A cynical look at medical research
By nature, I am a sarcastic and somewhat distrustful cynic.
As horrible as it may make me sound, I can't help sometimes but wonder if this current H1N1/Swine Flu scare wasn't contrived as a scam to get the nation under governmental control with a mock pandemic so that we'd all look to the kind & benevolent hand of Uncle Sugar to save us. Sure, they released just enough virus into the cities to kill off enough people to make it believable without getting so outta control that it killed us all off.
Plus, a pandemic makes a great cover; it distracts the populace while you do other, more nefarious and darker things, like subverting democracy into socialism.
So I looked back into my archives and found something I wrote very, very early in my bloggery and decided to share it again, as I really don't think a single damned person read it when I first wrote it in 2005....
I'm sure you've seen the commercials by now; the ones that advertise some new wonder drug that will make your life so much better. What amuses me is that most of these commercials don't even tell you what malady this prescription treats. Note that I said TREAT and not CURE. We don't cure anything anymore. We merely treat, but I'll get to that later.
These wonderfully artsy commercials and print ads, with pastel colors and animation galore, are so entrancing that you almost wish you had whatever disease it treats just so you can be the first on your block to be taking the drug. And then some tiny little voice comes on at a million miles an hour and whispers about the side effects, hoping you won't hear them.
Ah, yes, the Side Effects. Or, as they call them,"Certain Side Effects". They say them so fast as an obligatory legal disclaimer that you almost miss them. But once you hear what these effects are, you begin to wonder if the treatment isn't actually worse than the disease. No, thanks, I'll take the heartburn. A little acid in my stomach has to be better than nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and insomnia.
Here's a little REALITY in advertising:
Overweight? Underweight? Tired? Can't Sleep? In pain? Feeling too peppy?
Try new DAMITOL!!! Made from a special all-natural sucrose polymer, DAMITOL may not be for everyone. Consult your doctor. Do not take DAMITOL if you are pregnant, nursing, may become pregnant, have ever been pregnant, ever thought about being pregnant, are the product of a pregnancy, or know someone who has ever been, will be, or thought about being pregnant. In tests, certain side effects occurred such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, rectal bleeding, pus-like discharge from the eyes, spontaneous abortions, and certain sexual side effects such as festering sores comparable to genital warts and an inability to achieve orgasm ever again. Discontinue use if symptoms persist. DAMITOL…when you absolutely have to take SOMETHING…
Yeah, the treatment is worse than the disease, because as I said earlier, we don't CURE things anymore. The last disease we cured was Polio, in the 1940's. We can send a man to the moon (although not in the last 30 years), we can make hand-held jukeboxes to hold 10,000 downloaded bootleg songs, we have cellular phones with email and cameras, we can pause and rewind live television, and we can pay for groceries with a thumbprint, but with all the billions of dollars in research that goes on daily, the last thing mankind cured was polio?
That's because there's no money in cures. All the money is in research and sexy drug treatments. They probably found a cure for cancer in 1960 while dreaming up a new biological warfare agent to kill communism but held onto the secret formula.
Every year,Jerry Lewis raises tens of millions of dollars for Muscular Dystrophy. Go look up the telethon on Wikipedia & see the tote board results, and then factor in the other worldwide MDA telethons....still no cure. Billions and billions in cancer research, and hundreds of products with a pink ribbon on them claiming to send proceeds to breast cancer research, and yet still no cure. But they sell an awful lot of pink-ribboned stuff to stimulate the economy...
How many people would go broke if the research labs and drug companies closed shop? Hell, they'd have to engineer a whole NEW disease to treat after that, just to keep the machine working. You know, we never even cured the really nasty diseases of old like typhoid. Instead, we quit drinking the water we crap in, and we started bathing regularly. That, and not a telethon or a typhoid-awareness ribbon, stopped the typhoid epidemics. Small pox wasn't cured; it was just forgotten about once we joined the electronic age. If some dirtbag in a cave in Afghanistan gets the idea to set loose some smallpox in New York, they'd kill millions. But we don't inoculate for it anymore…it wasn't sexy enough I guess. Maybe we'd need a cool animated commercial for Poxitol!
Yeah, I'm cynical. Yeah, I'm sarcastic. Someone has to be.
And now I've got you thinking.

first off, the guy at the top needs to go see someone about that nasty skin condition. surely, there has got to be something topical that could help. next we are thinking the same way yet again. if the government invented crack to- "enslave and kill intercity blacks", why not swine flu for the rest of us? sorta odd how the economy shit the bed, health care went tits up, and health scare all happened at the same time, with a george soros backed socialist candidate in office.

OMG--how funny is that last picture!!! I sent it to my eldest--he has the swine flu now, but it has not affected his sense of humor, so he'll get a kick out of it. And it's not too bad, really. I guess if you are very unlucky you can be in big trouble, but I've read so many articles about this strain being on par with other flues in terms of severity, and I think they are correct about that.
Did you hear this--on CNN today, they said 2200 kids nationwide were absent from school Monday, and Wednesday that number shot up to either 45 or 65 THOUSAND--I can't remember exactly, which doesn't matter because it was on CNN which means it was probably made up anyway, ha ha. It does sort of make a vaccine useless, though. It'll be interesting to see how they spin the "need" for it now.
Very interesting point about cures versus treatments. Never thought about that. Very perspicacious. Applied inactivity can be extremely thought provoking.

I'm convinced they've found several cures ... but there's no money in cures. Plus it's a good way to kill off the weak, right?
Not taking any H1N1 vacs either! They rushed it and have absolutely NO IDEA what the long term effects are going to be.
We've become lab rats ...

The development of the American identity comes all the way from 1770. The identity developed came from various ends and experiences. The settlers on the frontier passed through significant developments and changes to achieve the Americans American identity. These factors are discussed by various writers in different writings. One of the major causes of the creation of identity is depicted by insecurity. The Johnson plight indicates clearly the source of identity that in the long run shaped current American identity.

In Johnson's plight, the captivity of the family made them to interlock with different cultures of the French and the British. Lobbying for opportunity made the contact between the different cultures more specific. Critics of the fact that the captivity created the identity argue that the number captured is very small. Apart from Johnson's, the number of Anglo American taken as prisoners of war is far less. The Indian attack mentioned did not capture many of the locals. They do not exceed 1500 people as the attack is feared.
The capture of Johnson family created a sweep of fear and thought of lack of security. The authority decided to add more soldiers on the southern frontier. The experience of Johnson's under the arms of the enemy come as an asset to them. Although the agony is harsh in prison, the Johnson's learnt different languages and cultural adaptability. The experience acted to distort the culture of the country of origin. In general, cultural influence on the people of America determined their identity in the following years. The experience of Johnson's shows how the culture of Anglo Americans was brittle and porous to external aggression. This is confirmed by the changes that took effect after the captured Americans were released.

