The electronic energy structure of 2H and 3C AlN and BN crystals and BxAl1−xN solid solutions is calculated on the basis of the local coherent potential method using the cluster version of the MT approximation and the theory of multiple scattering. The features of the electronic structure of 2H-AlN crystals are compared with x-ray K and L absorption and emission spectra of aluminum and nitrogen. An interpretation of these features is given. The concentration dependences of the width of the upper subband of the valence band and the band gap in BxAl1−xN solid solutions (x = 0.25, 0.5, 0.75) are investigated. Charge transfer from aluminum to nitrogen atoms is shown to occur and increase with boron doping in both crystallographic modifications.

Six-year plan unveiled for transportation improvements in Virginia
RICHMOND, Va. - The Commonwealth Transportation Board (CTB) released today the draft Six-Year Improvement Program, which allocates $13.1 billion to transportation projects over the next six fiscal years beginning July 1, 2014.
Projects include highway, road, bridge, rail, transit, bicycle/pedestrian paths and other transportation improvements across the state.
"A critical aspect of the six-year program is the ongoing rehabilitation of existing roadways and bridges across the state," said Charlie Kilpatrick, commissioner of the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT). "VDOT has accelerated efforts to extend the life of pavements and bridges so we can get the most out of the 57,000 miles of infrastructure we're responsible for maintaining across the state. This is imperative to motorist safety and ease of travel."
Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation Director, Jennifer Mitchell stated that, "The agency will be focusing its efforts toward State of Good Repair improvements for transit and rail, while also making targeted investments of high priority expansion projects." "Additionally," she continued, "DRPT is committed to investing in rail improvements that support Virginia business and economic growth throughout the Commonwealth."
The $13.1 billion program is $1.3 billion less than last year's program because state revenues and federal highway and transit funding have decreased.
FY 2015-2020 Six-Year Improvement Program breakdown:
$9.9 billion – Highway construction
$3.2 billion – Rail and public transportation
$13.1 billion – Total six-year program
In the Bristol district, that includes:
• I-81 interchange improvements in Abington - $44 million
• Corridor Q Poplar Creek - $203 million
• Coalfields Expressway Crane's Nest design - $10 million
Public hearings will be held across the state on the draft program through mid-May. Layne will be joined by VDOT and DRPT officials in each of the locations to share highlights of the program and listen to public comments. The CTB will then take public comments into consideration prior to adopting the final six-year program on June 18. The program is updated each year to reflect latest revenue projections.

FX8350 is terrible for OpenFOAM
I built a new computer specifically for OpenFoam.
I am using the new eight-core AMD FX 8350 processor, 16 gb GSkill ram, running at 90% of the L3 cache speed (fast!), and two hard drives in RAID1.
I was expecting this computer to be extremely quick, but it is running identical simulations about 10x slower than the local i7 workstations at school.
Could I have setup something incorrectly during installation of Ubuntu 12.04 or OpenFoam 2.20?
Any help would greatly appreciated, Thanks.
Greetings Charlie and welcome to the forum!
You should have done some more research on the Hardware forum: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/hardware/
There you should have found at least this thread: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/har...re-6-core.html
There are a few details to keep in mind:
wyldckat, thanks for your reply. I am using 1600 MHz ram overclocked to 1866 MHz running in dual channel. Also, OpenFoam was installed from the Deb Pack. I think the problem comes from running my case using all 8 cores in parallel, so the L2 cache is split between the two cores, causing slow memory reads.
A previous thread talked about optimizing mpirun for core affinity. Can't say I understand cache very well, but I'll compare with running cases split between 4 sets of 2 cores.

Teen in Sweden jailed eight years for honour killing
Stockholm: A Swedish court on Tuesday sentenced a 17-year-old man to eight years in prison for stabbing his sister 107 times in what judges called an honour killing.
The teen, who was 16 at the time, was convicted of killing his 19-year-old sister at her home in the southwestern town of Landskrona on April 23 last year.
He had called emergency services and said a masked attacker had killed her, but investigators said his story didn't hold up against evidence found at the scene.
"The court found the man guilty of the murder and that the motive was to restore the family's honour," the Lund district court said in a statement.

