Re: Was the Enterprise A actually the Yorktown?
The fact is that any work of fiction is a continual process of editing. What I mean to say is that if you, let's say, read a novel, you are reading the final-est version of the story which the the author sent to press. Along the way, the setting, the characters, the events and the order they happen in are massaged continually until they finally arrive where the author feels they best serve the story. But, in a sense, what you are reading is really just a snap-shot of the story in a given editorial phase.
Sometimes even the author isn't happy with it and wants to go back and fiddle with it a bit more. George Lucas is a prime example of this. For better or worse, this guy just can't seem to let his vision of Star Wars alone. There have been, what, three or four different editions of the trilogy with stuff added or deleted or otherwise edited in some fashion?
A weekly television show, like Star Trek is a different animal. The author (or in this case, Executive Producer supported by a number of individual authors) doesn't really get the chance to go back and monkey with it in hopes of refining it to a "better" post-release edit. But, they do get to edit themselves and refine ideas as the show progresses. As has been pointed out, Star Trek began with the Enterprise flying under EUSPA authority, then after a while became under Star Fleet command (while assuming that it was under SFC the whole time) and much later going from being an Earth ship to working for the UFP, again, with the assumption that it had always been working for the UFP. Also, the ship's power: In seasons one and two, most references seem to indicate strongly that the generation happens in the nacelles, yet many third season plots seem to indicate a backstage assumption that the generator was indeed in the hull at least near-ish the Main Engineering room.
It seems to me that this thread is mainly a few guys passionately arguing their opinions (dare I say evangelizing!). Depending on your assumptions, either position could be valid. I enjoy following Robert Comsol's mental gymnastics, but, if I have one criticism, it's that one need not be so violent about where one draws the G.U.T. line. You, sir, rail against Unified Theory attempting to tie together the entire franchise, yet embrace a Unified Theory tying together the original 80 hours, even though the evidence for an evolving backstage concept is readily demonstrable no matter where one draws the G.U.T. line.
Now, without going to re-read TMoST before I type this, my recollection of all the "Enterprise Class Starship" business is that this was mainly mentioned in memos written as the show was getting its "space-legs" so-to-speak in the formative times before "Star Fleet" or "the Federation" were nailed down.
I think it's fair to say that Gene Roddenberry and co. were probably on-board with the Constitution-class nomenclature from early on and that Kahn's viewer graphic, later recycled as Scotty's Tech Journal were intended to indicate a class for our intrepid hero's starship--other logical assumptions be damned. My reason for thinking such is that the original Star Trek Concordance which was made while the show was still on air states as much, and it was written my Bjo Trimble, who seems to have had extraordinary access to cast and crew while assembling her references. Also, GR's use of the term in his TMP novelization and in "The Naked Now" (the first production episode of TNG, when GR was still very much involved with the show) suggest to me that he was perfectly fine the Enterprise being a Constitution-class starship.
My take? I figure the Enterprise was built as a Constitution-class Cruiser. At this point it would be considered a "CRUISER-CLASS." After Kirk's first mission to the galactic rim, she was refit for a larger crew and a longer (read: 5 year) exploration mission and thus received the much coveted "STARSHIP-CLASS" status and got a shiny new dedication plaque to tell you about it. After that, it was decided to use Enterprise as a test-bed for basically everything and she was refit like mad (TMP) thus making her a unique vessel and identified as Enterprise-class (TWOK). Lessons were learned, other ships were built using the resulting technology. By the time of TUC, Enterprise had been destroyed over Genesis and all other Constitution-class ships had either been mothballed or refit to a common new standard (like the 1701-A in TFF and TUC), so they retained the Constitution-class designation, since all were the same now. Imagine some bureaucratic bookkeeping logic to make this all work and it makes sense to me, while still fitting all the on-screen evidence.
Your mileage may freely vary.
I'm going to bed. Later.

Re: Was the Enterprise A actually the Yorktown?
I only rebel when I see threads introduced which deliberately or accidentally remove already existing "threads". Usually the result of inadequate research and/or lack of interest ("It's just a Show") and/or personal bias (e.g. Romulan Star Empire crest featured in "The Enterprise Incident") or a combination of either three.
To me that is essentially bad and/or unethical behavior and I for one can't possibly accept this as a "truth". I do not try to find fault. On the contrary I look for solutions how to rationalize such latest revisions and alterations but, and again, it's these revisions and alterations that require a rationalization, then, but not the source material.
And the description of the mission and men clearly reads "Enterprise-class starships".
Had the Producers seriously accepted Constitution Class they would have never made any statements such as this because these definitely suggest otherwise!
And, again, the schematic of "Constitution Class" just popped up in the context of one of several "starship manuals" in "Space Seed".
It's possible that Constitution Class starships (16th design) are stronger than Enterprise Class starships, so in the context of the TMP novelization you'd wonder how your strongest starships would cope with the latest Klingon Battlecruisers.
Maybe I'm the only one to see a pattern in the M-5 attack on the other starships in "The Ultimate Computer". The M-5 didn't take out the lead ship but first and foremost a stronger one of the Constitution Class (USS Excalibur, NCC-1664).
As for the original scene in "The Naked Now", as blssdwlf has repeatedly noted, we do only see an Enterprise refit shape which Picard comments with "Constitution Class" (which NCC-1701-A obviously is). Here they could have used the erroneous screen graphic from ST III but still they didn't.
If the Constitution Class had been the first design series resembling the later NCC-1701 and the last to undergo a refit (NCC-1701-A) it stands to reason, IMHO, that 80 years later people in the 24th Century no longer make a Vulcan-style differentiation but refer to a particular line that's remembered best, i.e. the Constitution Class (which is my personal rationalization for "Relics" and the subsequent DS9 Episode with the erroneous deck numbering).
And I've presented a simple G.U.T. rationalization without convolution (and which has the advantage that it doesn't work at the expense of the original creators).

Re: Was the Enterprise A actually the Yorktown?
There are several indications that the pre-TOS era saw its fill of armed conflict (e.g. Donatu V) and starships with better firepower might have been the preference of these days (i.e. 16th starship series).
At the beginning of TOS (starting with "The Cage") we see an era of relative peace, so the Enterprise might have been designed at a period were superior firepower was a lesser concern and other capabilities mattered (before tensions with the Klingons and Romulans became a major issue, again).
And if the Enterprise had been the strongest ship in Starfleet, why choose her for the M-5 test and send two "inferior" starships of the 16th design (Excalibur and Potemkin) against her?
Since the other four starships were prepared only for a simulation, why didn't that smart M-5 computer take out the lead ship Lexington (17th design) first and go after the other starships in the following confusion and chaos? To destroy the "inferior" starship first while you still got "bigger fish to fry" doesn't seem that smart, but if the if the M-5 considered the Excalibur to be a bigger threat its actions would make more sense to me.

