iPhone 4s RF Exposure Information
iPhone has been tested and meets applicable limits for radio frequency (RF) exposure.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) refers to the rate at which the body absorbs RF energy. The SAR limit is 1.6 watts per kilogram in countries that set the limit averaged over 1 gram of tissue and 2.0 watts per kilogram in countries that set the limit averaged over 10 grams of tissue. During testing, iPhone radios are set to their highest transmission levels and placed in positions that simulate use against the head, with no separation, and near the body, with 10mm separation.
Depending on the dimensions of the device, additional SAR limits may apply.
To reduce exposure to RF energy, use a hands-free option, such as the built-in speakerphone, the supplied headphones, or other similar accessories. Carry iPhone at least 10mm away from your body to ensure exposure levels remain at or below the as-tested levels. Cases with metal parts may change the RF performance of the device, including its compliance with RF exposure guidelines, in a manner that has not been tested or certified.
Although this device has been tested to determine SAR in each band of operation, not all bands are available in all areas. Bands are dependent on your service provider's wireless and roaming networks.
The highest SAR values are as follows:
Model A1431, A1387
1.6 W/kg (over 1 g) SAR Limit
Head: 1.18
Body: 1.19
2.0 W/kg (over 10 g) SAR Limit
Head: 0.99
Body: 0.99

The levonorgestrel (LNg)
intrauterine device (IUD) releases small amounts of
levonorgestrel, a form of
progesterone, into the
uterus each day. This type of IUD reduces cramping and
heavy menstrual bleeding. And it is a highly effective method of
birth control.
It must be replaced
every 5 years to ensure that hormone release continues at a level that helps
Most women have a significant decrease in uterine blood loss
with the LNg IUD. Some studies report up to a 95% reduction in blood loss.1 Increased spotting during the first couple
of months is common, followed by less bleeding thereafter.
The LNg IUD can reduce menstrual bleeding and cramps and, in many women, eventually cause menstrual periods to stop altogether. In this case, not menstruating is not harmful.
The LNg IUD may cause hormonal side effects similar to those caused by oral contraceptives.
These side effects are not common. But if they do happen, they usually go away after the first few months.

Microsoft may be trying to stop Apple from making "app store" its own but Amazon is actually doing something to make its own app store.
The Kindle-maker is in the process of building an app store for Google Android.
But instead of simply copying what Apple has so successfully translated into 10 billion downloads, Amazon is putting its own twist on what smartphone users have come to expect out of app stores And it might be bad news for developers.
Amazon will reportedly set the price charged for apps and not developers, according to Business Insider.
Developers would be allowed to suggest a price when submitting an app for approval, but ultimately Amazon would pick the final price.
App developers will still get 70 percent of the cut of app sale, with a minimum of 20 percent regardless of price.
The move is very different than the system Apple has put in place. While the cost-sharing is the same and Apple controls what apps get approved, it does not set the price of an app.

"The wine at this rustic Williamsburg enoteca with a Sardinian slant flows like Rheingold at a frat party. Which might explain why the ebullient, mostly Italian crowd is hugging and chain-toasting one another late into the night. For sustenance, try piquant honey-drizzled sheep's-milk cheese paired with a Sardinian red Cannonau served in a two-ounce glass called a marzianetto, or a delicious pressed panino on crusty ciabatta. "

"Simply delicious food, alongside a great wine list in a cozy interior."
Claudio Coronas and Rossana Patteri, the owners of D.O.C. Wine Bar, a little slice of Sardinia in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, wanted to bring the simple foods of his homeland to the United States. Thankfully, that includes pane carasau, a giant cracker bread served just off the grill, moistened with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkled with coarse sea salt and rosemary.
Fragrant and fragile, this delicate, super-crispy flatbread breaks into large shards with the tap of a finger, making it the ultimate edible platform for Mr. Coronas's impressive selection of Sardinian meats and cheeses. As an after-dinner treat, the warm pane is dotted with cubes of salty ricotta salata and drizzled with honey. (Who really needs chocolate when you can eat great cheese with honey?)
In Sardinia, Mr. Coronas said, it is baked in brick ovens ''by very old women.'' Traditionally, he said, shepherds took the pane to the mountains, where they worked for months. ''It lasted a long time without spoiling,'' he said. Start packing those lunchboxes.

Generic Company Place Holder Project: Merge
Project: Merge is a file comparison utility designed to compare XML files and only show you the differences which matter. People who work with files in XML format, such as programmers or database administrators, could find it very useful.
Extensible Markup Language offers structured handling of complex data according to a specification, but large XML files may differ in subtle ways. Some of these matter, some don't. Using a standard text comparison tool, such as UltraCompare, may highlight irrelevant differences--for example, the ordering fields in an address may be irrelevant to the file's actual information content, but a typical character-by-character compare will flag them as issues to resolve. Project: Merge uses the XML specification for a given file to figure out if a difference matters or not, and only highlights those which do. Once highlighted, you can choose which value is the proper one, and produce a merged XML file containing the correct values. You can also choose to launch Project:Merge in "compare" mode, which highlights differences but does not allow you to change the underlying files.
Project: Merge has a simple but functional interface. Although it's not snazzy, it gets the job done, and it's usually intuitive what is meant by onscreen symbols. It does have a few flaws, however. First, there is no means of creating groups of XML specifications from within the program; you can only do this when you open an XML file which it cannot identify, and it's not intuitive how you create groups, nor can you move a specification once it's been created. While Project: Merge allows you to compare two files to each other, or two files to a base file, you can work with only one such set at a time; there is no tabbed or multiple-document option. Other minor niceties, such as "Recently Opened Files," are likewise missing. Last, the window title will tell you if you are "comparing" or "merging," but it's easy to overlook this and wonder why your changes cannot be saved.
These are mostly quibbles, though. If you have a need for a description-aware XML differencing/merge tool, Project: Merge is most assuredly worth downloading to see if it suits your needs.
Note: This software is priced at 19GBP. The price reflected here is the USD price given the exchange rate on the date this review was posted.

Aviva Premiership
O'Leary signs for London Irish
ESPNscrum Staff
March 21, 2012
Tomas O'Leary will swap Munster for London Irish © Getty Images
Ireland scrum-half Tomas O'Leary has signed a three-year deal with London Irish.
The 28-year-old will join the Exiles in the summer from Munster, where he has won two Heineken Cups and two Magners League titles. O'Leary will replace former England scrum-half Paul Hodgson, who will leave London Irish for Worcester at the end of this season. Capped 24 times, O'Leary was part of Ireland's Grand Slam-winning side in 2009 and he was selected for the British and Irish Lions tour to South Africa only for an ankle injury to rule him out.
"Joining London Irish presents a new and exciting chapter in my career and one that I am really looking forward to," O'Leary said. "I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Munster and the Heineken Cup triumph in 2008 will always remain a highlight.
"I'm looking forward to working alongside Brian and the coaching team and testing myself in the Aviva Premiership and playing alongside a very talented squad at London Irish. I have been lucky enough to be part of some winning teams at both Munster and Ireland and I hope to have even more success as a London Irish player."
Exiles director of rugby Brian Smith said: "Tomas will be a fantastic addition to our squad. He is a proven scrum half who has represented his country at the highest level. He will bring with him a wealth of experience and a winning mentality. We look forward to welcoming him to the club this summer."

