iPhone 13 Storage Variants, Colors Leaked Forward of Launch; iPhone 14 Professional Fashions Might Sport Below-Show Face ID
iPhone 13 launch is alleged to happen on the Apple occasion occurring subsequent week. However simply days forward of the formal announcement, storage variants and color choices of the iPhone 13 collection have surfaced on the Internet. A Ukrainian web site listed the unconfirmed particulars in regards to the iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Professional, iPhone 13 Professional Max, and the iPhone 13 mini. Individually, idea renders claiming to point out the iPhone 14 Professional Max have appeared on-line. The brand new mannequin is predicted to be part of the iPhone 14 collection that Apple might unveil in 2022 — a 12 months after the launch of the iPhone 13 fashions. The iPhone 14 Professional Max, together with the iPhone 14 Professional, are speculated to return with an under-display Face ID expertise.
Ukrainian e-commerce website KTC has listed the storage variants and color choices of the iPhone 13 collection. It was initially noticed by 91Mobiles.
iPhone 13 storage variants, color choices (anticipated)
As per the main points out there on the KTC website, the common iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini shall be out there in 64GB and 128GB storage choices. There is no such thing as a itemizing of a 256GB mannequin — in contrast to the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini that each have that top-end storage possibility. In distinction, the iPhone 13 Professional and iPhone 13 Professional Max are listed in 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB storage variations. It is the identical that Apple supplied on the iPhone 12 Professional fashions final 12 months. Nonetheless, the hearsay mill did recommend that there could possibly be a 1TB storage mannequin for the iPhone 13 Professional and iPhone 13 Professional Max this 12 months.
On the a part of color choices, the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini are listed in Black, Blue, Pink, Purple, PRODUCT (RED), and White colors. This means that the Pink possibility could possibly be one thing new this time, whereas the opposite color variants are simply equivalent to final 12 months’s iPhone 12 fashions.
The iPhone 13 Professional and iPhone 13 Professional Max are, on the opposite entrance, listed in Black, Silver, Gold, and Bronze colors. These are in contrast to the Graphite, Silver, Gold, and Pacific Blue shades out there on the iPhone 12 Professional and iPhone 12 Professional Max.
Apple is internet hosting its subsequent occasion on September 14 the place we’re more likely to get the official particulars in regards to the iPhone 13 collection. Within the meantime, it is protected to contemplate the reported particulars with a pinch of salt.
iPhone 14 leaks
Whereas the iPhone 13 launch continues to be part of the hearsay mill, tipster Jon Prosser has shared the renders suggesting what we’d get from the iPhone 14 collection in 2022. The renders are claimed to be developed by idea designer Ian Zelbo on the premise of pictures and schematics sourced from Apple and recommend the design of the iPhone 14 Professional Max to be exact.
One of many largest modifications that the renders recommend is the removing of the show notch that seems to get replaced with a hole-punch design. It’s in keeping with the hypothesis made by analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. Apple is recommended to make use of an under-display Face ID system to retain biometric authentication on the brand new iPhone, with out requiring the notch design.
The renders additionally recommend that the iPhone 14 Professional Max might include no digicam bump or hump on the again. Which means the cameras of the brand new iPhone Professional mannequin might not simply be protruding from the again panel. It’s in contrast to the present iPhone fashions the place we have now the bump for the rear cameras.
Prosser mentioned in a video detailing the renders that Apple would use a thicker chassis to maintain the digicam modules of the iPhone 14 Professional Max aligning with its again. He additionally urged a titanium body with a design just like that of the iPhone 4.
The renders present rounded quantity buttons on the iPhone 14 Professional Max that look like just like these of the iPhone Four and iPhone 5. Additional, the Lightning port is seen on the backside, which implies there wouldn’t be a USB Kind-C port. It is usually corroborating a latest prediction made by Kuo.
Alongside the renders posted by Prosser, show business analyst Ross Younger has acknowledged that Apple would supply under-display Face ID on not simply the iPhone 14 Professional Max but additionally on the iPhone 14 Professional. The common iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max (the brand new 6.7-inch iPhone mannequin) might, nevertheless, proceed to return with the present Face ID or Contact ID help.
Younger, who’s the CEO of Show Provide Chain Consultants (DSCC), first tweeted his predictions in regards to the iPhone 14 in June. He additionally mentioned that the brand new under-display Face ID could possibly be part of the 2023 iPhone lineup.
Moreover, Younger talked about that under-display Face ID expertise will not be but ultimate and is at present in a testing section. Apple might, thus, ditch that half utterly or carry in-display Contact ID as an alternative.
A latest report by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman urged that Apple would proceed to make use of Face ID as its biometric answer alongside evaluating Contact ID.
The iPhone 14 lineup can also be anticipated to be the primary because the iPhone 12 launch in 2020 to return with out a mini-version iPhone. Apple might substitute that mannequin with the brand new reasonably priced 6.7-inch iPhone.


President-elect Donald Trump has surprised defense contractors with his proactive approach to negotiating individual weapons contracts, leaving many wondering what the future holds for the industry.
With thousands of defense contracts set to expire next year, and a president likely to take an active role in negotiating price, defense experts are wondering how to approach the administration.
Defense industry analysts were optimistic immediately following the Nov. 9 election that Trump would bolster military spending to accomplish his goals for the armed forces. Trump said he wants to increase the size of each branch of the military, including increasing the size of the Navy to 350 ships from about 276, which is an expensive proposal. – READ MORE

