This pendant has a hops bud patinaed in matte gold. The bud is accented with two green patinaed bronze hop leaves. The champagne pearl chain (dyed freshwater pearls) adjusts from 16"-18" and closes with a bronze lobster clasp.
The humble beginnings of Hops started as a naturally-growing bitter botanical used by the ancient Romans. Its soothing and relaxing quality became a cure all to treat common ailments. It wasn't until 822 AD in Northern France at a Benedictine monastery that its brewing aspect was incorporated in the making of beer. Now an essential part of the beer-making process, this amber nectar known the world over has been enjoyed by many ever since!

German craft beer distributors are still a rare breed. But things are improving. Andrew Wilkin has compiled a list of the leading craft movers and shakers.
Until a couple of years ago international craft beer brands were hard to find in Germany. But thanks to a number of distribution companies that has changed. The German beer market has opened up considerably in the last few years – new brewers are starting up all the time and German consumers, previously hamstrung by the fabled Reinheitsgebot, have never had so much access to craft beer. Considering all these factors we felt it was apt timing to take a look at the most relevant German craft beer distributors for regional specialties and craft beer. Enjoy!
1) Braufactum
Established in 2010, Braufactum is undeniably one of the pioneers of the craft beer movement in Germany. As well as distributing their own high-quality craft beers – of which there are now 15 – they import Italian, US, British and Belgian beers. Braufactum also boasts many exclusive partners such as Palm, Steenbrugge, Boon, Firestone Walker, Birrificio Italiano, Gypsy Inc. and Mikkeller. Distribution is nationwide and expect an unbroken cool chain – your beer stays fresh, from the brewery to the moment of consumption.
2) Bierlinie
Bierlinie is a Berlin-based independent beer importer and distributor. Set up back in 1991, it also lays claim to being a pioneer for Germany's craft beer wave. Originally just for Dutch and Belgian "special beers", they now distribute beers from all around the world – over 500 different brands in fact. Exclusive brands include Samuel Adams – Boston Beer Company, Chimay, Westemalle, Duvel-Moortgat, Jenlain, Brouwerij het IJ., St Bernardus, Brussels Beerproject and Viven. Bierlinie distributes to bars, shops and other distributors throughout Germany.
3) Derer Import
Berlin's member of our list of leading German craft beer distributors, Derer Import ships nationwide and focussses on independent international breweries. The most requested orders however are for beers from Germany and the heartland of the movement – the United States. Exclusives include Left Hand, Smuttynose, Victory, Latitude 42, Saugatuck, Fifty Fifty and North Coast from the U.S and EU beers such as Kompaan, White Pony and Ghost. They are expanding through offering direct delivery and right now offer delivery in Bavaria, East Germany, North Germany (up until Münster) and sometimes Southwest Germany.
4) Bier Deluxe
Bier Deluxe deserves the deluxe tag as the biggest German craft beer distributor and online shop. In direct contact with the breweries, they count US and German breweries in their range, from Brooklyn Brewery to Firestone Walker, Propeller to Kuehn Kunz Rosen. Exclusives here include Ballast Point, Brewfist, Coronado, CraftCountry Brewery, Karl Strauss, Saint Archer and Tiny Rebel.
5) Bierkompass/Getränke Rudat
Bierkompass may exist online with a swish interface but the importation and selling of the beer has been given over to Dortmund's Getränke Rudat (Sebastian Sauer, Head of Bierkompass, now focuses on merely his own production). Getränke Rudat is a "beer shop for beers and craft beers from all over the world, even for local and national beers in bottles and kegs", explains founder Christian Rudat. They import an alternating range of high-quality US & Canadian brands as well as European ones, including highly respected breweries like Cantillon, Jopen and Del Ducato. And there's three big exclusives to note here – De Molen (Netherlands), To Øl and Nøgne ø (both Copenhagen). Distribution? It goes further than Germany, with distribution offered in Europe, too.
6) Brausturm
Brausturm is a German craft beer distributor based in Hamburg for both international and national craft beer breweries. They distribute to stores, bars and retailers in "well-urbanized regions and cities all over Germany" and specialize in beers from the Nordic region, although their ambitions stretch far further than that. They're claiming Kernel (London), To Øl (Copenhagen), Pohjalla, Lervig Aktiebryggeri (Stavanger) and O'Haras (Ireland) amongst their exclusives. And expect some interesting collaborations – a Berliner Weisse with Sauerkraut has been brewed with Hamburg's Buddelship Brauerei and Lervig Aktiebryggeri in Stavanger. A true German brew there!
7) Ambrosetti
Ambrosetti is a beer delivery specialist in Berlin, particularly to retail stores, delis and for major events – the Internationales Berliner Bierfestival to name just one. They specialize in Bavarian beer, bringing small and special beers from Franconia, Swabia and the various regions into Berlin. Ambrosetti also deliver other beverages – juices, mineral water and sodas for instance. With a 5000sqm warehouse in Berlin-Tegel and a bricks and mortar store at Schillerstrasse 103 in Charlottenburg, Ambrosetti really boasts big on-the-ground visibility.
8) Hamburg Beer Company
A North German entry in the list of leading German craft beer distributors is The Hamburg Beer Company, a subsidiary of the Nordmann group. The Hamburg Beer Company boasts a full range of both international and national beers, focusing on both "high end" styles as well as more accessible ones – in their words, "to help introduce the German consumer to new tastes". They distribute all around Germany and both to trade and gastronomy outlets, from a central logistics platform consisting of a modern central warehouse with space for around 800 items.
9) Liquid Hops
Liquid Hops live up to their name, distributing many different beer styles throughout Germany. However, the focus is squarely on "smaller, innovative breweries with high-quality standards." The Augsburg-based distributor are after "unusual" beers, only available in limited editions or in small numbers. Amongst many others, Liquid Hops stock Beavertown, Riegele and Hoppebräu and one exclusive to note is Evil Twin, the brewery run by Jeppe Jarnit-Bjergso – brother of Mikkeller founder Mikkel Borg Bjergso.
10) One Pint
Bjarne Mark Hoier is known to be one of the most experienced entrepreneurs in Central Europe's beer business. So it comes at no surprise that his import and distribution company One Pint GmbH is praised by both beer bars and regional wholesalers as a reliable and knowledgeable source and partner – thus making it a member of our list of leading German craft beer distributors. One Pint distributes a wide range of beers in both bottles and casks. While the company started off with their exclusive Fuller's and a focus on Scandinavian brews, there's now also a wide range of German beer specialties on offer. International beers distributed by One Pint are Samuel Smith, Kona, Red Hook, Innis & Gunn, Belhaven, Jopen, Green King Beer Here, Midtfyns Bryghus, and St Austell.

Solid wood floors are one solid piece of wood that have tongue and groove sides and come in either pre-finished or unfinished styles. Solid wood floors can either be fully glued to the floor or nail-down with a porta-nailer which drives a nail through the groove at an angle. You can refinish, or recoat solid wood floors several times, which adds to their appeal and to their long life. There are solid floors that are over 100 years old and are still in good condition.
