The President’s appointee for the position of Auditor-General, Daniel Domelovo, has rejected the offer, Editor-In-Chief of the Ghanaian Observer has claimed.
Egbert Faibille Jnr said Daniel Domelovo swerved his swearing-in ceremony scheduled last Friday at the Flagstaff House.
A letter signed by the out-going Chief of Staff Julius Debrah and sighted by myjoyonline.com said Mr Domelovo has been offered the post and is to confirm his acceptance of the appointment by December 28, 2016.
The accountant, who is based in Harare, Zimbabwe was in Accra when the offer was made.
President John Mahama has been criticised by the incoming administration for making ‘last minute’ appointments after losing the 2016 general elections.
Egbert Faibille Jnr, a legal practitioner, said on Joy News’ Newsfile Saturday that he believes Daniel Domelovo may have gotten wind of the controversy surrounding these appointments.
He might have thought to himself, “I am better off doing my work and not to invite all this brouhaha [to myself].”
“.. and so he leaves town and the swearing-in that was supposed to have taken off yesterday hasn’t come on. I believe that is the end of the road,” the lawyer and NPP member said.
“I am telling you on authority that the swearing in was to take place yesterday…he has rejected this appointment..without equivocation, that is what I can tell you,” he asserted.
Egbert Faibille castigated President Mahama’s ‘last-minute’ appointments, describing them as ‘a very, very shambolic’ move.
President Mahama last Tuesday, swore-in Joseph Akanjolenur Whittal as the new head of the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) and Josephine Nkrumah who now heads the NationalCommissionn for Civic Education (NCCE).
The CHRAJ position officially became vacant on November 4, 2015 – more than a year while the NCCE position was left without a substantive head since July 2015.
The NPP has dragged President Mahama to court over these appointments and also criticised rumoured ‘last-minute’ recruitments into the public and civil service.
Speaking on the appointments, the editor and lawyer described President Mahama’s move as akin to ‘distributing toffees to children’.
Despite conceding that the President is acting within the constitution, “the fact that you have the right does not mean you must do it”.
Egbert was particularly critical of the appointment of a head of an anti-corruption and pro-human rights body, CHRAJ.
He suggested President Mahama has not demonstrated commitment to fight corruption and questioned why he would keep the post vacant for more than a year.
“I never knew that president Mahama had so much faith in CHRAJ that at the very last moment he wants to stamp his implementeur on CHRAJ before he leaves office,” he said.
He suggested that it would have been graceful for Mahama to have left these appointments to the incoming President to make.
“If he wants to be remembered for anything that he has done, I don’t think these appointments are anything that he must be proud of.
“There is a way that seemth right unto man but the end thereof judgement” he quoted scriptures to the President.

SSH cDNA Library Construction Service
Suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) is one of the most powerful and popular PCR-based methods for isolating differentially expressed transcripts. Using a small quantity of either total RNA or poly(A)+ mRNA from each of two populations, the SSH procedure simultaneously subtracts and partially normalizes the abundance of target cDNA in the subtracted population. The clones are ligated into a vector, plated, picked, and sequenced. These genes are then available for analysis and further investigation by means of follow-on projects.

Google today announced a new service that makes the power of BigQuery, its analytics data warehouse, available in Sheets, its web-based spreadsheet tool. These so-called “connected sheets” face none of the usual limitations of Google’s regular spreadsheets, meaning there are no row limits, for example. Instead, users can take a massive data set from BigQuery, with potentially billions of rows, and turn it into a pivot table.
The idea here, is to enable virtually anybody to make use of all the data that is stored in BigQuery. That’s because from the user’s perspective, this new kind of table is simply a spreadsheet, with all of the usual functionality you’d expect from a spreadsheet. With this, Sheets becomes a front end for BigQuery — and virtually any business user knows how to use a spreadsheet.
This also means you can use all of the usual visualization tools in Sheets and share your data with others in your organization.
“Connected sheets are helping us democratize data,” says Nikunj Shanti, chief product officer at AirAsia. “Analysts and business users are able to create pivots or charts, leveraging their existing skills on massive data sets, without needing SQL. This direct access to the underlying data in BigQuery provides access to the most granular data available for analysis. It’s a game changer for AirAsia.”
The beta of connected sheets should go live within the next few months.
In this context, it’s worth mentioning that Google also today announced the beta launch of BigQuery BI Engine, a new service for business users that connects BigQuery with Google Data Studio for building interactive dashboards and reports. This service, too, is available in Google Data Studio today and will also become available through third-party services like Tableau and Looker in the next few months.
“With BigQuery BI Engine behind the scenes, we’re able to gain deep insights very quickly in Data Studio,” says Rolf Seegelken, senior data analyst at Zalando. “The performance of even our most computationally intensive dashboards has sped up to the point where response times are now less than a second. Nothing beats ‘instant’ in today’s age, to keep our teams engaged in the data!”

