When it comes to renting a yacht, there are several options to select from. The company or individual planning the yacht event can pick a yacht according to their specific needs, budget, and preferences. Some popular options include the super yacht, event yacht, and a day charter.
Offers Great Accommodations
Yachts offer some amazing accommodations. They are elegant, luxurious, and offer everything that one could possibly want in a special event or getaway. They also have the option of hosting a static party, which is when you don't want the yacht to depart and float away in the water. Anyone who attends a yacht party or event gets to enjoy the first-class amenities.
Great-Tasting Food
Although it can be subjective, most people would agree that the food served on a yacht tastes better for some reason. The combination of breathtaking sceneries and fresh air makes the dining experience truly special. Furthermore, you also have the option of bringing your own caterer or chef on the yacht. It is the perfect way to create a menu that your guests will love.
Personalized Attention
After the individual has set sail on their yacht for the evening or the day, the last thing they want to stress over is trying to get the crew's attention. Yacht companies have incredibly skilled and attentive crew members who will make sure everyone feels safe and contended at the event. The planner can discuss their ideal yacht experience with the crew, and they will handle the rest.

Trump to our generals: 'You're FIRED'
Donald Trump, when asked about how he would get America's military leaders to come up with a plan to defeat the Islamic State, responded, "They'll probably be different generals, to be honest."
Donald Trump, when asked about how he would get America's military leaders to come up with a plan to defeat the Islamic State, responded, "They'll probably be different generals, to be honest."
Donald Trump, when asked about how he would get America's military leaders to come up with a plan to defeat the Islamic State, responded, "They'll probably be different generals, to be honest."
Speaking at a televised forum with veterans Wednesday night, the Republican nominee for president explained that our current military leaders "have been losing for us for a long period of time" and indicated that he would replace at many of them with the retired generals and admirals who have endorsed him.
He took the opportunity also to underscore his utter lack of confidence in the military's top people. "I think under the leadership of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, the generals have been reduced to rubble…. I have great faith in the military. I have great faith in certain of the commanders, certainly. But I have no faith in Hillary Clinton or the leadership."
If Trump were elected and followed through on these statements, it would represent an extraordinary and perhaps unprecedented politicization of the modern U.S. military. It certainly would amount to the biggest such move since John F. Kennedy, early in his presidency, pinned the failure of the Bay of Pigs invasion in April 1961 on the Joint Chiefs of Staff (incorrectly) and then systematically sought to marginalize them. Most notably, he made retired Army Gen. Maxwell Taylor his personal military advisor, effectively elbowing aside the actual chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He later recalled Taylor to active duty and made him the chairman, where he helped Kennedy enmesh the U.S. military deep in the Vietnam War.
The rest of the evening was less stunning. Trump, clad in a blue suit, a white shirt, and a red and white striped tie, mostly peddled his usual lines.
As for his ability to be president, he simply asserted, "I have great judgement. I have good judgement. I know what's going on." He also claimed that he would bring "common sense" to vexing foreign policy issues.
His view of what is going on is markedly different from that of many foreign policy experts. For example, he genuinely seemed inclined to ally with Russia in fighting in the Middle East. "I think I would have a very, very good relationship with Putin. And I think I would have a very, very good relationship with Russia."
He also alleged that his opponent, Hillary Clinton, has a "happy trigger." This phrase made more sense in context. In considering the use of force, he said, "You're talking about death. And we're talking death to not just our side. We're talking death all over. I would be very, very cautious. I think I'd be a lot slower. She has a happy trigger. You look, she votes for the wars, she goes in Libya…"
The trouble with such forums is that they allow Trump to pretend that he is a normal candidate, and also to look like a potential leader. On the other hand, Trump was quick to reveal the shallowness of his knowledge. It is hard to understand a serious expert in national security supporting Trump after watching his performance last night. Indeed, few of the generals and admirals who recently endorsed him were prominent military figures, and disproportionately they came from the Air Force and the Navy, which aside from the SEALS (a tiny part of the service) have played secondary roles in the post-9/11 wars.
By contrast, such a forum is perfect for highlighting some of Clinton's skills, as well as avoiding some of her weaknesses. Appearing in a Stendahlian outfit of red top and black slacks, she showed herself to be knowledgeable without having to try to rouse a crowd. The veterans present (there were no active duty service members, as far as I could tell) were clearly interested in what the two candidates had to say and informed about the facts. A reality-based discussion plays to Clinton and against Trump. Hence, what might have seemed dull and dutiful before a crowd of thousands appeared here to be well said and even persuasive.
For example, in discussing Iran, Clinton made the key insider's point — don't be distracted by the nuclear issues, look at Iran's current meddling in Iraq, Syria, and elsewhere. On nukes, she said, "I think we have enough insight into what they're doing to be able to say we have to distrust but verify." But, she continued, "What I am focused on is all the other malicious activities of the Iranians — ballistic missiles, support for terrorists, being involved in Syria, Yemen, and other places, supporting Hezbollah, Hamas." This is a sentence bound to warm the heart of Gen. James Mattis, the Marine general ousted by the Obama administration in part for making precisely such an argument.
Only one comment by Clinton was surprising. That was her unconditional vow that the United States would not deploy large-scale infantry units to Iraq, or to Syria. "We're going to work to make sure that they have the support — they have special forces, as you know, they have enablers, they have surveillance, intelligence, reconnaissance help. They are not going to get ground troops. We are not putting ground troops into Iraq ever again. And we're not putting ground troops into Syria." The sentiment is admirable, but one has to wonder if this quotation ever could come back to haunt her.

