Debt owed to Eskom growing at R1bn a month
Cape Town - Public Enterprises acting director general Thuto Shomang said Eskom's current debt stands at R435 billion, which represented 15% of South Africa's sovereign debt.
"Default is threatening the economy," Shomang said while briefing the public enterprises portfolio committee on Wednesday.
Shomang also said cash generated by the entity did not cover operating and servicing costs.
He said the escalation of municipal and Soweto debt totalling R28 billion was growing at R1 billion a month.
"The number of employees increased from 32 000 in 2007 to 48 000 in 2018 with associated costs growing from R9.5 billion to R29.5 billion over the period," Shomang said.
Shomang also said Eskom was struggling to maintain operational sustainability with its ageing generation fleet on average about 37 years.
There has been no implementation of essential mid-life refurbishments and the poor quality of maintenance due to poor workmanship with at least 40% of plant breakdowns due to human errors, he said.
Shomang also said there wwere also on-going coal shortages due to poor management and lack of investment in cost plus mines, as well as significant loss of critical skills and low staff morale.
He also told the MPs that Medupi and Kusile plants have suffered massive delays and cost overruns due to poor planning, poor engineering designs, poor procurement practices and corruption.
"The costs for the plants have escalated significantly to over R300 billion; Medupi from R24.9 billion to R145 billion and Kusile from R80.7 billion to R161.4 billion," Shomang said.
He also said Eskom has experienced systematic corruption, malfeasance and fraud. He added that state capture has compromised the credibility of the organisation and eroded investor confidence.
"The resultant effect of these corrupt transaction is the pass-through to the consumer and the shareholder."
Earlier Shomang said Eskom is technically insolvent and at the current rate it will have problems beyond April to fulfil its objectives
He told the parliamentarians that Eskom needed to find a new business model in line with President Cyril Ramaphosa's announcement last week.
Ramaphosa had announced in his State of the Nation Address that Eskom would be unbundled into three entities that will be responsible for generation, transmission and distribution.

Child Reported Unharmed After Amber Alert Issued from Carjacking in Newark, NJ
October 31, 2023
Newark Public Safety Director Fritz Fragé reported today that the police responded to a carjacking incident on Wilson Avenue in Newark, New Jersey. The incident involved a vehicle that was stolen with a 3-year-old child left inside. At approximately 9:55 a.m., an Amber Alert was issued to notify the public about the abduction. Fortunately, at around 10:30 a.m., the police located the vehicle in Jersey City with the child inside, unharmed. The investigation into this incident is ongoing, and no further information is available at this time.
An Amber Alert was issued in Newark, New Jersey, for the abduction of 3-year-old Pedro Dasilva. The child was last seen wearing a red hooded sweatshirt and gray pants. The suspect, described as a black male, was wearing a black Northface jacket, black pants, and white sneakers. The suspect vehicle is a Silver Hynda Sonata with New Jersey registration number S27SLD. If anyone happens to see the vehicle, they are urged to notify the police immediately by calling 9-1-1.

A warm welcome to our new partner Crystal Flow, which now also joins our fight against deadly ghost nets and donates to Healthy Seas 1% after every purchase.
Crystal Flow designs are inspired by nature – Caribbean beaches, wild waterfalls and rugged coastlines of Europe and North America. The sportswear designs are made with 100% regenerated material, ECONYL® yarn, and manufactured ethically in Europe. But Crystal Flow is more than just sustainability, it is an adventurous, nautical lifestyle.
“I have always been fascinated by the sea. Its strength, power and also perfect calmness at other times. It gives me energy, inspiration and peace all at once. After living on a Caribbean island, I really understood the importance and magic of the ocean & its sea life. To be able to combine my work and help to protect what I love just feels fulfilling and simply makes me happy. This is how ‘Crystal Flow- out of the ocean’ was born.” said Birgitta Tafelmeier, Founder of Crystal Flow.
The fishnets collected by Healthy Seas divers and fishermen are brought into the ECONYL® regeneration system, in which they are transformed into new, high-quality yarn. Healthy Seas is an open initiative which developed learning-by-doing. We are open to creative ideas and new partners.

Lately I’ve had an obsession with high-waisted jorts (blue jean shorts for any of you who need a quick Urban Dictionary update). Studded Jorts. Neon Jorts. Ripped jorts. Lacy jorts. Bleached jorts. So, why not order some lovely vintage high-waisted jorts from Urban Outfitters you ask? Well...my way is a lot cheaper! Fortunately, a trip to Goodwill and a few hours with scissors is all you need.
Ultra Distressed High-Waisted Jorts
DIY High-Waisted Lacy Jorts
Old Pair of Blue Jeans
A Sharpie or Pen
Lace Fabric (or old lace shirt)
Bright Construction Paper
Needle and Thread (or a friend who can loan 10 minutes of their sewing abilities)
Naturally, this project begins at the thrift store closest to you (or your closet…if you tend to be a compulsive hoarder and rocked some cool Levi’s at some point in your past). Make a beeline for the women’s jeans isle and pick up every pair that looks anything like your size. You’ll probably find faded tags and incorrect sizing, so it helps to eyeball every pair. Haul your load of blue jeans to the dressing room and try those bad boys on. Take a friend with you, because I promise they won’t want to miss out on the 90’s fashion show. I found that the best fit for making these jorts is snug in the waist but roomier in the thighs. You don’t want them suction-cupped to your legs after the cut. I made it out of Goodwill with two pair of jeans ($5 each).
The next step is fairly obvious- snip, snip, snip! Always start with a safe, longer cut, and try them on first. Then, you can really put your scissors to work and trim a little higher. It’s helpful to use a pen or Sharpie to mark where you want to make your cut while the shorts are still on. I found that I like the front of the shorts trimmed a little higher than the back. Continuing to try them on throughout the cutting process will help you find your exact cut.
When you have them where you want them, throw them in the washing machine! The washing machine will start the fraying process and drying them will top it off.
Now for the lace. You can use whatever fabric you’d like. Personally, I picked up an XL lace top at Goodwill and trimmed it up, but you can use whatever you have handy. You’ll start by taking a piece of brightly colored construction paper and placing it on the back of your shorts. Press the paper on the shorts where you can feel the hem of the pocket and trace the pocket onto your paper. It can be a rough trace. Next, cut out your pocket pattern. Now it’s time to stretch your lace fabric out on the floor. Place your construction paper pocket on the fabric, and pin the paper to the fabric. Now cut around the pattern leaving a liiiittle extra fabric. You want your actual piece of fabric to be a bit bigger than the construction paper pattern to make the sewing easier.
Use your pattern twice to make 2 beautiful lace pockets, and it’s time to sew! Like I mentioned in the beginning- a friend’s help is totally allowed at this point :). Sewing isn’t my forte so- I’ll admit- I called on a friend for this one! BUT if you have any of knowledge of sewing, apparently this is a very easy stitch. Since you cut your fabric a little larger than the pocket, you can fold the edges of the lace under at the edges of the pocket, making a nice lace hem. The sewing machine can be used for the sides and bottom of the pocket, but you’ll probably want to hand-stitch the top so your pocket isn’t sewn shut!
And viola! A $5 pair of vintage (and literally vintage- who knows who owned those lovely Goodwill jeans!) high-waisted lacy jorts! Enjoy!
Ultra Distressed High-Waisted Jorts
As for the other pair, you’ll need:
A lighter wash of old blue jeans
A small, sharp knife
The beginning process for these is the same as for the first ones. Trim away until you’ve found your ideal length. Next, take your knife and fray the edges you’ve cut. This will help them to fringe even more in the washer. Now use the knife and sand paper to roughen the edges of the pockets. Then rub your knife in any particular spots where you wish to have a distressed hole. Using the edge of the knife, repeatedly rub the same spot until fraying begins to occur. This is where you can have some fun- make the hole as big or as small as you want. I even used a vegetable peeler to help make the holes- whatever tools you can find! Then, time to wash and dry. You can even throw a little bleach in the washer for a bleached look. Pull them out of the dryer and voila! Ultra distressed high-waisted shorts!
Although I don’t think I would confidently rock this look around Knoxville, the bandeau can be substituted for a cute swimsuit top for a pool/beach day!
Until next time!

