I've been using linux for a long time and bought the phone during the fund research campaign. I want a secure phone and then open sorce (including hardware). I do not want my phone to do anything other than what purism had promised … like Steve Jobs https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/25/opinion/sunday/steve-jobs-never-wanted-us-to-use-our-iphones-like-this.html
The battery drain bug still hadn't been fixed by NXP as of October 2018. See errata e11174 and e11171.
However, I don't think that this is an issue to worry about. NXP can't sell the i.MX 8M processor without fixing this bug in their silicon. NXP claims that the i.MX 8M is: "Optimized for fanless operation, low thermal system cost and long battery life." The company has published documents about power management to use the i.MX 8M on mobile devices.
It is clear from the news articles that Purism decided to delay the Librem 5 until April in order to wait for NXP to release new silicon that fixes the bug.
There are many other potential issues with the Librem 5, but I don't think this is one of them, because NXP knows that it has to fix this bug to sell the chip.
However, my advice is for you to wait till version 2 of the Librem 5 (or at least the reviews of version 1), if you need the guarantee of a working phone. There is a lot of new software to make the Librem 5 work and I doubt that the Librem 5 will be a full replacement for your iPhone from day 1. I ordered the Librem 5, because I want to help finance the reform of the hardware industry, but as I software engineer I know the difficulties of making a new software platform work perfectly out of the box.
Purism has a lot on its plate and it doesn't have the resources of Apple or Google, so it might take the company a while, but it has shown that it eventually delivers. I view this as an investment in a better future, but I expect that I will still carry around my old phone for quite a while once I get the Librem 5.
Yeah, those did ship and I so wanted one… Previous history of Ubuntu and the lack of a clear statement made me doubt the state of privacy on the Ubuntu phone, though, and I never bought one.
To be fair to the OP, the Ubuntu Edge never shipped, despite raising almost 13 million USD for close to 6000 phones five or six years ago. (The goal was set at $32M.)
No worries, but a request for evidence and information is not the same as a denial that success is possible (or even likely). I mean, I won't tell you who I am, but I will say that I have achieved a fair number of things that most narrow-minded people would say were impossible. I wouldn't be here if I didn't think there was a decent chance that Purism would deliver a working phone. I just don't have $599 (or whatever the price is now…) to burn.
At least on Android (using F-Droid) there is an app called "NewPipe" that allows you to watch YouTube videos, and even download them to your device. For me, it's a direct replacement for any YouTube app. The only real catch I know of is that it occasionally lags behind YouTube's updates, breaking the internal API/communication layer and is unable to play videos until an update shortly afterward.
I don't have a Facebook account, so I can't vouch for any direct-replacement apps for Messenger, but there are a plethora of FOSS messaging apps out there. The challenge with living a privacy-centric/FOSS lifestyle is that you can cut the cord on all the large tech companies, but friends and family may not be so accepting of it for their own use.
To summarize this, I'd say:
- there is very little chance that the phone won't ship. I mean, you never know if NXP is hit by a meteor tomorrow, but…
- maybe they butcher the April promise and it will be May or June
- maybe the phone doesn't work (well) with the frequencies your current carrier uses
- maybe, the initial release will be too unstable for you to rely on it in every day situations
- quite likely, the initial release will have quite a few features missing that you'd like (e.g. GPS navigation)
Anyway, that will not make it a paperweight. You could try a different carrier (or modem!), give it a few more weeks, install the updates and the nice apps others will add (and are already working on) and you will feel very good having been a supporter from the first hour.
As it has been pointed out, the battery drain bug (described here) is on NXPs side. That Purism figured that problem out very early after they got the chips, and work with NXP on fixing it (instead of just concentrating to get the dev-kit going, that doesn't need power-save states) and being very transparent about it, should, if anything, reinforce your trust in them.
As Todd Weaver has been saying many times, it was always the plan to do a phone, but first build some laptops, because else nobody would have even considered they could do what many failed to accomplish.
However, what you have to keep in mind here: Most of the "failed" ones did not fail because of technical difficulties, but rather because they didn't see a sufficient market for the product. This is very different with Purism, because (big*) profit is not the main goal.
They also don't try to create their own eco-system, but rather enhance the existing GNU/Linux/FOSS/Gnome/KDE/UBports ecosystem for the benefit of everybody. And because of that, existing Linux developers will not be reluctant to develop or adapt apps for the Librem 5, because it so close to what they always do and would not be wasted if the phone would not succeed. Every app for the Librem 5 should reasonably well run on any Linux mobile or desktop device.
(*) Sidenote: They originally promised to deliver the phone if ~2500 pre-orders would be placed. That's not much, especially if you also want to make big money
Meanwhile, extrapolating my old numbers, they most certainly have at least 4500 devices preordered, but I'm pretty certain it's already more than 5000. And every order on top will make the phone better.
As @dcz said, have some faith. There's no indication that you can not trust in what Purism is saying. Except for the inevitable delays, Purism has a very good track record of delivering what they say they will.
I think you're just looking for reasons why the Librem 5 isn't for you; and this is not a bad thing as it really just might not be for you - at least not as an early adopter.
First of all, you really require too much proprietary software, and nobody from Purism or the free software world can give you that; certainly not in the early days of the Librem 5.
So while I expect the basics (calls, sms, mail, browser, …) to work pretty much from the start, some things are just not going to happen.
Of your list, those are:
- Slack: proprietary software, not going to happen
- Enpass: proprietary software, not going to happen
- Messenger: which one? Microsoft? Facebook? Doesn't really matter, not going to happen
- Netflix: requires DRM and a proprietary browser extension, not going to happen
- Prime video: requires DRM and a proprietary browser extension, not going to happen
- Apple watch: don't know, but knowing Apple, will require proprietary software, not going to happen
- Audio books: depends on what audio books are for you. Audio books are just audio files and can be played anywhere, certainly on the Librem. For some people audio books are DRM-restricted Audible files, which will never be able to be played on the Librem
Nobody is going to stop you using proprietary software on the Librem - with the exceptions of the makers of said proprietary software. You rely 100% on the delivering the software to your platform, and Librem is one they likely will not support, certainly not in the next couple of years.
