Minions and mug rugs? How much fun can one quilter have? Throw in some denim and you have a fun project! This post highlights how perfect denim can be in making a minion mug rug for a child. Minions are a smashing hit and denim is the perfect stand-in to make a mug rug last against the adventures a child will bring to it!
Start by gathering a 6″ square of both denim and yellow print fabric, some bits of grey, white and black felt. You could also use fabric for the grey, white and black. I chose felt as I wanted a 3D effect. Don’t forget a bit of batting and backing.
With your 6″ denim square, cut a small rectangle out of the bottom, to create pants for the minion, as shown below.
Cut the yellow square into a dome shape for the head of the minion.
Stitch the body and head together along the middle and press to head.
Cut out a 3/4″ x 6″ band from the black felt and cut out 3 circles as shown from the grey, black and white felt, with a 1/4″ difference in size between the circles.
Layer black, white and grey and lay on top of band and pin to head of minion. I stitched right through all the layers of the circles a small circle to affix to the head.
Layer the batting and backing under the minion. Quilt along black headband and outer perimeter of the minion. I straight stitched 1/4″ in as I would like it to fray a little. If you prefer no fraying, do a tight zigzag stitch along outside edge.
How fun would it be to make up a bunch of minion mug rugs for a birthday party or give out as Christmas presents? The denim totally makes it!
You could also increase the size and turn them into place-mats! I hope you enjoyed quilting with denim all week long. Look to your creativity and explore the many more possibilities to use denim in quilts.

VIETNAM, March 19 –
5G will become the new normal for commercial real estate. — Photo courtesy of Cushman & Wakefield Vietnam
HCM CITY – Being better connected with 5G will become the new normal for commercial real estate, experts say.
5G, the next generation of wireless technology, is designed to usher in the era of “everything connected”.
In Việt Nam, according to the Department of Telecommunications of the Ministry of Information and Communications, last year, telecommunications companies have stepped up their investments in broadband infrastructure.
5G networks have been tested in 16 provinces and cities; The 4G network covers 99.8% of the population and the fiber optic networks cover all the towns and districts of the country.
5G will be commercialized this year.
In real estate, the market plays an important role as many smart cities are being developed and commercial projects are springing up all over the country.
Trang Bùi, Managing Director of Cushman & Wakefield Vietnam, said, “For commercial real estate, real-time asset monitoring could reduce operating costs and downtime, and 5G can open up new avenues. towards productivity. The pandemic has shown the need to transform the way we work and collaborate, and 5G has the potential to be part of that transformation.
An expert was quoted as saying on vnbusiness.vn that investors consider factors such as digitization and stability before parting with their money.
These factors are now considered more advantageous than traditional factors like low cost, large population and abundant human resources, and smart cities and projects where data and technology can be transmitted are preferred, he said. added.
Cushman & Wakefield said in a new report, “As we learn more about the capabilities of 5G, we are increasingly looking for opportunities in the Internet of Things (IoT) space. especially when it comes to sensors, buildings, and our ability to monitor different data points. around a given building.
“The number of sensors and the amount of data are growing exponentially, and 5G allows us to capture that data in real time so we can build smarter analytics around it. The potential in this area is enormous.
One of the drivers of real technological change will be 5G’s ultra-low latency, which is the time it takes for data to travel from the user to the central processor and back again, bringing time back needed at much less than the blink of an eye.
5G will directly impact many spaces in commercial real estate, including smart city, smart homes, healthcare, office spaces, the company said.
With more households using connected devices, centralized servers that process data collected from these devices increase privacy risk and latency.
In offices, 5G can eliminate excess cabling and basic infrastructure. If businesses can use private 5G, no Wi-Fi network or infrastructure will be needed.
This would ultimately open up many possibilities for designing floor plans and flexible workspaces.
“5G technology can do a lot for commercial real estate,” Trang said.
“Whether through robots, cars, health devices or retail, 5G will undoubtedly transform not only the way we operate, but also the way we work, live and play. .” —VNS

