How do you draw inspiration from world famous iconic pop artists to reimagine movie posters for the Academy Award Best Picture nominees?
Shutterstock’s talented in-house designers each channelled the style and aesthetic of a particular artist to recreate one of the eight nominated films using imagery from Shutterstock’s library.
In 2019 I tackled "Roma" — I went for a 1970’s Jack "King" Kirby cover and kept the elements in black and white – both like the film and the sketches Kirby would make before illustrating his characters in color. In the poster, Cleo is steadfast despite the impending riot and crashing waves that threaten to overtake her.
In 2020; for the World War I film "1917" by Sam Mendes, I was inspired by David Carson, an American graphic designer, art director, and surfer. Best known for his innovative magazine design and use of experimental typography on Ray Gun magazine; his aesthetic defined the so-called ‘grunge typography’ era. I decided to use Carson’s layered, chaotic style to depict the ‘fog of war’ and how planning and order go out the window in battle.”
The result was worldwide coverage and acclaim from magazines such as AdAge, The Drum and Design Jungle, culminating in 2019 with our team winning Graphic Design USA magazine's 'American Graphic Design Award' for "best Poster series".

The Modern Medical Imaging Ltd. (KORKÉP) works to improve medical imaging care while simultaneously participating in clinical studies as an imaging facility. One of their long-term goals is to be able to continue working as an Imaging Core Lab in the future, based on their excellent professional performance, and so serve as a direct professional partner for pharmaceutical companies. The main objective of the project was to provide a solution that comprehensively understands and automates the process of conducting clinical trials. The application had to have standardized processes for a wide variety of clinical trial process cases: quotation, contracting, HR resource management, administration and finances.
The client's professional team has much experience in organizing and conducting clinical trials. The biggest challenge for us was to understand the business logic that we had to recreate in the form of codes, and we were also involved in shaping the concept.
By the end of the project, we created an application that fundamentally simplifies all administrative, HR and financial processes of clinical trials. We attribute our success to expert project preparation, both from business and technological perspectives.
It was a great success to integrate our solutions into our customer's everyday life immediately after handing over the app we created, removing the administrative burden from their shoulders and making the entire business process more transparent.

Stabenow sets four farm bill hearings, says commodity title most challenging
February 01, 2012 | 09:31 AM
Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich.
Senate Agriculture Committee Chairman Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., told The Hagstrom Report today that she will hold four hearings in February and March in anticipation of bringing the farm bill to the floor before the House acts.
Stabenow said she does not know when Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., would bring it to the floor, but said that she and Senate Agriculture ranking member Pat Roberts, R-Kans., “want to be able to move it as soon as we can so [House Agriculture Committee Chairman Frank Lucas, R-Okla.] has the time he needs in the House.”
In an exclusive interview, Stabenow said that the hearing schedule will be:
- Feb. 15 — An overview focused on energy and rural development
- Feb. 29 — Conservation
- Mar. 14 — Healthy food initiatives
- Mar. 21 — Commodities and risk management
Even though the supercommittee on deficit reduction failed to complete its work, Stabenow said the work she and Lucas did preparing the proposal they submitted to it “was a very important process for us, very clarifying.”
“I really feel like we have developed a lot of good work already,” she said. “We developed relationships that are positive. We know where we still need to work.”
The commodity title “is the area where we have the most work to do,” Stabenow acknowledged. Noting that commodity groups are meeting this week to discuss their differences and try to reach consensus, she said, “I have been urging them to get together.”
“We can’t sustain direct payments with prices high,” she said, but added that it is very important to maintain a safety net “because there is nothing more risky than farming.”
“We don’t want any farmer losing the farm because of a few days of bad weather,” she said. “It is not in our security interests as a country.”
Reacting to Lucas’s statements that it would be hard to develop a single program that will work for all commodities, Stabenow said she has heard “loud and clear,” including at the farm bill hearing she held in Lansing, Mich., that crop insurance is “the No. 1 management tool,” but that crop insurance is not available for all crops.
“That is where the challenge comes in.,” she said. “I am very confident we can come together on a set of tools.”
She said crop insurance doesn’t work for every commodity.
“What we need is continued input and discussion,” Stabenow said. “I am confident we can come together around an approach that will be effective for all of our growers.”

Local health officials inspect SLAS food services on a regular basis. We have always been given top rating on safety and cleanliness. Imagine our surprise when we were visited by health service officials a few days after our latest inspection and old that a number of Japanese children and their parents suffered digestive problems after eating lunch provided after Saturday’s Japanese Kindergarten graduation ceremony.
The lunch was catered by an outside agency, and did not involved Shanghai Livingston American School’s food service. Health officials asked if SLAS had refrigerated, heated, or served the lunch using school utensils. The school was not involved in the preparation or serving of the luncheon in anyway and was exonerated by the Health officials for any responsibility in the mishap. Nevertheless, we are sorry that our children and parents suffered “tummy problems” after such a beautifully organized and uplifting ceremony.

ABOUT SKYDIVE QATAR
Skydive Qatar is a world-class skydiving facility. We integrate advanced training programs while enjoying the sport of skydiving with new and experienced jumpers alike. We offer Tandem Skydiving, AFF training programs and modern facilities for our clients and experienced jumpers.
A FEW THOUGHTS ON SAFETY
Our dropzone location provides some of the best and most consistent weather for skydive operations in the region.
While that makes for a great place to come and enjoy a day of skydiving, it also increases the need for us to be mindful of what we are doing. Our sport carries heavy consequences for the complacent skydiver and everyone around them. But complacency isn’t always the main cause of accidents - sometimes it’s just because two people weren’t on the same page about something as simple as the direction of the landing pattern.
When you visit Skydive Qatar for the first time we will discuss the rules of the DZ, and everything from how we load the aircraft to how and where it is acceptable to land our canopies at Skydive Qatar.