Here are some more photos I took on the Apache Trail outside Phoenix, AZ.
At the base of the road is a touristy ghost-town. Here's a shot of the local coffee shop, distinctly not serving anyone anymore.
Further up the road lay an actual convenience store and restaurant, the only one for miles around.
It's amazing that anything can grow out in the desert, but these inhospitable cacti are everywhere.
The desert environment is amazing. It really inspires hope, seeing all this life growing out of nothing.
The rock formations are impressive…
…rivaled only by some bizarre plant-life like this giant stalk with a desert flower on the end.
After winding through the desert for a number of very slow-going miles, we came to two beautiful lakes thriving in the desert. Canyon lake, and Apache lake.
At this point, a quick wade in the lake was completely in order.
Heading back to the highway, the sky was cast with red from the sun bouncing off the rocks and clouds.
The train station back at the ghost town, takes tourists on a round-trip tour of the area.
As the sun set, the cacti stood out against the mountain silhouette.

Post-cancer fatigue: what it is, and how exercise can help you treat and overcome it
Top triathlete and oncology specialist Lucy Gossage explains how exercise can help with post-cancer fatigue
Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is very common. It can be caused by the cancer itself or the side effects of treatment, and is described by up to 90% of people with cancer at some point.
CRF generally gets better after treatment finishes but it can take several months, or even years, as everybody is different. You can't rush your recovery and it's important that you listen to your body while you're recovering.
The good news is that being active is one of the best treatments for CRF. However, you probably won't just be able to jump in with the same training you used to do – and not just because of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic – and will probably have to build up slowly.
How to start training with post-cancer fatigue
I'd suggest setting yourself small, simple goals to start off with. They might be as simple as going for a walk, doing a few lengths in the pool (when they're open and it's safe to do so) or pedalling on an exercise bike for 10 minutes (as gyms are out for the foreseeable, can you set up your race bike at home on a turbo?).
Don't worry about pace, distance, power or anything else. Just focus on gradually increasing your activity levels as you find what level of exercise makes you feel less tired rather than more tired.
There will be a tipping point that's unique to you and nobody can find that other than you. Over time, you'll find you can do more but you may need to be patient as your body gets used to not being on treatment.
Anecdotally, lots of people say their heart rate zones are very different after cancer treatment, so, if you've previously trained with a heart rate monitor, you may find you need to adjust your training zones.
After some cancer treatments, like breast cancer treatments, some people are also on hormone treatment for several years, which can also alter how you feel and how your body responds to exercise. Patients often tell me that it takes time for them to find their 'new normal' and it's likely that your 'new normal' will evolve over time as your fatigue lessens.
Don't be scared to exercise – it will definitely make you feel better. But do be kind to yourself and don't do too much too soon.
For when group activities/events start running again, and if you're not in self-isolation, you could check out '5K Your Way, Move Against Cancer' (www.5kyourway.org), a community-based initiative linked to Parkrun. If there's a group local to you, it may be a good place to meet like-minded people living with, or recovering from, cancer so you can share experiences.
Good luck. That triathlon finish line will be so incredibly special!

Confirming rumours that surfaced yesterday, Apple has revealed that its upcoming HomePod smart speaker will launch in the U.S., U.K. and Australia on February 9th, 2018, with pre-orders starting on January 26th.
The company has also confirmed that the HomePod will make its way to France and Germany this spring. What remains unknown is when or if the HomePod will come to Canada at some point in the future. Apple Canada has told MobileSyrup that Canadian availability hasn't been revealed yet.
It's more than likely the HomePod will make its way to Canada at some point — it's just unclear when that's actually going to happen. It's also likely that French language support is holding back the device's Canadian release, though this is just speculation.
In terms of other smart home voice-activated speakers, Google Home officially supports Canadian French, while Amazon's line of Echo devices do not.
At $349 USD (approximately $434 CAD), Apple is going after a very different market with the HomePod when compared to Amazon and Google's cheaper, significantly more affordable voice-activated speakers. Unlike competing manufacturers, Apple's HomePod aims to compete directly with Sonos' high-end wireless speaker offerings.
It's also worth noting that the HomePod seems to feature the same technical specifications as it did when the the tech giant first announced the speaker back at WWDC in June.
Rather than smart home integration, the HomePod is focused on sound quality and music, though it will feature an always-on Siri-powered voice assistant. That said, it looks like Siri's implementation in the HomePod will be much more limited than what Google Assistant in the Home and Alexa in the Amazon Echo, are capable of doing.
There are also a few questions yet to be answered about the HomePod's functionality, including whether or not the device will be capable of playing music from platforms like Spotify or Google Play Music. However, given Apple's walled-garden approach to software and hardware, it's likely that won't be the case.
Additionally, Apple has stated that multi-room audio won't be supported by the HomePod until next year. Competing devices like the Amazon Echo and Google Home are already capable of delivering multi-room audio. That being said, it does seem like stereo playback between two HomePods in the same room might be possible at launch.
Apple delayed the HomePod back in late November because the company said it needed "a little more time" to get it reader for customers.
MobileSyrup will have more on the HomePod in the coming weeks.