The 7-month-old Taste of Europe restaurant in the Coconut Creek Plaza is a classic case of good news/bad news.
As a positive thinker I always like to start with the good news: There`s enough in the food department to stretch the two stars into three. This really is a taste of Europe, due to the team of Milan and Stefan, a Czech-Hungarian duo with old country talents.
The $10.95 wienerschnitzel was sensational: generous in portion, perfectly breaded and made with veal. While probably not top-of-the-line Plum de Veau or Primi -- not at that price -- it could have passed for the premier product.
The $10.95 roast duck ``a la Bohemia`` was excellent, a boned half with a characteristic salty-caraway flavor. Only at the Bohemian restaurant, a postage stamp place at the Pompano Motor Lodge on A1A, have I had that fair fowl so well-prepared in such a style.
The accompanying broccoli bunches also were highly commendable: The Milan- Stefan team does not overcook; nor do they present their vegetables raw.
Also accompanying was a cup of soup of the night. On our night it was lentil, salty enough to be dismissed after the initial taste. It was uninspired.
The salads, also included with the selections we made, were also of little interest. They were served deli style with the shreds of iceberg lettuce practically overflowing the sides -- without benefit of plate underneath. They at least had the dressing delivered on the side, or rather, placed in the bowl on top of the lettuce.
A final important plus on the subject of the entrees concerns the temperature of the plates: They were not only warm, they were hot. Increasingly these days, that all-important necessity is becoming a rarity.
We started our evening with another hot plate, the container for the $3.95 escargot Bourguignonne. The dish was about average, as was the other starter, the platter of smoked Irish salmon for $2 more.
There`s a total of a dozen appetizers, six hot and six cold, as well as the soup of the night and, surprisingly for a restaurant featuring the tastes of Europe, Charleston she-crab soup.
The entree choice is in the just-won`t-quit category with no fewer than 46 to choose from. A diner at this restaurant has to order appetizers just to find the time to consider what`s to follow. Swordfish with hollandaise or Swiss cheese and capers? Lamb stew or Hungarian goulash, Danish ``Fricadelle`` meat cakes or bouillabaisse, shrimp stuffed with oysters or sauteed in garlic butter?
For the trenchermen in the crowd, there`s the $26.95 Transylvanian Mixed Grill for Two, a belt-buster with two each veal and lamb chops, and beef fillets along with salad, potato, a mass of mushrooms. Judging from the portions we were served, I`m sure that a family of four Transylvanians would find that order ample.
The mixed grill dish is another item in the good news department, along with the prices. The seven European specialties are pegged at $7.25 to $9.95; the two dozen seafood selections from $7.95 to $12.95 with 14 of them under $10. And from 4 to 6 nightly there are $8.95 early bird budget-pleasers, which include rolls and beverage, soup or salad, vegetable, potato, dessert and choice of 18 entrees.
So what about the bad news? In addition to salty soup and deli salads, the burgundy-mushroom Hunter`s sauce was a bore and the rice had been in the steamer far too long. We also resented the blaring radio with all the commercials blasting into our ears.
But with carnations on the table, with very much with-it service, with a better than average strudel, and nautical leftovers of previous owners, we tried to ignore it.

Shifts away from Islamism require grassroots, ground-up approaches to change.
The top-down approach to combating Islamic extremism is not working. Organizations such as Al-Qaeda and its affiliates, as well as Islamic State and Boko Haram, are enjoying a dangerous level of popularity. Cultural change cannot be forced upon a people; it must materialize from within. True and meaningful reform can only begin on the grassroots level. To defeat radical Islam, populism must succeed where war and espionage have failed.
Ayaan Hirsi Ali, author of "Heretic: Why Islam Needs a Reformation Now," argues that Mohammed was a creative genius who, upon his death, froze innovation in Islam forever.
"Islamic extremism is an assault on the ideas of liberalism, on the idea of innovation, on women, on gays, on tolerance, on civilization," says the author and social activist. She says if American cultural leaders like Ben Affleck can't see this, it's because they're not paying attention.
Political writer and social activist Ayaan Hirsi Ali responds to last year's spat between actor Ben Affleck and neuroscientist Sam Harris on Real Time with Bill Maher. Affleck, who became quite heated during the discussion, called Harris a bigot and racist when the latter criticized the Muslim world and Islamic doctrine. "Every criticism of the doctrine of Islam," said Harris, "gets conflated with bigotry toward Muslims as people." In evaluating that conversation, Ayaan Hirsi Ali sides with Harris: "Islamic extremism is an assault on the ideas of liberalism, on the idea of innovation, on women, on gays, on tolerance, on civilization." In her new book Heretic, she argues that Islam is in need of a major reformation.
God doesn’t answer back. That’s the problem. Humans can.
The narrative I live by is the humanist narrative that if we are looking for morality, if we’re looking for vices and virtues, we can find them both in humanity—in human creations, human culture, humanity’s endeavor to develop our reason or our emotions and not only relationships between humans, but with the animal world and our environment.
Ayaan Hirsi Ali is a Dutch-American feminist filmmaker and political writer. She is author of several books, the latest of which is Heretic: Why Islam Needs a Reformation Now. She is also founder of the AHA Foundation, a former fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, and a former member of the Dutch parliament.
Ali is a vocal critic of Islam whose writings often focus on the religion's subjugation of women. Her work is controversial and has resulted in numerous death threats. In 2004 Ayaan gained international attention following the murder of Theo van Gogh. Van Gogh had directed her short film Submission, a film about the oppression of women under Islam. The assassin left a death threat for her pinned to Van Gogh's chest. This tragic event, and Ayaan’s life leading up to it, are all chronicled in her best-selling book, Infidel.

Apple marked a turning point in the classic iPhone design with the release of the iPhone X. The design upgrades were so major from the iPhone 8 family, that Apple skipped iPhone 9 altogether. Like anything, the iPhone X certainly has its pros and cons. However, it is undeniably a smooth device both inside and out. Face ID cannot be understated and uses computer learning to adjust to your facial changes over time.


