Samsung Galaxy Zero 2025 Price Specs and Release Date!
Samsung Galaxy Zero 2025 is the upcoming new Samsung, Smartphone that will release in 2025. The Galaxy Zero 2025 will have a Snapdragon 855 processor, 8 GB and 10 GB RAM!
Samsung Galaxy Zero Specifications!
As far as the screen is concerned, there is little to say it is magnificent. The tests carried out by the Display Mate website indicate that Samsung Galaxy Zero 2025 is the best a phone can have. It is clear that we are facing a big screen. This Galaxy Zero 2025 Smartphone will feature a 6.5-inch with 4k pixel Super AMOLED display with 18.5:9 aspect ratios. There is the option of capturing the images with an automatic mode.
This option detects the movement, but again some practice is required to achieve it. More convincing we find the hidden option to record in slow motion with a full HD resolution at 240 fps. It should remember that the Galaxy Zero 2025 phone would permit recording in 4K mode at 60fps. Although in this mode the video stabilization does not work. Well, Samsung uses an electronic stabilization system to record a video instead of the optical stabilizer.
Another thing that we think is great news: that Samsung Galaxy Zero 2025 continues to allow data storage using a Micro-SD card. Something significantly expands the possibilities of storing data without paying an extra price for it. Those who want to connect a headphone by a standard jack or by USB-C will have a double option to do so. You can also resort to using the Bluetooth connection. The speakers do not sound too bad in Galaxy Zero 2025. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Zero will have Gorilla Glass 6 protection arrangement on both front and backside.
Samsung Galaxy Zero 2025 Price!
The price ranging for the Galaxy Zero standard model maybe $931. This phone will have to fight to stay in a market with hard competition. Finally, mention that those who like a very clean version of Android this could be the best chose.
The expected price of the Samsung Galaxy Zero 2025!
- Samsung Galaxy Zero Price in Pakistan is PKR 151,063.38
- Galaxy Zero 2025 Price In India is INR 67,194.96
- Samsung Galaxy Zero Price in USA is USD $931

[[File:SM027.png|thumb|left|250px|Gladion in his debut episode]]
Though he did not appear in ''[[SM008|Lillie's Egg-xhilarating Challenge!]]'' in person, a younger Gladion was shown in a [[Photography|photo]] along with his mother {{an|Lusamine}} and sister {{an|Lillie}}.
In [[SM138]], Gladion was training with his Pokémon the night before the final match when Lillie and Lusamine approached him and suggested that he get some rest. However, he declined and told them that he wanted to be prepared for the battle. This prompted Lusamine to compare him to Mohn, mentioning that his father frequently became consumed with preparing for battles, even on their wedding day. Gladion's battle against Ash began the next day, with Gladion sending out Silvally to battle Ash's newly-evolved {{AP|Melmetal}}. After Silvally withstood a few hits, Gladion threw a [[Fighting Memory]], allowing Silvally to turn into a {{t|Fighting}} type, which allowed it to defeat Melmetal. Ash then sent out Pikachu and managed to defeat Silvally. Gladion next sent out Zoroark, much to Lusamine's shock.
will reappear in [[SM139]] and [[SM140]].

Liza still loves her some bugs. These days she has her pick of them, as we've had so much rain that beetles and cockroaches have fled indoors to escape it. More fools they, as that puts them at Liza's mercy. Liza finds them, picks them up, and carries them around by one of their teeny legs. She's like a giant toddler God to these bugs. When she's done playing with them she lets them run away, so I can only imagine the religion that has sprung up around these events.
"The God lifted me high into the air, and I heard peals of laughter like thunder!"
"You failed to sacrifice a bread crumb to Her yesterday! Be glad She did not crush your pitiable carapace!"
She found one in the kitchen this morning. All the way from our bathroom I could hear her yelling, "Buggy is running! He's hiding from me! Come out, buggy! Come out!" A few minutes later she wandered into the bathroom. The beetle she'd found waved its legs feebly, trying desperately to pull one leg out of Liza's grasp.
"This is buggy! He says hi!" Then she said, in a voice even more high pitched than normal, "Hi, daddy! I want to watch a show!" "Buggy wants to watch a show! He likes Dora!" she added in her normal tone of voice.
"How lucky he likes the same shows you do," I told her.
Eli, meanwhile, is obsessed with escape-the-room games. He's grown bored of Kingdom Hearts II: The Cut-Sceneing, so I've turned to free online Flash games to occupy him at night. He enjoyed titles like Little Wheel, but it's the escape-the-room games that have captured his heart. He can't really help with them, but he loves seeing me struggle to find the hotspots that, when clicked, will show a lever that, when pulled, reveals a substitution cipher that I then must solve.
In playing these games, I've filled sheet after sheet of paper with codes, ciphers, and doodlings. The other night he came up to me and said, "I have a piece of paper here. It needs to have codes on it." So off we trundled to Jay is Games to find an escape-the-room game that wouldn't frustrate me too much. I'm afraid if I get too stressed out I'll only be able to calm myself by stepping on all of Liza's bugs and hearing them pop like bubble wrap.

