The iPhone has re-defined mobile computing. Personally I have quite a history in the world of mobile computing. I was an early adopter of the Palm Pilot and eventually the Palm Trio which was one of the early true smart phones. The iPhone changed everything, in typical Apple fashion they took a complex device and made it simpler to use, this ease of use made the iPhone accessible to the masses. Here is a short history for those of you new to the iPhone or simply want to look back at the history and make up of this revolutionary device.
According to Wikipedia the iPhone is defined as:
The iPhone ( ) is a line of Internet and multimedia-enabled smartphones designed and marketed by Apple Inc. The first iPhone was introduced on January 9, 2007.
A combination camera phone, PDA, multimedia player, and wireless communication device made by Apple Inc
When the iPhone was originally released it caused a huge media uproar. The iPhone truly promoted its self.
The basics of the iPhone Platform
Like most new Apple products, the iPhone uses a "multi-touch screen" input system. This means a virtual keyboard (as opposed to the physical keyboard in front of a laptop) that you use with your fingers instead of an unreliable and difficult-to-get-used-to stylus.
The visual interface of the iPhone uses a "home screen" to list available functions. Think of the home screen as your laptop's desktop — the home screen is essentially a graphic list of your various apps. iPhone users can perform multiple tasks at once, like using apps while making a phone call or watching a movie. There's a built-in "home" button on the iPhone itself, so you can get to your home screen quickly. When you unpack your iPhone, the following apps will be available — Messages (text messaging), Calendar, Photos, Camera, YouTube, Stocks, Maps (through Google Maps), Weather, Voice Memos, Notes, Clock, Calculator, Settings, iTunes (this is the iTunes store), App Store, and in some models an app called Compass.
The purpose of the iPhone is to take phones to the next level. The ideal iPhone user will access email and social networking sites, make phone calls, watch videos, listen to music, and play a few app games along the way. That means the iPhone is not meant to be a computing powerhouse, but a convenience tool.
There are tons of Apps: Where do they come from?
When the iPhone first came out it was a locked down platform. There were no apps other than what Apple packaged with the product. Apple and Steve Jobs denied any interest in opening app development up to developers who wanted to create software for the platform. While rumors of an open platform for apps on the iPhone was in its infancy I created and started iPhone App Review. In hind site, it was a smart decision.
To disseminate new apps, Apple depends on something called the "App Store", launched a year and a half after the first iPhones. The App Store is stocked with more than 200,000 applications designed for the iPhone and approved for use by Apple. There's no easy way to describe apps — some are games, some are for information or reference, some use GPS navigation to provide directions or maps, social networking tools like Facebook, and special apps designed as tie-ins with TV, movies, and celebrities. Apps can be whatever their designer wants them to be, as long as they meet Apple's standards. That means no porn, etc.
Are there different versions of the iPhone
There are currently four models (generations) of iPhones, each accompanied by a release of a new operating system. Formerly called iPhone OS, the name was eventually changed to iOS so it could be used in other products like the iPad and iPod Touch.
The original iPhone line set the iPhone standard in terms of the seize of the screen, the hardware, etc. The release of the iPhone 3G married iPhone function to the powerful 3G cell network, and thew in something called A-GPS as well, used to locate the phone and help with features like mapping and shopping. The next version, iPhone 3GS, added the compass feature, pumped up the processor, provided a better (higher resolution) camera, and gave users the options of taking video as well as photo stills. The newest model, iPhone 4, uses a two camera setup to incorporate something called FaceTime video dialing, and to provide a higher-resolution display screen. That means it looks prettier. The iPhone 4 came out on June 24th, 2010.
Rumors of the iPhone 5 are on the internet and a release date is rumored to be this fall. Apple has released an updated iPhone on an annual basis, each adding new and improved features. While the Apple has had its share of mishaps (Google Antenna gate) it is clearly the market leader for smart phones and mobile computing.

I feel at home here, and love that feeling in a company. A feeling of care and customer well-being that most companies lack. I've been here since late 2004, which was my first plunge in paid hosting, and I'm gladly here to stay. And, as you can see by such an active community (especially for a company forum that we do not get paid for by posting), many feel the same. It's like a family here.

