Adams helps prepare for Gamecocks
Published 4:50 pm Thursday, September 15, 2016
GREENVILLE — The x-factor in Saturday’s clash between East Carolina and South Carolina won’t make a throw, break off a big run or register a crucial tackle. Instead, he’ll be standing on the sideline coaching the Pirates defensive line.
Deke Adams is less than a year removed from the Gamecocks’ coaching staff where he coached the defensive line for three seasons before Steve Spurrier and his staff were replaced.
He’ll return to Williams-Brice Stadium in just a few days, lining up on the opposing sideline. Still though, it’ll be a homecoming of sorts for Adams, as his family still resides near Columbia.
“The main thing is that my family is still down there so it’ll be great to see my family,” Adams said. “But the biggest part for us is that we’re going down to handle business.”
Perhaps the biggest asset Adams can provide the Pirates this week is his insight on strengths and weaknesses of South Carolina’s personnel — specifically on the defensive line.
“We had a personnel meeting with Deke on both sides of the ball where I sat in, and I got my notes from that personnel meeting,” head coach Scottie Montgomery said. “He knows a lot about those kids. He knows what they play for, how they play and what positions that they feel more comfortable at, so we got a great amount of intel from Deke. We’re really happy he’s on our staff.”
Though Montgomery admitted Adams’ is a key figure in game planning, the defensive coach was much more coy about the role he’s playing this week, calling it simply a business trip.
“They’re a good football team, they have a good coaching staff,” Adams said. “For us, we’re going to just prepare our kids the same way each and every week. We’re going down to play a great team in a great environment so it’ll be fun.
Senior defensive tackle Demetri McGill hopes to perhaps follow in the path of some of Adams’ pupils that made the jump to the NFL. For now, the 6-foot-1 lineman is leaning on his coach’s experience to help him overcome the Southeastern Conference size that the Gamecocks boast.
“It’s a big advantage,” McGill said. “He knows the ins and outs. He’s watched the offensive line for two years and he knows what they can do and what they can’t do.”
Adams, who oversaw All-Americans Jadeveon Clowney and Kelcy Quarles while in Columbia, will get to see a handful of former players during the return trip. It’s a moment that he admits will be bittersweet.
“I figured out a long time ago that there’s more to this business than just the game of football,” he said. “I love those kids and I look forward to seeing those kids and hugging some of them and battling against them.”

The Master may seem like a movie of more questions and suggestions than answers and clarity, but the sheer beauty of its composition and the intensity of its central performances are enough.
The Master is nothing less than literature in movie form; a complexly layered (and often baffling) novel of a film, centered around the character of Freddie Quell (Joaquin Phoenix), a WWII Naval veteran trying to find his place in the world of post-war America. Clearly disturbed (both mentally, emotionally and spiritually), Freddie floats from one menial job to another, trying to find peace, but ultimately sabotaging himself time and again through a combination of unrestrained hedonism (imbibing homemade booze, ogling every girl he can) and a violent, volatile anger that erupts at the slightest prompt.
One night, Freddie happens aboard the yacht of one Lancaster Dodd (Philip Seymour Hoffman), an eccentric and charismatic man who has fathered "The Cause," a group built on radical concepts like past lives, sci-fi mythology and Freudian psychotherapy "processing" techniques. Freddie and Lancaster quickly form a bond, as the self-styled "Master" tries to tame wild Freddie and mold him into a shining example of The Cause's transformative power. Freddie at first thinks he's found a surrogate family to harbor him - but as he learns more about The Master and his cause, doubt comes creeping back to disrupt Quell's brief tranquility.
As stated, The Master is cinema deserving of comparison to high literature. The film is never working on just one level (by my count it's working on at least two levels at any given moment) and is packed to the brim with enough allusion, symbolism, metaphor and thematic implication to keep you peeling back layers and discovering new things many years and viewings later. Like good literature, the film is unconcerned with accommodating the need for easy explanations and obvious meanings - it instead challenges the viewer to raise their bar for inference and analysis. Of course, the ambiguities of the narrative will ultimately frustrate some, who struggle to see any kind of overarching point or development in the film.
It's hard to claim that there is lack of focus or direction to The Master though, since auteur filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson (There Will Be Blood, Magnolia, Boogie Nights) has crafted this film with such a masterful hand (sorry, couldn't resist). Anderson has already established himself as one of the great Americana filmmakers to emerge out of the last few decades, and The Master is undoubtedly his most gorgeous and sophisticated visual opus yet. Shot in 65mm (and displayed in some theaters in 70mm print), the visual scope of the film is literally twice the size of most movies, and Anderson (working with cinematographer Mihai Malaimare Jr., who replaces longtime PTA collaborator Robert Elswit) fills that extra space with picturesque imagery that will be burned into memory - whether you fully comprehend its meaning or not. From a sequence of Freddie running across a plowed field, to a spectacular shot of him passed out atop a Naval battleship while sailors below toss things up at him - this film could be viewed without sound and it would still tell a beautiful and captivating story.
While the narrative through line can be extremely hard to grasp, Anderson's script is nonetheless crafted with an exactness and authority that assures depth and reward for those willing to dig deep. The movie is sectioned into three acts, each headlined by a recurring image of water (at times churning violently, at times flowing serenely) trailing in the wake of some unseen vessel. Like much else in the film, the metaphor and/or symbolism is debatable, but each act (in my view) ties to Freddie's quest to ease some unspoken, but ever-present spiritual unrest (as represented by the water). In Lancaster Dodd and his Cause, Freddie finds a family and possible purpose to his life - but that peace quickly begins to unravel as doubt about The Master's intentions and validity as a spiritual leader come into view.
This is the heart of Anderson's story: Freddie (as a symbol of the Freudian id? Existentialist confusion or the repressed trauma of a post-war cultural psyche?) is attracted to Lancaster's charisma, and Lancaster (the Freudian ego? Fanaticism? Nihilsm hiding behind fanatical rhetoric?) is attracted to Freddie's unbridled, wild freedom (in the way the ego admires the id). Amy Adams, as the quietly fearsome Master's wife, does what she can to keep Freddie and his heathen behaviors from lowering the idealized stature of would-be "better man" Lancaster (like the super-ego battling the id for direction of the ego). This struggle between the three principle characters is a slow burn, but scene-to-scene the superb performances of the leads is nothing short of riveting. Watching the understated arc of their conflict will be fascinating to some, but utterly boring to others who prefer more dynamic (and pronounced) action and development.
Joaquin Phoenix arguably surpasses the greatness of Daniel Day-Lewis in There Will Be Blood. Freddie Quell is a fascinating and frightening (if not likable) character to study, and Phoenix loses himself entirely in the role - down to the strained posture, madman facial ticks and a storm of fury always lurking behind soft, deadened eyes. Hoffman is a good match for Phoenix, and scenes between Lancaster and Freddie (in particular, a scene where Lancaster interviews/psychoanalyzes Freddie as part of "processing") are electric to watch; though, admittedly, the Lancaster/Freddie plotline comes to a somewhat underwhelming close, and is often as muddled as it is interesting. The more unexpected fireworks come from Amy Adams as Peggy Dodd, with her cutesy looks turned on their head to conceal the icy fanaticism of a true believer. Though her presence is often ethereal, the times where Peggy comes front and center to impose her indomitable will are as startling and frightening as they are captivating.
Other famous (or soon to be famous) faces pop up here and there, but The Master is, essentially, a three-person circus. There Will Be Blood composer Johnny Grennwood's discordant tunes once again transform the most innocent of moments into something seemingly intense, depraved or dangerous - often serving as an audible cue as to what we should be noticing in a particular image, some level of meaning that the music provides a clue to. The score also establishes strong ties between Blood and Master, with the latter almost serving as a companion piece to the former - which only further hints that there are many PTA signature themes (family, the historical roots of modern America's cultural values and beliefs) waiting to be unearthed.
In the end, The Master may seem like a movie of more questions and suggestions than answers and clarity, but the sheer beauty of its composition and the intensity of its central performances are enough to elevate it above most films. Upon repeated viewings, when the layers start to get peeled back and the true exploration of the film can begin, I believe The Master will sit in a class reserved for the highest forms of cinema. You may not "get" all of it the first time around, but that won't keep it from taking root somewhere deep in your mind - like the hypnotizing rhythm of a cult mantra.
(P.S. - As always, Anderson closes his film with an indelible final line of dialogue. Just try to unhear it once you've heard it.)
The Master is now playing in expanded release. It is Rated R for sexual content, graphic nudity and language.