Engineered wood floors offer a cost effective alternative to solid wood. This flooring is compatable with underfloor heating and water stability.
The elegant look of a hardwood floor can add warmth and character to any room in a home. The natural characteristics of wood add depth and a visual appearance that many other types of floors try to duplicate.

Trump Claim 4: Illegal drugs
"Our Southern border is a pipeline for vast quantities of illegal drugs. ... My administration has presented Congress with a detailed proposal to secure the border and stop the criminal gangs, drug smugglers and human traffickers. It's a tremendous problem."
Fact check: The Trump administration has a well-documented history of using false or exaggerated statistics about crime and terrorism to justify its immigration policies. And that history is repeating itself. Studies have shown immigrants living in the U.S. illegally commit crime at a lower rate than native-born Americans. And according to the Drug Enforcement Administration, most illegal drugs imported to the U.S. from Mexico are smuggled through legal ports of entry. Only a small fraction comes through parts of the border that would be covered by a wall.

It's not 'fearmongering'. It's simply the truth. You either live in one of the few areas not affected, you have your head in the sand or both.

BERLIN — US President Barack Obama said today Afghans must talk to each other to resolve the conflict in their country even though huge mistrust exists between the government and its Taliban foes.
Obama was speaking in Berlin a day after the United States said it would begin talks with the Taliban tomorrow to try to seek a negotiated peace to 12 years of war — a move that has deeply upset President Hamid Karzai's US-backed government.
"We do think that ultimately we're going to need to see Afghans talking to Afghans about how they can move forward and end the cycle of violence there so they can start actually building their country," Obama said at a joint news conference in Berlin with German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
As a sign of displeasure with the move, Karzai has suspended talks with the United States on a troop agreement. But Obama said he welcomed Karzai's announcement that Afghan forces would soon take responsibility for security from the US-led NATO peacekeeping force.
Obama arrived in Germany from a two-day summit with Group of Eight leaders in Northern Ireland and later on Wednesday will unveil plans for a sharp reduction in nuclear warheads in a speech at the Brandenburg Gate.
At the news conference, he also addressed the issue of a US spying programme dubbed Prism, saying he was confident his government had struck a balance intelligence gathering and civil liberties.
The Prism programme applied to specific leads on terrorism and weapons proliferation, he said.
"I came into office committed to protecting the American people but also committed to our values and our ideals and one of our highest ideals is civil liberties and privacy."
Revelation of the programme has upset Germans wary of government surveillance after the trauma of the Nazi Gestapo and East German Stasi secret police. Chancellor Merkel told Obama that government monitoring of Internet communications needed to remain within proper limits.
"I made clear that although we do see the need for gathering information, the topic of proportionality is always an important one and the free democratic order is based on people feeling safe," Merkel said at the news conference. (Reuters)

Now that Spider-Man: Homecoming has finally arrived in theaters, Peter Parker has fully joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe and begun his journey to full-fledged Avengers status. Though Tom Holland shined as both Peter and Spidey during his brief scenes in Captain America: Civil War, seeing a story solely focused on the young hero provides something truly unique in the superhero genre. It's also provided Marvel with another massive hit.
While most of the Avengers— and many other big screen superheroes— have to deal with world-ending threats and existential crises, Spidey's more concerned with saving his neighborhood and trying to finish his homework. By combining these two threads, audiences are given something that's closer to Harry Potter than Iron Man.
The addition of the high school angle and the film's connections to the past of the MCU also allow Homecoming to introduce a ton of new characters from the comics. From supervillains both big and small to all those classmates and supporting characters, Homecoming has greatly expanded the roster of characters in the MCU. But how well do the various players in the latest Spider-Man film match up to their counterparts from the page?
Here's How 17 Spider-Man: Homecoming Characters Compare To The Comics.
17 Adrian Toomes / Vulture
The Vulture both has a long history in the comics and in the history of Spider-Man films. Debuting in 1963's The Amazing Spider-Man #2, the Vulture is one of Peter's oldest foes. A genius inventor and electronics expert, Adrian Toomes went a little mad when he learned his business partner was embezzling money and putting his job at risk. Using a flight harness he had designed— which incidentally augmented his strength— Toomes wreaked havoc on his workplace before descending into a life of crime.
In Spider-Man: Homecoming, Michael Keaton's take on the character is more of a blue-collar hero who lets others do the actual building. Still, his harness is a grounded update on the more streamlined wings Vulture has in the comics. His vulture tuft is even paid homage to with the pilot jacket Toomes wears.
Interestingly, Vulture almost made it to the screen a couple of times in the past. Both Ben Kingsley and John Malkovich were up for the role in Spider-Man 3 and 4 respectively. In the end, producer Avi Arad convinced Sam Raimi to swap the villain out for Venom in the third film in the trilogy, while the fourth movie was canceled outright.
16 Ned Leeds
Like the Vulture, Ned Leeds has been a stalwart character in Spider-Man comics and was changed a good deal for the MCU. On the page, Ned debuted in 1964's The Amazing Spider-Man #18 and began his life as a reporter for the Daily Bugle.
Like many characters in Homecoming, Ned is one of Peter's future work colleagues that was turned into a high school classmate to maximize Spidey's stable of supporting characters. Eventually, Ned would marry Betty Brant and even get brainwashed into becoming the Hobgoblin. Naturally, most of this is unlikely to happen in the MCU.
The more accurate analogue for Ned in the comics is Ganke Lee. In the Ultimate Comics imprint of Marvel, Ganke is the best friend of the Miles Morales Spider-Man. Virtually everything about Ned in Homecoming is identical to Ganke in the comics, so why the film went the way they did with him is still unknown.
15 Jackson Brice / Shocker #1
Homecoming did a great job of introducing a number of comic book villains without making the movie seem overcrowded. Most of this was due to using them as minions of Vulture, rather than full-blown threats. A key example is Jackson Brice, who doesn't make it long in the film before being vaporized. With his jacket and gauntlet, he's the MCU version of the Shocker before he loses his life. In the comics, however, he's a good deal different.
Like many of Homecoming's characters, Brice was created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko. Premiering in 1964's The Amazing Spider-Man #10, Brice is a member of a criminal group called the Enforcers. Rather than going by the moniker of Shocker, however, he simply uses the name Montana. Rocking a cowboy hat and a lariat, Brice doesn't much resemble his MCU counterpart. Still, he serves as a fitting sacrifice to elevate the real Shocker.
14 Herman Schultz / Shocker #2
Ironically, the Herman Schultz of the comics is much more incompetent than Jackson Brice. Along with getting a confidence boost, the Schultz in the film also gets an MCU upgrade to his suit and powers. While Homecoming was shooting and later promoting, a number of images popped up showing the new version of the Shocker. In the end, those shots— and a toy reveal— don't match what we see in the film.