Illustration results for strongholds
Sin demands to have a man by himself. It withdraws him from the community. The more isolated a person is, the more destructive will be the power of sin over him, and the more deeply he becomes involved in it, the more disastrous is his isolation. Sin wants to remain unknown. It shuns the light. In the darkness of the unexpressed it poisons the whole being of a person. This can happen even in the midst of a pious community. In confession the light of the gospel breaks into the darkness and seclusion of the heart. The sin must be brought into the light. The unexpressed must be openly spoken and acknowledged. All that is secret and hidden is made manifest. It is a struggle until the sin is openly admitted, but God breaks gates of brass and bars of iron (Ps. 107:16).
Since the confession of sin is made in the presence of a Christian brother, the last stronghold of self-justification is abandoned. The sinner surrenders; he gives up all his evil. He gives his heart to God, and he finds the forgiveness of all his sin in the fellowship of Jesus Christ and his brother. The expressed, acknowledged sin has lost all its power. It has been revealed and judged as sin. It can no longer tear the fellowship asunder. Now the fellowship bears the sin of the brother. He is no longer alone with his evil for he has cast off his sin in confession and handed it over to God. It has been taken away from him. Now he stands in the fellowship of sinners who live by the grace of God and the cross of Jesus Christ… The sin concealed separated him from the fellowship, made all his apparent fellowship a sham; the sin confessed has helped him define true fellowship with the brethren in Jesus Christ.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Life Together, 112-113.
Bishop Raymond Allan Johnson
Prudentius (c. 348-after 405)
His power and miracles proclaim him God.
I see the wild winds suddenly grow calm
When Christ commands; I see the storm-tossed sea
Grow smooth, with tranquil surface bright
At Christ’s behest; I see the waves grow firm
As the raging flood sustains his treading feet
He walks dry shod upon the flowering tide
And bears upon the flood with footsteps sure.
He chides the winds and bids the tempest cease.
Who would command the stormy gales: “Be still,
Your strongholds keep and leave the boundless sea,”
Except the Lord and maker of the winds? …
Who on the sea could walk, who with firm step
Upon the flood could without sinking tread
That path with soles upborne and feet unwet,
Except the author of the deep, the Spirit,
Poured from the Father’s lips, that moved across
The waves, not yet hemmed in by solid shores?
A Hymn on the Trinity, Lines 649-79
As we faithfully serve the Lord through the power of His Spirit, the devil’s hosts will begin to attack us with all their might. As a result, we may be called upon to suffer for Christ’s sake. The veteran missionary Russell Ebersole was once greatly encouraged by the beloved Bible teacher William Pettingill.
After Ebersole told him of the disappointments and trials he had faced on the foreign field, Pettingill exclaimed, "Brother, that means you’re on the right track. If you never experience any opposition or setbacks in the Lord’s work, you ought to get down on your knees and ask Him to show you what you’re doing wrong!"
We have many difficulties, but God’s promises are greater! "For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds, casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God." (2 Cor. 10:4-5)
Thomas Paine said, “What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; ’tis dearness only that gives everything its value.”
The great evangelist George Whitefield was relating the difficulties of the gospel ministry to some friends. He said that he was weary of the burdens and was glad that his work would soon be over and that he would depart this earthly scene to be with Christ.
The others admitted having similar feelings -- all except one, a Mr. Tennant. Noting this, Whitefield tapped him on the knee and said, "Well, Brother Tennant, you are the oldest among us; do you not rejoice to think that your time is so near at hand when you will be called Home?"
The old man answered bluntly that he had no wish about it. When pressed for something more definite, he added, "I have nothing to do with death. My business is to live as long as I can, and as well as I can, and serve my Savior as faithfully as I can, until He thinks it’s time to call me Home." Whitefield accepted that word as a gentle rebuke from the Lord, and it helped him go on with his work calmly and patiently.
History records that many people made some of their greatest contributions to society after the age of 65. The Earl of Halsburg, for example, was 90 when he began preparing a 20- volume revision of English law. Goethe wrote Faust at 82. Galileo made his greatest discovery when ...
Men ablaze are invincible.The stronghold of Satan is proof against everything but fire.
"The true man of God is heartsick, grieved at the worldliness of the Church...grieved at the toleration of sin in the Church, grieved at the prayerlessness in the Church. He is disturbed that the corporate prayer of the Church no ...
Lane Adams once compared the process of spiritual growth to the strategy the Allies used in World War II to liberate islands in the South Pacific. First, they would “soften up” and island, weakening the resistance by shelling the enemy strongholds with bombs from offshore ships. Next, a small group of Marines would invade the island to establish a “beachhead” – a tiny fragment of the island that they could control. Once the beachhead was secured, they would begin the long process of liberating the rest of the island, one bit of territory at a time. Eventually, the entire island would be brought under control, but not without some costly battles.
Adams drew this parallel: Before Christ invades our lives at conversion, he has to “soften us up” by allowing problems we can’t handle. While some open their lives to Christ the first time he knocks on the door, most of us are resistant and defensive. Our pre-conversion experience is Jesus saying, “Behold, I stand at the door and bomb!”
The moment you open yourself to Christ, God get a “beachhead” in your life. You may think you have surrendered all your life to him, but the truth is, there is a lot to your life that you aren’t even aware of. You can only give God as much as you unde...

I agree. Feed'em raw! Meat and bones!
@aprilk Thank you for the recommendations! I'll add them to my list. I think I'll try several mentioned here and those will be among them. So far no touchy stomach, but I'll keep your experiences in mind!
@tanza Thanks, I'll look into Plaque Off. I talked with my vet about brushing and she said if you don't do it EVERY day, it won't make a difference. We've still got nearly all puppy teeth right now anyway. I've got her a toothbrush too.
When I picked up my dogs from my breeder, she gave me a very detailed diet. I won’t go in to that though because we’re talking about puppies. I’m guessing it’d be a different diet and I don't know anything about puppy diets.
As far as teeth and kibble… we’ve always wetted kibble and still do. Jengo had bad teeth and I had to have his cleaned several times. The vet always had to anesthetize him and recovery, for him, was rough. He also had to have a few teeth extracted as he got older. I discussed this with my breeder and she gave me her solution.
Every evening before bed both dogs get one last treat. I give them two cubes each of Hill's Prescription Diet t/d Dental Care Dry Dog Food. Just two cubes. I was able to get it from my vet with no problem at all. It’s made to break down plaque and clean teeth. My breeder's been breeding Basenjis for 35+ years. I trust her.
@tanza You misunderstood what I was trying to illustrate. No one should be alarmed if their dog isn't eating the exact same amount, of the exact same food, day after day. Thousands of years of the evolution of the animal indicates that it isn't the way they eat. Your may have trained your dogs to do it, and it may work very well for you. But that isn't a natural instinct, so... entirely different concepts.
raw chicken wings
No cause for concern... raw chicken bones are digestible without an issue. (Cooked ones, on the other hand, are prone to splinter and should never be given to a dog. ) Perhaps a chicken thigh bone would be big enough to warrant a chew before swallowing it(?). I like to give doodle beef neck bones. They tend to be the right size and store very well in the freezer. My only warning there is that it hurts to step on them. Not sure why doodle leaves them in the middle of the path!
@zande I'm not giving her rich processed food at the dinner table, but unprocessed whole foods like chicken, potatoes and vegetables at her usual mealtime, so not much different to what is in her tin but fresher. I only do this once or twice per week to add variety and freshness, as most of our meals are not suitable anyway. Some people make their own dog food but I don't have the time for that so I just supplement instead.
From what I have read, other than suitability, the issue with giving human food is about calorie density and I am mindful not to give her anything rich. I don't think that letting her enjoy a bit of dog appropriate healthy variety or feeding her at family meal times is treating her like a human - she's a family dog.
The bile started when we picked her up at 8 weeks and the breeder had been feeding her 4 times daily. I did consider that it might be the food causing it but we changed brands and it made no difference. The only thing that made a difference was keeping up with the frequent feeding and as others on this thread have said having a small snack before bed. I have read (including on this forum) that's it's quite common in Basenjis to get bile if they don't eat for too long, so I don't think that 4 smaller meals per day which include some unprocessed whole foods is causing it.
Although I can see that for most people feeding twice daily works well, I don't think there is one size that fits all and as dogs are scavengers, they are surely designed to tolerate eating frequently if that works better for the individual. Most sources recommend feeding adult dogs at least twice daily to avoid bloat That said I do plan to decrease the frequency as she continues to mature.
Her digestion seems fine on this regime - the only time she has an upset stomach or sloppy poo is when I have tried her on small quantities of raw food or she has managed to eat something unsuitable whilst out walking. It has also not yet resulted in food guarding or fussiness to eat her normal dog food.
I fed her raw chicken wings rather than cooked to avoid splintering. It is suggested on the RSPCA website as suitable for puppies from 12 weeks to keep teeth healthy.
@milena - Not that I am a Vet, but I disagree with what you vet said, my recent girls are now 11 and have no tarter or other issues. Of course all are different, some are just born with teeth/gum issues.
@jengosmonkey I haven't heard of a dog food for teeth before. Thanks for the link! I'll ask my vet about it!
@jkent Thanks for your insight. I like giving my girl scraps from food prep too. I remember seeing photos of your pup on the forum before. She's such a gorgeous dog, lucky you
I'm trying to keep up with comments directed towards me but I just want to thank everyone for your experiences and recommendations about food and everything else on this thread. I appreciate all of you!