Re: Was the Enterprise A actually the Yorktown?
And even if we assume that Excalibur and Potemkin are inferior to Enterprise, why would that invalidate the M-5 test choice? They're still pitting the Enterprise against four "enemy" ships... on paper Enterprise should always lose that engagement, even if two of the ships are from the previous class of ship.
(And yes, I understand that your theory is that Excalibur and Potemkin were actually superior to Enterprise, but I'm addressing the question of why SF would send two "inferior" ships in the first quoted paragraph. If the 16th design was superior, sending one 17 against two 17s and two 16s would be even more unbalanced than if the 17th design was superior to the 16th. If they were even intended to be two different designs in the first place. Which they weren't. )

Re: Was the Enterprise A actually the Yorktown?
However, you may have a point regarding superior firepower in a series 16 ship over a series 17. At least in principle.
And, while I grant that you do indeed have a valid point, I'm still not sure it's a point that needs to be made. See my last paragraph in post #212 for an equally valid series of assumptions where the name Constitution still ends up on the series 17 ships. It also allows us to have our "Enterprise-class" cake and eat it too.
I must admit, you're about to inspire me to break out TMoST and try to suss out exactly when in the production timeline the Enterprise-class business happened and if it remained persistent after the "Space Seed" pre-production.
At any rate, I respect your right to hold your own opinion and I thank you for sharing it. It's been some interesting food for thought.

Re: Was the Enterprise A actually the Yorktown?
Let's not kid ourselves. Greg Jein's treatise is obviously the reason why "Constitution Class" made it into the Star Trek Concordance along with the registries in the first place which was adopted by the Okuda's Encyclopedia and therefore constitutes the "dogma" Dukhat found so funny (good, I'd rather be the reason for fun than agony).
"Millions" of fans accepted the content of these publications as canon and in good faith assuming that the "experts" had performed accurate research and would be able to provide evidence if ever asked for.
I can't possibly find fault with Jein's interpretation of the text in The Making of Star Trek that let him conclude there were only 12 starships in Starfleet and therefore the registries in the starship status chart from "Court Martial" belonged to these 12. Though I equally don't think that's what the producers had really wanted, my personal preference here is irrelevant.
The similar look of the 16th and 17th starship design would conveniently serve to explain the "Enterprise Class" (NCC-1701) vs. "Constitution Class" (NCC-1701-A) and be a historic precedent enabling the rationalization of the similar look of the 18th design (Miranda) vs. the 19th (Soyuz).
However, once we closely look for canon references on behalf of "Constitution Class" (and regardless of our interpretation of "canon"!), we will have to acknowledge that the only reliable one that suggests the TOS Enterprise to have been a Constitution Class starship is Sisko's remark in the DS9 episode "Trials and Tribble-ations".
P.S. Belay my "Trials and Trible-ations" assumption. I just realized we might be looking at a delicious inside joke only hardcore trekkers can understand and appreciate. More later, stay tuned!

Re: Was the Enterprise A actually the Yorktown?
All total, Lexington suffered at least 3 hits while the Excalibur 2 and Potemkin 1. M-5 was apparently putting more effort on the lead ship, the Lexington, but Excalibur was clearly the most unlucky when it came to receiving damage.
As to the "Constitution Class" issue, what's the problem again? Why can we not consider that the Enterprise when first built was a Constitution Class and then was modified to become a Starship Class and then later her own Enterprise Class? And then her sister ships were re-classified back to Constitution Class? Depending on when you describe the Enterprise, "Constitution Class" could be valid as a general class and "Starship/Enterprise" classes a sub-class.
If we look at the cruisers USS Boston and USS Canberra, they were originally Baltimore Class and then Boston was modified and became the lead ship of her own class (or subclass) which the Canberra joined. Both ships were then reclassified back to their original Baltimore class. And Starship Class isn't that odd when you think about the 18 ships and some classes named for "Cruiser Class" (as in HMS Cruiser).

Re: Was the Enterprise A actually the Yorktown?
I have another question for you: If NCC-1700 was not the Constitution, then what was it? Stone's chart from CM most certainly does contain NCC-1700. If indeed Enterprise is the first bird of the 17th series, then why is there a "00" ship at all? The concept that the "00" ship was the prototype of the series (being something other than Enterprise) and the Enterprise is indeed the first production version of the series, works nicely with the evidence of there even being an NCC-1700 and doesn't violate any quote of our much revered Mister Jefferies. I'm curious what you take NCC-1700 to be, given that it is obviously in the 17th series yet, being "00", would necessarily come before "01" in a sequence...