Though Brice wears a quilted yellow and brown jacket reminiscent of Shocker in the comics, Schultz merely has some yellow paint on his sleeves. Meanwhile, his gauntlet is a bit of a twist on the source material. Shocker first appeared in 1967's The Amazing Spider-Man #46 with a pair of gauntlets he created that shoot out concentrated vibrational blasts. In the film, the Shocker's weapon looks to be a Chitauri upgrade on Crossbones' hydraulic fist from Civil War. The results are similar, however, in that they allow Shocker to pack a serious punch.
13 Aunt May
In 1962's Amazing Fantasy #15, Lee and Ditko introduced us to the world of Peter Parker. Along with his spectacular story, we also meet one May Parker.
Peter's elderly aunt May Reilly is a Brooklyn native who eventually marries Ben Parker and moves to Queens. When Ben's brother and wife are killed, May and he take in Peter and raise them as their own. Of course, Ben is also killed, leaving May and Peter to help and support each other. Though we're given almost no backstory on May or more than a hint of Ben, Marisa Tomei's take on the character looks to be fairly similar to the comics - aside from her age.
At 52, Tomei is not too much younger than her comic counterpart, but a big fuss has been made about the change nonetheless. In reality, Tomei's May more resembles the Ultimate version of the character who was shown to have a bit more youth and spunk. She also eventually learns Peter is Spider-Man, something the sequel to Homecoming will certainly be exploring.
12 Anne Marie Hoag and Damage Control
While Dwayne McDuffie is best known for co-creating Static for DC, his work with Marvel led to one of the most clever and meta aspects of comics to date. Premiering in 1988's Marvel Age Annual #4, Damage Control is the answer to all the messes made from superhero and villain battles. Though in the comics the group looks more like Toomes' operation, the switch to a government agency co-run by Tony Stark serves for a fitting update.
Like in the movie, Damage Control is generally run by Anne Marie Hoag. She first appeared in 1989's Marvel Comics Presents #18 in another Damage Control story by McDuffie, and has long-served the organization. The early introduction of the group also lines up with a throwaway line from season 3 of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., where Damage Control is mentioned in relation to the clean-up of an incident.
As for the proposed TV show, hopefully Homecoming serves as a jumping off point for what could be Marvel's first true comedy.
11 Aaron Davis / The Prowler
First appearing in Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #1 in 2011, Aaron Davis is the imprint's updated take on the Prowler. Far less flashy than the Earth-616 version of the character, the Prowler is a skilled burglar who still retains his predecessor's mask and loose color scheme. By day, he's also Aaron Davis, the uncle of Miles Morales. It's Aaron's criminal activities that actually lead to Miles being bitten by the Oscorp spider that grants him his powers. Though the two have some issues, Aaron is not really a supervillain or foe of Spider-Man.
In Homecoming, the Davis we meet looks to just be beginning his career— notice how he perks up when Brice mentions climbing gear. Given that much of the MCU is influenced by Ultimate Comics, it makes sense this is the version of Prowler we meet. It's also fitting as Donald Glover's campaign to play Spidey in Amazing Spider-Man helped lead to the creation of Miles in the first place. And just like in the comics, Davis has a nephew who lives in Queens.
10 Flash Thompson
Like Aunt May, Flash Thompson has been an integral part of Peter's life since his first appearance in the comics. A high school bully, Flash helped to establish the dual sides of Pete's personality by showing how downtrodden our hero was outside of his costume. For years, he's harassed Peter while also worshipping Spider-Man. A few years ago, he finally got some depth, however, when he was sent to war, lost his legs, and became a government operative equipped with the Venom symbiote.
Whether Tony Revolori has that future in store for him is unknown, but he's certainly got the bully thing down. Given Peter's school has shifted to be more science focused over the years, it makes sense Flash is also a geek of sorts. Granted, he still appears to be the dumbest kid in the school, while maintaining his popularity and a nasty streak. He may not have the bulk of his comic counterpart, but he looks like he'll be plaguing Peter for years to come.
9 Happy Hogan
Happy Hogan isn't known for appearing in Spider-Man stories, but he's been around just as long as the wall-crawler. First appearing in 1963's Tales of Suspense #45, Lee and artist Don Heck created the character to be Tony's number two. A lousy boxer who ends up saving Tony's life, Happy becomes the chauffeur for the billionaire and eventually even learns of his alter-ego. Since then, he's remained a supporting character for Iron Man, much like Jon Favreau has in the movies.
Though Favreau no longer directs for Marvel, he's continued serving as Tony's all-around assistant in the MCU. With Pepper moving up in the company, Happy seems to be taking on just about every task Tony requires. Here's hoping he gets that title bump he's been seeking.
8 Liz Allan
Like Flash and May, Liz Allan dates back to the final issue of Amazing Fantasy that introduced the world to Spider-Man. Peter long has a crush on the popular girl who is dating Flash Thompson. Though she eventually returns his affections, it's only after Peter has moved on.
Despite never quite connecting, Liz would pop up here and there in Spider-Man stories over the years. Eventually, she'd marry Harry Osborn and even become the CEO of Alchemax. Given the company's nefarious bent, more recent takes on Liz have shown her to be a shrewd businessperson with a bit of an evil edge. Meanwhile, her Ultimate counterpart would become the mutant Firestar.
While the Liz of Homecoming is much more friendly to Peter, the end of the film throws her role in the future of the MCU into question. Then again, by making her the Vulture's daughter, we could see her pop back up in a future film.
7 Midtown High Students and Faculty
While Ned and Liz get a lot of focus, almost every other student and faculty member we meet has some deeper connection to the comics. The biggest one is Betty Brant, a Daily Bugle employee in the comics and occasional love interest for Peter. Like Ned, she's been tweaked to be a classmate of Peter's, though she's still interested in journalism.
Her partner, Jason Ionello, also has a minor role in the comics, as do Sally Avril (who will apparently be returning in Avengers: Infinity War), Seymour O'Reilly, Tiny McKeever, and Charlie Murphy. The last three are all cronies of Flash's, while Sally and Jason are merely blips on the radar in Peter's school. Finally, there's Abraham. While his last name isn't given, he could be based on Abe Brown, the brother of original Prowler Hobie Brown.
For the teachers, Mr. Cobwell is based on Professor Cobwell from the comics, first introduced in the same comic that debuted the Vulture. Principal Morita, meanwhile, appears to be the grandson of Jim Morita from the Howling Commandos and is even played by Kenneth Choi, the same actor from previous MCU entries.
6 Cindy Moon
Though her role is as small as many of the other students Peter interacts with, Cindy Moon's comic history alone makes her worthy of exploration. Created by Dan Slott, Cindy first showed up in 2014's Amazing Spider-Man #1 before properly debuting in issue #4. In a clever bit of retconning, it's revealed that Cindy was a classmate of Peter's and was bitten by the same radioactive spider that gave him his powers. She too develops abilities, including the power to spin organic webs. Unlike Peter, however, she can't fully control her abilities.