A few weeks ago we were happy to report that Martina Hingis engaged herself to Zurich lawyer Andreas Bieri. Today I have to report that according to Swiss newspaper A-Z.ch the engagement is off.
According to insiders Martina Hingis broke off the engagement but nobody would say why. She is not available for comments.
Andreas Bieri is not available for comments either.
Martina Hingis has a reputation when it comes to guys. It's the 11th relationship she has broken off.
Fans on the unofficial forums of Hingis are confused and devestated.
One fan named Lois has the following to say about the break up:
Certainly it would be nice to read some English explanation of the break-up, I'm just guessing that if I were in Andy's shoes and my girlfriend accepted a marriage proposal then turned around and gave me a long list of "things" she was going to be engaged in (pardon the pun) for the rest of the year…I'd be very disappointed…Martina you can't have it both ways…either you commit to a marriage or not…and her long standing reputation of "opting out" must have won over. Sad!
And I agree with Lois. Either commit to marriage or not.
40 Years Ago Tuesday – Rod Laver Wins Historic Second Grand Slam
NEW YORK, N.Y. – Tuesday, September 8, 2009 marks the 40th anniversary of Rod Laver winning his historic second Grand Slam by defeating Tony Roche 7-9, 6-1, 6-2, 6-2 in the final of the 1969 U.S. Open. The final was played on a rain-soaked grass tennis court at the West Side Tennis Club at Forest Hills in Queens, New York.
To commemorate the 40th anniversary of this significant moment in tennis history, New Chapter Press has re-published Laver's memoir THE EDUCATION OF A TENNIS PLAYER that details the 1969 tennis season as well as the life and times of the Australian tennis legend. Written with Hall of Fame journalist and historian Bud Collins, THE EDUCATION OF A TENNIS PLAYER is now available in a limited capacity via tennis retailer TennisWarehouse (www.TennisWarehouse.com or [email protected]), directly from New Chapter Press (www.NewChapterMedia.com or [email protected]) or at the U.S. Tennis Association Bookstore during the 2009 U.S. Open through September 13. The book will be available via traditional book retailers in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia by early 2010. Special limited edition hard-cover editions of the book are available for $29.95, while paperback copies are for sale for $19.95.
Originally published in 1971, THE EDUCATION OF A TENNIS PLAYER was updated by Laver and Collins in 2009 with new content including his recovery from a near-fatal stroke in 1998. The memoir features descriptions of Laver's most suspenseful matches and memorable portraits of his biggest rivals Ken Rosewall, Lew Hoad, Tony Roche and Pancho Gonzalez. Writes Laver in the updated version of the book of the prospects of the next member of the Grand Slam club, "I wonder when another Grand Slammer will appear and join me. I look forward to it, and will welcome whoever it is just as Don Budge welcomed me in 1962. I was glad to see Steffi Graf as the latest in 1988. Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal seem to have the best chance, along with Serena Williams. I wish them success."
Of the 1969 U.S. Open final against Roche, Laver writes the following;
"The court was greasy, but somehow slow, which favored me because Tony's slice didn't take. Movement was tough, and this was a break for me because Tony decided not to put on spikes. He figured his strained thigh muscles would be jarred by the quick stops you make in spikes, possibly bringing on a cramp.
"That first set was one of the strangest I've ever played. I should have won it and deserved to lose it. I got what I deserved and Tony took it 9-7, just took it right away from me after I'd been serving for the set at 5-3. He did it with beautiful backhands. I was sloshing and slipping around, and a couple of times I had asked referee Mike Gibson for permission to put on my spiked shoes. I'd wanted to begin the match in them, but he'd refused. After that game, Mike said all right. It meant all the difference to me.
"Tony immediately won his serve in four points, but I felt surer on my feet and I knew I'd get going. Especially when I stopped him two points short of the set to keep even at 6-6. But I wasn't so sure when I lost that first set anyway. I'd had a lot of luck during the year, and I wondered if it had run out at last. Although I'd worn spikes here and there throughout my career, the occasions were so rare during my professional days that they took some getting used to. You consciously changed your movements at first. Picked up your feet. No sliding. It was a new sensation until you were re-accustomed to them.
"The slight uncertainty of moving in spikes was gone for good in the first game of the second set when I came through with a big serve at the crucial point of the match. With the first set his, and the pressure on me, Tony got me down 30-40 on my serve. One more point and he'd be up a set and a break, a pretty good edge in that mush.
"We both knew this was a huge point. He took his time getting ready to return, and I did the same lining up—not overly so, maybe not even noticeable to the crowd, but we had to be right for this one. I was righter. I threw myself into the serve, and sliced it wide to his forehand. It didn't come back. He barely touched it, and I could tell it pained him to miss the opportunity. You don't get too many break-point chances on grass—and he didn't have another.
"It wouldn't be apparent for a while, but the match turned upside down right there. I won the game and began hitting harder and harder as I got surer of my footing. Then I won the next and the next—five straight. From that break-point chance in the first game, Tony managed to win only five of the last 23 games. He came all apart as I wrapped him up, 7-9, 6-1, 6-2, 6-2. Not even a rain delay of a half-hour at the beginning of the third set could rust my concentration or help him pull his together.
"Unlike 1962, I had control of myself all through the final match of the Grand Slam. I was never dazed as I had been against Emmo seven years before during a brief case of nerves down the stretch.
"Serving match game, I opened with an ace. I knew what I was about, and wasn't going to let Tony breathe. It was 40-0 when I did try to end with a grand-slamming flourish on a forehand volley. I blew it. A minor disappointment not to be able to score with a put-away as I had on the championship point at Wimbledon.
"It fell to Tony to lose it with a forehand that he hit long. Both of us were glad it was over. Afraid to use spikes, he'd been victimized in sneakers, unable to counteract my better shots, including a number of very good lobs. It was one of my best days with the lob, always a useful shot, but even more damaging that day when running was tough.
"Not enough ordinary players realize the value of the lob, and I guess I didn't until I became a seasoned pro. It's much more than a desperation measure. As an amateur, even if the odds were against my making a shot, I'd usually let fly anyway. When I became a pro, I couldn't risk throwing away points like that because the opposition was equal or better.
"This meant I had to be realistic. If my chances of making a shot from a difficult position were doubtful, I found you seldom get hurt with a lob.
"But there were no more lobs to be hit. Not one more stroke on a chase that began God knows how many strokes ago in Brisbane when I hit the first serve to a fellow I wouldn't know if he walked into the room, Massimo di Domenico. The others I knew pretty well . . . Andres . . . Arthur . . Emmo . . . Tony . . . Newc . . . Dennis . . . Kenny . . . Okker . . . Smith.
"There were 1,005 games in 26 Grand Slam matches, and now it was all over."
Laver captured 11 major singles titles during his career, including Wimbledon in 1961, 1962, 1968 and 1969. After joining Don Budge as the only man to win a Grand Slam by sweeping all four majors in 1962, Laver turned professional where he, along with fellow pros Hoad, Rosewall and Gonzalez, were banned from playing the "amateur-only" major tournaments. When the "Open Era" of tennis began in 1968, Laver netted another five major singles titles, including his Grand Slam sweep of all four in 1969. Laver won nearly 200 singles titles during his career and was inducted into the International Tennis of Fame in 1981.
"I am delighted that THE EDUCATION OF A TENNIS PLAYER is back in circulation and available for a new generation of tennis fans," said Laver. "Winning the Grand Slam for a second time in 1969 seems just like yesterday and this book brings back a lot of memories of the great matches and exciting times. I hope people enjoy reading my story."
Collins, himself a 1994 inductee in the International Tennis Hall of Fame, first met Laver in 1956 at the Longwood Cricket Club in Boston during the U.S. National Doubles Championships. Thirteen years later, the two collaborated on the book that was only to be published if Laver won the Grand Slam. Collins is best known for his colorful television commentary – and his colorful wardrobe – as well as his columns in the Boston Globe. Collins currently works as a commentator with ESPN2 and Tennis Channel.
"Rod Laver is one of the greatest treasures we have in tennis and THE EDUCATION OF A TENNIS PLAYER is one of our sports most important literary works," said Collins. "Rod was always so humble and gracious, but he could play tennis like a hurricane. He was as a great a champion as we have ever had in tennis and one of the all-time nicest guys."
New Chapter Press is also the publisher of THE BUD COLLINS HISTORY OF TENNIS by Bud Collins, THE ROGER FEDERER STORY: QUEST FOR PERFECTION by Rene Stauffer and BOYCOTT: STOLEN DREAMS OF THE 1980 MOSCOW OLYMPIC GAMES by Tom Caraccioli and Jerry Caraccioli among others.