Dempsey hat trick, Seattle and Portland tie 4-4
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) The plan was for Clint Dempsey to go 60 minutes and see how he was feeling less than 72 hours after playing 90 minutes in a U.S. national team exhibition against Mexico.
When the one-hour mark arrived, Dempsey and the Seattle Sounders were trailing rival Portland by two goals. He wasn't about to check out.
Dempsey scored the first hat trick in his MLS career, including goals in the 85th and 87th minutes to help the Sounders rally late for a wild 4-4 draw with the Timbers on Saturday.
"You always feel good when you are contributing, scoring goals or getting assists," Dempsey said. "I'm in a good rhythm at the moment and it's about continuing that form."
Trailing 4-2 for most of the second half after goals from Diego Chara and Maximiliano Urruti early in the half gave Portland the advantage, Dempsey led Seattle's stunning late comeback to earn a point in the first Cascadia rivalry matchup of the season.
Dempsey scored in the 85th minute to get Seattle within 4-3, a goal that felt was coming with the pressure the Sounders were pushing forward. Seconds later, Seattle defender DeAndre Yedlin was taken down in the penalty box by Portland's Ben Zemanski and referee Hilario Grajeda immediately pointed to the penalty spot. Yedlin said he was hoping to draw a penalty on the play and Zemanski obliged by clipping the young Seattle defender.
After a brief discussion with Gonzalo Pineda, who was expecting to take the penalty kick, Dempsey stepped up. He converted the chance, beating former Seattle goalkeeper Andrew Weber to get Seattle even.
"That point today felt like more than a point. It kind of felt like a win," Dempsey said.
The afternoon was an advertisement for the league, even if it gave the coaches heartburn. Play was wide open and end-to-end. There were 41 shots and countless near misses. There were four goals in the first 25 minutes – including goals from Seattle's Kenny Cooper, Portland Diego Valeri and Dempsey – along with the two late scores.
And the biggest star on the field burned brightest even if he was a little tired at the end.
"He's a leader. He wants to lead this team. He wants to show that last year was not the Clint Dempsey that we're going to see this year," Seattle coach Sigi Schmid said. "And he wants to show people he's ready for the World Cup. I think he did that today."
Seattle walked off thrilled with the final result and knowing there were other missed chances in the final minutes to get a winner. Meanwhile, the Timbers stood stunned as the worst start in their brief history continued. The Timbers have generally been slow starters since joining the league in 2011, but now have just three points after five games, not the opening anyone in Portland expected after reaching the Western Conference finals last season.
"You should never give up 4 goals, and you should never tie a game if you score 4 goals," Portland coach Caleb Porter said.
Chara was the star until Dempsey took over. On his 28th birthday, Chara scored in MLS play for the first time since September 2011. Seattle defense was willing to give him space and he took advantage with two perfectly placed shots from outside the penalty box.
His first goal in the ninth minute deflected off goalkeeper Stephen Frei's hand but had enough force to get into the net. His second goal, and what appeared to be the winner, came from about 25 yards and Frei had no chance at the save. Both times, Seattle's defenders failed to step up and defend Chara's shot.
"I feel good, but obviously completely not happy with the game," Chara said. "We should have won that game, so to score 2 goals, for me, is good, but I'd rather see a `W' than me score 2 goals."
Urruti's goal in the 57th minute appeared to give Portland plenty of cushion. But Dempsey said otherwise and both sides had to settle for the draw in one of the wilder matchups of a rivalry dating to the mid-1970s.