Then there are the things that are possible, but require some (or a lot) of work and will likely not be supported or supportable right from the start:
- YouTube app: Third party apps can be done as proven by NewPipe and others, but they will not allow you to use features that require login. Official Youtube app: not going to happen
- GPS app: depends on what you mean. If a GPS app to you is Google Maps: nope. If it is a OSM client with GPS functionality, this will happen probably rather sooner than later
- Video playback: this is a tricky one. Doing video on a phone requires special hardware. The i.MX8 has such hardware, NXP calls it VPU (video processing unit). The hardware IP is by hantro, and there is open source support, and it is doable. However, I expect it to take a while to come together.
- Video recording: see above. There is V4L support for Hantros encoder and recording is achieavable, but some work
I think it needs to be very clear, that the Librem can't be a fully functional smartphone platform like Android from day one.
Android wasn't one on day 1 either, far from it.
The first android device, the T-Mobile G1, while nice hardware, was pretty much universally panned for being subpar. Times sure have changed.
But the G1 got people excited, finally a more open platform to do things with.
The Librem will get people excited as well, but maybe not as many.
Purism is working hard on making the Librem a usable smartphone; but I think it should be clear, that they just can't deliever what some people expect: a fully functional android alternative with a complete ecosystem, supported by the whole proprietary software industry.
I have great hopes and Purism is doing so many things right that, after initial skepticism, I decided to back the project. I consider it backing, not preordering, so I'm fairly sure I know what I'm getting, which is a working development platform with big potential.
And finally, I have to come back to your point, that you care about privacy:
You're fairly willing to use a lot of proprietary software, rely on proprietary services like telegram, and you're willing to upload your phonebook with all contacts to third parties, violating other peoples privacy.
That pretty much stands against much what the Librem stands for.
Considering that, I would assume that the Librem won't be what you are looking for and it is more likely than not, that you will end up disappointed.
While Purism could certainly use your preorder-money to achieve their goals, and I feel a little bad for possibly hindering them, I really think it would be wise for you to wait, and see what the Librem will be a couple of months after it comes out.
I hope this helps.
It helps, but I could have done without the condescending attitude.
Then perhaps drop the entitled attitude? I'm not sure if that's quite the right word, but it's the most polite one I can come up with off-the-cuff. I was honestly struck by how polite their response was, so I think maybe you're also being a touch sensitive.
Look, asking for information about actual evidence of the functionality of a promised product is hardly "entitled," but making broad assumptions about someone who asks for that information ("I think you're just looking for reasons why the Librem 5 isn't for you"–I would have thought exactly the opposite) is pointless. And getting all judgy about someone's commitment to privacy is just silly. I'll decide for myself whether owning the phone is consistent with my opinions, thanks very much.
Also, I know Purism isn't promising everything on the first day. I just wanted some hard evidence (like a video of a device making a call, for example) especially about the likelihood of basic functionality, the stuff that everybody would agree is good to have. Thanks to those who have explained context and given some evidence, it's much appreciated.
I believe that, however, the questions and observations and behavior that the first message refers to will increase: this is because it increases the number of buyers passing from the initial "fervent" FOSS, who are aware of the difficulties faced by the team purism, to less informed Linux enthusiasts.
This, actually, might well work. I don't know anything about the status of an official client, but there is apparently a very functional Matrix bridge for Slack (https://fahrplan.events.ccc.de/congress/2018/Fahrplan/events/9400.html, https://media.ccc.de/v/35c3-9400-matrix_the_current_status_and_year_to_date). It might require a little bit more configuration (I've never tried it), but I do know that Matrix is something that Purism want to function straight out of the box (https://puri.sm/products/librem-5/, ctrl-F for "matrix" to see the various mentions).
I think @tg_gpm is right regarding that it does not make too much sense to want a Librem 5, but keep all the "bad" stuff that the Librem set out to avoid. Yes, the user must have the freedom to do so, but it's also a good opportunity to re-evaluate what one really wants, needs, or thinks to need, or realize that companies made one think to be in need of
Regarding calls and other capabilities, there have been very detailed reports like this one last May. In a later one there was another video of a call.
I understand it for messengers, because the transition away from one can be very hard. On the other hand, yesterday I watched a FOSDEM talk on Matrix, which I found very exciting. Matrix will be able to, for example, work as a bridge to Slack (!). And Matrix will be available on the Librem 5.
So, a better question might be: which alternatives to X, Y and Z do we actually have?
For example, yesterday I discovered this list of apps that will most likely work on the Librem 5 from the start or early on, including maps/navigation: Mobile GNU/Linux apps
Also, which alternatives do we have to cloud services of "the big five"?
After evaluating some of them (Nextcloud, Purism Services), one might actually find that those might actually be better alternatives, even feature wise.
I agree that one thing that is missing is kindof a complete picture of how all these nice things can play together, how many will be ready in 3 months or in a year, and which things are rather unlikely to happen soon.
I think this is perfectly obvious, and if you're not planning for it, you're not planning to succeed.
I'm sorry, but FU if you think it doesn't make much sense for me to want a Librem 5. I want a Linux phone. I can't buy one, and I'd like to. However, I'd like it to have basic functionality. Stuff that all of us, even those of you with condescending and superior attitudes, can agree that it should have.
Whether it will, or should, also support non-FOSS software is a wholly separate issue from this more basic issue. The fact that I'm interested in having apps (like Telegram) that are required by work doesn't mean I don't want a Linux phone. Can you understand that? I don't suppose you can.
Anyway, it doesn't matter; I will probably be able to access Telegram and others via a browser, if the Linux app doesn't work for some reason.
I think that most of what you asked will work, I would just advise you to not expect it to be able to run proprietary things right away, maybe something/someone will make Telegram work sometime in the future but maybe the watch IoT thing won't and might never get any support.