Cheers and jeers
CHEERS – To a done deed. The deed to the former Tryon Detention Center is now officially the property of the Fulton County Industrial Development Agency. We are pleased the IDA has not sat idle waiting for ownership but instead has been proactive. In June 2011, when state officials were trying to decide what would happen with the 450-acre site, a group of our local officials was picturing the future for this region and formulating a plan. Twenty-five months later, that plan can now go full speed ahead. The possibilities are only limited by imaginations and willingness. Yes, there is work to be done, and it will demand full cooperation from all involved, but it will be worth it in the end. Naysayers take a back seat on this one.
CHEERS -?To a half-million dollars. In 2010, we started cheering those who were conscientious enough to take part in the Chamber Check program, which was first initiated through the then-Fulton County Regional Chamber of Commerce and has continued under the new Fulton Montgomery Regional Chamber of Commerce. With the final figures for 2013 now in, we can calculate purchases of these checks generated nearly $540,000 over the past four years. That money flows right back into our local businesses. Remember, these checks are not just available during the holidays but can be purchased all year long. The businesses that participate in the program welcome them, and we're sure they'd join us in another round of applause to people who have invested in our community.
JEERS – To a bit of a precedent. With the story this week on the fact Fulton County government has four union negotiations on the near horizon, it is a bit of a concern eight Fulton County officials are getting raises this year. The total amount of those raises is nearly $20,000, which is not astronomical, but it creates a perception money is available for increases in salaries.

The United States Institute of Peace (USIP) was established by Congress in 1984 as an independent, federally-funded national security institution devoted to the nonviolent prevention and mitigation of deadly conflict abroad.
Our mission is to prevent, mitigate and resolve violent conflicts around the world by engaging directly in conflict zones and providing analysis, education and resources to those working for peace. Explore our analysis, tools and programs by topic.
Strategies to avert violent conflict can only succeed if they are grounded in clear analysis of its roots and causes. What attracts youth to violent extremism? How does corruption inflame inter-communal tensions? Such questions, and action that flows from the answers, lie at the heart of the U.S. Institute of Peace's mission. Through research and interventions, USIP seeks, for instance, to prevent electoral violence and build early warning systems to avert genocide and mass atrocities. Partnerships with outside experts are key to such efforts as the 2006 Iraq Study Group and the current Study Group on Fragility.
A handful of extremist movements—including ISIS, Boko Haram, the Taliban, and Al-Shabab—fuel the world's most violent wars, concentrated in collapsed or fragile states in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. These conflicts, and associated terrorism, often stem from social and political grievances that are best addressed through peacebuilding approaches such as strengthening dialogue and mediation skills and supporting the rule of law. USIP conducts research, convenes experts, produces policy briefs, and conducts programs on the ground in conflict zones with the aim of reducing violent extremism. Learn more in USIP's fact sheet on the State of the Field.
Poverty, joblessness and economic stress are widely accepted to be fuel for violent conflict. Yet the peacebuilding effects of economic intervention on stability and violence are largely unknown. With the world and U.S. policymakers facing a growing number of conflict and humanitarian crises, determining what works and why in economic programs is a matter of increasing urgency. The U.S. Institute of Peace hosts research projects that seek to answer critical questions about the relationship of development, stabilization and violent conflict, and hosts a regular working group on economics and peace. Learn more in USIP's Insights Newsletter on the issue.
Education is a critical way to help prevent violent conflict from becoming deadly. Through the Global Peacebuilding Center (GPC), the Academy for International Conflict Management and Peacebuilding and other venues, USIP provides a variety of educational resources to people around the world.
Scholars, peacebuilders, and governments increasingly recognize that analyzing violent conflicts through the perspective of gender is critical to peaceful solutions. In addressing gender from Africa to Northern Ireland, the U.S. Institute of Peace focuses on four principal themes: women preventing extremist violence; stopping sexual violence in conflicts; the role of gender in violent conflict; and encouraging non-violent notions of masculinity in transitional societies. The Institute advances these goals through symposia, support for grassroots groups, and facilitated dialogue. Its publications and training materials inform policymakers and help strengthen the influence of women leaders in conflict settings. Learn more in USIP's State of the Field fact sheet.
Seizing the airwaves, broadcasting divisive messages, blocking Internet access and intimidating journalists are just some of the well-known tactics used to ensure control over information and promote violence. Less well developed is the capacity of the media for building peace. Learn about USIP's efforts to better harness the power of media for peacebuilding.
Mediation and facilitation are two broad categories of tools used in conflict management, resolution and prevention. For example, a neutral third party can mediate between warring factions and help facilitate meaningful and productive conversations to manage, resolve or prevent conflict from becoming violent.
Countries that are emerging out of conflict face multiple challenges – ranging from transitional justice issues, building civil society, writing new constitutions, creating new rule of law systems and security forces as well as rebuilding the domestic economy.
Religion is an important component in many conflict zones and a powerful tool for preventing violence. USIP has been a pioneer in religion and peacemaking, seeking new ways to combat violent extremism across all beliefs.
Fostering the development of the rule of law is central to conflict management. USIP's engagement is vital to strengthen the rule of law and provide people access to justice in the newly transitional countries of North Africa and the Middle East.
Learn more about USIP's Rule of Law center
The unprecedented pace of scientific and technical innovation has provided conflict managers with a range of new tools and opportunities, from the social networks that coordinated activists during the Arab Spring to the crowd-sourcing technologies that helped prevent election violence in Kenya. USIP focuses on harnessing these technologies to prevent conflict.
USIP helps to build professional, sustainable, and locally supported security institutions that promote democracy and the rule of law by assisting U.S. and foreign governments in reforming security sector institutions and developing a cadre of experts through education and training.
Capacity building, as well as sharing lessons learned and expertise help improve our nation's ability to prevent, manage and resolve conflicts – and thereby reduce the risks for violent conflict around the world. Training exercises include negotiation, mediation, facilitation and communication, among other peacebuilding skills
Today's generation of youth worldwide is the largest in history and forms the majority in many countries affected by armed conflict. As the demographic most easily enticed by militant groups but also a powerful force for constructive action, young people are key to a peaceful future. Through research, grants, and other support, the U.S. Institute of Peace conducts programs that, for example, address divides between and within Arab and Israeli societies, support peace education for university students in Afghanistan, and provide leadership and conflict management training for young leaders in the Middle East and Africa.