‘Nobody expected anything from doubles 2 years back…’: Satwik and Chirag talk about Olympics dream at HTLS 2023
Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty vow to win a historic Olympics medal in badminton doubles.
India's top badminton men's doubles players, Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty are relieved that there is a sense of expectation whenever they step foot on the court. The weight of expectations, to them, is nothing but an added motivation. It not only egg them to do better but also tells them that badminton doubles is growing in India, a country traditionally known for its singles shuttlers. While speaking at the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit (HTLS 2023), Chirag and Rankireddy said they would manage the pressure of the Paris Olympics similarly.
"Expectations have always been there. We need to look at it positively. A couple of years back nobody expected anything from doubles. So now it's a very positive thing for us that people expect us to win. We want to give our best shot and come back with a medal (at the Paris Olympics)," Chirag told Kunal Pradhan, Managing Editor, Hindustan Times, at the HTLS 2023 on Saturday.
Satwik said nothing much will change as far as their preparation for the Olympics is concerned. "We have a magician behind us, Gopi sir (Pulela Gopichand). He and the other coaches know what to do. They plan our practice schedules. They tell us not to take pressure. Our main opponents are our bodies. We have a tendency to get injuries at the wrong time. We need to stay fit. That's the biggest thing before the Paris Olympics," he said.
India have returned with a medal in the last three editions of the Olympics. But they were all in women's singles - Saina Nehwal won India's maiden Olynmpis medal with a bronze at the London Games in 2012 then PV Sindhu got silver medals in the Rio Games in 2016 and also in the Tokyo Games in 2020. With Saina done and Sindhu way past her best, the chances of a medal in women's singles are less.
India do have the likes of HR Prannoy, Kidambi Srikanth and Lakshya Sen in the men's singles but the best bet for a podium finish at the Paris Games next year is Chirag and Satwik in the men's doubles. From not having much hope of winning the doubles matches in team events to be one of the top medal contenders in the men's doubles, there has been a sea change in the landscape in Indian badminton and Satwik and Chirag have been the flagbearers of this.
"We've always been a country with a lot of singles players - Prakash sir, Gopi sir, Saina, Sindhu, Prannoy, Srikanth, Lakshay there have been so many good players. But we haven't had that many people picking up doubles and been. Jwala (Gutta) and Ashwini (Ponappa) were good," said.
"I always heard India doesn't have doubles players. India used to lose during team events because we didn't have strong doubles players. That's what my motto was. I wanted to change that," said Satwik.
Chirag and Satwik have had an unbelievable run this year. They started by winning the Swiss Open in Basel in March – their first title since clinching the French Open in October 2022. They continued their momentum next month when they became the first Indians in 58 years to win the Badminton Asia Championships. Dinesh Khanna was the first Indian to win the continental tournament way back in 1965 before Rankireddy and Shetty claimed the prestigious trophy in Dubai.
After a quiet May, the reigning Commonwealth Games champions were back winning in June when they clinched the Indonesia Open crown to stake claim to another first. Rankireddy and Shetty had become the first Indians to win a Super 1000 tournament – the most elite competition on the BWF World Tour – to also become the first Indians to win at all levels of the World Tour.

- Where are the bulk of Housing New Zealand's new property developments?
- Does Housing New Zealand sell properties?
- How are older state houses kept in good condition?
- How much money does Housing New Zealand spend on maintenance of its homes each year?

Does Housing New Zealand build all its own houses?
Not necessarily. We increase our number of properties through build, buy, lease and redevelopment programmes. Where we do build new housing, we may work with contract suppliers like property developers, designers and builders.
Where are the bulk of Housing New Zealand's new property developments?
In Auckland, as that area has the highest population growth and the greatest need for housing. Over 50 percent of Housing New Zealand's waiting list is in the greater Auckland region.
Does Housing New Zealand sell properties?
As part of its day-to-day business Housing New Zealand will sell properties that no longer meet it's needs.
Properties may be sold for a variety of reasons, including the property being old and too expensive to maintain, no longer meeting customer needs, not performing financially, or it not being in the right place to meet demand.
When Housing New Zealand sells houses that money is reinvested to reconfigure the balance of the housing portfolio through redevelopment of existing property, or buying or leasing more of the right types of houses where they are needed to meet demand. For example we need more two and four bedroom properties and less three bedroom properties.
The selling of houses that no longer meet Housing New Zealand's needs will continue as the portfolio is reconfigured to provide the right houses, in the right locations to meet demand. This will also include better utilisation of the land owned by Housing New Zealand and reducing the concentration of state housing in some areas to improve community outcomes.
How are older state houses kept in good condition?
Housing New Zealand has a number of programmes to ensure that its properties are kept in good condition. We have a long term programme to modernise houses built prior to 1980 and a programme to provide energy efficient features to homes built prior to 1978.Energy efficiency work involves installing or improving ceiling insulation, hot water cylinder wraps, under floor insulation and draught stopping, where as modernisation includes updating amenity levels for example kitchens, bathrooms and heating.
How much money does Housing New Zealand spend on maintenance of its homes each year?
Overall, we spend over $160 million on maintaining the state housing portfolio, which includes about 66,000 state houses including about 1,500 community group houses, and over $60 million on other property improvements.
How does Housing New Zealand monitor the quality of any maintenance work?
Housing New Zealand's Maintenance Contracts require high quality performance from maintenance contractors. The Quality Audit Team intensively monitors contractor performance. To make sure repairs and maintenance are up to standard, this may involve a visit to check work when finished. Tenants are also encouraged to say so if they're not happy with the quality of the work.