Strongblade Lore
(A Bit of History According to Strongblade)
You want to pick a fight with someone? Tell them their grandfather wore dresses. The funny thing (besides the whole male-wearing-a-dress joke) is that you probably won't be lying.
Some of you are probably nodding your head and smiling, realizing that I am speaking of that period of time when Breeching of boys was a common occurrence. Others of you are fidgeting uncomfortably and remembering those pictures of grandpa wearing that negligee and eight ounces of eye makeup.
Breeching was the hysterical (and historical) custom of watching your son get fitted with his first pair of pants. Hysterical because until that precise moment, your son wore dresses for all of his life. No, it's not some weird sub-meaning of the word dress. No, the word dress didn't once mean something else. Not long ago, sons wore dresses until they were about 6 or 7 years old. Flowery, lacy, flowing, beautiful, J. Edgar Hoover dresses. Talk about un-seamly.
Breeching was a ceremony held for a son, a rite of passage so to speak, when they moved from gay, cross-dressing toddler to heterosexual, sword-wearing boy. (editor's note: Our writer is a gay cross-dresser, so he means no insult by this) (Writer's note: No, I'm not).
The ceremony was elaborate, with many of the boy's relatives and friends there to watch it (and you thought having a horde of people sing Happy Birthday to you was embarrassing). The boy would give up his dresses for good and put on his first pair of breeches. He would often get a ceremonial sword to strap on too, just to make sure he understood that he was a man now and was supposed to kill things.

Vardy to stay at Leicester after agreeing to new contract
Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy has signed a new four-year contract with the Premier League champions, ending speculation linking him with a move to Arsenal.
MORE: Smell of injustice: Swedish player cops farting red | Video: Portugal play out six-goal thriller with Hungary
The England international reportedly had a £20million release clause in his contract that was met by Arsene Wenger's side earlier this month, but wanted to focus Euro 2016 as he took time to consider his domestic future.
Wenger suggested last week that Arsenal were likely to miss out on the player's signature after Leicester made a strong push to keep him and that has now been confirmed with Vardy, 29, agreeing new terms at the King Power Stadium.
Vardy was already under contract until 2019 in a deal signed last February, with his lucrative new deal extending that by a further year to 2020.
A statement on the club's official website confirmed: "Leicester City have agreed with the representatives of Jamie Vardy to extend the England international's contract with the Premier League champions for a further four years.
"Both parties hope that this announcement will end recent speculation regarding Jamie's future and confirm his long term commitment to Leicester City.
"Jamie will continue to focus all of his efforts on trying to achieve success with the England team at the European Championships in France.
"There will be no further comment from either the club or the player on this matter until the conclusion of the tournament."
Vardy scored 24 Premier League goals last season as Leicester shocked the world with a title success that ensured they will play in the Champions League in the coming season.
Leicester will hope that Vardy's commitment will persuade their other in-demand stars such as N'Golo Kante and Riyad Mahrez to remain with them for the new campaign.

