Small Business Endorses DeGenaro & Baldwin in Supreme Court Races

The NFIB OH PAC, the political action committee of NFIB in Ohio, has announced the endorsements of Justice Mary DeGenaro and Judge Craig Baldwin as the best candidates for seats on the Ohio Supreme Court for the 2018 Ohio general election this coming November.

Mary DeGenaro and Craig Baldwin will bring strong constitutional backgrounds and years of legal knowledge and experience to the Ohio Supreme Court. Both have a well-rounded career of practicing law on both sides of the bench for over 25 years.

“We are proud to support Justice DeGenaro and Judge Baldwin in their election campaigns for the Ohio Supreme Court,” said Roger Geiger, NFIB’s executive director and vice president in Ohio. “They both have a wealth of judicial experience and combine that with strong records of fairness and impartiality, they have the necessary experience and temperament to serve at the highest level. Their philosophy of judicial restraint lends itself to maintain a stable and predictable legal environment in Ohio.”

“I’m honored to receive the endorsement of the Ohio NFIB PAC. I appreciate the support of their statewide network of small businesses and will continue to work on the Ohio Supreme Court to serve all Ohioans,” said Justice DeGenaro.

“I am honored to receive the NFIB Ohio PAC endorsement. I have great respect for this organization, their membership and the work they do on behalf of Ohio businesses.  I appreciate their confidence in me,” said Judge Baldwin

In determining the endorsements, the NFIB OH PAC thoroughly vetted the candidates for Ohio Supreme Court through a member-driven process, including surveying members and personal interviews with the candidates. After completing the process, Justice Mary DeGenaro and Judge Craig Baldwin are the strongest choices for Ohio’s small business owners.

Background: The role of elective whole-pelvis radiotherapy (WPRT) remains controversial. Few studies have investigated it in Gleason grade group (GG) 5 prostate cancer (PCa), known to have a high risk of nodal metastases. Objective: To assess the impact of WPRT on patients with GG 5 PCa treated with external-beam radiotherapy (EBRT) or EBRT with a brachytherapy boost (EBRT + BT). Design, setting, and participants: We identified 1170 patients with biopsy-proven GG 5 PCa from 11 centers in the United States and one in Norway treated between 2000 and 2013 (734 with EBRT and 436 with EBRT + BT). Outcome measurements and statistical analysis: Biochemical recurrence-free survival (bRFS), distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS), and prostate cancer-specific survival (PCSS) were compared using Cox proportional hazards models with propensity score adjustment. Results and limitations: A total of 299 EBRT patients (41%) and 320 EBRT + BT patients (73%) received WPRT. The adjusted 5-yr bRFS rates with WPRT in the EBRT and EBRT + BT groups were 66% and 88%, respectively. Without WPRT, these rates for the EBRT and EBRT + BT groups were 58% and 78%, respectively. The median follow-up was 5.6 yr. WPRT was associated with improved bRFS among patients treated with EBRT + BT (hazard ratio [HR] 0.5, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.2–0.9, p = 0.02), but no evidence for improvement was found in those treated with EBRT (HR 0.8, 95% CI 0.6–1.2, p = 0.4). WPRT was not significantly associated with improved DMFS or PCSS in the EBRT group (HR 1.1, 95% CI 0.7–1.7, p = 0.8 for DMFS and HR 0.7, 95% CI 0.4–1.1, p = 0.1 for PCSS), or in the EBRT + BT group (HR 0.6, 95% CI 0.3–1.4, p = 0.2 for DMFS and HR 0.5 95% CI 0.2–1.2, p = 0.1 for PCSS). Conclusions: WPRT was not associated with improved PCSS or DMFS in patients with GG 5 PCa who received either EBRT or EBRT + BT. However, WPRT was associated with a significant improvement in bRFS among patients receiving EBRT + BT. Strategies to optimize WPRT, potentially with the use of advanced imaging techniques to identify occult nodal disease, are warranted. Patient summary: When men with a high Gleason grade prostate cancer receive radiation with external radiation and brachytherapy, the addition of radiation to the pelvis results in a longer duration of prostate-specific antigen control. However, we did not find a difference in their survival from prostate cancer or in their survival without metastatic disease. We also did not find a benefit for radiation to the pelvis in men who received radiation without brachytherapy.

The Nation Proving That Oil And Renewables Aren’t Opposed

After decades of world-leading oil and gas production, Norway is looking to stake its claim on a piece of the renewables market. But can the oil giant become a role model for green energy while still earning off its oil legacy? Just two years ago, Norway ranked 15th worldwide for oil production, and eighth for gas. Its longstanding relationship with oil and gas has allowed it to create its $1.4 trillion sovereign wealth fund to ensure that the country does not come to rely on oil and gas alone, by diversifying investments to the non-oil sector.

In April this year, Norway announced the first investment from the sovereign wealth fund into a renewable energy project. The Norges Bank Investment Management which manages the fund acquired a 50 percent stake in the Borssele offshore wind farm in the Netherlands from Denmark’s Ørsted A/S for $1.63 billion. The project is the second-largest operating wind farm in the world with a capacity of 752 megawatts, providing energy for around 1 million Dutch households every year.

At the local level, Raymond Johansen, Oslo’s governing mayor, has big plans for the Oslo Varme plant, a waste incinerator, which he intends to retrofit with €700m of carbon capture technology. If successful, the plant could be a model for other European cities and support the aim of a 95 percent reduction in Oslo’s carbon emissions by 2030.

As well as investing in renewable energy development, the government is also encouraging the public to make the switch from oil and gas use to alternatives. For example, Norway has waived high taxes charged for traditional cars for electric vehicles (EV), allowing owners to drive Teslas and other EVs in bus lanes, on toll roads for free, to access free parking and charging stations across the country. This is in the hope that only EVs will be sold in the country by as early as 2025.

But as Norway looks to renewable energy for domestic use, planning to make the shift away from gas and oil entirely, its oil production is far from over. The country is, in fact, increasing its oil production for export over the next decade ahead of an inevitable dip in demand as renewable energy becomes more readily available.

As Norway’s state-owned oil giant Equinor continues its significant exploration and production projects around the world, the country’s oil and gas activities are still going strong. And yet, at the national level, Norway runs almost entirely on renewable power.

At present, around 200,0000 people are employed in Norway’s oil and gas industry, meaning as the country makes the shift to renewable energy development it must consider the needs and expectations of a Norwegian population that continues to rely heavily on fossil fuels for employment.

Politicians argue that it is an asset for Norway to have its hands both in oil and gas as well as renewables as it has a longstanding history in the industry and can provide cleaner fossil fuel production, by adopting carbon capture and storage technologies to lower emissions, than its competitors.

Petroleum and Energy Minister Tina Bru explained, “I do not have a bad conscience for Norway being an ambitious climate nation at the same time as we have oil and gas production,” suggesting that her party would not be following the IEA road map because “if we were to decide tomorrow that we’ll stop producing oil and gas on the Norwegian shelf, other countries will say: ‘Okay, we will supply this’.”

As many criticize Norway for apparent hypocrisy, being both an oil and gas as well as a renewable energy leader may actually play to the country’s advantage. By developing a world-leading renewables sector while working to adapt its oil and gas production to become cleaner, Norway could continue to lead the way in both industries, ultimately encouraging others to adopt better practices.

  • Mamdouh Salameh on August 14 2021 said:
    Nothing epitomizes the close link between fossil fuels and renewable energy more than a slogan uttered by a wise energy veteran who said “Black Backs Green”.

    This means we need the oil and gas revenue to be able to invest in a meaningful way in renewables. The whole world including Norway and other oil-producing nations and also the global oil industry know this datum except the dogmatic environmental activists, divestment campaigners and the IEA’s la-la-land zero-emission roadmap.

