Is It in Public Interest for Gaydamak to Own Radio 99?
Attorney general orders Council to consider Gaydamak's history of criminal convictions in France
Attorney General Meni Mazuz has ordered the Second Broadcast Authority Council to consider whether it is in the public interest to allow Russian-Israeli billionaire Arcadi Gaydamak to acquire the controlling interest in Radio 99 Escape.
Mazuz's letter points out the potential obstacles in Gaydamak's resume.
Responding to a question from TheMarker, a Justice Ministry spokesman confirmed the directive to the Council. But he added that Mazuz had ruled last week, that Gaydamak's 1993 money-laundering conviction in France was not grounds for disqualification from owning the local radio station, because the statute of limitations applied.
However, the AG noted, when applying for the permit to buy Radio 99 Escape, Gaydamak had neglected to mention his criminal conviction in France, or that legal steps against him continue there.
Mazuz also instructed the Council to consider a French court ruling from April 2006, in which Gaydamak was disqualified from buying the French paper France Soir because of the suspicions against him.

Updated Regulations Require Reassessment
According to Gartner: In a 2012 series of spot check audits for health care organizations, most failed, not because of a lack of controls, but for the lack of a recent risk assessment to support their control implementation decisions. Recent updates in regulations, increased exposure through business associates, mandated reportable breach thresholds, and potential for increased penalties will motivate companies to reassess their security measures.
Companies are asking:
- Have PHI assessments as required by HIPAA been completed?
- Are security policies and procedures relevant to the compliance requirements of HIPAA/HITECH?
- Are data breach policies and breach response plans adequate to detect and report on the requirement to report on a compromise of 500 or greater records?
- Under the updated definition, are all business associates under agreement and meeting HIPPA requirements?
OpenSky HIPAA/HITECH Assessment Approach
OpenSky's approach is based upon our risk assessment methodology developed from assisting similar organizations, common industry practices, and leading industry standards (e.g. NIST SP 800-66, DHHS HIPAA Security and Privacy Rule Audit Requirements and ISO 27002) for IT risk assessments. The project team will customize control objectives according to the specific business and regulatory environment of the organization. For the HIPAA Security and Privacy Rules, there are 197 control objectives to be reviewed.
OpenSky recommends review of the following:
- Administrative Safeguards
- Physical Safeguards
- Technical Safeguards
- Organizational – Governance of IT Risk Management
- Policies and Procedures and Documentation Requirements
- Privacy of PHI and EPHI
- Incident Response, Containment, Recovery, Logging and Monitoring programs

Belgrave Travel Blog› entry 9 of 12 › view all entries
Today I was on the bus to the Puffing Billy. We had another good driver again.
We stopped off for morning tea at Grants Reserve which had rosellas, cockatoos and galahs all flying around and waiting to be fed by the bus loads of people who turn up. We had a chance for a photo opportunity after the morning tea. The driver came out a bit later with bird seed and at one stage I had a cockatoo on my arm and a rosella on my head. Everyone got a shock at that when they had a bird land on their head and sit there! Seeing some expressions was somewhat amusing. Anyway, after that my jacket was a bit dirty after the cockatoo was perched there eating out of my hand.
So then after a clean, we made our way to Belgrave for a half hour Puffing Billy tour. It was fun as you were allowed to sit with your arm and legs outside the train. Luckily the forest wasn't too close to the train tracks!
We then stopped at a small town - had a brilliant shop - Geppetto's which has brilliant puppetry and marionettes (which were just a little out of my price range). But I couldn't resist buying a couple of smaller pieces.

Visalians Inc., or Downtown Visalians encompasses about 72 square blocks of downtown and was formed in 1963 by a group of merchants whose goal was to keep Downtown Visalia healthy and vibrant. 1963 was the beginning of the chain stores fleeing from city centers to mall locations in towns all over California. Visalia's downtown lost J.C. Penny, J.J. Newberry, Sears, Montgomery Ward and Woolworth stores. The new Downtown Visalians threw themselves into promoting downtown and because of this early and steadfast commitment of these merchants, Visalia is one of the most successful downtowns of its size in California.
Downtown Visalians is funded by a surcharge on business licenses and fundraisers and is governed by a 15 member board of directors elected by the members and two appointed members. A member is deemed to be a business owner within the boundaries who can provide a current City of Visalia Business License or a business owner who contributes an appropriate Fair Share Membership fee.
Downtown Visalians employs a full time staff of four. Tony Greywolf, who is charged with keeping downtown clean and graffiti-free. He also works in cooperation with the city crews to maintain landscaping, planting and tree pruning. Lara Shewman is the Operations Director; Christi Metzner is Events & Membership Director and Elaine Martell is Executive Director.

International Congress on Medieval Studies
Western Michigan University, Kalamazoo
May 14-17, 2015
Western Michigan University, Kalamazoo
May 14-17, 2015
Ecocriticism is a burgeoning area of study among a variety of fields in the humanities, and has gained particular traction among scholars of the Renaissance and Romanticism, as well as of recent literary texts and cultural artifacts. Scholars of the medieval period have not been as quick to adopt environmentally sensitive ways of reading texts and visual images that survive from the period, but this is changing.
One important way that medieval ecocritics can engage with broader conversations about humanities and the environment is to consider what perspectives and insights the texts and material objects that survive from the medieval period can inspire, and how the study of environments of medieval period might influence the directions and conclusions of the broader field of ecocriticism. For instance, later ecocritics often assume that the Industrial Revolution occasioned a substantial shift in attitudes toward the environment. Medieval ecocritics, however, might observe that even within pre-industrial texts, we can find a variety of ideas and ideologies about the environment, and some of those ideas might have enabled the changes that led to the industrial revolution and subsequent uses of the non-human natural world.
The proposed round-table session seeks short papers (five to eight minutes) from scholars across a variety of periods and disciplines within the broad scope of the medieval, that would show how environmentally inflected readings of medieval art, documentary and literary texts, and material artifacts can challenge and enrich contemporary studies of environment and ecology in the humanities.
The session is sponosored by Medieval Ecocriticisms. Send proposals to Heide Estes: email@example.com by September 15.