Wimbledon champ Serena Williams visits Obama
WASHINGTON – It was tennis before baseball for President Barack Obama on Tuesday.
Before heading off to St. Louis to throw the first pitch at the All-Star game, the president welcomed Wimbledon champion Serena Williams to the White House.
"It was amazing," Williams said before her World Team Tennis match with the Washington Kastles. "I love President Obama; he has such an unbelievable presence, and he seems to be so normal — and he noticed my shoes. I think that was the highlight of the whole day, was he liked my shoes."
Williams said she was wearing 5-inch heels for the presidential visit.
"He asked me, 'Should I be wearing high heels?' So I thought that was kind of funny because he may have been right," Williams said. "Because it is a job hazard for me, but I insist on wearing them."
Williams got to meet Michelle Obama and the rest of the first family.
"I didn't know she had such an amazing personality," Williams said. "She had me cracking up and laughing. I knew she was a great person, but now I really understand how important this first family is to the United States. And the kids were just so cute and sweet, and the dog was nice."
A fashionable Rafa subbed for Roger
It's almost as if Roger didn't happen.
The loss of Roger Federer to Andy Roddick at last week's Sony Ericsson Open created a vacuum in fashionable men's tennis gear, but Rafael Nadal quickly stepped up to the plate. Fortunately for TSF, some good screencaps by the folks at VamosBrigade.com (plus photojournalists at the tourney) have given us a good luck at Rafa's Nike kit for the week.
First, the murse. Actually, let's talk about the word murse for a second. I am over it. Call a bag "a bag"; a purse "a purse". No need to qualify it it's a men's bag or a women's bag. The style (and who carries it) should speak for itself.
It looks to me like Rafa was using the Nike Vault Track Bag, on sale for $58.99, originally $85.
And let's talk about this gross misuse of his bandana. He wore it pirate style with a white Global Power Tank from earlier this spring (that "tire tread" look). Thankfully, this only made an appearance in his doubles matches with Tommy Robredo, and they didn't last too long in the draw.
And even his shoes get a little personalization. His Air Max Breathe Cages (also from Nike) have his name inscribed on the back.
And finally, a fun windbreaker for those offcourt appearances.