The report said "a profound reversal in adolescent drug trends is continuing." And while the glamorization of drugs in the media and entertainment is being blamed in part for the increase in drug use, the report also placed blame on a lack of national and community leadership in the fight against drug use. The report showed a decline in the use of marijuana and an increase in the number of teenagers who disapprove of drug use throughout the Reagan Administration. The decline in marijuana use hit its lowest point in 1992 at 22 percent, in the waning months of the Bush Administration. Since then it has been increasing at an alarming rate, and in 1995, the number of teenagers who used marijuana in the past year was 35 percent. At the same time drug use was at its lowest point, the percentage of teenagers who disapproved of drugs had reached 70 percent. That figure in 1995 had fallen to 56 percent, reflecting the changing attitudes of today's young people. Some segments of society will always glamorize drug use — never showing the public the other, darker side of addiction. Parents and teenagers alike should resist those messages with all of their efforts. But government leaders should recognize that by deemphasizing the daggers of drug use over the past few years, a resurgence of marijuana use has occurred among our young people. If we don't want to lose another generation, we should act now to support existing (and successful) drug awareness programs and urge that other measures be implemented to curb the use of drugs and the approval of drug use.

New Braunfels, Tx. 78131-1328.Clinton to be ''ruthlessly defined" While much of the public and all of the press are focused on who the Republicans will eventually pick to run against Bill Clinton, the Speaker of the House is spending IO days in Tampa with a small group of strategists drawing up plans for a GOP victory in November. Seated next to me for two hours on a plane ride from Washington to Atlanta last week, Newt Gingrich took out three sheets of paper and outlined a strategy that, he said, will be refined and then implemented beginning in late March or early April. Bill Clinton "is the most enthusiastically dishonest politician ever to occupy the White House, (and) no Republican who is harnessed to the burden of truth can verbally match him," noted Gingrich. So the Speaker believes Clinton must be "ruthlessly defined" by a Republican team that will draw on polls showing a new "values majority" and paint the president as the chief opponent of those values. Since 1968, this values majority has split, with roughly 30 percent going to the liberal candidate and 70 percent to the conservative candidate. In addition, he said, there is an "emerging dissatisfied-customer majority," which is reflected in a February Reader's Digest survey that found 68 percent believing they are overtaxed. And, according to a USA Today poll, 71 percent of baby boomers and 70 percent of Generation Xers believe they will receive little or no Social Security. This opens an opportunity for Republicans, said Gingrich, to paint "the Clinton liberals as a unionized, bureaucratic, Washington government that doesn't deliver." The chart Gingrich drew for me has the "Clinton liberals" appropriately on the left and "the rest of us" on the right. Tile Clinton liberals are centralized in Washington. The rest of us believe in a compassionate society filled with good people. "Our models are Alexis de Tocqueville and Marvin Olasky," says Gingrich. "We are going to redefine compassion and take it back." The Clinton liberals, he continued, desire to maintain programs that mire people in poverty, ignorance, addiction, alcoholism and entitlements. The rest of us want to liberate people from these things to self-reliance, responsibility, productivity, achievement and the pursuit of happiness. The Clinton liberals believe in a secular, multicultual, situation-ethics, "who are we to judge,' multilingual, "just say maybe to drugs" society. The rest of us believe in a Creator, truth, American