    We are now in an era of energy diversification where alternative sources to fossil fuels, notably renewables, have to compet with other energy sources for a market share. The more they enlarge their market share the less fossil fuels will be used.

    Reducing carbon emissions from fossil fuels and not the actual use of fossil fuels, offers the best way to combat climate change.

I did not choose to be straight.

Every time I hear someone say that being gay is a choice, I laugh.  I cannot help but then imagine whether the person that is saying this decided to be straight.  Did they sit there and consciously decide who to be sexually attracted to?  Are they admitting that they could be gay if they did not decide to be straight?

Put yourself in the reverse shoes.  Can you imagine forcing yourself to be gay just to fit in?  I can’t.  I’d “choose” to love Alex anyway, even if meant I had to become a pariah in some circles.

This morning I began my day by perusing the New York Times on my phone.  I’ve found that this tactic is far more effective than the snooze button because it forces my brain to wake up and gives me something to look forward to… Yes, I am a nerd.  Yes, I also look at Facebook, which is why you may get 5:55 AM messages from me.

Back to the subject at hand, I woke up to an article on gay students being bullied and committing suicide in Minnesota.  The school district has a policy that teachers “shall remain neutral on matters regarding sexual orientation” that has resulted in many teachers ignoring or mishandling the bullying of gay students.  Apparently, it is difficult to address the bullying of gay students without also sending a message that gay students, and thus being gay, should be accepted.

I find this appalling.  As a country, we have more-or-less figured out how to accept different religious beliefs, but many of us still refuse to accept different sexual orientations to the point that young people are killing themselves as not to have to go to school.  At my own high school growing up, I remember being filled with anger as I listened to the football players harass two boys in my PE class, ruthlessly calling them fags, among other things.  If I only knew then what I know now.  If I only had the courage then that I have now.

Even though I clearly believe that being gay is not a choice, (nor something to be ashamed of), I do not understand why acceptance of homosexuality in schools is interpreted to be the same thing as endorsement.  I also do not understand how those teachers could interpret the district policy as a directive to underplay the bullying of gay students.  As a teacher, I understand that sometimes bullying is difficult to pinpoint, especially since there is always more to the story than shared.  However, acceptance of all students is non-negotiable for me.  I do not understand how, regardless of core beliefs, it could be negotiable for anyone else.

My heart goes out to all of the students in this article and all of the people in this world that get mistreated for being themselves.

143 thoughts on “Forget iPhone, Think Google Phone”

  1. the writing is on the wall. goog wants to own you and your communications end to end and it makes perfect sense for them. why? efficiency and control. if they own the device you use(phone, pc, whatever they give you), the transport and transit networks your data rides on the machines where your http request was directed(gmail, chat, webpage, hosted app, search, whatever) and voila;

    google owns you and your ability to interact with almost everything and everyone except those things and/or people for which you have first person contact.

    free connectivity sounds great when i use my definition of ‘free’: one way exchange of good or services where one person or group is the beneficiary. nothing is free and google is a business that generates billions in revenue and subsequent profit. if giving away anything would bring harm to google or its shareholders by hurting the bootom line, it won’t happen.

    Om, Whatcha thinking? Are these the early signs of the makings of another opportunity to rollup the small wifi isp’s similar to what Verio did to local ISPs in the 90’s?

  2. Not to forget that Fance Telecom is one of the main investors behind Jabber Inc. and Orange is already running XMPP servers…

    Anti Skype move 😉

  3. A google phone? Wouldn’t this only mean a device that scraps the operator branded mobile internet in favour for the Google search and application or mail protocol?
    I don’t think its unrealistic – but I think that “our expectations” might be bigger than the “real” thing.

  4. The slow and cumbersome experience of browsing the web from a mobile handset is not going to be solved by Google, no matter how good their software may be. The issue is ergonomics – today’s web is not designed for tiny screens, even good tiny screens like the video iPod.

    Most websites contain all kinds of content which is not scalable or lends itself to being rendered on a mobile phone’s screen. Even using PDAs with 640×480 screen resolution is not very comfortable.

    Why don’t we just abandon the pretense that mobile phones have to be able to browse the web like a desktop, and limit ourselves to what most people today are doing, which is check mobile-designed sites, or maybe read a blog or two? Email and IM are great on a mobile though, maybe they could do something on that front.

  5. I have just landed in Moscow and I’m reading this catching up on my Techmeme. On my mobile phone. Where Google already rules: Gmail, local, search. What is missing now is docs amd a ten times longer battery life. If they could pull that off I would switch in an instant.

  6. Apples and oranges. It’s not comparable to a iPhone, hardware and software designed from the ground up. It would just be a business cross-promotional tie-up along the lines of Yahoo Japan and Softbank Mobile.

  7. Sounds more than reasonable, if we remember that Windows for Mobile was predicted to reach ~50% of smart phones market share around 2008-2009.
    MS will likely integrate their live search feature to the OS, so google might also be preparing itself to a possible emerging search battlefield.

    One where google has less advantage than MS at the mo…

  8. Google already rules on mobile.
    .Google Maps (although missing gps link..)
    .Gmail (through web interface or midlet)
    .Google Reader
    .Google itself (you know.. the search engine!)

    But there is a lot of room for improvement. For instance a carrier subscription with unlimited data transfer, and preinstalled Google applications. This would immediately take the mobile world by storm.

    But I doubt that companies like France Telecom have the vision it takes for it. Historically, they’ve never chosen to compete, and much of their effort goes into slowing down tech acceptance (and keep high prices…)

    It was the case with RTC modem access to the internet, with ADSL etc..
    The bulk of Orange revenues comes from uninformed customers who get basic landline sercvice from “the historic phone operator” (france telecom) and who end up paying pay twice the price for everything else.

    Oh… the joy of captive customers.. it sure does not take its root in innovation! 🙂

  9. I think the writing has been on the wall for a GPhone for sometime now. I wrote about it back a year or so ago when Google first released Gtalk on the open Jabber platform.

    My guess was that our mobile phone numbers will soon become to look like emailaddress@gmail.com, and our email contacts will sync with our email contacts eventually.

    My initial estimate was that they would just release a purely wifi phone, but perhaps they will partner with a carrier to cover both wifi and cell until wifi becomes a bit more ubiquitous.

  10. While Rubin is interesting, the very smart mind at Danger was Travis Geiselbrecht, one of the kernel gurus behind BeOS – you know, that OS that Apple almost bought instead of BSD? Travis decided to not follow Rubin to Google and has wound up at Apple. So tell me, what is Apple really up to?

  11. Why would Google want to make hardware?

    Apple and Google are undoubtably working together on iTV so that Google can send all that YouTube stuff through the Television and ramp up their video ad sales.

    It would follow they are also working with Apple to provide all their mobile apps listed above (maps, etc.) on the iPhone. The iPhone is going to be a lot about mobile video ( especially video conferencing ) and that is also a great place to show YouTube video.

  12. I love these comparisons of unannounced produce versus another. People are so authoritative, and after a few posts, we just all seem to conspire to agree to forget that we’re all just making it up.

    If these kinds of rampant expectations had been dogging Apple 5 1/2 years ago, then when they introduced the 1G iPod 5 years ago, people would have been disappointed it wasn’t more like the 5G one they had in mind. Wait, scratch that. More like the 6G iPod, since we still can fantasize about that one without realistic constraints.

    p.s. my make-believe dad can beat up your make-believe dad any day!!

  13. Makes sense to me: a device that knows where you are, is seamlessly integrated with your newsreader, your email, your calendar, and your documents. Its searches are contextually relevant and it browses faster than other devices as top sites are optimized and cached (like Danger’s Sidekick.)

