Over the last few days we have known a lot of information regarding the three iPhone that Apple will present tomorrow. In case there was little everything that has been leaking over the months, someone has facilitated the GM of iOS 11 , which has enabled some famous developers in the Apple world to decipher data related to the keynote.
It has been pure spoiler that seems to have left very little to the surprise. The latest filtering? The RAM of the terminals iPhone X, iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, as well as some data related to their cameras .
This will be the RAM of iPhone X, iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus
Developer Steve Troughton Smith has provided valuable information, which we can officially know within 24 hours, but which gives us more details. Apparently, as for RAM, Smith says that while the iPhone 8 will have 8GB of RAM, its Plus version and the iPhone X will have 3GB . To give you an idea, the iPhone 7 Plus has 3GB of RAM and the iPhone 7 2GB. This is not an abysmal difference in any case.
This will be the cameras of the iPhone X
As for the cameras that will integrate the third device, the iPhone X will feature a back of 12 MP with support for video in 4K at 60 FPS and 1080p at 240 FPS. For the front camera, a 7MP camera with 1080p video support at 30 FPS is expected . At first, it was believed that the front camera would also tolerate videos at 4k, but it seems that not.
On the cameras of the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, nothing has been filtered about it. We will wait a little over 24 hours.
Of course, thanks to the GM of iOS 11 if we know in detail how the A11 processor, which will have 6 cores : two high performance and four high efficiency .

Poppies or Papaver rhoeas are annuals that grow to be about 12 to 18 inches in height. There are several varieties, including field poppy, corn poppy, shirley poppy and flanders field poppy. They thrive in full sun and bloom in late Spring to mid-Summer with red, pink, white and orange flowers. While many gardeners sow poppy seeds directly outside after the last frost, and that is the preferred method, it is possible to grow them indoors.
Fill small peat pots with soil. Add a few seeds to each one to increase the chance one will take. It usually takes about 20 days for seeds to germinate.
Check the soil pH with a tester purchased from a garden store or hardware store. Poppies thrive in neutral soil between 6.6 and 7.5 pH. If the soil is too acidic, add hydrated lime. If it is to alkaline, add ground rock sulfur. (See Resources for measurements per square yard.)
Provide poppies with the full sun and cool temperatures it needs. This can be challenging to provide inside. Experts suggest that you sprout the seedlings outside; then bring them indoors after they've started growing. Place them in a bright window (with southern exposure) to give them natural sun.
Water the containers every 2 to 3 days. The plant has average water needs and should not be over saturated.
Apply a general purpose fertilizer once each month to accelerate the plant's growth. Remove spent flowers so new blooms thrive.

A consortium of Greek construction company, Aktor and Greek infrastructure developer, companies, Helektor has won a contract to build a 410,000 tonne per year mechanical biological treatment (MBT) facility which will produce refuse derived fuel (RDF) in Sofia, Bulgaria.
According to a report by the Sofia Globe Sofia City Hall picked the consortium despite offering a higher price of 213.5 million leva ($143.4 million) because it offered a lower cost for processing waste - 60.69 leva ($40.77) per tonne, compared to the 72.43 ($48.66) leva per tonne offered by the second-placed bidder, Sadinata 2012 consortium.
The report said that the contract marks the second phase of the planned waste processing facility which will serve Bulgaria's capital city.
The decision to select the Aktor-Helektor consortium was also reported to be influenced by the significantly lower amount of waste that would be landfilled, which was in line with City Hall targets. City Hall said that the RDF produced by the plant will be used by the city's heating utility, Toplofikatsiya Sofia, and will reduce the company's use of natural gas by at least 10%, the city hall said in a statement.
According to the report the two consortiums were the only ones whose bids were deemed to meet the tender criteria, with three others disqualified. Aktor-Helektor is reported to have 19 months from the signing of the contract to build the plant.
The plant is constructed and in a one year trial operation since September 2015. The construction and trial operation is accompanied by an assigned FIDIC-Engineer - a consortium consisting of two German companies (Ingenineurgesellschaft fuer Internationale Planungsaufgaben mbH and Ingenieurgesellschaft Prof. Czurda und Partner mbH) - and two Bulgarian companies (Consulting Engineering Group Ltd. and Hydroinvest Ltd.)
Thise construction of the MBT is the second stage of a 346 million leva ($242 million) waste management project, funded largely with EU money. In total, the report said that EU funding will cover 84% of the costs of the project.
The governments across the Region are updating their national legislations and regulations
The countries in South-East Europe no matter they are EU members or not, they are all aiming in becoming a part of the vision of the European recycling society. The governments across the Region are updating their national legislations and regulations, as well as are modernizing the old infrastructure which includes the creation of regional waste disposal systems, construction and exploitation of large scale waste and wastewater treatment plants, etc. Most of the countries, EU members, incl. Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, Croatia, have to meet specific EU objectives. The countries must recycle 50% of its waste by 2020 and reduce the disposal of biodegradable waste to 25% of total volume.
The demand for separating -, baling- and recycling machines has been increased and many international companies have entered the Regional market. The increasingly popular process of composting green waste and/or food waste has implemented the interest in composting machines as well, especially in the compost turners.
The 2015 edition of the SE European Exhibitions and Conference took place in the period 11-13, March 2015 in Sofia, Bulgaria. The successful combination of the products display, good practices examples and presentations of world experience succeeded to attract the attention of numerous international and local exerts. The wide range of environmentally-friendly solutions from energy sources, through intelligent management of urban space, to waste management technologies, proved once again such events are crucial for the regional market in order to adapt and to mitigate the climate change.

