It looks like Final Fantasy VII Remake development is going well if the latest interview comments from producer Yoshinori Kitase are anything to go by.
Speaking to Famitsu Weekly, Kitase confirmed in a small but significant update that Final Fantasy VII Remake development is “going well”, but would offer few new details beyond that.
Final Fantasy VII Remake Development Is Going Well But When Will We See More?
This kind of intermittent and slow going drip-feeding of information pertaining to the development of Final Fantasy VII Remake is something that is not unfamiliar to fans. Indeed, the last major official update on the game came in November last year when Square Enix hinted that release dates for “major” IP titles would be announced at E3 2018, leading many to believe that a date for Final Fantasy VII Remake would be one of those games to have its release date announced.
Another key development in the ongoing saga of Final Fantasy VII Remake was the earlier news that developer CyberConnect2 (they of the Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 fame, had departed the project, thus leaving the creative direction of the game with a big old question mark over it.
Finally, earlier this week Final Fantasy VII Remake found itself in the news once again as a rumour leak expounded on a number of outlandish, though in some cases plausible, details about the highly anticipated title.
Despite the fact that Final Fantasy VII Remake development is supposedly going well, the currently PS4 exclusive title is still without a release window, and in terms of more official news, it looks like E3 2018 will open the floodgates in this respect.

The efficacy of COVID-19 SCAN in clinical diagnosis is 100% specificity, 96.23% sensitivity and 98.78% accuracy
A research team led by Assoc. Professor Dr Sanchai Payungporn, Department of Biochemistry, Faculty of Medicine, Chulalongkorn University in Thailand, has accelerated the development of innovative COVID-19 test kits – “COVID-19 SCAN” which are convenient, fast, inexpensive, with efficiency, precision close to real-time PCR standards mandated by the Ministry of Public Health.
The distinctive features of the innovative COVID-19 SCAN kit are that it is a molecular test similar to real-time PCR, which can be used for both throat swab and saliva samples.
The advantage of using saliva samples is that they are easy to take and have a high infection detection rate within the first 11 days of symptoms. The swab does not cause irritation compared to nasal swabs, so it can be done as often as needed. Processing time is approximately 90 minutes to 2 hours depending on sample volume.
COVID-19 SCAN kits use a process of genomic DNA extraction and propagation under one temperature. Then, the specific genetic material is detected by the CRISPR-Cas12a system, and if it is positive, it will glow under a blue light transilluminator.
The efficacy of COVID-19 SCAN in clinical diagnosis is 100% specificity, 96.23% sensitivity and 98.78% accuracy. It also uses simple tools and less storage space. It is suitable for provincial hospitals and general clinics that do not have expensive real-time PCR machines, as well as proactive offsite testing, such as in industrial areas.
The test kits are not yet available for the general public for personal use, however, as they have yet to be administered by expert medical personnel. The cost is about 50% lower than the real-time PCR test.

Welcome to the City of Bayou Vista, Texas
The City of Bayou Vista is a single-family, residential waterfront community developed along a series of twelve (12) dredged canals which provide access to Galveston Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. Our residents can fish or crab from their docks or fish from their boat in Galveston Bay.
The City of Bayou Vista offers not only a multitude of recreational activities, but also offers the beauty of the wildlife that shares our community. Pelicans, Herons, and Mallards, are but a few species of feathered friends who also enjoy the environment of living on the salt-water canals.
The City of Bayou Vista is also very unique in that our Police Department provides 24 hour police protection. There are two entrances into Bayou Vista, with the Sailfish entrance closing at midnight and reopening at 6:00 a.m. every day. Our officers patrol 24/7 and provide our residents with a true sense of security. For those individuals who love to exercise either by running, walking, or bicycling, they will be pleasantly surprised to learn that they can enjoy the great outdoors anytime day or night.
Our Police Department also provides additional security checks for those homeowners who are on vacation or out-of-town for an extended length of time.
Along with the security that our Police Department provides, the community of Bayou Vista is also served by the Bayou Vista Volunteer Fire Department. The BVVFD provides 24/7 EMT/Fire Protection Services. The response time is less than 4 minutes which can be critical in an emergency situation. The personnel on our Fire Department are all certified EMT’s and can stabilize the individual while awaiting the ambulance.
The City of Bayou Vista is nestled near West Galveston Bay, Jones Lake and Highland Bayou, approximately 8 miles west-northwest of Galveston and about 35 miles from the bustle of Houston.
Come visit our city and discover why Bayou Vista is “Where living on the water is a way of life.”

To view some of the early history of Bayou Vista, see the following:
Mr. Edward Saconas presented an historic recollection of the actual events which led to the development of Bayou Vista and Omega Bay. This was presented at the Bayou Vista Salt Water Garden Club meeting on September 13th, 2016. It was a full house at the MUD #12 building. Mr. Saconas was a charming, informative speaker. He was there in the early days, as his father George Saconas and matriarch Louise Saconas, developed what would become some of the finest communities that we call home. What followed was the truthful tale of the building of these communities.
Mr. Saconas updated his presentation in 2019. We hope to include those files in our collection as they become available.