    The pieces all exist today and are deployed in one way or another. The project with Orange looks to me like a way to get them all together and deeply integrate them with the handset.

    But why stop at a phone when you’re building municipal WiFi? More here: http://twofones.typepad.com/twofones/2006/12/google_mobile.html

  15. I don’t really care about the “google phone” as long as google releases the apps for the general public, and I don’t see why they wouldn’t. They have already released google maps and gmail apps. All they need do now is release a google calendar and I will be happy.

  16. Is there any chance that I do not need to memorize phone numbers anymore (after all, Google also sells domains), instead I just call a certain domain (not a click to call fashion, but the characters of the main domain) and that’s it? 🙂

  17. God bless Orange’s SV office, they keep releasing confidential information about their company.
    The local CEO, George something, who thinks knows everything about the tech industry, was giving me advice a couple of weeks ago how to run my business. Pretty funny stuff he had to say, and I sounded as interested as possible without laughing too hard. But god bless him, as long as we feed his ego, he can feed us great gosip.

  19. Google is in the position to knock a couple of punches to both apple and MS with a slick gPhone! Since the keyboard would be a HUGE issue, google would do well and trounce others if it uses an advance keyboard like MessagEase (www.exideas.com) instead of limiting itself to only QWERTY

  20. I see the only way Google winning this battle is for them to purchase Palm OS, re-brand as Google OS and beat out Windows Mobile. They are in for a big battle, because everyone knows how to use a PC, so they choose Windows Mobile… I think as we move forward the operating system should become less important, succeeded by the tools, connectivity and functionality that these devices provide.

  21. I agree that the iPhone is the gPhone. Google is on the board of Apple because this gives them a leg up over competitors in development on the iPhone platform. The partnership allows each player to do what it does best: Apple hardware and OS knowhow complimented by Google mobile internet enabled apps.

    Google will have a chance to compete with MS on even ground on the iPhone platform once there are as many iPhones as there are Windows Mobile devices. Through the Safari browser you have access to a powerful suite of applications, including office apps, you should have anywhere access to. This partnership will showcase the power of collaboration with Google Apps.

    I look forward to Apple plus Google user friendly collaboration on calendars, docs, spreadsheets, and more. I’ve been furiously looking for information on Docs to Go and the iPhone. I am starting to let go of the desktop convention and imagining a web 2.0 enabled mobile software wonderland that is at my fingertips; thanks to my iPhone.

  22. Pingback: iPhone Go
  23. I think the gPhone is definitely a real possibility. It all depends if Google thinks it is worth it to invest in a hardware device of their own, or if they would be content just supplying the apps to an existing device, such as Apple’s iPhone.

    I think Google’s relationships that have been discussed, including those with Orange, HTC Taiwan (PDA maker and possible hardware supplier), and China Mobile (should be very interesting to see what these two will cook up), show potential for Google to make a serious attempt at dominating the future mobile arena.

    Especially in light of the convergence of gps navigation and mobile handsets (as displayed by nokia recently at the 3gsm conference in barcelona), and the emergence of location-based social networking, the functionality offered by google maps and google local information could make for a compelling reason for them to enter this space.

    But I think that even if they don’t come out with a handset, their applications will still make it onto the devices of the companies that do.

  24. Orange, Oh Combien merveilleuse!!
    The possible Gphone is a great opportunity for Orange to enter the American market via a new type of joint ventures. The Gphone is a great alliane between both companies. Google has estbalished its footprint and is looking to grow into a world class company, and Orange is seeking to introduce its self as a new service provider in the US. Orange uses GSM technology,unlike American companies, which uses CDMA technology, Orange and has a wide range of plans suited to everyone.

  26. Om,
    I think the overall readership may have missed the hidden message on the Google Mobile Phone.

    Read into the messaging, and I paraphrase the quotes “.. targeting the masses … not connected to PC and then internet”

    Here’s the feeling we are about to see for the search engine visionaries (http://blogs.globalcrossing.com/google20 )

    Very clear to me, not about iphone competition, it’s about Google 2.0.

    My gut says that in 18 months we’ll all talking blogging to what I am saying – this evening.

    Cheers,and I’ll see you for my toast on this prediction! September 2008 😉

  27. What services already exist for Google that can be easily transmuted for the cell phone experience?

    Google Ads
    If it’s introduced, it will be after the phone is released and becomes popular and will be viral in nature. To get paid to listen to ads before placing a call or texting.

    Google Maps
    GPS will give us maps and directions

    Our email, alerts and everything

    Google News
    News updates tuned to your PC searching and reading of articles

    Google Blogs
    Not only do they own blogspot/blogger.com but their blog search covers hundreds of blogs and blogging services

    Google Talk
    Talk to your mates! What else?

    Google Business News
    They’ve got that for PC why not for a cell phone?

    YouTube/Google Video
    It will probably be marketed as YouTube for recognitions sake.

    Imagine being able to cost compare while in the shopping mall? You’re not “held hostage” as some like to say by the retailers with large overhead and insurance to pay for.

    Forget an important statistic or selling point on the way to a sales call? Check it on your collaborated works page!

    Even if Google didn’t implement it’s internet search engine(which it will)there is more than enough Google content to overwhelm the average cell phone user. It can also be worked from the ground up to be displayed on a cell phone since Google has all the raw information. This isn’t about “bringing the internet to you” this is about “Bringing you to Google” which isn’t a bad thing! Now imagine them tracking people and recording “popular places” for statistics. you walk past a BestBuy and moments later get a text with the latest sales from that particular store(lets hope their instore site tells the same story…har har). Google has been good about privacy but with a simple GPS tracking phone, the statistics they can garner almost make the need to subsidize the phone useless, they just sell the information on where 10,000,000 million nameless faces have been in the past 6 weeks.

  28. Apple is the “Gay Fashion” industry of the computer world. Hight price, excellent quality, marketed to fan boys.

    I dont think any Iphone of GooglePhone will be a popular as everyone thinks. It will be very popular with the fan boys, and school girls.

    For me, I will never buy one, I have no need for a 1k phone. I play PC games and do sofware development, I would never waste upwards of 1k for something as simple as a cell phone with internet access. Shit I could get a really nice motherboard and video card for that!

  29. When I first heard about the Apple iPhone, I was not very interested. This sounds very interesting. If they capitalize on the short commings of the iPhone, they could quite possibly dethrone Apple. If anyone can do it, Google can.

  30. Take a look at Gpn (Global Phone Number) at http://www.watt.co.nz and you will undersatand that it is only a matter of time before an email address will be also your network phone number and that Google can either lead or follow.

  31. It is said that the Google Phone will be produced by the manufacturer HTC in Taiwan. Market start will be before Christmas this year – and they start with one million units.

  32. The google phone should be loaded with the Phraze-It Keyboard. The Phraze-It Keyboard is a productivity software application for a uniquely innovative on-screen keyboard with large finger typing keys for touch screen phones and PDAs. The Phraze-It ® Keyboard allows users to type with their index fingers directly on the screen of touch screen phones in full sentences, including punctuation, to create complete emails, text messages and documents while on the go.

  33. YES. Thank you Google, You rock. I hope the google phone is as feature packed as the HTC Kaiser, as simple to use as the iPhone, and as open and fast as google and Wikipedia.

    I would spend upwards of $1000 for such a device though I suspect google, in addition to the above three goals also will make the phone cheap and affordable for all.

  34. hi
    the model of gphone is sexy
    i hope it will be reasonable so that ican buy it
    i loved it very much
    waiting for the Gphone to come out in the market

  35. i will never give up my iphone. google can do what it wants – you will only take my iphone away when you pry it from my cold dead hands.
    PC people just don’t get it.