Re: Was the Enterprise A actually the Yorktown?
It didn't contradict TOS canon and he performed commendable conclusions in the first part of his treatise before he got intoxicated with his weird theory and then began to arrange the facts to conform to his theory.
The moment he said that starships beginning with "16" also belonged to the Constitution Class (beginning with "17" according to his theory) he could have noticed something had gotten wrong.
Usually you amputate the infected parts to save the patient, I don't think this is cherry-picking.
The missing evidence that the TOS Enterprise is a "Constitution Class" starship
As I've tried to illustrate there is no evidence whatsoever that either the TOS or TMP Enterprise were ever anything else than a "Starship Class" and/or "Enterprise Class" ship.
During the next-gen of Star Trek "Constitution Class" references popped up, apparently referring to the TOS Enterprise, which therefore merit a closer examination:
"The Naked Now" (TNG without R as in Retroactive continuity)
Data is scanning data files and schematics show up on his station screen, one of those is showing a TMP-style Enterprise. Picard looks at it and says "The Constitution class Enterprise, Captain James T. Kirk commanding."
Since they are looking up what happened on Kirk's TOS Enterprise in "The Naked Time", the TMP-style Enterprise on the screen seems out of place, but the one thing we do know about the "Constitution Class" from ST VI is that NCC-1701-A under the command of Captain James T. Kirk belonged to that class and matched the schematic on the screen.
For all we know this could just be a file cover for the history of the Enterprises under Captain Kirk and what we see is just the last one he did command. Considering Paramount Studios had used many TOS Enterprise screen graphics to inaccurately portray the TMP Enterprise it's strange these didn't come into use, now, where these might have been appropriate.
This is (correct) evidence that NCC-1701-A is a Constitution Class Starship and that's what we clearly saw in ST VI. (but what's up with these red marks Scotty put on the blueprint?)
"Relics" (TNG)
Here we have the pivotal scene where Scotty wants the Enterprise-D's computer to recreate the command bridge of Kirk's TOS Enterprise. Picard, like Scotty before him, enters through the viewscreen, chats with Scotty, has a quick look around and says "Constitution Class".
There are several noticeable differences that tell me that this is not the bridge of the old USS Enterprise but in addition to this one could of course be the bridge of a starship of the 16th design series or Constitution Class. A layman couldn't tell the difference so Picard merely mistakes the bridge of a Constitution Class starship with the one of a [Enterprise] Starship Class.
Where it gets interesting is Scotty's reaction "Aye. You're familiar with them?"
Obviously he is happy that somebody from the 24th Century is familiar with some details of Scotty's time. It's inconclusive whether his "Aye" confirms that this is, indeed, the bridge of a Constitution Class starship (but not of "his" Enterprise, gotta be grateful for little things) or whether Scotty remembers that Kirk's TOS Enterprise was a Constitution Class starship - which seems to be the general assumption.
But Scotty's memory is an issue and although during "pattern buffer hibernation" for 75 years his pattern degradation only amounted to 0.003% it obviously affected his memory:
"The Enterprise? I should have known. I bet Jim Kirk himself hauled the old girl out of mothballs to come looking for me. Captain Montgomery Scott. Tell me, how long have I been missing?"
Scotty was the eye-witness of Jim Kirk's apparent death in ST VII (Chekov "My God... Was anyone in there?" Scotty "Aye"), so he wouldn't have forgotten the death of his former captain and longtime friend.
Because of the memory loss inflicted by the transporter hibernation, add to this the intoxicating effects of real alcohol, Scotty is anything but a reliable contemporary witness and therefore most assuredly not the one to be quoted as "canon" for purposes to make the TOS Enterprise a member of the Constitution Class.
"Trials and Tribble-ations" (DS9)
After the unsuccessful attempts in TNG to retro-convert the TOS Enterprise into a Constitution Class starship the "honors" were passed on to DS9 and Ben Sisko turned out to be the "lucky" guy: "This was the first Enterprise. Constitution class." (so no one before, interesting! )
I really don't understand this obsession in the 24th Century with the Constitution Class and why the post-TOS captains and Trills constantly mistake the TOS Enterprise for a starship of this class. Let's "rewind" and see what Dax told Bashir and O'Brien:
"Chief, here are the coordinates. The Captain and I will start on Deck 4 and work our way aft. You and Julian should start on Deck 21. "
What do we know about the USS Constitution? According to the blueprints Franz Joseph made of her there is no distinction between main and engineering decks, therefore she has 23 decks from top to bottom.
But with the TOS Enterprise there is a clear distinction between 11 main decks and 16 engineering decks, I illustrated the issue at the end of this post on page 12 of this thread.
Since the TOS Enterprise has by designation no more than 16 (engineering) decks, it is a logical conclusion that Dax and/or Sisko mistook the TOS Enterprise to be a Constitution Class starship – with some hilarious consequences:
O'BRIEN: Deck 21. Deck 21. I said, Deck 21.
BASHIR: Maybe if you said please.
O'BRIEN: What's wrong with this thing?
BASHIR: Don't look at me. I don't know anything about this time period.
O'BRIEN: Maybe it's jammed. Help me get this wall panel off.
(A crewwoman enters and turns one of the wall handles)
WATLEY: Deck 15.
BASHIR: I won't tell anyone if you don't.
Of course, for the average viewer and layman the joke was that they didn't know how to use the turbo lift handles.
But hardcore trekkers know from various examples in TOS that it is possible to just say where you want to go without the necessity to hold onto the handles…so the ship's computer simply didn't understand where Bashir and O'Brien wanted to go because there is no "Deck 21" aboard the TOS Enterprise!
Of course both Sisko and Dax could have taken a history lesson by just looking at the TOS Enterprise's bridge dedication plaque to understand she was a ship of the "Starship Class" and not of the "Constitution Class", but they were busy locating the bombshell tribble.
"In a Mirror, Darkly" (ENT)
Frankly, I don't know what the producers were thinking. That fans were blind or didn't know that it said "Starship Class" on the Enterprise's bridge dedication plaque?
As a sub-classification a name class would have been okay, IMHO, but if it shows up on the dedication plaque, as it did aboard the USS Defiant (NCC-1764), the logical conclusion could only be that Defiant was supposedly a member of the Constitution Class, but the Enterprise was not – because it was a member of the Starship Class, instead.
The post-TOS producers successfully established the "Constitution Class" of starships in the canon of Star Trek. Once a footnote of a schematic on a small screen it become something much bigger.
But the attempts to retro-convert the TOS Enterprise into a member of the Constitution Class and establish it for canon based on solid facts rather than conjecture failed – not too surprising given the lackluster approaches and inadequate research efforts to successfully accomplish that mission goal.
Was the Enterprise-A actually the USS Yorktown?
I'd dare to say no. Both Jein and Joseph assumed her registry to begin with "17" which would be an "Enterprise Starship Class" vessel more or less according to Matt Jefferies.
Since she is obviously a Constitution Starship Class vessel, it should have been a registry that once began with "16", IMHO.
(I guess that was the longest introduction before getting to the point of an original topic…)

Re: Was the Enterprise A actually the Yorktown?
Actually, I'm more for rejecting Jein's numbers all together. I realize later day Trek went with them and enshrined many of them in the on-screen canon, but I'm willing to ignore such business.
I won't bother preaching on behalf of FJ's Star Fleet Technical Manual, as I know many people here simply won't have it, but I always thought his registry numbers (especially for the Enterprise sister ships) seemed more sensible. The way the Status Chart is played in "Court Martial" suggests that those ships are at the Starbase "now" and it always rubbed me the wrong way that nearly all the Enterprise sister ships would be there at once, being worked on.
On the other hand, I am in favor of MJ notion of ship numbers being DDSS where D is the design series number and S is the individual hull number, which would make the status chart showing ships of three different classes being worked on. Make better sense to me.
Anyway, I feel I'm beginning to ramble, so I'll go away now.
P.S. I was looking through my copy of the Concordance (which I expect is the same edition as yours, Robert Comsol) and you should look up the entry for NCC-1701. There's a little tidbit there I think you'll enjoy...

Re: Was the Enterprise A actually the Yorktown?
Personally, I would really like to use the Jefferies numbering scheme, but I'm convinced that it's invalidated as early as TWOK, when we see the Reliant, a ship with an almost completely different type of design, with a registry that starts with 18. According to Jefferies, this would mean she's the 18th cruiser design. The only way I think there would be an out is if the Reliant was NCL-1864, or something along those lines.
Now, that still doesn't make Jein's retcon and fuzzy logic on the "Court Martial" screen right, and I still don't accept it, nor do I choose to accept any of the TOS-R uses of the 16xx numbers. But, I also still accept that there was a U.S.S. Constitution. Frankly, I can live with considering the 1701 Enterprise class all along, as a subtype of the Constitution class, primarily because it makes the "Starship Class" thing make a twinge of sense. It makes sense to me that laymen in-universe wouldn't remember that the 1701 was actually Enterprise subtype.
And I still don't think the Yorktown makes much sense as the A.

