Apple has spread invitations for a celebration called the Apple Event which will take place on October 13. As usual, the invitation does not clearly state what product will be launched. However, it is most likely that the company from Cupertino, USA will introduce the long-awaited iPhone 12 line.
Because, last September, Apple launched other products, namely the iPad Air 4 and Apple Watch Series 6. The event, which will be held at Apple Park, will be broadcast online on the apple .com site at 10.00 am local time or around 00.00 WIB on October 14th.
In addition to the inscription “Hi, Speed”, which is probably the title of the event , invitation sentence, and schedule, the display only displays the Apple logo on four circular fields in orange and dark blue gradations. “Hi, Speed” is a play on words that can be interpreted as “Hi, speed”, or “High speed”.
This probably refers to the kitchen runway iPhone 12 more drag than previously. Rumors are circulating that the iPhone 12 will be powered by the A14 Bionic chip, which is Apple’s strongest SoC at the moment.
The chip is also embedded in the iPad Air 4, which was launched last September. It is also possible that “Hi, Speed” is an indication that the iPhone 12 will later carry high-speed 5G connectivity, as has been waiting for many fans.
One of the famous gadget reviewers, Ben Geskin uploaded a video showing the uniqueness of the Apple Event invitation. The invitation will feature a 3D shape thanks to augmented reality (AR) technology.
In one of the comments, Geskin said that the AR version of the Apple Event invitation can be opened via the https://www.apple.com/apple-events site , then tap the orange Apple logo. However, this AR display can only be opened with Apple devices.
As summarized from CNBC , Wednesday (7/10/2020), Apple is likely to introduce four iPhone models consisting of two regular iPhones 12 and two “Pro” frills.
Reportedly, the four models will bring a new design with sharper rounded corners like the iPad Air 4. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo who often spreads rumors about Apple products said that the new iPhone design will be similar to the iPhone 4 in 2010.
The “smallest” model he calls the name iPhone mini, which has a 6.4-inch screen. Then two models have a 6.1 inch screen span and another one has a 6.7 inch screen span.
Another rumor has it that the iPhone 12 Pro will have a new 3D lidar sensor to support AR technology. This sensor was first introduced in the latest iPad Pro. However, due to new rumors, the certainty can only be seen on October 13th.

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), aka “Auntie Maxine,” blasted President Trump on Saturday during a speech at the Women’s Convention in Detroit, calling him “indecent and deplorable” and “the most dishonorable and despicable human being to ever serve in the office of the president,” while also leading chants of “Impeach 45!”
“This is a man with no good values, no good intentions and no good respect,” Waters said. “We cannot afford to be shut down or shut up by any man, particularly not one as indecent and deplorable as Donald Trump.”
Waters led the crowd of 4,000 activists in a chant of “Impeach 45!” according to the Huffington Post.
“Donald Trump is the most dishonorable and despicable human being to ever serve in the office of the president,” Waters said to a standing ovation.
The Hill added:
Waters is well-known for her harsh statements against Trump, including her claim that she could “guarantee” the president was actively colluding with Russia.
Waters is the featured speaker at the convention after Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) gave up his spot to visit Puerto Rico as it recovers from Hurricane Maria.

Biological and Biophysical Characterisation of Peptide Toxins in Pathogenic Fungi
Pathogenic fungi are a relentless threat to human health and the global impact of invasive fungal infections on healthcare regimens is of major concern. Understanding how fungal pathogens cause disease is of paramount importance. We have identified a novel panel of peptide toxins in several medically relevant fungal pathogens. A cross-disciplinary approach will be used to characterise the role of selected peptide toxins in fungal pathogenicity using a combination of biological, cellular and biophysical techniques. This PhD project will significantly advance our understanding of fungal infections and create future avenues of therapeutic intervention.

A few of the passengers sensed the speed was too high. But they barely had time to register its implications before the driver of the Amtrak train, just 11 minutes out of Philadelphia, reached for the emergency brake. Three seconds later, the engine had slowed just a fraction as the rails began their curve to the left.
The first jolt was followed by another, and then a wave of bone-shaking vibration. By now all the passengers on Northeast Regional train 118, running along the busiest rail corridor in the US, knew something was terribly wrong.
The train was still hurtling at more than 100 mph, more than twice the limit for the curve, as the force of the speed drove 97 tonnes of locomotive straight ahead and off the tracks. The engine bumped over the rails and down an embankment. The carriages immediately behind lifted into the air, then twisted on to their sides as they were dragged bumping along the ground.
Many of the 238 passengers and five crew were flung about the carriages, to the sound of ripping metal. Computers and phones flew around, smashing into people. Seats were torn from their fittings.
Those in the front carriages had it the worst. Jillian Jorgensen, 27, was in the second one behind the engine. She told the Associated Press the train was going “fast enough for me to be worried”. When it came off the tracks, she was thrown out of her seat and “flew across the train”.
“It was terrifying and awful, and as it was happening it just did not feel like the kind of thing you could walk away from, so I feel very lucky,” she said. “The scene in the car I was in was total disarray and people were clearly in a great deal of pain.”
Some people got jammed in the luggage rack as the train tossed to one side. Others were trapped by the crumpled metalwork.
“My mother flew into me and I literally had to catch her,” Max Helfman, a 19-year-old from New Jersey, told NBC News. “People were bleeding from their head. It was awful ... I’m still shocked this even happened.”