Planning is under way for yet another bridge replacement project near downtown Naperville.
The public is invited to a 7 p.m. Thursday meeting to comment on plans for replacing the Jefferson Avenue Bridge, which crosses the West Branch of the DuPage River just west of downtown. City engineers will discuss tentative design plans for the bridge in Meeting Rooms B and C on the lower level of the Municipal Center, 400 S. Eagle St.
"In the preliminary engineering study, the report noted two key issues," said John Verzal, project engineer. "The bridge's condition has deteriorated, and the location of the current bridge is not in good alignment." Those findings mean that the bridge most likely will be completely replaced, Verzal said.
The current structure was built in 1962 and has a 30-to-40-year life expectancy. The cost of constructing the new bridge could run about $1.25 million, he said, with 80 percent of the funding coming from the federal bridge repair and replacement program. The remaining 20 percent would be funded by the City of Naperville.
A key concern for officials is the timing of the bridge's replacement in conjunction with the replacement of the Main Street Bridge. Both are tentatively scheduled to be closed and rebuilt in 2004. "We're keenly aware that we don't want both bridges to be closed at the same time," Verzal said.
The public will be able to review and comment on the proposed bridge design, which incorporates one lane of traffic in each direction, bike lanes and pedestrian sidewalks with protective barriers.

I looked in the recipe section but couldn't find one. I don't think I can make cream chees fillings but I'm looking for one that is orange tasting. Does anyone have one they would share with me? Thanks.
Can anyone help me with this?
If you have ever made the "mock twinkie" filling, make that and add orange extract (and orange food coloring if you want). It's make a fantastic fluffy orange filling. (if you add vanilla as well, it tastes like a creamcicle). I just add the flavorings to taste (which for me, is a lot!). Good luck!
I made an orange-flavored SMBC for my mother's birthday cake. I just made the recipe up as usual and then added a touch of vanilla extract, a touch of orange extract, and the zest from two oranges. (I flavored the whole batch, it took that much but I started with the zest from just one!) It worked beautifully, it came out super-delicious. I had left over, even--until Mom started putting extra on the cake each time she took a slice!
Thanks! I'll give them a try!
there is a dreamsicle cheescake recipe on this site that is fantastic!!! I have used it in a trifle and I think it would make a great filling.
Creamsicle?! Oh my gosh! I HAVE to try this! What kind of cake do you typically use it on? I'm drooling My dad would flip. me, hubby and dad all love Creamsicles
I love the DREAMSCICLE recipe that was submitted to CC. I have used it as a filling in choc. cups and as part of a trifle. It tasted fantastic!!! If I want to lighten it up a little or stretch it out in a large trifle bowl I will add some extra cool whip to it. I have never brought this recipe anywhere and not come home with an empty container. Fantastic!!! I think it would make an excellent filling for a cake, just be careful you don't eat it all before you finish the cake!!

text: ||A nursing program at a medium-sized, northeastern, U.S. Catholic university has participated in an educational relationship with the Sultanate of Oman's Ministry of Health to provide higher education to nurses from Oman since 1994. The literature regarding the experience of Arab-Muslim women and Arab-Muslim international students studying in the U.S is limited. This study relied on phenomenological inquiry to determine the experience of female nurses from the Sultanate of Oman studying in the U.S. The following themes emerged from female Omani BSN completion students' interviews: Going Abroad, Studying in America; Living in the U.S.; Being Arab-Muslim; and Growing. Studying nursing in the U.S. was a transforming experience for the Omani women. They studied nursing in the U.S. without the constant presence of their family members. They traveled in the area surrounding the University alone; they made purchases, managed their finances, and made decisions while they were away from their families. The Omani women learned to manage different academic expectations, teaching strategies, and classroom behaviors while studying in America. As Arab-Muslim women living in the U.S., they maintained their religious and cultural practices; experienced anti-Muslim sentiments; learned to view the world in a different way; and experienced being a minority. Through the women's experiences they had the opportunity to grow personally and professionally. This study adds to the international nursing student literature and offers strategies to support female Omani nursing students psychosocial, pedagogical, and daily living needs. Omani nursing students have unique educational and personal needs. Nursing faculty and university student support services could promote Omani student transition and educational experience while in the U.S. The teaching, assessment, and support strategies that were described could be used with other female Middle Eastern nursing students.

