Xiaomi had been teasing the launch of its flagship for quite some time now. And today, it has finally taken curtain off the product at the Mobile World Congress 2016, in front of global media. This is Xiaomi's first global flagship model and interestingly, we got to knew most of its specsfew hours before the official launch.
In the last few weeks we have shared several rumours about Mi 5 and all those rumours were bang on. The handset features a 3D ceramic design; it has a curved ceramic back panel which merges seamlessly with the metal chassis and offers increased durability. While talking about the design, Hugo Barra mentioned that Mi 5 offers a texture and feel similar to marble, without any of the bulk that comes with it. We would like to hold the device in our hands to confirm the same.
Coming to the Mi 5 specifications. Leaks had hinted at two RAM variants, NFC support, quick charge and a fingerprint sensor, and boy they were right. Xiaomi Mi 5 has all of these. The fingerprint sensor is placed there on the front. It features a 100% faster CPU + 40% faster GPU compared to the Snapdragon 810 and an AnTuTu benchmark score of 142,084, which Xiaomi claims is highest for any device right now. The chipset also consumes 50% less power compared to the S810, which hints at longer battery life.
At the event, three variants of Xiomi Mi 5 were introduced. The 32GB Mi 5 with 3GB of RAM priced at 1,999 CNY (Rs 21,000 approx);, the 64GB Mi 5 with 3GB of RAM priced at 2,299 CNY (Rs 24,000 approx); and the top of the line 128GB model with 4GB of RAM priced at 2,699 CNY (Rs 28,200 approx).
The device would first go on sale in China and would subsequently be launched in other global markets including India. Did we mention Mi 5 colors? It will be available in white, gold and black.
Xiaomi Mi 5 hardware specifications include:
· 5.15-inch Full HD (1920×1080) display
· 7.25mm thickness
· 129 grams
· Quad-core Snapdragon 820 processor
· 16MP rear camera with Optical Image Stabilisation
· 4MP front camera (2um pixel size)
· 32/64/128GB storage
· Android 6.0 Marshmallow (MIUI 7)
· 3,000mAh battery
· 4G LTE with dual-SIM support

Christopher Bailey acknowledges differences between art and design
Christopher Bailey sees a definite distinction between art and design.
The British designer is the chief creative and chief executive officer of Burberry, and is responsible for creating and delivering the heritage company's global vision and business strategy, including brand imagery, product design, marketing and digital innovation.
In a new interview with fashion writer Colin McDowell for Woolmark's website, the 45-year-old was honest about where he sees Burberry being positioned within a specific market in which commerce and couture intersect.
"I absolutely see what we do as design and not art. That is a big distinction for me," he stated. "Design is about people having both an emotional reaction to something and also a functional and very pragmatic approach to something. And commerce is about making something relevant to people."
Bailey has made no secret of his desire to reposition the brand in order to garner attention from the younger generation, and has tapped the likes of Eddie Redmayne and Cara Delevingne to star in recent campaigns. He is also aware that the demand for designer goods is changing and thinks that new customers and Millennials really care about design and creativity, "but they also care about price and how things are made."
"When creativity and commerce come together, that's when it becomes magical," he shared.
Bailey has been at the helm of Burberry since 2014, and next year (17) will become the company's president. In the new role he will retain his status as the brand's top creative boss, though Marco Gobbetti will take on the role of chief executive, overseeing the business aspect of the company.
Meanwhile, Bailey is tackling major changes at the brand, which is known for its pattern-based scarves and trench coats, announcing plans to break with fashion industry tradition and show a see-now-buy-now collection on the September (16) runway.

Infusionsoft Integration not workingAsked by itmooti on November 24, 2014 at 11:34 AM
Hi Jotform team. I have a number of forms integrated with Infusionsoft. Tonight for some reason all of them are not working. When I try to edit the integration parameters the system returns an error "Cannot find App". If I try to add a new Infusionsoft app the system returns and error stating "Cannot retrieve user details. Contact Admins.". Can you please look into this and let me know what is wrong? I'm demonstrating a large system to a client tomorrow that relies on this connection. This is super, super urgent!!
Thanks in advance
Hi Jason,
I took a look at the integration and I do see screen for integration:
What I would suggest is to clear your browser cache and I will be clearing your jotform cache.
Do check if these two things help you. If not, do let us know.
Best Regards,
Hi Ben
No, no luck. Even opening it on a completely different computer does the same thing. I cannot add edit an existing infusinosoft integration or add a new one at all.
Please let me know what is required to get this sorted.
Thanks a million
It also seems that I cannot delete an Infusionsoft application (I wanted to remove the application I am connecting to and re-add).
JotForm Support
Hi Jason,
I apologize for the inconveniences that this might have caused you. Upon checking your account, I see that the integration is now removed.
I would also like to suggest that you use different web browsers, we usually recommend Chrome and Firefox. Another is that, if you are having problems with direct integration, you can use Zapier, a third party app that integrates different Apps with JotForm.
I hope this helps. Let us know if this works.
Thank you.
Hi Charlie
What do you mean the integration is removed. I cannot remove the integration. I still have two Infusinosoft accounts showing up when I select the integration, crm, infusionsoft option (see attached image). I cannot edit, delete or add infusionsoft integrations...
Any help would be mightily appreciated.
I have tried chrome, firefox and Safari - on different computers - to no effect. I have also tried the zapier integration but it does not transfer checkbox fields correctly like your inbuilt integration tool does.
JotForm Support
Just to clarify, this is the account you are logged in itmooti? And this is the form you have integration with http://form.jotformpro.com/form/43112008880951?
1. I've checked your account, and I see this in your integration, the Infusionsoft seems to be not connected.
2. But I do see that you have an integration in WebHooks.
3. And is it something related to Infusionsoft?
I'm not sure if I'm on the same form you have, but please do correct me if I'm looking at a different Form. I apologize again if you are having problems with the integration, we'll wait for your response and try to see where the problem might be.
Thank you.
Hi Charlie.. Thanks a lot for your response... No, the form that I was looking at (and which was not working) was
However, after leaving it for the day I have just tested it and the integration settings are once again available. I have no idea what happened over the last 24 hours but it seems to be working again.
Thanks for your input and suggestions. I will let you know if it happens again.
Hi Jason,
Great to hear that it is working for you now, but do let us know if this happens again.
To avoid looking at the wrong places as you do have quite a lot of jotform, I would only ask if you could tell us the jotform that has the issue as well to catch it as it happens (if it happens) - hopefully it will not.
Do let us know if you have any further questions.
Best Regards,

