like I am a bit in design overload at this point. I guess I have a sick child to rock for a few days, so that will probably help bring me down from my quilt market high. I felt a bit obnoxious tweeting more than normal, but had fun doing it.
I have a few favorites (okay, who am I kidding, more than a few). Here are some of them:
Seven Islands (home to Nano Iro, Heather Ross, Etsuko Furuya, Melody Miller, etc.) always has a booth full of incredible pieces made from incredible fabric. I love Melody Miller’s new Ruby Star Shining… who doesn’t want a bag made from these clocks? I got to meet Melody, which was a treat. I have some of her strike offs… now what to make?
Anna Maria Horner‘s booth could be a post all of its own (and I could sit and talk to her assistant, Pierette, for hours). I plan to upload pictures from a camera soon. But here are two from my phone… the colors, the textures, it is incredible. A pintuck-voile quilt. A velveteen couch, and quilt. Crewel everything. Needlepoint canvasses. Voiles and flannels and embroidery. Ah. heaven
I loved Michael Miller’s idea boards–it makes me want to use Pinterest a bit more (never thought you would hear anyone say that, eh?) If you look really closely, you can see the quilt I made for Laura Gunn’s new line, Garden Windows. It spent most of it’s time folded up in a cart in Michael Miller’s booth. It was fun to walk by Michael Miller and see a lot of shop’s ordering Garden Wall, too.

Cosmos Productions will soon be starting some work with Cooked in Africa – a busy, exciting production company in Cape Town!
Jacqueline will be editing some episodes of a reality tv series called Moving Sushi, about a South African couple that head out on a 2 year, 42 country expedition across East and West Africa, Europe and Asia. Their mission was to go and discover people and projects from around the globe that were making a difference in marine conservation despite the desperate situation the marine world is in. It’s an exciting and important project as it puts the global condition of our oceans out there for everyone to see. And our oceans and the fish and marine life that live in it, are in a serious and vulnerable state, all over the world.
Its also a similar project to what Cosmos currently has in development about our trip to Madagascar a few years ago. While filming for Nosy Mena in 2009 we captured a lot of the journey and behind the scenes experience of our trip, which we are planning to make into a travel/cultural/environmental documentary. We discovered so much about ourselves and the issues threatening the biodiversity of Madagascar, that we feel there is a great story to be told there. Watch this space…
In the meantime, go check out more information on Moving Sushi here


Filter cartridge production equipment, it is used to produce filter cartridge, so this type machines are known as filter cartridge production equipment. Thus, now we mentioned the filter cartridge production equipment, and we need to know comprehensive about it, OK, study now.
1. For filter cartridge production equipment, whether it own long time use life or not?
Yes, it requests longer use life, and it’s one of all standards to measure the equipment with quality, so it must be requested. If the equipment with longer use life and used widely, then it will get better use effect, and to obtain good filter cartridge quality, great economic benefits.
2. If production scale is not too large when start to produce the filter cartridge, whether we need too many production equipment?
If just start to produce the filter cartridge with a small scale, then we don’t need too many equipment, just need a whole set equipment, add origami, plastic injection machine, sub-machine and spot welding machine to produce and manufacture the filter cartridge. The most important, it don’t need too much cost.
3. Whether the filter cartridge equipment price range too much or not? Moreover, whether all filter cartridge can be reuse or not?
For the price, it is range from thousands RMB to ten thousands RMB at present. For us, the detail price is confirmed according to the filter equipment size, material and filter requirements and so on.
Filter cartridge production equipment can be used to produce many different types filter cartridges. But not all filter cartridges can be reused, many of them can be used only once, it must be retired or replaced a new one when the use life end or reach can’t be used standard. It can not be clean to use again, because now this filter cartridge can’t content the filter requirements.

A total of four hunters, two for the first season, and two for the second season, will be chosen for these special hunts.
To qualify, the hunters must hold or obtain an accommodation permit from Colorado Parks and Wildlife. Hunters must have a permanent disability that significantly impairs major life functions and their ability to hunt, or have a physical impairment resulting from permanent medical conditions that make it impossible to hunt without someone else’s help.
Those eligible must first apply for and obtain a Game Management Unit 62 deer license for the first or second season through the regular license draw. The deadline to apply for limited licenses is April 7. The easiest way to apply is through the CPW website.
Disabled hunters who obtain a license can then receive a hunting application for the Ridgway State Park hunt. If more than four hunters apply there will be a drawing to make the selection.
To obtain an application for Ridgway, contact Andy Dean at email@example.com, or call the park at 970-626-5822.