Goldman Sachs internal memo discontinues its role in illegal practice.
“The Global Bust-Out Series (Chapter 7): Michael Milken and the “Insider Trading” Network (as of 2013)
The "insider trading network" that the FBI is currently investigating is similar to an "insider trading" network that the FBI investigated in the 1980s--and the network is involved in much more than just "insider trading."
The jihad is a sophisticated financial enterprise that includes some of the world's most powerful billionaires. And there is evidence that the jihad is deploying financial weapons of mass destruction against the American markets.

|The train is a fully-restored steam engine dating back to the 1880s.|
I suppose you could call northern Germany’s Brocken Railway Line “the little engine that could” after the famous children’s story, but that would be doing it a disservice. I like to think of this train as “the little engine that does” — an old black steam engine that hauls vintage passenger cars up a steep mountain, only to return and do it again, time after time.
The Brocken Railway Line is part of a network of narrow-gauge railroads that service more than 20 towns and villages in the former border area between East and West Germany, about three hours west of Berlin. The trains are a throwback to a more romantic time when travel was an adventure and, perhaps, more fun.
On my recent trip, I arrived at the Drei Annen Hohne station early in the morning, part of a group of travelers waiting to go to the top of the Brocken, the mountain made famous by Goethe in his epic novel, “Faust.” Goethe, who visited the area in 1777, describes the 3,743-foot peak of the Brocken as a gathering place for witches on certain nights of the spring — and the years have done nothing but burnish that idea. In fact, every year on April 30, local villagers dress up like witches and devils and ride the rails from town to town in celebration of the Walpurgis Night pagan festival.
It was cold the day of my train ride, so I bought a chocolate bar and a steaming hot cup of coffee at the station. Outside, the train, a fully-restored steam engine dating back to the 1880s, stood next to the platform, puffing and waiting for its passengers to board.
The trip up the Brocken usually takes about 50 minutes, but as you climb, you are often subject to the vagaries of the shifting weather in the mountains. That was certainly true in our case.
It was snowing lightly when we left but, by the time we reached the top, we were in the middle of a full-blown blizzard. You couldn’t see more than several feet in front of yourself. A few in our group joined hands and walked the last few yards from the station to the mountaintop restaurant, slipping and sliding all the way. It was not the kind of thing you normally did in street clothes.
Once safely inside the restaurant, we brushed ourselves off and thawed out with a hot lunch of bratwurst and beans. Then we took a tour of the facility, which includes an old radar dome used by the East Germans to spy on the West during the Cold War.
The trip down the mountain was less eventful than the trip up. I spent part of the time standing on the platform between the cars, taking in the gorgeous snow-packed countryside and enjoying the fresh air. During the summer and fall months, the view from the top of the Brocken is spectacular, a wide panorama of the Harz Mountains that stretches in every direction for miles.
This area is also part of what has become known as the Green Belt, an 865-mile long strip of protected habitat that runs along the former border between East and West Germany. Despite the political depredations of the Cold War, this stretch of country remains relatively pristine and preserved.
That night, having arrived safely at the bottom of the Brocken, I stayed in Wernigerode, a lovely town that features a twin-spired Town Hall and a town square famous for its glittery Christmas market.
In the morning, I did some urban sightseeing, walking the cobblestoned streets and peering into the store windows. As I walked back through the town square, farmers were setting up booths and getting ready to sell their produce and fresh meats to the locals.
This part of Germany is indeed scenic and quaint, but the main event for travelers like me will always be a trip up the Brocken on one of the old steam-driven trains.
In fact, the entire train line, which was declared an historical monument in 1972, has become something of a magnet for die-hard train buffs from all over the world. On the railway’s Web site, there is an invitation for anyone over the age of 18 to ride in the locomotive with the engineer and fireman. But there is also a warning: “The trip is at one’s own risk. We recommend dark and older clothes.”
The Web site should have also added another warning: Dress warmly and be open to the unexpected; you never know what you’re going to find at the top.

This week at MWC, Intel revealed its 2015 and 2016 mobile chipset lineup, as well as the fact that the company is adopting a similar naming scheme to its Core line of processors with these new chips. They've been dubbed x3, x5, and x7, and as with the Core processors, bigger is generally better. Read More
Intel's progress into the Android ecosystem hasn't exactly been earth-shattering. The number of high-end and mid-range smartphones equipped with an ATOM CPU still number in the single digits, making the x86 architecture a fairly low priority for app developers. In addition, Intel's emulator images have always lacked support for the Google APIs, leaving developers without the ability to test common staples like Google Maps or push messaging. Read More
ARM still dominates mobile devices more than two years after Intel started making chips suitable for Android phones and tablets. The company is taking another swing at it in 2014 with the newly announced Merrifield and Moorefield chips. These processors pack updated GPUs, new 64-bit architecture, and an efficient 22nm manufacturing process. Read More
For some reason, Samsung played a bit coy when it announced a pair of new Galaxy Tab 3 models yesterday, and left out the long-rumored Intel chip powering the 10-inch version. This morning Intel let loose with a little PR of its own, finally verifying what Reuters tentatively confirmed: there's Intel inside. Read More
You think it's over? It's not over until ASUS says it is. And in addition to a handful of other hardware announcements at Computex, they've pulled the wraps off of a pair of more standard tablets in their MeMO line. The 10-inch MeMO Pad FHD (for "Full HD," we presume) is the more interesting of the two, thanks to its 1920x1080 screen IPS screen and unconventional Intel Atom processor. Read More
Today at Computex 2013, ASUS' Chairman Jonney Shih gave birth to no less than 11 products in a span of less than an hour, a surprising rate of fire we're not used to even at flagship events like MWC or CES, let alone Computex. Not bad at all, ASUS.
Undoubtedly, the most interesting and important announcement was the Transformer Book Trio, "the world’s first three-in-one mobile device." The Trio actually consists of two pieces:
- An 11.6" tablet with a 1920x1080 IPS display and 64GB of internal storage onboard, powered by a mobile-friendly 2GHz dual-core Intel Atom Z2580 chip (32nm Clover Trail+).
At the moment, mobile platforms are vastly dominated by the ARM architecture, licensed to pretty much every major chip/phone maker out there. That isn't stopping Intel from pushing forward with its x86 mobile chips. The latest taker for the Atom line is Chinese manufacturer ZTE, with the oh-so-appropriately-named ZTE GEEK. The 5-inch smartphone was announced at the Intel Developer Forum in Beijing. Read More
Intel, not to be left out of the early CES fun, had a couple of announcements for tech fans today – a low-powered platform formerly known as "Lexington," (lovingly called Atom Z2420) for "emerging" value smartphone markets, and the Atom Z2760, codenamed "Bay Trail" headed for tablets and higher-end smartphones.
Intel says that it's already found partners in Acer, Lava International, and Safaricom for the Z2420 platform, and that the chip will be capable of 1.2GHz speed, 1080p hardware acceleration, and support for two cameras (with burst mode). Read More
Speaking to Pocket-Lint at today's unveiling of the RAZR M and RAZR HD, Motorola has reportedly confirmed that the RAZR M will be announced in the UK with an Intel chip, ousting the Qualcomm S4 found in the US Verizon version. Pocket-lint says the device will also get a "name change," but that just may be referring to the dropping of the DROID branding. Read More
Intel has been conspicuously absent from the mobile arms race in recent years but 2012 is the year the company changes all that. After a significant showing at CES this year, Intel has now teamed up with Orange to deliver San Diego. No, not the city, and get used to making the distinction. Read More

