A group of scientists at the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston found that a single glass of alcohol per day may significantly increase breast cancer risk in women.
Past studies had also revealed links between alcohol use and risk of developing various forms of cancer including liver, colon, and esophagus cancers. Yet most of those studies focused on the negative health outcomes triggered by heavy drinking. Harvard’s new study is the first to find an association between moderate alcohol use and risk of cancer.
Harvard researchers analyzed the influence of alcohol on both women and men and assessed their risk of cancer across all levels of alcohol use. The team’s purpose was to find a definite link between alcohol and the risk of developing any form of cancer.
The study involved more than 135,000 people who had reported that they drank alcohol within the recommended limits. These limits are one glass a day for women and two glasses a day for men.
But the glass should not contain more than 15 g or alcohol or the equivalent of a 118 ml glass of wine or 355 ml beer.
The study revealed that men who said they drank alcohol moderately but on a daily basis had a higher risk of cancer than their peers who drank less or no alcohol only when they associated alcohol with cigarettes. No such association was found in study participants who didn’t smoke.
But women who reportedly consumed a glass of wine per day for 30 days in a row had a 13 percent higher risk of overall cancer regardless whether they were or not smokers. And breast cancer risk was even greater when women consumed alcohol.
During their research, study authors sifted through data gathered by a national survey designed to assess nurses’ health – the Nurses’ Health Study – and a study designed to assess men’s health – the Health Professionals Follow-up Study. Study participants were monitored between the 1980s and 2010.
Dr. Jürgen Rehm, head of the Center for Addiction and Mental Health’s Social and Epidemiological Research, said that alcohol may be only one risk factor which in combination with other factors such as a family history of breast cancer may lead to cancer.
Dr. Rehm recommends that women who know that breast cancer runs in their families should try and either decrease their alcohol intake below the limits considered healthy by medical professionals or simply stay away from it.

What is a company? Put simply, a service is a company that seeks to produce profit by offering goods as well as services for a charge. A service is not always profitable, yet its key purpose is to create a profit.

These people are mostly juniors to the exec, however the executive assigns and routes them. For instance, the principal operating officer (COO) details the needs of the human resources division and works with a human resources manager to supervise its staff members.
A service has to develop its position out there. Only a company with a large market share can endure in an open market. To attain this objective, set a target market share and afterwards slowly increase that market share. It is essential to remember that there are many different means to grow a business. This is a procedure that requires consistent preparation and evaluation. This is a vital part of taking care of a company, and a part of the firm’s approach.
The types of services that you can establish are based on the sort of entity that you intend to form. In the UK, you can develop a company sole or a minimal company by guarantee. Nonetheless, these are not common. In England, you can likewise create an unrestricted company with or without a share resources. All of these alternatives have their own benefits and also negative aspects, and choosing which kind of company entity is right for you relies on your objectives.

Derek F.Abell says that services can be defined by their industry, client features, and different innovations. These five parts are all important elements of every company. However, many people don’t realize these parts of a business.
In the legal feeling, a service is any type of organization that looks for profit with sales or manufacturing. This can be a for-profit organization or a charitable organization that works for a charitable reason.

Growing up in the 1980s and 90s in McKenzie, I remember an abundance of manufacturing jobs in the area. And this wasn’t even in McKenzie’s heyday. Slowly but surely with the blame placed on NAFTA and other economic downturns, the Tri-County area like most of the United States watched the unemployment rise as factories pulled up their stakes or shuttered their doors altogether.

Heather Wright/The Independent
It appears another food truck could still set up shop in Bridgeview Park in the future.
In March, Petrolia council tabled a new food truck bylaw with some councillors saying the timing was wrong since restaurants are struggling through the pandemic.
But Monday, council got a better idea of what the proposed bylaw would do. Dave Menzies, director of community services, told council the bylaw would allow up to four food trucks – two on each side of the park – but not immediately. Menzies is suggesting council allow two food trucks on the south side for the time being.
One of those licenses has already been contracted.
Menzies says, over time, if council thought it was appropriate, it could offer two contracts on the north side of Bridgeview Park.
The proposed bylaw also sets a minimum bid for the license of $5,000.
Menzies says over the years, there has not been a big demand for the licenses on municipal property. Only one food truck applied for the last license. Council placed a cost for that at $2,500 at the time.
“I think adding another one or a different type of truck would be smart. When you see the amount of fry trucks at the Bluewater Bridge and friends, people it draws, that’s going to bring even more people (to Bridgeview Park),” says Councillor Joel Field. “I think having them out of the downtown is positive.”
Menzies says the proposed bylaw would prohibit downtown food trucks. He says right now it is possible for operators to work with local business and use their parking lots for a location although they need approval through the planning process.
Some councillors question whether anyone would bid $5,000 to operate a food truck in a municipal park. Councillor Wade Deighton says some of the people on the Community Services Committee wanted the fee even higher.
He says with the municipality now paying hydro and water for the existing food truck, the fees needed to be restructured “to bring it up to a more acceptable level.”
One local food truck operator, Bill Wellington who operates Dips, told council in March the $5,000 fee would be too much and he wouldn’t bid for it.
Deighton says that’s okay. “If they don’t like it, they don’t apply for it.”
Councillor Marty Souch remains the only one opposed to the proposed bylaw.
“The problem that I had is, we’re in tough times now and I’ve heard some of the stories of restaurants trying to survive. I’m not against it. I’m against the time, I think now is not a good time to do it.”
Council will take another look at the proposed bylaw next meeting April 26 and could pass it at that time.