Down by three with 30 seconds left, Carmelo Anthony drove down the lane, hit a lay-up, and drew a foul. He headed to the line with a chance to make it a one-point game, but unfortunately missed the free-throw, and then ultimately fouled out of the game once Denver rebounded his missed shot.
Carmelo Anthony had 27 points and 8 rebounds.
Amare Stoudemire 31 points, 11 rebounds, and 5 blocks.
Chauncey Billups had 26 points and 8 assists.
The Knicks were out-rebounded 62-42, and this is inexcusable.
If the Knicks want to win, they must rebound the basketball.
The Caveliers had one, two, sometimes even three chances at scoring. The Knicks need to improve their defensive rebounding because they cannot afford to give good teams multiple chances to score.
If not for Chauncey Billups in the second half, the Knicks might have been blown out.
Chauncey sat for most of the first half because he picked up a quick three fouls, but in the second half he lived up to his nickname; Mr. Bigshot.
Billups finished with 26 points, and scored 20 of those in the 4th quarter.
I love watching Chauncey move down the court in transition, look behind him, stop and initiate the contact with the trailing defender.
Billups gets to the line a tremendous amount, and when you hit your free throws at about 90 percent, going to the line is like free points.
The Knicks have had only one practice with Carmelo Anthony, Chauncey Billups, and Amare Stoudemire all together. There is no way you can expect this team to come out and win when they have not figured out their spacing and all of their plays yet.
I think that this team has a lot of upside, and I think that they should definitely make the playoffs.
As long as the Knicks stay in playoff contention, you have to think of these games as practices. The real game starts once the playoffs do, and I think that Carmelo Anthony and Amare Stoudemire will be ready.

Local psychiatrist develops relaxation program for PTSD
Indiana PTSD cases rising
INDIANAPOLIS - As Indiana cases of post-traumatic stress disorder are rising, a local psychiatrist has developed a therapy to help troops readjust.
As some Hoosier troops are on their third or fourth deployment overseas, it has some experts worrying it is causing an epidemic of PTSD.
In 2008, Indiana led the nation in the largest number of troops deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan.
According to the Indiana State Medical Association, one in eight will be diagnosed with PTSD, but the real numbers could be much higher.
"I've heard figures, as many as 50 percent of soldiers presently returning from combat are presenting symptoms of PTSD," psychiatrist Thomas Lamb said.
Lamb has spent decades treating and studying PTSD, which can cause returning troops to have a heightened stress level and upset their sleep patterns.
Lamb has developed a relaxation CD designed to lower heart rates and blood pressure.
Noblesville attorney Alex Nickloy has a long family history of service to the U.S. He deployed to Afghanistan when his daughters were only six months old. They were almost two when he returned.
He said he knows first-hand the stresses of combat, and he has seen his friends have trouble readjusting.
"In my experience, it's uncommon for anybody to go overseas and serve for any length of time and not bring home some baggage," Nickloy said. "The sheer need for the hypervigilance and heightened sense of hypersensitivity to everyday, minute details, you can't just put down when you come home."
Lamb said the key is to recognize symptoms and to seek help. Do not keep feelings bottled up inside, because symptoms of moodiness, irritability, outbursts of anger, depression and anxiety can all leak out.
"I have an opinion that if every veteran were given an effective relaxation training device, it would help them break through that stress. The suicide rates would be cut in half," Lamb said.
Lamb's program is available for download for any military veteran suffering from PTSD or service-related sexual abuse.

"It was taken very seriously by the hospital staff here and taken seriously by the police department, the fire department, and ambulance," said Burdick minutes after the campus reopened at 2:40 p.m. "We set up a command center as we should."
Hospital spokesman Paul Hopkins said earlier that the building and grounds were being checked by emergency personnel.
"The investigation is under way and we don't at this time believe the threat to be credible," Hopkins stated in a press release as the hospital reopened. "We do, however, believe all threats to be very serious."
The hospital instituted its own protocols, including notifying police and staff, and restricting access to the building by patients and visitors. An individual who had an appointment with the imaging department said he was turned away after a police officer told him no was being allowed onto the grounds.
The hospital itself was not evacuated and no one was allowed to immediately leave. Cars began to leave the campus shortly before the restrictions were lifted
"The hospital went by their protocols, we all worked together on it and it was resolved in less than two hours," said Fire Director Stephen Meranti. The director said a similar threat had occurred several years ago.
"Obviously, it tied up considerable manpower and resources," Burdick, who added that police have "developed a possible suspect."
An individual in Williamstown who was interviewed by Williamstown Police, according to scanner reports, admitted to calling the hospital in the morning but denied making a call in the afternoon or making any threats to the hospital. Police did not identify the suspect nor is it clear if it is the person police interviewed.
"There's numerous charges that could possibly be brought forward," said Burdick. "We'll have to wait for the investigation and consult with the district attorney's office on possible charges."

(CBS NEWS) - The flu vaccine may work better for women than men, a new study suggests.
Men with high testosterone levels had less protection from the flu vaccine than women and men who had lower levels of the male sex hormone. But overall, vaccinated women created more antibodies that fight the flu than men did.

Pragnell clock keeps time in the new Royal Shakespeare Theatre
Stratford-upon-Avon based jeweller, George Pragnell, has donated the new clock that keeps time in the new Royal Shakespeare Theatre's Ruinart Circle Bar.
The clock, which complements the restored 1932 theatre clock located in the Scott Bar, was designed and made by George Pragnell's clockmaker, Smith of Derby Ltd, and takes its design cue from the Art Deco architecture of the original theatre.The simple elegant black design is set onto the mirror behind the Ruinart Circle Bar and can be seen by visitors to the theatre. The clock maintains a long family tradition of support for Shakespeare beginning with the Pragnell Shakespeare Birthday Award, first awarded in 1990 and awarded this year to Sir Patrick Stewart CBE, followed by a gift towards the fundraising campaign to build the new theatre and corporate membership.Vikki Heywood, RSC Executive Director, said: 'The Pragnell clock is a lovely addition to the new theatres and fits in beautifully with the design of the building. Working in partnership with local companies is incredibly important to the success to both Stratford-upon-Avon and the RSC and we are delighted to work with George Pragnell as a long-term supporter.' Charlie Pragnell, Managing Director at George Pragnell said: 'The recent development of the RSC theatre has been a great success for the RSC and great for Stratford-upon-Avon. George Pragnell is very proud of our association with, and support of, the theatre. We have no doubt there are some wonderful productions to be enjoyed this year and we are keen that everyone gets to their seats in good time.'The RSC is currently celebrating its 50th Birthday Season, with the first new productions designed specifically for the new stages now underway. The 50th Birthday Season features Macbeth, The Merchant of Venice and revivals of some of the RSC's greatest plays, including a new staging of Marat / Sade.