Few people realize how hard it is to get visibility in the self-publishing world. Heck, it’s difficult enough to get it in the traditionally published world. I’ve heard horror stories of authors finally getting their book published through traditional publishing for it to fall flat not because it was bad, but because the publisher’s didn’t bother spending more than twenty minutes marketing the book.
Why do I bring this up? I have something slightly controversial to say. Something that it seems most others disagree with and vehemently despise.
Amazon recently had a huge lawsuit against sellers on Fiverr.com for selling reviews for books in exchange for the sum of five dollars. Amazon claimed it was false advertising. I know some authors bought tons of reviews and readers were mislead into believing that sub par work was better than it actually was. But I’m here today with a small mic and a crowd of people who are likely to disagree to say that I can see why some authors resorted over the years to buying reviews. And I certainly don’t think that they have sold their soul in doing so as other claim. Or that they are bathing in a sea of dishonesty and shame.
Through Amazon, you don’t get visibility through high ratings. You them them by the number of reviews you have. Something can have three stars, but if it’s reviewed thousands of times, it will get exposure and visibility through the Amazon algorithm. Not fair, but that’s how it generally works. Some authors were buying tons of reviews (which I don’t agree with AT ALL), while others were buying maybe one, two, or three. Not many. Just a couple here or there.
Here’s the thing. To sell books, you have to have reviews. But in order to get reviews, you have to sell books. People have to know that you exist. So the logic for some is that if you buy a few reviews, when you run an ad your book will have at least some small form of credibility. Enough to get a small glimmer sunlight and a small hope of surviving in a sea of many books. Self-published and traditionally published. And giving away books for free (as I have learned) isn’t the answer. The amount of reviews I received when I had books on permafree vs the amount of downloads I gained was less than .01%. Yep. You read that one right.
People are complaining that having fake reviews gives room for false advertising and you are claiming something is better than it is (even thought these complainers often haven’t looked at the work in question). But here is my point. The starving artists of the world can’t always wait for readers to get wise. They deserve a fighting chance. To get others to even SEE your work (not buy it, but see it), it has to come with some small ounce of credibility in the form of reviews. I don’t see the real harm in giving a book a push by having purchased a review. I can see why some authors might do it. And I don’t think they have sold their soul to Satan for having done so.
No one is going to stay in a hotel that has no reviews. Or eat in a restaurant with no reviews. It doesn’t matter if they have giveaways or give out free meals or rooms to the homeless, they have to have some credit out there in the universe in order to have a fighting chance of being discovered. Some people complain about these companies putting up reviews for friends, each other, or for themselves. Unfortunately, I see the logic in doing so. To fight, you have to have a sword at hand. Many writers don’t even have access to a sword to fight the battle known as publishing. And many who say that those who buy a review are evil incarnate have either, a) already experienced a lot of success, or b) haven’t experienced abysmal sales that threaten to eat their souls with a spoon.
So that’s my take on the whole “buying reviews” drama out there right now. I see how it can be bad. I see how readers might think they are being mislead. And in many cases, they might be. But I also see from an author’s perspective how getting a review for an unknown book by whatever means possible can mean whether or not they eat dinner at night.
My take on the drama. That’s all.
:::hides from flying pitchforks:::
And no. I do not buy reviews. I give out ARCs. It took me a long time to learn that it was perfectly okay to ask people to read my book.


Why is Jackson's airport board, staff flying to Paris? 5 things to know
The Jackson airport board recently approved travel expenses for all five of its commissioners and five staff employees to take a 12-day business trip to the International Air Show in Paris.
Billed as an economic development opportunity, the trip was unanimously approved by the five Jackson Mississippi Airport Authority commissioners at a March 25 board meeting.
For more than a week, JMAA has not responded to repeated requests for additional information and documentation. Here are five things to know about the trip to Paris:
How much will the trip cost?
The Jackson Municipal Airport Authority's travel dates include five additional days besides the actual week of the air show, from June 14 to June 25, for a total 12 days.
Estimated expenses for the five staff members alone comes to about $27,000, according to the meeting minutes, although how much the trip will cost commissioners was not documented.
If their expenses are similar, and excluding any travel discounts, JMAA is looking at spending an estimated $45,000-$55,000 or more.
The Clarion Ledger has filed a public records request for all travel-related documentation for the upcoming trip — including travel itinerary and receipts.
Where is the money coming from to pay for the trip?
The Jackson Municipal Airport Authority is funded by airport revenue. Most of that is from passenger spending. The airport also receives federal grants for specific projects from the Federal Aviation Authority.
It is not clear what part of JMAA's budget is being used to fund the trip.
Are trips like the one to Paris common?
JMAA officials have attended the air show in the past; however, it's highly unusual for the entire board and additional staff members to attend.
None of the three surrounding airports contacted by the Clarion Ledger said they had similar travel plans.
- Memphis International Airport:
"We definitely don't have any plans to send anyone there this year and we haven't in the past," said Public Information Officer Glen Thomas.
"If someone does go on a trip of that magnitude, it's usually the board chair," he said.
- Shreveport Regional Airport:
Mark Crawford, the airport's public relations manager, said travel expenses at the Louisiana airport are generally related to a specific development proposal. He cited a trip in 2011 to the headquarters of United Airlines to add flights to Denver.
In that case, one official, the airport board's chairman, went on the business trip.
- Gulfport-Biloxi International airport:
An official with the Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport said no members of its governing body are traveling to this year's air show.
Why are they going?
Records from the March 25 meeting states the trip will be "extremely beneficial" to the authority, but does not say how.
Meeting minutes read that the air show "will offer a unique opportunity for engagement with all the economic, political, institutional and technological global aviation industry persons and entities in a single venue regarding aviation and economic development issues of importance to the JMAA."
JMAA commissioners traveling to the show are Lawanda D. Harris, Lee A. Bernard Jr., James Henley Jr., Robert Martin and Lucius Wright.
Staffers traveling to the show are JMAA's chief executive officer, chief operating officer, business development officer, public relations and customer service manager and director of capital programming.
The commissioners are nominated by the mayor of Jackson and confirmed by the City Council and serve a three-year term.
What others are saying about trip
- Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba
Lumumba on Monday lauded the goal of the airport board to pursue economic development opportunities, calling it "forward leaning," but also questioned the specifics of the trip.
"...not knowing what exactly will be presented at the Paris air show limits my ability to be critical and it limits my ability to be overly optimistic," he said.
- Jackson City Councilman Ashby Foote
Foote, one of seven council members responsible for confirming board member picks, in a previous story likened the trip to a "junket" or "boondoggle."
"They need to send us some postcards at least, maybe take some pictures of the shows they go to and the food they eat," he said. "I would just hope there'd be an after action report after a trip of this magnitude. I would hope that it means they've got something big lined up, but we'll see."

