This year, Stanford Classics turns 125, and to celebrate, we have put together an exhibit examining its early history. While small and undistinguished early on, the department quickly produced scholars of distinction. Today it is a major center of American classics, and a world leader in the study of ancient Greece and Rome. Still, the century and a quarter that intervenes between us and its foundation is often a sort of ever-advancing black box—that is, we seldom have an institutional memory that extends any further back than the recollection of the faculty's most senior member. Earlier outlines of the department's history are therefore simply lost. This exhibit hopes to shed some light on that earlier place and time.

October 1, 2015, marks the 125th anniversary of the establishment of Yosemite National Park. To commemorate our nation’s third National Park, the University Archives has mounted an exhibition of photographs of Yosemite Valley taken by Eadweard Muybridge in 1872. On display are ten albumen photographs printed from replicated negatives made from photographs by Muybridge in 1872. This set of images comes from a limited edition printed by the Chicago Albumen Works, Inc. and published by Yosemite Natural History Association in 1977. Only 50 sets were produced.
The current "Higlights from the Marmor Collection" exhibition, "Josef Albers: Interaction of Color," closes June 15 at the Cantor Arts Center. The exhibition displays prints by Albers from the "Homage to the square" series in the Marmor Collection alongside a selection of plates and the Text and Commentary books from the Art & Architecture's copy of Alber's Interaction of Color (New Haven: Yale University Press, 1963).
The Stanford Media Preservation Lab and the Department of Special Collections are delighted that Shu-Wen Lin is spending the summer with us in Redwood City interning as a media archivist. Leveraging her interest and background in the arts, Shu-Wen will help to process and preserve several media-based collections, including the archives of visual artist Carolee Schneeman and the archives of Telling Pictures, a prominent Bay Area film production company. Shu-Wen's first day is June 1.
Have you ever wondered why Stanford is represented by the color cardinal, and not the original choice of gold? Or why the university's motto is in German?
The University Archives, in collaboration with Kathleen Smith, Curator of Germanic Collections and Medieval Studies, is pleased to announce a new exhibition focused on the development of Stanford's insignia. Becoming Stanford: The History and Meaning of the University’s Insignia is now on display in the South Lobby of Green Library.
As previously announced, the Ruth Asawa papers are now available. In thinking of fun and innovative ways to present certain aspects of her work, we decided to scan a small series of San Francisco architecture snapshots from her collection and upload them to the social mapping website Historypin, and also include them in their Year of the Bay local history project. These photographs were probably used as research in creating the San Francisco Fountain in Union Square, which features many cast dough relief images of the city. Unfortunately there is no information on or about the prints in the collection. They are likely all from the 1960s, and were probably taken by Asawa (she has referred to taking pictures of the city in preparation). Architectural historian Sally Woodbridge may have also contributed. The varying qualities of the prints implies that several cameras or developers were used, and that they were probably taken over a period of time. At any rate, they collectively serve as a remarkable portrait of the city in that decade.
After more than a year of intensive organizing and arranging, we are very proud to announce that the papers of artist and educator Ruth Asawa (M1585) are now available for research. The finding aid can be accessed from the Online Archive of Calfornia, and the collection record in the Searchworks catalog.
Alert 747: Suspected Nuclear Test - A journey to uncover facts and create dialog through humanistic creative production. This February, Stanford University Libraries (SUL) highlights a special collection, Vela 6911 by Victor Gama, with an exhibit on display in the Green Library South Lobby from February 3- March 9, 2015. Vela 6911 is a multimedia musical piece created by Victor Gama, an Angolan composer and designer of contemporary musical instruments for new music. This exhibit offers a glimpse into this vast collection of research, images, video content and musical scores that reside in the SUL Archive of Recorded Sound. It also supports and coincides with the March 6th live performance of VELA 6911 by Gama, the Stanford University New Ensemble and special guests from Stanford’s Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA). Information about the concert is at the Stanford Events Page.