  36. who wouldn’t want to switch to a phone that can make free call whenever a network is available? that alone will make people to switch. Available network are only going to get bigger and better. with displays like vuzix and powerful PDA’s, Telcos business will follow the likes of typewriter etc.

    Power to the people.

  37. Pingback: Unfortune
  38. So i-phone has come and broken the business model of commodity “minutes and texts” that mobile operators have been competing in for many many years. The i-Phone (for nearly the price of a laptop!) offers content (i-tunes plus free wireless and data usage under O2)

    Mobile operators have started to look at the ways and reasons people communicate. People are involved in social networks (twitter, facebook, myspace etc) and also spend a lot of time listening to music perhaps more than video messaging (what a waste of time that was!)or viewing/taking pictures & video.

    I expect to see mobile companies teaming up with with Napster & other digital content providers.

    Google have some of this already (you tube for example) they also have mobile applications (may appeal to business customers) they have google maps (add location based services or GPS to the handset) they have g-mail and g-talk and also get a better click through rate from mobile devices when using google search.

    All makes perfect sense to me! the G-Phone will break the mobile business model once again.

  39. Has anybody here actually used the Window Pocket PC? SUCKS! I was very happy when I bought my phone from Verizon, for about a week. WinOS on my phone, wow i can now develop for mobile on a platform i know! oh it sucks no support for anything useful!

    MS really dropped the ball.

    Try to log in to your bank acount from the MS supplied browser… sorry no javascript or vbscript support. The damn thing is just an HTML viewer. Many sites use javascript or vbscript to make the site, uhm, work.

    Have you tried looking at youtube vids? oh sorry, no support for flash built in.

    Have you tried to listen to Howard Stern online with winpocketpc? oh SORRY AGAIN… errors.

    Eventually i learned that i could download the opera browser and now i had support for the scripting languages, the ability to view full pages rather than being forced to use the sucky mobile versions. But still no support for flash vids… and the battery dies out in like 10 min of opera usage. Good try opera.

    i guess i could try to find a download for flash but now i have to buy more memory because the device comes with a little bit of bytes.

    Apple dropped the ball.

    when the iPhone came out, WOW it can do flash vids, scripting languages, and it can even stream Howard Stern Online.. woohoo! looks nice! cool touch screen! good amount of memory!… oh wait, slow internet, no physical qwerty, only on AT&T, top this off recently with no support for third party apps! apple cannot supply every app i want! and i cannot develop for it unless my users hack into their phones!

    What are all these people thinking, i am a lowly little mexican and i know people dont want mediocre products and/or restrictions! Am I better qualified to be the CEO of these companies?!?! One could argue that its more profitable for them for certain reasons to be mediocre but that is no way to treat your customers.

    But wait! a gPhone? GOOG has a history of making innovation happen, through free api access and a bunch of useful services. MS had mapping software, it used to cost $6000 for a developer’s tool kit. not anymore. why? cause GOOGMaps is free. MS Hotmail used to only allow 1 gb of free space, it has increased. why? cause gMail has more memory.

    Power to GOOG! don’t screw up mighty tool for the masses and the developers of things for the masses and Robin Hood of software! GodSpeed GOOG, GodSpeed!

    “G PHONE IS A FAKE!!!!!!!1!!!!!!!!! “

    Recent clarification that the gPhone will not be a gPhone but rather a mobile OS is even better news!

    Think about it, do we want google to produce 3 or 4 phones for us to choose from? No. We want them to create a standard free based OS for all the phone manufacturers to implement. This would give us a vast amount of phones to choose from, and since the phone makers want their phone to sell, they will compete against each other to provide the best, cheapest phone.

    This is why google stock is $700 a share. Even though the only products or services from them that have had a big impact on our lives are the search engine and gMaps to a certain extent, they have extreme power over helping capitalism thrive. And they do, rather than horde all the power for themselves, like Microsoft used to do. Since Google is in business to make money, these products and ideas are centered around making them more ad money in the long run.

    Believe me, we dont want google to have a monopoly over our phones, we dont want ANYBODY to have a monopoly over anything important in our lives. See, Apple has a monopoly over the iPhone, and they are exercising their tyranny. That’s why they sold us a bunch of expensive phones and when we figured out how to get more value out of them, they “patched” our freedom.

    I am worried about one partner in this consortium though, Motorola, their OSs suck! From phones to DVRs, these guys make many things, and when they put their OS on it, it becomes a sluggish, ugly interface.

  41. Google will make all mobile web-sites go through google search but will also limit search to only companies who use google ads, potentially monopolizing the online mobile advertising market, forever. Also, It’s not a phone but software that will track everyone that uses it in the numerous different phones being made with the new software. Unlike the i-phone, google is just creating the software, not the phone.

  42. Does anyone know what this google phone is going to look like? I’m curious to see how it’s appearance compares with other phones on the market right now.

  43. doesnt the iphone already do everything that the google phone is supposed to be able to do? oh yeah and if it doesnt, it gets free upgrades with every update…….. so who wants a google phone not “i”

  44. my husband is programing on android for the Google phone yes its real and its going to pummel the iphone! Google is doing this to allow every one to be able to make some decent $$ to from the mobile world and not just the corporations. Google has a few programing competitions going on right now for programs for the phone. this first one that is over next weekend will give the top 50 programmers $25,000. these 50 people than have 4 more weeks to completely finish their product and re submit it. now 10 of these people are going to receive $175,000 and the top 10 are going to get $275,000 for a grand total of over $5 million. they are doing this twice once before the phone gets released and once after it gets released. they are giving out over $10 million to help these people start their own company’s and get their dreams and lives where they want them. so have some respect people. Google also treats their employees way better than almost every other company on this planet!

  45. oh yeah the phone is touch screen like the iphone. look up the Android emulator to see what it looks like. thats what everyone is using to make and test out their programs for the Google phone.

  46. Almost two years later and there is still no google phone but the latest release of the iPhone. June, I´m excited what your husband created there. When will it be released? Any info on that? Thx

  47. “Yes, This phone will compete with iPhone. People who wants more features than brand will choose Google phone over iPhone”.
    179$ – not bad… nice price. T-Mobile Brand.

  48. Hello and good day,

    I am fed up with the best mobile phones. Iphone, Blackberry, Google, whatever are toys for adults. I am able to make a call and I can write short messages. I do not listen to music, because I have an Ipod. I do not take pictures, because I have a very good camera.

    If i want to get “online” I`ll switch on my Notebook- who needs a cellphone which is connected to the world wide web???

    I hope that there are some people left who share my opinion!!!

    Thanky you very much and have a nice day 🙂

    1. What a change blackberry has done to coporate emailing systems. The use of browser on a phone has helped sales through online networks. I book meetings for my sales team which they see on their BB, plus they have GPS on them so I can show them where they need to be. You can also install Skype on smartphones and use it to make int. calls almost free, so read up on it, it will help you if you know how to use it

    2. i totally agree with ur views .actually these mobile comp. are making a hypothetical atmosphere,that we need a camera,sounds in our mobile phones , but they are of no use

  49. apparently google phone is already available under htc, and nothing is so amazing with it its just a refinement of htc diamond and nothing really is surprising.

The brain can be likened to a computer: it only knows what has been fed into it. Therefore, every image, form and concept is based in the past, in the brain, even what is called the present is a pattern or cyclic process of energy/consciousness being registered in the brain. Indeed, the literal perspective (duality, sensory perception, ego) is a delusion. But how so?