It's not all the time that you discover you need a replacement Strut to repair your vehicle. Your Kia dealership isn't the only place to locate trusted replacement parts for your Spectra5. Kia car, truck, or SUV drivers have become used to a certain level of best-in-class value when driving their Spectra5 around town. The vehicle in your driveway symbolizes the best in class when it comes to all the vehicles on the road today.
The first production cars from over a hundred years ago must have been very unpleasant to drive. The MacPherson strut suspension revolutionized auto manufacturing because of its mobility advantages and overall vehicle weight reduction. Still, your Kia Spectra5 struts absorb impact the same way shock absorbers do. However, your specific model uses a strut to provide the spindle with 360-degrees of movement in the front, which eliminates the need for the front control arm to locate the wheel and provide a pivot for steering. If your Kia Spectra5 has an independent rear suspension, then a strut and coil spring assembly would be located at each wheel as well.
Don't let a broken Strut bring about the demise of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't gamble with its condition by installing anything but the highest quality repair parts. At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members available with enough expertise to help you purchase the correct Kia Spectra5 part for your needs. When your Kia needs a top quality replacement Strut, there's no need to trust any store other than the authority, Car Parts Discount. Just choose your year from the list below to find the right Kia Spectra5 Strut for your 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005 model.

Effect of growth regulators on certain turfgrasses
- C. Billot and
- A. Hentgen
The effects of three chemicals on Festuca, Lolium, Agrostis, and Phleum cultivars were evaluated at several locations in France. The chemicals are the diethanolamine salt of 6 hydroxy-3-(2H-pyridazinone (MH-30), 2-chloroethyl-trimethylammonium chloride (CCC or Chlormequat), and methyl 2-chloro-9-hydroxy (Chlorflurenol). Of the three, MH-30 resulted in the most inhibition of growth and least phytotoxicity at 5,400 g of active matter/ha applied at the beginning of the growing season. The primary influence observed was a reduction in flower heading. Additional index words: MH-30, Chlorflurenol, France, Highway turfgrass.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.

Heins disappointed in March launch for U.S. BlackBerry Z10
0. phoneArena posted on 05 Feb 2013, 17:34
While BlackBerry CEO Thorsten Heins should be pleased with the way that the BlackBerry Z10 launch has taken off in the U.K. and Canada, the executive is disappointed that U.S. carriers won't be selling the device until late next month; Heins says that for BlackBerry to be successful, it has to take market share back in the U.S...

To be honest I could personally care less about the first phone.. Mediocre at best from the reviews I've read. BUT I've never owned a BB product so maybe I'm missing something
33. Mittal (Posts: 494; Member since: 14 Dec 2011)
my only worry is the abysmal battery life that is being reported on the Z10
36. jinxed (Posts: 107; Member since: 10 Jan 2013)
true.. but i want the bb 2 success... stronger the competition..better 4 d consumer :)
2. InspectorGadget80 (unregistered)
You guys are taking way too damn long for ur BB fans to release here in the U.S. while Europe and CANADA gets theirs first
3. _Bone_ (Posts: 2155; Member since: 29 Oct 2012)
Strange crowd the UK. Why would they buy a 2011 tech phone for 2013 price? Don't get me wrong, it would've destroyed your average gingerbread and it's a well-rounded phone. For 2011 standards. The Xperia Z and Galaxy SIV will smash the Z10 in sales. (I guess Lewis Hamilton has great selling power on the Isles).
4. Xtasy (Posts: 284; Member since: 13 Jan 2013)
Why are u So slow? Who cares about the android! Its about the amazing software that the people love about the new blackberry...you are so stuck up about android that its depressing. I can easily get any android device I want right now but blackberry is just better in ways
5. PhoneArenaUser (Posts: 5498; Member since: 05 Aug 2011)
"Its about the amazing software that the people love about the new blackberry..."
Could you explain me what is so "amazing" about BlackBerry's software?
"...blackberry is just better in ways"
Could you share some examples, please?
7. thephoneguy92 (Posts: 191; Member since: 29 Dec 2011)
None have you has ever used BB10, therefore all of your arguments are irrelevant. You should all be hoping Blackberry succeeds instead of being stuck in your fanboy ways of, "My OS is always the best and everything else sucks." Competition breeds innovation. Stupidity breeds more stupidity.
10. Xtasy (Posts: 284; Member since: 13 Jan 2013)
I never said my OS is the best...I'm saying i prefer it for these reasons. I have a galaxy 10 tab ok so don't be talking....Stupidity is what breeds when u speak!
19. thephoneguy92 (Posts: 191; Member since: 29 Dec 2011)
If you read my post, I wasn't referring to you xtasy. Relax.
12. Xtasy (Posts: 284; Member since: 13 Jan 2013)
Oh and btw Blackberry is already succeeding so suck it
38. ZeroCide (Posts: 785; Member since: 09 Jan 2013)
13. _Bone_ (Posts: 2155; Member since: 29 Oct 2012)
Why, have you? Lol.
Nothing is more idiotic than assuming something that is not there, in your case creating fantasies what kind of phone another user may have.
18. thephoneguy92 (Posts: 191; Member since: 29 Dec 2011)
I have not used it. That's why you don't see me spouting off ignorant statements about BB10.
15. PhoneArenaUser (Posts: 5498; Member since: 05 Aug 2011)
I agree about a competition.
20. PhoneArenaUser (Posts: 5498; Member since: 05 Aug 2011)
"None have you has ever used BB10..."
If I have not used something, that's mean I can't have any opinion about it?
"...all of your arguments are irrelevant."
What argument do you see in my comment #5?
I just asked few questions, there was no propositions in my comment #5!
"...instead of being stuck in your fanboy ways..."
For example I'm not excited about BlackBerry 10, how that makes me a "fanboy" of something?
"My OS is always the best and everything else sucks."
I never have said that, so please don't make false interpretations!
"Competition breeds innovation."
Agree with that.
"Stupidity breeds more stupidity."
Agree with that also.
27. max9777 (Posts: 78; Member since: 11 Dec 2011)
Nicely said. Some people are so damned hooked on the OS they own it unbelievable. Why can't everyone just relax and enjoy the phone they have, why bash on why the other Phone/OS is outdated and sucks..
People want variety, having to OS will get tiring eventually, because there is just "that much" of innovation that a company can produce, then eventually, it will be repetitive stuff labeled as "new and innovative" and the company has you where they wanted you, Your Cash in their pockets.

I thing I hear most often was / is BMM (BlackBerry Messenger). Their security doesn't really matter anymore when overseas governments have access to BB's servers.