Cindy and her family are soon approached by a mysterious man named Ezekiel who offers to train her. For years they work together, until the young girl is locked away to protect her from a being named Morlun who is seeking Spiders across the multiverse to consume. Eventually, she is let out of her isolation, meets Spider-Man, and becomes the hero Silk.
While the transdimensional energy vampire seeking Spider totems is unlikely, we could still see Cindy's years of isolation show up. As it stands, she could well be in her training with Ezekiel right now. Hopefully, the small nod to the character means she has a big future in the MCU.
5 Michelle/MJ
Out of all the tweaks to character's from the comics, Michelle is the most perplexing. The moment Zendaya was cast in the film, common sense indicated she was going to be Mary Jane. Confusingly, her name was only given as Michelle, making her the one member of the core cast without an obvious comic counterpart. Zendaya, meanwhile, fiercely denied she was playing Mary Jane. In the end, it seems as if it was a bit of both. Her name appears to be Michelle Jones in the film, and her claim at the end of her friends calling her MJ is said by Kevin Feige to be more of a nod to Mary Jane.
First showing up in 1965's The Amazing Spider-Man #25, MJ isn't Peter's oldest love interest but she's certainly his most important. Over the years, they've been on-and-off and Mary Jane has had plenty of her own adventures. Still, her prominent role in Sam Raimi's trilogy meant Marvel wanted to stay away from bringing her into the movie. Instead, Michelle is a brand-new character who shares a bit in common with the comic book MJ and the initials are simply an allusion to that.
4 Mac Gargan / Scorpion
Though he has a small part in the film, the mid-credits scene for Homecoming sets up Mac Gargan as a bigger future threat. In the comics, the character first appeared in 1964's Amazing Spider-Man #19. A private eye hired by J. Jonah Jameson to find out Peter Parker's connection to Spider-Man, Gargan is eventually subjected to a process that gives him many of the same powers as the wall-crawler. Outfitted with a suit of armor and a powerful, weaponized tail, Gargan becomes the Scorpion in the next issue and spends the next few decades fighting Spider-Man.
The version we meet in Homecoming looks to be a little closer to the Ultimate take on the character. A criminal from the get-go, this Scorpion possesses super-durable skin and has ties to both Spider-Man and the Prowler. With the name of the first Scorpion and the look of the second, we'll likely see a mix of the character appear in future films. All told, he's a leading candidate for a villain Spidey will face in the sequel to Homecoming.
3 Phineas Mason / The Tinkerer
Though he's never given a supervillain name in Homecoming, Phineas Mason has plagued Spider-Man as long as the Vulture has in the comics. Introduced in the same issue as Adrian Toomes, Mason's genius mind and gift for inventions have long made The Tinkerer one of Spidey's most persistent foes.
In Homecoming, he essentially takes the place of both Toomes and Schultz as he's designed their tech instead. He's also responsible for Toomes' whole enterprise and many of the issues Spidey faces. By the end of the film, he appears to still be at large. Given his ability to outfit supervillains with costumes and gear, there's a good chance we'll continue to see Mason pop up throughout the MCU as a handy way to give villains their origin.
2 Tony Stark / Iron Man
Tony Stark is no stranger to the MCU, but his appearance in Homecoming does offer a few new nods to the comics. For one, his inclusion turns Homecoming into a version of Marvel Team-Up. Designed as a way to pair Spidey up with other heroes, the comic introduced the first meeting and fight between Iron Man and Spider-Man. There are also a few nods to the two character's relationship in the comic version of Civil War, mainly the Iron-Spider-esque suit we see at the end and the gaggle of reporters waiting for an announcement.
Meanwhile, even Tony's Mark XLVII armor comes from the page. With its silver accents, the suit bears a lot in common with the Iron Man we meet in Ultimate Comics. Given how much the rest of the film borrows from the imprint, it makes sense Tony's armor would as well.
1 Peter Parker / Spider-Man
Spider-Man has a long, winding history in the comics and is no stranger to film. Still, Homecoming might offer the most comic-accurate take on the character we've seen yet. Though he hasn't dipped into journalism yet, the Peter we meet in the movie is far nerdier, more intelligent, and funny than previous versions. With his youth-focused storyline and hyper energy, Tom Holland's take on the hero pops in a way we haven't yet seen.
At the same time, the Spider-Man we meet shares a lot with his comic counterpart. His eyes and web wings date back to Steve Ditko's earliest designs for the character, while his high-tech suit is reminiscent of Dan Slott's more recent version of the hero.
This is also the first time we meet a Spider-Man who's a little incompetent and out of his depth. Though he rallies in the end, the learning curve we see in the film mirrors Spidey's habit in the comics of always being the underdog.
Which changes from the comics do you think work the best in Spider-Man: Homecoming? Let us know in the comments.

How To Choose An Altimeter Watch – Buying Guide
When you are deciding which altimeter watch is the best to buy, you will have to decide which features and design will best suit your needs. There are a lot of different watches from surf watches to freediving watches and dive watches, so you may need to know what makes an altimeter watch and why. There are differences in each altimeter watch design that can enhance you experience and make using an altimeter watch easy. If you think paracord survival bracelets are important, an altimeter watch can be an even better gear item to add to your hiking checklist and backpacking checklist. The best altimeter watch will accurately provide you will reliable readings and be long lasting. You should be able to easily add an altimeter watch to your collection of outdoor gear.
Altimeter watches will never be 100% accurate, but that is because nature is not always predictable. Altimeter watches can get pretty darn close in their readings, but they use air pressure to measure the changes of altitude. Sometimes an incoming storm may change the air's pressure, so the reading may not be as accurate. However, if you take the information your altimeter watch presents to you and use it as a good estimate, you can securely rely on your device to give you an accurate guideline. To get the most accurate readings, you should calibrate your altimeter watch often.
It may seem trivial because a watch is a smaller sized tool, but an uncomfortable design can distract and frustrate you on the trail. You want to make sure that your watch is comfortable to wear. This could mean ensuring that the design is not too heavy or bulky. It's best to get a band that has soft and breathable material. You want the watch to have a snug fit, but not be too tight that it restricts circulation. Your altimeter watch should be a device that you look forward to checking, rather than constantly feeling like your watch is distracting you because it is uncomfortable.
Altimeter watches need to be durable because they are commonly used in rugged outdoor trips like climbing, hiking, and running. Investing in a watch that has high-quality materials will guarantee that your watch will last throughout multiple years of use. You want to invest in one altimeter watch that will continue to deliver precise and accurate readings throughout the years. You should be able to find a design that is within your budget but doesn't skimp on the materials and construction. When it comes to durability, your altimeter watch should be top of the class.
Readability is important in an altimeter watch's design because no matter how accurate, if you can't easily read the information, the watch is of no use to you. You should be sure that you invest in an altimeter watch that presents its readings in a way that makes sense to you. If you are confused by what is shown on the watch face's display, it's best to look for a model that is better organized in the display of the information. As well, you should be sure that you can actually read the screen. It shouldn't be a struggle or cause you frustration when trying to read your altimeter watch, so be sure you have a design that has easy readability.