With Dr. King’s background and qualifications, he wasn’t supposed to behave as he did. He was supposed to have understood his place. He was supposed to
have fallen into the “Glad-to-Be-Here” category — being favored by the ruling racists. It didn’t matter that all of the “Content-of-His-Character” boxes were checked.
What mattered was King’s race and the race of those he represented. Black - get back!
In the Deep South in the 1950s, every form of racism, save out-and-out chattel slavery, interconnected into a smothering web of oppression that limited everything
including education, employment, entrepreneurism…dreams. The KKK and lynching were threats. A white boy boasted that he hit a Black girl in the face because
she didn’t step off of the sidewalk to let him pass. There were even southern white liberals in the 1950s! Their mantra, of course, was “Go slow!”
It was not surprising to Black southerners that Dr. King returned to Georgia after his studies in the North. Southern states set aside funds to pay the tuition of Black
scholars to attend northern universities on the condition that those scholars would not attempt to integrate southern universities. Black students were blessed by
the return of our scholars to our schools and communities.
These powerful educators were critical to our education and liberation in the face of the white stranglehold on the curricula of segregated Black schools. Although
Black schools were “separate,” the white school superintendent and board of education controlled the Black schools and school employees. We were required to
read their textbooks and to learn their songs. But like our enslaved forebears who were forced to sit in the balconies of white “Christian” churches; while the
enslavers read “Slave, obey your master,” we heard “God is no respecter of persons.”
Dr. King’s ability to check all of the boxes meant little to white racists. To them, King was n-r preacher fomenting strife. Still the check-off list meant everything to
Black America. Dr. King’s attributes made it impossible for Black southerners of all ages to ignore his call to action. Dr. King’s name compelled transformational
change. Martin Luther led the break from Catholicism to form Protestantism. Dr. King’s was a voice that required listening: a voice that sends chills even today. As
Zora Neal Hurston wrote, “If you are silent about your pain, they’ll kill you and say that you enjoyed it.”
When the news of Dr. King’s death sank in, a student standing near me threw a cinder block through the back car window of a white family driving in front of us.
Our Black campus erupted in turmoil for more than a year, with buildings burned and multiple school closings. The tendency in many Black communities around the
nation was to direct rage inward; to damage whatever was near. The calling of Dr. King motivated me and others to take stands for the college. And this is our
calling: to stand up, to speak up and to act up in the face of external and internal vestiges of racism and bigotry. The King calling requires those of goodwill to
persevere through nonviolence.
From a human perspective, Dr. King didn’t have to die so young. Were King like most of us, he would have stopped early on. Had Dr. King quit the movement after
the Montgomery Bus Boycott, history would have acclaimed him a major social reformer. Had he quit after the signing of the 1964 Civil Rights Act or the 1965
Voting Rights Act, he would have earned the Nobel Peace Prize, the King monument and King Holiday.
A retired Dr. King could have earned acclaim and millions as a public speaker, a professor in prestigious universities, a best-selling author, a consultant and the
pastor of a mega-church. Few would have begrudged him for choosing longevity. But King could not retire. He was called unto death. We are not called unto death,
but we are called to do what we can as often as we can.
In the 80s the Madison Urban League held fundraiser banquets that brought many outstanding national figures to Madison. Around 1985, the keynote speaker was
Mrs. Coretta Scott King. I was honored to be the emcee for the evening and to sing Nina Simone’s elegy “What Now? The King of Love is Dead”, synched to a photo
slideshow of Dr. King, Mrs. King and their family. Mrs. King expressed her gratitude — a high point in my life as a performer. A half century later, Nina Simone’s
lyrics resonate still.
Once upon this planet earth, lived a man of humble birth,
Preaching love and freedom for his fellow man
He was dreaming of the day, peace would come to earth to stay
And he spread this message all across the land…
Turn the other cheek he’d plead, love thy neighbor was his creed
Pain, humiliation, death. he did not dread
With his Bible at his side, from his foes he did not hide,
What will happen now that he is dead?
He was for equality, for all people, you and me.
Full of love and goodwill, hate was not his way.
He was not a violent man, so somebody tell me, if you can
Just why he was shot down the other day?...
By Dr. John Y. Odom
The bombing of Pearl Harbor, the assassination of President Kennedy, the crashing of jets into the Twin Towers, Americans
of age can recall where they were and how they felt at the moment they received the news. The murder of Rev. Dr. Martin
Luther King, Jr. was one of those tragic events that will be seared forever in the memory of those capable of understanding.
April 4, 1968 was a beautiful spring day. I was a student at Lane College, an HBCU in Jackson, Tennessee. A fraternity
brother calmly announced that Dr. King had been shot in Memphis — which is 90 miles away.
From the inception of the United States, the critical issue has been, is and will be the schism between what a person does
versus who one is. If one meets societal expectations; if we work hard and play by the rules, can we expect equal treatment
and equal opportunities? Or, is it that no matter how hard one works and no matter how faithful one is to the rules, the
results are: if you’re white you’re right and if you’re Black, get back!
Dr. King played by the rules and checked all of the boxes. Dr. King:
• was southern born and bred. A liberator born anyplace other than the south would have been viewed as a troublemaker