What phone in 2011 had a dual core processor with 2gb of ram, LTE, and an HD display?
31. daftastic (Posts: 87; Member since: 07 Jan 2013)
The closest would be the SGSII.
6. Xtasy (Posts: 284; Member since: 13 Jan 2013)
Thanks for asking...Peek and flow makes it easy to keep contact with anyone through text, facebook, etc without having to close the app or game u might be using... Another great thing is the active tiles which are in real time. Android has widgets which is great but i rather have the active tiles
The revolutionary keyboard which is still the best even on touch screen! This is the only time that i finally decided to go full touch while still on my BB 9900. Cuz they make it easy. Iphone and adnroid doesn't come close. Above all who wants to copy everyone with android or iphone like all my friends have or left BB for...the resoltion better than rest, screen size not HUGE! so i still have pocket space, etc etc........
That right there is enough to keep me with BB cuz it's different and easier to use from other platforms...They make what the fans wanted, simple!
11. downphoenix (Posts: 3165; Member since: 19 Jun 2010)
good points. Its sad that Blackberry missed the boat to do a launch last year, they could have potentially staved off some of their lost customers, but its good to see that the resulting release is a strong one. WP8 is pretty much screwed.
14. Xtasy (Posts: 284; Member since: 13 Jan 2013)
I agree with u but so far i heard that 50 percent of people from canada who pre ordered the blackberry don't have one so ye off to a good start
17. PhoneArenaUser (Posts: 5498; Member since: 05 Aug 2011)
I respect your opinion, at least you have stated some arguments!
1. Peek and Flow
I agree that Android or Windows Phone OS don't have it, but we can't say that BlackBerry OS is better than Android or Windows Phone OS because of "Peek and Flow" because it is more question of preference than evident advantage.
2. Live Tiles
In my opinion it also doesn't make BlackBerry OS better than other because Windows Phone also has "Live Tiles" and as you have mentioned already Android has Widgets. Also it can be solved with additional applications.
3. Newfangled Keyboard
Agree, it is something unique, but only unique keyboard can't make whole OS better than other OS(es).
4. Screen size not "HUGE"
There is even more different models with different display sizes in Android camp.

Time to eat your words, BBZ10 "shattered" sales records according to PA.

Wow I see the android people are upset with more blackberry news. Its old tech they say.... But you don't need massive hardware for a perfectly optimized OS. Its DOA they say...... Its selling faster then windows phones and its sold out just about everywhere. Its this and Its that blah blah blah. You Blackberry haters are just But Hurt that a promising fresh new OS is on the rise and you feel threatened that it will succeed and make android not so cool anymore. How sad that PA has been overtaken with android users and now they troll in every Apple and Blackberry article.

From my eyes, and I'm a BlackBerry, iOS, and Android user here, I think it, looks really great and refreshing. I'm almost certain that the Z10 will be my next device.

- Abstract:
- The class of linear ill-posed problems is introduced along with a range of standard numerical tools and basic concepts from linear algebra, statistics and optimization. Known algorithms for solving linear inverse ill-posed problems are analyzed to determine how they can be decomposed into independent modules. These modules are then combined to form new regularization algorithms with other properties than those we started out with. Several variations are tested using the Matlab toolbox MOORe Tools created in connection with this thesis. Object oriented programming techniques are explained and used to set up the illposed problems in the toolbox. Hereby, we are able to write regularization algorithms that automatically exploit structure in the ill-posed problem without being rewritten explicitly. We explain how to implement a stopping criteria for a parameter choice method based upon an iterative method. The parameter choice method is also used to demonstrate the implementation of the standard-form transformation. We have implemented a simple preconditioner aimed at the preconditioning of the general-form Tikhonov problem and demonstrate its simplicity and effciency. The steps taken with MOORe Tools to produce several of the figures are demonstrated in the toolbox tutorial. We have included the article "Subspace Preconditioned LSQR for Ill-Posed Problems" that discusses an algorithm that is not easily implemented with MOORe Tools.

Azerbaijan, Baku, Dec. 3 /Trend S.Isayev, T. Jafarov/
Twenty three non-governmental newspapers in Iran are under threat of being closed, Mehr reported.
Chief editors of these newspapers wrote a joint open letter for the country's president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, noting that the situation has reached crisis level, and urging the president to take necessary measures in this regard.
The letter also said that if the situation does not change, thousands of people, namely journalists will end up being unemployed.
Among the newspapers signed the letter were "Arman", "Aftabe Yazd", "Aferines", "Ebtikar", Etimad", "Jahane-Eqtisad", "Jahane-Sanat", "Donyaye-Eqtisad", Kar and Karger", "Mardomsalari", "Hembestegi".
Excessive inflaion rate, high printing costs, reduction of subsidies allocated by the state were among the factors influencing the deterioration of the economic situation.
Under the Ministry of Culture in Iran, there are 5086 licences issued for country newspapers, yet only 3267 of them are being published daily, weekly or monthly.

Buffalo Soupfest is a new event for restaurants to showcase their creative soups to a large crowd for a really cheap price. 2011 marked the introduction of this event to the people of Western New york and it was a booming success. Over 20,000 additional spoons had to be purchased to fulfill the demand and restaurants had to run back to forth from their locations to keep their bowls full. What's really great is a portion of the proceeds went to Hunter's Hope; a great charity that almost all Buffalo-ians love to support.

"Treatment for chest pain at Queen's Medical Centre A&E"
About: Queen's Medical Centre / Respiratory medicine Queen's Medical Centre Respiratory medicine NG7 2UH
Posted by Coder448 (as ),
I have atrial fibrillation, emphysema, chronic bronchitis and angina. Last month I went to A&E at QMC with chest pain. I told reception that I had chest pain and then waited to be seen – I know they are busy so I didn't mind too much. After a bit my chest pain went away and my AF settled down.
After about 2 hours a doctor came to see me. He immediately started berating me for going to A&E 6 times this year - even though this ended up with me being admitted on two differnt occasions.
He didn't ask any questions just seemed to start shouting at me as though I was a naughty boy. He told me that I was on the wrong tablets and didn't need them – even though it was my consultant and my GP who put me on them in the first place. I felt this doctor just treated me as if I was wasting his time. After he had finished shouting at me the nurse came and discharged me.
Since going home I've stopped all my medication just like he told me to even though I'm not sure this is the right thing to do.

