This photo makes me grin. Very very much. If you've ever wondered what a wedding photographer chooses as their favourite wedding photo, you can rest assured, it's one of joy. Love, support, family, friends, joy. Lighting and composition and filtering and other photography phenomena are mentioned not once.
Happy Friday, readers. Go call someone in your family and tell them you love them.

Curriculum Principles:
- To develop the unique character of every child to enable them to flourish in a changing society.
- To create time to develop the necessary language needed in order to challenge injustice and express a carefully considered and informed viewpoint
- To understand fundamental British values in order to positively challenge inequality
- To raise their awareness of different religious faiths and the impact these may have on the lives of individuals throughout the world
- To build the resilience and confidence needed to recognise and respond appropriately to risky situations using appropriate strategies to protect health and well-being
- To make a positive contribution to the school and wider community taking action where necessary to influence positive change
- To equip students with employability, team working and leadership skills in order to secure their future pathways and the destinations they aspire to reach
- To support students to become financially capable and to raise their awareness of their rights and responsibilities as consumers
Curriculum intent
Our curriculum is built on three core themes; Relationships, Health & Wellbeing, and Life and Religion in the Wider World. These themes are embedded through the Life Skills curriculum to ensure the unique character of every child is developed. Within each theme students will develop the knowledge and understanding of key concepts to enable them to flourish in the real world. They will be equipped with the language needed to question and debate in order to positively challenge inequality and present an informed viewpoint. Students will be guided to reflect on their position and status in society whilst appreciating others. They will also increase their participation in bringing about positive change within the school and wider community. Misconceptions and stigmas associated with certain topics will be explored in order to shape views and opinions using facts and evidence.
Through the delivery of Relationships, students will explore the knowledge, skills and language to be able to develop and maintain meaningful relationships, build resilience and challenge inequality, as well as having the confidence to manage risky situations. Students are supported to respect equality and to become productive members of a diverse community.
The learning opportunities found within the Health and Wellbeing theme will provide students with the knowledge and strategies to manage physical and mental wellbeing. There is an emphasis on guiding students to make informed choices regarding personal safety and ensuring students have the capability of managing change. Students are equipped with the skills and knowledge required to respond effectively in an emergency, including administering first aid.
In Life and Religion in the Wider World, students will explore the major world faiths and their points-of-view regarding a number of key issues. This unit will also prepare students by equipping them with information, advice, employability skills and qualities to secure their future pathways and destinations by raising their aspirations. Within this theme there is an emphasis on financial capability, planning for expenditure and understanding debt. Students are supported to become critical consumers, considering how their personal finance choices can affect themselves and others.

TIP #1.Finding a Suitable Model
– If your budget doesn't allow hiring models from agencies, then you must start looking for potential models around you. The social media provides a great platform for you to find someone who is appropriate for your modeling assignment. If you are lucky enough to find someone who fits the bill, then you need to gradually proceed towards actualizing your project into a reality. If you have zeroed down on a person who is not a professional model, then it will require a significant amount of effort on your side to get the best out of the modeling potential of that individual.
TIP #2.Collaborating With Professional Modeling Agencies
– If you think that you will not be able to do justice to your project without a suitable and professional model then you must right away get in touch with a modeling agency. But, before signing a model make sure to do a proper research about the terms of the agency that you are planning to collaborate with. One benefit that you get by hiring models from professional modeling agencies is the assurance that your model will arrive for the photo shoot for sure, with lesser restrictions in comparison to an unprofessional model.
TIP #3.Orientation of the Model
– Lastly, before the shoot begins, you must keep your models in loop about the shoot schedule, any last time location changes, costumes and makeup. Doing so will not only prepare the model for the level of commitment required from her side, but also create a prospect of more disciplined shoot for your project.

Episcopal Church Women: Schedule Change: beginning in September, the Episcopal Church Women's Prayer Committee will meet on the second Sunday of the month (September 13) and the full meeting for the Episcopal Church Women will take place on the fourth Sunday of the month (September 27). This way we will not have a conflict with the Ecclesia Ministry service in Marcus Garvey Park. Please see Ms. Glenda White, President of the ECW, for more information.
New Interns arrive this week: Five new interns who will live and serve from St. Mary's Church will arrive tomorrow. They are the fifth year class of interns to join the New York Intern Program at St. Mary's coordinated by Ms. Sarah Nazimova-Baum. The new interns will begin their program with an orientation retreat. They will join us here at St. Mary's next Sunday morning to be commissioned as interns for this coming year. Please seek them out and welcome them to St. Mary's Church and the West Harlem community.
10% is Enough! A campaign of Metro Industrial Areas Foundation, our community organizing effort allied with Manhattan Together, is beginning a campaign to bring back usury laws. These laws, restrictions on interest rates, were repealed in 1980, and this repeal contributed great deal to our current financial crisis. We have other limits for responsible behavior, such as speed limits on our highways. We hope to bring back these financial limits
to stop the financial speeding and recklessness that characterizes our modern banking system. We had a great kick off for the 10% is Enough campaign. St. Mary's Church was very well represented. Take a flyer from the back table to learn more about this work!
New Life in Harlem: We have started a new Church, Thanks be to God!!: This afternoon at 2:00 pm Ecclesia Ministries of New York will continue a new, outdoor church in Marcus Garvey Park, 2:00 pm every Sunday. St. Mary's Church is taking responsibility for the service this Sunday, August 30th , a fifth Sunday in the month. Regularly, we will take the lead on the first and third Sunday each month. We provide the lunch for the "Second Meal." If you are interested in helping out, please call the church office. For more information about Ecclesia and the Marcus Garvey Park Church, please call Father David Madsen, (646) 753-1771.
Stewardship: Please keep your pledge up to date during the summer if you are planning to be out of town. Also, if you have not yet made a pledge to St. Mary's Church, please prayerfully consider doing so. By our pledges and participation in our common worship together, we support each other and the entire ministry of our parish, serving Christ together as the body of the Faithful. Thank you for your past support of St. Mary's Church and please keep your support constant in these difficult times.

