It's the first true bezel-less smartphone that features an industry-leading 91.24% screen-to-body ratio and there is no notch. Previously, there have been numerous leaks and rumors about the smartphone along with speculated features and specifications.
The Vivo Nex S comes in two variants - Diamond Black and Ruby Red.
Another thing you'll be glad to notice is that Vivo is about to push their in-display fingerprint sensor on the market yet again, Nex S featuring it. Vivo has finally presented its two new high-end devices knows as the Vivo Nex S and the Nex A. They might sound a little confusing to you but the Nex S is simply superior of the two.
Both the devices are powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon processors but NEX S is based on Snapdragon 845 64-bit 10nm Mobile Platform with Adreno 630 GPU while NEX A based on Octa-Core Snapdragon 710 10nm Mobile Platform with Adreno 616 GPU. The handset features the same 6.59-inch full-HD+ (1080x2316 pixels) Super AMOLED display with a 19.3:9 aspect ratio.
Eid-El-Fitr: FG declares public holidays
Eid or Eid al-Fitr marks the end of Ramadan , which is a month long fasting that this year began on May 16 and ends on June 14. In India, individuals are gearing up to celebrate Eid al-Fitr 2018 which is expected to begin on the evening of June 14.
Coming to the camera department, the smartphone is rumored to be fitted with a dual camera module likewise any other premium smartphone.
Putting the 8-megapixel pop-up camera inside the phone means it isn't taking up room on the screen. The smartphone runs Android 8.1 Oreo topped with Funtouch OS 4.0 with Ai-based Energy UI and a dedicated button to launch Jovi AI. It is the same dual camera setup that is available on the Vivo X21 UD smartphone.
The new flagship series NEX is Vivo's premium line-up and is the ultimate representation of innovation in design, performance, as well as cutting-edge technologies. It houses a Dual-Camera in the rear with 12MP+5MP snappers with Aperture f/1.8, Dual-Pixel AF and in the front, it has a revolutionary periscope-like 8MP selfie camera.
The Vivo Nex will initially launch in China for 4498 yuan (~$700) for the 128GB version and 4498 (~$780) for the top of the line, 256GB model. On the other hand, the cheaper Vivo Nex model costs 3,898 (roughly Rs 41,060).
NCAA eases up on Division I football redshirt restrictions
At the moment, it does not change the SEC rule that allows schools to block undergraduates from transferring within the league. The NCAA's Transfer Working Group first proposed this rule change past year .
But what about the front-facing camera, proximity sensors, and earpiece? Vivo has also embraced artificial intelligence for the Nex, adding A.I. elements to the camera including scene recognition, filters, and compositional advice which it had also revealed separately this year. There's also a voice assistant called Jovi to help users with tasks, though this will likely only be available in China. It also has Vivo Hi-Fi V1 System In Package technology for hi-fi quality sound through earphones.
Vivo has moved the selfie camera and traditional earpiece speaker to different positions. The flagship phone will go on sale starting June 23.
On the storage front, the handset will arrive in either 128GB or 256GB of inbuilt storage versions with standard connectivity options like 4G LTE, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, USB 2.0 port, and OTG support. the smartphone packs a 4000mAh battery.
Madrid want to present Lopetegui as their new coach on Thursday
Lopetegui was picked as Del Bosque's replacement mostly because of his success with Spain's youth squads. Julen has worked in a great way with the team, but we can not accept how he has acted in this case.

That sounds rather intense but it's true. I deactivated my netgalley account (I'll be permanently deleting it soon) and I went through my personal collection, sorting through books I want to keep (like my beloved copies of FANGIRL*) and the ones I don't want anymore. I'm going to try to sell my finished copies to my local indie bookstore and if I can't get rid of them all, I'll just donate the remaining copies to my library.
Snapshot of May
- I did a WoW where I featured THE COINCIDENCE OF COCONUT CAKE by Amy Reichert. My good friend Alex told me about it and it sounds like an adorable read. It's pitched as a cross between You've Got Mail and How to Eat a Cupcake.
- I reviewed the super awesome HER BEST WORST MISTAKE by Sarah Mayberry. A steamy read that promises to deliver an excellent story. I. Loved. It.
- I posted the SUPERGIRL trailer which looks amazing.
- I shared some thoughts on a Sunday. Six to be exact!
What's Going on with Me
- I started listening to Sara Zarr's podcasts (thanks to Alex's recommendation ;D) and they're really great. She talks to various YA authors and other professionals in the publishing industry about the writing life. Take a listen if you're curious :)
- As I mentioned before, I'm ruthlessly going through my books and doing away with any that I haven't read or that I've read but I'm not in love with. It's nice to have the space in my room and hopefully my finished copies will fall into another reader's hands.
- Still waiting to hear back about my app for grad school; I had a few issues submitting it but surprisingly I wasn't stressing out over it. Maybe I'm finally learning to be like Elsa and...wait for it....
|weren't expecting THAT were you?|
Seriously wtf, WHERE IS THIS YEAR GOING? It just got here and now we're already halfway through O_o but as long as I don't see snow for another couple of months....I'll be fine. Anyway how is everyone doing lately? How has the first half of 2015 treated you?
*that's right, MULTIPLE COPIES. I currently own 3. Consider me a rabid--aha--fangirl.

Where do I start? I loved everything about this place! The restaurant is rather small but not loud and has a warm setting. You feel sophisticated but not stuck up when you walk in.. that's the best way I can describe it. I went with my best friend, we both live in Napa and like to save up a little and go to a nice dinner for a girls night to catch up.
We started with the Butternut Squash Risotto Balls. WOAH! Creamy, crispy, ever so slighty sweet from the squash but with a generous kick at the end (warms you up on the cold night). The pesto they serve with it was divine, I loved it so much that the actual dipping sauce, a sweet meaty marinara, went completely ignored. More pesto next time Carpe Diem! (We were THIS CLOSE to ordering the Truffle Parm fries, because truffles come on, but since those fries are a side for one of the entrees we decided to go with the risotto balls. Sure glad with that dicision)
For dinner I ordered the Filet Mignon Steak Skewers and my friend ordered the Ostrich Burger. My steak skewers were tender and delicious, and despite being labeled a small plate I was plenty full. Joy of joy's it came with more of that pesto yuuuumm and was plated on a small bed of greens. The waitress was very nice and when I asked for a recommendation for a wine to go with my meal she recommended a perfect syrah. If only I could remeber which one it was she recommended it went perfectly with the steak skewers and the spicy pesto. I tried a bit of my friends Ostrich burger and was VERY surprised! It was so good. juicy and flavorful and everything they put on that burger enhanced it beautifully. Brie cheese and cranberry and some other yummyness. Just try it, it's good.
In terms of pricing, I usually can't afford much but I'm a total foodie so I'm willing to save up and pay for something that's worth it. I walked in with low expectations because I hadn't heard much buzz about this place and Napa tends to generate restaurants that price very very high because they can get away with it. I was very pleasantly surprised by the prices and even more surprised when I actually tasted the food. It's not cheap by any means but the value was there in my mind. It wasnt too expensive and the food was %150 worth it. Just go you'll be happy you did :)