Intel NUC Kit (Haswell edition) review – Inquirer
Product Intel NUC Kit D54250WYK
Website www.intel.co.uk
Specifications 1.3GHz Intel Core i5-4250U processor with Intel HD Graphics 5000 GPU, Intel D54250WYK mainboard, Intel QS77 Express chipset, 2x SO-DIMMs, 16GB 1,600MHz DDR3 RAM, 1x full-length mini PCI Express connector, 1x half-length mini PCI Express connector, Gigabit Ethernet port, 4x USB 3.0 ports, 2x USB 2.0 headers, miniHDMI port, mini Displayport, Infrared receiver, board 102x106x22mm, kit chassis 117x112x35mm
Price Kit £296
THE FIRST Intel Next Unit of Computing (NUC) machines made a good impression last year thanks to tiny motherboards, embedded processors and a thriving enthusiast community, but the systems were hampered by poor performance and a confusing selection of boards and kits.
This year's Intel NUC Kit addresses both of these issues. Under the bonnet is an Intel Haswell processor with an updated integrated graphics core, and Intel has configured this mainboard with better ports and sockets than the inconsistent selections on the older PCBs.
Components and configuration
The chip of choice in Intel's revised NUC Kit is a Core i5-4250U. Its key feature is the updated HD Graphics 5000 core in the system on chip (SoC) package, which is a big leap forward from the HD Graphics 4000 core included in older NUC processors.
The integrated Intel HD Graphics 5000 core has 40 updated stream processors, which is a big improvement over the 16 in the HD Graphics 4000 core. These stream processors can dynamically clock anywhere between 200MHz and 1GHz, a little slower than the 350MHz to 1.15GHz range in the HD Graphics 4000 core, but an improvement nonetheless.
The processor portion of the Core i5-4250U chip uses the 22nm Haswell processor architecture. It's clocked at 1.3GHz, and with Turbo Boost it hits 2.6GHz. The two cores are Hyper-Threaded, and there's 3MB of universal L3 cache. It's a step up from last year's processor chip thanks to its improved architecture, even if the Ivy Bridge based Core i5 in the older board ran at stock and Turbo Boost speeds of 1.6GHz and 2.8GHz, respectively.
The updated processor is paired with a 180GB Intel 530 Series mSATA SSD and 8GB of DDR3L in our NUC kit, and the machine delivered a reasonable Windows Performance Index score of 5.3 – also the result of the desktop graphics test. That's where this machine fell down, with better scores in every other category: the processor scored a faster 6.9, and the brand-new SSD scored a superb 7.4 in the primary hard disk test. The memory was even faster, with a score of 7.5.
The new graphics core is capable of light gaming. It managed a playable average of 36fps in Skyrim after we'd dialed the resolution down to 1280×720 and the quality settings to Medium, and it managed 62fps in Crysis when run at low detail levels. It handled less demanding racing title Trackmania Nations with no hassle, too.
The NUC Kit improved on last year's model while consuming less power. Its idle and peak draws of 9W and 24W are lower than the 13W and 26W demands of the Ivy Bridge-based Core i5 model. The board's tiny fan will be noticeable in a quiet room, though.
Next: Design and build, connectivity.

The stamp designs are based on six internationally agreed "Education for All" goals which aim to meet the learning needs of all children and adults by 2015.
The goal calls for better and more possibilities to support young children, their families and communities, in all the areas where the child is growing - physically, emotionally, socially and intellectually.
On 1 July 2011, first day cancellations for the "ECOSOC - Education" stamps were made available at United Nations Headquarters in New York, the Palais des Nations, Geneva and the Vienna International Centre as seen in the scanned FDCs' above.
STAMP SPECIFICATIONSFormat: 50 mm horizontally x 35 mm vertically, perforation to perforation
Perforation: 14 ½ x 14 ¼
The stamps were illustrated by Rorie Katz (United Nations) based on photographs which are credited as follows: US$ 0.44 (© UNESCO/Gary Masters); US$ 0.98 (© UNESCO/GMR Akash); CHF 1.00 (UN photo); CHF 1.30 (© UNESCO /Niamh Burke); € 0.62 (© UNESCO/Minesterio de Educación); € 0.70 (© UNESCO/Yannick Jooris).
The stamps were printed in offset by Cartor Security Printing (France).
Education is a fundamental human right and essential for the exercise of all other human rights. It promotes individual freedom and empowerment and yields important development benefits. Education is a powerful tool by which economically and socially marginalized adults and children can lift themselves out of poverty and participate fully as citizens. Yet millions of children and adults remain deprived of educational opportunities, many as a result of poverty.
Each year, the Economic and Social Council holds an Annual Ministerial Review (AMR), a vehicle for meeting the UN Millennium Development Goals by the 2015 target date. The 2011 AMR will be held during the High-level Segment of the substantive session of the ECOSOC in July at the Palais des Nations in Geneva, Switzerland.
The theme for 2011 AMR is "Implementing the internationally agreed goals and commitments in regard to education". There has been tremendous progress towards Universal Primary Education (UPE) during the past decade, especially in developing countries. Limited access to education, high drop-out rates and grade repetition as well as poor quality of education, however, remain important challenges to the full achievement of this goal. At least 72 million children of school age are still denied the right to education due to financial, social or other challenges, including high fertility rates, HIV/AIDS and armed conflict.
The Education for All (EFA) movement is a global commitment to provide basic quality education for all children, youth and adults. The movement was launched at the World Conference on Education for All in 1990. In 2000, the international community met again in Dakar, Senegal, to affirm their commitment to achieving Education for All by the year 2015. They identified six education goals which aim to meet the learning needs of all children and adults by 2015.
The drive to achieve the EFA goals also contributes to the global pursuit of the eight UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), especially MDG2 on universal primary education as well as MDG3 on gender equality in education.