A local Red Cross chapter awarded 15-year-old Anne Thomas with "The Spirit of Red Cross," an honor traditionally given to adults performing "extraordinary life saving acts," according to the Stanislaus County Chapter.
Thirteen others were also recognized at an awards breakfast June 2.
"I realized that more important than the accomplishment of raising so much money was developing charity toward all of God's children, looking past my own selfish desires and worldly cares and really caring about someone else," Thomas said.

Turkeys involvement in war with ISIL
Reader comment on item: Turkish Support for ISIS
Submitted by Mohammed Hossain Bhuyan (Bangladesh), Oct 9, 2014 at 04:50
Turkey was a most important country in NATO to check Soviet advancement to the free world but after the successful dissolution of Soviet Union by the west the importance of Turkey became non important to the west. This is politics.
Now we find that Turkey realised this. Now the west is playing with the existence of this NATO member and trying to force Turkey to be involved in fighting against ISIL. Turkey can never earn friendship with west and as such should not fall in trap. Turkey should remember that neighbors will never betray them, they will have to live together.

Young Academic can bring you a fantastic careers guide today, perfect for any graduates who have recently secured that all-important first job.
A manager's most important asset is their team. Conversely, the foremost thing they should be concerned with is improving the effectiveness of their workforce. In a time where businesses are forced to take unfortunate measures such as cutbacks and even redundancies, it is important to remember there are positive things you can do to ensure the day-to-day smooth running of your business. Here are some key points to work on:
1. Communication and morale
Lack of morale is bad news for any work place, from pizza kitchens to stockbrokers. If your employees don't want to be at work, why would they perform well? It is better to prevent low morale from being an issue before it develops.
As an alternative to the usual expensive ventures such as days out and incentive packages, you can adopt policies that will hopefully prevent low morale from becoming an issue, even during unforeseen crises. Always be front facing and honest with all your employees. Use positive reinforcement, such as rewarding good work. Have a sense of humour, but don't develop David Brent syndrome. More than anything, be respectful, especially in the face of problems and problematic people.
Communication is vital to the success of your team as a unit, among themselves, and with management. Avoid passive aggressive memos and emails – they will sow discontent and cost you the respect of your employees.
2. Ability
Acknowledging the need for improvement in your workplace could be debasing when describing it to your employees, but the best workers will use any opportunity to better themselves. Providing the means to achieve qualifications and certification is an excellent way to discern the most ambitious members of your team. The range of employee training courses with West Suffolk College is a great way to hone the skills of your workers effectively and quantifiably. Plus, when looking for middle management, hiring internally can be time and cost effective.
3. Respect
Remember you're dealing with people. Be approachable and fair, but don't be overly friendly. You don't want to blur the lines between worker and manager, because it will only end in tears. Promote an equal environment where everyone feels valued, comfortable and confident. Taking the correct course of action in all of these areas will lead to greater mutual respect in the workplace, and will harbour a pleasant and productive atmosphere that will ultimately translate into profit.

Bristol cancer support worker shortlisted for Macmillan award after 'game-changing' effort
A Montpelier based Macmillan Cancer Support worker has been shortlisted for an award in recognition of her inspirational work supporting people affected by cancer in the area.
A Montpelier based Macmillan Cancer Support worker has been shortlisted for an award in recognition of her inspirational work supporting people affected by cancer in the area.
Gemma Wham, based at University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust, was nominated by colleagues in the Service Improvement Excellence Award category which recognises those who've developed integrated services which have greatly improved the experiences of people affected by cancer.
When Gemma took on the role of Macmillan Cancer Support Worker at University Hospitals Bristol her vision proved game changing in reshaping her rehabilitation and support service. One of her many initiatives involved introducing a one-click e-referral system allowing clinical nurse specialists to refer patients to her easily and efficiently. She also established regular, well-attended, health and wellbeing events, and supported a successful scheme to help patients boost their fitness in advance of surgery.
Gemma said: "I am absolutely overwhelmed by the nomination. I am so privileged to be in this role and to support the people I do but this has encouraged me to continue to do the best I can. Thank you from the bottom of my heart."
"The real positive about my role is the amount of time I am able to spend with patients – it's something clinical nurse specialists simply don't have. Patients can always access our service, and they find this reassuring.
"Macmillan has helped me to grow both personally and professionally, and they have looked after me so that I can look after lots of other people. I'm so proud about what the service has become."
A surprise celebrity guest will be hosting the awards ceremony at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole Hotel on Thursday November 17, where the winners will be announce.For support or information call Macmillan Cancer Support free on 0808 808 00 00 (Monday to Friday, 9am–8pm) or visit macmillan.org.uk.

"After the pool, my muscles feel better than they did before" is not what you expect a boxer to say after a vigorous workout. In this case, a middle-weight champion is preparing for his biggest fight ever by working out with Endless Pools.
The judges have spoken! From 100s of Endless Pools pictures submitted, here are the top 8 winning Endless Pools photos. Chosen for their beauty and for a sense of fun, these 8 Endless Pools span from Connecticut to California, from the rustic to the jaw-dropping.
When injuries interrupted his Boston Marathon training runs, Mark Langan turned to this Endless Pools Underwater Treadmill to retain stamina and flexibility while his body healed.
American Ninja Warrior Jessie Graff trains hard. "Your body can only take so much impact a week." That's why she got an Endless Pool for low-impact aquatic workouts. "This is kind of the perfect solution!"
Feeling "Boston Strong"? The team at Endless Pools® is! We're thrilled to take our Performance pool to the 2017 Boston Marathon's John Hancock Sports & Fitness Expo. It's free and open to the public, and we'd love to see you there! Whether you're just curious or seriously considering an Endless ...
Fastest 50K on a treadmill. Fastest marathon while dressed as Elvis. Fastest time completing 7 marathons in 7 days on 7 continents. These World Records are all held by one man. So how'd he do on the Endless Pools Underwater Treadmill?
"I'm high-mileage for my age, that's for sure," says Jeff. A 46-year-old Navy veteran, former wrestler, and dedicated CrossFitter, he now tailors his workouts differently than when he was younger.
Bert wanted to swim all year round, whenever the mood struck. That's why he installed his Endless Pool® in his previously unfinished basement. The convenience, privacy, and 24/7 access suits him just fine: he's active in sports and the arts, and he finds that his Endless Pool helps him with both!