2. The article states that the victim was a refuge from Iraq.
She may have been forced into a marriage there, and escaped to Sweden. She told the local social service people that her life was in danger but they didn't take her seriously.
It's not clear whether the rest of her family lives in Iraq or in Sweden.
I'm partially of Swedish ancestry myself and I have visited the country. Sweden has taken in many, many middle-eastern refugees, and according to some reports, things are not working out well. The cultures are very different, particularly with respect to the treatment of women.
I've seen news stories that state that many of the refugee men and their sons do not respect Swedish laws, and commit the majority of rapes in Sweden even though they are 10-15% of the population. There are also reports that areas of Malmo, the third largest Swedish city, are no-go areas for police, fire and EMS because the refugees who live in those areas pummel the service providers with rocks and sometimes molotov cocktails.
Other Swedes completely deny that there is any problem.
Someone here recently started a thread that said that assimilation must not be mentioned in the upcoming immigration debate.
I say that anyone coming into a new country must abide by the laws of their new country, and in Sweden, rape is a major crime.
I'm afraid that Swedes will keep quiet for a long time about this, but eventually something will happen and people will get hurt.

10. Sweden has had a number of these
Last edited Thu Jan 31, 2013, 12:56 AM - Edit history (1)
honor killings in recent years. Sweden has a relatively liberal immigration policy. Most of these immigrants are from the middle east and central Asia, and are largely Muslim. Culturally, these immigrants are seen as being from another planet. They are not mixing too well with native Swedes. The social norms of the immigrants and native population a nearly as polar opposite as you can get. Some native Swedes are actually resentful of the new immigrants, which, as I understand it, has fueled a rightward shift in Swedish politics.
It's in cases like this where the values and norms of these cultures clash. This case will likely not be the last. It does not surprise me that the girl fled to Sweden or that the family sent a brother to kill her.

22. Swedes still hold fast to their liberal/social values
A good friend was in Stokholm on an academic conference. He said once you get there, you can feel that the country is different. The Swedes don't like big inequalities. And not only in income but in other ways as well. Many of these Muslim families have come from places where educating girls is forbidden. There has a been an effort by the government to make sure these girls get to school and get an education whether the parents want it or not. Try to keep a young girl from getting educated and Swedish authorities may show up at your door.
I'm sure there are other issues that clash as well. Roles of women, attitudes toward sex, and a widespread secularism among the native Swedes are just a few.
Beyond those, most of these immigrants don't bring much to the economic table. Typically it's the men that work outside the house but they don't have marketable skills to obtain jobs. What usually happens is they wind up going straight to welfare. This breeds further resentment from native Swedes who pay the taxes. It's too bad as well, the Scandinavian countries like Sweden and Norway have undergone economic booms while several of their southern neighbors are struggling with depression-like unemployment and austerity.

30. "Sweden has a relatively liberal immigration policy." Indeed.
...in 2010, there were 1.33 million foreign-born residents in Sweden, corresponding to 14.3% of the total population. Of these, 859,000 (9.2%) were born outside the EU and 477,000 (5.1%) were born in another EU Member State.
The largest groups were:
Finland (166,723)
Former Yugoslavia (155,166)
Iraq (125,499)
Iran (63,828)
Poland (49,518)
Germany (48,442)
Denmark (44,951)
Turkey (43,909)
Norway (43,058)
Somalia (40,165)
In the US foreign-born residents represent a little under 12% of our population.

12. Because shanking your sister says such good things about your family's reputation!
I know that where I live, butchering your own family members is a surefire way to be the family that everyone else emulates.
The court meanwhile refused to pay damages to the victim's mother and a half-sister born to the same father, arguing the relatives did not have a close relationship with the deceased.
The lawyer for the convicted teen called the sentence "extremely harsh" and said he planned to appeal.
The defendant should be sentenced to a lifetime job of "soap picker-upper" in an American prison.