Add Header to every email that DLP Touches
This is just for testing purposes and I will remove the header once our testing is complete as we need to see how long it is taking our test emails to move through our system.
I would like to know is there a way to add a header to every email that goes through DLP to just say that DLP touched it and at what time.
Comments 3 Comments • Jump to latest comment
Hi mike,
I think you want to perform your test using a network prevent server.
You can add a header to your email adding a response rule in your policy and choose action "Modify SMTP message". So if you want to do it only for test email, you can dedicate a policy to this using a keyword than no one else will ever use and so from time to time you are able to check if system is working or not (it is the best way to control DLP is working well as sometimes services are up but DLP is down).
Adding time will be quite difficult as i am not sure you can add a variable in header value. If you cant add it in header (or subject as you can also modify email subject) you can check in xml export of your test incident and you will have some detailed time value (send date, detection date, incident creation date).
But if you want to check if DLP will add a latency in messaging system, you also need to have time information from your current system without DLP.
Feel free to contact me via MP or email as i am always interested in this type of control/performance check of DLP system.
Defaultly, every email that pass through the DLP Network Prevent for Email server will be added a x-header that named X-CFilter-Loop, and the default value of this x-header is Reflected.
You can find out this on the server's advanced settings:
And, here is an example of the x-header of the email that pass through the DLP:

JGI's Mandrill Release Program ... Notes From the Field
Newest Crowdfunding Campaign: Seven New Episodes of Super Kodo, Popular Children's Video Series
This month, the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI) launches a third crowd funding campaign for 2014 to raise $64,000 by September 17, 2014 to create seven new episodes of the very popular children's video series Super Kodo. With 13 episodes already created, the series has been incredibly popular across many communities in the Republic of Congo where it was created. Helping young people understand the impact of their everyday behaviors, the video series inspires them to care about the environment we share.
Jane Provides Foreword in Former Student's New Book
With the increased commercialization of the illegal bushmeat trade across Central and Western Africa, thousands of adult chimpanzees and other endangered wildlife species like elephants and gorillas are killed every year.
I am outraged by the killing of chimpanzees and other imperiled wildlife species for the commercial bushmeat trade—a shortsighted and cruel practice that is pushing great apes and other endangered species to the brink of extinction.
As your constituent, I strongly urge you to support legislation to discourage the bushmeat trade and other destructive activities—like irresponsible logging and mining practices—that contribute to it.

It's official: Jourdan Dunn has a serious soft spot for Asian cuisine. In previous episodes, the Brit has cooked up Cantonese duck and spicy Thai beef salad, and in the season finale of Well Dunn, Dunn shows us how to make Chinese sweet and sour ribs.
After fumbling over her intro ("Wings? Ribs? We?") and butchering the pronunciation of Chinese vinegars ("Shoy..wait, Shao"), Dunn finally gets into the groove, and mixes up sauces and chops up ribs like a pro…well, sort of. It doesn't really matter since the end result is a plate of sticky, sweet, and sour morsels that are just beggin' to be eaten.
Check out Dunn's cooking segment, and a charming interview with the model below:

MLB: Joe Girardi signs 4-year contract extension with Yankees
New York • Joe Girardi's return as manager of the New York Yankees was all about family.
Girardi signed a four-year contract that could be worth up to $20 million Wednesday to stay with New York through 2017.
With the Yankees missing out on the playoffs this season for the second time in 19 years, the 48-year-old Girardi got an early start on determining his future. He went over several possible scenarios with his wife, Kim, and three children that included taking a year off, pursuing a broadcasting job or managing somewhere else. But they quickly came to the conclusion that six years in New York was not enough.
"It wasn't ever a lot of thought that I might not possibly come back. I just had to make sure that everyone was still on board," Girardi said on a conference call.
Girardi was in the final month of his second three-year contract (worth $9 million) with the Yankees since taking over for Joe Torre after the 2007 season, and he asked for a fourth year in the new deal.
The contract includes $16 million guaranteed and up to $4 million in bonuses, according to a person with knowledge of the agreement. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because financial details were not announced.
"Our lives have been here for six years," Girardi said. "I think stability is important."

Guest Speaker Tony Everett
The School of Business and Social Entrepreneurship Club would like to invite you to our next Voices of Business speaker series event on February 13 at 1PM. This event, featuring Tony Everett, will be held at the Business Building in the Innovator's Auditorium. Tony Everett, the president and founder of Pure Game will share about his non-profit organization that uses soccer to transform kid's lives.
Below is an overview of Pure Game and be sure to check out the video below:
"Pure Game is a unique teaching platform that infuses an untraditional style of soccer with a character-building curriculum for youth. The flexible small-sided Pure Game system allows us to play virtually anywhere, parks, gyms, parking lots or even streets. By using a formula we have developed, players are reorganized in to new teams after each game giving children the opportunity to play with and against each player in the group. There are no permanent imbalances in the teams' skill levels, and players don't have to be experienced. This is a part of the beauty and uniqueness of the Pure Game system. We use the most popular sport in the world to teach kids how to break free from their current circumstances and negative mindsets. We promote a life-changing message of growth and empowerment that helps develop every aspect of a child's life.
Soccer is an excellent opportunity to break down barriers that keep people apart. Differences of culture, language, and a general sense of mistrust can be replaced with confidence and camaraderie. As a foundation of trust is established, our kids become comfortable engaging in a relationship with us. In this safe and encouraging environment, we have an opportunity to instill values that will help them reach their full potential and make good choices that reflect the beautiful truth of who they are.
This relaxed, yet dynamic micro-soccer program allows kids to have fun and enjoy learning and growing. They are given opportunities to overcome their limitations, live satisfying and productive lives, and become capable and compassionate leaders in their communities.
For the children to be able to take hold of our core values we host a series of six-week leagues. This delivers consistency and builds trust, something most of these children are not accustomed to. During each session the children play six games of soccer, each five minutes in duration. The teams are changed every game and this is the beauty of the Pure Game system. Children get to play with and against every member in the group; there are no stacked teams, and no need to be an experienced player. Players hold their own league standing from points gained through wins and losses. This allows for the kids to own the game, if they want to be competitive and play hard they can, if they want to experience the fun of the game, again they can. Pure Game does not have referees or coaches; there is supervision by a qualified Pure Game instructor to make sure things do not get out of hand, but the players own the game. Doing this allows kids to learn how to manage themselves playing with the differing levels of abilities and competitiveness, they also need to solve problems, and resolve conflicts.
The Pure Game program is designed to recognize the child on the playing field over seeing the playing field with players on it. We do not coach children in what to do; we encourage children for what they are doing. This inclusive style encourages children to be the very best they can be and to realize they are capable of at least trying anything."
You can find out more about Pure Game by going to their website.
If you have any questions about the event please email the School of Business at email@example.com.