No upgradable disksCause:
A swap entry in the /etc/vfstab file is causing the upgrade to fail.Solution:
Comment out the following lines in the /etc/vfstab file:
All swap files and slices on disks not being upgraded
Swap files that are no longer present
Any unused swap slices
usr/bin/bzcat not foundCause:
Solaris Live Upgrade fails because of needing a patch cluster.Solution:
A patch is needed to install Solaris Live Upgrade. Ensure that you have the most recently updated patch list by consulting http://sunsolve.sun.com. Search for the info doc 72099 on the SunSolve web site.
Upgradeable Solaris root devices were found, however, no suitable partitions to hold the Solaris install software were found. Upgrading using the Solaris Installer is not possible. It might be possible to upgrade using the Solaris Software 1 CDROM. (x86 based systems only)Cause:
You cannot upgrade with the Solaris Software - 1 CD because you do not have enough space.Solution:
To upgrade, you can either create a swap slice that is larger than or equal to 512 Mbytes or use another method of upgrading such as the Solaris installation program from Solaris Operating System DVD, a net installation image, or JumpStart.
ERROR: Could not select locale (x86 based systems only)Cause:
When you test your JumpStart profile by using the pfinstall -D command, the dry run test fails under the following conditions:
The profile contains the locale keyword.
You're testing a release that contains GRUB software. Starting with the Solaris 10 1/06 release, the GRUB boot loader facilitates booting different operating systems installed on your system with the GRUB menu.
With the introduction of GRUB software, the miniroot is compressed. The software can no longer find the list of locales from the compressed miniroot. The miniroot is the smallest possible Solaris root (/) file system and is found on the Solaris installation media.Solution:
Perform the following steps. Use the following values.
MEDIA_DIR is /cdrom/cdrom0/
MINIROOT_DIR is $MEDIA_DIR/Solaris_10/Tools/Boot
MINIROOT_ARCHIVE is $MEDIA_DIR/boot/x86.miniroot
TEMP_FILE_NAME is /tmp/test
Become superuser or assume an equivalent role.
Roles contain authorizations and privileged commands. For more information about roles, see Configuring RBAC (Task Map) in System Administration Guide: Security Services.
Uncompress the miniroot archive.
# /usr/bin/gzcat $MINIROOT_ARCHIVE > $TEMP_FILE_NAME
Create the miniroot device by using the lofiadm command.
# LOFI_DEVICE=/usr/sbin/lofiadm -a $TEMP_FILE_NAME # echo $LOFI_DEVICE /dev/lofi/1
Mount the miniroot with the lofi command under the Miniroot directory.
# /usr/sbin/mount -F ufs $LOFI_DEVICE $MINIROOT_DIR
Test the profile.
# /usr/sbin/install.d/pfinstall -D -c $MEDIA_DIR $path-to-jumpstart_profile
After the testing is completed, unmount the lofi device.
# umount $LOFI_DEVICE
Delete the lofi device.
# lofiadm -d $TEMP_FILE_NAME
The upgrade option is not presented even though there is a version of Solaris software that's upgradable on the system.Cause:
Reason 1: The /var/sadm directory is a symlink or it is mounted from another file system.Solution:
Reason 1: Move the /var/sadm directory into the root (/) or /var file system.Cause:
Reason 2: The /var/sadm/softinfo/INST_RELEASE file is missing.Solution:
Reason 2: Create a new INST_RELEASE file by using the following template:
OS=Solaris VERSION=x REV=0
Is the version of Solaris software on the system
Reason 3: SUNWusr is missing from /var/sadm/softinfo.Solution:
Solution 3: You need to do an initial installation. The Solaris software is not upgradable.
Couldn't shut down or initialize the md driverSolution:
Follow these instructions:
If the file system is not a RAID-1 volume, comment out in the vsftab file.
If the file system is a RAID-1 volume, break the mirror and reinstall. For information about unmirroring, see Removing RAID-1 Volumes (Unmirroring) in Solaris Volume Manager Administration Guide.
The upgrade fails because the Solaris installation program cannot mount a file system.Cause:
During an upgrade, the script attempts to mount all the file systems that are listed in the system's /etc/vfstab file on the root (/) file system that is being upgraded. If the installation script cannot mount a file system, it fails and exits.Solution:
Ensure that all file systems in the system's /etc/vfstab file can be mounted. Comment out any file systems in the /etc/vfstab file that cannot be mounted or that might cause the problem so that the Solaris installation program does not try to mount them during the upgrade. Any system-based file systems that contain software to be upgraded (for example, /usr) cannot be commented out.
The upgrade failsDescription:
The system does not have enough space for the upgrade.Cause:
Check Upgrading With Disk Space Reallocation in Solaris 10 10/08 Installation Guide: Planning for Installation and Upgrade for the space problem and see if you can fix it without using auto-layout to reallocate space.
Problems upgrading RAID–1 volume root (/) file systemsSolution:
If you have problems upgrading when using Solaris Volume Manager RAID-1 volumes that are the root (/) file system, see Chapter 25, Troubleshooting Solaris Volume Manager (Tasks), in Solaris Volume Manager Administration Guide.
The upgrade fails and the system cannot be soft-booted. The failure is for reasons beyond your control, such as a power failure or a network connection failure.
Reboot the system from the Solaris Operating System DVD, the Solaris Software - 1 CD, or from the network.
Choose the upgrade option for installation.
The Solaris installation program determines if the system has been partially upgraded and continues the upgrade.
The following errors can occur when you use Solaris Live Upgrade and the GRUB boot loader on an x86 based system.
ERROR: The media product tools installation directory path-to-installation-directory does not exist.
ERROR: The media dirctory does not contain an operating system upgrade image.Description:
The error messages are seen when using the luupgrade command to upgrade a new boot environment.Cause:
An older version of Solaris Live Upgrade is being used. The Solaris Live Upgrade packages you have installed on your system are incompatible with the media and the release on that media.Solution:
Always use the Solaris Live Upgrade packages from the release you are upgrading to.Example:
In the following example, the error message indicates that the Solaris Live Upgrade packages on the system are not the same version as on the media.
# luupgrade -u -n s10u1 -s /mnt Validating the contents of the media </mnt>. The media is a standard Solaris media. ERROR: The media product tools installation directory </mnt/Solaris_10/Tools/Boot/usr/sbin/install.d/install_config> does not exist. ERROR: The media </mnt> does not contain an operating system upgrade image.
ERROR: Cannot find or is not executable: </sbin/biosdev>.
ERROR: One or more patches required by Solaris Live Upgrade has not been installed.Cause:
One or more patches required by Solaris Live Upgrade are not installed on your system. Beware that this error message does not catch all missing patches.Solution:
Before using Solaris Live Upgrade, always install all the required patches. Ensure that you have the most recently updated patch list by consulting http://sunsolve.sun.com. Search for the info doc 72099 on the SunSolve web site.
ERROR: Device mapping command </sbin/biosdev> failed. Please reboot and try again.Cause:
Reason 1: Solaris Live Upgrade is unable to map devices because of previous administrative tasks.Solution:
Reason 1: Reboot the system and try Solaris Live Upgrade againCause:
Reason 2: If you reboot your system and get the same error message, you have two or more identical disks. The device mapping command is unable to distinguish between them.Solution:
Reason 2: Create a new dummy fdisk partition on one of the disks. See the fdisk(1M) man page. Then reboot the system.
Cannot delete the boot environment that contains the GRUB menuCause:
Solaris Live Upgrade imposes the restriction that a boot environment cannot be deleted if the boot environment contains the GRUB menu.Solution:
Use lumake(1M) or luupgrade(1M) commands to reuse that boot environment.
The file system containing the GRUB menu was accidentally remade. However, the disk has the same slices as before. For example, the disk was not re-sliced.Cause:
The file system that contains the GRUB menu is critical to keeping the system bootable. Solaris Live Upgrade commands do not destroy the GRUB menu. But, if you accidentally remake or otherwise destroy the file system containing the GRUB menu with a command other than a Solaris Live Upgrade command, the recovery software attempts to reinstall the GRUB menu. The recovery software puts the GRUB menu back in the same file system at the next reboot. For example, you might have used the newfs or mkfs commands on the file system and accidentally destroyed the GRUB menu. To restore the GRUB menu correctly, the slice must adhere to the following conditions:
Contain a mountable file system
Remain a part of the same Solaris Live Upgrade boot environment where the slice resided previously
Before rebooting the system, make any necessary corrective actions on the slice.Solution:
Reboot the system. A backup copy of the GRUB menu is automatically installed.
The GRUB menu's menu.lst file was accidentally deleted.Solution:
Reboot the system. A backup copy of the GRUB menu is automatically installed.
When you use Solaris Live Upgrade while upgrading and running Veritas VxVM, the system panics on reboot unless you upgrade by using the following procedure. The problem occurs if packages do not conform to Solaris advanced packaging guidelines.
Become superuser or assume an equivalent role.
Roles contain authorizations and privileged commands. For more information about roles, see Configuring RBAC (Task Map) in System Administration Guide: Security Services.
Create an inactive boot environment. See Creating a New Boot Environment in Solaris 10 10/08 Installation Guide: Solaris Live Upgrade and Upgrade Planning.
Before upgrading the inactive boot environment, you must disable the existing Veritas software on the inactive boot environment.
Mount the inactive boot environment.
# lumount inactive_boot_environment_name mount_point
For example:
# lumount solaris8 /mnt
Change to the directory that contains the vfstab, for example:
# cd /mnt/etc
Make a copy of the inactive boot environment's vfstab file, for example:
# cp vfstab vfstab.501
In the copied vfstab, comment out all Veritas file system entries, for example:
# sed '/vx\/dsk/s/^/#/g' < vfstab > vfstab.novxfs
The first character of each line is changed to #, which makes the line a comment line. Note that this comment line is different than the system file-comment lines.
Copy the changed vfstab file, for example:
# cp vfstab.novxfs vfstab
Change directories to the inactive boot environment's system file, for example:
# cd /mnt/etc
Make a copy of the inactive boot environment's system file, for example:
# cp system system.501
Comment out all "forceload:" entries that include drv/vx.
# sed '/forceload: drv\/vx/s/^/*/' <system> system.novxfs
The first character of each line is changed to *, which makes the line a command line. Note that this comment line is different than the vfstab file comment lines.
Create the Veritas install-db file, for example:
# touch vx/reconfig.d/state.d/install-db
Unmount the inactive boot environment.
# luumount inactive_boot_environment_name
Upgrade the inactive boot environment. See Chapter 5, Upgrading With Solaris Live Upgrade (Tasks), in Solaris 10 10/08 Installation Guide: Solaris Live Upgrade and Upgrade Planning.
Activate the inactive boot environment. See Activating a Boot Environment in Solaris 10 10/08 Installation Guide: Solaris Live Upgrade and Upgrade Planning.
Shut down the system.
# init 0
Boot the inactive boot environment in single-user mode:
OK boot -s
Several messages and error messages that contain "vxvm" or "VXVM" are displayed that can be ignored. The inactive boot environment becomes active.
Upgrade Veritas.
Restore the original vfstab and system files:
# cp /etc/vfstab.original /etc/vfstab # cp /etc/system.original /etc/system
Reboot the system.
# init 6
If you install the Solaris 10 10/08 OS on a system that does not currently include a service or diagnostic partition, the installation program might not create a service partition by default. If you want to include a service partition on the same disk as the Solaris partition, you must re-create the service partition before you install the Solaris 10 10/08 OS.
If you installed the Solaris 8 2/02 OS on a system with a service partition, the installation program might not have preserved the service partition. If you did not manually edit the fdisk boot partition layout to preserve the service partition, the installation program deleted the service partition during the installation.
If you did not specifically preserve the service partition when you installed the Solaris 8 2/02 OS, you might not be able to re-create the service partition and upgrade to the Solaris 10 10/08 OS.
If you want to include a service partition on the disk that contains the Solaris partition, choose one of the following workarounds.
To install the software from a net installation image or from the Solaris Operating System DVD over the network, follow these steps.
Delete the contents of the disk.
Before you install, create the service partition by using the diagnostics CD for your system.
For information about how to create the service partition, see your hardware documentation.
Boot the system from the network.
The Customize fdisk Partitions screen is displayed.
To load the default boot disk partition layout, click Default.
The installation program preserves the service partition and creates the Solaris partition.