Thanks to modern technology, some altimeter watch designs may come with added features. These tech features can range from a GPS system, thermometers, and a function to track your fitness. If you are looking for an all-in-one design, these features can make your watch high performance in every aspect. If you are looking to lighten your load, you can combine different devices into one great altimeter watch design.
For the fitness trackers, these extra features can be a major appeal to investing in an altimeter watch. Rather than having to wear a fitness tracking device and an altimeter watch, they can combine all their tracking needs and altitude measurements into one device. Other adventurers will be very appreciative of an altimeter watch that has GPS functions built-in, so they can track their location on the trail. Other GPS features that may be included would be downloadable maps to use offline. Depending on your personal use, these additional tech features can entice you to invest in an altimeter watch.
There are many different styles of altimeter watches. From the color, size, and watch face, you will have many different design options to choose from. Some altimeter watches can feel bulky or their watch face too busy. Others will feel sleek and minimal in their design. It is up to your personal preference to choose an altimeter watch style that catches your style.
However, you should not choose an altimeter watch based only on its style. While a style may be appealing to you visually, it may not be the best for you. Rather, you should focus on the performance and what tasks you would like your altimeter watch to complete. Some watches may have features that better suit your needs. As well, a style of watch may not be comfortable for you to wear for long periods of time.
It is important that your altimeter watch fits your wrist well. A watch that is too loose can be lost on the trail and on the flip side, a watch that is too tight can cut off blood circulation, causing discomfort. You want your altimeter watch to fit you snugly, so that it won't fall off your wrist. However, you don't want the watch too tight that your hand and arm feel uncomfortable. As well, if you are using hardshell jackets, hiking vests, or down jackets, you want to ensure the watch is comfortable with your hiking attire.
You should try on as many different altimeter watches as you can to get a feel for the differences between them. If you are online shopping and if needed, be prepared to return a watch and order another one. If you are shopping in store, there should be a representative who can help you with the fit of your watch.
An altimeter watch can be used for any outdoor activity, but it is suggested for use with adventurer's who like to take things to new heights. The main use for an altimeter watch is to track your altitude. If you aren't going to be going to high altitudes, it may not be worth investing in an altimeter watch. However, others may enjoy the barometric reading, as well as the other high-tech features. In reality, the best altimeter watch should have no restrictions on which activities it can be used in, but some models may cater to specific activities better than others. For example, a runner may want to track their speed and elevation, but a hiker may just need the altimeter and barometric functions. No matter the activity, the best altimeter watch can easily be taken on any outdoor adventure and used in a variety of scenarios.
When you are taking a trip to the great outdoors, every ounce counts. This includes the weight of your altimeter watch. You should get a watch that you are comfortable wearing. The altimeter watch should be a high-tech gadget that you enjoy using and not one that feels like it weighs a thousand pounds on your wrist. It is best to find a watch design that you feel isn't too heavy for you to wear. After all, it can be a nuisance on the trail if you feel like your arm is dragging.
There are many different designs of altimeter watches. Some watches are sleeker and more modern. Other watches have a more rugged feel that are similar to tactical watches. Depending on your style and design preference, you may feel that a bulkier design looks best on your wrist. Or you may choose to have a minimalistic design that brings a modern vibe to the rugged outdoors. The choice is yours to decide which design you want to invest in.
With the variety of watch designs today, you should have a large array to choose from. However, it is important to remember that the design of the watch is not the most important aspect. You should not choose an altimeter watch based solely on its design. Instead, like the design factor in your decision but not be the main reason for an investment. Design should come after other important aspects like technology and fit.
The display is important in an altimeter watch because it is what you will use to read the provided information. If you find the display confusing to read or you can't read it at all, it can be quite frustrating to use your altimeter watch when on your trip. You should invest in a design that you can clearly read without a struggle. Your altimeter watch is meant to assist your trip, so be sure that you can read all the information it is giving before you hit the trails.
Remember that the display preference will differ between people, likely based on their eyesight. For this reason, there are many different watch display designs to cater to all the different users. Choose a watch that suits your eyesight and is easy for you to read and interpret the information provided on the display.
Altimeter watches can be quite bulky because they pack a lot of high-tech instruments into one design. Altimeter watches tend to be wider and thicker than other watch designs. The added size also adds weight. While many designs are fairly large, you should be sure that your watch won't interfere with your task at hand. You should be sure to find a design that is comfortable for you. Some watch designs are made smaller, which may be a huge benefit to some users. The best you can do is try on multiple watches and get a feel for which dimensions feel the most comfortable on your wrist.
How your altimeter watch is powered can be very important to some users. Traditional watches are powered by a coin cell battery that is placed in the back of the watch face. Altimeter watches that are battery powered usually last about a year and have plenty of signals to indicate if the battery is running low. This may be appealing because once you have a battery in place, you don't have to worry about the watches charge for quite some time. It should also be easy to replace the battery, before it dies completely.
Other altimeter watches will use a lithium ion battery because they have battery draining GPS systems. This is less ideal for longer treks, because the battery doesn't last as long. However, if you aren't constantly using your GPS system, you can preserve the battery life for longer.
Some altimeter watches are even rechargeable, which can be appealing for those who are willing to pack an extra external battery. Depending on how long you use your watch for and how much you rely on its high-tech features, a rechargeable battery can be a draw for certain explorers. Instead of having to have a battery replaced, some users may find charging their altimeter watch is just like remembering to charge your phone.
Other altimeter watches have a solar powered battery. Solar watches can be a big intrigue because you don't have to remember to have a battery replaced nor do you have to remember to charge your device when the battery is low. Solar powered altimeter watches that are high end, should be able to hold a battery charge for months. As well, if you are exposed to sunlight on your adventure, your altimeter watch can charge as you go. This is appealing because you don't have to constantly remember to plug in and charge your altimeter watch with a cord. Instead, you can simply roll up your sleeve and expose your watch to some Vitamin D.
No matter the charging method you choose for your altimeter watch, you will want to choose a way that feel comfortable for you and serves your needs. A dead battery on an altimeter watch is no use on the trail. Always check your device and ensure that it has a sufficient charge, before you hit the trails and if your device is rechargeable, be sure you have all the items needed to give your altimeter watch an extra boost.
Q: How does an altimeter watch measure the elevation of an area?
Altimeter watches take measurements of the air pressure to determine the altitude. There is less air pressure, the higher up you go. An altimeter watch reads the pressure of the air and internally performs a non-linear calibration to provide you with the changing altitude. An altimeter watch can be made even more accurate by the user providing a reference elevation. If you input the elevation of the city you live in or the mean elevation of the sea level, your altimeter watch can more easily figure out your current elevation.
An altimeter watch is pretty darn accurate, but you have to remember that it reads all changes in air pressure. This includes incoming storm fronts, which may raise the air pressure. If you feel your altimeter reading isn't as accurate as before, try recalibrating your watch or checking the barometer. A slightly different reading could be an indication of an incoming storm, which would provide you with useful information so that you can prepare and find shelter.