UPDATE (Sept. 9, 2020, 9:38 a.m. ET): This piece has been updated throughout to reflect that, on Sept. 8, 2020, Switzerland's Federal Supreme Court announced that it was denying Caster Semenya's appeal and upholding the Court of Arbitration for Sports' decision to require her to take special drugs to alter her body's natural state if she wished to compete in certain races.
Discrimination against some women is “necessary” to protect other women, according to the Court of Arbitration for Sports' and the Swiss Federal Supreme Court's rulings in the Caster Semenya case.
The CAS' and Swiss court's decisions come in a challenge to the International Association of Athletics Federations’ regulations for athletes with differences of sex development brought by Semenya, the Black South African runner who produces more testosterone naturally than has been deemed typical of cisgender women. The regulations that Semenya challenged would require her to artificially suppress her hormone levels in order to continue to compete in women’s events. In the executive summary of the still-confidential full decision, the court explained that the “regulations are discriminatory but that ... such discrimination is a necessary.” That decision was upheld by the Swiss court on appeal.
Notably, the regulations and decision apply only to eight events — three of which are the races that Semenya generally runs.
In other words, the CAS and the Swiss appeals court have decided that differential treatment for Black women, trans women and intersex women is required for athletic competitions to be “fair” to other women — at least, it is under a system in which white people wield tremendous power over the bodies and autonomy of those who are perceived to be a threat. These decisions come during the current political moment of global attack against individuals who do not fit stereotypes of binary sexual difference, and after a long history of white authorities policing the bodies of women of color, particularly those Black and Indigenous women from the global south.
“I know that the IAAF’s regulations have always targeted me specifically,” Semenya said in a statement after the issuance of the decision. “For a decade, the IAAF has tried to slow me down, but this has actually made me stronger.”
She added, “The decision of the CAS will not hold me back. I will once again rise above and continue to inspire young women and athletes in South Africa and around the world.”
Many people reacting to the decision have mischaracterized Semenya’s identity, calling her transgender (she is not) or male (she is not). She is a non-transgender woman who produces more testosterone than some percentage of other non-transgender women.
As Katrina Karkazis explained in a Guardian column in March, “Labeling women ‘biological males’ draws a dubious connection between sex, testosterone and athleticism that relies on long-discarded ideas that men and women can have a ‘true sex,’ that testosterone is a ‘male sex hormone’ and that testosterone is the key to superior athleticism. None of these are true, and it’s long overdue that people stop saying they are.”
The idea that you can identify a single physiological trait that neatly separates two binary sexes is simply false and serves the very structures of patriarchy and white supremacy that are used to attack powerful Black women (cisgender and transgender) who are perceived to trespass on the spaces that people want to reserve for white women.
Bodies are often coded as appropriately “male” or appropriately “female” through a lens of racism and white supremacy. And that lens is used to police some bodies in the alleged service of others: Just google “Serena Williams” or “Michelle Obama” alongside anti-transgender slurs to see how Black bodies and trans bodies are policed out of the category of “woman.”
This deliberate narrative about testosterone and “maleness” is used to hurt both Black cisgender women like Semenya and all transgender women who are being systematically excluded from women’s spaces and categories. Caster Semenya is not a man: She is a Black woman runner who is being subject to repeated public scrutiny and invasive bodily regulation because she disrupts expectations.
As Nation Sports editor Dave Zirin points out, “arguments about who is really ‘female’ have been used against women athletes for as long as women have played sports.” These efforts to define some female athletes out of the category of “woman” have been leveraged particularly against Black women.
The decisions are part of an escalating narrative that some women threaten the integrity of the category of “woman” altogether. For instance, former elite athletes in the United States and the United Kingdom have mobilized to oppose legislative and other protections for transgender women, falsely claiming that they will mark the end of women’s athletics. These claims inaccurately compare transgender women to non-transgender men, ignore the history of trans participation in sport with no dominance whatsoever and open the door to widespread attacks on the trans community by claiming that our bodies inherently threaten others.
The search for a true, binary, biological sex in each individual is, in truth, both futile and dangerous. The imperatives behind these searches are almost always exclusionary in nature and greatly misapprehend the extent to which our bodies and physiological characteristics are affected by our experiences in the world.
The idea, for example, that a woman who is transgender is equal to a non-transgender man is patently false. In addition to the many medical changes that some people undergo to align their bodies and hormone levels with those typical of their lived gender, how we experience both trauma and social engagement in the world greatly impact our bodily function. It is why and how, at the population level, life expectancy is so varied across race, class and geographic lines.
Existing systems of power may only approve of some women as “women” and attempt to write people deemed insufficiently male or female out of spaces in varying ways. But we can all only survive as our authentic selves — and so we will keep fighting to exist in our full truths, however inconvenient those truths may be to those who want to keep power (and medals) only for themselves.

Nascent Objects has introduced a new product that can be morphed into any of 3 devices. They include
- Droppler – a water conservation product
- Streaming WiFi speaker with Apple AirPlay and Spotify Support
- WiFi HD video camera with streaming and IFTTT capabilities
The products all convert from one to another. The company realized that so many of today’s gadgets are made up of similar components, including a speaker, WiFi module, camera and a microprocessor. So why not allow the customer to rearrange the components, add some software or an app, and turn one product into another. It’s a very clever idea, and now the company is coming to market, beginning with an Indiegogo campaign.

Forward Rolando Blackburn (red jersey) was named to Panama's roster for the 2017 Copa Centroamericana. (Photo: Adid Jimenez/Straffon Images)
PANAMA CITY, Panama – Panama named Saturday a 23-player roster for the upcoming Copa Centroamericana, which it will host January 13-22, 2017.
The squad features numerous stars of the 2016/17 Scotiabank CONCACAF Champions League. Forward Rolando Blackburn has three goals and recently helped Saprissa to the 2016 Costa Rican Invierno title, while Arabe Unido midfielder Jose Gonzalez is the competition’s joint-top scorer with five goals.
In addition to Gonzalez, Arabe Unido – the current Panamanian champion – is well represented in the selection. Forward Enrico Small, the 2016 Panamanian Apertura’s top scorer with 16 goals; and midfielder Edgar Yoel Barcenas, who has two goals and three assists in the SCCL, were among others to earn spots.
The Canaleros, whose only Copa Centroamericana title came in 2009, open against Belize on January 13.
The Copa Centroamericana is the championship for the region’s national teams and also serves as a CONCACAF Gold Cup qualifying competition. The top four finishers in the round-robin tournament will qualify for the 2017 Gold Cup and the fifth-place team will meet the 2016/17 Scotiabank CFU Men’s Caribbean Cup fifth-place side -- either Haiti or Trinidad & Tobago – in a two-game playoff for the last Gold Cup berth.
GOALKEEPERS: Jose Calderon, Alex Rodriguez
DEFENDERS: Azmahar Ariano, Harold Cummings, Eric Davis, Roderick Miller, Michael Murillo, Luis Ovalle, Angel Patrick, Jan Carlos Vargas

A never-before-seen complete global image shot from 512 miles above Earth:
The NPP satellite launched on October 28, 2011, and VIIRS acquired its first measurements on November 21. To date, the images are preliminary, used to gauge the health of the sensor as engineers continue to power it up for full operation.
Rising from the south and setting in the north on the daylight side of Earth, VIIRS images the surface in long wedges measuring 3,000 kilometers (1,900 miles) across. The swaths from each successive orbit overlap one another, so that at the end of the day, the sensor has a complete view of the globe. The Arctic is missing because it is too dark to view in visible light during the winter.
The NPP satellite was placed in a Sun-synchronous orbit, a unique path that takes the satellite over the equator at the same local (ground) time in every orbit. So, when NPP flies over Kenya, it is about 1:30 p.m. on the ground. When NPP reaches Gabon—about 3,000 kilometers to the west—on the next orbit, it is close to 1:30 p.m. on the ground. This orbit allows the satellite to maintain the same angle between the Earth and the Sun so that all images have similar lighting.
The consistent lighting is evident in the daily global image.