- The African slave's voyage from Africa (Igboland) to the Americas and England[1]
- The journey from slavery to freedom and parallel journey from heathenism to Christianity
- Institutional slavery can raise the master as above man as the slave is forced beneath, both corrupting the master with power and crippling the slave with the lack thereof
Chapter 1 summary
Equiano's narrative is written in first person as a whole. Prior to beginning his narrative in the first chapter, Equiano includes several letters that identify him as a person. The opening letters explain him as a person and is used to exemplify his character. Before his readers indulge into his narrative, he makes it a priority to ensure that they are aware of his good character. This is a huge key for Equiano as it sets the stage for what is to come in chapter 1.
Equiano opens his Narrative by explaining the struggle that comes with writing a memoir. He is very passionate about the hardships that memoir writers go through. He explains that they often have to defend themselves from those who remain critical about the truth of their work. He apologizes to his readers in advance for not having the most exciting story, but hopes that it serves to be helpful to other slaves in his position. He states, "I am neither a saint, a hero, nor a tyrant." He begins his story with a description of his homeland and the district in which he was born. He was born in the kingdom of Benin. Benin was a part of Guinea. The specific district that he represented was Eboe. Eboe is in the same area as what is now, Nigeria. Within the district, Equiano was born in Essake, a small province, in 1745. He goes into detail concerning his district and the isolation of his province.[2]
Eboe, Equiano's district, was very established when it came to rules and laws of governing. Their system of marriage and law were strictly enforced. His father was an elder in the district, and he was in charge of punishing criminals and resolving issues of conflict within the society. Within the district, women were held to higher standards than men. Marriage was seen as extremely important. The bride's family was responsible for providing gifts for the family of the husband, and the wife was seen as "owned by her husband".[3]
Dancing was a huge part of the culture within the kingdom. All dancing as separated into four divisions of groups of people, and they all represented an important part of life and an important event in life. The kingdom was made up of many musicians, singers, poets, dancers, and artists. The people of the kingdom lived a simple life. Nothing was luxurious. Clothes and homes were very plain and clean. The only type of luxuries in their eyes were perfumes and on occasions alcohol. Women were in charge of creating clothing for the men and women to wear. But, as far as occupation goes, agriculture was the primary occupation. The kingdom sat on rich soil, thus allowing for health food and abundant growth. Slaves were also present in the kingdom, but in Eboe, only slaves who were prisoners of war or convicted criminals were traded.
Some hardships came with an unusual amount of locusts and nonstop, random wars with other districts. If another district's chief waged war and won, then they would acquire all slaves, but in losses, the chief would be put to death. Religion was extremely important in the Equiano's society. The people of Eboe believed in one "Creator". They believed that the Creator lived in the sun and was in charge of major occurrences: life, death, and war. They believed that those who died transmigrated into spirits, but their friends and family who did not transmigrate protected them from evil spirits. They believed in circumcision. Equiano compared this practice of circumcision to that of the Jews.
Equiano goes on to explain the customs of his people. Children were named after events of virtues of some sort. Olaudah meant fortune, but it also served as a symbol of command of speech and his demanding voice. Two of the main themes of the Eboe religion were cleanliness and decency. Touching of women during their menstrual cycle and the touching of dead bodies were seen as unclean. As Equiano discusses his people, he explains the fear of poisons within the community. Snakes and plants contained poisons that were harmful to the Eboe people. He describes an instance where a snake once slivered through his legs without harming him. He considered himself extremely lucky.[4]
Equiano makes numerous references to the similarity between the Jews and his people. Like the Jews, not only did his people practise circumcision, but they also practised sacrificing, burnt offerings, and purification. He explains how Abraham's wife was African, and that the skin colour of Eboan Africans and modern Jews differs due to the climate difference. At the end of the first chapter, Equiano asserts that Africans were not inferior people. The Europeans saw them as inferior because they were ignorant of the European language, history, and customs. He explains that it is important to remember that the ancestors of the Europeans were once uncivilized and barbarians at one point or another. He states, "Understanding is not confined to feature or colour."
Chapter 2 summary
Equiano begins the chapter by explaining how he and his sister were kidnapped. The pair are forced to travel with their captors for a time, when one day the two children are separated. Equiano becomes the slave-companion to the children of a wealthy chieftain. He stays there for about a month, when he runs away after accidentally killing one of his master's chickens. Equiano hides in the shrubbery and woods surrounding his master's village, but after several days without food, steals away into his master's kitchen to eat. Exhausted, Equiano falls asleep in the kitchen and is discovered by another slave who takes Equiano to the master. The master is forgiving and insists that Equiano shall not be harmed.
Soon after, Equiano is sold to a group of travellers. One day, his sister appears with her master at the house and they share a joyous reunion. However, soon afterward she and her company departs, and Equiano never sees his sister again. Equiano is eventually sold to a wealthy widow and her young son. Equiano lives almost as an equal among them and is very happy until he is again taken away and forced to travel with "heathens" until they reach the seacoast.[5]
Equiano is forced onto a slave ship and spends the next several weeks on the ship under terrible conditions. He points out the "closeness of the place, and the heat of the climate, added to the number in the ship" suffocates them; some slaves even preferred to drown, and one was saved but to be flogged later, as he had chosen to die rather that accept to be a slave. At last they reach the island of Barbados, where Equiano and all the other slaves are separated and sold. The author mentions the impact of their selling away, as "on the signal given, (as the beat of a drum), the buyers rush at once into the yard where they are confined, and make choice of that parcel they like best. [...] The noise and clamour [...] serve not a little to increase the apprehension of the Terrified Africans."
Throughout the whole passage, Equiano refers to white people as cruel, greedy and mean, and is very surprised by the way they relate to each other, as they are even cruel between them, not only to the slaves. However, as he meets more white people and learns about their culture he comes to the conclusion that the white men are not inherently evil but that institutional slavery has made them cruel and callous.

You cannot just put things off to deal with much later. You have to stay on top of getting things done. It may be frustrating and tiring, but that is just the way life is. Life isn't fair, and if you want to try to keep things in balance as much as possible, you must be willing to put in effort to try to keep things in balance. I did not do that, and I needed emergency roof replacement in Queens because of it. I could have saved money by doing the right thing, but I did not. Me ignoring things should be a lesson for everyone else.
I had a slight leak in the ceiling of one of my rooms about two years ago. I knew it because I could see the dried water stain on the ceiling. I ignored it and did nothing about it. The next four or so times that we had storms, I checked the room and did not notice any moisture. I launched into denial with the believe that everything was fine and maybe the problem with the roof was over with. But the very next time we had a much stronger storm, the leak was back. I saw it travel further across the ceiling and down one wall. But I still tried to ignore the situation, and I did nothing about it again.
One night, while my wife and I were eating supper, we heard a loud crash. We both got up from the table and raced around the house to try to figure out what broke. Soon enough, we walked into our guest bedroom and saw that part of the ceiling had crashed down to the floor. This is the ceiling that had a leak. My wife gave me a look and I knew that I was in trouble. There could be no more denying and I made a phone call to a roofing company as soon as I finished my dinner.