The Ohio Democratic primary has officially been delayed till June after the state’s Supreme Court ruled against a legal challenge to the state’s move to push the vote due to coronavirus.
Four justices issued the ruling without an opinion. Thee ruling came after hours of legal wrangling.
The NYT reports: “Ohio’s governor on Monday night said he and top state health officials would ignore a court ruling and postpone Ohio’s presidential primary by declaring a public health emergency because of the coronavirus outbreak. The governor, Mike DeWine, said that the state’s health director, Dr. Amy Acton, had issued the order based on concerns that the coronavirus outbreak placed both voters and poll workers in potential danger. His announcement came just hours after Judge Richard A. Frye of the Franklin County Court of Common Pleas rejected the state’s request to push back voting to June 2.”
Said DeWine: “While the polls will be closed tomorrow, Secretary of State Frank LaRose will seek a remedy through the courts to extend voting options so that every voter who wants to vote will be granted that opportunity.”
Arizona, Illinois and Florida will hold primaries on Tuesday while adding precautions due to the coronavirus outbreak.


Mini decided to show their support for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games once again. For this, they offer a Mini Rocketman Concept with a color-intensive makeover both for the interior and exterior. This is actually a surprise as the Mini Rocketman Concept was a potential new model that was cancelled.
We had the opportunity to see this concept for the first time at the Geneva motor Show in 2011. Back then chances to see it in a production form were quite small and for a reason. One year later, the project was cancelled. It had several development problems like handling, stability and crash performance like a small platform that increased the costs too much. There are hopes to see the vehicle again on a waiting list as BMW is really considering bringing it back.
The new concept will be showcased during the Olympic Games. On the outside it has non-metallic paintwork with carbon components at the front end and around doors. It runs on 18-inch light-alloy wheels with white polished areas and metallic red accent. On the inside you can find a sporting ambiance creating a link between different detail and London. The model also features inner door panels and rear side sections trimmed in dark blue leather and door rings that provide an effective contrast with their white leather. The most distinctive element of the dashboard is the cockpit surface which has a very obvious 3D effect. The new design of the Mini Rocketman Concept displays its sporting spirit and eye for extravagant details through the range of sophisticated accessories for the interior. This new edition cuts an unmistakably Mini figure, underlining the central role played by typically Mini customization in every new product idea from the company. The model also is equipped with innovative technology for making driving a pleasant and fun character.

Marilyn’s Novels ~
According to Jane
In Marilyn Brant’s smart, wildly inventive debut, one woman in search of herself receives advice from the ultimate expert in matters of the heart… It begins one day in sophomore English class, just as Ellie Barnett’s teacher is assigning Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. From nowhere comes a quiet “tsk” of displeasure. The target: Sam Blaine, the cute bad boy who’s teasing Ellie mercilessly, just as he has since kindergarten. Entirely unbidden, as Jane might say, the author’s ghost has taken up residence in Ellie’s mind, and seems determined to stay there.
Jane’s wise and witty advice guides Ellie through the trauma of adolescence and beyond, serving as the voice she trusts, usually more than her own. Years and boyfriends come and go, but Jane’s counsel is constant, and on the subject of Sam, quite insistent. Stay away, Jane demands. He is your Mr. Wickham. Still, everyone has something to learn about love–perhaps even Jane herself. And lately, the voice in Ellie’s head is being drowned out by another, urging her to look beyond all she thought she knew and seek out her very own, very unexpected, happy ending…
The course of true love doesn’t always run smooth…
Everyone though Beth Ann Bennet and Dr. Will Darcy had an unexpected romance in Perfect Match. Well, Jane Henderson (Beth’s best friend) and Bingley McNamara (Will’s first cousin) begin their own unlikely love story in Perfect Bet, which starts at the Darcy/Bennet wedding, when they find themselves in the roles of maid of honor and best man for the happy couple.
Jane is an interning school psychologist and a woman who wears an angelic mask in public, but she’s not as sweet tempered as she’d like everyone to believe. Turns out, she may have just crossed paths with the one person who’ll unnerve her enough to get her to reveal her true self.
As for Bingley, he’s a wealthy, flirtatious and compulsively social financial guru, who likes to wager on stocks and, let’s face it, on just about anything that strikes his fancy. But this dedicated ladies’ man may have finally met the woman who’ll challenge his bachelor ways!
The Perfect Pair

“Marilyn Brant is a master at the fast paced modern romance.” ~Jen Red
” ‘but for my own part, if a book is well written, I always find it too short.’ – Jane Austen
This is exactly how I feel about a Marilyn Brant book, I always want more!” ~Margie Longoria

Take a Chance on Me (book 1) and The One That I Want (book 2) have nods to Pride & Prejudice, You Give Love a Bad Name (book 3) involves a heroine who is an avid reader of JAFF, Stranger on the Shore (book 4) highlights the lives of two very different sisters like those in Sense & Sensibility, One Night Love Affair (book 5) features a junior high English teacher who loves Jane Austen, and Coming Home (book 6) is inspired by Persuasion.