BE2012 - VMware/vCenter plugin without any servers
Hi there!
I was testing the BackupExec 2012 plugin für vCenter / VMware but couldn't get it working nor any real information regarding this product.
The problem is, that none of my VM, that I'm backing up via BackupExec / vCenter appears inside of the plugin.
According to the plugin none of my servers is protected - which is strange, because the backups are working (more ore less) fine.
I'm working with VMware ESXi 4.1 with vCenter 4.1 and BE2012 - a supported solution.
Does anyone hae experience with this plugin? Is it working at all ?
Thx for your help
Comments 3 Comments • Jump to latest comment
Would you pls confirm if the plugin version which you are using is 2.1 or not ?
Secondly, if the 2.1 plugin is installed, were backups run post the plugin install ?
You can find more information regarding this plugin @ http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?pag...

Improv and innovation
3:02 PM MDT | April 23, 2013 | By RANDY SKATTUM, GLOBAL BUSINESS MANAGER AT CELANESE
People apply what they know across all aspects of their lives. Some may use negotiation skills honed at the office in parenting at home. Others may apply a team approach from a weekend recreation league to a business project. About two years ago, Celanese, my employer, started its transition into a company focused on innovation, collaboration and customer-oriented opportunities while I enjoyed my own transition into a new product line management role. It was part of my job to support that innovation with strategy and marketing. I added a personal passion—use of my improvisational skills.
How can I suggest that good business can come from improvisational acting? It's easy. In a discussion about unmet marketplace needs and debate on possible solutions, we embrace an unscripted environment where the solution doesn't exist. We make it up as we go.
Applying marketing innovation concepts like integrating the voice of the customer and immersing the team in a customer-focused environment provides a platform and direction for new solutions. Using tools such as Robert Cooper's Stage-Gate—a product innovation process—improves the success of innovation development. Similarly, three core elements make improvisation more successful. These elements sync with our innovation skills allowing for a perfect intersection of passions. The result is greater creativity and overall success.
First, the core of an improvised scene is the acceptance of the initial seed—or prompt—received. This is when two actors begin an unscripted dialogue and construct a scene layer-by-layer. They build each line on the previous. Each line embraces the situation and extends the scene further and longer. Any rejection will kill the scene. The same is true in the business world as we contemplate the value we bring to customers. An initial idea is only the starting place. From there, we continue to build, to embrace the opportunity and to develop a new solution that exceeds the starting idea with something more valuable and sustainable over the longer-term.
Second is the element of spatial awareness. A great improvised scene takes place somewhere—anywhere—and the improvisation extends beyond the dialogue into the environment. An actor doesn't need to bring a kite on stage to show they are enjoying an afternoon in the park. However, an actor needs the audience and others to see from their actions that they are flying a kite and experiencing the park in order to sell the scene. Similarly, when we apply innovation in business, we cannot develop solutions without an environment. We must define the context where our solutions provide value, and we must demonstrate that value to our leaders and customers. If we don't take the time to show our value in its environment, we miss our on-stage opportunity in our commercial discussions.
Third is the element of group mind. After only a few weeks of working together, a troupe has enough experience to pick up on context clues and mannerisms to improve the scene's success. Not only are the actors speaking and demonstrating, but they bring a new layer of extrapolation into the dialogue, and they start to anticipate how the scene will unfold. For innovation in business, the collaborative team environment is crucial to developing and evaluating an opportunity pipeline. Once the team is established, they anticipate debate, identify logical gaps and improve the quality and creativity of their efforts. Yet, the group doesn't need to be static. Support and collaboration can be contagious. As new members rotate in, the foundational skills remain and a new set of opportunities emerge.
As I learned in my own acting experiences, we aren't improvising or using innovation without a safety net. We're working from learned skills that only help us take on the unknown with more comfort, a sense of creativity and a dash of additional certainty.

There was little protection for the quarterback. There were too few completions. There were minimal rushing yards gained. There was no pass rush. There was poor coverage. There were missed tackles.
Most glaringly, there was no leadership.
What player, what coach, and/or what member of management is going to emerge as the leader of on-field activities for the Jacksonville Jaguars?
The season is far from over, yet there is no hope for a playoff appearance. With continued performances like Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Bengals, the Jags will be battling for the first pick in the 2013 draft. While that may seem like a good option for some, it's not completely ideal for the organization.
The loss to the Bengals was more embarrassing than the thrashing by the Texans, because the Bengals are not that much better than the Jags. Sunday's game was very winnable.
If Kyle Bosworth doesn't fumble after making an interception, if Rashean Mathis doesn't drop an interception, if the coaching staff doesn't get cute with a first-play, five-wide set, if Maurice Jones-Drew had a lot more carries, if Blaine Gabbert doesn't miss an open receiver in the end zone... I could go on, but I won't. No one player or coach loses, or wins, games for a real team, so someone, anyone, must step up and change the Jaguars.
While the lack of talent on the team becomes more obvious each weak, Mike Mularkey was well aware of the roster before taking the job. Obviously, injuries have been detrimental to the team, but Mularkey referred to a plan for the season in his press conference yesterday. For now, technique coaching will take the forefront, as Mularkey mentioned that the one-on-one breakdowns led to broken plays against the Bengals.
Mularkey also spoke about missed opportunities for game-changing plays. That can't be coached. Either players have the special ability to be playmakers or they don't. Someone in a Jags jersey must start exploiting an advantage of or forcing mistakes by opposing teams and lead the Jaguars on the field.
Who will that be... MJD, Gabbert, Mathis, Brad Meester, Marcedes Lewis, Jeremy Mincey, Russell Allen? Who has the ability or the desire to command this group? That is a billion-dollar question.
There are four games until the mid-point of the season. The Jaguars will be heavy under dogs in all of those games. A 1-7 record will leave fans apathetic and EverBank field empty. All of the work Shahid Khan has been done leading up to the 2012 season will be meaningless, if the team isn't competitive.
Should no leader emerge, and the Jags spin out of control, Mr. Khan will have to find new leadership in all areas of on-field performance. There should already be a given in one department, but a single change may not be the correct move.
Fans have proven that they are "All In." Players, coaches and Mr. Khan must prove the same thing.
Claw Marks
• The play of the game for the Jaguars was made by Jaxson. His kickoff return catch may have been the best play that I've ever seen from a mascot.
• Hochuli! Hochuli! Hochuli! Fans in attendance were able to see celebrity referee Ed Hochuli. Unfortunately, that turned out to be the highlight of the day, behind Jaxson's catch, of course.
• Justin Blackmon must start playing like a #5 draft choice. I hope he has realized that his talent needs elite NFL work ethic in order for him to succeed.
• Seeing Rashad Jennings get the ball before MJD made me wonder if the Jags were trying to send a message to MJD. I've written before that I want both backs in the game together, but there's no need to get too cute, especially after opening the game with an empty backfield.