Kolya as Cinderella: racquet and shoes fit
If the shoes and the racquet fit… In case you missed it, Nikolay Davydenko made a racquet switch between Indian Wells and Miami. Prior to the Sony Ericsson Open, he had been using the Prince Ozone Tour.
Racquet switches are usually done during the off-season to give the player a chance to acclimate to the difference. (Remember James Blake's unsuccessful affair with Prince?) At the beginning of last week's tournament, Davydenko switched to the Ozone Pro Tour, a racquet with the same frame ("cosmetically") but with a denser string pattern. Instead of 16 rows of strings, it has 18. This means more control.
During the trophy ceremony, in an interview with Mary Joe Fernandez, Kolya talked about his stick. "I have only one [racquet]. Surprising I didn't break a string. Warm up and play match, warm up and play match, every match, and I finish with the racket… I'm going to keep forever this racket."
My question is: how come he only had one? Can someone from Prince answer this question?
It should also be noted that this is the first tournament that Kolya's worn the Prince OV1 shoes. He's very particular about his shoes (but really, what top ATP player isn't?), and has played extremely well in his new kicks.
One last time: Guga Kuerten as an ATP pro in Miami
Guga Kuerten lost his first round match against Sebastien Grosjean in the first round of the Sony Ericsson Open. The scoreline: 6-1, 7-5.
While his game might not have held up, his fashion sense sure did. He wore a bright orange/red kit (with red hat, red shoes) from Diadora Guga Kuerten. Le sigh, we'll sure miss his flair when he retires.
In doubles, he wore white and won one match with Nicolas Lapentti against Feliciano Lopez and Fernando Verdasco. They lost in the next round to Aspelin and Knowles.
Lapentti also presented Kuerten with an award at an ATP banquet during the tournament.
Looking forward: Kuerten's next stop on his farewell tour is a Challenger-level tournament in Florianopolis, Brazil. That event begins on April 14.

The Rooster Crows: Le Coq Sportif's Spring 2008 line
The rest of the line: We showed you Le Coq Sportif's Myth Shoe last week, and now here's the rest of the Spring 2008 line, aka the first collection into the brand's American relaunch.
The new brigade is headed by former adidas exec Tim McCool (CEO), Kip Meyer (CFO), and Patrick Ouyi (Marketing & Communications).
The arsenal: Clothing and footwear for the spring will come in three lines: Sport Chic, Retro Chic and Tennis…
The Sport Chic line has a few fun details — silk, cashmere, linen, and cotton enhanced with pleats, wood buttons, etc.
Retro Chic was Inspired by the 80's — patch embroidery: an oversized rooster logo, and a bright palette.
The Yannick Noah polos came from the Frenchman's historic achievements in the 80s. Clockwise, from top left: the 1986 Roll Polo, $59.99; the 1982 Porquerolles Polo, $59.99; another retro shirt; and a Tie-Dye version of the Roll Polo, $59.99.
There are some other tennis looks.
Accessories: The "Noah Club 1983" gets a reissue — half cup sole, expanded rubber midsole, and classic leather tennis shoe. Also for sale is a modern interpretation of the "Noah Club Prestige". And a tennis accessories collection these days couldn't be complete without a racquet bag.
Fashion Focus: Le Coq Sportif's Myth is all true
The rooster crows: French brand Le Coq Sportif has a busy spring this year. They plan to release a new line of performance shoes called Myth and they're also relaunching their sports and lifestyle collections in North America (more deets on that later). All this ado is perfectly timed with the 25th anniversary of Yannick Noah's 1983 French Open singles title — a big deal since it was the last time a Frenchman has won a Grand Slam (Jo-Wilfried Tsonga came pretty close last month).
Italian Potito Starace, who contributed to the shoe's design, had this to say about the new kicks:
"It is a privilege to be one of the few players wearing Le Coq Sportif apparel and footwear. I almost feel like I have a unique style when I walk on the court. Comfort is key for me but I also appreciate the 'elegance' of the tennis line."
Details: Myths have two innovative features: the "ERGO +" flexibility system in the instep, supporting the foot; and the "DS2" patented inside sole which keeps the foot dry — no stink! And as far as colorways, a black version is available for men while pink and lime are for the women. (Le sigh… sometimes, a guy just wants to wear lime. Or pink.) What do you think of the shoes? Tell us!
Take a closer look: See the black/white and pink/white versions of the Myth after the cut
Monica has dancing shoes, Steffi hawks Louis Vuitton pumps
A tale of two legends: Recent retiree Monica Seles will join Marlee Matlin, Adam Carolla, Priscilla Presley and Kristi Yamaguchi in the latest season of Dancing With the Stars. Wow, that's a "Who's Who" if I ever saw one.
The sixth season of DWTS will premiere March 17 on ABC. On joining the show, the 34-year-old Seles says "I'm a tennis player. I don't know a tango from a mango."
Seles' recent return to the limelight is likely a big push to move her away from "tennis star" to "celebrity". If you remember, she followed an appearance on the CBS Morning Show earlier this week with the announcement of her retirement. And now, the dancing. She's well on her way, but has to play catch up to her biggest rival on the court…
Steffi Graf's PR machine continues to churn. Graf will have a guest stint on Oprah's Big Give, a "pay it forward" reality show produced by Oprah Winfrey. (Remember when hubby Andre Agassi whacked her in the face? They were taping a segment for it.)
And page five of this week's New York magazine has an ad from Louis Vuitton featuring the Narcisse Pump. The uppers on this two-tone three-inch heel are hand-stitched. Below the picture is this copy:
"Walk with me. By Steffi Graf"
I look at my schedule and I just have to laugh. I'd need to be six people to get through it all. It seems I'm still running all over the place – only my footwear has changed."
That's deep. Do you think she wrote it herself?
Buy: Narcisse Pump, two-tone hand-stitched calf leather with three-inch heel, $1,120, louisvuitton.com.