The locomotive came to rest upright, stopped by another set of railway tracks which buckled into an arc as they absorbed the force. By then it was separated from the carriages. The one closest to the front was mangled; it is likely to be where most of the at least seven who died were sitting. Some other passengers are still not accounted for.
The dead included Rachel Jacobs, who was travelling home from her new job in Philadelphia as chief executive of an educational software start-up; Jim Gaines, a video software architect for the Associated Press; and Justin Zemser, a student at the US naval academy.
By the time the train came to a halt, the lights had gone out. It was close to 9.30pm and dark. Some who had managed to hold on to their phones used them as torches as the scramble to get out began.
The survivors emerged with broken ribs, punctured lungs and head injuries, overwhelmed by shock. Some were carried out unconscious and laid next to the tracks. When they came to, they had little idea what had happened.
“I don’t remember anything,” Rebecca Bibb told CNN. “I did not hear any noise, did not see anything. When I started hearing people, I was on the side [of the crash scene], and someone told me I’d been delirious and that they had carried me off.”
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) was on the scene within hours. One of its investigators, Robert Sumwalt, said the team would be looking at the track, the signals, the brakes and the mechanical condition of the train. But the most immediate questions were for the driver, Brandon Bostian, who survived the crash.
Sumwalt said the train had been travelling at 106mph as it approached the curve. The speed limit on the straight piece of track in the lead-up to the bend is 80mph, and the engine was supposed to have slowed to 50mph by the time it entered the curve. Instead it was down to just 102mph after Bostian hit the emergency brake in a futile effort to stop an engine that at that speed takes close to a mile to come to a halt.
Philadelphia’s mayor, Michael Nutter, was shocked on being told of the speed of the train, calling it “astounding, devastating”.
“One-hundred six miles per hour in a 50mph zone ... that’s just insane,” he said.
The NTSB will want to know if the driver was distracted or sick as the train accelerated far beyond the speed limit and approached the curve without any attempt to slow until the very last seconds.
Bostian, perhaps sensing the shadow of a lynch mob after Nutter accused him of being “reckless and irresponsible in his actions” before the investigation had barely begun, declined to give the police a formal statement until he had a lawyer. CNN pronounced that he was being “uncooperative” with the authorities and hinted it was evidence of guilt.
Amtrak crash: doctor says many passengers still disoriented.
But once Bostian had a lawyer, the attorney, Robert Goggin, said the 32-year-old New York resident was doing his best to cooperate but was injured in the crash, suffering head and leg injuries, and had trouble remembering.
“He remembers driving the train, he remembers going to that area generally, has absolutely no recollection of the incident or anything unusual,” Goggin told ABC. “The next thing he recalls is being thrown around, coming to, finding his bag, getting his cellphone and dialing 911.”
Goggin said Bostian was distraught at the news that people were killed.
Although the police pressed for an immediate statement, Sumwalt said Bostian had just survived a terrible crash and the NTSB could wait a few days to talk to him.
“This person has gone through a very traumatic event and we want to give him an opportunity to convalesce for a day or two,” he said. “But that is certainly a very high priority for us.”
There were also questions about whether others bear some responsibility, after Sumwalt said the accident could probably have been prevented by a safety system which prevents trains from speeding but which has yet to be installed on the part of the line where the derailment occurred.
“Based on what we know right now we feel that had such a system been installed on this section of track, this accident would not have occurred,” he said.

McDaniels in focus as Colts visit Patriots
Thursday night’s battle in Foxborough, Mass., between the Indianapolis Colts (1-3) and New England Patriots (2-2) was supposed to be a clash of pupil vs. mentor: Josh McDaniels vs. Bill Belichick.
Instead, McDaniels and Belichick will be on the same sideline, opposite the man who benefited after McDaniels backed out of an agreement in February to be the Colts’ next head coach.
“Certainly very glad about that,” said Colts coach Frank Reich, who helped the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Patriots in Super Bowl LII before getting hired as Indy general manager Chris Ballard’s second choice. “It’s a funny league, strange circumstances, lotta things out of my control. …Thankful for the opportunity I have.”
Ballard famously declared, “The rivalry is back on,” after McDaniels reneged, but when asked Monday, he dismissed the idea that the matchup carries any extra juice.
“Not at all,” Ballard said. “It’s just another game, and it’s the New England Patriots, and we’re happy to go play on Thursday night.”
Being “happy” to play on a Thursday is relative, as these two banged-up squads have very little time to get healthy. Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski has missed practices this week after re-injuring his ankle Sunday against the Miami Dolphins, and cornerback Eric Rowe (groin) missed Tuesday’s session after being limited Monday and sitting out vs. Miami.
Whether or not Gronkowski plays, New England’s offense will get back wideout Julian Edelman, who just finished serving a four-game PED suspension. Tom Brady, who has completed 397 career passes to Edelman, isn’t worried about any rust from the wideout’s absence.
“I think we’ve played so much football together,” Brady said. “I really have no doubt where he’s going to be at, what he’s capable of.”
Ever the gamesman, Belichick sounded less sure of Edelman’s ability to contribute in his first game back.
“I don’t know,” Belichick said when asked what Edelman will bring. “He hasn’t been here in a month and it’s a short week. We’ll just have to see how things work out.”
Colts top target T.Y. Hilton, however, will miss the contest after injuring his chest and hamstring in Sunday’s overtime loss. The Colts will be counting on several receivers who stepped up in Hilton’s absence against the Texans: Chester Rogers, Ryan Grant and Zach Pascal combined for 19 catches, 205 yards and a score.
“As far as gameplanning, we have a lot of confidence in the next guy up,” Reich said. “I think that showed this past week — when T.Y. went out, we still were able to move the ball well.
“…So we’ll miss T.Y., but at the same time, you’ve just gotta have the next-man-up mentality.”
Other next men up will be needed. A whopping 16 Colts were on Tuesday’s injury report, including 11 listed as DNP. The latter group comprises six players who have started every game this season (Hilton, C Ryan Kelly, LB Darius Leonard, CBs Kenny Moore and Nate Hairston, S Clayton Geathers), three others who have started at least one game (TE Jack Doyle, CB Quincy Wilson, RT Denzelle Good) and kicker Adam Vinatieri.
Given all the injuries, and a short week following a 70-minute contest against the Texans, Reich decided to hold only a walkthrough on Tuesday, meaning the Colts won’t have an actual practice before playing the Patriots.
“[It’s] most important to take care of the guys physically and just really get focused in mentally on what we’re gonna do,” he said.