Do you ever find yourself in pain with no adequate relief? You’re not alone. Chronic pain, defined as pain lasting longer than 3 months, is a significant socioeconomic and public health burden around the world. In fact, pain disorders are often experienced together with psychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders, such as major depressive disorder (MDD). Several other factors have been linked to chronic pain, including sleep quality, obesity, immunity, and conditions of the nervous system. Most recently, the results of a genome-wide association study (GWAS) indicate there may be some important genetic influences on an individual’s experience of multisite chronic pain.
Multisite chronic pain (MCP) is a condition in which chronic pain is experienced in multiple regions throughout the body. It is a complex trait with moderate heritability; however, the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. In an effort to better understand this condition, genetic researchers evaluated various potential genes involved through a GWAS conducted through data available in the UK Biobank. For this research, MCP was defined as the sum of body sites at which chronic pain (pain with at least 3 months duration) was recorded at 0 to 7 sites. Those who answered that they had chronic pain ‘all over the body’ were excluded as there is some evidence that this widespread pain can be substantially different from more localized chronic pain. They also assessed how the tested genetic variations were correlated with a range of other diseases and traits.
In total, researchers identified 76 significant SNPs associated with MCP across 39 risk loci. They found that chronic pain was associated with several genes involved in brain function and development. For example, one of the MCP-related SNPs, rs6478241, located near the Astrotactin 2 (ASTN2) gene, which is involved in glial-guided neuronal migration during the development of cortical mammalian brain regions. It is also reported that ASTN2 may be associated with migraines. Researchers also demonstrated that MDD could act as a causal mechanism the development of MCP through the use of Mendelian randomisation analyses.
One of the major limitations of this study was the self-reported data collected on MCP. Nevertheless, the results of this study are very robust because of the large study population, which allowed for sufficient power to detect the genetic variations associated with MCP. In this study, substantial genetic correlations with a range of psychiatric, personality, autoimmune, anthropometric and circadian traits were successfully identified.

Multicolor Candle Holders
This is a very delightfully tea lite candle holder with a very intricate colorful holy family nativity in the background surrounded by a joyful heart. I was thrilled with the piece. It is extremely delicate due to it ceramic nature. If purchase, please keep the delicate nature in mind. I cleaned an area and my piece got knocked over by accident onto my floor. It dropped to the floor from a two foot high ledge and broke. I miss it.

Pleasant View Christian School rolls out SOAR program
Students with learning challenges will now have access to a new program at Pleasant View Christian School.
School officials hope the Students Overcoming All Roadblocks, or SOAR program, will open doors to parents interested in sending their children to a private school in a Christian environment.
SOAR began as a pilot program in the 2017-18 academic year and will officially roll out in the 2018-19 school year.
“This program accommodates learners who need additional attention to complement their classroom efforts,” Pleasant View Christian School Administrator Rusty Campbell said in a news release issued Friday. “It is common for others to assume that unique needs cannot be addressed in a private school, but we are changing that.”
Campbell said last year, the school came across a few students and prospective students who could use a little extra help processing material in the classroom, and he banded with faculty member Gary Voorhees to do the “legwork” to get the program started.
Now, a coalition of teachers offer “extra support and unique curriculums” to accommodate students’ needs and modify course material as needed, the release states. A coordinator responsible for administering the program and designing the learning plan for each student with “documented challenges” was also hired this year, according to the release.
Voorhees explained that SOAR, which is available to students of all grade levels, offers a broad span of options to help students learn, including offering one-on-one tutoring in subjects such as reading and math.
“If parents have had a desire to see spiritual aspects of their children’s education included (in school), this is a new opportunity for them to look (into),” he said.
Currently, about 12 students participate in SOAR. According to the release, course offerings through SOAR give students the opportunities to step away from a larger classroom and “receive specialized instruction in key academic areas.”
Enrollment for the 2018-19 academic year is underway, and can remain open past the start of the year on Aug. 1, Campbell said; however, he noted, it would be more beneficial for parents wanting to enroll their students in SOAR to do so prior to the Aug. 1 start date.
Campbell and Voorhees, who noted that every student and academic need varies, hope to be able to discuss options with parents interested in enrolling their children in Pleasant View Christian School and the SOAR program.Kelly Fisher, reporter for the Ashland City Times, can be reached at KPFisher@gannett.com, 615-801-3866 or on Twitter at @KellyPFisher.