KCOU, Craft Studio celebrate 40 years
KCOU was shut down in the 1990s due to financial mismanagement.
Sep. 25, 2013
Forty years have passed since KCOU/88.1 FM and the Missouri Students Association/Graduate Professional Council Craft Studio joined MU's family of now more than 700 student organizations.
In honor of the last 40 years, the Craft Studio will be hosting a birthday party Sept. 26 during the eighth annual MU Campus Gallery and Museum Crawl.
KCOU, MU's only student-run radio station, is also celebrating its 40 years by having a birthday party and possibly something else.
"We're definitely trying to plan something … but we don't want to give it away," said Kendresa Cockrell, co-host of the KCOU radio show Inferno.
Both organizations have been on campus since the 1970s, the era of the floppy disk. From its humble beginnings of broom-closet broadcasts, KCOU has prided itself in its diverse selection of music and news, KCOU General Manager Nick Holder said.
"We do just about everything," Holder said. "If you tune into KCOU and hear something you don't like, we guarantee that if you tune in 20 minutes later, you'll hear something else that you like."
KCOU has come a long way since its early broadcasts. It won the title "Best College Radio Station of the Year" by College Music Journal in 1989 and was nationally famous for its exclusively all-student run staff, according to KCOU's website.
The 1990s were a rough patch for the station. KCOU was shut down due to claims of financial mismanagement. The entire staff was fired by the Residence Halls Association, who controlled the organization at the time.
In November 1997, KCOU was given a second chance, and the early 2000s were spent recovering the radio station's reputation.
Today, many of the original staff members of KCOU are still working in broadcast, media and other adjacent careers. One of these individuals is John Bobel, the radio station's first general manager.
Bobel now works for the city government in Lexington, Ky. Bobel said he is always checking up on KCOU thanks to social media sites. He said he wants to make sure that KCOU is still fulfilling its purpose as a college radio station: uncovering new artists.
"College radio plays an important part in college culture as well as American and international music culture," Bobel said. "Many times, it is through college radio that groups find their audience and occasionally break out to the larger mass market."
Cockrell described KCOU's presence on campus as "growing and young."
"We're really trying hard to push our campus involvement," she said.
KCOU hosts numerous events each month, including Open Mic Night every Monday from 9 p.m. - midnight at The Blue Fugue and concerts at Mojo's.
The radio station hopes to expand its presence on campus, Holder said.
"A lot of people think that radio is a stale media, but we are constantly evolving in terms of being in touch (with the community)," Holder said.
MSA/GPC Craft Studio
Josephine Stealey, the Craft Studio's first director from 1973-75 and an MU art professor, recalls the time and effort she and her staff put into the organization.
"For someone fresh out of school, it was an incredible opportunity," Stealey said. "In my perspective, (the Craft Studio) is part of the MU legacy. It provides an outlet for students and faculty and community to pursue different art media that they're interested in knowing more about."
As the director, Stealey's responsibilities included overseeing space renovations, deciding what equipment to purchase, what classes to offer and how to promote the studio's cause.
It was not as easy as it sounded, Stealey said.
"It was a tremendous undertaking," she said. "Once we had the studio up and functioning, then I had to organize all the classes and find all the teachers."
But her proudest moment was when she knew that she had brought something one-of-a-kind to MU's campus.
"We were able to bring this to life and make it happen, (and) it's a mutually beneficial program for everybody in our community," she said.
The Craft Studio offers three-week and five-week classes every semester. In addition to these classes, the studio also hosts "Free Crafternoons" every Friday, in which students and the Columbia community can create mosaics or friendship bracelets.
"We value art and art-making and want students to access and appreciate the arts while they are here at Mizzou, so that when they leave campus, they will support the arts in their community," Craft Studio Coordinator Kelsey Hammond said.
Freshman McKalin Cox said the arts have always been a part of her life. Instead of watching TV, she painted.
"Art stimulates your brain activity and raises your test scores…," Cox said. "Really, it's just going to ruin a school when they take (the arts) away."