Though I have written previously about the value of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBT), it is still one of our best kept medical secrets. In the United States, we have approved just 17 indications for HBT, while Russia has 73.
We are making progress, however, as the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) have authorized payment for both professional and technical fees for outpatient HBT. In the past, CMS and most insurance companies would reimburse only for the professional fee at freestanding centers.
This is a significant advance forward because the cost of HBT in freestanding centers is much less than you will pay in a hospital setting. Most freestanding centers charge $200 to $250 per treatment, whereas the cost in a hospital is anywhere from $1,000 to $2,000 per treatment.
Yet even in a hospital setting, the treatment can be cost-effective. For instance, one young man I worked with lost a leg in Iraq, and the other leg was severely injured. He had been in and out of military hospitals for two years before finally being admitted to Bethesda Naval Hospital, where, until the early 2000s, there was a very active HBT program.
The surgeons at Bethesda told him that in two days they would have to remove his remaining leg because of a MRSA infection.
>Fortunately, he had friends at the University of Maryland who performed hyperbaric oxygen therapy on horses. He went to Maryland and received 23 HBT treatments for a cost of $23,000. It controlled his MRSA infection. Meanwhile, amputation would have cost $90,000, with additional expenses for prosthesis and physical therapy.
Five years later, he is still walking on that leg.
Recent news from Wake Forest Medical School shows that they are developing an ambulance that has a hyperbaric chamber in it for stroke emergency patients. This is a significant step forward in the recognition in the value of hyperbaric oxygen.
Valerie Green had a stroke at age 30 that prevented her from walking and talking. But now, with HBT, she is a spokesperson for the stroke association.
The value of HBT in traumatic brain injury is also being recognized. Oklahoma has now passed legislation indicating that veterans with traumatic brain injuries should be treated with hyperbaric oxygen — and they are providing a program to fund this treatment.
In addition, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is starting to recognize the use of HBT, and some of the VA hospitals are now referring patients for this therapy. One young man, John Graciano, who had traumatic brain injury, spent two years in the VA hospital. After a series of HBT treatments, he was discharged to go home.

3 Top Ways People Get Infected by An Email Virus
<firstimage="//static.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/MailVirus01.png">Viruses are some of the oldest parasites known to humans. They probably evolved while the first cells started to populate the planet. With the invention of computers, witty programmers copied the properties of biological viruses and translated them into tiny computer programs.
The sole purpose of any virus is to replicate and spread itself. Damage to the host system is a potential consequence. The most common way for a virus to enter a computer is via email. So how do people get infected by an email virus?
Shouldn't everyone know how viruses enter a computer and be prepared? In this article I will explore the top 3 ways people get infected by an email virus and I will point out how you can avoid such a virus infection.
1. A Virus As An Email Hoax
As mentioned in the introduction, viruses typically are programs. But that's not always the case. Some viruses speculate on nothing but your naivety. Did you ever forward a chain letter, a virus warning, or the email of a desperate parent whose child needed an organ donation? You probably fell for a hoax and helped to spread it.
In this case the virus is the email itself, although it's not really an infection. The damage, however, is the same as with other viruses: clogging up of inboxes and mailservers. Email viruses generally cause a waste of time, resources, and energy.
Next time you receive a potential hoax email, don't forward it unless you're sure it's genuine. About.com features Top 10 lists of latest viruses, virus alerts, and virus hoaxes. Hoax-Slayer is a good resource to get informed about email hoaxes and eventually verify the credibility of an email you have received. Or if the email has tried to defraud you or steal your information, report it to the proper authorities How to Report Email Fraud and Spam to Authorities Here's how to report email fraud to the proper authorities, including governments, companies, and email services. Read More .
2. A Virus In An Email Attachment
While forwarding an email doesn't cause you any major damage, an infection with a "real" computer virus, i.e. a self-replicating program, is a lot more critical. There are "harmless" variants that just forward themselves to your contacts. However, a virus may also be programmed for example, to destroy specific files on your system.
Most viruses are delivered through an email attachment. Attachments that contain viruses are either executable programs (file types: .com, .exe, .vbs, .zip, .scr, .dll, .pif, .js) or macro viruses (file types: .doc, .dot, .xls, .xlt). The safest way to avoid them is to not open email attachments.
Note that you can safely open Word documents in alternative programs that don't support macros, such as Wordpad or Open Office. Some viruses try to hide their true file extension by adding two of them. That's what the ILOVEYOU virus did; its name was "LOVE-LETTER-FOR-YOU.TXT.vbs".
The good news is that downloading and reading the email will not do you any harm. As long as the attachment is not opened, the virus won't hatch. If you don't know the sender and if the email text is suspicious, just delete the email along with the attachment.
If one of your contacts, however, was infected by a virus, the fraud is not as easy to spot. Carefully review each email and play it safe. Many web mail services can scan email attachments for viruses. If you use a desktop mail program like Thunderbird or Outlook and don't have a virus scanner that can scan email attachments, you may save (not open!) the attachment to your hard drive, where it becomes accessible for your virus scanner. Just remember never to open an attachment before it was scanned.
3. A Virus In The Email Body
Last but not least, malicious content can be found in the body of an email. Today, HTML is a common element of emails as it is used to embed pictures and links. However, HTML can also be used to embed scripts that execute automatically and subsequently infect your computer with a virus. That's why many mail programs, by default, block HTML and make you click a button to display content of trustworthy sources. It's a precaution you should not turn off.
Also, URLs can be a virus in disguise. You may see a harmless link that either leads you to a website that executes a malicious script or links to a completely different URL where you automatically download a self-executing virus.
Taken together, the same rule as for attachments applies: never view or access links from suspicious sources.
The reason why all these strategies work is because the respective email is cleverly designed to foul its recipients. It may be a harmless call for sympathy or a threat that calls for instant action. Most people will readily click any link that is presented to them in order to solve a problem or access further information.
What you can do is the following:
- Act smart, not fast.
- Verify the source of any suspicious email before you act.
- Generally, do not blindly forward emails, open attachments and links, or view HTML content.
- Get an antivirus program and regularly update its virus definitions.
- Make sure your mail program is set to not automatically download and open attachments or display HTML content.