Prepaid insurance should not be transferred to the corporation. This is because the insurance policies do not cover the newly formed company. Another asset that should not be transferred is the cash because it is a liquid asset.
The land inventory should be moved to the corporation. However, paragraph 85 (1.1) (f) provides that property is not eligible for transfer through rollover treatment. Land acquired on a mortgage or used to secure a mortgage does not qualify for transfer. If Mr. Smith wants to transfer the lease, he can do so by assuming the mortgage of $35,000 and ensure that the elected amount cannot exceed the fair market value of the land which is equal to $100,000 (paragraph, 85(1)(c)).
Marketable securities, furniture, and equipment, land and buildings can be transferred as provided under elections in subsections 85(1) that provides that the assets should be moved to their respective fair market value.

NASA releases first close-up image of gorgeous Pluto
Finally, NASA’s New Horizons probe has sent back first close-up photo of the Pluto’s surface. The probe traveled over 3 billion miles in more than 9 years before it could capture this image of Pluto.
NASA posted an image on Instagram with a note saying, “This stunning image of the dwarf planet was captured from New Horizons at about 4 p.m. EDT on July 13, about 16 hours before the moment of closest approach. The spacecraft was 476,000 miles (766,000 kilometers) from the surface.”
The probe was launched in 2006 and it will be passing by Pluto on Tuesday. The probe will be at a distance of 12,500 kilometers from the surface of the Pluto. This will be the first time that a probe would get so close to the dwarf planet.
The probe is travelling at a speed of 14 kilometers per second or 31,000 miles per hour. The probe had been sending images regularly back to earth, however, it was never so close to dwarf planet.
NASA will be releasing more high resolution pictures on Instagram soon.

DAVOS, SWITZERLAND—The Spengler Cup has been cancelled this year because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The annual tournament in Switzerland for the Canadian national men’s hockey team and European club teams was scheduled for Dec. 26 to 31.
It marks the fifth time the tournament has been cancelled since it started in 1923, and the first time it has been off the schedule since 1956.
The organizing committee says it would have been nearly impossible to stage an event because of safety and travel concerns.
Canada set a record with its 16th tournament victory last year.
“The health of all participating teams and that they could return to their home countries in good health, was always the highest priority in our evaluation. We cannot make that guarantee,” organizing committee president Mark Gianola said in a statement.

We’re into another year, but the biggest topic of interest continues to be the drought that we saw during most of 2012 in major ag production areas of the U.S.
Whenever we track topics read the most on our website (www.AgProfessional.com), we see that drought articles continue to receive a high click open rate—although anything about fertilizer is continuously a high interest topic year after year and season after season.
The interest in the climate, what happened to cause the drought, will the drought repeat, will the soil moisture recharge by spring and what can be done to assure a good crop in 2013 with the moisture available are all hot topics. I heard and saw the interest firsthand at the end of 2012 during the University of Missouri Crop Management Conference for growers and ag retailers.
The university and Kevin Bradley, Ph.D., associate professor and state Extension weed scientist, who was in charge of organizing the conference, included specific drought topics. There were references to the drought and how that might affect 2013 in nearly every presentation from ones about weeds and insects to soil health.
Some reports suggest that the epicenter of the drought in 2012 was in Missouri, and that parts of the state continued to be some of the driest in the nation as of the end of 2012. Pat Guinan, Ph.D., Extension assistant professor and state climatologist, said, “2012 was the warmest year on record dating back to 1895” for Missouri. It was an “incredibly warm spring and summer.”
He explained that until May 1, the state was looking fairly good for moisture—no big problems—but May through November was the driest period since 1953. Everything combined for a rapid drop into drought, including unusually low atmospheric moisture content and high temperatures.
“The sun is the driver for evaporation,” Guinan said. Solar radiation caused exceptional evaporation in 2012 with Missouri having three cloudy days in May and June, whereas in a more normal year there would be 20 cloudy days.
Guinan had the same message as has been heard throughout most of the Corn Belt. “It is highly unlikely that we’ll get the moisture needed this winter to get out of this drought in 2013.”
Of general interest at the Missouri conference was a presentation by Michael Stambaugh, Ph.D., research assistant professor of forestry at the University of Missouri, who specializes in dendrochronology, which is the scientific method of dating based on tree rings.
The University of Missouri tree ring lab has weather data based on tree rings for the past 1,000 years. Most of this dating has come from trees that have been buried for hundreds and thousands of years and were recently uncovered along river beds. Carbon dating and matching trees of overlapping years of growth allows identifying trees thousands of years old. One oak tree in Missouri was determined to be 13,870 years old, and well-preserved 23,000 year-old oaks are common in the U.S.
Related to drought, Stambaugh said, “There is a 20-year dominant cycle in drought” as observed through the 1,000-year data of tree-ring study.
And drought can be much more than one or two years. Long-term decade droughts have occurred where the precipitation levels ranged from severely low to an outlier normal year. The last long-term drought, according to tree rings in the Missouri region of the country, occurred from 1909 to 1938—the Dust Bowl years. The longest drought period in the past 1,000 years was from 1148 to 1208, Stambaugh said.
Are we headed into one of those long-term drought periods? No one knows, but it is something in the back of the mind of climatologists and others that study weather patterns.