Yokota builds fitness warriors
YOKOTA AIR BASE, Japan -- Everyday people offer their lives for their country, volunteering years of service to protect and defend their homeland and prevent worldly oppression. And, every day, as people join the service, others leave, sometimes voluntarily ... other times because they were not maintaining military fitness standards.
The Yokota Health and Wellness Center continues to fight for those struggling with physical fitness, and offers a solution to those who simply want to improve their condition, by hosting a Healthy Base Initiative twice a year--the Warrior Run Program.
Tech. Sgt. Carlo Salilican, WRP coach, said the program is perfect for community members who are looking for a structured program that will steadily improve their fitness and cardiovascular fitness.
"The program is what they are looking for because after 9 weeks, as long as they have given 100 percent of their efforts, they will run faster, longer and smarter," said Salilican, who is confidently backed by program results.
The program reports an average improvement of a 2.2 minute decrease in the participant's run time, a 2-inch decrease in waist size and a score increase of 20 percent on the overall Air Force physical fitness test. According to Salilican, the program also improves the participant's overall health and wellness.
Salilican added that an increase in health throughout the base ensures "a fit-to-fight population who will be able to accomplish missions here at Yokota and overseas during contingency operations."
Building physical fitness is a tread throughout Salilican's career. He spent 5 years as a physical training leader, a year and a half as a unit functional physical manager and is currently pursuing a degree in Sports and Health Science. The current warrior course is the third iteration Salilican has coached. It is this dedication that is attached to Salilican and the other coaches with the program.
"We have a dynamic team of coaches motivated to teach and lead fitness events and we are inspired to help others reach their fitness goals," said Tech. Sgt. Christian Martinez, one of the four warrior coaches.
"I know a lot of great Airmen who have separated because of their fitness and as a NCO, I want to do my part to ensure that we do not lose any other Airmen," Salilicon said, adding that he doesn't want to see someone leave the military because they cannot meet the basic military standards for physical fitness.
As one of the original coaches, Salilican said the program means a lot to him.
"I start feeling a sense of accomplishment when participants come up to me to thank me for pushing them during the 9-week program," Salilican said. "I also love hearing the stories about the personnel who failed their fitness test prior to the course and after the Warrior Run Program they did not just pass the test, but also received an excellent rating."
The 9-week program is held twice a year, during the spring and fall. The current course is halfway done, but members can join now. The courses are free and open to anyone with access to Yokota Air Base, including military members, retirees, dependents, civilian employees and Japanese Air Self-Defense Force members.
The current course has 84 registered participants with an average of 63 attending each session. Martinez said he hopes more will come out to benefit from the program.
"Come out and have fun," Martinez said. "You will be encouraged to push yourself harder than ever before."
For those interested in attending the Warrior Run Program, or for more information, call the Health and Wellness Center at 225-8322.

Hannes is back on board, for a trip to the Crescent Moon Lake.
Dunhuang Travel Blog› entry 325 of 658 › view all entries
People I met here who contributed to, and improved my trip: Julia (Russia), Hannes (Sweden), Colin (Canada), Portia (USA)
The previous night I had received news from Hannes that he was already in Dunhuang, so we had arranged to meet today at 15.30. Our bus from Jiayuguan arrived at 14.30, which just gave us enough time to check into the excellent value Youhao Hotel (80RMB/$11 for an en-suite room with air con and tv), shower and walk to a large roundabout where we had arranged to meet.
Hannes had travelled with us on and off for nearly half a year, through Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia and East Timor, so it was weird that our paths would now cross again in China.
Our first priority was to find somewhere to eat, so we began walking to the market, when all of a sudden the street began to fill with sand and vendors started to make a move for cover. We went into one restaurant, but their prices were rather optimistic for donkey meat and beer, so we went to a Western style eatery called Charlie Johngs.
I was pleased to be inside, watching the sand storm form a safe distance, as it blew in from the nearby dunes. I felt terribly sorry for the road cleaner outside, who was stuck brushing the same area of road, only for it to be instantaneously covered with sand, just seconds later.
We had arranged to meet Portia at 18.30, but the weather was not letting up and going to climb a sand dune during a sand storm seemed about as wise as re-publishing a cartoon of Mohammed... but lets not get political now! I sent an email explaining our predicament and we settled in for a long night in the cafe, accompanied by some Tsingtao's, Ludo and our imaginations.
It was great to chat about our previous time together and also our future plans, which literally changed as we sat there. I had always planned on visiting Mogao Caves whilst in Dunhuang, some famous Buddhist Grottoes, but i was gob smacked to read in a comments book within the cafe that they had jacked the prices up to an absurd 180RMB ($25).
Around midnight Hannes had itchy feet and wanted to be more active, so we recruited Colin, a Canadian who has lived in Beijing for the last 6 years and speaks fluent Chinese, to join us in heading to a pool hall. Julia and I managed to beat the guys 3-0, although the best thing about the night was getting to see the toilets.
As it had been a late night and we had done a lot of travelling over the last few days, we agreed to have a relaxing day on Thursday and slept in until midday. Charlie Johngs cafe was our meeting place at 13.30, from where we move on to have lunch at Johns Information Cafe, located just 50 metres down the road. I think the food was much better value here, although i really liked the staff at Charlie's.
18.30 at Charlie's was the arrangement to meet Portia, so went along for a juice at 18.00 and just to hang out and wait. At 19.00 there was still no sign, so we were left with little choice but to head to the sand dunes alone. By chance, we bumped into each other at John's cafe, just as we were about to catch a taxi.
As it turned out, Portia had opted to visit Crescent Moon Lake earlier in the day, so wouldn't actually be joining us after all. Thankfully Dunhuang is forced to run on Beijing time, so although it was 19.15 when we arrived, the sun was still shining brightly. I had read in the Lousy Planet that we could gain free admittance to the site, if we just walked around the steel fence that was in place. 25 minutes later we had not set foot on the dunes and the fence was still disappearing into the horizon.
The three of us discussed the option of jumping the fence, but after spotting a guy who was tailing us with a loud speaker and also seeing the 100-200RMB ($15-$30) fine signs, we decided that our only option was to head back to the ticket office and enter the boring expensive way!
Just like every other site in China is appearing to do, Crescent Moon Lake has hiked its prices up to ludicrous levels, charging 120RMB ($17) just to climb a sand dune! The decision was made to cough up the fee, although we weren't even sure we could get any decent views before the sun finally set.
The first section of the climb was steep, but at least the sand was fairly solid, so although tiring, it was scaled rather quickly. The sun was now right behind one dune and i was sure that there was no hope to make it to the top in time. To complicate matters I still didn't even know which dune we were supposed to be climbing!
Continuing along the ridge of the biggest dune visible, the sand began to sink beneath our feet, making it tough on the legs. To add to the challenge, the wind was blowing sand off the top of the dunes and we were inhaling enough to make our lungs resemble Miami Beach. Hannes and I soon had our shoes off as they were full of sand, whilst Julia had some striking orange boots to protect her feet from becoming too bogged down.
I reached the top first and had the fun of watching the other two struggling their hardest to join me. To be fair, i was totally knackered, but sitting up there with a glowing orange ball descending on the horizon, over a gorgeous yellow sand dune and glittering small ponds, whilst the clear blue sky turned shades of purple, red and orange, really had made the journey thoroughly worthwhile.
From the top, the views of the surrounding dunes were fantastic, with camel silhouettes on the horizon, adding to the ambiance. Hannes, Julia and I performed some jumping maneuverer's to try and get some fun photos, i think Hannes has some stunt man in him, whereas Julia and I looked deformed most of the time!
A little after 21.00 the sun finally set and we ran back down the dunes, which was great fun.
John's cafe was already closed when we arrived back into town at 21.30, so we went to Charlie's for Dinner. It was going to be an early start the next day, so drinking was off the menu and instead we went to the interesting night market to look around and buy some provisions for the following day. Stocked up, we walked Hannes back to his hotel and got to bed around midnight.