Hit & Run Meter
One of the most important aspects of the game, the Hit & Run meter, determines if the police will be chasing you or not. If you destroy a lot of things, and run over a lot of pedestrians, your Hit * Run meter will soon go into the red zone. This is to warn you that you are too far into destroying things. If you remain calm and do not hit anything or anyone, the rating drops significantly. You can also switch vehicles to cool the rating down some.
There are seven different levels in the game. In most every level, you will play as a different character; first being Homer, second being Bart, etc... You can revisit a level after you defeat it, as well, in case you missed something along the way.
These range from running errands to beating a certain character in a race. There are 49 missions that spread out over eight different levels in the game. If you fail a mission enough, you will have the option to skip it. My fellow IGN Guide writing buddy, Hil Goldstein, told me that in almost every mission that requires you to go from on point to the next, the timer doesn't start until you get into your car. Park close to your next goal, then when you get the mission, you can walk to your car, get in, and be done with just 5 or 10 seconds taken off the clock.
There are three Street Races per Level in the game. You can find Nelson, Milhouse, and Ralph Wiggum all with flags throughout each Level, and it seems as if Marge's annoying sisters are behind it... Noteworthy tips include the fact that you do not have to run over the blue, circular checkpoints. There are also completely random challenges in Springfield from Louie and Legs that are not covered in this guide due to obvious reasons: They're random.
There are a few of these in the game, and they handle pretty much like the regular missions, except you likely earn a reward for completing them. They are also a little tougher than the casual mission, as well.
These bad babies are references to the Simpsons world of Springfield. If you spot a blue aura surrounding an item, press the button that you enter vehicles/buildings with to activate a gag from the show!
The Collector Cards are also references to the Simpsons episodes, as they are a basic layout for what each described show was about, including quotes that scroll along the bottom of the menu. This is a game for the fans, that's for sure.
These things have been spotted several times around town, and likely have a connection to those Black Vans that have been appearing throughout town. They can attack you with electricity, forcing you to lose money (ala, Sonic The Hedgehog). You can jump into the air and punch them to eliminate their threat.
There are plenty of vehicles that you can find, or purchase, in the levels of the game. Most of the purchases pop up throughout the game after certain missions are complete. To find out where to buy them, try reading the last paragraph or sentence of each mission to see if any have became available. You can also unlock vehicles through completing the Street Races.
You can purchase different costumes (or "skins") for your character to wear at different places where there tends to be a dollar sign. In the first level, it is in the Elementary School and Apu's Kwik-E Mart. Use this as a fast reference in where to look, although we will add the locations in the Missions walkthrough.
On to DMV...

Back in April I cleaned up some Japanese indigo seeds from plants I grew in 2017.
Here’s the little bag I stored them in as I cleaned them:
Here’s what one hundred Japanese indigo seeds looks like:
From what I’ve read and experienced, Japanese indigo seeds do not stay viable for long. You’re supposed to use them in the next growing season. if you try to store them longer than that, expect poor results. Since I do not plant Japanese indigo every year, my germination rate is always pretty low. I set up a sheet with 100 seeds to make the math easy.
This year I bought a seedling mat to keep them warm. I thought it might help with germination. Here’s the type I bought:
The mat certainly worked to keep things toasty. In fact, I added a towel on top of the mat to keep the seeds off the direct heat. But as it turned out, I got way too impatient to wait for the seeds to sprout on the paper towels.

Poker is a card game in which players place bets on their hands and the highest ranking hand wins the pot at the end of each betting round. The game is played with poker chips, each worth a different amount depending on their color. A white chip is worth one unit, a red is worth five units and a blue is worth 10 units. The chips are used to place bets, called raises, and folds.
Good poker strategy is based on understanding relative hand strength and knowing how to read the other players. It also involves learning about bet sizes and position. If you’re a beginner, it’s best to start at the lowest stakes possible and work your way up. This will allow you to play against weaker players and learn the game without donating your money to strong players who already know how to win.
Another key aspect of good poker is mental toughness. Every player will experience bad beats, and you’ll need to be able to handle it. One way to help develop this skill is to watch videos of Phil Ivey playing poker. He doesn’t get upset about a bad beat and maintains a positive attitude.
Lastly, you should focus on improving your physical condition to be able to play long poker sessions. This will ensure that you are able to play for hours without getting tired or distracted. Also, it will improve your chances of winning by ensuring that you are in the best shape to make the right decisions.

This project consisted of improvements and new infrastructure for the Town of Clint, Texas, upgrading the wastewater collection system and lift station facilities for the entire town.
The design involved approximately 38,000 linear feet of gravity sewer mains ranging in size from 8 to 12 inches in diameter, 4,000 linear feet of 10-inch force main improvements, a new 1,300 GPM, 35 foot deep cast-in-place lift station, a control room, an odor control system, 123 manholes, 300 linear feet of 24-inch steel casing by boring/tunneling methods and approximately 260 service connections. All new pipeline and lift station facilities required major dewatering operations and significant coordination with all area residents, EPCWID#1 and other utility companies. Plans, specifications and cost estimates were developed. Construction Phase Services, including RPR, were rendered for the entire duration of project.


Ever since the outbreak of coronavirus, Hospitality Industry worldwide has come under a huge strain and India is no exception to it. As the country entered its lockdown period, many hotels have shut down in a hope to reopen as soon as the business starts picking up.
Speaking to key Industry stake holders, HVS – a global consulting firm in its report has found that, some 57% of 787 branded hotels have become non-operational. The ones operating are running an occupancy of 10% or lower.
While many of the hotels currently operational, in partnership with local governments are serving as a self-isolation facility for those who have recently traveled into India and have been asked by the government to isolate themselves for a period of 14 days.
Some of the guests in these hotels are those who for some reason were unable to travel back to their country due to lockdown, or non-operational flights, etc. Even as these hotels experience crunch in their cashflows, they are still maintaining high standards of their services to all their guests.
In an Innovative offering, some hotels have converted their rooms into office spaces for some organisations working to provide essential services to their clients. Employees from these organisations are staying and working from their hotel rooms.