Two Couples Bunk Up For 'A Burning Hot Summer'
A Burning Hot Summer
- Director: Philippe Garrel
- Genre: Drama
- Running Time: 95 minutes
Not Rated; sexual situations, nudity, violence
Starring: Monica Bellucci, Louis Garrel, Celine Sallette, Jerome Robart
In French and Italian with subtitles
Lovely people, beautiful places, a suicide attempt and echoes of a French New Wave classic — these ingredients seem to promise lots of passion in A Burning Hot Summer. But this existential-romantic roundelay barely simmers, and certainly doesn't scorch.
Veteran director Philippe Garrel's latest film opens with apparently parallel events: a woman reclines naked, alone in a room, as a man guns his car, heading straight for a tree.
Flashing back to the main narrative reveals that the woman is Angele (Monica Bellucci), an Italian actress, while the man in the car is Frederic (Louis Garrel), a French painter. They're married and live in Rome.
A few minutes later, the film's narrator makes his first appearance on screen. He's Paul (Jerome Robart), who plays bit parts in movies. So does Elisabeth (Celine Sallette), who meets Paul when they appear in a French Resistance drama. Soon, they're living together.
Also soon, Paul and Elisabeth are sharing Frederic and Angele's large apartment. The painter, who seems to be independently wealthy, likes having them around, and the underemployed actors enjoy their hosts — and the free rent.
Too much togetherness can be problem, though, especially when needy Elisabeth begins to fear that Paul is falling for Angele. But couple No. 2's problems are minor compared with the turmoil between Frederic and Angele, both of whom are frequently unfaithful and periodically spiteful.
None of these conflicts has any great urgency, and the film's heady themes — art, fidelity, religion, death, the search for meaning — are merely invoked rather than explored. One oddity is the casting: Bellucci is 18 years older than Louis Garrel, which is unusual enough to rate some comment but doesn't. (The fictional marriage must be a nod to the actor's real-life relationship with actress Valeria Bruni Tedeschi, who is the same age as Bellucci.)
The scenario recalls Jean-Luc Godard's Contempt, another tale of an actress who comes to disdain her husband. Both movies are set in and around the Italian film industry, but Godard had a lot more fun with that fact. Philippe Garrel uses the movie-set vignettes mostly to punctuate the talkier scenes with action, although that French Resistance movie suggests one possible theme: Earlier generations had a sense of purpose lacking in kids today.
For cinephiles who like to connect the dots, A Burning Hot Summer offers links galore. Philippe Garrel is directing his son, and there's a cameo by his father (playing Louis' grandfather).
The youngest Garrel also appeared in his dad's Regular Lovers, the 2005 film that attracted more international attention than any of the director's efforts in decades. It was co-written by Marc Chodolenko, who also helped script this movie, and was set in politically charged 1968 Paris — as was Bernardo Bertolucci's 2002 The Dreamers, which also starred Louis Garrel.
And in A Burning Hot Summer, Paul holds out hope for a 1960s-style "revolution," a dream Frederic dismisses.
One other footnote: The spare score is by John Cale, who has known the older Garrel since the 1970s, when he was producing music by Nico, the director's then-lover and an actress in a half-dozen of his films.
Cale's piano-based music is simple and strong, as are a few moments of unexpected spontaneity: a party where Angele dances vivaciously, and a scene where Frederic and Paul ignore an event behind them as they walk under a Paris viaduct.
But such outbursts are rare in A Burning Hot Summer, a movie whose most apt metaphor is one of Elisabeth's traits: She sleepwalks.

Troy Davis' Last Request
After twenty years of attempts to prove his innocence, Troy Anthony Davis was put to death by the state of Georgia on Wednesday night.
Shortly before his execution, his sister Martina Davis-Correia made an emotional appeal for an end to "the atrocities" that are happening in jails and prisons. (Davis-Correia wrote about her years of effort to win the release of her brother in the "Beyond Prisons" issue of YES! Magazine.)
Crowds of Davis supporters gathered outside the prison in Jackson, Georgia, where the execution took place, outside the White House, and in other cities from Portland, Ore., to Paris. Hundreds of thousands signed petitions, wrote letters, and made phone calls. President Jimmy Carter, Pope Benedict XVI, and Archbishop Desmond Tutu were among those asking for clemency. The twitter hashtags #TroyDavis, #MrDavis, and others related to the case were trending worldwide on Wednesday night as people from around the world waited to see if a person whose guilt is in doubt would be executed.
Troy Davis was declared dead at 11:08 pm EST.
Thomas Ruffin, attorney and witness to the execution, told Democracy Now! that among Davis' last words was a request was for "an end to the madness of capital punishment."