29. Thinking you can rehabilitate a 17 year old who brutally murders his sister in 8 years
due to having been brainwashed for 16 years into what 'honour' is in his culture is overly optimistic, if you ask me. Especially since he denied the whole thing at first, which clearly shows he knows it was actually wrong, but that lying might get him off punishment. You can't just say "we'll wait until he says he knows it was wrong and won't do it again".

28. Defence lawyer calls the 8 years "incredibly harsh"; would have been 4 if tried as a 16 year old
The boy, who was 16 at the time of the attack, killed his 19-year-old sister in her apartment in Landskrona.
"This is an incredibly harsh sentence. My client is in shock," the teen's defence lawyer, Urban Jansson, told the TT news agency.
As the boy was only days away from his 17th birthday at the time of the attack, the judge decided to punish him as a 17-year-old rather than as a 16-year-old, altering the sentence therefore from four years to eight years in prison.
The sister had previously claimed she was forcibly married off at age 15 and raped.
I'd love a Swedish perspective on this. By coincidence, the Borgen TV drama, set in Danish politics, had a plotline a couple of weeks ago about the criminal age of responsibility in Denmark. The far right party wanted to reduced it from 16 to 14, and gave, among their reasoning, "it's only 12 in Britain", while the moderate party (the 'heroes' of the programme - the far right leader is stereotypically ugly and creepy) wanted to keep it at 16 to 'preserve our children's innocence'. Maybe Scandinavians really do believe people at 15 or 16 really can't tell that murder is wrong. I can't see that myself; I think they can be extremely vicious, and know exactly what they're doing.

HOW-TO Install Shift Knob/Boot on ATX
How-to Install a Shift Knob/Boot on your ATX
Ok, want to get rid of that ugly T-handle shift knob the Auto Focus came equipped with? It's not too hard, here we go:
1. Remove your stock console. This mod should work for a console out of an atx or mtx car, they appear identical.Removing the console involves a screw under each front cupholder, and one under a rear cupholder for most models. Pull the e-brake all the way up, and put the car into 2, as it helps to wiggle the console out. If you have an armrest, that needs removing too, it attaches with 2 bolts hidden under a plastic panel at the rear, you can pop it off from the backseat.
2. Once the console is out, you should see something like this:
3. Remove the stock shift knob by removing one Torx/hex screw, under your O/D button. I can't remember the size, but it's Metric... maybe 13mm?
(NOTE- Knob can also be removed before the console, it makes no difference)
4. Once the knob's screw is out, simply pull up on the piece to get it off the shift rod, the O/D wires will pull out with it, they're attached with a tiny plug:
Now you have this, the shift stalk with a smaller rod coming out of it. When you push the center rod down, it lets you move the gear selector so any aftermarket knob must have a part to push down once installed:
5. For me, the console wouldn't go back on with a shift boot in place while leaving the gear selector "plate" in place, so I removed it. It is attached with a couple clips that release if you tug up on the plate. There are also 2 wires going to the plate, that backlight the gears when your lights are on (you can't see these with the boot on). It's possible you could do some Dremeling to this plate to let the shift boot ring set in far enough to screw the console back into place, but I didn't try:
~Here you see the driver side clip, in front of the plate, and the red & black wires I snipped.
With the plate removed, your car's center now looks like this:
6. If your knob doens't have an OD button integrated (most don't) you can relocate it, or don't since your car is automatically in OD... without a new button you just wouldn't be able to go down to Drive. I haven't yet relocated my OD switch, but this picture is trying to show you where the wires are. At the right side of the shot is the shifter stalk, if you lean your head over the shift area and look down you see a small white plastic rectangle with (I think) 2 wires running to it. The rectangle looks exactly like the plug-end attached to your stock knob:
7. Now you want to pop a shift boot into the console before reinstalling it. This one shown was bought off an SVT, so the leather boot was already stapled to the plastic "ring" structure that lets it snap into the console. A regular MTX Focus will have a vinyl boot with its ring. Notice the 2 plastic tabs on the left side of the ring, and the one tab in the center of the right end, those are securing it to the bottom of the console:
NOTE- this can be done without the plastic ring if you buy a universal boot (NAPA, AutoZone...) and tuck it around the stock gear selector plate (so don't remove that piece if you do it this way!)
8. Now reinstall your console, you don't have to screw it in, but make sure it settles back into place so that you could tighten it down. Here's the look so far:
9. Now you will install whatever knob you purchased for the task. My knob was made by MOMO, it's their only Automatic model. I bought it
Oh, right now it's on Sale if you like it!
It claimed that it can't be installed on ATXs with "side button" function, but clearly that's untrue. Make sure your knob is made for an auto, as the MTX ones won't fit correctly. Mine came with several rubber "cylinders" with different diameters to be placed in the knob so it fit somewhat snugly on the shift stalk, and then the knob, 3 screws and a silver twist-on bottom portion:
And the end result! (Your results may vary on account of knob choice)
~This mod was done to a 2003 Focus, it should work for all years (counting 2005) as all the parts appear to have been conserved.