December 15, 2010
I first came upon the term “food justice” from an organization in Oakland called People’s Grocery led by Brahm Ahmadi and others who were fighting against an unjust food system in the “food desert” of West Oakland. At the time, it was an area that left residents with liquor stores and corner stores instead of grocery stores, a high prevalence of obesity and diet-related disease, and food dollars from hard-earned incomes that left the community through “leakage.” In fact, it was this food justice term “leakage” that really tweaked my economic and social justice sensibilities. A 2004 study showed that for every dollar spent at a locally-owned business, 68 cents stayed within the local community, while only 43 cents of every dollar spent at a chain store stayed within the community. Ahmadi lives these numbers, working hard to bring a grocery store into West Oakland, which will create jobs and build the local economy, all while providing healthier food to the residents.
Gottlieb and Joshi’s book title, Food Justice, is the rallying cry of organizations like People’s Grocery and many others, and this book offers a fresh perspective on some of the food system issues that advocates in the various wings of the food movement have been writing about for a long time. The new angle that Food Justice takes is to examine those food system issues through a “food justice” lens. The authors explain what that means: “A food justice orientation critiques and assesses the changing nature of food production and processing. It focuses on the need to reverse the disappearance of small farmers and farm-workers, along with the need to craft a different way to relate to the land and grow food. At the center of the food justice ethos is the demand for justice in the fields and work-places that produce and process foods, and for recognition of the dignity of work and basic human rights for those who have been denied such rights.”
In fact, the book goes beyond the production and processing of food to discuss food justice issues on the consumption side as well, with sections on low-income access to food, school food, the marketing of food, and food security. At the end of each chapter a great summary is provided that reminds us to stay true to the food justice perspective amidst the various interconnected food system issues.
I appreciated immensely the detailed sections on the history of the Farm Bill and the history of school food. In engaging detail, readers are taken through the history of one of the most important omnibus bills that exists, a bill that helps shape what we grow and what we eat. The book follows the original farm bill (called the Agricultural Adjustment Act) in 1933 in the depths of The Great Depression, to the 1950s and 60s when the Cold War shaped much of our desire to export food throughout the world from our vast surpluses. It also covers the 1970s when farmers were told to plant “fencerow to fencerow,” even as prices continued to drop and small farms were steadily disappearing. There is a powerful passage about the politics of school food. In the 1960s, the implementation of the National School Lunch Program was controlled by school administrators who had levels of prejudice that drastically stigmatized low-income students who received free lunch. “In Mississippi, for example, children receiving free and reduced-cost lunches were required to wait at the back of the lines until paying students had received their lunch … In Tucson, Ariz.,, low-income children were required to work on lunchroom chores such as sweeping floors or cleaning the washrooms in order to receive a free lunch.” Even a food system researcher will find new stories and new truths in this book.
The authors discuss a movement in India that keeps individuals connected to home-cooked food in the face of long commutes to the cities and an urban lifestyle. For 120 years, “dabbawallahs” have served home-cooked lunches to more than 200,000 people in Mumbai, picking up lunches from people’s own homes and delivering it to them in offices throughout the city.
This story hit a nerve for me, as I have experienced the search for fast, convenient and tasty food while working an office job. However, I have also experienced the U.S. version of the “dabbawallah” when I was teaching high school in Richmond, Calif. One of my students and her family would run a similar business where the family would make homemade enchiladas, pupusas, tacos, etc., and deliver them to teachers and administrators in the school three times a week. At the time, I saw the food as an opportunity for a struggling immigrant family to make some much-needed money, but now I cherish those meals as a way for me to connect to someone’s process of using fresh ingredients to make homemade food and earn an honest living while sharing their food culture. The motivation may still be financial, but this model creates jobs and can improve health while offering an alternative to corporate-owned fast food. It’s another example of how immigrant communities provide such valuable lessons to America.
This inspiring book provides endless examples of real people fighting real challenges and finding new ways to change the food system.

2019 John Sattler Rookie of the Year - Corey Allan
Rabbitohs young gun Corey Allan has been awarded the John Sattler Rookie of the Year for 2019 after a fantastic start to his NRL career.
As a versatile outside back Allan made 19 first grade appearances, scoring three tries, breaking 28 tackles and averaging 69 metres per game.
His highlight game was the round ten win over Canberra delivering two clutch plays in the dying moments, including knocking the ball out of Jarrod Croker’s hands which ultimately confirmed victory.
While making his NRL debut in 2019, Allan made history last year becoming the first player to represent the Australian Prime Minister's XIII before making his NRL debut where he scored a try.
Allan was presented with the award by Souths Juniors President Keith McCraw, becoming the 19th recipient of the award.
The South Sydney Rabbitohs would like to congratulate Corey on being named the John Sattler Rookie of the Year for 2019.

The first of twelve Korean Aerospace Industries FA-50
fighter aircraft sold to the Philippines through a government-to-government deal with South Korea in 2013 has successfully completed
its first test flight, with the first deliveries expected by December, when the Philippines will receive its first two FA-50s ahead of schedule
. The full dozen should be delivered by 2017, with the Korean fighter/trainers a strategic interim as the Philippines looks ahead to acquiring more capable multi-role aircraft.
T-50 Golden Eagle
South Korea’s T-50 Golden Eagle family offers the global marketplace a set of high-end supersonic trainer and lightweight fighter aircraft. They’re hitting the international market at a good time: just as many of the world’s jet training fleets are reaching ages of 30 years or more, and high-end fighters are pricing themselves out of reach for many countries.
Most recently, Thailand is increasing its defense budget and the speed of its procurement process to, among other things, procure a replacement for its aging L-39. The T-50 is one of three candidates.
The ROK’s defense industry is advancing on all fronts these days. Its shipbuilding industry, one of the world’s busiest, is beginning to turn out its own LHDs, and even high-end KDX-III AEGIS destroyers. On the armored vehicle front, Korea’s XK2 tank and K9/K10 self propelled howitzer are beginning to win export orders, and its XK-21/KNIFV amphibious infantry fighting vehicle may not be too far behind. All fill key market niches, promising performance at a comparatively inexpensive price. Now its aerospace industry is in flight abroad with the KT-1 turboprop basic trainer, complemented by the T-50 jet trainer, TA-50 LIFT advanced trainer & attack variant, and FA-50 lightweight fighter.
The TA-50 and FA-50 are especially attractive as lightweight export fighters, and the ROKAF’s own F-5E/F Tiger II and F-4 Phantom fighters are more than due for replacement. The key question for the platform is whether it can find corresponding export sales.