help with vid cards :O
Posted: Sat Feb 24, 2007 8:31 pm
hey guys i need a video card upgrade and im getting ati 100% so i need to decide what to get. I could get either a x1950pro or x1950xt when the dx10s are released or get a mid range dx10 when it comes out?? (if i were to get the dx9 i would upgrade next jan)(budget=250-400)
thanks for any help you can give
Posted: Sat Feb 24, 2007 9:33 pm
Are DX10 cards not yet released where you live?
If they are, I'd recommend an 8800GTS which can be found for pretty affordable prices. Of course, if you can find a cheap X1950XT, go for it. Also, it's not really worth getting the X1950pro these days since the X1950GT is just a downclocked version of it. If you OC the GT a little, it'll perform exactly the same as its bigger brother for about 50 bucks less.
Posted: Sat Feb 24, 2007 9:41 pm
oh no i meant ati dx10 but i have crossfiremobo so i dont want to get nvid
what about the x1900xt?
prices=209 for x1950gt and 280for x1950xt and im not sure about price for x1900xt (CAD)
Posted: Sun Feb 25, 2007 3:37 am
mmh, if you can wait, I would suggest wait till the dx10 card is released (should be out in a couple of month). If you are looking for a card now, I guess 1950xt would be the choice.
Posted: Sun Feb 25, 2007 9:21 am
Sorry bout the ATI not nVidia part (dunno what happened with my reading skills). Yeah, if you can get a good deal on that X1950XT, that would be preferable. If you can find the X1900XT around 230, that would be a decent deal too. X1950GT really should be below 200.
I would just find some cheapish card to hold me over until R600 hits.
Posted: Sun Feb 25, 2007 9:56 am
I would go with the X1950Pro. On newegg it is $170, $150 after rebate.
X1950GT is $150, $140 after rebate. When the price difference is this low might as well go for the X1950Pro.
Posted: Sun Feb 25, 2007 10:00 am
but arent the dx10s being released march 14-15?? and if so wouldnt a mid range dx10 for the same price as a x1950pro offer much more performance?
btw im talking in canadian dollars:)
and if i get it from newegg its going to+ border tariffs +more expensive shipping i can just walk to a store near my house that offers fairly good deals
okay here are my choices XD
x1950GT for 209
x1950pro for 239
or x1950xt for 279 (all in cad)(and there was a recent 30$drop in x1950xt would there be more anytime soon??)
i can afford either of them but its a matter of having the money left over to be able to buy a decent dx10 card some time in q4(in other words which card would hold me over best? i read somewhere that a x1950xt has a large performance advantage over the x1950pro)so kill the x1950gt would it be better to shell out the extra 40bucks for a x1950xt?or will i be just fine with the x1950pro til q4 or q1 08( i play games like supreme commander cod2 oblivion ect)
Posted: Sun Feb 25, 2007 10:07 am
Newegg doesn't ship outside the states anyways. I've seen two reviews of the X1950GT and they showed conflicting information.
Posted: Sun Feb 25, 2007 11:11 am
x1950pro for 239 or x1950xt for 279 to hold me over til Q4 :D
Posted: Sun Feb 25, 2007 12:15 pm
Posted: Sun Feb 25, 2007 12:17 pm
heh no 1 was answering
but im using vista right now so i guess i should get the x2900GTO around the end of march
Posted: Sun Feb 25, 2007 12:32 pm
March? The R6xx cards are delayed until, at the latest, the end of May.
Posted: Sun Feb 25, 2007 1:33 pm

(KMOV) --A mother wants answers from her daughter’s bus driver. She wants to know why the woman refused to stop the bus even after her kids smelled smoke.
Police were called to reports of a fire with kids inside. National Express is the parent company of Durham services. They said one of the busses had a mechanical issue. The driver quickly pulled over and safely evacuated the students.
Tywanna Rankin has a different opinion. Her daughter's bus filled with smoke at the corner of Lynch and Ohio after school on Monday.
Kipp Inspire Academy officials said the bus was about one block from the school when the incident happened. The kids were checked out by a medical team and released.
That is not the way Rankin looks at the situation. She said the driver put her kids in danger.
“The bus filled with black smoke. They tried to exit the emergency exit, the bus driver told them no, come up here, Shut up, my life is in danger also, and proceeded to exit the bus where the smoke and fire was at the front entrance,” said Rankin.
School officials confirmed the students did exit the front of the bus, they also said they are investigating.

Earlier this week, at a party hosted by the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall, A-list celebrities got wild at the Animal Ball.
Held at Lancaster House in St. James Place, the Delevingne sisters seemed to be the number one supporters of the endangered elephant family.
While the younger Delevingne lit up the party with her outlandish, shimmering personality – and whip , older sister, Poppy, was shining literally in her glitter and sequin Dolce & Gabbana dress.
To match her dress – from the AW/13 collection, the blonde bombshell sported an amazing Giles Deacon head piece – although it appeared to be photographed mostly in her hand, rather than on her head.
Mask or not, there was no way either of these famous sisters were going incognito for the night – but 20-year-old model of the moment, Cara, gave it a shot in the dark anyway. Dressed in head-t0-toe black, wearing a Leonora Ferguson leather gimp style mask, (to match that cat o’ nine tails) she failed to remain unnoticed.
The Delevingne’s mixed among the royals – and more of society’s most glamourous faces. Adorned in fancy face-coverings, celebrities including Jerry Hall, Rupert Everett, Mario Testino, and Prince Charles were amongst the famous guest list that raised over £300,000 and counting.