Jun 07, A. Be the first to ask a question about Artificial Intelligence. I liked the chapters on search. As pointed out on the book's home pageit is used in over universities in over countries, and is the 25th most cited publication on Citeseer and the 2nd most cited publication of this century.
It covers many AI topics including intelligent agents, searching, knowledge representation, machine learning, etc.
Then it finishes off with an interesting but not really relevant and highly unrigorous not to mention typo-ridden overview of Google's various products mostly PageRank and Google Translate.
Other russeol like neural networks and machine vision would be better off read elsewhere. Sep 02, Erik rated it liked it.
Don't expect implementations in anything but general pseudocode in this book.
Heh, I opened this up to find the ISBN and ijteligencia dried blood all over the pages, suggesting I read this during my cocaine-intensive period back in There are enough examples, but not enough good and clear examples.

Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach
One of the best technical books I have read, albeit on a hard topic. I highly recommend i Fantastic and comprehensive book on the different aspects of artificial intelligence AI.
I love the examples and everything it taught me while learning basic of AI.
So read it once for the survey, keep it on your shelf for the bibliography, and refer back to it whenever you find yourself thinking "hey, didn't I read about that somewhere before? Want to Read Currently Reading Read. Very short on detail in some areas such as Neural Networks.

'Dear Pastors, no Sugar-coated prophecies tonight' – Serwaa Amihere warns Ghanaian Pastors
Definitely, tonight will be the biggest and the last night of 2018 which will have almost everyone including Mallams running to nearby churches to confess their sins and seek the face of God for the coming year 2019.
Prior to tonight's biggest 31st service, Serwaa Amihere has issued a strong warning to some 'Belly-full' pastors to desist from giving Sugar-coated prophecies tonight.
Tonight will be the "hottest night' for the 'Allo' pastors whom instead of preaching about salvation, will rather talk about other unnecessary stuffs.
Notwithstanding, some prophecies on making wealth will be done genuinely but we must also be on a watch for the fakes as well.

What happens when one of Africa's global comedians meets an African global recording artist? African greatness, that is what happens.
Following his late night debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last month, Burna Boy made his latest late night appearance on Trevor Noah's The Daily Show recently to discuss his latest album, African Giant, the famous Coachella font incident that inspired the name of his album and several other topics about himself.
On his outburst over the Coachella poster in January, he said;
I am looking for my name and I can't find my name. I am like – am I really performing?
They had to circle it for me. That's never happened to me before. I am used to being the African giant.
I didn't like it and I expressed myself. Not just for that but so, everyone that comes after me won't have to go through that.
It's only right.
Dressed in a multicoloured striped outfit, a pair of glasses and a neck full of diamonds while rocking his signature braids, Burna Boy also took the opportunity to tell a funny anecdote about how he first came across Trevor Noah while on a boat ride in South Africa.
After the interview, the afro-fusion singer hit the stage to perform a medley of his hit singles "Ye" and "Anybody."
Watch videos from his interview and performance below;

In A Most Violent Year, I think Jessica Chastain looks:
A Most Violent Year scores 6.5 out of 10 on The Movie Database.
Jessica Chastain's first acting role was as 'Sally Ann' in Stolen, released in 2009 when she was 32.

@Catberry: It at least WAS possible to get level 1 building plans from professions quest lines. Not 100% sure about now as professions have been altered.
Connect/merge realms, pleaseGeneral
@Lynchburg: Sporeggar became part of the RP-PvP 5-way with the other RP-PvP realms during the original Connected Realms-program and remains as a part of that RP 5-way today. In terms of size, it is still tiny. If my calculations are correct, it is currently home to about 150 to 250 horde players and slightly bigger number of alliance ones. Naturally, since Defias Brotherhood is so big in comparison, Sporeggar is not in trouble as such... but Sporeggarians are a RARE breed. :D
Connect/merge realms, pleaseGeneral
@Ishodin: Unfortunately there has been no new info, despite myself and several other forum actives trying to get related questions into Q&As multiple times by now... :(:(:(Certain realms would indeed massively benefit from (additional) connections.

@Sethroguen: Please do not post outright lies on forum... I have been posting in population related threads (subs, FCM requests, connections, etc) for years, in fact large reason for my green text were my efforts to inform people during the original Connected Realms program many years ago.Also, I have mentioned the words "bleed" and "decline" multiple times. There IS a downward trend. I am mostly debating posts that suggest that losses are measured in multiple 10 000s players per day or that world wide figures are so far below EU+US figures that some regions would have negative amounts of play…