The parliamentary defence by Julia Gillard and Wayne Swan of the minerals resource rent tax has taken on a surreal air. Sitting in the gallery has become like Waiting for Godot.
The Prime Minister and the Treasurer are blaming various people - Tony Abbott and rapacious Coalition premiers - and various factors - "inefficient state royalties" and a collapse in commodity prices - for the debacle that the MRRT has become and a looming $2 billion budget hole.
As part of the whole absurd parade, Gillard told parliament Labor was about "efficient" taxes of resources and efficiency. "Spreading the benefits of the boom" was not about Coalition state governments "just jacking up" royalties.
"Jacking up royalties" was obviously in the government talking notes yesterday.
Mental Health Minister Mark Butler earlier sheeted home the admitted failure of the MRRT to raise any real revenue to "state governments . . . jacking up their royalties, which means that those state governments are getting the taxes instead of the national government".
As a political ploy it is a bravura performance, breathtaking in its illogicality, self-delusion and heroic belief that anyone could buy the argument.
When Swan got to his feet yesterday to respond to a question. he began by saying: "It is embarrassing . . ."
The opposition benches erupted in laughter and bristled with pointing fingers as the Labor backbench looked even more despondent and embarrassed.He said:
It is embarrassing because the Treasurer is the principal architect of the resource super-profits tax under Kevin Rudd and the MRRT under Gillard, and rejected the Henry tax review recommendation to replace inefficient state royalties with a federal super-profits tax.
It was Swan who created the federal mining tax as add-on to state royalties against the recommendation of the Treasury head and the entire resources industry, and without even trying to get state co-operation.
It was Swan and Gillard who went further than the Rudd plan and agreed the commonwealth would allow mining companies to credit "all" state royalties against the mining tax - even those state governments "jacked up" - and granted huge tax deductions for the big three miners.
It was the Labor governments and premiers of South Australia and Queensland who jacked up royalties first and defended the miners' claims to credits.
Treasury secretary Martin Parkinson has admitted the design of the mining tax is responsible for its failure to generate revenue, not the falling commodity prices, higher currency and state royalties blamed by the government.And it was, and is, and the Gillard Government never runs out of people to blame.
In explosive testimony to the Senate economics committee yesterday, Dr Parkinson said Treasury had compiled its budget forecasts in ignorance of the real cost of concessions agreed to by Wayne Swan and Resources Minister Martin Ferguson when they renegotiated the tax in private with the chief executives of BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto and Xstrata in mid-2010.
"We've adjusted those estimates for the things that we can see that have changed in the interim. What we haven't done is adjust the estimates for things that we can't see," he said.
Dr Parkinson said the two big variables it did not take into account - and which resulted in the tax raising only $126 million in its first six months - were the value that the mining companies put on their assets (the starting base for the tax) and the share of the profits that is attributable to downstream operations not covered by the mining tax.
..."When . . . the mining industry talked with us there was no legal obligation on them to have actually settled on the starting base," he said. "They actually had the opportunity to go back and think about what their starting base should be. They gave us their best estimate, as we understand it, their best estimate at the time, but they clearly had until the point they are legally obligated for the tax the opportunity to rethink that."
Asked by opposition assistant Treasury spokesman Mathias Cormann whether Treasury was "flying blind" when it compiled the forecasts, Dr Parkinson replied: "We can't see changes that may have been made."
A week after the tax was agreed, the then Coalition industry spokesman Ian Macfarlane suggested no tax would be paid: "The companies involved in the negotiations will be paying no more tax than they are now. We're starting to think the whole thing is a sham."
Godot has nothing on PM for absurdity

Mixed Precipitation Causing Twin Tiers Travel Issues
The latest weather challenge facing the Twin Tiers is coming in the form of mixed precipitation.
A number of schools opted to delay classes at the start of mixed precipitation in areas primarily north and east of the City of Binghamton.
On the heels of a double-barreled winter storm system that included several inches of snow, high winds, a drop in temperature and dangerously cold wind chill, the National Weather Service says there is a chance of a whole range of precipitation types to hit the region January 23
A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect until 5 p.m. January 23.
The National Weather Service says mixed precipitation is expected. Total snow accumulations of less than one inch and ice accumulations of up to one-tenth of an inch are expected in Broome, Chenango, Delaware, Tioga, Cortland and other counties in the Southern Tier and Central New York and in Bradford, Susquehanna and Wayne Counties in the Northern Tier of Pennsylvania.
While accumulation totals don’t sound to be very high, officials say motorists should plan on slippery road conditions. The hazardous conditions could impact the morning and evening commutes.
A Winter Weather Advisory means that periods of snow, sleet or freezing rain will cause travel difficulties. Expect slippery roads and limited visibilities, and use caution while driving.

The Simpsons has been on the air for 28 years, which makes it somewhat surprising that it wasn't until last night that the show had its first one-hour special. Lucky for us, this hour of power was the hip-hop themed "The Great Phatsby" and featured some of rap's heavy hitters.
The episode, which centered around Mr. Burns yearning to relive his youthful glory years and discovering a means to do it through a hip-hop artist who's been influenced by his legacy. In addition to a grip of original music for the episode (including a remixed theme) put together by producer Jim Beanz (who handles the music for Fox's Empire) the show contained cameos from rap legends Snoop Dogg, RZA and Common, as well as Keegan-Michael Key and Taraji P. Henson.
While not the first time we've seen hip-hop on The Simpsons (Cypress Hill in '96 and 50 Cent in '05 remain some of our favorite moments) it's always good to see our favorite MCs Simpsonified!