1. What are the benefits of using JSPs over Servlets?
There are several benefits of using JSPs. One of the major benefits of using JSPs over Servlets is that you don't have to be a very experienced Java programmer. You only need to understand the basics of Java in order to add the dynamic content. Also, JSPs are easier for presentation purposes. You can create your HTML page and make it look pretty, or your graphical department at work can do this. Then you can add the dynamic content. A great benefit of JSPs over Servlets is the separation of roles.
2. Is it possible to keep the generated Servlet code?
Many application servers provide the option to keep the generated Servlet code. When you configure BEA WebLogic Server in Hour 5, "Understanding the JSP Application Models," you will see how to keep the generated code.

While the Empire Invert Mini is quite small, it overcomes its diminutive size with excellent shooting performance. This munchkin of a marker weighs slightly under two pounds when fully assembled. Despite this, it shoots with the authority and accuracy of a regular-sized marker. It has a middle-of-the-road price (around $300). Moreover, it is incredibly easy to handle, so it has quickly become quite the popular little marker.
Durability Concerns?
For players who are concerned with the Invert Mini's durability, have no fear. This tiny gun comes with a limited lifetime warranty backed by industry stalwart Empire Paintball.
Therefore, you can go all in and play in your usual style without hesitation. While the Empire Invert Mini might be minuscule, there's no reason to wear "kid gloves" when you use it. It's ready for tournament competition, and it'll do a darn good job.
The Invert Mini's Features
The Invert Mini has an impressive 20 bps maximum firing rate. This is a nice surprise that most wouldn't expect from a marker of its magnitude. It'll blast away at competitors with speed and accuracy.
Shot rates are as follows: 1,400 shots at 275 fps off 68/4500 and 1,200 shots at 295 fps off 68/4500. Over 100,000 balls can be shot before the battery life is exhausted. There's also a 12" auto cocker style threaded barrel, a wide range of firing modes, and an integrated anti-chop eye. Colors include red, blue, black, olive dust, and silver dust.
The marker has a three-point adjustable trigger, modes like Millenium, PSP, NXL, and NPPL, and an input pressure of around 200 pounds per square inch. Players will have to remove the foregrip cover to change modes. While this is a hassle, it doesn't take too much time to complete.
When players squeeze the trigger for a shot, they will feel some vibration. This is to be expected from a marker the size of the Empire Invert Mini. Unfortunately, the vibration can be significant enough to loosen a screw or two in the marker's foregrip from time to time.
The Invert Mini Design
The Invert Mini's user experience design is unparalleled. Ballers will love the fact that the Invert Mini is "macro less." This means that it requires no hoses for operation. Integration occurs through the marker's grip. This makes the Invert Mini look extra sleek and unique. Few guns offer functionality without the use of hoses while most require two hands at all times with a steady hold.
The Empire Invert Mini is easily held in a single hand. It can be angled however the player desires to rattle off shots on the run while jumping in mid-air or while crawling on the ground. It is powered up with a single button that also functions as the marker's safety.
The Invert Mini has a universal appeal that will strike the fancy of the most experienced players as well as those who are just starting out with the sport. It has that extra special cool factor that makes everyone want to give it a try.
There is no on/off ASA on the Invert Mini. Players must screw in the tank unless they buy an on/off ASA. On the other hand, owners can simplify the process by completely emptying out the tank before taking it off of the marker.
Moving on, the Invert Mini maintenance is simple. The marker's internal parts can be accessed by removing a single screw. Players will have to lube the bolt along with its guide from time to time. If the gun's eyes got dirty, the player would have to remove them along with the foregrip, plate, and trigger frame. This takes about ten minutes or so. Nonetheless, it is worth the time and effort to maintain eye cleanliness.
The Potential for Upgrades
One of the few criticisms of the marker is that it was designed with fewer upgrades in mind than those you can find inexpensive paintball guns. A good amount of paintball players love to modify their markers with special customization.
The Empire Invert Mini only allows players to add a few extra niceties like certain triggers, feednecks, and barrels. Of particular note are the New Designz Thread Saver and the Lurker bolt. The bolt is recommended as it boosts shot accuracy and speed. The thread saver comes in handy in its own right, as it lets the player de-gas the gun without removing its tank.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you reset the Empire Invert Mini's board?
According to the user manual, there are three ways in which you can reset the Empire Invert Mini's board to its default factory settings. Here is how you can try:
- Turn the power off, then push the Function Key and Power Button at the same time.
- Remove the battery, then simultaneously push and hold the Function Key and the Power Button for a full 10 seconds.
- Disconnect the battery and leave it idle for 15 seconds.
Whichever one of these methods you'll choose, you'll end up with the same result. The board will be back to its original factory settings.
How do I turn the eyes off an Empire Invert Mini?
This passage was taken right from the user manual: "To turn the eyes off, ensure that there are no paintballs in the MINI breach or feed-neck, make sure the marker is switched off, and then while pulling and holding the trigger, turn the marker on. A quick double-blinking green LED will indicate that the eye system has been deactivated."
Do you need to clean the Empire Invert Mini?
Yes, you especially need to clean the eyes, especially if you chop a ball or have a barrel break. If the eyes are dirty, the card will always think there's a ball ready to be fired, which will make you break a lot of paintballs. Unless this kind of ordeal happens, then just go through your regular maintenance process. A regular q-tip will do the job, but you'll need to disassemble the whole unit.
Which one would you recommend: the Empire Invert Mini or the Spyder Fenix paintball gun?
They both work great in all sorts of paintball scenarios. However, from my testing, I have come to the conclusion that the Spyder Fenix makes for an awesome paintball marker for beginners, whereas the Empire Invert Mini is a little more versatile. The Spyder Fenis is also considered to be somewhat more affordable, but you won't break the bank even for the Empire Invert Mini.
The Invert Mini is ideal for players who want a light gun without a hose. Really, who wants to worry about a hose crimping or breaking right in the middle of a paintball tournament? The hose-free design along with its incredibly lightweight separate the Empire Invert Mini from its competitors.
This marker is perfect for anyone with medium to small-sized hands. Those with larger hands might find that the grips are placed too close to one another for comfort. Still, it is a solid marker for almost any paintball player.