Perhaps you constantly crave sweets and sugars andyour willpower is not working? You are not alone inthis very common phenomenon of the 21st century wherebyour nutrition has become a science. And with so muchinformation overload about what is right and what iswrong, most people are confused and even overwhelmed.
As a nutritionist, the questions I most often get askedare, "How can I have more energy?" "Whatshould I be eating?" and "What is my idealbreakfast, lunch and dinner?" In each case, itdepends on who is doing the eating and their metabolicprofile.
This nutritional approach is based on individual biochemistryor your Metabolic Typing.
What is Metabolic Typing?
Metabolic Typing (MT) is unique as it doesn't promoteone right diet for all. Instead, its primary goal isto identify your biochemical individuality before nutritionalrecommendations are made.
Metabolic Typing is based on the fact that we are allunique, so totally individual that not even identicaltwins share the same fingerprints. Each of us is alsobiochemically, and thus, metabolically unique. For thisreason, food will behave differently, having differenteffects in different metabolic types. It's only logicalthat dietary recommendations will vary greatly froma protein type to a carbohydrate type individual.
For this reason it makes sense to identify your metabolicprofile and take the guesswork out of finding your idealnutrition for life.
This extract from an article by Nina Planck titled"Death by Veganism" (http://www.soyonlineservice.co.nz/articles/veganism.htmNew York Times; May 21 2007) gives an extreme exampleof the dangers of diagnostic nutritional approachesthat people impose upon others.
"When Crown Shakur died of starvation, he was sixweeks old and weighed 3.5 pounds. His vegan parents,who fed him mainly soy milk and apple juice, were convictedin Atlanta recently of murder, involuntary manslaughterand cruelty. This particular calamity - at least thethird such conviction of vegan parents in four years- may be largely due to ignorance. But it should promptfrank discussion about nutrition."
Indeed, and this article is not intended to criticiseveganism or any other diet for that matter. The emphasishere is on our biochemical individuality as a startingpoint in identifying what is right for us and what isnot. MT is very different because it simply confirmsthat what works well for one person - in terms of nutrition/supplements- can be completely ineffective or even harmful foranother. So the only so called "right nutrition"is the one that is based on your biochemical or metabolicprofile.
As Lucretius (c 99 BCE-c 55 BCE) summed it up eloquently:"What is food to one man may be fierce poison toothers."
The History of Metabolic Typing
What is interesting about this approach is that itis not a trend, a fad nor a diet based on one studyor experiment from one authority. Rather, it is a customisedsystem of nutrition put together as a result of over70 years of cumulative efforts and pioneering discoveriesby a series of doctors, researchers, physicians, biochemists,clinical nutritionists, dentists and psychologists.These contributors include Drs George Watson, WilliamDonald Kelley, Royal Lee, Weston Price of Weston PriceFoundation, and Roger Williams, all of whom were giantsin their respective fields, yet their contribution toMetabolic Typing was mainly ignored by the mainstreammedical and nutritional community.
As just one example, Dr Roger Williams, a professorat the University of Texas from 1939 to 1986, discoveredPantothenic Acid (Vitamin B 5), the stress vitamin,in 1933. He noticed that when, during a medical procedure,he was injected with morphine, instead of feeling drowsyas expected, his mind became quite racy. The doctorsgave him more morphine to sedate him, but Williams'mind became even racier. As a medical professor, Williamsdid not accept this episode as idiosyncratic. Instead,he put it down to "biochemical individuality",which became the title of his 1956 book that was largelyignored by his medical peers at the time.
Another significant contribution to Metabolic Typingcame from Dr William Kelley in the late 1960s. Diagnosedwith aggressive pancreatic cancer, Dr Kelley adheredto a vegetarian diet, including lots of enzymes/minerals,and adopted a more holistic lifestyle. At the time,Western medicine had no means of treating this typeof aggressive cancer. Fortunately for Dr Kelley, hecured himself and, soon after, stopped seeing patientsin his prominent dental practice and instead becamea highly sought after nutritional authority.
Some time later, his wife became extremely ill afterbeing exposed to toxic paint fumes and was literallywithering away despite her husband's efforts to saveher. Dr Kelley tried everything on his wife that hadseemed to work for him, with no positive results.
In his futility he asked himself, "What have Inot tried with her yet?" The answer astounded him.Meat! For someone who advocated and lectured on vegetarianism,he was open minded, or maybe desperate enough, to tryanything in order to save his ailing wife.
After sipping on some organic beef broth, Mrs Kelleysat up in bed within 24 hours after being almost comatose.This was the sign Dr Kelley had hoped for and he continuedto feed his wife small strips of organic beef. Withinjust a few days, she was well on her way towards recovery.
The Kelley's story ended on a happy note, as well asproviding a significant scientific contribution to MetabolicTyping, because Dr Kelley had discovered the importanceof autonomic types in nutrition, based on the AutonomicNervous System.
What is the Autonomic Nervous System type?
The Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) is the master switchof your metabolism. It is divided into two branches:the Sympathetic and the Parasympathetic. Each branchworks in opposition to the other, yet they work togetherto maintain metabolic balance and efficiency.
Your Sympathetic branch speeds up your heart rate soyou can run away from a dinosaur and other dangeroussituations, while the Parasympathetic branch slows downyour heart rate, so you can enjoy that candlelight dinnerand savour the experience.
As an example, Dr Kelley was a Sympathetic type andcould benefit from a more vegetarian diet, whereas hiswife was a Parasympathetic protein type and needed redmeat and animal protein daily for health and longevity.
Isn't animal protein too acidic?
This leads the metabolic typing discussion into oneof the most misunderstood topics in the area of nutritionto date, the Acid/Alkaline myth.
Many nutrition books, articles and authorities todate advocate a diet based on 20/80 Acid/Alkaline intakeof foods. Put simply, this translates into avoidingacidic foods such as meat, cheese, eggs, and fish andincreasing alkaline foods, like vegetables, fruits andjuices. This approach does not apply to everyone andwill lead to severe metabolic imbalances in some metabolicprofiles. Let's examine why.
The "assumptions" that animal protein causespeople to become more acidic and vegetables more alkalinewere scientifically shattered by Dr Rudolph A Wiley.In his book "Biobalance", Wiley concludesthat some people become more alkaline after eating meatand more acidic after eating vegetables.
The ongoing misunderstanding related to acid/alkalineis probably due to the fact that most books do not addressour unique biochemistry as the factor that determineswhat happens to food in our body. It is really importantto understand the fact that any food - meat or vegetables- can cause different reactions in different metabolictypes. Either meat or vegetables can shift a person'spH levels towards acid or alkaline depending on themetabolic type of the person, not the food itself.
For example, John, a carbohydrate type, and Mary, aprotein type, eat the same tomato/ cucumber salad withlemon juice dressing for lunch. Soon after eating it,John's metabolic profile shifts alkaline, while Mary'sshifts towards acid. This is what Metabolic Typing helpsyou to understand, that any food can have the oppositeeffect in different metabolic types.
In his groundbreaking book, "The Metabolic TypingDiet", Bill Wolcott, universally recognised asthe authority in developing the concept of MetabolicTyping, explains the acid/alkaline connection further.Wolcott was Dr Kelley's researcher for many years andwas thus able to put the final link of the nutritionalpuzzle together by identifying what is called the "dominantfactor" of your metabolic profile.
In identifying your "dominant factor", thissystem allows you to balance your complete metabolicprofile. This factor is the key to understanding yourbiochemical weaknesses, and how to use food to balancethese weaknesses. This does not happen overnight, butit does happen over time.
Another important reason for knowing your "dominantfactor" is that when it is nutritionally balanced,the other fundamental biochemical systems will balancein turn, over a period of time. Yet, if your "dominantfactor" is not biochemically addressed, your bodyand brain chemistry will be out balance, resulting insymptoms such as tiredness, sweet/sugar cravings, fogginessand feeling mentally scattered. This is because everythingwe eat and drink affects our brain chemistry.
How many types are there?
There are three distinct categories, Protein, Carband Mixed, and they each have three possible types withineach category, making nine possible combinations. Wehave room here for a brief outline.
"Protein types" are very sensitive to carbohydratesand require specific protein requirement daily, especiallyat breakfast. Cereal for brekky will not work for thesepeople as it literally turns them into a "fat factory"or Insulin Resistant. Hence, the obesity epidemic.
"Carb types" normally feel best when 50 percent of their diet comes from vegetables and very leansources of protein. They need to be careful with theamount of fat and sugars in their diet as somethinglike nuts could slow them down and make them feel heavy.
Some Carb types benefit greatly from a little vegetablejuice first thing before their meals to get their digestiongoing. This is not your typical apple, celery and carrotor beetroot, more like cucumber/tomato or zucchini/tomato.Please note, that if a classic protein type followedthis nutritional plan they would become acidic or feelravenously hungry, even shaky, with strong cravingsfor salty and or fatty foods.
"Mixed types" really need to eat like a proteinand carb type combined, as they can vacillate betweenthe two groups and shift out of biochemical balanceif their diet is not broad enough.
For each person and metabolic profile, the typicalnutritional recommendations go into more specificationsand finetuning over time and the above basic outlineis a starting point to give you an idea of how differentwe really are even at a glance.
In summary, we are all biochemically unique and forthis reason there cannot be just one diet that wouldsuit everyone. Identifying your metabolic type takesthe guesswork out of searching for the "right nutritionalplan" for life. In essence, this becomes your biochemicalplatform upon which optimum health and longevity isbuilt.