I am always on the lookout for a good deal when it comes to grocery shopping. If I can get a bargain that we can get a few meals out of that is even better and I am willing to drive a little bit if I have to get there. That is why I buy a lot of my meat and produce from Adam’s Farms, which is a good 20 mile drive for me but well worth it. I had also forgotten that we have a Fresh Market that is about the same distance away from here and I always found good stuff when I would go there when visiting my family in North Carolina so I signed up to get their emails and see what kinds of deals they might have. It turns out on Thursdays they do a store special called the Little Big Deal where you get the ingredients for a dinner to feed a family of f our all for the cost of twenty dollars. The run the special every Thursday and this month’s special was a spaghetti and meatballs dinner, where they included a pound of whole wheat pasta, a pound of lean ground sirloin or ground turkey or a beef-free substitute, a jar of tomato sauce, a bag of salad and a family size fruit tub all for twenty dollars. It seemed like a good deal and I had been playing to make a new spaghetti and meatballs recipe I got from Geoffrey Zakarian so I thought I would adapt these ingredients from Fresh Market into the recipe and see what I came out with.
Geoffrey Zakarian’s Spaghetti and Meatballs
5 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs, finely processed
6 ounces heavy cream (as needed to soak the breadcrumbs)
1 tablespoon vegetable or canola oil
1/2 cup diced onions
1 clove garlic, chopped
1/2 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
8 ounces ground pork
8 ounces sweet pork sausage, no casing
8 ounces ground veal
5 ounces Parmesan cheese, grated, plus more for garnish
1/4 cup finely minced fresh parsley, plus more for garnish
Basic Tomato Sauce recipe, to follow
1 pound spaghetti
Freshly cracked black pepper
For the Basic Tomato Sauce:
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 leaves fresh basil
1 clove garlic, chopped
Pinch red pepper flakes
One 32-ounce can San Marzano tomatoes, drained and processed in a food mill or food processor
Soak the breadcrumbs in the heavy cream in a medium bowl. Heat a large saute pan over medium heat and add the oil. Saute the onions and the garlic until the onions are translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the rosemary, remove the pan from the heat and then chill the mixture thoroughly in the refrigerator, about 30 minutes.
Combine the breadcrumb mixture, the onion mixture, pork, sausage, veal, Parmesan cheese, parsley and the egg in a large bowl. Using an electric mixer on low-speed, mix until all of the ingredients are well incorporated, about 1 to 2 minutes. Alternatively, mix all the ingredients by hand until everything is well incorporated, then add some salt for seasoning.
Heat a small saute pan to cook a sample of the mixture. Taste the mixture for seasoning and make any necessary adjustments. Form the meatballs into the desired size and shape and place them on a wire rack placed inside a rimmed baking sheet. Chill the meatballs for about 1 hour so they have a chance to set.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Bake the meatballs until they are browned, about 20 to 25 minutes. Bring the Basic Tomato Sauce to a simmer in a large pot or Dutch oven. Transfer the meatballs to the pot with the tomato sauce and allow the mixture to simmer until the meatballs are tender and cooked through, about 30 minutes.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Boil the spaghetti until al dente per the package instructions. transfer the cooked spaghetti to the sauce with the meatballs and toss. Add some black pepper, garnish with Parmesan cheese and parsley and serve.
To make the Basic Tomato Sauce, heat a saucepan over medium heat. Add the olive oil, basil, garlic and the red pepper flakes and cook until the garlic begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes, bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 1 minute. Use the sauce right away or chill the sauce until you are ready to use it.
Okay, I did make a couple of changes to fit some of the ingredients I had from the Fresh Market. First, for the meatballs I used a mix of meatloaf mix and he ground sirloin I had on hand instead of just pork and veal. For the tomato sauce, I did a mix of making the basic sauce and using the jar of sauce I had purchased, which was an organic tomato and basil sauce, so it all worked out very well. I have to say I was a little concerned about the meatballs because I didn’t think they would have much flavor and it looked like a lot of breadcrumbs in the mix that had set with the heavy cream, but I was pleasantly surprised. the meatballs turned out to be very tender and had great flavor to them. Michelle even commented that she thought they were the best meatballs she had ever had, so that was pretty high praise. We even had enough leftover so we will get another meal or some lunches out of it, so that twenty dollars is going to go pretty far. We served the meal with the salad that came with the deal (it was a Caesar salad and quite tasty) and I had made a baguette so it was a nice meal and the fruit was a great way to top it all off. Both the recipe and the deal from Fresh Market are definitely worth checking out.
That’s all I have for today. Check back next time for another recipe. Until then, enjoy the rest of your day and enjoy your meal!