This past Spring, San Leandro Unified published its Graduate Profile, a document truly developed by the entire community, that outlines the skills and qualities of the ideal graduate of our schools. We can call it the North Star of our educational system. It carries the principles that will guide our work, and is the promise our school district makes to our students and community - it's what we promise to do for you.
So what does the graduate profile mean for Project Based Learning? Well, Project Based Learning aims to develop both academic skills and those less tangible assets we want our students to develop. For example, we want students to think critically, and we also want them to develop the flexibility to collaborate with people who have diverse perspectives.
We left the 2017-2018 school year wondering what the signs are that tell us that students are learning. Other than listening and looking for markers like use of academic terms or demonstration of specific skills, we didn't have the language to name the other competencies we were looking for.
The graduate profile fills this gap. It provides us all with the goals we can work towards and the language we can use to identify it when we see it. It also allows our teachers to more strategically design their teaching and learning experiences to build towards these outcomes. Let's look at an example.
San Leandro High School Physics teacher Nick Sigmon kicked off the 2018-2019 school year with a project focused on concussions. It's a physics project that allows students to learn about force, impact, and motion through the real-world context of football, head injuries, and safety. In this project, students develop and test designs for a football helmet that can reduce the amount of force and motion that impacts a person's head upon contact. The video here shows some of the teaching practices and learning experiences involved in the project. As you watch, see if you can identify some of the traits of our ideal graduate being developed through the project.
Here's what we notice:
Students are collaboratively constructing knowledge in the room with the support of the teacher; students are able to teach each other, and it's all done in a real-world context. Ultimately, the learning the student do transcends the classroom space, and prepares them for life beyond our high school community. SLUSD's Graduate Profile and Project Based learning work hand in hand; it's a tool that allows us to more intelligently design with the end in mind.

Published on Nov 28, 2023
Despite seemingly endless increases in the amount of storage and ever decreasing costs of hardware, managing storage is still expensive. Additionally, users continue to fill increasingly larger disks, worsened by the proliferation of large multimedia files and high-speed broadband networks. Storage requirements are continuing to grow at a rate of 50% a year.
Worse, existing hard disk technology is reaching physical limitations, making it harder and costlier to meet growing user demands . Storage management costs have remained a significant component of total storage costs. Even in the '70s, storage costs at IBM were several times more than hardware costs, and projected that they would reach ten times the cost of the hardware. Today, management costs are five to ten times the cost of underlying hardware and are actually increasing as a proportion of cost because administrators have a limited amount of storage each can manage. Up to 47% of storage costs are associated with administrators manually manipulating files .
Thankfully, significant savings are possible: studies show that over 20% of all files--representing over half of the storage-are regenerable . Other studies, indicate that 82%-85% of storage is allocated to files that have not been accessed in more than a month. The studies shows that storage management has been a problem in a past, continues to be a problem today, and is only getting worse--all despite growing disk sizes.
Recent trends have begun to address the management of storage through virtualization . Morris put forth the idea of Autonomic Computing, which includes "the system's ability to adjust to its configuration and resource allocation to achieve predetermined goals" . Elastic Quota system is designed to help the management problem via efficient allocation of storage while allowing users maxi-mal freedom, all with minimal administrator intervention.
Elastic quotas enter users into an agreement with the system: users can exceed their quota while space is available, under the condition that the system will be able to automatically re-claim the storage when the need arises. Users or applications may designate some files as elastic. When space runs short, the elastic quota system (Equota) may reclaim space from those files marked as elastic; nonelastic files maintain existing semantics and are accounted for in users' persistent quotas . This report focuses on policies for elastic space reclamation and is organized as follows.
Section 2 describes the overall architecture of the policy system. Section 3 discusses the various elastic quota policies. In Section 4 we discuss interesting implementation aspects of Elastic Quota. Section 5 presents measurements and performance results of various policies. Section 6 discusses work related to storage space management policies. Finally, Section 7 presents some concluding remarks and directions for future work.
The primary design goals were to allow for versatile and efficient elastic quota policy management. An additional goal was to avoid changes to the existing OS to support elastic quotas. To achieve versatility the Elastic Quota system is designed with a flexible policy management configuration language for use by administrators and users; a number of user-level and kernel features exist to support this flexibility.
To achieve efficiency the design allows the system to run as a kernel file system with DB3 databases accessible to the user-level tools. Finally, the design uses a stackable file system to ensure that there is no need to modify existing file systems such as Ext3

The internet is an important source of mental health information. Given variable literacy levels in the general public, patient information websites need to be easily readable to prevent misunderstanding and consequent misinformation about mental health problems being propagated. the aim was to ascertain the readability of websites containing patient information about schizophrenia. Twenty websites containing patient information about schizophrenia generated by Google® were analysed for Flesch Reading Ease and Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level.
According to standardised Flesch Reading Ease classification, 40% of the selected sites were classified as very difficult, 55% as difficult and 5% as fairly difficult. None were considered easy to read. There was a negative correlation of 70.798 (P < 0.001) between Flesch Reading Ease and Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level, which demonstrates the reliability of these results.
Easily accessed schizophrenia information websites do not score highly for readability. Those that produce websites should bear readability in mind when writing them in order to construct more readable sites. Ideally, these should be accredited by recognised organisations that evaluate readability. Clinicians should assess website information for readability before recommending them to patients or carers.

a surreal collection of futurist short stories chronicling the horrors that the near future could bring thanks to the absurdities of corporate, consumer and commodity culture. These stories stand, not only as a warning of the Post-Modern hell we have created, but also the dehumanizing and enslaving effect of the technology we put up with that forever promises to make our lives better. These stories read like a Terry Gilliam film or episodes of Black Mirror. George Saunders seems to be channeling a bit of Kurt Vonnegut and Philip K. Dick but with a power and command of the language that is uniquely his own. What makes these short stories truly chilling is that these absurdities of existence seem somehow possible in the near future.

Not Bengal cats; they're full-on Bengal tigers. Two-year-old Enzo is a nearly fully grown tiger while Ozzy, the latest addition to the family, is practically still a kitten at 7 months old (a kitten large enough to eat you). Ozzy was rescued from a neglectful owner who fed him a diet lacking in the proper amount of calcium, which has caused Ozzy to suffer from bone problems and may explain the bad tooth.
This video of Michael pulling Ozzy's bad tooth is adorable. And a little crazy.