General Atomics was awarded a production contract for eight additional MQ-9 Reaper
Block 5 UAVs on Wednesday, with this $72.1 million contract
following a similar $279.1 million order for 24 of the aircraft last month
The MQ-9 Reaper UAV, once called “Predator B,” is somewhat similar to the famous Predator. Until you look at the tail. Or its size. Or its weapons. It’s called “Reaper” for a reason: while it packs the same surveillance gear, it’s much more of a hunter-killer design. Some have called it the first fielded Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle (UCAV).
The Reaper UCAV will play a significant role in the future USAF, even though its capability set makes the MQ-9 considerably more expensive than MQ-1 Predators. Given these high-end capabilities and expenses, one may not have expected the MQ-9 to enjoy better export success than its famous cousin. Nevertheless, that’s what appears to be happening. MQ-9 operators currently include the USA and Britain, who use it in hunter-killer mode, and Italy. Several other countries are expressing interest, and the steady addition of new payloads are expanding the Reaper’s advantage over competitors…

Maj. Gen. Michael Lundy, the Army's aviation chief, indicated that in facing two competing technologies from two vendors for the medium-capacity variant of the Future Vertical Lift program, the Army would like both. One can be fitted for the troop carrying role, and the other for the attack/reconnaissance role. The Bell V-280 Valor (tilt rotor) has been theoretically competing against the Sikorsky/Boeing SB>1Defiant. Lundy told BreakingDefense.com
that the decision was akin to the split between the Apache versus the Black Hawk.
The plan depends on the assumption
- that other services have not been quite as bold in making - that sequestration will be lifted for FY 2016 onward. Lundy's tone was fatalistic, indicating that the Army was planning for that one rosy scenario because the others - however likely - wouldn't suit: "If we went to the worst case, it would affect almost every modernization program we’ve got in our branch."
In addition to vanquishing sequestration, the Army's modernization plans hinge on Congress approving their ARI plan, which involves shelving Kiowas and replacing that reconnaissance capacity with Apaches taken from reserve units, among other decisions that would be unpopular in many individual congressional districts.
The future is now
The JMR-TD program is the science and technology precursor to the Department of Defense’s estimated $100 billion Future Vertical Lift program, which is expected to replace between 2,000-4,000 medium class UH-60 utility and AH-64 attack helicopters after 2030.
In reality, FVL will fall far short of that number if it ever goes ahead, but those figures are the current official fantasy. While they’re at it, the Pentagon wants breakthrough performance that includes the same hovering capability as smaller armed scout helicopters, and a 100+ knot improvement in cruising speed to 230+ knots. That’s almost certainly achievable, thanks to new developments that involve very different helicopter designs.

Latest updates[?]: More TALON naval/ land testing; TALON RRWS detailed.
Sen. Leahy’s [D-VT] worked in the mid-2000s to keep the Hydra 70mm rocket family alive through special appropriations, just in time for the Hydras’ potential on the battlefield to rise again. The key was the addition of low-cost precision guidance, which would expand the number of precision weapons carried by helicopters, aircraft, and even UAVs.
Over the last few years, the US Army’s 2nd attempt at an APKWS 70mm guided rocket had a near-death experience, before righting the program with Navy funding. Meanwhile, private development efforts are introducing new competitors into the precision-guided rocket space: Lockheed Martin, Thales TDA, and a raft of international partnerships involving major defense firms and partners in Korea, the UAE, Canada/Norway, and Israel. This DID FOCUS article covers the most prominent competitors within the guided rocket trend. Their products will sit between full anti-armor missiles like Hellfire, TOW, and Brimstone, and an emerging class of ultra-small precision attack weapons like Northrop Grumman’s Viper Strike, Raytheon’s Griffin, etc.

armieda cosmetic surgery centre plastic surgery clinic in from Cosmetic Surgery In Ahmedabad, source:whatclinic.com
Cosmetic surgical treatment is not as new an plan as it may possibly feel. It absolutely was first produced in India all around 2000 BC. Operation for aesthetic uses crossed a serious threshold concerning attractiveness with the progress of the Hollywood movie business; as these days, lots of movie actors and actresses obtained their sculpted characteristics at the least in part via cosmetic medical procedures. Now, lots of techniques are practiced worldwide, and therefore are priced in this sort of a means that millions of people today are actually ready to undergo beauty surgery in the previous couple of years alone Skincare Cosmetics Retinol Night Cream Review.
From the US on your own, inside the calendar year 2008, in excess of 1,760,000 beauty surgical strategies have been executed (all figures gathered through the American Modern society for Aesthetic Cosmetic surgery). 90 % of clients were females, but the proportion of gentlemen undergoing beauty surgical procedure carries on to raise annually as well, which can be at the very least partly since corresponding stigmas became considerably less pronounced and males at the moment are expected to become concerned with regards to their visual appeal in addition. The top strategies for females with regard to popularity are breast augmentation, liposuction, blepharoplasty (cosmetic eyelid surgery), abdominoplasty (generally known as a tummy tuck), and breast reduction, when the most common methods for men are liposuction, rhinoplasty (cosmetic surgical treatment for your nose), blepharoplasty, gynecomastia, or male breast reduction operation, and hair transplantation.
Men and women aged 35-50 years are most likely to hunt beauty surgery; this shows that getting old may be the largest variable bringing about persons having an desire in cosmetic operation, perhaps since genetics or attributes current from beginning are usually taken care of at a younger age. More than 70% of people condition that they're not ashamed to convey that they have received cosmetic surgical procedure, which implies that cosmetic medical procedures is often a socially recognized apply.

Vice President of UEFA Laura McAllister is urging women to force their way into the boardroom in a bid to create change at the top of women’s football.
McAllister has been integral in the developing the women’s game during her storied career both on the pitch as a former Wales national team player and off the pitch as a member of UEFA Executive Committee.
But it hasn’t all been smooth sailing, with the Welshwoman clearly remembering the intimidating moment she walked into the UEFA board room as the only woman.
Now on a mission to create change in the game from the governance within, McAllister is now speaking out on the importance of more women having a voice at the table, even if that means filling quotas.
“I discovered at the age of 12 that I couldn’t play football with the boys any longer and I remember this raging sense of injustice of that even then,” she said, speaking at the Women In Football Be Inspired Conference in partnership with Barclays.
“It’s always been about making the sport better for the next generation and we were fortunate enough to convince the FA of Wales to take over the women’s national team back in 1994 and I went on play for the team 24 times.
“For me, it’s about using the practical experience of playing to change the way that football is run.
“At times it’s been a lonely place, walking into the room as the only woman at UExCo and at constantly being the only woman in the room.
“We need to be more up front about making sure women are there on those boards and if that takes quotas then that’s fine because quotas are needed when you don’t have a meritocracy and we obviously don’t have promotions based on merit in football at the moment.”
McAllister knows that she is not alone in the difficulties she has faced on her journey to the top and noted that the change she pushes for everyday is part of a need to inspire a confidence in the past and future women in football.
“There are times when it’s difficult but we have to remember that we’re doing it for the younger generations coming through and for the older generation who have paved the way for us,” she said.
“Anybody who says they don’t occasionally feel intimidated is kidding themselves but I know when I look around UEFA ExCo that I know just as much or more about football than the other people there.
“You just need to remind yourself of that merit for being there and give yourself that inner confidence.”
McAllister was invited to be a speaker on a panel entitled ‘Governing the Game: The urgent need for reform’ at the recent Women In Football Be Inspired Conference in partnership with Barclays.
The two-day event at Wembley Stadium was attended by approximately 800 people, with McAllister speaking on how crucial ‘unsexy’ governance in the progression of the women’s game.
“It was a great panel and discussion about the governance of women’s football and women’s sport more generally affects the outcomes,” she said.
“It seems to me that until you get the governance in sport right you simply won’t make the right decisions that create the positive trajectory for women in football.
“Decisions are made around the table and committees and we don’t have enough women’s voices being heard at that level.
“It might be the unsexy bit of football but governance is fundamental in developing the women’s game in a way that’s sustainable.”