Autumn's 2nd Birthday Party-- Dora Style!
Today we had our families over for Autumn's 2nd birthday party. Autumn loves Dora (especially Dora's backpack and Boots!), so I decided to do a Dora theme. Jeremi created this poster at work and I hung it on one of our large picture frames in the living room. So cute!
Last night I was up until midnight, decorating the house and getting Autumn's gifts wrapped. This year we decided to do something a little different, in that we got her Dora doll house and Little Mommy Playset out of their boxes and set them up unwrapped. This worked out great, because when she woke up she could play with them right away and we didn't have to spend time setting them up.
Ok, so there are still coats on the chairs and the table is a little messy... but I had to show off my streamers that I hung... :o)-
And, the Dora food table. We kept it pretty simple, we had a vegetable tray, pizza from Cici's and cake from McArthurs.
Nathan was a liiittle jealous of Autumn's DORA birthday party. Before the guests arrived, Nathan would get so upset if I wanted to take a picture of Autumn. He demanded to be in the photos, or would dart in front of the camera... which, is so unlike him, because usually he doesn't want me to take pictures of him! heheh. He did have a good time once the guests came, though.
At the party supply store, they had a Dora mask that I just could not pass up. Auttie loved it.
Autumn LOVES her Little Mommy dolls, and Grandma and Pa got her this adorable Little Mommy playset. It is realllly neat, there is a kitchen, sink (that turns into a changing table), bed and feeding area with highchair. Autumn LOVES it!
I got her one of those Baby Alive dolls that you feed and it uhh. Goes Potty. Autumn actually went peepee on the potty at Grandma's yesterday for the first time. She is really showing an interest in potty training. I am not sure what she'll think of this doll, it will be a fun experiment. :o)- And, a messy one!
Autumn can't wait to be a Mommy someday.
Autumn got a lot of cute outfits at her party...
Tracy and Jeff got Tracy this adorable boutique outfit, Tracy's sister embroidered it. Its SO adorable! Her boutique is called Lollipop Embroidery if you are interested in taking a peak.
Autumn loved her Dora purse complete with Dora phone.
Holly helping Autumn open her Dora big wheel. Now, her and Nathan won't fight over his Batman big wheel! We just need to get Little Auttie a helmet very soon!
Uncle Jeff and Tracy
This photo is a little fuzzy... but, here is Autumn with Mommy, Daddy and big bro infront of her cake.
Mommy and Autumn
Autumn's Dora cake
I thought this was an adorable photo I got of Autumn in front of her cake. She is getting SO big, I just cannot believe it. Autumn was SO excited about her cake that she cried after I got it out, because she didn't want to wait to eat it. Unfortunately, we had to have pizza first! She is quite an eater, she had a plate full of veggies and then two slices of pizza. Its nice to have one child that isn't super picky! ;o)-
Tomorrow is Autumn's actual birthday! I am so mixed on how I feel about her turning two... I'm sad at how fast she is growing right before my eyes, yet is is so fascinating to see my beautiful girl bloom into a talkative and "I do it!" independent little individual. I am sure the 2's will bring a lot of special moments.

Retiring basketball superstar Kobe Bryant has revealed the conversation he had with singer Michael Jackson which helped shape his career.
In 1998, Bryant's career was still in its infancy while Jackson was still at the peak of his powers.
Bryant, who was just 18 at the time, said the conversation would become a huge influence over his career during an interview with Andrea Kramer for HBO's Real Sports.
"Gold's Gym in '98," Kobe said. "Lifting weights and I get a phone call and it's Michael Jackson on the other line. And [I'm] kinda, 'What the hell is going on?' Somebody's playing a practical joke…He's a big basketball fan.
"I was starting to get flack for being an introvert and being so serious all the time about the game. And he wanted to call and give me encouragement and say, 'Don't change for them. You have to stay focused. If you wanna be one of the all-time greats, you have to study the all-time greats.
"You have to be obsessive about what you do and how you do it.' And in the summertime, I would just disappear. I'd be studying, I'd be researching, I'd be figuring out a way."
Another "MJ", Magic Johnson, paid tribute to Bryant during his 18th and final Western Conference All-Star appearance during the annual All-Stars match earlier this month.

I took a look at the DynamicMBean API. It would have been a lot better for performance if the name and types were combined into a single String signature...oh well. I suppose that even if you have a unique match by name that you still need to check to make sure the signature types match? Given that, you're probably better off using hashing along with a special comparator or something similar. You might want to look at the CGLIB KeyFactory class, it will save you from writing all the tedious hashCode and equals code, at the cost of one new object instance per lookup. > A good start for us and I think a bunch or other projects would be to > have a fast reflection interface to a class.

Even better for performance would be: FastClass fastClass = FastClass.create(javaClass); int index = fastClass.getIndex(javaMethod); // time passes fastClass.invoke(index, instance, args); Since you have to store other metadata per method I assume you could stash the index away too. >>> On another issue, since we own the class loader implementation class, >>> is there some interface we can add to have your dynamic classes loaded >>> directly by our classloader instead of a sub classloader? >> >> Across most of the API there is usually a provision for supplying the >> classloader to generate the class with, is that what you mean?

Actually we use setAccessible to directly invoke the protected defineClass method on whatever ClassLoader is passed in.

Date: 1983
Size: 19 x 31.5 inches
Notes: Poster
Artist: Rouchon, Jean-Alexis
Information: For more details call 514 656 3301
About The Poster: Very little is known about Jean-Alexis Rouchon. We know he was born in France and lived from 1794-1878. He is known as one of the first artists to use posters as a form of advertising (hence this exhibition poster from the French museum of 'publicité', or advertising), and very often printed them himself. He incorporated wall-paper into his designs (perhaps one of the first uses of appliqué), and was known for his use of colour at a time when most posters were limited to black and white letterpress.
We love this poster and it's simplicity. It is linen-backed, in excellent condition and ready to be framed.