See that bird? It's a brown-throated thrush, but in Germany it's called a halzenfugel, and in Chinese they call it a chung ling and even if you know all those names for it, you still know nothing about the bird. You only know something about people; what they call the bird. Now that thrush sings, and teaches its young to fly, and flies so many miles away during the summer across the country, and nobody knows how it finds its way.
Test it this way: you say, "Without using the new word which you have just learned, try to rephrase what you have just learned in your own language." Without using the word "energy," tell me what you know now about the dog's motion." You cannot. So you learned nothing about science. That may be all right. You may not want to learn something about science right away. You have to learn definitions. But for the very first lesson, is that not possibly destructive? - Feynman
Modern tendency toward fact deficit, obfuscating generalities to mask a lack of understanding.
We take other men's knowledge and opinions upon trust; which is an idle and superficial learning. We must make them our own. We are just like a man who, needing fire, went to a neighbor's house to fetch it, and finding a very good one there, sat down to warm himself without remembering to carry any back home. What good does it do us to have our belly full of meat if it is not digested, if it is not transformed into us, if it does not nourish and support us? - Montaigne
Feynman Principle
- Choose & learn about a concept
- Attempt to convey it to a completely uninformed other
- When you fail, go back and re-learn the impeding sub-concepts that you could not clearly articulate, as though to a child
- Try again until succeed, then refactor (simplify further) or return to step one with a new concept
Musk calls this 'thinking from first principles':
I do think there is a good framework for thinking. It is physics – you know the sort of first principles reasoning. … What I mean by that is boil things down to their fundamental truths and reason up from there as opposed to reasoning by analogy.
Feynman Heuristics
Trustworthy people are quick to say 'i dont know, but i'll find out':
And my trick that I use is very easy. If you ask him intelligent questions—that is, penetrating, interested, honest, frank, direct questions on the subject, and no trick questions—then he quickly gets stuck. It is like a child asking naive questions. If you ask naive but relevant questions, then almost immediately the person doesn't know the answer, if he is an honest man. It is important to appreciate that.
Beyesian updating:
Stuck between competing theories, start with priori probability (one derived from deductive reasoning, eg 'if there are two theories, both have 50% chance of being the more accurate). Then, add Beye's Theorem:
We modify our opinions with objective information: Initial Beliefs + Recent Objective Data = A New and Improved Belief. … each time the system is recalculated, the posterior becomes the prior of the new iteration. It was an evolving system, with each bit of new information pushed closer and closer to certitude.
We tend to either dismiss new evidence, or embrace it as though nothing else matters. Bayesians try to weigh both the old hypothesis and the new evidence in a sensible way.
As new evidence comes to light (eg new methods of experimentation), the results/outcomes should show the effect getting stronger/more concrete. If new methods produce less certain results, our way of thinking is likely inaccurate and needs weight adjusted Bayesian updating.
The plural of anecdote is not data. Defensible statistical sampling is key to overcoming bias and anomaly.

Championship leader Lewis Hamilton said he planned to study late into the night Saturday to find a way to beat Ferrari in Sunday's keenly-anticipated Italian Grand Prix.
The defending world champion qualified third behind Kimi Raikkonen, who took pole with Formala One's record fastest lap, and title rival Sebastian Vettel, who is 17 points behind the Briton in the drivers' standings.
After acknowledging Ferrari's marginally superior speed, he said: "The start will hopefully create an opportunity for us.
"I've got to study hard tonight to figure out a way how I can get in front of at least one of the Ferraris on the first lap.
"It's great that Valtteri is right behind me so we can really apply the pressure on the red cars," he said, referring to Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas.
Hamilton broke the record set by Juan-Pablo Montoya at Monza in 2004, in a BMW-powered Williams, but it was not enough to earn him a front row spot as his run of four consecutive Italian poles ended.
"They did a solid job," he said, during post-qualifying interviews on the track, when he was booed by sections of the partisan crowd.
"We gave it everything we could - it's obviously incredibly close between us, but they've had the upper-hand this weekend. Everyone in the team is working as hard as they can to make the difference.
"It's incredibly close, which is great for the sport and it's great to see so many fans here.
"We've improved the car overnight and I'm really happy with where we were today. I'm proud of my guys for pushing this hard.
"We've squeezed absolutely everything out of the car, I kind of knew that the Ferraris might just be able to pull out some extra bit of time.
"We've got to fight hard tomorrow. The long run pace of the Ferraris looked quicker than ours, so it's not going to be easy -- that's for sure."
Bottas, who battled to take fourth, said: "It has been difficult. We tried some set-up changes for final practice and it was better in the corners, but on the breaking I lost performance. It was easy to lock up.
"But this is only qualifying and the weekend is not over. We will give it everything tomorrow in the race. The first lap is going to be interesting - we might get a bit of tow-effect into Turn One."