If you spent the same amount of time I spent on collecting information for you, considering it, watching the videos, follow links etc., maybe then you actually would be sorry, but for using the F word on me.
The Internet is weird. I'm confused.
Can we keep it nice and civil, please?
Maybe take a step back and wait a while before responding to each other if the discussion gets a bit heated.
One of the specifics I'm personally curious about is regarding email. There's no doubt email will work; but will email support the ability to sync with an exchange server (please don't derail with pop3/imap support via exchange) and more importantly comply with the servers need to "wipe" corporate data?
I know we all don't want companies to control our devices but in the age of BYOD I don't think it's unreasonable for a company to be able to remove it's data from your device (without affecting the rest of your device).
I saw somewhere that Geary is the intended default email client for the Librem 5. You can use the desktop version to get a feel for it.

Moldova's pro-EU government falls amid economic turmoil, Russian pressure
Moldova's pro-Western government resigned on Friday (10 February) after months marked by economic turmoil and the spillover effects of Russia's war in neighbouring Ukraine.
In a surprise announcement, Moldova's Prime Minister Natalia Gavrilița announced she was resigning together with the rest of the government, which had been in power for less than 18 months.
"If our government had had the same support at home as we had from our European partners, we could have advanced further and faster," Gavriliţa said.
"Moldova is entering a new phase, one in which security is our priority," she added.
Chișinău has described recent protests against the administration's pro-Western course as part of a Kremlin-sponsored campaign to destabilise the government.
The protests, organised by the party of exiled opposition politician Ilan Shor, marked the most serious political challenge to Sandu since her landslide election win in 2020 on a pro-European and anti-corruption platform.
"I believe in the Moldovan people. I believe in Moldova," Gavrilița told reporters at which she announced her government was stepping aside.
"I believe that we will be able to make it through all the difficulties and challenges," she added.
Later on Friday, Moldova's President Maia Sandu told reporters that after consultations with the political parties, she had nominated Dorin Recean, a former interior minister and her current presidential advisor, as a candidate to succeed Gavrilița.
Chișinău's EU course
Gavrilița became prime minister in August 2021 after her pro-European Party of Action and Solidarity secured a majority in parliament with a mandate to clean up corruption.
Moldova was granted EU candidate status last June, together with Ukraine, but the government in Chișinău has faced intense pressure from Russia, which has sought to undermine its authority.
The government had been mapping out reforms to accelerate accession to the EU and working on diversifying its energy supply with European support.
The government collapse comes just days after Gavriliţa met with European Council President Charles Michel and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in Brussels to take stock of Moldova's EU membership prospects.
Speaking to EURACTIV ahead of those meetings, Gavrilița said she was worried about Russia's efforts to destabilise her government.
"Moldova is a collateral victim of the war in Ukraine and has faced multiple crises, overlapping crises since the onset of the war," Gavrilița said.
"We saw the anti-government protests, bomb threats, cybersecurity attacks and we think that this is part of a larger effort of various groups that want to prevent the European integration of Moldova and to thwart the government from this path," she told EURACTIV in Brussels.
President Maia Sandu accepted Gavrilița's decision and said she would consult with parliamentary groups on nominating a new prime minister.
Sandu gave no sign of abandoning her pro-Western policies that, include seeking EU accession, and is expected to seek a replacement that would do so as well.
"Thank you so much for your enormous sacrifice and efforts to lead the country in a time of so many crises," Sandu wrote on Facebook.
"In spite of unprecedented challenges, the country was governed responsibly, with a lot of attention and dedicated work. We have stability, peace and development – where others wanted war and bankruptcy," she added.
Russia factor
Bordering Ukraine, the country of 2.5 million has suffered from soaring inflation and was strained last year by an influx of Ukrainian refugees.
It has also suffered power cuts following Russian air attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure and has struggled to break its dependence on Russian gas.
The steep price increases, particularly for Russian gas, led to street protests last year in which demonstrators called for the government and Sandu to resign.
In the latest tensions with Moscow over the war, the government said shortly before Gavrilița's resignation that a Russian missile had violated Moldovan airspace and summoned Russia's ambassador to protest.
"We resolutely reject the latest unfriendly actions and statements against Moldova, which is absolutely unacceptable for our people," the country's foreign ministry said in a statement.
"We call on the Russian Federation to stop military aggression against a neighbouring country, leading to numerous human casualties and material damage," it added.
Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told EU leaders during Thursday's EU summit in Brussels that Kyiv had intercepted Russian plans to "destroy" Moldova.
Moldovan intelligence services later confirmed they had also identified "subversive activities" aimed at "undermining the state of the Republic of Moldova, destabilising and violating public order."
Moscow, which has troops in Moldova's breakaway region of Transdniestria, has bristled at the possibility of former Soviet republics joining the EU.

Blue Jays: Steven Matz turns down multi-year deal; heading to free agency
Acquired by the Blue Jays at the end of January earlier this year, southpaw Steven Matz joined the organization after struggling through the shortened 2020 campaign with the New York Mets, posting a 9.68 ERA through 9 outings, six of which were starts. The Jays traded Sean Reid-Foley, Josh Winckowski, and Yennsy Diaz to bring Matz on board, who was in his last year of arbitration before being eligible for free agency this offseason.
The left-hander would begin the season in the rotation and would stay there all year long. He had a great start to the campaign, posting a 2.31 ERA with only six earned runs through his first four games. Matz then went through a couple of months of inconsistency where he had games with 5+ earned runs followed by games where he pitched well and limited the damage to three runs or less, eventually finding a groove in August and finishing the campaign with a 3.82 ERA through 29 starts with 144 strikeouts, 43 walks, and a 1.334 WHIP through 150.2 innings of work.
Overall, Matz had a pretty solid campaign and the big question regarding his free agency was whether the Blue Jays were interested in a reunion and if the club was going to present him with a qualifying offer like they were going to extend to Marcus Semien and Robbie Ray.