In 1973, director Peter Medak (The Ruling Class) and Peter Sellers set off to Cyprus to shoot the rollicking pirate comedy Ghost in the Noonday Sun. Everything fell apart and the movie only limped onto home video over a decade later to widespread derision.
Decades later, Medak returns to the scene of the crime to describe what happened. The Ghost of Peter Sellers is opening next week for online screening.
The Ghost of Peter Sellers is a highly personal and somewhat airless account from Medak about an event that happened over 40 years ago whose painful memory he still seems unable to process. Walking through London and the shooting locations in Cyprus with a rotating cast of friends and former colleagues, Medak acts the part of self-investigator. He’s like a self-flagellating version of John Cusack’s Rob Gordon in High Fidelity…
Here’s the trailer:


Grand Prix winner of Critics’ Week at Cannes, Gabriel Abrantes and Daniel Schmidt’s singular Diamantino is at once a queer fairy tale, a sci-fi thriller, and an outrageous political satire of modern Europe.
Portuguese soccer star Diamantino ends his career in disgrace after being surreally manipulated for nefarious political gain. Searching for a new purpose, the international icon sets out on a delirious odyssey in which he navigates neo-fascism, the refugee crisis, and genetic modification. A genre-melding debut, Diamantino is a deeply bizarre and transgressive cinematic experience.
Sat, 04 May 2019
This Preview screening is followed by a Q&A with directors Gabriel Abrantes and Daniel Schmidt. Diamantino screens at the ICA from 10 May.
All films are ad-free and 18+ unless otherwise stated, and start with a 10 min. curated selection of trailers.

|Acute alcohol intake causes multiple organ damages such as severe acute gastrointestinal, liver and cardiovascular diseases. In present study, the gastro protective effects of sigumjang meju (fermented barley bran) water extract (SME) on experimental model of ethanol (EtOH)-induced gastric ulcer in mice. The gastro protective activity of SME was evaluated by gross/histopathological inspection, pro-inflammatory cytokine, and EtOH absorption from stomach. SME pretreatment is characterized to less gastrointestinal bleeding and reduced EtOH absorption into the bloodstream via gastro mucosal barrier. Furthermore, the SME effectively reduced the expression of pro-inflammatory mediator of TNF induced by EtOH. These results indicate that SME prevents gastric mucosal damage induced by acute EtOH administration in mice through the protective effects of SME for anti-inflammatory activities and less absorption of EtOH from stomach.|

"I'm happy not to be speaking on the death of the book . . . again," said Robert Darnton, cultural historian and director of Harvard University Library, at Unesco's Focus 2011 conference. Every year, he added, more books are published than the year before - on just one day in 2010, 1 October, 800 new titles came out. Not that Darnton's audience needed much convincing.
The authors, journalists, publishers and librarians who gathered in Monza, Italy, to discuss the future of the book were all keen to see writing and reading survive. They were equally determined not to repeat the mistakes of the music industry by panicking about the dawn of the digital age.
The optimists argue that new technologies rarely kill older ones: the cinema didn't finish off the play; video games haven't bankrupted Hollywood.
On the pessimists' side, however, are compelling questions over how writers will earn a living in a world where so much content is given away for free. "You'll turn art into a pastime," observed Antonio Skármeta, the author of Il Postino. "People wouldn't steal a frozen chicken in a supermarket, but they wouldn't flinch from illegal downloading."
It's clear that publishers can no longer ignore the increasing availability of information on the web. Only 13 per cent of books have been digitised so far, but that figure is rising rapidly. As the schoolteacher Esther Wojcicki pointed out, her students in the US expect to have text and pictures at their fingertips; their attitude led her to join the board of the Creative Commons foundation, which offers authors several grades of "licence" to protect their work online. The hope is that would-be thieves will be encouraged to attribute content, rather than lift it wholesale. Creators, meanwhile, give out "tasters" in the hope of converting consumers into customers.
For a few speakers, however, texts aren't available freely enough. The MIT researcher Richard Stallman, effortlessly multilingual and extravagantly bearded, distributed leaflets on the evils of ebooks (stallman.org/articles/ebooks.pdf), pointing out you never "own" one in quite the same way as a paper book - providers can alter the book after you have bought it.
A replay of Fahrenheit 451 would be a damn sight easier in an ebook world.