Parallel Events:
During the three days many feasible ideas were heard and numerous new contact were created through this network-platform. The organizers believe the new "green" technologies will certainly change our responsibility and hopefully will transform our economy into a more circular one.
Mr. Ivo Duerr, International Messe Agentur, Austria, said in the interview:
"Most of the exhibitors at the Austrian Pavilion are satisfied. The companies which intend to develop their business in Bulgaria hope that the country will make steps forward in the new period of EU funding and invest more in fields like environmental protection technologies, waste management, smart cities, etc. No doubt, such event is necessary and also has an influence on the market."
Join the Event in 2016 !

Peter Flawn never settled for mediocrity. Those who lived and worked with him say it was his propensity toward perfectionism that helped transform the University of Texas into the nationally prominent school it is today.
Flawn served twice as the university's president, beginning in 1979. In all, he devoted 60 years of his life to the Austin institution.
Flawn died overnight Sunday in his West Austin home, his family said. He was 91.
"Our family is saddened to announce the death of our beloved father, grandfather and great-grandfather Peter Flawn today," the family said in a statement.
"When one looks back at the intellectual giants that led the University of Texas, Peter Flawn's name will be right at the top of the list," UT System Chancellor Bill McRaven said.
Flawn served as president of UT-San Antonio from 1973 to 1977 and came to the Austin campus as its president from 1979 to 1985. He presided over UT's first major capital campaign in the 1980s, and many say that launched the university into national prominence.