Reserve Bank keeps rates on hold
Reserve Bank governor Adrian Orr kept the official cash rate at 1.75 percent as widely expected. He said the central bank expects to keep it at this level into 2020, and pared back language around a possible rate cut.
"We will keep the OCR at an expansionary level for a considerable period to contribute to maximising sustainable employment, and maintaining low and stable inflation," Orr said announcing the monetary policy statement.
The New Zealand dollar fell to 67.80 US cents as at 9.15am versus 67.87 US cents just prior to the statement.
The press release did not include the line from the previous statement that the next move could be "up or down". However Orr did say "there are both upside and downside risks to our growth and inflation projections. As always, the timing and direction of any future OCR move remains data dependent."
The central bank's forecasts for where it expects the cash rate to be were unchanged. It still sees the OCR at 1.9 percent in September 2020 and a full-rate hike is still signaled by December 2020 when the benchmark rate is forecast to be 2 percent.
"Core consumer price inflation remains below our 2 percent target mid-point, necessitating continued supportive monetary policy," said Orr.
The Reserve Bank is charged with keeping annual inflation between 1 percent and 3 percent with a focus on the 2 percent mid-point, and with supporting maximum levels of sustainable employment within the economy. Official statistics yesterday showed unemployment at a decade-low 3.9 percent.
He noted that upside risks to the inflation outlook also exist.
"Higher fuel prices are boosting near-term headline inflation. We will look through this volatility as appropriate. Our projection assumes firms have limited pass through of higher costs into generalised consumer prices, and that longer-term inflation expectations remain anchored at our target," he said.
The central bank's forecasts now see annual inflation hitting the 2 percent target in December this year - largely due to impact of rising fuel prices - and remaining there for several quarters before dipping back down. It is firmly above 2.0 percent by June 2020 versus a prior forecast of March 2021.
The consumers' price index rose 0.9 percent in the three months ended Sept. 30 while annual inflation was 1.9 percent, according to government data.
All 15 economists polled by Bloomberg expected the OCR to remain on hold at a record low 1.75 percent today and the median of 11 expect rates to lift to 2 percent by the fourth quarter of 2019.
Regarding economic growth, Orr said GDP growth is expected to pick up over 2019 as monetary stimulus and population growth underpin household spending and business investment.
Government spending on infrastructure and housing also supports domestic demand.
"The level of the New Zealand dollar exchange rate will support export earnings," he said.
However, "downside risks to the growth outlook remain. Weak business sentiment could weigh on growth for longer. Trade tensions remain in some major economies, raising the risk that trade barriers increase and undermine global growth."

I tend to get on a salad kick with the arrival of warmer weather. This Cucumber Radish Salad in a homemade vinaigrette is so easy to make, healthy and delicious!
I love any kind of salads with cucumbers. I’m not a huge fan of radishes when eaten plain, but they’re so good in this salad with dill and a sweet and tart vinaigrette.
I’ve always thought radishes were such a beautiful vegetable! I’m just weird like that, always have been since I was a small child. My mama tells me I’d come home from school every day and explain to her in great detail about my lunch at school. Some of my classmates hated cafeteria food but I always loved it.
This salad is so easy to make… healthy deliciousness!

It really has been a long while since...I have been inspired by anything in design. Kelly Wearstler is the main gal who pushes boundaries and creates something oh so fresh, it always leaves me wanting more. Well, Jean-Louis Denio does that for me. I have seen a few shots of his work here and there but the other day I came across his Paris apartment and wow. With my recent infatuation with modern Parisian spaces, this sealed the deal for me, HE KILLED IT.
Not just your average black and white stripes, which for me are starting to grow a little tired. He tricked out his dining room in mixed metallic horizontal striped wallpaper. Yes! Ah, I just love it. Then in one bathroom, he pushed the envelope with a diagonal greige theme...my goodness, its good!
Now, please don't think I am cheating on New York or the rest of country, I love my home. I just find it incredibly intoxication to find inspiration from forward thinking, especially in design. This guy has really rocked my world. You wouldn't think it but this apartment is actually really small. So these photos really show how great design can trick the eye. This is some solid design skill. Love.

The banner background is red/purple with a blue square on top of which is a pale blue belt or garter with the lodge name from which hangs a small keystone. Within this is the lodge number and two crossed quills which seems to be the international symbol of a secretary, or perhaps more likely, a scholar in this context.

