title: Lg g pad 5 tablet

text:
Android tablets are no longer sold as much as before. This results in manufacturers waiting longer to release a successor. The last LG G Pad was announced over two years ago, the G Pad 4 had an 8.0-inch Android tablet with a Full HD display. It seems that this middle-class tablet will soon have a successor in the form of an LG G Pad 5.
On September 17, 2019, LG Electronics applied for a trademark from the USPTO (the United States Patent and Trademark Office) for the G Pad 5 brand name. The application has now also been included in the EUIPO (European Union Intellectual Property Office) database. The trademark is classified as Class 9, with the description; ‘handy electronic devices; tablet computers; computer; electronic notepad.
LG G Pad 5 specifications
The first specifications were published online last week. XDA Developers revealed that this tablet is under development, codenamed LM-T600L. The display is enlarged to 10.1 inches, the resolution remains the same. The chipset is also being improved. Although it is a three-year-old processor, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 with 4GB RAM and 32GB storage memory delivers reasonable performance. Certainly compared to the Snapdragon 435 chipset used by its predecessor.
Furthermore, a fingerprint scanner will be present, this was not yet the case with its predecessor. The tablet PC runs on the Android 9 Pie operating system. Naturally, support is provided for 4G LTE internet. NFC will not be supported by the LG G Pad 5.
Furthermore, a leaked product render shows that LG’s new portable computer will have a single front camera. No information is yet known about the resolution. You can see that the Android tablet has a rounded housing, the screen itself is not rounded.
Now that LG has applied for the trademark in both America and Europe, it seems obvious that the G Pad 5 for 2020 will be officially introduced. No information is currently known about the price. Its predecessor received a suggested retail price of around € 300. Given the LG G Pad 5 specifications, it is obvious that this tablet will receive a comparable mid-range price tag.

title: Capsular contracture when the breast implant fails

text:
It's been 2 years, one month and 20 days since I had my double mastectomy. Life is good. Things are back to normal… or rather the 'after cancer new normal' as many survivors would say. I have moved past my anger for having had to go through chemo and radiation and am mentally myself again - taking on many new challenges. But today I was offered a little reminder that although my life is pretty close to what it once was (even my hair is only about 2 or 3 inches short of being back to pre-chemo length), the effects due to the big C will never be far from the forefront.
I had a doctor appointment this morning with my reconstruction surgeon to talk about the pain and tightness in my right breast. It hurts all the time and I can't sleep on my right side. It sits on my chest differently than the left one, but I figured that was due to the radiation - which forever shrunk, shriveled and screwed up my skin in that area. Well, apparently, I have what is called capsular contracture.
“The main long term problem after implant surgery is that a fibrous capsule may form around the implant. Although silicone is safe, it is still foreign to the body. The normal reaction of the body to any foreign tissue is to form a fibrous covering around it. The fibrous covering is known as a capsule.
Over some years, the capsule can shrink, squeezing the implant. Doctors call this capsular contracture. It happens in about 1 in 6 patients. It makes the breast painful and hard, and changes its shape. If the shape changes a lot, you may have to have the implant taken out and replaced.”
“Capsular contracture: Once a breast implant is in place, scar tissue forms around it, creating what's called a tissue capsule. These tissue capsules usually are soft or slightly firm and not noticeable. But in a small number of women, a hard tissue capsule forms that can be painful and distort the shape of the breast. This is called capsular contracture.
Research has shown that implants with a textured surface can help reduce the risk of capsular contracture compared to implants with a smooth surface.
Radiation therapy given after reconstruction surgery can increase the risk of a scar tissue capsule forming.
If capsular contracture does happen, a surgeon can break up the scar tissue and replace the implant if necessary.”
So, as suggested by my doctor, another surgery is in my future. He said that it will only get worse over time so replacing the implants necessary.
Now where am I going to find the time to put a surgery and recovery on my calendar?