In the Democratic primary to take on Rep. John Faso of Kinderhook, for a seat that is one of the party's top targets this November, the candidates have made gun-control legislation a major issue in the wake of the Parkland school shooting.
Among the vocal candidates on the issue is Democrat Brian Flynn, a businessman who criticized Faso for saying his "prayers" were with the Parkland victims after the tragedy. Flynn is calling for "enhanced background checks" and policies making it much more difficult for civilians "to get their hands on these weapons of war."
In a 2004 essay written by Flynn in the Harvard Business Review, however, he states that while serving as president of a Manhattan-based public relations firm called RLM, he encouraged staff to try to sign the National Rifle Association (NRA) as a client. The NRA is an organization staunchly opposed by gun-control advocates due to the political power it exerts in stopping gun-control measures.
"When clients questioned RLM's political orientation, we told them: 'You hire us for our communications skills, not our politics, so our personal positions are of little consequence,'" Flynn wrote in the 2004 essay. "That said, we also worked hard to recruit clients from across the political spectrum. While our Washington, D.C., office was largely liberal, we had quite a few Republican employees and clients in Los Angeles, and I encouraged the staff to pursue a contract with the NRA to help balance our work with a gun-control group."
The general theme of Flynn's essay was that he liked to encourage office debate about politics, but that clients could be sensitive about such matters. In the essay, Flynn was responding to a hypothetical situation about politics in the workplace that had been raised by the Harvard Business Review.
In an email to the Times Union, Flynn said that his employees at RLM had never actually tried to sign the NRA as a client, and that the conversation with an employee about the situation was "hypothetical."
"At the time the company for whom I worked, RLM, had almost exclusively left leaning, liberal clients – including a gun control advocacy group called The Center to Prevent Youth Violence. An employee – who was both a Republican and a gun owner – came to me with concerns that the company's client portfolio was 'politically' imbalanced and too far to the left – a reflection of my own personal politics and that of many of our co-workers," Flynn said via email. "This was in direct contrast to the company's ethos as cited in the HBR article you referenced. When clients questioned RLM's political orientation, we told them: 'You hire us for our communications skills, not our politics, so our personal positions are of little consequence.'"
"The employee went on to to hypothetically ask what would happen if he pursued an organization like the NRA as a client? My response to him was also cited in the same article, 'I encouraged [my] staff to pursue a contract with the NRA to help balance our work with a gun-control group.' This was simply my assurance that I was honoring RLM's policies and best practices referenced in the previous paragraph."
"For the record, we did not do business with the NRA or the gun lobby. To be clear, as a political candidate or representative, I would never take money from the NRA or any group that advocates against reasonable gun protections"
Seven Democrats including Flynn are running for the opportunity to take on Faso, who was first elected in 2016.
As of the end of last year, Flynn was among the money leaders in the Democratic primary, reporting $980,000 in cash on hand. Flynn's campaign has been buoyed by a $650,000 personal loan that he gave to his campaign.

When MPs gathered together in the House of Commons to debate a Labour motion on the parliamentary scrutiny of leaving the EU, it laid bare the divide between those wanting greater attention paid to Brexit and those who claim enough is already happening.
This was an opposition day debate; one of the 20 days set aside in the parliamentary calendar for discussion of a topic chosen by the opposition parties rather than something which has been planned by the government.
The government claims, and continued to claim in this debate, that it is going out of its way to let Parliament scrutinise its Brexit work. David Davis, the minister at the helm of the Brexit ship, insisted that he was not "running scared" of MPs.
With the prime minister also caving in to parliament's demands for the chance to formally debate the government's Brexit strategy, there is much more of this to come. And this is definitely not something to be sniffed at. Debates in parliament are important. They allow MPs from across the political spectrum to debate the motion which is put before them.
That said, set piece debates on Brexit won't necessarily give us much opportunity to hear from the government about its strategy. A minister will only speak at the very beginning and end of the debate and the majority of the content of these speeches will have been prepared in advance.
The government has made it clear that parliament must not undermine its negotiating position. So there is unlikely to be a formal vote in the House of Commons before article 50 is triggered – despite the case beginning in the high court.
What these debates will do is provide MPs with a platform to tell the government what they think the strategy should be and to showcase their key concerns.
The real nitty gritty
But there is another way that parliament will seek to find out the government's secret Brexit plan. The creation of a new Brexit select committee in parliament, established to shadow the Department for Exiting the European Union, is a much more exciting development. Its membership is still to be confirmed, but it will contain MPs from all parties (except, it seems, UKIP) and like all select committees, the chair will be elected by MPs. That means the government can't simply shoo-in its preferred candidate. We know it will be a Labour MP – and that former shadow foreign secretary Hilary Benn has put his name forward.
So we can be fairly confident of some robust scrutiny from this committee. We can also expect the government ministers responsible for negotiating the crucial Brexit deals, including Davis, to come before it on a regular basis.
They won't have an easy ride once in the hotseat. Select committees have worked hard over the past decade to carve out a role for themselves as rigorous watchdogs. Just look at how Margaret Hodge and the Public Accounts Committee tore into HSBC bosses and how the Treasury Select Committee even managed to get an apology out of them for their tax-avoidance practices.
They've got a good chance, then, of getting answers to some of the 170 questions that Labour sent to David Davis yesterday. When the committee launches inquiries, they will be open for the submission of written evidence – from government, from businesses, from interested groups, and from the public, too.
The prime minister may be unwilling to give a "running commentary" on Brexit plans and negotiations, but we can be confident that the select committee will. Like all parliamentary tools, they're by no means perfect, but the committee is likely to shed more light on the government's Brexit strategy than the parliamentary debates will. So we should definitely keep a close eye on it.

- Sinemia CEO Rifat Oguz talked to Business Insider about his company's climb up the movie-ticket subscription service ranks.
- He also explained how his company can thrive beyond movie tickets.
At this moment in the movie-ticket subscription wars, Sinemia is in an enviable position.
The company was recently praised by the National Research Group as having the most popular subscription plan for moviegoers with its $7.99 a month for two movies deal, and with MoviePass changing its plan to three movies per month for $9.95 after falling on hard times financially, Sinemia stands alone as the only service that offers an option where you can see one movie per day at any major movie theater in the country.
After creating the first version of the app six years ago, founder and CEO Rifat Oguz has launched Sinemia in numerous countries — including Canada, Australia, Turkey, and the UK — before landing in its ultimate location, the US, in 2017. He's now even made Los Angeles the site for the company's main headquarters.
And it turns out he showed up at the right time. Oguz said subscriptions have grown 50% month-over-month for the last 14 months, and that growth has doubled since MoviePass dropped its one-movie-per-day plan (Oguz would not divulge how many subscribers Sinemia has in the US or globally, only stating that 75% of its subscribers are in the US).
He admits his investors are singing a different tune now compared to over a year ago, when MoviePass announced its one-movie-per-day plan for $9.95 a month and seemed to instantly gain millions of subscribers.
"All my investors called me and asked if I was going to do the same," Oguz told Business Insider. "I looked at the data from the other countries and decided we can't."
Instead of grabbing headlines and the ire of the movie business like MoviePass did, Sinemia kept a low profile, focused on its product (which is similar to MoviePass in that it provides its members debit cards with fixed amounts on it so the tickets can be bought, however, there is also a cardless option), and crunched the data to come up with numerous plans that cater to all types of moviegoers.
Currently, you can choose from a range of subscriptions, from one movie per month for $4.99 to three movies per month for $9.99 ($17.99 and $12.99, respectively, if you want the plan to include going to 3D or IMAX screenings). And unlike MoviePass, with Sinemia you can buy any ticket in advance for an additional convenience fee, and there's a family plan.
In August, when MoviePass could no longer sustain its one-movie-per-day plan, Sinemia introduced that an option as well, offering a $29.99-per-month plan for one movie a day.
"We're going in the path of Netflix and Spotify," Oguz said. "We are more focused on our product and technology."
Oguz believes that, with that focus, he'll soon have the Sinemia brand used by its members for more than just movie tickets.
One part of that goal is implementing concession deals in the US that are currently active in the Sinemia app in Europe, like allowing members to buy popcorn through the app while in the theater. Then, there are the more ambitious ideas, like making deals with restaurants and stores so the Sinemia card could be used to shop and dine anywhere.
"We need to create an ecosystem," Oguz said. "Movie ticket subscription is here to stay, it will become a major part of the box office, but we want to make the Sinemia card available for every need a moviegoer has."
Oguz didn't mention a timeline for the the rollout of these ideas in the US, but, unlike his competition, he doesn't have to scramble to keep the lights on — he has the luxury of focusing on the long game.
"We didn't grow like MoviePass, with millions of subscriptions in months, but we're proud that over the last two months we are doubling our subscribers," Oguz said. "We are happy and our investors are happy."