We had the best weekend I think both of us have had in such a long time! Friday was Steven's birthday and we got to do some great stuff! I spent all night Thursday making him this fantastic cake called Orange Velvet. It was sooo amazing! I actually messed up on the first one so I made two! haha I got the idea from a bridal show the week before when this clever lady decided to have cool flavored wedding cakes! She had things from orange velvet to raspberry lemonade! Steven and I loved her samples so much that I decided to attempt to recreate it. Now I'm not the greatest chef so it was a little difficult... but I think I did pretty good!
We went to Rodizio Grill on Friday and Steve was in heaven! He loves meat more than anything else so he was just goin to town! I had a great time too. We always have fun when we are together because we always find ways to make things fun and exciting! I can't even wait to see what it will be like when this boy and I finally get married! I'm sure everyday will be something different and fun! We had the workers sing him happy birthday in Brazilian or something like that and it was so funny to hear them sing it! The guy with the bongo drums was pounding on them right behind me and Steve said I jumped out of my chair when he started! haha We also got the privilege of seeing Memit Okur from the Jazz. It was so crazy how tall he was! But all in all I think we had a great day!
The next day was our Engagement Pictures! It was so funny to see Steven and how he acted. We were just being calm and casual in the car ride over but as soon as we got in front of that camera he hammed it up! :) he is so cute to me. The photographer kept catching us smooching off camera or would end up with random shots because Steve decided to twirl me around or throw me over his shoulders! ha We had such a fun time! I never wanted it to end! Our photographer said we should be getting back our pictures within a week or so, so we will have to post them up! He took us to the coolest spots in salt lake so we are super excited!
My family decided to have a little birthday dinner for Steven so he got to spend Sunday with us. My sisters are so silly around him! They don't quite know what is going on and why I chose to marry him, but lets hope in time they will understand! ha We went on a walk to the park and Steve got to hold Bo's leash. I swear he loves that dog more than my sisters do! (and that's a lot of lovin!) He got the best candles I have ever seen! I was a tad bit jealous. But the weekend was a blast! We had so much fun! and it was so great to spend time with him. Every time I see him I am just amazed at how much I could love someone! Its a great feeling...

Osprey Atmos AG 65 and Aura AG 65
$270, 4 lbs. 11 oz. (men’s medium)
Men’s Atmos AG 65 sizes: S-L
S 62L/3,783 c.i., fits torsos 40-48cm/16-19 ins.
M 65L/3,967 c.i., fits torsos 46-53cm/18-21 ins.
L 68L/4,150 c.i., fits torsos 51-58cm/20-23 ins.
Women’s Aura AG 65 sizes: XS-M
XS 60L/3,661 c.i., 4 lbs., fits torsos 14-17 ins./35-43cm
S 62L/3,783 c.i., 4 lbs. 2 oz., fits torsos 16-19 ins./40-48cm
M 65L/3,967 c.i., 4 lbs. 4 oz., fits torsos 18-21 ins./46-53cm
A backpack is a little like a relationship: It’s hard to tell what it’s going to be like when you first meet, and then you get to know each other much better over time. But in that sense, the Atmos 65 is different from most packs I’ve tested over the past 20 years: It felt very different, in a good way, the first time I put it on, and that positive first impression bore out as I carried it backpacking with my family for four days on the Rockwall Trail in Canada’s Kootenay National Park, on two hut treks in New Zealand’s Fiordland National Park, and on a family ski trip to a backcountry yurt in Idaho’s Boise Mountains.
The new Atmos carried very comfortably with 45 to 50 pounds on the Rockwall Trail, including two days of 10 and 12 miles and up to 3,000 feet of elevation gain; and over the course of three days on Fiordland’s Kepler Track (photo at bottom of review) and four days on the Dusky Track, carrying up to about 25 pounds on each. On our family ski trip to a backcountry yurt, I skied twice from car to yurt and back, about two miles with about 700 vertical feet of ascent and descent, with the Atmos AG full and weighing about 30 pounds. On one of those trips, I also pulled a gear sled (not attached directly to the pack) weighing 25 pounds.
My wife used her Aura AG 65 for the first time on the Rockwall Trail, carrying up to 40 pounds, and told me simply: “This pack feels awesome.”
Osprey’s new and innovative Anti-Gravity suspension in the Atmos AG and women’s Aura AG feels more like putting on a jacket than a backpack. It consists of a panel of lightweight, tensioned mesh extending from the top of the back panel to the hipbelt, fully wrapping around your back and hips while delivering ample air movement across your back, thanks to the trampoline-style mesh panel. It never shifted or threw me off balance, even when scrambling and clambering through thousands of vertical feet of tree roots, blowdowns, and very steep, muddy, and rain-slicked trail on the Dusky Track, or skiing downhill through heavy, mashed-potato snow.
An easily adjustable harness with perforated foam shoulder straps and a Fit-on-the-Fly hipbelt that can be adjusted (with a range of five inches/15cm) let me dial in a customized fit. The Aura’s hipbelt, shoulder straps, and pack shape are all designed to fit a woman’s body and shift the pack’s weight lower, closer to her center of balance.
With an 18-inch torso, I’ve always fit medium Osprey packs in the past, and I used a medium Atmos AG 65 on my first three trips with it (the yurt trip and trekking the Kepler and Dusky). But then I tried on a small and it fit me better. Osprey tells me the AG suspension may fit differently than other Osprey models, so measure your torso length and try on different sizes before buying. My wife has a 17-inch torso and the XS Aura fit her well, at the upper end of its fit range.
The Atmos and Aura sport a couple of features I think should be standard on all packs made primarily for backpacking: hipbelt pockets (each big enough for three energy bars) and a stow-on-the-go attachment for trekking poles on the left shoulder strap. As a photographer, I like being to able clip my poles to my pack and quickly pull out my camera while hiking, but that attachment frees your hands for myriad purposes like grabbing a snack or water bottle.