Last night the students from Blue Valley and Longview met at the HMS Beagle store in Parkville and very nearly completed the construction of the payload package. After the meeting last week they were prepared for the nitty-gritty of cutting foam and fitting all the pieces together. As the pictures show it went really well. At the meeting were some other folks observing, in addition to me, Fred, Vince, and Trevor.
We decided to do the release at 11 am so that two of the students could finish their ACT exam. We will be meeting at around 9:30am to start preparations for the release.

TURKEY TOWN, Fla. Perhaps one of the most frustrating aspects of turkey hunting in faraway places, besides hung-up gobblers, is the act of getting to said hunting grounds.
Yep, airlines have made it pretty tough on those of us who tote guns and enough camo to outfit a small battalion of Panamanian pirates. Not only do we get foul looks from the airline attendants as we set our gun cases on the counter, but most airlines gouge us for extra baggage fees and nail us with overweight charges.
Jesse Simpkins, VP of Marketing for Plano Molding, has developed a solution.
"I can get everything I need for a week-long turkey hunt in two pieces of luggage without either one going over 50 pounds ... one of those being my gun case," he says.
And when he means "everything" for his hunt, that includes fully packed turkey vest, two decoys, two pair of boots, rain gear, firearm, calls, Thermocell, three sets of camo and his normal assortment of civilian clothes and sundries. In other words, he doesn't pack light.
"I use an 1819 Sportsman's Trunk instead of a standard suitcase. It is spacious, rigid and is lockable … and it has wheels for easy toting through airports. The fact that it is hard is important, because I know everything is protected. I'd hate to have my favorite box call flattened, or my Thermocell shattered during transport!"
And using all available space is also important. Simpkins has some tricks up his sleeve for HOW to pack the trunk.
"I was able to fit everything but my gun in the Trunk! I stuff one boot with ammo, the other with the Thermocell. Just remember to place small items inside bigger items whenever possible. Once it was all said and done, the trunk weighed in at 46 pounds. So, no over-weight charge!"
Although he didn't have to utilize his gun case for anything other than his turkey shotgun on the trek, he oftentimes will utilize the extra space of his Plano All Weather Case on either side of his firearm to tote binos, clothes, and additional gear that didn't fit in his Trunk.
"Just remember to maximize the weight capacity of your luggage whenever possible. It's easy to get in a hurry while packing because you are excited about an upcoming hunt. If you just take a little extra time and select the right piece of luggage, you could save yourself a lot of money in the long run!"

Memories of south's darkest wartime hour burn brightly for bomb survivor
SHE was only five years old when the bombs fell. That was 70 years ago, but Betty Keogh remembers it like it was yesterday.
Thirty-four civilians lost their lives and 50 more were wounded as a result of the German attack on the night of Tuesday, May 31, 1941, the worst wartime atrocity south of the border during World War II.
Betty's family lost everything in the raid -- except their lives.
Yesterday, she returned to the house in North Strand, Dublin, where her family lived at the time of the tragedy and which is just 100 yards from where the last -- and biggest -- bomb detonated.
"It brings back so many memories being outside this house again," she told the Irish Independent.
"I was five at the time and too young to realise how lucky we were. This anniversary makes me sad for my late mother and father because they lost everything and didn't receive any compensation until years later."
It was on the last weekend of May, 1941, the start of a warm Whit bank-holiday weekend, that a single low-flying German bomber dropped four bombs on Dublin.
The first fell at the junction of North Circular Road and North Richmond Street, the second landed in Summerhill and the third in the Phoenix Park.
Betty's family lived at 10 Charleville Mall.
"We heard the bang of the first bomb," she said. "I remember waking up in the pitch dark and my mother and father at the window. Everyone was confused about what was going on.
"My father left the house to investigate. He was gone for so long, my mother got anxious, so she put myself and my brother Noel, who was eight, into bed and went out to look for him."
A short while later, the German plane's fourth and largest bomb, a 500lb landmine believed to have been dropped by parachute, landed nearby.
Such was the ferocity of the explosion, a tremor was reported to have been felt as far away as Mullingar.
"It was a huge bang all right," said Betty. "The whole back fell off our house. In fact, the backs of the whole row of houses fell out. I can still see the rubble like it was last night.
"I can't remember what happened next but my brother remembers this boy who was minding us leading us down the stairs of the house to get to the air-raid shelter," she said.
Betty's parents panicked when they returned home to find the house in ruins and their children missing.
"They thought we'd been harmed so they were delighted to find us in the air-raid shelter," she said.
Now living in Booterstown, Co Dublin, the grandmother said she had no bitterness towards the German pilot who dropped the bomb
"What happened was history and that's that," she said.
After the war, Germany paid compensation to Ireland for a "military error".
Today, at Marino College, Dublin, Councillor Ray McAdam and German Ambassador Busso von Alvensleben will officially re-open a refurbished memorial garden commemorating the 70th anniversary of the Dublin bombing.