Mt Tom (4161m) is a relatively easy High Sierra mountain to climb located near
Via Pine CreekMt Tom is drained on the southeast by Horton Creek, on the west by Gable Creek and on the north by Pine Creek. The easiest route if you don't drive on dirt roads is the one from the Pine Creek pack station. Gable Creek has a trail from the Pine Creek stables (where Pine Creek Rd is closed). Make sure you take the correct trail: there are two trailheads here, and the one you want is the Gable Lakes trailhead (the other one goes to Pine Lake). From the parking lot look east (left of the stables, towards Mt Tom). The sign is barely marked on a tree. Needless to say, the biggest advantage of this route is that you have water till about 3000 meters, and some of the hike is in the shade. The first steep part of the trail heads south. Once the view of the parking lot disappears, the summit is already visible. In front of you is a steep canyon that comes down from the plateau of the mine. It is usually covered with snow and ice. Then the trail bends right (west) and coasts the creek gaining little elevation. It finally begins the switchbacks that take you to the lower Gable Lake. The outlet of this lake (100 meters upstream from the abandoned house) is narrow and usually passable without much trouble. The trail continues on the other side to an abandoned mine (from here you have a view of the upper lake as well). It then climbs to the other side of the hill to another lake. Coast the lake to the east (left). If you look carefully you will find an easy way to cross its outlet without getting wet. From here you are faced with the only dilemma of the hike. In front of you (south) is a crest that blocks your view. You can head for the left corner (southeast) and take any of the class-3 chutes up to the lowest point in the crest (the saddle), or you can head for the right corner and heard for the lowest point of all, which is the Four Gables Pass. Once at the pass, you have to follow the crest all the way to the east. From the crest you will see Mt Tom clearly. Either way, when you reach the saddle, descend into Hanging Valley. The road that comes up from Buttermilk is now very visible. Take the road and ascend to the upper mine (a lower mine is in the valley itself). There is usually snow and ice on the road near the mine (in the northern side) so you may have to leave the road and scramble up to the upper portion of the mine. You are now right under the summit. Climb the class-3 chute to the top.
Via Horton Lakes
The most popular route to Mt Tom is the southern route from the Horton Lakes trailhead, following the old mining road to the tungsten mines, but this entails driving on a dirt road for about one hour (see the directions in the right column).
The trailhead is at 2456 meters of elevation (coordinates 37.31223 & 118.62489).
The "trail" (it is obvious that it used to be a road) climbs a little ridge
and then (after crossing the creek on a bridge) turns left and ventures
inside the valley between Center Basin and Mt Tom.
It does not gain much elevation until the second lake. Then a series of
long switchbacks take you to the plateau called "Hanging Valley".
The road here is in excellent conditions. It basically makes a sharp U-turn
and proceeds towards the northern side of Mt Tom. In early season there is
likely to be snow in shady places. Here the road is not gaining elevation
at all. You will see two mines on the left (going inside the mountain on
the other side of Hanging Valley) and one on your right. Resist the temptation
to climb to this mine. The road dead ends at another mine. There is lots
of vintage equipment left. Climb above the mine and you'll find the use trail.
This very sandy use-trail is more useful downhill than uphill. Best for
climbing is the ridge to the left, which has long stretches of solid rock.
Unfortunately you are climbing in the wrong direction. As you look up, you
see a lot of peaks. It is virtually impossible to aim for the right one
unless you are very familiar with the mountain. When the ridge ends, you want
to move two chutes to the left. There is a very visible monolith that is
a good reference point: that is the chute that goes straight to the real
A more direct but also more adventurous way to get to the top is to climb towards the east ridge. When you reach the bridge, the road makes a sharp left. Instead of making that left, go straight for a few minutes and you will hit another road (visible from the bridge). This road starts climbing much sooner and eventually reaches a high-elevation mine. The road continues west (and then dead ends in the middle of nowhere). From the mine, instead, head straight up. You have already gained quite a bit of elevation and you gain more rapidly. On your left you will start seeing the chutes full of sand and scree that come down from Mt Tom. Getting here is relatively fast and easy, but the ending requires climbing skills.
Directions to Pine Creek trailhead:
Take the turnout to Rovana off hwy 395 bout 14kms north of Bishop. The road goes through the tiny town of Rovana and then continues. Just before the dead end there on your left if the Pine Creek packing station. You can park and camp in the large parking lot. Another popular place to camp is a bit down the road. From the Rovana turnoff count 12 kms or (if you still use the silly imperial system) 7.3 miles. Just before a group of tall trees the main road is intersected by another road. Turn left (fully paved) and you'll find a number of good parking spaces by the creek.
Directions to Horton Lakes trailhead:
From Bishop go west on 168 (called West Line in Bishop). After about ten minutes (13 kms), turn right into the unpaved Buttermilk Rd (if you get to Starlite Dr, you missed it). Buttermilk Rd is marked as road 7S101. Great views in front of you of Mt Humphreys, Basin Mt and Mt Tom.
Continue on this road ignoring all the sub-roads (that are called 7S017 till 7s01I) until you get to the small sign (hard to see at night) pointing to the right for "Horton Trailhead", 8 kms from the start of Buttermilk Rd. This takes about 30-40 minutes depending on how much damage you want to cause to your car. The road gets considerably worse beyond this sign (more rocks and running water) and it's unlikely you'll go very far with a regular car. Most likely you will want to park in a small opening at 37.32166 & 118.61001. You are just one kilometer or 15 minutes of walking from the Horton trailhead. You can follow the switchbacks of the road or just head up straight through the low brush parallel to the creek (keep the creek on your left). The Horton Lakes trailhead (10 kms from where you left 168) is a gate: the road used to continue all the way up to the Mt Tom tungsten mine at 4000 meters. The "trail" is in fact the old road.