title: 5g networks trump wants apple to build

text:
President Trump just met with Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) CEO Tim Cook.
Because Trump wants American-made 5G technology. And he’s asking Apple to get involved with a 5G network.
Go here to discover Apple’s 5G supplier.
On Wednesday, President Trump flew to Apple’s new $1 billion campus in Austin, Texas.
For News is reporting that he asked Tim Cook to develop telecommunications infrastructure for 5G wireless networks in the U.S.
The 5th generation wireless networks are being deployed in 100 cities across America. And this includes places like Cleveland, Dallas, Orlando and Las Vegas.
The new 5G networks promise to deliver 50x – 100x faster wireless speeds. These hyper speeds would allow you to download a full movie on your phone in a few seconds.
There’s one big problem: China is a leading supplier of 5G infrastructure technologies.
Trump doesn’t want to allow China to build America’s new 5th generation wireless network for two reasons.
First, he’s concerned that this could allow the Chinese government to spy on Americans. And it could make it even easier for Chinese companies to conduct corporate espionage.
Second, Trump realizes that American companies will spend $100 billion rolling out new 5G networks. Everyone knows that Trump’s goal is to “Make America Great Again.” And that means having each 5G network built by American companies.
After meeting with Tim Cook, Trump tweeted . . .
Trump and Cook have developed a close relationship in recent months. And this could be very good news for Apple shareholders (and folks who own this little-known stock).
That’s why Trump is asking Apple to help secure America’s new 5G networks.
Apple has never been involved in wireless infrastructure. Instead, the company has always focused on consumer devices including iPhones, iPads, the iWatch and services including iTunes.
Getting into 5G infrastructure would be a big departure from Apple’s core business. However, it could also offer an explosive growth market for a company that’s struggled to develop the next hot consumer electronics device.
There’s also another sign of Trump’s cozy relationship with Cook.
The President is considering giving Apple an exemption on tariffs that are being placed on imports from China. And this exemption would be crucial for keeping the costs down on the already expensive iPhone.
Right now, America is getting ready to roll out the new 5G networks in 2020. And Trump is making sure it’s American companies that will make all the profits.
That’s why I’m hosting the 5G Profit Project.
Inside you’ll discover the top undiscovered technology stocks to buy now.
These little-known companies could be the biggest winners as American companies spend $100 billion on next-generation wireless networks.

Connections & Reflections: A Visual Learning Gestalt
Unfortunately, I have not been able to post in proper sequences this term, so please forgive the late entry here. Also am hoping the size of the visual works better, it shows up fine on the preview….am hoping it does not shrink as it did on my last post[!]
An attempt at a visual gestalt: Reflections on ETEC 540
This is my attempt at constructing a visual representation of my own personal learning trajectory through ETEC 540. I really believe that the more complex the information, the more important the visual component [as a way of communicating] becomes.
Ideas around Connections: New Knowledge
The ideas I was working with here including trying to map out how course content [the four modules] and topic areas [the remediation of writing and the legacy of orality] tracked through western cultural and political history, fused with my own prior knowledge and with the incredible resources available [including other students and online media] to create new knowledge for me.
Fusion of Content:
Content is so rich in this course [including contributions from fellow students] that all that is shown here are broad strokes and highlights of major subjects, authors and texts within ETEC 540. It is not meant as a comprehensive representation of the course, but more as a visual aid, a conceptual window into one student’s personal learning path, reflections that fused with conceptual connections, to form a kind of visual gestalt.
Thank you! to everyone for all the information shared, learned a tremendous amount from those around me in this course, as usual.

Delphine Jasmin-Belisle outside Whitby Abbey |
Staff at the abbey said they had not heard of metal detecting taking place in the grounds before and while signs could be replaced, the damage within the grounds was far more serious. Delphine Jasmin-Belisle said: “Little things like that are frustrating. We can replace signage but for me as the supervisor of the site and having a background in archaeology, the metal detecting is far worse. “There was some excavation in the 1920s and 90s but there are large parts that have not been explored and they are particularly dangerous. If someone was to go with a metal detector and have a look around with a shovel we don’t know what we could lose. “They could have found a coin a visitor dropped last year or a ring from the 12th century.” Whitby police say the incidents took place between Saturday 2 and Sunday 3 March. PC Melanie Smith added: “Whitby Abbey is a historic property and it is beyond comprehension what anyone has to gain by damaging our heritage.But that is exactly what artefact hunters do, day in day out on historic sites all over the country. What is really beyond comprehension is that British law lets them. As for why they do it, its to find metal objects which they greedily keep or flog off, that - PC Melanie Smith - is what they have to gain. they selfishly gain, the rest of us lose something.