Those eagerly awaiting a MacBook Air update will be pleased to learn that Apple updated the MacBook Air at WWDC in June 2017. Read our MacBook Air (2017) review.
However, the only change is that Apple has switched the 1.6GHz Broadwell processor for a 1.8GHz Broadwell processor. There's also a build-to-order option of 2.2GHz Broadwell processor. Broadwell is the generation of Intel processor from 2014/2015.
It's unclear why Apple hasn't updated the generation of Intel processors used in the MacBook Air since 2015. It would be understandable if the price had dropped on the model in reflection of its lowely status, but the price is still high - and since the demise of the 11in MacBook Pro in 2016 the price of entry has been around £1,000 (it used to be £749).
Like the MacBook Air update in 2016, this is a minor and frankly disappointing update. Hope of a proper update to the MacBook Air lineup in 2017 might have been dashed, but it seems that the MacBook Air still hasn't been killed off for good, which is some consolation to its fans.
While rumours have abound that Apple will kill off the MacBook Air, the WWDC update, although minor, had been predicted. According to Bloomberg sources: "The company has also considered updating the ageing 13-inch MacBook Air with a new processor as sales of the laptop, Apple's cheapest, remain surprisingly strong," wrote Bloomberg.
Will this 2017 update be the final iteration of the MacBook Air, or will Apple breathe new life into its entry-level laptop at some point? In this article, we round up all the rumours, hints and clues about the hoped for new MacBook Air release, including tech specs, new features, design, as well as speculation that Apple may be phasing out the 'Air' lineup completely.
For buying advice related to the current Apple laptop range, read our Best MacBook buying guide and Best cheap MacBook deals articles. You can also see our one-stop guide to the best place to buy any Mac. Also, if you are wondering how the 13-inch MacBook Pro compares to the 13-inch MacBook Air read this: MacBook Pro vs MacBook Air comparison review.
The MacBook Pro also saw a minor update, getting a processor bump to the Kaby Lake chipset. Read more: New MacBook Pro release.
A new model of the 12-inch MacBook was also announced, again getting faster Intel processors. Read more: New MacBook release
The 2017 MacBook Air: Availability
While Apple isn't listing the refreshed MacBook Air as 'New' on its website, the 'new' model updated in June 2017 can be ordered now.
The 2017 MacBook Air: Specs
Fundamentally, the MacBook Air hasn't changed a lot over the past few years, aside from increased RAM (4GB -8GB) in April 2016 and faster processors (1.6GHz - 1.8GHz) in June 2017.
It's the fact that Apple has essentially been updating the Mac with what would have been build-to-order options on the original 2015 model, rather than bringing the components into line with other Macs in the range, and other computers on the market, that has fans vexed.
The current model offers 12-hours of battery life, a 1.7-centimetre (at the narrowest point) design and weighs 1.35kg.
Thanks to the updates post its 2015 launch, it now offers 8GB RAM along with 1.8GHz i5 Broadwell processors as standard.
You'll also find the option of either 128GB or 256GB flash storage and Intel's HD Graphics 6000 cards.
Reasons why the MacBook Air is likely to be discontinued
There are a number of reasons why it looks likely that Apple will not continue to sell the MacBook Air.
- The fact that the MacBook Air saw only a small update in March 2016
- The demise of the 11-inch MacBook Air in October 2016
- Apple's own comparison of the newly introduced MacBook Pro 2016 to the MacBook Air when it was introduced in October 2016 - suggesting that Apple was pitching the new, thinner, lighter model against the cheaper model which used to be the lightest Mac laptop sold (hence it's name, Air).
- Speaking of which, Apple really can't continue to call this the MacBook Air when Air was supposed to signify the fact that it was so light... Now there is a smaller, lighter and thinner MacBook on the scene.
- While it is the cheapest Mac laptop, the MacBook Air can't really be described as low-cost. At the same time as the 11in MacBook Air was discontinued, the 13in variant received a £100 price bump, taking the new basic model's price from £849 up to £949 and the 256GB model up from £999 to £1,099 in the UK. (Read more about the price increase here). Not many people will want a costly Air with more powerful, and thinner, Mac laptops available for not a lot more. The MacBook and the 2015 model of the MacBook Pro (which is still available) both cost £1,249.
- There is some evidence that Apple plans to ditch the Air brand - it has already ditched the iPad Air. Apple discontinued the iPad Air line up when the new iPad, reviewed here, was introduced in March 2017.
- Even the 12.9in iPad Pro could be reason enough for Apple to discontinue the MacBook Air. The iPad Pro may indeed have been the killer of the 11in MacBook Air if Apple CEO Tim Cook's comments to the Telegraph are taken into account (published on 1 December 2015). Regarding the new Pro iPad, Cook told the Telegraph: "Why would you buy a PC anymore? No really, why would you buy one? Yes, the iPad Pro is a replacement for a notebook or a desktop for many, many people. They will start using it and conclude they no longer need to use anything else, other than their phones."
- At many times over the years Apple has had just two types of Mac laptop - the MacBook and the MacBook Pro, and we think it's likely that the company will return to that format.
With all that in mind it seems likely that the MacBook Air range will be discontinued and replaced by a lower priced MacBook range. In January 2017, DigiTimes cited Chinese site Economic Daily News and said Apple is going to drop the price of the non-Touch Bar 13in MacBook Pro and discontinue the MacBook Air.
It added: "Apple is expected to unveil a new 12-inch MacBook in early second quarter with an additional memory option of 16GB" - this would all but render the Air unnecessary to Apple, even if consumers might lament the absence of its lower price point.
Reasons why the MacBook Air might survive
While there are a lot of reasons why it looks likely that Apple will not continue to sell the MacBook Air, here are some reasons why the Air could survive:
- Apple would need to shave $300 of the price of the entry-level MacBook to bring it under $1,000 (it's currently $1,299). Until the company is preparaed to reduce the price of the MacBook by that much we don't expect it to remove the lower cost model from the line up.
- The 13in MacBook Air is currently $999, but the older 11in MacBook Air was $749. We'd like to see Apple reduce the 13in MacBook Air price to that level, reverting to that lower entry-level price.
2017 MacBook Air price
Considering the place of the MacBook Air in Apple's product line up we feel that it is over-priced at almost £1,000 for what is essentially a two year old computer.
When it launched the entry-level 13in model cost £849. It now costs £100 more than it did then. To make matters worse, before the 11in MacBook Air was axed in October 2016, you could get a 11in MacBook Air for £749. So the cost of buying a MacBook Air is now £200 more than it would have been two years ago, but the machine is essentially the same.
Perhaps Apple is neglecting to update the MacBook Air sufficiently in a bid to stop people buying it. Apparently it is still a popular option.
However, the MacBook Air hasn't always been the entry-level Mac laptop. When the MacBook Air initially launched it was quite overpriced for the specs, just like the Retina MacBook which launched in 2015 (about the time Apple stopped paying attention to the MacBook Air).
At the time the MacBook Air launched in 2008 the entry level Mac laptop was the old MacBook models - the ones that were aluminium, then white and black, and then eventually aluminium again.
Over time the price of the MacBook Air was reduced and those older MacBook models disappeared from the lineup.
It seems likely that the same will happen with the new MacBook models eventually replacing the MacBook Airs, at a lower price.
Until Apple is ready for the MacBook price to drop to below £1,000, bringing it into line with the current entry-level Air, you can expect the company to keep selling the Air. As soon as the MacBook price comes down, expect the Air to vanish.
Future MacBook Air specs
If Apple does ever update the MacBook Air, here is a taster of what you could expect... But we have to say, it's looking unlikely.
Retina display
Back in March 2015 we were expecting Apple to award the MacBook Air with a Retina display - years later and it still doesn't have one.
When Apple updated its MacBook Air in March of 2015, we had been convinced that the company was about to give the laptop a Retina display. Instead, it launched a brand-new MacBook line that's super-thin, super-light and does offer that high-resolution display, but does that mean Apple won't enhance the MacBook Air with a Retina display in the future?
If Apple wants to keep the price down maybe not. Find out what a Retina display is here: What is a Retina display?
The next-generation MacBook Air is likely to feature next-generation Intel processors, as well as graphics and RAM upgrades. Intel is shipping its Kaby Lake processors - that's the generation of chips after Skylake - and light years from the Broadwell processors in the current MacBook Air. These processors offer support for Thunderbolt 3, USB 3.1 and DisplayPort 1.2.
9to5Mac and TrustedReviews report that Apple has been in talks to use a laptop variant of Sonder Design's dynamic keyboard technology.
Sonder Design is famous for developing an E-ink keyboard, using E-ink to change the key labels on the fly. This means that the entire keyboard is customisable, providing multiple languages as well as contextual shortcuts from a single keyboard. It allows users that are, for example, editing in Final Cut Pro to look down at the keyboard and see exactly which tool they need to use without having to memorise them before hand.
What isn't clear is how Apple is planning on implementing the software, or which laptop it could be featured on, but it could theoretically make an appearance on the 2017 MacBook Air. Sonder has confirmed that talks between Apple and the company has taken place, although it won't comment on whether or not it's a deal - it has only confirmed that it's "closing B2B procurement contracts" with three laptop makers.
USB-C/Thunderbolt port
We assume the next MacBook Air will feature USB-C ports - which helpfully double up as Thunderbolt ports, a report from Taiwanese website DigiTimes seems to confirm our theory. It claims that Apple is planning to release a MacBook Air with USB-C ports in future, but doesn't provide a launch timeframe for the upgraded laptop.
"Currently, Apple has decided to adopt the USB Type-C interface for its MacBook Air, while Asustek Computer and Hewlett-Packard (HP) are upgrading one of their notebooks' regular USB port to the Type-C. Lenovo, Acer and Dell are still evaluating the option," according to that report.
This seems a logical step; the MacBook has just one USB-C port and the new MacBook Pro also features this connection type. It would still represent a bold move overall for Apple however - it'd mean all of its laptops would no longer support standard USB-A connections, a move sure to annoy a few people, but ultimately shape the future of mobile computing.
Apple Pencil-enabled Trackpad
While this isn't a new patent (it was originally filed back in 2014), a patent application has recently been granted that allows the Apple Pencil to work with Mac trackpads. What is most interesting about the patent is that it depicts a more sophisticated Apple Pencil than the one currently available, suggesting that the accessory is due to get an overhaul at some point in the future. It even goes as far to describe the Pencil being used as a general input device like a joystick or an 'air mouse'.
"Inertial sensor input may be gathered when operating the stylus in one or more inertial sensor input modes such as an air mouse mode, a rotational controller mode, a joystick mode, and/or other inertial sensor input modes."
What isn't clear is if the upgraded Apple Pencil will only work with certain trackpads - if this is the case, we imagine that the technology would make its way to the next-gen MacBook Air. However, Apple has a habit of applying for a patent and then doing nothing with it, so it isn't set in stone that we'll be seeing this featured on the next MacBook Air - but we can sure hope.
Touch ID and Force Touch
We expect this feature to come on the Air model - if it isn't discontinued!
There are also reports to suggest that it'll boast Touch ID within its Trackpad, which may also get the Force Touch upgrade that was given to the 13in MacBook Pro back in March 2015, and comes with the new MacBook.
Touch ID is the fingerprint sensor that's built into the Home button of the iPhone 5S, iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus and beyond. It's also used to make Apple Pay more secure and with the recent announcement of Apple Pay coming to Mac as part of macOS Sierra, this rumour makes a lot of sense.
According to an Independent report, Touch ID for the Mac line would require a dedicated chip to be built into the device.
The rumour started with Taiwanese blog AppleCorner, which cited sources in the supply chain. Apparently, the Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad may get a biometric update too, enabling users to make Apple Pay payments on the web, but both those accessories were updated alongside the launch of a new 4K iMac so that seems unlikely to happen anytime soon.
We'll be updating this article as more information about the rumoured MacBook Air emerges so check back from time to time for the latest news.