New thinking on past issues and future action should be top of directors’ minds.
When asked what impedes board performance, directors nominate usual suspects: an overemphasis on compliance rather than strategy; poorly structured and facilitated board meetings; and overly long, complicated board papers.
Few could argue these and other recurring governance obstacles have been resolved. As boards streamline their processes, extra regulation and rising governance expectations are adding to compliance, board meetings and board-pack length.
Company director and governance consultant Anne Skipper FAICD AM, says the core problem is lack of innovation in board processes. “If you look at the typical board meeting and board pack, it’s about directors analysing information from the past. That’s important, but so too is boards structuring time to think about what’s ahead.”
Dr Vince Murdoch, a governance consultant, says boards must be bolder with change if they want to lift performance. “Extra regulation and industry disruption are not going away. On the one hand, boards face greater compliance because of heightened community expectations and government regulation. On the other, they need more time to focus on strategy because of industry disruption. It’s a hard balance to achieve.”
boards could consider aspects of Netflix’s governance model, where directors attend senior management meetings throughout the year and board presentations are structured as online memos with links to supporting information.
Murdoch adds: “Finding ways to streamline board meetings or board packs is needed, but it is ‘low hanging fruit’. When one considers the many challenges facing boards, it’s obvious they need to be more innovative to maintain or enhance their performance.”
Here are eight ideas to drive governance innovation:
1. Different governance models
Murdoch believes boards could consider aspects of Netflix’s governance model, where directors attend senior management meetings throughout the year and board presentations are structured as online memos with links to supporting information.
Netflix’s goal is to increase transparency among the CEO, executive team and board – an approach that is working, judging by the US entertainment giant’s success this decade.
“I doubt that Australian boards are ready for the Netflix model, but it has merit,” says Murdoch. “It addresses one of the great problems affecting board performance: directors having far less information than managers and limited exposure to the firm’s day-to-day activities. Finding ways to engage directors more in the firm, without encroaching on management, has value for boards that want to lift performance.”
2. Board, management interaction
Murdoch has coached boards on how to ask questions of management. Separately, his firm has coached executives on providing information to boards and liaising with directors. “We assume directors know how to ask questions of management, and executives know how to get the best from the board. But problems in this relationship often detract from board performance.”
Executives can think they are being “interrogated” in board meetings and fear the governance process amid intense regulatory, investor, media and community scrutiny of organisations, says Murdoch. “Boards are under rising pressure to challenge management on issues and the risk is board meetings start to feel more combative than collaborative. And that executives become more defensive and less open with the board.”
Murdoch says improving board/management interaction is an under-recognised opportunity. “In one case, we coached management on how to prepare information for the board, present it and respond to director questions. Board productivity increased markedly. Management also felt better about the process because directors had been coached on how to ask questions and get more value from the information.”
He recommends executives move from a ‘presentation mindset’ to one of discussion facilitation in their board interactions. “We have always thought about executives presenting to boards whereas perhaps we should be considering executives as the stimulus for a discussion with the board. Directors complain when they’ve already read the paper and executives proceed to present what’s in the pack. If we allow ourselves to think about it as a discussion, executives and directors can more fruitfully debate the vital issues and the board can use the additional time to reflect and determine their view. It can be a lightbulb moment when executives view board-interaction differently.”
3. Board-meeting cycles
Murdoch says more boards should challenge traditional thinking about meeting cycles. Instead of having, say, 10 meetings a year, a listed-company board might move to a quarterly cycle with each meeting running two or three days. Key committee meetings, such as for audit, would stay monthly and the main board could have shorter meetings as needed.
“The current cycle of monthly meetings puts directors and managers on this never-ending cycle of board-pack preparation and meetings,” Murdoch says. “Consider a 1,000-page board pack for a bank board: directors probably expect the pack at least a week before the meeting; the CEO needs to see it a week before directors; managers need to write their part a week before the CEO gets it; and the company secretariat starts on it a week before that. It’s quite possible that next month’s board pack is being written before the current board meeting has occurred.”
Murdoch says fewer, longer board meetings would help directors conduct “deep dives” on issues and have extra time to meet stakeholders in the field. Quarterly board meetings could be held at different company locations and would take pressure off management to prepare board packs. They would also give directors extra time to digest information.
“Quarterly meetings would not suit all boards and I’m not suggesting boards would not meet monthly in other formats” he says. “Or that quarterly meetings would reduce director workloads, although one could expect a rise in board productivity. But too many boards and executive teams are on a ‘hamster wheel’ of monthly board meetings and packs because that is how it is always done. Something needs to change.”
4. Board packs
Murdoch says board packs remain one of the biggest frustrations for directors and a key factor inhibiting performance. Directors complain that packs are long, too poorly structured, information dense and do not adequately facilitate discussion and decision making.
“The typical board pack is written by several authors, such as division heads, and often lacks a coherent narrative and flow. This is a big problem because the board pack is still the main information source for directors. If the pack is too long, incorrectly structured or has the wrong information, directors have a distorted lens and their decision making and performance suffers.”
Murdoch says boards should rethink how they receive information. “Board packs are generally already too long and getting longer. It’s not enough to keep pruning the pack because more information is being added as new regulations emerge. One wonders how directors can read, let alone contemplate, board packs that are hundreds of pages long each month.”
5. Forward-looking focus
Anne Skipper says boards must find more time to focus on emerging issues and trends. “Industry is changing so quickly. It’s critical that board processes enable directors to think how about their organisation and industry could be disrupted or enabled by technology.”
Skipper chairs Silver Chain Group, a not-for-profit in the healthcare and aged-care sector that is known for innovation. She is also a director of People’s Choice Credit Union, Chair-elect of the Future Ageing Co-Operative CRC and Chair of Principal Australia Institute.
“I structure up to an hour-and-a-half at the start of Silver Chain meetings for directors to discuss disrupters to the organisation and what the future could look like,” says Skipper. “Compliance is critical, but I want the board to be forward looking and strategy focussed. You cannot drive board performance if the focus is mostly on compliance and the past.”
6. Information flows
Skipper says the traditional approach of directors getting a board pack each month that collates information, which might be several weeks old, is too slow. “Boards must find ways to ensure they have access to real-time information that is constantly updated. They should be able to contribute to the information, not just rely on what management provides them.”
She favours the ideas of interactive board information. “Rather than board packs being sent to directors when they are done, there could be a central repository for this information and sections of the board pack made available when they are completed. In this way, the board pack becomes a living, breathing document that management and directors can add to, rather than this voluminous pack that directors have to grind through. And directors can read this information throughout the month, rather than only in the days before the meeting.”
7. Decision-making frameworks
Clearer guides to enable decision making could enhance board performance, say Skipper. “You don’t want to be too rigid or have a one-size-fits-all criteria, but I do believe a well-considered framework can improve board decision-making and performance.”
She adds: “A good framework can help directors test if a management recommendation will make the organisation more efficient or profitable. And whether that decision aligns with organisation culture and values and stakeholder expectations. There’s been too many instances of boards approving management recommendations to grow revenue, without testing whether it was the right kind of revenue growth and if that growth was sustainable.”
8. Governance ‘pop-ups’
Skipper says the main board and its committees risk being too structured as markets are disrupted. “We need to find ways for directors and management to work together to explore emerging issues and trends, without adding yet another permanent committee or board task.”
Skipper likens this process to a ‘pop-up’ store that opens for a short time and achieves fast outcomes – an idea she gleaned from a fellow board director and governance consultant who uses this technique with startups and new business ventures. “A board might form an innovation taskforce to investigate an emerging threat or opportunity for the organisation and work with management. The taskforce reports back to the main board on the project and is disbanded upon completion.”
Working groups on boards are not new and many boards are reluctant to add another permanent committee to address emerging issues. Nevertheless, Skipper believes boards are missing an opportunity around working groups as a structure to examine emerging issues.