"It’s kind of complicated, actually.”
Céline Sciamma had already proven herself a strong writer/director of complicated love stories involving people figuring out their own sexuality when she wrote and directed Tomboy. The film tells a story of a 10-year-old girl – our titular tomboy – who tells all the kids she’s a boy when she moves to a new neighborhood. It’s a small decision but an important one as this young kid works to figure out who she is. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we continue our 10 Year Anniversaries series with Sciamma’s 2011 film Tomboy.
Tomboy worked exceptionally well for both of us.
This story is touching and powerfully performed by the young actors in the film, notably Zoé Héran in the title role of Laure who starts going by Mickäel. The quiet intensity in this child’s performance is stunning and has to be weighted as she’s carrying Tomboy on her shoulders. On top of that, she has to play as a boy. This means taking her shirt off when her team goes skins for the football match. It’s incredible.
Sciamma gets amazing performances from the adults as well, and does a great job of not writing Laure’s parents as antagonists. Their reaction to her decision makes perfect sense as a parent and come across as loving people trying to figure all of this out themselves.
And Sciamma delivers a simple but beautiful film to look at. Many shots, notably of Laure as Mickäel, feel like still portraits and capture her struggle and strength. It’s these moments where Héran’s quiet performance really shines through.
Tomboy is a strong film about identity that feels as relevant today – if not moreso – than it did in 2011 when it was first released. The fact that Sciamma continues releasing potent, powerful, and important films dealing with this subject says a lot about her staying power as a filmmaker. We have a great time talking about this film. Check it out then tune in! The Next Reel – when the movie ends, our conversation begins!

As we learned recently, the Meizu Note 9 is set to be officially unveiled on March 6th, so in just a couple of days. The smartphone has been rumored to boast a lots of interesting specs but up until now we’ve had no confirmation. Today that changes as a new benchmark result appears on renown site GeekBench which portrays the upcoming phone in all its prowess.
As you can see in the image below, the Meizu Note 9 present on the GeekBench 4.3 database shows up with a single core score of 2404 points while the multi core score is 6027.
Meizu Note 9 Shows Up on GeekBench, Snapdragon 675 Confirmed
Although the chip model isn’t shown on the benchmark, the scores and the various data confirms the processor in question is the good Qualcomm Snapdragon 675 with a base frequency of 1.71Ghz paired with 6GB of RAM and running Android 9.0 Pie out of the box which will probably have a Flyme 8 skin on top.
Gizchina News of the week
As far as the actual benchmark scores are concerned, we’re looking at a pretty amazing CPU that beats the Snapdragon 710 (floating around 1800/5800 or so), with the single core performance doing better than the couple years old Snapdragon 835 flagship CPU. The Snapdragon 675 is a mid-range SoC released by Qualcomm last October, it’s based on the 11nm manufacturing process and adopts a 2+6 eight-core architecture.
Aside from the powerful CPU, we expect the Meizu Note 9 to also pack an extra-sharp 48MP rear shooter (not sure whether it is Samsung GM1 or Sony IMX586) with a battery capacity of 4000mAh (USB-C port) and support for fast charging. The Meizu Note 9 will then probably sport a 6.2-inch tear drop notch screen on the front and a fingerprint scanner on the back.
Meizu’s phone will go on sale (rumors) starting at 1699 Yuan ($250) for 4GB+64GB and 1899 Yuan ($280) for the 6GB+64GB variant.
As stated before with those prices they won’t sell much of those (Xiaomi Meizu and everyone else), for cuple bucks more this day’s last year’s cheap flagship can be bought & for 350~400$ you can pick almost any last year flagship. Anyhow much better & faster choice no matter how you look at it.

On this day in 1955 Disneyland, Walt Disney’s metropolis of nostalgia, fantasy, and futurism, opens. The $17 million theme park was built on 160 acres of former orange groves in Anaheim, California, and soon brought in staggering profits. Today, Disneyland hosts more than 14 million visitors a year, who spend close to $3 billion. Harper’s Index estimates that 70% of all Americans have visited Disneyland or Disney World.
Walt Disney conceived of Disneyland after visiting various amusement parks with his daughters in the 1930’s and 1940’s. He initially envisioned building a tourist attraction adjacent to his studios in Burbank to entertain fans who wished to visit, but as this site was too restrictive, he purchased the 160 acres of orange grove in Anaheim. Disney was influenced by an outing to Griffith Park with his daughters in the early 1940’s, and may have also been inspired by his father’s memories of the World’s Columbian Exposition of 1893 in Chicago, where the elder Disney had worked. Coincidentally this was the hunting ground to the first known American serial Killer, HH Holmes, as presented in “The Devil in White City.”
The Midway Plaisance in Chicago included a set of attractions representing various countries from around the world and others representing various periods of man; it also included many rides including the first Ferris Wheel, a “sky” ride, a passenger train that circled the perimeter, and a Wild West Show. Another likely influence was Benton Harbor, Michigan’s nationally famous House of David’s Eden Springs Park.
Eden Springs was developed in turn by cult patriarch Benjamin Purnell, who was accused of inappropriate relations by 13 young women confessing, under oaths to the courts, sexual relations while still minors. As soon as this became public knowledge, the Detroit Free Press and other newspapers ran critical articles about Purnell; he died in 1927.
Back to a clean story, construction began at Disneyland on July 16, 1954 and cost the mere $17 million to complete. The park was opened one year and one day later to great fanfare, with The Special Sunday, including the dedication televised nationwide and anchored by three of Walt Disney’s friends from Hollywood: Art Linkletter, Bob Cummings, and Ronald Reagan. ABC broadcast the event live, during which many guests tripped over the television camera cables. Although 28,000 people attended the event, only about half of those were actual invitees, the rest having purchased counterfeit tickets, or having hopped the fence.
Due to one absurd production wipe-out after another, and premature construction woes, the premier came to be known as “Black Sunday.” Traffic was delayed on the two-lane Harbor Boulevard. Famous figures who were scheduled to show up every two hours showed up all at once. The temperature was an unusually high 101 °F, and due to a local plumbers’ strike, Disney was given a choice of having working drinking fountains or running toilets; he chose the latter, leaving many drinking fountains dry, and generated negative publicity since Pepsi sponsored the park’s opening and disappointed guests believed the inoperable fountains were a cynical way to sell soda. Meanwhile other vendors ran out of food, and the asphalt that had been poured that morning was soft enough to cause women’s high-heeled shoes sink into it.
Undaunted, the Disney “magic” enchanted the park(s), a function of brilliance, imagination, planning, research and shit-tons of money. With the addition of new attractions, new related themed parks and the entire wrap-around concept, the name Disney is likely as recognizable as Lincoln. Disneyland alone has a larger cumulative attendance than any other theme park in the world, with 708 million guests since it opened.
In 2017, the park hosted approximately 18.3 million guests, making it the second most visited amusement park in the world that calendar year, behind sister-park Magic Kingdom. According to a March 2005 Disney report, 65,700 jobs are supported by the Disneyland Resort, including about 20,000 direct Disney employees and 3,800 third-party employees. 2017 Revenue of the entire Walt Disney Company, inclusive of all concerns, was nearly $24 billion.