AceShowbiz - Tom Hanks improvised onstage for 20 minutes after an audience member collapsed.
The Oscar-winning actor is playing Sir John Falstaff in a production of William Shakespeare's Henry IV at the Japanese Garden on the West Los Angeles Veterans Administration campus, and he sprang into action during the medical emergency earlier this week, beg June 11.
The show came to a halt after the theatregoer passed out, according to the Orange County Register.
And when the crowd became restless while waiting for the play to resume, Hanks took it upon himself to entertain the audience while the show's crew, who are made up of military veterans with medical training, and later the paramedics, were treating the audience member.
In a video shared by the Shakespeare Center of Los Angeles, who put on the production, the 61-year-old can be seen staying in character during the incident, and even brought a woman up onstage to join him during his ad-libbing.
"No intermission brew for you!" Hanks bellowed, while also calling out "scurvy rogues" at those who attempted to leave their seats.
"An insult to all actors and to Shakespeare himself," he said while in costume as the fat knight Falstaff.
He also jokingly warned the still seated audience members: "Get back here or find this sword and many a dagger placed neatly in the tires of your carriage".
Hanks then called out to one woman in the audience, urging her to "give me back my costume".
The unnamed audience member regained consciousness and was later released from the hospital.
Heath Harper, Hanks' theatrical dialect coach, told Variety he started filming as soon as Hanks began his impressive improv.
"I've never seen anything like it," he said. "It credits the work we've done and Tom's commitment to the character that he was able to just jump on the stage and improv as Falstaff like that. The audience absolutely ate it up and loved every minute".

Linking up to the Handmade Halloween Costume Contest.
Two years ago my oldest daughter decided she wanted to be Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz for Halloween. Great. Little Man was only 1 so too young to have much of an opinion so I got him a monkey costume from Old Navy - love those two piece fleece ones.
Ok, then for the challenge - Little Hugger decided she wanted to be a tornado. What??? How the hell am I going to pull that off? I kept hoping she would change her mind, but she didn't so after a few trips to different fabric stores and phone calls to my Mom for guidance, here is our tornado.....
The fabric was something I lucked out finding at a fabric store - Hancock I think. I bent a couple of dry cleaning hangers to rest on her shoulders and hold the fabric up. Then we tied on various farm animals, equipment and even a little barn to look like they were swept up on the tornado. I found gray turtleneck onesie and gray tights for her to wear underneath and we messed up her hair to look more windswept.
She loved it and certainly got lots of points for originality when trick or treating. Oh and just to complete the theme, I sewed some wings on Little Man's monkey costume, so he became a flying monkey.

Before the first official pre-season test gets underway at Donington Park in the UK, NEXTEV announced its driver line-up and presented the new livery for the 2016/17 season.
The team revealed that Nelson Piquet Jr and Oliver Turvey will stay with the team. Both drivers extended their relationship on a multi-season agreement. “I am happy to be continuing to race with the team that I won the world championship with, and we are looking forward to being able to fight for victories again next season. With NextEV fully committed to the Formula E programme, I believe that the team has a very strong long-term future”, said Piquet Jr.
It was at the season finale in the series’ maiden year that Turvey made his first appearance for the squad, impressing on his Formula E debut with two points finishes on the narrow Battersea street circuit. He subsequently joined Piquet Jr for a full season in 2015/16. Now, Turvey is also excited to continue his journey with the team. “I learnt a lot in my first full season and have taken this experience into the summer testing to work with the team on developing the new car. The team and I have similarly high ambitions for the season ahead and we will work hard together to achieve them”, explained Turvey.
Adding further strength to the outfit, the NextEV Formula E team has appointed a number of new members this season. Gerry Hughes remains Chief Race Engineer and is joined by Paul Fickers as Chief Technical Officer (who was previously Head of Vehicle Testing at Fiat Group Automobiles and has held senior positions at Ferrari and Maserati), and Barry Mortimer as Team Manager (who joins from Team Aguri). A carefully selected line-up of experienced engineers, technicians, mechanics and support staff also join the team, with some familiar faces from the first two seasons remaining. Reflecting NextEV’s global set-up, the Formula E team comprises members from the UK, China, Brazil, Italy, France and Germany.
The 2016/17 challenger will continue to run the popular teal and grey colour scheme in a fresh design for the upcoming season, which also features flashes of the national flags of the respective drivers. The NextEV Formula E Team’s new 2016/17 car has successfully completed 14 full days of private testing at the tight and twisty Calafat Circuit in Spain. Testing has focused on the development of the all-new NextEV 700R powertrain and set-up programmes for the season’s challenging street circuits, with the development car in the hands of Piquet Jr, Turvey and Ben Hanley.
Following this week’s official test, the NextEV Formula E team will return to Donington Park for the second, and final, official pre-season test on 5-7 September 2016. The 2016/17 FIA Formula E Championship will get underway on 9 October 2016, with the series’ first visit to Hong Kong.

MAZAR-I-SHARIF, Afghanistan – Two soldiers were killed and nine were wounded on Monday after a suicide bomber on a motorcycle hit a bus carrying soldiers and civilian employees, said Afghan Defense Ministry spokesman General Zahir Azim.
He said a man on a motorcycle approached the bus, which was driving past Kabul’s 16th district, and detonated the bomb.
“Two soldiers lost their lives in the attack organized by the Taliban and nine soldiers were wounded and are being treated at the hospital,” said General Azim.
Kabul Police Department spokesman Hasmatullah Estanikzey said the Taliban did not have the strength to fight with Afghan security forces and therefore had resorted to scaring people by organizing such attacks.
Afghan President Hamid Karzai condemned the attack as being against both Islam and humanity in a statement.