The manufacturing industry is a hugely competitive market, and it’s continuing to grow year after year. One of the ways that organisations have been able to keep up with the changing landscape is ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning).
Manufacturing ERP systems tackle several challenges faced within the industry, helping to streamline processes, reduce costs and gain an advantage over competitors.
In this blog post, we’re going to look at how a modern manufacturing ERP system can help benefit you and your business.
Growing organisations will find that as time progresses so will the need for a system that can help handle operations that become complex and difficult to manage manually. By streamlining these processes businesses can become more efficient, productive and reduce costs in several areas within their organisation.
ERP systems are best implemented and are most successful when feedback is factored into the decision-making process. The reason is that all team members who are going to use the system should help in selecting an option that’s the best fit for you, them and your entire team. Good team communication is crucial within the manufacturing industry. An ERP system that can effectively tie together communications between departments into one unified system is key.
There are many ways in which an ERP system can help reduce business costs. Firstly, there’s the money saved from automating manual tasks, streamlining the process further and boosting efficiency with access to real-time data. This, in turn, increases worker productivity which helps minimise labour expenses. Secondly, inventory management helps eliminate excess stock and therefore erase unnecessary warehousing costs. All in all, management have a complete helicopter view of where savings can be made within the business.
Real-time data is available in abundance within ERP systems. Insights such as detailed reporting, KPI measurement and forecasting allow decision makers to access and act upon the information before them. Managers can grasp a whole view of data that helps them plan further ahead and spot any potential opportunities available.
Strategic Decision Making
As mentioned, real-time data provides the key statistics which decision makers can utilise, but it doesn’t stop there. Access to these key metrics can help every corner and department of the businesses, not just with instant decision making, but helping to keep manufacturing companies fully aligned to their goals, optimising their day to day operations fully.
Customer satisfaction is hugely important, and for many, the best possible result for their efforts is providing a product that receives excellent customer feedback. Whether you’re a third-party supplier, or you deliver straight to your customer, making sure you produce a product of high-quality, on-time and to specification is essential in maintaining customer satisfaction.
If you’re in the manufacturing industry and need an ERP system to help push your business growth forward in 2018, then get in touch with Oakley ERP today.

3 - 21 October 2011 (Papua New Guinea, Samoa)
In October 2011, the Asian Disaster Reduction Center visited the Pacific countries, Papua New Guinea and Samoa in order to make interviews at NDMOs and relevant organizations and affected areas of past disasters over their DRM systems and activities. Faced with various disaster risks such as volcano, earthquake and tsunami, and cyclone, both countries have taken proactive measures especially in risk assessment, early warning and public awareness.
On 11 October, International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction was observed in Papua New Guinea, hosted by ADRC counterpart, National Disaster Center (NDC), ISDR and UNDP. The event, supported by related agencies and NGOs, turned out to be successful attracting some 500 participants including school children. Also in Samoa, public awareness efforts have been extended in the wake of 2009 tsunami catastrophe.

Banks are closed, online payments are blocked and Greece’s economy is on the verge of collapse. The perfect opportunity for a decentralized currency, envisioned by its backers for situations just like these.
Indeed, according to CNNMoney, Greeks have in fact been flocking to bitcoin exchanges in the hopes of getting their hands on some sort of money.
Until now, there has been much rhetoric in online forums on Bitcoin’s virtues during such times. There has also been a healthy dose of ‘critique’ of our conventional monetary systems. It has even been theorized that Greece should adopt bitcoin as a currency. But we haven’t seen much evidence of Greeks actually getting up and buying bitcoins, although the recent rally in prices does suggest a correlation.
According to the report, however, a number of exchanges have reported markedly increased activity from Greek residents. German exchange Bitcoin.de said ten times as many Greeks have registered to trade bitcoins than usual. And trades from Greek clients on Bitstamp have reportedly spiked by 79% from their 10-week average. China-based LakeBTC reported a 40% increase from Greece-based users.
Bitcoin vs. Gold: Which is a Better Buy this Fall?Go to article >>
Over the weekend, Polish exchange Bitcurex was ‘flooded’ with email inquiries from Greeks. Among their questions: “Is Bitcoin a legal currency in EU?”, “Can I use Bitcurex as a bank account?” and “Do you have a Bitcoin ATM network in Greece?” The exchange’s homepage is now branded with a three month promotion waiving trading fees for Greek customers: “No Fees for Greece.”
Coinbase has also waived its fees for euro-based bitcoin buying until after next week’s referendum.
The problem is that it is not easy to buy bitcoins, especially in Greece, and especially if the banks are shut down. The most common method of funding an account is via wire transfer. There is only one bitcoin ATM in Greece, in a bookstore in Athens, and you need cash to use it.
There are also not many places where bitcoin can be spent; only a half dozen places accept it, according to the report.