A development application has been lodged for an External Dining Area at Toombul Shopping Centre, located at 1015 Sandgate Road, Nundah.
Designed by Thomson Adsett, the proposal seeks to provide a new roof extending out from the existing shopping centre façade, providing weather protection to this ground floor paved area, beside the entrance to Toombul Shopping Centre.
The new covered dining area will be used by existing retail tenancies within the Toombul Shopping Centre and provide alfresco dining opportunities that will encourage the use of the Centre during the afternoon and evening.
– New Outdoor Dining area (298sqm)
– Open design linked to centre entrance
– Screening and timber batten finish
– Retained hedge (small section removed)
– New pedestrian crossing location
– Steel structure to match façade
– New floor finish with some pavement retained
The proposal does not involve any internal refurbishments or additional frontage activation along this section of the Toombul Shopping Centre.
According to the planners at Planning Initiatives, “the creation of an additional outdoor dining area is a stepping stone in creating a an 18 hour-a-day 7 day-a-week activity centre, which will significantly improve the vibrancy and liveliness of the Centre, which will further support the centres role as a major retail precinct”.

The tipping point in the U.S. for renewables vs. fossil fuels is happening much faster than I anticipated. The Guardian reports:
Coal in the US is now being economically outmatched by renewables to such an extent that it’s more expensive for 99% of the country’s coal-fired power plants to keep running than it is to build an entirely new solar or wind energy operation nearby, a new analysis has found.
The new analysis, conducted in the wake of the $370bn in tax credits and other support for clean energy passed by Democrats in last summers’ Inflation Reduction Act, compared the fuel, running and maintenance cost of America’s coal fleet with the building of new solar or wind from scratch in the same utility region.
On average, the marginal cost for the coal plants is $36 each megawatt hour, while new solar is about $24 each megawatt hour, or about a quarter cheaper. Only one coal plant – Dry Fork in Wyoming – is cost competitive with the new renewables. “It was a bit surprising to find this,” said Solomon. “It shows that not only have renewables dropped in cost, the Inflation Reduction Act is accelerating this trend.”
To be clear - coal isn't going anywhere soon - but, looking strictly at the economics of operating costs, as renewables continue to widen the gap in per mWh production costs, market forces will drive the shift away from dirty production to clean energy sources. After all, it's hard to argue to shareholders that $12+ per mWh in lost profits is a sound business strategy. Pure greed - with a generous assist from The Invisble Hand - will ultimately drive energy producers to diversify their energy production portfolios or risk shareholder revolt.