London, Jan. 16 (World Watch Monitor) — The Pakistan Supreme Court on Tuesday threw out an appeal to reopen a blasphemy case against a 14-year-old Christian girl, who had been accused of burning verses from the Koran.
Rimsha Masih had been acquitted of the charges in November by the High Court in Islamabad. A Muslim cleric was subsequently charged with fabricating evidence against the girl. The lower court's decision was appealed to the nation's highest court.
One of the girl's lawyers, Thahir Naveed Chaudhry, confirmed the Supreme Court's rejection of the appeal to World Watch Monitor. Separately, Federal Minister for National Harmony Paul Bhatti told Asia News he was satisfied with the decision of the Supreme Court confirming "Rimsha Masih is innocent."
According to Vatican Radio, the minister said these were "days of stress and tension" but "justice had prevailed". Bhatti is the brother of Shahbaz Bhatti, the government Minorities Minister who was assassinated for calling for reform of Pakistan's anti-blasphemy law.
Although Rimsha was 14 at the time of her arrest last summer, her developmental age is said to be lower. Some reports say she has Down syndrome and has never received an education. Continue reading "World Watch Monitor: Pakistan Supreme Court confirms decision to drop blasphemy case"

An 8th grader was accused for blasphemy for misspelling the word 'naat'.
If we were wondering whether Pakistan could sink any lower as a nation where morals are concerned, I must say we definitely exceeded our expectations this past week.
All issues related to the blasphemy law and its effect on the fabric of the current mindset in Pakistan can probably take a backseat to the idiocy that raised its head this week. In a spate of vivid defence of religion against the evil world, a teacher accused a 13-year-old Christian girl of blasphemy, alleging that a misspelt word had turned from praise to curse.
Of course, the initial reaction from all corners within and outside the country was predictable:
a) The shocked liberals and mild-conservatives alike raised their hackles
b) The ultra-conservatives were convinced of malicious intent Continue reading "Blasphemy for 8th graders in Pakistan"

Please remember Pakistan in your special prayers. Today a Theological Seminary and churches were burnt in Gujranwala and Christians are being persecuted. Much detail is not available at this point. However Christians are fleeing from the city.

Protect your iPhone from hackers
Protect your iPhone from hackers
Welcome to our complete guide to iPhone security, where you'll find essential tips to protect the sensitive data on your iPhone from the prying eyes of hackers. If you have concerns about the safety of your private data on your iPhone, sensitive information including website logins, email addresses, text messages and even photos and videos, we have some tips to help you protect it. While Apple's iOS system is pretty secure, there are ways to make sure that your iPhone is as secure from hackers as it can be – and here is where we show you how.
Keep iOS up to date
Our first tip on securing your iPhone against potential hackers is a fairly simple one – make sure that you're always running the most recent iteration of iOS, including smaller 'dot' updates. Hackers occasionally find flaws in Apple's coding which they can exploit, potentially giving them access to your personal data. New iOS updates are Apple's way of combatting the exploits by patching any holes in the OS while implementing better stability enhancements. To update to the latest version of iOS, open the Settings app and tap General > Software update. You'll either be welcomed by a note letting you know you're already running the most up to date version of iOS, or be prompted to download and install the latest update. The latest version of iOS is iOS 11, but point updates for iOS 11 are regularly released so it's important to keep an eye out for those. We track the latest updates to iOS 11 here, so you can be sure if there are any issues before updating.
Activate Find my iPhone
Another step you can take in the war against hackers attacking your iPhone is to activate 'Find my iPhone'. If you lose your iPhone then you can log onto Find My iPhone from another iOS device or via the web and remotely wipe your device, taking your personal data with it. This means that even if the hacker did manage to gain access to your lost/stolen device, they'd find nothing. To remotely wipe your iPhone, log in to the Find my iPhone app (or iCloud website), select your iPhone, tap 'Erase iPhone' and confirm the action. The next time it has an internet connection (if it doesn't already) it'll automatically wipe itself.
Create a longer passcode
There's a hacking tool called GrayKey that can crack iPhone and iPad passwords and its being used by law-enforcement agencies. Apparently the tool can crack a four-digit pinched in a couple of hours. A six-digit code can be cracked in a few days. The device, which plugs into an iOS device, disables the usual passcode-retry and re-entry delay strategies that would normally stop anyone from accessing a phone after a number of incorrect passcode entries. While you probably don't have any reason to not want the police or government agencies to hack into your phone, the real concern here is that if it's possible for the GrayKey device to hack into your phone this way, it's highly likely that there will be similar devices and hacks available to criminals. So, until Apple fixes the vulnerability that GrayKey is exploiting to run it's passcode hack, what can you do to protect your phone?
Choose a long passcode: one that's longer than six-digits. It could take a few months to hack an eight-digit pin, and a ten-digit pin could take a decade to crack!
Use a passphrase containing words, rather than numbers. But use random worlds that wouldn't normally appear together.
While passcodes only use numbers 0-9, a passphrase includes numbers, letters, symbols and case-sensitivity which should make your iPhone a lot harder to break into – although it may take a little longer to unlock your iPhone when you want to use it.
Here's how to set up a new passcode for iOS
Open Settings.
Tap Touch ID & Passcode (or Face ID & Passcode if you have an iPhone X).
Enter your Passcode.
Cap on Change Passcode.
Enter your Passcode.
Tap Passcode Options.
From the options, choose either Custom Numeric Code or Custom Alphanumeric Code.
Now enter your new code and verify it.
While if you use Touch ID or Face ID to unlock your phone you won't normally need to use your passcode to unlock it, you may still need it if you haven't used your phone for more than six days, or if you restart your device, for example. (On the subject of passwords, you can significantly improve your security by using a password manager.)
Auto-wipe iPhone content
Our next suggestion may be a little unnerving for some people, but is a great option if you feel like someone is trying to guess your iPhone passcode. The idea is that after ten incorrect passcode guesses, the iPhone will automatically wipe all content and thus make the smartphone useless to the hacker. It's slightly worrying as we've known people to accidentally activate the feature (usually when under the influence of alcohol!) and delete all their personal information. These are usually the same people that tend not to use automatic iCloud backup, so if you do enable the option we'd advise also turning on automatic iCloud backup so if your data is wiped (due to an accident or someone trying to hack you) you'll have everything saved in the cloud. To enable the rather nuclear option, simply head to Settings > Touch ID & Passcode, scroll to the bottom of the page and toggle on 'Erase Data'.
Avoid opening unknown links
This one is fairly self-explanatory – if you receive an unknown link via text, email or randomly on the web, don't click on it. This could potentially pose a threat to your device and even though it may not be able to hack your iPhone directly, some pose as popular email clients like Gmail to gain access to your email account. The pages usually look pretty close to the real thing, so this type of scam is fairly common and it always pays to keep your wits about you. The general rule is that if you don't trust the look of the email/message then just don't bother opening it. The same goes for email attachments too, although there aren't many (if any at all) cases where hackers have been able to gain access to an iPhone via this method, and this is more of a general tip.
Revoke app permissions
The next step to take in the war against hackers is to revoke access to apps. When you use iOS apps you'll often be prompted to allow the app to access things like the camera, microphone, contacts, etc to use the app to the fullest extent. Even though allowing access means you can use every feature of the app, the app may also be able to access your private information. Don't get us wrong – this is against Apple's privacy policy and any apps found collecting personally identifiable information will be removed, and as far as we know this hasn't happened so far, but it is a possibility. Either way, if you feel like you've installed a less-than-reputable app on your iPhone, you can either delete it or head to Settings > Privacy, select the permission you'd like to revoke and toggle the application off – sadly this has to be done on a per-permission basis as there's no way to toggle permissions off all at once.
Turn off Siri
Apple's personal assistant, Siri, is a great feature of iOS and provides users with a way of using their smartphone hands-free. However, no matter how helpful Siri may be to users, it can also provide hackers with personal data. Siri will often ask for some kind of verification before allowing access to contacts, photos and other types of sensitive information, but there have been multiple occasions where people have found workarounds completely bypassing the iPhone passcode and providing easy access to the device. To disable access to Siri on the lock screen, simply head to Settings > Touch ID and Passcode and toggle the "allow access when locked" option off Read more: Siri troubleshooting guide protect your iPhone from hackers