Independence Day: Resurgence Movie Review
Dude, have you watched any of your own films lately?
I left my brain at the door and my intelligence was still insulted by this film.
Sure they went bigger, and it was fun if you could sit through the nonsense. Unfortunately, the stupid was too much for me.
This film failed on every science level and then some. Plausibility just went right out the window and there were tons of coincidences. This film demeans all other science fiction movies.
And what is it with Emmerich and stuff falling on planes? He must be a big fan of buildings attacking flying aircraft.
It was good to see Jeff Goldblum, Bill Pullman, Judd Hirsch, and the others return. They did their best with what they had.
This film wasn’t supposed to be more than a dumb popcorn movie. Sometimes, I’m all right with that. But it just blew it too often for me. And it wasn’t very memorable.
If you remove your entire head before entering the theater, you might enjoy it. You have been warned…
How the Beatles Made Me a Paperback Writer
The Beatles’ Anthology began to play.
My tech writer job was out of style,
But they were guaranteed to make me smile.
So may I introduce to you
The group I’ve loved for all these years,
Gwen, Jenna, Ysabel, and Kay!
I was a casual Beatles fan until “Free as a Bird” was released as part of the TV Anthology series in 1995. The song stuck in my head and helped me get through my dreary work day.
I quickly devoured every Beatles song and book I could find. One book in particular (A Day in the Life: The Music and Artistry of the Beatles, by Mark Hertsgaard) struck me with the phrase “four-fold synergy” when describing how the Beatles worked together. I wanted to create another intimate group, but one of all women. They wouldn’t be musicians, but magicians. Their magic would be linked to the number four--but not the four elements. How about the seasons?

Enefit American Oil
|Private, subsidiary of Eesti Energia|
|Industry||Oil shale industry|
|Headquarters||Salt Lake City, Utah, United States|
|Rikki Hrenko-Browning (CEO)|
Enefit American Oil (former name: Oil Shale Exploration Company - OSEC) is a Utah based oil shale exploration and development company. It has been involved in the development of oil shale since 2005. Since 2011 it is a subsidiary of Eesti Energia, internationally known as Enefit.
OSEC was formed in 2005 as a limited liability company by following companies:
- L&R Energy, Inc.
- Twin Pines Coal Company
- Shale Investments, LLC
In 2008, OSEC concluded a contract with Brazilian oil company Petrobras and Japanese investment and trading company Mitsui according to which Petrobras and Misui had a right to acquire 10%-20% interests each in an oil shale joint venture with OSEC.
In March 2011, Estonian energy company Eesti Energia acquired 100% of OSEC's shares. This transaction was criticized by some Estonian oil shale scientists who expressed doubts if the Eesti Energia's Enefit extraction technology is suitable Utah oil shale due to the high percentage of nitrous compounds in it.
Enefit American Oil owns or leases 30,274 acres (122.51 km2) of oil shale property in the Uintah Basin in Utah, containing an estimated 2.6 billion barrels (410×106 m3) of recoverable shale oil. It also leases from the United States Bureau of Land Management the abandoned White River Oil Shale Mine 45 miles (72 km) southeast of Vernal, Utah. The White River Mine was developed by the White River Shale Corporation in the early 1980s. In 1986, after termination of operations, the mine and surface facilities were turned over to the Bureau of Land Management.
Enefit is proposing to develop a greenfield oil shale mining and mineral processing facility on 13,441 acres (5,439 ha) of private lands in the Uinta Basin of eastern Utah (the "South Project"). As contemplated, the South Project will entail surface mining oil shale from approximately 7,000 acres (2,800 ha), producing 50,000 barrels per day (7,900 m3/d) of shale oil, and over 500 million barrels (79×106 m3) over the life of the project. The company plans to begin commercial production in mid 2020s.
Originally OSEC planned to use the Alberta Taciuk Process (ATP). To use the ATP retort technology, OSEC entered into a license agreement with AECOM, then owner of the ATP proprietary information. However, on 9 June 2008, OSEC announced it had signed an agreement with Petrobras and Mitsui according to which Petrobras agreed to undertake a technical, economic and environmental commercial feasibility study of Petrosix shale oil extraction technology for oil shale owned or leased by OSEC in Utah. Few results of the study were disclosed. After acquiring 100% of OSEC shares in March 2011, Eesti Energia announced it would conduct a new commercial study using its Enefit Process. The company has produced oil from Utah oil shale in its test facilities in Germany using the Enefit technology and is optimizing and is exploring a variety of alternatives and modifications to the process of shale oil production.