Blue Jays left-hander Steven Matz has decided to not accept a multi-year deal from the organization and was not presented with a qualifying offer.
As per Jon Heyman with MLB Network, the Blue Jays did offer Matz a multi-year deal but the New York product turned it down, deciding to test the free-agent waters instead. Following the contract rejection, it was also announced that the club was not going to present Matz with a qualifying offer, meaning if he signs elsewhere this season, he will not be tied to draft pick compensation (at least under the current CBA).
If the lefty was given a QO, I think he would probably sign the $18.4 million offer this season. It would be a significant upgrade over the $5.2 million he made this past year and although he did pitch well this year, the offer would probably be on the higher side of any contract he will be presented during free agency this year.
Although he did turn down the Blue Jays deal, there is a chance that he could still return next season and beyond, however, the current contract details have not been reported so it has yet to be seen on whether the deal was actually fair in value or if the front office short-changed Matz with the multi-year contract.
What do you think Jays fans? What type of deal do you think the club gave Matz that he turned down?

Kids Place Summer of Service
Michele Ostafy, Director, Family Support & Education, Child, Inc.
Donna Johnson, Program Coordinator, Child, Inc.
They packed 460 boxes of food products at the Food Bank of Delaware. On another day they engaged in landscape maintenance and cleaned horse saddles for New Castle County, Carousel Equestrian Center. In the heat of July, they helped tend the gardens, learned about beekeeping, goats, and other animals at Point Lookout. Each week, they spent special time in games, dancing, and lunch with individuals from Community Systems, Inc., an organization that supports adults with developmental disabilities.
This is but a snapshot of the Kids Place Summer of Service Program (SOS) 2021. Twenty-three youth from Sparrow Run, a community of 550 townhomes in an area challenged by poverty and crime in Newark, Delaware, participated in a variety of community service activities over five weeks under the supervision of CHILD, Inc.'s Kids Place and Family Resource Center staff. Of course, it was not all work and no play. SOS participants had time each Friday to enjoy the water - swimming and boating - and spending time inside jumping on trampolines.
Challenging the stereotype of disengaged youth, hanging out in the streets with nothing to do, the SOS participants, ages 11 to 17, demonstrated a commitment to the daily excursions and participated with enthusiasm as they tackled some exciting as well as mundane activities. While groups of 8 participated each week in the outings, the other SOS participants were active in other ways with Kids Place's regular summer programming including working as a group on a practice podcast – "KP Table Talk". The podcast episodes, around various topics including their opinions about parents, stressors at school, and the impact of popular music on younger kids, made for interesting conversation.
An important component of the SOS project was post-activity journaling. Staff encouraged participants to record their thoughts, impressions, and/or ideas sparked by the activity. This journaling aspect of the program allowed youth to reflect and record as they chose.
Another part of the SOS 2021 program included engagement with Faithful Friends Animal Rescue. Participants made animal treats for the dogs and helped tend to the "cat condos" and litter boxes. Even those who weren't crazy about cats found a new affection for the felines.
The SOS 2021 program demonstrated group cohesion, positive engagement, and role modeled leadership to younger participants. A key goal was to help youth from the community engage in activities outside their comfort zone and reflect on the experience.
All in all, participants gave SOS rave reviews. A special celebration was held at the end of August at the 24th Annual Sparrow Run Community Day where New Castle County Executive Matt Meyer awarded Summer of Service participants certificates of achievement. While the year 2021 presented the community and the kids with many challenges, the summer of 2021 will be remembered fondly.
Summer of Service 2021 was made possible by grants from JPMorgan Chase and Seeds of Greatness Church.

What's the connection to domestic violence?
Poverty and financial instability are both factors that contribute to an increased likelihood for sexual, domestic, and intimate partner violence to occur. The Sparrow Run Family Resource Center helps improve financial stability for their community by increasing access to key resources such as WIC, TANF, and SNAP. Additionally, community cohesion has been shown to assist in mitigating harmful factors that may lead to these forms of violence. As demonstrated, the SOS 2021 program is one example of ways a community can build cohesion.
While these efforts alone will not prevent violence, they are a part of a much larger effort to build a society where violence is not tolerated. To learn more about DCADV's many prevention initiatives, visit www.dcadv.org/what-we-do/prevention or contact firstname.lastname@example.com.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Browns rookie defensive back Jabrill Peppers has signed, and now Cleveland's entire draft class is under contract. The Browns selected Peppers with the No. 25 overall pick in April. The holdup in negotiations was over guaranteed money, but the sides worked that out Sunday _ just days before the team opens training camp. Peppers played several positions at Michigan, but the Browns see him as a safety and to return kicks.

Understanding resistance to decrease risk of severe phoma stem canker on oilseed rape
This project has identified methods to decrease the risk of severe phoma stem canker epidemics on UK winter oilseed rape crops, both in the short-term and the long-term. These methods have been communicated to the UK oilseed rape industry, including farmers, AHDB, crop advisors and breeders.
pr606-final-report pr606-final-project-summary-reportAbout this project
The overall aim of this project was to decrease the risk of severe phoma stem canker on oilseed rape at increased temperature by improving understanding of operation of Brassica napus resistance against Leptosphaeria maculans. There were three related objectives/tasks:
1. To identify L. maculans races in UK regions with different climates to optimise the deployment of oilseed rape resistance genes
2. To investigate phenotypes of R gene-mediated and quantitative resistance (QR) against L. maculans in leaf and stem tissues in different environments
3. To develop an experimental system to investigate mechanisms of operation of R gene-mediated and QR against L. maculans
This work has identified a number of ways to decrease the risk of severe phoma stem canker epidemics on UK winter oilseed rape crops, both in the short-term and the long-term. These are discussed in the context of a series of recommendations, which could be implemented by different sections of the UK oilseed rape industry, including farmers, the AHDB, crop advisors and the breeding industry.