Satisfy your meat cravings with a batch of these easy-to-make ankake meatballs. Bite-size pieces of juicy, seasoned pork mince, topped with a thick, luscious sweet and sour ankake sauce, these meatballs are guaranteed to be a winner whether they are added to a bento lunch or eaten as a snack during a movie night in. Why not also try this delicious ankake sauce with tofu, in a yaki udon stir fry, or mixed into fried rice?
In a large bowl, break up the pork mince. Next, add the salt and mix in well. Then mix in the soy sauce, ginger and cooking sake, followed by the egg.
Keep mixing until the pork starts to become a thick paste, but don't worry if your meatballs are a little bit gloppy at this point. Next, quickly stir in the katakuriko starch.
Lightly oil your hands to prevent the pork from sticking when you mould your meatballs. Using a spoon scoop out roughly tbsp sized portions of the pork mixture and form into meatball shapes.
In a sturdy pan heat some oil until it reaches about 170°C. Fry the meatballs in the oil, rotating them after approx. 20-30 seconds to make sure they are evenly cooked. Fry until the oil reaches 185°C and the meatballs have turned golden brown.
In a wok add all the ingredients for the sweet and sour ankake sauce, except the katakuriko starch powder. Mix the katakuriko with 1/2 tbsp of water, then add to the wok.
While mixing the sauce, heat the wok over a medium flame until it has started to thicken. Next, add the meatballs and a splash of sesame oil, making sure the meatballs are evenly covered with sauce.
Serve your meatballs and garnish with the shredded spring onion, a sprinkle of sesame seeds and a few sprigs of coriander.
• If you are watching your weight, you could try pan frying, roasting or boiling the meatballs instead of frying. However they may not keep as well, so if you are making them for a bento keep the sauce separately until you want to eat them.

Actor Rana Daggubati says the action sequences in upcoming second installment of Baahubali are bigger and better than the first part.
Baahubali: The Conclusion is the second and final part of the multi-lingual film, directed by S S Rajamouli. The film also stars Prabhas, Anushka Shetty and Tamannaah Bhatia.
"The action scenes in Baahubali 2 will make the first film look small. They have been amazingly shot and are mind blowing. We were left awestruck while filming them, so I can imagine how the audience will be blown away by them," Rana told PTI in an interview.
The 31-year-old actor said the fans should expect a far more enthralling experience than the film as its scale is much larger than the first movie. "The second film will bring a totality to the story. People will get to know why Kattapa killed Baahubali. And the other interesting aspect is the large scale, which is far bigger than the prequel's," he said.
"During the first time we were experimenting, things weren't established, but now Baahubali has become a brand so, we have shot it accordingly," he said. On his own physical transformation, Rana said it took him six-eight months to get the bulkier look.
"It was a lot of hard work. When we started I was already fitter, but they needed more. It took six-eight months of aggressive training and strict diet," he said. Baahubali: The Conclusion will hit the theaters on April 28, 2017.