Stretch side pockets each hold a liter bottle, and a bladder sleeve inside. There’s a front, stuff-it pocket that can swallow a wet rainfly, and behind it, two voluminous, zippered pockets big enough for a rain cover, jacket, gaiters, and extra layers or snacks.
The lid has two pockets spacious enough for all your small stuff like headlamp, hats, gloves, etc., and is removable by threading two straps, shaving seven ounces. With the lid off, an integrated cover panel clips into the lid straps to shield the pack’s top opening.
Side compression straps snug down partial loads and let you carry items on the outside. External sleeping pad straps are removable. The sleeping bag compartment panel can be dropped out of the way but not removed. The pack fabric promises durability, with 420-denier nylon pack cloth on the bottom, and high-tenacity nylon elsewhere.

Osprey Atmos AG 65 and Aura AG 65
With their unique, super comfortable harness and suspension, comfort with 45 pounds or more, and numerous backpacker-friendly features, the Osprey men’s Atmos AG 65 and women’s Aura AG 65 rank among the very best packs out there today for moderate to big loads. Call it love at first click (of buckles) or whatever you like, but I am confident of enjoying a long and harmonious relationship with my Atmos AG 65.

Earlier this month, Chile’s lower chamber voted in favor of legalizing abortion in cases of rape, incest, and fatal malformation to the fetus—marking what could be the beginning of repealing one of the strictest abortion laws in the world.
“This is historic. The chamber of deputies has brought down the last ideological wall of the dictatorship,” lower chamber President Marco Antonio Núñez said, referencing the law as a vestige of Gen. Augusto Pinochet’s dictatorship, which was responsible for recriminalizing abortion 26 years ago.
Until Thursday, Chile was one of six countries that criminalized abortion in all cases, even rape and incest. Receiving or performing an abortion can land a woman or her doctor in jail for up to five years.
Nevertheless, Chile has one of the highest rates of abortion in Latin America—and consequently, one of the highest maternal mortality rates as well, with more than 33,000 women admitted to the hospital per year due to abortion-related causes. While an underground network of pro-choice feminists and doctors has sprung up to either provide the procedure in secret, or procure and trade Misoprostol (commonly known as the abortion pill) for women in need on the black market, poorer women frequently resort to inducing an abortion themselves, a time-honored—and dangerous—solution.
“Clandestine abortions are carried out in Chile, and will continue, with or without politicians or a law,” said Claudia Dides, the director of Miles Chile, a local non-governmental organization that advocates for women’s health.
“What we want is for abortions to be safe.”
Chile has not always had such restrictive laws when it comes to abortion. Abortion was first legalized—along with the right to vote in municipal elections—in 1931, for women whose lives were in danger from the pregnancy. However, it was once again criminalized in 1989, just before Pinochet left office.
“Women are obliged to have the child in all circumstances. It is part of the cross the God gives every human,” Jamie Gúzman, a close adviser of Pinochet, said in 1980, while advocating for criminalization.
“The mother must always have the child, even if this child is abnormal, undesired, the product of rape, or even if having the child will kill her.”
It is the Catholic Church hierarchy, left over from the dictatorship era, which has kept abortion criminalized—despite multiple polls indicating strong public support for decriminalization, particularly in extreme cases such as rape, incest, and potential health consequences for either the mother or the child. The first female president in Chile, President Michelle Bachelet, has consistently advocated for legalizing abortion in cases of rape, incest, and fatal malformation to the fetus since her electoral campaign, but has met with opposition from conservative factions.
“Chile has an important legal and public health tradition, that was interrupted arbitrarily in the last days of the dictatorship,” she said during an address, referring to the rigid law as a vestige of the Pinochet dictatorship.
“Twelve bills [to decriminalize abortion] have been tabled in the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate since 1991.”
The next step is for the bill to move on to the Senate, where advocates are hopeful that—despite the presence of conservative, Roman Catholic pro-life senators who are expected to put up a fight—the left-wing government majority will allow the proposal to progress more than previous proposals, and become a law and a reality for Chilean women.