Should have looked closer at what I ordered...didn't know they made such a small container...pretty expensive..

I noticed the pros around here use it on their final coats of Epiphanes. As the temperatures rise here in SC, definitely helps keep a wet edge and levels much better
May 10, 2020
Stuff really thins the paint, allows to self level relativity easily. Great for in between coats also - just make sure you let it dry. Smells like straight gasoline so use in a ventilated area.
May 31, 2019
Never attempt to paint without using it. Great product.

Removes sanding residue prior to Varnishing and extends drying time to eliminate overlap and brush strokes
June 20, 2011
At the hint of a professional varnisher in St. Lucia, added it to Epifanes Clear varnish to do brightwork in the tropical sun. Really makes a difference in how easy the varnish flows on, and creates a mirror smooth finish. The only drawback is that the final thickness is less than before so more coats are required.

Through Oct. 8 and 9, Paramount Pictures allowed college press an amazing opportunity to attend the "Jackass 3D" pre-screening and interview the stars of the film.
The crew reunited for their 10 year anniversary to make "Jackass" in 3-D.
The all star cast includes: Bam Margera, Johnny Knoxville, Jason "Wee Man" Acuna, Preston Lacy, Dave England, Steve-O, Chris Pontius, Ryan Dunn, Ehren McGhehy and the director Jeff Tremaine along with multiple guest stars.
On Oct. 8, I attended the press pre-screening of the movie at Mann's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood.
At the showing, the audience was provided with complimentary soda and popcorn.
As the theatre quickly filled up everyone was given the option to sit in the regular theater seat or a "D-Box" motion seat. I took the "D-Box" seat and enjoyed the action as if I were apart of the stunt.
After the film, college press was released for the night.
However, the fun wasn't quite over for me yet. On the way to my car, I walked right into Margera, who was there for the press junket that was to take place the following day.
As Bam and I exchanged small talk he told me, "The worst thing I could have probably done was tell the director of "Jackass" that I'm terrified of snakes cause that means, lets throw snakes on Bam."
The next day the press junket for "Jackass 3D" was held at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel.
The press were divided into small groups and sent to different rooms where we waited for the cast to enter.
Though "Jackass" is not a project that seems like it lends itself to 3-D, Knoxville explained that it didn't hinder their usual process.
"I asked Jeff, I don't want me and the cast worrying about cameras…I don't want to worry about going too far over here, too close because that's not how we shoot, and we did not worry about the cameras at all," he said. "We wrote ideas that had to be funny in 2-D first… if it isn't funny in 2-D it won't be funny in 3-D…that was kind of our rule."
Movies in 3-D are either shot in 3-D or converted after shooting. The difference can be seen in the final product.
Shooting in 3-D, as they did on "Jackass," is always better, but is more expensive, so the conversion method is what's generally used.
"Shooting it in 3-D, that's what we did on this movie, it isn't post converted, shooting it required extra crew, so getting used to that, but really the energy of the guys, getting them back together was so hot, you didn't feel that wall," Tremaine said.
Tremaine also discussed how the cast and crew comes up with the unique stunts they perform.
"Our favorite stuff is the stuff that isn't planned…like while we're setting up an elaborate stunt," he said.
Margera explained how they always have to be on guard on set, because anything's fair game.
"That's the worst part, if you sleep on the set, you're doomed," he said. "There's a masseuse on set. If you're like, I just did a stunt, my neck hurts and I need a massage; that's another vulnerable position that you get stun gunned or peed on or punched."
From several interviews and speaking with the guys during down time, which was quite often, I got a sense of what they're like in person.
Many of the guys claim that their inspiration comes from watching cartoons or stuff that makes them laugh.
Although they're not hardcore pranksters all the time, they are full of humor.
When they sat down at the table for questions they were relaxed and would say something funny to lighten any awkwardness.
Throughout the junket all of the guys were really nice and accommodating.
Overall the access to the cast seemed limitless with respectful boundaries.
The cast mingled with press, contest winners, DJs and staff while taking pictures with fans and making jokes.
Fortunately, I was able to meet much of the cast and hang around the extravaganza. I was able to ask almost any question I had in mind.
Although everyone that was interviewed from the film said a lot of stunts were cut out. There is a "Jackass 3.5" with some extra footage that will be out later this year.
This film is meant for mature audiences and reenactment of any stunts or pranks of any kind are completely discouraged.

The Samsung Galaxy S7 & S7 Edge Review, Part 1by Joshua Ho on March 8, 2016 9:00 AM EST
For some time now, Samsung has been the dominant player in the Android space, especially at the high end of the market. From the Galaxy S2 onwards, Samsung has been able to ride the wave of the smartphone industry's growth without much disruption. Samsung has also shown a pretty impressive ability to adapt to changes in the market as seen by their dramatic departure in materials from the Galaxy S5 generation to the Galaxy S6 generation. While the Galaxy S6 was ultimately one of the best phones you could get that year, at least a few design decisions like the loss of removable battery and microSD slot were generally considered to be a step back relative to previous devices.
Throughout their reign of dominance Samsung has always been able to stay on top, however their competition is never too far behind. To that end, it's probably obvious now that the Galaxy S7 family represents an attempt to improve on the Galaxy S6's perceived faults, while building upon its perceived strengths. In order to start discussing these changes, we can start by looking at the basic specs and design of the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge.