A motion to suppress a confession made to police by Willie Jackson, charged with murder in the shooting death of a Waukegan High School student, was denied by a Lake County Circuit Court judge Thursday afternoon.
Alleging Miranda violations and refusal to acknowledge requests for an attorney, defense attorneys for 19-year-old Jackson, charged with first-degree murder in the killing 17-year-old Dayviontay Jackson, sought to have statements their client made to Waukegan police barred from his pending trial.
Prosecutors said Dayviontay Jackson was shot 14 times at close range by Willie Jackson after an argument. The two Jacksons are not related.
Circuit Judge Patricia Fix ruled that nothing said by the defendant in a videotaped statement made to Waukegan police investigators on Jan. 4 rose to the standard of formally requesting an attorney.
Public defenders Jeff Facklam and John Radosevich had argued in a hearing that began last month and concluded Thursday that Jackson had attempted to invoke his right to an attorney, but police continued interviewing him without one.
After the ruling, the defense attorneys said the issue could be grounds for an appeal if Jackson is convicted at trial.
Jackson's statement eventually included a confession to, and a reenactment of the Nov. 11, 2016 shooting in a home in the 400 block of McKinley Avenue, according to authorities.
Prior to his complete confession, Willie Jackson had asked three times during the interview if he could call his grandmother. The first two times he asked, he was told by an investigator that he would be allowed to make any calls he wanted to, but police first needed him to tell them, "his side of the story."
The third time he made the request, Jackson again said he wanted to talk to his grandmother and that, "She said she got me an attorney."
Both defense attorneys and assistant state's attorneys Danielle Pascucci and Ari Fisz cited case law they believed justified their arguments on the issue, but Fix said that, after reviewing that law and the videotape several times, she found that Jackson made no "unambiguous request for an attorney."
A second motion, alleging that an investigator misspoke while reciting Miranda warnings to Jackson, was also denied by Fix.
Facklam said that while reading Jackson his Miranda rights, Sgt. Scott Thomas mistakenly said anything you say "cannot" be used against you. Under questioning during the hearing, Thomas testified he actually said anything you say "can and will" be used against you.
Fix said after listening to the tape several times, she determined Thomas had said "can and will," although she acknowledged that the reading was "rapid-fire" and less than fully articulate.
Bolstering the state's case, she said, was that the video showed a copy of the Miranda rights placed in front of Jackson to allow him to read along if he desired.
Waukegan police said officers responded to a call reporting a shooting at 8:30 that night, and Dayviontay Jackson was pronounced dead at the scene.
According to a police news release, the incident stemmed from a verbal argument that escalated into the shooting.
During the interview, shown in court, Willie Jackson told police he had gone with his uncle to the home, which is where a friend lived, and that he had not seen Dayviontay Jackson before that evening.
Willie Jackson told police that the victim was "playing with the gun" and acting "really crazy."
"He said he was going to smoke me," Willie Jackson told detectives. "I wrestled over the gun, and I got it."
Jackson initially said he blanked out and could not remember what happened next, but eventually admitted to the interviewers that he shot Dayviontay Jackson.
Before the interview, Thomas and Jaroslaw Grzeda, another Waukegan detective, had driven Willie Jackson back from Dyersburg, Tenn., where he had been arrested on a warrant from Waukegan and waived an extradition hearing.
Grzeda said Willie Jackson spoke with the investigators about a number of topics on the drive back from Tennessee, but not about the case.
Defense attorneys said Jackson told the officers he wanted to return to Waukegan for his interview because his grandmother had hired an attorney, but the officers denied Jackson said that prior to the trip home.
Thomas said the two detectives had body cameras they would have activated if Willie Jackson began to "speak freely" about the shooting, but he said that did not occur and they did not attempt to question him in the car.
Willie Jackson has been held in the Lake County jail in lieu of $3 million bail since his arrest. He is scheduled for a January trial, but Facklam indicated Thursday that does not appear feasible and it will likely be delayed.
Dayviontay Jackson was a senior and was a former JROTC cadet at Waukegan High School.
In a previous interview, his mother, Shukeitha, said her son had just left their house less than two hours before the shooting on the night he was killed. She said he wanted to be a Navy SEAL and was going to join the Navy after graduating high school.

