Review: $149 powerhouse fresh from Hong Kong
Chinese smartphones are going mainstream and western consumers are already familiar with brands like Xiaomi, Huawei and ZTE.
5.5-inch phablet with MediaTek Helio X10 MT6795M
The world is still buzzing about the HTC One M9, but it looks like some of HTC's divisions are ready to move to a new adventures.
Qualcomm and MediaTek take the plunge
Last week it emerged that TSMC may be losing some 28nm orders to other foundries, and now it appears that UMC is snatching its business.
CorteX A72, 3rd gen LTE modem
MediaTek is going through a big branding transition, so in the future we will see more emphasis on the new Helio brand than on the model numbers such as MT6795.
5.2-inch, MediaTek MT6795T inside
HTC has invited press to an event in Shanghai and they will most likely see the HTC One M9+, and possibly the E9, an inexpensive version of the new HTC One.
MT679X series parts to use new core, new node
MediaTek became the first chipmaker to publically demo a SoC based on ARM’s latest Cortex-A72 CPU core, but the company's upcoming chip still relies on the old 28nm manufacturing process.
More brands expanding westward, using MT products
MediaTek stands to gain big if Chinese phonemakers gain a foothold in western markets.
MT6795 is now Helio X10
Starting last week, following a strong showing at the Mobile World Congress, MediaTek has a new brand name for its premium phone SoCs that is easier to remember than MT, followed by four digits.
Both rely on MediaTek 6795 SoC
HTC will be launching two cool phones to follow up the HTC One M9 release. The flagship phone looks good and performs quite well, powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810. We could not get to overheat it doing our time with the device.

Billionaire Elon Musk, who previously predicted the economic downturn, claims that this is actually a good thing, a necessary “rude awakening” after a relaxed attitude from the COVID-19 epidemic.
Tesla’s CEO was responding to users on Twitter when he said “something needs to go bankrupt”.
On Friday, Twitter user Jack asked Mr. Musk, “Do you still think we’re on the verge of a recession?”
In response, the SpaceX chief said, “Yes, but that’s a good thing. It’s been raining money on idiots for a long time. Something needs to go bankrupt. No need to work hard. Rude awakening is introverted! “
Yeah Al that sounds pretty crap to me, Looks like BT aint for me either. Money has been raining down on fools for a long time. Something needs to go bankrupt.
Also, all the things in Covid-a-home have deceived people into thinking you don’t have to work hard. Rude Awakening Introverted!
– Elon Musk (lonelonmusk) May 27, 2022
“How long do you believe this recession will continue Elon? You called it that! Just curious it could be last year (s) ??” Another user asked the industrialist.
“Based on past experience, about 12 to 18 months. Companies that have an inherently negative cash flow (i.e. value destroyers) have to die so that they stop eating assets,” Mr Musk said.
According to New York PostAnalysts have recently said that the US economy is more likely to enter a recession as a result of persistently high inflation and supply chain disruptions due to COVID.
Gross domestic product (GDP), a broad measure of goods and services produced across the country, fell 1.5 percent in the first quarter of 2022, according to data released by the US government on Thursday.
The 1.5 percent decline contrasts sharply with the 6.9 percent increase in GDP recorded in the fourth quarter of 2021.
The results, according to analysts, were attributed to strong consumer spending on imports, which exceeded spending on exports, the post added.

Still waiting for diagnosis
I’m having stress test tomorrow, which I’m scared of as I’m mostly breathless and afraid I’ll pass out or worse doing it. My new cardiologist is still not sure what type of svt I have yet, but I went for a week with little symptoms and last night I started feeling breathless with elevated heart rate again and so today the same and it makes me feel so unwell that I really can’t do much and I get tired quickly. I read other people who have been diagnosed withAfib, A flutter etc and they seem to be able to exercise still or work etc . Since this all happened to me about 6 weeks ago my whole life has changed, I’m exercise intolerant atm and not working due to feeling unwell and breathless a lot . Are their others who have had this experience since being diagnosed with an SVT?
Jrincleve, August 28, 2019 8:02am EST
I had 3 people monitoring me during my stress test and was given the option to tap out at any time.
They started very slow so I would not stress over it.

|Figure 8: There will always be people who think |
they can run your blog empire better than you.
However, if the lovely and gracious Rogue can make a suitable book cover, Book Profits Dot Com: How to establish a profitable online bookstore with little money and less risk should be available on Kindle by month end. It's still worthwhile and almost timely, with the exception of my silver market commentary, of course. Not that the advice is bad, but explaining how people are ignoring $5 silver makes less sense when the price is up 5x.
Finding stuff like that almost makes me wish I hadn't sold the rights to Blog Empires* all those years ago...
* True story:** I sold that book back in 2005, and it still generates "original" blog entries, like this one, and this one, and this one (from last month) 8 years later. I suspect the buyer got his $500 worth from it.
** Besides the one where I actually did build a profitable online bookstore but never managed to build a blog empire.*** Blog Empires had way cooler pictures, though...
*** Unless it's just a painfully small empire, consisting of only an emperor and about three serfs.