Digital Communication-Solgari Unlocks UK Financial Services Growth
Ed Grant is COO and co-founder at Solgari. After 10 years in Corporate & Investment Banking at Citi working in European Tech Media & Telecoms, Ed entered the private equity world focused on SaaS investments leading to the launch of Solgari with his co-founders.
As a result of decades of investment in science and technology, Ireland has a specifically strong financial services sector with 250 of the world’s leading financial services firms having international operations within the country. With MiFID II in place and with the onset of GDPR expected to have a major impact on investment management throughout the industry, financial services companies are opening up to new solutions and adapting in the process.
Irish businesses within the financial services and fintech sector export to more than 100 countries worldwide, emphasising the global demand for high-level Irish skills in this area. This is why solution providers like Irish-based company Solgari – global provider of compliant, integrated omni-channel cloud communications services – is emerging to provide a seamless transition to this evolving compliance landscape.
“AT A TIME WHEN THERE IS CONCERN NON-COMPLIANCE WILL LEAVE THE INDUSTRY OPEN TO HEFTY PENALTIES, SOLGARI IS SEEING INCREASING DEMAND FOR GUIDANCE AND IMPLEMENTATION.”
Established in 2012 by John Colgan, Vance Harris and myself, with three very different backgrounds, we have launched a fully integrated cloud business communications software solution that provides all the digital communication channels – voice, video, SMS & chat – while automatically meeting GDPR, MiFID II & PCI DSS compliance on a per user per month SaaS model. This solution addresses multiple digital communication & compliance requirements for a booming cloud business communications market that is hungry for innovation. The typical customer impact is far more intelligent, integrated & compliant in communications while removing or avoiding the cost of multiple legacy technologies.
At a time when there is concern non-compliance will leave the industry open to hefty penalties, Solgari is seeing increasing demand for guidance and implementation. Through our integrated cloud software service, Fintech and Financial Services companies are able to fast-track compliance ahead of GDPR implementation while seamlessly meeting MiFID II requirements around recording, storing and retrieval of transactions regardless of the communication channel.
And in terms of assisting foreign GDPR services, the Solgari cloud solution is available anywhere the user has an internet connection and offers all communication channels including compliant recording irrespective of user location. Whether based in UK or Timbuktu, Solgari’s platform enables data to be addressed in the same way – posing tremendous opportunity for the industry. We are working to promote a very clear vision that all business communications should be delivered via the cloud in a fully integrated and automatically compliant service, rather than multiple silos.
Harnessing this enormous global business opportunity, we retained the leading global boutique investment bank in the cloud communications market, Q Advisors LLC, who have just successfully arranged our latest funding round with private investors in the US, US and Ireland, Focus Capital Partners and the Irish government agency, Enterprise Ireland – the third largest seed investor in Europe. The use of the funds is focused on product development and sales channel acceleration, particularly through global Microsoft partners and our integration with Microsoft Dynamics 365.
With Solgari’s robust technology and integrated cloud platform, we have ensured that financial services and FinTech companies in 33 countries to date will continue to be brought to the next level in terms of compliance communications.

What are community health endowments?
Community health endowments, or CHE, are simple, locally-managed health care cooperatives that give member households access to basic health center services at preferential rates in exchange for modest pre-paid subscriptions.
In cash-poor households, even modest out-of-pocket costs for health consultations may constitute a barrier to promptly accessing primary health care in the DRC. Local communities are often alienated from the health system and increasingly assume that organizing health care services is solely the responsibility of the Ministry of Health or international NGOs. However, quality universal primary health care cannot be achieved in Congo without healthcare consumers taking more ownership of the financing and accountability of their health care system.
Enrolled CHE subscribers have generated a total of 100,000 FC (about $82,600), two-thirds of which was received by health centers in the last 18 months.
CHE address some of these difficulties. Prepayment options allow members to pay when cash is available and access health care as needed. Group plans balance risks among many members of the community. Fee reductions for cooperative members make it easier for households to get the necessary cash together when an illness occurs.
159 Health Centers
During Y4 of the ASSP project, the average number of health centers benefitting from CHE subscription income rose from about 140 to 159.
Our Approach to Community Health Endowments
ASSP seeks to improve access to primary health care through the implementation of a CHE strategy. CHE reduce the out-of-pocket costs that households have to pay at the time of health service through a cooperative-type model. Specific objectives of this strategy for ASSP include:
- Increasing demand for and access to routine health center services by reducing out-of-pocket costs for member households.
- Increasing net revenue for local health centers.
- Strengthening the sense of ownership of and loyalty to the local health center in community groups.
- Reinforcing the health zone’s ability to build strong, sustainable partnerships between health service clinics and the communities they serve.
Health Center Subscriptions
Where individuals have been reluctant to pass subscriptions through a cooperative group, health center workers and subscribers have adapted the program to allow individual households to join the plan by subscribing directly at the health center.
Health centers with the highest participation rates are currently adding $800 to $950 per year to local revenues.