10 September 2019: Chess Dynamics, the UK-based advanced integrated systems and technologies company, has developed two new payload-agnostic, modular solutions to the military requirement for increased flexibility and cost efficiency in land-based surveillance and target acquisition operations.
The Modular Integrated Pod System (MIPS) is a self-contained, vehicle-mounted platform enabling quick and easy changeover of different surveillance and target acquisition payloads including radar, electro-optical tracking systems and counter-unmanned aerial systems (C-UAS).
Providing a squadron or company the same capability that would otherwise be obtained from three or four separate systems or vehicles, the mission-configurable system provides 360˚ surveillance coverage and is interoperable with supporting systems including weapons and ammunition. Its ‘clip-on, clip-off’ system ensures ease of use by operators when changing payload, limiting the need for specialist equipment training and reduces downtime for maintenance.
Chess’s MIPS unit contains all necessary system life-support elements including power supply, connections, processing, network connectivity, displays and controls. This functionality enables the system to be left unmanned where tactically required.
The system is currently in operational service with a NATO member nation and is undergoing further test and evaluation in a host of different vehicles types and fitted with a wide variety of mission-specific payloads.
David Eldridge, Sales Director at Chess, said: “MIPS has been developed in response to the rapidly evolving operational environment faced by many defence organisations, where there is a need for flexible resources that can be rapidly deployed, as well as the need to maximise cost-efficiencies.
“Armies are simultaneously involved in multiple operations worldwide, responding to new agile threats, without access to persistent, long-range surveillance and target acquisition assets at the F Echelon. From a surveillance perspective, troops can be hindered by each payload being fixed to either specific vehicles or locations – limiting responsiveness and, should the vehicle or technology require maintenance, the whole capability is out of action. MIPS provides ground forces with a flexible, modular solution enabling them to quickly and easily modify vehicles for specific tactical deployment.”
Additionally, Chess has developed an ISO container-based surveillance and target acquisition solution, where a fixed or semi-permanent base is required. Similarly compatible with multiple payloads including radar, electro optical tracking, or C-UAS capability, the ISO container and its common equipment can be easily transported, enabling rapid deployment of a chosen payload in areas previously more challenging to establish a fixed position. The unit provides a protective, habitable and environmentally-controlled space and contains an integrated interior control and display unit allowing the user to monitor and track targets from inside, even in extreme environmental conditions.
Chess announced in March this year that it had been awarded a contract through its US partner Liteye to equip a number of ISO containers with integrated C-UAS systems for the US Department of Defense (DoD), as part of a solution to meet threats at US borders and airports, and to protect critical internal infrastructure.
David Eldridge commented: “The containerised solution has been designed to improve survivability of forces, critical installations and assets, while offering the flexibility to tactically deploy capabilities in areas that may have been harder to maintain due to the need to station manpower in remote locations.
“Our continued supply of this capability to the US DoD, in this context for C-UAS operations, clearly demonstrates the confidence and trust that customers have in the solution to effectively detect, track, identify and defeat rapidly evolving threats.”

Mars 2020 mission: Scintillating pictures of NASA's Rover that would land on Red Planet
New Delhi, Oct 31: NASA is taking its Mars exploration endeavour to next level and the next venture is called Mars 2020 mission. This is part of NASA's Mars Exploration Program which is a long term effort that has many scientific goals including key questions about the potential for life on Mars.
The Mars 2020 mission involves landing rover called - The Mars 2020 rover - on the red planet. It is going to be an extremely advanced rover. NASA describes it as "In some sense, the rover parts are similar to what any living creature would need to keep it "alive" and able to explore."
The Mars 2020 rover introduces a drill that can collect core samples of the most promising rocks and soils and set them aside in a "cache" on the surface of Mars. A future mission could potentially return these samples to Earth. That would help scientists study the samples in laboratories with special room-sized equipment that would be too large to take to Mars. (Courtesy - www.nasa.gov.in/ www.mars.nasa.gov/mars2020)
The mission is timed for a launch opportunity in July 2020 when Earth and Mars are in good positions relative to each other for landing on Mars.
Dazzling images of NASA's Mars 2020 rover:
Mars 2020 rover
Mars 2020 rover is car-sized, about 10 feet long (not including the arm), 9 feet wide, and 7 feet tall (about 3 meters long, 2.7 meters wide, and 2.2 meters tall). But at 2,314 pounds (1,050 kilograms), it weighs less than a compact car. The Mars 2020 rover design is largely based on the engineering design for Mars rover Curiosity. This reliance on a proven system reduces mission costs and risks. The rover's long-range mobility system allows it to travel on the surface of Mars over a distance of 3 to 12 miles (5 to 20 kilometres). The rover has a new, more capable wheel design, among other improvements. For the first time, the rover carries a drill for coring samples from Martian rocks and soil. (Image and text courtesy - www.nasa.gov.in)
Basic design based on NASA rover Curiosity
Planning for NASA's 2020 Mars rover envisions a basic structure that capitalizes on the design and engineering work done for the NASA rover Curiosity, which landed on Mars in 2012, but with new science instruments selected through competition for accomplishing different science objectives.
The Mars 2020 rover helps prepare for future human exploration of Mars with a technology for extracting oxygen from the Martian atmosphere, which is 96 percent carbon dioxide. This demonstration of new technology helps mission planners test ways of using Mars' natural resources to support human explorers and improve designs for life support, transportation, and other important systems for living and working on Mars. (Image and text courtesy - www.nasa.gov.in)
NASA's rover design is improving by leaps and bounds with every single mission
The mission provides opportunities to gather knowledge and demonstrate technologies that address the challenges of future human expeditions to Mars. These include testing a method for producing oxygen from the Martian atmosphere, identifying other resources (such as subsurface water), improving landing techniques, and characterizing weather, dust, and other potential environmental conditions that could affect future astronauts living and working on Mars. (Image and text courtesy - www.nasa.gov.in)

Science instruments are state-of-the-art tools for acquiring information about Martian geology, atmosphere, environmental conditions, and potential biosignatures. (Image and text courtesy - www.nasa.gov.in)

The surface operations phase is the time when the rover conducts its scientific studies on Mars. After landing safely (Feb. 18, 2021), Mars 2020 has a primary mission span of at least one Martian year (687 Earth days). The Mars 2020 rover uses a depot caching strategy for its exploration of Mars.