Despite being the most digitally savvy generation to enter the workforce yet, your Gen Z hires are probably more terrified of artificial intelligence stealing their jobs than your more senior (and perhaps, less technologically advanced) baby boomers.
That’s according to Indeed’s AI boss, at least—and she has data to back it up.
The globally renowned recruitment company surveyed over 3,500 leaders and 3,743 job seekers across the U.K., the U.S., Canada, India, France, Japan and Germany, and found that while a quarter of job seekers overall are fearful about the impact of AI at work, this jumps to over 30% for respondents between 18 and 24 years old.
In comparison, for those over 45 years old, the percentage of those who are afraid drops to under 15%.
“My hypothesis is that older workers have seen this story before. They lived through the rise of the PC, they lived through the rise of the internet,” Hannah Calhoon, Indeed’s head of AI innovation tells Fortune.
Put yourselves in Gen Z’s shoes: Imagine entering the job market, full of hope for the future career that lies ahead of you, only to hear from the likes of the investment bank Goldman Sachs that AI could replace the equivalent of 300 million full-time jobs globally in the coming years.
It’s no wonder that the newest generation of workers—the oldest of whom are 27 years old—feel threatened.
Separate research from the student essay writing website EduBirdie found that 3 in 5 Gen Zers are worried that they’ll be out of a job thanks to AI within the decade—and 10% think that could even happen as soon as this year.
However, seasoned workers who have weathered past workplace disruptions, know that ultimately, things will turn out fine—whether or not their job is listed as most at risk of being nabbed by AI.
“They understand that with these large technological transformations, change is going to happen, but that while those changes might lead to a shuffling of jobs or different job descriptions, they can adapt,” Calhoon adds. “Younger workers just haven’t been through this before—it’s new and it’s uncertain, so it’s a little bit scary.”
Remember: Computers were once scary
Just like the AI frenzy we are witnessing right now, workers of a certain age may remember the palpable fear when computers first burst on the scene in the 1980s.
“These can take such forms as fear of physically touching the computer or of damaging it and what’s inside it, a reluctance to read or talk about computers, feeling threatened by those who do know something about them, feeling that you can be replaced by a machine, become a slave to it, or feeling aggressive towards computers,” the 1996 book Women and Computers detailed.
Today, these concerns seem quite irrational—and it’s a good reminder that our worst fears about technology have seldom materialized.
Since the explosion of the PC (and then the internet, the Cloud, social media and so on) most professions have undergone a digital rebrand.
Copywriters now use a laptop instead of a typewriter; designers rely on Adobe Photoshop instead of a pen and paper; and a plethora of IT roles were created along the way.
This same principle can be applied to AI.
Despite predicting that “repetitive, white-collar jobs” will be the first to go thanks to AI, and putting a pause on hiring any replaceable roles, even IBM CEO Arvind Krishna says that the technology will create far more jobs than it eliminates.
“People mistake productivity with job displacement,” he said at the Fortune CEO Initiative conference. “In 1995, no one thought there would be 5 million web designers—there are.”
Instead of fearing ChatGPT and its brethren, young new workers would be better off getting to grips with large language models because if history shows anything, it’s that one day people will be unable to imagine their job without it.
“The best thing you can do is get hands-on with this technology and start to understand how it can be useful and applied to your life,” Calhoon says.
“Really start to play with the technology and see are there ways where it can make you more effective, more efficient at your job?”

Opinion: UWAC is committed to diversity
This week’s writer is Helena Van Voorst, executive director of the United Way of Addison County. This originally appeared in a UWAC newsletter.
UWAC’s mission to “mobilize the generosity and compassion of individuals and organizations in Addison County to improve lives and strengthen the community” calls for our board and staff to be equity leaders. Advocating for the health, education, and financial stability of everyone in Addison County is what we’ve done for 52 years — but we still have room for growth in how we approach this important work, specifically as it relates to racial equity.
Recent events have exposed how systemic racism, prejudice and privilege across every sector get in the way of United Way accomplishing its mission. UWAC’s board and staff are committed to the ongoing work of being an anti-racist organization. With leadership from Middlebury College’s Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, we will invite local nonprofits to join us in learning what critical reflective conversations must be had regarding our personal and institutional biases, a first step to dismantling barriers to access, opportunity, and full participation. (More information on this learning opportunity to follow.)
When COVID-19 reached Vermont, many of the systems we relied on to care for our community suddenly didn’t work anymore. Innovation was demanded of UWAC and of every one of our nonprofit partners in order to continue helping the people who needed us the most. Waiting was not an option. New collaborations, programs, and resources formed almost overnight — and they worked! Together, as a network of nonprofits made stronger by your commitment to United Way, we (virtually) linked arms, overcame old barriers, tried new things, and ultimately realized tremendous impact during a pandemic that strained our health and human services providers in unprecedented ways.
And with that energy we must continue innovating to bring racial equity to Addison County because, once again, waiting is not an option — now is the time. We know that people of color were disproportionately impacted by COVID-19. We know that white people are drastically underrepresented in Vermont’s prisons and jails compared to people of color. We know that nonprofit leadership lacks racial diversity — UWAC included. In the months ahead, we will share more about this journey and how UWAC plans to, once again, link arms with other organizations engaged and/or leading in this work to make lasting change in Addison County.