Short-term benefits to farmers
To guide regional deployment of oilseed rape cultivars with different resistance genes, there is a need to monitor regional populations of L. maculans, especially in relation to virulence at the AvrLm1, AvrLm4 (populations currently differ between regions) and Avrlm7 (to decrease risk of breakdown of Rlm7 cultivar resistance) loci. It is recommended that AHDB deploys a set of spore samplers at some Recommended List (RL) winter oilseed rape trials sites to monitor races present in L. maculans populations in different regions. This should be done each growing season to detect frequencies of virulent isolates by using PCR of samples of airborne spores. Such information could then be made available to farmers to guide their choice of cultivars for the next growing season.
There is a need to develop a web-based scheme for guiding regional deployment of winter oilseed rape cultivars with different types of resistance. There is a need to continue monitoring ascospore release to provide better guidance for timing of fungicide applications. Results of this project suggest that deployment of a small number of spore samplers would be sufficient to provide such guidance. It is likely that a new generation of spore samplers will be developed that can provide 'real time' information about the timing of release of specific spores but, even if it is necessary to send weekly spore sampling tapes to a laboratory for quantitative PCR analysis, results could improve the accuracy of guidance for spray timing.
Long-term benefits to farmers
While some recommendations could be implemented quite quickly to decrease the risk of phoma stem canker, others are more long-term, since they need to be implemented by oilseed rape breeders.
R gene-mediated resistance should always be combined with QR to improve its effectiveness in different environments. To provide farmers with cultivars that have effective resistance against the stem canker pathogen at different locations and in different growing seasons, it is essential that R gene-mediated resistance is incorporated into backgrounds with good QR that is environmentally stable.
Relationships between temperature-resilience and effectiveness of resistance should be investigated. If factors that influence the effectiveness of resistance (differences between R genes; background QR) are associated with the temperature-resilience of that resistance, then breeders could screen potential cultivars/lines for temperature-resilient resistance as a means of selecting for effective resistance. This would save time and expense by comparison with field experiments at multiple locations over several seasons that are currently used to select for effective, environmentally stable resistance. Such screening could be used in initial selection stages, although the best material would then need to be tested in field experiments.
There is a need to understand interactions between the two pathogens (L. maculans and L. biglobosa) and cultivar R gene-mediated resistance to identify cultivars with resistance against both pathogens. Furthermore, although L. maculans is generally regarded as a more damaging pathogen than L. biglobosa, there is evidence that L. biglobosa was the dominant pathogen, responsible for severe stem base and upper stem lesions, in the 2011/2012 growing season.
There is a need to exploit new genomic information and genetic resources to improve our understanding of the operation of resistance against Leptosphaeriaspecies and other extracellular pathogens. There are now unprecedented opportunities to exploit this novel genomic information through bioinformatics and biocomputational methods, together with the new host materials that have become available to improve our understanding of resistance against the phoma stem canker pathogens.
This new understanding can be exploited by breeders to develop new cultivars with more effective, durable, temperature-resilient resistance for the benefit of farmers and the whole agricultural industry in the UK.

Expense Trackers For Businesses – How to Keep On Top Of All Your Expenses
Businesses have, of course, survived for hundreds of years without having the advantages of many tech solutions on offer today. But if there is a way to make your business run more smoothly and cut down hours you may be spending on time-consuming tasks then it makes sense to take advantage of what is available.
Adding an expense tracker to your virtual tool kit is a great idea. It is probably the simplest and the cheapest way of keeping on top of your business expenses. If you consider investing in the best expense tracker for you, here are some of the questions you might want to ask before you make up your mind.
Who needs an expenses tracker?
Any business, big or small will have to find the best way to manage expenses. These might be simple or complicated depending on the type of business you have.
Some of these expenses will be considered as part of your running costs. Things like office rental, equipment, and other overheads come into this category. In addition, you might have separate expenses which are related to a specific contract or project. These would normally be charged directly to the client.
Everhour is the top choice for small businesses and small to mid-size teams of 5 to 50 members, including professionals like software developers, marketers, designers, consultants, lawyers, you name it!
Seamlessly integrating with popular project management tools like Asana, Trello, and Jira, its user-friendly interface and customizable reports make it the ultimate time tracking solution for small and mid-size teams.
With dedicated support ensuring you receive timely assistance, our team is here to help you promptly and with a smile!
What are the benefits to my business?
The best expense trackers just make it so much easier to keep tabs on your income and outgoings. It also means you can quickly see how things are progressing and be sure you are making the kind of profit you need.
It is easy to focus too much on what money is being spent and fail to realize how much a job might actually cost you.
Another advantage is reporting. You will be able to run reports regularly to keep all your financial information up to date. Reporting can also offer greater transparency to your clients. It means that you can provide them with clear information about any expenses you are charging to them. Many expense trackers also include built-in invoicing functions which can also make life much easier.
And finally, expense trackers allow you to review your income and expenses for each project so you can understand which contracts are the most valuable. This can be a great help for future financial planning.
What kind of expenses do I need to track?
The short answer is probably – everything. There are basically two types of business expenses you need to think about.
First, we'll take a look at non-billable expenses. These are the outgoings mentioned previously which need to be covered by your overall profits for the year. These include all your running costs. You might have to rent an office or workshop or other premises to carry out your work. Tools and equipment, whether you hire or buy them could also be a major expense.
Then, of course, there are your staff costs if you have employees. These are the major ones, but there are many others depending on how your business operates.
The other side of this is billable expenses. This refers to the kind of expenses that you incur in relation to a particular contract. These could include raw materials, external consultancy fees, and possibly subcontractor costs – but not your own staff. Mileage, travel, and accommodation might be also included if you need to visit a site or travel for meetings with your client. These are the type of things you would probably bill directly to the client.
You must keep your billable and non-billable expenses separate. A genuine mistake that leads to billing a client for something they should not be charged for could seriously sour relations. It looks not only unprofessional but could cost you a future contract and be damaging to the reputation of your business.
Dedicated expense tracker or all-in-one app: which is the best one?