New V&A Theatre and Performance Galleries
30th March 2009
INTERVIEW: KATE DORNEY
The V&A’s curator of modern and contemporary performance talks to Aleks Sierz about the newly opened Theatre and Performance Galleries at the museum, which display all things theatrical from historical posters to recent video recordings, and from Dame Edna Everage’s costume to Mick Jagger’s jumpsuit.
Theatre is always seen as some kind of poor, illegitimate relation, but it’s actually the most successful creative industry by a long way.


Our recurring new music feature Origins offers artists a platform to share exclusive insights into their latest release. Today, John O’Callaghan of The Maine breaks down the veteran alternative band’s new single, “Loved You a Little.”
As shown by the runaway success of When We Were Young Festival, 2000s nostalgia is at an all-time high. The Maine are one of the most consistent bands to come out of that era, having maintained a constant presence in the scene since breaking out more than a decade ago in 2008. Today, the Phoenix veterans have released their first single of 2022, “Loved You a Little” featuring Taking Back Sunday’s Adam Lazzara and rising singer Charlotte Sands.
A pop punk anthem that’s sure to be a crowd pleaser, “Loved You a Little” features The Maine’s lead singer John O’Callaghan trading sing-a·long vocals with Lazzara and Sands. As O’Callaghan tells Consequence, the song was expressly written with Lazzara in mind.
“The trademark dueling vocals of John Nolan and Adam Lazzara are what I fell madly in love with back when I first heard Tell All Your Friends,” O’Callaghan tells Consequence. “I knew I was going to ask Adam to sing on it and before he had the time to say no, I decided to write both parts in case he did. I really tried to lean into the trading off almost as if we were both telling the same story but from different perspectives.”
He continues, “Like a G, Adam delivered the exact same energy I’ve seen and heard from him ever since that first time I saw TBS at Bash On Ash in Tempe back in 2002, and we are goddamn excited that he agreed to be a part of this thing!”
Watch the “Loved You a Little” video below, followed by O’Callaghan’s full Origins of the track.
Last year, The Maine released their eighth studio album, XOXO: From Love & Anxiety In Real Time, which included their biggest hit to date, “Sticky.” Beginning in March, the alt-rockers are embarking on a headlining tour in support of the LP. Snag your tickets here.

The loss of someone close to us whether it be a partner, a parent, friend or other family member is always distressing. It would be a very strange world if we didn’t feel the loss of somebody we had known for a significant part of our lives. Grief is a natural normal process to help us come to terms with the gap in our lives that the death of a loved one leaves.
That space can never be filled by another as the person who is gone was unique and leaves a space that only they could fit perfectly. For some people that loss is felt as a physical thing, they keep expecting the person to be in certain places at certain times. For example, sat in front of the TV for a favourite programme, in the garden, coming in from work and so on.
For some of us that person is snatched away through illness, accident or some other event that was unexpected and this makes the distress all the more painful. We may feel cheated, we may feel it is unjust or even just plain wrong.
Regardless of the reason for our loss the distress is real and so painful. We can feel our own loss and know how that hurts but we can never know what it is like for another to lose a person close to them. Our understanding of another’s grief is based upon what that loss would feel like for us not what it feels like for them. If you’re interested in other people’s perspectives of grief, try Griefcast or check out Griefcase for tips on coping.
Different cultures experience and cope with grief in different ways. Managing our loss and our grief is personal to each of us. We have different needs to help us get through our loss; some people throw themselves into activity to help cope with the distress; others become immobilised by the pain; some try to carry on as though nothing has happened; still others become angry and look for someone to blame.
The hope is that at some point we will come to accept the loss and begin to rebuild our own lives and take the memory of our loved one on a new journey or direction that is prompted by the change in our circumstances. Those memories and a celebration of all that person was to us may help to drive a renewed sense of purpose for ourselves and those around us, and help us to recall and enjoy the best memories of that person rather than remember any bitterness or anger that the passing initially brought.
Grief is a normal process, it is there as a coping mechanism to give those still alive a way of keeping going while they come to terms with a new way of being in the world without the companionship of their loved one. It does not need to be treated, it does not follow a pattern and it definitely doesn’t mean there is something “wrong” with you if you don’t go back to “normal” within a certain time frame. However, if you do need some help to process what you’ve been through, please contact us today

Real Estate Finance
Since everybody needs a place to live, everybody is affected by real estate and its measures of valuation. More than 80% of Norwegian households and more than 65% of US households own their house, and, as a result, housing is typically the largest asset for the families. The main focus of the Real Estate Finance course is the valuation and financing of different types of real estate properties ranging from residential (private) homes to commercial, income-generating investments, and corporate real estate. The secondary focus is on discussion of risk. Only about 30% of Norwegian retirement age households have mortgage balances below 60% of the purchase price. That means that real estate risk is one of the dominant risks, if not the dominant financial risk, of households, both young and old. While analysis of residential properties typically revolves around the cost of financing (borrowing costs), valuation of commercial real estate also depends on the income-generating ability of the assets in question. In this context, taxes become an important determinant of the borrowing decision.

The monkey may be off its back, but that doesn’t mean South Hamilton is satisfied by any means as the Hawks prepare to play Boyden-Hull in the Class 2A semifinals Wednesday at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines.
South Hamilton (22-1) earned its first state tournament victory in 31 years with a 73-61 victory over Rock Valley in the quarterfinals on Monday. The Hawks shot the ball well, making 52 percent of its field goals and 8 of 17 3-pointers, but they weren’t satisfied with their performance on the other end of the court against the Rockets.
Rock Valley got to the line 22 times and made 16 against South Hamilton. The Rockets also shot 43 percent overall in scoring 13 points more than the average South Hamilton has allowed this season..
The Hawks know they need to defend better against Boyden-Hull in a game that will tipoff at 6:30 p.m.
“I thought our defense broke down too many times,” South Hamilton coach Nathan Hill said. “We’ve got to be able to adjust as the game goes on and defend better than we did without fouling. The shots aren’t always going to fall, so we’ve got to step up defensively.”
Boyden-Hull is coming off a 61-56 win over Iowa City Regina in its quarterfinal game on Monday. The Comets are 23-2, averaging 69 points and allowing 53 per game.
“They’re physical and playing with a lot of confidence right now,” Hill said. “It’s gonna be a great battle. We’re looking forward to it.”
The good news for South Hamilton is Rock Valley defeated Boyden-Hull, 65-61, on Feb. 4. But like Rock Valley, Boyden-Hull has a lot of balance - making them tough to defend.
Rock Valley had four players score in double figures on Monday. Boyden-Hull has three players averaging in double figures - Beau De Jongh, Keyton Moser and Spencer Te Slaa - and another, Tanner Te Slaa - putting up 9.8 points per contest.
Moser, Spencer Te Slaa and De Jongh are all averaging at least five rebounds. Carter Francis and Moser are both dishing out right around three assists per game and Moser, Francis and both Te Slaas have made at least 20 3-pointers.
De Jongh, a 6-3 senior, did most of the damage for the Comets against Regina. He torched the Regals for 25 points.
“They’re pretty much the same team we played (Monday),” South Hamilton senior Logan Peters said. “They’ve got a lot of weapons, so we’ve got to know how to counter that.”
Peters and fellow seniors Conner Hill and Cole Berg will have to keep up their hot play form the quarterfinals. Peters had 16 points and seven rebounds, Hill 22 points and five boards and Berg 17 points.
After their performance against Rock Valley the Hawks are feeling good about where they’re at offensively.
“Shooting the ball with confidence - we’ve been preaching that all year,” Conner Hill said. “We’ve been shooting with more confidence lately.”
For the season Peters is averaging 14.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.1 assists; Hill 17.2 points, 6.1 rebounds and 3.9 assists and Berg 12.6 points and 5.8 rebounds. The Hawks will also have the size advantage inside with 6-5 Cade Balvanz, who averages 11.5 points and 5.9 rebounds.