Consider a dream. What is true of any dream (split-consciousness) is that every person, place and thing in the dream is not really there. What is happening (moving) is delusion, but being captured by the sensory perception that is the substance (quality) of the dream, the dreamer believes that what he is experiencing is reality. But, in fact, the dreamer is still in bed–he hasn’t gone anywhere at all. With the mind so fragmented, the dreamer has unconsciously deceived himself for a time that he has. In a way, a kind of self-hypnosis takes place when losing wakefulness, consciousness suppressed (split) becoming the subconscious mind. In relation to whole consciousness then, the subconscious, seemingly complex, can be likened to the ego: it’s not all there.

Modern science has shown that everything experienced in the external world (literal perspective) is only a sensory perception, an electro-magnetic signal coming from the object in space going to the brain. One does not therefore experience the external world itself but the image the brain creates, and, consequently, what he does experience is not really there–but in his mind. Thus every thing-event experienced by the senses can be likened to waves on the ocean: the wind (world) breathes against the water (mind) and produces the waves (thing-events), as well as, the sense of continued outward motion. But the ocean itself has not moved unilaterally. The same can be said of space: all phenomena comes out of space and has its time and then returns into space, but the space, in being space, remains whole, complete in itself. Such is not another phenomena, that is to say, not another image, form or concept (duality). Accordingly, whole consciousness (totality of being) is the nonliteral perspective (oneness, nonsensory perception, nonego), a totally open, natural and spontaneous happening, or infinite stream of energy-consciousness.

A human being is a isolated point (separate entity) in space, and like all phenomena, has its time and then is no more. But the real (seeming) problem that all human beings get caught up (lost) in is in having (keeping) a literal interpretation of life and the world outside. For in remaining literal-minded, schooled from infancy in the dualism (abstraction) of language, human beings see, and thus interpret, everything in separation (everything being outside everything else) and think the actual, literal and partial world is reality. Thus in believing every verb must have a subject, they live the image, form and concept (sensory perception) of life and the world outside in place of the full reality (nonliteral perspective) behind and within them that gives rise to it. They are stuck in the past.

But how does one get unstuck?

By seeing and interpreting everything in separation (literally), one believes that one thing leads into another. And holding onto his past experiences, seeking his identity in them, one creates the sense of a personal continuity from birth to death. Yet this continuity is all in the past…all brain-based (sensory perception). What is totally now, that is, ever-present (whole consciousness), cannot be contained by any thing-event (partially) and remains lost to the literal mind. And even if he understands this matter intellectually, one will still get in his own way by trying to achieve the goal of living totally now…for the main obstacle he faces is himself as ego…and the need to step out of the past!

There is no lasting peace in a split-consciousness, in a divided mind (duality). When one desires to possess something or to achieve something apart from (and thus is not) himself, the self automatically interferes with the open, natural and spontaneous act of doing (being), of living totally now. So, if one is to be the nonliteral perspective, ever-present (the happening itself), one must surrender the need (ego) to be so. For the ego, being by nature of its own seeming partial, subjective and relative existence (literal perspective), is not capable of enlightenment (liberation)–of being whole consciousness. Thus one must step out of the past without needing too, as the ego must be taken out of the equation without any effort on the part of a separate self.

How is this possible?

This is where everything gets extremely subtle. When one spends the day meditating (living meditation), beginning to realize (not just choosing to believe but actually realizing) that every one of us is really whole consciousness (nonliteral perspective), that there is only the timeless now (no past or future in reality, no duality), without knowing how, suddenly the selfless realization of it all becomes him: that is, he is not having a realization, he Is the Realization! The pure understanding Awareness that just Is! The ego or split-consciousness can be said to turn in and pass through itself, living (being) through every thought, emotion and experience, but not holding onto or identifying with (possessing) any of it! Thus there is only the pure understanding Awareness (Whole Consciousness) itself, or in itself (Intubeing). It’s as though one is seeing from behind the eyes and from Within the thing-events of the day, through all his thoughts, feelings and personal experiences, but not desiring any of it for himself…for there is no separate self to hold onto! No personal claim on anything. There is only Now, the ever-present self that is Selfless!

Like the vampire being asked to meet the dawn (liberation), the ego is terrified of the thought, of total freedom. To the vampire’s literal mind this would be his own annihilation, and frightened to (living) death, desperately hurries back to his coffin, to his seeming safe shelter (protracted life). Likewise, the ego clings to the body, to the past. Identifying with the senses, believing what is brain-based is reality, the ego cannot see (live) the nonliteral perspective through himself and realize the whole consciousness (nonego) that just Is…Is the very essence behind and Within everything, yet is not anything, literally speaking!

Such is the human condition: desire, fear and death. Yet one is not really lost, only seemingly so. Stepping out of the past is why any of us are here, why any of us are anywhere. Like the vampire, each of us struggles as long as we think we must. But once we are ready to fully accept the truth about the human condition, in the process, stilling the mind, the selfless realization (nonliteral perspective) that Is becomes us, and living faith is now our strength and peace our refuge…even as Our true self Is Selfless, the Eternal Now, ever-present Totality of Being!

Poems written specially by school children for each new performance

Little Bird

A little bird

Flew a distance that no-one else could reach.

What a miracle.

A small thing is not weak

This is evidence and you say:

How far did it fly?

It flew over the ocean

Past Greenland

And to the Caribbean

And not only that

It flew into the wind

With no difficulty

What a miracle

by Hafsa Ahmed

Red Necked Phalarope

This is the story of a little bird,

It flew much further than I had heard

It took flight from the safety of an experts hand

It flew from land to land to land

No-one realised how far it flew

Until they discovered it’s journey to Peru

It did not travel by plane or boat

It flew by itself with its russet red throat.

by Maya Brown

I created a nest like a puzzle

Shadows are creeping over the land

My egg hatched into fragments of shell

Will I miss the cosy nest?

Will this place change while I’m away?

Will I ever come back?

by Liv Goldreich

That uplifting moment

When you rise up and up and up

When the wind takes control

by Talia Hendry

Set Your Path Through The Sky

Set your path through the sky

Just keep on flying up so high

Small bird, don’t give up

Keep on flying so you don’t drop

Keep on flying through the air

Just don’t have a single care

You may be so very small

Just don’t give up so you don’t fall

by Jason Small

I Soar

I soar, I duck, I dodge.

My mission is so simple:

Reach the warmth, the food

Follow the stars, follow the sky

Reach the place where the rich food lies

Use the power in my wings

The wind is strong

But so am I

by Esther Kent

If I Was A Bird

If I was a bird I would see the world

In a new light

A new perspective.

All the millions of problems and arguments would mean nothing to me.

I would be free of the greedy, the selfish and the liars.

I would have the whole world to explore, to myself

If I was a bird

by Robert Ibarra

If I Had Wings

When the wind came I took to my wings I flew quite unsteadily at first
But it was worth it.

Soaring through the sky
The freedom of being so high When I let loose and flew

Flight was my destiny
in the atmosphere full of danger – But the view!

I wish I could go again… If I had wings
If I had wings

by Noah Max

Cumbria Youth Orchestra; BlueJam Youth Jazz; North Cumbrian Schools

Flying is fast;
Flying is fun;
Flying is swooping up right to the sun!

Flying is joy,
It takes away your frown;
Flying is great, but don’t look down!

Flying is cool; flying is free;
Flying is adventure for you and me!

So if you really want to fly,
Then FLY!

Keira Walker, Age 10 and Tyan Isles, Age 9
Armathwaite School

One small bird is more than you think,

Imagine the pressure of flying high into the midnight sky

Over the hilltops, over the valleys, over the cities.

One small bird is more than you think,

Everyday trying to survive.

If only birds could talk the true tale.

As the feathers fade,

She takes off over land and sea,

Soon to be in Peru in her destiny.

I wish I knew the true tale,

But what I know is – one small bird is more than you think.