EducationEntering sophomore year at University of Colorado as Applied Math major with an Economics minor. My GPA so far is about 3.8.
ExperienceI tutored unofficially in high school in math, physics, and chemistry. I earned a 1990 on my SAT and my composite ACT score was 30. I also entered CU with a four on the US History AP test and fives on Calc BC, Statistics, and Chemistry AP exams. I have always enjoyed helping others academically, and I enjoyed my time tutoring in high school. As mentioned I took AP Calculus, AP Statistics, and AP Chemistry in high school and physics in high school and college (earning an A in both semesters both times). I have not been given a grade of worse than a B in any math or science class since freshman year of high school (this includes my one year in the CU College of Engineering).
HobbiesIn my down time I enjoy thinking and reading about mathematics, even if it has nothing to do with my classes. I also lift weights fairly frequently. Finally, I am a lover of classic Nintendo video games!

I never know how to start a blog post when I haven't shared a blog post in a while. An apology – "sorry it's been so long" – seems a bit self-righteous. I'm fairly certain you've been carrying along with your lives just fine while I've been offline carrying on with mine.
The "I can't believe it's been so long" seems so over-used and obvious that the words do little more than clutter up the page. I would like to tip-toe back into your inbox and with little more than a pleasant hello, but it feels a bit odd to carry on like I never went away.
I wish I could say I was out and about on a safari adventure or something equally exotic, but the boring truth is I packed up my life to move down the street and it took much longer than I expected to put it back in place. I make big excuses about getting my life in order to avoid writing and exercising and pretty much most beneficial things in my life.
I turned off my creative side for awhile, and today I decided to turn it back on. Given the somewhat disastrous state of my kitchen as I sit down to type this evening, I may turn it right back off.
While it lasts, I'm easing back in to things with this easy – and I do mean easy – chicken soup recipe. Pick up a rotisserie chicken, a carton of broth, and some couscous, and you are half-way there. All you have left is some spinach, an onion, and garlic. Give it a half-hour of your time, and you have dinner tonight and lunch tomorrow. So, hello again. Enjoy.
Chicken soup with couscous and spinach
Yield 4
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 1/2 cup pearl (or Israeli) couscous
- 4 cloves garlic, chopped
- 4 cups chicken broth
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 rotisserie chicken, shredded
- 1 bunch baby spinach, stems removed
- Parmesan for serving
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
- Add the onion and couscous and cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes. The onion should be soft and the couscous should be lightly browned.
- Add the garlic and cook 1-2 minutes more.
- Now stir in the chicken broth along with as much salt and pepper as you wish. (The original recipe suggested 1/2 teaspoon slat and 1/4 teaspoon pepper).
- Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce head and simmer, stirring occasionally until the couscous is tender.
- Add as much chicken and spinach to the soup as you wish, and stir until the spinach wilts.
- Top with Parmesan before serving.
You want to buy pearl couscous, which is also known as Israeli couscous, for this soup. Pearl couscous is pasta-like and not at all like the fluffy Mediterranean variety.If desired, you can also add a sprig of fresh rosemary to the pot when you add the garlic.