NAACP Referenced in the Hiring of the
Charlottesville, Virginia Police Chief
At the Charlottesville,
VA. City Council meeting held on December 5, 2022, it was said that the NAACP
provided a reference in the selection of Michael Kochis. Documentation of that
conversation between Interim City Manager Michael Rodgers and Mayor Lloyd Snook
is on record and was reported in the
Daily Progress December 6, 2022, that” Kochis received references from Warrenton’s
Chapters of “Black Lives Matter and the NAACP”.
referenced in the article is officially listed as the Fauquier County Branch of
the NAACP. There is no chapter of the NAACP in Warrenton which is in Fauquier
references mentioned is the reason for the Albemarle-Charlottesville Branch of
the NAACP to clarify what has been stated, The NAACP did not make a reference nor
did they endorse any police chief or candidate for office on any level. All
official business of any branch/unit is conducted by the Executive Committee in
its entirety. and will be documented on the letterhead of the NAACP. and not in
a conversation with an officer or member of a branch/ unit.
May 24, 2022 – another random shooting occurred! This time, children were targeted. This happened in a place in which we would assume that children could be safe – their school. The victims who were slain in last week’s massacre in Buffalo have not all been laid to rest and yes, we are back with the same story.
Shopping malls, churches, synagogues, movie theaters, grocery stores, and night clubs have been the scenes for shooters who prey upon unsuspecting victims.
I am sure that the vast number of folks would have thought that when children became murder victims, something would be done about the issue of guns being in the hands of irresponsible people. Even the simple request of securing background checks for those who buy weapons, would be a first step. It appears that most Americans would approve of this step as a legislative issue. However, there has been no action from those legislators that were elected to ensure the safety of the American people.
Since the slaughtering of innocent citizens is not a priority of those who could do something about this issue, namely the Congress of the United States, WE need to act now! American people need to realize that elections have consequences. The phrase “our thoughts and prayers are with you” appears to be an automated response, and in some cases, lacking in sincerity because it is repeated so often. ENOUGH IS PAST BEING ENOUGH!
Janette B. Martin, President ALBEMARLE-CHARLOTTESVILLE NAACP
The Albemarle- Charlottesville NAACP joins in the historic celebration of the first Black woman judge, Ketangi Brown Jackson, being confirmed to be a Justice on the highest court in the land! This is truly a moment that will forever don history books. Yesterday, while Judge Jackson was being applauded, some chose to be on the wrong side of history, and failed to realize the importance of her confirmation to the Supreme Court.But, to join in with Senator Cory Booker of the state of New Jersey, even those who could not recognize the significance of her appointment, nothing should let those of us who can and do, see the importance of this event. We will not allow the joy of this historic event and what it means for the country be overlooked! Judge Jackson, we appreciate you !
Virginia NAACP Statement on Governor Youngkin’s Interim DOE Report
RICHMOND, VA – The Virginia State Conference NAACP (Virginia NAACP) is outraged at Governor Younkin’s Executive Order One and the subsequent Interim report submitted by Superintendent of Public Instruction Jillian Balow.
Superintendent Balow has in effect declared war on teaching accurate American History by erroneously characterizing truth as divisive and outlawing previous efforts to bring about racial equity. Amy Tillerson-Brown, Ph.D., and chair of the Virginia NAACP Education Committee said, “…none of the resources Secretary Balow requested be rescinded or modified are discriminatory in that they do not promote unjust or prejudicial treatment based on race or gender. Instead, these recommendations will work to unravel
the progress our Commonwealth has made towards racial equity in education.”
The Governor cannot perpetuate this false narrative of “divisive concepts.” Virginia students have the right to an education that is accurate and without censorship.
“Virginia has a long torrid history as it pertains to educating Black children. Black slaves in Virginia were prohibited by law and practice from learning to read or write. Even when Virginia established a free public education system, educating Black children were a complete afterthought. “It is apparent that the Governor has no real interest in teaching our shared history. You cannot characterize truth as divisive and be open to teaching history accurately.” said President Robert N. Barnette, Jr.
In August 2021, the Virginia NAACP issued a press release affirming the importance of teaching Black history in public schools. The mission of the NAACP is in “…inform the public of the adverse effects of racial discrimination and to seek its elimination…” we are obligated to protest this administration’s attempt to falsify American history through omission of critically important facts.

ABOUT THE VIRGINIA NAACP
Founded in 1935, the Virginia State Conference of NAACP Branches (Virginia NAACP) is the oldest and largest nonpartisan civil rights organization in the Commonwealth, overseeing over 100 NAACP branches, youth councils, and college chapters. The Virginia NAACP is the preeminent voice of Black Virginians and advocates for policies and programs to benefit Blacks and people of color.