The Andrews Labor Government funding will fast-track the development of regional and rural recycling infrastructure while creating jobs in Regional Victoria.
Minister for Energy, Environment and Climate Change Lily D’Ambrosia announced today a $20 million funding support to expedite the development of a four-bin recycling system in Regional Victoria.
The proposed four service system will separate household waste into rubbish, recycling, glass and green waste.
“We are revolutionising recycling across Victoria,” said Minister D’Ambrosio.
“By separating household waste into four categories, we’re making the most of the material and making sure we reduce the amount of rubbish going into landfill.”
With the funding, the councils will upgrade recycling transfer stations and drop-off points, particularly for separated glass and organics, while works on the new four stream household waste recycling service across the state are ongoing.
“Our recycling reforms mean that every household can do their bit reducing waste and making sure that recycling is a part of daily life,” the Minister added.
“This funding recognises that there isn’t a one-size fits all recycling solution for rural and regional council across Victoria.”
Aside from managing waste that travels to metro Melbourne from the local communities, the system will also help keep and create new jobs.
“This funding puts the needs of rural and regional communities at the forefront of statewide reforms to our recycling system and will stimulate local economies and create jobs,” the release said.
The four stream recycling project is a key initiative of Recycling Victoria – A New Economy, the State Governments plan to transform the waste and recycling system through better household recycling, improved infrastructure, and stronger industry regulation.
So far, the Labor Government has invested $15 million to the plan, which also aims to improve local processing capacity and remanufacturing.
The funding is currently open to 48 rural and regional councils, available from 12 February until 26 March. For more information visit: www.vic.gov.au/recycling

It's hard to believe that Craig Sword played on a sprained ankle on Saturday, especially with the way he played.
The Mississippi State freshman guard played against Georgia with the injury that he suffered against South Carolina last Wednesday.
The 6-foot-3, 189-pound Montgomery, Ala. native was selected as Southeastern Conference Freshman of the Week on Monday for his play against South Carolina and Georgia.
Sword is the second MSU freshman to win the honor this season. Former Starkville High School standout Gavin Ware garnered the award after his performance against Central Arkansas in Jackson a week before Christmas.
"It means a lot, but I've got to move on from it and move onto the next game," Sword told the media Monday afternoon.
He scored a career-high 18 points against the Gamecocks and a steal leading to a dunk that sealed the game. He backed that up with a 16-point performance versus the home-standing Bulldogs in Athens, Ga.
Before Saturday's game against Georgia, Sword has his ankle doctored up by trainer Scotty Johnson.
"Scotty put a lot of tape on it and an ankle brace for it," Sword said. "I couldn't even feel it."
Leading up to the game against Georgia, Sword didn't practice and it was unclear until the shoot around if he was going to play.
"He didn't practice the previous two days," MSU head coach Rick Ray said. "He has been in a boot. The first time he actually had any sort of activity was game day when we went out to start warming up to test the ankle and see if he could actually play or not. We had no indication of how he would be able to play or if he would be able to play due to the ankle. It's a phenomenal thing for Craig to come in, fight like that and play for our team. Not just play, but play well."
Sword's ankle is still questionable for practice, but he should be able to go for Wednesday's matchup with Alabama.
"It's alright," Sword said of his ankle. "I am getting treatment on it. It is keeping me away from practice. I want to practice. Scotty told me I need to keep getting treatment on it to make it better for the game."
The Bulldogs have been playing well as of late. They have won three-straight games and have opened the SEC campaign with two-straight wins. MSU hasn't been 2-0 in the SEC since the 2010 season.
For Sword, he has also found his game and it is showing.
"Now I'm really starting to let the game come to me," Sword said. "Now we have Jalen (Steele) back and he is opening my game up a little bit more."
The Bulldogs (7-7, 2-0) square off with the Alabama Crimson Tide (9-6, 1-1) on Wednesday inside Humphrey Coliseum. The tipoff is set for 8 p.m. and can be seen on CSS.
Sword knows several players that play for Alabama.
"I know Trevor Lacy and Levi (Randolph)," Sword said. "I've played with them. It will be fun to play against them."