Mi Mix 2 is more gorgeous than ever, but brought into line with other flagships
Despite being introduced as a concept phone, Xiaomi’s Mi Mix was arguably the most interesting smartphone we saw in 2016. It was the phone that inspired Samsung, LG and Apple to feature 18:9 full-screen displays in their latest flagships, and it garnered so much attention in the consumer tech industry that today I have no fewer than six Chinese copycat phones sitting on my desk waiting to be reviewed, all with the product name ‘Mix’.
Producing a successor to that revolutionary handset was always going to be a tough job for Xiaomi, but in the Mi Mix 2 it has returned a gorgeous flagship that is more manageable in the hand and significantly faster. It also features the same primary camera as the company’s Mi6, which is a good thing
Running the 2.35GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 821, Adreno 530 GPU and 6GB of RAM, the original Mi Mix was a force to be reckoned with. Swapping in that 14nm chip with the 10nm Snapdragon 835, also running at 2.35GHz and paired with 6GB of memory, the Mi Mix 2 now makes that phone look slow. The Snapdragon 835 makes huge savings on battery life and significantly improves performance.
The Mi Mix 2 has performance as good as anything we've seen this year, bar the iPhone 8, and in fact, its full-HD display means that it doesn't have to push so hard in our onscreen graphics tests.
We've collated the results of our benchmarks for various comparable phones in the chart below, but the Mi Mix 2 is right up there with the likes of the Galaxy Note 8, OnePlus 5 and Pixel 2 XL. And it shows a significant boost over the original Mi Mix.
We recorded a staggering 6675 points in Geekbench 4's multi-core component, which is faster than the Pixel 2 XL and only a tiny amount behind the Galaxy Note 8 and OnePlus 5. Its AnTuTu score of 177903 beats the Note 8's 166,832, though.
In graphics tests using GFXBench the Mi Mix 2 scored the maximum framerate of 60fps in T-Rex, so we increased the intensity and in Manhattan, it achieved a commendable 55fps. In Manhattan 3.1 and Car Chase, it recorded 30fps and 24fps, which are still very respectable, easily playable framerates.
So what do all these numbers mean? In essence, the Mi Mix 2 is a powerhouse. We defy you to find any issue with its performance.
In terms of space for your stuff you get a choice of 64GB, 128GB or 256GB UFS 2.0 fast storage. All these options are generous, though there is no possibility of adding in more later via a microSD card. Choose carefully.
Connectivity-wise the only thing missing is an IR blaster. So you get NFC and a fingerprint scanner, which is necessary for making mobile payments, fast Wi-Fi, GPS and GLONASS, OTG USB and the latest Bluetooth 5.0.
There's also the aforementioned dual-SIM capability that will be useful if you want to use separate contracts for home and abroad, or business and leisure, and Mi Mix 2 supports all UK 4G connectivity bands.
In this regard the MIUI operating system supports Dual Apps, allowing you to run two instances of the same app each with their own home screen shortcut. This might save you having to keep switching your logins within apps, and it ties in neatly with the second relevant software feature...
Second Space lets you create a separate space on your phone that is password-protected. You can import photos, files, and apps to this space, then switch between spaces using the command in the notification bar. It may come in useful if you're using two numbers on the phone, or if you have something to hide.http://www.techadvisor.co.uk/review/android-smartphones/xiaomi-mi-mix-2-3665755/

Delhi Police on Saturday held their half-yearly press briefing in order to have better communication with the media and to inform the general public about the state of law and order in the capital.
“Since both the media and police intend to further better society, it is imperative for both to interact more often and in a more healthy manner. The press highlights lapses on the part of police and we welcome these reports. At the same time, there are reports which we might feel have not been fairly written. Through more effective interactions, we can discuss these matters amongst ourselves. This press briefing is in view of the same,” a senior police officer said.
- Sexual assaults on women: New Delhi, Sao Paulo perceived as worst megacities, says poll
- Testimony of victim enough: Delhi HC finds father guilty of rape
- Rape in Delhi school: SDM report identifies 'major lapses' in school functioning
- Thane: BJP corporator Daya Gaikwad booked for alleged rape
- Delhi school child rape: Govt orders magisterial inquiry, CM Arvind Kejriwal describes incident as 'shameful'
- Shimla rape and murder case: One more suspect detained as anger grows
Discussing the latest law and order situation in the capital, police said there has been a marginal fall in the number of rape cases registered this year (till April 30) — 621 cases as compared to 640 during the same period last year. Cases of molestation, however, saw a rise from 1,255 last year to 1,474 this year.
Crimes like murders saw a fall from 184 last year to 165 this year while attempt to murder cases rose from 209 last year to 225 this year. Other street crimes like cases of motor vehicles theft, dacoity and burglary, however, have seen a steady increase. Cases of snatching stand at 3,087 as compared to 2,587 last year. Motor vehicle theft rose to 9,112 from 6,519, burglary rose to 4,203 from 3,037 and robbery rose to 2,218 from 1,537.

Apple’s macOS Sonoma update has just been launched and, let’s be honest here, it’s a pretty modest upgrade (probably thanks to the work required on the Vision Pro’s software). Still, when Apple unveiled Sonoma a few months ago, there was one feature that got me excited: Continuity Camera.
- Unfulfilled promise
- Welcome additions
This nifty tool lets you use your iPhone as a high-quality webcam. Sure, it actually debuted with macOS Ventura, but this year we’ve got much more control over how it works. Sliders! Toggles! Yes, it’s all here.
I’ve been playing around with the spruced-up Continuity Camera to see if my excitement was justified. While it’s not perfect, the latest changes mean that, for many people, it’s a better option than even the best webcams. Here’s why.
macOS Sonoma public beta review: more than just screensavers
Apple just gave Mac gamers a big reason to be excited
Have an iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch? You need to update it right now
In macOS Ventura, Continuity Camera showed a ton of promise. It would let you make use of those high-resolution, turbo-charged cameras on your iPhone, save you the money you’d otherwise spend on a webcam, and get a strong dose of Apple’s patented combination of techno-wizardry and ease of use. What’s not to love?
Well, although it was great quality and wonderfully simple to use, its limitations quickly became apparent. Most effects, from the background-blurring Portrait mode to the auto-framing Center Stage, were simple on/off switches. There was little-to-no customization available, so if Portrait mode didn’t blur out your shamefully messy bedroom quite to your liking, well, that was too bad.
Ultimately, it wasn’t a huge problem — we still had a really neat tool that meant anyone who did not already own a webcam didn’t need to fork out any cash to buy one. But I couldn’t help feeling it was a bit of a missed opportunity on Apple’s part. The company had left the improvements for another day when they should have been present from the start. But better late than never, right?
If like me, you were left wanting more from macOS Ventura’s Continuity Camera, you’ll likely find that the macOS Sonoma update fixes a bunch of your gripes. In many ways, it feels like the product Apple should have released last year.
Most features, including Portrait Mode, Center Stage, and Studio Light, can now be adjusted. Both Portrait Mode and Studio Light now have sliders that let you tweak the strength of their respective effects, while Center Stage allows you to choose between the Main and Ultra Wide cameras on your iPhone (provided your phone has both).
To be clear, this hasn’t fixed everything. Portrait mode’s blur is still disappointingly anemic, and I’d love much more control over the field of view than the measly two options Center Stage offers. You still get more settings in the rival Camo app, which I definitely recommend trying out. For a little menu bar app, Continuity Camera is greatly improved, but it could be so much more.
Still, let’s be fair. Apple has fixed up a bunch of Continuity Camera’s key weaknesses, and it’s absolutely one of the best features in macOS Sonoma. The fact that something like this is a highlight really emphasizes how small this macOS update is. But given how much video calls dominate our lives these days, Continuity Camera’s improvements are a welcome addition.