Eaton Intelligent Power Manager plug-in for Citrix’ XenCenter Server integrates virtualization and power management
Server virtualization enables companies to increase efficiency and uptime while lowering hardware capital expenses and operations spending. It also poses a number of significant power management opportunities.
Eaton’s Intelligent Power Manager (IPM) can help IT managers reap the benefits of virtualization. In particular, it comes with a plug-in for Citrix’ XenCenter Server, currently a well-positioned virtualization management solution in the market. It enables IT managers to administer their backup power and power distribution assets in sophisticated ways via the same console they use to manage their physical and virtual servers.
This technology brief discusses the factors behind virtualization’s skyrocketing popularity, as well as the power management difficulties that virtualized data centers often encounter. It then provides an overview of how IPM helps mitigate those complexities, along with detailed step-by-step instructions for installing and using the IPM plug-in for XenCenter.
Virtualization and power management
Eager to save money and time while maintaining continual uptime, businesses are rapidly implementing server virtualization. In fact, nearly 80 percent of server workloads supported by x86 hardware will be running on virtual machines (VMs) by 2016, according to analyst firm Gartner Inc.
Given the many and significant benefits it offers, virtualization’s exploding popularity is easy to understand. Chief among those benefits are these:
- Lower hardware capital expenses: Conventional data centers typically feature large numbers of lightly utilized servers. Converting those physical machines into virtual ones consolidates the number of power devices being used and significantly lowers server-related hardware spending.
- Easier hardware administration: Reducing physical servers lessens operational and capital expenses, by decreasing hardware purchase and administration burdens.
- More efficient use floor space: Consolidating servers through virtualization enables organizations to fit more processing and storage capacity into an existing footprint, delaying the need for costly construction projects.
- Enhanced availability: Server virtualization solutions equipped with “live migration” capabilities can relocate VMs from one host device to another quickly, enabling companies to keep critical applications up and running during power outages, hardware failures and maintenance procedures.
Power management challenges created by virtualization
Though it offers many compelling benefits to IT equipment, virtualization does complicate power management in a number of ways.
For example, many organizations use virtualization management software to administer host servers, VMs and more. At present, though, users of virtualization management suites must usually employ a separate set of management tools to monitor their power infrastructure, decreasing the productivity of their technicians and potentially delaying response times when problems occur.
Additionally, while live migration capabilities can move VMs dynamically from one host server to another under a variety of conditions, few such products offer built-in functionality for migrating virtual workloads automatically during power outages, when the function is most often needed.

ASC X9 Seeks Participants for Development of New Mobile Payments Standards
Standards Focus on Application Lifecycle Management and Payments to Persons
ANNAPOLIS, Md. – Aug. 19, 2020
The Accredited Standards Committee X9 Inc. (X9) today announced that it is seeking expert participants for two important projects. Two new mobile financial services standards, the third and fourth parts of a suite of standards (X9.134) for mobile banking and payments, will continue the process to adapt and augment ISO 12812 as a U.S. national standard. Additional participants who have interest in this area are invited to join the effort.
Mobile financial services (MFS) are an evolving and fragmented market with a broad range of solutions. The challenges in adapting the international standard for U.S. usage arise from the evolution of industry models since the 2017 release of ISO 12812, and from the fact that it is partly based on international perspectives that do not apply to the U.S. market. X9’s work includes the critical aspect of developing common terminology and basic principles for the design and operation of MFS. The X9 effort is tackling the different parts sequentially: this staggered approach ensures that all stakeholders have an opportunity to provide input on the areas that most directly affect them. X9 offers an overview of this work on its website.
X9.134 — Part 3 covers the lifecycle management of mobile apps. It addresses consumer protection considerations and seeks to build a safe environment to ensure consumer and merchant trust in MFS and allow mobile financial service providers (MFSPs) to manage their risks. It will include specific requirements applicable to all MFSPs, detailing the approach to secure fulfillment and operation of an MFS application throughout the various phases of its lifecycle (e.g., subscription, installation, usage and termination) in order to facilitate and promote interoperability, security and quality of MFS services.
X9.134 – Part 4, Mobile Payments to Persons, is a critical piece of this five-part standard, especially considering current U.S. market developments in P2P mobile payment solutions and the introduction of faster payment schemes. Part 4 will include specific requirements applicable to all MFSPs, detailing requirements, recommendations and guidance for offering services for mobile payments to individuals. Because mobile P2P is an evolving market, this standard seeks to remain flexible in order to support current and future technologies. Additionally, ISO-12812 – Part 4 was developed using Single European Payments Area card-based payment models, and therefore the X9 standard requires modifications to reflect the U.S. market and its different user experiences.
“As availability and use of mobile financial services continue to grow in the United States, we have an increasing need for specific American National Standards to provide requirements and guidelines. Without a full range of standards, this mobile expansion has been market driven and lacking focus,” said David Nichamoff, vice president of innovation at P97 Networks and chair of X9’s Mobile Banking and Payments working group. “Development and adoption of these X9 standards will benefit all stakeholders – such as financial institutions, app developers, card issuers, acquirers, merchants — and the marketplace in general.”
About the Accredited Standards Committee X9 Inc.
The Accredited Standards Committee X9 Inc. is a non-profit organization accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) to develop and maintain national and – through ISO — international standards for the financial services industry. The subjects of X9’s standards include: retail, mobile and business payments; corporate treasury functions; block chain technology; processing of electronic legal orders issued to financial institutions; tracking of financial transactions and instruments; financial transaction messaging (ISO 8583 and 20022); quantum computing; PKI; checks; cloud; data breach notification and more.
X9 acts as the U.S. Technical Advisory Group (TAG) for ISO TC68 (Financial), TC321 (E-Commerce) and TC322 (Sustainable Finance) and performs the secretariat functions for ISO TC68. Please visit our website (www.x9.org) for more information.