New Design Emporium pops-up in Wicklow!
The Design Loft @ Powerscourt Estate opened on Monday July 1st 2013!
Shopping for beautiful hand-crafts and original Irish design, from jewellery and accessories to home-wares, takes an interesting twist this month with the opening of The Design Loft @ Powerscourt Estate!
An exciting new retail concept by Sinead Buckley Quinn, the spectacular gallery in Powerscourt House, on the Powerscourt Estate in Enniskerry, Co. Wicklow, will house a collection from ten different local designers, artists, and makers each month.
The Design Loft @ Powerscourt Estate is the brainchild of entrepreneur and retailer Sinead Buckley Quinn, who describes the beautiful new retail gallery as ‘a rotating pop-up shop’.
“Our concept has not been tried before in Ireland, and yet everyone we speak to loves the idea that the design collection will change every month, and that our designers and makers will also return regularly with new seasonal collections and their latest work,” Sinead Buckley Quinn says.
Irish landscape artists Simon Hoe and Blaithin Quinn, who created the Killiney Arts bone china tableware collection, are among the initial artists ‘in residence’ at The Design Loft @ Powerscourt Estate; as is Deborah von Metzradt, a jewellery and accessory designer who works from her studio in Wicklow town, using antique and vintage materials in an eclectic style.
Work by Fran Byrne will also go on sale in July in The Design Loft. The award winning Bray-based landscape and nature photographer is renowned for his beautifully composed images of County Wicklow, in particular.
The collection from local designers and makers, largely from Wicklow and Dublin, will cover most craft disciplines including pottery, wood work, jewellery, and ceramics. There are also locally produced gifts and home-wares, from exclusive scented candles to natural beauty care.
The retail offering is carefully selected by Sinead Buckley Quinn, with quality design and originality paramount in the selection process. Designers will also regularly be on hand to meet visitors and discuss their work. ‘Makers Monday’, the first Monday of each 28 day exhibition rota, will see a selection of the newly arrived designers present their collections, with detail of upcoming showcases available on Facebook and the website www.designloft.ie.
Sheelagh Daly, the CEO of Wicklow County Enterprise Board, says The Design Loft @ Powerscourt is a unique business model that provides an accessible, cost-effective opportunity for local designers and makers to showcase their products and designs, and to expand their customer base.
“From a consumer perspective there will always be something new and exciting at The Design Loft, and, for the local designers and makers, there is the opportunity to reach a discerning new market. Being able to showcase and sell regularly in such a great venue, and to meet customers while still -having time to concentrate on design work and creativity, is a win win situation,” Sheelagh Daly says.
Sinead hopes her unique new business model will roll out to other high profile venues across the country in the future.
“The Design Loft will see high-end local work actively promoted and sold, without the designer having to commit full-time to a commercial outlet, and all that that entails. Our new collaborative venture at Powerscourt Estate is an innovative route to market, that we know will facilitate entrepreneurship, and support the huge talent in local designers and makers,” Sinead adds.
Located alongside the popular Global Village and the Avoca store and café in Powerscourt House, the new Enniskerry design emporium adds further to the shopping destination, and will enhance the experience for visitors to the house and gardens, as well as patrons of the nearby luxury hotel and Powerscourt golf club.
The Design Loft @ Powerscourt Estate is open Mon – Fri, from 9.30am to 5.30pm, and 12-6pm on Sunday, and can be contacted on 0872707496 / www.designloft.ie.

Just a quick one to keep the blog breathing – I’ll post in more detail (on children’s reading, in response to the recent Carnegie long-list) in a couple of days.
This afternoon, I had some good news from a friend – they’re moving on in the world, both physically and professionally. And whilst I’m happy for them, I can’t help but feel anxious – as per, I’m beginning to look down on myself.
In the spirit of my last post, however, I’ve contacted Aberystwyth. Next week is the conference, and I’m getting through my readings for the week (the weekend trip to Belfast has forced me to carry some targets over – researching publishing and finishing one of my books). I have to believe I can get where I want, no matter what challenges I need to rise to.
Let’s get to it.

More Summer Houses Articles Garden owners whose beautiful green spaces are being ruined by foxes may be interested in tips from horticulture expert Pippa Greenwood on the matter.
The green-fingered authority told Daily Mirror readers that many Brits suffer from overzealous critters digging up their prized plants or simply gouging holes in their garden.
One common reason for this is that the animal is looking for food due to the fact that it can smell bonemeal in the soil.
The material is commonly used in phosphate-rich soil to help improve conditions, but can fool foxes into thinking there is an animal carcass buried beneath plants.
According to Ms Greenwood, the best way to avoid tempting the fox to dig holes all over the garden is to avoid using feeds with animal carcass derivatives.
This is not exclusive to bonemeal and growers should check contents for signs of blood, dried blood, fish and bone.
Meanwhile, fruit growers should only plant new trees once the last frosts have disappeared, the Royal Horticultural Society suggested. -

Computer engineering techniques for collecting and processing bio-medical signals associated with human eye movement
This thesis is concerned with the investigation of two types of eye movements; smooth pursuit, and saccadic eye movement, each of which was analysed under normal condition, and then after the administration of alcohol. Parameters of interest in a selected range were measured using the novel approaches developed in this thesis and the results of a series of different tests compared. Much of the early work done in this area was based on minicomputers. Obviously, a microcomputer based system would be welcome because of costs, and the fact that they are readily available in many hospitals and health centres. The work reported here was carried out using the BBC microcomputer system, since it is inexpensive and commonly used in UK health institutes. The experimental facilities constructed for the work of this thesis were driven by the intention of producing a system free from many of the weaknesses in existing procedures, and to develop an essentially new approach to the problem. The starting point of the research described depends on the fact that whenever the eyes are moved a signal appears at the two poles of the eyes. This signal is known as the resting potential, or standing potential, with the cornea several mV positive with respect to the back of the globe. This potential is generated by the retinal pigment epithelium. By influencing the eyes to move in certain directions, and at certain velocities and frequencies, information can be gathered by further analysis of the signal captured. The signal captured is found to be very small (in the μV range), therefore an amplification of the signal is required, the amplifier needed must have specific features to meet the requirement of high input impedance so the signal is not distorted. This was achieved using a specially designed instrumentation amplifier. Noise which is always present in the signal, was rejected using filtering in analogue and digital forms. The analogue filter was a Butterworth filter with a frequency passband in the range between 0.1-30Hz. The digital filter chosen was the Hanning Window type. To ensure the safety of the person taking the tests care must be taken to isolate all equipment, consequently the signal collecting electronics was powered by batteries. The collected signal was interfaced to the computer using the 1MHz BUS of the BBC microcomputer. A second computer was used so that one of them can process the captured signal while the other generates a moving spot on the screen of a monitor as a stimulus for eye movement The collected signals are then processed in both the time and the frequency domain. The use of frequency domain techniques is a particularly useful form of analysis in the treatment of eye movement potentials, and is shown to extend the information that can be extracted from such signals.

Bhubaneswar: With the preparations are in full swing for conducting bypoll to Brajrajnagar Assembly seat scheduled on May 31, voters residing outside the constituency can avail 3-day leave to cast their votes.
“While there will be one day holiday for voters on polling day in Brajrajnagar, the voters, who are staying outside Brajrajnagar, can take three days leaves, i.e., a day before election day (May 30), on election day (May 31) and after election day (June 1),” informed Odisha CEO (Chief Electoral Officer) Sushil Kumar Lohani at a presser here today.
Giving details about preparations of bypoll, he said that arrangements for Brajrajnagar bypoll are in final stage. There are 11 candidates currently in fray and total 2,14,878 voters will decide fate of the candidates. The polling will be held in 279 booths including 5 pink booths for women voters and 30 model booths. The Electronic Voting Machines or EVMs and Voter Verified Paper Audit Trail or VVPAT machines will be used in the bypoll.
As the names of schools have been changed, the voters need to verify their booths before the polling day, the CEO suggested.
Besides, total 525 voters had applied for postal voting due to Covid-19 pandemic, of which 325 have been selected for it. The process for collecting of postal ballots will commence from tomorrow.
The State Election Commission (SEC) will arrange webcasting in 50% polling stations. Anyone can get information by dialing 1950 toll-free number, he added.