If there were no such thing as the ubiquitous office cubicle, there would be no Dilbert comic strip.
A whole generation of managers, office dweebs, nerdy engineers, and cubicle dwellers have relied on the wry humor and dead-on happenings that Scott Adams wrote about in the iconic office space design of the ’60s.
Now, it seems the office cubical is undergoing a much-needed redesign. Led by big-name design firms Knoll and Herman Miller, the cubicle is moving away from rows upon rows of stark utilitarian spaces and towards features that emphasize comfort and collaboration.
Read more about it in the July/August issue of “Fast Company” or take a quick look at the online version here.

There are rapidly evolving sectors of Information Technology and Life Sciences that need legal and ethical instruments for avoiding malpractice and for shaping policies and strategies in conducting scientific research and disseminating its results to industry and society. New opportunities emerge to use Information Technology to face the complexity of Law in contemporary society. All this requires a set of interdisciplinary competencies that are usually lacking in the graduate market due to a lack of vision and strategy.
The “Law, Science and Technology” doctorate aims to address the problem of fragmentation that exists in Europe in this interdisciplinary area, by setting up a robust doctoral programme inspired by the Stanford programme in Law, Science and Technology, while also addressing the unique requirements of Europe by looking at the impact of European cultural identities on ethical, medical and legal discussion, as well as at the specifics of European regulations. The programme covers three different research fields with its curricula:
- “Bioethics and Biolaw”, which looks at the legal and ethical problems of advances in biology and
- “ICT Law”, addressing the legal risks and opportunities in ICT, and
- “Legal Informatics”, an area of informatics taking into account legal issues, including AI techniques applied to legal domain.
This programme promotes the excellence, innovation and competitiveness of Europe in critical legal and ethical fields such as the regulation of privacy, genomics and biobank, e-government, e-health and e- commerce, the right to free speech on the Internet and the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) with respect to new technologies. Moreover, it furthers the design of new software to support the legal profession, including systems based on the explicit representation of laws and regulations in computable form, including the topic of “check compliance” with international, European and national legal frameworks.
The Doctorate offers an innovative and up-to-date integrated programme that empowers candidates to carry out cutting-edge research in different subjects such as bioethics, law and computer science for topics that require a genuine interdisciplinary approach. It includes a period of internship in the third year, where the candidate can apply his/her studies and complement his/her research with a professional experience. Upon completion of the programme, graduates will become highly skilled researchers and professionals, matching the requirements of public and private sectors. They could be employed, e.g., in law firms working on IPR, privacy, ecommerce, and patenting; in high tech software houses where Artificial Intelligence is applied; in specialised research centres such as medical genetic centres, nanotechnology centres and robotic laboratories; in government offices which manage innovative ICT and eGovernment, eJustice and eParliament projects; and in ethic committees which analyse scientific innovations and produce policy documents.
The partners deliver a joint degree between four partners and a double title with the other. Associated partners such as the Centre for Ethics and Law in the Life Sciences (CELLS) of Hannover, European Genetics Foundation in Italy, Fraunhofer of Berlin, and TITL institute of the University of Tilburg provide expertise in specialist topics and offer internships, seminars and co-supervision of candidates. Law firms, enterprises and institutions will host internships, creating opportunities for applied research as well as opening up connections that may lead to employment for the graduates. Extra- European associate partner NICTA (Australia) guarantees the connection with the high technologies centre in an international perspective. The mobility of candidates will be well supported at all times, thanks to the universities’ extensive experience in hosting foreign students and use of advanced online instruments for remote collaboration.
The programme is at the intersection between research and teaching, and begins with a common path (first year in Bologna and then in Turin), while, in the second year, students continue in different structured tracks (first term in Barcelona or Luxemburg and second term in Vilnius or Hannover). In the third year internships are offered. A wide range of research, training and teaching plans is offered: Legal Informatics, Semantic Web and Legal Ontologies, Principles of computer science, AI&LAW and Logics for legal reasoning, Legal Argumentation, ICT-Law, Regulation of Internet, International Legal Framework for E-Business, Legal Framework and Strategic Aspects of E-Democracy, Privacy-Enhancing Technologies, Privacy in the European Framework, Relational Law and ODR, Bioethics and Biolaw, International Legal Framework of Biomedicine and Biotechnology and other specific seminars, accounting for a total of about 75 ECTS of which the student should choose 48 ECTS.