Hollie, Ivegill

Born To Fly

We were born to fly
Up in the real-high sky,
To sing with you,
To dance in the stars
And fly away with you,
Over the seas and the mountains.
We fly to the city that never sleeps,
Over more mountains we travel.
We swim to meet with our family,
Back in Peru.
Over seas and mountains we’ve flown
To end up back home.

Dominic Horribin, Age 10
Armathwaite School

One Little Bird in a Big Storm

One little bird, one wonderful bird,
Is more than just a song.
For storms have occurred—another can be heard.
A hazardous, dangerous tropical storm.

Flying high in the sky,
This bird is well equipped,
For a storm is heading and while they fly,
It gradually slides into you, my bird.

Crash! Thunder, lightning, a tropical storm.
Violent, ferocious, world – crushing beast!
One fragile bird, one tiny dot,
Tossed, turned, thrashed, feathers blown, bones crushed!

Fly little bird, be brave, be strong!
 Gather your courage, have faith in your heart.
Battle the monster and fight to the end!
The song in your heart sings stronger than wind screams.

One small bird in a terrible storm,
Will one small bird survive?

by Seamus Barker, Yanwath School

Red-necked Phalarope

Lobed toes to help you swim
And make whirlpools in the waves.
Just 20 days from an olive-buff egg
‘Til you can spread your wings and fly.
With your grey, chestnut, black and white feathers,
You like to migrate to tropical weathers

Kara Tallentire, Age 9
Armathwaite School

Westmorland Youth Orchestra and mid-Lakes Primary Schools

Every year a small bird flies from Fetlar to Peru,

It’s a really impressive thing for a small bird to do

It flies high over the sea

Much, much higher than me

Seeing hump backed whales and diving fish

Wishing its journey was as quick as a wish

It all starts with a minute chick

Like a bumble bee, long legs like string

And in only a day it can walk

And in another 20 days

It is ready to fly to Peru!

Little elegant Red-Necked Phalarope!

You’re so small

There are so few of you here

You learned to fly when you were only 20 days old,

Now look at you flying to the other side of the world!

St Thomas’s

One little bird

One terrible storm

But it is strong

It will battle its way through!

Will it do it?

Will it risk its life?

Let’s hope it will be alright!

Here’s our message to the little bird:

You were to fly

across mountains and rivers

through wild storms and sun

Just a small bird to fly for miles

so fine so gentle

What could I say?

So thin so bone

You do it I don’t know how.

So gentle

feathers so fine

Fly little bird! Fly!

I saw him tumbling, twirling and flipping through the stars,

Battling the last of the dying vortex,

Now out of the storm and into the shining night sky.

The waves beneath reflected the beautiful moonlight

Like watery lanterns dancing on its mirrored surface.

He soared through the air flying free, flying high

Swooping gracefully, joyfully, thankfully and unwavering.

Onwards and onwards through the jet night,

Willed on by the waves and sustained by the stars.

Fly on little bird with your head held high,

Fly on little bird you can make it, fly, fly!

Let your home bask in light

Appropriate lighting in your home is crucial for a pleasant atmosphere. ONE Smart Control is smart enough to combine light switches. With just one push of a button or one tap on your smartphone, you can change the whole mood in your living room. But there’s more than just atmosphere … Discover all the options!

Dim all kinds of light

Which lights can be dimmed? Classic bulbs, LED lights, halogen lamps, … It does not matter. ONE Smart Control can dim almost every light switch and give your room a unique atmosphere. Great when you are watching TV, or enjoying a relaxing bath.

 Choose your own atmosphere

Dim your lights, set the light scenarios and a lot more. ONE Smart Control offers endless possibilities for creating the perfect atmosphere in your home. During dinner you may want a different lighting than when reading a book on the sofa or entertaining visitors. Operate all combinations with one button.

 The last person to switch off the lights

The last person leaves the house and closes the door behind them. This person taps ‘absent’ in the app and all unnecessary lighting is switched off. This will save you a trip through the house every time you leave, and it will save on your energy bill.

 Automatic light with perfect timing

The sun sets and before it is completely dark, your lights are switched on low. Perfect, certainly if you are already comfortably settled in your chair. You do not need to get up. You set your lighting the way you want it, using the timers in the ONE Smart Control app. At the same time, you can have the curtains or blinds close automatically. Convenient, right?

 Light in the darkness

Install a motion sensor in your toilet. The light automatically switches on and switches off automatically when you leave the room. Also useful in the storeroom, near your front door or in the garage. This saves energy, since the lights cannot be left on.

  Use the sunlight

In a room with large windows, natural light often provides sufficient illumination. The ONE Smart Control sensor measures the ambient light and switches off all artificial lighting. You can save without a second thought.

 Dim the lights and save energy

Did you know that you can save 10 per cent energy by dimming your lights by 10 percent with ONE Smart Control? You can save energy without even noticing that your lights are not as bright. Moreover, your light bulbs will last much longer.

 Light control using the app

In developing our app, we place great importance on ease of use. With the ONE Smart Control app, we have made it easy for users to set and save the settings for lighting atmospheres and timers, without the help of an engineer.

 Colour in your interior

Do you like colour? Blue lighting for a party? A warm yellow glow on a winter’s evening? Always create the perfect mood. This can be achieved with the Hue light bulbs from Philips: set a colour for each individual light, or work with scenarios. You can control the lights without the use of an additional remote control, simply by using the ONE Smart Control app on your smartphone.

 Light control using the switches

The switches on your wall can still be used as usual. Is it more convenient for you and your visitors to use the existing switch? With ONE Smart Control you can use your existing wall switches to control the lights and to activate the light scenarios. Familiar and convenient.

Using the system is a breeze and installing the system is done in a jiffy

 Even your visitors can operate the lights

You know how your system works. But other people also need to be able to operate the system. The babysitter, the cleaning lady and the children can continue to operate the switches in the same way as a conventional system.

 Your light switch design

The great thing about ONE Smart Control is that you are free to choose any design from any manufacturer of conventional switches. You are free to choose, according to your taste and budget.

 Do not leave your lights on unnecessarily

Are your lights always on in the bathroom, the children’s bedrooms and the hallway? Press one button to switch off all the lights. You can view the energy consumption per room at any time and intervene where necessary.

 Don’t panic!

Can you hear suspicious noises in your garden in the night? Press the panic button and switch on all the lights in or around your home. This will ensure that your unwanted visitor runs away!

 Press 1, 2, 3 times

Create an atmosphere with dimmed lights for dining. A second atmosphere with plenty of light above your kitchen hob for cooking, or an atmosphere with the reading lamp at full power for reading. Switch on these atmospheres using your smartphone, tablet, … or simply at the press of a button. For example: Press 1x for dining, 2x for cooking, 3x for reading.

 Light up your garden!

This works in exactly the same way as it does indoors. You can programme the façade and garden lighting to switch on at a certain time, and here too you can programme different atmospheres. There are endless options. An illuminated garden and façade will deter burglars, even when you are away on holiday. Handy. It will appear as though there is always someone at home.

Once Again, Schimel Puts His Partisan Political Interests Ahead of Wisconsin Families

MADISON, Wis. — In his first campaign re-election television ad, Wisconsin Attorney General Brad Schimel blames families for the current opioid crisis, not the pharmaceutical drug manufacturers who spent millions of dollars to flood our streets with opioids. In the ad, Schimel cites family members and friends, not manufacturers of the highly addictive drugs, as the source of the prescription painkillers that lead to more serious drug addictions.

“Brad Schimel takes money from opioid makers, refuses to sue opioid makers for their actions and now uses that money put up a television ad blaming families for the opioid crisis,” said Joanna Beilman-Dulin, One Wisconsin Now Research Director. “Once again, Brad Schimel puts his own partisan political interests ahead of Wisconsin families.”