Cutbacks at primary schools in Moray have been met with anger from staff and parents.
The council is carrying out a consultation on proposed changes to the role of office staff in nursery and primary schools, which could see jobs cut, pay downgraded and hours slashed.
Council officers only consulted those directly affected in nursery and primary schools.
While details have been leaked to parents, elected councillors have not seen the document.
Moray Council leader Kathleen Robertson said: “It’s their decision. It’s within their delegated powers to be able to do so.
“But I would very much hope that if there’s any controversy or any issues that bubble up through the consultation, that it does come to elected members because it’s important that we, as representatives of the community, have a full understanding of the impact.”
There is growing frustration among staff and parents about potential cutbacks and the way the council has gone about the review.
However, the deepest concern is for the health and safety of some of the most vulnerable pupils.
Sophie McWhirter of Cluny Primary School Parent Council in Buckie, said: “We have parents whose children need blood-sugar levels checked, for instance, or medication at specific points in the day.
“And I’ve spoken to some staff members who have to set alarms on their personal phones seven.. eight.. ten times a day to remind them of when each individual child needs to be administered with that life-saving medication.”
In a statement, the council said the changes would result in savings, a simpler way to provide cover for absence and a reduction in routine admin tasks – but parents are not impressed.
James Hynam of Kinloss Primary School Parent Council said: “We’ve heard a lot about lowering attainment issues that have happened post-Covid and I think cutting the very hard work of unsung heroes such as the administration staff is a huge backward step.”
While the review is at an early stage, industrial action has not been ruled out.
Unison Moray official Karen Donaldson said: “A lot of our members will lose hundreds of pounds a week during a cost of living crisis, which is absolutely huge for anyone at this moment.
“We find school admin are pivotal and are glad of their services within schools. One of the other things we find is that they’re a safe place for children to go, they feel safe. This is going to impact on children.”
In a statement, the council said: “Administrative staff play a key role in the effective and efficient operation of our Early Learning and Childcare (ELC) settings and primary schools.
“Bringing together ELC and primary school administrative staff in a more resilient and sustainable business support structure seeks to enable new ways of working to be taken forward to address the challenges staff are experiencing and support them in delivering a more effective and sustainable service to pupils, families and colleagues.
“The proposed new line management and staffing structure would retain the benefits of the close working relationships within ELC settings and primary schools and deliver efficiency savings.
“Greater use of digital technology to complete task currently done manually, aims to support staff to manage their workload within their contracted hours.
“The proposed team structure would also make it easier to provide cover for staff absence and there would be a reduction in the amount of time spent by senior staff on routine administration tasks, freeing them up to undertake more complex work. Job descriptions would be reviewed to support recruitment and retention.”
The consultation ends on June 2.
It is understood Moray Council is planning a similar exercise next year involving staff in its high schools.

“Look up in the sky, it's a bird, it's a plane, no its Fateh DOE”
It goes without saying, Fateh has done it again with his newest release that dropped on October 23, 2020, after dropping teaser after teaser over his social platforms, building the hype for his 12-song tracklist.
WIthin a day of releasing, Fateh’s album sits at #2 on the Apple Music Canada charts, where he quotes his own song “I am top 5, number 2 I am not below that.”
Collabs with big names like Raftaar, GillThaGeneral, Straight Bank, Mafioso, Hu$h, Villa, and Surrey’s own Naseeb, it’s safe to say something good did come out of 2020 after all.
This album is on another level of hype that will get you blasting this album until your speakers pop, vibing hard to the straight facts Fateh’s dropping in nearly every bar.
But success for the Toronto rapper certainly didn’t happen overnight.
Previously known as Young Fateh, he dropped three mixtapes from early 2009 to 2011. Fateh gained popularity after being discovered by Dr. Zeus in 2012, and joined a band “Zoo Babies” featuring Dr. Zeus for another album of bangers.
After changing his name to Fateh DOE, and releasing now four albums so far -- Bring It Home, To Whom It May Concern, New Memories, and his most recent, Goes Without Saying, it’s safe to say, Fateh never disappoints when it comes to his music.
Being featured in a number of singles, EP’s, and collaborations with other Punjabi artists, Fateh is known to be the trailblazer for Punjabi Rap, and creating a name for himself while perfecting his craft.
Fateh did something a little different this year, giving us insight into his process through his social media. The teasers leading up to this album launch, which he released live on Instagram, and proceeded to jam to his craft as he shared his music and his behind the scenes process with his fans.
After breaking the internet with his previous album in 2019, New Memories had everyone in their feelings. For those that haven’t experienced heartbreak, Fateh had people so in their feels that fans are still vibing to songs from “To Whom it may Concern’.
While we are unsure of who it is that did such a number on Fateh to get him to write such senti songs, “Goes Without Saying” is reminiscent of old-school Fateh, dating back to when Zoo-Babies (iykyk) dropped their album quite some time ago.
While the Punjabi music industry has some big names, Fateh has indeed set the standard for Desi rapping. From Young Fateh to Fateh DOE, he really brought it home with this album with that 2020 energy.
What’s your favourite track from his album?

It's no secret that the Harry Potter film franchise is still popular, decades on from the first release of the eight-part movie series.
Fans still regularly watch the films, read the books and interact with the cast on the daily - and some even go as far as to replicate the characters in their looks.
In what is called cosplay, fans of any book, film, video game and more dress up as their favourite characters, and can even go to events specialised for cosplayers.
Some just prefer to post these looks online, and the Harry Potter franchise is not short of cosplayers - though most tend to stick to the fan favourites like Harry, Ron, Hermione and the like.
One cosplayer decided to take a turn to the Death Eater side, and dressed up in what can only be described as one of the most uncanny Bellatrix Lestrange costumes imaginable.
Complete with her wild, curly hair, dark circles and finely-cut cheekbones, cosplayer Stennya Franca posted her look onto a popular Facebook community page for Harry Potter fans.

She wrote: "This is my bellatrix lestrange cosplay, hope the group likes it."
And like it, they did! The post garnered almost 2,000 likes, and over 200 comments of adoration for her efforts.
One Facebook user said: "Now that is SORCERY right there. Well done!"
Another wrote: "Amazing!! The best cosplay of bellatrix...i don't like of character ,but this is a great job."
And a third said: "You look amazing! Best cosplay I've seen of Bellatrix hands down!"
Others said: "Oh my gosh you did such a great job!", and "I thought I was actually looking at her! Fantastic makeup! You nailed it."
A sixth added: "Excellent Cosplay, Ministry of Magic Approved. You look Fabulous."
While others said: "Amazing you did a very great job", and "Ok it’s one thing to have an awesome cosplay but omg you actually look like Helena bonham Carter! This is amazing."
Do you think the cosplayer looks like the twisted Bellatrix? Let us know in the comments below.