A major contributor to this section appears to have a close connection with its subject. (January 2015) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
In 2012, Enefit American Oil submitted an application to the Bureau of Land Management for a utility Right of Way to serve Enefit South. While the site is privately owned, utilities to serve it must cross BLM land, which triggered an Environmental Impact Statement. In preparation for submitting permit applications, EAO completed 1.5 years of ambient air quality baseline data collection in 2013. This was conducted at a Environmental Protection Agency-approved air monitoring station on the project site in the Rabbit Mountain area in southern Uintah Basin. Since then, the Utah State University's Uintah Basin Campus has continued collection of meteorological information for use in a long-term, multi-agency study of the Basin's air quality.
Environmental groups have raised concerns about the broader impact of the shale oil project, however, as the kerogen oil it produces is a highly carbon-polluting fuel. The 1.2 billion barrels of oil expected from the project have been estimated to produce lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions of up to 450 million tons of carbon dioxide equivalent, about the same as 100 coal-fired power plants emit in a year.
The limited water needed for the project will come from an existing surface water right and be piped from the Green River. However, we[who?] are drilling or rehabilitating a series of 23 groundwater-monitoring wells on the project site to develop a model that will confirm underground water quality and movement. We[who?] have also installed six surface water-monitoring sites along Evacuation Creek, an intermittent stream that runs through part of the project site. Results of sampling from these wells indicate excess (above-standard) levels of phosphorus, aluminum, arsenic, cadmium, lead, phenol, and selenium, according to the EPA's Draft Environmental Impact Statement. Fieldwork conducted in 2013 confirmed data from previous years that there are no greater sage grouse or leks (breeding areas) located on the Enefit South private property or the BLM utility corridor. The U.S. government is evaluating these birds for potential listing as threatened under the Endangered Species Act, with a decision planned for 2015.
Enefit American Oil voluntarily worked with federal, state and local agencies to provide acreage for Penstemon Conservation Areas as part of a Penstemon Conservation Agreement designed to preserve habitat and support surveys and research for White River and Graham's penstemon (beardtongue). Along with other energy companies and working with the School Institutional Trusts Lands Association, its representatives required that certain areas remain "off limits" to those conservation areas before agreeing to participate. While the company claims that the two species are similar, in fact they are nothing alike. (In 1984 for example, Penstemon expert Noel Holmgren placed P. grahamii in Sect. 5 Cristati and P. scariosus var. albifluvis in Sect. 10 Glabri.) While both species grow on the Green River Formation, they each have a very narrow and limited distribution, and are not sympatric. In a controversial decision, on August 5, 2014, the Fish and Wildlife Service withdrew its proposal to list two plant species in eastern Utah and western Colorado as threatened and instead signed onto the 15-year federal-state-local Conservation Agreement designed to preserve habitat and support surveys and research for the plants. This agreement was not funded and was based on a term dictated not by science but rather by SITLA, documented by SITLA's own internal minutes and correspondence with the Fish & Wildlife Service; this agreement is currently being challenged
Cultural surveyors found and documented several artifacts from the historic mining days of the late 1800s, and paleontological researchers found animal, plant and insect fossils dating back several million years. EAO is working with the Utah Fieldhouse of Natural History in Vernal to share these findings, so everyone can learn about the history of the area.
According to an economic impact study, Enefit expects that by the mid-2050s more than 100,000 new jobs will have been added to the state's workforce from direct, indirect and induced spending to build and operate the Utah Project. Direct workforce is expected to number between 1,500 and 2,000 employees during this period; additional employment comes from contractors supplying the project and from "induced" jobs created to serve a larger community. Over the course of 30 years, that will result in about US$4 billion in wages and labor income and more than $8 billion in total contributions to Utah's gross domestic product.
According to an opinion survey conducted for Enefit American Oil in September and October 2013, most Utahns believe that energy production is very important to the local economy. When asked specifically if the respondents would support Enefit’s Utah Project, 59% of Utahns statewide and 84% of those in the Uintah Basin said yes. Achieving energy independence and providing jobs and other economic benefits were cited as the main reasons for people’s support. Research was conducted among 605 people throughout Utah to mirror the state's population and demographic distribution. Another 210 people – residents of Utah's Uintah Basin and nearby towns in western Colorado's Rio Blanco and Moffat counties – were contacted to determine if there are any major differences between opinions statewide and those in the area of greatest impact and benefit of Enefit's proposed project.

I present to you World’s 1st Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 Smartphone, it has a 15% faster CPU and 10% better GPU compared to Snapdragon 480+. You will be seeing this processor on almost all smartphones under Rs 15000, in fact, this processor supports 5G.
iQOO Z6 Lite 5G Price in India
iQOO Z6 Lite 5G price in India starts from Rs 13,999 for 4GB of Ram and 64GB storage while 6GB of Ram and 128GB storage variant is priced at Rs 15,499. The device will go for sale on 14th September 2022 via Amazon at noon.
iQOO is also offering IQOO Rs 2,500 discount on SBI Bank credit card and SBI Bank EMI transactions, this will be a limited offer.
iQOO Z6 Lite 5G Review
The iQOO Z6 Lite 5G is not for everyone because it only has a powerful processor and 5G support other than that, it’s just a normal smartphone with average cameras, only 18W charging support, plastic built, two 5G Bands, and full of bloatware. However, for the price of Rs 13999, it’s worth buying.
It only has n77 and n78 5G bands which is sufficient enough to use 5G connectivity in metro cities.
The Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 is a new processor from Qualcomm and it’s by far the best one, you will be more than happy with its performance whether it’s in gaming or even battery life.

The cameras are the weak part of the iQOO Z6 Lite 5G and iQOO didn’t even provide a charger in the box which is disappointing because this is a budget smartphone.
The single speaker doesn’t provide good sound quality but yes, it does have a 3.5mm Audio jack.
Concluding everything from price to specs, the iQOO Z6 Lite 5G is a good option for those who are looking for a budget 5G smartphone and don’t care much about cameras and build quality.
iQOO Z6 Lite 5G Pros and Cons
|Powerful Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 SoC||Full of Bloatware|

Now, if you’re wondering why this smartphone is looking too familiar is because iQOO has just copied the design of the iQOO Z6 5G.
Everything from display to build is the same as iQOO Z6 5G.
Now, the phone has an LCD panel means, it can’t have an in-display fingerprint sensor and that’s why IQOO has added the sensor on the right side.

The fingerprint sensor is fast and accurate, no issues there, it works like a normal side-mounted fingerprint sensor.
Here comes the 2019 back,
The IQOO Z6 Lite 5G has an iconic waterdrop notch which doesn’t look good at all, IQOO should have gone with a punch hole but they didn’t want to work much, so they just used the design they already had and because of that the save a little bit of money.
Now, the screen brightness could have been better, sometimes when using a smartphone outdoors, it gets hard to read small text.
However, the iQOO Z6 Lite 5G has a good LCD panel which could have been better.
iQOO Z6 Lite 5G: Performance
This will be the selling point of the iQOO Z6 Lite 5G, so let’s talk about it…
As I have said, the Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 has a 15% faster CPU and 10% better GPU compared to Snapdragon 480+. It’s also made on 6nm architecture which means, this is a power-efficient processor.
You will be able to play games like Apex Legends, COD Mobile, and PUBG New State at 50fps. I didn’t notice a frame drop during the gameplay but of course, if you play for a long time then you will notice frame drops here and there.
Even while using a smartphone in day-to-day life, the Fun Touch OS was working fine, I didn’t face any kind of problems while watching movies or even scrolling through apps like Instagram or YouTube.
IQOO has also promised 2 years of OS updates and 3 years of security updates.
The device comes with a full Full of Bloatware that can be uninstalled but still, you have to go through this even after paying Rs 13999.