Eva Hudlicka: Obama should exert power on gun control
In response to the atrocity in Connecticut, the public discourse may finally be turning to calls for gun control. Some politicians appear to be following. Sen. Diane Feinstein’s plan to introduce a bill to ban assault weapons in the next session is a good one — such a ban would take us all the way to 1994, when Congress enacted a similar law under the Clinton administration.
However, Feinstein’s proposal is not strong enough, and her planned action would not be fast enough. The Newtown tragedy calls for more immediate action, and it calls for true leadership from President Obama. Shedding tears, “love and prayers” and flying flags at half-staff will not stop the next assault weapon massacre. The president has significant legal powers he can exercise via executive orders.
Now is the time to use this power to issue an executive order to immediately stop the sale of assault weapons and related ammunition. If he can issue executive orders to drone-bomb people halfway around the world, surely he can exercise these same powers to help protect children at home.
In fact, the president should go much further than that. He should declare a major initiative to address the violence that is endemic in America. This would entail not only additional gun control measures, including the elimination of assault weapon sales, but would address the glorification of violence in the media and the entertainment industry.
The president didn’t have the courage to address difficult issues during the campaign, for realpolitik reasons or otherwise. But he has now won re-election and it is his responsibility to address a major, long-standing domestic problem. It’s time to move past the platitudes and take real action to stop gun violence in America. It’s time to stand up to the National Rifle Association and the gun rights lobby, which contributed $3 million to political candidates during the last election and spent $5.5 million in lobbying.
It’s time to present a sane interpretation of the Second Amendment. In taking on this challenge, the president will have the majority of Americans behind him. Over 80 percent of Americans support limits on assault weapons, and an even greater majority support background checks on private gun sales.
Most Americans also oppose the NRA’s latest effort — reciprocity for concealed weapons, the practice of having states recognize gun licenses and permits issued elsewhere. This support also includes a majority of police chiefs across the country. In fact, the majority of responsible gun owners support stricter gun control.
Widespread public support exists. The question: Does the president have the courage to face the NRA-funded bullies in Congress, the gun manufacturers’ lobby and its front organization, the NRA and a small minority of irresponsible Americans and take meaningful action to try and prevent the next mass shooting?
Eva Hudlicka is a researcher in affective science and a psychotherapist. She lives in Leverett.

Ecommerce marketplace Snapdeal has appointed Amit Maheshwari as the Chief Executive Officer of its recently acquired fashion store Exclusively.com. Prior to this he worked as the VP of fashion merchandising for Snapdeal.
Overall Maheshwari has been at Snapdeal for over three years. Before Snapdeal, he worked as the head of apparel and personal care at Reebok India for over six and half years, from December 2005 to July 2012. He was also the category manager at ITC-LRBD for three and half years between June 2002 and November 2005.
Note that Snapdeal recently also appointed Animesh Sharma, former executive at Wize Commerce as the Chief Technology Officer of Exclusively, and Abhishek Passi, the former VP of strategy at Snapdeal, as the chief operating officer of Exclusively. This leadership team will work together with the co-founders of Exclusively, Sunjay Guleria and Mohini Guleria.
Exclusively acquisition: Snapdeal had acquired Exclusively for an undisclosed amount in February this year. Note that Exclusively.in was acquired by rival Myntra in 2012. But it looks like Myntra sold back its entire stake in the company back to founder Sunjay Guleria in second half of 2013 and the company had been operating independently ever since.
Exclusively.in started as a flash sales site but pivoted to a standard e-commerce model offering designer apparel and accessories in 2011. The company used to ship products only to the US and UK catering to but now ships to destinations in India and other global destinations too. Under the partnership with Snapdeal, Exclusively would continue to function as an independent site and all aspects of the online shopping experience would remain the same with new collections and service capabilities. Snapdeal with its nationwide reach would help Exclusively scale up and expand its current business and reach.

UVI student body shrinks 10 percent in 2 years
Published: August 30, 2013
Font size: [A] [A] [A]
ST. THOMAS - University of the Virgin Islands President David Hall asked faculty and staff to put their heads together during a town hall meeting Thursday to address the problem of declining enrollment.
The university's student body has shrunk from 2,733 in 2010 to 2,455 in 2013, according to Hall.
The decrease will necessitate an institutional "paradigm shift," Hall said, and he called for all departments to work together to promote greater attendance at UVI, and solving the problem is not solely the responsibility of the admissions office or of the university's executive leadership, he said.
Hall called for the university to create a leadership "culture" with solutions generated collaboratively as opposed to relying on a top-down structure, in which solutions are generated by executives and passed off for implementation without other input.
Lagging recruitment and retention both contribute to the enrollment decline, Hall said, but the focus of Thursday's meeting was to brainstorm ideas for driving up enrollment.
While Hall presented no specific plans to address the enrollment decline at Thursday's meeting, he said a future town hall meeting will focus on improving retention.
Hall said the decline in enrollment is more pronounced on the St. Croix campus than on the St. Thomas campus.
Freshman registration for the St. Thomas campus dropped from 464 in 2011 to 363 in 2013. On St. Croix, the enrollment has dropped from 238 in 2011 to 171 in 2013, according to data Hall shared at the meeting.
While UVI is still at the top of the list of schools that attract Virgin Islands graduates, the data gathered during the last six years suggests that a greater number of Virgin Islands high school graduates are opting to go to off-island colleges and universities.
Of a total of 925 graduates in 2006, 198 attended out-of-territory schools. Of the 1,050 graduates in 2012, 236 attended out-of-territory schools in 2012, according to the data.
In his Fiscal Year 2014 budget testimony before the Senate Finance Committee, Hall shared statistics that suggest that the number of Virgin Islanders who will be of college age will decline steadily during the next two decades, which Hall said is in keeping with national demographic trends.
The number of Americans turning 18 hit its recent peak in 2009, and will continue to decline through 2016, according to Hall.
Still, those are future projections that cannot account for the enrollment decline since 2010 at UVI, he said.
"You can see that that downward trend isn't a product of the fact that students graduating from Virgin Islands high schools are just dropping precipitously. There has been some changes in that regard, but the number of students graduating are relatively in the same category," Hall said Thursday. "Completing applications, enrolling with us, is on a steady decline, so how do we reverse that?"
Hall also said that during the last three years, UVI had seen the gap widen significantly between the number of students who start an application and the number of students who actually complete their applications.
Xuri Allen, the director of Admissions for UVI, said enrollment for middle-tier and less-selective colleges and universities is down across the country.
The specific causes for UVI's enrollment woes are several, Allen said.
The university still is working on establishing empirical data about the causes, but, based on anecdotal evidence and his experience as director since 2010, UVI's enrollment has suffered as the territory's economy has wobbled, especially with the fallout from the closure of HOVENSA on St. Croix, Allen said.
However, more than that, "assertive, even aggressive" recruitment of local students by other schools, backed by deep and highly competitive financial aid packages, is a definite concern, he said.
Some stateside schools are offering financial aid packages so large that they overpower the in-state tuition rates at UVI.
"There are a number of universities that will meet a student's financial needs 100 percent without loans," Allen said.
Residents of the Virgin Islands seemed to have a greater resistance to using loans to cover the cost of higher education than in other areas of the United States, he said.
Recruiting students from the mainland often is hindered by the university's lack of a marching band and athletic programs, as well as by the territory's lack of convenience, such as large shopping malls, Allen said.
Overall, the university will have a much clearer idea of how to address the problem when surveys from students who are attending off-island institutions this fall are returned and compiled, Allen said.