A computational analysis of in vivo VEGFR activation by multiple co-expressed ligands
(A) Overview of key predictions. (B) Due to differences in NRP1- and ECM-binding, VEGF isoform-VEGFR2 complexes are trafficked differently, leading to distinct downstream signaling, cellular behavior, and vascular network architecture. (C) Summary of predicted ligand binding to VEGFR1 and VEGFR2. All ligands in the respective boxes can bind to VEGFR1 or VEGFR2. The size of the ligands represents the predicted contribution to receptor binding in vivo. The model suggests that, for each receptor, a subset of the ligands dominate.

… and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy. (Rev 3:4)
Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800
Musician: Old Irish Tune
O For A Closer Walk With God
O for a closer walk with God,
A calm and heav’nly frame,
A light to shine upon the road
That leads me to the Lamb!
Where is that blessedness I knew
When first I saw the Lord?
Where is the soulrefreshing view
Of Jesus and His Word?
What peaceful hours I once enjoyed!
How sweet their mem’ry still!
But they have left an aching void
The world can never fill.
Return, O holy Dove! return,
Sweet messenger of rest!
I hate the sins that made Thee mourn,
And drove Thee from my breast.
The dearest idol I have known,
Whate’er that idol be,
Help me to tear it from Thy throne,
And worship only Thee.
So shall my walk be close with God,
Serene and calm my frame;
So purer light shall mark the road
That leads me to the Lamb.
May we all desire to walk closer to God.
Go near and hear all that the LORD our God will say and speak to us all that the LORD our God will speak to you, and we will hear and do it.’ (Deuteronomy 5:27 ESV)
For what great nation is there that has a god so near to it as the LORD our God is to us, whenever we call upon him? (Deuteronomy 4:7 ESV)
But for me it is good to be near God; I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, that I may tell of all your works. (Psalms 73:28 ESV)
Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
(James 4:8 KJV)

FAIRHAVEN — The Planning Board voted unanimously to approve an unusual Form A plan to Alan Ewing of New Boston Road after almost an hour of discussion during its meeting held Tuesday night at Town Hall.
Mr. Ewing and an abutter Carl Robichaud had worked out an agreement that was acceptable to both and whose property lines had been accepted by the Land Court. The approval of the property lines in Land Court placed it in the category of being "registered" land as opposed to filings that are done in with the Registrar of Deeds.
As registered land there were limitations as to what could be done with the property after it became a Form A lot (approval not required because it has the proper requirements of lot size and frontage). Town Planner William Roth recommended acceptance of the plan as it was presented.
The Form A lot would be 13.6 acres owned by Mr. Ewing who is purchasing the land from Mr. Robichaud. Mr. Robichaud owns the remaining 84.6 acres and uses it for farming.
Form A lots are usually routine but this one was unique and that concerned Planning Board Chairman Wayne Hayward because it lacked the proper frontage. While the lot size was more than sufficient at over 13 acres (30,000 square feet is required) the frontage for the new lot was only 20 feet represented by a lane that Mr. Ewing uses as access to the back property.
Chairman Hayward felt that the board may be headed down a slippery slope if the allowed a Form A lot with such little frontage (140 feet is required). He felt something should be worked out since Mr. Robichaud had over 300 feet of frontage.
Paul Matos of GAF Engineering represented the men and pointed out that because this was registered land, the lot lines would be difficult and costly to change. Chairman Hayward was still concerned that future owners of the property could take the time and expense to create additional lots. He saw the request more as a subdivision than a Form A plan. Mr. Roth noted that the board has signed off on other Form A plans similar to this one where there was limited frontage and in some cases the property was landlocked from any frontage.
The chairman felt that a future owner could go to the Zoning Board of Appeals for a variance.
Mr. Matos pointed out that in order to receive a variance a hardship would have to be shown and in this case, they applicant was creating his own hardship.
Mr. Ewing noted that he plans to retire in the next few years and would like to spend time one that property and perhaps raise some beef cattle. He wanted to access to the property by the lane that currently exists and did not want a 40 foot layout. Mr. Robichaud was seeking to continue to access his 84 acres in the back through an easement on Mr. Ewing's land.
Chairman Hayward noted that, while he trusted Mr. Ewing, he would be placed in a position of having to agree to similar plans in the future if he approved this plan.
Mr. Roth noted that this plan is unique in that it has elements that would make further lots difficult to secure because of its registered status.
The discussion continued with Mr. Ewing, Mr. Robichaud and Mr. Matos giving assurances that the problems that Mr. Hayward saw could not be accomplished without a lot of effort that would be difficult to bring together.
The chairman reluctantly agreed after board member Gary Staffon motioned to accept the plan and the fellow members agreed with assurances through notes by the applicants.

Mumbai: The Government of Maharashtra on Saturday (28 April) cleared the decks for the construction of a greenfield airport in the Vidarbha region of Maharshtra at Chandrapur. The will be the second major airport in the region after the Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport at Nagpur, the winter capital of Maharashtra.
The General Administration Department of the state government issued a notification last week appointing the Maharashtra Airport Development Corporation (MADC) as the nodal agency and special-purpose vehicle (SPV) for the project.
While 332 acres of government land will be handed over for the construction of the airport, 464 acres will be acquired at a cost of Rs 46 crore. The Airports Authority of India (AAI) had in January submitted a pre-feasibilty report giving a nod to the location of the proposed airport. It will come up Vihirgaon, around 40 km away from Chandrapur. An airstrip exists at Morwa, 12 km from the city but is not being expanded due to land constraints in the vicinity.
The first phase of the project will see an airport being developed to handle smaller planes such as the Bombardier Dash 8 Q400 using a 2 km-long and 45 metre-wide runway while the second phase will see an expansion to handle larger aircraft such as the Airbus A320 with a second runway measuring 3 km.
The first phase will be completed in two years after which the second phase will be taken up. State Finance Minister Sudhir Mungantiwar said that once the airport commences commercial operations, it would gradually be upgraded to an international airport.


Isn't that what lots of people said in 2008? Obama may be gone in four years, but America HAS changed and will not go back to the Bush years when neo-cons ruled the country. The make-up of the electorate has changed and even the Republican right-wing is starting to realize that new reality. If Obama manages to get us further out of the ditch the Bush administration put us in, you may get another US president in 4 years that is not to your liking either. I wouldn't get too comfortable betting on a drastic change in 4 years.....

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel carries a regrettable story about a little old lady who lost her “life savings” of about $20,000 because she left it in the form of a check in a safe deposit box for 22 years (regrettable both because her life savings was only $20,000 and because she lost it). Tucked inside, we have a stunning display of simplistic Web research and basic misunderstanding of economics:
Willie Floyd said she hadn’t thought about the interest she was losing by not having it in a standard savings account. The interest she would have earned could vary, but a calculator provided online by the Federal Reserve Bank indicates that if she had bought something for $19,700.22 in 1985, it would cost her $38,480.79 to buy the same goods or services, based on the Consumer Price Index.
Bravo, Marie Rohde, your economics teacher must be proud!
You don’t have an economics teacher? The deuce you say!