civilization, character and just saying no to drugs. Finally, Gingrich said, the Clinton liberals believe in higher taxes to pay off the union political agenda and federal bureaucracy on the taxpayer's credit Cal Thomas card. The rest of us want lower taxes, lower interest rates, more take-home pay, more profitable savings, more jobs and a leaner decentralized government. Gingrich said a major GOP theme this fall will be "Clinton's 3 C's: cronies corruption and cover-up." Gingrich said if the Republican presidential nominee tries to battle Clinton one-on-one, "we lose." But, he believes, if a team of Republicans blankets the country with these themes, noting the distinctions between the president and the Republican team (and, said Gingrich, Republicans must mn as a team), "we win decisively." Isn't he worried that telling me of his plan will allow the Clinton team to mount a defense against it? Not really. "It's like the old Green Bay Packer sweep," says the Speaker. "You knew it was coming, it happens real slow, but if your team designs it right, the other team loses anyway." Following the Tampa meeting, Gingrich will outline the strategy for state GOP chairmen, along with Republican National Committee Chairman Haley Barbour. Gingrich is looking for a label that works as well in this campaign as "Contract With America" worked in 1994. Tentatively he's settled on 'The Great Choice," to emphasize what he believes defines "the most important election in 62 years." If Gingrich wins with this strategy, I'm framing the charts he drew for me.

The economy continues to grow, albeit slowly, under his tight rein, and he is on the verge of renomination to a third four-year term. President Clinton, despite some off-the-cuff criticism aimed at the Fed last week, is considering no other candidate to head the central bank. The GOP-controlled Congress is eager to confirm the 69-year-old Republican economist. And, in contrast to some previous years, Greenspan's semiannual report today to the House Banking monetary policy subcommittee should contain mostly good news. The economy he has tended since 1987 is doing well by Federal Reserve standards, if not by the standards of politicians on the campaign stump.Today In History By The Associated Press Today is Tuesday, Feb. 20, the 51st day of 1996. There are 315 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On Feb. 20,1962, astronaut John Glenn became the first American to orbit Earth after blasting off aboard the Friendship VII Mercury capsule. On this date: In 1790, Holy Roman Emperor Joseph II died. In 1792, President Washington signed an act creating the U.S. Post Office. In 1809, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the power of the federal government is greater than that of any individual state. In 1839, Congress prohibited dueling in the District of Columbia. In 1895, Frederick Douglass, an escaped slave who became one of America's most prominent abolitionists, died in Washington, D.C. In 1933, the House of Representatives completed congressional action on an amendment to repealAnalysis Although a bit frayed, the recovery from the 1990-91 recession should soon enter its sixth year, with unemployment holding below 6 percent for the third year in a row. Inflation — the Fed's major worry — is expected to hold al or under 3 percent for the sixth consecutive year. The stock market is booming and the banking system, on the brink of disaster as the decade began, is sound. 'They (Federal Reserve officials) have every reason to be satisfied with what they have done," said economist Norman Robertson, an adjunct professor at Carnegie-Mellon University. ''Economic growth is a little subnormal at the moment, but there's no cause for alarm." Tile gross domestic product, after bubbling along at a robust annual rate of 3.5 percent in 1994, slowed to around 1.5 percent last year, and economists pre- # Prohibition. In 1938, Anthony Eden resigned as British foreign secretary in a dispute with Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain.