But before he was a renowned administrator, Flawn was a budding young scientist. He was born in 1926 in Miami, and after high school he moved to Ohio to attend Oberlin College, where he met his wife, Priscilla. They were married for 70 years and had two daughters.
Flawn earned his doctorate in geology from Yale University and worked briefly for the U.S. Geological Survey. He came to UT-Austin in 1949 to conduct research at the school's Bureau of Economic Geology. He would eventually serve as director of the bureau and as a professor in the department of geological sciences.
In 1973, he left Austin to lead UT-San Antonio.
During his first term as UT-Austin president, he declared a "War on Mediocrity." It was the theme of his tenure.
"His motto was 'no whining,' " friend and former UT-Austin President Bill Cunningham said. "He understood the mission of the university probably as well as anyone I know. He was a great proponent of graduate research at the university, as well as having a large undergraduate school to support it."
Flawn launched the Centennial Campaign in the early 1980s in celebration of the university's first 100 years. Its fundraising helped increase the number of faculty endowments from 112 to 851, according to UT officials. He also oversaw the construction of five new research buildings on campus, and during his tenure, research awards would reach $100 million.
He was investing in the future of the university, Cunningham said.
"His contributions to our great university were immense, and we will miss him deeply," current UT President Gregory L. Fenves said.
Flawn retired from UT in 1985. That year, the Flawn Academic Center, next to the UT Tower, was named for him.
By outward appearances, he was not an especially towering figure. But Dean of Pharmacy James Doluisio, a friend of Flawn's, described him as someone who looked 6 feet 5.
"He was just that awesome as a leader," Doluisio said.
"He loved appearing as the curmudgeon," friend, professor and retired Adm. Bobby Inman said. "But he actually had a superb sense of humor."
Flawn was a thoughtful man, a voracious reader and a first-rate intellect, Inman said. Above all things, he was a loyal friend. He enjoyed sports and regularly attended UT football games.
"He understood what that meant to the university and the university community," Cunningham said.
After he left UT, Flawn worked in the private sector. He was involved in the venture capital business and was a key player in Texas' successful bid for the superconducting super collider physics research facility, a project that later collided with cuts by Congress. He sat on various boards of directors, including the Southwest Research Institute, a nonprofit applied-research organization.
He also was paid $50,000 a year to be a consultant to one of UT's largest donors, Peter O'Donnell of Dallas.
But he gave that up when UT came knocking again and asked him to serve as interim president in June 1997 while regents searched for a permanent president.
Flawn told Cunningham, then the UT System chancellor, "If it's important to the university, count me in.'"
He took the job for no salary and led the school during a stormy time. UT's beloved president, Robert Berdahl, had just left to become chancellor at the University of California, Berkeley, and his second-in-command, Provost Mark Yudof, also was leaving. That leadership vacuum came as the Hopwood court decision ended affirmative action programs on campus, fueling racial tensions.
Flawn restored confidence and calm. His family said the job reinvigorated him.
It wasn't an easy, ride, though. Three months after Flawn took office, UT law professor Lino Graglia said that black people and Mexican-Americans were not academically competitive with whites, unleashing a months-long furor that captured national attention.
Flawn said in a February 1998 interview that the controversy was probably the lowest point of his tenure. "We spent a great deal of time trying to make clear that Graglia was not speaking for the university,'' he said.
Some students, including then-Student Government President Marlen Whitley, said Flawn did not do enough to quell the ill will the remarks generated.
Despite the tumult, people surrounding Flawn said they believed he had fun during his second stint as president. In 1990, he wrote an irreverent book, "A Primer for University Presidents,'' which included this tongue-in-cheek rule: "Eschew humor.''
Tragedy struck the the Flawn family in October 2001 when his daughter, Dr. Laura Flawn, a gifted spine surgeon in Austin, was killed in a car wreck at age 48.
His wife, Priscilla, died in 2016.
Flawn is survived by daughter Tyrrell Flawn of Washington, D.C. and her husband Dr. John P. Howe III; grandsons John Graham Hill of Santa Monica, Calif., Peter Charles Hill of Irvine, Calif., Thomas Flawn-Chopp of Crested Butte, Colo.; granddaughter Priscilla Flawn-Chopp of Austin; and nine great-grandchildren.

AUTHOR: Denise Mina
I chose this book to read based on the favorable review in Publishers Weekly, and I wasn't disappointed. In what is the first of a series, Denise Mina spends much of the book setting up and introducing her main character, a plump 18-year-old wannabe journalist named Paddy Meehan who is working as a copyboy at a newspaper in Glasgow in 1981. The mystery revolves around the murder of a toddler named Brian and when two older boys are arrested, Paddy discovers one of the accused is her fiance's young cousin.
Once the major elements are introduced, the mystery isn't all that mysterious and I mostly had it figured it, which is possibly why Mina feeds facts out slowly to the reader. Except for the opening chapter which shows the child being murdered, a large portion of the first third of the book is filled with Paddy's family, life, the situation at work, and a parallel story about another Paddy Meehan, an infamous victim of what turned out to be gross injustice and with whom Paddy became fascinated while a young girl and the part of the reason she wants to be a journalist, and right wrongs.
She's a very likable character, but there were times I had to remind myself that she was a young woman in a restrictive time period and environment when it came to women working for a living and her strict Catholic upbringing was largely responsible, along with her weight problem, for her insecurities and low self-esteem. Because so many times I wanted to throttle her, to shake some sense into her, to tell her to trust her instincts. But gradually, Paddy does mature to some degree and I hope in subsequent books, she shows those gains in confidence.
I just wish there had been less of parallel story of the other Paddy Meehan, a petty criminal who was vilified for selling British secrets to the Soviets and later convicted of murder he claimed not to have committed. While Paddy's story influence the main character, one or two scenes, maybe a chapter would have been sufficient for a plotline having nothing to do with the current mystery except relating to how it influences young Paddy. Instead, we get chapters and interspersed scenes. Maybe Paddy, whose story is adapted from a real Paddy Meehan whom Mina once met and interviewed, deserved his own book. But here, it ended up distracting me from the real story.
Still, Mina shows real skill with words and she's crafted a character in Paddy, along with all her supporting characters, who takes on life and lingers on the memory.