text: President Donald Trump, who has pulled the United States out of a multinational nuclear deal with Iran and has repeatedly attacked the government in Tehran, has said he is willing to meet the Iranian leadership with no preconditions. Trump made the comments on Monday during a joint White House news conference with Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte. "I would certainly meet with Iran if they wanted to meet. I don't know that they're ready yet. I ended the Iran deal. It was a ridiculous deal. I do believe that they will probably end up wanting to meet and I'm ready to meet any time that they want to," he said in Washington, DC, after being asked whether he would be willing to meet his Iranian counterpart Hassan Rouhani. {articleGUID} Trump said he had "no preconditions" for a meeting with the Iranians, adding: "If they want to meet, I'll meet." His remarks come amid heightened rhetoric in the wake of the US' withdrawal from the landmark nuclear deal with world powers in May and its reimposition of sanctions against Iran. Washington has since threatened countries with financial consequences if they did not halt all imports of Iranian oil from November 4. An adviser to the Iranian president said on Tuesday that any talks with the US had to start with reducing hostility and a return to the nuclear deal. "Respect for the great nation of Iran, reduction in hostilities, US returning to the nuclear deal... That will open the rocky path of the moment," wrote Hamid Aboutalebi on Twitter. Earlier this month, Rouhani hinted that Iran may block regional oil exports if its own sales are halted following the US' withdrawal from the deal, which was signed in 2015 by the US, UK, France, Germany, Russia, China and the European Union. "Do not play with the lion's tail or else you will regret it," Rouhani said in a speech in Tehran, reiterating that the US cannot prevent it from exporting its crude oil to the international market. "Peace with Iran would be the mother of all peace and war with Iran would be the mother of all wars," he added. In response, Trump said sent out a late-night tweet directed at Rouhani and written entirely in capital letters: "Never, ever threaten the United States again or you will suffer consequences the likes of which few throughout history have ever suffered before. To Iranian President Rouhani: NEVER, EVER THREATEN THE UNITED STATES AGAIN OR YOU WILL SUFFER CONSEQUENCES THE LIKES OF WHICH FEW THROUGHOUT HISTORY HAVE EVER SUFFERED BEFORE. WE ARE NO LONGER A COUNTRY THAT WILL STAND FOR YOUR DEMENTED WORDS OF VIOLENCE & DEATH. BE CAUTIOUS! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 23, 2018 Trump's post on Twitter resembled ones he issued last year to warn North Korea over its nuclear weapons programme before he met North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in Singapore in the first US-North Korean summit, where both sides declared a new friendship and made vague pledges of nuclear disarmament. Al Jazeera's Alan Fisher, reporting from the White House, said Trump's comments at the news conference came as a "surprise". "Some people would say this is classic Donald Trump - he has been under pressure over the last couple of days ... and suddenly he is giving the American media this bone to pursue, which is a possible meeting with Rouhani," said Fisher, citing Trump's verbal criticism of Kim before meeting him. "There are voices in this White House, senior voices, who have been highly critical of the Iranian government, who have called for its removal ... but if they are told by Donald Trump, 'I want this to happen', then there is a real possibility that this could happen." Some of these voices include US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and National Security Adviser John Bolton, who have used aggressive rhetoric towards Iran. Trump has previously suggested that Iranian leaders would request a new deal, but Iran has rejected talks on several occasions. Iran stated its interest in keeping the nuclear deal alive, but only if the remaining powers could guarantee that it would not face economic isolation under Washington's sanctions. In May, Pompeo set out 12 tough demands for inclusion in a new nuclear treaty with Iran. "Those came across more as conditions of surrender [to the Iranians] than the beginning of new talks," said Al Jazeera's Zein Basravi, reporting from Tehran. Commenting on Trump's statement, Basravi said his "no preconditions" remark was "a departure" from Pompeo's speech. "Iranian leaders here, one and all, do not believe in the fact that they can trust Trump or anyone from the Trump administration," he said. "It's not so much a trust gap as it is a gorge."

In 2015, 7 of the top 10 smartphone manufacturers in the world were Chinese OEMs, and apart from their popularity in China, companies like Lenovo, Xiaomi, OnePlus, Huawei, and others have been making in-roads into competitive markets like the US, Europe, and India. We've covered these companies and their popular offerings extensively here at Android Authority, and you can check them out in the links below.
- Huawei P9 review
- Huawei Mate 8 review
- OnePlus 2 review
- OnePlus X review
- Xiaomi Mi 5 review
- Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 review
However, China is home to a slew of other great smartphone manufacturers as well, that, while quite popular in their home market, aren't as well-known internationally. That's certainly not because of the lack of a good product, with devices that offer everything you'd expect from a flagship smartphone, including solid specifications and features, all at a very affordable price point. The phones listed above definitely qualify as some of the best Chinese Android smartphones, but for this roundup, we attempt to showcase some of these lesser-known OEMs and their devices. Let's take a look!

Meizu Pro 6
Meizu may not be as well-known as some of its Chinese counterparts, but the company offers some fantastic smartphones, particularly in the ultra budget-friendly segment. That said, Meizu is making waves with their high-end offerings as well, and only a few months after the release of the Pro 5, comes the company's latest flagship smartphone, the Meizu Pro 6. The Pro 6 retains the beautiful full metal unibody construction of its predecessor.
It comes with some useful features and hardware, including its own take on Apple's 3D Touch and Huawei's Force Touch, called 3D Press, which uses additional force to pull up previews, extra menus, and other hotkey functions. It also comes with a Cirrus Logic CS43L36 audio chip for Hi-Fi audio. The Pro 6 is also the first smartphone to be powered by the deca-core MediaTek Helio X25 processor, and backing it is the Mali-T880MP4 GPU and 4 GB of RAM. Other high-end features include a fingerprint scanner up front, a USB Type-C port (USB 3.1) and mCharge 3.0 fast charging capabilities, and a 21 MP rear camera.
The Meizu Pro 6 is the complete package, with specifications and features to give any current generation flagship a run for its money, but where it has its high-end competition beat is when it comes to price, with the 32 GB model retailing for ¥2,499 (~$390) and the 64 GB variant priced at ¥2,799 (~$430). Granted, the price will be slightly higher if you're looking to import the device, but it'll still be much cheaper the most of its competitors. You can find out more about the Meizu Pro 6 here.
- 5.2-inch AMOLED display with 1920 x 1080 resolution, 423 ppi
- 2.5 GHz deca-core Helio X25 processor