One of the other major changes in terms of design this time around is electing to go with a significantly larger battery than before. Compared to most other aspects of smartphone technology, battery technology is a more mature field and improves as a slower pace, so the tradeoffs made here result in a thicker device and increased weight relative to the Galaxy S6. However, as we'll soon see Samsung has made a number of changes in the industrial design which help to mitigate these issues.
Meanwhile, with the Galaxy S7 generation, Samsung has further blurred the line between the Galaxy S lineup and the Galaxy note. The Galaxy S7 edge is a 5.5-inch device - fully into the phablet territory - and only 0.2 inches smaller than the 5.7" Galaxy Note5. This means that the two Galaxy S7 phones are now more significantly differentiated than with the Galaxy S6 generation, where the difference amounted to the dual-edge display and a slightly larger battery. Now the Galaxy S7 edge is larger, ever so slightly heavier, and contains a battery with 20% more capacity than it's base Galaxy S7 brethren.
The final change of note in the Galaxy S7/S7 edge is the camera. With the Galaxy S6 review it was hard to avoid wondering why Samsung didn't bother to integrate a camera with larger pixel size to improve low light performance, especially when camera was such a significant part of the Galaxy S6 design story with the noticeable camera hump. For the Galaxy S7, Samsung has gone ahead and done just this: the pixel size is now 1.4 micron which should significantly increase the number of situations where the image quality is limited by shot noise rather than image sensor noise. And to top things off the camera hump has now been almost entirely eliminated.
On a quick housekeeping note before we dive in, as we've had less than a week to look at the Galaxy S7, we're dividing up our review into two parts. Today we'll focus on the basics: performance, battery life, design, and the display. Part 2 will go deeper, looking into the Snapdragon 820 SoC in fuller detail, and coupling that with Wi-Fi performance, camera performance, and more.
Now that we've gone over the high level changes of the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge, we can start talking about the design of the device. While the Galaxy S6 was an enormous departure from what we were used to seeing from Samsung, the Galaxy S7 is really more an evolution of the Galaxy S6 design. As previously mentioned, it is noticeably thicker and heavier than the Galaxy S6. However, to offset this increase in thickness Samsung has integrated the curved 3D glass of the Galaxy Note5 into the design of the Galaxy S7.
The result of this change is that the Galaxy S7 arguably feels much better in the hand than the Galaxy S6. While I didn't really have huge issues with the ergonomics of the Galaxy S6, it definitely felt a bit blocky relative to something like the Xiaomi Mi Note Pro and didn't quite fit in the hand as nicely. The weight increase is noticeable, but not really the end of the world.
The thickness does result in a noticeably reduced camera hump, but on a personal level I never really cared about the camera hump in the Galaxy S6, so I'm not sure I care about the reduction in the camera hump here. I would actually argue that a camera hump is preferable to a camera cover lens that is perfectly coplanar to the back of the phone, as it means that the camera lens isn't contacting whatever surface I've set it down on. While sapphire cover lenses go a very long way to eliminating the potential for scratching a cover lens, there's also the potential for oil to smear on the camera's cover lens so I would actually prefer having a camera hump.
The other noticeable change here is the re-introduction of 2.5D curved glass on the edges of the display. I'm not quite sure why Samsung tends to remove and re-introduce this design element seemingly on and off, but it does help with improving the feel of edge swipes at the cost of complicating some things like screen protectors and glass lens durability. Honestly speaking, I'm not sure how much of a difference it makes either way, but it does remove another edge present in the design.
Other than these changes, the design is almost unchanged. The power button remains on the right side of the device and is well-positioned ergonomically. The volume buttons are pretty much in the same place on the left side as well. The 3.5mm jack, micro-USB port, and single speaker are all on the bottom of the device. The only notable deletion in terms of design elements here would be the loss of the IR port on top of the device, which was removed from Galaxy devices starting with the Note5.