By the way, it only has n77 and n78 5G bands which is sufficient enough to use 5G connectivity in metro cities.
In short, if you wanted a 5G smartphone under Rs 15000 and if you don’t care much about the Fun Touch OS then yes, you can consider the newly launched iQOO Z6 Lite 5G.
Again, Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 is a power-efficient processor, there is nothing to worry about the performance.
iQOO Z6 Lite 5G: Cameras
The iQOO Z6 Lite 5G has 50MP primary sensor and a 2MP depth sensor while there is an 8MP selfie shooter on the front. Both the rear as well as the front camera can shoot videos at 1080p@30/60fps.
It doesn’t have OIS and also for some reason, the night mode is only enabled on the 6GB RAM + 128GB storage variant, you won’t get it on the 4GB RAM + 64GB storage variant.
With your permission, let’s remove the 2MP depth sensor and talk about the 50MP primary sensor,
Now, the 50MP sensor does take good images under good lighting, the dynamic range was kind of okay and the details are also there. The sensor is trying to soften the images and add a bit of extra white colors on human skin, so yes, you will look more bright and more white.
The night mode is doing its job but still, the images under low lights had noise, and again, the colors were saturated, just like Vivo smartphones.
Yes, the sensor can be improved with an OTA update but that depends on iQOO, so let’s wait and see…
The iQOO Z6 Lite 5G has a hybrid SIM card slot which means you can either use two SIM cards or one SIM and microphone SD-card
The 8MP selfie shooter was kind of okay, it is taking white images, I mean, you don’t even have to apply the filter to post on Instagram.
As I have said, cameras are a weak part of iQOO Z6 Lite 5G but still, they’re not the worst too. They’re useable when there is a good light but if there is not enough light then, try not to use the cameras.
The videos don’t come out stable because it relies on EIS and looks like, IQOO didn’t optimize the video too well. So if you’re recording videos, don’t run fast, just walk and the videos will come out well under good lighting.
Overall, iQOO should have added an ultra-wide lens nevertheless, the cameras are not that bad or the best, they’re useable under good lighting.
Check out the Cameras Sample of iQOO Z6 Lite 5G (Google Drive)
iQOO Z6 Lite 5G: Audio
The IQOO Z6 Lite 5G doesn’t have stereo speakers, the single bottom speaker does work but again, it is a single speaker.
The Single speaker is not good that good but hey, this is a 5G smartphone, so you will have to compromise sometime.
Almost all 5G smartphone under Rs 15000 doesn’t provide faster charging, stereo speakers, punch hole display, metal frame, and good cameras. So you will have to compromise something to get something.
It doesn’t have a secondary noise-cancellation microphone but there is support for carrier aggregation too.
As this is a budget smartphone, so yes, IQOO has added a 3.5mm audio jack.
Overall, the sound quality is good and there are no issues with call quality too.
iQOO Z6 Lite 5G: Battery
The IQOO Z6 Lite 5G comes with a 5,000 mAh battery with 18W charging support. The 18W charger will take about 2 hours to charge from 0 to 100%.
Guess what, there is no charger in the box, buy a new one or use whatever you have at home that’s what iQOO is trying to say in a polite way.
Overall, the battery should last for the day because of the processor but in the end, it depends on you, and how you use your smartphone every day.
Now, I would have loved to see 30W charging speed but here also, IQOO did cost-cutting.
iQOO Z6 Lite 5G: Verdict
iQOO Z6 Lite 5G Review
Budget 5G smartphones are coming with lots of compromises and the iQOO Z6 Lite 5G is nothing new, it has lots of flow but still, the 5G connectivity will sell lots of units. In short, if you want a balanced smartphone then stay away from iQOO Z6 Lite 6G but if you want the best 5G smartphone under Rs 15000 then this could be a good option.
Still, if you have any kind of questions then feel free to comment, I would love to chat with you, and see you there.

‘One in a Million’ is cool for music lovers
ONE IN A MILLION WAS COOL
The second in a series of shows spotlighting reigning giants and past legends in Bermuda's entertainment world took place at the Four Ways Inn on Sunday.
It was billed as 'One in a Million', and proved to be just that, 'cool' for the enthusiastic music lovers who braved the blustery weather applauding the renderings of The Max Maybury and Eugene (Stacker) Joell Duo and celebrity guest Gita Blakeney-Saltus and the Toni Bari Band.
Any one of foregoing individually could have sustained the audience for the three-hour show, but they were forced to make room on the tightly-scripted programme for the likes of dancer Mitchelle (Livewires) Trott, and the very young Ming Mango salsa and bachata dancers Kaelin Cox and Makala Wilson. Applause-wise, they actually stole the show.
'Livewires' Trott, at age five, began performing publicly as a gombey dancer, graduating to playing saxophone, singing and dancing in Shine Hayward's Sophisticated Gents Band. He is now part-owner of Vibetribe Records Production.
His dance, the opening act of the show, accompanied by Jules Roberts, one of the original of Ital Foundation, Bermuda's number one Roots Reggae Band, proved to be the ideal pacesetter for the evening.
Also there were a number of bright, up-and-coming stars given a chance by the promoters to shadow the legends, including pre-teens keyboarder Sean Adderley and Malik Alick. Another bonus for the patrons was the serving of an early light supper including a Caesar salad starter and dessert.
Show sponsors were MP Dale Butler, head of the Atlantic Publishing House, and Darlene Hartley of Mytime Productions. She was the ever-effervescent mistress of ceremonies. The show was under the distinguished patronage of Mickey Robinson of Medical House Ltd. Special guests were Tourism Minister Wayne Furbert and wife Eulene; Leroy Simmons, president of the Bermuda Federation of Musicians and Entertainers; legend June Caisey; and overseas visitors staying in various hotels.
Captions for five pics show legend June Caisey; saxophonist Max Maybury; guitarist Eugene 'Stacker' Joell; the show-stealing Ming Mango salsa and bachata dancers Kaelin Cox and Makala Wilson; and members of the Filipino Club 2000 who voluntarily enhanced the Four Ways Inn concert room with a lively jazz theme and portraits of Bermuda legends. They are Shirley Navarro, Macks Adderley, Ghenie Edwards, Evelyn Collado and Marrah Butler.