Several developers with years of experience have announced their formation of a new studio. The new group, Fun Machine, will focus on building titles on their own technology for platforms such as iOS, Android, Smart TVs and tablet computers.
"The next generation of gaming isn't going to come on a disc or be bought in a store. It's going to be downloaded and streamed to every screen in your household - and in your pocket - in the blink of an eye," says Patrick Curry, CEO.
Already seeing some success, Fun Machine's Awesome Eats has pushed past 800,000 downloads on the iPad and iPhone. The team hopes to expand the available launch platforms in the near future.
"Smart phones and tablets are changing the video game industry in fundamental ways," says Curry. "Forthcoming smart TVs are going to complete the transformation, creating a single ecosystem that lets you play games across small, medium and large screens. We're creating games that play within this ecosystem, and the technologies that let them."
The team has a wide variety of experience, with CEO Patrick Curry coming Wideload Games where he served as VP and creative director until it was purchased by Disney Interactive. Studio director Michael Hadwin and creative director Neill Glancy both come from Disney Interactive's Junction Point Studios where both held executive positions. The team's VP of product development, Stephen Palmer, worked on Borderlands with Gearbox Software.
"This is an exciting time to be creating games and original intellectual properties," said Hadwin, Fun Machine's President and Studio Director. "Our technology lets us focus on innovative ideas and instantly test them across several platforms and devices. One lesson from the console industry that still holds true: iteration and polish always win."

That’s the first thing that comes to mind when walking into the sunken dining room of Giada, a vegan-friendly restaurant in Las Vegas on the Las Vegas Strip. Your eyes travel across the airy, modern decor and finally to the massive floor-to-ceiling windows, exposing an amazing view of the Las Vegas Strip.
You can’t help but think to yourself, “Vegas, baby!”
(Tip: make reservations and ask for a seat by windows, thanks us later.)
Las Vegas Vegan-Friendly Restaurant: Giada
Giada is the debut restaurant for celebrity chef and Food Network star Giada De Laurentiis, located inside the adults-only The Cromwell Hotel Las Vegas. Note: the restaurant is open to all ages. It’s California-meets-Italy at this vegan-friendly Las Vegas restaurant.
Vegan options at Giada
The first thing you’ll need to try at Giada are the complimentary rosemary focaccia loaves. Seriously.
These aren’t any dinner rolls; they’re little bites of Italian goodness.
We soak ours in olive oil and herbs – as you should at any Italian restaurant, right? It’s warm, squishy and topped with a touch of sea salt. Heaven.
Then, it’s on the appetizer: marinated olives. The colorful, earthy olives come complete with a whiff of citrus and juniper and a touch of vinegar and salt.
Next, munch on a light and flavorful arugula salad with not-just-any olive oil dressing. This is Luchini olive oil, the only variety allowed in the restaurant.
One of the vegan entrées at GIADA is bucatini with vegan pomodoro sauce, twirled and coiled to perfection. Be sure to specify vegan so they hold the cheeses.
The no-egg pasta soaks up a light Calabrian chile pomodoro sauce with tomatoes, peppers, garlic and carrots — no drowning noodles here! So simple and modern, yet so divine.
The other vegan option for your main course is the eggplant tower. This stack of sliced, oregano-encrusted eggplant baked in the oven comes layered with pomodoro sauce and avocado. (There’s that California influence Giada is known for!)
When it comes to sides, there are also lots of veggie options. Simply let your server know you’re vegan so there’s no cheese or butter.
Try the zucchini served scapece-style with spun golden potatoes and pomodoro sauce.
Finally, save room for gelato for dessert. These aren’t your typical gelato flavors – this is Giada we’re talking about here! The rotating flavors include raspberry chamomile and blackberry merlot.
The Cromwell Hotel Las Vegas , 3595 S. Las Vegas Blvd., 89109, 855-442-3271, Thurs. – Sun.: 5 – 10 p.m.

The increasing complexity of microelectronics/ engineering devices and the requirement for higher yields and automated production systems place stringent demands on the assembly techniques and performance requirements of materials, machining and joining techniques. This has led to increasing interest in the use of low power lasers for machining, welding, soldering and marking of small assemblies. Of particular interest to micro-component industries is the ability of such lasers to apply controlled amounts of energy in precise areas, utilizing extremely low heat input, resulting in very low distortion, and coupled with the ability to operate at high production rates in a flexible manner. The majority of these applications comprise thin materials, less than 1mm thickness. This paper describes some of the cutting, joining, drilling and marking results achieved with a high beam quality low power pulsed Nd: YAG laser.

The Rivian company has attracted around $ 12 billion in its IPO.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has commented on his rival’s public offer for sale Rivian, which has allowed him to become the second automotive manufacturer by market value after his company.
The electric truck maker managed to attract some 12 billion of dollars in its IPO on November 10, registering a record 7-year IPO for the US.
“I hope they are able to achieve high production and a balanced cash flow. It’s a real test“Musk wrote on his Twitter account.
I hope they’re able to achieve high production & breakeven cash flow. That is the true test. There have been hundreds of automotive startups, both electric & combustion, but Tesla is only American carmaker to reach high volume production & positive cash flow in past 100 years.
– Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 11, 2021
The founder of Tesla, valued at more than a trillion dollars, noted in his comment that his company “is the sole automaker American that has reached a high volume of production and a positive cash flow in the last 100 years “, among a large number of manufacturers, both conventional and electric cars.
Rivian, with a current capitalization of $ 110 billion, reported last month losses of nearly $ 1 billion in the first half of the year.
Founded in 2009, the company has developed the first R1T electric truck, the first unit of which left the Normal (Illinois, USA) factory. Deliveries will begin in January 2022 and the initial price of the vehicle, capable of traveling 505 kilometers on a single charge, will be $ 67,500.