THE expansion of higher education particularly in the fields of modern technology, medicine and energy to create qualified manpower for businesses and organisations, President Nicos Anastasiades said yesterday.
He said it also prevents Cypriot scientists moving abroad, which is one of the government`s highest priorities.
“The academic development of Cyprus and at the same time developing research and innovation is for the government an integral part of the economic, social and cultural development of our country,” he said.
Anastasiades was addressing a scientific workshop of the Kios Research Centre for Intelligent Systems and Networks, at the University of Cyprus.
He said the economic crisis had not affected the creativity of Cypriot scientists, who continued to work to achieve excellence. “We feel proud because although small in size, we excel at European and international level” he said.
The President thanked the University of Cyprus “for its substantial contribution” to Cypriot society.
Meanwhile the European Investment Bank has accepted to grant a loan of €140m to the University of Cyprus, with favorable repayment terms, to complete the campus, Rector, Constantinos Christofides announced.
Christofides said last Friday he received a letter from the EIB informing him that the final negotiations could be conducted at the beginning of July.
Asking for the President`s support, the Rector said that “the EIB loan, along with donations and resources from the structural funds, pave the way for the completion of the campus, in times of crisis”. (CNA)

Kristen Stewart Vampire Sex; Robert Pattinson Talks On-Screen Love Scene With Stewart
Playing a couple onscreen can have its challenges, but the biggest for Robert Pattison was having vampire sex with actress Kristen Stewart.
During an interview with E! News last week, Pattinson was first asked what daily activity he could do in peace. The actor responded understandably: "Go around castrating paparazzi."
Pattinson and Stewart are used to being relentlessly hounded by the paparazzi, especially during their very public break-up.
Photos taken by the paparazzi showing the 22-year-old actress with "Snow White and the Huntsman" director Rupert Sanders fueled the fire that split the "Twilight" couple until they recently made amends.
The biggest topic of the interview was Pattinson's vampire love scene with Stewart.
"It was weird, we shot the love scenes for the last one and this one at basically the same time, so it was very confusing," Pattinson said.
The 26-year-old actor said it was awkward during the shoot having to go from "gentle" in some takes and "mind-blowing" in the next.
"Vampire sex is supposed to be the greatest sex in the world, and then everyone turns up on set and they're like, 'OK, well, uh, what's your thing?' It's, like, completely crazy!"
Pattinson commented on getting into the "Twilight" franchise, saying Stewart was an influence to get him onto the project.
"It's one of the reasons I signed onto it in the first place," said Pattinson. "It seemed like it wasn't going to be a typical teen movie. I guess I was pretty pretentious even then, even when I was unemployed. It was my first American movie, so I didn't want to take the wrong step."
"Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2" premieres nationwide on Nov. 16, with select theaters to hold "Twilight" marathons on Nov. 15 where attendees will have the chance to watch the entire saga back-to-back.


This will help to prevent any kind of electrical hazard or further damage. Family pets seem to have a keen affinity for chewing on the coating. You can do this by testing out an alternate charger on the laptop–if the charger still does not work, it’s an internal laptop issue. Check to see if the issue lies in your computer. Make sure that it isn’t a battery problem. Many laptop owners believe their charger is the problem when their battery is charging.
Try removing your laptop battery. For this kind of power system problem, you will probably have to send your computer to its Metalized film Manufacturers manufacturer rather than a local repair shop. Laptop batteries generally begin to lose the ability to hold a charge after two to three years of heavy usage.One of the most commonly damaged components of a laptop is the charger. Chargers are accidentally tripped on or frayed beyond functionality. If the computer still runs, the charger is not the problem. Replace your charger. Some chargers can be purchased for as little as $5.
Push the wire next to the Dell laptop charger base (the connecting tip near the laptop end) side to side to see if you can get a current to connect. Wrap your charger’s exposed wiring with electrical tape before proceeding. Whatever the cause, you probably need to fix the issue immediately, because a laptop is useless without its charger.
A replacement Asus laptop charger is usually easy to find and quite affordable. This is a temporary solution, but it can help you salvage your files so that you can work with them on a different computer. Instead of going to a local electronics retailer where universal chargers can cost $100 or more, look online for your specific model’s charger

2019 Volume 4 Issue 1 Pages 21-27
The aim of our study is to develop a mental workload monitoring system to be adopted in ship handling simulator education. The mental workload monitoring system immediately evaluates and shows the mental workload responses of bridge team mates. In addition, it enables us to immediately instruct the beginners on professional maneuvering, which is why the mental workload monitoring system is effective for simulator education and attributes to safe navigation. To measure the mental workload we chose the heart rate variability which is known as one of the indices of mental workload. In this research, mental workload was measured by using two devices, a heart rate monitor and a patch type device. The patch type device is essential for the mental workload monitoring system because it immediately shows the mental workload of subjects. We needed to use the heart rate monitor to substitute for the patch type device because it is still under development. In this study, we compared and evaluated the mental workload responses between the beginners and professionals to ship handling events in simulators by mental workload monitoring system, and stored the data. This research presents the usefulness of mental workload monitoring system and finds some problems with the devices to develop that system.

This restored painting by Jacob Jordaens (1593-1678) has returned to its usual place in the Large Studio in the Italian wing. The painting depicts Neptune, the god of the sea. His wife Amphitrite stands to his left. In the foreground we can make out several tritons (these are mythological figures that are half fish, half man). The painting is signed and dated on the edge of the shell chariot: J. Jordaens fecit 16[4?]4 (the penultimate number is difficult to make out).
This monumental work urgently needed restoring. It had already been overpainted several times to conceal losses. Moreover the varnish had become yellowed. As a result of the discoloration, details in the dark areas had become invisible and the original colours looked less crisp.
The restoration process
Marc Leenaerts works for the collection policy service of the Museums of the City of Antwerp and restores paintings. He spent a year restoring this Jordaens. He started by removing the superficial grime, after which he tackled the discoloured varnish.
The next step was to apply an insulating varnish. This saturates the colours and creates a barrier between Jordaens's original work and the restorer's interventions. Any additions during a subsequent restoration can thus be easily removed without damaging the original painting.
Level the losses
After removing the layer of varnish and the overpaintings, the losses in the paint layers come to light. The restorer then fills these with a mixture of gesso and glue. This is necessary to level the losses again with the paint layer. Then he retouches them.
Finally, he applies a final varnish layer to the painting. This seals the retouched sections and adds a lovely lustre to the canvas. The colour of the painting was only enhanced thanks to the restoration, a fact which is especially apparent in Neptune's blue cloth and Amphitrite's red cloth.
Discoveries during the restoration
Jacob Jordaens's restoration of "Neptune and Amphitrite" restored the original painting, as well as bringing a number of interesting secrets to light.
- Jordaens did not paint this work on one large canvas. Instead he joined two canvases together. This shows that painters tended to use the material that was laying around in their studio.
- Jordaens also decided to extend the canvas on either side while painting it, forcing him to adapt his composition. Take a closer look at the triton blowing on conch shell, for example. He only came to light after the layer of varnish had been removed. Originally Jordaens painted the triton in an upright position, near the horse to the right. After widening the canvas, Jordaens wanted to move down the triton. It thus is positioned on a diagonal with the two horses and with Neptune's trident. A smart intervention which only enhanced the composition.
- Originally Amphitrite's red cloth was larger, and also extended downwards.
- Jordaens painted this work with very little paint and rapid brush strokes, a fact that is apparent when you look closely at Neptune's head.