text: money matters Top 5 Apps To Track Your Finances Keeping an eye on your money. Share Tweet Managing your finances isn't just about curbing spending or saving more – you also have to know where your money is going. Without insight into how and where your income is being spent, it is rather difficult to save, budget or plan effectively. Still, tracking every bit of spending can be tiresome and perhaps even impractical when you have to sit down with a pencil and paper (or spreadsheet), trying to recall your purchases. Thankfully, with money management apps, you can easily input income and expenses in real time and have the app do a tally for you. Since there are tons of apps available, we've compiled some of the most supportive programs that you can download to your smartphone or tablet. Here are five top money management apps to try: 1. BNM My Tabung Launched by Bank Negara Malaysia, this app is made for the everyday user; it's light, has basic features, simple graphics and is easy to use. The app lets you input incomes, set budgets and record expenses to track cash and credit movements. You can also view the remaining amount left in the budget you've set for each category (e.g. food, transport and entertainment) and control your expenses accordingly. In addition, quick-glance icons give you an instant picture of your financial state. To make logging easier, the app comes with a 'favourites' feature that lets you add frequent expenses to a list. What's great about this app is that it does not require any special permission and thus, it's definitely one of the safer apps to use. Moreover, BNM does not store any of your information on their servers. The app is free and available for Android and Apple devices. 2. Fast Budget This app is extremely helpful to those who have trouble keeping track of credit card expenses. Input credit limits, interest rates, due dates as well as what you've charged to the card and the program will help you monitor when repayments are due. You can also check on your spending capacity to avoid exceeding the credit limit. Apart from that, the app lets you view your incomes and expenses with a quick summary based on day, week, month and year or by category. You also have the option of generating pie and bar charts to see your expenses, income or both in graphic form. The app's free version is quite extensive and sufficient for a basic user whereas the premium version (RM9.99) is ad-free and lets you export data to Microsoft Excel. One interesting feature of the premium version is a 'hidden wallet', which allows you to add income and expenses from a small business or hobby without interfering with the regular tally. 3. TouchStyle Users will find this app from Bank Rakyat designed with a clean interface and uncomplicated features. It'll most likely appeal to those who need support when setting and achieving savings goals. To help you reach your target amount, the app shows you just how much you need to put away based on your savings deadline. In terms of its basic use, you'll be able to track daily spending as well as view your commitments vs. incomes and how much you have left to spend each month. Additional features include a financing calculator where rates can be sourced directly as per Bank Rakyat's products or input manually. There's also added security through password protection. With this app, you'll need to register an account where you can access your data from any device, eliminating the need for synchronisation. This app is free and available for Android and Apple devices. 4. Expense Manager If you are looking for a comprehensive money management app that is sophisticated enough to cater to small business users as well, then this one might just make the cut. Use the app to track fixed expenses, incomes, savings, and loans as well as planning for side projects. Its attractive user interface, video tutorials and finance tips makes it one of the more engaging money apps around. Loaded with free and premium features, you'll be able to export data to Microsoft Excel, log transactions through voice recognition software and attach pictures, receipts and invoices as support documents. Even though this app isn't exclusively for Malaysians, the program's features are universal and can be customised for local currencies. 5. MoneyLover As a comprehensive finance tracking app, you can expect an immense number of planning and budgeting tools at your disposal. Use this app to track normal spending, create budgets, monitor debt, and set saving goals. Its features further extend to assist users to capture recurring bill payments and shopping expenses as well as spending for special events and travel. In addition, the app is equipped with a finance calculator to instantly compute simple and compounding interest rates – an especially helpful tool when choosing financial products. To make logging easier, you can even scan receipts and have the total automatically added to your list of expenses. What's impressive about this app is that it's categorization of expenses remarkably pinpoints the exact direction of your expenditure. With it, you'll be able to control your finances and manage debt much more effectively. Other Ways to Track Your Money If you need more help with tracking your expenses, try using less cash and instead more traceable sources such as debit cards, online banking and credit cards. This way you can monitor your money through transaction statements and stay ahead of your finances. Share Tweet Filled Under : generalmoneymoneymoneyfinanceapptechnologymoney

It's been quiet on this site for a year or so – and given how much else is going on, I figured I owe anyone coming here an update.
For almost the only time in my life, since January 2015, I have had a job title, an office and a regular income, as leader of artistic and audience development at Riksteatern, Sweden's national theatre. (A touring national theatre owned by a democratically-structured 'popular movement'.) It's been a weird trip, not least because there hasn't been much to show on the surface yet for the work I've been doing – though that will change soon.
As it does, I'm getting ready to move on. I'll still be working with Riksteatern, but less intensively – and the plan for 2017 is to spend more time writing. (Also to give this site an overhaul – including gathering up a bunch of my older posts that have disappeared from other corners of the web.)
For now, if you want to know what I've been up to… Continue reading Work In Progress

Dorothy began her yoga practice in San Antonio on a Tuesday morning in February of 2008, with a special Lil Yogi. She quickly became part of The Diva's at Hollywood Park, a group of awesome ladies who practiced everyday at 9:30am. Her yoga buddies were some of the first to know that Dorothy and husband Ferd were soon to be parents. Being able to practice this yoga during her pregnancy was truly a gift. On New Years Eve of that same year, their son Micah was born.
Over the next several years, she developed a passion for this yoga and had her sights set on becoming a teacher. She became part of The Union Crew in 2010 and completed her 1000th class a few months before attending Teacher Training in Spring 2014.
Dorothy was born in San Antonio, but spent most of her life on Oahu. After attending the University of Hawaii, she was a Flight Attendant with Continental Airlines for 12 years. She loves to travel and would love to start putting check marks next to her list of new destinations.