In international relations today, dialogue is the right way for settling issues and building trust, Wang said, adding that favoring dialogue over confrontation is not only China's position but also the consensus of the overwhelming majority of countries.
Therefore, the Chinese side has decided to suspend the HKSAR's SFO agreement with Germany and shelve the one with France, Zhao said. Enditem
Whenever it seeks to contain China's increasing tech influence or defend the U.S. industry from competition, the present U.S. administration has cited national security concerns without concrete evidence, unscrupulously putting any competitor or challenger into the crosshairs for punishment like a fine, ban or sanction.
This year marks the 45th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Fiji.
"The Chinese government and Chinese people empathize and stand firmly with the Ghanaian people as the pandemic rages on the African continent," he said.
According to the police, six of the 10 suspects were arrested on suspicion of collusion with foreign forces or external elements to endanger national security, and some others were suspected of conspiracy to commit fraud.
BEIJING, Aug. 5 (Xinhua) -- Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Wednesday spoke of the need to put in place a clear-cut framework for China-U.S. relations amid the most complex situation since the establishment of the bilateral diplomatic relations in 1979.
Their purpose is notably obvious, which is to contain and destabilize China, Wang said.
Collin Yabaki, director of Fiji's Heritage and Arts Department, told Xinhua on the sideline of the visit to the National Archives of Fiji by Chinese Ambassador Qian Bo that cultural exchange is a bridge and one of the best ways to help the two countries and peoples deepen their mutual understanding and enhance the friendly cooperative ties.
While the two countries are quite different in social system and many other aspects, such differences have not affected bilateral peaceful coexistence and cooperation, said Wang.
The U.S. purpose is to destabilize the South China Sea, and hijack regional countries onto its chariot to serve U.S. domestic politics and geopolitical agenda, Wang noted, urging all regional countries to be vigilant, and prevent this region's hard-won peace and development from being sabotaged by the United States.


At the ‘Scary Fast’ Apple event on Halloween eve, Apple unveiled its latest innovations, introducing the M3 chipsets alongside new MacBook Pro models and a 24-inch iMac. Manufactured on TSMC’s 3nm process, these chipsets boast a potential performance increase of up to 60% in select applications.
These powerful processors are designed to elevate the performance and user experience across the MacBook Pro models. However, a critical examination is warranted to determine whether the M3 chipsets live up to Apple’s claims and justify an upgrade from existing MacBooks equipped with M1 and M2 chipsets. In this article, we will delve into the key differences and improvements offered by the Apple M3 chips compared to its predecessor, M2 chips.
Apple M3 vs M2 Comparison
1. Apple M3 vs M2: Pricing and Availability
Currently, the M3 chipset is exclusively featured in two devices: the 24-inch iMac (Starting from ₹1,34,900) and the 14-inch MacBook Pro (Starting from ₹1,69,900). Notably, the 14-inch MacBook Pro, equipped with the M3 chipset, is set to replace the 13-inch MacBook Pro featuring the M2 chipset.
Apple typically adopts a phased approach when introducing new chips, refraining from an immediate across-the-board update for its entire Mac lineup. Nevertheless, there is anticipation that the M3 chipset will gradually extend its presence across the company’s diverse product range.
Apple also introduced a new Space Black colour for the MacBook Pros, which is exclusive to M3 Pro and M3 Max MacBook and not available on the Base Model M3 MacBook Pro. It is worth noting that Apple continues to offer devices featuring the M2 chipset, including the 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air, the Mac mini, and other models.
2. Apple M3 vs M2: CPU: Incremental Upgrades
The Apple M3 has undergone notable architectural enhancements this year, adopting TSMC’s 3nm process node, similar to the Apple A17 Pro. Consequently, the base Apple M3 chipset incorporates approximately 25 billion transistors, the M3 Pro boasts 37 billion transistors, and the M3 Max impressively integrates 92 billion transistors.
In terms of CPU configuration, the base M3 chip features 8 CPU cores, the M3 Pro incorporates 11 or 12 CPU cores, and the M3 Max offers an option of up to 14 or 16 CPU cores. The M3 family introduces advanced high-performance and efficient cores, with Apple asserting that the high-performance core on the M3 chipset is 15% faster than the M2’s equivalent, and the efficiency core on the M3 achieves a 30% improvement over the M2’s efficiency cores.
Noteworthy is the restructuring of the CPU cluster in the M3 Pro, deviating from the 8P+4E configuration in the M2 Pro to an equal 6P+6E core distribution.
The base M3 chip, with 8 CPU cores, adopts a 4P+4E cluster design, while the M3 Max, featuring 16 cores, employs a 12P+4E cluster design. Consequently, in multi-threaded workloads, the Apple M3 demonstrates a modest upgrade over the M2. During the presentation, Apple predominantly compared the M3 with its three-year-old M1 chipset, neglecting to highlight the M3’s performance relative to the M2.
In the previous M2 launch, Apple asserted an 18% improvement over the M1. Now, the claim is that the M3 can deliver a 35% enhancement in performance over the M1 at peak power, translating to a CPU performance approximately 17% superior to the M2. Notably, Apple concluded that the 8-core CPU on the M3 is up to 20% faster than the M2.
The efficacy of the CPU upgrade on the Apple M3 is contingent on the chosen variant and its core cluster design, with performance outcomes being significantly influenced by this factor. In summary, while the CPU upgrade on the Apple M3 is commendable, particularly for those transitioning from the M1, its improvement over the M2 is moderate at best.
Apple seems to have reduced the memory bandwidth for the base models and mid-tier models to 150 GBPS for M3 Pro (compared to 200 GBPS for M2 Pro) and 300 GBPS for M3 Max (compared to 200 GBPS for M2 Max). The Apple M3 now comes with a slick 128GB Unified memory option. With the M2 Max, we were living in the memory lane with a 96GB limit. If you wanted to go big, you had to roll with the M2 Ultra to snag that sweet 192GB.
3. Apple M3 vs M2: GPU: A Big Leap Forward
Alright, buckle up, folks! We’ve got some serious GPU gossip about the Apple M3, and let me tell you, it’s like they’ve sprinkled some magic tech dust on it or something.
So, the Apple M3 is strutting its stuff with a 10-core GPU, and if that’s not enough for you, the M3 Max goes all the way up to 40 GPU cores. With the M3 lineup there are – 10 cores for the standard, 14 and 18 for the Pro, and a whopping 30 and 40 for the Max. It’s like they’re saying, “You get a GPU core, and you get a GPU core – everybody gets a GPU core”
Now, let’s talk features. Brace yourself for some serious gaming vibes because the M3 supports hardware-accelerated Ray Tracing. That means gaming on Mac is going to be a thing. And if you’re into complex geometric designs, the M3 has got your back with Hardware-accelerated Mesh shading. Because of this, rendering visual scenes in graphics-heavy games is going to be bliss.
The real star of the show is actually “Dynamic Caching”. This lets the M3 flex its muscles by allocating system-level memory in real-time. Resulting major boost in performance.
The M3’s 10-core GPU is giving the M2 a run for its money, claiming to be 20% faster. The M3 Pro’s 18-core GPU has also got a 10% speed boost over the M2 Pro. And if you’re planning for the M3 Max with its 40-core GPU, you can expect 20% performance raise over the M2 Max. In the grand scheme of things Apple’s claiming, the M3’s GPU is strutting its stuff with a 10-20% improvement over M2, and a whopping 65% better performance compared to the OG M1 GPU.
Also interestingly, The M3 GPU matches the performance of the M1 GPU at half the power. It’s like having killer performance while draining half of the battery percentages.
4. Neural Engine and Media Engine: Custom Engines for AI and Video
Apple has given the Neural Engine on the M3 a turbo boost – it’s strutting around 15% faster than its M2 counterpart still rolling with the trusty 16 cores, keeping it classy.
Against the M1, the M3’s Neural Engine has got a 60% speed increase. Picture it like the M3 wearing a cape, zooming past the M1 like, “Catch me if you can!” But when it comes to the M2, it’s like they’re in a friendly race, almost neck and neck.
The Media Engine has got AV1 decoding support. Now you can stream those AV1-encoded videos on platforms like Twitch and YouTube, and it might even give your battery a little boost. And yes the H.264, HEVC, ProRes, and ProRes RAW video codecs are still on the list.