Nubia Z9
Nubia is a subsidiary of ZTE, and has produced a series of fantastic mid-range to high-end smartphones that are definitely worth checking out. The latest flagship offering from the company is the Nubia Z9, which comes with a solid design and build quality. It's comprised of a metal and glass unibody construction and sports other top of the line specifications and features that make it a deserving competitor to its high-end brethren.
There are actually three variants of the Z9 available. While all three are powered by the octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor, the Classic version comes with 3 GB of RAM, while the Elite and Exclusive iterations feature 4 GB of RAM. The Exclusive edition also comes with a fingerprint scanner, which isn't available with the other two options. One of the standout features of this device is the display, which comes with a slightly raised 2.5D glass panel on top with curves along the edges that allows for a bezel-less look and feel which is sure to turn heads. Of course, the Full HD display also provides a fantastic viewing experience, with bright, vivid colors, high brightness, and good viewing angles.
The Nubia Z9 is a powerful device with a beautiful design, great display, solid battery life, and other specifications and features that make it among the best smartphones of 2015. On the pricing front, the Z9 is priced quite similarly to its flagship competition, and is one of the more expensive devices on this list, but is certainly worth every penny.
- 5.2-inch IPS LCD display with 1920 x 1080 resolution, 423 ppi
- 2 GHz octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor
- 3 GB of RAM (Classic edition), 4 GB of RAM (Elite and Exclusive editions)

Elephone P9000
Elephone is another Chinese device manufacturer that is gaining a reputation for offering solid, mid-range to high-end smartphones at a fraction of the price when compared to its competitors. The latest smartphone from the company, the P9000, is one such device that strikes the perfect balance between specifications and price, and is definitely a phone worth keeping in mind.
The Elephone P9000 features a design that goes far beyond what its price point would suggest, with its metal frame and nearly bezel-less front. The black version of the device comes with a sand paper-like finish on the back that helps with the grip and handling experience, but can take some getting used to. Continuing with the trend of boasting features beyond its price point, the P9000 is powered by the octa-core MediaTek Helio P10 processor, backed by the Mali-T860 GPU and 4 GB of RAM. There is also a fingerprint scanner on the back, and a useful addition is an extra button on the side that apart from acting as a way to silence the device easily, works as a hotkey to quickly launch a preset application.
When considering all that the Elephone P9000 has to offer, what proves to be most impressive is the fact that this phone is currently priced at just $245, which is significantly cheaper than any smartphone that the Elephone P9000 may call its competition. If network compatibility and other considerations aren't negative factors, the P9000 is definitely a device worth considering.
- 5.5-inch IPS LCD display with 1920 x 1080 resolution, 401 ppi
- 2 GHz octa-core MediaTek Helio P10 processor
- 32 GB of on-board storage, microSD expansion up to 256 GB
- 13 MP rear camera, 8 MP front camera
- Non-removable 3,000 mAh battery
- Android 6.0 Marshmallow
Lenovo Vibe P1 Turbo
Lenovo has been making a name for itself with some fantastic mid-range offerings, one of which is the Vibe P1 Turbo. The Vibe P1 Turbo isn't actually all that different from the Vibe P1, with the Turbo moniker indicating just an additional gig of RAM. All other specifications and features remain the same, and we can only assume Lenovo released two variants to compensate for different markets.
Speaking of specifications, the Vibe P1 Turbo comes with an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, which is backed by the Adreno 405 GPU and 3 GB of RAM. The device comes with a fingerprint sensor up front, which is works quite well, but may not be as fast as some other scanners out there. The Vibe P1 Turbo is a mid-range smartphone through and through, but its biggest selling point is its huge 5,000 mAh battery which allows for at least 2 days of battery life comfortably.
The Lenovo Vibe P1 Turbo is relatively affordable as well, currently priced at $357. So if you are looking for a solid mid-range smartphone with a beautiful design, decent specifications, and great battery life, the Vibe P1 Turbo could be the device for you.
- 5.5-inch IPS LCD display with 1920 x 1080 resolution, 401 ppi
- 1.5 GHz octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 processor
- 3 GB of RAM

ZUK is a Hong Kong-based smartphone manufacturer that is backed by Lenovo, and the companies first effort, the ZUK Z1, is a solid mid-range smartphone that runs Cyanogen. Under the hood, the ZUK Z1 comes with a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor, backed by the Adreno 330 GPU and 3 GB of RAM, which continues to be a reliable processing package, and using it is a smart move on the part of ZUK.
The ZUK Z1 doesn't pack a whole lot in terms of extras, but does come with a fingerprint scanner up front, which is as fast as accurate as expected. As is the case with other mid-range smartphones from Lenovo, including the Vibe P1 Turbo above, the big selling point of this device is the large 4,100 mAh battery that it packs, that allows for 2 days of battery life quite comfortably with average use. Of course, its other attractive feature is its software package, with the phone running Cyanogen OS 12.1, based on Android 5.1 Lollipop. The highly-customizable software package is one of the most liked around, and perfectly complements the older processor to allow for a smooth and snappy experience.
The Lenovo ZUK Z1 is currently priced at $300, so if you are looking for a reliable smartphone with decent specifications, great software experience, and fantastic battery life, the ZUK Z1 is a good choice.

honor 7
Huawei has a slew of mid-range and high-end smartphones, and the company continues to expand their portfolio with new devices ever so often. One such series is the honor line, which falls under the "premium but affordable" segment, with one of the best options from the series being the honor 7.
The honor 7 was the first smartphone of the series that made the move to a full metal unibody construction, and the backing comes with a ceramic-like finish that counters the slipperiness that is usually associated with metal phones. Under the hood, the honor 7 packs an octa-core HiSilicon Kirin 935 processor, clocked at 2.2 GHz, and backed by the Mali-T628 GPU and 3 GB of RAM. And with the software optimized for their in-house processing package, you get a smooth and snappy experience overall. There aren't a lot of extras in terms of hardware, but there is a fingerprint scanner on the back that works very well.
The honor 7 is another solid offering that gets a lot right with its beautiful display, impressive battery life, fantastic fingerprint scanner, good camera, and useful additions like the swipe gestures and the SmartKey button. The device is currently available for around $400.
- 5.2-inch IPS LCD display with 1920 x 1080 resolution, 424 ppi