title: 91369 prof wont let me take grad mathematical stats

text:
yenhcz1995 Posted April 9, 2017 Posted April 9, 2017 Hello, I'm a junior who plans to apply to stats phd programs next fall. I took the undergrad mathematical stats at my school and wanted to take the grad version (since there is only 1 semester of undergrad math stats) in the fall, but the professor refuses to allow me to take it. The only thing he asked for was my GPA (~3.75) and coursework and, in my humble opinion, his decision makes very little sense. I got an A in the undergrad math stats course and have also taken grad real analysis, complex analysis, topology this year, all with A's. I mentioned all of this to him and he said my grades in calc III/IV (got B+'s freshman year) are a concern and that I should instead take "easier" courses to get a better GPA if I want to apply to grad school. It's also not the case that the grad math stats course is somehow significantly harder than the undergrad version. They both use the same book (Casella & Berger), so it's overall a bit strange that the prof believes I am totally unprepared for it. In any case, I don't want to argue with him, so I decided to just not take the course. How bad do you think this will affect my application? It looks like I'll only be applying with 1 semester of mathematical stats now. Is it fine if I just stick to pure math/CS courses for the fall? My school doesn't really have a dedicated stats dept so there aren't really many options among stats courses.
Innominate Posted April 9, 2017 Posted April 9, 2017 (edited) 1 hour ago, yenhcz1995 said: Is it fine if I just stick to pure math/CS courses for the fall? I'm a student, but having just gone through the application process and speaking to lots of admissions people I'd say this is unlikely to hurt you. Mathematical preparation, and evidence of ability, is very important to departments, but they don't seem to really care if you have a ton of stats under your belt. One department head flat out told me he doesn't care if applicants have taken even an intro class. Some would rather just teach that stuff to you themselves and others are understanding of the fact that access to advanced stats can vary even among elite undergrad institutions. I also wouldn't encourage you to take "easy" classes to "boost your GPA", even though it is a bit lower than the average at the best programs. Adcoms aren't stupid, they'll notice if you take basket weaving and pottery, but you can definitely take something like data structures or numerical linear algebra, etc. which aren't technically stats but will boost your breadth. If you really took graduate real analysis your junior year and got an A your class choices are unlikely to be limiting. Edited April 9, 2017 by Innominate yenhcz1995 1
yenhcz1995 Posted April 10, 2017 Author Posted April 10, 2017 Thanks for the response Innominate. I guess it isn't as big of a deal as I thought. On 4/9/2017 at 3:32 AM, Innominate said: you can definitely take something like data structures or numerical linear algebra, etc. which aren't technically stats but will boost your breadth. Yeah, I am a pure math major and CS minor who has mostly taken classes in pure math. I actually don't have a lot of programming experience (only 2-3 classes) since I am more interested in applying to grad schools on the theory side. I have like no background in R or the similar applied stats languages. I'm hoping this isn't that big of a deal, but I think I'll take a class or two on programming-related things if I can.
Innominate Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 Regarding programming: At the programs I visited I usually asked what I could do to improve before I started, and learning more R was the most common response. But this isn't a big factor for admissions, it's because you'll need to those skills to work in most RA positions. So for that reason I think more programming (especially R) is worth your time - you'll likely have to learn it now or later.
TakeruK Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 Another thing you can do is have one of your letter writers say something like you've taken all of mathematical stats courses available to you at your department. Different schools have different course availabilities so the absolute number of courses taken isn't as important sometimes. If you have an undergrad research advisor, you could ask this person to add some evaluation of your coursework (i.e. you took all the classes you could take) to their letter. At my undergrad school, there were a lot of restrictions on undergrads taking grad classes. You were basically limited to 1 and only if you have already completed > 75% of your upper level undergrad requirements. This is silly, because it basically means you can only take grad classes in your very last semester and grad classes sometimes are offered only once per year or once per two years, so if the schedule doesn't line up, then you are out of luck. I was able to get into one class with special permission that required me to get signatures from three different authority figures in the department and campus-wide! Argh. At my current school, anyone can take a graduate class, and sometimes freshmen/first year undergrads are in my classes. I am sure that the admissions committees at the schools you will eventually apply to have seen the large range of possibilities and they won't hold this against you.