A statement issued by the
Virginia State Conference of the NAACP proclaims that The United States
Constitution mandates that Virginia’s General Assembly districts contain
substantially equal population. This Constitutional provision ensures that each
vote is given equal representational weight – one person, one vote. However, because the 2021 elections were
conducted on maps based upon the 2010 census, this is not currently the case.
Therefore, the NAACP’s Statement requests that the State Court will uphold
these rights by ordering new elections to be held this year under the new
General Assembly maps
Charlottesville NAACP supports the Virginia NAACP’s call on the courts to order
elections based on the redistricted maps.
Virginia NAACP Issues Statement Against Optional Mask
Wearing in School Amidst Virginia Senate’s Passage of SB 739
VA – The
Virginia State Conference of the NAACP (Virginia NAACP) abhors the passage of
Senate Bill 739 (SB 739) with Senator Chap Petersen’s amendment where parents
are allowed to opt their child out of wearing a mask in school without an
is disappointing to the Virginia NAACP that Senator Chap Petersen would put
forth such an amendment that will knowingly harm the health and safety of our
children, teaching staff, and staff personnel in schools,” said Virginia
NAACP President Robert N. Barnette, Jr. “His sly tactics will now increase
the odds that hundreds of thousands of Virginia’s children may spread and contract
COVID-19 while in school.”
739 now, more than before, demonstrates a relentless disregard for the
well-being of Virginia’s children and makes schools less safe and inaccessible;
especially for our children of color who are already detrimentally and
disproportionately impacted by COVID-19 and behind because of discriminatory
barriers in our education systems.
Virginia NAACP stands by science and the CDC’s guidance for COVID-19 prevention
in K-12 schools, and with that comes the requirement of masks for our children.
Requiring masks in schools is a preventative measure and we will continue to
support and encourage all children to wear masks at school and on school buses.
To be on any other side is an outright failure to protect the health of the most
innocent among us, children.
NAACP urges all NAACP members and allies to take bold action against SB 739 and
urges the House of Delegates upon receipt of SB 739 to reject the bill’s
blatant failure to protect school children from the deadly COVID-19 virus and
therefore, take all necessary steps to protect students, teachers,
administrators, and all school staff.

Virginia NAACP Opposed to Confirmation of Andrew Wheeler as Virginia Secretary of Natural and Historic Resources
RICHMOND – Today the Virginia State Conference NAACP (Virginia NAACP) outlined its grave concerns with the appointment of Mr. Andrew Wheeler to serve as Virginia’s next Secretary of Natural and Historic Resources and vowed its adamant opposition to his confirmation by the Virginia General Assembly.
Virginia NAACP Environmental and Climate Justice Chairman Karen Campblin said:
“During Mr. Wheeler’s career, serving as a lobbyist in the fossil fuel/coal industry and most recently the US EPA Administrator, he led many efforts to weaken environmental protections, lower emission standards, and allow pollutants to contaminate resources unchecked and unmitigated. It is imperative that the next Secretary has a strong commitment to prioritize the health and wellness of all Virginians, particularly our vulnerable populations.”
Virginia NAACP President Robert N. Barnette, Jr. said:
“We demand Governor Youngkin immediately rescind the nomination of Mr. Andrew Wheeler and urge all legislators to block Mr. Wheeler’s confirmation.”
The Virginia NAACP urges Governor Youngkin to re-evaluate Mr. Wheeler’s qualifications as well as, other appointments to make sure the potential candidate will carry out the duties of the position fairly, equitably, and without political agenda or reprisal. Governor Youngkin’s administration must set a high standard and demand nothing less than putting all peoples of the Commonwealth first.
The role of the Secretary is to advance Virginia’s environmental and conservation policies, protect, and restore our natural and historic resources, and oversee all-natural and historic state agencies.
The NAACP in collaboration with the Clean Air Task Force, published Fumes Across the Fenceline, a seminal report which analyzed the health impacts on Black communities located adjacent to fossil fuel facilities.
The report stated Blacks are exposed to 38% more polluted air than their white counterparts and are 75% more likely to live in a Fenceline community. Fenceline communities are typically Black, communities of color, and low wealth communities located adjacent to hazardous facilities and are directly affected by the facility’s operations (i.e. noise, fumes, emissions, odor, traffic, etc.). These communities are overburdened by the effects of pollution and experience higher rates of asthma, cancers, upper respiratory illnesses, and other diseases.
While this is not the only cabinet head nomination of concern the Virginia NAACP, Mr. Wheeler’s nomination resulted in an unprecedented, unanimous vote of no confidence by the Virginia NAACP Executive Committee comprised of NAACP leaders across the Commonwealth.

Extended DataReader to fetch Dividends and Stock Splits from Yahoo! #45
Thanks. Could you add that to the docs? I assume that would be a common question.
Only other thing I could think of would be to have a convenient way to get only the splits or only the dividends (understanding that anyone could filter the resulting dataframe). Could be next version..


The starling roost: a very British spectacle
For most months of the year, the starling wouldn't make it into anyone's top five bird list. During autumn, however, this highly intelligent, iridescent bird comes into its own with its famous and spectacular aerial displays (as this clip from Nature of Britain shows).
Starlings gather in large flocks (or murmurations to give them the proper name) of up to a million birds. The flocks wheel and turn and create amazing shapes across the early evening sky.
But why? The most convincing explanation is to ward off predators such as hawks and peregrine falcons attracted to the area by the huge number starlings roosting.
Ringing studies have shown that the Scandinavian birds tend to winter in the north of Britain while those from Germany and the Netherlands tend to winter in the south of England.
Sadly since the mid-1960s, breeding populations in Europe have been in decline, probably due to modern farming practices and loss of habitat.
Best seat in the house
Although it's pretty hard to predict exactly where these displays will occur each year, there are places where they've been seen year after year.
The Somerset Levels attracts the largest murmurations of starlings in the country. Displays here can contain more than a million individuals. The Levels are an attractive place for the starling flocks as they offer large reed beds which are the perfect feeding ground for hungry starlings.
Shapwick Heath National Nature Reserve is particularly good. In 1999/2000 it attracted an estimated flock of over 6 million starlings. Other locations in the county include RSPB Ham Wall and Westhay Moor.
If you are fancy heading to the Somerset Levels to watch the spectacle then phone the very handy RSPB Starling Hotline before you leave on 07866 554142 or send them an email to make sure you visit at the best time.
If Somerset's too far there are several RSPB reserves that attract flocking starlings: Fen Drayton Lakes in Cambridgeshire, Leighton Moss in Lancashire, Saltholme near Middlesbrough, Newport Wetlands in Newport, and Snape in Suffolk.
Or there's Aberystwyth pier in Wales (where Chris and Kate went for Thursday's show), Blackpool pier, Gretna Green in Dumfries and Galloway and Brighton Pier in Sussex.
From your comments on the messageboard it seems this very British spectacle is a big favourite with many of you. So do you have any starling stories? Where's your favourite starling flocking location? Tell us by posting a comment below.

HAYDEN PANETTIERE has vowed she’ll never fall victim to the trappings of fame like her peers LINDSAY LOHAN and BRITNEY SPEARS – because she prefers quiet nights in to wild Hollywood parties.
The Heroes beauty insists she leads a vastly different life to some of her contemporaries, because she is more mature than most stars her age.
But the 18-year-old admits she is partial to a glass of champagne, even though she is three years younger than the U.S. legal drinking age.
She tells the U.S. edition of Cosmopolitan, “I think that people look at me as just another one of those girls who’s going to screw up, like, ‘She’s going to get into drugs, and she’s going to get into the parties.’
“I have the occasional glass of champagne when I’m celebrating something, but generally, I don’t drink. I’m a pizza-and-a-movie girl.”