@Pixelbear: That is NOT how the addon and the site work as I already tried to explain to you. The most important rules you need memorize immediately:1) Any player could have anywhere from 1 to 50 characters per account.2) The addon can NOT detect characters that are not online when it is being run.3) Due to the limitations set by Blizzard, it will NOT record anything on levels 1 to 19.4) Due to the limitations set by Blizzard, it is possible for the addon to miss someone who is online, if the query sequence has already bypassed that particular character type or if someone logs out before the q…
ATVI Blizzard stock is plummetingGeneral
@All: According to CNN business news I have seen, companies like Apple and other tech stocks are going down hard, too. So the stock market is doing its' own thing and we should not read too much into individual stocks, when the general trend is downwards.
How many subs has wow lost?General
@Recollector: Note that I said "very minimum" and I was speaking about active players. I can not detect an active subscription that is not played. There were as of Sunday, at least 1,832 million active players (as in, accounts that had registered activity) left (EU+US). Additionally, I calculated that value using an daily average of three hours and to eliminate as much overlap as I could, used four hour blocks, not three and most certainly not only 52 minutes per player. I also apologize for misunderstanding your note meaning: "Only less than 1,2 million people play and there are over 1,2 mill…
How many subs has wow lost?General
@Pixelbear: Uhhh, my head hurts... losing 100 000 players that fast... Would mean there would have had to have been more than 3,3 million players (EU+US only) as of Sunday morning and each day more than 50 000 of them quit. That is not even remotely realistic pace, when my calculations suggest the actual figure is somewhere between 1 390 and 3 084 / day as a longer term average.I think you took a look at the number of characters seen... and that changing by 100 000 does not mean 100 000 players were lost, only that activity data on 100 000 characters expired (in other words, those were last se…

WHY INVEST IN A GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY HEDGE FUND? The technology sector has traditionally served as an essential constituent in any investment portfolio, and we believe that innovation and invention often associated with this sector will ultimately drive the next leg of growth in the stock market. We seek out technology companies that have proprietary technologies which will provide them with the competitive advantage for sustainable growth, and favor companies that have a stellar track record in pushing the frontiers of technology in their respective subsectors. At BSD, we believe buying and holding these companies and are trading at reasonable valuations will maximize our returns and minimize our risks over the long term.

Three strong reasons to review your estate documents regularlyDec 10, 2019
You have a will, so you figure you're covered, right?
Maybe, but maybe not. There are a number of reasons why you should review your estate documents regularly, from tax-related issues to changing family dynamics. Let's walk through a couple of the significant items to consider:
Giving thanks to ag producersNov 20, 2019
Let's face it, to say this was a tough year would be an understatement. From early snow and freezing temperatures to lighter yields and lackluster prices, this year has left little to write home about.
Tips for avoiding unwelcome surprises next year and beyondNov 08, 2019
It's that time of year again. The weather is changing, holidays are around the corner and our lives are going to slow down any day now. Right?

One-year anniversary of Ag ConversationsSep 20, 2019
By Bradley Cook
It's hard to believe that it's already been one year since we launched Ag Conversations. And the past year in the world of agriculture has been a busy one. Looking back, here's a small sample of what we've seen:
The tax incentives available to producers who exportAug 23, 2019
While driving to the Wisconsin State Cranberry Growers Association Summer Trade Show event a couple of weeks ago, I was reminded how much our local farm communities rely on international markets to sell their products.
Blockchain in agriculture: Why tracing a mango to its source in 2.2 seconds matters!Aug 19, 2019
Ag producers are deeply committed to providing the world with safe, quality food. It comes as no surprise that there has been a consistent rise in the number of conversations about using blockchain technology in agriculture and the food supply chain.
Reflecting on a century of change and looking toward the futureJul 25, 2019
By Bradley Cook
In the Northwest, this year marks the 100-year anniversary of when Wipfli started helping ag producers. Hugh Galusha, Sr. started his firm (which became Galusha Higgins & Galusha) in 1919 in Helena, Montana, serving the tax and accounting needs of the area's farmers and ranchers.
Technology and Innovation in Agriculture: Starting the ConversationJun 25, 2019
It's hard to believe that in just a couple of weeks, Wisconsin Farm Technology Days will be starting. The annual event, hosted this year from July 23-25 on the Walter Grain Farm in Johnson Creek, is something the agriculture community in Wisconsin and surrounding states look forward to. Each year there is a different family farm that hosts the event, which moves around the state to spread the economic impact as well as highlight different sub industries within agriculture in Wisconsin.
Optimizing Your Ag Accounting System Starts With Selecting the Right OneJun 12, 2019
The ag economy could certainly use an upswing. Unfortunately, the current downcycle is lasting longer than the average historical patterns. In the past, the market has been consistent with a three-year pattern, where we experience three years of prosperity followed by three years of a down market. We are currently in an 11-year cycle, of which we experienced seven years of prosperity followed by the current four plus years of a down market.
Farm Tax Deductions and Other Changes: 2018 Tax Season ObservationsJun 06, 2019
Ag producers in many states could use some relief from wet weather conditions delaying spring planting. Many of you are fighting the clock and calendar, and my thoughts are with you. You deserve a break — and maybe even some market stability.
Cash or Accrual Accounting Method: Which Is Best for Ag Producers?May 08, 2019
By Todd Kostman
For most farm and ranch owners, bookkeeping probably doesn't top the list of their favorite chores. However, the financial health of your business depends on good financial records. Having your financials in proper order allows you to make better business decisions. Your accountant also appreciates accurate and complete records for tax planning and preparation as well as strategic planning purposes, and so does your lender.
Six Tips for Working With Your Ag LenderApr 23, 2019
For farm and ranch owners, your lender is an indispensable partner for your business and critical to the success of your operation. The key to successfully working with your lender is to realize it is an important relationship where mutual trust is necessary. But sometimes it's not easy to know how to move forward, so we've put together six tips on how to build or maintain an optimal relationship with your lender:
Cybersecurity Threats in Ag — a Growing ConcernApr 11, 2019
Today's agriculture practices are not the same as when I was a kid growing up on a large dairy farm in Minnesota. Sure, we had automation in our milking parlor and for some of our machinery, but we definitely were not dependent on the internet to operate our farm.
What's My Farm or Ranch Really Worth?Mar 27, 2019
What's your farm or ranch really worth? If you're an owner, chances are you've asked yourself that question a time or two, probably wondered about it for a few moments and then moved on to the next task on your list. However, it's worth taking the time to answer this question, as there are a number of reasons to know and understand the value of your business, whether yours is a working farm or ranch, or any type business associated with agriculture.
Could You Qualify for the R&D Tax Credit and Not Know It?Mar 14, 2019
The Research and Development (R&D) Tax Credit has been around since 1981, and for many years it was a temporary measure that was renewed for a year or two at a time. In 2015 the tax code was enhanced and the credit became permanent. For many people, the term "R&D" conjures thoughts of lab coats and beakers. The good news is, you don't need to wear a lab coat to qualify. It's available to entities of all different sizes and in many different industries — including agriculture. The credit provides dollar-for-dollar reduction and creates an immediate deduction for tax purposes, providing additional cash flow.
Economic Trends in Agriculture: Challenges and OpportunitiesMar 04, 2019
Agriculture is an industry impacted by many factors, including weather, production cycles, economic cycles, technology, government programs and trade policies. Earlier in this decade, Net Farm Income was more than $120 billion according to the USDA. Since then, due in large part to robust production volumes, the prices of several commodities have decreased significantly the past five years.