A week after launching a broad-based community destination for cloud developers focusing on open-source technologies—IBM developerWorks Open—Big Blue has announced a new community aimed at Internet of things (IoT) developers.
IBM’s new IBM developerWorks Recipes community is designed to help developers—from novice to experienced—quickly and easily learn how to connect Internet of things (IoT) devices to the cloud and how to use data coming from those connected devices. Users of developerWorks Recipes can tap into IBM’s Bluemix platform as a service (PaaS) to implement step-by-step tutorials for embedding advanced analytics and machine learning into IoT devices and applications.
Industry research firm Gartner forecasts that 4.9 billion connected things will be in use in 2015, up 30 percent from 2014, and that number will reach 25 billion by 2020. Research firm IoT Analytics ranked IBM No. 1 in IoT investment based on IBM’s launch of an IoT business unit and its pledge to invest $3 billion into it.
According to IoT Analytics, IBM—with that huge $3 billion commitment—is now No. 1 in the world in IoT investment, followed by Google, Intel, Microsoft and Cisco Systems. Apple, SAP, Oracle, Samsung and Hewlett-Packard round out the top 10.
“IBM has long been a leader in offering innovative tools for developers to create the applications of our future. Now, IBM is expanding that focus so anyone—from the software novice to the experienced hardware engineer—can easily and quickly access materials providing guidance in the creation, management and connection of IoT devices to each other and the cloud,” said Christopher O’Connor, general manager of IoT offerings at IBM, in a statement. “With developerWorks Recipes, IBM provides easy access to new analytics and operational insight capabilities that tap into the vast data from many connected devices, home appliances or cars.”
Examples of what IBM is hoping to help developers do include understanding vehicle performance by analyzing data from its onboard diagnostic system, linking real-time machine condition monitoring with IBM asset management to monitor everything from the health of household appliances to wheels on a railroad car, and spotting trends, and obtaining solutions to common problems through graphical representation of historical and real-time data from IoT devices.
IBM is leading with Bluemix to entice developers to the IBM Cloud platform. By helping users connect their IoT devices to Bluemix, IBM is helping them run advanced analytics, utilize machine learning and tap into additional Bluemix services. For example, data storage, predictive modeling and geospatial analytics can help users better understand the data on their devices and also help to accelerate the IoT ecosystem.
“Developers just can’t be experts on each new ‘thing’ that gets added to the IoT,” said Jone Rasmussen, general manager at IoT developer tool startup Bitreactive, in a statement. “To control costs of IoT projects, developers need easy, repeatable ways to quickly extract data from devices. IBM developerWorks Recipes is the perfect platform to do just that. It brings the embedded and cloud developer communities together in one place. Any cloud IoT developer can now easily find and reuse our templates for producing intelligent data at the edge of the network. With developerWorks Recipes, IBM shows it understands what’s needed to make developers’ lives easier.”
IBM Launches Internet of Things Developer Community
Daniel Quant, vice president of product management at MultiTech Systems, said for the longest time, companies have been building their machine-to-machine and IoT applications essentially from scratch. “IBM developerWorks Recipes enables companies to leverage the hard lessons learned by other developers in order to simplify the process—a goal to which MultiTech has been committed for more than 40 years. IBM is helping to enable us and our customers to connect devices quickly and with security features to the IBM Cloud—with the ultimate goal of transforming our business processes and efficiencies.”
Tony Milbourn, vice president of corporate strategy at u-blox, said IBM’s new community will help reduce risk for IoT developers. Headquartered in Thalwil, Switzerland, u-blox creates wireless semiconductors and modules for consumer, automotive and industrial markets.
“The ecosystems around the IoT are complex and that complexity makes it more difficult for companies to get the true business benefits from IoT,” Milbourn said. “To cut through this complexity, particularly in the Internet of Things that Really Matter, u-blox has combined its robust cellular, short-range and positioning products and solutions with IBM’s deep data analytics and management capabilities in the IBM Bluemix cloud platform. developerWorks Recipes brings recipes, tools and prototypes that show customers the benefits, support ease of deployment, and most importantly provide information about how to best reduce risk. The combination of IBM and u-blox is ideal for key global players in the automotive, industrial and professional markets.”
In March, IBM said it was building a cloud-based open platform to help customers and ecosystem partners build IoT solutions. The company also said it was creating new IBM IoT cloud services to drive insights into business operations. More than 2,000 IBM consultants, researchers and developers are working on the IoT initiative.
“Our knowledge of the world grows with every connected sensor and device, but too often we are not acting on it, even when we know we can ensure a better result,” said Bob Picciano, senior vice president of IBM Analytics, in a statement. “IBM will enable clients and industry partners to apply IoT data to build solutions based on an open platform. This is a major focus of investment for IBM because it’s a rich and broad-based opportunity where innovation matters.”
Last week, IBM launched developerWorks Open, a cloud-based environment for developers to access emerging IBM technologies and technical expertise and to collaborate with a global network to accelerate projects. IBM also said it would release 50 projects to the open-source community to help speed enterprise adoption and spur a new class of cloud innovations around mobile, analytics and other growth areas. The company made the announcement at the O’Reilly Open Source Convention (OSCON) 2015 conference in Portland, Ore.
“IBM firmly believes that open source is the foundation of innovative application development in the cloud,” said Dr. Angel Diaz, IBM vice president of Cloud Architecture and Technology, in a statement. “With developerWorks Open, we are open sourcing additional IBM innovations that we feel have the potential to grow community and ecosystem and eventually become established technologies.”
On developerWorks Open, developers can download code and access blogs, videos, tools and techniques to accelerate their efforts.