From Silver Splash to Dark Form: A Guide to Scindapsus Care
Are you a lover of all things vining? Tired of your pothos and ready for something with a little more *pizzaz*? Today we're diving into the Scindapsus plant family, and I think you’re going to love it!
Scindapsus plants are native to Southeast Asia and are characterized by their vining growth habit, heart-shaped leaves, and splashy variegated patterns. They're incredibly versatile and can be grown as hanging plants or trained to climb up trellises or moss poles.
When it comes to water, Scindapsus plants prefer to be watered thoroughly once the soil has dried at least halfway, if not more. If you struggle with knowing when to water, err on the side of underwatering instead of overwatering. Scindapsus are great in that they’ll communicate their thirst with curling leaves. Always avoid letting the plant sit in water or waterlogged soil.
In terms of light, Scindapsus prefer bright, indirect light. However, they can adapt to moderate light levels. Avoid direct sunlight, as this can scorch those beautiful leaves.
For soil, a well-draining potting mix is key. Scindapsus plants prefer soil that's rich in organic matter, but not too heavy or compacted. Remember, they don’t want to be sitting in water for long periods of time!
Humidity is beneficial but not required for Scindapsus. They will acclimate well to household humidity levels just fine if you don’t have a humidifier nearby.
Propagating Scindapsus Plants
What's better than a plant that easily makes more plants? Not much, in my opinion! You can easily propagate your Scindapsus through stem cuttings.
Choose a healthy stem that has at least two or three nodes and cut the stem just below a node using a sharp, sterile knife or scissors. Remove the lower leaves to expose the lower nodes and place your cutting in a small jar of water in a place that gets bright, indirect light.
Within a few weeks you should see roots forming! Be sure to change the water once a week and wait until you have a least several inches of root growth before repotting into a well-draining potting mix. If you have questions, we're here to help! Call us, DM us on Instagram, or stop into the shop.
With their beautiful patterns and easy care, Scindapsus are perfect for anyone looking to add a touch of green to their home or office. Which one will you add to your plant collection?
The Scindapsus exotica, pictured above, boasts gorgeously variegated leaves, with bright, prominent silver variegation that takes over most of the leaf. It’s a striking option for anyone who loves unique, yet easy-to-care-for vining plants.
This beauty has wide, heart-shaped leaves in a lovely shade of green. Look closely, and you’ll see slight veining through the leaf that adds dimension.
This Scindapsus can easily be mistaken for the exotica. It’s splashed with mottled silver throughout the leaf but is slightly more subtle than the exotica. This variety will definitely add some dimension to your collection of green.
Scindapsus Truebii Moonlight
Another popular member of the Scindapsus family is the truebii moonlight. Instead of wide, heart-shaped leaves, this plant offers a more elongated leaf. People buy it for the glossy, silvery greenish-blue hue and love it for its easy care.
Scindapsus Truebii Dark Form
If you’re into those ~moody~ vibes, the truebii dark form is a great choice. This Scindapsus has pointed, deep green leaves that can appear almost black in certain lighting. Pair it with a black pot for dark vibes or a light-colored pot to really let those leaves be the showstopper in the room.
Scindapsus Pictus Argyraeus
Sometimes referred to as a satin pothos, this velvety green leaf is flecked with silver in a more demure way than the silver splash or exotica. But don’t be fooled, the argyraeus is stunning to look at, especially when overflowing in a hanging pot.
If the Scindapsus truebii moonlight just isn't quite *fancy* enough for you, try the silver hero! This plant's silver leaves are matte and sparkly, perfect for anyone who loves a little glamour in their lives. So, everyone.
Join the Scindapsus Fan Club
No matter which Scindapsus plant you choose, all varieties of this family are simple to care for. They make a great step up from other beginner house plants and provide some major interest with their silver splashes and vining habit.
Which one do you like most? I currently have the truebii moonlight and exotica, with the dark form and argyraeus next on my list!
Come see us this weekend for the best pick of the many Scindapsus varieties in store. We also have a huge variety of cute new pot options that are sure to fit anyone's style. Find the Scindapsus that speaks to you and let us repot it for free when you pick up the plant and pot together!