Flowcamper, a German company known for its distinctive and functional camper vans, has introduced an innovative solution for pet owners who love to travel with their furry friends. The VW T6.1-based Dog Van, officially named “Fellschnute,” reflects a thoughtful approach to making road trips more comfortable and enjoyable for both dogs and their owners.
The concept of the Dog Van is not entirely new. It traces its origins to the Dogscamper, developed by Flowcamper’s former sister company Terracamper. After Terra and Flow split to focus on their unique product lines, Martin Hemp, the original founder, continued to lead Flowcamper, refining the Dogscamper concept into what is now known as the Dog Van.
Flowcamper’s design philosophy for the Fellschnute Dog Van is centered on canine comfort and safety, addressing the common challenges pet owners face when traveling with dogs in conventional vehicles. Traditionally, dogs are either uncomfortably squeezed into passenger areas, relegated to lonely rides in pickup beds, or confined in cramped crates. The Dog Van offers a refreshing alternative, with a design that prioritizes both human and canine needs.
The camper van is built on a modular floor rail system, a staple in many of Flowcamper’s designs. However, the Dog Van uniquely divides the floor plan into separate areas for dogs and humans. For the canine section, Flowcamper provides customizable panels allowing for a variety of configurations. The maximum kennel size of 43 x 51 x 30 inches (109 x 130 x 75 cm) is notably larger than conventional crates, offering dogs more space and comfort. Additionally, the kennel features both interior and tailgate-facing doors, making it easy for pets to enter and exit the van.
The versatility of the Dog Van is evident in its accommodation capabilities. It can transport one to four dogs, depending on the kennel layout, and carry two to five human occupants. For sleeping arrangements, the van includes a fold-out bed measuring 47 x 74 inches (120 x 187 cm) and an optional pop-up roof bed of similar dimensions.
Beyond the kennel, the Fellschnute Dog Van boasts features that cater to both human and canine needs. The 18-liter fresh water system, which serves both the kitchen and rear hookups, is a prime example. The hand shower, which can be used for dishwashing or cleaning pets and gear, highlights the van’s dual-function design. The kitchen area itself is thoughtfully laid out, with a dual-burner gas stove, a 30-liter compressor fridge/freezer, and a utensil drawer.
For comfort in warmer climates, Flowcamper offers a portable air conditioner designed to cool the crate area by approximately 15 degrees. This system, powered by a 400-watt solar charging setup, is particularly beneficial for pets on hot days. Additionally, the van includes a dry separating toilet for humans, while pets are encouraged to use the outdoors for their needs.
Pricing for the Fellschnute Dog Van varies based on the chosen configuration. The base model starts at approximately €70,900 (US$77,775), with mid-level and 4Motion AWD versions priced at €73,900 and €80,900 ($88,745), respectively. These prices are based on the VW T6.1 base van and include the human-ready camping hardware. However, the cost of the customizable dog area is not included in these figures, as it depends on the specific design chosen by the customer.

An Arsenal collapse at Anfield set the stage for a fantastic day for Chelsea, and Jose Mourinho's side took full advantage. Newcastle looked better than most would have expected, but Eden Hazard made sure that no performance would have been good enough on Saturday.
Two brilliant first half strikes had Chelsea looking comfortable at the break, rightfully so given their recent defensive form. The only burning question involving the match when the second half kicked off involved just how long Mohamed Salah's inevitable Chelsea debut would be.
After Samuel Eto'o was dragged down in the box on a corner attempt, Frank Lampard stepped aside to allow Hazard to take the kick. Just like that, it was 3-0 Chelsea, with Hazard completing his hat trick.
Salah got his debut with just over 10 minutes to play, coming on for Willian in the 78th minute. Despite having a couple of excellent chances on the counter-attack, that debut finished without a goal. It was fun though, and his movement was generally quite good.
Here are a few thoughts while we all celebrate being back atop the Premier League table, following Arsenal's loss and Manchester City's draw:
- We all owe Brendan Rodgers a big thank you, for destroying Arsenal's GD. It's just too bad they missed enough easy chances to prevent them putting a double-digit total past Arsene Wenger's side.
- Having some semblance of quality depth in the midfield is fun, isn't it? A rested Ramires should be fun to watch down the stretch. Bringing back Nemanja Matic is starting to look like a brilliant idea.
- Eden Hazard is really good at this football thing.
- You have to love Frank Lampard allowing Hazard to take that penalty instead of padding his Chelsea-record total. Well played, Frank.
- Salah certainly showed some nerves today, hopefully having his debut out of the way will help alleviate those in the future.