Apple is unveiling its new phones tomorrow, and it's basically confirmed now that prices will start at $1,000. That, as the New York Times puts it, is "luxury territory," and it's about what the cost of their entry level laptop retails for. While we surely have love for the design-driven brand (full disclosure: currently typing this from my beloved Macbook Pro as my iPhone 7 Plus sits within arm's reach), four figures can buy a lot. Here's a partial list of other things you can spend your hard-earned cash on.
The IKEA workhorse is one of the most budget-friendly sofas on the market; at $299, you could buy three for the reported price of the iPhone 8 (rumored to also be called iPhone X, as in the 10th anniversary of the iPhone). You can't sit nine friends on your phone, no matter how much OLED technology the screen has. On the other hand, you could buy 52 iPhone 8s for the price of Kendall Jenner's Campana Brothers sofa.
Four or more pieces from Le Creuset's new pink line
One of our favorite French cookware brands just announced a new color that could pass as Millennial Pink. The larger pieces (dutch ovens, braisers) are in the $200-$300 range, so you can snag yourself four or more items for the price of one iPhone.
1 to 10 nights at these stunning rentals with pools
We recently rounded up a gaggle of gorgeous house rentals, all with summer-extending pools, from right here in the US of A to tropical Thailand, and they start at just $85 per night.
If you are itching to spend $1,000 on electronics, perhaps you'd rather choose something with a bigger screen. Of course, LED is a step below iPhone's OLED in quality, but it's roughly 55 inches larger. A tradeoff.

UMUAHIA—THE crisis rocking the leadership of Ibeku Community has deepened with the Princewill Ukaegbu faction of the Ibeku Egwu Asaa Development Association rejecting the peace settlement held last week by the Emeka Enyeazu group, saying that it was a farce. The Ukaegbu group insisted that it was the authentic elected leadership of Ibeku Egwu Asaa union and challenged the Enyeazu group to produce the certificate of incorporation and seal of the association to prove that it is recognized.
The group said that what happened last week was not a peace meeting between the two camps but a reconciliation of the Paramount ruler of Ibeku Kingdom, Eze Samuel Onuoha (Ogurube IV) and some people he sanctioned for allegedly desecrating Ibeku Land. Rising from a meeting of what they called Ibeku Stakeholders,
the group maintained that there was indeed no crisis in the leadership of the association, claiming that their leader, Ukaegbu, was the only legally elected president of the association. For the avoidance of doubt, there was no peace settlement meeting ever held in Ibekuland, rather what transpired was that those who were sanctioned and ostracized by the Ogurube-in-council for desecrating the land went to Ogurube to beg for pardon and appeasement of the gods of the land.