Schimel, who has received campaign funds from opioid manufacturer Purdue Pharma, has refused to join in action by 17 other state Attorneys General and sue Purdue and other opioid manufacturers in court. Purdue also contributed nearly $300,000 to the Republican Attorneys General Association (RAGA) in 2016, the last year for which records are available. RAGA has already run ads attacking Schimel’s 2018 election opponent.

Other states bringing suit to hold opioid manufacturers accountable for their role in the addiction crisis cite how their promotion of the drugs minimized risks and encouraged over prescribing. But Schimel in refusing to act claims pharmaceutical manufacturers’ unsavory practices are too far in the past.

A recently released report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reveals Wisconsin is among the the worst states in the nation for increases in deaths attributable to opioids. Nearly every one of the state’s 72 counties have also joined a lawsuit seeking compensation from drug makers for the mounting costs associated with the opioid addiction crisis.

Norway players make Qatar protest in World Cup qualifier

Kormo App Banner

Norway’s soccer players marked the start of their quest to qualify for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar by protesting against the gulf state’s alleged treatment of workers before kick off in their opening match against Gibraltar on Wednesday.

The Norway side, including Arsenal’s Martin Odegaard and Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland, wore t-shirts saying ‘Human rights – on and off the pitch’ as they lined up for the game, which they went on to win 3-0.

Qatar’s World Cup organising committee did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the Norway team’s protest.

Norway have one of their best chances in recent memory to qualify for the World Cup for the first time since 1998 but a movement to boycott the tournament, started by top-flight club Tromso, has recently gathered pace in the country.

Tromso have asked the Norwegian soccer federation to consider boycotting the World Cup following an investigation by British newspaper The Guardian which claimed 6,500 migrant workers have died in work-related accidents since the tournament was awarded to Qatar in 2010.

Responding to the Guardian report, Qatar’s government said a “very small percentage” of over 1.4 million expatriates in the state had passed away between 2011 and 2019.

The government’s statement said it had taken steps to improve health and safety of workers in the last two decades and had imposed punishments on business owners who violated safety standards.

The U.S government views TikTok as a cyber threat and may ban the app

Started on August 2nd 2018, the social media platform, Tiktok took the world by storm. But before Tiktok was an app, millions used an app known as “”. With many of the same features of Tiktok, was launched in August of 2014 and mainly featured videos of people lip-syncing to audio. The app was later bought by the Chinese company “ByteDance” and transformed into Tiktok. The app immediately caught traction mostly from people transitioning platforms from to Tiktok. As of November 2019, Tiktok had more than 1.5 billion users worldwide. But why will one of the most successful apps be shutting down soon?

U.S Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo has stated the government is looking into banning Tiktok, as well as other Chinese apps for the safety of cyberattacks. An Army Spokesperson revealed that on government-issued phones, Tiktok is not allowed to be installed due to a cyberthreat. This is not the first time for Tiktok to be banned like this, earlier last week Amazon sent an email out to all of its employees to delete Tiktok in unspecified “security risk”.

India has already gone on to ban Tiktok and make their own app known as Roposo. Shortly after the ban of Tiktok, Roposo immediately went #1 on the Google Play and App Store and now sits at 65 million downloads.

OpenSprinkler Forums Comments, Suggestions, Requests Garage door monitoring and control Re: Re: Garage door monitoring and control

Hi Ray – I just wanted to chime in and say that this would be a great addition that should be easily added to Opensprinkler.

The RF route is extreme overkill for most applications. You probably already know this but most home automation people simply add a relay to the line that runs to the button that opens/closes the garage from inside the garage. There are several examples of people doing this (and remotely controlling the relay with something like a z-wave controlled outlet) – here’s one I found on youtube:

I’m not an electrical engineer, but it seems like Opensprinkler already has most of what is needed to make this work and this would really get the attention of the home automation market.

Determining whether the door is open or closed could be tricky (or added later) but I think it could be as simple as adding an open/closed loop sensor that you typically find in security systems for < $10. So a little guidance and code could really expand your market.

Jamie Hurd Amphitheater

West Des Moines, Iowa
  • 2020 • Iowa Ready Mixed Concrete Association
    Excellence in Concrete Award

The Jamie Hurd Amphitheater, designed in collaboration with Confluence landscape architects, creates a destination for the residents and visitors to gather for shared cultural experiences such as concerts, movies, and festivals.

Located opposite a pond from the West Des Moines City Hall and the West Des Moines Public Library, the amphitheater is intended to be a new landmark for the growing community. The structure frames views to the buildings across the water while the materiality and form complement the existing structures, unifying and completing the civic campus.

The cantilevered steel truss, resembling a folded piece of paper, is designed to direct acoustics, protect performers, and elegantly blend with the campus, creating a form that is both airy and grounded. Designed to accommodate a variety of performances and events, the stage can fit up to 55 musicians with lawn seating for up to 2,000 spectators. Cast-in-place concrete walls, treated with color and form liner, hide the stage support and AV spaces from spectators.

The amphitheater is second phase of the city’s Five Waters Project.

Analysis of the Latitude E5450 – Intel Core i3-4030U from Dell.

As a preamble to this test

Even if there are not really bad choices in laptops anymore, it is important to know that some models are more intended for multimedia, and others more for games.Our analysis was made according to 6 user typologies.We have oriented our test according to criteria such as use for travel, office automation, internet browsing, games or multimedia.
After reading this article you will know if this model suits your needs.

Latitude E5450 the right choice for surfing the internet?

Because a computer is above all a tool for leisure and educational use (browsing e-commerce or information sites, writing e-mails, etc.), you need to make sure that it will stand the test of time and that it is of high quality.Ensuring proper operation requires quality components and proven technological competence on the part of the manufacturer.
That’s the direction taken by Dell with this Latitude E5450.A product positioned as mid-range but of good quality. Material that seem to be well-designed.
With a 14 inches size, you’ll be able to carry it easily. A reasonable choice equips this model; the Intel Core i3-4030U. Considering that the components evolve very quickly, Dell offers a laptop of good quality that will remain a good choice over several years. A logical decision in relation to the intended use of this computer: surfing the Internet and sufficient computing power. Very clearly, with only 4 Gb ofRAM, this laptop is not the best equipped model. Chances are you’ll have to add some memory over time. In terms of memory, you will be assured of having a machine that is more fluid.
The 500 Gb make this laptop a mid-range laptop in terms of available space. In any case, it should be enough for a use like surfing the web. Dell comes with this Latitude E5450 a laptop that you’ll keep for a few years before it becomes obsolete.
Last point about the autonomy. the Latitude E5450 can work 8 hours in wifi mode only activated by the batteries. The batteries that equip this model are less efficient than those of other models in the same category. Not as good as what you can get on competing products, and that’s a pity, because in the end the laptop is pleasant to use.

Is Latitude E5450 okay to watch videos ?