I love being able to create a design which then becomes reality and will be treasured for many many years.


The Zenvo TSR-S, famous for its tilting rear wing, is on display at L.A.'s Petersen Automotive Museum.
Zenvo helped the company establish two North American dealerships and introduced itself to press and VIPs at a Zenvo-curated house at Monterey Car Week.
In California's Petersen Museum's "Hypercars: The Allure of the Extreme" exhibition, visitors can see one of the country's rarest exotics.
The car on display is pearlescent Ishvid Perlemoor, which is metallic white, and doesn't look out of place next to the Pagani Honda and Bugatti Chiron.
The nearly $2 million TSR-S is a road-going version of the track-only TSR, both based on Zenvo's TS1 GT. In TSR-S tune, all three cars use a twin-supercharged 5.8-liter V8 developed in-house.
This drives the rear wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission to 62 mph in 2.8 seconds and 202 mph (325 km/h).


In June, the Huawei Nova 5 Pro with Quad cameras launched in China & today, the company launched Nova 5i Pro, again with Quad cameras. As the name suggests, it is an upgrade to the Nova 5i that launched this year with Kirin 710F, Quad Cameras & a hole-punch screen. The Huawei Nova 5i Pro retains much of the design, so it too has a hole-punch screen, a Quad Camera setup & a rear-facing fingerprint scanner.
The rear now looks much like the Huawei Mate 20 Pro as the Nova 5i Pro has a rectangular camera module that houses the four lenses. There is a fingerprint scanner below the camera module. The phone has premium build as there is a glass back with a textured finish.
On the front, there is a 6.26-inch LTPS panel with a Full-HD+ resolution (2340 x 1080). It is a hole-punch screen, so the front camera is placed on the circular cutout on the top left of the screen. It is powered by the 7nm Kirin 810 SOC which is the latest mid-range chip from Huawei having 2x Cortex-A76 cores & 6x Cortex-A55 cores. The phone comes with 6/8GB RAM & 128/256GB storage.
Coming to the cameras, the Huawei Nova 5i Pro has a Quad camera setup that includes a primary 48MP camera with f/1.8 aperture, an 8MP secondary wide-angle camera, a third 2MP macro camera & a fourth 2MP depth sensor. The front camera is a 32MP sensor with f/2.0 aperture lens. Usual cameras features like Portrait Mode, Night Mode, HDR, AR Stickers, Pro Mode etc. are all there.
There is a 4,000mAh battery that supports 10V/2A fast charging. As per the company, the charging time is 1.5 Hours. Finally, Android 9 Pie runs out of the box with EMUI 9.1 on top.
The color options include Magic Night Black, Aurora & Green. Here is the pricing for the Chinese market –
- 6GB + 128GB – 2,199 Yuan ($320)
- 8GB + 128GB – 2,499 Yuan ($363)
- 8GB + 256GB – 2,799 Yuan ($407)

Utahns Can Meet Both Senate Candidate Cherilyn Eagar And Sarah Palin At The Salt Lake Costco Book Signing On December 9th; Costco Membership Required
Utah U.S. Senate Republican candidate Cherilyn Eagar, who is now the leading Republican challenger for incumbent Bob Bennett's Senate seat, announces that she will be present at Sarah Palin's book signing to be held at the Salt Lake City Costco at 1800 South 300 West from 12 Noon until 3 P.M. on Wednesday December 9th, 2009. Costco employees will begin distributing tickets at 10 A.M.; only 1,000 tickets will be distributed, and it's first come, first serve. You will be required to be a Costco member and show a receipt proving that you bought 'Going Rogue' at a Costco warehouse in order to get a ticket (call 801-485-9715 to verify); such proof has been required at Palin's other Costco appearances. A basic membership costs $50 per year.
Update: According to a new Deseret News story, those who do not have Costco memberships will get the opportunity to purchase one and buy a copy of Going Rogue before Sarah Palin arrives for her appearance.
Those who want to meet Eagar as well should form up with the "Eagar to Support Sarah Palin" group in the Costco parking lot beginning at 11 A.M. Cherilyn Eagar asks that anyone wanting to join the fans can RSVP to an e-mail address provided on Eagar's official campaign website.
One caveat. Forming up with this group will not give you a preferential opportunity to get a ticket to buy the book. The tickets will be distributed by Costco personnel beginning at 10 A.M.; it's first come, first serve. That's because there is no official connection between Sarah Palin and the Eagar for Senate campaign; Sarah Palin has neither officially endorsed Cherilyn Eagar, nor has Eagar claimed any official endorsement from Palin, although Eagar takes pride in being compared with Palin.
KSL has now done a story on the lead-up to this event. Fans are already preparing to camp out overnight on Tuesday night.
Here's another story from KSTU Channel 13 showing Palin fans already lining up outside of Costco on Tuesday night in single-digit temperatures:
Utah Republican Party Chairman Dave Hansen is a bit unhappy that Sarah Palin is stopping in Utah merely to sign books, and wishes she would do more for the party in Utah.