Frustrating time for ruby
You wouldn't want to be on the right-hand side of Ruby Walsh's armchair this weekend. If missing the rides on Denman and Big Buck's wasn't frustrating enough, he will cast covetous eyes at Fairyhouse tomorrow where Willie Mullins (above) has some outstanding talent -- weather permitting.
With Zaidpour, Mikael D'Haguenet and Hurricane Fly all down to run, Walsh would have loved to pitch for a slice of the action. Instead he'll be looking on from his living room, whip doubtless to hand, riding finishes as though he were in the plate himself.
No doubt Ruby will feel for Noel Fehily, Paul Nicholls' go-to guy, who joins him on the sidelines after breaking a wrist after a heavy fall.
It was only this week that Fehily had been confirmed for the Christmas treat on Kauto Star after a sequence of impressive rides for Nicholls since the Ruby's latest injury.
Here's to a speedy return for both.

Press play on Silent’s new visual.
Despite what the big wigs at labels and old heads with outdated thought processes tell you, samples and interpolations help push the culture. Not only does the relatability of the record in the sample help when introducing a new artist, but newer artists sampling consistently bring new listeners to the person they’re sampling. That’s why when Detroit rapper, Silent calls on the late Tupac for some inspiration on the hook to his new song, “Near You,” it feels more genuine than just a reach.
Filmed by buzzing West Coast videographer 8900Eric, “Near You” is an emotionally passionate record, that sees Silent baring a bit more personal feelings than we normally see from the Midwest native. Riding over highly infectious production provided by, Reul Beats, Silent takes the slow pitch and knocks it out of the park, highlighted by a chorus inspired by Tupac’s chilling single, “Staring Through My Rearview.”
With another video of Silent’s starting to catch some buzz, it should be sooner than later that the Detroit rapper blows up. Tap in and join the bandwagon before it’s too full.

Peter Barnes, the award-winning playwright and screenwriter of “Enchanted April” and “The Ruling Class,” died July 1 in a London hospital after a stroke. He was 73.
Barnes’ work was admired across all disciplines in a career spanning some 40 years. And though it was the theater where Barnes first made an important mark in the 1960s, he went on to arguably greater success (certainly financially) in TV and film, as a prolific writer both of sweet-natured character studies like “Enchanted April” and of 14 Hallmark-backed TV projects, from “Merlin” and “Noah’s Ark” to “Arabian Nights” and “Leprechauns.”
He received 1992 Writers Guild of America and Oscar noms for his “Enchanted April” screenplay, adapted from the Elizabeth von Arnim novel about a community of repressed Britons displaced to sun-drenched Italy, and an Emmy nom as co-writer of Hallmark and NBC’s “Merlin” mini. “Merlin” and its sequel were among the many Hallmark co-productions scripted by Barnes.
Hallmark’s Robert Halmi Sr. told Variety, “He did something very important, which few writers can do: No matter what the subject matter, no matter how serious, he brought a certain humor and relief, a sense that people didn’t have to live through ancient history frowning all the time.”
Barnes was born in January 1931, in Bow, East London, and grew up by the seaside, where his parents worked the amusement arcades.
London native left school at age 18 but educated himself afterward through various correspondence courses.
It was after early stints as a film critic and story editor that Barnes made his impact as a screenwriter with the Peter Medak-helmed “The Ruling Class,” adapted from Barnes’ own stage play about a British aristocrat who harbors delusions that he is Jesus Christ one minute, Jack the Ripper the next.
The play opened at the Nottingham Playhouse, north of London, in late 1968, transferring to the Piccadilly Theater the following February. Onscreen, Peter O’Toole earned an Oscar nod in the demanding central role of the mad, and often madcap, Earl of Gurney. Variety called the film “brilliantly caustic” and “frequently hilarious,” and the pic remains a cult classic.
“Peter was always trying to break all the rules,” said “Ruling Class” helmer Peter Medak. “He was wonderfully original.”
At once ferociously comic and politically loaded, “The Ruling Class” won Barnes the 1969 Evening Standard Drama Award for most promising playwright. And in 1985, he won the play Olivier — London’s equivalent of the Tony — for “Red Noses.” The Royal Shakespeare Company epic told of a monk known as Father Flote (played by Antony Sher) who took to the road during the Black Death in 14th-century France to spread cheer with a troupe of lunacy-prone cohorts.
In his autobiography, “By Myself,” Sher recalls his delight in the play, which the actor performed in rep with Shakespeare’s “Richard III.” “Red Noses,” Sher writes, was “a rich, savage, comic epic, typically Barnesian.”
Indeed, that was one of several plays — an earlier RSC effort, 1974’s “Bewitched,” was another — to prompt comparisons between Barnes and British satirist Ben Jonson, whose 17th-century comedy “The Devil Is an Ass” Barnes adapted for both radio and the stage. He also penned new versions of plays by Feydeau and Wedekind.
Barnes was less successful in recent stage outings, finding greater favor of late in his screen work, large and small. He was last repped on the West End as both writer and director of “Dreaming,” a historical drama that begins at the Battle of Tewkesbury in 1471: The play did a fast fade from the Queen’s Theater in the summer of 1999, having preemed that same spring at the Royal Exchange, Manchester.
Barnes’ RSC “Jubilee” in 2001 was among the few productions of the troupe’s repertory that year not to transfer to London from Stratford, where the play opened to mostly poor reviews.
At the same time, however, much of Barnes’ other work, such as popular BBC radio series “Barnes’ People,” was garnering raves, and the writer was a self-described workaholic who would spend his days writing in longhand at the British Museum Reading Room. Eventually, he switched to McDonald’s, where he would sit for hours with the burger cooling over a cup of coffee. (“The bun went in the bin, and the meat went home with him for the dog,” wrote director Terry Hands, who staged “Red Noses,” in an appreciation in the Guardian.)
And with two screenplays turned in the week before his death, Barnes was nowhere near retiring. One of those projects, a semi-autobiographical two-parter called “Babies,” is about a man who fathers triplets late in life; it’s set to air on Granada Television. Barnes himself found belated personal happiness as a father: At age 69, he had a daughter, Leela, by Christie, his second wife. Two years later, Christie gave birth to triplets: Nathaniel, Zachary and Abigail. (Barnes’ first wife, Charlotte, pre-deceased him.)
Hallmark also has two of Barnes’ last scripts, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” and “Pirates,” on its slate.
Other recent credits include co-writing (with Nicholas Meyer) the 1995 film “Voices” (aka “Voices From a Locked Room”), which starred Jeremy Northam as Brit composer Peter Warlock and music critic Philip Heseltine. Onstage, he adapted Kunio Shimizu’s “Tango at the End of Winter” for Japanese director Yukio Ninagawa; Alan Rickman headlined the 1992 production at the Piccadilly Theater.
A book on Barnes is due to be published in August.(Justin Chang and David S. Cohen in Hollywood contributed to this report.)