Mexico's Senate unanimously approved a federal bill banning animal testing for cosmetics, making it the first country in North America and the 41st country in the world to outlaw the practice. Under the new law, cosmetic research may not include testing on animals, including research on individual cosmetic ingredients and finished cosmetic products. The new law also prohibits the manufacture, marketing, and import of cosmetics where the final formulation or individual ingredients have been tested on animals elsewhere in the world.
We thank the Mexican government for showing leadership on this important issue, and we will continue to work with them to implement the commitments and enforce a robust ban," Antón Aguilar, Executive Director of Humane Society International (HSI) in Mexico, said. "This is a monumental step forward for animals, consumers and science in Mexico, and this ground-breaking legislation leads the way for the Americas to become the next cruelty-free beauty market, and brings us one bunny-leap closer to a global ban.
Bill sponsor Senator Ricardo Monreal said via Twitter, "Finally, we're going to save 'Ralph' and all the animals because today we are approving a historic reform: the prohibition to use them as experiments for beauty products. Beauty cannot be cruelty, and that's why we senators are saving the animals and are issuing laws that firmly prohibit the use of animals for experiments in beauty, cosmetology, or of any type. Arriba los animales!"
While Mexico is the first North American country to ban animal testing, ten states in Brazil and seven in the United States (California, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Nevada, and Virginia) have passed legislation with similar laws pending in New Jersey, Rhode Island, and New York. Federal bills are also pending reintroduction in the US and Canada.

These Rescues are currently available in the Northeast area of the country. If you are interested in adopting one of the Malinois profiled in these pages contact the foster home listed in the profile.
A NOTE TO POLICE OFFICERS, SAR GROUPS
AND OTHERS LOOKING FOR WORKING MALINOIS:
Many police officers/trainers/SAR groups approach Malinois rescue looking for young dogs to train. Most of our rescued dogs are not suitable for these types of jobs. Some of our rescued Malinois are actually dogs that have been rejected by police departments due to their inability to do the job. While we are not opposed to adopting dogs out as working dogs, we adopt only to individuals, never to organizations or police departments. Most of our rescued Malinois have had difficult beginnings in life. The majority will make fantastic family pets, but most of them do not have the temperament needed to work day after day with a police officer or in search and rescue. All dogs adopted through Malinois rescue will be spayed or neutered prior to placement.
Abby is ready for her forever home. She is a very sweet little (petite, 50lbs) girl.
She loves to play and run. She has nice ball drive, good focus and intensity… coupled with being SUPER FAST makes her a GREAT sport-dog candidate!
She's crate trained, housebroken and loves attention from her people. Though she will bark at strangers, she warms up quickly to the "good" ones, but definitely not to those who give her a bad vibe – she's a smart girl.
Abby is currently living with a big-dog/Mal-savvy cat, and there have been zero issues or concerns from her foster. She's good with kids (pre-teen and older), and, with more-submissive, lower-key dogs.
Just like most dogs, Abby needs structure and consistency. She also needs someone who is familiar with the breed and their high-energy traits and needs.
And, like many other animals (and people), Abby does NOT like chaos, and is very sensitive to stressful environments and situations.
Abby is still getting use to car-rides – during the first 5-15 minutes in a car, she's attempting to "get" everything you pass (other vehicles, trees, light posts, etc.). Though she does eventually settle down, it's evident she just needs more exposure to outside things. Her foster believes once she gets use to the idea of having new experiences constantly, she will be rock solid.
We are in the process of having her evaluated for possible SAR. Once the evaluation is complete, her profile will be updated accordingly.
Her coordinator, Tracey, has have personally met Abby and TOTALLY feel in love with her. She's a loving little girl … who is SUPER FAST … extremely SMART … and it's clear she just wants a family who understands her, her needs (love, understanding, an active lifestyle, structure and consistency) and most definitely, one she can call her own!
The pictures provided with her profile do NOT do her justice. She's a beauty!
Abby is spayed, UTD, microchipped and ready to move on to the next chapter of her life.
Axel was taken in by a young woman when he was about 7 months old
We were told he was from foreign working lines. He was taken in by a young woman when he was about 7 months old. He spent most of his time with two women and a small male child. The owner got a new job and no longer had time for him. He has shown aggression towards strangers especially men. He may growl at a stranger but stops when told to cut it out. Once he knows you he wants to give kisses. He is currently staying with a man as his main caregiver with no aggression issues. His basic commands need work but he is getting better.
Axel has lots of energy and gets nippy when excited. He hasn't shown enough drive to be a working dog but would likely be a good sport dog candidate. He will not be place in a pet home. He needs an experienced mal owner. He is very strong and was able to escape when he first arrived in NH. He was smart enough to stay in the area. He met a porcupine but luckily only ended up with 3 quills in his nose.
He loves his crate and will kennel up and remains quite and calm in his crate. He hasn't had a lot of toys since his former house-mate was toy possessive. Loves chasing a ball. Needs work on his retrieve. Loves to jump into the car for a ride. He does well on a Gentle Leader.
He will not be placed in a home with young children. He should have a physical fence at least 5 feet tall.

Della was brought to the vet's office as a Euth request!
Della, a 10 year old female Mal, was brought to the vet's office as a Euth request because they no longer wanted her!! The vet refused and she is now there waiting for a forever home. She is a total sweetheart and appears to be in great condition/health. She craves attention and wants a person to love. Della is good with dogs her size but wouldn't recommend her with cats, small dogs or young children. She has been kenneled for quite some time so she is a little barky, but that is something that would resolve once she is back inside a home.

text: London: Chatto & Windus, 1894. First Edition. Hardcover. Signed Presentation Copy. 8vo. In original dark blue cloth. An extraordinary association copy, inscribed "Mary C. J. Leith from her affectionate cousin A.C. Swinburne Nov. 8, 1894." Mary Gordon, later Mrs. Leith, was Swinburne's first cousin and by far the most important woman in his life apart from his mother. Herself a poet and novelist, Mary Gordon's intimacy began in childhood when they lived in neighboring houses on the Isle of Wight. Later their relationship became literary, Swinburne providing the poems that appear in Gordon's anonymously issued "The Children of the Chapel" in 1864, and Gordon appearing as Clara in Swinburne's own novel, "A Year's Letters," first serialized in The Tatler in 1877. It was published in book form in 1905 as "Love's Cross-Currents." In her memoir, Gordon wrote that Swinburne [was] to me as an elder brother, a loved and sympathetic playmate, and in later years a loyal and affectionate friend. Although there is no direct evidence, recent scholarship has identified Gordon as most likely Swinburne's sole romantic attachment, which ended in traumatic rejection. This book was probably inscribed after Gordon visited Swinburne and Watts-Dunton at The Pines in the fall of 1894. In 1899, Swinburne dedicated his last major poetic work, "Rosamund, Queen of the Lombards," to Mrs. Disney Leither. Swinburne is better known for his lyric poetry, but he was also a prolific and well regarded literary critic. The collection of some of his critical writings include essays on Sir Walter Scott, Wilkie Collins, Beaumont and Fletcher, Whitman, and more. Bound in publisher's original dark blue cloth with gilt rule to front cover borders and title and author in gilt to spine. Light offsetting to free endpapers otherwise near fine condition.