Cars and trucks have really changed in the last ten years. Watch old TV shows from the 50s and 60s or nostalgic movies like American Graffiti, and you can see big cars. They don't make them that like any more. All of that is changing.
The theme of the modern car is now smaller, lighter and more efficient. The cars are safer now, which seems counterintuitive given that they're smaller. Thank better modern engineering with crumple zone for that fact.
The exception to this trend is the SUV market, where it seems that bigger is better. Cars have gotten smaller, SUVs have gotten bigger. And that brings us to the issue of gas mileage.
Everyone knows that the downside to having an SUV is that you spend more on gas. We have a car dealer commercial here in Central Florida that tries to scare consumers by trumpeting "when gas prices go up, the value of SUVs goes down by 856%". Okay, not 856%, but you know what they mean. They're trying to scare consumers into running to their car lot and trading in their $30,000 SUV for $10,000 to put toward a $20,000 new car that may save them $30 a week in better gas mileage.
At any rate, the size of the vehicle affects gas mileage. The Obama Administration earlier announced new gas mileage requirements that would make automakers produce cars with a minimum gas mileage rating of almost 36 mpg within the next four years. That's a 10 mpg increase over 2012 standards. And the standard is supposed to almost double by 2035.
How does we get from here to there? It's one thing to write a law requiring cars that get better gas mileage, but that's much more easier said than done. Drivers want more power and more features in their vehicles. The government wants them more efficient. How can both things be balanced?
One thing they do is replace heavy metallic materials with lighter space-age plastic composites. Almost any new car is jammed packed with these materials. Making the car lighter is essential to reaching the new requirements, because you burn more gas propelling a heavy car down the road. Plastics weigh less than 20% of the weight of steel. So carmakers squeeze weight savings by installing plastics everywhere they can, even under the hood in plastics. The Department of Energy estimates that lowering a car's weight by 10% can give it 7% better gas mileage. If they can lower a car's weight by 200 lb, all other things being equal the car will burn 0.1 gallon less fuel for every 60 miles it goes. That doesn't seem like much but the environmental savings of less gas burned adds up. It's also a case where automakers have to grab every bit of savings they can to meet this challenge. How do you really double fuel efficiency while making the car fancier and with more features? It's a big big challenge.
Speaking of under the hood, car makers can put as much plastic siding on the car as they want, but it's the engine that makes the biggest difference. And that's where another challenge comes. Drivers want faster and more powerful cars. Drivers want to improve their gas mileage at the same time. But how do you make a car lighter and more efficient, but more powerful at the same time? Unfortunately, drivers are going to have to realize that increasing efficiency by 30% in five years means they may be faced with choices of only smaller cars with less powerful engines. They may not start getting everything they want in terms of choices in the marketplace.
A lot of people aren't going to be happy with that. And it's only going to reinforce the negative perception of many people that the government is interfering in their lives just a little too much.