Rapper Megan Thee Stallion took to social media to announce the release date of her forthcoming single “B.I.T.C.H.”, which will be available January 24. Megan’s debut album is one of the most highly anticipated projects of 2020. Tweeting earlier this month, the Houston native also mentioned that the single will appear on her forthcoming album “Suga”, and set the tone for the rest of the album.

After Chipotle temporarily pulled its delivery service to its U.K. stores on April 1, 2016, the fast food giant returned to the U.P.A. for a limited time on April 13.
But for the first time since the move, it’s been bringing delivery back to the United States for a day, the company announced.
The move comes as the company has seen a sharp decline in sales and revenue.
It has also been a boon for the likes of Burger King and McDonald’s, which have both announced their own efforts to re-launch their delivery services.

text: WITH relatively low rental yields prevailing, investors should look carefully for bargains to minimise risks amid the volatile interest rate environment, property experts say. Cash-rich investors keen to enter the market prefer prime and unique properties. A. G. Wilkinson and Associates' assistant director Michael McGuire said investors should look at properties offering a yield of no less than 8 per cent per annum on current effective rents. With the prime lending rate at the double-digit level, investors tended to ask for tangible discounts to market prices for the properties in order to achieve sustainable returns, he said. Office, residential and retail property prices had corrected in unison significantly since October last year. Rents had also fallen and current investment yields were still not attractive enough. Mr McGuire said residential investment yield based on current asking prices was about 5.5 per cent, while prime office yield was about 6.5 per cent. Yields needed to measure up either as a result of a drop in interest rates, which would effectively reduce investors' holding costs, or due to further decreases in property prices, he said. Investors should focus on buying something 'very prime' in the residential, office or retail property sectors where prices had adjusted substantially and were at more acceptable levels. Investors buying tenanted properties had to take into account the possible negative rental reversions on the expiry of existing leases, he said. 'Whether investors should return to the market now depends on the yield they can attain.' Cushman & Wakefield director of Hong Kong investments Simon Chow said some banks were especially conservative in extending finance to people buying investment properties. While the yields were not so attractive, investors could still consider snapping up bargains to benefit from capital appreciation gains in the longer term. In his view, investors should go for grade A offices in Central, Wan Chai and Admiralty, especially those with a good tenant mix.

"One" was once voted the 5th most popular song of all time, in a poll conducted by Sony. It is also in #36 in Rolling Stone's "Top 500 Songs of All Time".


R&B infused pop artist, Wes Mason is back with a brand new single, “I Want Your Love” which features Kofi Black. The single, which is off of his upcoming album, The Animal Inside was recorded at the legendary Tito Jackson’s private studio in Los Angeles, as well as at the historic Kensington Sound in Toronto. Wes fed inspiration from the musical legacy surrounding him and infused that into his brand-new take on RnB-pop.
Of this Wes says:
“I ultimately just want my music to affect people the same way that my favorite artists have affected me. It’s crazy how somebody else’s story can become your own.”

LAFAYETTE, La. – With “all the political turmoil” attendant to the 2004 Democratic and Republican conventions and national elections, “it’s going to be hard to get anything out of Congress” before the year runs out, says Craig Brown, vice president of producer affairs for the National Cotton Council.
Even so, he told members of the Southern Cotton Ginners Association at their summer conference at Lafayette, “Our message to Congress has been consistent – that we support the current farm bill, we like this farm bill, and we’re not supporting any changes in this farm bill.
“What we have to guard against are the onerous changes being proposed, either from a budget standpoint or from our not-so-good friend, the senior senator from Iowa, Charles Grassley, who continues to look for opportunities to impose on this farm bill his payment limit amendments, which could be crippling to commercial-size agriculture, particularly sunbelt agriculture.
“We have to continue to watch Sen. Grassley and do everything possible to make sure his efforts are not successful.”
Agriculture, and cotton in particular, face several critical issues, Brown says. “Our agenda is quite full now on both national and international levels.”
Going into the August recess, Brown notes, Congress still doesn’t have a budget to operate under. “That’s not really too surprising, in an election year, and with the political conventions going on the rhetoric will get even heavier.”
The lack of a budget is having an impact on the congressional appropriations process, he says, and that too is lagging behind a normal timetable.
“The House has passed eight of its 13 appropriations bill, including an agriculture appropriations bill, and we commend Chairman Henry Bonilla of Texas for an excellent job of getting the bill through the House floor without any really damaging amendments. Some were attempted, but he and the leadership successfully avoided any challenges, plus we got about $47 million for the boll weevil program, some money for the pink bollworm program, and funding for other critical areas, including ginning research.”
Now, Brown says, the focus is on the Senate. “It’s quite unlikely the Senate will pass its version of the appropriations bill. So far, they’ve passed only one appropriations bill. More likely, after the elections, they’ll come back and bundle their bills into an omnibus appropriations package and send it to a conference with the House. If we’re lucky, before this fiscal year ends (on Sept. 30) we’ll have some money to operate on.”
There are also going to be budget challenges to the farm bill, Brown says, and while Congress may not do much this year, “next year, after the elections, we expect there to be additional focus on the budget deficit.”
That likely will entail some budget reductions for entitlement spending, which includes the farm bill. “We would expect there to be some challenges to the farm program, and some reductions in farm program spending. How that’s done and how proportional it is to other areas of reductions are critical issues. We will certainly try to make sure agriculture doesn’t take any disproportionate cuts and that cotton doesn’t take any disproportionate cuts in relation to any of the other farm programs.”
Noting that a number of importers have challenged the constitutionality of the Cotton Research and Promotion Program, Brown says, “It’s in the federal courts right now, and it’s going to be a long, slow process.”
The U.S. cotton industry is “directly involved” in defense of the program, he says. “We think it’s a very critical program that needs defending; in light of the global cotton situation, it’s more important than ever, in both domestic and international arenas. The U.S. cotton industry has a very organized defense effort – we’re involved formally with the courts in the role of an intervenor.”
He points out that the U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear a challenge to the beef industry’s checkoff program and rule on its constitutionality. “We’re very interested in this case, and the cotton industry will be participating in several different ways as a friend of the court to be sure proper arguments are made outlining our perspective.”
The next two to three years “are going to be critically important in terms of issues that affect agriculture,” Brown says. “The cotton industry has always been up to the task of dealing with major challenges, and I have no doubt we will continue to do that.”