In one of the interviews, Christina Applegate talked about her battle with multiple sclerosis, which has been going on since 2021. Applegate has variable days; sometimes it's very hard, and sometimes it doesn't seem like it.
In 2021, when she found out about the diagnosis, she wrote on Twitter: “Hi friends. A few months ago, I was diagnosed with MS,” - she wrote. “It’s been a strange journey. But I have been so supported by people that I know who also have this condition.
It’s been a tough road. But as we all know, the road keeps going. Unless some a—hole blocks it”. Applegate also spoke about her desire for privacy at the time. “As one of my friends that has MS said, ‘We wake up and take the indicated action’.
And that’s what I do. So now I ask for privacy. As I go through this thing. Thank you xo”.
Christina Applegate and her fight
According to Vanity Fair, in a new interview, she reveals how difficult it is for her to face the challenges of living with such a disease.
As a result of the actress' diagnosis, she was forced to give up her role in Netflix's series 'Dead to Me' in August of 2021. "I miss that experience, but at the same time, since it was an incredible struggle this year and last year, I feel relieved that I no longer have to work so hard to get through the day." - she said.
After battling the disease for two years, the actress has admitted that she never has a "good day" in spite of the fight she puts up with. "You only have small, shitty days. People say, 'Well, why don't you shower anymore?' Well, because getting into the shower is terrifying.
You can fall, you can slip, your legs can fail. Especially since I have a glass shower. It's scary for me to go in there" - she confirmed.

Reykjavik is one of Europe’s most alluring capital cities, offering big city amenities whilst retaining a village feel thanks to a population of just over 120,000 people. In addition to its stylish bars and array of art galleries, the city also boasts some of northern Europe’s finest restaurants. From seafood delicacies to Europe’s best hot dogs, the Icelandic capital’s culinary offerings are anything but dull. Check out our guide to the best restaurant spots in the city you should visit on your next trip.
Icelandic Fish & Chips
It may be a dish most commonly associated with a day out in a British seaside town, but that hasn’t stopped Icelandic Fish & Chips from establishing itself as a popular seafood eatery. Having taken inspiration from the British way of serving up seafood in a ‘take away style’, the owners set about creating a menu of fresh, healthy dishes using nothing but the best of Icelandic ingredients. This means the batter is made without eggs or vegetable oil, and the chips are oven-roasted instead of fried.
The health-conscious approach is not to the detriment of the taste, however, as diners can enjoy a feast of some of the finest local seafood delicacies. Choose from grilled langoustine, steamed mussels and a range of seasonal fish from a constantly evolving menu. Don’t forget to sample their selection of homemade dips either, including tzatsiki, ginger and wasabi, tartar, truffle and tarragon mixes.
With a chef that competed in the Bocuse d'Or, the world's most prestigious gastronomic cooking competition, it's no wonder that Grillið restaurant is known as one of the best places to eat in Iceland. Located on the top floor of the Radisson Blu Saga Hotel, Reykjavik, Grillið also boasts of some of the best views over the entire city of Reykjavik. In fact, Grillið is mentioned in the Michelin Guide as one of the 5 best restaurants in Reykjavik. A three, four or seven course tasting menu is available. The dishes are prepared with the freshest, in-season ingredients and contain traditional Icelandic flavors with a contemporary flourish. A vegetarian tasting menu is also on offer and specially selected cheeses can be added by request. The menu is refreshed each month, so your dining experience will be unique each time you visit. Fantastic service and a warm welcome combined with incredible dishes serve to bring diners back time and again to this Reykjavik restaurant.
BBP – The Best Hot Dog in Town
The direct translation of BBP (Baejarins beztu pylsur) is simply ‘the best hot dog in town’ – and few would disagree. Don’t expect a luxurious sit down meal however; BBP is nothing but a humble hot dog stand serving up what many consider to be the tastiest hot dogs in Europe. Expect long queues of locals, visitors and celebrities; previous customers include former US President Bill Clinton. Favorite toppings include ketchup, mustard and fried or raw onion. Fancy sampling all of it? Then simply ask for ‘the works’ when ordering and you’ll soon be tucking into an almighty hot dog feast. BBP has four locations across the city, with the stand on Tryggvagata remaining open until 4.30 am on Friday’s and Saturday’s. It’s the ideal pit stop after a night on the town.
The fishing industry forms a key part of the Icelandic economy, and whilst the majority of their seafood products are exported, there are still plenty of restaurants in Reykjavik dishing up the very best of locally caught seafood. The aptly named Fish Market is one such place, specializing in combining the country’s freshest seafood ingredients with modern and oriental flavors. The Fish Market buys all its ingredients directly from farmers and fishermen in order to serve up the freshest food possible on your plate. The modern menu features everything from grilled Minke whale marinated with horseradish and soya ginger sauce, to lobster soup and grilled salmon served with parsnip, apple and fennel salad. There’s also a healthy wine, beer and cocktail list to complete a dining experience which is sure to thrill your taste buds.
These amazing culinary spots can be tried and tested when you stay close and comfortable at the Radisson Blu Saga Hotel, Reykjavik which is located in the town's popular west-town district. If you're heading in just for a day trip, the airport is just a quick 5 minute ride away from the domestic airport and a 45 minute ride from the international airport.
Experience delicious Icelandic cuisine in Reykjavik when you stay with Radisson Blu!

Laser scanning optimises the aerodynamic profile of track bikes racing around the Olympic velodrome in Athens.
Sports engineers in the UK equipped with a 3D laser scanner are honing the aerodynamic profile of Great Britain's Olympic track cycling team. With Olympic records tumbling and a tally of two gold medals and one silver, the research group appears to have hit upon a winning formula.
Part funded by a DTI grant, Sheffield University's Sports Engineering Research Group (SERG) set up the facility back in 2003 as part of a national program to give the UK elite sports industry access to advanced R&D facilities.
The group use a 3D scanning system, known as 'ModelMaker', to digitize sports equipment and athletes into a high resolution surface map. Based around a 5 mW class IIIa laser, the system supplied by 3D Scanners UK uses a 70 mm scan line to generate more than 23 000 points per second spaced at 50 micron intervals.
Guided by hand, the operator moves the scanner head over the target in a manner similar to spray-painting. "The system can render the surface in real-time," David Curtis of SERG told Optics.org. "You can see where you've missed points and quickly go back and rescan."
Working on the principle of laser stripe triangulation, a camera set at an angle to the target surface logs variations in height by detecting changes in the shape of the scan line. From a cycling perspective, the scanner provides an elegant way of integrating the rider and the bike into an aerodynamic model.
With gold medals riding on a fraction of a second's advantage, optimising the aerodynamic performance of the bike and rider is essential. "The split is around 66% rider, 34% bike," explained Curtis. "Because it is very hard to alter a rider's physical shape, the team's focus is on getting a rider into a position that optimizes biomechanical performance as well as being aerodynamic."