The Fed has responded to that softness by cutting short-term interest rates three times since midsummer, most recently on Jan. 31. That's brought the benchmark federal hinds rate — the rate charged among banks on overnight loans — to 5.25 percent, down from 6 percent. Economists expect Fed policy makers to shave rates at least twice more this spring — another quar-ter-point after their next meeting on March 26 and the same again, perhaps in May.

Samsung Galaxy S4 cannot connect to PC via USB after upgrade to Android 4.4.2
I'm trying to connect my smartphone to my PC to upload photos but it is only charging, not showing as a device in 'My Computer' I'm using the samsung lead that came with the phone and this process used to work so I think it might be due to android 4.4.2 upgrade. Perhaps a change in the settings or something??
Don't really want to download Kies which others have suggested elsewhere - there must be another solution?

|*The elevation at the 5th station is about 2,300m, and 3,000m at the 7th station where the tour will shortly rest to sleep. The peak of the mountain is at an altitude of about 3,500m, where the temperature often falls under 5°C, and the temperature difference between the 5th station and the peak is sometimes more than 15°C.
*Take precautions to avoid altitude sickness, which can occur as the air thins at high altitude, such as getting enough sleep the night before the tour, and repeatedly check your physical condition while climbing.
*The purpose of this course is to see the sunrise from Mt. Fuji, so all participants will climb to a mountain hut accommodation above the 7th station on the first day. Participants may be unable to see the sunrise from the mountain due to weather or crowding on the mountain path, but please understand that these will not be accepted as reasons for a refund.
*Generally the tour will be carried out even in the case of rain, but in the case of bad weather at Mt. Fuji the guides will determine whether to halt the tour with first consideration to safety. Also, the above times, climbing time, route, and arrival times may vary greatly depending on weather and crowding conditions.
*An English interpreter guide will accompany you throughout the entire tour, and a mountain climbing guide (speaking Japanese only) will also accompany you from the 5th station to the peak and back.
*This is a shared tour with Japanese tourists. An English-speaking guide will accompany Sunrise Tours customers.
*Since the creation of a participant name list is required for safety purposes, we ask that all participants please provide their names and emergency contact details on the first day of the tour.
*Participants choosing to use a mountain hut accommodation other than 'Toyokan' are responsible for all expenses.
*The mountain hut accommodation consists of a mixed men's and women's room with bunkbeds, and less than 1 mat of space per person (about 1m by 2m). There are no bathing-facilities at the mountain hut, and non-flushing Japanese-style toilets are available outside.
*If you are late for the 2nd day departure from Mt. Fuji Lake Kawaguchi 5th Station (around 11:30, to be determined on the 2nd day of the tour), you will be responsible for the transportation costs to your next destination.
*There is no vegetarian option for dinner on the 1st day or breakfast on the 2nd day. Those with dietary restrictions should prepare and bring their meals for mountain climbing. Dinner on the 1st day is hamburg steaks, and breakfast on the 2nd day is 2 pieces of inarizushi (rice wrapped in fried tofu). Participants can order additional drinks and food at the mountain hut at their own expense.
*Please be advised that according to Yamanashi prefecture ordinance, persons with tattoos are prohibited from bathing in hot springs.
*Children 5 years and under cannot participate in this tour. Those between 6 and 15 years old must be accompanied by someone 20 years old or older. Those between 16 and 19 may participate by themselves if an agreement form signed by their parent or guardian is received by us within 4 days before the tour.
*Mountain accident insurance is not included in this tour. (Customers of non-Japanese nationality are unable to enroll in Japanese mountain accident insurance.) We recommend customers enroll in overseas travel insurance before leaving their country.
*Please inform us of your previous accommodation and contact details when making your reservation.
*The tour may be cancelled if the minimum number of participants is not met within 21 days prior to the tour.
*The Mount Fuji Preservation contribution (JPY 1,000) is not included in the tour price. Participants may make a contribution at Mt. Fuji on a voluntary basis.
*According to Yamanashi prefecture ordinance, persons with tattoos are prohibited from bathing in hot springs. Customers with tattoos are unable to bathe at Benifuji-no-Yu.