Fred Thompson's (R-Tenn.) long-anticipated hearings into alleged illegal campaign activities by the Clinton/Gore re-election team, predictably, will resemble a summer rerun and get nowhere, slowly. This is being written before Thompson's hamstringed hearings open, but we've seen the "previews" during advance posturing by White House and Democratic Party flacks. There is no reason to believe Democrats won't succeed in stonewalling and covering up for Clinton/Gore, while accusing Republicans of "unfair" behavior. They'll invoke the doctrine of moral equivalency, claiming Republicans have behaved just as badly as Democrats. They'll say what we really need is campaign-finance reform. And let's not forget the role of the big media, especially the nightly television news, which will do all it can to uncritically trumpet die Clinton/Gore line and match every revelation about illegal Democratic activity with a similar story about Republicans. This collective and coordinated effort will persuade the uniformed that Republicans are being unfair to the president and vice president, who are just trying to do their jobs for the benefit of soccer moms and their children. Democrats, who have ran out of even bad ideas, have honed their scandal skills instead. These have been their only route to power since Watergate. Republicans, focusing on idea revolution* have played mostly defense against Democrat attacks, largely unable to overcome the prevailing negative image of being "mean-spirited" politicians, who don it care about the environment, the elderly, your children, minorities, the arts or education. They care only about rich, white pregnant people (but not their babies after birth). Starting with so large a deficit is like playing the Chicago Bulls in a best-of-seven series and losing the first three games. Republicans may have lost this fight before it begins. They agreed to a limited budget said to be equivalent to that for the Watergate hearings. Even inflation, to say nothing of the Clinton administration's successes in delaying, denying and deceiving, should have mandated a larger budget. Then, Thompson agreed to an end-of-this-year deadline, meaning that Clinton/Gore apologists could run out the clock and claim vindication on New Year's Eve if no "smoking gun" has been produced. What this committee needs is a Howard Baker figure who will transcend politics to get at the truth. It was Baker who led the Senate Watergate Com mittee's Republicans (including then-counsel Fred Thompson) in their questioning of President Nixon's men. Some thought Sen. John Glenn (D-Ohio) would play that role in this investigation. There are few in the Senate more highly regarded in the public mind than Glenn because of his astronaut-hero status. But Glenn has allowed his lower political nature to obscure his greater responsibility to fairly investigate the charges against Clinton/Gore, and he has joined all of this president's men (and women) in a cheap political charade to derail the investigation. It is behavior unworthy of an otherwise decent man. In the weeks leading up to the hearing, Clinton/Gore disinformation specialists have been practicing their lines, dismissing the campaign-finance investigations "politics" and implying that they were noble in returning most of the tainted money they claim to have unknowingly raised. In their minds they were implementing the Hard Rock Cafe slogan to "save the planet" by keeping Republicans out of the White House. I could be wrong. Perhaps Republicans have found a way to surgically reverse die procedure that has emasculated most of their team. But given their performance on a lot of other issues leading up to these hearings, it will take a miracle to expose Clinton/Gore. (Cat Thomas is a syndicated columnist.) Letters to the EditorPay* paradise, put up a parking lot Editor, Re: Fred Willard's letter on the Albertson's lot clearance (July 4, p. 4a). You got to be kidding me.