Echoes of Mercy
Sometimes a secret must be kept for the truth to be revealed.
When a suspicious accident occurs at the famous Dinsmore Chocolate Factory in Sinclair, Kansas, Caroline Lang goes undercover as a factory worker to investigate the circumstances surrounding the event and how the factory treats its youngest employees—the child workers. Caroline’s fervent faith, her difficult childhood, and compassionate heart drove her to her job as an investigator for the Labor Commission and she is compelled to see children freed from such heavy adult responsibilities, to allow them to pursue an education.
Oliver Dinsmore, heir to the Dinsmore candy dynasty, has his own investigation to conduct. Posing as a common worker known as “Ollie Moore,” he aims to find out all he can about the family business before he takes over for his father. Caroline and Oliver become fast friends, but tension mounts when the two find themselves at odds about the roles of child workers. Hiding their identities becomes even more difficult when fate brings them together over three children in desperate need. When all is revealed, will the truth destroy the love starting to grow between them?
It is very important to know where you belong. In this novel by Kim Vogel Sawyer, the reader meets Amy Knackstedt, devoted Mennonite, when she is showing their new home to her three children, Bekah (13), Parker (11) and Kim Sawyer knows what her readers expect and delivers it in Echoes of Mercy, a story you won’t soon forget with characters who grab your heart and a plot that keeps the pages turning.
author of Love Stays True in The Homeward Journey series
Best-selling author Kim Vogel Sawyer pens an exceptional and utterly compelling story that shines a light on the appalling practices of child labor in the early 1900s. Her characters are richly drawn and heartbreakingly human. Echoes of Mercy is one of those novels readers won’t soon forget. I highly recommend it.
author of the Road to Kingdom series
In Echoes of Mercy, Kim Vogel Sawyer reveals the plight of working-class children and blends it with the perfect romance teeming with conflict and sprinkled with sweetness. As always with Ms. Sawyer’s work, the believable characters add reality to the strong, unique story line, and I found myself reluctant to put the book down. I was drawn in quickly and was held throughout the entire story. This is one I guarantee you’ll enjoy.

Sometimes, as investors, we can lose sight of the bigger picture. We can get caught up in the latest fad and complex indicators, hoping to get an edge. In reality, we may be better off simply observing what the majority of the market and other investors are doing, then just do the opposite.
Far too many people focus on trying to beat the market, and in doing so end up trailing the market. I remember reading an obscure tidbit of information about Peter Lynch’s flagship, the Magellan Fund. While Lynch managed it, he successfully returned over 15% annually for 15 years. Yet, the average investor in the fund actually had a far lower return – lower than the average return of the S&P500 over the same time frame!
Why? This happened because investors tried to time the market, believing they were better at investing than Peter Lynch! Yet, their results clearly demonstrated they were not.
Knowing this, investing can become quite simple. Observe what the majority does and simply do the opposite. If the majority loses money or trails the market, then by default doing the opposite will position you for a greater chance of making money and beating the market.
My favorite way of positioning myself is to buy stock in companies that have a proven track record of being boring, but consistent, cash-generating machines that the market is mis-pricing because of secondary factors.
Currently, I see several opportunities that meet the criteria for long-term investing. They:
Are big companies that are dominant in their industry
Produce excellent amounts of free cash flow
Manage investor capital well – they understand their sole function is to make a profit for shareholders and have a good track record of demonstrating this
Have good financial metrics
My first choice is Pfizer Inc. (NYSE:PFE)
Pfizer is the undisputed giant in the drug industry. With a market cap of over $200 billion, it’s a force to be reckoned with. There are small biotech companies out there that may strike it well with an obscure trial and see share prices increase 10 fold overnight. But, a company like Pfizer has stability and high quality earnings that few can match.
Pfizer Inc. (NYSE:PFE) has a deep and wide pipeline of new products in various stages of trials working to come to market. One of Pfizer’s strengths is that the company isn’t just relying on one specific trial; it’s working on several key drugs for key conditions, but the company also has breadth. Profitability isn’t hinged on the outcome of any one trial.
Pfizer’s financials are in excellent condition. It boasts very conservative valuation metrics and excellent returns on capital and assets. Pfizer Inc. (NYSE:PFE)’s price earnings ratio (P/E) is less than 12. Its operation profit margin is 32%. Management is effective, producing a return on equity (ROE) of nearly 12%, which is particularly good, especially in an industry with capital intensive drug trials.
If this isn’t enough, consider that Pfizer’s operating free cash flow is an impressive $17 billion per annum.
When all is said and done, in the long term it’s earnings that underpin a share price. When a company like Pfizer has numbers like these, I think it’s hard to go wrong by taking up a long-term position and letting time run away from you. As Buffett said, “it is when the tide goes out you find out who’s been swimming naked.” If the tide goes out, Pfizer Inc. (NYSE:PFE) is probably a swimsuit you want to own!
My second pick is Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE:XOM)
It’s for a very good reason that Exxon Mobile is the world’s largest company – it’s in an industry with staggering, sustained demand and they are very, very good at what they do.
Exxon is truly an excellent manager of capital, particularly when you consider the scale at which they operate. It’s not a matter of allocating just a couple million dollars to some promising projects. Instead, Exxon manages hundreds of billions of dollars of capital, and does so at great benefit to their shareholders.
Consider some of Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE:XOM)’s numbers
Think about it – Exxon produces approximately $800 million of profit each week! This is mind-boggling, to say the least. Think of it this way: imagine getting $3 every week from every single person living in the United States – that’s comparable to the profit Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE:XOM) produces.
I find it hard to see how the demand for oil and natural gas can significantly decline over the next 10 years. With over 70 million people being added to the population each year, the demand for fuel will only grow.
Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE:XOM) continues to position well for this. Producing a 28% ROE demonstrates, at least to me, that senior management knows what they are doing. Even when you take into account the core product, oil, is subject to an enormous number of external influences, Exxon is still able to consistently product healthy profits.
Exxon is carrying approximately $11 billion of debt, but, relative to its size, this is not a worrying figure. This is especially true when you consider the company’s operating free cash flow for the last 12 months was $57 billion.
I think it’s fair to say that Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE:XOM) has significant capacity to expand and acquire and develop new projects, if management views them as adding value. I think if an investor were to buy Exxon today at its current 9.15 PE, and hold it for 10 years, they would most likely be sitting on a handsome return at the end of that decade.