fanofanand - Tuesday, March 8, 2016 - linkI have to agree with this assessment, I won't buy another phone without an IR blaster. I have 3 kids, and the remotes are ALWAYS missing.
iheresss - Tuesday, March 8, 2016 - linkThere is no such thing as 'shot noise'. Every digital noise is just lack of light to hit sensor. By having larger pixel size means larger area for light to hit photo sensor hence reduce the 'sensor noise'.
ah06 - Tuesday, March 8, 2016 - linkBut unless the total size of the sensor is increased, isn't increasing the pixel size making only a minor difference?
A 1/2.5" sensor is only going to collect X amount of light whether it collects it over 16 million 1.1 um pixels or 12 million 1.4 um pixels.
The only (very slight) gain over the higher pixel count is the loss at pixel boundaries due to pixel pitch.
Am I wrong?
frostyfiredude - Tuesday, March 8, 2016 - linkBecause the sensing area is larger per pixel, the number of photons incident in each pixel will increase with it. Those incident photons are what give the picture data. So weird quantum effects that somewhat simulate adding or removing photons have less significance when there are more photons to begin with.
More specifically at 1.1um vs 1.4um, 1.1um being quite comparable to the wavelength of visible light is causing some extra anomalous effects too.
ah06 - Wednesday, March 9, 2016 - linkYea I knew 1.1 um was the bare minimum due to quantam effects. But say going from 1.4 um to 2.0 um, would that make much of a difference?
After all the total amount of light collected by the sensor would be roughly same right?
A flower can be composed of 10 million pixels of size X or 5 million pixels of size 2X, the total area of the flow will still have collected the same light?
Where am I going wrong with this :P?
arayoflight - Tuesday, March 8, 2016 - linkActually no. The sensor on s7 is a 4:3 1/2.5" sensor while the one in s6 us a 16:9 1/2.6" one.
What it means is that it collects about 21.49% more licht than the one on s6.
ah06 - Wednesday, March 9, 2016 - linkYou're right about the aspect ratio difference, hope more reviewers cover that there is no "Real" loss of resolution .
However, does increasing pixel size really affect total light collected by sensor?
jospoortvliet - Friday, March 11, 2016 - linkI don't think it does, but it decreases noise caused by chance: with smaller pixels you have noise in low light situations in part simply due to the chance of one pixel catching randomly a bit more licht fotons than correctly represented the scene, and another less. With bigger pixels you smooth that out a bit and thus less random noise. It is only ONE source of noise, but it helps.
Just imagine you take a pic of the same scene with two sensors, one so small it catches 5 photons average per pixel cell, the other one is twice as big and catches, on average, 10. A random one photon difference in a given pixel cell gives 20% brighter or darker pixels on the small, 5 photon-catching sensor and only 10% on the bigger one.
Again, it is only one source of random noise, but a pretty fundamental one you can hardly calculate your way out off.
adamto - Tuesday, March 8, 2016 - link@Joshua Ho. Do you mind if I ask favor? Does S7 support AC tethering? Do you now any other Android phone with AC tethering? I am not talking about connecting S7 phone to a 5Ghz wifi such as home internet. These days most phone can connect to 5GHz wifi anyway. What I am asking is. If S7 itself can become a 5Ghz WiFi hotspot. This is can be very useful feature for me for transferring files between connected device to S7 tethering. I appreciate if you share with us a screenshot of network connection speed at PC to the S7 tethering at second part of review. Thanks!

- Forty-third session -
Communication No. 446/1991
- Submitted by : Dr. J.P. [name deleted]
- Alleged victim : The author
- State party : Canada
- Date of communication : 1 February 1991 (initial submission)
- The Human Rights Committee, established under article 28 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights,
- Meeting on 7 November 1991,
- Adopts the following:
Decision on admissibility
1. The author of the communication is Dr. J. P., a Canadian citizen residing in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. She claims to be a victim of a violation by Canada of article 18 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. She is represented by counsel.
The facts as submitted by the author :
2.1 The author is a member of the Society of Friends (Quakers). Because of her religious convictions, she has refused to participate in any way in Canada's military efforts. Accordingly, she has refused to pay a certain percentage of her assessed taxes, equal to the amount of the Canadian Federal budget earmarked for military appropriations. Taxes thus withheld have instead been deposited with the Peace Tax Fund of Conscience Canada, Inc., a non-governmental organization.
2.2 On 28 August 1987, the author filed a statement of claims in the Federal Court of Canada, Trial Division, for a declaratory judgment that the Canadian Income Tax Act, in so far as it implies that a certain percentage of her assessed taxes goes towards military expenditures, violates her freedom of conscience and religion. On 3 February 1988, the Trial Division of the Federal Court dismissed the action on the ground that the author had no arguable claim. The author appealed to the Federal Court of Appeal which confirmed the earlier decision on 10 October 1989. The author then applied for leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada, which refused leave to appeal on 22 February 1990. Subsequently, following another request by the author, it refused to reconsider its refusal to grant leave to appeal.
2.3 The author requests interim measures of protection pursuant to rule 86 of the Committee's rules of procedure, as the Canadian Internal Revenue Service is threatening to collect the taxes owned by the author.
The complaint :
3. The author claims that the payment of taxes which will be used for military and defence purposes violates her freedom of conscience and religion under article 18 of the Covenant.
The issues and proceedings before the Committee :
4.1 Before considering any claims contained in a communication, the Human Rights Committee must, in accordance with rule 87 of its rules of procedure, decide whether or not it is admissible under the Optional Protocol to the Covenant.
4.2 The Committee notes that the author seeks to apply the idea of conscientious objection to the disposition by the State of the taxes it collects from persons under its jurisdiction. Although article 18 of the Covenant certainly protects the right to hold, express and disseminate opinions and convictions, including conscientious objection to military activities and expenditures, the refusal to pay taxes on grounds of conscientious objection clearly falls outside the scope of protection of this article.
4.3 The Human Rights Committee concludes that the facts as submitted do not raise issues under any of the provisions of the Covenant. Accordingly, the author's claim is incompatible with the Covenant, pursuant to article 3 of the Optional Protocol.
5. The Human Rights Committee therefore decides:
- that the communication is inadmissible under article 3 of the Optional Protocol;
- that this decision shall be transmitted to the author and to her counsel and, for information, to the State party.