In Greek mythology, Circe (pronounced: /ˈsɜrsiː/; Greek Κίρκη Kírkē "falcon") is a minor goddess of magic (or sometimes a nymph, witch, enchantress or sorceress), described in Homer's Odyssey as "The loveliest of all immortals", living on the island of Aeaea, famous for her part in the adventures of Odysseus.
By most accounts, Circe was the daughter of Helios, the god of the sun, and Perse, an Oceanid and the sister of Aeetes, the keeper of the Golden Fleece, Perses and Pasiphaë, the wife of King Minos and mother of the Minotaur.[1] Other accounts make her the daughter of Hecate.[2]
Circe transformed her enemies, or those who offended her, into animals through the use of magical potions and a wand. She was known for her vast knowledge of drugs and herbs.
That Circe also purified the Argonauts for the death of Absyrtus, as related in Argonautica,[3] may reflect early tradition.[4]
In ancient literature
Homer's Odyssey
In Homer's Odyssey, Circe is described as living in a mansion that stands in the middle of a clearing in a dense wood. Around the house prowled strangely docile lions and wolves, the drugged victims of her magic;[5] they were not dangerous, and fawned on all newcomers. Circe worked at a huge loom.[6] She invited Odysseus' crew to a feast of familiar food, a pottage of cheese and meal, sweetened with honey and laced with wine, but also laced with one of her magical potions, and she turned them all into swine with a wand after they gorged themselves on it. Only Eurylochus, suspecting treachery from the outset, escaped to warn Odysseus and the others who had stayed behind at the ships. Odysseus set out to rescue his men, but was intercepted by his great grandfather, Hermes,[7] who had been sent by Athena. Hermes told Odysseus to use the holy herb moly to protect himself from Circe's potion and, having resisted it, to draw his sword and act as if he were to attack Circe. From there, Circe would ask him to bed, but Hermes advised caution, for even there the goddess would be treacherous. She would take his manhood unless he had her swear by the names of the gods that she would not.
Odysseus followed Hermes's advice, freeing his men. Odysseus and his men remained on the island for one year feasting and drinking wine. According to Homer, Circe suggested two alternative routes to Odysseus to return to Ithaca: toward the "Wandering Rocks" where King Aeolus reigned or passing between the dangerous Scylla and the whirlpool Charybdis, conventionally identified with the Strait of Messina. She also advised Odysseus to go to the Underworld and gave him directions.[8]
This adventure, like the story of the Cyclops, is a fairy tale of wide dispersion. In 1869 G.K.C. Gerland[9] showed that the story makes part of the collection of Somadeva, Kathāsaritsāgara, a store of Indian tales, of which 1200 CE is the approximate date. Circe appears as a Yackshini, and is conquered when an adventurer seizes her flute whose magic music turns men into beasts. The Indian Circe had the habit of eating the animals into which she transformed men.[10]
Hesiod's Theogony
Towards the end of Hesiod's Theogony (1011f) it is stated that Circe bore of Odysseus three sons: Ardeas or Agrius (otherwise unknown), Latinus, and Telegonus who ruled over the Tyrsenoi, that is the Etruscans.
Other literature
Later poets generally only speak of Telegonus as Odysseus' son by Circe. When grown to manhood, later poets reported, she sent him to find Odysseus, who had long since returned to his home on Ithaca, but on arrival Telegonus accidentally killed his father. He brought the body back to Aeaea and took Odysseus' widow Penelope and son Telemachus with him. Circe made them immortal and married Telemachus, while Telegonus made Penelope his wife.
According to Lycophron's Alexandra (808) and John Tzetzes' scholia on the poem (795 - 808), Circe used magical herbs to bring Odysseus back to life after he had been killed by Telegonus. Odysseus then married Telemachus to Circe's daughter Cassiphone. Some time later, Telemachus had a quarrel with his mother-in-law and killed her; Cassiphone then killed Telemachus to avenge her mother's death. On hearing of this, Odysseus died of grief.
Dionysius of Halicarnassus (1.72.5) cites Xenagoras the historian as claiming that Odysseus and Circe had three sons: Romus, Anteias, and Ardeias who respectively founded three cities called by their names: Rome, Antium, and Ardea.
In later tales Circe turned Picus into a woodpecker for refusing her love, and Scylla into a monstrous creature with six dogs' heads when Glaucus (another object of Circe's affection) declared his undying love for her. She had one daughter: Aega, who was born from the ocean in a shield of ice.
Circe is referred to in Dante's Divine Comedy: "Virtue is like an enemy avoided by all, as is a serpent, through misfortune of place, or through bad habit that impels them, on which account they have so transformed their nature, the dwellers in the miserable valley, that it seems that Circe had them in her pasture."[11]
Shakespeare makes a reference to Circe in The Comedy of Errors. When the Duke is listening to seemingly contradictory tales that arose due to confusion between identical twins, he says:
"Why what an intricate impeach is this!
I think you all have drunk of Circe's cup.
If here you housed him, here he would have been;"[12]
Calderon de la Barca composed a mythological spectacle play based on Ulysses entrapment in Circe's island. Love, the Greatest Enchantment was performed at Philip IV of Spain's palace of the Buen Retiro in 1635.
In ancient art
Although some scenes from the Odyssey remained favorites of the vase-painters, notably the visually dramatic episode of Polyphemus, the Circe episode was rarely depicted. In describing an unusual miniature fifth-century Greek bronze in the Walters Art Museum, Baltimore,[13] that takes the form of a man on all fours with the foreparts of a pig, Dorothy Kent Hill expressed the artist's dilemma: how could an artist depict a man bewitched into a pig other than as a man with a pig's head? "An author can discuss the mind and the voice, but an artist cannot show them."[14] In an Etruscan bronze mirror relief, a common barnyard pig is depicted at the feet of Circe: Odysseus and Elpenor approach her, swords drawn. The subject would be obscure, save that the names of the characters are inscribed in the bronze.[15] Some Boeotian vase-paintings show a caricature version of the episode, acted out by dwarf pygmies with negroid attributes, and an aged and lame Odysseus leaning on a staff; they are the mute survivors of some rustic comedy tradition that is impenetrable to us. The vase collection of the National Archaeological Museum in Athens, Greece holds a 5th century BCE lekythos with a depiction of this episode described as "Odysseus' companions turned into swine"[16]
Modern interpretations
Medical historians have speculated that the transformation to pigs was not intended literally but refers to anticholinergic intoxication.[17] Symptoms include amnesia, hallucinations, and delusions. The description of "moly" fits the snowdrop, a flower of the region that contains galantamine, which is an anticholinesterase and can therefore counteract anticholinergics.
The phrase "Circean poison" has been used to refer to intoxicating things, such as applause.[18]
The "Circe effect", coined by the enzymologist William P. Jencks, refers to a scenario where an enzyme lures its substrate towards it through electrostatic forces exhibited by the enzyme molecule before transforming it into product. Where this takes place, the catalytic velocity (rate of reaction) of the enzyme may be significantly faster than that of others.[19]