The Lofts cooking brings another runDecember 27, 2018
From Local Sources
JASPER — Members of the Jasper Volunteer Fire Department responded to a second-floor smoke detector activation Wednesday evening at The Lofts of Jasper, 1300 Dewey Street.
Fire Chief Kenny Hochgesang said the 6:06 p.m. run involved a toasted cheese sandwich left on a stove until it blackened and smoked. There was no fire.
It was the third time other residents had to evacuate the complex because the woman in the second-floor apartment had left food cooking on the stove, Hochgesang said.
“All the residents were outside with their children and families waiting to re-enter,” the chief said. “We had to get the alarm reset to they could come back in.”
The smoke dissipated and there was no damage.
Three trucks and 18 firefighters were on the scene 25 minutes.
The department also logged a short run Tuesday evening in which there was no damage.
An alarm activation at 6:47 p.m. sent firefighters to the Ryan and Blayr Kramer residence at 533 University Drive.
Hochgesang said one truck and 14 firefighters responded after it was reported the run involved a faulty smoke detector.
Firefighters who ensured there was no other problem were on the scene 10 minutes.

It is called “The Original Counter-Argument.” And for the subtitle you’ll need to inhale some air:
“The Founders’ Case Against the Constitution and Warnings of Despotism, Adapted for the 21st Century.”
Quick synopsis: I’ve taken the key letters, essays, and speeches from those Founders who were against the ratification of the U.S. Constitution back in 1787-88 and translated them into modern English.
Because their words were prophetic! They warned about consolidating all of the various state governments into a single national government, that it would lead to waste, abuse, and even tyranny. And that was at a time when the population of the United States was 78 times smaller than it is today!
I’ve learned so much from translating these works. I cannot wait to share it with you. I am releasing it on September 17, 2012, which will be the 225th anniversary of the Signing of the Constitution in Philadelphia. But that day was just the beginning…
I’ll have more to say as the date gets closer. Here’s a link to the pre-order page at Amazon:

Home Trend: Keeping It Green
page 2 of 2
Inside a prefabricated house by LivingHomes
Innovation is taking place among green thinkers in many areas. Steven Ehrlich of Ehrlich Architects—headquartered in Culver City—sees current trends expanding even further. “In the future I think we’ll see glass that produces electricity,” he says. “We’ll also see greater embracing of operable sunshade devices on the exteriors of buildings.”
As for eco-centric interior designers, they’re no longer curiosities in their field. Their options have expanded—almost enough to match their imaginations.
Alison Shoemaker, who started Los Angeles-based Alison Designs in 2003 after years of working for other designers, specializes in a “green and gorgeous” look. “I think the biggest thing is that beige is out,” says Shoemaker. “The green movement used to be so beige and granolalooking. A lot of that had to do with how they had to recycle things then. Everything just came out looking the same—beige, beige, beige.
“There’s finally been a lot of movement in color. You go into [organic] furniture stores and upholstery places, and you’ll find great colors in fabrics,” she says. “A lot of paint companies, too, have gone mainstream with a ‘green’ palette. You can get just about any color now in green paint.”
LA-based interior designer Lori Dennis is another who is glad the creative shackles have been taken off in terms of available products, and she is now free to go green with abandon. “Maybe 10 years ago you couldn’t find a luxury, high-end product,” says Dennis. “We were limited to bamboo fabric, bamboo flooring, plywood made with recycled-content wood—things that were so unattractive you couldn’t sell them to a high-end client. Now you can go into the Pacific Design Center and find high-end French-looking woven patterns or Spanish things you wouldn’t think would be green. They’re found in almost every showroom.”
After a structure has been conceived, that’s where specialists including Andrea Robinson come in. She is the founder and director of ARC Sustainability in Los Angeles. Basically, she comes in and “greens” a residence or business, advising clients on the choice of building materials, energy systems, water-saving mechanisms and more. One of the major factors she focuses on is helping to change the behavior of her clients in order to save energy and be more eco-efficient. “I just finished a solar project for a residence,” she says. “It was ridiculous how much energy [the client] was using. He would leave his screen door open while the air conditioner was on to let his pet in and out, so we designed a special pet door. Little, silly things like that make a huge impact.”

The Beatles sell 5 million songs on iTunes
The Loop reports that The Beatles have sold 5 million songs and 1 million albums since going on sale in the iTunes Store last November. So far, the most popular Beatles song download is "Here Comes the Sun," while the band's top-selling album is "Abbey Road."
Last week we reported that The Beatles' surviving band members (and the estates of John and George) got a special royalty deal from Apple in order to get The Beatles on the iTunes Store. As part of that deal, The Beatles will reportedly earn between 18 to 22.5 cents per track sold on iTunes. With 5 million individual tracks sold so far, that equates to a cool $900,000 to $1.125 million profit for The Beatles for just seven weeks of sales. Not a bad gig if you can get it.