***The Greek Goddesses: F-N*** |
Achelois to Eutychia | Odyne to Volupta
|A quick note: We transliterate the "phi" of ancient greek to "ph," not "f" - so the only ones you'll find with "f" are translations.|
See the Erinnyes.
- The Fates
The Fates, also called the Moerae or the Parcae, determined when life begins, when it ends, and what happens in between. They were made up of three women:
They were the daughters of Erebus (Darkness) and Nyx (or of Zeus and Themis). Some say that Zeus could intervene in their decisions and that they could be manipulated, but in most myths they were eternal and more powerful than any of the Gods. Another story says they are the parthenogenic daughters of Ananke. In Delphi, they only worshipped Clotho and Atropos.
Clotho, who appeared as a maiden and spun the thread of life. Her name meant The Spinner
Lachesis, who appeared as a matron and measured the thread of life. She was the Caster of lots
Atropos, who cut the thread of life, and appeared as a crone. Her name meant, Unbending Though the smallest of the three, she is the most terrible.
Gaia is Mother Earth. She has her own page, of course. She is from whom everything comes, but she is not quite a divinity, because she is Earth. She bore the Titans as well as monsters like the hundred armed men, and some of the Cyclopes - others were sons of Poseidon. She was the daughter of Chaos, and the mother of all creatures (according to some). She was the first and the last, and wanted all of her children, no matter what. She was primarily spoken of as a Mother of other Gods, rather than having her own myths. Read more about Gaia.
She was the original cupbearer to the Gods in Greek Mythology. But as time went on her person was split into two: Ganymede, who kept her duties as cupbearer; and Hebe (see below).
She was the personification of Old Age, and one of the icky things that flew out of the jar at Pandora.
The Graiai, or the the three Gray Sisters, were beautiful. They were described as "fair-faced and swan-like" but they's had gray hair from the day they were born and they shared one eye and one tooth, but they lost even that when Perseus stole their eye and later threw it in a lake. Despite being so easily taken advantage of, they were very wise. Their names were:
They were probably goddesses worshipped by the swan cults (swans were not just a symbol of beauty, but also of cunning and other darker meanings).
Deino or Dread (or Terrible)
Enyo or Horror (or War-like)
Pemphredo or Alarm (or Wasp)
I'd hope that you'd know this by now, but I guess you just aren't very observant. The Graces are also known as the Charites, and therefore are on the Goddesses A-E page.
Halia was the personification of the saltiness of the Sea.
She was a sea goddess - but I don't know any more than that yet.
Everyone knows Harmonia, but very few know much about her. She was the daughter of Aphrodite and Ares (NOT Zeus and Electra, no matter what those sources say), a love child if you will. Perhaps it was for that reason that she was the Goddess of Harmony and Concord, big surprise with a name like Harmonia, huh? Anyway, she was married to Cadmus (you definitely should know Cadmus, look for the story pages coming soon), and recieved a VERY infamous necklace as a gift (it caused the downfall of many a happy home and hero) from Aphrodite. She was the mother of Semele and Ino. Her daughters had tragic lives as well, you can read about them in the Humans section.
Hecate is the Third and final one of the Triple Goddess. She is the Goddess of the New Moon. She was also the Goddess of the Crossroads and the Witch Goddess. She was Thracian in origin, and she dwelt in the Underworld with Hades and Persephone. She was the daughter of the Titans Perses and Asteria(daughter of Phoebe and Coeus), both were symbols of shining light. Later she was said to be of Zeus and Hera. She was the Dark Link between the Underworld and Earth. Her children were Medea, Apsyrtus (a ghost), and one other I don't know.
Hebe was the Goddess of Youth as well as the Cupbearer to the Gods, her mother was Hera and her father, Zeus. According to one story, she resigned as cupbearer to the gods upon her marriage to the hero Heracles, who had just been deified. That statue on the right is Hebe, but there is another bust of her at the bottom of the page. She was originally called Ganymeda (see above).
She was a Goddess of Plants and she was in charge of making sure they bloomed and bore fruit as they were meant to. Her name means "mastery".
Helena was a moon goddess and a healer. I don't know much about her yet.
She was a Goddess of the Sun, probably because she was a daughter of Helios. I know nothing else of her.Hesperos
Hemera was the Goddess of Day, or rather she was its personification. She was a daughter of Nyx (see below) and Erebus. She and her mother shared a house (some say it was Tartarus), but they never saw each other in it. Hemera left it each morning, and returned only as her mother (the Night) left. So sad. Oh well! She was also the mother of Thalassa, the Sea with her brother, Aether (the Upper Air, or Light). I really like her.
|Hesperos was the Goddess of Evening and she was the wife of Atlas.Hilaeira
She was a Goddess of Brightness, though that could also simply be a common epithet for goddesses.
Hera is most well known for being the wife of Zeus and the Queen of the Gods. Surprise, surprise! She has her own page. She was also the youngest daughter of Rhea and Cronus. Her bird is the peacock, and in almost every myth she is portrayed as being maliciously jealous. But it must also be remembered that she was the Protector of Marriage. It is believed by some scholars that she earned her bad reputation by being combined with a similar Phoenecian goddess. Read more about Hera.
Hestia was the eldest of the 12 Olympian Gods and the eldest daughter of Rhea & Cronus. Guess what? She has her own page. When she began her role as a Goddess, she had a throne of her own in Olympus, but when Dionysus grew into Godhood, she willingly gave up her throne to him, choosing the hearth as an alternative. She is the Goddess of Hearth and Home she is also one of the Three Virgin Goddesses. Her symbol was kept in every house, and whenever a child was born the parents had to carry the child around the symbol before he or she could be accepted in the family. Read more about Hestia.
She was a goddess invoked to bless the harvest. Thanks P J Criss.
They were the goddesses orderly things like Seasons, and because of their orderly aspect eventually became goddesses of justice. They measured out the weather as it seemed appropriate and guarded Olympus from any overambitious mortals. They had a few cameos in the Big Myths: the Hora of Spring went with Persephone when she went down with Hades every year, and some of the Horae helped dress Aphrodite as she emerged from the ocean. They got different names (and numbers) from different authors, but I like Hesiod's breakdown:
Homer actually tended to keep them strictly with the seasons, and they only worshipped two in Athens, but Hyginus lists at least 21 Horae (including Horae of the Hours)! Generally they were happy little goddesses. Lots of cavorting, much like the Muses and the Graces (Charites) who they liked to hang out with when they weren't doing their day job of keeping track of orderly customs and justice.
Eunomia, Good Custom
Hosia is a word placed before the names of Goddesses. It means something like "holy" and "praise" and other things along the same lines.
She was the daughter of Aesculapius, you know that dude who managed to raise people from the dead, and got struck down for it. She was the Goddess of Healing and she focuses on the healing power of cleanliness. She introduced the idea of washing patients with soap and water. She had lots of hospital shrines.
I'm not sure that she counts as a goddess. She was the first priestess of Demeter, the daughter of Echo and Pan. She was the first to find the lamenting goddess after Persephone's rape and abduction, and she managed to cheer her up. Iambe was full of life and friendly nature.
Iaso was a Goddess of Healing and the daughter of Asclepius. He had lots of children. She was a sister of Hygia (see above).
Ilythia was the Goddess of Childbirth She is most known from the birth story of Artemis and Apollo, for it was she who went to Leto (see below) on the tiny island of Delos.
A daughter of Pallas and Styx, Invidia was another personification of envy.
Iris is the Messenger Goddess.daughter of the Titan Thaumas and Electra. Although she was a sister of the winged monsters, the Harpies, Iris was represented as a beautiful maiden, with wings and robes of bright colors and a halo of light on her head, trailing across the sky with the rainbow she traveled on in her wake. She was also called the Goddess of the Rainbow.
Kakia was a seductress. She was a Goddess of Vice, and she attempted to seduce Heracles with promises of wealth and ease. Obviously, he didn't give in.
The Keres are also called the Dogs of Hades. They are associated with the Harpies and the Erinyes, and they are terrifying creatures. They are sharp clawed creatures who dress in red and drink the blood of their victims. They carry out the Fates' commands, insofar as they are in many ways the personification of the inevitability of death, and are often seen hovering around battle fields. They were daughters of Nyx, just like the Fates, and it can be a little unclear where their work ended and the work of the Erinnyes (see above) began.
A Goddess of Spinning.
A Goddess of Foothills.
A Goddess of Happiness and Amusement. More like the personification of it.
An epithet of Persephone. Kore means the Maiden or Daughter.
Goddess of Extravagant Joy.
Her name means "Mighty" and she was the mother of the monster Scylla by Phorcys.
An epithet of Aphrodite, referring to her rising out of the sea from Cyprus. The whole Aphrodite cult CAME from Cyprus to Greece. She was HUGE there.
A Goddess of Corn.
Lampetia and her sister Phathusa were daughters of Helios. They were shepherdesses for him, and guarded his sacred cattle. Well, they did until Odysseus and his men came along and stole them. But then, they all died except Odysseus, so I'd say all's fair.
For someone in so many myths you'd think there'd be more about her! She was the daughter of the Titans Phoebe and Coeus, that makes her a sister of Asteria (the mother of Hecate - see above). She was the mother of the twins Artemis and Apollo. She was a Moon Goddess (not a big surprise, considering her parents and sibs. You definitely should read her story on the new stories page.
The woman Ino married a married man, Athamas. She tried to make Athamas sacrifice his son Phrixes (it didn't happen, but that was how Helle, Phrixes' sister ended up dying). Anyway, Hera killed Ino, but Zeus made Ino into the Sea Goddess, Leucothea, or White Goddess, because she had raised Dionysus. There is another Leucothea too. But she was turned into an incense plant after her father buried her alive for being Helios' lover. Clytia, that nasty nymph, betrayed her.
A Goddess of Weaving who used flax.
A Goddess of the Wind. I'm not sure where that fits into Classical Mythology.
The Litai were the sisters of Ate. As you'll recall, Ate was evil. The goddess of temptation and all those yucky things. The Litai, who happened to be the personification of Prayers, followed Ate around and cleaned up after her. They tried to repair the damage she did to mortals.
A Goddess of the Underworld.
There were actually two Maeras. The first was the daughter of Protus. This Maera was one of the cold Artemis' companions - her bad luck, in this case. For Zeus fell in love, and decided to pursue her. Artemis was NOT about that, and killed Maera (in that god-like logic, that I will never understand). Anyway, in the other version she is just a daughter of Atlas.
Maia was the oldest of the Pleiades, and she was chillin' in this cave in Arcadia when Zeus came and, skipping what happened in between, she bore Hermes (my favorite masculine God), and raised him in that cave, far away from Hera's jealous eyes. After Hermes' grows up, we don't hear much more about her. That picture on the left is one of Kris Waldherr's paintings.
An epithet of Persephone's as a Goddess of the Underworld. It means "sheep-bearer", probably a reference to the sheep that fell down with her when Hades opened the ground during his rape.
A Goddess of the Bee Cult.
A Goddess of the Underworld.
A daughter of Zeus and Persephone. She was a Goddess of the Underworld, like her mother.
A Goddess of Beneficence.
Metis was another Titaness. She was the Goddess of Prudence, but there is a rather unprudent story about her that tells about the birth of Athena. Metis ends up living inside Zeus' head and giving him advice from there. Her name meant Wisdom and she was the personification of it as well as its Goddess. She was also the one who discovered (created) the potion that caused Cronos to vomit up the six OGs, (to all y'all who understand the joke, thank you for not being old).
A Goddess of Oaths.
Mnemosyne was a Titaness who was the Goddess of Memory. Her mother was Gaia and her father Uranus (the Sky). She was the mother of the Nine Muses (see below).
A Goddess of Childbirth.
The Muses were nine daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne. They played and sang all of the time and entertained the Gods and Goddesses on Mount Olympus. They also inspired creativity in everyone. The Muses were:
The last Muse, Calliope, had a child with the King of Thrace. The child's name was Orpheus. There's a great story about him, so watch for the new story pages. There's also cool stories about each of the Muses, and some other Muses you probably didn't know about. For example, Did you know Clio introduced the Phoenician alphabet to Greece? Si, sono veritabile. Now the Muses have their own page! Check it out! In contains LOTS more information.
Erato, the Muse of Lyrics
Euterpe, the Muse of Music
Thalia, the Muse of Comedy
Melpomene, the Muse of Tragedy
Terpsichore, the Muse of Dance and Choral Song
Urania, the Muse of Astronomy
Clio, the Muse of Historical and Heroic Poetry, her name meant "Proclaimer"
Polyhymnia, the Muse of Hymns
Calliope, the Muse of Epics
Neaera means the New Moon. She was a couple of different people. One was a nymph mother of Lampetia and Phathusa by Helios. Another was the mother of Evadne. And another was the mother of Aegle by Zeus.
Nyx was a daughter of Chaos (and so a SISTER of Gaia, and with her brother Erebus (Darkness) she bore: Air, Hemera (see above), Aether (Light), Moros (Destiny), Thanatos (Death), Hypnos (Sleep), Morpheus (Dreams), The Fates, The Keres, Eris, Momus (Ridicule), Oizys (Distress), Apate (Deceit), Care, and Nemesis (see above). Her realm was in the far West beyond the land of Atlas.
This chica is the sister of Pandia, and the daughter of Selene and Zeus. She suckled the Nemean Lion (this scary monster type thing).
Nemesis she was the right hand of Zeus. She was the Goddess of Righteous Anger and it was she who saw to it that all good and evil were justly paid. She was also without a direct personality. She is also called Adrasteia, which means the Inevitable Parents. She was either another daughter of Oceanus, or a daughter of Nyx and Erebus (making her a sister to Sleep and Death). I named my lacrosse stick after her.
Nike was similar to Eris because she was the constant companion to Athena. Nike was the Goddess of Victory. She was the daughter of the Titan Pallas and the River/Nymph Styx. She does not possess a distinct personality in any myths I've seen. Further, Nike was sort of an epithet of Athena. But Nike, as the personification of Victory was also worshipped as her own Goddess, and usually showed with wings, except in Athens where she was called "Apteros" ("wingless"), with the idea that she would never leave Athens.