Israel's hotel workers may want to start brushing up on their Russian. After months of predicting that it can double or even triple the number of Russian visitors to the country within the next few years, the Tourism Ministry announced last week that it's putting its money where its mouth is, nearly tripling the money it will spend on promoting visits to Israel from Russia next year.
The announcement followed a highly successful performance at the 13th annual Moscow Winter Tourism Fair, where Israel's representatives reported a significant growth in interest following the cabinet's decision to cancel the visa requirement for Russian visitors.
The Tourism Ministry will try to cash in on the added interest with a $3 million marketing campaign set for next year, up from the $1.2m. it allocated in 2007. Next year's efforts will make use of similar tools - mostly billboards and advertisements in newspapers, magazines and on-line. The ads proved a winning strategy in 2007, with tourism from Russia up 90 percent between January and August over a year earlier to just under 94,000 visits, including a jaw-dropping 394% rise between August 2006 and the same month this year. Russia is already the fourth largest provider of tourists to Israel, the ministry notes, and appears likely to grow in importance over the coming years.
The Tourism Ministry predicts the cancellation of the visa requirement will facilitate the arrival of an additional 200,000 Russian visitors by 2009, which would add $200m. and 8,000 jobs to the economy. And there would, it appears, be room for growth even after the arrival of the extra visitors, with ministry officials noting that Egypt and Turkey each attract roughly one million visitors from the former Soviet Union each year.
Though the visa cancellation has received the support of the cabinet, the issue is not permanently closed, and may be revisited even as the number of Russian visitors goes up. Early resistance to the visa cancellation centered on the increase it could cause in organized crime and the trafficking of women in Israel, concerns cited by the Public Security Ministry in its initial opposition to the policy change. (Public Security Minister Avi Dichter eventually voted in favor of the change, following consultations with Tourism Minister Yitzhak Aharonovich.) The government last week drafted a new plan to combat the trafficking of women, and Justice Ministry official Rochelle Gershuni identified the cancellation of the visa requirement as a potential obstacle in the fight, Haaretz reported on Friday.
Delta delivering more North American tourists
Delta Airlines officials are feeling better than ever these days about the company's decision to become the first American carrier to offer regular flights between Tel Aviv and two US cities.
The company reports the successful delivery 15,397 travelers between Atlanta and Israel in August, up 31% from the same month the previous year. The increase makes Delta just one of a number of airlines to enjoy added business over the record-breaking summer travel season, but is especially significant for the airline due to its plans to start non-stop service between Ben-Gurion Airport and New York City in March. Delta flights to and from Israel, 84% full on average between January and August 2007, reached 93% of capacity in August.
Flight and vacation prices expected to fall
The end of the holiday travel season is expected to bring a 10% drop in prices for flights and vacation packages, the Issta Travel Agency reports. With most Israelis back at work and school, airlines and travel wholesalers are being forced to bring prices down, and Issta, likes its competitors, is trumpeting the news as a reason for Israelis to keep traveling.
Tel Aviv to host ski fair
With perhaps a month of beach weather remaining, Israeli skiers are already turning their attention to the coming winter. More than 6,000 ski and snowboard enthusiasts are expected to attend the fifth annual Ski Fair at the Tel Aviv Fairgrounds on Tuesday, with organizers noting a 30% increase in winter sports travel among Israelis over the last several years.
Around 40,000 Israelis now travel abroad each winter to ski or snowboard, spending $40m. - including flights and hotel stays - as they do. Israeli ski fans named the usual suspects in a recent poll about their preferred skiing and snowboarding spots, identifying France, Italy and Austria. (The domestic skiing option, Mount Hermon, came in fourth on the list.) While Israel remains a small market, European travel wholesalers have taken notice of the country's increased participation in winter sports travel, and Tuesday's fair will include tourism industry representatives and even embassy staff from the Czech Republic, Austria and Romania.
Entry to the fair, which runs between 4:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m., costs NIS 25.