ANTVR, the “all-in-one universal virtual reality kit” from Beijing, reached its Kickstarter goal on June 23 and went on to raise over US$260,000.
Tech in Asia spoke to company CTO Jason Zhang on the sidelines of this week’s TechCrunch Beijing conference, who said the device will go on sale in the US in September. A China release is in the works for a later, unspecified date.
The ANTVR itself was on sight for attendants to demo, but the long queue meant each person only got about 30 seconds to test it out – not nearly enough to give a definitive answer to the many controversial claims ANTVR has made in comparison to Oculus Rift, including the ANTVR’s multi-platform capabilities, positional tracking, and latency.
That said, I can testify that the device didn’t really immerse me in the horror game used in the demo. This is largely due to the poor fit – ANTVR was clearly designed for Asian faces with flatter noses. I could see the bottom edge of the screen, and I did noticed some distortion in the periphery.
ANTVR’s biggest selling point is probably the fact that it’s compatible with any game console, including mobile devices. By contrast, Oculus Rift only runs games developed specifically for its platform. A slight latency, discomfort, and mediocre video quality should all be taken into account by prospective buyers who don’t want to shell out the extra 50 bucks for a Rift (note: I’ve never used a Rift, so I can’t make direct comparisons). The ANTVR will retail for US$300.
Oculus Rift, which only sells development kits for now, suspended sales in China last month after customers bought them only to later resell them at a much higher price.

Not to be confused with the 1999 action movie Dead or Alive: Hanzaisha, this video game adaptation begins in the Ishikari Mountains of Japan where Princess Kasumi anguishes over her missing brother. Kasumi, played by Devon Aoki (Sin City, 2 Fast 2 Furious) eventually becomes a rogue shinobi (maybe they could adapt that video game) to search for her brother, played by Collin Chou (Matrix Reloaded). The princess’s bodyguard Ryu Hayabusa, played by Kane Kosugi (War), tags along to connect the several characters together. Natassia Malthe (Eletkra and the upcoming BloodRayne sequel… yes, a sequel) plays the mysterious Ayane.
Jamie Pressly (My Name is Earl television series) does the best job fighting as Tina Armstrong. After this viewing, you’ll know why Jamie Pressly always stays so “buff” and tan on her television show. Tina’s backed up by her father, Bass, played by “Diesel” wrestler Kevin Nash (The Punisher, The Longest Yard). Tina must also contend with lead pirate robber Robin Shou (Mortal Kombat – it’s a small role but Shou will direct and star with fellow waning action star Ray Park in the upcoming Dead Mule Suitcase). Another fighter named Zack is played by dancer/former football player Brian J. White (Stomp the Yard and In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale). Rising British acting star/singer Matthew Marsden (the upcoming John Rambo, Resident Evil: Extinction) plays Max while big guy Silvio Simac plays Leon. Singer/actress Holly Valance rounds out the cast as the blond Aussie thief Christie.
Once the invitees arrive, Canadian Sarah Carter (Shark television series) plays hostess Helena Douglas. Texan Steve Howey (Reba television series) plays the event technician Weatherby. Eric Roberts (Best of the Best) plays Donovan, host of the DOA tournament. None of the characters are deep. The screenplay and story by screenwriter J.F. Lawton (Pretty Woman) doesn’t address much character development beyond their fighting abilities. Screenwriters Seth and Adam Gross (Bill Nye the Science Guy) also contribute to the screenplay. Nothing deep in dialogue like “I guess I’m going to the ball after all”. Just fights set to rock music and some credible directing from a master director.
This experience leaves you with a heightened sense of movement thanks to director Corey Yuen (The Transporter, The Legend) who uses camera speed and shaking effects for more impact — and it works. One notable miscue hurts the action credibility. As characters climb up to the tournament venue (think kung fu Donkey Kong), a group of female characters pull themselves up in an awkward edit, which negates their impressive efforts and the movie’s stuntwork and martial arts. Hard earned efforts from the actors/martial arts (e.g. the sand fight and a nifty stair struggle) impress individually, but don’t quite mesh into a cohesive story. Team-based themes seen in other video game adaptations (e.g. Mortal Kombat: Annihilation) are simply abandoned in this movie, except for some cheesy banter. DOA just unloads lots of bloodless and physics-defying violence (e.g. the bamboo would’ve cut most people to shreds) while reaching out to older audiences with echoes of Hero, House of Flying Daggers, Charlie’s Angels and Bugs Bunny cartoons. Unexplained invitation deliveries, fighters suddenly becoming parachute experts, nanotechnology, ability downloads and constant DOA marketing keep the tone light while potentially interesting elements like ninja acupuncture remain on the same level as the other presented elements – one-dimensional. Familiar faces can’t quite elevate the movie for older audiences (who might prefer the unrated “Asian version”), but younger audiences will enjoy it more. Rated PG-13 for violence and sexual innuendo.
The DVD extra features include the preview and “East Meets West: Behind the Action of DOA”, which talks more about the training and shows some pretty interesting special effects techniques (catch the green-suited guys lifting up the women for the volleyball sequences). French and English language options with Spanish/English subtitles.