This is your resource to discuss support topics with your peers, and learn from each other.
Hi folks
I've identified the following BlackBerry connection types and the following strings that must be appended to the url in order to allow/force their use:
1. connection made from simulator, with mds simulator running ";deviceside=false"
2. connection made from simulator, NO mds simulator running ";deviceside=true"
3. BIS connection ";deviceside=false;ConnectionType=Xmds-publicX"
NOTE I added the 2 X's you see above, the forum rejected the post without them
4. BES connection ";deviceside=false"
5. wifi connection ";interface=wifi"
6. WAP2 connection ";deviceside=true;ConnectionUID="+uid of service record whose cid contains wptcp and wap2
but does not contain wifi or mms
7. TCP connection ";deviceside=true"
My app is creating a secure socket by opening a url of the form ssl://serverNameortNumber I'd like to verify all these different connection types can be used to create a secure socket. Can anyone confirm this?
I'd also like to know what an mds simulator is and should I account for it (or whatever mds is) in any of the other connection types?
I am not aware of there being any BB restrictions on connections that are supported for secure sockets so I would happily attempt to establish a socket connection using any of the methods you have identified.
I would have two reservations:
1) carriers may have their own restrictions, so options for WAP and carrier TCP may be restricted by the carrier gateway.
2) I suspect you will struggle through some gateways to connect to ports other than the standard ports, i.e. 80 and 443.
To understand the role of the MDS Simulator you first need to understand the role of MDS. Glossing over some details, MDS applies in a corporate (BES) environment. Corporate phones will connect using an encrypted tunnel to this. The MDS runs behind the corporate firewall, which means BlackBerry devices can gain access to corporate sites via this connection - it is a bit like they have VPN'ed in. MDS Simulator is just a package you can run on your PC so that you can simulate the use of MDS in a corporate environment.
Anyway you use ";deviceside=false" to connect to:
a) the MDS Simulator if you are running on a SImulator
b) The MDS running behind the corporate firewall, if you are running on a corporate BB.
Can I recommend this video to you:

Penang Island: What to see and do
Before the slew of awards as one of the top culinary spots in the world, one of the most compelling destinations as voted in the NY Times, and being the home of foods worth travelling the world to gorge on, the little island of betel nut palms was the Malay peninsula's 'convenient magazine for trade'.
Standing proud as one-half of the nation's only historical cities (alongside Malacca) recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Georgetown was named after King George III, and is the country's oldest colonial settlement and the Federation of Malaya's second city only after Singapore. Embodying all things Penang-nite, the state's capital is treasured by her people for her heritage and old-world charm. Follow the Heritage Trail walks which take you past the iconic landmarks like Fort Cornwallis, which comes with her own 17th-century Dutch cannon and the cultural-crossroads of the Street of Harmony where the many major religions strive side-by-side, before ending your tour at the Penang Ferry Terminal, where a return ride to mainland Butterworth gives you a view of a metropolis floating on water.
The island's most famous beach destination, Batu Feringghi is known for her Hard Rock Hotel luxury resort, clusters of para-gliders and windsurfers, and the plentiful stalls of the night market. A coastal heaven which shines with her string of international resorts and sun-worshippers by day, Georgetown's north-western neighbour transforms into a carnival of lively haggling and colourful exhibits as the sun sets. Surviving the 2004 tsunami waves in form and name, Feringghi's shores return with her clutches of sun-frolickers on beach buggies and jet-skiers, as well as the odd tanning bodies or two. Then, find a souvenir worthy of a Malaysian night market at the Jalan Batu Ferringhi pasar malam as you polish off your skills in running down prices off imitation handbags, t-shirts, and local artwork.
Then, chart your discovery of Penang cuisine as you drive down 'The New Esplanade' of Gurney Drive, the island's celebrated seafront promenade. Spoken in the same breath as 'hawker food' and 'dining by the sea', the local's Persiaran Gurney may intimidate with her handful of fancy skyscrapers and luxury homes, but as you stroll past the high-rise developments and five-star hotels, a rewarding alfresco fare of char kway teow, assam laksa and lok lok awaits. Welcoming the groups of families on a quiet evening out, or the young partiers off for a night in the city, the mobile stall providers open till late and cleverly combine the experience of an authentic Malaysian eat-out with the soothing sensation of a beach getaway.