title: The courts give creditors a powerful new weapon to fight debtors

text:
One of the most frustrating aspects of collections that creditors face, is dealing with a debtor who unquestionably knows that the debt is due and owing, but who spitefully forces the creditor to proceed with costly litigation to collect their money.
This type of debtor usually has no remorse for his debt and will even go so far as to hire an attorney to complicate and stall the litigation for as long as possible.
Most debtor’s attorneys hired to stall a collection case, know that the only punishment he and his client face for such tactics, is potential liability for the attorney’s fees incurred by the creditor during litigation.
However, liability for a creditor’s attorney’s fees is not a certainty , but rather is based upon the creditor’s ability to produce a signed contract by the debtor containing an attorney’s fees provision.
Generally, only one-half of our clients are able to produce such contracts, and of the ones that are, only about one-half of those actually collect their attorney’s fees from the debtor.
This is because the debtor will typically offer a settlement of his debt on the eve of trial which does not include reimbursement for attorney’s fees, and the creditor frequently accepts the offer to get the matter settled and avoid the trial.
As is evident from the proceeding, creditors face a very frustrating situation in that there is very little legal punishment available to them to motivate a debtor to settle his debt expediently.
However, I am very pleased to report that all of that has changed with the California Code Of Civil Procedure, Section 128.7. This statute, which applies to all complaints, petitions and motions filed on or after January 1, 1995, allows debtors and their attorneys to now be punished where:
(1) the debtor or his attorney’s primary purpose for filing a document with the court is for an improper purpose, such as to harass or to cause unnecessary delay or needless increase in the cost of litigation. (It is the intent of the Legislature that courts shall vigorously use its sanctions authority to deter such improper conduct or comparable conduct by others similarly situated.); (2) the debtor files a document that contains defenses or claims that are not warranted by existing law or that contain frivolous arguments; (3)the debtor uses allegations and/or factual contentions that have no evidentiary support; (4)the debtor denies the creditor’s factual contentions and said denial has no evidentiary support.
Examples of the types of motions and pleading that could lead to the imposition of these sanctions by the court are; where the debtor files a cross-complaint against the creditor for violation of consumer protection laws, intentional infliction of emotional distress, fraud, tortious action allowing for punitive damages, etc.
Other types of sanctionable actions by the debtor and his attorney include the purposeful setting of creditor’s deposition on a Sunday, or the filing of repeated challenges to creditor’s complaint on small technical issues that are not necessary for the resolution of the matter.
Once a creditor files a “128.7” motion against the debtor, the hearing date for the motion is set thirty days into the future. The purpose of this is to give the debtor and his attorney an opportunity to withdraw their motion to avoid monetary sanctions being imposed against one or both of them for their conduct.
If the debtor and his attorney refuse to withdraw their document, and if the court finds them in violation of “128.7”, then the court may impose a variety of punishments against them. The court may:
1) impose a nonmonetary sanction against the attorney and his law firm such as striking the answer filed by them; 2) impose a monetary sanction against the attorney and his law firm ordering them to pay a fine directly to the court or to creditor’s attorney; 3) impose a monetary sanction against the debtor ordering him to pay a fine directly to the court or to creditor’s attorney.
What makes this new statute so powerful, is that it can be used directly against the debtor’s attorney to sanction him individually for filing harassing motions and pleadings with the court.
When the money is coming directly out of an attorney’s pocket, that attorney will be much less willing to risk filing ridiculous motions and pleadings intended for harassment purposes only.
Since this statute has taken effect, trial judges have reported hearing far fewer frivolous motions then prior to the statute being enacted.
Hooray for “128.7”!