American Academy of Pediatrics are failing America’s families
Pushing “Gender-affirming Care” Risks Health of Children
Washington, D.C. – As the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) meets this weekend in Anaheim, California for its annual convention, Concerned Women for America (CWA), the nation’s largest women’s public policy organization representing women and families of all ages across every state in America, blasts AAP leadership for pushing radical experimental “gender-affirming” practices.
In a letter sent to the AAP’s President and President-elect, Concerned Women for America CEO and President Penny Nance questions its practices amid controversy over a resolution from member pediatricians demanding the AAP review research standards of treating children questioning their identity.
“Under your leadership, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) is failing children, adolescents, parents, and families,” reads the letter. “Your disregard for the mental, emotional, and physical harm of gender ideology being forced on children is evidenced by the alarming trend in so-called ‘gender affirming care.’ Pediatricians are trusted physicians for parents of a newborn child. Like any mother and father, they should know that babies are fully formed male or female humans, not ‘born in the wrong body.’ Any case of an intersex condition or disorder of sexual development is exceedingly rare.
“As doctors sworn to do no harm, it is tragic that you are on the side of defending harm to children. Your organization promotes the use of unapproved puberty-blocking drugs to slow the normal healthy development of a children’s body, bones, and brain for “gender exploration. These drugs have not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration who has warned of serious side effects, including swelling of the brain, vision loss, and suicide ideation.
“Pediatricians should know that natural maturation is a critical part of a child’s health and well-being. Doctors who understand normal childhood development should know it is better allow children to grow up with a healthy body intact, not mutilate a child’s body to conform to his or her developing mind – which is not fully developed until after the pediatric years,” the letter reads.
Most alarming, the American Academy of Pediatrics is failing to allow any rigorous challenge to today’s destructive prevailing orthodoxy about so-called “gender affirming care.”
Nance’s letter cites the hypocrisy of AAP President Dr. Moira Szilagyi’s claim in The Wall Street Journal that “It doesn’t push medical treatments or surgery; for the vast majority of children, it recommends the opposite.” A Reuters special report has revealed a skyrocketing rise in use of puberty blockers and hormones, as well as mutilating surgeries. From 2019-21, 776 double mastectomies were performed on 13–17-year-old girls under the banner of “gender affirming care.”
Concerned Women for America is the Nation’s largest public policy organization for women; we are dedicated to promoting Biblical values and Constitutional principles. More information is available at ConcernedWomen.org

Philadelphia Union have acquired central defender Austin Berry from the Chicago Fire in exchange for allocation money, the club announced today. Berry, the 2012 MLS Rookie of the Year, joins the Union after making 62 appearances for Chicago during the previous two years. Per MLS and club policy, exact terms of the deal were not disclosed.
“Austin is a talented central defender that will add quality to our back line,” team manager John Hackworth said. “He already has a lot of MLS experience and we think he is the right fit to help strengthen our central defense. We’re happy to have a player of his caliber and look forward to him joining the team.”
Berry, 25, has been an anchor for the Chicago Fire defense during the past two years, where he made over 60 appearances after being drafted ninth overall in the 2012 MLS SuperDraft. He started in 28 games during his rookie campaign, making his debut May 4 against Chivas USA, where he scored in the 25th minute. With his goal, Berry became only the third Chicago Fire player to score in his debut. He notched a total of three goals in 2012 and logged over 2,500 minutes en route to being named the 2012 MLS Rookie of the Year. He added to his experience the following year, where Berry started all of Chicago’s 34 MLS matches and played every minute of the year, helping Chicago boast the fifth best goals against average (1.22) in the League.
A native of Cincinnati, Ohio, Berry attended the University of Louisville from 2007-2011. He played in 94 games during his time as a Cardinal, where he was a two-time NSCAA All American player (2010, 2011). Berry was also a three-time All-Big East Team member (2008, 2010, 2011) and earned Big East Defender of the year honors as a Junior (2010).
Berry will join the Union this week for preseason training in Deltona, Fla.
The Union begin their 2014 MLS campaign on the road at Providence Park against the Portland Timbers on March 8 (10:30 p.m. ET, CSN), with the home opener at PPL Park played March 15 against the New England Revolution (4 p.m. ET, CSN), presented by Farmers Insurance.