Once you decide to use an expenses tracker, there is a lot of choice on the market and new options seem to be popping up all the time.
Perhaps one of the key questions is whether to invest in a stand-alone piece of software or one that combines tracking expenses with other functions such as time tracking and project management.
Dedicated apps may have additional features that you may not get from a combined app. However, an app that combines expense tracking, invoicing, and even time management can help to keep all the information you need together and ultimately saves time and money.
To sum up
- Expenses tracking apps can help all kinds of businesses regardless of size;
- They make it easier to keep your non-billable running cost and your billable expenses separate;
- They help you to understand your outgoings and profits on a project by project basis;
- They help to work out which contract is more valuable for your business;
- They can be combined with other business software – to ensure your business runs as smoothly as possible.

I tend to think that hunt sabotage has more to do with fighting the class war than saving creatures from suffering.
Today's invention is weapon on behalf of the 'game' animals and the human beaters who find themselves economically dependent on this form of feudalism.
It is a swarm of small robots which can be used to pre-beat an area of moorlands so that hiding grouse or pheasant are driven away before the chinless hoorays range rover onto the scene.
These would be capable of maintaining a coordinated line across the terrain, moving quietly beneath the foliage so as to remain concealed. The failure or destruction of one would be automatically adjusted to by the others and they could be programmed to rendez-vous later in the back of a waiting truck (using eg GPS units built into each).
Most significantly, no human beaters would find themselves walking towards a line of shotguns held by merchant bankers.

Four of the most prominent AI companies are forming a new organization to assure the "safe and responsible development" of so-called "frontier AI" models.
Read also: Snap's revenue difficulties persist, but earnings offer a few rays of light.
In response to growing calls for regulatory oversight, ChatGPT developer OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, and Anthropic have announced the Frontier Model Forum, a coalition that will utilize the expertise of member companies to develop technical evaluations and benchmarks as well as promote best practices and standards.
Fresh front
At the center of the forum's mission is what OpenAI has previously referred to as "frontier AI," which consists of advanced AI and machine learning models considered to pose "severe risks to public safety." They argue that such models present a unique regulatory challenge because "dangerous capabilities can arise unexpectedly," making it difficult to prevent the misappropriation of models.
The self-proclaimed objectives of the new forum include
i) Advancing AI safety research to promote responsible development of frontier models, minimize risks, and enable independent, standardized evaluations of capabilities and safety.
ii) Identifying best practices for the responsible development and deployment of frontier models, helping the public understand the nature, capabilities, limitations, and impact of the technology.
iii) Collaborating with policymakers, academics, civil society and companies to share knowledge about trust and safety risks.
iiii) Supporting efforts to develop applications that can help meet society's greatest challenges, such as climate change mitigation and adaptation, early cancer detection and prevention, and combating cyber threats.
Although there are only four members of the Frontier Model Forum at present, the group states it welcomes new members. Organizations that qualify must develop and deploy cutting-edge AI models and demonstrate a "strong commitment to frontier model safety."
In the immediate future, the founding members will establish an advisory council to steer the organization's strategy, as well as a charter, governance, and funding structure.

"We plan to consult with civil society and governments in the coming weeks on the design of the Forum and on meaningful ways to collaborate," the companies wrote in a statement released today.
While the Frontier Model Forum is intended to demonstrate that the AI industry is treating safety concerns seriously, it also demonstrates Big Tech's desire to forestall incoming regulation through voluntary initiatives, and perhaps even write its own rules.
In fact, today's news comes as Europe moves forward with what is expected to be the first concrete AI regulation, designed to place safety, privacy, transparency, and anti-discrimination at the core of companies' AI development philosophies.
And last week, President Biden met with seven AI companies, including the four founding members of the Frontier Model Forum, at the White House to agree on voluntary safeguards against the burgeoning AI revolution, despite criticism that the commitments were somewhat ambiguous.
Nonetheless, Biden also indicated that future regulatory oversight was possible.
Biden stated at the time, "Realizing the promise of AI through risk management will require new laws, regulations, and oversight." "In the coming weeks, I will continue to take executive action to assist the United States lead the way in responsible innovation. And we will work with both parties to devise legislation and regulation that is appropriate."

Investigate Your Potential Audience
Knowing the requirements of your audience can offer you some assistance with preparing your presentation to target on their interests and clarify how your organization can be useful in their particular circumstance.
It's recommended to ask questions to a modest bunch of individuals who will be in the audience before you begin preparation.
Plan Your Presentation
The ideal format to start for a presentation is to let them know what you're going to say, present, and afterward let them know what you told them.
Most of the companies can benefit from this simple structure explained below –
- Opening – Your opening ought to be something that makes an enthusiastic association with the audience. It can be a story, an interesting question related to their queries, or a shocking static. Make sure it is not a presentation of yourself or five minutes of thank-you.
- Body – Try to adhere to your three most vital points you want to discuss. It's more essential to draw the attention of people than to let them know all that you know. You should forget some data, however it is likely that what you don't cover in the presentation will come up when you take questions. Keep your outcome in mind.
- Closing – The end of your presentation is the last chance you need to give your audience something that will stick in their psyches. The best idea to give a great ending is to go back to your opening line or end it with a clever slogan either a call to action.
Practice, Hone, Rehearse…. However Don't Memorize
It's really different for everyone, except I will say one thing: If you hone your discourse just once, you're going to stink.
It's recommended to begin practicing your presentation around a month in advance.
You can practice in front of a mirror, converse with a wall, or request a relative to listen.
A few individuals volunteer to talk at chapel or join their neighborhood toastmaster club for practice speaking out in the public.
Do whatever works for you, yet ensure it incorporates rehearsing boisterously with the goal that you can get a sense of timing.
- Videotape yourself – You can't know how you fall off to individuals till the time you see yourself. Recording yourself is the most ideal approach to focus on the areas where you can make any improvement.
Pay Attention On Presentation Skills: Delivery
The concept and presentation no doubt plays an important role yet the way you deliver the concept is the real presentation.