This PDF downloadable mantra wheel was designed by Lama Zopa Rinpoche. In addition to the benefits taught by Lama Zopa Rinpoche below, keeping this mantra within a packet on the body or keeping it in a pocket brings the wearer protection from harm.
Advice from Lama Zopa Rinpoche on this mantra:
"The Namgylma mantra is extremely powerful and is the main mantra to purify and liberate beings from the lower realms, purify negative karma, and help those who are dying or have died by chanting it in their ear or placing it on their body.
For instance, if this mantra is placed on a mountain the entire mountain becomes blessed and any people, animals or insects who touch or climb the mountain are purified of negative karma and liberated from the lower realms. If you hang this mantra as a banner then even the shadow from the banner purifies the negative karma of anyone who comes in contact with it. Similarly, if this mantra is hung in your home, everyone in the house, not only people but all of the animals and insects will be purified of their negative karma and liberated from the lower realms. And it is excellent to have this mantra on your car, on the inside roof, on the passenger side visor, or on the outside of the car. This way, every time someone enters your car they are blessed by the power of this mantra. Also, any animal that touches the car, is killed in an accident, or is run over by the car, including extremely tiny insects that you can't see they are completely purified.
By having this mantra on the car, or house window, then even the shadow will bless sentient beings. The dust, wind, water and rain that touches it with the Namgylma mantra becomes blessed so that any person or animal or insect who comes in contact with the dust, wind, water or rain becomes purified.
I suggest that you give copies of this mantra sticker to other people in your community and explain the benefits of it. We need to print more Namgylma stickers, many different sizes for others to use in the car, home, motorbike, bicycle, etc."

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., May 18 (UPI) -- U.S. scientists say a possible planet 1,500 light-years from Earth is apparently evaporating from the heat of its star, trailing debris like a comet's tail.
The tiny exoplanet, not much larger than Mercury, may completely disintegrate within 100 million years, a blink of an eye in cosmic terms, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and NASA said.
The researchers found the dusty planet circles its parent star every 15 hours -- one of the shortest planet orbits ever observed -- and said such a short orbit must be very close to the star, suggesting the planet could be heated to a temperature of about 3,600 degrees Fahrenheit.
Rocky material at the surface of the planet could melt and evaporate at such high temperatures, giving off both gas and dust into space to form the cloud trailing the planet.
"We think this dust is made up of submicron-sized particles," physics Professor Saul Rappaport said Friday in an MIT release.
"It would be like looking through a Los Angeles smog."
Astronomers using the Kepler satellite typically identify exoplanets by looking for regular dips in a star's brightness as a planet crosses in front of it, but in the case of the star dubbed KIC 12557548, they found its light dropped by different intensities every 15 hours.
That suggested something was blocking the star regularly but by varying degrees, they said, and theorized the varying intensities of light were caused by a somewhat amorphous, shape-shifting body.
"I'm not sure how we came to this epiphany," Rappaport said. "But it had to be something that was fundamentally changing. It was not a solid body, but rather, dust coming off the planet."

Colorado Republicans leave the burbs, head to Mile High on election night
The Colorado Republican Party is practically giddy over its decision to hold its election night party at Mile High stadium — the same venue where four years ago Barack Obama accepted the nomination from the Democratic Party to run as president.
"It's our way to close the loop on the Obama administration," said GOP chairman Ryan Call. "It's going to be glorious, it's going to be fabulous."
Obama is being challenged by Republican Mitt Romney, who has enjoyed a surge of enthusiasm in Colorado since his strong performance at the first presidential debate, held at the University of Denver.
The GOP traditionally has selected a hotel in the Tech Center or south, but went for a club level section of the stadium. The Colorado Democratic Party is holding its election night party at the Sheraton on the 16th Street Mall.

New products for a lubricant-free world
The dry-running polymer bearings save money and increase the safety of machinery. Lubricant and maintenance-free plastic bearings are also environmentally friendly:
Worldwide, more than 50% of lubricants are discharged into the environment. (State of Baden-Württemberg Environmental Protection Agency)
In a global lubricant consumption of 37.3 million tons per year (RWTH Aachen), more than 18 million tons are thus discharged without any safeguards into the environment
Malfunctions due to deficient lubrication cause USD 240 billion in damage in the US alone (MIT)
Germany consumes 1.1 million tons of lubricant per year in metal processing operations, involving the use of various oils to lubricate machinery and machinery elements, as well as hydraulic oils for operating equipment (study by the State of Baden-Württemberg Environmental Protection Agency)