Thom McKee
|This biography of a living person needs additional citations for verification. (September 2008) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Thom McKee (born 1955) is a former United States Navy officer and 1977 graduate of the Naval Academy, who was a long-running contestant on Tic-Tac-Dough, an American game show, in 1980. He set a number of game show records for the time, appearing on 46 episodes of the series and winning $312,700 in cash and prizes. This total made him the biggest winner in the history of television game shows at the time.
Performance on Tic Tac Dough[edit]
As a contestant on Tic Tac Dough, McKee won $312,700 (the equivalent of about $800,000 in today's dollars) in cash and prizes over 46 days on the show. He played a total of 89 games, defeating 43 opponents, answering 353 questions correctly. His total prizes included eight cars (as winners on Tic Tac Dough were awarded a new car every fifth win), three sailboats, 16 vacations (which he was unable to take), several other smaller prizes, and $200,000 in cash.[1] Prior to McKee's record, the most ever won on a television game show was The Joker's Wild contestant Eileen Jason, who won $305,280 ($250,000 of which was won during the 1979 Tournament of Champions).[citation needed]
McKee was defeated by Erik Kraepelien to end his winning streak. After his defeat, McKee appeared on To Tell the Truth in 1980. Only one of the four celebrity panelists was able to identify him alongside his two impostors. Three years after his original run on Tic Tac Dough, McKee made one more appearance on the show, this time to compete in a Tournament of Champions. In the 1990s, he became president of Hicks & Rotner Associates Inc. (now H&R Retail), a brokerage firm.[2] He is no longer with the firm.
Records broken[edit]
The wins and consecutive days records were broken by 100% contestant Ian Lygo in 1998, while the winnings record was broken by Michael Shutterly during the original 15-night run of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire in 1999, where he won $500,000. McKee still holds the American record for most consecutive games played (88 games, 43 wins), due to the nature of Tic Tac Dough making ties possible (and frequent). However, Jeopardy! contestant Ken Jennings (who himself set a new cash winnings record), beat the wins record with 74, and most consecutive days with 75 in 2004–05.[1]
Other shows[edit]
McKee was a subject on the Robin Ward-hosted version of To Tell the Truth shortly after his reign on Tic Tac Dough came to an end.
McKee participated in the American version of Grand Slam as the #11 seed, facing a field of game show greats. He faced John Carpenter of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire fame in a first-round matchup, but lost.

Unfortunately, this will not make it into the Jetty 6.1.12 final release (out later today), but that does have some optimizations over 6.1.12.rc4 > Upgrade Jetty to 6.x > -------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-1650 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1650 > Project: Hadoop Core > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: mapred > Reporter: Devaraj Das > Assignee: Devaraj Das > Attachments: 1650-0.patch, 1650-20080120.patch, 1650-jetty6.1.9.patch, 1650-jetty6.1.9.v1.patch, hadoop-1650-jetty6.1.5.patch, hadoop-jetty6.1.4-lib.tar.gz, hadoop-jetty6.1.6-lib.tar.gz, hadoop-jetty6.1.9-lib.tar.gz, jetty-hadoop-6.1.6.patch, jetty-hbase.patch, jetty6.1.4.patch, jetty6.1.6.patch > > > This is the third attempt at moving to jetty6. Apparently, the jetty-6.1.4 has fixed some of the issues we discovered in jetty during HADOOP-736 and HADOOP-1273. I'd like to keep this issue open for sometime so that we have enough time to test out things. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.

Chocolatier 2: Secret Ingredients
Reviewed by Yuri Storchak
Genre and what to do:Tycoon game. The delicious world of chocolate is once again turned on its side in this new chapter of the Chocolatier saga! There is a mole controlling Baumeister Confections, and it is up to you, along with the help of the rebellious and independent granddaughter of Evangeline, to build a new empire from the ground up to take over Baumeister Confections. Rise up in this industrial age of innovation and seek out secret ingredients to create rich new recipes as you enter the world of Chocolatier 2!
Style and atmosphere inside the game:Chocolatier 2 is a captivating game that features colorful detailed graphics, diverse sound effects and pleasant instrumental music. Let me tell few words about several original twists that are worth mentioning. First of all it is factory's efficiency that is set by playing mini-game, where you have to "shoot" the correct ingredients into trays that rotate around on a machine. The goal is to correctly fill as many trays as possible in the time limit. Another interesting moment is visiting the various markets, saloons and points of interest in each port and talking to the locals, many of whom might have a new recipe or two that they're willing to share for the right price, or if you're willing to do something for them in return. You can try bargaining with merchants to get better prices for ingredients, which sometimes works and sometimes backfires and causes them to get angry and raise their prices even higher. All in all, Chocolatier 2 is the promising game that delivers hours of fun for gamers looking to stretch their brains and indulge their virtual sweet-tooth at the same time

I love the smell. The hand wash can be a bit drying, and the pump sometimes need a "manual reset". I would buy again, and will byu refill.