Make sure that your verbal delivery and body language is not gross.
1) Verbal Delivery :
- Be Brief
- Speak to your demographic
- Ask questions to keep the audience engaged
- Work on your tone
- Avoid Fill Words – You should, Umm, avoid, Uh
- Avoid talking delicately or other discourse designs that make you appear unconfident.
2 Body Language:
- Stand at an agreeable distance – It is recommended that staying within 2.5 – 7 feet away from the audience is perfect.
- Eye contact – Don't surf the audience with your eyes. The ideal approach is to look at one individual at once.
Appear confident:
- Shoulders back
- Arms at your sides or held in front of your body when making gestures
- Hands open or just marginally closed
- Smile slightly or keep your face neutral.
- Talk and speak
- Make every movement purposeful and decided
- Treat props (like your resume or a gift) just as they are of worth. Try not to give a paper flap forward and backward imprudently.
Wish you all luck for your presentation and business success.

New Delhi: As tensions between India and Pakistan continue to rise, the BJP president Amit Shah posed the following question to the people of Uttar Pradesh's Ghazipur:
"Who can ensure the security of the country? The people of the gathbandhan (SP-BSP-RLD alliance) or Modiji?"
According to The Hindu, Shah was addressing a chaupal (corner) meeting in the eastern UP district when he urged people to vote for the prime minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday – the day the Indian Air Force said it had struck down a Jaish-e-Mohammed training camp in Balakot, Pakistan.
"Who can give a mooh todh jawab (fitting reply to Pakistan?) Who can wipe out terrorism?" he asked while launching the BJP's Kamal Jyoti Sankalp campaign for the 2019 Lok Sabha elections in Ghazipur.
Shah using the IAF strike for electoral gains may likely invite controversy as the saffron party has appealed to opposition forces multiple times to refrain from using the Pulwama attack politically.
Over the last two weeks, whenever the opposition parties raised questions about possible intelligence failures and India's preparedness to tackle terrorism, the BJP deflected them by attacking the opposition forces back. It has said that all parties should stand united for the nation and desist from "petty politics".

However, after his speech in Ghazipur, Shah clearly indicated that his party is going to use the airstrike to drive its political agenda. Soon after the airstrike, Shah told the Ghazipur gathering that the prime minister has sent a "message to the world" that the current government would "go to any extent" to protect the country. He added that the IAF strike was a measure of "self-defence".
The BJP president also brought up the army's surgical strike in 2016 following the Uri attack. He said that while the surgical strike was a response to the 2016 attack, the IAF airstrike was carried out in "self-defence".
The surgical strike, notably, figured massively in the saffron party's campaign ahead of the 2017 assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh.
He added that Pakistan will have to "think ten times" before attacking India because of the successful surgical strike and airstrikes. He said that following the Pulwama attack, there was a strong demand that India should respond militarily to Pakistan.
The Hindu quoted him saying that "the airstrike has brought a sense of peace to the people of the country".
While applauding the IAF, he also praised the prime minister for showing the political will to fight terrorism.
Uttar Pradesh sends the largest number of Lok Sabha members to the parliament. With 80 seats up for contest, the coming together of opposition parties – Samajwadi Party, Bahujan Samaj Party and Rashtriya Lok Dal – has tilted the electoral arithmetic against the saffron party.

Reports | 9 03 2022
Iman HamrawiAlone with her two daughters, she struggles to secure living requirements at a time the majority of Syrians live below the poverty line. Haifa, a young woman residing in Aleppo, said to Rozana: "After eleven years, patience and sacrifice are still continuing".
The situation of most Syrian women has changed to the worse over the past years. They have encountered the challenges of war, they also suffered from many violations of their rights amid a rising status of violence and semi-insecurity. Where Syria comes in low positions in the indicators of safety and security for women.
Nevertheless, the Syrian woman was a role model of sacrifice and struggle in order to obtain a decent life for herself and her surroundings. Over the past years, several examples of women have emerged in various Syrian regions. They managed to make a world of difference and prominent effects in society by proving themselves.
Double Responsibility
"No electricity, gas or transportation, I work outside and inside the home, with a double responsibility in the absence of the husband." These details are part of the suffering of Haifa, 35, who is a teacher in the city of Aleppo, and mother of two children.
Two years ago, Haifa's husband travelled abroad in order to improve their living situation, while she remained the only breadwinner for her family.
Haifa receives a salary that does not exceed 150,000 Syrian pounds (about $39), while the average cost of living for a Syrian family composed of five individuals has reached more than two million Syrian pounds per month, according to a study published on the website of "Qasioun" newspaper.
Last year, she refused to register her five-year-old daughter Lian in a kindergarten to save costs that amounted to 45,000 pounds.
The UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, Martin Griffiths, estimated the number of Syrians that are living below the poverty line at more than 90 percent of the total population, during a session of the UN Security Council in October 2021.
No Alternative to Education
During the past years, the education rate has declined in several Syrian regions, either as a result of displacement and forced relocation as a result of military campaigns, or because of poverty and the deteriorating of the living condition, which forced many to withdraw their children from schools, especially girls.
Sahar, 22, who lives in Idlib, is trying to obtain a university degree, despite the circumstances that forced her to work after her father's death.
Sahar, a third-year student at Idlib University, Department of Psychological Counselling, is the only breadwinner for her mother and two brothers. She says to "Rozana": "I am trying to balance between my work in psychological support in one of the organizations that operates in the region and my study." She continues saying: "It is very difficult for me, but there is no other solution".
While Joud, a fourth-year student at the Faculty of Agricultural Engineering, was displaced three years ago from her village in the southern countryside of Idlib due to bombing, so she and her family were displaced to the northern countryside. She says to "Rozana": We were displaced, and we have experienced difficult and severe conditions. Despite all the difficult circumstances I faced, I did not leave my university and I will continue till the end".
In the areas of the Syrian regime, hundreds of male and female students are suffering to continue their studies, especially with the absence of most services such as electricity and transportation.