In a setback for the Boy Scouts, the Supreme Court turned away a free-speech challenge to a Berkeley policy that denies city-subsidized dock space to a Scouting group because it excludes gays and atheists.Read the whole piece. Note that the case originates in Berkeley, a liberal bastion in the United States, and thus there are national "culture war" implications in play here. As the story notes:
The court's action lets stand rulings in California and elsewhere that have said cities, schools and colleges may deny public benefits to groups that refuse to comply with broad nondiscrimination rules involving religion and sex orientation.
Some conservative groups had joined the challenge to the Berkeley policy, saying that advocates of "traditional moral values" are being subjected to discrimination across the country by "politically correct" government officials.
The court's action sets no legal precedent, however, and the justices could well take up the issue in the future.
Six years ago, the high court came to the aid of the Boy Scouts of America when it ruled that a state cannot force a private group, such as the Scouts, to include openly gay men if doing so would violate its professed code of conduct. In that case, James Dale, a former scoutmaster, had sued the group after he was excluded upon acknowledging he was gay.
The New Jersey courts said the Scouts must abide by the state's anti-discrimination law.
The Supreme Court disagreed in a 5-4 decision in the case of Boys Scouts vs. Dale.
But in the wake of the Scouts' victory, some cities and school districts refused to permit Scouting groups to use their facilities on the same basis as they allowed other nonprofit organizations.
Lawyers for the Scouts then went back to court to challenge this exclusion as unconstitutional discrimination. So far, however, they have been rebuffed.
For many years, Berkeley had given a rent-free berth in its marina to nonprofit community service organizations, including the Sea Scouts. An affiliate of the Boy Scouts, the group teaches sailing and seamanship to teenagers.I discuss the 2000 decision, Boy Scouts v. Dale, in my classes. In that case the Court argued that the Boy Scouts had a First Amendment right to freedom of association, and thus could exclude individuals or groups whose values were deemed contrary to those of the organization.
But the Berkeley City Council adopted a new policy that required groups that wanted a free berth to agree in writing that they would not discriminate against persons based on, among other factors, their race, religion, ethnicity or sexual orientation. The Scouts did not sign the agreement because Boy Scouts policy excludes gays and atheists.
Eugene Evans, an adult leader of the Sea Scouts, agreed to pay $500 a month to maintain the berth in the Berkeley marina, but he also led a lawsuit that challenged the policy as violating the group's rights to freedom of speech and the equal protection of the laws. He argued the Scouts were being treated as "second-class citizens" because their views on religion and homosexuality were disfavored by the government.
The Berkeley case is a tough one. The Boy Scouts are being penalized by the City Council for their policy of excluding gays. I'm inclined to agree with the Scouts that city policy violates their constitutional rights. The Boy Scouts are a private organization. In civil rights law, private businesses are compelled to provide public accomodations for racial minorities -- for example, blacks seeking hotel lodgings during the Jim Crow era -- through the interpretation of the Commerce Clause of Art. I, Sec. 8 of the Constitution. The reasoning is that hotel accomodations and the like can be regulated under Congress's authority to regulate interstate commerce.
Is the Berkeley marina of significant economic importance to be a candidate for regulation under the Commerce Clause? Does the Berkeley public accomodations law go too far, impinging on legitimate group rights to associate freely? Should the Boy Scouts be forced to accept certain members to comply with a politically correct local ordinance?
With the exception of marriage, gays should be afforded equal opportunity in all realms of public life (including military service). I'm bothered though by the whiff of majority tyranny evident in Berkeley's policy on the city-financed boating docks. Besides, as I've noted before, I doubt that we can place the struggle for gay rights (with its push for gay marriage) on the same moral plane as the great African American freedom struggle, which is unique in American history.