A dollop of encouraging news for Alberta arrived Friday, as OPEC cemented a deal to support higher oil prices, the discount on Canadian crude continued to narrow, and more jobs were created in the province last month.
But let’s not celebrate for too long.
tap here to see other videos from our team.
A new report warns the prospects of modest economic growth in Alberta in 2019 could be sideswiped by the provincial government’s new oil curtailment strategy.
The Conference Board of Canada estimates the plan to cut oil production by 325,000 barrels per day, beginning in January, will take a big bite out of the province’s gross domestic product (GDP) next year.
“The government’s unprecedented intervention is a desperate measure to alleviate bottlenecks and bolster prices,” it states.
“If sustained throughout the year … an 8.7 per cent (oil) reduction would take roughly 2.2 per cent out of Alberta’s GDP in 2018, potentially putting the province on course for an economic contraction.”

Can I install a power fan if I have a ridge vent already on my roof?
Mixing a power vent with a ridge vent can short-circuit the attic ventilation system just as a gable vent can as discussed above. This happens because air follows the path of least resistance. When the power vent turns on, it can pull air from the ridge vent, which could lead to weather infiltration and unbalanced airflow along the underside of the roof deck. When the power vent turns off, it acts like a roof louver — an opening on the roof without a motor. In this scenario, the ridge vent pulls its intake air from the power fan leading to possible weather infiltration and less than optimal ventilation along the underside of the roof deck.
Basically, mixing two different types of exhaust vents on the same roof that has a common attic is not recommended because it can lead to short-circuiting of the attic ventilation system.

United International Bureaux for the Protection of Intellectual Property
The United International Bureaux for the Protection of Intellectual Property (BIRPI) was an international organization. It was set up in 1893 to administer the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works and the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property. The BIRPI is the predecessor of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).
BIRPI is an acronym for Bureaux Internationaux Réunis pour la Protection de la Propriété Intellectuelle (French for "United International Bureaux for the Protection of Intellectual Property").
1883 - Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial PropertyEdit
In 1873, a pressing issue became evident for creators, in that they feared that others would steal their ideas since there was no way to regulate such things. Many exhibitors chose not to attend the International Exhibition of Inventions in Vienna, Austria that year. In 1883, the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property came about to address this issue, and became the first step in intellectual property protection.
1886 - Berne ConventionEdit
There were still some gaps in protection after the Paris Convention, so in 1886, there was the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works. This meant that creative works, such as music, books, and paintings, were also given protections.
1893 - BIRPI establishedEdit
In 1893, the International Bureau established by the Paris Convention and the International Bureau established by Berne Convention, both to carry out administrative tasks, merged to form the BIRPI.
1960 - MoveEdit
1970 - Name Change ConventionEdit
The BIRPI changed to the WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organization). The Convention changed the name, while also making it an intergovernmental organization which is led by member-states.
The last director of the BIRPI was Georg Bodenhausen.

A Fort Wayne woman was convicted on Monday of using her Chrysler PT Cruiser to break her former boyfriend's leg last year.A 12-person jury in Allen Superior Court considered the evidence and arguments for about 100 minutes Monday before convicting Katie L. Miller, 23, of battery, a Class C felony; leaving the scene of an accident causing serious bodily injury, a Class D felony; and criminal recklessness, a Class A misdemeanor. She will appear in court again next month for sentencing.
According to court documents, Fort Wayne Police said that shortly after midnight Sept. 22, they responded to a report of a hit-and-run accident and found the victim on the street. He had a compound fracture of his lower leg and was in great pain, police said. He told police that Miller had struck him in his legs with her car several times.
Police reported that the victim was hospitalized at Parkview Regional Medical Center for several days, where he had surgery to repair his leg. The repair included a steel rod from his kneecap to his ankle, and he had multiple scars after his recovery, police noted.

CLEVELAND-- A series of deadly house fires in Cleveland led the FOX 8 I-Team to go door-to-door finding out how many of you are living dangerously, taking a daily gamble by living with no smoke detectors in your home.
We found it to be kind of a risky, open secret.
Consider the grandmother helping to raise five kids in a home near East 55th Street and Broadway in Cleveland. Carol Adkins admitted she hasn’t had a smoke detector for years.
On the west side, Olivia Hill showed us where she just changed a smoke detector battery in the bedroom for her babies only hours before the I-Team came knocking. She told us the battery had died weeks ago and she kept putting off replacing it until hearing about one of the city’s recent deadly house fires.
The last time the National Fire Protection Association did a phone survey, 96 percent, almost everybody answering claimed to have a smoke detector.
Last week, when the local Red Cross reminded everyone it works with fire departments to give away free detectors, nobody stepped up to ask for one.
So how do we keep seeing fatal fires in homes with no smoke alarms or no working detectors?
Elizabeth Harris, another grandmother, allowed us in to see she has smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors all over the house. She said she tests them regularly.
But Adkins shared with us she can’t afford that.
That’s why the Red Cross teams up with fire departments throughout Northeast Ohio to inspect homes for fire safety and provide free smoke detectors for those in need.
In Cleveland, you can call 216-361-5535. Anyone throughout Northeast Ohio can also find out more at www.redcross.org/neoosal.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. — The field of agriculture continues to grow and innovate along with the times, but the biggest change may be the increased use of technology.
Brian Leake, manager at Monsanto Agriculture store, explains how technology affects the business in several ways.
“Ag is becoming more and more technological and needs a broad range of skills including majors like computer science, biochemistry, engineering, and even communications,” Leake said.
The USDA released a study in 2015 that states there will be about 60,000 ag-related job openings every year for at least the next five years, but only about 35,000 students will be graduating with related degrees.
Haley Hampton, education specialist for national FFA organization, says the decrease of degrees in the field could be because students are unaware of the opportunities.
“It’s actually a little scary that so few students actually know about the different careers in agriculture,” Hampton said.
The growth in human population and decrease in some natural resources has lead to technology becoming an important aspect.
“There’s this whole thing that we need to feed nine billion people by 2050 and how do we do that because we have less land to do it on, less resources like water and soil and so many things,” Hampton said. “We have more people to feed, and so technology has really become the answer to that.”
Ag student at Cameron R-1 High School Claire Stuedle said there is more to Agriculture than just farming.
“Agriculture is such a broad term. There’s the plant research side of agriculture, there’s the business side of agriculture, there’s the education side of agriculture,” Stuedle said.
Also available to ag students are several scholarships through businesses like Monsanto or FFA. Anyone looking to obtain a degree in agriculture can apply for a scholarship by visiting the FFA website at www.ffa.org/scholarships.