Quantum-Si has been granted a patent for an integrated photonic device that uses optical waveguides and couplers to deliver light to multiple sample wells. The device allows for parallel analysis of samples and includes a grating coupler to receive light from an external source and multiple waveguides to couple with the sample wells. The device also features a power waveguide that increases the coupling strength with a first waveguide along its length, enabling efficient optical propagation. GlobalData’s report on Quantum-Si gives a 360-degree view of the company including its patenting strategy. Buy the report here.
According to GlobalData’s company profile on Quantum-Si, Optoelectronic biosensors was a key innovation area identified from patents. Quantum-Si's grant share as of September 2023 was 18%. Grant share is based on the ratio of number of grants to total number of patents.
Integrated photonic device with varying width waveguide for sample analysis
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11774674B2) describes an integrated photonic device that includes a pixel region with multiple sample wells arranged in a row. The device also features a first waveguide that optically couples with at least two sample wells in the row, with the width of the first waveguide varying. Additionally, there is a power waveguide that receives light from a separate region of the device and optically couples with the first waveguide along its length. The coupling strength between the power waveguide and the first waveguide increases in the direction of optical propagation through the power waveguide.
The first waveguide in the integrated photonic device can evanescently couple with the power waveguide. The power waveguide has a larger width than the first waveguide and is designed to optically couple a portion of optical power to the first waveguide and another portion to a second waveguide. The second waveguide is positioned to optically couple with at least two sample wells in the same row.
The device may also include a second row of sample wells and a second waveguide that optically couples with at least two sample wells in the second row. The power waveguide can optically couple with the first waveguide through a first directional coupler and with the second waveguide through a second directional coupler. The second coupling coefficient of the second directional coupler is larger than the first coupling coefficient of the first directional coupler.
Furthermore, the integrated photonic device may have a grating coupler that receives light from the surface of the device and optically couples with the power waveguide. There can also be a second waveguide that optically couples with a second sample well in the row, while the first waveguide may have a tapered end and evanescently couple with the power waveguide at a location distal from the tapered end.
Additionally, the device may include at least one photodetector positioned to receive light emitted from one of the sample wells.
Overall, this patent describes an integrated photonic device with various features and configurations that enable efficient optical coupling and power distribution within the device.

The Baroness emphasised that the United Kingdom and other donors giving money to Guyana are very keen to see some kind of resolution to these issues of concern for the national interest.
Wrapping up a two-day visit to Guyana Monday, Baroness Amos told media practitioners at Press conference at the British High Commissioner's Bel Air residence: "I'm taking away quite a deep concern about the current situation, particularly about the nature of the relationships between the Indo-Guyanese and Afro-Guyanese communities, and a strong feeling from those that I spoke to, that it's very important that the Government and the Opposition come together and discuss some key issues -- for example the crime situation -- for the good of the country."
Baroness Amos, who arrived in Guyana on Sunday night, said that her visit was part of the ongoing relationship between Britain and Guyana. She said that Britain has been working on a number of issues here, and explained that her visit was about making sure that she "remains engaged and informed about the situation here in Guyana, so that Britain can give whatever support it can, particularly in relation to the political process ongoing at the moment."
The Baroness yesterday met and held separate discussions with President Bharrat Jagdeo and Opposition Leader Mr. Hugh Desmond Hoyte, after which she had a lengthy meeting with the Social Partners. She also met with members of GAP/WPA, and on each occasion, issues of concern were raised, the Minister said.
The issues ranged from concerns over the current situation, in particular the crime situation to the state of the economy, and some of the mediation efforts being made by the Social Partners and the Commonwealth Secretariat.
"But what I was very interested to hear was the mechanism that the Social Partners were going through, in terms of trying to draft a paper on these issues related to crime, and holding discussions and dialogue with the parties on this very matter," Baroness Amos asserted.
The Baroness pointed out that the British High Commissioner is engaged in discussions with the Social Partners, and with the Commonwealth and others, in terms of the British Government giving support to the process here.
Reiterating that the President has his concerns, and that the Opposition Leader has his concerns, the Minister said it was important for the people of Guyana to understand and recognise that there is international support (for the process).
"The Commonwealth is engaged," the Baroness noted, adding that the United Kingdom and other donors are very keen to see some kind of resolution of these issues of concern for the national interest. "That's the key thing -- that the people of Guyana are the ones who need to state their concerns. They have concerns, and those concerns need to be listened to, and there needs to be a mechanism for their concerns to be put on the table,” the British official said.
And alluding to two earlier visits made by Sir Paul Reeves, who had held discussions with both Government and Opposition, the Baroness indicated that Sir Paul would be returning to Guyana next January.
She said that the British Government is supporting that process, and is also supporting the Social Partners' process with the objective of trying to bring Government and Opposition together.
"This is something that the people of Guyana need to work on,” she said.
The Baroness added: "What we can do is to work behind the scenes to support those processes, and that is precisely what we're here to do."
In response to a question on her assessment of progress seen, Baron Amos said, "These are processes that take a very long time. You take tiny steps forward. You can appear to take very large steps back. I think it would be very wrong of me to say whether I have seen progress," she affirmed.
Baroness Amos was of the view that it was for the Opposition and the Government to talk about the stage that they have reached in this process.
Albeit, she said, she was very pleased to see that there are Guyanese people, who are engaged in very positive and creative ways in this process. There is also the support of the whole of the international community through the Commonwealth, and also through the donors represented here in Guyana, taking a strong interest in this.
"I think that's good news," Baroness Amos noted.

For the effects of the battle to be really apparent specific work needs to be done — piling and shoveling. The poem is written in the present tense: Sandburg has employed diction and rhythm that contrasts the theme of this piece.
In addition, he made poetry of the harsh realities of immigrant urban life. However, it is rarely fully understood. He makes heavy use of dialogue in his work, and the verse is so free The lines are long and flowing when he describes war and death and, when he gets to grass, which should be a pastoral, gentle thing, he makes the lines clippy and short.
Several other characters used in the poem create further imagery, like the painted women who are prostitutesthe gunman who killed without being imprisonedand the women and children who were marked with hunger lines 7, 9, He would later utilize the images and vernacular he was exposed to during such experiences to create verse reflective of daily life among the working class.
And yet, just looking at the poem on the page, one can visualize that there is some of frame which keeps it all together. He also used several words that repeat, if not strengthen, the vividness of Chicago in a macho way: He uses figures of speech to strengthen his presentation of the poem into an appealing one, something that could easily captivate the attention of the readers.
The bulk of the collection was purchased directly from Carl Sandburg and his family. The loss of hope present in the beginning of the poem is met with a promise of something better. He went to Lombard College and there his literary talents came out. His parent's names were August and Clara Anderson Sandburg.