Were you on the thread last night that was about how Lindsey and McCain have both said that NO WAY are they going to back down.
Bush seemed like he was trying to tell them today..that he will give them one more chance to work WITH him, and not against him.
We just have to pray that the vote against Bush isn't veto proof.

I wonder if Madame Senator swaps outfits with Cynthia McKinney..
You MUST watch the replay on C-SPAN -- 8:00PM EDT.
POTUS nailed David Gregory. KO'd him.
Anyone that chubby should NEVER, EVER wear that outfit.
Condi could get away with it...but she has better taste.
Try to watch a replay of news conference.....It's awesome! David Gregory got a major slapping...
Without a DOUBT...this is the MOST hilarious photo of the week..hell..maybe the month..
What a grandstanding fool.
This is sickening - that a US Senator would 1.) draw a comparison between a CIA undercover operative and a terrorist pig, and 2.) think that Iran would afford any kind of a fair trial should said operative actually be caught in an act of sabotage or other violence.
Enjoy the luxury of these asinine debates over legal niceties now, folks; the day is coming when western civilization will be backed into a corner and such discussion will be completely moot. Until we prosecute this war against radical Islam with our full fury and might the insanity and carnage will drag on indefinitely.
Thanks! Good for him:) I'll make a point to listen to the replay..
When is this floor fight (vote) to take place?
Lets see if the real republicans have some cojones!!! It's a fight worth fighting for many reasons.
Good Idea.....Make these Senators go on record.
Early next week.
You should hear her talk these days...she says Ya-know 3 times in every sentence. I think she's breaking and will be discovered for what she is. We should run clips of her sayin yah-know over and over. Its not something an intelligent Senator should say.
LOL...don't ya love it when you can answer your own question? :) Yep..next week..we'll have to stock up on popcorn..

Depending upon the motor vehicle you push, the common job will get two to 4 several hours to complete.
wikiHow Contributor Take out among the battery terminals, if the vehicle turns off, most certainly it is the alternator. If you can travel it, go to the mechanic or automobile parts store, they'll probably Look at it without cost.
A thoroughly working battery is very important in fashionable cars and trucks and consequently the battery need to be load tested in the event the alternator is changed. Alternators are created to energy all vehicle electronics and retain a completely charged battery but Should the battery has unsuccessful and won’t keep a demand, attempting to continually re-cost such a battery by driving can overload the alternator. Substitute the battery and stay away from continuously jump-starting your vehicle.
Due to the fact both of such problems get started with delicate indications, It can be good to acquire your technician diagnose and repair the worn parts as early as you can.

The substitution parts rapidly bolt in the engine bay in the very same placement given that the outdated parts.
Premature Battery Failure. If the voltage regulator within the alternator has failed, and thus charging method output is too high, that can result in the battery to fall short due to overcharging.
The Highly developed electrical programs found in the present autos demand an intricate system of wires, cables, fuses and a lot more.
If the charging technique isn’t working at all, even further tests will be able to ascertain if the issue will be the alternator, the push belt, a difficulty that has a fuse or a challenge Together with the wiring.
We're sorry the ZIP Code you entered is invalid. Please ensure that you have the appropriate one particular and re-enter it.
This kit has almost everything needed to rebuild an alternator in lower than an hour or so and saved me the extra $eighty a rebuilt alternator costs. The Directions have been entirely satisfactory.
I commonly just have a screwdriver and create a scratch over the side from the alternator. Once i set it again with each other I just line up these scratch marks. This is important since the alternator will bolt back collectively 4 different ways. If you bolt it back again together Improper it could even now get the job done, though the wires might not arrive at, or be in a bad spot, Or perhaps it wouldn't bolt back again on the car at all!

text: Lake Baringo is one of a number of lakes that form part of the East African Rift system. The Tugen Hills, an uplifted fault of volcanic and metamorphic rocks, lies west of the lake, while the Laikipia Escarpment lies to the east. It is one of the two fresh-water lakes in the Rift Valley (the other being Lake Naivasha). It lies off the beaten track in a hot and dusty setting, and is one of the northern-most lakes in the valley. The real joy of Baringo is how little of the tourist traffic from Naivasha and Nakuru makes it up this far. Time spent boating and walking around the lake is heavenly, whilst the hot springs and flamingos of Lake Bogoria are only a short drive away. Over 470 species of birds have been recorded there, occasionally including migrating flamingos. A Goliath heronry used to be located on a rocky islet in the lake known as Gibraltar, but it is not visible any longer. However, experts say they are not permanent and could possibly be re-established in the future.

Because of an editing error, this story had an incorrect summary of Ballot Question 3. Town Administrator James Merriam said the long-standing practice had been for the town to pay 75 percent of the medical insurance premium for the surviving spouse of an employee or retired town employee. The ballot question sought to continue that practice, but it was defeated. Merriam believes that selectmen will attempt to revisit the question, possibly by the August special town meeting.
HARWICH — Voters approved a $990,000 tax override Tuesday to fund the town's share of the Monomoy Regional School District budget.
The vote on the override was 772-505.
Turnout during Tuesday's election was 1,286 voters, or roughly 10 percent of registered voters.
This was the first Monomoy Regional School District budget. Chatham passed its portion of the regional school budget, $8.4 million, at town meeting on Monday night.
The regional school committee used school choice revenues to reduce the Harwich override amount from $1.6 million to $990,000.
School officials insist that Harwich will see savings once the new school is built and the towns operate four schools instead of six and there is no longer duplication of staff and other costs.
Although the finance committee was concerned that the one-time reduction could result in a big override next year, they voted to unanimously recommend the regional budget as did selectmen. Harwich town meeting passed the regional budget last week with a near unanimous vote.
Also on Tuesday, voters approved spending $150,000 to dredge harbor channels. Harbormaster Tom Leach wants to use the sand to replenish nearby beaches that are eroding. The vote was 852-418.
Voters also passed a measure, 1,001 to 258, to instruct the board of selectmen to write letters to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the governor of Massachusetts to extend the emergency zone and radiological response plan around the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station in Plymouth to include all of Cape Cod.
Voters rejected a proposal, 776-442, that would have continued the town's policy of paying 75 percent of the medical insurance premium for the surviving spouse of an employee or retired town employee.