January 13th, 2012
10:59 AM ET
By Josh Levs, CNN
(CNN) - The race for the Republican presidential nomination is on track to break new ground: For the first time in modern political history - some say ever - the GOP nominee could be someone who is not a Protestant Christian.
Front-runner Mitt Romney is Mormon, as is Jon Huntsman. Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich are Catholics.
The only two Protestants in the race are Rick Perry and Ron Paul. Paul had strong finishes in the nominating contests so far but most political experts and Republican establishment figures say he is not favored to win the nomination ultimately. Perry has finished near the end of the pack so far but is hoping for a strong finish in the next-in-line South Carolina primary.
Neither major party has ever had a Mormon nominee. John F. Kennedy, a Democrat, was the only Catholic president.
Democrats have also nominated John Kerry, a Catholic, and Michael Dukakis, who is Greek Orthodox, but the overwhelming majority of Democratic presidential nominees have been Protestant.
Experts who follow the intersection of religion and politics say this year’s crop of Republican candidates reflects the changing electorate, the lasting significance of a Supreme Court decision, and shifting forces within American Christianity.
“Catholicism has been almost fully absorbed into the American mainstream,” says William Galston, senior fellow with the Brookings Institution.
While Kennedy faced questions from some voters over whether he would take orders from the pope, that kind of skepticism is virtually unheard of today, Galston says.
“The more interesting question is Mormonism. Because in many Protestants’ eyes, Mormons today stand roughly where Catholics did 60 years ago. They are suspect.”
But Romney, with his “unblemished personal life,” is in a unique position to help guide Mormonism into the mainstream of American politics, Galston says.
Presidential historian Douglas Brinkley says Americans have achieved enough comfort with Mormonism to make room for a possible Romney presidency.
“Are we ready for a Mormon president? I think the answer is yes,” Brinkley says.
The Mormon population is growing quickly, and more and more people have Mormon friends, he says. “It’s no longer a fringe group growing up. It’s a powerful and important religion.”
Mormons have been recruiting Southern Baptists and Methodists to join their fold, making inroads in communities across the country and raising money, Brinkley says. “The Mormon Church is booming when some of the other denominations are struggling for cash and converts.”
Mark Silk, professor of religion in public life at Trinity College, says most American voters are “prepared to think about people who are not Protestant to be president.”
The GOP field of candidates this year is “mostly happenstance” – the contenders did not rise to the front of the pack because of their religions, Silk says. But the fact that their faiths don’t seem to be hampering their chances shows “real growth in the acceptance of religious pluralism since World War II.”
There’s also a broad political force helping bond voters across different denominations.
“In the past generation, denominational differences or religious differences have become less important than the split between modernism and traditionalism within each religion,” says Galston.
“So at this point, traditional Mormons, evangelical Protestants and conservative Catholics have more in common with one another politically than they do with the more liberal elements within their respective churches.”
That break has been furthered as the issues that guide many voters’ decisions have changed over the past few decades.
“One of the big things that’s happened since the 1970s is that a lot of cultural issues have moved from the private realm to the public stage,” Galston says. “That’s happened whether it’s been abortion or gay marriage or the treatment of private schools by the IRS.”
It’s happened “much more explicitly on the conservative side than it has on the more liberal side,” Galston says.
The Supreme Court’s 1973 decision in Roe v. Wade, which said women have a constitutional right to an abortion, was a turning point.
Before that ruling, Catholics were a solid, reliable Democratic voting block, “one of the most powerful constituencies in the Democratic party,” says Brinkley.
The Vatican opposes abortion rights. And as the Democratic Party became largely supportive of the Supreme Court’s decision, the Republican Party won over Catholics who disagreed with it.
“It turned a lot of Catholic groups from Democratic to Republican,” Brinkley says. “It flipped them.”
People within each denomination who support abortion rights and take liberal stances on numerous issues, meanwhile, have formed similar bonds on the Democratic side, with religious denominations themselves playing little role, the analysts said.
About half the U.S. population is Protestant. The American Religious Identification Survey from Trinity College, published in 2009, found Protestants are 51% of the U.S. population, while Catholics are 25%. Mormons are at 1.4%, just behind Jews at 1.8%. Muslims comprise 0.3% of the population.
While a Mormon or Catholic nominee would be a first for the GOP, there’s some disagreement over whether he would be the first “non-Protestant” ever, or just the first in generations.
A December article for rollcall.com said “Gingrich’s nomination would make him the first non-Protestant to be nominated for president by the GOP.” A 2000 Slate article headlined “The Protestant Presidency” said Kennedy was the only non-Protestant “ever elected president.”
But Silk noted that it isn’t clear exactly how to characterize Abraham Lincoln’s religious affiliation.
The first Republican president “didn’t belong to any church, wouldn’t have described himself as a Protestant,” Silk said. At the same time, Lincoln expressed a deep belief in a God who is active in history.
Adherents.com keeps a list of the presidents’ religions. Four presidents were Unitarians, a movement that grew our of Protestant Christianity. Two presidents were Quakers, a group that is connected to Protestantism.
While the analysts CNN spoke to agree that the GOP field this year reflects the country’s religious pluralism, it remains centered only on Christian denominations, setting aside the question of whether Mormonism fits a traditional definition of Christian.
Just how much of a chance a candidate of another religion would have at the presidency is another question.
Some believe that Joe Lieberman, the Democratic vice presidential nominee in 2000 who ran for the party’s nomination in 2004, was not hampered by being Jewish. “I don’t think that the classic triad Catholic-Protestant-Jew makes a difference at all,” said Galston. “Joe Lieberman’s candidacy foundered, but not because he was Jewish.”
But there has never been a Jewish presidential nominee. And just how a Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, or member of any other religion would fare is another question.
For some voters, the denominations of the candidates continue to be a relevant factor, the analysts said. Last May, a survey by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life found that about one-third of white evangelical Protestants would be less likely to vote for a Mormon.
In Iowa, CNN entrance polls show that born-again or evangelical Christians supported Santorum, a Catholic, well over Romney.
In New Hampshire, CNN exit polls from the Republican primary show that Catholics and Protestants both chose Romney over the competition. More Catholics – like voters in general - supported the two Mormon candidates, Romney and Huntsman, than the two Catholic candidates, Gingrich and Santorum.
Paul, for his part, came in second in New Hampshire, and placed second among Protestants and tied with Huntsman for second among Catholics.
Analysts agree that a candidate who does not believe in God would be quickly rejected by voters nationwide – even if he or she was raised Christian.
“Whether anyone would accept a professed out of the closet atheist, no,” said Galston. “You’d probably have a better chance as a former member of the Taliban.”