This brat ruined a lovely relaxing walk a few weeks back.This photo was taken before he caused single paw'd two fights in 4 minutes.
Poor aul Shadow just isnt up to it any more,,just as well Baily was around to put her oar in so to speak.
I can not for the life of me understand how owners let dogs like this out of lead.
Muzzled and under control.
End of problem.
Nice looking dog pity about the aggressive tendencies.
The owner would be the first to sing there dog responsibilities are second to none,,,,I wish.
I do think strongly that owners and there dogs should be reported for their neglect.

Print out this picture and your writeup and take it with you on your next walk. Surely there must be an owner somewhere nearby to give it to. Not nice to be an irresponsible owner - in fact, it could be dangerous.
Nominating Constructive Critique
He looks like he has a luggage label on his collar, put him on the nearest aeroplane to the furthest destination possible! Such a shame that there are so many irresponsible owners around, they should be hauled over the coals for allowing their dog to roam free and cause no end of trouble. Carol

Firstly can I say I agree entirely with you about out of control dogs! Why oh why can't owners take control? Nuff said!!
Congrats on getting such a great shot before it all kicked off!
Nominating Constructive Critique
A great shot - some dogs are trained well but unfortunately some are not - I took some shots of a beagle pack at the week end and the control over 29 dogs (14 pairs + 1) was a pleasure to watch especially good when you think of how excited they were to go for their walk

I always feel sorry for the dogs .... if not trained properly .... how do they know
I cross over the road sometimes just to avoid confrontation ... first with the dog and then the owner

No owner likes to have a difficult dog, so although I'd say blame the owner not the dog, give the benefit of the doubt first, and suggest that they teach their dog a good recall so it does not cause trouble. They may be very embarrassed and troubled by their dogs behaviour, but will defend them if you are hostile. They may not be, in which case remind them its their legal responsibility to keep the dog under control! Best to keep a good distance between your lot and any shady looking characters, should be possible on a beach. Maybe this is just an insecure dog who's owner has just watched too many Dog whisperer programmes and decided to grapple him to the ground to 'cure him'. Cue an insecure dog who is even more insecure as he can't even trust his owner. Who knows.

- Preheat the oven to fan 160C/ conventional 180C/gas 4. Butter a 20 x 13cm loaf tin and line the base with greaseproof paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the butter and sugar with an electric whisk until creamy. Beat in the eggs one at a time (don't worry that the mixture looks curdled). Stir in the mashed bananas, pecans, raisins and buttermilk.
- Sift the flour and bicarbonate of soda on top of the banana mixture, then fold in until evenly mixed, taking care not to overmix. Spoon into the prepared tin and level the top.
- Bake for 1 hour 15 minutes until a skewer pushed in the centre comes out almost, but not quite, dry. Remove from the oven and leave for about 10 minutes, then turn it out of the tin on to a cooling rack to cool.
- For the icing, mix the icing sugar with 2-3 tsp cold water to give a smooth, runny consistency. Using a dessertspoon, drizzle the icing in lines across the loaf.

Comments, questions and tips
I have just made this today. It was lovely, few alterations made, didn't use buttermilk, I found the mixture wet enough, put double quantity of fruit as didn't have pecan. Rather than make it in a loaf I made them in bun tins. I find I am more disciplined if they are in individual portions!! Although I have just had 2!!!
My oven cooked the loaf in an hour, but I think I should have removed the cake from the oven about five minutes earlier. My fault! So I end up with a nearly burnt cake, but tasted very nice nevertheless. I used raisins this time but, to my taste, the recipe will be improved by adding chocolate chips, or some type of berry instead. I will definitely try it again.
Found this recipe when off work and looking for things to do, making it without Buttermilk (as per suggestions in the comments - thanks) and substituted 50g of sultanas and 50g of fresh Blueberries for the raisins & pecans... I loved it, family (including our 3 yr old) & friends loved it too. Now the post christmas glut is over, its time to use up the left overs - including more bananas - so what better to do with them than to remake this banana loaf. If all recipies are so easy & successful I think I may be a baking convert. Yummy!
I have just finished baking this cake and just had to have a taster really lovely cake.
My oven tends to get really hot so I had to take it out 20min before the time as the top started to go a darker shade of brown. It was cooked perfectly.
Lots of you have not bothered with buttermilk its really easy to do. Just warm the required milk in the microwave for 30 seconds (I used semi-skimmed milk) and then shake a few drops of lemon juice in it, give a quick stir and leave it for a couple of minutes should be a bit lumpy and then add it to your ingredients. No need to buy this stuff.
I tend to keep a bottle of lemon juice in the fridge.
I added walnuts and sultanas instead of raisins and plain yogurt instead of buttermilk. It turned out amazing (even though it fell out of the oven half way through cooking!!..I'm so clumsy! and a disaster in the kitchen). Its really given me a boost to try other things! I have another in the oven cooking now as I want to show off to family and friends!!!!

How to create folders and add apps to your iPhone 6s and...
Keep your Home screen clutter-free by creating folders.
Your iPhone and iPad Home screens can hold dozens and dozens of apps, but thanks to folders, that number leaps up to thousands. If your Home screen is getting a bit messy, consider folders to help you collect and organize apps of a similar type, color, style, or whatever specifics you dictate.How create folders on your iPhone or iPad
- Go to your Home screen.
- Touch and hold on the app you want to create a folder for until all apps begin to jiggle and you enter Edit mode. (If you have an iPhone 6s and press too hard, you'll trigger 3D Touch; tap and hold lightly to enter Edit mode.)
- While continuing to hold your finger down on the app, drag it on top of another app you want in the same folder.
- If you don't like the automatic name iOS creates for your folder, tap the name field and change it to anything you like, then tap Done.
- Tap outside the folder area to return to the Home screen.
- Drag any additional apps that you want in the folder onto the folder.
- Click the Home button to exit Edit mode and complete the new folder.
- Go to your Home screen.
- Touch and hold on the app you want to add to your folder until all apps begin to jiggle and you enter Edit mode.
- While continuing to hold your finger down on the app, drag it to the folder.
- Release your finger to drop it into the folder.
- Drag any additional apps that you want onto that folder.
- Click the Home button to exit Edit mode.
- Go to your Home screen and tap the folder in question.
- Touch and hold on an app in the folder to enter Edit mode.
- Drag all apps out of the folder, at which point it will disappear.
Let us know below!