Man Sleeps At Shelter For A Week To Help Dog Who Has Been There For 400 Days
Aug 15, 2023 by apost team
There are thousands upon thousands of people who love animals and would do almost anything they could to help homeless pets find their forever homes. However, most people don’t go to the lengths that Scott Poore does. Poore has been devoting most of his life to helping animals, especially shelter dogs.
Poore hails from Kansas City and works for a group called Mission Driven. He left a 9-5 job to dedicate all of his time to helping dogs. His job was to create and promote fundraisers that raise money to help shelters meet the needs of the animals in their care. He also spends a lot of time with the residents of the shelters in order to help them find the homes that they so deserve.
One thing Poore is sure to do is find out which animals are the most in need. After determining that, he puts out a call on social media apps for help. However, in September 2019, no one could have guessed just how far Scott was willing to go to help one poor dog he cared for deeply at a shelter. Queen was a 3-year-old pit bull mix who had been a resident of the wonderful Great Plains SPCA for more than a year. She was waiting for someone to come in and give her a forever home. However, visitors are able to see how long each animal has been in the shelter, according to Poore.
“When you’re a shelter pet and you’ve been in a shelter for 400 days, it says that on your kennel card. People see that and they think there has to be something wrong with the animal,” Poore told Inside Edition. Poore knew that it was time for drastic action.
Be sure to reach the end of this article to see the full video
Poore wanted to do something that could potentially go viral and bring attention to her sad story, so he decided to “move in” with Queen. He told Inside Edition that it wasn’t the most enjoyable time in his life, but he was “willing to put my life on hold.”
“I love my roommate and she has been amazing, and she loves the company,” he told the outlet.
He added life at the shelter wasn’t as it might seem.
“When the staff leaves and the lights go off, you’d think everybody goes to sleep, but that couldn’t be farther from the truth. There’s not a lot of sleep,” Poore explained.
He also told Fox News that despite not knowing how long he would be bunking with Queen, he was desperate to help give her a better life. He said:
“I honestly did not know if I was going to be there 24 hours or a month but I was prepared to do either.”
His experiment lasted for a full seven days from Sept. 17, 2019, through to Sept. 24, 2019, before the shelter received some amazing news. Queen had found a forever home, thanks to the efforts of one amazing man and his son who saw what Poore had done and decided to share their home with Queen.
When the day came for Queen to leave the shelter for her new home, she received a royal send-off, fitting for a queen! In a video shared by Mission Driven, staff and friends were seen lined up outside the shelter and threw flower petals as Poore and Queen walked to a car where Queen would be whisked off to her forever home. The caption read:
“Queen has left the building, thanks to an amazing man who fell in love with her story.”
What do you think of Queen’s story? Are you glad Scott Poore went to the lengths he did to help Queen get adopted? Let us know and be sure to pass this along to all the animal lovers you know!