The National Audit Office recommended that the Authority commit to instructions of standard finance manual in taking measures against consumers who failed to pay their bills over long periods of time and collect the overdue charges.

Choosing the Right Food Rewards for Your Dog
By Brenna Fender
If you attend a dog training class, you are likely to be asked to bring treats with you so that you can reward your dog. But how do you pick out the best treats for training?
No matter what kind of treats you purchase or make, they should meet some basic criteria.
Training treats should be soft. Crunchy treats take too long to eat and can lead to choking during training.
Your dog should eat a training treat in two bites or less. Smaller treats create less down time during training, allow the dog to better connect the treat to the action it is rewarding, and are less fattening.
Choose treats that don’t crumble. You don’t want to distract other dogs by leaving crumbs around the training area.
There are many treats that meet our basic criteria available in your average pet store. How can you choose the best option?
Pay attention to where the treats are made. There have been canine illnesses and even deaths linked to treats made in some countries. You might find that it is safest to look for a “Made in the USA label.”
Choose healthy ingredients. Excessive sugar, fillers, and preservatives may be unhealthy for your pet.
Remember your dog’s dietary restrictions. If your dog eats a limited diet, remember to follow those rules in the treats you buy as well.
Make Your Own
Some people make elaborate treats, baking liver or tuna brownies for their pups. There are many treat recipes available online, plus there are tons of treat recipe books for sale. But you can also use some items from your own kitchen as treats. Cheese is a great treat option, and it is easily cut into small pieces. Meats work well too, and so do chopped baby carrots. Hot dogs are also easy-to-use treats.
Some human foods, like raisins, can be toxic to dogs, so research any questionable items if you are not sure of their safety.
Moderation is Key
Introduce new treats in small amounts to see how your dog will react to them, and always use treats in moderation. They should not be a major part of your dog’s diet. Monitor your dog’s weight and adjust the number of treats and the amount of food consumed as necessary.
Dogs really do not notice the difference between a large treat and a small one so remember that when you are handing out goodies. A pinch of cheese is as exciting as a mouthful for your pup!

A message in a bottle holds the promise of surprise and wonder, as told in this enthralling picture book by Caldecott Medalist Erin E. Stead
The Uncorker of Ocean Bottles, who lives alone atop a hill, has a job of the utmost importance. It is his task to open any bottles found at sea and make sure that the messages are delivered. He loves his job, though he has always wished that, someday, one of the letters would be addressed to him. One day he opens a party invitation—but there’s no name attached. As he devotes himself to the mystery of the intended recipient, he ends up finding something even more special: the possibility of new friends.
This book is worth buying for the beautiful illustrations alone, but the story and writing equally beautiful. It’s one of the real treasures of our bookshelf. We’ve been reading it for years, and my now three-year-old has never gotten tired of hearing it, and I’ve never gotten tired of reading it to her. One of my favorite things about it is that without being preachy or even having a single clear moral, it’s the kind of book that makes you feel good and makes you want to be a good person.
This book tells the story of a man who delivers letters found at sea. When he is unable to deliver an invitation to a party, he searches all over town to try to find the attendee.

This gives you good number of personal heals so you can use an offensive boff for BFaW, or spread. Use your tractor beams to slow down targets for easy crits and some shield damage, and its really helpful on the defender at the end. Be a Sci captain for that too
alright ill prob stick on two dbb or something, most likely have a tac team or a beam overload and go with an aegis set and some damage consoles and see how things work out and tweak it from there.