As one who feels that 9mm is the absolute minimum round for personal defense, I chose the Kahr PM9 over the "3 years ago crop" of .380 noisy crickets. At that time the SOLID sub compact 9mm market for guns with great triggers and ergonomics was fairly limited with prices ranging from $600 up to over 1k. Manufacturers are now recognizing the demand for more cost effective sub compact 9's with triggers that don't SUCK.;) Ruger has brought out the LC9 and Kahr is introducing the new CM9, basically a PM9 with fewer bells and whistles which will place it squarely in the same $400 range as the Ruger.
I came across this size comparison chart and thought the forum would appreciate the info.
This chart shows that Kahr will continue to own the "most compact" label but I'm sure we'd all like to hear from anyone who's shot the LC9 directly against the new Kahr CM9 for some feed back on controllability and trigger pull.
I haven't shot both. However, I've looked at both. Having held the both side by side and examining them I must say that the PM9 just seems like a better build gun. It's smaller, and easier to conceal. Plus, I didn't like the LCP and I certainly didn't like the way Ruger handled the issues.
It's one thing to have a product with issues. I can look past that. I can not forgive a company that stands behind their product. I've found that Kahr does stand behind their product.
I ended up with a PM9. As you said the CM9 is just a PM9 without some of the frills and one less magazine. Between the that and the Ruger, I would take the Kahr, hands down.
I like the look and size of the kahr, but I owned 2 kahr's, and both were jam-a-matics. And I found Kahr customer Service to be Pathetic. I have a pair of LCP's that I really like, so I will get a pair of LC9's
I'm thinking "Kahr folks" are gonna like the Kahr's, and "Ruger folks" are gonna' prefer the Ruger offerings...
And the Rohrbaugh folks are gonna laugh at what the peon's are buying... :)
I've considered a Kahr of one type or another for decades, but for one reason or another just never had one call my name loud enough.
On the contrary, I've owned Rugers for roughly 40+ years and never had a bad one. :D
Between my wife and myself we have three LCP's, and all three functioned perfectly right out of the box.
I have 6-7 9MM pistols, and I was not in the market for another one, but my buddy bought an LC9 and let me shoot it, and I'm telling ya, it's a sweet little pistol.
So, I bought one and it has been perfect right out of the cheap white cardboard box, and the accuracy, at self defense distance, is amazingly good..
I don't know how good the little Kahr is... I'm guessing very good. But for MY needs in a self defense weapon,and that is, absolute reliability, self defense accurate, and reasonable compact size for cc the Ruger LCP (@ $365.00 no less) is perfect.
(The LC9 is actually MORE than self defense accurate.. At 7 yards I can shoot a group than can be covered with 50c piece, and that's as good as my HK P2000sk can do for me..)
And my 4 decade history of owning Rugers, all excellent, made buying the diminutive Ruger LC9 a very, very easy decision..
Just glad we are offered choices, and I'm sure those folks who buy the Kahr will be well served...
Just no more served than I am with the LC9..
No offense, just conversin'..
Best Wishes,
>>I'm thinking "Kahr folks" are gonna like the Kahr's, and "Ruger folks" are gonna' prefer the Ruger offerings<<
I guess I'm one of the lucky ones since I've got 'em both and like 'em both! :)
We have a winner!:D:D:D

'You must conduct inspections to identify hazards and risks and to protect your workers, plant and machinery from potential loss,' says the Health & Safety Advisor.
There are four common inspections you need to conduct in your workplace
Workplace inspections consist of two types of inspections, says Louise Harty of Risk Assessment: The 100% legally compliant risk assessment toolkit. These are:
#1: Formal inspections; and
#2: Informal inspections.
Check out this article as we give more details regarding these two inspections.
But that's not all there is to inspections. You must also do:
#3: Tours
Your senior or middle management must conduct these inspections. The inspection must walk through your company and talk to employees during this inspection. The focus must be on health and safety issues that the workers mention.
Who should carry out this inspection?
Members of the team must take notes during the inspection for discussion afterwards.
Their notes must be on health, safety, employee issues and housekeeping.
#4: Housekeeping inspections
Your Health and Safety officer must do a monthly housekeeping inspection.
By keeping your work area clean, neat and tidy, you'll achieve the following six results:
That said; you must encourage all your employees to continually perform housekeeping inspections. After all, health and safety is everyone's responsibility. And as the Health& Safety Advisor puts it, your company's housekeeping motto should be: 'A place for everything, and everything in its place, ALWAYS'.
Keep in mind that it's not just Health and Safety officers who must do housekeeping inspections, supervisors or managers must do them as well.
They must use the inspection results from the Health and Safety officers for this or results from informal inspections.
Lookout for part two of this article where we'll give you additional inspections you must conduct in your workplace.

It is generally a weekly to biweekly newsletter, although on numerous occasions it has appeared less often. It was given its own forum on the site's homepage after a few editions on SWG3, and on SWSG.
Features include "Board News" (with site stats and new members), "Characters and Stuff", "RP News" (including lists of active topics, summaries of events, and, starting with the 7th edition, the "War Briefs" section), "Stories, Eras, and Duels", "OOC Area" (including games), and "Other" (often including pleas for help).
The 1st through 16th editions were published in SWG3, and the 17th and 18th in SWSG. For the 17th edition, the first on SWSG, the Chronicler was renovated, including a table of contents at the beginning, a more comprehensive organization, and more entertaining writing and feature titles (i.e., Editor's

The adrenal glands help the body react to stress, and they also keep fluids and electrolytes like potassium in check. Adenomas are benign tumors of these glands, which can affect the basic functions the body needs to survive and stay healthy. The way the adenoma impacts the body depends on the type of growth.
There are two basic types of adenomas: nonfunctioning and functioning. When such a tumor is functioning, it has the ability to influence the steroid hormones like cortisol that are released into the body. When it isn't functioning, it doesn't have the power to determine how much of these hormones are distributed, according to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center.
Within the functioning adenoma realm, there are several types of adenomas. There are ademonas that cause the body to produce too much of the hormone aldosterone. In other cases, too much adrenaline can cause a deadly situation, whereby the growth actually causes blood pressure to surge to the point where a heart attack or stroke may occur. The signs and symptoms of these types of adenomas all vary, according to the University of Pennsylvania.
When the tumor releases too much aldosterone into the bloodstream, it often causes an irregular heartbeat and high blood pressure, according to the American Cancer Society. Other signs include low levels of the electrolyte potassium, as well as problems with the kidneys and excessive thirst.
When too much of the feminizing hormones like estrogen are released, men may develop characteristics that are atypical of their gender. One of the most common occurrences may be the development of breasts, and those suffering from it can also experience a reduction in libido and erectile dysfunction, according to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center.
On the flipside, if too much of the steroid hormone androgen is released into a woman's body, she may experience hirsutism, which is excess hair on the body, according to the University of Pennsylvania. She may also develop acne that she never had before, and her periods may not be as regular as they used to be.
When too much cortisol is distributed, Cushing's syndrome can occur. Symptoms of this disorder are many and they include obesity, particularly fat in the upper part of the body that causes a rounded face or hump-backed. Those with the condition are also predisposed to diabetes. The symptoms may be psychological in nature and include extreme ups and downs in mood and depression, according to the University of Pennsylvania.
Too much of the hormone adrenaline can cause a particularly nasty situation. When this happens, a pheochromocytoma may develop. This type of growth results in heart palpitations, headaches, panic attacks and blood pressure so elevated that a heart attack and sudden death is a risk, according to Hitchcock Medical Center. This is a crisis situation that requires immediate attention.