As the UK property market’s prices continue to break all-time records for the fourth consecutive month, it is no surprise that records in other areas of the market have also been broken – with 40% of sales agreed in June coming in at over the original property asking price; the highest percentage on record.
Whilst the average number of sales agreed in June was slightly lower than in May, this is still the most robust performance for June over the last four years, as the UK property market continues to outperform itself in the wake of the stamp duty holiday. The UK economy is also set to boom over the next six months as Covid restrictions have now fully lifted, and life has begun to return to normal. The implications of life returning to how it was pre-pandemic have positively benefited the UK property market, and buyer demand continues to remain strong despite the end of the stamp duty holiday nearing, according to NAEA Propertymark.
As buyer demand continues to increase, the number of properties available on the market is steadily declining, with estate agents having only an average of 23 properties available for sale – the lowest on record for two consecutive months, beating out last month’s 25 properties. With an average of 19 buyers in the market for every one property, the staggering undersupply of property throughout the UK has caused house prices to increase across the country throughout the last six months. Throughout this time, property prices in the UK have risen by an average of £21,000 since the beginning of 2021.
According to mortgage broker John Charcol, the latest research in the market has found that 20% of those living in the UK who did not purchase a property in the last 12 months are eager to buy in the coming year. This market insight, coupled with the record-low interest rates currently offered by lenders, is set to further fuel the incredible buyer demand in the market currently and well into 2022, with the property market consistently outperforming all other investment assets.
Throughout the economic uncertainty of 2020, the property industry has consistently proved itself to be the most stable investment asset despite three lockdowns. It has continued to provide financial security to investors throughout this time.

A Ukrainian official collapsed when she told the trauma the people of her city had to endure during a 35-day occupation by invading Russian troops. Maryna Beschastna, the official deputy mayor of Ivankiv, claimed in an interview that two sisters, aged 15 and 16, had been raped by Russian soldiers.
“There was a case in a village, two sisters were raped… girls aged 15 and 16… children. Women were pulled out of their cellars by their hair so they could abuse them,” Ms Beschastna said. ITV News.
She added that young girls in Ukraine have started cutting their hair to look “less attractive” and to avoid being raped by the Russians.
The reported rapes took place when Russian forces occupied the suburb of Kiev, now reconnected to the rest of the country, thanks to a new pontoon bridge built by the Ukrainian military to replace the destroyed bridge. ITV said.
Some residents of Ivankiv also shared their trauma during the month-long occupation.
Among them was a Ukrainian woman who told how she desperately tried to save her 12-year-old son who was fatally struck by shrapnel.
The woman, Elena Skoropad, said she and her husband, Sasha, took their son Artem to a hospital after a cluster munition exploded.
“On the way here in the car, Artem was shouting ‘Mama, Sasha, I love you’ all the time,” Ms. Skoropad said. ITV†
“These were his words, but he kept saying his legs hurt, his back hurt. When we brought him [to the hospital] he was still alive, but then the injuries were incompatible with life,” she added.
The schoolboy was an avid basketball player, Artem’s mother said.
Earlier this week, Ukrainian officials revealed death and destruction in Bucha, another town near the capital. Russian troops withdrew from the Kiev region about a week ago to regroup in the east, leaving scenes of death and horror in the commuter towns around the capital.
Zelensky challenged the United Nations to “act immediately” or “dissolve yourself completely” during a speech in which he showed harrowing images of dead bodies – including children – whom he believes had been victims of Russian atrocities.
On Thursday, he described the situation in Borodianka, another city near Kiev. “It is much more horrible there, there are even more victims of Russian occupiers.”
Ukraine has accused the Russians of executing hundreds of peaceful civilians during their occupation of these cities. The bodies of some of these civilians were discovered with their hands tied behind their backs.

Research the definition of propaganda. Notice the historical context in which each piece was created, its intended audience, and how politics and culture influenced its design. Analyze how the designer used different design principles (consider color, space, balance, unity, and more) to convey a certain message. Pay careful attention to what that message was intended to be.
Create a poster using a pre-1950's propaganda style to persuade audiences to do one of the following:
2.Use alternative forms of energy
3.Anti-bullying of high school students
You might wish to research current artist Shepard Fairey for inspiration. Discuss how your composition is similar to the propaganda you have studied
This is about as disgusting an example of propaganda as I can come up with - it is NOT meant to be serious, and I do hope that you understand that!!! It is, however, in the same sort of disgusting style as the original poster from Nazi Germany copied from the reference site of propaganda posters. This one would fall under the category 4 - Recycling, although I doubt the professor had THIS sort of recycling in mind when the assignment was ...
Selection of propaganda poster from Nazi Germany, and model sample response based upon the same theme - a thoroughly disgusting one. Definition of propaganda from Web, with reference.

Tech giants including Google and Meta have dramatically ramped up charitable giving to university campuses over the past several years — giving them influence over academics studying such critical topics as artificial intelligence, social media, and disinformation.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg alone has donated money to more than 100 university campuses, through either Meta or his personal philanthropy arm, according to new research by the Tech Transparency Project. Other firms are helping fund academic centers, doling out grants to professors, and sitting on advisory boards reserved for donors, researchers say.
Silicon Valley's influence is most apparent among computer science professors at such top-tier schools as the University of California at Berkeley, the University of Toronto, Stanford, and MIT. According to a 2021 paper by University of Toronto and Harvard researchers, most tenure-track professors in computer science at those schools whose funding sources could be determined had taken money from the technology industry, including nearly six of 10 scholars of AI.
In interviews, two dozen professors said that by controlling funding and access to data, tech companies wield "soft power," slowing down research, sparking tension between academics and their institutions, and shifting the fields' targets in small — but potentially transformative — ways.

Trump-endorsed Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake held a huge rally Wednesday night at Dream City Church of Glendale in the West Valley. Hundreds packed the megachurch, which was substantially filled.
Lake began by lamenting the fact it was the one-year anniversary of “the election call heard around the world” by Fox News. She said “that was a Ducey,” referring to Gov. Doug Ducey certifying the 2020 presidential election results from Arizona. She was very blunt, “Our elections are completely corrupt.”Read More