"I've been thinking about the amazing pace of change in public attitudes and political sentiment on gay marriage - and how every Tom, Dick and Harry (or at least every Hillary, Mark and Claire) seems to be rushing out a video or press release getting on the new right side of marriage equality."In Miller's opinion, this is due to "plenty of reasons, but the one that gets little attention is class".
According to Miller, since same sex couples from all social classes decided to come out of the closet, politicians and decision-makers find it increasingly easy to empathyze with them: many of these couples belong to their own ranks, after all.
That's why Miller asks: "If only poor people were gay, does anyone think our political leaders would have 'evolved' at this pace?"
Don't get me wrong, I fully support same sex marriage, and, in my opinion, a working class movement can and should support other people's initiatives in this area.
But I equally think that a working class movement cannot make of same sex marriage its central issue, because identity issues, like same sex marriage, do not involve the class interests of the elites. They don't touch anybody's pockets. That's what makes possible the "amazing pace of change in public attitudes and political sentiment on gay marriage", as Miller correctly remarks.
Australians should look at themselves in the American mirror. What Miller says about his country applies as much to the U.S. as it does to Australia.
"As Martin Luther King Jr. learned near the end, securing legal equality turned out to be the easy part. Nobody had to write a check. Equal opportunity and economic justice are entirely different matters, requiring a nation to take even bigger leaps of empathy and imagination".
Incidentally, American economics Prof. Mark Thoma, referring to the U.S., asks: "why don't politicians care about the working class?"
Unfortunately, very few Australian academics seem to wonder about that. If they did, they would ask why Labor MP Joel Fitzgibbon is so concerned about the remote possibility of raising taxes on the superannuation of people with a yearly income of AUD250K a year, but doesn't say anything about the certainty that Tony Abbott will charge AUD500 a year on the superannuation of people with incomes under AUD37K a year.
Would that be because he doesn't give a rat's ass about people with incomes under AUD37K a year?
Or they would ask why Tony Abbott, future Australian PM, promoter of the politics of greed and class-warrior on behalf of the local plutocracy, is so willing to come to the defence of Simon Crean and Martin Ferguson (two former union men):
"What we should never do is engage in the politics of envy. What we should never do is play the class war card. Now decent Labor people understand that Simon Crean and Martin Ferguson have pleaded with the Prime Minister to put this class war behind them". (See here)Would it be because there is no difference between the interests Abbott represents and those represented by Crean and Ferguson?
So, dear reader, in the next election your choice is among which representatives of the rich will squeeze you good. Keep voting for these people, no matter how much they despise you.

If Southern Hospitality are the new Allmans, then Tampa, Florida’s Damon Fowler is their Duane. On his third Blind Pig solo CD, Sounds Of Home, he covers Johnny Winter (“TV Mama,” not to be confused with the Big Joe Turner song of the same name), Elvis Costello (“Alison”) as well as a traditional gospel, “I Shall Not Be Moved,” beautifully finger-picked. Fowler plays guitar, slide, lap steel and dobro and can sing the blues and write a mean country song too (“Old Fools, Bar Stools & Me”).
Saxophonist James Brandon Lewis ups the ante of his 2010 Moments debut with the startlingly gorgeous, meditative, adventurous, brave, free-jazz of his Divine Travels (Okeh). Avant-garde yet church-based, complete with the poetry of Brooklyn-based Thomas Sayers Ellis on two tracks, Divine Travels is a trio record with two older improvisational masters, bassist William Parker and drummer Gerald Cleaver. Lewis, 31, originally humbled to be in a studio with those two, winds up dominating the session with, yeah, divine sax squalls and sanctified squeals.
Finally saw the Springsteen & I movie (Eagle Rock Entertainment), the one patched together with nothing but fan-filmed tributes. I liked the guy who cried at the wheel of his car talking about how much he loves Bruce…the Philly Elvis who Bruce calls on stage to do his thing…and the scene where Bruce joins a street musician to sing “I’m On Fire” and “Dancing In The Dark.” There’s a great montage of “Born To Run” with each line from a different concert. Best of all is “Red Headed Woman,” which I had never heard, a song Bruce wrote about going down on his wife. Pretty damn funny, especially when, in the on stage intro, he flat-out says the song is about cunnilingus. “If you can say it, you can do it,” shouts a gleeful Bruce as thousands cheer his resolve. Love the bonus footage of the London show where Bruce sings “Thunder Road” with just harmonica/piano accompaniment (“the first song I ever sang in England”) before the band comes out for scintillating versions of “Because The Night,” “Shackled And Drawn” and “We Are Alive,” made even more dramatic by rainfall. Enter Paul McCartney for a “I Saw Her Standing There” and “Twist And Shout” encore.
Rucca (Anaconda) is the second album by Joe King Carrasco and El Molino (the first was in 1976). King came out of the South Texas “Beans & Tortilla Circuit” with Freddy Fender and Augie Meyers (who plays his signature Vox Organ on the title-track) to achieve fame with the Sir Douglas Quintet, establishing, in the process, the Tex-Mex rock ‘n’ roll precedent. Here, with Delbert McClinton’s drummer Ernie Durawa and Texas Tornado bassist Speedy Sparks (both original El Molino members), plus nine other musicians adding to the groove, vocalist/guitarist/singer/songwriter Carrasco gets down ‘n’ dirty with the real thing: a combo of rockabilly, punk, polka, waltz, swamp, Cumbia Tropical, garage and, of course, Tex-Mex. With some pumpin’ accordion and honkin’ sax, it’s a cantina dancehall doozy, especially “Chihuahua,” “Loco For Anna,” “Hasta Manana Iguana,” “Muchos Frijoles,” “Nacho Daddy” and even “Tamale Christmas.”
The original Broadway cast recording of A Night With Janis Joplin is a fine complement to listening to Janis herself for here are her influences Odetta, Nina Simone, Aretha Franklin, Bessie Smith, Etta James and doo-wop girl-group The Chantels all coming to life via an amazing cast of singers. Also special are Joplin’s between-song raps. Mary Bridget Davies was born for this role. She’s toured with Big Brother & The Holding Company and, especially during the spoken-word passages, has Joplin’s phrasing, timing, accent and inflections down so pat it’s scary. You’re never going to hear Janis ruminate like this about her life, but damn if Bridget doesn’t resurrect that holy ghost.