Yes this is the main image you land on when you visit this site. Yes it was part of an etching suite for a show I did in 2014 called Unmoglicheskunstarbeitvorlautradierungen. Yes that's a German compound word of my own design and yes it makes me laugh everytime i reference it.
The image is 9 x 12 inches, printed on 300 gsm 11.75 x 17.25 inch Somerset Etching Paper. This sepia/black inked etching features the likenesses of both Amelia Earhart and The Sasquatch "captured" in the infamous 1967 Patterson-Gimlin film. The piece is titled Off To the Party and that is what these two mystery shrouded persons are doing, they're going to a party. Where? How? Why? That is for you to ask yourself as you gaze into this luscious work after you've purchased it and hung it on your wall. I only have a couple of these left so, like ya and stuff or whatever.

Cosmos Now Lets Blockchains Talk to Each Other With IBC Protocol2 min read
After five years of research and development, the long-awaited Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol has been rolled out onto the Cosmos Hub. The protocol allows sovereign chains to connect and communicate with each other, enabling the transfer of tokens between Cosmos and other IBC-compatible blockchains.
The launch on March 29 follows a successful community governance vote in support of the feature, with almost 112 million votes cast in favor of the proposal.
Today @Cosmos has enabled Inter-Blockchain Communication (#IBC) transfers on the Cosmos Hub, making it possible for sovereign blockchains to transfer digital assets (tokens) and data b/w one another.
The Interchain era has begunhttps://t.co/3vybbrLJ5G

During the launch event, which was broadcast live, the developers also performed a live demo of IBC-powered token transfers between different Cosmos blockchains.
With the introduction of IBC on Cosmos Hub, the developers expect that the scope of possibilities for blockchain applications will be greatly expanded, since the protocol supports the transfer of both fungible and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) between chains. This opens up a slate of new possibilities, such as the creation of interchain token exchanges and NFT marketplaces.
According to Cosmos, "Permissionless transfer of tokens across chains is a historic moment on the timeline to a valuable internet of blockchains. Cosmos Hub–the heart of the interchain–will enable trade and connect sovereign chains to create a new paradigm for economic exchange."
The team said it is already working on a decentralized exchange (DEX) that will support cross-chain functionality for IBC-compatible blockchains. Dubbed Gravity, it will act as a marketplace for trading tokens issued on IBC-enabled blockchains, such as the project's own ATOM token, with additional support for ETH-based assets, wrapped BTC tokens, as well as for "any future networks that implement IBC."

A Road Five Years Long
The IBC protocol, which was added to the Cosmos Hub in February 2021 as part of the Stargate upgrade, is one of the key elements of the Cosmos platform. Others include the Cosmos SDK, which allows developers to build applications, and Tendermint–an open-source consensus protocol for creating fast and secure proof of stake blockchains.
The initial Cosmos whitepaper was published back in 2016 and envisioned an "Internet of blockchains"–a system that would allow multiple parallel blockchains to interoperate while retaining their security properties. It took the team three years to bring the project to mainnet—but it's only now that the map of the Cosmos is starting to come together.

Anxiety could cause hypertension — also called large blood stress — which can have really critical wellness consequences. Nervousness treatment can be effective in reducing hypertension and ergo is an essential aid in over all health. However, modern medication and the pharmaceutical industry have colluded to make anxiety a'condition'that's'cureable'by the medications they're significantly more than pleased to sell you. The truth is that the very best anxiety treatment starts by looking after the complete human body, equally intellectual and physical, and reaching excellent over all health. As wellness increases, nervousness symptoms vanish, and there are no extra effects of drug treatment to deal with after the condition is gone.
Nervousness is a persistent situation that will escalate from low stage pressure to a complete anxiety attack. Anxiety attack signs can be quite frightening to at least one who's experiencing them; heart palpitations, hot sensations, difficulty breathing, dizziness and lack of stability in many cases are frequent experiences. Heavy perspiration, face swelling and breaking out in hives are also symptoms. Digestion is frequently influenced, with pains and bloating a standard effect. Mind cramps, chest suffering, tingling feelings, dilation of the pupils, nausea and chills are reported symptoms. Put to this the psychological symptoms of worry, worry, feeling overrun, feeling your life is threatened and the necessity to avoid, and you possess a serious group of symptoms. No surprise nervousness treatment is such demand.
The typical medical response to panic is always to prescribe accelerated thinking syndrome, often in the proper execution of Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors. There are numerous brand names connected with SRI medications, and they often are very of good use in relieving significant symptoms. The thing is that the drugs could be very addictive, and have several side-effects associated together, a number of which may be more debilitating than the panic itself. Also, significant withdrawal outcomes often last days as well as weeks when attempting to have off anti-depressants. Unfortunately, the medical community usually does not tell individuals of the seriousness of the side-effects and withdrawal indicators before prescribing medications for a situation for which several substitute remedies exist.
Hypnotherapy Hypnotherapy can be a quite effective nervousness treatment. In hypnotherapy, deep pleasure is induced, and positive idea and images are implanted in to the unconscious that could expand the relaxation well beyond the hypnotherapy session. You can find no negative effects, and number compounds are presented to the body. Besides just symptom comfort, hypnotherapy can collection the foundation for overall mental changes that lead to increased shape as well, like the desire to exercise and eat balanced foods. Each element is part of a holistic strategy to improve all around health in the in-patient and reduce or get rid of the nervousness completely.
Organic Nervousness Treatment Several herbs have a relaxing influence, and unlike artificial substances, they've number addictive features or large side-effects. Ginseng, Lemon Cream, Valerian, St. John's Wort, Kava Kava, Bugleweed, Catnip and Chamomile have all been applied efficiently to deal with tension and anxiety. These herbs can be found at any wellness super market, and usually even yet in food or team stores. Unlike the SRI's number prescription is necessary, therefore attempting an herbal remedy is a straightforward first choice before resorting to harder compounds in seeking an anxiety treatment.
Diet and Workout Nervousness Treatment Nervousness is a bio-chemical situation, which is why the medical establishment likes to attempt to get a grip on it with manufactured chemicals. But one of the finest ways to influence bio-chemistry, with only positive side-effects, is to eat a healthier diet and get plenty of exercise. Unfortuitously, the typical diet is indeed bad that obesity and poor physical fitness are very common, as is anxiety. Beyond eating a healthy diet with lots of fruits and veggies, day-to-day supplements of W complex supplements are recommended.
T vitamins assist in the synthesis of neurotransmitters, which control connection in the brain, and are very important for temper and intellectual functioning. Calcium can be useful as a supplement, specially for girls, and must be taken when attempting an anxiety treatment. Besides that, eliminating toxic ingredients and actions, such as for instance caffeine and smoking, can perform much to improve nervousness symptoms. Bodily workout decreases tension, and increases circulation, digestion, breathing and freedom, therefore creating ideal health and lowering or removing anxiety.