title: Which vape kit is best suited for me

text:
Choosing a device best suited to you is the perfect way to make sure you have the best chances of whatever you’re trying to achieve.
Whether that’s reducing your nicotine intake, avoiding tar, burning tobacco or smoke; with the correct device this task is made much easier!
Beginners - Vape Pens
Vape pens are ideal for new vapers as they are convenient and normally operating easily with a single button to activate. When choosing a vape pen kit, it is important to bear in mind 3 factors – internal battery capacity, vapour production and tank capacity.
The internal battery, which is measured in mAh (Milliamp Hours); generally the higher capacity the battery is the longer it will last between charges.
Vapour production is down to personal preference; some people want to exhale loads of vapour – some would rather not produce more vapour than a cigarette. For most vape pens this is driven by the resistance of the coil – the lower the resistance, the more vapour produced with each draw.
Tank capacity means how much liquid your tank can hold at a time; TPD law, that came into effect in May, means that all tanks are now limited to a maximum of holding 2 ml of liquid although some companies offer expandable glass sections to increase this.
Intermediate – Box Mods
Looking for the next step after a pen style vape kit? Need extra battery life?
Intermediate kits offer you extra features and are usually housed in a box style unit! This is due to them either having bigger internal batteries or taking external 18650 batteries.
Some other features you will find include variable wattage/voltage control allowing you to change the rate the e liquid is heated allowing for larger clouds & hits, temperature control, quick charge features and much more.
Vapour production on these bigger units does increase as more power is being used to power the tank so therefore more liquid is being heated through!
Advanced – Box Mods / Mech Mods
For those of you starting to think about purchasing RDAs and making your own coils, you're going to need a slightly more powerful battery to power that!
Most bigger box mods such as the Smok Alien 220W or the Vaporesso Revenger require power from two 18650 batteries which means longer battery life and an extended power range which is perfect for regular tanks, RDAs, RTAs or RDTAs!
Cloud Chasers are seen using mechanical mods as these allow for higher power outputs than most regulated digital devices. Mechanical mods do require you to have some knowledge on Ohms law and is it is highly recommended that you have a read up online and speak with a member of staff in store for advice before committing to purchasing one.
Examples of Advanced Kits: Smok T-Priv, Vaporesso Revenger
The most recent data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) shows a 2.9% decrease from 2010-2015 of UK smokers down from 20.1% to 17.2%.
If you’re ever in the need of help with choosing which device is best suited to you, visit your nearest Evapo vape store and speak with one of our vastly knowledgeable and easily approachable members of staff!

title: Simple ways to invest in real estate part 3 of 5 real estate trading

text:
Buying real estate is about more than just finding a place to call home. Investing in real estate has become increasingly popular over the last 50 years and has become a common investment vehicle.
Although the real estate market has plenty of opportunities for making big gains, buying and owning real estate is a lot more complicated than investing in stocks and bonds. In this article, we'll go beyond buying a home and introduce you to real estate as an investment. PART 3 of 5: Real Estate Trading This is the wild side of real estate investment. Like the day traders who are leagues away from a buy-and-hold investor, the real estate traders are an entirely different breed from the buy-and-rent landlords. Real estate traders buy properties with the intention of holding them for a short period of time, often no more than three to four months, whereupon they hope to sell them for a profit. This technique is also called flipping properties and is based on buying properties that are either significantly undervalued or are in a very hot market. Pure property flippers will not put any money into a house for improvements; the investment has to have the intrinsic value to turn a profit without alteration or they won't consider it. Flipping in this manner is a short-term cash investment. If a property flipper gets caught in a situation where he or she can't unload a property, it can be devastating because these investors generally don't keep enough ready cash to pay the mortgage on a property for the long term. This can lead to continued losses for a real estate trader who is unable to offload the property in a bad market. A second class of property flipper also exists. These investors make their money by buying reasonably priced properties and adding value by renovating them. This can be a longer-term investment depending on the extent of the improvements. The limiting feature of this investment is that it is time intensive and often only allows investors to take on one property at a time.

Empowering the next generation to break the cycle of poverty through learning
Friendship Place partners with Freedom Readers for our Georgetown LEARNS program. Together, we aim to improve reading skills through one-to-one literacy tutoring sessions for elementary aged children all across Georgetown County. Along with the tutoring, our scholars are sent home with a book. As a part of Georgetown Learns our scholars are provided meal for their household.
We also collaborate with various community partners to make learning fun through educating our scholars on relevant life topics.
In South Carolina, only 34% of fourth-grade students scored at or above proficient in reading in 2019.
It is predicted that if a child is not reading proficiently in the 4th grade, he or she will have approximately a 78% chance of not catching up.
2/3 of students who cannot read proficiently by the end of the 4th grade will end up in jail or on welfare.
The cycle can be broken.
Our program cultivates essential qualities for lifelong success,
encourages exploration and fosters a growth mindset towards self-discovery.