JPMorgan entices millionaires to become landlords
Bloomberg News
JPMorgan Chase is giving its wealthiest clients the chance to invest in the single-family rental market after other investments linked to the U.S. housing recovery jumped in value.
The firm's unit that caters to individuals and families with more than $5 million put client money in a partnership that bought more than 5,000 single family homes to rent in Florida, Arizona, Nevada and California, said David Lyon, a managing director and investment specialist at J.P. Morgan Private Bank. Investors can expect returns of as much as 8 percent annually from rental income as well as part of the profits when the homes are sold, he said.
The bank's wealthy clients are joining a growing number of private-equity firms and individuals buying rental homes in the regions hardest hit by the U.S. housing crash. Blackstone Group has spent $2.7 billion, and said last month it accelerated purchases as home prices rise faster than anticipated. Even after home values in November gained by the most in six years, investors are wagering on rental properties as an alternative to housing-related stocks and mortgage debt that's already soared.
"The traditional places people might look -- homebuilder stocks and appliance makers -- probably aren't the best places for new investments," said John Buckingham, chief investment officer at Al Frank Asset Management in Aliso Viejo, Calif., which oversees about $4.5 billion. "They've had fantastic runs."
PulteGroup, the largest homebuilder by market value, was the biggest gainer on the Standard & Poor's 500 Index last year, rising 188 percent. Whirlpool, a home-appliance maker, was the third-best performing stock in the S&P 500 Index last year, rising 114 percent, and subprime-mortgage bonds gained more than 40 percent.
The investments rallied as the housing recovery strengthened through 2012 with the Federal Reserve pushing mortgage rates to record lows, and as institutional investors increased their purchases of foreclosed homes. Home prices in 20 U.S. cities rose 5.5 percent in November from a year earlier, the most in more than six years, an S&P/Case-Shiller index of property values showed last month.
New York-based JPMorgan, whose private bank oversees $877 billion, started pooling investments from its clients in mid-2012 into a partnership to purchase distressed properties, betting that prices will rise over the next several years and provide investors with income from renters along the way, said Lyon.
The goal is to sell the houses within three to four years in one of three ways: through an initial public offering of a real estate investment trust, a sale to an existing REIT or to an institutional buyer such as a pension fund, Lyon, who's based in San Francisco, said.
The strategy is similar to institutional buyers including Blackstone, the world's largest buyout firm, Thomas Barrack's Colony Capital, and Oaktree Capital Group. They're aiming to profit from low prices on distressed properties, often those in foreclosure and sold at auction -- and the demand for rentals from people who don't want to own a home or can't qualify for a mortgage.
"It's hard to find a private-equity firm on the planet that doesn't have a strategy in this space," Gary Beasley, chief executive officer at Waypoint Homes, said last week at the American Securitization Forum's annual conference in Las Vegas.
Since the 2008 financial crisis, lenders have required higher credit scores and larger down payments to qualify for mortgages. Borrowers whose loans for purchases closed in 2012 had an average credit score of 740, according to data compiled by real estate data service CoreLogic, up from 716 in 2006. That's contributed to a decline in the U.S. home ownership rate to 65.4 percent at the end of 2012 from a peak of 69.2 percent in June 2004, the Commerce Department reported.
Buying single-family homes to rent in some locations has become more attractive to bond investors in the past year as mortgage-backed securities without the backing of the U.S. government have become more expensive, said Sandeep Bordia, head of residential and commercial credit strategy at Barclays.
"If you look at some of the really beaten down areas -- Miami, Orlando, Vegas, Tampa -- we do think the return on that asset, if you just buy a home, collect the rent and do whatever you need to do on the cost side, you're getting a return of somewhere between 6 percent and 8 percent," Bordia said. Non-agency mortgage-backed securities are generally yielding 4 percent to 6 percent, he said.
Jumping into the single-family home market now carries the risk that it's already getting crowded, and the bargains in the best locations are dwindling, said Craig Pastolove, a managing director at New York-based Morgan Stanley.
"There's a lot of capital out there that is chasing these investments," so there may be price inflation, Pastolove said.
While buying single-family homes to rent is among "the smarter ways to invest going forward," Pastolove advises wealthy clients to buy the properties to rent themselves if they are able. Morgan Stanley isn't purchasing homes or managing them; instead it's making loans to high-net-worth customers at rates lower than a typical mortgage, and using their investment portfolios as collateral.
Investors also shouldn't write off companies directly tied to real estate, said Rex Macey, chief investment officer at Wilmington Trust, a unit of M&T Bank. Housing is so intertwined with the economy that many companies directly or indirectly involved will benefit from a continued rebound.
"This is a tide that is going to lift a lot of boats," Macey said.

Colo. produces 7 Olympians in freeskiing, snowboarding
The Denver Post
The U.S. Ski Team is digging deep into Colorado's arsenal of rippers before heading to Sochi.
Coaches for U.S. Freeskiing and U.S. Snowboarding filled their rosters Tuesday. Of the 26 positions on the U.S. Ski Team's Olympic halfpipe, slopestyle, ski cross, moguls and aerials teams, seven hail from Colorado.
Heidi Kloser of Vail will join the four-woman Olympic moguls team led by reigning Olympic champion Hannah Kearney. Kloser said she was trying not to focus on the Olympics in the final three Olympic-qualifying World Cup contests this month.
"I just wanted to ski like I know how to ski and the results would follow," said Kloser, 21. The results did arrive. Kloser's second-place finish at the Jan. 15 World Cup at Lake Placid supercharged her chances for Sochi.
She's going to keep the same strategy heading onto the biggest stage of her career

Change brings nothing new in R-rated comedy
'The Change-Up'Starring: Jason Bateman, Ryan ReynoldsDirector: Dave DobkinRated: R
The appeal of an R-rated comedy is it tends to be geared more to an adult audience (even if a healthy streak of immaturity is needed to truly enjoy it). The downside is once you've seen one, you've pretty much seen them all.
This summer has brought at least four, none of which has fired up audiences like the first "Hangover," although all have had their moments. Those precious moments are harder to find in this latest raunchy comedy. It employs the old "Freaky Friday" premise of taking two friends out of their comfort zones and helping them find their mojo again.
They say to truly understand someone, you must first walk in their shoes. Dave Lockwood's (Jason Bateman) shoes are typical corporate lawyer wingtips to go with his conservative suit. His buddy Mitch (Ryan Reynolds) is strictly a Converse All-Stars guy to go with his wannabe actor free-spirit attitude. Childhood buddies that couldn't be further apart in their stations in life, they set out to have drink and wind up in each other's bodies after making an unfortunate wish while urinating in a fountain.
Suddenly, Mitch, the immature dude who is quite the ladies' man, finds himself in bed next to Jamie (Leslie Mann), Mitch's wife, and guess what. It's his turn to change the twins' diapers. Meanwhile Dave opens his eyes and finds he's in Mitch's "Hoarders: The Early Years" apartment, which is eclectic to put it politely. Now, until they can figure out how to get their lives back, they'll be forced to carry on as each other.
Of course, for each this means examining what their lives could have been like. Dave chose to pursue an Ivy League education and law school and his hard work is paying off because he's just about to make partner if Mitch doesn't screw up the merger deal he's toiling over. Mitch is a slacker with commitment issues and a few commercials and walk-ons on his resume, but frankly he works harder at bedding women than he does at his career.
Dave Dobkin, who also brought us "The Wedding Crashers" (2005), directs from a script by Jon Lucas and Scott Moore that relies heavily on F-bombs, and the "F" doesn't stand for funny. It's way too easy with an R-rating to fall back on four-letter words and nudity. Unfortunately, that's the case here: too much of both. To some degree it adds realism to the proceedings, but all too often it's the main way to get laughs out of a weak script.
To their credit, Bateman and Reynolds try to rise above the juvenile high jinks and dialog. The switcheroo comedy depends on the ability of the actors to mimic each other, and they have just enough of each other's mannerisms down to make it believable.
Mann and Olivia Wilde as Sabrina, one of Dave's co-workers, are both good sports since much of the script calls for them to be topless. When they aren't topless, male characters talk incessantly about how they wish they were. Welcome to the typical guy comedy.
Here's an idea — next time have the guys switch places with the ladies so they can experience sexual harassment and objectification. Oh, wait, that's been done before, too. So much for the "Change-Up."