Stellar pitching lifts CMU baseball to defeat Oakland
After Central Michigan baseball put up two runs in its half of the second inning, sophomore right-handed pitcher Nate Ross found himself in a jam with the bases loaded and one out. The Chippewas pitcher worked out of the jam striking out the next two batters and keeping CMU with a lead they wouldn’t lose for the remainder of the game.
With thunderstorms in the forecast, the Chippewas (15-12, 5-4) traveled to Oakland University (10-17, 4-5) for a single game on Tuesday and came out victorious with a 6-3 win over the Grizzlies.
CMU shut down Oakland through seven innings of Tuesday’s contest. Starting on the mound for the Chippewas was Ross, going 2 1/3 innings giving up two hits, two walks, while striking out five and giving up no runs.
Freshman left-handed pitcher Evan Waters entered the game in relief for the Chippewas throwing 4 1/3 innings, punching out six and allowed one hit and a walk.
The Grizzlies on the other hand, tossed eight different pitchers throughout the game, this being highlighted by redshirt senior Brett Hagen who tossed three innings, while striking out three, allowing one walk and no hits.
CMU who has struggled at the plate as of late, got its offense going early in the top of the second after a double steal by freshmen infielders Christian Mitchelle and Luke Sefcik setup CMU with two runners in scoring position. With two outs, junior catcher Drew Stengren singled to left field, driving in the two runners to give the Chippewas a 2-0 lead.
The Chippewas would add two more runs in the sixth and seventh innings when Mitchelle scored on a balk, while junior Jacob Donahue scored via wild pitch.
CMU totaled nine hits on the day with Sefcik, Donahue, and redshirt sophomore Robby Morgan IV contributing two apiece.
Oakland had a tough time at the plate through seven innings as they were only able to amount three hits through the first seven innings of the contest.
In the eighth inning, the Grizzlies almost doubled its hit total by adding on two doubles in the inning. Oakland tacked on two runs one on a fielder’s choice with the bases loaded, while the other came on a Lucas Loos double to cut the lead to 4-2.
After the Chippewas scored two more in the top of the ninth, the Grizzlies attempted a two out rally in the bottom half on an RBI double off the bat of senior Ian Cleary, but the next batter would fly out to end the game.
CMU hits the road this weekend as it heads to Northern Illinois for a three game series staring on Friday at 4 p.m.

Commission publishes document to help cities and towns focus on equity
As part of the Cannabis Control Commission’s ongoing work to implement the recent changes to the Massachusetts cannabis laws, the agency recently released a memo to advise municipalities on adopting policies to encourage equity in the regulated marijuana industry. Recommendations include reducing or waiving fees for equity applications to lower barriers to entry, improving transparency in the approval process, and expediting responses to the Commission’s requests for confirmation of local compliance.
The memo highlights positive examples from Newton and Somerville, two Host Communities that have implemented policies promoting transparency, inclusion, and equity in their processes. Newton is listen in the memo as an example because they consider equity when evaluating all cannabis businesses and make sure that applicants have clear information on the permit process, the zoning map, and the relevant local contacts. The memo is designed to encourage all municipalities, despite their level of resources, to adopt policies that promote equity and facilitate the meaningful participation of disproportionately harmed communities in the regulated marijuana industry.