Breakfast Session: Sponsored by Fujitsu Network Communications Inc.
Many communities are indeed thinking hard about expanding and enhancing broadband access, the latest survey by Craig Settles shows. And 9 out of 10 depend on broadband connectivity for K-12 education. But many groups are under-served and it seems that planners and economic development professionals still have a lot to learn about broadband in general and fiber to the home in particular. Join this early morning session for breakfast and hear the nation’s leaders on this issue discuss how we might move forward.
Building the Gig-Driven Economy: How to Plan, Fund and Measure it.
How adding high speed fiber broadband is accelerating the economies of U.S towns and cities – including Richardson, Texas.
Paul Fagan – SVP Sales and Marketing, Fujitsu Network Communications
William Sproull – President & CEO, Richardson, TX, Chamber of Commerce / Economic Development Chief, Richardson / Chairman, International Economic Development Council Board of Directors
Results Of Annual Survey Of Economic Development Professionals
Knowledge of ultra-broadband's effects on quality of life and economic development is far from universal among the nation's planners, builders and economic development professionals. But there is progress. Where do we go now?
Steve Ross – Corporate Editor, Broadband Communities
Craig Settles – Founder, Gigabit Nation
Discussants: Jim Baller, Steve Ross, Craig Settles, William Sproull, Paul Fagan
9:00 am – 9:50 am
Emerging Local Strategies to Acquire Fiber Networks
When Google launched its Fiber for Communities initiative in 2011, more than 1,100 communities applied for a Google fiber project. Since then, the level of interest in such networks has exploded among communities across America. To date, however, Google Fiber has only committed to developing fiber networks in less than 40 of America’s 40,000 communities. This session will explore what other communities are doing to avoid being left behind.
Joanne Hovis – CEO, CTC Technology & Energy
Robert Wack – Council Member, City of Westminster, MD
Michael Smeltzer – Former Director of Networking and Community Projects, UC2B
Deborah Acosta – Chief Innovation Officer, City of San Leandro
10:00 am – 10:50 am
Working With Economic Development Professionals
Working together in harmony, advocates of advanced broadband networks and economic development professionals can accelerate the development of sustainable networks that drive and support robust economic development, educational opportunity, and many other community benefits. For example, broadband advocates can contribute critical network information that economic development professionals can use to attract or retain employers, and economic development professionals can employ a wealth of tools to strengthen the hand of advanced network advocates. This session will examine what the broadband and economic development communities are doing today, and will be doing in the futureg, to support and strengthen each others’ efforts.
William Sproull – Chair, IEDC / President & CEO, Richardson Chamber of Commerce
Aaron Deacon – Managing Director, KC (Kansas City) Digital Drive
Todd McDaniel – President & CEO, The Research Valley Partnership
Craig Settles – President, Gigabit Nation
2:30 pm – 3:20 pm
Public-Private Partnerships for Economic Development
Neither the public sector nor the private sector, acting alone, can maximize a community’s or a region’s economic development. Public-private partnerships, which can take many shapes and forms, can make both sectors more successful in achieving their common goals. This session will examine a number of such successful partnerships, highlighting the key features that enabled them to work well.
Diane Kruse – CEO, NeoFiber
James Benham– President & CEO, JB Knowledge Technologies, Inc.
Gregg Logan– Senior VP, C Spire Fiber
Duncan Ramage – Senior Vice President, Macquarie Capital
3:30 pm – 4:20 pm
State, Local and Regional Success Stories
In this session, leaders of successful state, regional, and local projects will tell their stories – what challenges they faced, how they met these challenges, where they are today, and where they’re heading.
John Honker – President Magellan Advisors
Max Beverly – Mayor, Thomasville, Ga.
Jody Wigington – General Manager & CEO, Morristown (Tenn.) Utility Systems
David Salway – Director, New York State Broadband Program Office
Drew van Dopp – Director, Admin & Grants, Maryland Broadband Cooperative, Inc.
5:10 pm – 6:10 pm
Anchor Institutions and Beyond: Economic Development for Network Sustainability
Middle-mile networks focusing initially on community anchor institutions are contribution to economic development in at least two ways: (1) they are branching out to serve other customers that advance economic development, and (2) the community anchor institutions they serve are themselves providing services that drive and support their communities’ economic development. This session will examine examples of both kinds, and more.
Marty Stern – Partner, K&L Gates
John Windhausen – Executive Director, Schools, Health and Libraries Coalition (SHLB)
Joe Freddoso – President/CEO, MCNC (advanced communications for North Carolina)

Sometimes you see things that makes you think “I could do something cool with that” and not always know what right-away, but you have to follow your gut. One time I was walking in the grocery store and saw this very kitchy christmas deer, very inexpensive and I follow that felling because I saw potencial in it. So i bought it and decided to see if I could remove all that glitter.
I found some inspiration online and decided to painted white like this beautiful image!
This project took me 30 minutes with out the de-glittering
cost: deer $2 usd + spray paint $3 usd
I soak the deer for like one whole day, scrubbing all the glitter and glue, layers of sticky glue.
I just had to make sure to clean up very well after I drained the water.
After a lot of cleaning this is what was underneath all that, the good thing is that i was made out of plastic otherwise it could be ruined for all the soaking. Then I paint it with a white spray paint (sorry no pic) like 4 coats in a venti...
I have always loved vintage furniture specially when you mix modern and vintage stuff. My room has a mixture of everything, but still I am trying to unify it a bit at a time. This post is about a beautiful chair. I recently found two images on pinterest and I finally knew what was the name of the design that I really liked. It´s called Louis XVI Neo-Classical Squared Chair even though it´s a bit more masculine than the Rococo style in the right, I think it makes it a little more modern mixable. I personally love how this illustrations compares the differences in styles between each of them. Being an Industrial designer myself I always try to look for quality classic pieces that will last forever and know the importance of good design.
Here you can see how mixed with contemporary decor you can use it so beautifully, this is the set of Fashion Police which I really like, this is a modern version made by designer Jonathan Adler, I believe he updated the set with a full make over including...

18 F-fluoromisonidazole uptake in advanced stage non-small cell lung cancer: A voxel-by-voxel PET kinetics study.
The aim of this study was to determine the relative abilities of compartment models to describe time-courses of 18F-fluoromisonidazole (FMISO) uptake in tumor voxels of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) imaged using dynamic positron emission tomography. Also to use fits of the best-performing model to investigate changes in fitted rate-constants with distance from the tumor edge.