You are considering laptops for standard multimedia use (watching movies, storing photos, listening to music)! Dell offers the Latitude E5450 perfect for that. The model has sufficient basic equipment for this purpose.
Through all the available laptops, you will know if, despite an average score, it corresponds to your needs.
As for the screen, it is a model of reduced size, 14 inches, with a 1366×768. The colours are faithful, warm enough, and the contrasts allow a high level of detail. The only criticism that could be drawn is its size, which makes it a small device compared to other competing models at the same price; over a whole day, it can tire the eyes. The main advantage linked to this size, on the other hand, is its overall weight: 1.5 kg that it will be easy to take anywhere.
The glossy screen option is not possible on this model; it would have made the display easier to read. The effect is of lower quality in environments with intermediate or even low light levels – often corresponding to the conditions in which a film is viewed. The readability of the display is therefore a little lower.
Therefore, when used in daylight conditions, you will appreciate the lack of this feature, as the light induces reflections, making it difficult to view.
On the sound side, it Latitude E5450 has good components: board and integrated speakers. To test the audio quality, we turned up the volume with a movie trailer and then with a few songs of different types. Even if the result is good, be aware that even the best laptops will never beat a hi-fi system on this point. In other words, if you are demanding on the sound part, you will have to add external speakers.
The processor installed on this model is a Intel Core i3-4030U sufficient one for audio and video. Although it is in the middle of the range, this processor will be able to evolve according to your future needs, and in the immediate future will allow a good compatibility with all your peripherals. This will result in fluid video and audio sessions.
With Intel HD Graphics 520, ahigh-performance graphics card, a dedicated memory of 4 Gb of RAM, you can watch movies, with smooth images, possibly retouch photos or edit video. Sufficient for the majority of you, this will not be the case for those who want to make 3D images.
Speaking of connectivity, this laptop provides 3 ports.It’s better than the competition. Speakers, a mouse (wired), an external hard drive and an output to a pocket projector when on business trip or when you travel.
Nothing is more unpleasant than a computer that shuts down before the end of the film because of batteries of poor autonomy. Indeed, with 8 hours of autonomy, it is one of the worst specifications. A management of the time available to take into account when you are on the move watching a movie. Therefore, it is best to use this computer constantly plugged into an outlet, without worrying about battery life.

Latitude E5450 compatible with on the move use ?

One of the primary functions of a laptop is to be easily transportable. So we put this test to the Latitude E5450. Is he home-work oriented? Or will you be able to take it on a trip? These are the questions we will answer. Or should this use be confined to going from the living room to your kitchen.
However, we were able to discover through his overall score, that it is among the best for the travel aspect.
An acceptable gap regarding the displacement of this Latitude E5450 of 1.5 Kg. It is easy to carry even if you prefer the ultra slim models of the competition. On the other hand, it is also pleasant to use it to surf the internet or write e-mails. A 14 inches size that can be painful when you have to stay there for more than an hour.
No backlit keyboard on this Latitude E5450. Not necessarily useful, except for those in dimly lit places.
We enjoy viewing on this screen which displays deep and vivid colours. We appreciate the viewing on this screen.
This laptop is very comfortable to use. The image is beautiful, and with its anti-reflective matt tile, no more problems even outdoors.
The energy consumed by the processor Intel Core i3-4030U is in the average currently.
The manufacturer estimates a possible range that you can reduce. Rather count on 70% of this value in standard use; the more you use the processor, the lower the figure will be.
Battery life is worse than the competitors, with only 8 hours before the laptop has to be plugged back into the mains.
Because of the technology used, it will be better not to move this computer too much. The reasons are its size, and the hard drive that the brand Dell decided to put in it. Equipped with a standard 500 Gb hard disk, it will make possible an almost unlimited number of writing cycles (recording/erasing). Only an SSD hard drive could improve this, but then it is an additional cost.
Travel will be a mere formality when you decide to take it along. With a screen of 14 inches and an ultra light weight, it is one of the best in its category.
The connector part is very interesting, with 3 inputs available. That makes it one of the best equipped models on the market.
Bluetooth technology is great when you’re on the go, and you’ll enjoy the convenience of connecting easily to a phone or speakers.
All in all, this Latitude E5450 is an interesting product for travel.

The Latitude E5450- the right model for audio or video editing ?

Definitely not intended for audio and video editing. The weak point of this model is its processor, and its amount of memory. Even if it would be possible to do audio or video cutting, it doesn’t seem to correspond to this need. Dell has favoured more standard uses, which require less computing speed. You should also be aware that this model is becoming outdated. In short, prefer a model that will be a little more expensive, but much more efficient.
Possibly for occasional use, the processor Intel Core i3-4030U will allow you to perform certain tasks, if they are initiated individually. Having 4 Gb de ram, it is good and powerful enough. All the applications you’ll need to get started are available. If on the other hand you start on pro applications, it will be necessary to add more memory.
With 500 Gb hard drive size, you have enough space.This size is one of the best on the market in this product range. However, it is possible that you will fill this space quickly as the films may take up space. For reasons of speed of execution, we would have liked Dellto favour the installation of an SSD type disk instead of the standard one. A choice of solidity that is certainly relevant, against a choice of speed that could have broken in 5 years.
The autonomy of this Latitude E5450 is of 8 hours in normal use; Unfortunately, it remains low for an audio-video use which needs a lot of computing power. Maybe the next model will be better off.
Concerning the solutions of the usb ports, Dell made the choice of economy by not installing a usb 3. It implies more time when you decide to transfer your files to an external drive.
With this Latitude E5450 product, Delloffer us a good start for an advanced use of audio and video editing. Clearly, it’s not Latitude E5450 designed for audio-visual editing. However, it will be perfect for web browsing and word processing.

The Latitude E5450- the right model to play with?

There are very few laptops today that do not allow you to play video games. The tests we ran showed that the choices of Dell in terms of components – the chip, the processor generation, or the quality of cooling – make this an average laptop for gaming. But if you’re used to playing the latest games of the moment, you’ll soon reach the limits.
Provided with a resolution of 1366×768, this model is unfortunately much less equipped than its competitors. In fact, the game phases will present lower quality images.
The graphics Intel HD Graphics 520 card and processor Intel Core i3-4030U will be sufficient to fill your screen. Thanks to the technical elements installed on this laptop, the card Intel HD Graphics 520 and the processor Intel Core i3-4030U are raised to a very good level.
During the tests we ran on this laptop, the components used by the brand’s engineers proved that they could hold the load.
Dell like most manufacturers, knows that intensive and extensive use of the computer in game mode requires performance. It corresponds to a median choice, neither extremely powerful nor too expensive.
A space of 500 Gb to save your data; this is in the average of what other brands offer. Not necessary for everyone who plays online, but convenient for those who prefer to play locally.
For Wi-Fi technology, Dell decided to make the use of the 5GHz wireless band possible. Interesting when you can play outside with full broadband.
As far as space requirements are concerned, this computer weighs 1.5 Kg and is 14 inches sized; it is in the average range of other laptops.
Note the disadvantage in terms of autonomy: it is one of the lowest with 8 hours available.
It Latitude E5450 is finally an interesting compromise for those who want performance without spending too much on the purchase. Good for games, but also for many other uses.

Is the Latitude E5450 adapted to office automation ?

Although this does not affect the majority of users, it is important to know the OS of this hardware. The OSes available on the market are all different technical ecosystems with their own applications. Perfectly office oriented, this Latitude E5450 is efficient.
Customary of this OS, Dell has chosen as usual. It’s the latest version of Windows 10 Pro that’s running it.
It is one of the laptops available in the range. Average weight, with 1.5 Kg.
The numeric keypad is not present on this model. Unless you only do word processing that does not require its use.
Dell chose the matt tile option for thisLatitude E5450 that does not reflect light. The colour palette is of good quality; blacks and whites do not look like yellow and grey.
If you work on your computer in the evening, you might regret that the backlight option is not provided on this laptop.
About storage, this model has average space . About 500 Gb, more than enough for office use.
Clearly, this is an excellent one in this price range. It combines ergonomics with power, with an interesting price/quality ratio.

Finally, the Latitude E5450….

There is no such thing as a perfect laptop for every purpose, unless you put a price tag on it, and keep in mind that it will be too powerful for most of your needs. The Latitude E5450′ is average but will do the job very well.
In other words, this model is not really made for :
– make audio and video editing
You can still, at the very least, use it to:
– web browsing
– listening to music and watching videos
– playing video games
And we highly recommend this laptop for :
– travel use
– office tasks