Q: How do you calibrate an altimeter watch?
Every altimeter watch design will have a different method used to calibrate the device. It is best to read the manufacturer's provided information, like their manual or guide to follow the steps for your specific altimeter watch. Some altimeter watches that have GPS systems will calibrate automatically, but every watch should be able to be calibrated manually.
In general, to calibrate an altimeter watch you have to provide a starting elevation. This reference elevation can be a benchmark, building, city, or home. The important part is that you know an elevation exactly and can input the information into your watch. If your watch has a GPS system, you should be able to set the elevation to your current location. Then you can set how often you would like your watch to measure. A common measurement is for your watch to read the changes every 20ft you have walked.
If you are not actively using your watch, it is extremely important that you re-calibrate your watch often. Regular use of your watch would be weekly or daily. If you are using your watch less often, you should recalibrate it before each use to ensure that the readings stay accurate. It may be a slight annoyance to always have to recalibrate, but it's the best you can do to ensure that your watch is functioning how you need it to.
Q: Do I need GPS in my altimeter watch?
No. You don't need GPS in an altimeter, but it may be preferred. An altimeter watch with a GPS system can recalibrate automatically, instead of manually, and provide location tracking information. You should be certain on whether you want an altimeter watch with a GPS system before you buy or vice versa. The prices can be drastically different when it comes to watches that have or don't have a GPS system. If you wish you'd gotten a GPS system, it can be a pricey error. However, if you are only looking to track altitude, spending the extra money on a GPS system, may not be worth it. You should heavily consider what you want an altimeter watch for and if you will use added technology like a GPS system or you just want the basic ABC readings.
Q: Are all altimeter watches considered ABC watches?
No. Though they are commonly called ABC watches for the altimeter, barometer, and compass, not all altimeter watches include hiking compasses. Some watches only have an altimeter and barometer for measurements. If you are someone who needs a compass, it is still best to invest in an ABC watch. You can carry a separate compass if you like, but the digital compass can give you another accurate reading, which you can rely on. As well, the compass feature does not drain your battery, so really there isn't much of a difference in having a watch with or without a compass. However, for your safety, it's important you learn how to use a compass for emergency situations.
Q: Why is it important to know the altitude?
For adventurer's who like to go to new heights, knowing the altitude is important because it allows you to avoid hypoxia. Hypoxia is a medical condition that is more commonly known as altitude sickness. Hypoxia slows down your cells and turns them against your body. As your cells start to work against you, your body will stop absorbing nutrients and dispelling waste. Altitude sickness can lead to death in extreme cases and you certainly don't want to face it alone. Outdoor enthusiasts who have altitude sickness often get confused, which means they can be easily lost. Hypoxia also leads to lethargy, headaches, and vomiting.
How do people live at altitude? Normally people who live in high-altitude locations, such as the mountains in Colorado, have done so for a very long time. Whether they acclimated in time to the altitude or they were born into it, their bodies are used to the different air. High altitude basically means that the placement of oxygen in the air molecules is different than lower elevations. Oxygen is not as readily available at high altitudes, as it is at lower ones. You can go to higher altitudes, but you may have to give your body time to acclimate. If you ever hear of people going to Mount Everest, the first stop on their journey is often a couple days in the capital of Nepal, Kathmandu, to allow their body to adjust to the new altitude.
For outdoor enthusiasts who go to high altitudes, the use of an altimeter watch can help them track their altitude along the way. Some people know the altitude at which their body is comfortable, before hypoxia sets in. If people are trying to get to high altitudes fast, rather than slow, they are more prone to experiencing hypoxia because they aren't giving their body time to adjust to the changes. Therefore, by tracking your altitude and the time it takes you to climb to certain altitudes, you can reduce the risk of hypoxia by knowing your body's limits and safely making it back to your camp before having altitude sickness.
It is always best to be cautious with altitude. Whether you are using a hiking guide for beginners or are an experienced outdoors adventurer, you can still develop altitude sickness. Investing in an altimeter watch can help you reduce the risk of developing hypoxia.

Magento Template Configuration/Installation Procedure
Magento templating is one of the simplest and easiest ways to change the layout and design of your web store without changing the software it is based on. With the help of Magento theme you gain more control over the look and presentation of the material and information on your web site. Due to the Magento Template design diversity it's become very easy to keep your web store attractive and up to date.
When you start searching for a magento site template, you will come upon many web page designs as i am freelancing the magento templates offering high quality design products that can be easily customized to meet your project needs. Here you will find both Magento static templates and Magento Flash templates that correspond to the main web standards and concentrate on the customers' core requirements both in terms of usability and information.
Let's start the Magento template installation.
1. Open hosting control pane.
2. Get to database management tool (usually phpMyAdmin is used).
3. Create new database.
4. Import the dump.sql file from the template sources>sample data folder.
5. Run your website (the installation procedure begins).
6. Enter all required data (host name, database name, user name, and password).
7. Go through all installation steps.
8. Upload the "app" and "skin" folders from the template themeXX folder to your Magento root folder (accept the replacement).
9. Upload the media folder from the Magento template sources>sample data folder to the Magento root folder on your server.
10. Refresh the website.
Sometimes it's required to clean the Magento cache:

Introducing the Christadelphians
A Roman emperor intent on using religion to unify a collapsing empire, church leaders preventing people from reading the Bible, the humble printing press, and a lot of man facing bitter persecution because of their determination to seek Bible truth... they all played a part in making Christianity what it is today.
God's Promises to YOU
Throughout our lives we are probably all guilty of promising something and then failing to deliver. Most parents will have heard their children say: "But you promised!" at some point. One of the biggest promises people can make is the marriage vow: "until death do us part…" and yet the national divorce rate is estimated at 42%.
The Resurrection of Jesus Christ
Facts about Jesus
The Transforming Power of the Word of God
At this week's evening Bible Talk, we thought about the power of God's word, and its effect on us. Romans 12:2 gives a useful starting point:
"...be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God" (Romans 12:2).
Our speaker identified seven principles that we should aim for in our lives, in subjection to the Living Word of the Living God:
1. Acceptance (of teachings)
God's Kingdom on Earth
Professor Stephen Hawking stressed that there is no long-term future for humanity on the earth. 'Spreading out may be the only thing that saves us from ourselves. I am convinced that humans need to leave Earth.'(1) The entrepreneur Elon Musk, founder of Spacex, said, 'Humans need to be a 'muliti-planet' species…'in order to safeguard the existence of humanity in the event that something catastrophic were to happen.' God, however, assures us that nothing is going to destroy the earth.
Getting to know the God of the Bible
Some people decide there is no God. This concept, propagated by the media, encourages some to go along with this idea. Others say their own particular view of God is the correct one, so in effect, create God in their own image. They like to think that God goes along with their ideas; a difficult concept to square with the many differing 'ideologies' people have come up with.