Philip Day's fascinating film V for Vengeance, which tells the remarkable story of the background to Hitler's V weapons programmes, was enjoyed by an enthusiastic audience in the Geoffrey Page Centre at The Wing in Capel-le-Ferne.
The screening was the latest in a series of free Sunday afternoon events being held at The Memorial this autumn and will be followed this coming Sunday (27 October) by a fascinating double bill of documentaries by Kent's own Peter Williams.
The afternoon's showing, which begins at 1pm, will feature two films - They Fought the Few and Martha Gellhorn: On the Record, and promises to be fascinating viewing.
They Fought the Few highlights The friendship between RAF ace Bob Stanford Tuck and the Luftwaffe's top-scoring fighter pilot Adolf Galland, while the second film explores Martha Gellhorn's reports from the D-Day beaches.
There will be an interval between the two films and the Cockpit Cafe, Scramble Experienc and shop will be open as normal. The Wing is now operating winter hours and closing at 4pm.
On Sunday 3 November the Trust will welcome John Willis, documentary film maker, author and long-time supporter of the Memorial, who will talk about, and sign copies of, his latest book, Fighter Boy – The Many Lives of Geoffrey Page OBE, DSO, DFC and Bar.
It was Geoffrey Page, shot down and badly burned during the Battle of Britain, who later persuaded a group of people – the embryonic Battle of Britain Memorial Trust – to commission the National Memorial to the Few here at Capel-le-Ferne.

Light switches a semiconductor to a metal reversibly
Creating a metal with laser light
A group of researchers from the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society and the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin have found out that a semiconductor can be converted to a metal and back by light more easily and more quickly than previously thought. This discovery may increase the processing speed and simplify the design of many common technological devices.
From smartphones to computer processors – much of the technology we nowadays use heavily features transistors. They connect many of the different materials that make up these devices, and are essential for any kind of data processing. Because they are so important, scientists and engineers have long tried to optimize them by modifying their material properties, so that they can be used more flexibly. Now, a team of researchers the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society and the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin has found an important clue on how to achieve that.
Transistors are often made up of semiconductors, i.e. materials that conduct electricity, but not quite as well as metals. In common transistors, several semiconductors are combined to control an electrical current. Unfortunately, this limits the performance and size of the device they are built in to. “Basically, it would be ideal to have just one material that can do it all, whenever you need it”, says Julia Stähler, Professor at the Humboldt Universität zu Berlin, who led the study at the Fritz Haber Institute. Though the conductivity of semiconductors can be altered by a chemical process called „doping“, this technique, in which atoms of the semiconductor are replaced with other atoms, has limitations. The properties of a material can be changed, but will permanently remain so, while what is actually needed is a material that can switch between different properties. Julia Stähler’s group has found an answer to this question: light.
The scientists involved in this study have investigated the popular semiconductor zinc oxide and figured out that by hitting it with a laser, simply illuminating it, the semiconductor surface can be turned into a metal – and back again. This “photo-doping” is achieved by photoexcitation: the light modifies the electronic properties such that electrons suddenly move freely and an electrical current can flow, as it would in metal. Once the light is switched back off, the material also quickly goes back to being a semiconductor. “This mechanism is a completely new and surprising discovery,” says Lukas Gierster, lead author and PhD student in Stähler’s group. “Three things in particular have surprised us: for one, that photo- and chemical doping behave so much alike despite being fundamentally different mechanisms; two, that gigantic changes can be reached with very low laser power; and three, that switching the metal on and off happens so quickly.” The conversion to a metal only takes 20 femtoseconds, i.e. 20 millionth of a billionth of a second. The speed of the re-formation of the semiconductor was especially astonishing as it was orders of magnitude faster than in previous studies. In other words, light is an ultrafast switch that has the ‘force’ to alter the semiconducting properties of zinc oxide to a metallic behaviour reversibly.
This discovery could be highly beneficial for high-frequency device applications and ultrafast optically controlled transistors by increasing processing speed and simplifying device design. “Our gadgets could become faster – and thus smarter”, Julia Stähler says and adds: “Low-power, ultrafast switching of conduction properties will provide us with high speed and design flexibility.” She and her group are convinced that the same will prove true for other semiconducting materials, so that their discovery will likely reach much further than just zinc oxide.