Oil Rebounds From 11-Week Low on Libya Unrest, U.S. Supply DropFebruary 16th, 2011
(Bloomberg) – Oil rebounded from an 11-week low in New York on signs U.S. stockpiles are shrinking and as political protests in the Middle East spread to Libya and Bahrain.
Futures rose for the first time in four days after the industry-funded American Petroleum Institute yesterday said crude inventories slid 354,000 barrels in the seven days ended Feb. 11. Energy Department data today may show stockpiles increased 2 million barrels. Associated Press reported the first-ever demonstrations in Libya against leader Muammar Qaddafi who has held power since 1969.
"The risk premium won't disappear quickly as more countries such as Libya and Iran emerge as hot spots, but on the other hand the tension isn't that powerful yet," said Hannes Loacker, an analyst with Raiffeisen Bank International AG in Vienna. "Supply in the U.S. is good, so inventories will take a bit more time to come down."
Crude for March delivery gained as much as 62 cents to $84.94 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. It was at $84.82 at 1:23 p.m. London time. The contract dropped to $84.32 yesterday, the lowest since Nov. 30. Brent for April settlement advanced $1.16, or 1.1 percent, to $102.80 a barrel on the ICE Futures Europe exchange in London.
Oil-supply totals from the API and DOE have moved in the same direction 75 percent of the time over the past four years. The Energy Department is scheduled to release its inventory report today at 10:30 a.m. in Washington.
Fibonacci Level
Futures in London may surge past $142 a barrel, to near the highest price ever, if futures close above a Fibonacci level at $104.98, according to technical analysis by brokers PVM Oil Associates Ltd. Brent climbed to a 28-month high of $104.30 on Feb. 14 as anti-government protests in North Africa spread through the Arab world, renewing concern that supplies from may be disrupted.
Demonstrators in Yemen clashed with police yesterday while Iranian security forces on Feb. 14 used tear gas to break up the biggest anti-government protests since June 2009. Fighting broke out in Bahrain before the funeral of one of two protesters killed this week, the official Bahrain News Agency said today.
Iran is the second-largest producer in the Organization of Petroleum-Exporting Countries, pumping about 3.7 million barrels a day, according to Bloomberg data. Libya's January output was 1.6 million barrels a day. Bahrain produced about 32,000 barrels a day of crude in 2009 and 1.49 billion cubic feet of gas, according to the national oil and gas authority.
New York futures have outpaced London's Brent this week, narrowing the difference between the benchmark prices. The April spread of the two contracts was at $14.34 a barrel today. The March West Texas Intermediate contract expires on Feb. 22.
Cushing Glut
U.S. crude inventories probably rose for a fifth week in the seven days ended Feb. 11 as TransCanada Corp. completed an extension of a pipeline to Cushing, adding to the glut at the country's biggest oil-trading hub, a Bloomberg News survey showed. TransCanada started deliveries from Alberta to Cushing on Feb. 8 in the second phase of its Keystone pipeline project.
The Energy Department report may show gasoline stockpiles climbed 1.85 million barrels in the seven days ended Feb. 11, matching the longest streak of gains since August. The American Petroleum Institute said yesterday that inventories increased 1.24 million barrels to 241 million.
"Economic data in the U.S. and Europe are getting better than before and this is encouraging a lot of positive response from investors putting money into commodities," said Ken Hasegawa, a commodity sales manager at broker Newedge in Tokyo. "Physically there's no shortage of oil in the world."

Updated February 20, 2019 Generalization is the ability to use skills that a student has learned in new and different environments. Whether those skills are functional or academic, once a skill is learned, it needs to be used in multiple settings. For typical children in a general education program, skills that they have learned in school are usually quickly used in new settings. Children with disabilities, however, often have difficulty transferring their skills to a different setting from the one in which it was learned. If they are taught how to count money using pictures, they may be unable to "generalize" the skill to real money. Even though a child may learn to decode letter sounds, if they are not expected to blend them into words, they may have difficulty transferring that skill to actual reading. Also Known As: Community-based instruction, learning transfer. Examples: Julianne knew how to add and subtract, but she had difficulty generalizing those skills to shopping for treats at the corner store. Applications and Learning Exercises Clearly, special educators need to be sure that they design instruction in ways that facilitate generalization. They may choose to: Teach in different settings in the school.Use real coins to teach money.Take students into the community and give them tasks that require that they use their skills. How about a scavenger hunt at a grocery store? There, you can have students find prices for products on the hunt list.Play store. It gives your students opportunities to read, to add and subtract with a calculator, and to make change and count mixed coins. Continue Reading

Once upon a time… a duo of Ukrainian artists took the name of Interesni Kazki, which literally means 'interesting fairy tales', and still no doubt AEC and Waone know how to stick to this creative concept.
Even at the first look at their walls, the viewer gets caught-up in an oneiric marriage of weird characters and dreamlike creatures that seem to be at ease in surreal landscapes. Infact Interesni Kazki paints its fabulous world of semi-conscious reality with an obsessive accuracy in the details, in the colour shades and mostly in the hidden meanings. The recurring themes of this duo could be spirituality, God, love, humanity and everything in between; Interesni Kazki's mural art reflects at best its inspiring inspiration.

Here are a bunch of crazy little things:
1. I have an interview at Applebees to be a server on Tuesday night at 8 pm. Please keep me in your prayers. Dave and I want all our debt and school loans paid off before he graduates in Dec. with his MDiv. This way we don't get any interest on the school loans. So I am getting a job working at night while the kids sleep and Dave studies. Hopefully this will work for our family.
2. Owen goes to the ENT doctor on Wednesday at 9:30 to talk about tubes! I am actually really scared about this. We have never had a problem with the older two with ears so this is new ground for us.
3. The kids are getting their Spring pics on Tuesday afternoon and we will be doing our first family pic with our baby Owen. I got the kids all matching outfits from Children's place. This is Owen's Here and Here. This is Gracelyn's Here and Here. Isaac is wearing a baige suit with this (but in the blue and green) and a tie that is baige and blue. The boys also have these matching hats that I found for 50 cents each at the Children's Place outlet last summer! I am so excited. I am sure I will have a new heading this week after they get them taken! Thank you mom for the Easter money you sent the kids!
4. We are really ready for spring! The kids are going crazy in this cold weather.
5. Homeschooling is kicking along. I think we are getting a good hang of it finally. Now next year will be really hard because we really want to get a more overview type curriculum. Any mamas out there that would like to give a little review of what you used in the K-2 grades, please do!!!!