Facebook Execs Attempt to Kill UK Financial Guru's Crypto Ads Lawsuit out of Court
- Facebook executives attended a meeting in the early hours of Wednesday morning in the hopes of averting an embarrassing lawsuit from millionaire Martin Lewis.
- Mr Lewis is hoping to sue the social media leviathan on the grounds of defamation after scammers used his image in ads for fake bitcoin schemes.
On Wednesday, two Facebook executives joined an early morning meeting to discuss an on-going lawsuit from British millionaire Martin Lewis, who has accused the company of defaming his image following a number of advertisements for bitcoin scams.
Calling in from Facebook's San Francisco offices at 4:30 am local time, they joined a conference in which Steve Hatch, the vice president of Facebook Northern Europe, was already present. The unnamed executives remained throughout the entirety of the two-hour long consultation, during which attempts were made to reach an out-of-court settlement with the British consumer rights champion.
Mr Lewis' defamation claim centers around a number of fake ads for bitcoin schemes, which used his image to erroneously lend legitimacy. The social media giant has notably banned cryptocurrency-related ads from its platform, but scammers often circumvent the ban through clever marketing tricks.
The millionaire financial expert has stated that he intends to take his legal battle to the High Court following a lackluster response from Facebook to his takedown requests. He is said to represent a formidable foe for the social media giant, having the trust of the British public, a huge following, and the services of renowned media lawyer Mark Lewis behind him.
Mr Lewis, who has a total net worth of £125 million (roughly $168 million), has made it clear that he does not wish to profit from the case, stating that any damages will be donated to anti-scam charities.
Despite his fierce stance, however, it seems that the issue may yet be settled out of court, with Mr Lewis having described the meeting on Wednesday as "constructive."
"They get the problem. They get they've been doing far too many scam ads. They get that they're out of control."
Explaining that his first and foremost ambition was to put a stop to such ads and "put right what has gone wrong", he continued:
"I am hopeful. My biggest question is not their attitude – it's whether they can actually deliver, whether they can actually stop the scams happening."
Facebook certainly seems to be taking the issue seriously, with its chief technology officer, Mike Schroepfer, telling British lawmakers only last month that it was hoping to implement facial recognition and other developing technologies to weed out fake ads.
As covered, the social media titan is reportedly looking into launching its own cryptocurrency. Reports suggest the company is "very serious" about it, with former PayPal president and early bitcoin investor David Marcus leading a team exploring the issue.

Tarryall Reservoir is fed by Tarryall Creek, which makes its way down from the Park Range before merging with the South Platte downstream of the reservoir east of Jefferson Colorado.
The creek itself is tough to access on foot or via ATV/4X4 upstream of Tarryall Reservoir, making the reservoir an extremely popular spot with fisherman and anglers.
The reservoir itself was drained in 2002 in order to conduct much needed repairs on the dam, and by 2005 the reservoir had refilled and was open to the public once more.
Aerial footage of Tarryall Reservoir in Colorado by Aerial Solutions
The Tarryall region was named by miners when gold was discovered in the creek bed back in 1859, and it seemed like a good place to stay a while. Gold nuggets were fairly plentiful all along the creek, and most the size of large peas. Gold miners who reached the area later and found it already claimed nicknamed the area "Graball", as the first group of miners was extremely possessive of the rich gold strike they'd found. The latecomers actually moved further on to settle in the Fairplay area, obviously so named as a dig at the Tarryall mining crews.
Most anglers visit the Tarryall Reservoir in search of rainbows, browns, and pike, all of which are found in plentiful numbers and reasonably large sizes. Boating is permitted, and nearly the whole shoreline is accessible on foot, as well as a few miles upstream of the inlet from Tarryall Creek. The inlet has some nice pools and riffles to ply your flies and lures as well, so it's well worth the visit if you are already planning to fish the reservoir.
Click the map icons to get directions to fishing spots, boat ramps and real-time USGS stream flow data
The reservoir has public access from Highway 285 south from Jefferson, Colorado. Park in the designated parking area and take a short hike along the banks to find a prime fishing spot, or get your boat in the water and look for a likely stretch of water while saving your legs the hike. Fishing from the dam is permitted, and there are no restrictions above or below for where you can fish unless otherwise posted. Don't hesitate to try quiet, out of the way spots along the edges of the reservoir, as the trout like to feed here early in the day.
The inlet of the Tarryall Creek and below the dam for a couple miles both offer fast fishing action, and the rainbows and browns of the area like to strike frequently. If you are planning to visit the reservoir anyway, a quick trip over to the creek often yields very promising results, too. Just make sure you observe and respect all posted private property signs, and don't fish on private land without permission. Courtesy and respect are the two watch words of Colorado anglers, and if you are a visitor to the region you would do well to observe these principles yourself.
May to November is prime fishing season on the Tarryall Reservoir, with the major hatches being terrestrials, tricos, PMDs, caddis, midges, and BWOs in that order. The best time of day to visit the reservoir is about mid morning until the middle of the afternoon according to local experts, so plan to arrive about 10 a.m. and to pack it in for the day about 3 p.m. or a little after.
The reservoir is extremely popular for fishing during the summer months, so if you want to avoid the rush you may want to visit in the spring and fall. Winter fishing is permitted, but naturally you would be visiting for ice fishing on the reservoir as opposed to fly fishing.
Here are the best fly patterns for the reservoir by order of importance:
PMX (peacock #10)
Schroeder's Parachute Hopper (tan #8)
Rojo Midge (black/red #18)
TH 20 Incher (peacock #12, #14)
RS2 (black #18, #20)
Bead Head Barr Emerger (gray #18)
Always remember to check local conditions before setting out so you can match the hatch exactly.
Pack your waders for the shallows or the creek and inlet, and take a 8' 6" rod with a 4 weight on it for the Tarryall Reservoir. Terrestrials, tricos, PMDs, Caddis, midges, and BWOs are the major hatches of the year there, so pack your flies accordingly.
There aren't too many area shops that publish Tarryall Reservoir fishing reports. A few to check out are listed below.
Fishing regulations on the reservoir and the creek are standard Colorado Division of Wildlife rules, but be careful going further downstream or upstream of the reservoir, as much of the land here is private property along the creekside. Be sure to check your location carefully, and always obtain permission before fishing on private land.
Tarryall Reservoir isn't too far from Denver, so Denver International Airport is most likely your best bet for a cheap flight nearby. As far as accommodations are concerned, you can stay in Denver and drive the 2 hours out to the reservoir, or find a B&B or hotel in Jefferson for a reasonable price.
There are campgrounds along the Tarryall Creek near Ute Creek and Double Eagle if you don't mind roughing it. Don't forget to check local vacation rentals outside ski season as well, particularly in Avon and Vail. You never know what kind of deals will be available in the summertime when ski season is over.