A general warranty deed is also referred to as a warranty deed or a house deed. It’s an official document that confirms ownership or transfers ownership of a property from one party to another. This deed offers full warranties and guarantees of a property’s title to the new owner. If you’re taking ownership of a property or you’re gifting a property to a friend or family member, you may be responsible for providing a general warranty deed when closing on the property.
On a general warranty deed, the current property owner or seller is referred to as the “grantor” while the new property owner or buyer is called the “grantee.” The general warranty deed is an important document in a property transaction because it’s a guarantee from the grantor to the grantee that the title can be transferred without defects, errors, or issues. When you close on a property as a grantee with a general warranty deed, you have full security and don’t have to worry about title issues.
Table of Contents
Covenant of Further Assistance
With a general warranty deed, the grantor, or current property owner, is legally bound by how the property is conveyed. In most states, these legal bindings are laid out through six specific covenants or warranties, including:
- Covenant of right to convey: Property ownership has not been promised to any other party.
- Covenant of seisin: The current owner has a legal interest in the property.
- Covenant against encumbrances: All encumbrances have been disclosed to the new owner.
- Covenant of quiet enjoyment: The new owner or any owner of the property thereafter will be able to enjoy the property without being disrupted by a party claiming to have ownership rights.
- Covenant of warranty: The current owner will protect the new owner in case someone does attempt to claim ownership of the property.
- Covenant of further assurances: The grantor will do whatever is necessary to fix any problems with the title, if any occur.
Quitclaim vs. General Warranty Deed
A quitclaim deed is different than a general warranty deed because it provides no actual warranties within the title. With a quitclaim deed, the grantee takes on the risk of title defects or issues and the grantor makes no guarantees about these issues.
In most cases, quitclaim deeds are only used to correct misspellings in owners’ names or when a property is gifted between friends and family members. However, it’s important to note that with a quitclaim deed, the grantee takes on the risk that there may be other owners or claimants to the property.
Special Warranty vs. General Warranty Deed
A special warranty deed is also sometimes called a limited warranty deed, grant deed, covenant deed, or statutory warranty deed. While similar to a general warranty deed, a special warranty deed also has its differences. With a special warranty deed, the grantor only promises that there are no title defects or issues within the timeframe of his or her ownership. No promises are made about the title history from before the grantor owned the property.
A special warranty deed’s only promises is that the current owner can provide the title of the property and that it was not encumbered at any time during ownership. Therefore, there is still some risk taken on by the buyer or grantee with a special warranty deed. These types of deeds are usually used more for commercial transactions since investors may not know or want to deal with the history of a property’s title during these transactions.
Common Uses of General Warranty Deeds
The most common use of a general warranty deed is during the sale of a property. The grantor takes on all risk to ensure the grantee feels comfortable purchasing the property and will have all rights to the property after closing.
If you’re buying a home, at closing, you should be provided with a general warranty deed that names you as the grantee and the previous owner as the grantor. If any party attempts to claim ownership of the property, this general warranty deed protects you as the sole property owner. It’s the grantor’s responsibility to resolve these issues for you.
Outside of the sale of a property, general warranty deeds are rarely used. When a property is given to an heir through a will or when a friend or family member gifts a property to another party, general warranty deeds are usually avoided. The grantor doesn’t want to take on the risk of guaranteeing a full warranty of title. Since the grantor isn’t making money off the transaction, he or she may not feel comfortable being responsible for title issues that may arise.
How Does a General Warranty Deed Work?
To be a legally binding document, a general warranty deed must include specific information and meet certain guidelines. These guidelines can vary by state, such as the font size and page format. Therefore, it’s important to understand the regulations a warranty deed must meet in your state before you close on a property.
There are certain pieces of information a general warranty deed must include that are the same in every state, such as:
- A legal description of the property.
- An indication of the consideration (or money) transferred during the transaction, if any.
- Notarized signatures of the grantor and grantee.
- A description of how the grantees will hold the title, if there is more than one grantee.
When you close on a house, there are many financial and real estate-related terms you’ll need to know. Understanding a general warranty deed and the importance of this legally binding document can help ensure you have a smooth closing and know your responsibilities as the property owner.

It looks like the Knowles & Carters clans are working overtime to let us all know that they’ve squashed their beef. I guess they figured we saw the epic fight between Jay Z and Solange go down, so we can see them be a big, happy family.
The Carters met Solange in New Orleans and Beyoncé posted pictures from their family-friendly lunch. Ok we get it, you guys get along. But we’re definitely happy to see it!
This time Mama Tina Knowles, Solange’s son Juelz and boyfriend was there too.
Bey shared pictures via Tumblr Monday.
Jay Z, Beyonce and Solange made news last week after a surveillance video of Solange beating up Jay Z went viral. They released a joint statement together that reads, “As a result of the public release of the elevator security footage from Monday, May 5th, there has been a great deal of speculation about what triggered the unfortunate incident. But the most important thing is that our family has worked through it. Jay and Solange each assume their share of responsibility for what has occurred. They both acknowledge their role in this private matter that has played out in the public. They both have apologized to each other and we have moved forward as a united family.”

A day after NAB announced a sharp drop in profits as a result of soaring bad debts at its UK banks, analysts have levelled a barrage of criticism and warned that the troubles are far from over, amid concerns of a further rise in problem loans.
CLSA banking analyst Brian Johnson noted NAB’s investment in the UK predated Mr Clyne’s appointment as chief executive in 2009 but said the issue should have been dealt with sooner.
“Clyne/Chaney could probably argue that this reflects legacy issues . . . but we note that the legacy issues, which have been obvious for many years, are only now being addressed," Mr Johnson said in a report to clients.
The bank announced on Wednesday that its net profit fell by $1.1 billion to $4.1 billion for the 12 months ended September 30, its first downturn in profit since the global financial crisis in 2009. NAB raised its provisions to cover for losses from bad debts by $793 million over the year to $2.6 billion, mostly as a result of mounting problems at the bank’s Clydesdale and Yorkshire banks in Britain.
As well as the UK, there are growing concerns of more losses on business loans in Australia, where NAB has a relatively higher exposure than the other major banks.
“One of the most contentious issues of the NAB result was its elevated level of bad and doubtful debt charges and the adequacy of its provisioning coverage," UBS analyst Jonathan Mott said. “NAB is generally regarded to have a higher risk book than its peers."
Deutsche Bank analyst James Freeman said: “We see further potential for negative bad debt surprises, given lower provisioning relative to peers."
Mr Johnson, who lowered his rating on NAB from “buy" to “outperform", acknowledged Mr Clyne had taken firm steps to reduce the risk profile of the bank in the past year.
But he warned that NAB’s poor profit result and share price underperformance would “galvanise calls for management-board accountability" and raise the prospect of a protest vote against the bank’s remuneration report at its annual general meeting in December.
Mr Johnson said there was “growing disquiet among institutional investors" and urged Mr Clyne to give up the strategy of having lower home loan interest rates than the other big four banks.
Goldman Sachs analyst Ben Koo said repricing of loans would be a positive but that “uncertainty remains around risks of a further deterioration in asset quality".

MISSING 14 year old Hounslow girl Ciara Richards has been found safe and well today.
Her mother, Kerry Richards, spoke of her distress this week during the latest hunt for her daughter.
She spoke to The Chronicle this week while a search was in full swing for Ciara, who had been missing from her foster home in Hayes since Tuesday April 26.
It is the 11th time she has gone missing in less than a year.
Speaking earlier this week, Mrs Richards, who lives on Wellington Road, said: "It's so worrying. It's exhausting.
"I have managed to find her the other times by just asking around a lot, knocking on doors and speaking to lots of people. I have been looking since April 26, but I have to think about my children at home too."
Police today released a statement saying: "Police recently appealed for help in tracing missing teenager Ciara
Richards.She has today, Friday 6 May, been found safe and well."