Carruth stated that "The poetry of Carl Sandburg may have been dressed only in blue jeans, but it went everywhere and spoke in the voice of everyday people" When one initially glances at the poem, they are led to believe that they will simply be reading a poem about, as the title indicates, Grass.
He was editorial writer for the "Daily News" in His best known work is the biography of Abraham Lincoln.
That Sandburg should be obsessed with Abraham Lincoln is no surprise. Sandburg personifies the city of Chicago to give it traits of confidence, arrogance, boastfulness, determination, craftiness and pride. That Sandburg should be obsessed with Abraham Lincoln is no surprise.
His extensive use of personification throughout the entire poem sets the mood and flow of the story. He resided at S. Throughout the poem he points out the shortcomings of the city, but at the same time challenges the reader to find another city as majestic despite its flaws.
Another book with great poems is Smoke and Steel, and it was published in The grass wants to be allowed to work. Sandburg did not have much of an education because he quit school at the age of thirteen.
Pete Seeger, who calls it a "landmark", saw it "almost as soon as it came out. And yet, just looking at the poem on the page, one can visualize that there is some of frame which keeps it all together.
In Chicago Poemshis first major collection and one of his most respected works, Sandburg employed images and topics not commonly considered poetical to paint realistic portraits of ordinary people in such environments as the railroad yard, the marketplace, and the factory.
He was cremated in after his death, and his ashes were buried underneath Remembrance Rock on October 1, He died there in the summer of and was subsequently honored in a National Memorial Service at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.

Veterans Unit Litigation Attorney
Pine Tree Legal Assistance
Veterans Unit Litigation Attorney
Location: Bangor office; Hybrid remote
An opportunity to serve Maine Veterans!
Pine Tree Legal Assistance is seeking a self-directed and motivated attorney to join the PTLA Veterans Unit. This is an exciting opportunity to have an immediate and profound impact on civil legal needs for veterans throughout the state. This position will be located in PTLA’s Bangor office serving the entire state with a priority service area north of Augusta.
As a general litigator for veterans within the VA Maine Healthcare system, the attorney should expect to appear in court on a regular basis to provide representation on consumer, landlord/tenant, and benefits (including both State and VA health and income benefits) law cases, as well as provide administrative advocacy in a range of different civil needs, including before the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Veterans Affairs. While the typical caseload is handled at the District Court or Superior Court the attorney may handle appeals to the Maine Supreme Judicial Court as well as appeals to the Board of Appeals for Veteran Claims. Depending on experience, the attorney may also handle cases in federal court. Case acceptance decisions are made by each office, consistent with Pine Tree’s approved Statement of Priorities and specific grant requirements, which may change over time.
The attorney in this position will enjoy the opportunity to travel throughout the state, with a priority area north of Augusta. The attorney will perform community engagement with VA clinical and administrative staff and assist them in properly identifying health-harming civil legal needs for referral. In addition, the attorney will also establish new relationships with VA partners in areas across the state that have historically provided fewer referrals to PTLA.
Finally, the Veterans Unit litigation attorney may be involved in recruitment, training, and supervision of law students and undergraduate interns and volunteers in the office, as well as support of pro bono volunteers in the community. Importantly, the attorney will work as a member of the office team and support the work of others in the office.
Applicant must reside in, or be willing to relocate to, the state of Maine. This is an exempt position under the Fair Labor Standards Act.
Compensation and Benefits
The salary range for PTLA attorneys and other exempt staff is currently $64,870 - $101,870, depending on experience.
In addition, PTLA is proud to offer the following:
Employer-paid health insurance with a generous HRA contribution, generous health insurance opt-out benefit, employer-paid dental insurance, employer-paid life and disability insurance, and an annual contribution to a 403(b)-retirement plan.

Motorola increases its portfolio of mid-range mobile phones by introducing the new Moto G Stylus 5G 2023 edition, improving its features with respect to the 2022 edition in which, as the company advances.
It offers new opportunities for content creation, improved connectivity and quick navigation through applications, note taking, editing and more.
It is striking that, to begin with, it has a somewhat smaller screen compared to last year’s version, although it also has smaller bezels for better use. And not all users want to have mobile phones with large screens.
An update that offers more for less
This screen is a 6.6″ FullHD+ IPS LCD screen that has a maximum refresh rate of 120Hz.
Inside, the company has opted for the new Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 mobile platform accompanied by 6 GB of RAM and 256 GB of internal storage for its free version.
Which will cost $399, although the version for American operators will get 4 to 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage.
Users will be able to expand the storage capacity up to 2 TB via a microSD card.
Ditching independent macro and depth cameras
In the photographic section there are also improvements, with a main camera with a 50MP sensor, although in this case there is no optical image stabilization, followed by an 8MP ultra-wide-angle camera that also works as a macro and depth camera.
The company has chosen to do without the useless independent depth cameras and macro cameras, integrating their capabilities into the ultra-wide-angle camera, so that the rear camera configuration remains only in the two aforementioned cameras, and as a front camera it has opted for a camera with a 16MP sensor.
Motorola specifies that:
There is also an 8MP ultra-wide, macro and depth lens so consumers can experience three incredible perspectives in one camera.
With good autonomy
This model also houses a generous 5,000 mAh battery with a battery life of up to two days and support for 20W fast wired charging. It also has stereo speakers, a 3.5mm jack connector and NFC, a surprise for a model that is also cheaper than last year’s edition.
And to enhance creative abilities
And regarding the stylus, included with the device, the company highlights that the actions with it “are simpler and more natural”, making it easier for users to draw, edit photos, capturing ideas and thoughts through the Moto Note app. , in addition to being able to also be used to play.
The company also supports functions such as Moto Secure, where users will find access to the “vital” functions in terms of security and privacy for the device, in addition to the Family Space function, for the safe use of minors, and ThinkShield, which defined as a security center that improves protection at all levels.
Motorola will launch this model in the United States and Canada, although at the moment it has not mentioned anything regarding its arrival in other markets, so we will have to wait for the company to decide to launch it more widely.