Childhood sarcomas often occur in the head and neck area and they are described in other sections. Unusual pediatric head and neck cancers include nasopharyngeal carcinoma, esthesioneuroblastoma, thyroid tumors, oral cancer, salivary gland cancer, laryngeal carcinoma, papillomatosis, and respiratory tract carcinoma involving the NUT gene on chromosome 15. The prognosis, diagnosis, classification, and treatment of these head and neck cancers are discussed below. It must be emphasized that these cancers are seen very infrequently in patients younger than 15 years, and most of the evidence is derived from case series.
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma arises in the lining of the nasal cavity and pharynx.[2,3] This tumor accounts for about one-third of all cancers of the upper airways. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is very uncommon in children younger than 10 years but increases in incidence to 0.8 and 1.3 per 1 million per year in children aged 10 to 14 years and in children aged 15 to 19 years, respectively.[4,5] The incidence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is characterized by racial and geographic variations, with an endemic distribution among well-defined ethnic groups, such as inhabitants of some areas in North Africa and Southeast Asia. In the United States, nasopharyngeal carcinoma is overrepresented in black children when compared with other malignancies.
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is strongly associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection. In addition to the serological evidence of infection, EBV DNA is present as a monoclonal episome in the nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells, and tumor cells can have EBV antigens on their cell surface. The circulating levels of EBV DNA, and serologic documentation of EBV infection, may aid in the diagnosis.
Three histologic subtypes of nasopharyngeal carcinoma are recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO). Type 1 is squamous cell carcinoma; type 2 is nonkeratinizing squamous cell carcinoma; and type 3 is undifferentiated carcinoma. Children with nasopharyngeal carcinoma are more likely to have WHO type 2 or type 3 disease.
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma commonly presents as nosebleeds, nasal congestion and obstruction, or otitis media. Given the rich lymphatic drainage of the nasopharynx, bilateral cervical lymphadenopathies are often the first sign of disease. The tumor spreads locally to adjacent areas of the oropharynx and may invade the skull base, resulting in cranial nerve palsy or difficulty with movements of the jaw (trismus). Distant metastatic sites may include the bones, lungs, and liver.
Diagnostic tests should determine the extent of the primary tumor and whether there are metastases. Visualization of the nasopharynx by an ear-nose-throat specialist using nasal endoscopy, examination by a neurologist, and magnetic resonance imaging of the head and neck can be used to determine the extent of the primary tumor. A diagnosis can be made from a biopsy of the primary tumor or of enlarged lymph nodes of the neck. Nasopharyngeal carcinomas must be distinguished from all other cancers that can present with enlarged lymph nodes and from other types of cancer in the head and neck area. Thus, diseases such as thyroid cancer, rhabdomyosarcoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma, and Burkitt lymphoma must be considered, as should benign conditions such as nasal angiofibroma, which usually presents with epistaxis in adolescent males, and infectious lymphadenitis. Evaluation of the chest and abdomen by computed tomography and bone scan should also be performed to determine whether there is metastatic disease.