Raiyan T. Zaman
Instructor, Medicine - Cardiovascular Medicine
Current Research and Scholarly Interests My academic and scientific training has been focused on design and development of novel fiber-optic based biomedical instrumentation to improve the detection and, intervention, and treatment of various diseases. Currently, I am on a Western State Affiliate Winter 2013 Postdoctoral Fellowship from the American Heart Association (AHA) at the Stanford University School of Medicine in the laboratory of Professors Lei Xing and Michael V. McConnell, where I developed a novel fiber-optic catheter based optical imaging system to detect vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque in carotid arteries. In this work, I developed a novel scintillating balloon which can detect the vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque from stable plaque with high sensitivity after 18F-FDG uptake by the macrophages within the thin cap fibro atheroma (TCFA). The TCFA causes 60-70% of acute coronary syndrome that leads to sudden cardiac death and myocardial infarction.

Family Bank ties NSE listing to General Election
Posted Thursday, May 31 2012 at 21:00
The bank's plan to list aims to boost liquidity and offer its investors an exit route.
Last year, Tunis-based Africinvest, Netherlands' FMO, and Norway's Norfund made a joint equity investment of Sh1 billion in the bank that gave them a 22.4 per cent stake.
Its net profit dropped marginally to Sh354.6 million last year from Sh354.69 million in 2010 on high operating expenses that grew to Sh3.24 billion from Sh2.6 billion.
Mr Munyiri said the bank is counting on new product lines, expansion to new markets, and increased capital to return to profit growth.
The bank, whose products have targeted the low-end of the market, aim at widening its product offering to include home loans, corporate banking, and forex trading with focus on corporate lending.
A stronger Family Bank is looking to lend more to companies and big ticket projects in the property market to grow its lending book and push it to the top tier of Kenya's banking sector.
Central Bank of Kenya places its market share at 1.3 per cent compared to Kenya Commercial Bank (14 per cent), Barclays Bank (8.3 per cent), and Equity Bank (8.8 per cent).
Family Bank has tapped former executives of top tier banks as it seeks to replicate their business model in what could raise the stakes in the lending market.
Human capital has become the most sought after resource for market share growth in Kenya's banking industry where business ideas are being copied with speed, sparking a talent war.
Family Bank has been modelling its strategy on that of Equity Bank, which has upset Kenya's conservative financial sector with the rollout of products that are popular with the low-end of the market, which has traditionally been considered high risk.

They also inspect properties, considering factors such as market value and building or replacement costs to establish appraisal value. Equally important, assessors have to explain assessed values to property owners and defend appealed assessments at public hearings. They are often called upon to inspect new construction and major improvements to existing structures to establish values. They are expected to analyze trends in sales prices and rents, to gauge property values or decide on the precision of assessments. Finally, assessors conduct regular reviews of property within jurisdictions to establish changes in property due to construction or demolition.
Every day, assessors are expected to be able to see details at a very fine level of focus. They need to articulate ideas and problems. It is also important that they think through problems and come up with general rules.

They are often called upon to identify the ownership of each piece of taxable property. They also hire staff members. They are sometimes expected to approve applications for property tax exemptions or deductions. Somewhat less frequently, assessors are also expected to ready and maintain current data on each parcel assessed, including maps of boundaries, inventories of land and structures and any applicable exemptions.
Assessors sometimes are asked to furnish sales analyses to be used for equalization of school aid. They also have to be able to maintain familiarity with aspects of local real estate markets And finally, they sometimes have to furnish sales analyses to be used for equalization of school aid.