Name: Kelly Warren
Company: Give Lovely
Title: Chief Gifting Officer
Website: http://www.givelovely.com
Instagram accounts: https://www.instagram.com/givelovelygifts/,
Additional social media accounts: https://www.facebook.com/kellyquinnwarren,
About Me : I am a wife, mother and entrepreneur. I believe in dreaming big, working hard and loving always. I have 2 beautiful children and an amazing husband. We live in gorgeous Denver, Colorado. I worked in marketing in the juvenile industry for most of my professional career. I launched my company, Give Lovely, in October 2016. I have always loved putting together beautiful gifts for friends and family - choosing special, unique items I know they will love, and taking the time to make each gift feel personal and intentional. Give Lovely is my way of bringing my love of gift giving to others. I am passionate about creating a life where you can be truly happy and fulfilled. I believe you can be an amazing mother and partner while running a company. I started my company to create a better life for myself and my family. It is not easy (by any means), but it is important to me for my children to see me working hard every day doing something I love. Because I want to and because I can. My husband and I have a true partnership that is not defined by stereotypical roles.
What are your skills?: Marketing, PR, Influencer, Events, Photography
What is your education?: Bachelor of Arts in Hospitality
Interested in: Business, Collaboration, Sponsorship, Mentorship, Mentoring, Friendship, Playdates
Why do you want to be a part of heymama?: Community is so important for mothers and women, especially those who are entrepreneurs and creatives. I am passionate about being a "momprenuer" and creating a life you love. I love being a mother and wife, but I also love to work and create. I believe that it is so important for moms to be fulfilled in their lives and, in turn, they will be better mothers and partners.
What are your brand goals for this year?: Having just launched my brand last month my goals are to bring more awareness to my brand and services, become more connected in my community, and help and encourages others to follow their dreams.
Words you live by/quotes you love: "Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined"
If you want something, go for it. Don't wait for the "right time" or you will be waiting forever.
Best advice you've ever been given?: I heard this analogy from Alli Webb at a conference last year and it has really stuck with me:
There is a reason that in the event of an emergency on a plane they tell you to put the oxygen mask on yourself before you put it on your children....
If you can't breath, you won't be able to help them.
This transfers to life as well...
It is important for mothers to do what makes them happy, if mom is not happy/fulfilled your children will feel that and also be less happy.

n82, 11 Sep 2009I don't know, what is difference with the basic N97?It is a mini(smaller) version of the original. Has more memory as well but comes without the camera cover :( Also doesn't have a d-pad that you don't really need on a touch screen.
Dilip, 09 Sep 2009Every thing is fine but, I was unable to find the camera specifications.i believe it has an image capture of up to 5 megapixels. see: http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/news/item/10403_the_nokia_n97_mini_now_officia.php
why does everybody complain on THE MINI? u dont even know hoe it works and the nokia factory never does something worse than the last time! i trust this model very much
This phone gives Push Email option? What is the difference between Push Email and BB connect???
Have you seen the outrageous price on this phone?
It's 560!! That's like 100 more than the original N97(street price)...so much for mini.
Even in Nokia's Online Store the N97 is 10 cheaper than the mini...haha.
The N97 Mini is a beautiful phone, much better and looking then the plastic N97, and much sleeker. It's made out of metal like the E71. I saw a demo unit today at Nokia showroom, it looks and feels amazing, breathes pure quality. This is one classy phone, it makes the original N97 look and feel cheap. Can't wait til it comes out.
am I reading this correct?
3g: 850/900/1900/2100mhz?...quadband 3g, then that would be the only plus about this phone and the color
i have the n97. it's good, but not as good as it should be. this mini is nothing worth shouting about.
this phone is very stylish in looks. smaller than the N97 in size and screen and keyboard. i just saw the prototype 2day. it is amazing.
but for me i still prefer a bigger screen and bigger keyboard thats y i am sticking to my outstanding N97 ;)
this one is sub-standard designed phone..i think its a copy of many phones of othr companies...............

Campylobacter on chicken results show improvement
The UK Food Standards Agency has published the latest results from its survey of Campylobacter on fresh retail chickens, revealing a decrease in both the number of contaminated birds and those with the highest level of contamination from the equivalent period in 2015.
The results relate to the period from January to March 2016 – the third quarter of the current survey – during which 1,009 samples of fresh, whole, chilled, UK-produced chickens and packaging were tested.
The results show that Campylobacter was present on 50% of the chickens tested, down from 71% in the equivalent period last year. The highest level of contamination was found in 9.3% of samples, down from 21.8% last year.
The Agency says that part of the reason for the reduction in contamination rates is that some retailers and processors are now removing neck skin from chicken carcases before they go on sale. Neck skin is often the most contaminated part of the bird, but it is also the part tested in the survey, so that comparison of the latest results with those from previous quarters may not be reliable.
For this reason the latest set of results have not been broken down according to individual retailers as previously and the Agency has decided to stop the current survey and begin a new one this summer with different test methodology. First results from the new survey will be released early in 2017.
The full survey results can be found here.

the work of remaking America." - Barack Obama
Congratulations President Obama! Spread your goodwill!
I am neither an American nor a resident of USA but I honestly felt that President Obama may be the answer (apart from the nation's fervent prayers) to US' current crisis. I suddenly felt elated and weepy (ok, I am mushy!) because a lot of people supported President Obama. I also pray that he be guided by the grace of our Lord to rule a nation which can bring positive change to the world.
"Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again
the work of remaking America." - Barack Obama
Congratulations President Obama! Spread your goodwill!
Happy Wednesday! Bloghoppin' here... Hey, I have an interesting tutorial for you that I have written myself. It is about adding Adsense on your Single Post in XML template. I hope you'll like it! God Bless you!ReplyDelete
I don't think he is the answer. The answer lies on the American people who will be the ones to implement the change he will enact. But I don't have faith in Obama's motive ----that's why I did not vote. Though the past is not accounted for his integrity, but he has an adviser who is "racist" advocating the Black Liberation theology plus his indoctrination of socialism is kinda scary.
All we can do now is to pray that he can lead and he will have the right motive and principles to change the USA.
The answer lies on the faith of the Americans on God and in their country. Obama is not the answer.
Hello sis!
Pres. Obama had ignited so much hope even for us here in the Phil. May he indeed bring peace for everyone even outside US.