The EU has not welcomed any new member states since Bulgaria and Romania joined the club in 2007 but there is quite a queue knocking on the door and expecting the ok over the next few years. The hopefuls include a number of Southern European Balkan countries plus Turkey and Iceland. The challenges in all aspects of life and business for these countries will be daunting even if they do not see this at present. The rose-tinted glasses tend to fall away within a few months of accession as very little changes and not very quickly either so be prepared.
Just after the clock ticks into the day of accession and the corks pop and heads start to ache these new countries are exposed to a whole new ball game of rules and regulations and expectations. While this might not appear to be the most important area for a majority of the population, Supply Chains need some work in advance of accession. If you try and keep doing what you usually do in FMCG, Brewing Pharma etc then you will rapidly come unstuck. This is not only related to rules and regulations but it is more about preparedness for the new opportunities the EU market provides.
Here are 5 important areas you need to consider now if you wish to at least maintain your performance status quo after EU accession and avoid a business dip.1. Factories
Factories in non-EU countries have usually survived behind some measure of duty barrier or tax breaks which evaporate when Brussels gets involved. One minute your medium-sized factory is producing exclusively for the home market and the next minute someone in Euro HQ is well advanced with a revised regional souring strategy. If you are a low cost and high quality producer then you have a chance to survive but if your manufacturing metrics are weak and declining you might want to address this now before your volume is swallowed up elsewhere. The flexibility of a local factory essentially under local control could be replaced by distant external supply and the associated Customer Service challenges.
2. Transport
Do you have a transport contract with one or more professional providers? More likely you will use a variety of individual truck owners under spot buying arrangements. The quality of trucks will come into focus if you expect to export goods into the EU. Trucks have to meet EU regulations and what may be allowable in your home country will be "offside" in the EU. Talk to professional transport providers now to ensure your business does not receive an unexpected surprise. Depending on your business size you may consider a 3rd party logistics provider (3PLP) or if you are already more mature, a 4PLP.
3. Warehousing
Are you operating out of ancient facilities dotted around the country? Is stock loss/theft a major issue but too thorny to address? Whether you operate in-house or 3PLP warehousing you should reviews your network and in most cases start to improve the physical quality of the facilities and the associated processes and procedures. If major 3PLP players are already in your territory you might start discussions now as quality warehousing may be in short supply until companies decide whether or not to enter the market.
4. Systems/IT/Data
Are you using a state of the art ERP or do you rely on spreadsheets and local IT solutions that are difficult to expand? If you are part of a multinational you should be well on the way to harmonising systems to ensure you can "talk" to HQ in the same IT system and vice versa. Is your master data aligned and do you have a masterdata manager in place? One specific tip if you are moving to or changing your ERP; in the final few weeks before changeover you would be wise to add extra security at your storage locations! This is the last chance saloon for illegal "stock shrinkage".
5. People & Organisation
And last but not least, people. Are you carrying expensive passengers and conversely are some key roles unfilled? You should review your organisation to ensure skills and experience are aligned with the business objectives in the new EU environment. For example, if you expect to ramp up exports in to EU-land then you had better make sure you have someone in that position and someone who knows the new import/export legislation like the back of their hand. To balance the head cut it is likely some current roles will melt away as local for local legislation is superseded.
Overall, you might consider appointing a Getting Ready Team to help guide the company into the new environment and provide regular status updates to senior management. What is clear is that if you do nothing then you will be in trouble so why not take advice from supply chain people who have done this before?

App Store Bundles Can Now Include Mac And Subscription Apps
With the new practicality, developers can give a bundle of up to ten of their apps. This will increase visibility whereas permitting users doubtless discounted access.
In its announcement, Apple wrote:
"App bundles build it straightforward for patrons to shop for up to ten of your apps in a very single purchase. And now, you'll be able to produce app bundles for macintosh apps or free apps that provide associate auto-renewable subscription to access all apps within the bundle."
The modification to Apple's policy removes a limitation that restricted App Store bundles to simply paid iOS apps. MacOS developers, particularly, are appreciative for the new choice to distribute their apps and attract new users.
In the latest unharness of macOS, Mojave, its app store received a significant rehaul. this transformation also will facilitate to stimulate Mac's store and brag its own new options.
Apple's support for subscription apps is of very little surprise. the corporate has been on a campaign to persuade developers of the benefits of such a model.