Hurricane Irene was difficult to escape, even with forced evacuations. From the wide-spread media coverage and weathermen standing in soaked rain jackets by the beach, everyone saw the hurricane this past weekend. Those on the North Carolina Coast all the way to Vermont experienced extremely severe weather. The hurricane caused massive power outages and flooding all along the eastern seaboard. Many places are still without electricity and running water. North Carolina's governor, Bev Perdue stated in a press release Tuesday,
"Thousands of North Carolinians are still reeling from the devastation caused by Hurricane Irene, but we're all pulling together to get things back to normal. For people who want to help, we've established the North Carolina Disaster Relief Fund."
Money from the North Carolina Disaster Relief fund will go towards the rebuilding of homes and other volunteer efforts in the state of North Carolina. You can visit the website here: North Carolina Disaster Relief
If you would like to help in other effected cities of the United States, organizations such as the American Red Cross and AMERICARES are also offering assistance. While this hurricane was not as devastating as originally expected, homes still need to be rebuilt and people need your help. The Humane Society is also helping in hard hit areas such as North Carolina and Vermont. The Director of the Humane Society of North Carolina said today,
""It takes a couple of days for the animals to really come out of their hiding places. And so, two, three, four days down the road, all of the sudden you find that there's animals walking through the neighborhood."

I have my company's Google Calendar
and I want to merge these two together but we share our company's Calendar inside the company, so I want to make sure that nobody can read my personal Calendar.
Is that possible to do something like that?

Melissa Febos writes about crying in public in NYC…as well as other private things that people do in public here.
One afternoon, I was riding a Brooklyn-bound Q train with my mother, who was visiting from Cape Cod, when our conversation lulled. We each glanced around the subway car at the other passengers, their heads bobbing in unison, the eyes of the man across from us doing a creepy back-and-forth twitch as he watched a train whizzing by in the opposite direction behind us. Some people read, or pushed buttons on their smart phones, but most just stared without expression at the floor or the garish overhead posters for Dr. Zizmor's cosmetic dermatology. My mother (who is, notably, a psychotherapist) leaned into my shoulder and whispered, "Everyone on this train looks depressed."
I snorted, whispering back: "No, Mom, they just have their train-faces on." In a place where we are so rarely alone, we find privacy in public.
The "privacy in public" thing is essential in understanding New York.

Customer Reviews
Great idea, and easy to use. However; the polish chips off within hours of applying it. Very frustrating, and defeats the whole purpose of the purchase.
Bev Sargent
Bought it on sale at Walmart. I thought at least if it didn't work I didn't spend a fortune. It worked perfectly! A thin coat cures fully in 30 seconds. Very simple to use. Hope they come out with more colours.
Fuse Gelnamel is a very intelligently made compact gelnail kit, I was very pleased with the outcome at first, but the next day, the polish started to chip off to the point of being able to scrape it off with finger nails. I would just like to stress to the people who are interested in this product or have the product, it is EXTREMELY important to do a thin coat, I did two coats at first (which says it is ok in the leaflet) and then because the polish started to chip off, 2 days later I decided to touch up, with a slight burning sensation from the led light, and now my index finger tips have been burnt a little bit. So make sure that the instructions are followed religiously. Overall, the product does what it says, but in my experience, doesn't stay on as well as I thought it would, but give it a go if you are wanting a gel nail finish in the comfort of your own home.

Court defies Apple demand to ban Samsung tablet
Prior art to invalidate Apple patent
The Munich Regional Court has chucked out an Apple request to impose a ban on the sale of Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1N tablet and on the South Korean giant's Galaxy Nexus smartphone.
The court decided that the Apple-owned patent on which the Mac maker had pegged its allegation that the Samsung kit infringes its intellectual property will be torn up.
Apple's patent, which covers tablet and phone touchscreens, was awarded last year. But Samsung maintains that the technology the patent seeks to protect was widely used long before Apple bosses filled in the patent application form.
The Galaxy Tab 10.1N was introduced in Germany in November 2011 to sidestep a court-imposed ban on the Galaxy Tab 10.1. Yesterday, the Dusseldorf Regional Court threw out Samsung's appeal against the original injunction. ®

More Photos from Tempe
Back from Tempe, and I'm quite well toasted, thank you for asking.
I'll work on videos today. Meanwhile, enjoy some photos from yesterday's twinbill.
If you don't see a loved one — or if you're a player, photos of yourself — please be patient. I have a lot more than what you see here. They'll be on FutureAngels.com eventually in the Digital Photo Gallery.
Alexi Amarista is listed at 5'6″ 150 lbs. on the roster. He played right field in the first game and second base in the second game.
Nick Farnsworth was the Angels' 9th round draft pick in June.
Manuel Flores started Game #1 and struck out seven in 5 1/3 innings.
Josh Davies began his career as an Angel, signed out of Australia as an infielder. After he was released, the Padres signed him and converted him into a pitcher. Click Here to watch video I filmed in August 2004 of his first pro homer.
Outfielder Chris Fox might have the nickname "Pigpen" after this game. He ended the day with a .326 batting average.
Tyler Chatwood started Game #2. He was the Angels' top draft pick in June; his "plus" curve was as advertised. (Video to follow.)
Lefty Kevin Ferguson relieved in the 6th inning of Game #2. This is one of my favorite "trick" shots, through the chain-link backstop. The 400mm lens pretty much washes out the chain link, and in glare like the batter's helmet it will create a diamond effect. The trick is to get just the right angle to capture pitcher, batter, ball and umpire.
Catcher David Golliner is about to throw the ball after the umpire called a third strike.
Nolan Brannon is listed on the roster as a catcher, but he played third base in Game #2. He's taking an aggressive lead off second base in this photo.