The latest comes from Apple leaker Shadow_Leak, giving us a rundown of the iPhone 14 Pro. So, let’s take a look at the specs.
ZDNET Recommends The 10 best smartphones Whatever your priorities – from 5G to an amazing camera – there’s a phone here to meet your every need. Read now 6.06-inch flexible OLED screen, 120HzI’ve heard rumors that the display will be bigger than this. The size and refresh rate here are the same as the current panel.LTPOThis stands for Low-Temperature Polycrystalline Oxide, and it is a technology that allows AMOLED displays to run at higher refresh rates and still be power efficient.(2532×1170) resolution & 460 PPIIdentical to the current iPhone 13 Pro display,A16 Bionic (4nm TSMC)Pretty obvious it’s going to be a new chip, and this name is quite predictable.6GB LPDDR5 RAMSame as current iPhone 13 Pro lines, although some rumors point to a bump to 8GB.128GB/256GB/512GB/1TB storageNothing new here.48MP (1/1.3-inch sensor)+12MP+12MP rearThis bump in main camera specs would offer improved detail (at least on paper) and also result in larger photos (requiring users to have more storage or pay for iCloud).Pill-shaped notchA smaller notch at the top of the display is something Apple is continually working towards.Titanium alloy frameSo a move away from the existing stainless steel frame.6GB+128GB: $1099That’s a bump of $100, and if true, you could expect this across the board.
What’s interesting here is how similar these specs are to the iPhone 13 line, with a few tweaks here and there. This might be what Apple needs to keep costs down, simplify the supply chain, and justify that $100 price rise by adding a better camera. With the possible exception of the display – I’m leaning towards the idea that it will be a slightly bigger display – this feels credible to me. Trying to release a revolutionary iPhone during a time of tight supply chains and spiraling costs doesn’t make sense. A more evolutionary iPhone 14 makes more sense. Keep in mind that these are rumored specs and that the first official confirmation we’ll get from Apple is when the iPhone 14 is unveiled this fall.

Buenos Aires must be the ultimate cosmopolitan city. With Latin passion, European elegance and a distinctive style all of its own, this is a city that will steal your heart. The Portenos (local residents) are justifiably proud of their city which is comprised of distinct neighbourhoods, each with its own style. If you arrive early, why not visit San Telmo and its weekend antiques market and artists' displays, La Boca home to the world-class football team Boca Juniors, Recoleta with its ornate and grand cemetery or Casa Rosada (Pink House) among other attractions? On the afternoon of our last day in Buenos Aires, we take a comfortable overnight bus to to the Ibera Wetland region in the north of Argentina.
We spend the next two days in the Ibera Wetlands where opportunities for wildlife watching abound. The wetlands cover an area the size of Belgium, so there’s plenty to explore. Roam the marshes, lagoons and grasslands, and keep an eye out for a rich array of wildlife; howler monkeys, capibaras, alligators, marsh deer, wolves and hundreds of species of birds all call the wetlands home.
Today is a long travel day. We start off with a 4x4 transfer to the city of Posada, from where we take a comfortable local bus to Puerto Iguazu. During our time in Iguazu we will visit the Argentinian and Brazilian side of the falls. At over 2 km long, Iguazu Falls are actually a series of cataracts. There are over 270 falls in all, and with some reaching up to 80m in height, they are wider than Victoria Falls and higher than Niagara. Iguazu means 'Great Waters' in the Tupi-Guarani tongue. The Brazilian park features a number of cleverly constructed walkways that allow you to get right out over the water up close to the falls themselves. You will often be able to see fantastic rainbows forming as the sun catches the spray. If you want the ultimate waterfall experience, you can also organise a helicopter flight.
Rio de Janeiro
Rio de Janeiro
Today we fly from Iguazu to Rio de Janeiro. The locals like to say that 'God made the world in six days, the seventh he devoted to Rio'. In this heaving metropolis, set against the luminescent green of Guanabara Bay and surrounded by the slopes of Sugar Loaf Mountain and Corcovado, it's hard not to be caught up in the Cariocas' (residents) passion. Rio is deservedly famous for its live music scene, which encompasses myriad styles such as samba, jazz, bossa nova, hip hop, reggae, rock and many other fusions of regional styles. The neighbourhood of Lapa offers great dance halls where you can join locals in some serious dancing - or just soak up the vibe. For some seriously eye-popping people watching, head to the white sand beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema - skimpy bathing suits optional.

What It Is: What happens when you flush a pet fish down the Holo John? (Hint: It fantasizes it was a shark instead!) Or what if the Holo John gains sentience and "dreams of electric pee"? All that and more are covered in this collection of short stories about the Bravest Warriors’ out-of-this-world outhouse. Who knew they used their emotions-based powers in the loo, too?
WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT: If you’ve ever watched a TV show and wanted to know more about one of the supporting characters, you’ll like REGULAR SHOW: SKIPS. Skips is one of the least vocal characters on the show, so you’ll appreciate he’s the main dude for once, because it’s usually the quiet ones you have to watch out for!
WHAT IT’S ABOUT: In an effort to lift morale at the Park, Pops sends Skips, Mordecai, Rigby, and Benson on a vacation of Skips’ choosing, which takes them to...another park? Skips just wants a peaceful few days with nature but this vacation has other plans. Trapped in a day that will never end, Skips must rely on the help of a new friend to stop the park from exploding and hopefully save the world in the process. Written and illustrated by the crazy talented Mad Rupert (SAKANA), this is a REGULAR SHOW adventure you’ll never want to end!