Are Civil Unions the Same as Same-Sex Marriage in Disguise?
The answer to the above question is simply stated: No! While civil unions have many of the same legal characteristics rights and obligations), the civil union relationship is not recognized under federal law. This is particularly significant in the context of estate planning. That is, the deductions and credits for federal estate tax that are available to married couples are not available to participants in civil unions.
Procedurally, there are some similarities between entering into a civil union as compared to entering into a marriage. In both instances the participants must obtain a license from the County Clerk’s office. The application requests basic information about the parties such as their names, sex, occupation, address, Social Security number, dates of birth and places of birth, as well as the names and addresses of the parents or guardians of the participants. The participants must also state whether or not they are related to each other and, if so, how are they so related. Parties cannot enter into a civil union if their relationship is that of parent, grandparent, uncle, aunt, niece, nephew, first cousin, brother, sister, child or grandchild-whether by full-blood, half-blood or adoption. In every other respect this relationship is available to parties of the same-sex as well as parties of the opposite sex.
Participants in a civil union must be at least 18 years of age or if they are 16 or 17 years old they can only obtain a license with parental consent. If either of the parties has been previously married they must present proof that the marriage is dissolved. In order to obtain a license both parties must appear before the County Clerk and have sufficient identification such as a current driver’s license or state issued photo identification. Both applicants must appear and sign the application in the presence of the County Clerk. In order to become official, the civil union must be certified. The civil union may be certified by a judge, a retired judge, the County Clerk and in counties having 2,000,000 or more residents, by a public official whose powers include solemnization of marriage. Civil unions can be certified by religious officials or any other public official whose powers include solemnization of marriage.
Under Illinois law, civil unions confer on the parties the legal obligation, responsibility, protections, and benefits extended to married spouses. But the same legal obligations, responsibilities, protections and benefits that are conferred upon the parties by Illinois law are not recognized under the federal law. Illinois will recognize same-sex marriages, civil unions or substantially similar legal relationships from other states. If such a relationship exists the parties may be required to provide proof of the relationship created out of state.
Parties that enter into a civil union in Illinois where the relationship later ends will be required to dissolve the relationship by a state court. The dissolution of this relationship can be dissolved by the courts of another state if the parties are then resident of that state. The dissolution of civil unions follows the same procedures and is subject to the same rights and obligations that are involved in the dissolution of marriages.
There are several areas where civil unions are substantially different than the marriage relationship. For instance, a prospective civil union partner cannot sponsor a party for immigration. The civil union partner is not entitled to health insurance and other benefits provided by the other civil union partner. Any insurance benefits provided to a civil union partner will be taxable under federal law unless the partner qualifies as a dependent under federal income tax law. The parties to the civil union relationship cannot file jointly for federal income tax purposes. However, the partners to the civil union may file a joint Illinois state income tax return.
If a civil union partner dies without a will in the state of Illinois, the surviving partner will be entitled to the intestate distribution available to married couples. If a party to a civil union dies with a will, the surviving civil union partner has the right to renounce what is left to the surviving partner and if the deceased partner has no children the surviving partner will be entitled to fifty percent of the estate. If the deceased partner has children, then the surviving partner would be entitled to one third of the estate.
As you can see, there are great deal of similarities between civil unions and marriage as viewed in the context of the state Illinois) law. However, the benefits and obligations of parties seeking formal legal relationship will not be afforded all of the benefits of a married couple. The benefits afforded to married couples under the federal law are substantial both in the estate planning area and in the area of entitlements.

America is an amazing place. In the last 12 hours I've been equally inspired by the President of the United States and a waiter in Houston. Talk about equal opportunity. The president promoted lofty ideals without specific ways to achieve them and the waiter demonstrated how to make it happen.
Let's start with the President. We watched the inauguration this morning. The pomp and circumstance was beautiful and very moving. Maggie politely sat through the speech because her girls Kelly Clarkson and Beyonce were going to sing. She did seem to be listening to President Obama, though. Good thing, too, because it seemed to me that he was talking about Maggie and her peers. My favorite line was this:
The president did not mention how exactly we can accomplish that as a society. But another excerpt from his speech gives a clue. ...we must be a source of hope to the poor, the sick, the marginalized, the victims of prejudice - not out of mere charity, but because peace in our time requires the constant advance of those principles that our common creed describes: tolerance and opportunity; human dignity and justice.
Here are the excerpts from President Obama's speech that seemed to be aimed at me and Maggie.


Address: 225 Radio Dr., Woodbury
Type: Medical office
Size: 54,000 square feet
Developers: Davis Group, Elion Partners
Architects: BDH + Young
Details: With the approval this summer of a new medical office building from Minneapolis-based Davis Group, the owners of Woodbury’s CityPlace are embarking on the final phase of their ambitious redevelopment of the 96-acre former State Farm Insurance campus.
Davis is codeveloping the building with CityPlace owner Elion Partners, contractor Kraus Anderson and architects BDH + Young. The plans call for a two-story structure anchored by Minnesota Gastroenterology, which signed a long-term lease for 18,000 square feet.
Set to open next summer, it will be similar to other CityPlace buildings with brick and stone exterior, generous glass elements and metal canopies.
The southern one-third of CityPlace has been completed with Whole Foods, Nordstrom Rack, Bank of America and other retail, while its north end now features a Spire Credit Union, two hotels and a Tria Orthopedics building. The only undeveloped piece is the footprint of the former State Farm building itself.
Under Elion’s latest submitted plans, the Davis building will be the first of seven office buildings in CityPlace’s business-themed final stage. They also include a restaurant and one additional hotel, located just east of a Marriott now under construction.