Google Pixel 6
Google hasn’t been very secretive about its new flagships, the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. The first leaks (and quite truthful ones) appeared back in June, in August there was a small announcement on paper, and in the last couple of weeks there were a lot of leaks that revealed almost everything about smartphones. In fact, all that remained was to find out the prices. And today Google has completely declassified new items, and, of course, talked about the prices. Let’s start with them.
Google Pixel 6 Pro
It should be noted right away that the Pixel 6 is noticeably cheaper at home than in Europe. So, the base Pixel 6 with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of flash memory in the US is priced at $ 600. And the cost of the same smartphone in Europe is already 650 euros. The Pixel 6 Pro with 12GB of RAM and 128GB of storage costs $ 900 in the US and € 900 in Europe.
The Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro will be the first Android 12 smartphones out of the box, no one doubted. But the Tensor hardware platform is interesting here – it differs markedly from other smartphone SoCs. The most important thing is the presence of two Cortex-X1 super cores in Tensor at once. For comparison, the same Snapdragon 888 and Snapdragon 888 Plus have one each. The next-generation single-chip systems, which will debut later this year and next year, will receive a more powerful super-core Cortex-X2, but so far Tensor is the most outstanding SoC in this regard. The powerful cores are complemented by two mid-performance cores and four energy efficient cores. The SoC also has its own digital signal processor responsible for image and video capture and computational photography. Finally, the SoC is supplemented with a Titan M2 chip, which protects the contents of the smartphone’s memory (photos, text and other data) from outside attacks. It should also be noted that Google has promised five years to update the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro – that is, they will receive updates until the end of 2026. Here Google even surpassed Samsung.
Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro are Google’s first smartphones with proprietary Tensor SoC
The Pixel 6 Pro has a 6.7-inch AMOLED LTPO screen with a resolution of 3120 x 1440 pixels and a frame rate of 120 Hz. The Pixel 6’s screen is simpler, with a 6.4-inch AMOLED panel with Full HD + resolution at 90Hz. Both screens are protected by durable Gorilla Glass Victus, fingerprint scanners in both cases are integrated into the displays.
Pixel 6 Pro
Pixel 6 Pro
Cameras are an area where the new Pixels have significantly improved over their predecessors. And while a 12MP sensor is found on both the Pixel 6 Pro and Pixel 6 (both are paired with an ultra-wide-angle lens), the primary sensors are much better. The main module in both Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro is represented by a 50-megapixel sensor and a fast lens with an aperture of F / 1.85, this kit is complemented by an optical stabilization system. In addition to these two modules, the Pixel 6 Pro has a third. It features a 48MP sensor and an F / 3.5 aperture telephoto lens that provides 4x optical zoom (up to 20x with Super Res Zoom). This module also has optical stabilization.
The front cameras are embedded, but if in the Pixel 6 its resolution is 8 megapixels, then in the Pixel 6 Pro it is 11.1 megapixels.
The Pixel 6 Pro has a 5000mAh battery, while the Pixel 6 has a 4400mAh battery. Both smartphones support charging with a power of 30 W over the wire, the power of wireless charging does not differ significantly: Pixel 6 – 21 W, Pixel 6 Pro – 23 W. Also, both smartphones support reverse wireless charging, but, alas, there is no wired or wireless charger in the package of the new products. Other common features include a 5G modem, Wi-Fi 6E adapters, Bluetooth 5.2, NFC and UWB, IP68 dust and water protection, USB Type-C 3.1 Gen 1 port.
Dimensions and weight Pixel 6 – 158.6 x 74.8 x 8.9 mm and 207 grams, Pixel 6 Pro – 163.9 x 75.9 x 8.9 mm and 210 grams.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 will be more powerful than the Galaxy S22 Ultra. The clamshell will indeed get a new Qualcomm platform
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 smartphone will indeed be potentially more productive than the Galaxy S22 Ultra.
Geekbench software confirms that the company’s new clamshell phone will feature a yet-to-be-revealed Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ SoC, which should be announced tomorrow.
Of course, the potential of the new platform may be limited by the cooling system or settings, but in the benchmark, the smartphone scores 1277 and 3642 points in single-threaded and multi-threaded modes, respectively. Also, the test device had 8 GB of RAM and was running Android 12.
The Galaxy Z Flip4 will be a very important smartphone for the company. Firstly, because foldable devices are becoming more popular, and Samsung is the leader in this market, and secondly, because Flip4 will account for 70% of the production of the company’s foldable flagships.
Redmi Note 11T Pro smartphones have been officially announced. With new camera, SoC Dimensity 8100, 5080mAh battery, 144Hz screen and 3.5mm headphone jack
Today, Redmi finally officially announced and showed the new Redmi Note 11T Pro smartphones, replacing the Chinese Redmi Note 11T. Moreover, several teasers were published on the same day, although usually the company strictly doses out details about new products, stretching teasers for a week.
However, in this case, there is basically no week: the full premiere of Redmi Note 11T Pro will take place on Tuesday, May 24th. The series will include two models – Redmi Note 11T Pro and Redmi Note 11T Pro+.
The Redmi Note 11T Pro is touted as a Turbo smartphone in terms of performance and customization. By this we mean, first of all, increased, in comparison with its predecessors, performance and support for high-power charging. The official teaser talks about the use of the MediaTek Dimensity 8100 single-chip system in smartphones. The base model will receive a 5080 mAh battery with support for 67 W fast charging, the battery capacity of Redmi Note 11T Pro + is smaller, 4400 mAh, but it will support 120 mAh charging. Tue
Redmi dedicated a separate teaser to the 3.5 mm jack for connecting standard headphones. This connector will be on both the Pro and Pro+ models.
Another innovation is the use of IPS screens in smartphones with a frame rate increased to 144 Hz. The display diagonal is the same for Pro and Pro + – 6.6 inches. Accordingly, the dimensions of the models are also the same – 163.64 x 74.29 x 8.8 mm. There are no details about the camera, but, firstly, it looks new, and secondly, the resolution of the main sensor will be 64 megapixels. For now, these are all the fresh details about Redmi Note 11T Pro and Redmi Note 11T Pro+.
Recall that yesterday it became known about the official debut until the end of May of Honor 70 smartphones, which risk being no less popular in China than Redmi Note 11T Pro.
Typical low-cost smartphones of 2022. Narzo 50 5G and Narzo 50 Pro introduced
Realme has unveiled a couple of new Narzo smartphones: Narzo 50 5G and Narzo 50 Pro 5G.
The devices are identical in a number of parameters. For example, both have 5000mAh batteries with 33W charging and 90Hz Full HD+ screens.
Narzo 50 5G has a 6.6-inch IPS panel. The smartphone is based on SoC Dimensity 810, has 4 or 6 GB of RAM and 64 or 128 GB of flash memory. The main camera is represented by sensors with a resolution of 48 and 8 megapixels, the resolution of the front is 8 megapixels. You can also select stereo speakers. The smartphone starts at $205.
Narzo 50 Pro 5G already offers a 6.4-inch AMOLED panel. The heart is the SoC Dimensity 920, there is 6 or 8 GB of RAM, and only 128 GB of flash memory. The main camera is the same, except that it also has a macro module with a resolution of 2 megapixels. For such a smartphone, they ask from $ 285.