As you are all aware Japan recently suffered one of the most violent and destructive earthquakes in history. The impact of the earthquake and the tsunami it caused has devastated many towns and cities across Japan.
My name is Toshie Mizunuma, I am a PhD student at Edinburgh University. My hometown is Ishinomaki, Miyagi prefecture in Japan. The city is home to 175000 people and has been destroyed by the earthquake. Thankfully my mother and the rest of my family survived the disaster, but many are not so lucky. The officials confirmed that 10,000 of their citizens were missing. Thousands of people are living in temporary shelters and no longer have homes to return to.
I would like to collect 1000 paper cranes for the homeless people in Ishinomaki. Collecting and giving 1000 handmade paper cranes is a Japanese tradition which is said to bring luck and recovery from injury and illness to the recipients of the cranes. For more information on this see:
I will send the cranes to my brother, who is currently working at some of the temporary shelters. He will distribute these cranes to people living in the shelters, and hopefully spread hope to those staying there.
Traditionally origami cranes are made on standard size origami paper, but any square coloured or patterned of paper ~20 x 20 cm will be perfect except black and white papers. I would be very grateful if you could make a crane by folding it up using the instructions in the link below and then write a message on the underside of the wings for the people of Ishinomaki. I am aiming to string together 1000 of these cranes to send over to my brother so please encourage as many people as you can to make one of these. Also I ask that for every crane you make you give a donation to the British Red Cross via this website. The British Red Cross have then agreed that they are going to forward all the money we send them into their Japanese tsunami relief appeal ( http://www.redcross.org.uk/japantsunami ).
How to make a paper crane:
Please send any cranes you make to me:
School of GeoSciences
University of Edinburgh
West Mains Road
Edinburgh EH9 3JN
Alternatively just make a donation and leave a message on the wall of this page which you would like to be put on your crane and we will make it for you.
Many thanks in advance for any help you can give,
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer.

SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, eliminated Manati, Puerto Rico, from the Little League World Series with a 4-2 victory Monday, although evening games were canceled because of rain.
Little League did get in two other games earlier Monday, including Kaoshiung, Taiwan’s rout of Vancouver, British Columbia.
The game between Ohio and Georgia was called with one out in the bottom of the first, but Little League rules state those stats will be erased and the game restarted because it did not go 3 1/2 innings.
Connecticut and Washington never got started Monday night. Little League has not announced when those games will be played today.
Taiwan 23, Canada 0
Shao-Fei Huang drove in six runs and Hsun Hao Shih hit two long homers to lead Kaohsiung, Taiwan, to a victory over Vancouver, Canada.
Taiwan scored six runs in the first, then seven in each of the next two innings. Huang had a two-run double in the first, a two-run single in the second, an RBI double in the third and an RBI single in the fourth.
Shih had a two-run homer in the second inning and another in the third.
Huang has four doubles in the series and tied a record set by two Taiwan players in 1995. The 23 runs is the third-most in a game by one team since 1992.
Three Taiwan pitchers combined on a one-hitter. They allowed only Matthew Reyes’ first-inning single.
Germany 2, Minnesota 1
Kyle Foley scored the go-ahead run after reaching base on an overturned call to lift Ramstein Air Force Base, Germany, past Plymouth, Minn., 2-1 in a consolation game.
Foley initially was called out on a play at first in the fifth. Replay officials reversed the call after manager Gary Harrington challenged in a new wrinkle this year for the World Series replay system.
Foley moved to second on a fielder’s choice, then scored on a passed ball.
Minnesota put two runners on with two outs in the sixth, but Jonathan Oswald got Talor Blustin to ground out to end the game.
The Germany team, made up mainly of children of U.S. military or base workers, was serenaded off the field to the theme from the movie “Top Gun.”

Tourist Destinations in Literary Works: the novel "A Memento For Istanbul"
Promotions of the destinations are seen in many written and visual platforms. Literature is one of them. Since the places where the events occur in many of the literary works are also tourist destinations, these works can make significant contributions to the promotion of the destinations. In the context of interdisciplinary studies, it is important to conduct studies on the interaction of tourism and literature. In the light of this information, it is aimed to examine the destination attraction elements mentioned in the literary works. In this context, the novel of Ahmet Ümit titled "A Memento for Istanbul" was examined. The novel was read simultaneously by the researchers who carried out the study. In the literary work examined, it was found that there are descriptions and information that promote Istanbul as a tourist destination. Afterwards, descriptions and information determined by different researchers were compared and the common ones were included in the research. According to the results of the study, it is observed that the historical events and artifacts, natural beauties, accessibility, food&beverage and accommodation in Istanbul are handled strongly in the context of destination attractiveness. This study shows that tourist destinations in literary works are processed in the context of destination attractiveness. In this aspect, it can be stated that the novels contribute to the promotion of tourist destinations.

text: In a recent filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Cricket owner Leap Wireless (LEAP) indicated that iPhone sales have fallen short of its expectations. The carrier revealed that it is on pace to purchase only half of its first-year commitment from Apple (AAPL) through June 2013. The information in the filing contradicts earlier statements made by the company’s chief financial officers Jerry Elliot. The executive previously said that “sales of Apple devices were pretty good in the fourth quarter” and the carrier wasn’t concerned about meeting its commitment with Apple. As noted by BTIG Research analyst Walter Piecyk, Leap could now be on the hook for $100 million of additional iPhone purchases in 2013 and $450 million over the course of its three-year contract.

MCTXSheriff Investigates Officer Involved Shooting
Shortly before midnight on November 15, 2021, the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office was dispatched to the 10700 block of Stidham Road in Conroe, in reference to a domestic disturbance. Initial reports indicated that a male, identified as 45 year old Brian Sander, was threatening to kill his wife and their livestock. It was also reported that he was in possession of several firearms, and was threatening to kill any officers who responded. When the Deputies arrived on scene, they found Mr. Sander standing near a vehicle holding a shotgun. As Deputies issued commands to Mr. Sander, he abruptly turned on the Deputies, pointing the shotgun in their direction. The Deputies then fired multiple rounds at Mr. Sander, striking him several times. The Deputies immediately rendered first aid, and summoned EMS personnel to the scene. Mr. Sander was transported to a local area hospital, where he is in stable condition, and is expected to survive.
Mr. Sander is currently facing charges of Aggravated Assault on a Peace Officer, and may have additional charges at the conclusion of the investigation. This incident is still under investigation by the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office Homicide/Violent Crimes Unit, Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office, and the Texas Rangers.