In shift, US now seeks negotiated exit of Yemen's president
Saleh unlikely to bring reform
SANA, Yemen — The United States, which long supported Yemen's president, even in the face of recent widespread protests, has now quietly shifted positions and has concluded that he is unlikely to bring about the required reforms and must be eased out of office, according to United States and Yemeni officials.
The Obama administration had maintained its support of President Ali Abdullah Saleh in private and refrained from directly criticizing him in public, even as his supporters fired on peaceful demonstrators, because he was considered a critical ally in fighting the Yemeni branch of Al Qaeda.
This position has fueled criticism of the United States in some quarters for hypocrisy for rushing to oust a repressive autocrat in Libya but not in strategic allies like Yemen and Bahrain.
That position began to shift in the past week, administration officials said. While US officials have not publicly pressed Saleh to go, they have told allies and some reporters that they now view his hold on office as untenable, and they believe he should leave.
A Yemeni official said that the US position changed when the negotiations with Saleh on the terms of his potential departure began a little over a week ago.
"The Americans have been pushing for transfer of power since the beginning'' of those negotiations, the official said, but have not said so publicly because "they still were involved in the negotiations.''
Those negotiations now center on a proposal for Saleh to hand over power to a provisional government led by his vice president until new elections are held. That principle "is not in dispute,'' the Yemeni official said, only the timing.
It does remain in dispute among the student-led protesters, however, who have rejected any proposal that would give power to a leading official of the Saleh government.
The negotiations began after government-linked gunmen killed more than 50 protesters at an antigovernment rally on March 18, prompting a wave of defections of high-level government officials the following week. The US and Yemeni officials who discussed the talks did so on the condition of anonymity because the talks are private and still in progress.
It is not clear whether the United States is negotiating a safe passage for Saleh and his family, and residency in another country, but that appears to be the direction of the talks in Sana, the capital.
Yesterday, thousands of women calling for the ouster of Saleh were attacked by police with sticks and rocks, setting off a furious battle with male protesters that left several people hurt, activists said.
The women were marching down a main street in the southern town of Taiz shouting "peaceful, peaceful,'' when they were attacked, activist Ghazi al-Samei said.
Three of the young men suffered serious gunshot wounds when police opened fire, protester Bushra al-Maqtari said by telephone. She said over 200 more suffered breathing problems caused by inhaling tear gas.
Army tanks and armored cars stopped other demonstrators from entering Taiz, the site of some of the largest and angriest protests against Saleh's rule.
Human rights groups and activists say at least 10 people were killed during protests Friday in Douma, just outside the Syrian capital, and in nearby areas.
Yesterday, a witness said thousands of people gathered for prayers before the funeral of eight of the victims at Douma's Grand Mosque, which was at the center of Friday's protests.
The crowds shouted "We want Freedom'' and "Douma and Daraa, one hand,'' in a reference to a drought-stricken and impoverished city in the south from where Syria's protests began on March 18.
The witness said the two other people killed in areas near Douma were also buried yesterday. All the coffins were draped with Syrian flags, he added. He said there was no sign of security forces in Douma, adding that mourning tents for receiving condolences were set up in the city later.
President Bashar Assad, facing the biggest challenge yet to his 11-year rule, has made a series of overtures that protesters say do not satisfy their demands for real change.
The president sacked his government last week in answer to growing cries for reform in Syria, one of the most authoritarian regimes in the Middle East. On Thursday, he set up committees to look into the deaths of civilians during two weeks of unrest and replacing decades-old state-of-emergency laws.
Yesterday, he appointed Adel Safar, the former agriculture minister, to form a new government. Safar, 58, is seen as a respectable figure in a government that many had accused of corruption. Safar holds a doctorate in agricultural sciences from a French polytechnic center and was the dean of Damascus University's agricultural faculty from 1997-2000.
The violence in Douma Friday was some of the worst seen in two weeks of bloody protests in Syria, during which at least 80 people have died, according to rights groups.
Activists said protesters had come under attack by security forces as they left the Grand Mosque chanting slogans for freedom. The troops hit people with clubs and threw stones before firing tear gas and finally live ammunition.
Authorities blamed Friday's bloodshed on "armed gangs'' and Assad has described the unrest as a foreign-influenced conspiracy against Syria.
In Bahrain yesterday, the government lifted its ban on the main opposition newspaper after the editor resigned. The one-day ban was the latest step in a crackdown against protests rocking the tiny, strategic island kingdom. The paper, Al-Wasat, was expected to appear again today.

do you moms wash newborn baby clothes from the store, before putting it on the baby ?!
Oh yes! I have very sensitive skin, and so do my kids. I always washed things before I put them on the kids because I didn't want them to react to anything that might be on the clothing.
YES!!! Those clothes have been in a box and shipped from a warehouse and touched by so many.. lol..
Absolutely!! Never know how long those things sit in warehouses with Lord knows what crawling on them. I know that for fact because a friend of mine was the softlines manager at a ranch store here and she would tell some seriously nasty stories about the dead bugs that would fall out of those bags.
Always wash!
Always wash!
lol sorry. I was texting her one day and found the cutest outfit in the store and I couldn't wait to get home to try it on him and she told me that. Nasty.

TNT is a destructive block that, once activated, creates an explosion that can destroy surrounding blocks within a certain radius. It is originally a vanilla block but has a few crafting uses in Tekkit.
TNT is usually recommended as a quick and efficient method for destroying large portions of undesirable blocks or structures. It is also useful for clearing space for large builds, however it must be controlled properly. It can also be used as a weapon, but isn't recommended due to its destructive nature and its potential to seriously injure or even kill the player if they are caught within the blast radius.
TNT can also be used to craft Industrial TNT, however, you should note that Industrial TNT will create smaller explosion than original TNT.