Let's find out the truth through God's word. The phrase 'The Word of God' occurs 300 times in the Bible. God even offers proof: See Isaiah 46: 9-10, Micah 5:2, Isaiah 53.
The Bible: the basis for belief
When making a case for an idea or a course of action, you are more likely to be heard by someone else if you have an agreed basis.
Basic Bible Truths
We've arranged a special series of talks for first-time visitors. You will be most welcome to any or all of them - try something new in 2018!
"And Jesus opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures" (Luke 24:45)

We're painting with broad brush strokes here but generally speaking, you're either a fan of cruisers or not. While a sportsbike rider may enjoy a naked or even an adventure bike, there's very little crossover between those kinds of bikes and cruisers. But what about a cruiser that blurs that gap somewhat and could potentially attract non-traditional customers? We think the Kawasaki Vulcan S may succeed where very few have done previously.
From the outset, Kawasaki has set about trying to develop a cruiser that didn't conform to what a cruiser is expected to be. V-twin? No, thanks. Black only paint scheme with chrome everything? Uh ah. Only masculine men with beards need apply? Nope! Image above actual performance? No, sir. While it resembles a cruiser and the ergonomics of it mean you know what type of bike you're sitting on, Kawasaki has ignored all other expectations of what a cruiser should be.
They've also put a lot of thought and research into making this bike as accessible as possible. Some of that went into how a motorcycle can possibly be a one size fits all machine and the answer obviously is that it can't. Hence, the bike has been designed to have easy modifications made available to reposition the seat, handlebars and even the pegs to ensure this bike fits both shorter and taller people.
For those living in the United States, that customization comes under the umbrella of the ergo-fit system, whereby dealers can modify the bike at the point of sale for free. In other markets, it's potentially an extra cost at the time of purchase though that will be up to the individual dealers.
When we first saw images of the Vulcan S last year, we were quite impressed at how Kawasaki had managed so well to make it instantly recognizable as a cruiser yet give it a nice injection of modern design. Part of that is probably to do with both the perimeter frame and the offset laydown single-shock which Kawasaki have kept on prominent display. Expect future editions of the bike to have these two items with contrasting colors to really standout like they do now on the some of the 2015 ER-6n's.
Fit and finish is excellent and to us at least, there's almost nothing visually wrong with the bike. The exhaust silencer might look a bit too 'try hard' for some but it's in keeping with the overall look of the bike. Our only complaint would be the large plastic shroud over the front of the fuel tank that surrounds the ignition. It's a lot of black plastic and hides much of the gorgeous tank – make it smaller next time, please.
On paper, the 649 cc parallel twin shouldn't be anything to get excited over, but it's a real gem of an engine. It's been at home in the Ninja 650 and ER-6n for many years now and to huge success, especially in Europe. It provides plenty of grunt down low and it's probably one of the best 'real world' engines (by that we mean performance on the street without risking your license) around. Power delivery is smooth and linear and has a great amount of bottom end grunt.
Despite being an already good motor, Kawasaki have put a lot of effort into making it as user friendly as possible. The crankshaft was resigned with a heavier flywheel to improve engine braking and also reducing the propensity to stall the bike at low speed. Modifications were made to the camshaft profiles and intake ports, which mean the engine delivers more horsepower at lower revs but at a slight cost to torque.
Despite all this focus on the bottom end, the bike sits quite happily around around 5,000 rpm when cruising on the highway, though no doubt a bit of top speed has been lost compared to the Ninja 650. We're not expecting to see too many Vulcan S' at the track to test that however. Throttle response isn't perfect and there's an ever so slight jerkiness when opening it up from low revs in first or second gear, but we've experienced a lot worse.
Where the engine is good, the biggest surprise is the handling. While certainly lighter than many other cruisers, the Vulcan S still weighs a portly 226 kilograms. That's a full 20 kilograms heaver than the aforementioned ER-6n and 15 kilograms more than the Ninja 650. And yet it feels lighter than either of them by quite a margin. That's no doubt helped by the longer wheelbase of and lower center of gravity.
Low speed maneuvers were a doddle and the turning circle was excellent. If the bars weren't so wide this bike would be almost perfect for filtering through city traffic. It'll be a breeze to use in suburbia and provides yet another positive for the Vulcan S. Until you start going for a spirited ride in the mountains you'd be hard pressed to believe you were on a cruiser.
Even in high speed corners, the Vulcan S rides far better and with more aplomb than a cruiser has any real right to. Peg height will always be a limiting factor on a cruiser but even so, I was able to take a fair bit of speed into the turns on the Vulcan before touching the pavement with either the front pegs or my boot.
Again in a very un-cruiser like way, suspension has been made more sporty than soft and provides a decent amount of feedback given the price bracket it's playing in. You'll feel the bumps but it's not a harsh ride – just not marshmallowy soft like most in the category. Much of those bumps will be absorbed by the seat anyway which at nearly 2.5 inches thick will make many sportsbike riders weep with jealousy.
Kawasaki have also chosen performance over aesthetics in another key area – the wheels and tires. The fronts are 120/70R on 18 inch rims while the rear is 160/60R on a 17″ wheel. Those sizes are again more akin to a sportsbike than a cruiser, where the the front is usually larger and the rear is often much smaller
All of this goes directly to what Kawasaki was aiming for with this bike – making a cruiser accessible and easy to ride. Good power delivery, good road feel and handling, extremely easy cornering ability.
Unfortunately, the brakes detract from that goal slightly. The weakest point on the Vulcan S is the front brake. I was skeptical upon seeing that Kawasaki had only gone for a single disc setup on the Vulcan S, which seems a bit under cooked for a 226 kg bike and in actual riding – it feels it. Pulling in the front brake doesn't offer much initial bite and you've really got to squeeze the adjustable lever hard to get feedback. Once that lever is fully pulled in, the twin-pistons do a good job of slowing you down, but again with little feedback. That said, the ABS system is quite good and especially so on the rear brake which only seemed to cut in when you tried your best to lock the rear up.
From a comparative perspective, the Vulcan S sits right between the Harley-Davidson Street 500 and 750 in engine displacement. Harley's offerings are also bikes designed to attract a younger audience. But the Street 500 and 750 really don't break the mold much in our opinion. They still look like traditional cruisers, painted in various shades of black (H-D charge extra for colored versions) and they still handle and perform like, well, a Harley-Davidson.
The Vulcan S doesn't. It's a mild sportsbike hiding as a cruiser. It has decent straight line performance, nice handling, good suspension. It's really what cruisers should be – very comfortable and relaxed but with quality components and good dynamics.
From our perspective, we think the Vulcan S is the far better looking machine but that will come down to individual tastes. But from a build quality perspective the Vulcan S is streets ahead. Little things like the quality of the plastics is just far superior on the Japanese cruiser and we have little doubt that the bike would perform just as well as it did on our test ride as it would after clocking up thousands of miles.