I'm a working professional who's been piddling away at an MFA for the past... oh, five and a half years? 6-or-so units at a time. School starts again on the 4th, and I am just so, so tired.
But I owe it to myself to finish this thing, come hell or high water. And if I'm honest? My MFA has made me. I'm not self-taught by any means; I wouldn't know half what I know about design and art direction if not for my MFA.
On one hand it's frustrating, because by all accounts I'm doing the job I'm going to school to do, and have been for awhile. On the other hand, I would suck at this job if not for all those classes. Academia taught me to see and re-see and curate in a way I see people failing to do all the time. That sounds critical because it is — in my observation, the greatest observable difference between self-taught and "educated"* professional artists is the ability to be meaningfully critical of their own work. Editing is everything.
Thank you, MFA-in-progress, for giving me an editing eye. Thank you for teaching me dissatisfaction.
Now if I could just remember to be thankful for the next couple months.
*for lack of a better term

Intel Z390 chipset to replace Z370 with Z370 going end-of-life
We've talked and discussed everything and anything Z390 over the past few months now. Basically, the two chipsets are really similar but would bring support for 8-core Coffee lake processors. Word out now however is that Intel might be simply replacing Z270 with Z390.
Initially, we all expected Z390 to exists next to Z370 and if we can believe a few newly leaked roadmaps, Intel is planning to phase out the Z370 chipset this quarter with Z390. Earlier on, we already posted a news item pretty much indicating this new rumor, The Z370 to get rebranded as Z390. Of course, take the news with a grain of salt.
But in essence, the Z390 chipset would remain the same as the Z370 chipset, manufacturers who want to offer the support that the chipset originally promised, will have to revert and do this in a more traditional way: with external controllers such as those from Asmedia, reported benchlife.
Z390 has been discussed a lot, it should be a chipset intended for 8-core Coffee Lake CPUs, but these are not expected to launch anytime soon. Z390 will get an LGA1151 socket using the traditional DMI 3.0 chipset-bus (which basically is an x4 PCIe link lane up/downlink. Similar to the Z370 chipset, it'll have 24 PCI-Express gen 3.0 lanes. Also similar is storage at six SATA 6 Gbps ports with AHCI and RAID support; and up to three 32 Gbps M.2/U.2 connectors. LAN remains the same as well. 1 GbE, Intel recommends their Wireless-AC 9560 card for the motherboard manufacturers to pair this chipset with for 802.11ac and Bluetooth 5.
Look and compare below, the two official chipset block diagrams.

The 300 series was stupid enough as-is for being backward incompatible just to add another 2 cores, and yet they didn't have the foresight to consider that an 8-core model would also be made? They really couldn't have just done a BIOS update for Z370?

I have the impression, that most of the people are still highly unwilling to learn...
As long as 'Intel' is written on top of the box - they go and buy... no matter how often the sockets will be changed, no matter how little the ipc-improvement is, no matter how quickly new parts are facing an early eol.
&No, I'm not an AMD-fanboy - the heart of my rig is a 5930k since 2014, but i was very sad, how quickly x99 was replaced by x299 (although it could be foreseen, when looking at x79)!
I'm very glad AMD pulled the trigger with their AM4- & TR4-lineup, otherwise the 'mainstream-enthusiast-segment' would still be using only quadcores... how sad.
And finally, what is still (half) a mystery to me: although people are more and more switching to resolutions like 1440p/4K, mindfactory sold twice as much i7-8700k (~7k) compared to the latest AMD-mainsteram-flagship (~3.5k), since R7-2700X appeard... how ridiculous (exept you're gaming in 720p - SCNR).
We'll see how many are running like thirsty cattle to the 'promised Land' (Z390+8 cores).
The only small light at the end of the tunnel gave me the sales numers of the i7-8086k (~0.25k) - maybe I'm starting to get/be wrong in my 'observations' (hopefully).
But we'll see - on AM4 Zen2 will offer up to 16 cores... (and 64 on TR4?) - maybe that will help;
@least should it put Intel on full brown alert, so that maybe again it'll pay of for us consumers.

As a former Intel fanboy, I'm willing to admit the fact that Intel are once again making things worse for themselves, by ruining what little is left of their reputation.
I don't want to change my motherboard every year to change CPU, just because their greedy shareholders think it's a good idea and I'll be happy to jump on the AMD bandwagon eventually.
Only thing holding me back from a purchase is the low core speeds (or "ipc") but from what I've read Ryzen 2 should give me that much needed performance increase over Ryzen+.
Now I may not be as forgiving or favorable when it comes to AMD graphics cards (vs. Nvidia) but that's another topic in and of itself and people will flag my comment as "troll" as soon as I bring it up.

I have no idea what that statement means. You do know if partners stop offering motherboards based on Z370 and shift to Z390 that your system doesn't somehow stop working, right? Intel releasing a new chipset doesn't mean someone comes and rips the Z370 out of your system thus ending its life. It will continue on working happily for years. If you mean there is something newer that is maybe slightly more capable or even equally capable around then it is like just about every piece of technology around. New TVs, cars, coffee makers, washers, phones, etc appear all the time. There wouldn't be many companies left if they only released a new product every 3 or 4 years.
Also @Hilbert, the title infers Z390 will replace Z370 then it says Z270 in the first paragraph.

My concern would be that manufacturers will neglect a board they no longer offer, rolling out BIOS slower or not at all.

What i meant its crystal clear my friend. I had enough with Intel policies and buying every new generation of processors a new mobo just because intel wants to stole my money despite the pricing. I never said anything different or anything mentioned above in your post.

Hardly a surprise the 6 core processors and the Z370 platform was rushed to market to counter the AMD Ryzen, the Z370 could not be validated for older processors as this would have delayed their release and give Ryzen more time on the market so Intels Market share would decline and the 8 core CPU's were not ready so things like phase requirements was not available. Thats not to say the Z370 from the likes of ASUS/Gigabyte/MSI that have huge amounts of phases could not support the 8 cores but since Intel reference motherboard can not supply the power it's not likely Intel will provide the ODM the applicable BIOS to allow support for them and thus even the high end Z370's may not be capable of supporting the 8 cores even if technically they could.
The 6 core processors and Z370 platform was from a panicking Intel to get something to market to compete.

How many chipsets use the 1151 now, no plans to change my delidded 7700k or my Msi z270 Camo Squad.