November is winding down and with it usually comes quickly the end of public displays of gratitude. Sure, you’ll see the random posts on social media about gratitude in July or February but they are much more regularly available in November and December. This is not entirely coincidental since it’s the time of year of the greatest overindulgence, getting, and splurging. We decide we are thankful for our lives, our friends, our family, and our new gifts at Christmas.
It’s basically socially acceptable to be grateful in November. In fact, if you are not grateful it’s the only time of the year that’s a real problem for the rest of the world.
Interestingly enough, the sermon at church yesterday was on letting go of the “should” and “ought to” in regard to being thankful and grateful. What, you might ask? That doesn’t seem right. The gist was that we are often thankful for, or encouraged to feel grateful for, the good things in our life only. We are pushed, and push ourselves, to feel we should be grateful because our problems, challenges aren’t as hard as others. We have it better than …
And soon our gratitude becomes another to-do, another way to strive to be good enough in the eyes of the world. That isn’t gratitude, that’s called fitting in. That’s called conformity.
We have talked about gratitude, the practice of it extensively on this blog. Lowi and I have considered it frequently between the two of us in regular conversation, both in relation to our blog and our lives. So when it was presented to me that gratitude is not a contextual process but a spiritual practice, I have to say I was surprised.
Yes, I strive to find things in my life to be grateful for and frequently I also turn my attention to the little things. I work to appreciate the little conveniences, the way things are going right in my life when it is easy to say that everything is going wrong. I sometimes work to find the silver linings but that’s just it — it’s work. It’s a way to talk myself into a feeling or out of a feeling. That’s not the way it’s intended to be and worse yet, it doesn’t work.
It is then simply a cognitive process and the truth is only the feeling of gratitude is transformative. Only the conjuring of genuine emotion creates genuine change in our lives. But when you consider gratitude in the context of being a spiritual practice, that becomes a whole new lens.
Then we are grateful in an entirely new way. It’s no longer about the new handbag or the vacation, although it’s great to be thankful for these things. Then it becomes a practice in being sincerely grateful for the breath in our lungs, the beating of our heart, the guidance of a power higher than us humans – way higher.
When was the last time that you pondered being grateful for your life. I mean, honest to goodness, near tears gratitude for your L-I-F-E. I can tell you, I have never felt that. I can also tell you that is my new practice. I can imagine what that would feel like and that’s a start. I can imagine being in awe of the intelligence that keeps our heart beating or the next breath filling our lungs. I can appreciate, cognitively, the sheer genius of our cells, how they work, and how the human body works.
I know this because recently my sister had her gall bladder removed and when you try to pinch hit for the human body when you are missing an organ, things get harder. Then you start to notice, wow, the body does SO MUCH we never think of till things go awry.
Or the blessing that is a well-functioning pancreas. I go my whole day and eat, drink and never once ponder my blood sugar and yet I know all too well that two of my nieces, and my sister by extension, do not enjoy that luxury any longer. The body, when operating on all cylinders, is a miracle. And I realize that part of gratitude is paying attention. Because now that I’ve written all that I think, wow. I am getting more thankful for the well-working parts. And I am thankful in the greatest of ways for modern medicine when it brings us things like insulin.
For those of you who are on the ride of #last90days with us and know we are writing down each day five things for which we are grateful, how does this change your viewpoint? For those of you not participating, how does this alter your gratitude meter?
Some times the only thing we need is a little contemplation and the appreciation starts to build. As we close the socially acceptable gratitude month and quickly hurdle toward January where it’s otherwise encouraged for you to be a grouch, hate everyone and believe that nothing is good, I invite you to consider, do you want to live in that emotional space?
Do you want to operate as if nothing is a miracle or everything is?
Sunshine & Sarcasm,
Lowi & G

Watch out Dooce. Move over Soleil Moon Frye. Make way Daphne Brogdon. There’s a new mom in the wide world of video blogging, and she has one helluva disposable income, a famous family (or infamous family, depending on whether or not you like reality TV and basic social units that made it into American pop culture by way of a sibling’s sex tape), the backing of a cable television network, and a pretty great fashion sense.
Kourtney Kardashian is the latest mother to get in front of a camera and talk about her adventures in parenting. Of course, those adventures in parenting don’t touch on hot button child-rearing issues or other concerns that may be more familiar to the 99%, but so far focus on multi-colored baby moccasins and the importance of layering for the sake of fashion while living in New York City.
And actually, I think that’s okay. It’d be easy to critique this show with a lot of snark, but not every program (parenting or otherwise) always needs to be about something with some gravitas. Kourtney’s Mommy Blog is the reality TV version of Momversation or (insert your favorite mom-oriented online video program here). It’s superficial, pretty to look at, and unoffensive and appealing to the lowest common denominator. Sometimes, we want to be entertained and educated. Other times, we want to chillax and see a closet full of adorably small Ralph Lauren jackets and size two golden sneakers. (Of course, there’s an argument about how showcasing this kind of unattainable – for most Americans – level of consumerism is bad for the world at large, but let’s save that argument for a different article.)
Kourtney shot 10 episodes with E! Online while she was filming the latest season of Kourtney and Kim Take New York. Future installments will cover some of “her favorite things, questions she gets asked a lot, and just things that she’s found helpful” while being a mother. Check them out weekly at EOnline.

Grilled Pizza Mushrooms, Zucchini, and Halloumi Sunday, September 11, 2016, 07:32 PM
We weren't very hungry so we kind of made a bunch of sides and no real meal.
We made grilled pizza mushrooms using the Delallo Vodka sauce, plus some mozzarella cheese, fresh tomatoes, and crushed red pepper. And then we added some fresh basil afterwards.
We also grilled some halloumi (with a bit of cumin and garlic powder). And finally some zucchini with some z'atar and salt.
I think the zucchini (and maybe the mushrooms) could have used more time and the halloumi a little less. It may have also been the way we cut the zucchini or simple that it needed more time.
I think I need to play with my timing a bit more on the grill. Maybe next time1 I will do the halloumi on the upper shelf and/or for less time. I am not really sure how best to do the mushrooms. They were starting to spill over. Maybe too much sauce?
Still a pretty good meal.
i.e. next year ↩

Following the Jets, 45-20 loss to the Raiders, Todd Bowles announced that Bryce Petty is New York’s No. 2 quarterback for foreseeable future.
Now that Petty’s knee is healthy, Petty will be backing up McCown over Christian Hackenberg. Should McCown go down with an injury, Petty will be the man to step in.
Does this mean the Jets have given up onHackenberg? The past two weeks the Jets have suited up two quarterbacks. Hackenberg was the odd man out this
The past two weeks the Jets have suited up two quarterbacks. Hackenberg was the odd man out this week after Petty sat out the first week. Clearly, this doesn’t look good for the former.
Petty drastically outplayed Hackenberg in the preseason and has starting experience, so it makes sense for him to pace Hackenberg on the depth chart.
Hackenberg has yet to play an NFL snap.

From Business Insider:
On Wednesday and Thursday of this week online men’s accessory shop, The Tie Bar, is teaming up with Michael Carl of Vanity Fair to give men a 15 minute wardrobe boost.
We’re not talking a full-on suit change. Carl will just be upgrading the little things — socks, neckwear, suspenders, pocket squares… subtle stuff.
The event was created with Wall Street — and any other guy who has to show up to work in a suit, we suppose — in mind.
Check out The Tie Bar on Twitter for more details on location.