Zahraa, 17, is a young woman residing in one of the eastern neighbourhoods of Aleppo with her parents and her 11-year-old brother. She repeatedly left her study in previous periods due to military operations and bombing. She obtained the basic education certificate last year with great difficulty.
Today, Zahraa is struggling to continue her education through special courses to obtain the "secondary education" certificate. She says to "Rozana": "I found a good educational institute far from my home, but it is difficult for me to reach it due to the lack of transportation, which prompted me to stop registering in it."
"I am looking for a new educational institute… it is a difficult task… but study is something that cannot be waived," says Zahraa.
The Assistant Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, Joyce Msuya, said in a report published by the United Nations, that the number of people in need in Syria is now more than any other time since the beginning of the conflict, and the deteriorating living situation is forcing families to make unbearable decisions, where children, especially girls, are withdrawn from schools, and the number of child marriage is rising.
Supportive Syrian Women
During the years of war, the Syrian woman also worked to support her husband and her family. She also supported her surroundings such as women, children, young men and women.
Among those influential Syrian supportive women was the Arabic language teacher Ahlam Al-Rasheed, 45, who was ranked among the 100 most influential women worldwide, according to a classification published by BBC in 2017. This came according to her ongoing educational career that lasted for more than twenty years, in addition to charitable works that she carries out.
"I worked in tents in summer and winter to support the students in the camps to continue their education. I helped girls complete their education, since the profession of teaching runs in my blood," Ahlam says to "Rozana".
Ahlam did not stop practicing her profession of teaching after her displacement in late 2012 from the town of Hass in the city of Maarat al-Numan to the Qah camp in the town of Atme on the Syrian-Turkish border. She continued to teach students from the preparatory and secondary stage, she was also engaged in transferring some of them from the camp to Idlib city to take examinations that were taking place only in the downtown of Idlib.
Ahlam expanded her scope of activities such as providing psychological support and educational courses. She also opened the Al-Rasheed Center for Training and Educational Development, which graduated thousands of young men and women in different fields. The activities of the center included literacy courses for women, in addition to teaching women manual jobs they work in to meet their needs.
The experience of Mona Abdel Salam differs from Ahlam's experience. She worked as a teacher for years in the city of Qamishli in north-eastern Syria, while she was interested in civil work in general and the feminist work in particular.
"During my work in school, I repeatedly witnessed cases of violence against women, I heard stories narrated by mothers and grandmothers about oppressed women who were subjected to social violence, injustice and violation of rights. After the year 2011, civil activity has flourished in Syria. So, I established, along with a group of women, an organization to combat violence against women. This was the beginning of the organization of "Sara" after long efforts". Said Mona to Rozana.
"Sara" organization works to document the cases of violence against women in cooperation with local authorities in the region.
Mona referred to the controlling of the cases of violence against women after 2011, besides the political and social changes in the region after this year, including the laws of the "Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria" and the Women's Court. According to these laws, women were able to submit a complaint to the concerned authorities against those who practice verbal, moral or physical violence against them.
Volunteer Women in Civil Defense
On the other hand, Syrian women found themselves facing a challenge they were not familiar with during the past years. The bombing of areas outside the regime's territories forced civilians to form "Civil Defense" teams, Where Syrian women joined these teams when needed.
"Every day, I provide assistance to injured civilians, and I know that doing this work will contribute to secure a better life for my daughter and my country," said Fatima, one of the women volunteers in the Civil Defense, according to the "Civil Defense" website.
In late 2012, the Syrian regime started bombing homes and residential neighbourhoods outside its controlled areas, which prompted a group of volunteers to provide an emergency response to help persons trapped under rubble. In October 2014, the Syria Civil Defense Organization (The White Helmets) was established as teams distributed over seven Syrian governorates, including women volunteers.
Since the establishment of the "White Helmets", more than 221 female volunteers have received training on medical care and simple rescue works.
Volunteer women began in search and rescue. Later, they expanded their work to include trauma response and community awareness campaigns to help families and children to be prepared for attacks and to recover from their effects. In areas where there are not enough medical services, the women volunteers of the White Helmets established medical points to provide first aid and care for pregnant women and women after delivery.
Surviving Syrian Women
"My message to people is that they must know that we are not the cause of their suffering, we are not the cause of the war they are experiencing, we are not the shame, we had sacrificed ourselves for the sake of a free Syria," says Huda Amhan (36 years), a former detainee. Her husband, Yusef Amhan (44 years), is still detained by the Syrian regime.
Huda was an employee in the office of the Minister of Industry and her husband was working in Damascus Governorate. In March 2012, her husband was arrested, when their daughter was no more than two years and four months old.
The story did not stop here, as Huda was ordered to go to investigation in April 2015, because her husband mentioned her in his report on the basis that he was obtaining information from her due to her work in the office of a minister.
After 16 days of detention with torture, she was able to get out, she was obliged to spend 6 months in house arrest, after she had paid a large sum of money.
After that, she resorted to her husband's family to help her and her daughter, but she was refused. "We do not want a former detainee in our house." They replied to her. Huda was forced to bear her sadness and disappointments from one place to another with her daughter until she finally returned to Jisr al-Shughur in the Idlib countryside, where she was born.
She tried to find a job, but it was not easy. Where the people were looking at her as if she committed a shame. Considering that female detainees are subjected to rape in prisons, which is a matter that they pay its price even if they are not raped, which Huda confirms.
At the end, Huda decided to return to study and to continue her civil work relating to the detainees, she is confirming time after time that the detainees file is her case, and she will not abandon it. When we asked her about her dreams, she replied saying: "I hope to live with my daughter in peace and to see free Syria and to see the prisons void of innocents."
More than 10,000 women are still in detention/enforced disappearance by the conflict controlling parties in Syria, including 8,497 detainees by the regime forces, while 11,523 women have been subjected to sexual violence incidents since March 2011, according to a report issued by Syrian Network for Human Rights" in November last year.