HyperDrive: Thunderbolt 3 USB-C Hub for 2016 MacBook Pro
Hands-on video review by 9to5mac.com and other press coverage below:
Real life tested by 9to5mac.com
Marques Brownlee (MKBHD) YouTube Review
HyperDrive "fits the MacBook Pro aesthetics pretty well. It comes in the right colors. This can likely solve the biggest problem we have with the MacBook Pro port situation"
$1M stretch goal unlocked - ALL pledges made before $1M mark will get FREE upgrade to February 2017 delivery
$750K stretch goal unlocked! - ALL pledges made before $750K mark will get FREE upgrade to February 2017 delivery
Unlocked $500K stretch goal! Free leather pouch for all!
So you got your new 2016 MacBook Pro
Only to realize that it has the new Thunderbolt 3 USB-C ports that doesn't work with any of your current devices
You would practically need a dongle for everything!
Introducing HyperDrive
The world's most compact & fastest Thunderbolt 3 USB-C hub
Unlike most USB-C dongles which still run on slow USB 3.0 (5Gb/s) speed, HyperDrive is 10X faster (50Gb/s) by using not one but two Thunderbolt 3 USB-C connections. Other Thunderbolt 3 docks are as big as a brick and nowhere as portable as the HyperDrive.
The 1st hub designed specifically for the 2016 MacBook Pro
HyperDrive is the first and only hub designed to tap into two Thunderbolt 3 USB-C ports on the MacBook Pro for maximum bandwidth, to deliver more ports in the smallest footprint.
Regain virtually all ports from the previous MacBook Pro model
With HyperDrive, you get the most commonly used ports, found in preceding 2015 MacBook Pro model. This is the adapter Apple should have provided with every 2016 MacBook Pro.
More bandwidth (50Gb/s) than any USB-C dongle in the market
Many 5Gb/s dongles have multiple ports that cannot be reliably used at the same time because of speed and bandwidth limitations. Only HyperDrive has the high 50Gb/s speed and bandwidth required for all 7 ports to be used simultaneously.
Simultaneously connect HDMI, Thunderbolt 3, USB-C, microSD, SD, 2 x USB 3.1. All while charging at full speed thru HyperDrive
Connect both 4K HDMI and Thunderbolt 3 (e.g. LG UltraFine 5K) Displays at the same time.
The Thunderbolt 3 port on HyperDrive supports up to 100W power delivery. This means you can charge your MacBook Pro at full speed through HyperDrive while using it, delivering the maximum 61W power to the 13" MacBook Pro and 87W to the 15" MacBook Pro.
Replace all other dongles with HyperDrive
Compared to other dongles in the market and from the Apple Store, HyperDrive is more portable, has more features and is made of better materials. You would need multiple dongles to achieve what HyperDrive does, at a total cost much higher than HyperDrive.
Stop figuring out how to store and carry your dongles
Having multiple dongles means that you now have more items to manage on top of your MacBook Pro, which increases the risk of misplacing them as you move around.
With HyperDrive, just pack and go
HyperDrive is designed to be compact enough to stay with your MacBook Pro wherever you go
Don't look silly with dongles. Just go with HyperDrive!
Stop hanging and juggling with multiple dongles. A single compact HyperDrive does the job of multiple dongles. Dongles never look sleeker than this.
Stop wasting time plugging dongle after dongle
Imagine all the dongles you would have to connect whenever you set your MacBook Pro down on the desk at home or at work.
HyperDrive gets you up and running in no time
Idea: Keep a HyperDrive already connected to all your devices at home or work and simply make a single, quick and easy HyperDrive connection whenever your MacBook Pro is at the desk. HyperDrive supports hot swapping/plugging so a single HyperDrive connection would instantly connect all devices already connected to the HyperDrive.
CNC precision milled aluminum enclosure color matched to silver and space gray MacBook Pro
The same HyperDrive works with both 13" and 15" MacBook Pro
And because Thunderbolt 3 USB-C connectors are reversible, you can flip HyperDrive around and use on the right or either side of the MacBook Pro.
We designed HyperDrive to feel like a natural extension of the 2016 MacBook Pro with similar product lines, thickness, right angled edges and rounded corners.
HyperDrive is made of CNC precision milled aluminum available in both Space Gray and Silver to match the color and appearance of the MacBook Pro.
We also wanted an adapter hub that users can leave on their MacBook Pro as they move around. As such we did away with connector cables and have HyperDrive connect right next and flushed to the MacBook Pro.
For stability, HyperDrive connects to the MacBook Pro with not one by two Thunderbolt 3 USB-C ports. Having two input ports also allow us to provide more speed and bandwidth (50Gb/s) to HyperDrive, allowing it to provide as many ports (7 in total, all of which can be used simultaneously) in the tiniest of spaces.
We decided to go with popular output ports (HDMI, SD, microSD, 2 x USB 3.1 Gen 1) found in the previous MacBook Pro model. Although HyperDrive takes up two Thunderbolt 3 USB-C ports on the MacBook Pro, it also returns a USB-C and Thunderbolt 3 port as well, which supports up to 100W power delivery pass through charging through HyperDrive.
Ultra Low Power Consumption Design (so we won't drain your MacBook Pro battery like other dongles do)
Every component in HyperDrive (hub, card reader, DC/DC converter, power delivery, Thunderbolt 3 chipset) utilizes industry leading low power consumption technologies. The end result is a power efficiency of up to 96% and device operating temperature of less than 48ºC / 118ºF. Despite its many features, HyperDrive will consume much less power than other dongles, leaving more power for your MacBook Pro.
Proof of Concept
The following video demonstrates a fully functional pre-production HyperDrive with all ports working (HDMI display, Thunderbolt 3 power delivery, USB-C data, SD, microSD, USB flash drive & hard drive). HyperDrive is plug-n-play and interfaces directly with Mac OS. Plugging devices into HyperDrive is like plugging directly to the MacBook. Video displays are controlled by Mac OS System Preferences > Displays. Power delivery by Mac OS System Preferences > Energy Saver. External storage are controlled by Mac OS Finder.
- HDMI supporting 1080p@60Hz, 4K@30Hz

The Facebook bump
If campaigns were won and lost by the number of Facebook fans a candidate recruits, Senator Scott Brown would have defeated Elizabeth Warren on Tuesday: 370,536 fans to 316,312. But instead Warren pulled out a narrow victory at the polls.
While Brown had more Facebook fans than Warren, Warren's campaign did a superior job of engaging her fan base. On Election Day, 32 percent of Warren's social network – over 100,000 fans — were liking, commenting, and sharing news about her campaign on Facebook. Brown, on the other hand, engaged just 12 percent of his network or about 45,000 people. Did Warren's savvy social media skills give her a Facebook bump that helped to propel her to victory? What impact did Facebook have on other competitive Senate and House races across the country?
Story Continued Below
Social media has finally come of age in America. Over 150 million adults in the U.S. are now registered Facebook users. Each month, the average American spends about 7 hours and forty-five minutes on social media which makes up about twenty-two percent of the total time Americans spend online. During the 2010 election, political scientist James Fowler demonstrated the political power of Facebook. He helped to deliver and track 61 million get-out-the-vote messages that increased voter turnout by an estimated 340,000. This year, almost every serious candidate for federal office invested in a Facebook page and strategy.
To measure the impact of Facebook on election outcomes in 2012, we analyzed the relationship between fan base and fan engagement in thirty-three of the most competitive House races and all thirty-three Senate races over a three-month period. The initial results of our study are compelling: candidates with the skills to engage supporters enjoyed a Facebook bump on Election Day.
Eight out of nine Senate races considered to be toss ups this year were won by the candidate with the more engaged Facebook fan base. In the North Dakota, Wisconsin, and Nevada Senate races, where the major party candidates had comparable fan networks, the candidate with the more engaged fan base won. Senate campaigns in Virginia, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Indiana were also won by those candidates with the most engaged Facebook fan base even though their bases were smaller than their opponents. For example, in Virginia, Tim Kaine's fan base was one half the size of George Allen's, but Kaine's base was 4.5 times more active and engaged. And in Montana, Senator Jon Tester won the trifecta: he enjoyed a larger and more engaged Facebook fan base than his opponent and won re-election. Only in the Arizona Senate race did a more engaged fan base fail to correlate with victory on Election Day.