MOMOFUKU plus Midtown — will this compute? The Momofuku siblings (Noodle Bar, Ko, Ssam Bar and Milk Bar), all within a few blocks of one another in the East Village, and headed by David Chang, are known for unleashing innovative, intensely flavored food in offhanded settings.
Tien Ho, 35, left, chef de cuisine at Ssam Bar, will be taking over an as-yet-unnamed bilevel Momofuku restaurant that is expected to open in the Chambers Hotel in the late fall.
Mr. Chang’s previous restaurants have drawn on Korean and Japanese flavors, often stirred with a little Southern comfort, like Virginia ham and fried pies. This new place will also have French and Vietnamese influences that bring together strands of Mr. Ho’s biography.
He was born in Vietnam in 1973, and came to Houston with his family when he was 9. He graduated from the University of Texas with a degree in philosophy; was talked out of culinary school by a Belgian chef in Austin who provided a rigorous apprenticeship in the classics; moved to New York and worked as a sous-chef for Café Boulud and then at Café Gray before joining Momofuku in 2006.
“There will be a banh mi, there will be pâté made from Bev Eggleston’s pork,” he said, citing dishes that meld Asian flavors, Western technique and the restaurant’s commitment to the farmers it supports. “I’ve always wanted to do a really soigné version of pho, with marrow bones,” he said, reeling off the Vietnamese soup’s aromatics: onions, garlic, cinnamon, black pepper, star anise and a smattering of fennel seeds.
He’s also working with the butcher DeBragga & Spitler on a cut of steak — the culotte — that might play the juicy role of hanger steak on his menu. (It’s sliced from the tri-tip.)Continue reading the main story
“There’s only about 2 pounds of hanger on a 1,200-pound steer,” he said. “I’m not interested in being meat-trendy, but I’m interested in helping our farmers sell us every part of their animals.”
Mr. Ho said the new place might have coffee and dessert (a first for a new Momofuku restaurant), but that luxurious accouterments like tablecloths remain unlikely: it will be more bustling cafe than hushed temple.
“Big comfortable chairs and coffee encourage lounging, which loses me 20 minutes on each table, which brings prices up,” Mr. Ho said earnestly. “People think it’s weird, but it’s all part of the philosophy.”
An article last Wednesday about Tien Ho, who will be the chef de cuisine at a restaurant opening in the Chambers Hotel, misstated his age. He is 35, not 31. (The article correctly noted that he was born in 1973.)

How often X-rays (radiographs) should be taken depends on the patient's individual health needs. It is important to recognize that just as each patient is different from the next, so should the scheduling of X-ray exams be individualized for each patient. Your dentist will review your history, examine your mouth and then decide whether you need radiographs and what type. If you are a new patient, the dentist may recommend radiographs to determine the present status of the hidden areas of your mouth and to help analyze changes that may occur later. If you have had recent radiographs at your previous dentist, your new dentist may ask you to have the radiographs forwarded.
The schedule for needing radiographs at recall visits varies according to your age, risk for disease and signs and symptoms. Recent films may be needed to detect new cavities, or to determine the status of gum disease or for evaluation of growth and development.
Dentists are supposed to be taking care of you. It would be impossible for the state to write a law to cover every procedure that happens in a dental office. However, the Arizona State Board of Dental Examiners does require a dentist to provide services according to an appropriate standard of care. There are guidelines for prescribing dental radiographs published by the FDA and the ADA. In order to do a complete examination, a dentist is required to take x-rays, since a large percentage of the conditions affecting the teeth are not detectable by visual examination. If a dentist fails to take periodic x-rays, and does an incomplete examination, and "didn't take care of you," he could be cited for unprofessional conduct by the dental board.

Time: 9:00 am - 2:00 pm
Place: Sheraton Boston Back Bay
AMSC continues to hit setbacks with today’s announcement that it has cut 20 percent of its staff in an attempt to move the Devens-based wind technology firm toward profitability. News of the layoffs come one month after the company abandoned plans made in March to buy Finnish company The Switch Engineering Oy for $265 million after it was unable to raise enough money.
AMSC (Nasdaq: AMSC) said the job cuts, which impacted roles in all of its geographic regions, would cost the company $3 million in related restructuring costs. Overall, however, it expects to save more than $50 million annually.
The company manufactures components and wiring for clean energy systems, and has been involved in a legal dispute with Chinese wind developer Sinovel Wind Group Co. Ltd. over contracted but unpaid product orders and alleged corporate espionage by Sinovel. In April, Sinovel refused to accept contracted shipments of 1.5-megawatt and 3-megawatt wind turbine core electrical components and spare parts. Mass High Tech reported in May 2010 that AMSC expected problems if Sinovel ever pulled back shipments. The AMSC fiscal 2009 annual report indicated that if Sinovel were to cancel purchase orders or development contracts, or discontinue future purchases, “we would likely be unable to replace the related revenues.” The two companies have worked together since 2005.
Known until mid-October as American Superconductor Corp., the company renamed to AMSC to better reflect its “continued diversification” with various offerings and the expansion of operations beyond the U.S. borders.

North Korea fires missiles during training exercise
Wednesday, March 8, 2006
The sources, however, dispute where those missiles were launched. An "Asian security source" stated that the missiles may have been launched in the direction of China by mistake, and landed just inside the North Korean border. A "Western military source", however, claimed that they were launched to the east, in the direction of the, but still says they landed in North Korean territory.
North Korea surprised the world when it launched a Japan in 1998. Since then, it has conducted many missile tests, including a dense battery of land-to-ship missile tests in 2003 when tensions rose over its possible possession of . It is believed to be developing a ballistic missile that could reach Alaska, Hawaii, or even the continental United States.over northern