You've done your research, found your niche, written your business plan, and now you're ready to start executing your work-at-home dream.
But where do you start?
Here are some simple steps all entrepreneurs must take before launching their business.
1. First, you will need to choose a business structure.
Sole Proprietor, Partnership, Limited Liability Company (LLC), S Corporation, or Corporation. Each structure has its pros and cons, meeting with a lawyer or an accountant can help you to determine which structure best suits your personal needs.
2. Apply for an Employee Identification Number (EIN).
Sole proprietors don't need an EIN, but if you want to set up a separate bank account for your business, you will need to apply for one. Applying is easy, and it's free, just go to this IRS link.
3. Check zoning laws.
Before you start your home-based business, you will need to check the zoning ordinances in your area. Check with your city or county government; some residential zoning laws forbid setting up a home-based business.
4. Name your business.
If your company name is something other than your own name, you will need to apply for a DBA – Doing Business As. You will need to do some research to make sure that someone else hasn't already taken that name. To apply for your DBA, Google your county clerk's office and fill out the appropriate paperwork.
Not sure what to name your business? This post has some useful tips for choosing a business name.
5. Apply for any applicable licenses or permits.
Some occupations like realtors and electricians require state certifications and or licenses.
6. Apply for sales tax permits.
Determine if you need to charge sales tax on your product or service by calling or emailing your States Comptroller's Office. If it is determined that you need to charge sales tax, they can direct you to the appropriate forms to fill out.
7. Set up a business checking and savings account.
Keeping your business finances separate from your personal finances is an easy way to stay organized in your business. And depending on which business structure you choose, it may be a necessity. Shop around for banks that don't charge service fees. Another area to consider is the methods of payment. If you're going to accept credit cards, you will need to apply for a third-party payment processing account. Not sure of your options? Check out this post for payment processing platforms.
8. Home office.
Designate a space in your home for your office. Set up a second phone line (if needed), a printer and scanner, and computer hookup. Don't forget about organization too. You'll need to have file folders for invoices, receipts, contracts, documents, and more. For more tips on setting up your workspace, see this article.
9. Post office box.
If you choose to market your business via email marketing, you will need to include an address on your mailings. If you want to keep your home address private, then you should set up a post office box for this reason. You may also choose to list your P.O. box on items like direct mailings, invoices, and company letterhead.
10. Set up your website.
To be competitive as a home business owner, you need to have a website. Having an online presence helps you attract more clients; it gives you a place to showcase your work, list your services, and testimonials, and it makes you look more professional. Don't worry, setting up a website is easy and affordable. This post has step-by-step instructions that will have you up and running in no time — and it's very affordable!
Remember to save money before starting your new home-based business, not only does it take money to set up and run your business, but you may not see any profits for months or even years.
Final note. These are just some of the steps that aspiring entrepreneurs need to take, there may be other aspects for your specific business type that you need to consider. When in doubt consult with an attorney, an accountant, and a business consultant to be that you have all of your bases covered.
Ready to move on to the next step? Here are some articles on how to get your first client.

Chicago partner James Lundy discussed "Incident Response: Planning for and Reacting to Potential Events" at the IA Watch's 5th Annual Cybersecurity for Financial Services Conference on October 6, 2017. He was joined by a Senior Managing Director from FTI Consulting.
The issue of cybersecurity continues to be a hot topic for financial services companies, particularly as the SEC increases its focus on data breaches and other cyber-related issues. A company's communications to clients, counterparties, vendors – and regulators – in the light of such an incident can make a considerable difference in mitigating potential repercussions. Jim discussed these and other issues from the perspective of how to manage incident response in light of the strengthening interest of regulators (such as the SEC) on financial services companies' cyber policies, procedures, processes, controls, and remedial efforts.

Aww…People Think About Me. And For Totally Different And Unrelated Reasons.
So, a few days ago I received three different messages from three different people that went out of their way to show/tell me something that reminded them of me. And that just makes my heart all mushy.
My photographer buddy, Tom, thinks of me when he buys india ink because he knows I'm a sucker for the stuff.
My friend Amy discovered this amazing Thai tea thing-a-ma-bob and thought of me because she knows I'm a sucker for the stuff. I haven't tried it yet, but next time I find myself in the vicinity of a Fresh & Sleazy you can bet your sweet Thai tooth I am going to try one out.
And my lovely lady, who is one of the few people that is privy to all my crude, perverted and disgusting humor, found this gem. With a name like Fart Magazine, would you expect anything less? I certainly hope not. Now, if only they'd provide a list of the songs on that mix cd.
Thanks for reading!
– Jeff