App Store bug fixed, apps returning to purchase history
If you were missing apps in your purchase history, good news—they're coming back!
A couple of weeks ago Mac App Store apps disappeared from the purchase history tab, making re-downloads impossible. It was a bug, Apple fixed it, and purchase histories were restored. Now a similar bug has been fixed on the iOS App Store, and purchase histories there are also being restored.
Just like with the Mac App Store, iPhone and iPad owners began noticing apps and games were missing from their purchase history earlier this week. Since the App Store is often a black box, lots of speculation followed. Fortunately, the simple answer in this case was the correct one.
Not all apps are back yet, but should be as the fix rolls out.
Note: Developers can still remove apps permanently if they choose to, for example if web services shut down or the code no longer works with modern devices. In those cases, when the apps wouldn't work anymore anyway, there's nothing to be done, even by Apple. It's the developer's call.
Otherwise, if you noticed you couldn't re-download some old apps and games, hang tight. They're on their way back!

App Store removes VPN-based ad blockers over privacy conc...
VPN profile apps don't just block ads, they deeply inspect all your traffic, even private and secure traffic.
While Apple has provided a mechanism to create safe, private content blocking extensions for Safari on iPhone and iPad, in the last few days apps have taken it a step further, installing root certificates in order to block ads inside apps as well.
The problem with these blocker apps is that they work by installing VPN profiles, which means they intermediate secure connections and "see" all your private internet traffic. They are, essentially, a voluntary person-in-the-middle attack. For that reason, Apple is removing them from the App Store. Here's the statement Apple provided me:
"Apple is deeply committed to protecting customer privacy and security," an Apple spokesperson told iMore. "We've removed a few apps from the App Store that install root certificates which enable the monitoring of customer network data that can in turn be used to compromise SSL/TLS security solutions. We are working closely with these developers to quickly get their apps back on the App Store, while ensuring customer privacy and security is not at risk."
I was surprised the VPN profile-based ad blocking apps were approved to begin with. Marketing a VPN is one thing. It's crystal clear what it is what's happening when you use it. Marketing an in-app ad blocker that happens to work through a VPN isn't so clear. People may really want the former and not understand the consequences of the latter.
In other words, deep packet inspection of everything done on the internet by the ad-blocking app, even secure financial transactions and communications, on their servers and any servers involved in their chain, and in a way that's not easily toggled on or off.
Again, Apple is still allowing VPN apps on the store. iOS 9 introduced new network extensions for both personal and corporate VPNs. They're just not allowing ad-blockers based on VPN profiles.
There will no doubt be complaints from people who think they want these apps and these types of services, and from developers who make the apps. But the potential risk of abuse is simply too high.
Some will also question Apple's choice in allowing content-blockers for Safari but not for apps. The difference is that the WebKit/Safari team spent time creating a private, secure way to block content in Safari that doesn't allow the blocker to do any tracking of its own. They're precompiled and at no point to they get to see what you're doing or where you're doing it.
While Apple has done things like ban the use of cross-app tracking through mechanisms like UDID, there's not yet a similarly private, secure way to block content in apps.
Unless and until that changes, allowing these VPN profile-based content blockers in the App Store goes against Apple's privacy and security policies, which the company has made a major, top-down, front-facing feature of the platform.

SIM-free iPhone 6s, 6s Plus now available at Apple Online...
For those looking to buy the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus unlocked, Apple has started selling SIM-free variants of both handsets. The unlocked version of the iPhone 6s has the model number A1633, while the 6s Plus is A1634.
From Apple:
The SIM-free iPhone comes without a wireless contract commitment or carrier financing. It doesn't come with a nano-SIM card for iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, or iPhone 5s. And because it's unlocked, it isn't tied to one carrier, so you can get a nano-SIM from any supported carrier worldwide, such as AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, or Sprint in the United States.
You can also use the device on a wide variety of international carriers.
The caveat here is that going SIM-free entails full upfront payment for the phone, with no carrier incentives available. Here's how much you'll be shelling out for the new iPhones:iPhone 6s:

How to remove root certificates from your iPhone or iPad
Root certificates, when not required, can jeopardize your security and expose your private information.
Apple has removed root certificate-based ad blockers from the App Store because they pose a potential privacy and security risk. To get the root certificates off your iPhone or iPad, however, you need to dive into Settings. Here's how to do it!How to delete root certificates from your iPhone or iPad
Removing a root certificate—sometimes conflated with VPN profile—isn't obvious, but it is easy once you know how.
- Launch Settings from your Home screen.
- Tap on General.
- Tap on Profile.
- Tap on the profile you want to delete.
- Tap Delete profile.
- Enter your passcode if prompted.
- Tap Delete to confirm.
That's it. The root certificate is now deleted and will no longer be able to do any deep packet inspection of your web activity, secure transactions, private communications, or anything else of the kind.

HTC M8 Real Life Photo Leaked, Has 2 Camera For Real!
What we have here is allegedly the real-life photo of the HTC M8 , the successor to the HTC One. Judging by the photo, it doesn't seem like this is fake, it does have camera's as rumors suggested.
What we know is that it probably wont be a 3D camera since that technology is almost dead, also it doesn't look like a fingerprint scanner on the HTC One Max. According to analysts, the best bet that they can place is that the second camera would be used for low light shooting capabilities to enhance such photos. This is also backed up by the fact that there are dual-LED lights on the back so we know that HTC want's this right real bad.

Today's nails design was suggested by a friend and I really can't believe I haven't thought to do this before! You may have heard of galaxy nails, well I've taken them to a new level and literally painted our little part of the Milky Way on to my digits! Today, I'd like to introduce you to my elusive right hand. I'm pretty certain it's only ever been spotted here once before.
Since Pluto was a planet when I was taught 'The Solar System' in school, I added him in too but it was so awkward taking these photos and trying to get it all in!
I used (the aptly named) W7 Metallic Neptune as a base and then sponged on Essence Choose Me and another polish (but I've completely forgotten what it was) to get the galaxy look. The sun and all the planets are completely freehanded using nail art brushes. The black outlines are acrylic paint.

It turns out that babies -- and their stuff -- are becoming a headache in Washington. And not just to their parents.
For the second time in as many days, there's been a tot-related security scare in the nation's capital.
The visitor's center of the U.S. Capitol was closed briefly Friday morning after authorities found an unattended stroller outside. A U.S. Capitol Police spokesman said the stroller was deemed "non-hazardous."
Just a few hours earlier, Secret Service agents had their own small-scale security breach to contend with: a toddler who squeezed through the fence in front of the White House residence Thursday night, as media were packed in the press offices awaiting President Obama's remarks on Iraq.
The brief kerfuffle as agents scrambled to intercept the pint-sized intruder confirmed what most people know: toddlers are sneaky, and fast. This one was promptly returned to his parents.
The little guy didn't get in any trouble -- at least, not with the feds.
And he was unavailable for comment -- to anyone -- for at least a few more months.