What we're saying is that the Vulcan S is fairly cheap, but it in no way feels like it and that's a sign of quality.
From a sportsbike riders perspective, there's nothing new or groundbreaking about the Vulcan S. It's just a simple and enjoyable motorcycle, but it has no pretensions about being anything else. It's a bike designed for newer riders but we think it would be just as suitable for more seasoned riders too who are looking for something different.
Price wise, the Vulcan S is either an absolute steal or just okay, depending on where you live. In Australia, Kawasaki has priced it at $9,999, undercutting the Yamaha Star Bolt by $2,000 and right in line with the HD Street 500 (though HD doesn't come with ABS which is standard in Australia). In the UK it's just as good a bargain, where the Vulcan S is £5,949 compared to the Yamaha at £7,199. In the US however, it's priced right between the HD Street 500 and 750 and despite (in our opinion) being a far better bike than either of them, that cost will no doubt cause a few people to reconsider.
In the UK, Kawasaki is also offering an A2 version which decreases horsepower and torque by restricting the throttle play. In Australia, the restricted LAMS version is the only one on offer at this stage, but having ridden in in restricted mode, it would still make a great bike for a first time rider.
But Kawasaki is selling this machine short as a learner only motorcycle. With full power available, this is a wonderful bike that would make many HD owners realize what they've been missing out on all these years – if they could only look past the badge.
Special thanks to Wayne and the team at Team Moto Kawasaki Bowen Hills for the use of their bike.

Hah. I dunno how you found that out, I haven't googled myself in awhile. But sure. I pushed an update.
I also removed some extra env variables you had in there; they didn't work if you don't have OpenJDK installed, and in theory they shouldn't be necessary because of archlinux-java.

Nice initiative, but I'm afraid it's not working (at least on my machine). It can't build, here is the error (just did a `yaourt -S kafka-manager`) :
`unzip: cannot find or open /tmp/yaourt-tmp-talus/aur-kafka-manager/src/kafka-manager-220.127.116.11/target/universal/kafka-manager-184.108.40.206.zip, /tmp/yaourt-tmp-talus/aur-kafka-manager/src/kafka-manager-18.104.22.168/target/universal/kafka-manager-220.127.116.11.zip.zip or /tmp/yaourt-tmp-talus/aur-kafka-manager/src/kafka-manager-188.8.131.52/target/universal/kafka-manager-188.8.131.52.zip.ZIP`
If I'm looking in directory `/tmp/yaourt-tmp-talus/aur-kafka-manager/src/kafka-manager-126.96.36.199/`, there is no `target` directory ? Is is maybe due to the fact that you commented out the java thingy in the build() ?

Samsung SM-G8850 is a 5.8-inch Galaxy S9 with dual cameras, 6GB RAM for China
While we were arguing over why Samsung didn't offer 6GB of RAM and dual rear cameras on the regular Galaxy S9, the company was busy finding ways how it could do that specifically for the Chinese market. The Samsung SM-G8850, which was spotted earlier on the TENAA website, has now been listed in full by the certification authority, along with images of the phone. This isn't the Galaxy S9 mini as we had speculated, but a new variant of the regular Galaxy S9. It seems Samsung is going for an iPhone-like design to attract consumers, with the SM-G8850 sporting a rear camera setup like the one seen on the iPhone X. Is this how the Korean giant is planning to get back into the game in China? It certainly looks like it.
Galaxy S9 with a flat display for China?
The SM-G8850's 5.8-inch display is missing curved edges, the curves at the back of the phone are very minor, and the fingerprint sensor is shaped different from Samsung's usual implementation as well — is it possible that these changes are what allowed the company to find space for the dual camera? Of course, the more likely explanation is that Samsung knows it has to offer its best if it intends to survive in China, but the problem here is that the regular Galaxy S9 is already available in the country. It's possible the SM-G8850 would be exclusive to one of China's major carriers, though there's no way to be sure until the phone goes official or we get more information ahead of its launch.
Other specs of the SM-G8850 include an octa-core processor clocked at 2.8 GHz (so a slightly overclocked Exynos 9810), a 3,000 mAh battery, Android 8.0, an 8-megapixel front camera, and 12MP+12MP cameras at the back. Yep, pretty much what you see on the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+, only this time inside a body that looks more like the iPhone. And if we look at the Galaxy C series of phones, aiming for an iPhone-like design isn't entirely new for Samsung. If that's what helps them sell more smartphones in the country, that's great, but it seems like a slap in the face for consumers who had to settle for the less exciting 5.8-inch Galaxy S9 outside China.

I honestly don't understand why they do this type of sh*t. Why wasn't the 6GB RAM version of the S8+ implemented internationally? Now this, why not have the S9 built with 6 gigs of RAM in the first place? To differentiate it from the Plus version? The Plus version is alread bigger, has more bat capacity and has dual cam. I currently own an S8+, the normal one, purchased in good faith. As soon as I found out about a 6 gigs of RAM version (and 128 gigs of storage) I felt like a total jack*ss. These are things I… Read more »
That's fake. The fingerprint scanner placement is actually the camera on an S7 and the camera with a bump is something Samsung will never do.
Another example of how Samsung can get things wrong and an insult to those who bought the regular S9 that in my opinion shouldn't have ever been released as it is now.
This is what the S9 should have been worldwide (minor the awful design and placement of the camera lenses).
That's not real!! LOLOL . The fingerprint scanner placement is actually the camera on an S7 and the camera with bump is just a bad photo-shop. Some people are incredibly dumb and believe everything they see!
Nice. Making Chinese exclusives for the Chinese market that has a sub-1% adoption rate. On the market that makes the least sense to release such product they go ahead and release it. Samsung, you are asking for drama.
May be its the s9 active !
Good specs.. but bad bad design.. a blend of Iphone X and Huawei designs.. finger print sensor is placed just like Huawei nd Xiaomi phones in country..
Chinese people are so weird they love bad designs.
Really weird people.
It's fake dumbass!!! LOLOL
Just when you thought that samsung moved away from being called a copycat, they came back to it, and put better specs in a smaller model that I wished they had done with the regular S9…I would love 6 gb ram in the regular s9 that i have. It reloads apps.
They're sweetening the deal for China because sales there are bad. So now you know what to do…
Classic Samsung they beef up the hardware specs for the Chinese/Hong Kong Variant, but the software updates are always far behind. My Hong Kong S8+ ( 6gb ram & 128gb storage) got stuck with January security patch and no Oreo.
That's fake..you actually believe that's real??? LOLOLOLOL!!!!
Not keen at all on the design, but the dual camera, and the upgraded internal specs – is as you say, a slap in the face for literally every other nation out there that have bought an S9 series smartphone… Its just a shame that more people don't know this is what Samsung does – save their best devices for the Chinese market. Think the world would have a lot more to say about it if they knew.
This specification would have been a killer. I would have bought the s9 if they offered this
Since its for the Chinese market, I'm not mad at the horrible design and cheap iPhone X imitation. They live for that there.