Apple has finally launched the much awaited iPhone 7 and 7 Plus with great new features, water-resistant certification, a brand new camera system, better display, battery life and many more features. It comes with iOS 10 pre-installed and new colors in Black and Jet Black.
Visit our page to order online or for pricing info, which shall be updated in the upcoming days. https://www.mediacenterpk.com/collections/apple-iphone7-price-karachi-pakistan
According to MacRumors, below are some of the salient features of the new iPhone 7 and 7 Plus.
"There is no physical Home button on the iPhone 7, as it has been replaced by a "solid-state" pressure sensitive button that's connected to a redesigned Taptic Engine to deliver haptic feedback mimicking traditional button presses. A new display is 25 percent brighter and supports wide color gamut for richer, true-to-life colors.
There is no headphone jack in the iPhone 7, so headphones that connect to it need to be Bluetooth or equipped with a Lightning connector. Apple is shipping the iPhone with Lightning EarPods and a 3.5mm to Lightning adapter, plus it has designed new completely wireless high-tech AirPods to ease the transition.
Stereo speakers, located at the top and bottom of the iPhone, are a new addition, and the biggest feature improvement comes in the form of an overhauled camera system. The iPhone 7 features a 28mm 12-megapixel camera with optical image stabilization, a wider f/1.8 aperture 6-element lens, wide color capture, and a new Apple image signaling processor, all of which results in brighter, sharper, more detailed photos, even in low-light conditions.
The iPhone 7 Plus features all of the camera improvements in the iPhone 7, but in addition to a 28mm wide-angle lens, it has a second 56mm telephoto lens for dual-camera functionality that enables better optical zoom. In a future update, it will also support a new shallow-depth-of-field portrait mode that uses the two lenses to draw out the portrait subject while blurring the background.
Both iPhones have a new four-LED flash that's 50% brighter and stronger, plus an upgraded 7-megapixel FaceTime HD camera with new sensor technology and auto image stabilization for better selfies and clearer FaceTime calls.
The iPhone 7 might look a lot like the iPhone 6s, but it's been re-engineered from the inside out with new seals and new adhesive techniques to make it more water and dust resistant. It has a dust/water resistance rating of IP67, meaning it's entirely dust proof and able to withstand 1 meter of water for up to 30 minutes. It's safe from splashes and accidental submersion, but don't take it swimming."
iPhone 7 and 7 Plus price and availability coming soon. You can purchase an Apple iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus at MediaCenter outlets in Karachi or online, with free shipping to Islamabad, Lahore and virtually all other cities within Pakistan.

I think this is more of a question for the pahysician who will be doing the procedure for you. it depends on what kind of fractional CO2 laser will be used and at what settings. personally I do not have reservations regarding the use of fractional CO2 lasers on dry skin. it does make your skin very very dry after the procedure. u will have to use extra soothing moisturizers and keep ur skin very hydrated.
My Skin is Very Dry and Delicate.but Some Pigmentation in my Face Skin. Can I Do Fractional Co2 Lazer?

The next generation Range Rover is currently going through final stages of testing and is expected to debut later this year. Talented Ivan Martinovic at PS-Garage have created a very realistic rendering based on different spy photos and the fact that the new model is to follow similar design language as the Evoque.
Compared to the outgoing model, the new Range Rover is reportedly around 400kg lighter thanks to an aluminum-intensive platform that was co-developed with Jaguar.
Engine options are expected to remain very similar, with improved fuel economy and emissions.