Every farm or ranch will transition eventually, whether voluntarily or involuntarily. This blog is the first in a two-part series that will start the conversation about what you can do to make sure your transition is a successful one for both you and the next generation of operators.
More Opportunities for ConversationJan 24, 2019
By Bradley Cook
Over the past several months, members of our ag practice have been attending and presenting at ag trade shows in the Northwest and Midwest. I find myself referring to the period between November and February as "convention season," but I'd like to call it "conversation season." It's a busy time for me, but I always enjoy the time I get to spend with clients and friends in the industry and learn about what's on your mind.
Tips for Preparing Your Tax InformationJan 09, 2019
By Kyle Perry
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) passed in December of 2017 was heralded as a tax simplification. While that may be true for an individual who earns a paycheck and little else, the reality is, for an agricultural business owner, the TCJA made things more complex. Having an experienced CPA preparing your taxes is more important than ever.
Year-End Tax Strategies to ConsiderDec 11, 2018
Now that crops are harvested, livestock are tended to and equipment is being addressed, it may seem a little late in the year to be looking at our financial strength and year-end tax planning. However, it may not be too late. Many new changes took place with the passing of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), and many items are still available to us, particularly in the ag industry. These laws can assist you in obtaining your near and long-term goals. The following are items to consider as we near the end of the year.
Should Farmers Pay Quarterly Estimated Tax or File by March 1st?Dec 04, 2018
You may have heard that farm tax returns are due by March 1, but you also may have heard that farmers are required to pay quarterly estimates. So which guideline do you need to follow?
What You Need to Know About Health Insurance During Open EnrollmentNov 29, 2018
We are now in open enrollment season for health insurance for 2019, and many who work in the agriculture industry are wondering if there are any solutions for affordable health insurance. While the Affordable Care Act is still in effect, there is some reprieve from the penalties associated with not having insurance at all.
How Farmers and Ranchers Can Begin Retirement and Business Transition PlanningNov 14, 2018
By Todd Kostman
Retirement plans are a crucial component of any business transition plan. Saving today in a retirement plan allows for flexibility in when and how you transition your farm or ranch. What type of retirement plan you choose to invest in now can have a substantial impact as well.
Ag Producers: Don't Miss Out on the Benefits of Year-End Tax PlanningNov 01, 2018
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), passed in December 2017, has created many opportunities for ag producers. It has lowered rates for each of the seven individual tax brackets, created a flat 21% tax rate for C corporations and increased the personal standard deduction as well as the Section 179 deduction limit and bonus depreciation limit.
Keeping a Pulse on PolicyOct 11, 2018
As we continue to keep a pulse on United States tariff and trade policies, it seems like new headlines sweep across the news cycle daily. In fact, I'm almost certain that more significant developments will arise between now and the day this article is published! The latest announcements indicated the U.S. has implemented its new tariff on Chinese products, and China responded almost immediately by imposing additional tariffs on U.S. goods. On a different note, the U.S. and South Korea recently signed an updated trade deal to which the American beef market is reacting positively.
Why Farm and Ranch Owners Should Pay Attention to the New Section 199A GuidanceSep 30, 2018
The IRS recently issued new proposed regulations under Section 199A to clarify gray areas and change an unintended tax advantage for farmers who sell to cooperatives, created as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.