LAS VEGAS (Oct. 23, 2005) -- Doug Herbert and the Snap-on Tools Top Fuel team earned another couple of round wins Sunday at the ACDelco NHRA Nationals at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
Herbert drove to the No. 6 spot in qualifying Saturday before he earned another semifinal round appearance on Sunday.
"All in all, this was a better outing for us than the last time we were in Las Vegas," Herbert said about the second round loss in April. "We went to the semifinals for the sixth time this season and that is a major improvement over the three semifinals we were in last year. We wanted to walk out of the desert with a Wally trophy, but I guess that will have to wait for the '06 season."
Herbert beat Jack Beckman in the first round of racing action. Herbert's Snap-on Tools dragster smoked the tires early, turning in a 6.104-second pass at 276.52 mph, still beating Beckman's 8.013 at 114.30. It was the first time the two racers met up in final eliminations.
In Round Two, Herbert drove past Doug Foley with a 4.653 at 314.75 over Foley's 4.745 at 298.87. It was the second time this season Herbert has topped Foley in final eliminations.
Herbert turned in a 5.251 run at 293.54 in a battle of tire-smoking dragsters in the semifinals, losing to the Alan Johnson-tuned entry that went 4.915 at 291.51.
"We beat ourselves today and that's what is really disappointing for this team," Herbert said. "We just had problems finding the right tuneup for this track but we'll get to Pomona and bounce back. We weren't the only team struggling this weekend, but we have a great group of guys working on this Snap-on dragster, so I'm confident we'll get to Pomona and be a threat to win the last race of the season.
"Even when we have a few hurdles to clear, we learn something that will help us get better. We want to win rounds to close out this season, but we also have a lot of great things to look forward to next year, and anything we can learn about the car now will be an advantage for us next season."
Herbert drove the Snap-on Tools dragster to a 4.528 pass at 317.72 in qualifying and started in the top half of the 16-car field for the 12th time this season.
All the action can be seen on ESPN2 tonight at 8 p.m. (ET).
The next and final event of the 2005 NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series season is the Automobile Club of Southern California Finals at Pomona Raceway in Pomona, Calif., Nov. 3-6.

The big announcement by the governor's office this week that a California firm will invest $700 million to build an auto manufacturing plant in Casa Grande left out one important fact: The company doesn't have anywhere near that much.
In fact, a spokesman for Lucid Motors put the company's bank account in the range of "a few hundred million" even after several rounds of fundraising. Much of that cash has come from Chinese investors and even a Chinese state-owned company.
But David Salguero said the company is sure it can raise the rest of the money by 2022 to turn out at least 130,000 all-electric vehicles a year with price tags north of $100,000 from a plant Lucid says will hire 2,000.
He said Lucid is courting new investors. And Salguero said the company is counting on profits from the first vehicles, which are scheduled to roll off the assembly line in late 2018 — years before the company will have the cash to finish the plant.
That lack of cash has not dimmed the views of the projects by Gov. Doug Ducey who engineered the Tuesday press conference, complete with two prototypes of the car Lucid hopes eventually to build.
The Arizona Commerce Authority already has promised a $5 million grant. ACA spokeswoman Susan Marie said the company also wants $1.5 million for job training. And she said it could theoretically qualify for up to $40 million if it actually creates all 2,000 jobs.
But Marie said there is no risk to Arizona taxpayers, with all that contingent on Lucid actually building the plant and hiring the workers.
"Should it for some reason not move forward, the state will not have spent any money," she said.
But the situation is a bit different in Pinal County, which has agreed to buy the 493 acres Lucid wants for the plant.
Tim Kanavel, the county's program manager for economic development, said that land purchase will go ahead once Lucid signs a development agreement. At that point the plan is to lease the property to Lucid, with the company purchasing it outright at the end of five years.
"There's always risk involved," he said. But Kanavel said the county has done what it can to limit its financial exposure.
"If for some reason this company, between now and when they purchase the property, say, 'We don't want it,' well then we own 493 acres of prime industrial real estate," he said.
"And we can always sell that," he continued. "So we feel that the risk is very minimized on that."
He said the price of the parcels the county will buy is still being worked out but put it as "way less than $100 million." And the price Lucid will pay also remains subject to negotiation.
Kanavel said, though, he is "absolutely" confident that Lucid will be able to complete the deal despite the fact it does not yet have the money. That's also the view of the Arizona Commerce Authority.
"It is no secret that Lucid is a startup company," said Marie. "Startup companies raise money in rounds and based on milestones as they commercialize their products."
But it may be something of a misnomer to call Lucid a startup.
It's true the company did not exist before October. But that's only because that's when Lucid jettisoned the name it started with nine years ago: Atieva.
Still, state officials believe the company has a future.
Ducey press aide Daniel Scarpinato said his boss toured the plant and met multiple times with company officials.
"And I think the fact that I think 60 different locations across the country were competing for this manufacturing center speaks to the very fact that this is a company that's seen as on the rise … and that this is a recruitment that many states and cities across the country felt was very attractive to get," he said. "And Arizona got it."
Marie said the company has raised cash in prior fundraising operations from "reputable venture investors" like Venrock Capital and Mitsui Inc.
There also is a lot of Chinese money involved. That includes BAIC Automotive Group, the state-owned holding company of several car manufacturing firms, and Jia Yueting, who is CEO of LeEco, a Chinese consumer electronics company.
Salguero acknowledged that some of these investors, like Yueting, are no longer interested in putting additional funds into Lucid. In fact, Yueting has moved on, with LeEco unveiling its own LeSee prototype last month in San Francisco.
But Salguero said there are other options.
"We will be going out for another round of funding," Salguero said. "There will be more."
Marie said ACA officials are not concerned that the company does not expect to have all the money before 2022.
"The ACA is comfortable that Lucid Motors currently has sufficient funding for the initial phase of the project," she said. She said that $700 million is the price tag to have a full-blown manufacturing plant capable of turning out 130,000 vehicles a year.
Marie also defended the incentives being offered to Lucid. She said even if the company qualifies for the entire $46.5 million in assistance, it "pales in comparison to the $1.3 billion package for Tesla (Motors) and the $335 million package for Faraday Future that Nevada did." Tesla already is producing vehicles; Faraday is still in the development stage.
Salguero said it's not surprising that people are generally unaware of Lucid Motors — and not just because the name did not exist before October.
"There's not much that we've been saying about our car until very recently," he said.
"As a marketing manager, my approach to marketing is you don't say things unless you can really do them," Salguero explained. "It's why we didn't start talking about our car until we actually had a prototype running and the final design locked in."

Have employer handbook policy developments led to the unintended death of common sense?
